Executive Summary
On November 14, 2019, the City Council approved the DSRT SURF Specific Plan (SP),
Precise Plan (PP), and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) by Resolution 2019-82 and adopted
Resolution No. 2019-83 certifying an EIR, SCH No. 2019011044, Mitigated Monitoring and
Reporting Program, and adopted a Statement of Overriding Consideration in evaluating
potentially adverse environmental impacts. The land use allowances in the Specific Plan
included a six-acre surf lagoon, up to 350 hotel rooms, and 88 residential villas. On February
4, 2021, Desert Wave Ventures, LLC, applied for amendments to the approved SP, PP, and
TTM, including an addendum to the EIR for the development of a 5.5-acre surf lagoon and
surf center facilities, 92 hotel rooms, 83 residential units, circulation, parking, and landscaping
constructed on 17.69 acres within the Desert Willow Golf Resort, and an off-site parking
location in close proximity.
In addition to the land use approvals for the Project, a Revised and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) is also under consideration. The DDA is revised to address
changes in the Project scope and outlines salient points for the Project, including the timing
of Project improvements, financial support for a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
reimbursement, use of bond funds for public improvements, and sale of property from the
Successor Agency to Desert Wave Ventures, LLC.
Background Analysis
A. Property Description:
The Project site is approximately 17.69 acres, located on the west side of Desert Willow
Drive, north of Country Club Drive, and south of the Desert Willow Clubhouse. The lot is
irregularly shaped and is bounded by the Desert Willow golf course on the west, south,
and east of the proposed Project. The existing Desert Willow Clubhouse parking lot
borders the northern property line. Approximately three (3) acres at the northeast corner
of the site are developed with parking lot improvements for the Desert Willow Clubhouse,
and the remaining 14 acres of the site were mass graded as part of the Desert Willow
development but remain undeveloped.

Project Description
The amendment to the DSRT SURF SP includes operation functions and development
standard changes; however, the land use allowances remain as originally approved. The
Project as amended is a single-phased Project including a surf lagoon and surf center facility
(including support facilities), a four-story 92-room hotel, and 83 residential units including villas
and stacked flats (ownership units), a perimeter roadway, landscape, and infrastructure
improvements within Desert Willow on the 17.69-acre site. The land uses in the proposed
Project are within the allowances approved in the DSRT SURF Specific Plan on November 14,
2019. The Project includes the subdivision of the site into five (5) parcels for its respective
uses. The Project also incorporates an off-site parking location (Lot E) near the Project site
to provide valet services to the hotel and facilities.
Specific Plan:
The proposed amendments to the DSRT SURF Specific Plan are detailed below:
Land Uses
The SP amendment consolidates the uses previously established in two (2) phases into a
single Project with no proposals to change the density and intensity of the land uses as
approved by the original DSRT SURF SP. Table 1 (Land Uses) shows the combined land
uses as proposed in the amendment:
TABLE 1
DSRT SURF SPECIFIC PLAN
LAND USES
Land Use Max/Min Allowed
Surf Lagoon Max 6 acres
Surf Center Max 35,000 SF
Hotel(s) Max 350 rooms
Villas 15 units per acre/88 villas max.
Villa Clubhouse Max 3,125 SF
Maintenance and Equipment Buildings Max 15,000 SF
Landscaping/OS/Pool /Recreational Space Minimum 20% Planning Area
Table 1 shows the land uses with the maximum allowed intensities, none of which are higher
than the originally approved DSRT SURF Specific Plan. For example, the surf center has
removed the breakdown of the ancillary uses and combined the square footages as a
maximum. In addition, the land use for landscaping/Open Space (OS)/Pool/Recreational
Space previously included 25 percent per planning area, which have been amended to 20

Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 5 of 21
percent overall. The reduction of the landscape requirement is due to the reconfiguration of
the site plan, which places residential units at the perimeter of the lagoon. The proposed
landscaping requirement from 25 percent to 20 percent is acceptable since it does not
decrease the aesthetics nor increase water usage.
The Site Program and Recreational Amenities of the approved SP included an event lawn
and art gallery, which no longer are proposed. Alternately, the replacements include a kids’
play area, pump track, pickleball, and flex space. Since these replacements promote
recreational uses, it is deemed compatible with the DSRT SURF Specific Plan.
Other modifications to the SP include the surf lagoon’s hours of operation related to music
events and surf lagoon capacity. The original SP allowed outdoor music events Friday
through Sunday to end at midnight and indoor music events to end at 2:00 a.m. The proposed
revision allows music events seven (7) days a week and the hours of operation remaining as
approved. This revision does not change the originally approved allowance of 12 special
events per year. The surf lagoon capacity is proposed to reduce from an average of 75
occupants to 70 occupants (maximum) and continue to accommodate 95 surfers for special
events as originally proposed.
In addition, the circulation of this Project has also changed since the gates and guard access
to the residential areas have been removed; therefore, all internal roads are accessible to the
public.
Development Standards
The Specific Plan amendment proposes changes to the originally approved development
standard see Pages 14 to 16 of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan amendment. Table 2 shows
the proposed development standards as compared to the development standards of the
underlying zoning district.

Table 2 shows the Project in a single area, combining the two (2) Planning Areas originally
approved. The maximum density continues as 15 dwelling units per acre (du/acre), providing
a maximum of 88 residential units as originally approved and a maximum hotel room capacity
of 350 rooms. The amendment to the revised height requirement allows buildings to exceed
the 50-foot building height maximum originally approved to include 10 additional feet in height,
specifically for architectural features related to parapets, towers, and similar elements. Also,
where required, allows 15 feet in height allowance above the 50 feet for roof stairwells and
elevators. All elements increasing above the 50-foot height maximum should incorporate
proper architectural screening.
In addition, the revision to the SP includes setback standards as shown in Table 2 for the
newly proposed residential type described as Stack Flats condominiums for the front, side,
rear, street, and golf course setback requirements.
The originally approved Design Guidelines for building architecture, landscape, lighting, and
signage that primarily focuses on the “Desert Mid-Century Modern,” sustainable building
materials, and desert plant materials and inert materials remain unchanged.

The amendment to the SP allows the hotel to include podium parking at the second level,
completely screened by the building’s architectural features. The parking located on this site
will include a shared parking agreement; therefore, it is not restricted to a certain use. In
addition, Lot E is an off-site location for overflow parking including, approximately 2.74 acres
of vacant land located at the southeast corner of Desert Willow Drive and Market Place Drive.
This off-site parking location is anticipated to have 288 parking spaces. The Project includes
Lot E, a City-owned property adjacent to the Ralph’s shopping center, approximately ½ mile
south of the Project site. The applicant will be required to enter into a parking management

plan with the City for off-site parking locations and implement valet service to the site. Once
improved, a portion of the parking area is intended to remain as public parking.
In addition, the City Council approved an incentive to reduce the total number of parking
spaces required for the Project at the approval of the originally approved DSRT SURF SP.
No further parking reductions have been requested as part of this amendment.
Landscaping
The amendment to the SP removed references to phasing the installation of the landscaping
since it will be constructed as a single phase. All landscape is to remain as low to medium
water usage desert landscape including the proposed residential housing types will be
required to maintain a compatible landscape.
Turf Reduction Program
The Turf Reduction Program encompasses the removal of over one (1) million square feet of
turf within the Desert Willow Golf Courses (Firecliff and Mountain View courses) and requires
replacing it with drought-tolerant planting materials (desert landscaping) and low water usage
irrigation systems in the efforts to offset water demand for the proposed Project. In 2019, a
Water Supply Assessment (WSA) was prepared to analyze the project-specific water
demands and potential impacts on the local and regional water supply. The variables for the
analysis considered the highest intensive land uses including, the 5.5-acre surf lagoon, surf
center and amenities, 350-room hotel and 88 residential units, on-site pools/spas, and
landscaping. The WSA resulted in a gross water demand of 165.21 acre-feet per year (AFY)
and net water demand of 58.46 AFY, total savings of 106.75 with the turf removal and

replacement of desert landscaping. In 2021, with the consideration of this application, the
Project variables changed to include a 5.5-acre surf lagoon, surf center and amenities, a 92-
room hotel and 83 residential units, on-site pools/spas, and landscaping. The WSA for the
buildout of this change in uses resulted in a gross water demand of 114.35 acre-feet per year
(AFY) and net water demand of 7.6 AFY after accounting for the turf removal and
replacement. In perspective, the “7.6 AFY is equivalent to the annual water demands of 58
residential units.” (See Attachment 5).
Precise Plan:
The PP provides a detailed site plan, building architecture, and landscaping plan for the entire
Project, inclusive of a surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, residential units, and all support facilities.
The total building lot coverage is 19.9 percent of the Project site.
Here are the Project’s proposed land uses in relation to the proposed heights to be
constructed.

A. Land Use Compatibility:
The DSRT SURF SP, as proposed, is consistent with the goals and policies of the Palm
Desert General Plan, including that the Project provides a unique resort destination and
sports facility consistent with the intent of the Resort and Entertainment District. The
General Plan land use designation of Resort and Entertainment District allows
development for entertainment and resort destination uses, drawing visitors to the site.
The amendment to the SP includes operational function changes and revisions to the
development standards, none of which increases the density or intensity of the Project.
The compatibility of the General Plan established in the original approval of the Project
remains unchanged.
B. Zoning Conformity:
A specific plan is required to be consistent with the General Plan pursuant to California
Government Code Section 65454 and PDMC Section 25.78.080 (Specific Plans). The
approved DSRT SURF SP has been previously analyzed and determined that the Project
was consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The DSRT SURF SP has
land use allowances inclusive of a maximum of a six-acre lagoon, 35,000-square-foot surf
center, 350 rooms for a hotel, 88 residential units, a clubhouse of 3,125 square feet, and
15,000 square feet for maintenance and equipment buildings. The amendment to the SP
includes height maximums of 50 feet for buildings and an additional 15 feet to
accommodate architectural features and related roof equipment and apparatus. The
Project includes a 5.5-acre lagoon, a 7,263-square-foot surf center (26 feet in height), a
4-story, 92-room hotel (55 feet in height), 83 residential units (ranging from 26 feet and 6
inches to 37 feet and 9 inches), 1,494-square-foot clubhouse (24 feet 6 inches in height),
and 4,909 square feet of maintenance buildings (15 feet in height). The land uses and
heights specified above are all within the allowances of the SP. The building lot coverage
maximum is 50 percent; the Project site proposes 19.9 percent, which is within the
required allowance. The setback requirements for the commercial component and
residential components meet the minimum setback requirements of the SP. The Desert
Mid-Century Modern architecture theme is continuous throughout the site with varying
architectural elements and high-quality materials including, the incorporation of indoor and
outdoor spaces that meets the architecture characteristics required by the DSRT SURF
SP. The on-site parking including, the podium parking within the hotel and integrated
garages for the residential units, provides for the 443 required parking spaces. In addition,
Lot E will be improved to include approximately 288 parking spaces, which will have valet
services to the Project. The Project proposes all landscape remain as low water usage
desert landscaping for the entirety of the Project including, the perimeter. The Project uses
conforms to all the requirements of the SP and all other applicable requirements as
conditioned.
C. CEQA:
The City determined that this Project was subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The City further determined that an Addendum to the 2019 DSRT SURF
Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR, SCH No. 2019011044) should be prepared,
consistent with the requirements of CEQA. The Addendum has been prepared to evaluate
the potential environmental impacts of amending the DSRT SURF SP, TTM, DDA, and
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 15 of 21
buildout of the revised DSRT SURF Project. In accordance with the CEQA, the Addendum
analyzes the proposed Project amendments and demonstrates that all potential
environmental impacts associated with the Project at buildout would be within the
envelope of impacts already evaluated in the approved EIR, including both on-site and
off-site impacts (such as stormwater drainage consistent with the Desert Willow Master
Plan, which provides for drainage to golf course waste areas; and the construction of an
off-site parking lot).
In 2019, the City certified the DSRT SURF SP EIR that analyzed the development of the
DSRT SURF Project (2019 Project). The 2019 Project would result in the development of
a surf lagoon of up to six (6) acres in size, a surf center to include a restaurant, bar, retail,
and similar facilities, up to 350 hotel rooms, and up to 88 resort residential villas on the
17.69-acre site. The Project was to be implemented in two (2) planning areas: the Surf
Lagoon Planning Area (PA 1, 11.85 acres), and the Hotel and Villas Planning Area (PA
2, 5.84 acres). Planning Area 1 would be constructed first and include the development
of the surf center and pie-shaped surf lagoon, which included a wave machine located in
the central pier of the lagoon and in the mechanical building at the southeastern portion
of the site. The Hotels and Villas Planning Area (PA 2) would be developed in phase 2
and result in the construction of the hotel(s) and villas on approximately 5.84 acres.
The current revised Project proposes amendments to the 2019 DSRT SURF SP, PP, and
TTM to accommodate modifications to the hotel, surf center facilities, and villas.
Amendments to the DDA are also proposed, consistent with the revised Project. The SP
amendment will not change the overall land use approvals for the site, which included 350
hotel rooms, 88 villas, a surf center, a surf lagoon, and ancillary facilities, including
parking, recreation, and mechanical/service areas. The amended PP will result in the
development of the entire site, consisting of a 92 key hotel, surf center, a 5.5-acre surf
lagoon, 33 private villas, and 50 stacked flat residential units, as well as ancillary facilities
to support these uses.
Based on the evaluation of information provided in this EIR Addendum, no new significant
impacts would occur as a result of the proposed Project, nor would there be any
substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified adverse environmental
impacts. Therefore, none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA
Guidelines has occurred. For this reason, an EIR addendum is the appropriate document
to comply with CEQA requirements for the proposed Project.
Revised and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA):
The DDA is an agreement between the City and Desert Wave Ventures, LLC. It outlines
business terms and timing for Project improvements, as well as real estate terms for when
the City/SARDA will sell the land to the developer. Below is a breakdown of the land sale,
business terms, and the City’s participation in a TOT reimbursement and use of bond funds
for public improvements.
A. Land Transaction
In 2019, the City Council approved the DSRT SURF Project: a world-class, first-of-its-kind
destination surfing lagoon and resort complex be built within the Desert Willow Golf Resort
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 16 of 21
area (DWGR). However, the developer, Desert Wave Ventures, LLC (Developer) is
proposing several changes to the Project as described above. In order to accommodate
the changes to the development new terms for the land sales are outlined in the Revised
and Restated DDA. As part of the DDA several land agreements between the Developer,
the City, and its Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) are included.
On February 2, 2018, the City executed an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with the
Developer to explore Parcels B and C within DWGR. SARDA Oversight Board and the
State Department of Finance approved the SARDA land sale in July of 2018. A Purchase
Option Agreement (POA) was executed by and between SARDA and the Developer on
August 15, 2018, for Parcel B. Concurrently, the Developer determined that additional
land would be needed to accommodate the full build-out of the proposed resort. Therefore,
the City entered into a POA with the Developer for two parcels that currently
accommodate DWGR overflow parking. The three parcels are described as follows:
· APN 620-420-023 - Owner: SARDA - 14.65 acres - $2,050,000 (“Parcel B” herein)
· APN 620-420-024; -400-008 – Owner: City – 3.03 acres - $455,000 (“Overflow lot”)
Terms of the POAs require the developer to fulfill a series of obligations prior to close of
escrow. Extension options are available. The terms described in more detail below include
securing full entitlements and execution of the DDA. The DDA will supplant the City’s POA
and become the controlling document for the transfer of land of the City-owned parcels,
while the SARDA POA will control the final transfer of SARDA land. In addition, the
Developer will be required to complete a number of additional agreements, including
those attached to-form and listed below.
B. Incentives & Business Terms
DSRT SURF resort is a first-of-its-kind facility that combines upper-upscale or luxury
resort amenities and luxury for-sale villas all alongside a five-acre wave lagoon and surf
center. City staff relies on third-party consultant reports to review development pro formas
provided by the Developer and to conduct gap analysis based on those projections. The
consultant, Keyser Marston Associates (KMA), reviews developer-provided costs,
revenues, operating expenses, compares them with market expectations, and offers a
projected gap based on a snapshot of the development at a given moment in time.
Development Costs
KMA reviewed a scope of the Project proposed by the developer with a total development
cost projected at $218,772,000, an increase of $27,772.000 from the original Project
approvals in 2019. Multiple factors have contributed to this number, including hard and
soft costs, cost of financing, and market expectations of return. As a result, these numbers
are subject to external market forces that may change over time. The Project costs
reviewed include the hotel and villa development ($147,259,000) and surf lagoon
($71,513,000).
Revenues are to be generated from multiple sources, including surf destination ticket
sales, hotel revenues, and villa sales. Using a Return on Cost methodology and using the
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 17 of 21
total development costs across all phases of the Project described herein, KMA’s project
feasibility gap projection is:
Feasibility Gap Projections
Surf Destination $11.4M
Hotel & Villa Gap $24.8M
Total Feasibility Gap $36.1M
It should be noted that the hotel and villa gap is a blended analysis, which includes the
returns generated on the sale of the villas. The actual gap of the hotel alone is slightly
higher than what is shown in the pro forma gap feasibility analysis.
Proposed City Sources
Acquisition of Public Improvements $20.0M
TOT Performance Based Rebate $16.1M
Total Feasibility Gap $36.1M
The proposed source of funds to acquire the public improvements are City bond proceeds
for Project Area 2 (PA2); therefore, will not impact General Fund dollars. Disbursement of
City funds is described in the attached DDA and controlled by various milestones that
disburse funds in $2-5M increments based on those milestones. The final $2M payment
will be accompanied by the execution of the Acquisition Agreement attached here as-to-
form and requires a “look-back” by the City to ensure total project costs are not less than
those estimated in the analysis. In the case that the total project costs are less than
estimated, the Developer will reimburse the City an amount equal to the difference
between $185M and total project costs.
The revenues for TOT are performance-based rebate dollars, paid out of TOT proceeds
first paid to the City upon start of the operation, and then rebated back to the owner at the
proposed amounts:
· 40% of Hotel Revenue
· 60% of Villa Room Contributions to Hotel
In no case shall the TOT shared rebate exceed the TOT amount described herein. By
structuring the TOT rebate in this way, it is anticipated that the City will receive 100% of
TOT sooner than it would otherwise at a full 50% rebate.
Projected Revenues
KMA projected total City revenues using the model described throughout this report. TOT
revenues are calculated over 20 years at the current Project size and scope. If the Project
changes, TOT revenues may need to be adjusted. TOT revenues projections are prior to
any rebate to be paid to the Developer. Sales tax is calculated based on the proposed
restaurant sizes and use market-based data for like-kind facilities in other areas. Property
taxes are the City’s share of property taxes. Based on this analysis, total City revenues
generated over 20-years are:
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 18 of 21
TOT $39.M
Sales Tax $2.3M
Property Tax $1.3M
Total Revenue $42.6M
Other business terms are included in the attached DDA. In addition to the DDA, there are
other controlling agreements to the DDA and referenced with the DDA. Staff will present
the agreements to the City Council that are by law or ordinance required to be reviewed
and approved by the Council. However, staff recommends the Council provide
authorization to the City Manager to execute those agreements that do not require Council
approval and that accompany the DDA, which may include the following:
· Acquisition Agreement (for the acquisition of public improvements).
· TOT Agreement (for TOT performance-based rebate).
· Maintenance and Use Agreement (controlling agreement for various public works
and improvements).
· Project Impact Fee Development Agreement (describing assessed project impact
fees).
· Various access and construction easements.
· Other agreements as needed.
Public Improvements & Benefits
As described above, bond proceeds are used to acquire additional public improvements.
These improvements, totaling approximately $20M, are outlined in the Acquisition
Agreement and include:
· 150 parking structure stalls for Surf Center and Desert Willow public parking.
· 96 on-site surface parking stalls for the surf center and Desert Willow public parking.
· 226 surface public parking stalls to meet obligations outlined in the mitigation
requirements outlined in the EIR.
Multiple public benefits justify the participation of City bond funds, including the following:
· Increased jobs and economic growth both at DWGR and Citywide.
· Enhanced TOT, sales and use tax, and property tax.
· Additional entertainment and leisure activities for the citizens and visitors.
· Growth of tourism and associated spending.
· For participating residents, increased health benefits of a sports facility.
· Impact fees and other associated fees to support City services.
Staff recommends the City Council endorse these public benefits during its deliberations.
In addition to the public benefits described above, the public was notified of this meeting
in conformance with “AB 562” reporting requirements (State Code, Section 53083). AB
562 reporting requirements are for projects that receive more than $100,000 in economic
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 19 of 21
development subsidy, and future annual reporting requirements will be administered by
staff.
Fiscal Impact
Sources:
The proposed source of funds to acquire the public improvements are City bond proceeds
for PA2; therefore, do not have impact General Fund dollars. These bonds were issued
specifically for PA2 (DWGR) economic development activities and are one-time use only.
This will deplete the fund balance for PA2.
TOT tax revenues are incremental revenues and rebated on a performance basis only.
Rebate is only made available if TOT is paid to the City. There is no impact to the General
Fund other than a decreased amount of TOT for the term of the TOT agreement.
Following full funding of the authorized amount, the City will receive 100% of hotel and
villa revenue operations.
Projected Revenues
TOT $39.M
Sales Tax $2.3M
Property Tax $1.3M
Total Revenue $42.6M
KMA projected these revenues using the model described throughout this report. TOT
revenues are over 20 years at the current scope and size. If the Project changes, TOT
revenues may need to be adjusted. TOT revenues projections are prior to any rebate to
be paid to the Developer. Sales tax is calculated based on the proposed restaurant sizes
and use market-based data for like-kind facilities in other areas. Property taxes are the
City’s share of property taxes. Total revenues in actual dollars are estimated at $42.6M to
the City’s General Fund over the next 20 years, and revenue projections are subject to
changes in general economic forces.
Public Input
City staff has received several letters of support from local entities and the public. Letters of
support were received from Patrick Klein, Board President; Paula Simonds, CEO of the
Family YMCA of the Desert; and from David Hilts, Founder of Coachella Valley Surf Club. A
letter of support was also received from a member of the public at large. Copies of the letters
received are provided as part of this staff report.
Conclusion
The DSRT SURF SP amendment is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Resort and
Entertainment District. The Project proposes a high-quality Desert Mid-Century Modern
architectural style building, desert landscaping combined with beach themes for this unique
resort development inclusive of a 5.5-acre surf lagoon, a 92 key hotel, surf center, 83
residential units, as well as ancillary facilities to support these uses. The proposed land uses,
January 27, 2022 - Staff Report
Case Nos. Amendment No. 1 to SP 18-0002 /PP 18-0009/TTM 37639 & DDA: DSRT SURF
Page 20 of 21
site design, architecture, and landscaping that is within the allowances and in conformance
with the Specific Plan. The resort development, maintenance, or operation of the Project does
not appear to have any adverse effects that are detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements within the Desert Willow Golf Resort or the general welfare of the City.
Therefore, the overall Project and the requirements imposed on this Project meet the goals
and policies of the General Plan.
The DDA has been revised to address changes in the Project scope and size. In consideration
of the Project, the DDA outlines the following:
· Timing of land sales from the City to the developer.
· City’s participation in TOT rebates and bond proceeds for public improvements.
· Disbursement of bond proceeds based on the developer’s obligation.
· A “look-back” to ensure Project costs and not less than estimated.
· Schedule of Performance for the developer.
The changes to provide certainty for both the developer and City and City participation in the
Project is justified through the Project feasibility gap detailed in this report.
Environmental Review
For the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Director of
Development Services has determined that the Project proposal requires consideration of an
EIR. An EIR has been prepared and is summarized as part of this report. Staff is recommending
that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the Project, certify the EIR, and adopt a
Statement of Overriding Consideration.

CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
2
WHEREAS, the City Council has not received any comments or additional
information that constituted substantial new information requiring recirculation or additional
environmental review under Public Resources Code Sections 21166 and 21092.1 and State
CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5; and
WHEREAS, at the said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council did
find the following facts and reasons to exist to justify the approval of said request:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby finds that the foregoing recitals are
true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. State CEQA
Guidelines section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an addendum to a previously
certified EIR if some changes or additions to the Project are necessary, but none of the
conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are present. The City Council has
reviewed and considered the 2019 EIR and the 2021 Addendum and finds that these
documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the potential
environmental impacts associated with the DSRT SURF Project. The City Council further
finds that the 2021 Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State
CEQA Guidelines. The City Council further finds and determines that the Addendum reflects
the City’s independent judgment.
SECTION 3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but
not limited to the 2019 EIR and the 2021 Addendum, the City Council finds that an addendum
is an appropriate document for disclosing the changes to the DSRT SURF Project and that
none of the conditions identified in Public Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA
Guidelines section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred, because:
1. The amended DSRT SURF Project does not constitute a substantial change that
would require major revisions of the 2019 EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects.
2. There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under which
the DSRT SURF Project will be developed that would require major revisions of the
2019 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
3. New information of substantial importance has not been presented that was not
known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the 2019 EIR was certified or adopted, showing any of the following: (i) that
the modifications would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously
examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier
environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
3
previously found not to be feasible would, in fact, be feasible and would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to
adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably
different from those analyzed previously would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt.
SECTION 4. The City Council readopt those mitigation measures identified in the 2019
EIR applicable to the DSRT SURF Project and as detailed specifically in the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) prepared for the EIR.
SECTION 6. The 2019 EIR and the 2021 Addendum, and any other documents and
materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which these findings have been
based are on file and available for public review at Palm Desert City Hall, 73510 Fred Waring
Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260. The custodian of these records is Norma I Alley, the City
Clerk of the City.
SECTION 7. Findings for Recommended Approval of Specific Plan.
1. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan, as proposed, is consistent with the goals and
policies of the Palm Desert General Plan, including that the Project provides a
unique resort destination and sports facility consistent with the intent of the
Resort and Entertainment District. On November 14, 2019, the City Council
approved DSRT SURF Specific Plan (SP 18-0002) by Resolution 2019-82
governing the land uses, development standards, and design guidelines for the
site and determining that the specific plan demonstrated compatibility of the
applicable goals, policies, and programs contained in the General Plan. The
General Plan land use designation of Resort and Entertainment District allows
development for entertainment and resort destination uses, drawing visitors to
the site. The amendment to the specific plan includes operational function
changes and revisions to the development standards, none of which increases
the density or intensity of the Project. The compatibility of the General Plan
established in the original approval of the Project remains unchanged.
2. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan is not detrimental to the health, safety, or general
welfare or will be materially injurious to the surrounding properties or
improvements in the City of Palm Desert. The amendment to the DSRT SURF
Specific Plan is suitable and appropriate for the location, access, and topography
for development because the intent of Desert Willow is to provide resort-style
development. The site has been previously mass graded and identified for future
resort-style development, all infrastructure to support the Project is nearby, and
improvements to infrastructure to support the Project are feasible, and access to
the site has been studied and is deemed sufficient to support the Project.
3. The amendments to the DSRT SURF Specific Plan are compatible with the
zoning of adjacent properties and ensures the development of desirable
character is harmonious with surrounding properties because the intent of Desert
Willow is to provide a resort-style development. The Project was approved with a
density of 15 dwelling units per acre (maximum 88 residential units), the
amendment to the DSRT SURF Specific Plan does not change the density nor
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
4
the intensity of the Project. In fact, the construction of the Project will only contain
83 residential units, which is under the maximum allowed. In addition, the
approved specific plan allows for a 350-room hotel, and the Project will construct
only a 92-room hotel. The new structures incorporate compatible and integrated
architecture, materials and colors, and are not visually obstructive or
disharmonious with surrounding areas or harm major views from adjacent
properties. The grading design would not result in any manufactured slopes or
pads that create any significant adverse visual or compatibility impacts with
adjacent lots, nor block any significant views. The Project is supported by
adequate public facilities and transportation systems and is a compatible use,
type, and intensity with the surrounding areas.
SECTION 8. Findings for Recommended Approval of Tentative Map.
1. That the density of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general
and specific plans.
The amendment to the Project is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Palm Desert General Plan (“General Plan”). The General Plan
land use designation is Resort and Entertain District that allows development for
entertainment and resort destination uses, drawing visitors to the site. General
Plan Land Use Policy 4.1 encourages unique resort complexes within the city.
The Project is a resort destination attraction of a surf lagoon with residential
ownership units that complement the Project. The subdivision includes 17.69
acres into five (5) parcels, each to accommodate its respective uses, including
the surf lagoon, hotel and surf center, stack flats including the clubhouse, and
villas that are consistent with the General Plan.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans.
The amendment to the Project and its design and improvements are consistent
with the General Plan and comply with the development standards of the Specific
Plan. In addition, the lots accommodate the building pads, internal and external
streets, drainage, utilities, and adequate access from Desert Willow.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site is physically suitable for the type of development for the Project. The
Project is a resort development that is physically suitable for the site and is
consistent with the intent of the specific plan and compatible with the surrounding
uses, which include a golf course, amenities as well as existing resort-style
residential units. The Project site is a 17.69-acre site; the parcel is adequate to
accommodate the 5.5-acre surf lagoon, surf center and facilities, hotel, and
residential units with adequate access and roadways, infrastructure, utilities, and
drainage facilities.
4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
5
The site is physically suitable for the density allowance of 15 units per acre as
specified in the DSRT SURF Specific Plan resulting in 88 residential units. The
Project amendments include 83 units which are less than the maximum density
and comply with the applicable development standards of the specific plan
making it suitable for the site.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The amended design of the subdivision or the improvements contemplated for
the Project are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The certified
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), SCH# 2019011044, addresses the
environmental impacts associated with the Project, including those impacts that
could cause substantial environmental damage. There are no known fish, wildlife
habitats, or other endangered species on the subject site. No environmental
impacts are identified which substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or
their habitat.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The amended design of the subdivision or type of improvements for the Project
are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The conditions of approval
ensure all common area structures, landscaping, sidewalks, parking lot surfacing,
and all other improvements within the Project must be continually maintained in
good condition and repair, all dead or dying landscape material must be replaced
with new landscape material, and a security construction plan must be submitted.
Compliance with these conditions will prevent the subdivision and its
improvements from causing any public health problems for those that enter the
development. Storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, streets, and all utilities are
available to the site and have the capacity to accommodate the Project. The
subdivision has been designed so the parcels have the necessary infrastructure
to adequately serve the development, and all uses as allowed by the zoning
ordinances that regulate the Project.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of,
property within the planned subdivision.
The amended design or type of improvements will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within
the subdivision. Public utilities for electricity, water, sewer, telecommunications,
and gas service have all been assessed for availability. The access points to the
Project have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and Public
Works as part of the overall Project includes easements for roadways, drainage
facilities, and utilities that will be recorded in the final map. There are no known
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
6
public easements traversing the subject site that would be adversely affected by
the Project.
SECTION 9. Findings for Recommended Approval of Design Review (Palm Desert
Municipal Code Section 25.68.040.
1. That the proposed development conforms to any legally adopted development
standards.
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan has land use allowances inclusive of a maximum
of the six-acre lagoon, 35,000 square feet surf center, 350 rooms for a hotel, 88
residential units, a clubhouse of 3,125 square feet, and 15,000 square feet for
maintenance and equipment buildings. The amendment to the DSRT SURF
Specific Plan includes height maximums of 50 feet for buildings and an additional
15 feet to accommodate architectural features and related roof equipment and
apparatus. The Project includes a 5.5-acre lagoon, a 7,263-square-foot surf
center (26 feet in height), a four-story, 92-room hotel (55 feet in height), 83
residential units (ranging from 26 feet and 6 inches to 37 feet and 9 inches),
1,494-square-foot clubhouse (24 feet 6 inches in height), and 4,909 square feet
of maintenance buildings (15 feet in height). The land uses and heights specified
above are all within the allowances of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The
building lot coverage maximum is 50 percent; the project site proposes 19.9
percent, which is within the required allowance. The setback requirements for the
commercial component and residential components meet the minimum setback
requirements of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The Desert Mid-Century Modern
architecture theme is continuous throughout the site with varying architectural
elements and high-quality materials, including the incorporation of indoor and
outdoor spaces that meets the architecture characteristics required by the DSRT
SURF Specific Plan. The on-site parking, including the podium parking within the
hotel and integrated garages for the residential units, provides for the 443
required parking spaces. In addition, Lot E will be improved to include
approximately 288 parking spaces, which will have valet services to the Project.
The Project proposes all landscape remain as low water usage desert
landscaping for the entirety of the Project, including the perimeter. The Project
uses conforms to all the requirements of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan and all
other applicable requirements as conditioned.
2. That the design and location of the proposed development and its relationship to
neighboring existing or proposed developments and traffic is such that it will not
impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood; and that it
will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or proposed developments and that it will not create traffic hazards or
congestion.
The amended Project has been designed as a destination point, including a surf
lagoon, surf center and amenities, hotel, and residential units, which are
compatible uses within a resort development. The proposed Project is located
within the Desert Willow Golf Resort, which features a mix of resort development
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
7
and existing residential units, including a mixture of timeshares and multifamily
units. The Project includes a DSRT SURF Specific Plan, which regulates land
uses and provides development standards to ensure there is continuity of
architectural style and regulation of density and heights of buildings; therefore,
does not impair the desirability of investment. The Environmental Impact Report
for the Project provided a Traffic Impact Analysis that reviewed the traffic impact,
including circulation, traffic hazards, and congestion of the uses and operation of
the site, which resulted in mitigation measures less than significant. No
environmental or traffic concerns were identified that would indicate that
development in this area would be unsuitable. The Project has also implemented
a condition of approval for a parking management plan and improvements to an
offsite parking location within proximity to the site to respond to overflow parking
needs.
3. That the design and location of the proposed development are in keeping with
the character of the surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the
harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by this title and
the General Plan of the City.
The design and location of the amended Project is in keeping with the character
of the surrounding neighborhood and will serve as an additional attraction to the
existing resort development. The Project consists of approximately 18-acres
within an undeveloped area, with connectivity to the Desert Willow Clubhouse
that is adjoining the Project site. The property is designated Resort and
Entertainment in the General Plan, which allows development for a range of
entertainment and resort destination uses for the purpose of drawing visitors to
the site, such as theme parks and sports facilities. The Project includes the high-
quality architectural style, amenities, and more importantly, offers unique
opportunities for residential resort lifestyle and entertainment destinations
inclusive of a surf lagoon and hotel, which will attract visitors and investors to the
City.
4. That the design and location of the proposed development would provide a
desirable environment for its occupants, as well as for its neighbors, and that it is
aesthetically of good composition, materials, textures, and colors.
The design is a Desert Mid-Century Modern architectural theme, with sustainable
building materials incorporating the natural environment and mid-century styles.
The architectural elements include horizontal and vertical planes, varying
rooflines, shading elements, intuitive and organic wayfinding designs, natural
materials, and blurring lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design
utilizes high-quality finishes and materials, including natural elements that
provide shade and create shadow lines, such as building projections, covered
walkways, arcades, and other human-scale elements to reduce the impact of
building mass and create visual interest. The Project includes wave structures at
the entry point to create a sense of arrival. The enclosure of courtyards and
balconies are visually permeable where appropriate and step back on upper
floors is utilized to further reduce the visual impact of building mass and
maximize view corridors and viewsheds of the mountain. The Project site
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
8
includes the thoughtful creation of public gathering space to encourage
interaction between guests and residents is achieved by both passive and
intentional design. Landscaping utilizes functional seating design elements
throughout the site by the use of low-rise block and/or stone walls that serve to
define landscaped areas while also providing casual seating throughout the
property. Open lawn and sandy beach areas in proximity to the lagoon and pools
to encourage guests to create gathering space, reminiscent of an authentic
beach experience. More intentional components of the Project include
restaurants and bars, cabanas, lounge chairs, fire pits, and recreational activity
space. The combination of designed gathering throughout the site and amenities
creating intentional spaces promotes a destination resort atmosphere envisioned
for the Project.
5. That the proposed use conforms to all the requirements of the zone in which it is
located and all other applicable requirements.
The Project uses conforms to all the requirements of the DSRT SURF Specific
Plan and all other applicable requirements. The Project use considers the need
for dedication and improvement of necessary streets and sidewalks, including the
avoidance of traffic congestion, and is designed considering topographical and
drainage conditions, including the need for dedication and improvements of
necessary structures as a part thereof. The Project’s environmental assessment
and reviews of City departments and outside city agencies have included
appropriate mitigation measures and conditions of approval.
6. That the overall development of the land shall be designed to ensure the
protection of public health, safety, and general welfare.
The overall development of the land is designed to ensure Project is consistent
with the General Plan and as analyzed in the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The
establishment, maintenance, or operation of the Project does not appear to have
any adverse effects that are detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements within the Desert Willow Golf Resort or the general welfare of the
City. Therefore, the overall building design and the requirements imposed
ensures the protection of public health, safety, and general welfare.

I.INTRODUCTION
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan provides the vision for a
recreational and resort development that is authentic to the
surrounding desert environment while evoking natural surf
environments from around the world. The landscape,
architecture, and design will celebrate the blending of natural
and man-made elements to create a unique destination surf
experience on the beach and in the water. The resort
atmosphere and added amenities such as restaurants, bars,
and outdoor activities make DSRT SURF the perfect desert
escape.
"If you're having a bad day, catch a wave."
Frosty Hesson
A. Authority and Scope
A Specific Plan is a document allowed under California law which provides cities and
counties with a planning tool for master planning project sites. A Specific Plan, when
approved, becomes the zoning ordinance for the project area it covers. The Specific
Plan is intended to ensure quality development consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Palm Desert General Plan.
The Specific Plan guides the standard of development for the DSRT SURF plan area and
is structured to provide a degree of flexibility for future land developers to address market
driven changes if necessary. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan establishes and updates the
Renderings updated throughout
document
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
2
design and development zoning policies applicable to development within the planning
area described herein. This Specific Plan also establishes the regulations and standards
which serve as the ordinance and development regulation for the planning area going
forward.
i. Enabling Legislation
The authority to adopt and implement the DSRT SURF Specific Plan is granted to the City
of Palm Desert by the provisions of California Government Code Section 65450 et seq.
As with General Plans, the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing before it can
recommend to City Council the adoption of a Specific Plan or an amendment thereto.
The City of Palm Desert may adopt a Specific Plan and/or an amendment to the Specific
Plan by either ordinance or resolution. (Palm Desert Zoning Code Chapter 25.78 Decisions
by the City Council).
B. Project Location
The Project consists of three Assessor’s Parcels: 620-420-023, 620-400-024 and -620-400-008.
The Project is located on the west side of Desert Willow Drive, north of Country Club Drive
in the City of Palm Desert, Riverside County, California (See Exhibit 1: Regional Location
Map and Exhibit 2: Vicinity Map). The irregularly shaped site is bounded by golf course on
its west, south and east sides, the Westin Resort Villas on its southwest corner, and by the
Desert Willow Clubhouse parking lot on the north. (See Exhibits 3: Project Location Map).
C. Site Background
The City of Palm Desert constructed the Desert Willow Golf Resort in 1997-1998. At the
time, it consisted of two 18-hole golf courses and remainder parcels planned for a wide
range of resort and residential development on a total of 515± acres. Development within
the Project has been governed by the North Sphere Specific Plan, which established
multiple planning areas within the Project area. Multiple planning areas have developed,
including the hotels and restaurants located at the southwest corner of Frank Sinatra
Drive and Cook Street; condominium units on the west side of the golf course and east
of Portola Avenue; and resort residential projects in the southern half of the Project area.
Four vacant development pads remain today, centered around Desert Willow Drive and
generally located east and south of the existing clubhouse. The DSRT SURF planning area
generally occurs within Planning Area 10 of the North Sphere Specific Plan.

D. Existing Conditions
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan area consists of irregular shaped lots totaling 17.69 acres. The
land is partially developed with the Desert Willow Golf Resort clubhouse parking lots in its
northwest corner, on approximately 3 acres. The balance of the site (approximately 14.7
acres), is vacant, desert land, bounded by the existing golf course.
The proposed Specific Plan area is designated as “Resort & Entertainment District” on the
City’s General Plan Land Use Map, which allows for various types of lodging, retail,
commercial services, recreational facilities, along with specialized entertainment with a
commercial floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.10, and multi-family residential land uses of
up to 10 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). According to the General Plan (2016), the
purpose of this District is “to provide for a range of entertainment and resort destination
uses that require large amounts of land and that draw visitors to the City such as theme
parks, hotels, and sports facilities.”
The City’s Zoning Map currently designates the Specific Plan area as “Planned Residential
(PR).” Commercial recreation and hotel land uses are allowed in the PR zone only with
the issuance of a conditional use permit when not directly related to a permitted
residential development. With regard to hotels in the PR zone, the maximum density must
be approved by the Planning Commission or Council (Zoning Code Chapter 25.10
Residential Districts).

the City. A shuttle service will be provided during special events to transport visitors to
and from offsite parking to the Surf Center.
Lagoon Maintenance
The surf lagoon will require daily cleaning and may require one annual full-drain for
maintenance purposes. In the event of a maintenance emergency, the lagoon will be
drained as necessary and heavy equipment may be required to repair damage and/or
replace equipment.
F. CEQA Compliance
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City identified
the preparation of this Specific Plan as a “Project” under CEQA and prepared an Initial
Study. The Initial Study found that the Specific Plan had a potential to significantly impact
the environment, and that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared. The
City circulated to all responsible and trustee agencies a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of
an EIR. All comments received in response to the NOP were considered and incorporated
into the EIR. The EIR was circulated to all responsible and trustee agencies, and all other
interested parties, for a period of 45 days. All comments received in response to the EIR
were considered in the Response to Comments prepared for the Planning Commission
and City Council. The City Council certified the EIR prior to adopting this Specific Plan, on
X X, 2021.
1 Holidays/Holiday periods include the week of Christmas, week of New Years, Martin Luther King Day,
Presidential holidays, Memorial Day, Labor Day, the week of Thanksgiving, and Spring Breaks (March 1-

H.Parking Standards
Primary parking for the hotel and surf center guests will be provided in the hotel’s parking
garage, located on the first and second floors of the hotel, and in surface parking
adjacent to these buildings. Employee parking will be located at the south end of the
site by the maintenance and service areas. Through mutual agreement with the City of
Palm Desert, 130 parking spaces will be shared with the Desert Willow golf clubhouse. In
the event the parking garage reaches full capacity, the hotel shall have a parking plan
in place that may include a combination of an on-site valet and off-site shuttle service
to and from the overflow parking lot. Off-street parking for the villas shall be provided
immediately adjacent to the proposed buildings or in an adjoining structure, such as a
garage or carport. Additional street parking is located throughout the planning area and
is not restricted to any particular use.
Parking and loading spaces, including off-site parking for special events, shall be
designed in conformance with Section 25.46.030.D of the Palm Desert Zoning Ordinance,
with the following exceptions:
•Tandem parking is permitted for villa areas, however, no more than two tandem
spaces are allowed with one access to a drive aisle.
•Tandem parking is permitted in parking structures; however, a valet service must be
required at all times the use is open for business, and the valet parking area is
accessible only by the valet service.
The following table provides parking standards for the entire Specific Plan area.
Added/Revised: Hotel now has an above ground parking garage (2nd level). Added discussion on parking

I.Circulation and Emergency Access
Vehicular connectivity within the project will be from a perimeter Promenade with two
public access points on Desert Willow Drive. The driveway furthest north will be the primary
entrance for the hotel and surf center. The Promenade also provides emergency access
to the entire site, with a third gated emergency access point located at the western
corner of the site that connects to Willow Ridge Road.
Internal circulation will primarily be designed for pedestrians with the exception of
emergency lifeguard vehicles, which will have access to the Lagoon area and
boardwalk for emergencies and maintenance vehicles for transporting equipment and
daily upkeep of the lagoon and surrounding area. Guests and residents are encouraged
to leave their vehicles parked and instead use pedestrian walkways, bicycles or golf carts
to move around the site.

Circulation plans for the Project shall adhere to the design guidelines set forth in this
Specific Plan. Street improvements, including curbs, gutters, paving and sidewalks, shall
adhere to requirements and development standards set forth in Zoning Code Chapter
25.10.B.13, which states:
“Required Width of Private Roads. With no parking, the private roads shall
be 20 feet wide. With parking on one side, 32 feet wide. With parking on
two sides, 40 feet wide. The roadways shall be a minimum of asphaltic
concrete with concrete curbs and gutters as approved by the Director.
Standards of design and construction of roadways, both public and
private, within the project may be modified as is deemed appropriate by
the City, especially where it is found that the development plan provides
for the separation of vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns and
provides for adequate off-street parking facilities.”

III. DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. Architecture
All buildings constructed onsite shall maintain a consistent
character carried out by quality materials and design that are
evocative of the surf resort theme proposed within this Specific
Plan. Architecture must embrace and incorporate authentic
materials, curated in a way that is not overly designed - such
as a natural weathered look found in genuine surf
environments. It is encouraged that building design features be
multi-functional, including shade structures that change with
the season and creative seating designs that are integrated
into the landscape and building features.
Building design shall be unique to the site in that the configuration shall take advantage
of and preserve the surrounding vistas while integrating into the existing character of the
surrounding Desert Willow property. Various architectural characteristics include:
• Blending artificial and natural elements for functional purposes (shade, seating,
etc.) to integrate into the environment;
• Embrace and integrate the beach into the desert, think dunes to surf;
• Encourage intuitive and organic wayfinding designs;
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
18
• Consider irregular roof lines that encourage unique designs with added
functionality for shade and place-making;
• Incorporate dynamic and seasonal shading strategies for exterior occupied
space;
• Encourage the use of eco-friendly materials that have been recycled and
upcycled reminiscent of the natural and relaxed feeling of the property.
i. Architectural Themes
DSRT SURF reflects the natural environment and the Desert Modern theme, which blends
contemporary and Mid-Century styles. Buildings must have clean lines, play off horizontal
and vertical planes, and incorporate natural materials.
Desert Mid-Century Modern
Desert Mid-Century Modern is an architectural style characterized by clean simplicity with
the intention of blurring the lines between indoor space and outdoor living. This blending
with nature is achieved by emphasizing the use of windows and open floor plans when
designing indoor spaces.
What makes “Desert Mid-Century Modern” unique is the opportunity to design buildings
tailored to the warm California climate by incorporating passive cooling techniques, such
as the use of open breezeways, ample glazing, angular construction, light facades, and
outdoor living space. Simple post-and-beam steel-framed buildings are often used due
to the material’s resilience in the harsh desert climate, which also promotes a sleek
modern design.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
20
While in accordance with the prevailing architectural theme, arrival points and building
entrances must receive special treatments consistent with the materials discussed in this
document. Generous use of desert landscaping, natural materials, and interesting
monument signage assist in the creation of a distinctive sense of place that will be carried
out throughout the Project.
Architectural elements that provide shade and create shadow lines, such as building
projections, covered walkways, arcades, and other human scale openings shall be
included to reduce the impact of building mass and create visual interest. The means of
enclosure to courtyards and balconies shall be visually permeable where appropriate
and the stepping back of upper floors should also be utilized to further reduce the visual
impact of building mass and maximize view corridors and viewsheds of the mountain
vistas. It is also common to see rooflines echoing the surrounding mountains with “butterfly
roofs,” or “V roofs,” which are characterized by an inversion of a standard form roof, with
two roof structures sloping down from opposing edges towards a middle point of the roof.
Preserving and Enhancing Viewsheds
The Specific Plan area enjoys views of the surrounding San Bernardino and San Jacinto
mountain ranges. As building heights within the Specific Plan generally exceed those
previously existing in the surrounding area, it is essential that architectural elements and
building components be varied to reduce the overall perception of mass, resulting in
graduated frontages that allow generous view corridors. A particularly distinctive
viewshed will be created by the opening of the arrival plaza between the surf center and
the hotel. Views from the arrival plaza looking southeast between the two buildings shall
be unobstructed to the greatest extent possible to preserve the viewshed of the surf
lagoon against the dramatic mountain backdrop.
Creating Gathering Space
One of the overarching goals of this Specific Plan is the thoughtful creation of public
gathering space to encourage friendly interactions between guests. This playful co-
mingling is achieved by both passive and intentional design. Landscaping will be utilized
as a functional seating design element throughout the site by encouraging the use of
low-rise block and/or stone walls that serve to define landscaped areas while also
providing casual seating throughout the property. Open lawn and sandy beach areas
will be strategically placed throughout the property in proximity to the lagoon and pools
to encourage guests to create their own hangout space, which is reminiscent of an
authentic beach experience. Other Project components that provide intentional
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
21
hangout space include restaurants and bars, cabanas, lounge chairs, fire pits, and
recreational activity space. The combination of designed gathering points and freeform
hangout space promotes a destination resort atmosphere envisioned for the Project.
Sustainable Building and Energy Efficiency
Conservation and sustainability are common values amongst the surf community and
encouraged throughout the DSRT SURF Project. Green building techniques and design
principles should be implemented throughout DSRT SURF. DSRT SURF structures shall utilize
passive design principles that are unique to the site and thus minimize the consumption
of energy and maximize user comfort as much as is practicable. Roof overhangs,
supplemental shading, strategic glazing ratios, building orientation and daylighting shall
be considered in concert. Materials shall be chosen for resiliency as much as for
aesthetics. Interior spaces shall be designed to be an extension of the outside and not
require conditioning where (and when) practicable.
Passive solar design has been implemented in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley for
a number of years, through the use of shade structures and building orientation. Passive
solar design should be part of building design to the greatest extent possible through
deep recesses for balconies which shield building interiors; window placement on
exposed wall faces; and use of structures and trees to shade public or private open
spaces, and limit heat sink effects. As technology continues to expand and improve, solar
energy can be harnessed to lower the energy demand of the Project. Active solar panel
design should also be considered throughout the Project.
The surf lagoon wave machine technology is designed to perform at the highest level
and as efficiently as possible. In terms of performance, the system runs at an efficiency
level of 92%, thus using the energy at the most efficient levels to generate waves within
the lagoon. The versatility of the technology permits the number of waves to be adapted
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
22
to the number of surfers at any given time. In this way, the fixed consumption of the
installation is reduced to a minimum, and electricity consumption has a direct correlation
to wave generation without unnecessary energy waste. DSRT SURF also promotes the use
of products and materials that have a positive economic, social and environmental
impact and focuses on minimizing the energy involved in extracting, processing,
transporting, maintaining and disposing of materials associated with construction of the
machinery.
The landscaping palette for DSRT SURF is designed to minimize the use of water for
irrigation through the installation of highly efficient irrigation systems, plant-specific
emitters, and using drought tolerant desert landscaping.
Recycling of materials within DSRT SURF should be made as simple and accessible as
possible. Although centralized solid waste disposal is likely throughout the Project, each
building should be designed to make the recycling of materials easy and convenient. If
trash chutes or centralized sorting areas are designed in buildings, they must include a
recycling component.
Finally, open spaces within the Project will include furnishings and finishes which should to
the greatest extent possible be made of sustainable and/or recycled materials. A broad
range of products are now available, with more being introduced every year, which
reuse materials in their construction.
ii. Building Heights and Mass
The Specific Plan allows for development where careful attention to appropriate building
height, scale and massing will be essential to creating space and enhancing the surf
resort experience. The majority of the planning area will be pedestrian oriented, and all
buildings should be sensitively designed to the human scale with active, pedestrian
friendly frontages and pathways.
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan allows for a maximum building height of 50 feet without
articulation. Elements such as awnings, balconies, roof overhangs, or trellises that
protrude from the building elevations are encouraged to provide a unique design and
additional shade. The following exhibits provide architectural inspiration for the hotel and
villas, and should be considered during the precise planning process.

iii. Building and Design Materials
The DSRT SURF architectural style is defined by an authentic and organic palette of
complementary materials and finishes. While consistent with the broader theme, it is
essential that materials, colors and finishes are appropriate to the architectural style of
individual buildings. Intense sunshine is a prevailing feature of the desert environment and
textured surface finishes on which interesting shadow effects can be achieved will
contribute much to distinctive local character.
The following materials are encouraged in building design:
• Weathered tropical hardwoods such as ipe for pathways and walls;
• Ocotillo branch screens and trellises to provide shade with natural materials and
interesting textures;
• Stacked stone for walls, fencing, and seating;
• Sand finished concrete for pathways to create a beachy texture;
• Wood siding commonly used for coastal buildings;
• Painted steel, rusting steel, and metal roofs will naturally weather creating an
authentic look.

B. Pathways and Wayfinding
The streetscape and wayfinding concepts are intended to unify the surf center, lagoon,
hotel and residential uses in a cohesive manner. The goal of the internal pathway theme
is to encourage organic wayfinding designs with natural materials juxtaposed with
artificial materials (such as boardwalks, sand, grass, and concrete) to suggest organic
circulation. Haphazard path directions promote the feel of natural wayfinding consistent
with natural beach environments. Examples of creative wayfinding include:
• A mix of pathway materials, such as concrete, boardwalks, sand, and grass;
• Playful pathway directions that avoid 90-degree angles;
• Interesting wayfinding signage using natural and/or weathered materials;
C. Landscaping
The landscape design character at DSRT SURF will project the relaxed surfing beach
character of Baja California, where the desert meets the ocean. At DSRT SURF, the use
of rustic stone, wooden boardwalks, and casual arrangements of desert compatible
plants creates a setting for guests to unwind and engage with the dynamic surfing
lagoon.
Another goal of the landscape is to complement the character of the landscape at
Desert Willow, with an emphasis on desert compatible plant species. The plant species
selected at the perimeter of the Project will be species that are currently being grown in
the adjacent landscape areas at Desert Willow. The goal is to have DSRT SURF fold
seamlessly into the overall landscape character of Desert Willow. The perimeter
landscaping will subtly provide screening between DSRT SURF and the golf course, while
maintaining views outward to the San Jacinto Mountains. The perimeter landscaping will
also use wind tolerant plantings to buffer the Project from the northwesterly winds and
mitigate the potential for wind-blown sand.
The landscape at DSRT SURF has been designed to celebrate the bold forms, textures,
and blooms of succulents and cacti that are adapted to the climate of the Coachella
Valley. Varied plant species have been selected and placed to create organic
compositions that display the unique colors, textures and forms of novel and memorable
plant species.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
28
i. Conceptual Landscape Plan Zones
The landscape for DSRT SURF has been broken down into four conceptual landscape
plan zones.
ZONE 1: PERIMETER LANDSCAPE
The perimeter landscape will be comprised of evergreen trees and shrubs that are either
native or native adaptive. Plants that are currently growing in adjacent landscaped
areas at Desert Willow will be incorporated into the plant palette. Plants will have dense
evergreen foliage to create a vegetative windbreak or to screen selective views into and
outward from the site. Evergreen groundcover plants and angular crushed gravel will be
placed to assist in bank stabilization and to reduce wind-blown sand.
ZONE 2: PROJECT ENTRY
The landscape at the Project entry at Desert Willow Drive will have Fan Palms that provide
vertical punctuation to create a sense of arrival and assist with wayfinding. A landscaped
median will include additional Fan Palms that will be held back from the intersection so
that views of on-coming traffic are not blocked. Project signage will be incorporated into
the entry landscape along with LED low voltage up-lights on the palm trees and entry
sign.
ZONE 3: LAGOON BEACH
The zone between the lagoon, hotel and villas is referred to as the ‘Lagoon Beach’.
Meandering pathways make their way around the pool and gathering spaces to
concrete stairs and an accessible ramp to access the beach level. The concrete paving
will have a sand finish to provide the needed slip resistance and ‘sand beach’ character.
To strengthen the beach character of the landscape, tropical hardwood decking is inlaid
flush into the pavement to suggest beach boardwalks. Cabanas, day beds and chaise
lounges line the sand beaches invoking the destination resort feel. Crushed gravel will
cover the planting areas to reduce potential blown sand.
Previous image of Landscaping Zones removed due to out dated
mapping. Text has been amended as necessary per revised site
plan. Same desert landscaping concepts proposed.
Removed "Arrival Plazas" Zone, not relevant to revised site plan.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
29
Located at the Lagoon Beach zone are pools and spas with lounging areas and day
beds creating a relaxing, laid back environment. Palms and accent trees are organically
interspersed throughout the beach zone to add to the Baja California landscape
concept. Most of the trees at the Lagoon Beach will be small textured, evergreen trees
located to provide the maximum afternoon shade. The trees will be desert compatible,
with minimal litter or pollen production. A variety of tree sizes will be planted to offer
varied tree heights and tree ages. Desert shrubs and succulents will have bold textures,
colorful blooms, and a variety of foliage colors; variegated, blue-green, or olive-green
colors. Shrubs with spines or thorns will be set back from the edge of walkways.
ZONE 4: VILLAS, STACKED FLATS, AND CLUBHOUSE
The landscape character at the villa and stacked flats sites will have a more intimate,
residential scale as compared with the other landscape zones. Large canopy, small
textured evergreen trees are located to shade the parking stalls and the pedestrian
walkways from the afternoon sun. Shrubs and accent plants will display a variety of
colorful foliage and flowers. Pedestrian paving will be a sand finished concrete that will
complement the native stone and gravel and provide slip resistance. Residents will have
access to a private clubhouse and swimming pool and spa overlooking the lagoon. From
the pool deck are stair and ramp pathways leading to the lagoon boardwalk. Common
areas include a large lawn space for gatherings and events, recreational areas, cabanas
and lounge space. Palm trees are limited to the pool/spa patios and clubhouse common
areas. Landscaped areas adjacent to villas may be landscaped with turf block,
decomposed granite, or similar material to be used for additional parking, seating areas,
and other gathering spaces.
Last sentence added regarding landscaped areas
adjacent to villas and potential uses.

ii. Landscape Palette
a) Plants
Plant material has been selected using WUCOLS water use calculations with preference
given to low water use plants. Plant material native to tropical regions on the planet have
been excluded due to their irrigation requirements and the ‘tropical’ character of their
foliage. Given the surfing, swimming focus of this Project, plants and trees that produce
excessive leaf, flower, seed and pollen litter that could end up in a water filtration system
are to be avoided.
Trees
Entry Plaza tree species were selected for their upright, vertical form that will assist visitors
with wayfinding. The trees will be placed to frame views of the mountains and of the
lagoon.
Parking Area trees will be evergreen and tolerant of seasonal winds and provide shade
to parking stalls and pedestrian walkways. The placement of trees will avoid casting
shade onto the photo voltaic panels on the parking lot canopies.
Promenade trees will have an informal alignment and spacing. Their locations will be
selected to buffer views both into and out from the site. The varieties will be evergreen
and wind tolerant.
Lagoon Beach tree species will include both evergreen shade trees and clusters of Palms.
The shade trees will have small textured evergreen foliage and will produce minimal litter.
They are placed in informal groves with varied tree heights at time of planting.
Perimeter Landscape tree species have been chosen to complement or mimic the golf
course landscaping. They will be evergreen, tolerant of seasonal winds and provide
judicious screening as required. They will be placed in informal, natural appearing groves
comprised of a variety of heights.
Exhibit 9 provides a visual list of tree species representative of the palette envisioned for
the Project. Material list removed, however names/images are still provided, Stand alone
exhibits for Accents removed, however text description and embedded images
remain. Discussion of "Groundcover" removed.

Shrubs
The shrub species have been selected for their ability to tolerate wind and afternoon
heat. Shrubs that are sensitive to afternoon heat have been placed in shaded north or
east facing exposures. Wind tolerant shrubs have been used to create vegetative
windbreaks along the perimeter of the Project. In areas of greater visibility, plants have
been selected for their variety of foliage colors and forms. At the lagoon beach, shrubs
have been chosen for their cleanliness and compatibility with hardscape surfaces.
Exhibit 10 provides a visual list of shrub species representative of the palette envisioned
for the Project.
Accent Plants
Accent plants will comprise heat and drought tolerant succulents and cacti. Accent
plants will be primarily located in high traffic areas of the Project. Preference has been
given to plants with bold sculptural form, large texture and dramatic blooms. Spineless
varieties of cacti have been incorporated into the palette. Any accent plant with sharp
spines or thorns will be kept away from walking paths.

iii. Irrigation
The irrigation system will be computer controlled and extremely water efficient. The
irrigation controller will communicate with a weather station so that the frequency and
duration of the irrigation will be adjusted to hourly changes in the weather. The irrigation
layout will be zoned to isolate landscapes with similar sun exposures and plant
communities. All shrub beds will be irrigated by drip irrigation emitters and trees will be
irrigated on zones separate from the shrubs. The water use calculations for this system will
be prepared and submitted per CVWD irrigation design requirements.
iv. Public Space Furniture
The furniture selected for DSRT SURF will be durable and user friendly. Benches will include
benches with and without backs. The furniture seating surfaces will be either tropical
hardwood or aluminum chosen for its high durability and low heat retention. Movable
chairs and tables, incorporated into areas adjacent to food and beverage service, will
allow guests to customize the furniture arrangements. Casual seating is encouraged on
eighteen-inch-high seat walls and stone boulders located throughout the Lagoon Beach.
Customized canvas shade sails are located adjacent to architecture or screen walls to
create areas of shade at high volume use areas. Trash receptacles will be durable
stainless steel and easy to service. Bicycle racks will be located at prominent access
points and will be made of tubular stainless steel.
v. Stone
Native stone boulders will be placed strategically within the planting beds to provide a
native landscape character and to assist in soil retention. Some boulders are located to
provide casual seating for guests. The boulders will be sized between two and six feet
across. The landscape beds will be covered in either round river cobble or angular
crushed rock. This will provide additional texture to the landscape and assist in limiting
blowing sand. Native stone will also be used in retaining walls and 18-inch-high seat walls.
The stone will be either dry set, mortar set, or used in a gabion wall retention system.
Exhibits 11 and 12 provide a visual list of furniture, stone, fencing, and shade structures
representative of the palette envisioned for the Project.

vi. Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting will include tree and shrub up lights, path lights, and step lights. All
lighting will be low voltage and have low maintenance LED fixtures. The selective use of
up lights will limit their numbers to only high-profile specimen tree and shrubs. The lights
will be angled to reduce glare and hot spots. The goal is to showcase the lighted element
and not the light source.
D. Signage
To ensure a cohesive overall Project design, the entire planning area will be subjected to
these same signage program standards and guidelines. Materials will be consistent with
the overall Project material palette and in keeping with the desert modern theme
established in this Specific Plan. The overall intent of this section is to describe signage
that appears consistent with the materiality of the Project and will weather over time.
All signage will be located in a manner that provides optimal efficacy of the overall
signage program balancing the need for identification and wayfinding while maintaining
a discreetly curated sense of place. Care shall be exercised to minimize the overuse of
signage and thus reduce visual clutter around the Project.
All Project signage will comply with the local building code and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and will be approved by the City. Signage will comply with the
City’s Zoning Code, Chapter 25.56 and building code pertaining to clearances and sizes,
except where provided below. Typography shall be coordinated across the entire
Project.
Creative design in signage is encouraged. Variations to the standards and materials
provided below can be permitted with approval of the Community Development
Director. Corporate logos and typestyles are permitted within the parameters set forth
below.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
38
i. Project Identity and Monument Signage
a) Location
Project Identity Monument Signage will be located at the primary entrance at Desert
Willow Drive in the separated median, or immediately adjacent to the separated
median. Signage at the secondary drive onto Desert Willow Drive shall be treated as
Project Wayfinding Signage thus ensuring the majority of vehicular traffic enters the
Project off the primary entrance at Desert Willow Drive’s roundabout.
b) Materials
Monument signs shall be constructed in stone or weathering steel or a combination
thereof. Narrative content shall be cast or carved into the primary material or shall be
additive in the form of individual cast letters on stand-offs or shall be subtracted (e.g. laser
cut) from a weathering steel plate placed over the primary material. Stone walls with
signage shall be reserved for Project identity signage or principal Project component
signage (e.g. The Surf Center, Hotel identity, Villa identity) and shall be grand in scale.
c) Sizing
Primary narrative content, either positive or negative shall be a minimum of 9” and a
maximum of 24” and secondary narrative content shall be no larger than 60% of the
height of the primary content. The overall size of the Project monument signage shall be
no taller than 7’ measured from adjacent grade and shall be no wider than a maximum
proportion of 2.5 times the height.
ii. Project Wayfinding Signage
Project wayfinding signage is an opportunity to reinforce the overall cohesion of the
Project across all phases and programs.
a) Location
Wayfinding signage shall be located at all major transitions between Project programs
(e.g. Surf Lagoon, Hotel, Surf Center, Villas) and minor Project programs (e.g. Restrooms,
changing areas, pools, etc.) Wayfinding signage shall be pole or building mounted and
Rammed earth removed, other minor modifications made -
overall theme remains.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
39
narrative content shall be placed within 3’ and 5’ elevation above adjacent grade so
that the content is easily read by standing pedestrians. Wayfinding signage shall be
placed adjacent to traffic areas in landscaped areas such that it is readily visible.
However, care shall be taken to avoid obstructing primary view corridors of the Lagoon
or other Project amenities.
b) Materials
Project wayfinding signage will evoke the beach style created by the architecture, and
provide information at different scales. Primary wayfinding information (e.g. directions or
simplified descriptors for program) can be reduced to simple graphics or letters that are
cut into the plate/post. Secondary wayfinding information may be printed on a
contrasting element mounted to the primary surface or may be etched into the surface.
iii. Primary Building Signage
a) Location
Primary building signage shall be located at, or proximate to, the primary public entrance
to the building in question.
Some images updated.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
40
b) Materials
Primary building signage shall be of the same or similar materials as the Project identity
signage.
c) Sizing
Primary narrative content, either positive or negative shall be a minimum of 9” and a
maximum of 24” and secondary narrative content shall be no larger than 60% of the
height of the primary content. Primary building signage may be graphically incorporated
into the building skin provided the building skin is a natural material (e.g. rammed earth,
natural wood siding, stone, etc.). Graphically incorporated signage shall not be limited
in size.
Narrative content that is subtracted from other materials in the “field” from which it is
subtracted shall be no taller than 3’ and no wider than a maximum proportion of 2.5
times the height.
The overall size of the Primary Building Signage shall not be limited.
iv. Retail Signage
a) Location
Retail Signage shall be mounted directly to buildings in the form of letters on standoffs or
directly applied rather than integrated into a complete sign. This allows the building
façade material to read behind the sign. Blade signs may be considered. Plate or sheet
material may be considered if the narrative content is subtracted from the sign and the
building façade material is the relief.
b) Materials
Retail signage shall be of natural materials consistent with this section or painted black,
grey or white.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
41
v. Signage Lighting
Cast surfaces or additive content shall be face illuminated from concealed sources.
Laser or otherwise cut narrative content shall be illuminated from behind the material
from which the content was subtracted.
Wayfinding signage shall be illuminated internally, or by concealed illumination, or by
general building illumination if available.
vi. Signage Approval Process
Signage program(s) shall be approved by the Architectural Commission. Signage
program(s) can be submitted with Precise Plan applications, or subsequent to Precise
Plan applications.
E. Walls and Fences
DSRT SURF is being developed as a unified, single Project. Perimeter walls between the
surf lagoon, hotel and villas are prohibited. Screen walls are to be limited to only those
required for privacy or to block views into service areas, loading docks and similar back
of house facilities.
Surf Lagoon
Fencing surround the lagoon will be installed if necessary, to satisfy the current pool fence
code requirements. Gates that satisfy the current pool fence code requirements will be
located at each entry point to the surf lagoon/beach area. There will be a minimum 4-
inch on-center spacing for the rails or cables for security purposes. There are locations
where a building, structure, or wall will provide the required security in lieu of the fence.
The fence will occur between any gaps between these structures. A minimum 4-foot
clear zone between the top or bottom riser of a staircase and the fence gates is required
to address ADA accessibility code.
Walls shall be permitted at the ground level only to screen loading dock facilities, pool
and lagoon maintenance equipment, and trash enclosures. Walls shall not be allowed
to exceed 6 feet in height, as measured from finished grade. Walls shall be constructed
of split faced block, precision block, wood, stucco or stone.
Gate not currently proposed,language added regarding gate
requirements as necessary.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
42
Wrought iron fencing, decorative block/rock walls or tubular steel fencing no higher than
3-feet in height shall be permitted to enclose outdoor use areas, such as restaurant
terraces and lounge areas.
Within the parking garage and service areas, chain link fencing shall be permitted to
enclose equipment or storage areas only. The chain link fencing shall not exceed 6-feet
in height.
Hotel and Villas
Adjacent to hotel, walls shall be permitted at the ground level only to screen loading
dock facilities. Walls shall not be allowed to exceed 6 feet in height, as measured from
finished grade. Walls shall be constructed of split faced block, precision block, stucco or
stone. No other material shall be permitted. Wrought iron fencing, decorative block/rock
walls or tubular steel fencing no higher than 3 feet in height shall be permitted to enclose
outdoor use areas, such as restaurant terraces and lounge areas. Fences and gates that
satisfy the current pool fence code requirements will be located at each entry point to
the surf lagoon/beach area. There will be a minimum 4-inch on-center spacing for the
stainless-steel cables for security purposes. No chain link fencing shall be permitted at or
above ground level in any part of the hotel development.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
43
Within the parking garage and service areas, chain link fencing shall be permitted to
enclose equipment or storage areas only. The chain link fencing shall not exceed 6-feet
in height.
Adjacent to residential/villa development, walls and fences shall be permitted at the
ground level to screen entryways and courtyards. Walls and fences adjacent to a street
may not exceed 6-feet in height, as measured from finished grade. Walls and fences on
the interior of a building, adjacent to common area open space may not have a visual
obstruction that exceed 3 feet in height as measured from finished grade. Glass may be
permitted above the 3-foot height threshold, but combined height shall not exceed 6
and a half feet. Walls and fences may be constructed of wrought iron, tubular steel, glass,
split face block, precision block, stone, stucco, wood, or decorative metal siding (non-
reflective). No chain link fencing shall be permitted at or above ground level.
F. Lighting
Lighting will be used for landscaping, pathways and stairways, monuments and signs,
and security. With the exception of the surf lagoon, all developments within the Specific
Plan area are subject to the outdoor lighting requirements set forth in Chapter 24.16 of
the Palm Desert Municipal Code. Requirements include architectural outdoor lighting,
public street lighting, light trespass standards, holiday exceptions, and time of operation.
The following images are example fixtures proposed for the planning area.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
44
Surf Lagoon Lighting Standards
Lighting for the surf lagoon will require both in ground lighting (flush with the lagoon
bottom), lighting in the lagoon side walls, as well as stadium-like lighting above ground
to ensure all portions of the lagoon are properly lit for night surfing. The following lighting
standards have been developed specific to the surf lagoon to ensure minimal light and
glare spillage onto surrounding properties, while optimizing surfer safety.
Technology: LED technology positioned in a manner that focuses light directly onto the
lagoon to prevent excess light and glare spillage onto neighboring land uses.
Light Pole Height: 80 feet maximum.
Hours of Operation – Pole Lighting: In Summer (May 15-September 30), pole lighting will
be permitted from dusk until 12 AM 7 days a week. In Winter/Spring (November 1-May
14), pole lighting will be permitted from dusk until 10 PM on weekdays, and until 12 AM
on weekends, Holidays and during special events. For safety purposes, lighting within the
lagoon will be required after hours until dawn. Pole lighting will be permitted in the early
hours of operation (6-7am) in the event that natural lighting conditions are inadequate
for surfer safety.
A lighting plan will be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of building permits to
ensure swimmer/surfer safety and that light trespass onto neighboring land uses is
minimized.

IV. INFRASTRUCTURE
The DSRT SURF Project occurs in an area of Palm Desert which
is fully developed. As such, most infrastructure, including
roadways, water, sewer, and utilities, are in place in the area.
It is expected that with implementation of the Specific Plan, the
majority of existing trunk lines will remain with minor relocations,
and on-site extensions will occur to service individual
development components throughout the site. A detailed
description of all existing and proposed infrastructure for the
Project is provided below.
A. Roadways
Primary Project entrance ingress and egress will occur at the northeast corner of the site
from the existing Desert Willow Drive roundabout. A secondary driveway will be provided
approximately 240 feet southeast of the primary access point but will only be used for
guest egress and emergency access. Primary vehicular circulation within the Specific
Plan area will be from a perimeter roadway or “Promenade” that connects both Planning
Areas. The Promenade right of way will range from 24 to 30 feet wide with a single lane
of traffic in each direction. Parking will be provided in designated driveways (villas),
parking lots and/or structures within the appropriate Planning Area. On-street parking will
not be permitted. Two emergency access points will be provided; one from the
secondary driveway located southeast of the site entrance, and one gated access point
from the neighboring Desert Willow Westin Villas property to the west via Willow Ridge
Drive.
B. Drainage and Flood Control
Storm runoff generated on-site is designed to be conveyed to the adjacent South Golf
Course via an underground storm drain piping system in a similar manner to the systems
employed by existing adjacent resort developments. The Project will connect to existing
24-inch storm drain lines and proposed underground systems to outlet on-site runoff to
the adjacent golf course consistent with the existing South Golf Course Runoff
Management Plan. Disposal of accumulated water will take place by infiltration, assisted
by the installation of drywells.
The surf lagoon will require regular cleaning and maintenance resulting in the need to
dispose of lagoon water. Lagoon water will be drained in a similar fashion to stormwater,
in that it will be directed to the adjacent South Golf Course via an underground storm
drain piping system. Stormwater and lagoon water will be discharged into an existing
lake on the golf course that is currently used for stormwater retention and landscape
irrigation. Stormwater infiltration will be assisted by the installation of drywells.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
46
C. Public Utilities
The infrastructure that will serve the development is described below and is designed to
provide a coordinated system of infrastructure and public services to adequately serve
the plan area at full build out. The infrastructure and utilities plan identify standards
relative to land use for the plan area and establishes the infrastructure and public service
policies.
i. Sewer
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley Water District
(CWVD) for sewer and wastewater service. Portions of the project at lower elevations will
connect via gravity flow to existing 8-inch sewer lines located within Willow Ridge Drive
to the west. The remainder of the project at higher elevation will gravity flow to an existing
12-inch sewer line located within Desert Willow Drive to the east. Wastewater will be
conveyed to and treated at CVWD’s wastewater treatment plant WRP-10, which also
generates recycled water that is primarily used for irrigation of golf courses and large
landscaped areas, including the Desert Willow property.
ii. Water
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley Water District
(CVWD) for water service. As shown in Exhibits 17-19, existing 8-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch
water lines are located adjacent to the site in both Desert Willow Drive and Willow Ridge
Drive. An on-site well is proposed for the southeastern portion of the Project site by the
lagoon wave machine infrastructure and will supply water for the lagoon. Alternatively,
the Project could connect to an existing well, located south of the Project site within the
golf course. A Water Supply Assessment will be prepared prior to Project approval to
ensure CVWD has adequate water supply and infrastructure to serve the site.
On-site irrigation will connect to existing 10-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch irrigation lines
adjacent to the property. Fire flow water would be provided from the proposed 8-inch
pipe located in Willow Ridge Drive, and onsite fire hydrants will be provided per Riverside
County Fire Department standards.
Two infrastructure realignments are required in proximity to the Desert Willow Drive
roundabout and Project entrance. These include the realignments of a 20-inch recycled
water line and a 12-inch irrigation line (See Exhibits 17-19).
iii. Other Utilities
The site is served by Southern California Edison (SCE) for electrical services and by
Southern California Gas Company for natural gas. Solid waste and recycling services will
be provided by Burrtec Waste and Recycling. Telecommunication services will be
provided by Frontier Communications and cable television services will be provided by
Spectrum.

VI. APPENDIX A: GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
California Government Code §65450-§65453 permits the adoption and administration of
Specific Plans as an implementation tool for elements contained within the local General
Plan. The City of Palm Desert General Plan provides guidance for long-term growth and
development in the City through comprehensive plans for future development.
Consistency with the General Plan is achieved when the various land uses within the
Specific Plan are compatible with the goals, policies, and general pattern of land uses
contained in the General Plan. Consistency is defined as follows: “An action, program, or
project is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all its aspects, it will further the
objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment.” This
statement from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) describes how a
Specific Plan should be consistent with the General Plan.
The discussion below details the DSRT SURF Specific Plan’s consistency with the goals and
policies that are set forth in the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
2035 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
LAND USE and COMMUNITY CHARACTER
GOAL 1. Quality Spaces. A beautiful city with a balance of high-quality open
spaces and high-quality urban areas.
Policies
1.1 Scale of development. Require new development along the city’s corridors
use design techniques to moderate height and use and ensure compatible
fit with surrounding development.
1.2 Open space preservation. Balance the development of the city with the
provision of open space, and especially the hillsides surrounding the City,
so as to create both high quality urban areas and high quality open space.
1.3 Traffic generation. Balance medium and high intensity/density
development with pedestrian-oriented and bicycle friendly design features
so as to maximize trip and VMT reduction.
1.5 Community Amenities. Balance the impacts of new development, density,
and urbanization through the provision of a high-level of neighborhood and
community amenities and design features.
Consistency
The development of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan (DSSP) will result in improvements the
area’s existing environment. These improvements will be in the form of new sidewalks and
enhanced landscape areas as well as the construction of a recreational resort center on
a currently vacant lot.
Consistency analysis remains the same. Only reference to two
separate planning areas removed/revised to one overall project area
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
52
In addition, the architectural style will be reflective of the desert mid-century modern
aesthetic. The aesthetic character of the DSSP, including architecture, landscaping, walls
and fences, and signage, are described in the design guidelines defined by Chapter III of the
Specific Plan.
The integration of a signature surf theme with related recreational amenities also supports
the goals of the General Plan. The high-quality design attributes of the DSSP, such as
enhanced streetscapes and pedestrian walkways, have the potential to increase
surrounding property values and create positive fiscal impacts in the City.
GOAL 2. Human-Scaled Design. A city designed for people, fostering interaction,
activity, and safety.
Policies
2.3 Landscaping. Require development projects to incorporate high quality
landscaping in order to extend and enhance the green space network of
the city.
2.6 Lighting. Require all new street lights in commercial areas to be pedestrian-
oriented and scaled, attractively designed, compatible in design with other
street furniture, and to provide adequate visibility and security in
accordance with best practices for night sky protection.
2.12 Destination Accessibility. Direct the development of new centers, parks,
schools, and similar destinations so as to provide all residences within town
¼ mile to at least two amenities.
Consistency
The DSSP’s carefully designed landscaped buffers and parkway improvements along
perimeter will blend into the existing Desert Willow landscapes. Landscape treatments,
theme walls, and entry monumentation will visually enhance the currently vacant area.
All lighting within the DSSP, with the exception of the surf lagoon, will be subject to the
City’s Municipal Code to reduce impacts to the night sky. Specific lighting standards
have been developed for the surf lagoon to ensure minimal light spillage onto offsite
properties. Since the DSSP is located within the Desert Willow resort development, resort
guests may access the DSSP amenities and vice versa.
GOAL 4. Districts. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts that provide
space for large-format retail, industrial and resort uses in order to increase access
to jobs, provide amenities for residents, and enhance the fiscal stability of the City.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
53
Policies
4.1 Resorts. Encourage the development of unique resort complexes. Locate
resorts in areas of the city where citywide connectivity will not be negatively
affected by the design of the project.
4.2 Resort design and connectivity. Allow resorts to be designed as isolated
and gated developments as long as through traffic and external
connectivity occurs at distances of no greater than 1,300 feet. Exceptions
to this may be made where external connection is not possible because of
steep slopes, or natural or man-made barriers.
Consistency
The DSSP’s uses will support balanced growth in the area since it adds to the existing Desert
Willow amenities in a unique format by creating surf community in the center of a desert resort
city. Unlike any other resort development, the DSRT SURF Specific Plan area will create a
different resort complex within an existing resort and maintain the overall image of the site.
GOAL 8. Economic Development. A diverse, growing, and resilient local
economy.
Policies
8.1 Long-term economic development. Support the development and
implementation of long-term economic development strategies that seek
to establish and keep new businesses.
8.7 Natural environment. Maintain and enhance the natural environment as
critical to the attraction of tourists and ensure that new development does
not adversely affect the natural environment as a tourist draw.
8.8 Recreational amenities. Strategically utilize City recreational investments to
create and enhance development opportunities.
Consistency
The DSSP contributes to the economic well-being of the City by offering quality
development that will provide a diversity of resort and commercial businesses to the
employment pool.
GOAL 9. Fiscal Stability. A fiscally sound and sustainable city.
Policies
8.1 Fiscal impact assessment. For all major development projects, including but
not limited to specific plans, annexations and changes in General Plan
designations for areas over 5 acres in size, require a fiscal impact

Specific Plan
54
assessment to determine possible fiscal impact of the development project
and use the information to formulate conditions of approval for the project.
8.2 Efficient growth. Manage growth in a manner that is fiscally sustainable and
protects and/or enhances community value.
8.3 Diverse tax base. Guide development and public investments to maintain
a fiscally sound city with a sustainable tax base and user fees including
property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, utilities user tax and user
fees that pay for cost of services.
Consistency
The City has required performance and market feasibility assessments to be prepared for
the DSSP in order to evaluate these impacts to the City. The assessments will also outline
the projected growth of the immediate area as a result of the DSSP. Since the DSSP
proposes a hotel and commercial uses such as restaurants and retail uses taxes from
these services will create a diverse tax base from the implementation of the DSSP.
MOBILITY
GOAL 2. Parking. An actively managed system of public and private parking
facilities that supports future development.
Policies
2.1 Public Parking Facilities. Provide new public parking facilities only after
applying appropriate techniques to manage parking demand and ensure
efficient use of all public and private parking facilities.
2.5 Innovative Parking Approaches. Allow the use of innovative parking supply
and demand strategies such as shared parking, unbundling parking, and
other related items within privately owned parking facilities to allow an
appropriate level of flexibility for these private land owners.
2.6 Formal Parking Evaluations. Perform formal evaluations of parking capacity
on a biannual basis to identify areas where parking is under- or over-utilized.
Consistency
Primary parking for the hotel and surf center will be provided in the hotel parking garage
on the first and second level of the building, and in surface parking adjacent to the
buildings. Parking for the residential component will be provided immediately adjacent
to the corresponding buildings or in an attached garage. Underground or structure
parking is allowed on site. The Parking standards stipulated by the City of Palm Desert
were used in order to design the required parking spaces. Table 4 of the DSSP further
breakdowns the standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
Goal 1. Water Resources. Protected and readily available water resources for
community and environmental use.
Policies
1.1 Water conservation technologies. Promote indoor and outdoor water
conservation and reuse practices including water recycling, grey water re-
use and rainwater harvesting.
1.2 Landscape design. Encourage the reduction of landscaping water
consumption through plant selection and irrigation technology.
1.3 Conservation performance targeted to new construction. Incentivize new
construction to exceed the state’s Green Building Code for water
conservation by an additional 10 percent.
1.4 Greywater. Allow the use of greywater and establish criteria and standards
to permit its safe and effective use (also known as on-site water recycling).
1.5 Waterways as amenities. When considering development applications and
infrastructure improvements, treat waterways as amenities, not hazards,
and encourage designs that embrace the waterways.
Consistency
As stipulated by SB 610 and SB 221 under Water Code Section 10910(a) the DSSP is
required to produce a water supply assessment and water supply verification in order to
document the sufficiency of the CVWD water supply to meet the demand associated
with the proposed land use. CVWD adopted the DSSP WSA in 2019. The DSSP WSA
determined that CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the demands of the Project
for the next 20 years and the anticipated water demand will not substantially deplete
groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge such that there would be
a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level.
The DSSP will also encourage water conservation through techniques such as the use of
low volume irrigation systems and drought-tolerant landscaping. Any water features,
such lagoons or pools, built in the specific plan area will be designed to minimize the use
of excessive amounts of water. In addition, the Project applicant proposes to offset the
lagoon’s water demand by participating in the Golf Course Turf Reduction Plan
developed by the City of Palm Desert that will replace approximately 1,035,325 square
feet of turf with drought-tolerant landscaping
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
56
Goal 6. Energy. An energy efficient community that relies primarily on renewable
and non-polluting energy sources.
Policies
6.1 Passive solar design. Require new buildings to incorporate energy efficient
building and site design strategies for the desert environment that include
appropriate solar orientation, thermal mass, use of natural daylight and
ventilation, and shading. Masquerade
6.2 Alternative energy. Continue to promote the incorporation of alternative
energy generation (e.g., solar, wind, biomass) in public and private
development.
6.3 Energy Efficient Buildings. Encourage new buildings and buildings
undergoing major retrofits to exceed Title 24 energy efficiency standards.
6.11 Energy-efficient infrastructure. Whenever possible, use energy-efficient
models and technology when replacing or providing new city infrastructure
such as streetlights, traffic signals, water conveyance pumps, or other
public infrastructure.
Consistency
A cornerstone of the surf community is conservation and sustainability. In addition to the
solar panel design features included in the surf center, passive solar design such as the
use of shade structures and building orientation will be used throughout the DSSP area.
The DSSP intends to uphold those values by creating structures and spaces that
implement green building techniques and design principles, such as using recycled
building material where appropriate. The surf lagoon wave machine technology is
designed to perform at the highest level and as efficiently as possible. In terms of
performance, the system runs at an efficiency level of 92%, thus using the energy at the
most efficient levels to generate waves within the lagoon.
SAFETY
Goal 3. Flood hazards. A community where flooding and inundation hazard are
contained within areas reserved for open spaces.
Policies
3.1 Flood Risk in New Development. Require all new development to
minimize flood risk with siting and design measures, such as grading
that prevents adverse drainage impacts to adjacent properties, on-
site retention of runoff, and minimization of structures located in
floodplains.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
57
3.2 Flood Infrastructure. Require new development to contribute to
funding regional flood control infrastructure improvements.
3.3 Stormwater Management. Monitor, update, and enforce
stormwater management plans in coordination with regional
agencies, utilities, and other jurisdictions.
3.4 Open Space for Flood Control. Prioritize open space or uses that
serve recreational purposes as a preferred land use within areas of
high flood risk.
Consistency
The DSSP property is located in Zone X, which represents “areas outside of 0.2% annual
chance flood.” (Map No. 06065C1615G) as defined by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Development
of the DSSP will not added structures in an area that is subject to flood risk. The retention
basin planned for the DSSP will be in the form of a lagoon and passive open space.
PUBLIC UTILITIES & SERVICES
Goal 1. Stormwater. Stormwater management system that leads to clean water,
basin recharge and increased water retention.
Policies
1.1 Stormwater infrastructure for new development. Require development
projects pay for their share of new stormwater infrastructure or
improvements necessitated by that development (regional shallow ground
water).
1.2 On-site stormwater retention and infiltration. Whenever possible,
stormwater shall be infiltrated, evapotranspirated, reused or treated onsite
in other ways that improve stormwater quality and reduce flows into the
storm drain system.
1.3 Groundwater infiltration. Encourage the use of above-ground and natural
stormwater facilities in new development and redevelopment, such as
vegetated swales and permeable paving.
1.4 Stormwater re-use and recycling. Encourage innovative ways of capturing
and reusing stormwater for non-drinking purposes to reduce the use of
potable drinking water.

strategies to minimize urban run-off, increase site infiltration, manage
stormwater and recharge groundwater supplies.
1.8 Green infrastructure in public rights-of-way. Encourage green streets with
in-street bio-retention and other forms of stormwater retention and
infiltration in streets and public rights-of-way.
1.10 Stormwater in urban context. Development projects shall incorporate
stormwater management into landscaping, except in downtown
designations where catch basins shall be prohibited.
1.11 Water quality detention basins. Require water detention basins to be
aesthetically pleasing and to serve recreational purposes, such as in the
form of a mini park. Detention basins designed for active uses are intended
to supplement park and open space and should not be counted towards
a developer’s minimum park requirements, unless otherwise determined by
the Planning Commission or City Council.
1.12 Retention Basins. Encourage storm water retention basins, especially in the
City Center Area, to be underground in future development so as to
achieve the most efficient use of land and compact development and
promote the urban character goals of the General Plan.
Consistency
The DSSP will implement the standard requirements for the retention of storm flows and
participates in the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to protect
surface waters from pollution, as well as maintain the City of Palm Desert’s Municipal
Code 8.70.100 (On-Site Stormwater Retention), which requires all new developments to
retain the 100-year storm flow on-site and/or off-site.
Goal 2. Sewer. Sewer management and facility operations that allow for
adequate disposal within the community.
Policies
2.1 Sewer system maintenance. Work with the Coachella Valley Water District
to ensure sewers are operational and in good working order.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan

Valley Water District, and other agencies responsible for supplying water to
the region.
3.3 Water infrastructure. Maintain existing water infrastructure to protect the
supply, quality, and delivery of potable water.
3.4 Water infrastructure for new development. Require development projects
to pay for their share of new water infrastructure or improvements
necessitated by that project.
3.5 Recycled Water. Expanded use of recycled water in existing and new
development.
3.6 Citywide water conservation and efficiency. Encourage and promote
community water conservation and efficiency efforts, including indoor and
outdoor efforts that exceed CalGreen requirements.
Consistency
The DSSP will incorporated the State’s Water demands and conservation measures will
include techniques such as the use of low volume irrigation systems and drought-tolerant
landscaping. The lagoon and added water features that will built in the DSSP area will be
designed to minimize the use of excessive amounts of water. As required by Water Code
Section 10910(f) a Water Supply Assessment was prepared and approved for the DSSP
area to assess the condition of the groundwater basin and a sufficiency analysis of the

I.INTRODUCTION
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan provides the vision for a
recreational and resort development that is authentic to the
surrounding desert environment while evoking natural surf
environments from around the world. The landscape,
architecture, and design will celebrate the blending of natural
and man-made elements to create a unique destination surf
experience on the beach and in the water. The resort
atmosphere and added amenities such as restaurants, bars,
and outdoor activities make DSRT SURF the perfect desert
escape.
"If you're having a bad day, catch a wave."
Frosty Hesson
A. Authority and Scope
A Specific Plan is a document allowed under California law which provides cities and
counties with a planning tool for master planning project sites. A Specific Plan, when
approved, becomes the zoning ordinance for the project area it covers. The Specific
Plan is intended to ensure quality development consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Palm Desert General Plan.
The Specific Plan guides the standard of development for the DSRT SURF plan area and
is structured to provide a degree of flexibility for future land developers to address market
driven changes if necessary. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan establishes and updates the
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
2
design and development zoning policies applicable to development within the planning
area described herein. This Specific Plan also establishes the regulations and standards
which serve as the ordinance and development regulation for the planning area going
forward.
i. Enabling Legislation
The authority to adopt and implement the DSRT SURF Specific Plan is granted to the City
of Palm Desert by the provisions of California Government Code Section 65450 et seq.
As with General Plans, the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing before it can
recommend to City Council the adoption of a Specific Plan or an amendment thereto.
The City of Palm Desert may adopt a Specific Plan and/or an amendment to the Specific
Plan by either ordinance or resolution. (Palm Desert Zoning Code Chapter 25.78 Decisions
by the City Council).
B. Project Location
The Project consists of three Assessor’s Parcels: 620-420-023, 620-400-024 and -620-400-008.
The Project is located on the west side of Desert Willow Drive, north of Country Club Drive
in the City of Palm Desert, Riverside County, California (See Exhibit 1: Regional Location
Map and Exhibit 2: Vicinity Map). The irregularly shaped site is bounded by golf course on
its west, south and east sides, the Westin Resort Villas on its southwest corner, and by the
Desert Willow Clubhouse parking lot on the north. (See Exhibits 3: Project Location Map).
C. Site Background
The City of Palm Desert constructed the Desert Willow Golf Resort in 1997-1998. At the
time, it consisted of two 18-hole golf courses and remainder parcels planned for a wide
range of resort and residential development on a total of 515± acres. Development within
the Project has been governed by the North Sphere Specific Plan, which established
multiple planning areas within the Project area. Multiple planning areas have developed,
including the hotels and restaurants located at the southwest corner of Frank Sinatra
Drive and Cook Street; condominium units on the west side of the golf course and east
of Portola Avenue; and resort residential projects in the southern half of the Project area.
Four vacant development pads remain today, centered around Desert Willow Drive and
generally located east and south of the existing clubhouse. The DSRT SURF planning area
generally occurs within Planning Area 10 of the North Sphere Specific Plan.

D. Existing Conditions
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan area consists of irregular shaped lots totaling 17.69 acres. The
land is partially developed with the Desert Willow Golf Resort clubhouse parking lots in its
northwest corner, on approximately 3 acres. The balance of the site (approximately 14.7
acres), is vacant, desert land, bounded by the existing golf course.
The proposed Specific Plan area is designated as “Resort & Entertainment District” on the
City’s General Plan Land Use Map, which allows for various types of lodging, retail,
commercial services, recreational facilities, along with specialized entertainment with a
commercial floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.10, and multi-family residential land uses of
up to 10 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). According to the General Plan (2016), the
purpose of this District is “to provide for a range of entertainment and resort destination
uses that require large amounts of land and that draw visitors to the City such as theme
parks, hotels, and sports facilities.”
The City’s Zoning Map currently designates the Specific Plan area as “Planned Residential
(PR).” Commercial recreation and hotel land uses are allowed in the PR zone only with
the issuance of a conditional use permit when not directly related to a permitted
residential development. With regard to hotels in the PR zone, the maximum density must
be approved by the Planning Commission or Council (Zoning Code Chapter 25.10
Residential Districts).
E. Project Description
i. Land Uses
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan establishes building and development standards for the
entire 17.69-acre Project site. This Specific Plan proposes the development of a 5-acre
surf lagoon, surf center facilities, up to 350 hotel rooms, and up to 88 residential villas (See
Exhibit 4 Overall Site Plan). Parking has been distributed throughout the site and an off-
site parking lot has been secured for special event overflow parking (See Exhibit 3 Project
Location Map).

Special Events may also be held that could result in 3,500 ticketed spectators. Parking
overflow during special events will be located off-site at location(s) to be approved by
the City. A shuttle service will be provided during special events to transport visitors to
and from offsite parking to the Surf Center.
Lagoon Maintenance
The surf lagoon will require daily cleaning and may require one annual full-drain for
maintenance purposes. In the event of a maintenance emergency, the lagoon will be
drained as necessary and heavy equipment may be required to repair damage and/or
replace equipment.
F.CEQA Compliance
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City identified
the preparation of this Specific Plan as a “Project” under CEQA and prepared an Initial
Study. The Initial Study found that the Specific Plan had a potential to significantly impact
the environment, and that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared. The
City circulated to all responsible and trustee agencies a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of
an EIR. All comments received in response to the NOP were considered and incorporated
into the EIR. The EIR was circulated to all responsible and trustee agencies, and all other
interested parties, for a period of 45 days. All comments received in response to the EIR
were considered in the Response to Comments prepared for the Planning Commission
and City Council. The City Council certified the EIR prior to adopting this Specific Plan, on
X X, 2021.
1 Holidays/Holiday periods include the week of Christmas, week of New Years, Martin Luther King Day,
Presidential holidays, Memorial Day, Labor Day, the week of Thanksgiving, and Spring Breaks (March 1-
April 15).

H.Parking Standards
Primary parking for the hotel and surf center guests will be provided in the hotel’s parking
garage, located on the first and second floors of the hotel, and in surface parking
adjacent to these buildings. Employee parking will be located at the south end of the
site by the maintenance and service areas. Through mutual agreement with the City of
Palm Desert, 130 parking spaces will be shared with the Desert Willow golf clubhouse. In
the event the parking garage reaches full capacity, the hotel shall have a parking plan
in place that may include a combination of an on-site valet and off-site shuttle service
to and from the overflow parking lot. Off-street parking for the villas shall be provided
immediately adjacent to the proposed buildings or in an adjoining structure, such as a
garage or carport. Additional street parking is located throughout the planning area and
is not restricted to any particular use.
Parking and loading spaces, including off-site parking for special events, shall be
designed in conformance with Section 25.46.030.D of the Palm Desert Zoning Ordinance,
with the following exceptions:
•Tandem parking is permitted for villa areas, however, no more than two tandem
spaces are allowed with one access to a drive aisle.
•Tandem parking is permitted in parking structures; however, a valet service must be
required at all times the use is open for business, and the valet parking area is
accessible only by the valet service.

I.Circulation and Emergency Access
Vehicular connectivity within the project will be from a perimeter Promenade with two
public access points on Desert Willow Drive. The driveway furthest north will be the primary
entrance for the hotel and surf center. The Promenade also provides emergency access
to the entire site, with a third gated emergency access point located at the western
corner of the site that connects to Willow Ridge Road.
Internal circulation will primarily be designed for pedestrians with the exception of
emergency lifeguard vehicles, which will have access to the Lagoon area and
boardwalk for emergencies and maintenance vehicles for transporting equipment and
daily upkeep of the lagoon and surrounding area. Guests and residents are encouraged
to leave their vehicles parked and instead use pedestrian walkways, bicycles or golf carts
to move around the site.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
16
Circulation plans for the Project shall adhere to the design guidelines set forth in this
Specific Plan. Street improvements, including curbs, gutters, paving and sidewalks, shall
adhere to requirements and development standards set forth in Zoning Code Chapter
25.10.B.13, which states:
“Required Width of Private Roads. With no parking, the private roads shall
be 20 feet wide. With parking on one side, 32 feet wide. With parking on
two sides, 40 feet wide. The roadways shall be a minimum of asphaltic
concrete with concrete curbs and gutters as approved by the Director.
Standards of design and construction of roadways, both public and
private, within the project may be modified as is deemed appropriate by
the City, especially where it is found that the development plan provides
for the separation of vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns and
provides for adequate off-street parking facilities.”
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
17
III. DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. Architecture
All buildings constructed onsite shall maintain a consistent
character carried out by quality materials and design that are
evocative of the surf resort theme proposed within this Specific
Plan. Architecture must embrace and incorporate authentic
materials, curated in a way that is not overly designed - such
as a natural weathered look found in genuine surf
environments. It is encouraged that building design features be
multi-functional, including shade structures that change with
the season and creative seating designs that are integrated
into the landscape and building features.
Building design shall be unique to the site in that the configuration shall take advantage
of and preserve the surrounding vistas while integrating into the existing character of the
surrounding Desert Willow property. Various architectural characteristics include:
• Blending artificial and natural elements for functional purposes (shade, seating,
etc.) to integrate into the environment;
• Embrace and integrate the beach into the desert, think dunes to surf;
• Encourage intuitive and organic wayfinding designs;
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
18
• Consider irregular roof lines that encourage unique designs with added
functionality for shade and place-making;
• Incorporate dynamic and seasonal shading strategies for exterior occupied
space;
• Encourage the use of eco-friendly materials that have been recycled and
upcycled reminiscent of the natural and relaxed feeling of the property.
i. Architectural Themes
DSRT SURF reflects the natural environment and the Desert Modern theme, which blends
contemporary and Mid-Century styles. Buildings must have clean lines, play off horizontal
and vertical planes, and incorporate natural materials.
Desert Mid-Century Modern
Desert Mid-Century Modern is an architectural style characterized by clean simplicity with
the intention of blurring the lines between indoor space and outdoor living. This blending
with nature is achieved by emphasizing the use of windows and open floor plans when
designing indoor spaces.
What makes “Desert Mid-Century Modern” unique is the opportunity to design buildings
tailored to the warm California climate by incorporating passive cooling techniques, such
as the use of open breezeways, ample glazing, angular construction, light facades, and
outdoor living space. Simple post-and-beam steel-framed buildings are often used due
to the material’s resilience in the harsh desert climate, which also promotes a sleek
modern design.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
20
While in accordance with the prevailing architectural theme, arrival points and building
entrances must receive special treatments consistent with the materials discussed in this
document. Generous use of desert landscaping, natural materials, and interesting
monument signage assist in the creation of a distinctive sense of place that will be carried
out throughout the Project.
Architectural elements that provide shade and create shadow lines, such as building
projections, covered walkways, arcades, and other human scale openings shall be
included to reduce the impact of building mass and create visual interest. The means of
enclosure to courtyards and balconies shall be visually permeable where appropriate
and the stepping back of upper floors should also be utilized to further reduce the visual
impact of building mass and maximize view corridors and viewsheds of the mountain
vistas. It is also common to see rooflines echoing the surrounding mountains with “butterfly
roofs,” or “V roofs,” which are characterized by an inversion of a standard form roof, with
two roof structures sloping down from opposing edges towards a middle point of the roof.
Preserving and Enhancing Viewsheds
The Specific Plan area enjoys views of the surrounding San Bernardino and San Jacinto
mountain ranges. As building heights within the Specific Plan generally exceed those
previously existing in the surrounding area, it is essential that architectural elements and
building components be varied to reduce the overall perception of mass, resulting in
graduated frontages that allow generous view corridors. A particularly distinctive
viewshed will be created by the opening of the arrival plaza between the surf center and
the hotel. Views from the arrival plaza looking southeast between the two buildings shall
be unobstructed to the greatest extent possible to preserve the viewshed of the surf
lagoon against the dramatic mountain backdrop.
Creating Gathering Space
One of the overarching goals of this Specific Plan is the thoughtful creation of public
gathering space to encourage friendly interactions between guests. This playful co-
mingling is achieved by both passive and intentional design. Landscaping will be utilized
as a functional seating design element throughout the site by encouraging the use of
low-rise block and/or stone walls that serve to define landscaped areas while also
providing casual seating throughout the property. Open lawn and sandy beach areas
will be strategically placed throughout the property in proximity to the lagoon and pools
to encourage guests to create their own hangout space, which is reminiscent of an
authentic beach experience. Other Project components that provide intentional
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
21
hangout space include restaurants and bars, cabanas, lounge chairs, fire pits, and
recreational activity space. The combination of designed gathering points and freeform
hangout space promotes a destination resort atmosphere envisioned for the Project.
Sustainable Building and Energy Efficiency
Conservation and sustainability are common values amongst the surf community and
encouraged throughout the DSRT SURF Project. Green building techniques and design
principles should be implemented throughout DSRT SURF. DSRT SURF structures shall utilize
passive design principles that are unique to the site and thus minimize the consumption
of energy and maximize user comfort as much as is practicable. Roof overhangs,
supplemental shading, strategic glazing ratios, building orientation and daylighting shall
be considered in concert. Materials shall be chosen for resiliency as much as for
aesthetics. Interior spaces shall be designed to be an extension of the outside and not
require conditioning where (and when) practicable.
Passive solar design has been implemented in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley for
a number of years, through the use of shade structures and building orientation. Passive
solar design should be part of building design to the greatest extent possible through
deep recesses for balconies which shield building interiors; window placement on
exposed wall faces; and use of structures and trees to shade public or private open
spaces, and limit heat sink effects. As technology continues to expand and improve, solar
energy can be harnessed to lower the energy demand of the Project. Active solar panel
design should also be considered throughout the Project.
The surf lagoon wave machine technology is designed to perform at the highest level
and as efficiently as possible. In terms of performance, the system runs at an efficiency
level of 92%, thus using the energy at the most efficient levels to generate waves within
the lagoon. The versatility of the technology permits the number of waves to be adapted
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
22
to the number of surfers at any given time. In this way, the fixed consumption of the
installation is reduced to a minimum, and electricity consumption has a direct correlation
to wave generation without unnecessary energy waste. DSRT SURF also promotes the use
of products and materials that have a positive economic, social and environmental
impact and focuses on minimizing the energy involved in extracting, processing,
transporting, maintaining and disposing of materials associated with construction of the
machinery.
The landscaping palette for DSRT SURF is designed to minimize the use of water for
irrigation through the installation of highly efficient irrigation systems, plant-specific
emitters, and using drought tolerant desert landscaping.
Recycling of materials within DSRT SURF should be made as simple and accessible as
possible. Although centralized solid waste disposal is likely throughout the Project, each
building should be designed to make the recycling of materials easy and convenient. If
trash chutes or centralized sorting areas are designed in buildings, they must include a
recycling component.
Finally, open spaces within the Project will include furnishings and finishes which should to
the greatest extent possible be made of sustainable and/or recycled materials. A broad
range of products are now available, with more being introduced every year, which
reuse materials in their construction.
ii. Building Heights and Mass
The Specific Plan allows for development where careful attention to appropriate building
height, scale and massing will be essential to creating space and enhancing the surf
resort experience. The majority of the planning area will be pedestrian oriented, and all
buildings should be sensitively designed to the human scale with active, pedestrian
friendly frontages and pathways.
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan allows for a maximum building height of 50 feet without
articulation. Elements such as awnings, balconies, roof overhangs, or trellises that
protrude from the building elevations are encouraged to provide a unique design and
additional shade. The following exhibits provide architectural inspiration for the hotel and
villas, and should be considered during the precise planning process.

iii. Building and Design Materials
The DSRT SURF architectural style is defined by an authentic and organic palette of
complementary materials and finishes. While consistent with the broader theme, it is
essential that materials, colors and finishes are appropriate to the architectural style of
individual buildings. Intense sunshine is a prevailing feature of the desert environment and
textured surface finishes on which interesting shadow effects can be achieved will
contribute much to distinctive local character.
The following materials are encouraged in building design:
• Weathered tropical hardwoods such as ipe for pathways and walls;
• Ocotillo branch screens and trellises to provide shade with natural materials and
interesting textures;
• Stacked stone for walls, fencing, and seating;
• Sand finished concrete for pathways to create a beachy texture;
• Wood siding commonly used for coastal buildings;
• Painted steel, rusting steel, and metal roofs will naturally weather creating an
authentic look.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
27
B. Pathways and Wayfinding
The streetscape and wayfinding concepts are intended to unify the surf center, lagoon,
hotel and residential uses in a cohesive manner. The goal of the internal pathway theme
is to encourage organic wayfinding designs with natural materials juxtaposed with
artificial materials (such as boardwalks, sand, grass, and concrete) to suggest organic
circulation. Haphazard path directions promote the feel of natural wayfinding consistent
with natural beach environments. Examples of creative wayfinding include:
• A mix of pathway materials, such as concrete, boardwalks, sand, and grass;
• Playful pathway directions that avoid 90-degree angles;
• Interesting wayfinding signage using natural and/or weathered materials;
C. Landscaping
The landscape design character at DSRT SURF will project the relaxed surfing beach
character of Baja California, where the desert meets the ocean. At DSRT SURF, the use
of rustic stone, wooden boardwalks, and casual arrangements of desert compatible
plants creates a setting for guests to unwind and engage with the dynamic surfing
lagoon.
Another goal of the landscape is to complement the character of the landscape at
Desert Willow, with an emphasis on desert compatible plant species. The plant species
selected at the perimeter of the Project will be species that are currently being grown in
the adjacent landscape areas at Desert Willow. The goal is to have DSRT SURF fold
seamlessly into the overall landscape character of Desert Willow. The perimeter
landscaping will subtly provide screening between DSRT SURF and the golf course, while
maintaining views outward to the San Jacinto Mountains. The perimeter landscaping will
also use wind tolerant plantings to buffer the Project from the northwesterly winds and
mitigate the potential for wind-blown sand.
The landscape at DSRT SURF has been designed to celebrate the bold forms, textures,
and blooms of succulents and cacti that are adapted to the climate of the Coachella
Valley. Varied plant species have been selected and placed to create organic
compositions that display the unique colors, textures and forms of novel and memorable
plant species.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
28
i. Conceptual Landscape Plan Zones
The landscape for DSRT SURF has been broken down into four conceptual landscape
plan zones.
ZONE 1: PERIMETER LANDSCAPE
The perimeter landscape will be comprised of evergreen trees and shrubs that are either
native or native adaptive. Plants that are currently growing in adjacent landscaped
areas at Desert Willow will be incorporated into the plant palette. Plants will have dense
evergreen foliage to create a vegetative windbreak or to screen selective views into and
outward from the site. Evergreen groundcover plants and angular crushed gravel will be
placed to assist in bank stabilization and to reduce wind-blown sand.
ZONE 2: PROJECT ENTRY
The landscape at the Project entry at Desert Willow Drive will have Fan Palms that provide
vertical punctuation to create a sense of arrival and assist with wayfinding. A landscaped
median will include additional Fan Palms that will be held back from the intersection so
that views of on-coming traffic are not blocked. Project signage will be incorporated into
the entry landscape along with LED low voltage up-lights on the palm trees and entry
sign.
ZONE 3: LAGOON BEACH
The zone between the lagoon, hotel and villas is referred to as the ‘Lagoon Beach’.
Meandering pathways make their way around the pool and gathering spaces to
concrete stairs and an accessible ramp to access the beach level. The concrete paving
will have a sand finish to provide the needed slip resistance and ‘sand beach’ character.
To strengthen the beach character of the landscape, tropical hardwood decking is inlaid
flush into the pavement to suggest beach boardwalks. Cabanas, day beds and chaise
lounges line the sand beaches invoking the destination resort feel. Crushed gravel will
cover the planting areas to reduce potential blown sand.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
29
Located at the Lagoon Beach zone are pools and spas with lounging areas and day
beds creating a relaxing, laid back environment. Palms and accent trees are organically
interspersed throughout the beach zone to add to the Baja California landscape
concept. Most of the trees at the Lagoon Beach will be small textured, evergreen trees
located to provide the maximum afternoon shade. The trees will be desert compatible,
with minimal litter or pollen production. A variety of tree sizes will be planted to offer
varied tree heights and tree ages. Desert shrubs and succulents will have bold textures,
colorful blooms, and a variety of foliage colors; variegated, blue-green, or olive-green
colors. Shrubs with spines or thorns will be set back from the edge of walkways.
ZONE 4: VILLAS, STACKED FLATS, AND CLUBHOUSE
The landscape character at the villa and stacked flats sites will have a more intimate,
residential scale as compared with the other landscape zones. Large canopy, small
textured evergreen trees are located to shade the parking stalls and the pedestrian
walkways from the afternoon sun. Shrubs and accent plants will display a variety of
colorful foliage and flowers. Pedestrian paving will be a sand finished concrete that will
complement the native stone and gravel and provide slip resistance. Residents will have
access to a private clubhouse and swimming pool and spa overlooking the lagoon. From
the pool deck are stair and ramp pathways leading to the lagoon boardwalk. Common
areas include a large lawn space for gatherings and events, recreational areas, cabanas
and lounge space. Palm trees are limited to the pool/spa patios and clubhouse common
areas. Landscaped areas adjacent to villas may be landscaped with turf block,
decomposed granite, or similar material to be used for additional parking, seating areas,
and other gathering spaces.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
30
ii. Landscape Palette
a) Plants
Plant material has been selected using WUCOLS water use calculations with preference
given to low water use plants. Plant material native to tropical regions on the planet have
been excluded due to their irrigation requirements and the ‘tropical’ character of their
foliage. Given the surfing, swimming focus of this Project, plants and trees that produce
excessive leaf, flower, seed and pollen litter that could end up in a water filtration system
are to be avoided.
Trees
Entry Plaza tree species were selected for their upright, vertical form that will assist visitors
with wayfinding. The trees will be placed to frame views of the mountains and of the
lagoon.
Parking Area trees will be evergreen and tolerant of seasonal winds and provide shade
to parking stalls and pedestrian walkways. The placement of trees will avoid casting
shade onto the photo voltaic panels on the parking lot canopies.
Promenade trees will have an informal alignment and spacing. Their locations will be
selected to buffer views both into and out from the site. The varieties will be evergreen
and wind tolerant.
Lagoon Beach tree species will include both evergreen shade trees and clusters of Palms.
The shade trees will have small textured evergreen foliage and will produce minimal litter.
They are placed in informal groves with varied tree heights at time of planting.
Perimeter Landscape tree species have been chosen to complement or mimic the golf
course landscaping. They will be evergreen, tolerant of seasonal winds and provide
judicious screening as required. They will be placed in informal, natural appearing groves
comprised of a variety of heights.
Exhibit 9 provides a visual list of tree species representative of the palette envisioned for
the Project.

Shrubs
The shrub species have been selected for their ability to tolerate wind and afternoon
heat. Shrubs that are sensitive to afternoon heat have been placed in shaded north or
east facing exposures. Wind tolerant shrubs have been used to create vegetative
windbreaks along the perimeter of the Project. In areas of greater visibility, plants have
been selected for their variety of foliage colors and forms. At the lagoon beach, shrubs
have been chosen for their cleanliness and compatibility with hardscape surfaces.
Exhibit 10 provides a visual list of shrub species representative of the palette envisioned
for the Project.
Accent Plants
Accent plants will comprise heat and drought tolerant succulents and cacti. Accent
plants will be primarily located in high traffic areas of the Project. Preference has been
given to plants with bold sculptural form, large texture and dramatic blooms. Spineless
varieties of cacti have been incorporated into the palette. Any accent plant with sharp
spines or thorns will be kept away from walking paths.

iii. Irrigation
The irrigation system will be computer controlled and extremely water efficient. The
irrigation controller will communicate with a weather station so that the frequency and
duration of the irrigation will be adjusted to hourly changes in the weather. The irrigation
layout will be zoned to isolate landscapes with similar sun exposures and plant
communities. All shrub beds will be irrigated by drip irrigation emitters and trees will be
irrigated on zones separate from the shrubs. The water use calculations for this system will
be prepared and submitted per CVWD irrigation design requirements.
iv. Public Space Furniture
The furniture selected for DSRT SURF will be durable and user friendly. Benches will include
benches with and without backs. The furniture seating surfaces will be either tropical
hardwood or aluminum chosen for its high durability and low heat retention. Movable
chairs and tables, incorporated into areas adjacent to food and beverage service, will
allow guests to customize the furniture arrangements. Casual seating is encouraged on
eighteen-inch-high seat walls and stone boulders located throughout the Lagoon Beach.
Customized canvas shade sails are located adjacent to architecture or screen walls to
create areas of shade at high volume use areas. Trash receptacles will be durable
stainless steel and easy to service. Bicycle racks will be located at prominent access
points and will be made of tubular stainless steel.
v. Stone
Native stone boulders will be placed strategically within the planting beds to provide a
native landscape character and to assist in soil retention. Some boulders are located to
provide casual seating for guests. The boulders will be sized between two and six feet
across. The landscape beds will be covered in either round river cobble or angular
crushed rock. This will provide additional texture to the landscape and assist in limiting
blowing sand. Native stone will also be used in retaining walls and 18-inch-high seat walls.
The stone will be either dry set, mortar set, or used in a gabion wall retention system.
Exhibits 11 and 12 provide a visual list of furniture, stone, fencing, and shade structures
representative of the palette envisioned for the Project.

vi. Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting will include tree and shrub up lights, path lights, and step lights. All
lighting will be low voltage and have low maintenance LED fixtures. The selective use of
up lights will limit their numbers to only high-profile specimen tree and shrubs. The lights
will be angled to reduce glare and hot spots. The goal is to showcase the lighted element
and not the light source.
D. Signage
To ensure a cohesive overall Project design, the entire planning area will be subjected to
these same signage program standards and guidelines. Materials will be consistent with
the overall Project material palette and in keeping with the desert modern theme
established in this Specific Plan. The overall intent of this section is to describe signage
that appears consistent with the materiality of the Project and will weather over time.
All signage will be located in a manner that provides optimal efficacy of the overall
signage program balancing the need for identification and wayfinding while maintaining
a discreetly curated sense of place. Care shall be exercised to minimize the overuse of
signage and thus reduce visual clutter around the Project.
All Project signage will comply with the local building code and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and will be approved by the City. Signage will comply with the
City’s Zoning Code, Chapter 25.56 and building code pertaining to clearances and sizes,
except where provided below. Typography shall be coordinated across the entire
Project.
Creative design in signage is encouraged. Variations to the standards and materials
provided below can be permitted with approval of the Community Development
Director. Corporate logos and typestyles are permitted within the parameters set forth
below.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
38
i. Project Identity and Monument Signage
a) Location
Project Identity Monument Signage will be located at the primary entrance at Desert
Willow Drive in the separated median, or immediately adjacent to the separated
median. Signage at the secondary drive onto Desert Willow Drive shall be treated as
Project Wayfinding Signage thus ensuring the majority of vehicular traffic enters the
Project off the primary entrance at Desert Willow Drive’s roundabout.
b) Materials
Monument signs shall be constructed in stone or weathering steel or a combination
thereof. Narrative content shall be cast or carved into the primary material or shall be
additive in the form of individual cast letters on stand-offs or shall be subtracted (e.g. laser
cut) from a weathering steel plate placed over the primary material. Stone walls with
signage shall be reserved for Project identity signage or principal Project component
signage (e.g. The Surf Center, Hotel identity, Villa identity) and shall be grand in scale.
c) Sizing
Primary narrative content, either positive or negative shall be a minimum of 9” and a
maximum of 24” and secondary narrative content shall be no larger than 60% of the
height of the primary content. The overall size of the Project monument signage shall be
no taller than 7’ measured from adjacent grade and shall be no wider than a maximum
proportion of 2.5 times the height.
ii. Project Wayfinding Signage
Project wayfinding signage is an opportunity to reinforce the overall cohesion of the
Project across all phases and programs.
a) Location
Wayfinding signage shall be located at all major transitions between Project programs
(e.g. Surf Lagoon, Hotel, Surf Center, Villas) and minor Project programs (e.g. Restrooms,
changing areas, pools, etc.) Wayfinding signage shall be pole or building mounted and
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
39
narrative content shall be placed within 3’ and 5’ elevation above adjacent grade so
that the content is easily read by standing pedestrians. Wayfinding signage shall be
placed adjacent to traffic areas in landscaped areas such that it is readily visible.
However, care shall be taken to avoid obstructing primary view corridors of the Lagoon
or other Project amenities.
b) Materials
Project wayfinding signage will evoke the beach style created by the architecture, and
provide information at different scales. Primary wayfinding information (e.g. directions or
simplified descriptors for program) can be reduced to simple graphics or letters that are
cut into the plate/post. Secondary wayfinding information may be printed on a
contrasting element mounted to the primary surface or may be etched into the surface.
iii. Primary Building Signage
a) Location
Primary building signage shall be located at, or proximate to, the primary public entrance
to the building in question.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
40
b) Materials
Primary building signage shall be of the same or similar materials as the Project identity
signage.
c) Sizing
Primary narrative content, either positive or negative shall be a minimum of 9” and a
maximum of 24” and secondary narrative content shall be no larger than 60% of the
height of the primary content. Primary building signage may be graphically incorporated
into the building skin provided the building skin is a natural material (e.g. rammed earth,
natural wood siding, stone, etc.). Graphically incorporated signage shall not be limited
in size.
Narrative content that is subtracted from other materials in the “field” from which it is
subtracted shall be no taller than 3’ and no wider than a maximum proportion of 2.5
times the height.
The overall size of the Primary Building Signage shall not be limited.
iv. Retail Signage
a) Location
Retail Signage shall be mounted directly to buildings in the form of letters on standoffs or
directly applied rather than integrated into a complete sign. This allows the building
façade material to read behind the sign. Blade signs may be considered. Plate or sheet
material may be considered if the narrative content is subtracted from the sign and the
building façade material is the relief.
b) Materials
Retail signage shall be of natural materials consistent with this section or painted black,
grey or white.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
41
v. Signage Lighting
Cast surfaces or additive content shall be face illuminated from concealed sources.
Laser or otherwise cut narrative content shall be illuminated from behind the material
from which the content was subtracted.
Wayfinding signage shall be illuminated internally, or by concealed illumination, or by
general building illumination if available.
vi. Signage Approval Process
Signage program(s) shall be approved by the Architectural Commission. Signage
program(s) can be submitted with Precise Plan applications, or subsequent to Precise
Plan applications.
E. Walls and Fences
DSRT SURF is being developed as a unified, single Project. Perimeter walls between the
surf lagoon, hotel and villas are prohibited. Screen walls are to be limited to only those
required for privacy or to block views into service areas, loading docks and similar back
of house facilities.
Surf Lagoon
Fencing surround the lagoon will be installed if necessary, to satisfy the current pool fence
code requirements. Gates that satisfy the current pool fence code requirements will be
located at each entry point to the surf lagoon/beach area. There will be a minimum 4-
inch on-center spacing for the rails or cables for security purposes. There are locations
where a building, structure, or wall will provide the required security in lieu of the fence.
The fence will occur between any gaps between these structures. A minimum 4-foot
clear zone between the top or bottom riser of a staircase and the fence gates is required
to address ADA accessibility code.
Walls shall be permitted at the ground level only to screen loading dock facilities, pool
and lagoon maintenance equipment, and trash enclosures. Walls shall not be allowed
to exceed 6 feet in height, as measured from finished grade. Walls shall be constructed
of split faced block, precision block, wood, stucco or stone.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
42
Wrought iron fencing, decorative block/rock walls or tubular steel fencing no higher than
3-feet in height shall be permitted to enclose outdoor use areas, such as restaurant
terraces and lounge areas.
Within the parking garage and service areas, chain link fencing shall be permitted to
enclose equipment or storage areas only. The chain link fencing shall not exceed 6-feet
in height.
Hotel and Villas
Adjacent to hotel, walls shall be permitted at the ground level only to screen loading
dock facilities. Walls shall not be allowed to exceed 6 feet in height, as measured from
finished grade. Walls shall be constructed of split faced block, precision block, stucco or
stone. No other material shall be permitted. Wrought iron fencing, decorative block/rock
walls or tubular steel fencing no higher than 3 feet in height shall be permitted to enclose
outdoor use areas, such as restaurant terraces and lounge areas. Fences and gates that
satisfy the current pool fence code requirements will be located at each entry point to
the surf lagoon/beach area. There will be a minimum 4-inch on-center spacing for the
stainless-steel cables for security purposes. No chain link fencing shall be permitted at or
above ground level in any part of the hotel development.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
43
Within the parking garage and service areas, chain link fencing shall be permitted to
enclose equipment or storage areas only. The chain link fencing shall not exceed 6-feet
in height.
Adjacent to residential/villa development, walls and fences shall be permitted at the
ground level to screen entryways and courtyards. Walls and fences adjacent to a street
may not exceed 6-feet in height, as measured from finished grade. Walls and fences on
the interior of a building, adjacent to common area open space may not have a visual
obstruction that exceed 3 feet in height as measured from finished grade. Glass may be
permitted above the 3-foot height threshold, but combined height shall not exceed 6
and a half feet. Walls and fences may be constructed of wrought iron, tubular steel, glass,
split face block, precision block, stone, stucco, wood, or decorative metal siding (non-
reflective). No chain link fencing shall be permitted at or above ground level.
F. Lighting
Lighting will be used for landscaping, pathways and stairways, monuments and signs,
and security. With the exception of the surf lagoon, all developments within the Specific
Plan area are subject to the outdoor lighting requirements set forth in Chapter 24.16 of
the Palm Desert Municipal Code. Requirements include architectural outdoor lighting,
public street lighting, light trespass standards, holiday exceptions, and time of operation.
The following images are example fixtures proposed for the planning area.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
44
Surf Lagoon Lighting Standards
Lighting for the surf lagoon will require both in ground lighting (flush with the lagoon
bottom), lighting in the lagoon side walls, as well as stadium-like lighting above ground
to ensure all portions of the lagoon are properly lit for night surfing. The following lighting
standards have been developed specific to the surf lagoon to ensure minimal light and
glare spillage onto surrounding properties, while optimizing surfer safety.
Technology: LED technology positioned in a manner that focuses light directly onto the
lagoon to prevent excess light and glare spillage onto neighboring land uses.
Light Pole Height: 80 feet maximum.
Hours of Operation – Pole Lighting: In Summer (May 15-September 30), pole lighting will
be permitted from dusk until 12 AM 7 days a week. In Winter/Spring (November 1-May
14), pole lighting will be permitted from dusk until 10 PM on weekdays, and until 12 AM
on weekends, Holidays and during special events. For safety purposes, lighting within the
lagoon will be required after hours until dawn. Pole lighting will be permitted in the early
hours of operation (6-7am) in the event that natural lighting conditions are inadequate
for surfer safety.
A lighting plan will be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of building permits to
ensure swimmer/surfer safety and that light trespass onto neighboring land uses is
minimized.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
45
IV. INFRASTRUCTURE
The DSRT SURF Project occurs in an area of Palm Desert which
is fully developed. As such, most infrastructure, including
roadways, water, sewer, and utilities, are in place in the area.
It is expected that with implementation of the Specific Plan, the
majority of existing trunk lines will remain with minor relocations,
and on-site extensions will occur to service individual
development components throughout the site. A detailed
description of all existing and proposed infrastructure for the
Project is provided below.
A. Roadways
Primary Project entrance ingress and egress will occur at the northeast corner of the site
from the existing Desert Willow Drive roundabout. A secondary driveway will be provided
approximately 240 feet southeast of the primary access point but will only be used for
guest egress and emergency access. Primary vehicular circulation within the Specific
Plan area will be from a perimeter roadway or “Promenade” that connects both Planning
Areas. The Promenade right of way will range from 24 to 30 feet wide with a single lane
of traffic in each direction. Parking will be provided in designated driveways (villas),
parking lots and/or structures within the appropriate Planning Area. On-street parking will
not be permitted. Two emergency access points will be provided; one from the
secondary driveway located southeast of the site entrance, and one gated access point
from the neighboring Desert Willow Westin Villas property to the west via Willow Ridge
Drive.
B. Drainage and Flood Control
Storm runoff generated on-site is designed to be conveyed to the adjacent South Golf
Course via an underground storm drain piping system in a similar manner to the systems
employed by existing adjacent resort developments. The Project will connect to existing
24-inch storm drain lines and proposed underground systems to outlet on-site runoff to
the adjacent golf course consistent with the existing South Golf Course Runoff
Management Plan. Disposal of accumulated water will take place by infiltration, assisted
by the installation of drywells.
The surf lagoon will require regular cleaning and maintenance resulting in the need to
dispose of lagoon water. Lagoon water will be drained in a similar fashion to stormwater,
in that it will be directed to the adjacent South Golf Course via an underground storm
drain piping system. Stormwater and lagoon water will be discharged into an existing
lake on the golf course that is currently used for stormwater retention and landscape
irrigation. Stormwater infiltration will be assisted by the installation of drywells.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
46
C. Public Utilities
The infrastructure that will serve the development is described below and is designed to
provide a coordinated system of infrastructure and public services to adequately serve
the plan area at full build out. The infrastructure and utilities plan identify standards
relative to land use for the plan area and establishes the infrastructure and public service
policies.
i. Sewer
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley Water District
(CWVD) for sewer and wastewater service. Portions of the project at lower elevations will
connect via gravity flow to existing 8-inch sewer lines located within Willow Ridge Drive
to the west. The remainder of the project at higher elevation will gravity flow to an existing
12-inch sewer line located within Desert Willow Drive to the east. Wastewater will be
conveyed to and treated at CVWD’s wastewater treatment plant WRP-10, which also
generates recycled water that is primarily used for irrigation of golf courses and large
landscaped areas, including the Desert Willow property.
ii. Water
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley Water District
(CVWD) for water service. As shown in Exhibits 17-19, existing 8-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch
water lines are located adjacent to the site in both Desert Willow Drive and Willow Ridge
Drive. An on-site well is proposed for the southeastern portion of the Project site by the
lagoon wave machine infrastructure and will supply water for the lagoon. Alternatively,
the Project could connect to an existing well, located south of the Project site within the
golf course. A Water Supply Assessment will be prepared prior to Project approval to
ensure CVWD has adequate water supply and infrastructure to serve the site.
On-site irrigation will connect to existing 10-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch irrigation lines
adjacent to the property. Fire flow water would be provided from the proposed 8-inch
pipe located in Willow Ridge Drive, and onsite fire hydrants will be provided per Riverside
County Fire Department standards.
Two infrastructure realignments are required in proximity to the Desert Willow Drive
roundabout and Project entrance. These include the realignments of a 20-inch recycled
water line and a 12-inch irrigation line (See Exhibits 17-19).
iii. Other Utilities
The site is served by Southern California Edison (SCE) for electrical services and by
Southern California Gas Company for natural gas. Solid waste and recycling services will
be provided by Burrtec Waste and Recycling. Telecommunication services will be
provided by Frontier Communications and cable television services will be provided by
Spectrum.

VI. APPENDIX A: GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
California Government Code §65450-§65453 permits the adoption and administration of
Specific Plans as an implementation tool for elements contained within the local General
Plan. The City of Palm Desert General Plan provides guidance for long-term growth and
development in the City through comprehensive plans for future development.
Consistency with the General Plan is achieved when the various land uses within the
Specific Plan are compatible with the goals, policies, and general pattern of land uses
contained in the General Plan. Consistency is defined as follows: “An action, program, or
project is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all its aspects, it will further the
objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment.” This
statement from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) describes how a
Specific Plan should be consistent with the General Plan.
The discussion below details the DSRT SURF Specific Plan’s consistency with the goals and
policies that are set forth in the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
2035 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
LAND USE and COMMUNITY CHARACTER
GOAL 1. Quality Spaces. A beautiful city with a balance of high-quality open
spaces and high-quality urban areas.
Policies
1.1 Scale of development. Require new development along the city’s corridors
use design techniques to moderate height and use and ensure compatible
fit with surrounding development.
1.2 Open space preservation. Balance the development of the city with the
provision of open space, and especially the hillsides surrounding the City,
so as to create both high quality urban areas and high quality open space.
1.3 Traffic generation. Balance medium and high intensity/density
development with pedestrian-oriented and bicycle friendly design features
so as to maximize trip and VMT reduction.
1.5 Community Amenities. Balance the impacts of new development, density,
and urbanization through the provision of a high-level of neighborhood and
community amenities and design features.
Consistency
The development of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan (DSSP) will result in improvements the
area’s existing environment. These improvements will be in the form of new sidewalks and
enhanced landscape areas as well as the construction of a recreational resort center on
a currently vacant lot.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
52
In addition, the architectural style will be reflective of the desert mid-century modern
aesthetic. The aesthetic character of the DSSP, including architecture, landscaping, walls
and fences, and signage, are described in the design guidelines defined by Chapter III of the
Specific Plan.
The integration of a signature surf theme with related recreational amenities also supports
the goals of the General Plan. The high-quality design attributes of the DSSP, such as
enhanced streetscapes and pedestrian walkways, have the potential to increase
surrounding property values and create positive fiscal impacts in the City.
GOAL 2. Human-Scaled Design. A city designed for people, fostering interaction,
activity, and safety.
Policies
2.3 Landscaping. Require development projects to incorporate high quality
landscaping in order to extend and enhance the green space network of
the city.
2.6 Lighting. Require all new street lights in commercial areas to be pedestrian-
oriented and scaled, attractively designed, compatible in design with other
street furniture, and to provide adequate visibility and security in
accordance with best practices for night sky protection.
2.12 Destination Accessibility. Direct the development of new centers, parks,
schools, and similar destinations so as to provide all residences within town
¼ mile to at least two amenities.
Consistency
The DSSP’s carefully designed landscaped buffers and parkway improvements along
perimeter will blend into the existing Desert Willow landscapes. Landscape treatments,
theme walls, and entry monumentation will visually enhance the currently vacant area.
All lighting within the DSSP, with the exception of the surf lagoon, will be subject to the
City’s Municipal Code to reduce impacts to the night sky. Specific lighting standards
have been developed for the surf lagoon to ensure minimal light spillage onto offsite
properties. Since the DSSP is located within the Desert Willow resort development, resort
guests may access the DSSP amenities and vice versa.
GOAL 4. Districts. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts that provide
space for large-format retail, industrial and resort uses in order to increase access
to jobs, provide amenities for residents, and enhance the fiscal stability of the City.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
53
Policies
4.1 Resorts. Encourage the development of unique resort complexes. Locate
resorts in areas of the city where citywide connectivity will not be negatively
affected by the design of the project.
4.2 Resort design and connectivity. Allow resorts to be designed as isolated
and gated developments as long as through traffic and external
connectivity occurs at distances of no greater than 1,300 feet. Exceptions
to this may be made where external connection is not possible because of
steep slopes, or natural or man-made barriers.
Consistency
The DSSP’s uses will support balanced growth in the area since it adds to the existing Desert
Willow amenities in a unique format by creating surf community in the center of a desert resort
city. Unlike any other resort development, the DSRT SURF Specific Plan area will create a
different resort complex within an existing resort and maintain the overall image of the site.
GOAL 8. Economic Development. A diverse, growing, and resilient local
economy.
Policies
8.1 Long-term economic development. Support the development and
implementation of long-term economic development strategies that seek
to establish and keep new businesses.
8.7 Natural environment. Maintain and enhance the natural environment as
critical to the attraction of tourists and ensure that new development does
not adversely affect the natural environment as a tourist draw.
8.8 Recreational amenities. Strategically utilize City recreational investments to
create and enhance development opportunities.
Consistency
The DSSP contributes to the economic well-being of the City by offering quality
development that will provide a diversity of resort and commercial businesses to the
employment pool.
GOAL 9. Fiscal Stability. A fiscally sound and sustainable city.
Policies
8.1 Fiscal impact assessment. For all major development projects, including but
not limited to specific plans, annexations and changes in General Plan
designations for areas over 5 acres in size, require a fiscal impact
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
54
assessment to determine possible fiscal impact of the development project
and use the information to formulate conditions of approval for the project.
8.2 Efficient growth. Manage growth in a manner that is fiscally sustainable and
protects and/or enhances community value.
8.3 Diverse tax base. Guide development and public investments to maintain
a fiscally sound city with a sustainable tax base and user fees including
property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, utilities user tax and user
fees that pay for cost of services.
Consistency
The City has required performance and market feasibility assessments to be prepared for
the DSSP in order to evaluate these impacts to the City. The assessments will also outline
the projected growth of the immediate area as a result of the DSSP. Since the DSSP
proposes a hotel and commercial uses such as restaurants and retail uses taxes from
these services will create a diverse tax base from the implementation of the DSSP.
MOBILITY
GOAL 2. Parking. An actively managed system of public and private parking
facilities that supports future development.
Policies
2.1 Public Parking Facilities. Provide new public parking facilities only after
applying appropriate techniques to manage parking demand and ensure
efficient use of all public and private parking facilities.
2.5 Innovative Parking Approaches. Allow the use of innovative parking supply
and demand strategies such as shared parking, unbundling parking, and
other related items within privately owned parking facilities to allow an
appropriate level of flexibility for these private land owners.
2.6 Formal Parking Evaluations. Perform formal evaluations of parking capacity
on a biannual basis to identify areas where parking is under- or over-utilized.
Consistency
Primary parking for the hotel and surf center will be provided in the hotel parking garage
on the first and second level of the building, and in surface parking adjacent to the
buildings. Parking for the residential component will be provided immediately adjacent
to the corresponding buildings or in an attached garage. Underground or structure
parking is allowed on site. The Parking standards stipulated by the City of Palm Desert
were used in order to design the required parking spaces. Table 4 of the DSSP further
breakdowns the standards.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
55
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
Goal 1. Water Resources. Protected and readily available water resources for
community and environmental use.
Policies
1.1 Water conservation technologies. Promote indoor and outdoor water
conservation and reuse practices including water recycling, grey water re-
use and rainwater harvesting.
1.2 Landscape design. Encourage the reduction of landscaping water
consumption through plant selection and irrigation technology.
1.3 Conservation performance targeted to new construction. Incentivize new
construction to exceed the state’s Green Building Code for water
conservation by an additional 10 percent.
1.4 Greywater. Allow the use of greywater and establish criteria and standards
to permit its safe and effective use (also known as on-site water recycling).
1.5 Waterways as amenities. When considering development applications and
infrastructure improvements, treat waterways as amenities, not hazards,
and encourage designs that embrace the waterways.
Consistency
As stipulated by SB 610 and SB 221 under Water Code Section 10910(a) the DSSP is
required to produce a water supply assessment and water supply verification in order to
document the sufficiency of the CVWD water supply to meet the demand associated
with the proposed land use. CVWD adopted the DSSP WSA in 2019. The DSSP WSA
determined that CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the demands of the Project
for the next 20 years and the anticipated water demand will not substantially deplete
groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge such that there would be
a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level.
The DSSP will also encourage water conservation through techniques such as the use of
low volume irrigation systems and drought-tolerant landscaping. Any water features,
such lagoons or pools, built in the specific plan area will be designed to minimize the use
of excessive amounts of water. In addition, the Project applicant proposes to offset the
lagoon’s water demand by participating in the Golf Course Turf Reduction Plan
developed by the City of Palm Desert that will replace approximately 1,035,325 square
feet of turf with drought-tolerant landscaping
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
56
Goal 6. Energy. An energy efficient community that relies primarily on renewable
and non-polluting energy sources.
Policies
6.1 Passive solar design. Require new buildings to incorporate energy efficient
building and site design strategies for the desert environment that include
appropriate solar orientation, thermal mass, use of natural daylight and
ventilation, and shading. Masquerade
6.2 Alternative energy. Continue to promote the incorporation of alternative
energy generation (e.g., solar, wind, biomass) in public and private
development.
6.3 Energy Efficient Buildings. Encourage new buildings and buildings
undergoing major retrofits to exceed Title 24 energy efficiency standards.
6.11 Energy-efficient infrastructure. Whenever possible, use energy-efficient
models and technology when replacing or providing new city infrastructure
such as streetlights, traffic signals, water conveyance pumps, or other
public infrastructure.
Consistency
A cornerstone of the surf community is conservation and sustainability. In addition to the
solar panel design features included in the surf center, passive solar design such as the
use of shade structures and building orientation will be used throughout the DSSP area.
The DSSP intends to uphold those values by creating structures and spaces that
implement green building techniques and design principles, such as using recycled
building material where appropriate. The surf lagoon wave machine technology is
designed to perform at the highest level and as efficiently as possible. In terms of
performance, the system runs at an efficiency level of 92%, thus using the energy at the
most efficient levels to generate waves within the lagoon.
SAFETY
Goal 3. Flood hazards. A community where flooding and inundation hazard are
contained within areas reserved for open spaces.
Policies
3.1 Flood Risk in New Development. Require all new development to
minimize flood risk with siting and design measures, such as grading
that prevents adverse drainage impacts to adjacent properties, on-
site retention of runoff, and minimization of structures located in
floodplains.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
57
3.2 Flood Infrastructure. Require new development to contribute to
funding regional flood control infrastructure improvements.
3.3 Stormwater Management. Monitor, update, and enforce
stormwater management plans in coordination with regional
agencies, utilities, and other jurisdictions.
3.4 Open Space for Flood Control. Prioritize open space or uses that
serve recreational purposes as a preferred land use within areas of
high flood risk.
Consistency
The DSSP property is located in Zone X, which represents “areas outside of 0.2% annual
chance flood.” (Map No. 06065C1615G) as defined by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Development
of the DSSP will not added structures in an area that is subject to flood risk. The retention
basin planned for the DSSP will be in the form of a lagoon and passive open space.
PUBLIC UTILITIES & SERVICES
Goal 1. Stormwater. Stormwater management system that leads to clean water,
basin recharge and increased water retention.
Policies
1.1 Stormwater infrastructure for new development. Require development
projects pay for their share of new stormwater infrastructure or
improvements necessitated by that development (regional shallow ground
water).
1.2 On-site stormwater retention and infiltration. Whenever possible,
stormwater shall be infiltrated, evapotranspirated, reused or treated onsite
in other ways that improve stormwater quality and reduce flows into the
storm drain system.
1.3 Groundwater infiltration. Encourage the use of above-ground and natural
stormwater facilities in new development and redevelopment, such as
vegetated swales and permeable paving.
1.4 Stormwater re-use and recycling. Encourage innovative ways of capturing
and reusing stormwater for non-drinking purposes to reduce the use of
potable drinking water.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
58
1.5 Recycled water. Work with the CVWD to encourage existing golf courses to
connect to its recycled water system.
1.6 Collaborative stormwater management. Encourage collaborative,
integrated stormwater management between multiple property owners
and sites.
1.7 Low impact development. Require the use of low-impact development
strategies to minimize urban run-off, increase site infiltration, manage
stormwater and recharge groundwater supplies.
1.8 Green infrastructure in public rights-of-way. Encourage green streets with
in-street bio-retention and other forms of stormwater retention and
infiltration in streets and public rights-of-way.
1.10 Stormwater in urban context. Development projects shall incorporate
stormwater management into landscaping, except in downtown
designations where catch basins shall be prohibited.
1.11 Water quality detention basins. Require water detention basins to be
aesthetically pleasing and to serve recreational purposes, such as in the
form of a mini park. Detention basins designed for active uses are intended
to supplement park and open space and should not be counted towards
a developer’s minimum park requirements, unless otherwise determined by
the Planning Commission or City Council.
1.12 Retention Basins. Encourage storm water retention basins, especially in the
City Center Area, to be underground in future development so as to
achieve the most efficient use of land and compact development and
promote the urban character goals of the General Plan.
Consistency
The DSSP will implement the standard requirements for the retention of storm flows and
participates in the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to protect
surface waters from pollution, as well as maintain the City of Palm Desert’s Municipal
Code 8.70.100 (On-Site Stormwater Retention), which requires all new developments to
retain the 100-year storm flow on-site and/or off-site.
Goal 2. Sewer. Sewer management and facility operations that allow for
adequate disposal within the community.
Policies
2.1 Sewer system maintenance. Work with the Coachella Valley Water District
to ensure sewers are operational and in good working order.
DSRT SURF
Specific Plan
59
2.2 Sewer infrastructure for new development. Require development projects
to pay for their share of new sewer infrastructure or improvements
necessitated by that development.
2.3 Sewer connections. In the event that a sewer line exists in the right-of-way
where a lateral line connection is required to serve a lot, require a sewer
connection at the time the lot is developed.
Consistency
As mentioned above, the DSSP will incorporate the use of the existing sewer and water
facilities and infrastructure near the site and new storm drains to fit extended to tie into
existing facilities. The DSSP lines will connect to existing lines beneath Willow Ridge and
Desert Willow Drive. All new sewer facilities will be constructed and maintained in
accordance with applicable standards.
Goal 3. Water Supply. Ensure a sustainable, clean, long-term water supply.
Policies
3.1 Agency coordination. Coordinate on an ongoing basis with the Coachella
Valley Water District, and other agencies responsible for supplying water to
the region.
3.3 Water infrastructure. Maintain existing water infrastructure to protect the
supply, quality, and delivery of potable water.
3.4 Water infrastructure for new development. Require development projects
to pay for their share of new water infrastructure or improvements
necessitated by that project.
3.5 Recycled Water. Expanded use of recycled water in existing and new
development.
3.6 Citywide water conservation and efficiency. Encourage and promote
community water conservation and efficiency efforts, including indoor and
outdoor efforts that exceed CalGreen requirements.
Consistency
The DSSP will incorporated the State’s Water demands and conservation measures will
include techniques such as the use of low volume irrigation systems and drought-tolerant
landscaping. The lagoon and added water features that will built in the DSSP area will be
designed to minimize the use of excessive amounts of water. As required by Water Code
Section 10910(f) a Water Supply Assessment was prepared and approved for the DSSP
area to assess the condition of the groundwater basin and a sufficiency analysis of the
basin to supply the Project area. Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) adopted the
DSSP WSA in 2019 that determined CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the
demands of the Project for the next 20 years.

DSRT SURF PROJECT
ADDENDUM TO THE DSRT SURF PROJECT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
(SCH No. 2019011044)
1. INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1. SUMMARY
This document is an Addendum to the 2019 DSRT SURF Project Environmental Impact Report
(EIR, SCH No. 2019011044). This Addendum has been prepared to evaluate the potential
environmental impacts of amending the DSRT SURF Specific Plan, Tentative Tract Map,
Development Agreement, and buildout of the revised DSRT SURF Project, referred to herein as
the “Project.” In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this
Addendum analyzes the proposed Project amendments and demonstrates that all potential
environmental impacts associated with the Project at buildout would be within the envelope of
impacts already evaluated in the approved EIR.
In this document, Section I provides the detailed description of the City of Palm Desert’s planning
procedures and environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Section 2 describes the proposed Specific Plan amendment and revised DSRT SURF
Project. Section 3 describes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed amended
Project in the context of the 2019 DSRT SURF Specific Plan EIR.
1.2. PROJECT LOCATION
The 17.69-acre Project site is located on the west side of Desert Willow Drive, north of Country
Club Drive in the City of Palm Desert, Riverside County, California. The irregularly shaped site is
bounded by golf course on its west, south and east sides, and by the Desert Willow Clubhouse
parking lot on the north. The Project site is located in Section 4, Township 5 South, Range 6 East,
San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian and consists of three Assessor’s Parcels: 620-420-023,
620-400-024 and -620-400-008. Regional location and project vicinity maps are provided in
Exhibits 1 through 4.
2
1.3. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CURRENT PROPOSAL
Background
The Project site is partially developed with the Desert Willow Clubhouse parking lot in its
northwest corner (approximately 3 acres) and the balance of the site (approximately 14.7 acres)
is vacant desert land. The site is designated as Resort and Entertainment District on the City’s
General Plan Land Use Map which allows bed and breakfast inns, recreational facilities, retail,
lodging, and commercial services along with specialized entertainment with a commercial floor
area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.10, and multi-family residential land uses of up to 10 dwelling units
per acre (DU/AC). The City’s Zoning Map designates the site as Planned Residential (PR-5),
allowing 5 units per acre. Prior to adoption of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan, development of the
site was governed by the North Sphere Specific Plan (NSSP), which encompassed a total of 515±
acres and allowed for a wide range of resort and residential development. The DSRT SURF
planning area generally occurs within Planning Area 10 of the NSSP.
2019 DSRT SURF Project
In 2019, the City of Palm Desert certified the DSRT SURF Specific Plan EIR that analyzed
development of the DSRT SURF Project (2019 Project). The 2019 Project would result in the
development of a surf lagoon of up to 6 acres in size, a surf center to include restaurant, bar,
retail and similar facilities, up to 350 hotel rooms, and up to 88 resort residential villas on the
17.69-acre site. The Project was to be implemented in two phases and consisted of two planning
areas: the Surf Lagoon Planning Area (PA 1, 11.85 acres), and the Hotel and Villas Planning Area
(PA 2, 5.84 acres). Planning Area 1 would be constructed first and include the development of
the surf center and pie-shaped surf lagoon, which included a wave machine located in the central
pier of the lagoon and in the mechanical building at the southeastern portion of the site. The
Hotels and Villas Planning Area (PA 2) would be developed in phase 2 and result in the
construction of the hotel(s) and villas on approximately 5.84 acres.
The 2019 Project included a Specific Plan (SP) to guide the overall development of the site, a
Precise Plan (PP) for the lagoon and surf center, and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) to subdivide
the site into five parcels. The Project also included a Disposition and Development Agreement to
facilitate the sale of the property which is currently owned by the City, and establish development
responsibilities of both the applicant and the City.
The 2019 Specific Plan set forth the planning principles, land use policies, development
standards, maximum development densities and design guidelines for the overall development
of DSRT SURF and public improvements within the Specific Plan area. The architectural theme for
the Project was Desert Mid-Century Modern, inspired by the Desert Modern and Mid-Century
styles. The follow land use and development standards were set forth in the 2019 Specific Plan:
3
The land use, design, and development standards of Planning Area 1 would be regulated through
a Precise Plan based on the City’s Municipal Code Section 25.72.030. A Precise Plan application
was filed for the Lagoon and Surf Center, including a 5.5 acre lagoon, restaurants, bars, retail
space and entertainment facilities and was considered and approved as part of the 2019 Project.
A Precise Plan application was not submitted for the Hotel and Villa Planning Area at the time of
the EIR analysis, therefore impact analysis was based on the Planning Area’s maximum buildout
potential of 350 hotel rooms and 88 resort residential villas on approximately 5.84 acres.

space.
***Events = 2,500 SF built space plus 1,000 SF exterior non-built space, total of 3,500 SF of
usable space.
On-site parking under the 2019 Project would include a mix of surface parking throughout the
site and underground parking in proximity to the surf center and future hotels. The surf center
building would be open to the public, including retail shops and surf center restaurants. Future
guests could purchase a Beach Pass or Surf Pass to access the pool and recreational areas, lagoon-
side surf shack/bars, and the surf lagoon for surf lessons and surf sessions. The lagoon’s capacity
was up to 75 surfers during regular days, and up to 95 surfers for special events. It was assumed
that one special event would be held per month for a total of 12 special events annually, which
could result in 3,500 ticketed spectators per event. Parking overflow during special events would
be located off-site at a lot called “Lot E,” which has a capacity for 500 vehicles, and at established
parking lots elsewhere, including the Indian Wells Tennis Garden parking facilities. A shuttle
service would be provided during special events to transport visitors to the Surf Lagoon.
The 2019 Project also proposed off-site improvements including stormwater management and
pool/lagoon discharge infrastructure, a lagoon water source, removal of golf course turf in
several locations within the existing golf course and replacement with desert landscaping, other
landscaping improvements, and soil removal and storage. The 2019 Project also included
improvements to Lot E, the existing off-site parking lot southeast of the Project site that will
provide overflow parking during special events.
5
Also part of the 2019 Project was a TTM that subdivided the site into five parcels, including the
perimeter roadway, the surf lagoon and its associated buildings and facilities, the hotel(s) parcel,
and multiple parcels for the residential villas.
The Disposition and Development Agreement would facilitate the sale of the property between
the City and the applicant, and establish responsibilities of both parties in the development
process, including:
• Infrastructure, public parking and overflow parking improvements
• Performance requirements for the applicant to contribute fair share monies for the
installation of the traffic signal at Market Place Drive, and for the City to install the signal
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the surf center
• Various easements including:
o Resort storm water drainage into the Mountainview Golf Course waste areas just
south of the site
o Lagoon Evacuation Line, though the City’s Moutainview Golf Course and within the
existing Embarc 40’ Easement to the southeast of the Project site;
o Access to Mountainview Golf Course well water and supply line, located to the south
of lagoon;
o Access to off-site parking lot (Lot E) for overflow parking
• Off-site grading and turf reduction on the Desert Willow Golf Course
Current Proposal
The current proposal will amend the Specific Plan, Precise Plan, and TTM to accommodate
proposed modifications to the hotel, surf center facilities, and villas. The Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) is also being amended, to reflect the changes in the Project. The
components of the DDA listed above, however, are not substantially changing. A summary of
Project components is provided below, and a detailed description of the Project is provided in
Section 2, Proposed Amendments.
Specific Plan
The amended Specific Plan will maintain the Project’s original vision and aesthetic character,
including the architectural themes, desert landscape palette and recreational amenities. The
Specific Plan also maintains the existing land uses, including the development of a surf lagoon up
to 6-acres and associated facilities, up to 350 hotel rooms, and up to 88 residential villas (see
Specific Plan for details). Overall operations would remain the same with the average number of
surfers in the lagoon at any given time reduced from 75 to 70 surfers. It is still assumed that 12
special events would be held annually. The Specific Plan build out is consistent with the 2019
Project in terms of land use intensity and density. Amendments are proposed to development
standards, including residential setbacks; and the two previous Planning Areas are proposed to
be combined into one, consistent with the revised Precise Plan, which establishes the design of
the entire Project site. The DDA establishes the phasing schedule for the Project, which is
expected to be constructed sequentially, with the surf lagoon and surf center occurring first,
followed by the hotel and villas.
6
Precise Plan
The site is no longer divided into two Planning Areas. Instead, a Precise Plan application was
prepared for the entire site and for all Project components (Exhibit 5: Project Site Plan). The surf
lagoon is in the same general location, of the same general size, and will utilize the same wave
technology previously proposed and analyzed in the EIR. The surf lagoon will also include beach
areas, a control tower, life guard towers, viewing decks, gathering areas, and pool-spa areas. The
surf center includes the surf lagoon ticketing area, retail sales, offices for operations, areas for
board and wetsuit rentals, lockers, bathrooms, flex space, and indoor/outdoor surf instruction
areas. The hotel proposed in the Precise Plan application will include 92 keys and be four stories
in height (see Exhibit 7 for hotel elevations). The ground level will have amenities including a
restaurant, bar and lounge, all on the southwest side of the building, and a parking structure on
the northeast side of the building. The second level is entirely parking. The third level includes a
fitness center, spa, flex space, bar area, outdoor amenity deck, pool-spa areas, and guestrooms.
The fourth level is entirely guestrooms. (see Precise Plan Application). The Precise Plan also
includes 83 residential units located around the perimeter of the surf lagoon, as well as ancillary
facilities to serve the residences, including recreational amenities, a homeowners’ (HOA)
clubhouses and open space.
Off-site improvements will remain the same as the 2019 Project, including stormwater and
lagoon drainage, turf removal in several locations within the existing golf course, landscaping
improvements, Lot E parking facilities for special events and overflow parking, and soil removal
and storage.
Tentative Tract Map
The Tentative Tract Map (see Exhibit 6 for TTM 37639) was amended to accommodate the
revised residential component of the Project, which now proposes 33 private villas, a series of
seven condominium style buildings called “stacked flats,” and two private club houses (see
Exhibits 8 and 9 for typical elevations). Combined, the stacked flats have a total of 50 units,
resulting in a Project total of 83 residential units. The Precise Plan provides development specifics
for City review, including the site plan, architectural elevations, floor plans, roof plans, cross
sections, landscape plans, lighting plans, and utility plans. (see Precise Plan Application).

1.4. PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, a Lead Agency is required to prepare an EIR
Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to a project are necessary,
but the proposed project modifications do not require preparation of a subsequent EIR, as
provided in Guidelines Section 15162. In addition, the proposed modifications cannot result in
new or substantially more significant environmental impacts compared with the impacts
disclosed in the previously certified EIR.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that a subsequent EIR would be required for a project if
any of the following conditions exist:
1. Substantial changes to the project require major revisions to the previously certified EIR
due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified effects.
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken that require major revisions to the previously certified EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or
3. The availability of new information of substantial importance, which was not known or
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified, shows that the project will have one or more significant effects
not discussed in the previous EIR, significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR, or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were previously found not to be feasible or that are considerably
different from those analyzed in the previously certified EIR would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponent declines
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
This Addendum was prepared to analyze potential impacts of the proposed DSRT SURF Specific
Plan and Project amendments as compared to those previously identified in the 2019 DSRT SURF
Project EIR.
Based on the evaluation of information provided in this EIR Addendum, no new significant
impacts would occur as a result of the proposed Project, nor would there be any substantial
increase in the severity of any previously identified adverse environmental impacts. Therefore,
none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines has occurred. For this
reason, an EIR addendum is the appropriate document to comply with CEQA requirements for
the proposed Project.
19
2. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
The Project proposes amendments to the 2019 DSRT SURF Specific Plan, Precise Plan, and
Tentative Tract Map to accommodate modifications to the hotel, surf center facilities, and villas.
Amendments to the DDA are also proposed, consistent with the revised Project. The Specific Plan
amendment will not change the overall land use approvals for the site, which included 350 hotel
rooms, 88 villas, a surf center, surf lagoon and ancillary facilities, including parking, recreation
and mechanical/service areas. The architectural style (Desert Mid-Century Modern) and
landscape palette will also remain consistent and maximum building height will stay at 50 feet.
Overall, the Project does not propose changes to the Specific Plan’s land uses, and only minor
changes to the development standards. The most notable change is the consolidation of the
Project into one planning area as opposed to the two planning areas set forth the 2019 Specific
Plan.
The amended Precise Plan will result in the development of the entire site, consisting of a 92 key
hotel, surf center, a 5-acre surf lagoon, 33 private villas and 50 stacked flat residential units, as
well as ancillary facilities to support these uses.
The following provides a comparison of the assumptions made in the EIR versus proposed Project
amendments.
• Architectural Themes and Design Guidelines:
o The 2019 Specific Plan architectural theme is Desert Mid-Century Modern. Design
guidelines were provided for height and mass (up to 4 stories or 50 feet), pathways
and wayfinding, landscaping, signage, walls and fences, and lighting.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not propose changes to the Project’s design
guidelines1 and the current Precise Plan was designed in accordance to the Specific
Plan.
• Surf lagoon:
o The EIR assumed buildout of a 6-acre surf lagoon per the 2019 Specific Plan. Details
including water and energy demand were provided and analyzed in the EIR.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not change development standards of the lagoon and
therefore the same buildout assumptions would apply. The Precise Plan proposes a 5-
acre lagoon, however 6-acres is assumed to represent potential maximum impacts.
The same water and energy demands are assumed.
• General Commercial:
o The EIR assumed 45,000 square feet, including the surf center and mechanical rooms,
changing room, and other ancillary buildings proposed for Phase 1.
o The proposed Specific Plan generally maintains the same overall land use assumptions
with minor amendments. The maximum buildout potential of the surf center and
maintenance and equipment space remains 35,000 square feet and 15,000 square
1 The proposed Specific Plan includes clarifying text for parapets, towers, elevators, staircases and similar
architectural elements that may extend above the 50’ building height by no more than 10’.
20
feet respectively; however, the standalone surf center ancillary buildings (up to 3,000
square feet) have been removed, and it is assumed that any such use will be included
in the surf center’s maximum buildout potential. Also, the 8,000 square feet of
restaurant space originally allowed and accounted for within the 35,000 square feet
of surf center space was analyzed as a separate use in the 2019 EIR for air quality
analysis purposes due to the different trip generation rates for general retail and
restaurant uses. In total, the 2019 EIR analyzed 27,000 square feet of surf center space
(after subtracting 8,000 square feet of restaurant from the 35,000 square feet), 3,000
square feet of ancillary uses, and 15,000 square feet of mechanical space for a total
of 45,000 square feet of surf center/general retail. Therefore, it can assumed that the
45,000 square feet of retail space analyzed in the 2019 EIR was reduced to
approximately 42,000 square feet (subtracting the 3,000 square feet of stand alone
ancillary uses), representing a 7% reduction compared to the 2019 Project. The
Precise Plan proposes approximately 7,414 square feet of surf center facilities,
including ticketing, retail, lockers, control tower, and board and wetsuit rentals. In
addition, there are approximately 4,909 square feet of lagoon maintenance and
equipment space for a total of 12,323 square feet of surf center facilities. This
represents an 27% reduction in commercial spaces compared to the 2019 Project.
• Restaurant/Bars:
o The EIR assumed 11,250 square feet of restaurant/bar space which only accounts for
Phase 1 restaurant space. Hotels would include restaurant space for Phase 2, although
the exact square footage was not known at the time of the EIR. Modeling for hotel
uses for air quality, traffic, water use and similar quantifiable impacts included hotel
services such as spas, restaurants, bars and conference rooms.
o The proposed Specific Plan generally maintains the same overall land use assumptions
including maximum allowable surf center and hotel space; however, the standalone
east lagoon café and bar (up to 2,750 square feet) has been removed. The proposed
Specific Plan is not explicit about the allowed square footage of restaurant/bar space
in the surf center, other than it needs to fall within the surf center’s maximum allowed
buildout of 35,000 square feet. It is possible that buildout under the proposed Specific
Plan could result in 11,250 square feet of restaurant/bar space and therefore,
assumptions and impacts will be the same. The Precise Plan proposes approximately
3,271 square feet of restaurant/bar/grab and go cafe space located within the hotel,
representing a 71% reduction in this space compared to the 2019 Project.
• Hotel and Villas:
o The EIR assumed the maximum Specific Plan buildout of 350 hotel rooms and 88 villas,
and it assumed a combined total 500,000 square feet for analysis purposes.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not propose limits or changes to hotel and villas
development quantities and therefore the same maximum buildout assumptions
would apply. The Precise Plan proposes 92 hotel rooms and 83 villas. The total gross
building area for the hotel is 68,689 SF (84,363 square feet with amenity deck) and
168,529 square feet of villas and stacked flats (183,476 square feet with roof decks).
Therefore, total hotel and villa building square footage would be approximately
237,218 square feet, representing a 53% reduction compared to the 2019 Project.
21
• Parking:
o The EIR assumed 520 parking spaces and a multi-level structure with elevator.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not propose limits or changes to parking
requirements, and therefore the same assumptions as those used in the EIR would
apply. The Precise Plan proposes an above ground parking garage with elevator and
443 parking stalls. This represents a 14% reduction in parking compared to the 2019
Project.
• Capacity:
o The 2019 Project assumed, on average, 75 surfers would be in the lagoon at one time
with the ability to accommodate 95. Special events may be held that could result in
3,500 ticketed spectators.
o The proposed Project reduces the lagoon capacity from 75 to 70 surfers. Special
events assumptions would remain the same.
• Off-site Improvements:
o The 2019 Project included the following off-site improvements: stormwater and
lagoon drainage, turf removal in several locations within the existing golf course,
landscaping improvements and turf removal, Lot E parking facilities for special events
and overflow parking, and soil removal and storage.
o The proposed Project does not propose changes to off-site improvements, and
therefore assumptions and impacts will be the same.
3. IMPACT ANALYSIS
The proposed Specific Plan amendments are limited to updating the Project renderings, minor
modifications and clarifications of development standards, and merging the two planning areas
into one overall planning area. Maximum land use assumptions and quantities have not changed,
and therefore impacts associated with buildout of the amended Specific Plan would be
comparable, if not identical to those previously identified in the certified EIR. Changes in
development standards are limited to residential setbacks, which have been reduced for front
and side yards at the villas and stacked flats. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would
not result in any new adverse impacts or significantly increase the severity of previously identified
significant impacts in the certified EIR. Therefore, further analysis of the Specific Plan is not
required in this document.
In addition, the Project does not propose changes to off-site improvements previously analyzed
in the EIR. Because no changes are proposed, impacts associated with off-site improvements
would be the same as previously identified in the EIR. Buildout of off-site improvements would
not result in any new adverse impacts or significantly increase the severity of previously identified
significant impacts in the certified EIR. Therefore, further analysis of off-site improvements is not
required in this document.
22
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15162, the following analysis addresses each of the
environmental issues analyzed in the certified EIR as compared to the potential changes in
environmental impacts due to the proposed Project. As discussed above, impacts associated with
the proposed Specific Plan and off-site improvements are identical to those analyzed in the EIR,
and further analysis is not detailed below. Changes related to the Precise Plan application, and
ultimate build out of the Project site, are the focus of this document.
The certified EIR identified two environmental issues associated with the 2019 DSRT SURF Project
that could result in potentially significant impacts: Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Significant impacts are primarily attributed to the increase in vehicle trips generated by the
Project during special events, resulting in significant levels of mobile source criteria pollutants
and greenhouse gas emissions. The EIR analysis determined that air quality impacts associated
with NOx emissions during the life of the Project and greenhouse gas emissions could not be
mitigated to less than significant levels, and were therefore considered an unavoidable significant
impact. The City determined that the social and economic benefits of developing the DSRT SURF
Project outweighed the severity of these impacts, and Findings and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations were adopted.
3.1. AESTHETICS
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Scenic Vistas
The Coachella Valley is a low desert basin surrounded by dramatic mountainous terrain created
by the active geology that is characteristic of Southern California. Surrounding mountains include
the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and San Bernardino Mountain ranges. At its peak, Mount San Jacinto
rises to an elevation of 10,834 feet above mean sea level. The Santa Rosa Mountains, with Toro
Peak at an elevation of 8,715 feet above mean sea level, generally form the southerly boundary
of the valley. In the northerly portion of the valley are the Indio Hills, with elevations rising to
about 1,600 feet, and the Little San Bernardino Mountains further north, forming the
northeasterly boundary of the valley. Emanating from the mouths of mountain canyons are
numerous alluvial fans. Surrounding mountain views are of high aesthetic value across all of the
Coachella Valley, including the City of Palm Desert.
The Project site is generally flat and lies on the valley floor at an elevation of about 250 feet above
mean sea level. From the Project site, foreground views to the north, south, and east include golf
course greens, cart paths, and desert landscaping of the surrounding Desert Willow Golf Course,
as well as the clubhouse and parking lot to the northeast. Views to the west include two-, three-
and four-story residential villas and parking lots of the Westin Desert Willow villas.
Distant views include the middle and upper elevation slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains
approximately 3 miles to the south and southwest, and the San Jacinto Mountains approximately
10 miles to the west. In some locations, the Indio Hills (5 miles to the north) and Little San
Bernardino Mountains (8 miles to the north) are visible. Predominant views from the Project site
are of the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south. The aesthetic value of the other mountain ranges
23
is somewhat diminished due to distance from the Project site and intervening development and
landscaping. The Project site is not located along a designated State scenic highway and contains
no scenic resources, such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings.
Construction of the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas, and off-site improvements would
require the use of heavy equipment for grading, paving and excavation. Standard construction
methods would be used for the construction of the one- and two-story buildings proposed in PA
1 and up to 4-story (50 feet) buildings allowed in PA 2. Construction activities would be visible
from the surrounding golf course, Montecito and Retreat developments, and the Westin Desert
Willow project. Impacts from construction are temporary and would be limited by distance and
grade differences.
Buildout of PA 1 would result in a 2-story surf center, at the north end of the Project site, and 2-
story equipment building at the southeast corner of the Project site, representing the tallest
buildings in the Planning Area at 42± feet. No development application(s) for Planning Area 2
(hotel and villas) were filed at the time of the EIR, so specific architectural plans were not
available. However, the Project Specific Plan allows the hotel building(s) to have a maximum
height of 50 feet and the villas were envisioned as 2-story units.
Project building heights were found to be consistent with the Desert Willow Golf Course
Clubhouse and other nearby resort development, including the two- to four-story Westin Desert
Willow villas to the immediate west and southwest. The PA 1 site plan (Precise Plan) preserved
views of the Santa Rose Mountains to the south by clustering the surf center, swimming pools,
event lawn, and other gathering spaces in the northerly portion of the site and orienting them
toward the surf lagoon and scenic views to the south and southwest. No perimeter fencing, walls,
or other barriers that would obstruct scenic views were proposed. Lower level views of mountain
foothills would be somewhat reduced, but the peaks and the extent of the range would still be
visible above the proposed structures. The EIR determined that Project impacts to scenic vistas
would be limited by distance and strategic site planning, and impacts were found to be less than
significant.
Visual Character
The Specific Plan would guide overall development of the 2019 Project, including maximum
development densities, standards, and design guidelines. The 2019 Project was found consistent
with the visual character and scenic quality of the area, which is characterized by resort
development, native and drought-tolerant landscaping, and architectural themes, materials, and
colors that complement the desert environment. The EIR determined the 2019 Specific Plan
would not conflict with City policies preserving view corridors or scenic roadways.
The 2019 Specific Plan and Precise Plan allowed for buildings of up to 50 feet in height and surf
lagoon light poles of up to 80 feet. The Precise Plan lighting plan for the lagoon showed a total of
11 pole lights, ranging in height from 40 to 80 feet. Of this total, one was proposed at 40 feet,
three at 60 feet, four at 70 feet, and three at 80 feet in height, distributed on all sides of the
lagoon, and on the central pier. Given the heights proposed, these pole lights had the potential
to impact the visual character of the area, because the maximum building height within both the
proposed Project and surrounding projects ranges to approximately 50 feet.
24
Visual simulations from 7 photo location points on the outer edge of the public golf course were
prepared to demonstrate where the surf lagoon light poles would be located. Overall, it was
determined that the light poles would not significantly impact the visual character of the area
because of their limited mass, light color, and because views would already be partially screened
by the Project’s structures.
Overall, the EIR determined that the DSRT SURF Project would not significantly impact the visual
character of the area, or impact public views, because the mass and scale of the 2019 DSDRT
SURF Project was consistent with existing development within the Desert Willow golf course, and
the mass of the structures would be softened and blocked by existing golf course landscaping.
Impacts associated with visual character and public views were found to be less than significant.
Light and Glare
The 2019 DSRT SURF Project would increase light and glare from the following sources:
1. Pole-mounted lighting was proposed along the central pier and both sides of the outer
boardwalk. This included a total of 34 luminaires mounted on eleven (11) galvanized steel
poles that will be 40 to 80 feet in height. Of this total, one was proposed at 40 feet, three at
60 feet, four at 70 feet, and three at 80 feet in height. Section 24.16.015(F) of the Palm Desert
Municipal Code states that the maximum pole heights for sport courts shall be thirty (30)
feet. The Specific Plan allowed for the construction of light poles of up to 80 feet in height.
Section 24.16.015(E) of the Municipal Code requires that sports lighting fixtures use the latest
technology to control spill light from the lighting fixture. Each luminaire will be fitted with a
light/glare control visor that directs light downward onto the lagoon and reduces glare and
light spillage.
Section 24.16.045(C) of the Municipal Code states that outdoor recreational sports lighting
shall be turned off at 10:00 pm with partial lighting remaining on until 10:30 pm to allow
participants to safely vacate the field/venue. The Specific Plan’s proposed surf lagoon
operational hours that allow surfers in the water until 12:00 am on holidays, weekends and
during special events, and 10 pm on weekdays.
2. Other lighting fixtures proposed in the 2019 Project include lights mounted in the concrete
pony wall along the entire boardwalk (18 inches above the boardwalk deck), and fixtures
mounted on handrail vertical posts along the entire pier (20 inches above the pier deck), as
well as landscaping lighting throughout the site.
3. The Project would involve the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, which would
convert sunlight directly into electricity.
4. Vehicles accessing and parking onsite will generate new sources of light and glare.
5. Windows will increase glare to some extent; however, exterior surfaces will be non-reflective.
Typical interior and exterior lighting will be installed.
25
The 2019 Specific Plan required that the Project comply with the City’s lighting standards, which
require that light be shielded and not spill onto adjoining properties. Windows will increase glare
to some extent; however, exterior surfaces will be non-reflective, and impacts related to glare
will be less than significant.
Typical interior and exterior lighting will be installed at the surf center, hotels and villas. The
lighting plan prepared for the perimeter of the site, which included all areas of the Project,
included photometric analysis of the proposed outdoor lighting. Light generated from these
fixtures would meet the City’s requirements for screening and limitations associated with light
levels being non-existent at the property line. Light would illuminate the Promenade roadway,
parking lots, hotel, villas, surf lagoon boardwalk and pier, and common areas around the surf
center, including ancillary buildings, swimming pools, and the event lawn.
The 2019 Precise Plan application provided the design of the lighting fixtures for the light poles,
including a large focusing visor which significantly limits light spillage. Analysis in the EIR
demonstrated that lighting levels at the property line would be reduced to imperceptible levels
to the north and south of the site at the property line, conforming to City standards. Light pole
luminaires would emit a total of 112,455 lumens, which is less than the 130,000 lumens allowed
for commercial light poles in Municipal Code Section 24.16-015, Outdoor Lighting Requirements.
The lighting impacts associated with the lagoon lighting as it relates to light fixture outputs would
therefore be less than significant. The EIR found that lighting levels at the villas immediately
adjacent to the lagoon could experience higher lighting levels. Per Mitigation Measure AES-1 of
the EIR, architectural plans for the villas in proximity to the lagoon will be required to
demonstrate that interior light levels in those villas will not exceed 1 footcandle, the lower
allowable standard under the City’s standards. This mitigation measure will assure that impacts
associated with lighting at the lagoon villas will be less than significant.
Solar panels were proposed for the roof of the surf center building. Reflectivity levels of solar
panels are significantly lower than standard glass or galvanized steel, and would not pose a
reflectance hazard to area viewers. Furthermore, these solar panels would be directed upward
so that they would not be reflecting sunlight onto the site to cause glare.
The City will review and approve all lighting plans prior to development to assure they provide
sufficient safety and security and comply with the Palm Desert Municipal Code. With
implementation of these standard requirements, impacts will be less than significant. The City
does not have specific numeric standards for glare. However, based on the findings in the EIR,
the lagoon lighting as proposed (40-80 foot tall poles) will result in minimal glare off-site, and
impacts were determined to be less than significant.
Summary of Impacts
The EIR determined that impacts related to scenic vistas and resources, degradation of existing
visual character, and creation of new sources of light or glare that would adversely affect
nighttime views were to be less than significant because of the development policies, programs,
and design performance standards set forth in the 2019 Specific Plan and City’s General Plan and
Municipal Code, and the implementation of Mitigation measure AES-1.
26
Mitigation Measures
AES-1 In order to assure that lighting levels at the Lagoon Villas do not exceed City
standards, architectural plans for these villas will be accompanied by a lighting
plan that demonstrates that the interior lighting level at the windows located
facing the lagoon does not exceed 1.0 footcandle.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan Amendments
The proposed Specific Plan amendments are limited to minor modifications to development
standards, updating the Project renderings and merging the two planning areas into one overall
planning area. Land uses and quantities have not changed, and therefore impacts associated with
buildout of the amended Specific Plan would be the same as previously identified in the certified
EIR. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would not result in any new adverse impacts
or significantly increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the certified
EIR. Therefore, impacts are considered less than significant
Precise Plan
The proposed Project will result in the development of a 92 key hotel with adjoining surf center
facilities, a 5-acre surf lagoon, 33 private villas and 50 stacked flat residential units. The proposed
hotel is 4-stories2 (50 feet), the surf center is single story (26 feet), villas are 2-stories (up to 30
feet), and stacked flats are 2- to 3-stories (up to 40 feet). These proposed building heights are
consistent with those previously analyzed in the EIR, which assumed 4-stories for the hotel, 2-
stories for the villas, and 2-stories for the surf center. The surf lagoon is in the same general
location, of the same general size, and will utilize the same wave technology previously proposed
and analyzed in the EIR.
No perimeter fencing, walls, or other barriers that would obstruct scenic views are proposed.
Lower level views of mountain foothills would be somewhat reduced, but the peaks and the
extent of the range would still be visible above the proposed structures. Similar to the previously
approved Project, proposed Project impacts to scenic vistas would be limited by distance and
strategic site planning, and impacts will be less than significant.
The proposed DSRT SURF Project would not significantly impact the visual character of the area,
or impact public views, because the mass and scale of the proposed Project are consistent with
what was previously analyzed in the EIR and existing development within the Desert Willow golf
course. As with the 2019 Project, the mass of the proposed structures will be softened and
blocked by existing golf course landscaping. The location of structures has been modified from
what was analyzed in the EIR, but their overall mass has not changed. The hotel structure will be
located on the northeastern portion of the site, generally in the location of the surf center in the
2019 project. Although the hotel proposes a taller structure than the surf center, that structure
2 Maximum building height is 50 feet; The Specific Plan has special provisions for parapets, towers, mechanical
screening etc. that allow such features
27
will be screened by distance and landscaping from existing development to the northeast. The
villas and stacked flats occur in generally the same locations as previously analyzed, and are of
the same mass and scale as that considered in the 2019 EIR. Impacts to viewers to the west of
the Project would be equivalent to or somewhat less than analyzed in the EIR, because the hotel
structure would not occur within that field of view. Impacts associated with visual character and
public views would be generally equivalent to those analyzed in the EIR, and will be less than
significant.
The site is currently vacant, therefore the Project will result in an increase in light associated with
development. The level of lighting will be consistent with what was previously analyzed in the
certified EIR, including lighting for the hotel, surf center, surf lagoon, villas, stacked flats, and
landscaping. The photometric analysis provided in the Precise Plan demonstrates that light
impacts will be controlled at the property line, and that the impacts of lagoon lighting will be
consistent with that analyzed in the EIR. Mitigation Measure AES-1, requiring limited light levels
at villas located adjacent to the lagoon, will also be applied to the proposed Precise Plan to lower
impacts of lagoon lighting on residents of the Project. The City will review and approve all lighting
plans prior to development to assure they provide sufficient safety and security and comply with
the Palm Desert Municipal Code. With implementation of these standard requirements, impacts
will be less than significant. The City does not have specific numeric standards for glare. However,
it was previously determined in the EIR that the lagoon lighting as proposed (40-80 foot tall poles)
will result in minimal glare off-site, and the currently proposed lighting plan does not change
from that analyzed in the EIR. Impacts will be consistent with that analyzed in the EIR, and less
than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures.
Off-Site Improvements
The Project does not propose changes to off-site improvements previously analyzed in the EIR.
Being that no changes are proposed, impacts associated with off-site improvements would be
the same as previously identified in the EIR. Buildout of off-site improvements would not result
in any new adverse impacts or significantly increase the severity of previously identified
significant impacts in the certified EIR. Therefore, impacts are considered less than significant.
Summary of Impacts
The proposed Project would not create any new impacts associated with views, and any impacts
would be comparable to those identified in the EIR. Thus, potential impacts to scenic vistas and
views associated with the proposed Project would be less than significant with implementation
of applicable Specific Plan, General Plan policies and design performance standards. Impacts
associated with lighting and glare will be less than significant as they relate to architectural
lighting, landscape and safety lighting, consistent with the EIR. Lighting levels resulting from the
light poles at the lagoon will, consistent with the findings of the EIR, have the potential to impact
residential villas, but will be required to implement Mitigation Measure AES-1, which will reduce
light impacts to assure that they comply with City standards, and result in less than significant
impacts.
28
3.2. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The Project site is within the urban core of the City, and does not contain agricultural or forestry
resources. Nor is there any zoning for such resources in the City. The Initial Study Notice of
Preparation determined there would be no impacts to these resources, and therefore impacts
were not further analyzed in the EIR.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
The site is currently vacant and contains sparse native vegetation. There are no existing or
mapped agricultural or forestry resources within or in proximity to the Project site, and such uses
are not proposed as part of the proposed Project. Therefore, the proposed Project would not
create any new impacts associated with these resources, consistent with those identified in the
EIR. No impacts to agricultural or forestry resources would occur under the proposed Project.
3.3. AIR QUALITY
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The City of Palm Desert is located in the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) portion of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCAQMD is the air pollution control district
principally responsible for comprehensive air pollution control in the Basin. Local development
and population growth, traffic, construction activities, and various site disturbances in the City
contribute to air quality emissions. The Coachella Valley portion of the SSAB is classified as a
“non-attainment” area for PM10 and ozone. State and federal standards for carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and lead are in attainment within the City and the SSAB. SCAQMD
has adopted a series of Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) to meet the state and federal
ambient air quality standards.
In March 2017, the SCAQMD approved the 2016 AQMP. The 2016 AQMP continues to evaluate
current integrated strategies and control measures to meet the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) and explore new and innovative methods to reach its goals. The 2016 AQMP
incorporates scientific and technological information and planning assumptions, including the
2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016-2040
RTP/SCS), a planning document that supports the integration of land use and transportation to
help the region meet the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. The EIR determined that the
DSRT SURF Project would be consistent with SCAG projections, and therefore consistent with the
AQMP.
Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan
PM10 emissions consist of fine suspended particles of ten microns or smaller in diameter, and are
the byproducts of road dust, sand, diesel soot, windstorms, and the abrasion of tires and brakes.
29
The proposed Project area lies on the valley floor of the central Coachella Valley where wind
erosion can be severe. The Project area and vicinity have a Very High Wind Erodibility Rating per
figure 8.3 in the General Plan. Strong winds lift and transport large quantities of sand and dust
and contribute to regional exceedances of PM10. The Coachella Valley has a history of elevated
PM10 emissions and is subject to the 2003 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan (CV
PM10 SIP). The CV PM10 SIP includes control measures for the abatement of large particles by
targeting construction and earth moving activities, disturbed vacant lands, unpaved roads and
lots, paved road dust, and agriculture.
To reduce the impacts of local fugitive dust and PM10 emissions, the City of Palm Desert adopted
a Fugitive Dust (PM10) Control Ordinance (Chapter 24.12 of the Palm Desert City Municipal Code).
The ordinance establishes minimum dust control requirements for construction and demolition
activities, including: preparation and approval of a fugitive dust mitigation plan, reductions in
vehicular speeds on unpaved roads and at construction sites, the application of chemical and/or
vegetative dust suppressants and stabilizers, paving of parking lots and roadways, installation of
wind fencing, vegetation of disturbed areas, and implementation of street and vehicle cleaning
programs at construction sites. Local PM10 Air Quality Inspectors working for SCAQMD out of the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) offices are tasked with monitoring and
identifying development activities that are not meeting emission standards, and help educate
developers and cities on meeting PM10 standards.
Ozone and Regional Air Quality Management Plans
Chapter 7 in the 2016 AQMP constitutes the ozone SIP for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS, which
addresses the current status of ozone air quality and provides the strategy toward future
attainment of the federal 8-hour ozone standards in the Coachella Valley
Construction Emissions
Buildout of the 2019 DSRT SURF Project would result in the direct and indirect generation and
emission of air pollutants during construction and operation. The California Emissions Estimator
Model (CalEEMod), version 2016.3.2, was used to estimate potential air pollutant emissions
associated with the Project. Assumptions were based on buildout of the Specific Plan and
represent potential maximum emissions. Due to the cumulative nature of assessing air quality
impacts, the DSRT SURF air quality analysis addressed the entire Project as a whole and the
combined impacts associated with the components listed below.
• Surf Lagoon and Surf Center – demolition of existing parking lot, grading, excavation, soil
export, construction, operational energy use, operational and construction-related
vehicle and haul trips for soil export.
o Assumes 12 special events per year for analysis purposes.
• Hotel and Villas – grading, excavation, soil export, construction, operational energy use,
operational and construction-related vehicle and haul trips for soil export.
• Off-Site Improvements:
o Stormwater Management – grading, excavation, potential soil export
o Pool/Lagoon Discharge – grading, excavation, potential soil export
o Golf Course Turf Reduction – soil disturbance
30
o Landscaping Improvements – soil disturbance
o Special Events Parking – limited grading, paving, soil disturbance associated with
landscape improvements
o Soil Removal/Storage – soil export and storage
Construction of the Project would require the export of approximately 103,000 cubic yards3 of
surplus earthen material to the Classic Club, which has a designated fill site for excess soils and is
located approximately 3.5 miles northeast of the subject property4. Therefore, it was assumed
that each haul round trip would be approximately 7 miles. This represents a worse-case hauling
distance, since the City may also allow the off-loading of Project-related soil export within vacant
areas of the Desert Willow project, which are much closer than the 7 miles associated with the
Classic Club location.
Additional assumptions included:
• Surf lagoon: 6-acre “recreation swimming pool” (CalEEMod terminology, model inputs
have been adjusted to reflect Project specifics)
• General Retail: 45,000 square feet. This includes the Surf Center and square footage for
mechanical rooms, changing room, and other ancillary buildings proposed for Phase 1
• Restaurant/Bars: 11,250 square feet. This only accounts for Phase 1 restaurant space;
however, CalEEMod assumes “hotels” will include restaurant space for Phase 2.
• Hotel: 438 rooms (350 hotel rooms and 88 villas), assumes 500,000 square feet
• Parking: 520 parking spaces, multi-level structure with elevator
• Other asphalt: 1 acre for off-site parking and internal roadways
The following table (Table 2.3-6 in the EIR) described pollutant emissions during construction of
the DSRT SURF Project. Data represent maximum daily emissions expected over the 2-year
buildout period.
Table 3

The EIR determined that SCAQMD daily thresholds for CO, NOx, ROG, SOx, PM10 and PM2.5 would
not be exceeded during construction of the 2019 DSRT SURF Project and construction-related
emission impacts would be less than significant No mitigation measures were required.

4 CalEEMod assumes the average haul load is 20 tons (or 16 cy) per trip.
31
Long-term Operation Emissions
Operational emissions are those released over the long-term life of the Project. They include
emissions generated by area, energy, and mobile sources. Area sources include consumable
products, such as building maintenance and cleaning supplies, kitchen and restroom supplies,
pavement off-gassing, and periodic reapplication of architectural coatings. Energy sources
include the direct and indirect use of fossil fuels for energy, including natural gas and electricity
use in buildings, parking lot lighting, ventilation equipment, and elevators. Mobile emissions are
generated by motor vehicle trips.
The EIR determined that 2019 Project-generated operational emissions would not exceed
SCAQMD thresholds for CO, ROG, SOx, PM10, or PM2.5 during typical operations or special events.
However, Project-generated NOx emissions will exceed SCAQMD thresholds during both types of
operations, as shown in the table below (Table 2.3-7 in EIR).

Projected NOx exceedances were largely associated with the number of vehicle trips expected to
be generated at Project buildout. Approximately 94% of Project-related NOx emissions are due
to motor vehicle trips. Because Project-related NOx emissions are directly linked to motor vehicle
trip generation rates associated with the proposed land uses, the EIR determined there are no
feasible ways to mitigate NOx emissions without changing project land uses, or project density.
The number of vehicle trips could be reduced, to some extent, by the use of alternative modes
of transportation by those accessing the Project site. However, the EIR determined that the
elective use of alternative modes of transportation by Project patrons could not be confidently
quantified and applied as a mitigation measure. Therefore, operational impacts would continue
to exceed NOx emissions, and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The City determined
32
that the social and economic benefits of developing the DSRT SURF Project outweighed the
severity of these impacts, and Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were
adopted.
Sensitive Receptors
The EIR analyzed Localized Significance Thresholds (LST) to determine whether the 2019 DSRT
SURF Project would generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts to the nearest
exposed individual or sensitive receptor. The nearest sensitive receptors to the proposed Project
are resort residences approximately 150 feet to the west, in the Westin Desert Willow villas
project. The Mass Rate Look-Up tables for LSTs were used to determine if the Project would have
the potential to generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts during construction.
The LST for Source Receptor Area (SRA) 30 (Coachella Valley) was used to determine LST emission
thresholds. The distance from the emission source and the maximum daily site disturbance also
determines emission thresholds. For analysis purposes, the worst-case scenario of a sensitive
receptor being within 25 meters was used.
The EIR determined that LST thresholds are not expected to be exceeded for any criteria pollutant
during construction. Because the proposed land uses do not include major stationary polluters
(such as a landfill, chemical plant, oil field, refineries etc.), LST analysis was not conducted or
required for Project operation. Therefore, impacts to sensitive receptors were determined to be
less than significant.

Health Impacts
The 2019 DSRT SURF would exceed NOx emissions under both typical operations and during
special events. During typical operations, the Project traffic is expected to exceed NOx emissions
by 16.56 lbs. per day. During special events, which is assumed to be 12 times a year, the Project
traffic is expected to exceed NOx emissions by 52.54 lbs. per day. As it relates to health impacts,
short-term exposure to NOx can result in airway constriction and diminished lung capacity and is
highly toxic by inhalation. Populations living near roadways are more likely to experience the
effects of nitrogen oxides due to elevated exposure to motor vehicle exhaust.
The EIR determined that it is not scientifically possible to calculate the degree to which exposure
to various levels of NOx emissions will impact an individual’s health with today’s technology.
Although there is a scientific consensus that there are health risks associated with exposure to
33
elevated levels of NOx, there are several factors that make predicting a Project-specific numerical
impact difficult:
• Not all individuals will be affected equally due to medical history. Some may have medical
pre-dispositions and diet and exercise levels tend to vary across a population.
• Due to the dispersing nature of the pollutant and transient nature of vehicles (the
emission source), it is difficult to locate and identify which group of individuals will be
impacted, either directly or indirectly.
• There are currently no approved methodologies or studies to base assumptions on, such
as baseline health levels or NOx emission level-to-health risk ratios.
On-site health risks associated with NOx were expected to be less than significant because the
project is not located in proximity to a major roadway and will not be directly be exposed to
concentrated vehicle emissions or elevated levels of NOx. However, for the reasons stated above,
it is uncertain how the 2019 Project will impact health in the region. Because the Project’s NOx
exceedances are due to motor vehicle travel, and motor vehicle travel increases with population
growth, it can be assumed that individuals in the region are already exposed to increasing levels
of NOx emissions and that the Project with only marginally contribute to existing conditions.
Additionally, Project emissions assume full capacity traffic conditions. In reality, the Project site
will not reach capacity most days, especially in the winter months due to the seasonal nature of
Project activities (surfing).
Due to the limitations described above, the EIR determined that the extent to which the 2019
Project poses a health risk is uncertain but unavoidable. It is anticipated that impacts associated
with NOx will be less than significant overall, and will only pose a significant risk during summer
special events due to the seasonal nature of Project activities and the reality that the Project is
not expected to reach maximum capacity often, thus generating fewer vehicle trips.
Nuisance Odors
Certain commercial and industrial land uses may have the potential to cause odor impacts,
including fast food restaurants, photographic studios, and laundry facilities, and other industrial
uses. The 2019 DSRT SURF Project has the potential to result in short-term odors associated with
operation of heavy equipment during grading, excavation, and other construction activities.
However, construction-related odors would be temporary and quickly dispersed below
detectable levels as distance from the construction area increases.
During Project operation, odors may be emitted from onsite restaurants and food service
facilities; however, all facilities would be equipped with proper ventilation systems to effectively
remove grease, smoke, and other odors. Therefore, the EIR determined that impacts related to
nuisance odors would be less than significant and no mitigation measures were required.
Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative potential impacts to air quality are assessed on a regional scale given the dispersing
nature of pollutant emissions and aggregate impacts from surrounding jurisdictions and air
management districts. Any activity resulting in emissions of PM10, ozone, or ozone precursors will
34
contribute, to some degree, to regional non-attainment designations of ozone and PM10.
However, the level of cumulative impact a single project may have on regional air quality is
difficult to measure.
PM10 is regulated through the SCAQMD 2016 Air Quality Management Plan and 2003 PM10
Coachella Valley State Implementation Plan (CVSIP). Additional PM10 reduction measures include
applicable state code and AQMD Rules, such as Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust), which enforces fugitive
dust compliance for all activities within the SSAB. The EIR determined the DSRT SURF Project
would not exceed local daily thresholds for PM10 during construction or operation. Therefore,
cumulative impacts to PM10 were considered less than significant.
As previously discussed, operational NOx emissions could not be reduced through conventional
mitigation measures. Because NOx is a precursor to ozone, impacts were considered Significant
and Unavoidable and would have cumulatively considerable impacts to regional non-attainment
designation for ozone. The City determined that the social and economic benefits of developing
the 2019 DSRT SURF Project outweighed the severity of these impacts, and Findings and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted.
Mitigation Measures
The following mitigation measures were identified to improve operational air emissions.
However, even with the implementation of these identified measures, mobile NOx emissions will
not be reduced to less than significant levels. As previously discussed, there are no feasible ways
to mitigate for NOx emissions that are directly linked to a land use vehicle trip rate. Therefore,
operational impacts will continue to exceed NOx emissions under the current analysis methods,
and impacts will be significant and unavoidable.

36
Analysis of the Proposed Project
The EIR analyzed maximum daily emissions based on buildout of the 2019 Specific Plan. Similar
to the EIR, air quality analysis considers the entire Project as a whole and the combined impacts
associated with both on-site and off-site improvements and operations. The following provides
a comparison of the assumptions made in the EIR versus proposed Project revisions.
• Grading:
o The EIR determined construction would require the export of approximately
103,000 cubic yards of surplus earthen material to the Classic Club, which has a
designated fill site for excess soils and is located approximately 3.5 miles northeast
of the subject property.
o The proposed Project would assume the same quantities as site conditions have
not changed since certification of the EIR.
• Surf lagoon:
o The EIR assumed buildout of a 6-acre surf lagoon per the Specific Plan. Details
including water and energy demand were provided by the applicant.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not change development standards of the lagoon
and therefore the same CalEEMod assumptions would apply. The Precise Plan
proposes a 5-acre lagoon, however 6-acres is assumed to represent potential
maximum emissions. The same water and energy demand are assumed.
• General Commercial:
o The EIR assumed 45,000 square feet, including the Surf Center (not including the
8,000 square feet of restaurant space, which is accounted for under
“Restaurant/Bars”) and square footage for mechanical rooms, changing room, and
other ancillary buildings proposed for Phase 1.
o The proposed Specific Plan reduces the overall commercial by approximately
3,000 square feet (removal of standalone surf center ancillary uses). Therefore, it
can be assumed that impacts associated with the revised Specific Plan would have
a comparable or less intense impact to air quality when compared to the 2019 EIR
and that previous CalEEMod assumptions would still apply. The Precise Plan
proposes 12,323 square feet of surf center facilities, including ticketing, retail,
lockers, control tower, maintenance space, and board and wetsuit rentals. This
represents a 27% reduction in retail spaces compared to the previously analyzed
Project.
• Restaurant/Bars:
o The EIR assumed 11,250 square feet of restaurant/bar space which only accounts
for Phase 1 restaurant space. The CalEEMod model assumed “hotels” would
include restaurant space for Phase 2.
o The proposed Specific Plan reduces the overall restaurant/bar space by removing
the standalone east lagoon café and bar (up to 2,750 square feet). Therefore, it
can be assumed that impacts associated with the revised Specific Plan would have
a comparable or less intense impact to air quality when compared to the 2019 EIR
and that previous CalEEMod assumptions would still apply. The Precise Plan
37
proposes approximately 3,271 square feet of restaurant/bar/grab and go cafe
space, representing a 71% reduction in this space compared to the previously
analyzed Project.
• Hotel and Villas:
o The EIR assumed the maximum Specific Plan buildout of 350 hotel rooms and 88
villas, and it assumes a combined total 500,000 square feet for analysis purposes.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not propose limits or changes to hotel and villa
development quantities and therefore the same CalEEMod assumptions would
apply. The Precise Plan proposes 92 hotel rooms and 83 villas. The total gross
building area for the hotel is 68,689 SF (84,363 square feet with amenity deck) and
168,529 square feet of villas (183,476 square feet with roof decks). Therefore,
total hotel and villa building structure square footage would be approximately
237,218 square feet, representing a 52% reduction compared to the 2019 Project.
• Parking:
o The EIR assumed 520 parking spaces and a multi-level structure with elevator.
o The proposed Specific Plan does not propose limits or changes to parking
requirements, and therefore the same CalEEMod assumptions would apply. The
Precise Plan proposes an above ground parking garage with elevator and 443
parking stalls. This represents a 14% reduction in parking compared to the
previously analyzed Project.
Construction Emissions
The Specific Plan does not limit or change the maximum potential buildout assumptions made in
the EIR, and impacts of maximum buildout potential of the site under the proposed Specific Plan
would be virtually the same as those analyzed in the EIR. Construction on the property would still
be phased, with lagoon and surf center construction occurring first, followed by villas and hotel
construction. The Precise Plan would result in a 27% reduction in commercial space, 71%
reduction in restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square footage, a 14%
reduction in parking and the same off-site improvements compared to maximum buildout
assumptions analyzed in the EIR. Therefore, emissions associated with buildout of the Precise
Plan would be less intense than those previously analyzed in the EIR due to the reduction in
overall development intensity and building square footage compared to maximum buildout of
the Specific Plan. Similar to findings in the EIR, impacts related to criteria pollutant emissions
during construction would be less than significant and no mitigation measures are required.
Long-term Operation Emissions
The Specific Plan amendment and proposed Project do not propose changes to operations or the
frequency and size of special events when compared to that analyzed in the EIR. Therefore,
impacts would be the same as those analyzed in the EIR. As previously discussed, the EIR
determined that Project-generated operational emissions would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds
for CO, ROG, SOx, PM10, or PM2.5 during typical operations or special events. However, Project-
generated NOx emissions will exceed SCAQMD thresholds during both types of operations due to
mobile trips. The City adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations finding that
significant adverse effects are acceptable because expected benefits of 2019 DSRT SURF Project
38
outweigh unavoidable adverse environmental impacts associated with the marginal increase in
daily NOx emissions. The Project has not substantially changed, and the adopted Findings apply
to the revised Project currently proposed. The proposed Precise Plan, as described above, will
reduce the number of hotel rooms and villas analyzed in the EIR, and will result in lower air
emissions than that analyzed in the EIR. The proposed Project will be subject to the Mitigation
Measures included in the EIR. Although impacts associated with NOx emissions may exceed
SCAQMD thresholds, the benefits of the Project, being equivalent to those analyzed in the EIR,
outweigh the impacts, and the revised Project can rely on the adopted Findings and Statement
of Overriding Considerations.
Consistency with Air Quality Management Plans
The proposed Project site is located within the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) and will be subject to
SCAQMD’s 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (2016 AQMP) and the 2003 Coachella Valley PM10
State Implementation Plan (2003 CV PM10 SIP). The AQMP is a comprehensive plan that
establishes control strategies and guidance on regional emission reductions for air pollutants.
The AQMP is based, in part, on the land use plans of the jurisdictions in the region.
The proposed Project and Specific Plan amendment are consistent with the General Plan land
use designation and approved 2019 Specific Plan. The 2016 AQMP is based in part on the land
use plans of local jurisdictions, including the City of Palm Desert’s General Plan. Therefore, it is
expected that the proposed Project will result in emissions consistent with those anticipated in
the 2016 AQMP. In addition, projects that are consistent with the projections of population
forecasts in the 2016 RTP/SCS are considered consistent with the AQMP. The proposed Project
is consistent with the City’s land use designations and would not impact population, as
employees of the proposed Project are expected to be residents of the City and region and the
villas are anticipated to be for vacation purposes and for permanent residents. The site’s land
use designation allows for permanent residency; therefore, the AQMP has already accounted for
a slight population increase for the site.
The proposed Project would be implemented in accordance with all applicable air quality
management plans to ensure impacts to air quality are reduced to the greatest extent possible.
Actions include, but are not limited to, the preparation of a standard dust control management
plan in compliance with the CVSIP.
In conclusion, consistent with the findings of the EIR, the proposed Project is consistent with the
assumptions underlying the AQMP and will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan. No impact is anticipated.
Health Impacts
The proposed Specific Plan does not increase land use intensities or change development
standards from those previously analyzed in the EIR, and therefore health related impacts are
anticipated to be the same or less intense. The EIR determined that the extent to which the
Project poses a health risk is uncertain but unavoidable. It is anticipated that impacts associated
with NOx will be less than than that analyzed in the EIR overall, and will only pose a significant
risk during summer special events due to the seasonal nature of Project activities, thus generating
fewer vehicle trips.
39
CO Hot Spot Analysis
A CO Hot Spot is a specific location where sensitive receptors are exposed to high localized
concentrations of CO. Motor vehicles, and traffic-congested roadways and intersections are the
primary source of high localized CO concentrations. SCAQMD recommends an evaluation of
potential localized CO impacts when a project causes the level of service (LOS) at a study
intersection to worsen from C to D, or if a project increases the traffic volume (or demand) to
capacity (V/C) ratio at any intersection rated D or worse by 2 percent or more. Level of Service
(LOS) is a qualitative measure used to define the performance of a roadway system. Currently,
the desired and optimal level of service for intersections and roadway segments within the City
is LOS C; however, LOS D is considered the generally acceptable service level.5
Although the EIR did not provide a specific discussion of CO Hot Spot analyses, impacts can be
inferred from results of the 2019 Project-specific Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA
determined that all 12 studied intersections were operating at acceptable LOS during one or
more peak hours, except for the intersection at Cook Street and Market Place Drive, which is
operating at LOS F during the PM peak hour only. The EIR determined that with installation of a
traffic signal (Mitigation Measure TRANSP-1), the Cook Street and Market Place Drive
intersection will operate at an acceptable LOS under all buildout scenarios. Expansion of the
eastbound left turn lane on Market Place Drive at Cook Street to a minimum of 165 feet
(Mitigation Measure TRANSP-2) would also reduce Project impacts at this intersection.
With mitigation, the EIR determined that none of the studied intersections would meet the
evaluation criterion for a hot spot analysis, and therefore, the DSRT SURF Project (2019 or
proposed) would not result in the creation of a CO hotspot. Therefore, sensitive receptors would
not be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations as the result of Specific Plan traffic, and
impacts would remain less than significant.
Nuisance Odors
The Project does not propose land uses that cause odor impacts, such as fast-food restaurants,
photographic studios, and laundry facilities, and other commercial and industrial uses. Odors may
be emitted from onsite restaurants and food service facilities; however, all facilities would be
equipped with proper ventilation systems to effectively remove grease, smoke, and other odors.
Similar to findings in the EIR, impacts related to nuisance odors would be less than significant and
no mitigation measures are required.
Summary of Impacts
Implementation of the Specific Plan amendment and proposed Project would not result in any
new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact than those
analyzed in the EIR. Overall impacts are expected to be less than those previously identified in
the EIR due to the reduction in overall development intensity and square footage proposed in
the Precise Plan. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project and Specific Plan
amendment would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously
identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.

3.4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The EIR included a comprehensive analysis of special-status and sensitive species, local habitats
and vegetation communities, and jurisdictional waters in the Project area, including the Project
site. The Project site lies at an elevation of 247 to 263 feet above mean sea level and is
surrounded by a mix of golf resort development, residential areas, and commercial operations of
the existing Desert Willow Golf Resort. It consists of three parcels: the two northern parcels
consist of existing parking lots and have no native vegetation, while the southerly 14.65-acre
parcel had been significantly impacted by development activities, including grading and the
installation of irrigation systems. This parcel did contain some native vegetation dominated by
brittle bush scrub. However, its disturbed condition results in poor quality native habitat.
The Project site is within the boundaries of the CVMSHCP/NCCP but is not within any designated
Conservation Area. The Project site does not contain wetlands or riparian areas and therefore no
impacts would occur.
Soils
According to the EIR, the Project site contains two distinct types of soils
• Myoma fine sand (MaB) – A nearly level soil (0 to 5 percent slopes) that is found on
alluvial fans, lacustrine basins, and flood plains of the Coachella Valley. This soil type
is found on nearly all of the Project site, except the southeasterly edge.
• Myoma fine sand (MaD) – A moderately sloping to rolling soil (5 to 15 percent slopes)
that is found on dunes and alluvial fans. This soil type is found along the southeasterly
edge of the Project site.
Vegetation Communities and Flora Species
A total of twenty-three (23) plant species were identified during the field survey, which occurred
on July 18, 2018. The vegetation that occurs on the project site most closely resembles Desert
Scrub, dominated by brittle bush scrub (Encelia farinosa). Other native plants observed include:
scattered broom baccharis (Baccharis sarothroides), California croton (Croton californicus),
scalebroom (Lepidospartum squamatum), Emory’s indigo bush (Psorothamnus emoryi), and
desert twinbugs (Dicoria canescens).
Wildlife
During the reconnaissance survey in 2018, a total of thirteen (13) vertebrate wildlife species
(twelve birds and one reptile) and eight dragonfly species were detected.
Among the bird species observed were western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), Berwick’s wren
(Thryomanes bewickii), common raven (Corvus corax), greater roadrunner (Geococcyx
californianus), and Costa’s hummingbird (Calypte costae). No nesting birds were detected. One
reptile, the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), was observed, and other common species,
41
including side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) and Great Basin whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris
tigris), not seen during the site survey are likely to occur in the survey area. None of these are
sensitive species.
Given the disturbed nature of the site, including conversion to asphalt parking areas, clearing,
and installation of irrigation systems, the site is an island of poor-quality habitat surrounded by
non-native developed areas. This results in poor habitat for native species, as many of these
species require natural habitats of better quality.
Sensitive Species
A literature review was conducted to identify sensitive biological resources known from the
Project vicinity. The results indicated that there is a potential for as many as 43 sensitive species
to occur in the Project vicinity. As indicated in the EIR, many of the species known to occur in the
general Project area are not expected to occur onsite or have “Very low” to “Low” occurrence
probabilities due to lack of habitat, incorrect elevational range, degraded nature of the site, or
other reasons. No sensitive species were observed or detected on the Project site during the
biological survey.
Project Impacts
Construction of the Project would result in the direct disturbance and/or removal of soils,
vegetation, and plant and animal species occupying the site.
Development of the surf lagoon and surf center will involve demolition of the existing parking
lot, grading of 11.85 acres, and construction of the lagoon, buildings, and associated
improvements. Development of the hotel and villas will result in grading and construction on 5.84
acres.
Off-site improvements, including those for stormwater management, golf course turf reduction
and overflow parking would all occur on areas current disturbed and containing ornamental
plantings.
The development of the Project will result in the disturbance of the entire site and areas where
there will be off-site improvements. Impacts to biological resources would be consistent across
all components of the proposed Project.
The EIR determined that due to the level of existing disturbance onsite from parking lot
development, grading, installation of irrigation systems, development of surrounding parcels,
and daily disturbances of human activity on the adjacent Desert Willow Golf Resort, there is a
low potential for the Project to adversely impact sensitive biological species. Furthermore, the
Surf Lagoon component of the Project will operate daily from 6 AM to 12 AM, resulting in
constant motion on the surf lagoon. This water activity, combined with the human activity
associated with surfers, will prevent water fowl from taking up residence in the Surf Lagoon.
No sensitive plant species were observed or detected on the Project site during the biological
field survey. The following sensitive plant species were found to have a very low or low potential
to occur on the Project site: 1) Coachella Valley milk-vetch, 2) Glandular ditaxis, 3) Abrams’
spurge, 4) Flat-seeded spurge, and 5) slender cottonheads. However, only marginally suitable
42
habitat occurs onsite, and due to the degraded nature of the site, Project-related impacts would
be less than significant. Further, Coachella Valley milk-vetch and Glandular ditaxis are covered
species under the CVMSHCP, and any Project-related impacts to them would be further mitigated
through the payment of standard CVMSHCP developer impact fees (EIR Mitigation Measure BIO-
1).
No sensitive wildlife species were observed or detected onsite during field surveys. The following
sensitive wildlife species were found to have a very low or low potential to occur onsite: 1) prairie
falcon, 2) loggerhead shrike, 3) black-tailed gnatcatcher, 4) burrowing owl, 5) vermilion
flycatcher, 6) pocketed free-tailed bat, and 7) Western yellow bat. However, their occurrence
potential is very low to low given a lack of suitable habitat onsite. Prairie falcon, loggerhead
shrike, and black-tailed gnatcatcher would have no to low potential for nesting due to lack of
suitable habitat, but could forage over the site. Pocketed free-tailed bat has a low potential to
forage over the site, but would not be expected to roost onsite due to the lack of roosting habitat.
In addition, Western yellow bat is a covered species under the CVMSHCP, and any potential
Project-related impacts to it would be mitigated through payment of standard CVMSHCP
developer impact fees.
The biologist determined that suitable burrowing owl habitat is present on the vacant portion of
the Project site, however the species was not detected during site surveys. A focused burrowing
owl survey was not performed as part of the survey effort. According to the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, projects not in a Coachella Valley MSHCP Conservation Area
(the proposed Project site is not in a MSHCP Conservation Area) do not require burrowing owl
protocol surveys, according to the Coachella Valley MSHCP Section 9, Burrowing Owl, page 9-
143. However, they are still required by law (DFW codes and MBTA) to avoid take of burrowing
owls. The EIR determined that Project-related impacts to the species will be mitigated through
implementation of EIR Mitigation Measure BIO-3 which requires pre-construction surveys to
identify any burrowing owls present onsite, and consultation with CDFW regarding the use of
exclusion devices, if appropriate, to minimize impacts to the species.
Special-status bird species which may nest in the Project area are protected from take by the
MBTA. Nesting bird surveys in compliance with the MBTA will mitigate any potential Project-
related impacts to these species (EIR Mitigation Measure BIO-2). The surveys would determine
whether nesting birds are present onsite immediately prior to site disturbance and, if present,
prohibit project-related work within avoidance buffers until the young have fledged.
Summary
The EIR determined that the 2019 Project would result in less than significant impacts to
biological resources with implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1 through BIO-3 set forth
in the EIR. Development conducted in adherence to these mitigation measures and existing
federal, state, and City regulations would ensure potential impacts are reduced to less than
significant levels.

BIO-1 Payment of CVMSHCP Fees
The Project proponent shall be required to pay the CVMSHCP local development
mitigation fee to mitigate for impacts to covered species and natural communities within
the Project site.
BIO-2 MBTA Compliance
For any grading or other site disturbance or tree or vegetation removal occurring during
the nesting season between February 1st and August 31st, a qualified biologist shall
conduct at least one nesting bird survey, and more if deemed necessary by the consulting
biologist, immediately prior to initiation of project-related ground disturbing activities. If
nesting birds are present, no work shall be permitted near the nest until the young birds
have fledged. While there is no established protocol for nest avoidance, when consulted,
the CDFW generally recommends avoidance buffers of about 500 feet for birds-of-prey,
and 100 – 300 feet for songbirds .
BIO-3 Burrowing Owl Surveys
A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl
surveys onsite. The first shall occur between 14 and 30 days prior to ground disturbance,
and the second shall occur within 24 hours of ground disturbance. If burrowing owls are
detected, the project proponent shall consult with CDFW to determine what course of
action is needed, such as the use of exclusion devices (if applicable) to discourage owls
from using burrows that are believed to be in jeopardy of being impacted by
implementation of the project.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan amendment and buildout of the currently
proposed Project would not significantly change impacts to biological resources, because the
Project site would be expected to be graded and fully disturbed under either the 2019 Project or
the proposed Project. The implementation of either Project would result in similar impacts, and
therefore less than significant impacts on biological resources with adherence to Mitigation
Measures BIO-1 through BIO-3 set forth in the EIR.
The Project does not propose a land use designation change that would convert protected or
open space lands to urban uses. The site is not located in a Conservation Area as defined by the
CVMSHCP, and is subject to the payment of mitigation fees as identified in the EIR.
The Project site does not contain wetlands or riparian areas, and is not suitable as a migratory
corridor because the site is surrounded by development on all sides. This would be true under
either the existing or proposed Project.
44
Off-Site Improvements
The Project does not propose changes to off-site improvements previously analyzed in the EIR.
Being that no changes are proposed, impacts associated with off-site improvements would be
the same as previously identified in the EIR. Buildout of off-site improvements would not result
in any new adverse impacts or significantly increase the severity of previously identified
significant impacts in the certified EIR. Therefore, impacts are considered less than significant.
Summary
Overall, the proposed Project will not result in any new significant impacts or increase the
severity of impacts already identified in the EIR with implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-
1 through BIO-3 set forth in the EIR. Development conducted in adherence to these mitigation
measures and existing federal, state, and City regulations would ensure potential impacts are
reduced to less than significant levels, consistent with the findings of the EIR.
3.5. CULTURAL AND TRIBAL RESOURCES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Historic Resources
According to the EIR, roughly 40% of land within the one-mile radius of the Project site had been
included in previous cultural resources studies completed over the past 30 years. Results of the
Eastern Information Center (EIC) records search identified a total of 2 recorded cultural resources
- one archaeological site and one isolate - within a one-mile radius of the site. Site 33-005080
(CA-RIV-5080) consists of small ceramic scatter and is located approximately a quarter-mile
northwest of the Project area. The isolate, 33-012698, is comprised of a pottery sherd and a mano
fragment located nearly three quarters of a mile to the northeast. Neither resource would be
impacted by the Project.
The previous cultural resource study that included the Project site was completed in 1993 and
involved an intensive-level survey of approximately 500 acres that now hold the existing Desert
Willow Golf Resort. The 1993 survey noted the remains of 15 buildings constructed between
1952 and 1960 as being within the surveyed site. Two of those buildings were located within the
currently proposed Project boundaries, but they were not formally recorded since they were less
than 45 years old at the time. These buildings were “jackrabbit homesteads,” a term used to
describe homes that were built rapidly as a result of post-WWII streamlining of the Small Tract
Act of 1938. The 2018 cultural resource site survey conducted for the 2019 Project found that
the two buildings and their remains are no longer visible onsite. The parking lot that is currently
onsite was built between 2009 and 2011, but the remainder of the property has remained
undeveloped. Therefore, the EIR determined that both on- and off-site improvements associated
with the 2019 DSRT SURF Project would have no impact on historical resources because no such
resources occur onsite.
45
Archaeological Resources
No archaeological resources were observed during the site-specific cultural resources field
survey, and none were found or recorded during previous surveys. The Project area is within the
traditional use area of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and the potential exists for
archaeological resources to be uncovered during ground-disturbing activities. The EIR found that
although the site has been previously graded, features or artifacts of prehistoric origin may be
uncovered during Project development, particularly since excavation for parking structure and
pool and lagoon backwash drainage structure construction will be at greater depths than
previously occurred. The EIR determined that this would represent a potentially significant
impact. To reduce the impact, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires educating construction
personnel about possible archaeological artifacts, human remains, and other cultural materials
that could be uncovered during construction activities, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15064.5.
If any of those materials are unearthed during construction, Mitigation Measure CUL-2 would
require further actions to secure those materials and assure their proper disposition. Overall, the
EIR found that impacts to archaeological resources pursuant to § 15064.5 would be mitigated to
less than significant levels through implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2.
Human Remains
The subject site and off-site improvement locations do not contain a formal cemetery; however,
it is within the traditional use area of Native American tribes, and the potential exists for human
remains to be unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, such as grading and excavation.
During site excavation, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that all
excavation stop, and that the County coroner inspect the site if remains are uncovered. Should
the remains be identified as Native American by the coroner, the NAHC is required to contact the
most likely descendant, and that descendant may recommend appropriate burial. This
requirement, reflected in Mitigation Measure CUL-3 in the EIR, would assure that impacts
associated with human remains are less than significant.
Tribal Resources
AB 52 and SB 18 require that the consultation process between local and tribal governments
begin prior to the release of an environmental impact report, negative declaration, or mitigated
negative declaration. On February 8, 2019, the City of Palm Desert distributed AB 52 and SB 18
consultation letters for the Project to each of the following 13 Native American tribes identified
by the NAHC as having traditional lands or cultural places within City boundaries. Written
responses were received from 2 tribes. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians deferred to the
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI), and the ACBCI requested copies of cultural
reports and site records.
Tribal representatives indicated that the site does not contain any tribal cultural resources.
However, the site is within the Traditional Use Area of the ACBCI. Therefore, the potential exists
for archaeological resources to be uncovered during ground-disturbing activities, including the
deep excavation required for the parking structure and pool and lagoon backwash drainage
structures. The inclusion of construction staff training, and the requirement for monitoring
should resources be identified, will reduce these potential impacts to less than significant levels
with implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2.
46
Summary
The cultural resources survey conducted for the DSRT SURF Project in 2018 evaluated a wide
range of literature, data, and information on historic, archaeological, and tribal resources that
has added to a baseline of knowledge and understanding of these resources. Tribal
representatives were contacted for their knowledge, input, and coordination regarding the
presence of tribal resources in the Project area. No historical resources were identified onsite as
listed or eligible for listing under the California Register of Historical Resources or the National
Register of Historic Places. No archaeological resources were identified onsite.
The potential for buried artifacts or resources to be unearthed during Project development exists;
however, potential impacts would be mitigated to less than significant levels through
implementation of mitigation measures.
Mitigation Measures
CUL-1 Worker Education Program: Prior to commencing any phase of Project ground
disturbance, all personnel working onsite shall be required to complete a worker
education program performed by a qualified archaeologist that describes potential
archaeological artifacts, human remains, and other cultural materials that could be
unearthed during the Project development process, and the procedures required in
the event such a discovery is made.
CUL-2 Monitoring: If buried cultural materials are encountered inadvertently during any
earth-moving operations associated with the Project, all work within 50 feet of the
discovery should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the
nature and significance of the finds. The archaeologist shall prepare a findings report
summarizing the methods and results of the investigation, including an itemized
inventory and detailed analysis of recovered artifacts upon completion of field and
laboratory work. The report shall include an interpretation of the cultural activities
represented by the artifacts and discussion of their significance. The submittal of the
report to the City and Tribal representative, as appropriate, along with final
disposition of the recovered artifacts in a manner consistent with determination of
the lead agency, Project archaeologist, and consulting tribes, will signify the
completion of the monitoring program and, barring unexpected findings of
significance, the mitigation of potential project impacts on cultural and tribal
resources.
CUL-3 Human Remains: Should buried human remains be discovered during grading or other
construction activities, in accordance with State law, the County coroner shall be
contacted. If the remains are determined to be of Native American heritage, the
Native American Heritage Commission and the appropriate local Native American
Tribe shall be contacted to determine the Most Likely Descendant (MLD).
47
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The majority of the proposed Project site is currently vacant, with the exception of the Desert
Willow parking lot at the northern portion of the site, and contains sparse native vegetation. The
proposed Project will disturb the same area of land as that analyzed in the EIR. Excavation activity
will be similar, and somewhat reduced from that analyzed in the EIR, insofar as the subterranean
parking garages proposed for the 2019 Project are not proposed under the current Precise Plan.
No historical, archaeological, or tribal resources were identified during the 2018 site survey.
Development under either the 2019 Project or proposed Project would result in grading of the
entire site, disturbance of off-site improvement locations, and equivalent earth moving activities.
Impacts would therefore be identical under either condition. Should cultural resources be located
on the site during grading and excavation, the impacts to these resources would be considered
significant. In order to reduce these impacts to less than significant levels, the proposed Project
will be required to implement Mitigation Measures CUL-1 through CUL-3 set forth in the EIR.
Consultation was undertaken by the City for the proposed Project, and one letter was received
from the ACBCI, requesting copies of the cultural resources reports. The Tribe was sent the
reports and the EIR, and no further communication has occurred. The Tribe was satisfied with
the mitigation measures provided in the EIR, insofar as they would mitigate any potential
resources uncovered during Project construction.
Summary
Overall, the proposed Project will not result in any new significant impacts or increase the
severity of impacts already identified in the EIR. Development conducted pursuant to the
mitigation measures set forth in the EIR, and in adherence to existing federal, state, and City
regulations will ensure potential impacts associated with cultural resources are reduced to less
than significant levels.
3.6. ENERGY
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Primary energy sources include nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal and natural gas) and
renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. These primary sources are
converted to electricity, a secondary energy source, which flows through power lines and other
transmission infrastructure to developments.
Electricity
The Project site is located within the SCE service area which covers approximately 50,000 square
miles and serves approximately 4.4 million residential service accounts and 520,000 commercial
service accounts. The California Energy Commission estimated that the total electricity
consumption for Riverside County was 15,906.31 million kWh in 2017.6 According to the Palm
6 California Energy Commission - California Energy Consumption Database for Riverside County, total electricity
consumption for 2017.
48
Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update, city-wide electricity usage in Palm Desert in 2013 was
756,834,386 kWh7. This includes all electricity consumed by municipal buildings, residential,
commercial, and industrial land uses, and resorts and golf courses, combined. The report had not
been updated at the time of the EIR, and a more recent estimate was not available. However, it
can be assumed that current (2019) electricity usage per capita will be comparable to 2013, if not
less, due to the increased energy efficiency standards of the California Building and Energy Codes.
Currently, the Project site is predominantly undeveloped and not using any electricity. A
negligible amount of electricity is used by pole-mounted lights in the existing parking area. SCE
distribution lines are located in proximity to Project site, from Portola Avenue, bordering Desert
Willow Resort on the west, through Desert Willow Westin Villas, and along the northerly
boundary of the Project site toward Desert Willow Drive and the existing clubhouse.
Electricity consumed during Project construction of both on-site and off-site improvements
would vary throughout the construction period based on the construction activities being
performed. Activities requiring electricity could include powering outdoor security or worksite
lighting, operation and charging of electronic equipment, and powering a temporary worksite
office or trailer. Such electricity demand would be temporary, nominal, and would cease upon
the completion of construction. Overall, electricity will not be the primary energy source used
during construction. Instead, the use of equipment fuels such as diesel and petroleum will be the
primary energy source, and impacts from consumption of electricity during construction would
be less than significant.
During operation of the Project, energy would be consumed for multiple purposes including, but
not limited to, heating/ventilating/air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, lighting, electronics,
office equipment, residential and commercial machinery (including kitchen appliances), and
swimming pool operations, including wave generation at the surf lagoon. Off-site improvements
are limited to utility infrastructure expansion and landscaping improvements. Such
improvements will not generate an operational demand for electricity and therefore have no
impact on the electrical grid.
According to the CalEEMod outputs and Lagoon specific utility data8, the 2019 Project would
consume approximately 21,711,725 kWh per year of electricity. This represents a 2.87% increase
in annual city-wide kWh usage. The 2019 Project proposed the installation of solar panels onsite
which could generate an estimated 1,700,000 kWh per year. Operation of the solar panels will
offset the Project’s electrical demand, thereby reducing it to approximately 20,011,725 kWh per
year, which represents approximately 2.64% of the city’s total annual electricity demand. In
addition, adherence to current California Building Code and Energy Code standards will ensure
the most energy efficient technologies and practices are used for the development and operation
of the Project. The EIR determined the 2019 Project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or
7 Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013 Update.
8 Per the Project-specific lighting plan, pole/tower lighting for the lagoon will have a max load of 39 kw for 7 hours
per day (night lighting) for 365 days per year, totaling 99,645 kWh/yr. The average wave machine requires a
maximum average load of 1,622 kw for 18 hours a day for 365 days per year, totaling 10,656,540 kWh/yr.
49
unnecessary consumption of electrical energy resources during project operation. Construction
and operation-related electricity impacts associated with the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels,
villas, and off-site improvements would be less than significant.
Natural Gas
According to the Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update, city-wide natural gas
consumption totaled 17,532,930 therms in 20139. This includes natural gas consumed by
residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, and resorts and golf courses. The report had
not been updated at the time of the EIR, and a more recent estimate was not available. However,
similar to statewide predictions, it can be assumed that the annual consumption of natural gas
per capita within the City of Palm Desert would be comparable to 2013 or would decline. The
Project site does not currently consume any natural gas.
Construction of the 2019 Project typically would not involve the consumption of natural gas.
Construction would, however, involve installation of new natural gas connections to serve the
Project site. Prior to ground disturbance, Project contractors would notify and coordinate with
SoCalGas to identify the locations and depths of all existing gas lines and avoid disruption of gas
service. The use of natural gas during Project construction would not be wasteful, inefficient, or
unnecessary. Construction-related impacts to natural gas supplies and infrastructure were
determined to be less than significant.
Operation of the Project would consume natural gas for heating, cooking, and powering
equipment such as furnaces. According to the CalEEMod outputs and Lagoon specific utility data,
operation of the Project at buildout would consume approximately 331,811 therms per year of
natural gas, which is equivalent to a 1.89% increase in annual City-wide therm usage. Adherence
to current California Building Code and Energy Code standards would ensure the most energy
efficient technologies and practices are used for the development and operation of the 2019
Project. The EIR found that the Project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary
consumption of natural gas energy resources during project operation.
Transportation Energy
According to the Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update, there were 510,875,864 vehicle
miles traveled in Palm Desert in 2013. This includes both the municipal fleet and community-
wide miles traveled. It should be noted that the original 2008 inventory reported an annual VMT
of 368,694,193, which represented a 35% increase in VMTs but only a 2% increase in CO2e
emission. This difference in emissions is attributed to increased vehicle fuel efficiency standards
meaning less fuel energy is required for increased VMTs. The undeveloped portion of the Project
site currently generates no VMT.
Fuel consumed by construction equipment, such as petroleum and diesel, would be the primary
energy resource expended over the course of construction, and VMT associated with the
transportation of construction materials and construction worker commutes would also result in
petroleum consumption. Heavy-duty construction equipment associated with construction

50
activities, as well as haul trucks involved in moving dirt around the project area, would rely on
diesel fuel. Construction workers would travel to and from the project area throughout the
duration of construction. The EIR assumed that construction workers would travel to and from
the project area in gasoline-powered vehicles.
According to the CalEEMod outputs generated for air quality analysis, it was assumed that worker
trip lengths were 11 miles, vendor trip lengths 5.4 miles, and hauling trip lengths 3.5 miles. Based
on the number of trips required to complete project construction that were generated by the
CalEEMod software, combined VMTs for workers, vendors, and hauling would be 39,732 miles.
Overall, petroleum and diesel use during construction would be temporary and minimal and
would not be wasteful or inefficient. Construction-related transportation energy impacts
associated with the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas, and off-site improvements would be
less than significant.
During operation, the 2019 Project would result in the consumption of petroleum-based fuels
related to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. According to the Project-specific traffic
analysis, the Project was estimated to generate 5,496 daily vehicle trips under typical daily
operations, and 7,288 daily vehicle trips during a special event. Daily visitors will include a mix of
local residents and out of town visitors. For analysis purposes, the EIR assumed that the average
daily trip length was 25 miles. This accounts for local residents who are estimated to travel
approximately 15 miles to the Project site from within the Coachella Valley, and out of town
visitors who are estimated to travel further to the Project site from outside the valley. Based on
this estimate, the Project could potentially generate 12,213,217 VMTs. This represents a 2.4%
increase in City-wide VMTs. It should be noted that VMTs are regional in nature, and that not all
Project VMTs will occur solely within the City’s boundaries.
Although the 2019 Project will result in a direct increase in VMTs, the EIR found that the Project
will not interfere with increased fuel efficiency standards and will not result in wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of transportation energy resources during operation.
Impacts were determined to be less than significant.
State and Local Energy Efficiency Plans
The 2019 Project would be designed, built and operated in accordance with all existing,
applicable regulations that would serve to reduce energy demand and avoid conflict with any
applicable energy standards, including energy conservation standards. Such regulations and
standards included the 2016 Building Code, California Green Building Code, and 2019 Energy
Code to ensure the most efficient construction/building technologies are used, which will benefit
overall building operations. The 2019 Project included the installation of solar panels to reduce
energy use in the surf center and might include solar installation in the hotel and villa component.
The EIR found that the Project will not interfere with any state or local plan that promotes
renewable energy or energy efficiency. Adherence to the applicable state standards enforced by
the City will ensure the project is consistent with current energy standards and conservation
goals. Therefore, no impact related to compliance with applicable energy standards would result.
51
Summary
For the reasons described above, the EIR determined the 2019 DSRT SURF Project would not
place a substantial demand on regional energy supply or require significant additional capacity,
or significantly increase peak and base period electricity demand, or cause wasteful, inefficient,
and unnecessary consumption of energy during project construction, operation, and/or
maintenance, or preempt future energy development or future energy conservation. Therefore,
this impact would be less than significant.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Electricity
Under both buildout scenarios (2019 and proposed), electricity would be consumed during
construction and would vary throughout the construction period based on the construction
activities being performed. Such electricity demand would be temporary, nominal, and would
cease upon the completion of construction.
During operation, electricity will be used for multiple purposes including but not limited to air
conditioning, lighting, electronics, refrigeration and other kitchen appliances, powering the
lagoon machinery, equipment and ancillary facilities. The EIR analyzed maximum buildout
potential under the 2019 Specific Plan, and because the Project does not propose changes to the
Specific Plan that would increase development intensities and maximum buildout potential,
electricity impacts would be comparable to those analyzed in the EIR.
The Precise Plan would result in a 27% reduction in commercial space, 71% reduction in
restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square footage. Therefore,
demand for electricity generated by the proposed Precise Plan would further reduce future
energy demands of the site. Adherence to current California Building Code and Energy Code
standards, which are more stringent than those in place when the EIR was prepared, will ensure
the most energy efficient technologies and practices are used for the development and operation
of the Project. The Project reduces the use of electricity analyzed in the EIR, and therefore
impacts remain less than significant.
Natural Gas
Construction of the Project site under any buildout scenario typically would not involve the
consumption of natural gas. Construction would, however, involve installation of new natural gas
connections to serve the Project site, and would be required under both buildout scenarios. As
determined in the EIR, the use of natural gas during construction would not be wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary.
Operation of the proposed Project would consume natural gas primarily for heating and cooking
and powering equipment such as furnaces. The EIR analyzed maximum buildout potential under
the 2019 Specific Plan, and because the Project does not propose changes to the Specific Plan
that would limit or increase development intensities and maximum buildout potential, natural
gas impacts would be comparable to those analyzed in the EIR.
52
The Precise Plan would result in a 27% reduction in commercial space, 71% reduction in
restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square footage. Therefore, it can
be assumed that demand for natural gas would further reduce future energy demands of the
site. Adherence to current California Building Code and Energy Code standards will ensure the
most energy efficient technologies and practices are used for the development and operation of
the Project. The Project reduces the amount of natural gas analyzed in the EIR, and therefore
impacts remain less than significant.
Transportation Energy
Under both buildout scenarios (2019 and proposed), transportation energy would be consumed
during construction and would vary throughout the construction period based on the
construction activities being performed. During construction, petroleum and diesel would be the
primary fuel source consumed by construction equipment, material hauling equipment, and
worker commutes. It is assumed that construction equipment would consume the most diesel
fuel, while worker commutes would consume the most gasoline traveling to and from the project
area in their private vehicles. Similar to assumptions made in the EIR, it is expected that most
construction workers will live locally, which would minimize the need for long commutes and
limit fuel consumption. Overall, petroleum and diesel use during construction of both on-site and
off-site improvements would be temporary and minimal and would not be wasteful or inefficient.
During operation, the Project would result in the consumption of petroleum-based fuels related
to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. The EIR analyzed maximum buildout and
operational potential under the Specific Plan, and because the Project does not propose changes
to the Specific Plan that would limit or increase daily operations or special events, impacts from
vehicular travel would be comparable to those analyzed in the EIR. Development plans for the
proposed Precise Plan would result in 258 fewer hotel rooms and 5 fewer residential villas than
those assumed for maximum site buildout, which would reduce VMTs. The Precise Plan reduces
the vehicle trips analyzed in the EIR, and therefore impacts associated with transportation energy
will remain less than significant.
Summary of Impacts
Buildout of the site would be subject to the same General Plan policies, programs, and current
SCAQMD Rules and Regulations analyzed in the EIR. Implementation of the proposed Project
would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified impact as
analyzed in the EIR. Overall impacts are expected to be less than those identified in the EIR due
to the reduction in overall building space proposed in the Precise Plan. Therefore,
implementation of the proposed Project and Specific Plan amendment would not result in any
new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the
Certified EIR.
53
3.7. GEOLOGY/SOILS
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The Project area is located in the Colorado Desert Geomorphic Province. More specifically, the
City is located within the central portion of the Coachella Valley where elevations range from
approximately 5,100 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) in the Santa Rosa Mountains, to a low of
about 60 feet AMSL in the Bermuda Dunes area. The City is primarily located on the desert floor,
at an elevation of approximately 250 feet AMSL.
Fault Rupture (Primary Seismic Hazard)
The Project planning area is located within the central portion of the Coachella Valley, which is a
rift valley associated with the San Andreas Fault System in Southern California. The valley is
located in the northwestern portion of the Salton Trough, a tectonic depression roughly 130 miles
long and 70 miles wide that extends from the San Gorgonio Pass to the Gulf of Mexico.
No portion of the City is located within a fault zone, as defined by the Alquist-Priolo Act. Based
on information from the California Geological Survey, no known major active faults are located
in the City. According to the EIR, the closest active faults to Palm Desert are the San Andreas fault,
located approximately 4 miles to the north; the San Jacinto fault, located 10 miles to the
southwest; and the Elsinore fault, located 30 miles to the southwest. These faults are capable of
generating earthquakes of magnitude >5.0; however, fault rupture is not expected on the Project
site
Seismic Groundshaking (Primary Seismic Hazard)
The Project site is located in a seismically active region where earthquakes originating on local
and regional seismic faults can produce severe ground shaking. Although no active faults run
through the City, Palm Desert’s soils and geologic characteristics result in other potential
secondary seismic hazards. The Modified Mercalli Intensity scale describes the magnitude of an
earthquake in terms of actual physical effects. Six historic seismic events (M 5.9 or greater) have
significantly affected the Coachella Valley region in the past 100 years.
To address seismic hazards, the City has codified the 2016 CBC in Municipal Code Section
15.24.010, which requires that structures be designed with adequate strength to withstand the
lateral dynamic displacements induced by the Design Basis Ground Motion, which the CBC
defines as the earthquake ground motion that has a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years.
The Project is required to comply with the CBC and all California seismic design requirements,
which would ensure that it would not expose persons or property to significant injury or damage
from strong seismic ground shaking hazards.
To further minimize ground shaking and strengthen the building foundations, the site-specific
Geotechnical Investigation Report for the 2019 Project included several recommendations,
included as mitigation measures in the EIR. Implementation of mitigation measures GEO-6 and
GEO-7 will ensure adequate uniform structural support for enclosed walls during strong seismic
groundshaking events. GEO-10 requires appropriate Asphalt Concrete Pavement design and
54
construction measures to minimize potential damage to proposed structures if strong seismic
ground shaking is encountered. GEO-13 requires compaction of up to 90% to minimize cracking
of concrete flatworks.
Adherence to the CBC, California seismic design requirements, the City’s Municipal Code, and the
mitigation measures set forth in the EIR would ensure potential impacts related to seismic
groundshaking would be less than significant.
Expansive and Collapsible Soils (Primary Seismic Hazard)
Expansive soils, also referred as swelling soils, are soils that have a tendency to increase in volume
with an increase in the moisture content. These soils swell when water is added to them and
shrink when they dry out. Foundations with swelling soils will heave and can cause lifting of a
building or structure when the moisture content rises. This can ultimately lead to the failure of
foundations and structures. No specific expansive soil area is identified in the City.
Collapsible soils are unsaturated soils that exhibit a high strength when dry but experience a large
and rapid volume reduction upon saturation, which can result in substantial structural damage.
Alluvial and aeolian sediments in the City have the potential for settlement and collapse even
under relatively low loads. The surface soils on the Project site consist of silty sand, which has
very low collapse potential.10
The site is located on relatively flat ground but could be subject to slope instability, collapse, or
slumping during an earthquake, particularly in areas where excavation would be required,
including both the subsurface parking garage and pool and Lagoon backwash drainage structures,
and the surf lagoon. In order to minimize the potential for collapse, instability or slumping,
mitigation measures GEO-1 through GEO-5 will assure that soil is clean, adequately compacted,
and that excavated slopes remain stable during a seismic event. Due to a lack of expansive soils
onsite, the proposed Project would not create a substantial risk to life or property. With
implementation of these mitigation measures, the EIR found that impacts will be reduced to less
than significant levels.
Subsidence
In the Coachella Valley, the main source of ground subsidence has been associated with the
pumping of groundwater. Beginning in the late 1940s, pumping of groundwater resulted in
water-level declines of as much as 15 meters. Since 1996, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and
Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) have investigated land subsidence associated with
groundwater level declines. Results show that the land surface subsided about 220 to 600
millimeters (0.72 to 1.97 ft) in three areas of the Coachella Valley near Palm Desert, Indian Wells,
and La Quinta; the subsidence is associated with areas of substantial and on-going groundwater
pumping.11 The potential for groundwater extraction-related ground subsidence is considered to

be limited due to reduction in pumping in these areas and replenishment of regional
groundwater aquifers with imported water.
As discussed in the EIR, the surf lagoon and surf center facilities would require approximately
88.32 AFY of domestic water and the hotel and villas portion of the site would require
approximately 76.89 AFY of water, for a total of 165.21 AFY. After applying the water demand
offsets associated with implementation of the proposed turf reduction program at the Desert
Willow Golf Course (106.75 AFY), the net total water demand for the Project is expected to be
58.46 AFY.
The EIR identified that the Project will provide water for the surf lagoon in one of three ways:
installation of a new groundwater well at the southeastern corner of the site; connection to the
existing Desert Willow groundwater well located south of the site near Country Club Drive; or
utilization of the potable water from CVWD. Water demand for the surf lagoon is 73.04 AFY,
which represents 0.00025% of total water in storage. If the Project installs a new groundwater
well on the site, the groundwater well will be metered and in compliance with requirements of
the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Other components of the Project will be
connected to CVWD’s water distribution system. If the Project connects to the existing Desert
Willow groundwater well located south of the site near Country Club Drive, then the project
would require construction and extension of underground pipes to supply approximately 73.04
AFY per year. Otherwise, CVWD would provide approximately 73.04 AFY per year of water for
the surf lagoon.
Overall, the EIR determined that no excessive withdrawal of water was anticipated at the site,
and the potential for subsidence was considered low. Consequently, impacts from subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse would be less than significant.
Soils and Geologic Units
According to the EIR, the majority of the City is underlain by fine drained sand of alluvial and
aeolian deposition. During the Project-specific Geotechnical Investigation, approximately 2 to 3
feet of fill/disturbed soil was encountered whose composition and appearance varied throughout
the depth of bores; however, density increased with depth. The artificial fill and native sandy soil
encountered at the site are generally dry throughout and grayish brown in color.
Wind/Soil Erosion Hazard
The City of Palm Desert faces exposure to potential erosion hazards due to wind. Due to sparse
desert vegetation, little groundcover exists to hold materials in place which accelerates the soil
erosion at the surface. The sand dunes along Interstate 10 and the Whitewater River are the two
most significant sources of wind-blown sand in the city. The subject site is not located in proximity
to these areas, however the Project site is located in an area with a Very High Wind Erodibility
rating.12

The EIR found that the Project would include demolition of the existing parking lot, excavation,
site preparation, grading, paving, building construction, off-site improvements and other ground
disturbance by heavy machinery that could result in the loss of some topsoil and generate
particulate matter. Grading and construction activities would occur in accordance with erosion
control requirements, including dust control measures, imposed by the City pursuant to grading
permit regulations. Specifically, project construction would be required to comply with the City’s
Municipal Code Section 27.28.09013, including submittal and approval of grading permits to
ensure that the project does not generate excessive soil erosion. City Municipal Code Sections
24.12.01014 and 24.20.05015 require preparation of a fugitive dust (PM10) mitigation plan and
compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards prior to and
during construction. Furthermore, Policy 1.13 (Soil Erosion) of the City’s General Plan requires
the prevention of water-born soil erosion from new development especially during grading
activities.16
A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)17 was prepared for the Project which included Best
Management Practices (BMPs). These BMPs would be implemented during grading and
construction to reduce sedimentation and soil erosion, and in compliance with City standards.
Mitigation measures GEO-16 through GEO-18 were also provided to specifically address and
mitigate the potential for soil erosion through watering or covering soils, and by prohibiting
construction activities during significant storms or wind events. In addition, project construction
contractors would be required to comply with City grading permit regulations18, which require
dust control measures to reduce sedimentation and erosion.19 Compliance with regulatory
requirements, implementation of PM10 mitigation plan, NPDES, and BMPs, and mitigation
measures GEO-16, GEO-17, and GEO-18 would reduce potential impacts to less than significant
levels.
Landslides (Secondary Seismic Hazard)
The Project site is currently partially developed and does not contain unstable soils or geologic
units. No fissure or other surficial evidence of subsidence was observed at the Project site. Based
on the Geotechnical Investigation Report for the 2019 Project, the site is not susceptible to on-
or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse; this is due to on-site
conditions, distance from sloping terrain and foothills, and depth to groundwater.
Mitigation measure GEO-3 of the EIR required use of engineered fill free of unstable soil at the
site to reduce potential risks associated with lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse for all components of the project. The EIR found that implementation of this mitigation
measure would reduce impacts to less than significant levels.

57
Liquefaction (Secondary Seismic Hazard)
Liquefaction occurs primarily in saturated, loose, fine to medium-grained soils in areas where the
groundwater table is generally 50 feet or less below the surface. The site-specific Geotechnical
Investigation Report for the 2019 Project indicated that the depth to groundwater is greater than
200 feet beneath the surface of the subject property, and therefore, onsite liquefaction is
unlikely.20 Therefore, potential impacts related to liquefaction would be less than significant.
Seiches and Tsunamis
A seiche is defined as “an occasional and sudden oscillation of the closed water body (enclosed
water body, lake, bay, estuary, etc.) producing fluctuations in the water level.” There are many
causes of seiches, for example, wind, earthquakes, and changes in barometric pressure. The
seiche hazard in the valley includes above-ground water reservoirs, golf course lakes and other
impoundments. Domestic water reservoirs in the valley have been constructed to resist the
effects of groundshaking that could compromise the integrity of these structures. The EIR found
that the proposed surf lagoon will contain approximately 23,798,770 gallons of water and could
present a seiche hazard; potential impacts were analyzed in the Hydrology Section, below.
Wastewater Disposal Systems
Soils in the project area are capable of supporting septic tanks. However, the 2019 Project did
not propose septic tanks. Therefore, the EIR found that there would be no impacts associated
with subsurface waste disposal systems.
Paleontological Resources
Paleontological resources are the remains and/or traces of prehistoric life, exclusive of remains
from human activities, and include the localities where fossils were collected and the
sedimentary rock formations from which they were obtained. In the Coachella Valley,
paleontological resources are associated with the Lake Cahuilla sediments which generally
consist of freshwater mollusks. The project site contains Quaternary-age alluvium in the
subsurface which has an unknown paleontological resource sensitivity. The Project site is not
known to contain unique paleontological features; however, construction activities have the
potential to reveal Quaternary-age alluvium. To reduce the potential impacts to paleontological
resources due to excavation activities, Mitigation Measure GEO-15 is provided in the EIR. A
qualified paleontologist would be required to evaluate any buried paleontological materials
discovered during earth-moving operations at the site to reduce Project impacts to less than
significant levels.
Summary of Impacts
Overall, the EIR found that adherence to the CBC, California seismic design requirements, the
City’s Municipal Code, site specific Geotechnical Report, and the mitigation measures set forth in
the EIR (and herein) would ensure potential impacts related to geologic hazards would be less
than significant.

GEO-19 Prior to ground disturbing activities, all employees at the construction site shall be
trained in earthquake preparedness and identify safe places near the construction site
to facilitate emergency evacuation.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The site would be fully developed, regardless of buildout scenario (2019 or proposed Project).
The entire site will be disturbed, and the same mitigation measures associated with stabilizing
soils and assuring adequate geotechnical design would apply to the proposed Project. The EIR
analyzed maximum buildout potential under the Specific Plan. The proposed Specific Plan
amendment would not increase the maximum development intensities, including site density
and building heights, and therefore the Project would not generate new significant impacts or a
substantial increase in previously identified impacts associated with geology and soils. Instead,
impacts would less intense due to the reduction in building square footage, hotel rooms, and
villas associated with the Precise Plan.
Adherence to the City’s Municipal Code, General Plan policies, Project-specific Geotechnical
Report, and mitigation measures contained in the EIR would result in less than significant
impacts, consistent with the findings of the EIR. Mitigation measures will apply to the currently
proposed Project. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project and Specific Plan
amendment would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously
identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.8. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS & ENERGY
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Construction of the 2019 Project was anticipated to occur over a two-year period starting in mid-
2019 with build out in mid-2021. Project components are listed below; during construction of
each component, fossil fuel use by construction equipment, machinery, haul trucks, and
employees’ commuter vehicles will generate short-term GHG emissions.
• Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
• Hotel and Villas
• Off-Site Improvements:
o Stormwater Management
61
o Pool/Lagoon Discharge
o Golf Course Turf Reduction
o Landscaping Improvements
o Special Events Parking
o Soil Removal/Storage
The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), version 2016.3.2, was used to estimate
Project-related GHG emissions during construction. The results are summarized in the following
table. GHG emissions will be temporary and will end once construction is complete. All
components of construction, including equipment, fuels, and materials, will be subject to current
regulations of GHGs and equipment efficiency standards, which are meant to reduce GHG
emissions. Construction emissions were amortized over a 30-year period and added to annual
operational emissions to be compared to applicable GHG thresholds

TOTAL 2,460.5 0.33 0.00 2,469.58
Table 2.8-1 of EIR.
Operational emissions will occur throughout the life of the Project. At buildout, five emission
source categories will contribute either directly or indirectly to operational GHG emissions:
energy/electricity usage, water usage, solid waste disposal, area emissions (pavement and
architectural coating off-gassing), and mobile sources. CalEEMod was used to estimate annual
operational GHG emissions generated by the Project under two scenarios: 1) typical operations,
and 2) special event operations. The table below shows daily emissions for a one-day special
event. For analysis purposes, it was assumed that 12 special events would be held per year.
Special event emissions have been added to typical operation emissions and amortized
construction emissions, as shown below.

Table 2.8-s of EIR..
The EIR assessed Project impacts using the SCAQMD tiered test approach, which states a project’s
greenhouse gas emissions would be considered significant if it could not comply with at least one
of the following “tiered” tests:
Tier 1: Is there an applicable exemption?
Does Not Comply: The proposed Project does not qualify for an applicable
exemption under CEQA.
Tier 2: Is the project compliant with a greenhouse gas reduction plan that is, at a
minimum, consistent with the goals of AB 32?
Does Not Comply: Although the City of Palm Desert has an adopted
Environmental Sustainability Plan which is consistent with AB 32, the Project
would not comply with Tier 2 because the Plan is not a CEQA certified document.
SCAQMD requires that the “greenhouse gas reduction plan,” in this case the
Sustainability Plan, have a certified Final CEQA document.
Tier 3: Is the project below an absolute threshold (10,000 MTCO2e/yr for industrial
projects; 3,000 MTCO2e/yr for residential and commercial projects)?
Does Not Comply: The proposed Project is considered a commercial project and
is estimated to emit 18,048.97 MT of CO2e annually.
Tier 4: Is the project below a (yet to be set) performance threshold?
Does Not Comply: There are currently no performance thresholds applicable to
the proposed Project to measure against.
Tier 5: Would the project achieve a screening level with off-site mitigation?
Does Not Comply: The off-site mitigation proposed for the Project (Turf Reduction
Plan) will offset water demands, but will not reduce Project GHG emissions to
achieve a screening level.
The Project did not comply with any of the tiered tests presented above, and would therefore
have significant and unavoidable impacts associated with GHG emissions. However, Mitigation
Measure GHG-1 assured that the Project would adhere to the Palm Desert Environmental
Sustainability Plan21, and its implementation would help reduce GHG emission impacts. In
addition, all new development within the City is required to implement energy efficiency design
21 It should be noted that adherence to the Environmental Sustainability Plan, which is consistent with AB 32,
would not comply with Tier 2 because the Plan is not a CEQA certified document. SCAQMD requires that the
“greenhouse gas reduction plan,” in this case the Sustainability Plan, have a certified Final CEQA document.
63
requirements consistent with the California Green Building Standards Code. Nonetheless, the EIR
determined that the GHG emissions generated by the 2019 DSRT SURF Project were cumulatively
considerable and significant and unavoidable. In its consideration of the EIR, the City determined
that the social and economic benefits of the Project outweighed the severity of these impacts,
and Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted.
Consistency with Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plans
All components of construction and operation, including equipment, fuels, materials, and
management practices, would be subject to current SCAQMD rules and regulations related to
greenhouse gases. The Project will also adhere to the required state Low Carbon Fuel Standard
for construction equipment and heavy-duty vehicle efficiency standards.
Construction-related GHG emissions would not exceed GHG thresholds for construction because
no such thresholds have been established. However, because the Project would result in
significant and unavoidable impacts, as discussed above, the EIR determined that the Project
would conflict with GHG reduction goals because operation of the Project would either exceed
or not comply with SCAQMD’s interim tiered thresholds. By exceeding such thresholds, the
Project is contributing to GHG emissions at a level that is not conducive to reducing state and
local GHG emissions. Although implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1 will assure the
Project complies with the Palm Desert Environmental Sustainability Plan, the EIR determined that
impacts were considered significant and unavoidable. As described above, the City determined
that the social and economic benefits of the Project outweighed the severity of these impacts,
and Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted.
Mitigation Measures
GHG-1 The Project shall implement the policies of the Palm Desert Environmental Sustainability
Plan applicable to its development. The Project shall adhere to the following principals,
goals, and actions:
• Adherence to California Building Code, Title 24;
• Assess potential for light-colored surfaces and shading to reduce urban heat island
effect;
• Incorporate solar power;
• Use water efficient technologies to reduce water waste;
• Require mandatory waste diversion of 100% inert and 75% other debris from
residential, commercial, and construction debris;
• Promote programs that replace turf with native low water-use plants, trees, ground
cover and “hard-scapes,” including the redesign of golf courses to reduce the amount
of irrigation required;
• Use “desert style landscaping” and require “time-of-use” irrigating to reduce
evaporation.
64
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The Specific Plan amendment does not limit or change the maximum potential buildout
assumptions made in the EIR, and therefore impacts of maximum buildout potential of the site
under the proposed Specific Plan would be virtually the same as those analyzed in the EIR.
The Precise Plan would result in a 27% reduction in commercial space, 71% reduction in
restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction in hotel and villa building square footage, a 14% reduction
in parking and the same off-site improvements compared to maximum buildout assumptions
analyzed in the EIR. Because the entire site would be graded and constructed upon, GHG
emissions associated with construction of the Precise Plan would be equivalent to those analyzed
in the EIR. Operational emissions associated with buildout of the Precise Plan would be less than
those previously analyzed in the EIR due to the reduction in overall development density and
building square footage.
Implementation of the Specific Plan amendment and proposed Project would not result in any
new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact as analyzed in
the EIR. Overall impacts are expected to be less than those previously identified in the EIR due to
the reduction in overall development intensity and square footage proposed in the Precise Plan.
Impacts are expected to remain significant and unavoidable, however, because of the number of
vehicle trips and energy use associated with the proposed Project. Because the Specific Plan and
proposed Project are consistent with the analysis of the EIR, however, the Findings and
Statement of Overriding Considerations which applied to the 2019 Project are applicable to the
currently proposed Project.
3.9. HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health Hazardous Materials Branch is
responsible for overseeing the six hazardous materials programs in the County, including in the
City of Palm Desert. The County-wide Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team consists
of personnel from the Riverside County Fire Department and Environmental Health HazMat
Program staff. This team responds jointly to hazardous materials incidents in the County and any
CalFire-contracted city, including Palm Desert. The City implements regular consultation with the
State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) and Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB), and also monitors and regulates industrial plants and commercial areas through the
City’s Municipal Code.
Areas with Potential Hazardous Materials Contamination
SWRCB maintains an online database (GeoTracker) which includes information on existing
locations of hazardous waste sites and their status. According to the GeoTracker database at the
time the EIR was prepared, 40± sites within the City were either listed or permitted as hazardous
material sites under the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). No hazardous
material site was recorded at the Project site.
65
Government Code Section 65962.5 requires the California Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC) compile and regularly update a list of hazardous waste sites, known as the Cortese
List. No properties in the Planning Area were identified on the DTSC’s Cortese List.
Transportation of Hazardous Materials
Major transportation corridors such as Highway 111 or Interstate 10 (I-10) may be used to
transport hazardous materials and represent accident risks that could result in releases of
hazardous materials. The City does no designate specific haul routes for hazardous materials;
however, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) must be notified when acutely toxic hazardous
materials are transported.
Airports
The Bermuda Dunes Airport (UDD) is a privately owned public use airport located 5 miles east of
the Project site in the Palm Desert sphere of influence (SOI) and offers charter flights, hangar
rentals, and a flight school. The Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is located approximately
9 miles west of the City and is the largest and primary air transportation link for the region.
Schools
The Project site is within the Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD) service boundary. The
nearest elementary school is James Earl Carter Elementary School, located approximately 1.10
miles southwest of the project site. No school sites are located within a quarter mile of any
component of the proposed Project.
Wildfire
The City of Palm Desert is exposed to fire-related hazards from two potential sources: wildfires
and fires that occur in urban settings. Wildfire hazards are highest in areas of the community
near the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Southern portions of the City are susceptible to the risk
of wildland fires. To reduce the wildfire risk, the City has adopted an emergency response plan
which established procedures for fire conditions. The Project is located in the urban core of the
City, and more than three miles from an area of wildland fire potential.
Emergency Response and Evacuation Routes
The primary emergency evacuation routes in the City of Palm Desert include I-10, Highway 111,
Monterey Avenue, Portola Avenue, Cook Street, and Washington Street. The project site is
located between Portola Avenue and Cook Street, which provide access in an emergency for the
majority of the central city. The project is not proposing to modify any City roadway.
Project Impacts
Construction of the 2019 Project, including both on- and off-site improvements would involve
the temporary use of potentially hazardous materials, including vehicle fuels, paints, oils, and
transmission fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and
used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and handled in compliance with
applicable federal, State, and local regulations. Any associated risk would be adequately reduced
to a less than significant level through compliance with these standards and regulations.
66
Operational activities that would occur at the site would involve the use of limited quantities of
hazardous materials. The surf lagoon would use cleaning equipment and chemicals to maintain
the pH levels for surfers. The hotel and residential units would also involve use of limited
quantities of hazardous materials such as cleaning and degreasing solvents, fertilizers, pesticides,
and similar materials. These chemicals will be transported and stored within the project site in
limited quantities and will not require a hazardous material handling/storage permit. Quantities
stored at the site would be comparable to typical commercial uses, and would be regulated by
State and local law, including Fire Department regulations requiring proper storage and
inspection. These regulations, including those imposed by both the County of Riverside and the
Fire Department, are designed to lower impacts to less than significant levels. Therefore, the EIR
determined that long-term impacts would be less than significant.
Access for emergency vehicles would be maintained throughout Project construction and
operation. Appropriate traffic management and control plans would be followed pursuant to
mitigation measures TRANSP-15 through -19 in the EIR (see the Transportation and Traffic
Section). During normal operations, the Project will not impact existing evacuation routes, as it
does not propose any change in the street grid. Emergency access to the site will be provided via
the internal loop road, and an emergency access point will be located at Willow Ridge Road, in
addition to the two public access points onto Desert Willow Drive.
Special events would occur on-site, increasing traffic on major roadways such as Country Club
Drive, Portola Avenue, Cook Street, and Frank Sinatra Drive. However, this increase in traffic will
not cause significant deterioration in roadway operations, as described in the Project TIA. In
addition, to control the traffic on these roads, a Special Event Traffic Management Plan would be
prepared for each special event., as described in Mitigation Measures TRANSP-5 though -14 in
the EIR. With implementation of these measures, daily operations and special events would not
physically interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans. The EIR determined that
impacts would be less than significant with implementation of these mitigation measures.
The EIR determined that the Project site is not within the land use plan for the Bermuda Dunes
Airport, and would have no impact on its operations. The EIR further determined that the Project
site is located on the valley floor, and not subject to wildfires.
The EIR determined that with the imposition of mitigation measures relating to traffic operations
at and surrounding the site, and compliance with and enforcement of existing federal, state, and
local laws and regulations concerning the handling, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials
impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels
Mitigation Measures
See Mitigation measures (TRANSP-5 through TRANSP -14 and TRANSP -15 through -19) provided
in Section 3.16.
67
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Currently (2021) within the City there are no hazardous waste sites listed on the Cortese List and
there are no LUFT sites listed in proximity to the Project site per the SWRCB GeoTracker.
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The proposed Specific Plan amendment would not result in changes to development intensities
or densities that would increase the severity of impacts, therefore impacts associated with the
proposed Specific Plan would be the same as those analyzed in the EIR.
Buildout of the revised Precise Plan has the potential to result in a 27% reduction in commercial
space, 71% reduction in restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square
footage, a 14% reduction in parking and the same off-site improvements compared to maximum
buildout assumptions analyzed in the EIR. Therefore, construction and operational emissions
associated with buildout of the Precise Plan would be less intense than those previously analyzed
in the EIR due to the reduction in overall development density and building square footage, and
a parallel reduction in the less than significant impacts identified in the EIR would occur.
Implementation of proposed Specific Plan amendment and revised DSRT SURF Project would not
result in any new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact as
previously analyzed in the EIR. Overall impacts are expected to be less than those previously
identified in the EIR due to the reduction in hotel rooms, residential density, and overall building
square footage proposed in the Precise Plan. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project
would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously identified
significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.10. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The City of Palm Desert is located at the southwesterly boundary of the Colorado River Hydrologic
Region (HR) in the Whitewater River Hydrologic Unit (HU) and falls under the jurisdiction of the
Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 7). Within the Whitewater River
Hydrologic Unit, the Project site lies in the Whitewater River watershed.
Surface Water and Drainage Patterns
The Whitewater River is the principal drainage course in the Coachella Valley; it is typically dry,
but flows southeasterly when it carries water. The Whitewater River has a total drainage area of
approximately 850 square miles and drains areas as far away as the summit of Mount San
Gorgonio and the steep southern and eastern slopes of Mount San Gorgonio. The majority of
local surface water is derived from runoff from the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains
with lesser amounts from the Santa Rosa Mountains. This runoff either percolates in the
streambeds or is captured in mountain-front debris basins where it recharges the groundwater
basin.
68
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and the Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District are responsible for the management of regional drainage within and in the
vicinity of Palm Desert, including rivers, major streams and their tributaries, and areas of
significant sheet flooding. Topographically, the Project site consists of flat terrain with a gradual
slope toward the south.22 Stormwater percolates into ground surface soils or sheet flows to the
south. There are no streams or rivers onsite.
The 2019 Project would alter existing drainage patterns both on- and off-site, but proposed
stormwater management improvements were designed to adequately manage Project drainage
such that the Project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation.23 The designed drainage
system met all standards of rainstorm protection as adopted by the City of Palm Desert. Drainage
waste areas are already available off-site to retain the 100-year storm event, and there will be
no adverse impact, because the Desert Willow drainage plan was designed to accommodate all
100 year storm flows throughout the development. The Project drainage plans integrate into
the existing Desert Willow drainage program, and tie into the existing facilities to the northwest
and southeast of the site. The 2019 Project also included a WQMP which provides for BMPs to
control erosion and sedimentation entering the proposed drainage pipes. These requirements,
to be implemented by mitigation measure HYD-1, will assure that impacts associated with
erosion and siltation are reduced to less than significant levels.
Off-site improvements would be undertaken to City standards, including storm water BMPs
included in both WQMP(s) and SWPPP(s) for these parts of the Project. Because these off-site
improvements will be subject to mitigation measure HYD-1 and HYD-2, and with City
requirements for the protection of surface waters, impacts associated with off-site
improvements will be reduced to less than significant levels.
Groundwater
The Whitewater River Groundwater Basin underlies the valley which generally extends from the
Whitewater River in the northwest to the Salton Sea in the southeast. The aquifer is naturally
subdivided by fault barriers into subbasins, which are further divided into subareas. Desert Water
Agency (DWA) and the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) jointly utilize and manage a
replenishment program for the local groundwater basin, the Upper Whitewater River Subbasin.
Estimates of groundwater storage in the Upper Whitewater River Subbasin range from 10.5 to
14.2 million acre-feet. In total, the subbasins underlying the Coachella Valley contain
approximately 39.2 million acre-feet of water in storage, of which about 28.8 million are within
the Whitewater River Subbasin. Natural recharge from precipitation and runoff, supplemented
with artificial recharge from imported Colorado River, State Water Project water, and recycled
water from wastewater treatment plants also provide water to the Coachella Valley.
The Project site is located within the CVWD service area, where urban water demands are
estimated to grow from 114,600 AFY in 2020 to 194,300 AFY in 2040. The Project would require
approximately 88.32 AFY of water at buildout of both the lagoon and surf center and
22 Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Sladden Engineering in 2018 (Page 2).
23 Preliminary Hydrological Report for Tentative Tract Map No. 37639 – DSRT SURF prepared by The Altum Group,
December 3, 2018.
69
approximately 76.89 AFY of water for the Hotel and Villas Planning Area, resulting in a total
demand approximately 165.21 AFY of water at buildout. This is approximately 0.14 percent of
CVWD’s anticipated 2020 total urban water demand of 114,600 AF, and approximately 0.09
percent of CVWD’s anticipated 2040 total urban water demand of 194,300 AF. After applying the
water demand offsets associated with implementation of the proposed turf reduction program
at the Desert Willow Golf Course (106.75 AFY) provided in Mitigation Measure HYD-4, the net
total water demand for the Project is expected to be 58.46 AFY. This represents approximately
0.05 percent of the total projected water supply of 114,600 AF for 2020, and would represent
0.03 percent of the total projected water supply of 194,300 AF for 2040.
The EIR determined that water demands for off-site improvements would be negligible and
primarily associated with temporary construction activities. Less than significant impacts are
expected.
The Project will provide water for the lagoon in one of three ways: installation of a new
groundwater well at the southeastern corner of the site; connection to the existing Desert Willow
groundwater well located south of the site near Country Club Drive; or utilization of potable
water from CVWD. Water demand for the lagoon is projected to be approximately 73.04 AFY per
year. If the Project installs a new groundwater well on the site, then approximately 73.04 AFY of
groundwater would be extracted every year for the surf lagoon. The groundwater well will be
metered and in compliance with requirements of the Regional Water Resources Control Board
(RWRCB). Other components of the Project will be connected to CVWD’s domestic water
distribution system. If the Project connects to the existing Desert Willow groundwater well
located south of the site near Country Club Drive, then the Project would need construction and
extension of underground pipes to supply approximately 73.04 AFY per year. Otherwise, CVWD
would provide water for the lagoon.
As described in the EIR and WSA, CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the demands of
the Project for the next 20 years and the 2019 Project, including off-site improvements, will not
substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge such that
there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level.
Flood Hazards and Stormwater Runoff
Stormwater flows and flash flood runoff from the Indio Hills and the foothills of the San Jacinto
and San Bernardino Mountains generate flooding hazards in the City. The majority of the
northern portion of the City, north of I-10, is located within the 100- or 500-year flood zone. The
Project site is not located within the 100- or 500-year flood zone.24 According to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), the site is located in
Zone D, which represents “areas in which flood hazards are undetermined, but possible.” No
Project structures would be placed within a 100-yr flood hazard area such that flood flows would
be impeded or redirected.
24 Palm Desert General Plan, City of Palm Desert, 2016 – Figure 8.4.
70
Construction impacts due to development of the entire Project area, including off-site
improvements, would be minimized through compliance with the General Construction Activity
Stormwater Permit, including implementation of a SWPPP and the MS4 Permit. The 2019 Project
would not alter a floodway in a manner that would redirect or impede flow during construction,
and impacts will be less than significant.
The Project’s planning areas are divided into four sub-areas, from where storm water will be
conveyed to three existing drainage waste areas via underground pipes. These pipes will be
constructed to City standards, and will carry storm flows after they have been treated by the Best
Management Practices (BMPs) specific to the Project site per the Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP).
Based on the hydrological analysis discussed in the EIR, the existing drainage waste areas and
lake in the Desert Willow Golf Course have adequate capacity to accommodate projected flows
from all components of the 2019 Project. While the Project would increase the amount of
impervious surfaces on the site, the proposed drainage plan includes well-connected drainage
areas that would retain runoff during storm events, allowing it to be released in a metered
fashion that can be accommodated by the storm drain system.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) mandates that plans and programs
for stormwater management be developed, adopted, and implemented to assure that
municipalities “effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharge into storm drains, and requires
controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants from stormwater systems to waters of the United
States to the maximum extent possible.” The City of Palm Desert is a co-permittee with the
County of Riverside, CVWD, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and
municipalities in the Whitewater River subbasin for NPDES management. The Palm Desert Public
Works Department manages the City’s NPDES program.
The Project site, including off-site improvements, is not in a flood hazard or tsunami inundation
zone and would not be subject to inundation by a flood or tsunami. In addition, the surf lagoon
would be a reinforced concrete structure to contain the seismically-induced oscillations within
the lagoon without any structural damage to result in spill over or release of pollutants. Less than
significant impacts are anticipated.
Overall, the Project would generate runoff due to increased amounts of impervious surfaces;
however, it is not anticipated to create or make a significant contribution to runoff which would
exceed the capacity of the existing storm drain system within the Desert Willow Golf Course and
add substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. With compliance with the MS4 Permit, and
implementation of Mitigation Measures HYD-1 through HYD-3, the operational impacts would be
less than significant.
Water Quality
Groundwater quality in the Coachella Valley varies with depth, proximity to faults and recharge
basins, presence of surface contaminants, and other hydrogeological or human factors. CVWD
conducts water quality monitoring in accordance with federal and state drinking water
71
requirements and analyzes water samples for more than 100 regulated and unregulated
substances. Based on the most current water quality report available at the time of the EIR
(CVWD 2017-2018), drinking water delivered from CVWD’s potable water system supplied from
groundwater wells complied with all state and federal drinking water quality regulations.25
Two naturally occurring substances, arsenic and chromium-6, are among the over 100
constituents that are monitored in the Coachella Valley’s groundwater supply. CVWD treats some
of its groundwater wells to reduce arsenic and chromium-6 levels in the drinking water supply
and is conducting ongoing water treatment efforts to reduce chromium-6 levels delivered from
groundwater wells.
The Project is required to comply with a number of regulations designed to reduce or eliminate
construction-related water quality effects, including the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES), which will regulate stormwater discharges to surface waters during construction
of the lagoon and surf center. Adherence to NPDES protocols will protect the quality of surface
waters from potential construction-related impacts. A Preliminary Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP) was prepared for the proposed Project which includes Best Management Practices
(BMPs) specific to the Project site. Mitigation Measures HYD-1 and HYD-3 will effectively reduce
or avoid the discharge of any pollutants of concern that might enter nearby receiving waters by
establishing limits of construction and the use of a variety of standard practices. Implementation
of these mitigation measures will minimize impacts to surface water quality without substantially
degrading surface or groundwater quality.
In order to assure that sediment and silt are controlled, mitigation measures HYD-1 and HYD-2
were provided in the EIR, requiring the implementation of WQMP BMPs and the stabilization of
exposed soils. These mitigation measures will assure that impacts to water quality related to
sediments will be reduced to less than significant levels.
The EIR determined that buildout of the 2019 Project would increase the amount of impervious
surface area, thereby increasing the total volume and peak discharge rate of stormwater runoff
and associated pollutants. At Project buildout, runoff from the lagoon and surf center could
contain pollutants common in urban runoff, including metals, oils and grease, pesticides,
herbicides, nutrients, pet waste, and garbage/litter. Without BMPs to remove these pollutants,
stormwater leaving the lagoon and surf center site could degrade the quality of receiving waters.
To reduce urban runoff impacts associated with potential pollutants, the city’s General Plan
contains policies with requirements that address surface water quality impacts. For example, the
City requires on-site stormwater retention and infiltration to improve stormwater quality and
reduce flows into the storm drain system. Furthermore, the City of Palm Desert Municipal Code
Chapter 24.20 establishes requirements for stormwater and non-stormwater quality discharge
and control by prohibiting discharges of pollutants or waters containing pollutants that cause or
contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards
25 Coachella Valley Water District 2017-2018 Water Quality Report Annual Review Report.
72
The surf lagoon will be a “self-treating area,” which will be required to meet water standards for
users. Water from the lagoon will be treated prior to discharging to the artificial lake located
south of the golf course via an evacuation line. According to the hydrological map, the surf center
and associated parking structure are located in sub-drainage areas 3 and 4. Stormwater from
sub-drainage areas 3 and 4 would be conveyed to two existing drainage waste areas located
northwest and southeast of the site within the Desert Willow Golf Course. The hotel and villas
are located in sub-drainage areas 1 and 2. Stormwater from sub-drainage area 1 would be
conveyed to an existing drainage waste area located northwest of the site within the Desert
Willow Golf Course. Whereas stormwater from sub-drainage area 2 will be conveyed to an
existing drainage waste area located south of the site within the Desert Willow Golf Course.
The 2019 Project also proposed a system of underground tanks, pipes and drywells to convey
and control daily pool and lagoon backwash discharge. This system will consist of holding tanks,
connected to the pools or lagoon and drywells connected by pipes at four locations. The
anticipated daily discharge could be as high as 4,000 gallons per day, but is expected to average
2,200 gallons per day. The backwash will enter the tanks, where sediments and debris will be
removed, treated as needed, and released in a metered manner to the drywells. The drywells will
drain the water into the soil, for eventual recharge. The system would be regulated by the City
and the RWQCB, and would be required to meet all required water quality standards. These
requirements will assure that the backwash system will not exceed water quality standards, and
impacts are expected to be less than significant.
The 2019 Project, including off-site improvements, would be required to comply with NPDES
regulations and the BMPs set forth in the Project-specific WQMP, which minimize the pollutant
load associated with urban runoff during construction and operation of the 2019 Project. The
Project is within the CVWD’s boundaries requiring that it meet water quality requirements in the
production and delivery of domestic water and sewage management. The imposition of
conditions of approval, local, and state standard requirements and the requirements of the law
will assure that the Project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements. With the implementation of Mitigation Measures HYD-1 through HYD-4, Project
impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
HYD-1 BMPs, as described in the Project-specific WQMP, shall be implemented to ensure
that water quality impacts resulting from the Project meet the City’s NPDES
standards.
HYD-2 Exposed soil from excavated areas, stockpiles, and other areas where ground
cover is removed shall be stabilized by wetting or other approved means to avoid
or minimize the inadvertent transport by wind or water.
HYD-3 The Project shall be subject to NPDES Construction General Permit requirements.
73
HYD-4 The Turf Reduction Program shall be completed prior to the issuance of
certificates of occupancy for the surf center.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
Buildout of the proposed Precise Plan would result in a 92 room hotel, 12,323 square foot surf
center and associated facilities, 83 residential units and a 5-acre surf lagoon, which is a less
intense development than maximum buildout of the Specific Plan. The EIR analyzed the
maximum buildout potential of the site under the Specific Plan. Therefore impacts associated
with the less intense Precise Plan would be within the envelope of impacts already evaluated in
the approved EIR and a subsequent EIR or WSA is not required. After applying the water demand
offsets associated with implementation of the proposed turf reduction program at the Desert
Willow Golf Course (106.75 AFY), the net total water demand for the proposed Project is
expected to be 7.6 AFY due to the reduction in overall development density and building square
footage. (see section 3.17 Utilities). This represents approximately 0.006 percent of the total
projected water supply of 114,600 AF for 2020, and would represent 0.004 percent of the total
projected water supply of 194,300 AF for 2040.
A Project-specific WQMP and Preliminary Hydrology Report were prepared for the proposed
Project. According to the Hydrology Report, storm drain runoff generated from the Project site is
designed to be conveyed to the adjacent East and South Golf Course via an underground storm
drain piping system in a similar manner to the systems employed by existing adjacent resort
developments. As with the 2019 Project, the surf lagoon will act as a “self-treating area” since no
rainfall tributary to the Lagoon is intended to be directed to the existing golf course waste areas.
Areas immediately adjacent to the Lagoon will be designed to carry storm runoff away from the
Lagoon, into the storm drain system that leads to the proposed drywells and to the existing golf
course. The proposed Surf Lagoon is designed to be evacuated annually using the series of
drywells designed to collect storm water runoff for the project site toward the East and South
Golf Course within Desert Willow Resort where it will infiltrate into the soils, consistent with the
planned annual maintenance analyzed in the EIR.
Summary
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the
severity of a previously identified significant impact as previously analyzed in the EIR. Water
demand will be reduced based on the reduced intensity of development proposed in the Precise
Plan. Development of the site would increase the amount of impervious surfaces in the City under
both buildout scenarios. The Project will be required to comply with all City regulations, and
control the 100-year storm on-site. The Project will also be required to prepare SWPPP and
WQMP documents to prevent surface and ground water pollution. Buildout of the site is required
to comply with local and state regulations, and policies set forth in the General Plan update that
pertain to the protection of local hydrology and water quality. The currently proposed Project
will be required to comply with the same mitigation measures identified in the EIR, to assure that
impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
74
Overall impacts are expected to be similar to, or less than, those previously identified in the EIR.
Therefore, implementation of the Specific Plan amendment and buildout of the DSRT SURF
Project would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously
identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.11. LAND USE/PLANNING
Summary of Findings in the EIR
General Plan Consistency
The Project site is designated as Resort and Entertainment District on the City’s General Plan Land
Use Map, which allows theme parks, hotels, sports facilities, bed and breakfast inns, recreational
facilities, small retail, large retail, and lodging, support retail, and commercial services along with
specialized entertainment with a commercial floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.10, and multi-family
residential land uses of up to 10 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). The City’s Zoning Map
designates the site as Planned Residential (PR-5), allowing 5 DU/AC. The NSSP allows for a
“Luxury Hotel” with a maximum of 500 rooms. The Project site is located within planning area 10
(PA 10) of that plan and is designated for hotel and resort development.
The site was partially developed with an existing surface parking lot and is located within the
Desert Willow Golf Course. The Desert Willow development includes two championship golf
courses, the Firecliff Course and Mountain View Course, as well as residential and resort
developments. The following describes lands surrounding the Project site.
• North: Desert Willow Golf Course, Clubhouse and a parking lot
• South: Desert Willow Golf Course
• East: Desert Willow Golf Course and Desert Willow Drive
• West: Desert Willow Golf Course, the Westin Desert Willow Villas, Willow Ridge
Drive.
All lands adjacent to the site are currently designated as Resort and Entertainment and developed
as golf course except the Westin Desert Willow Villas to the southwest of the subject
development site. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan proposed a mix of entertainment, recreation,
commercial, and resort residential development uses consistent with those described in the
General Plan and NSSP. The EIR provided a consistency analysis of all applicable goals, policies
and programs contained in the General Plan. The findings of that analysis considered the Project
as a whole. To summarize the consistency analysis, the EIR determined the Project site was an
appropriate location for mixed used development of the type proposed, and all components of
the Project were found to be consistent with the City’s General Plan and NSSP.
Municipal Code and Zoning Consistency
The City’s Zoning Map designates the site as Planned Residential (PR-5), allowing 5 units per acre.
The Planned Residential zone also allows for the development of hotels with approval of a
75
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) but prohibits the development of “Commercial Recreation
Facilities” (Section 25.10.030-Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements). Commercial
Recreation Facilities are defined as “any use or development either public or private, providing
amusement, pleasure, or sport, which is operated or carried on primarily for financial gain.”
Municipal Code Section 25.10.40 (Specific Use Standards), however, inconsistently states that
Commercial Recreational Facilities are permitted in the PR zone with approval of a Conditional
Use Permit “when not related to a permitted residential development.” This portion of the
Zoning Ordinance would allow the proposed surf lagoon with approval of a CUP. This
inconsistency is rectified through preparation of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan.
The 2019 Specific Plan would supersede the current zoning designations on the Project site and
will guide the development of the Project overall. The 2019 Specific Plan set forth the planning
principles, land use policies, development standards, and design guidelines for the proposed
development, and on-site and off-site public improvements. The Specific Plan addressed
maximum development densities as shown in the Table below. All development on the Project
site is required to adhere to the standards

The 2019 Project also included a Precise Plan, Tentative Tract Map and a Development
Agreement.
The design, and development standards of the proposed Surf Lagoon Planning Area would be
regulated through the 2019 Specific Plan and a Precise Plan based on City Municipal Code Section
25.72.030 (Precise Plan). The Surf Lagoon Planning Area was designed in accordance with the
2019 Specific Plan and is therefore consistent with the Municipal Code and zoning standards. A
Precise Plan further defines and implements the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan by
providing specific designs and plans that ultimately regulate the construction of the surf lagoon
and surf center. Additional Precise Plan application(s) would be required for the hotel and villa
development proposed in Planning Area II.
The following Table breaks down the Precise Plan land uses for the Surf Lagoon Planning Area.
Overall, the EIR found the Surf Lagoon Planning Area to be consistent with applicable municipal
code and zoning regulations through adherence to the 2019 Specific Plan, thus resulting in no
adverse impacts.

The design, and development standards of the Hotels and Villas Planning Area would be
regulated through the 2019 Specific Plan. Prior to approval, a Precise Plan for the Hotels and
Villas Planning area would be submitted to the City for review per City Municipal Code Section
25.72.030 (Precise Plan). The City would review the Precise Plan for consistency with the Specific
Plan to ensure the Hotels and Villas Planning area development is consistent with the Municipal
Code and zoning standards, thus resulting in no adverse impacts.
77
Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP)
The City of Palm Desert is a signatory to and participates in the implementation of the CVMSHCP.
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the CVMSHCP but is outside the
boundaries of any of the Plan’s Conservation Areas. Lands not developed prior to 1996 are
subject to the payment of a Development Mitigation Fee to mitigate impacts of urban
development to covered species. The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated
Conservation Area; thus, the implementation of the 2019 Project would not conflict with the
provisions of an adopted habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or
other related plans designed to avoid an environmental impact.
Overall, the EIR determined that the 2019 DSRT SURF Project would have a less than significant
impact to land use or land use planning.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The proposed Specific Plan amendment does not propose an increase to overall land use
densities or development standards. As a result, the consistency identified in the EIR with the
General Plan’s policies and programs also applies to the currently proposed Project. The
proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the previously approved 2019 Specific Plan and
development of the proposed Project will be in accordance with the requirements of the Specific
Plan and other applicable regulations, including payment of the CVMSHCP development impact
fee and the implementation of its standards. The Precise Plan is consistent with the revised
Specific Plan, and proposes development that will meet or exceed the development standards in
the Specific Plan. As the Specific Plan acts as the zoning document for the Project, the Precise
Plan will be consistent with the City’s zoning standards, since it meets of exceeds the Specific
Plan development standards.
Summary
Implementation of proposed Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity
of a previously identified significant impact previously analyzed in the EIR. Overall impacts are
expected to be similar to those previously identified in the EIR. Therefore, implementation of the
proposed Project and Specific Plan amendment would not result in any new adverse impacts or
increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.12. MINERAL RESOURCES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
The City of Palm Desert is located in an MRZ-3 zone, which is a classification indicating the area
has known mineral deposits that may qualify as mineral resources (MRZ-3a), or the area may
have inferred deposits which may qualify as mineral resources (MRZ-3b). Mining has not
historically occurred within the planning area, thus the EIR determined that mineral resources
are present, but the significance of the resource is considered speculative. There are no active
mining sites in the City, nor are there future mining sites designated in the General Plan.
78
Mineral Resources was not discussed in the EIR because the Initial Study/Notice of Preparation
determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result of the proposed Project
Analysis of the Proposed Project
The currently proposed Project occurs on the same site as that analyzed in the EIR. The land uses
proposed in the Specific Plan are the same as those in the 2019 Specific Plan. The Project does
not propose mining activities and there are no mining land uses or activities in the vicinity. The
land is not planned for mining activities, and no impact will occur as a result of the currently
proposed Project.
Implementation of proposed Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity
of a previously identified significant impacts in the Initial Study/Notice of Preparation for the
Project. Consistent with the Certified EIR, there will be no impacts to mineral resources.
3.13. NOISE
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Primary sources of noise in the City include traffic, freeways, and major roadways. The City has
the authority to set land use noise standards and place restrictions on private activities that
generate excessive or intrusive noise. However, I-10 is under the purview of the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA). The FHWA has developed noise standards that are typically used for
federally funded roadway projects or projects that require either federal or Caltrans review.
Land uses that are sensitive to noise include, but are not limited to, residences, schools, libraries,
churches, hospitals and nursing homes, and destination resort areas. Least sensitive to noise are
heavy commercial and industrial uses, transportation, communication and utility land uses.
Project-Wide Off-Site Traffic Noise Impacts
The Noise Impact Analysis prepared for the 2019 Project established criteria for potential noise
impacts based on a number of sources, including the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code,
where standards were available, and on outside sources, where the City had no standard. In these
cases, the noise study established noise impact thresholds based on the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, and the Riverside County General Plan, respectively.
The Noise Impact Analysis considered the impacts of the 2019 Project’s traffic on off-site
locations to determine whether the Project would impact noise levels off-site. The analysis
considered current (2018-2019) noise levels, Existing Off-Site Noise Contours, and then added
ambient growth (increased traffic due to the anticipated annual growth in traffic volumes), as
well as growth based on approved cumulative projects (projects approved and/or under
construction). The trips added to the regional road system by the 2019 Project were then added,
to determine the level of impact in 2022, which was the anticipated opening year for the Project.
79
Based on a comparison of 2022 without and with Project conditions, the EIR analysis determined
the 2019 Project would not significantly increase off-site noise levels associated with the Project’s
increases in traffic within the area surrounding the proposed site.
Project-Wide Operational Impacts
The 2019 Project would generate noise from commercial recreational activities, hotel activities,
and villa activities. These were analyzed to determine the level of noise that would be created by
typical project activities, and the impacts of these activities on surrounding sensitive receptors.
The EIR determined that the impact of typical project activities on surrounding sensitive
receptors will be less than significant during both daytime and nighttime hours, when compared
to the significance criteria thresholds.
Construction Noise Impacts
Construction noise from development and redevelopment projects would be short term and
exempt during the hours of 7:00 a.m.to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays.
The General Plan Noise Element includes policies to limit exposure of noise sensitive land uses to
excessive noise levels from point sources, including construction activities. In addition, future
development projects are required to conduct project-level noise analysis.
Construction of all 2019 Project components would require the use of heavy equipment for the
demolition of the existing on-site parking lot, Project site preparation/excavation, installation of
new utilities, and building fabrication. Construction activities would also involve the use of
smaller power tools, generators, and other sources of noise. During each stage of construction,
a different mix of equipment would be operating, and noise levels would vary based on the
amount of equipment in operation and the location of the activity.
Six locations where sensitive receptors currently occur were analyzed in the EIR with distances
ranging from 10 feet to 1,705 feet from the Project site. The noise analysis prepared for the 2019
Project further considered whether the project noise levels would exceed the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standards for construction noise standards. Those
standards consider a noise level in excess of 85 dBA Leq to be significant. Based on this threshold,
noise levels affecting sensitive receptors closest to the Project were found to be less than
significant.
Any increase in noise levels during construction would be temporary in nature, would occur
during daytime hours, and would not generate continuously high noise levels. In addition, the
construction noise during the heavier initial periods of construction (i.e., excavation and grading
work) would typically be reduced in the later construction phases (i.e., interior building
construction) as the physical structure would obstruct the line-of-sight noise emitting from the
construction area. Therefore, overall, the EIR determined that impacts would be less than
significant during the construction phase of the lagoon and surf center, hotels and villas, and off-
site improvements.
80
Operational Noise Impact
The City of Palm Desert has developed exterior land use compatibility standards that rate
compatibility using the terms normally acceptable, possibly acceptable, and normally
unacceptable, and also provide standards for interior acceptable noise levels. These standards
also establish maximum interior noise levels for new residential development, requiring that
sufficient insulation be provided to reduce interior ambient noise levels to 45 dBA CNEL/Ldn.
In addition to the noise normally associated with commercial recreational activities, described
above under “Project-wide Operational Impacts,” the Surf Lagoon will include equipment used
to generate waves. It is also anticipated that at build out, surf competitions and other special
events would be organized at the site. During recreational/competitive surf and other events,
amplified musical equipment could be used. Notable noise generating activities include surf
lagoon/wave machine activity, outdoor game activities, and special events/outdoor event
activity.
The dominant noise sources attributable to the lagoon and surf center planning area are the wave
generating machine and special events outdoor activities. Based on the analysis in the EIR, the
noise levels of 83.6 and 66.8 dBA at 50 feet would attenuate to 49.2 dBA Leq at the closest
sensitive receiver. None of the project components is expected to exceed the City’s exterior noise
level standards for either daytime or nighttime conditions at any of the sensitive receivers.
Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The dominant noise sources in the Hotel and Villas Planning Area would be vehicular traffic
accessing the site, grounds maintenance equipment, heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) units, and outdoor swimming pool/spa activities which could reach up to 57.8 dBA Leq at
50 feet. Based on the Project’s noise impact analysis, the City’s noise standards allow outdoor
noise levels of 65 and 55 dBA CNEL in the commercial area during the day and night times,
respectively. None of the project components is expected to exceed the City’s exterior noise level
standards for either daytime and nighttime. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The EIR also determined that all noise-related impacts associated with the construction and
operation of the off-site improvements would be less than significant.
Groundborne Vibration
Both the planning areas and off-site improvements analyzed in the EIR were expected to be
constructed in phases, over a two-year period. Construction activities such as grading activities,
construction equipment and trucks hauling project materials would have the potential to
generate low levels of ground-borne vibration within the Project area.
The EIR found that construction vibration velocities would reach up to 0.009 inches per second
RMS. The threshold for construction vibration velocity in Riverside County is 0.01 inches per
second RMS. Construction vibration velocities at all six locations would be below the threshold
and therefore were considered less than significant.
81
According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), construction vibration levels ranging from
0.12 to 0.5 inches per second PPV are damaging for buildings. As discussed in the EIR, Project-
related construction vibration levels would reach up to 0.013 inches per second PPV, which is
below the 0.12 inches per second PPV. Therefore, a less than significant impact was anticipated.
At buildout, no operational components of the 2019 Project would generate significant
groundborne noise or vibration sources and no significant vibrations sources currently exist, or
are planned, in the Project area. Thus, no significant groundborne noise or vibration impacts
would occur with the operation of the 2019 Project.
The EIR also determined that all groundborne vibration impacts associated with the construction
and operation of the off-site improvements would be less than significant.
Summary of Impacts
The EIR determined that noise impacts resulting from adoption and implementation of the 2019
Project, including all Project components, would be less than significant and would not require
mitigation. Results of the Noise Study show that adding the 2019 Project’s noise levels to future
noise levels would not result in an adverse cumulative noise increase as defined by the Noise
Element at the closest sensitive receptor location, because of the low project noise levels and
distance. Therefore, the proposed Project’s contribution to area-wide noise levels would not be
cumulatively considerable.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Currently, the Project site is partially developed with an existing surface parking lot where the
noise sources include vehicles traveling to and from the golf course. Other noise sources in the
vicinity of the golf course include stationary noise sources in existing residential and commercial
areas such as pool and spa equipment or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) units.
Temporary noise sources include landscape maintenance activities, home stereo systems, golf
course users and carts, and barking dogs, which are governed by the provisions of the City Noise
Ordinance and Municipal Code.
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The proposed Specific Plan amendment would result in a consistent maximum buildout potential
as the approved 2019 Specific Plan and therefore, impacts would be the same as those analyzed
in the EIR for maximum buildout.
Buildout of the revised Precise Plan has the potential to result in a 27% reduction in commercial
space, 71% reduction in restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square
footage, and a 14% reduction in parking compared to maximum buildout assumptions analyzed
in the EIR. Therefore construction and operational noise levels associated with buildout of the
Precise Plan would be less intense than those previously analyzed in the EIR due to the reduction
in development density and building square footage.
82
Construction noise would be expected to be similar under both buildout scenarios (2019 and
proposed), since the entire site would still be graded and constructed upon. Construction
activities associated with build out of the proposed Project would adhere to the City’s allowable
construction hours, and would also be temporary in nature. Since temporary construction noise
is exempt from the City’s noise ordinance requirements, construction-related noise would result
in less than significant noise impacts. Therefore, construction-related noise due to the proposed
Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified
significant impact previously analyzed in the EIR, and impacts would remain less than significant.
Post-construction activities would be limited to hotel, surf center, surf lagoon, and residential
operations and activities that would not be expected to generate long-term or excessive
groundborne noise or vibration.
Operational noise under the Precise Plan would consist of the same noise sources, including the
outdoor activities of the surf lagoon, hotel and residential pools and activity areas, but these
would be marginally reduced because of the decrease in residents and guests resulting from the
smaller hotel and fewer residences. Operational noise under the proposed Precise Plan is
expected to be less than significant and less than that of maximum buildout of the site under the
Specific Plan due to reduced density and associated traffic to and from the site. Long-term
operations would not result in any new impacts and would reduce the impacts previously
analyzed in the EIR.
Similar to the 2019 Project, it is anticipated that surf competitions and other special events would
be organized at the site which may result in the use of amplified musical equipment. Other
notable noise generating activities include surf lagoon/wave machine activity, outdoor game
activities, and outdoor event activity. However, proposed Project operations are the same as
those proposed in the approved 2019 Project, and therefore impacts associated with operational
noise for special events will be the same as those analyzed in the EIR, and would remain less than
significant. Operation-related noise due to the proposed Project would not result in any new
impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact previously analyzed
in the EIR.
Summary
Overall, build out of the proposed Project will result in impacts that are comparable to, or lower
than, what was analyzed for the 2019 DSRT SURF Specific Plan. With the implementation of
General Plan policies and Municipal Code requirements, impacts will remain less than significant.
3.14. POPULATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND HOUSING
Summary of Findings in the EIR
According to city’s General Plan EIR, the City’s 2015 population was 49,335, making Palm Desert
the third largest city in the Coachella Valley and the twelfth largest city in Riverside County,
accounting for 2.2 percent of the county’s total population. Between 2000 and 2014, the annual
population growth in Palm Desert was 662 persons per year, representing a 22.5 percent level of
growth.
83
According to the 2019 Project EIR, the 2018 population of the City of Palm Desert was 52,769,
which represents a 1.4 percent increase over 2017. The City is composed of a mix of single-family
and multi-family development, but the majority (55%) of housing units are single-family homes.
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) estimates that the City will have a
total population of 61,700 in 2040.26
The 2019 Project would result in the construction of 88 new resort style villas, up to 350 hotel
rooms and amenities, and a surf lagoon with surf center facilities to include restaurant, bar, retail
and similar facilities. All of the proposed uses will generate a variety of new jobs, including retail,
restaurant service jobs, recreational instructors and management personnel. However, on-site
employment opportunities are expected to be filled by people already living in the valley;
therefore, new employment opportunities associated with the proposed Project are expected to
be minor and less than significant.
The 2019 Project anticipated that the 88 villas would operate as either timeshares and/or an
extension of a future hotel. However, the 2019 Specific Plan allows for permanent single-family
housing units. Given the city’s average household size of 2.17 persons in 201827, 88 new
residential villas of the Project could potentially increase the permanent population by
approximately 191 persons. This represents 0.3% of the City’s anticipated 2040 population of
61,700, which would have a less than significant impact on the overall population of the area.
Buildout of the 2019 Project will not require the expansion, extension or construction of new
public streets or utilities that would indirectly induce population growth because all
infrastructure required to serve the Project exists adjacent to the Project. Impacts were found to
be less than significant.
Off-site improvements include stormwater management, pool/lagoon discharge, golf course turf
reduction, landscaping improvements, overflow parking, and soil removal/storage. These
activities will not induce population growth either directly or indirectly, and therefore there will
be no impacts.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The proposed Specific Plan does not change the residential densities or development intensities
previously analyzed in the 2019 Specific Plan. Therefore, Specific Plan-related impacts to
population and housing would be the same, and the proposed Project would not result in any
new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact previously
analyzed in the EIR.

2010 Benchmark,” California Department of Finance, released May 1, 2018.
84
Buildout of the Precise Plan would result in a 92 room hotel, 83 villas, and surf lagoon. Compared
to the 2019 Project, and using the 2020 average household size of 2.15 persons, the proposed
Project could potentially increase the city’s permanent population by approximately 179 persons,
resulting in a 12 person population decrease compared to the 2019 Project. This also represents
0.3% of the City’s anticipated 2040 population of 61,700, which would have a less than significant
impact on the overall population of the area.
Summary
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the
severity of a previously identified significant impact as previously analyzed in the EIR. The
purposed Precise Plan would lower the site’s residential density when compared to the maximum
density allowed in the Specific Plan, resulting in a reduced population potential compared to that
analyzed in the EIR.
The site is vacant and will not displace any existing population or cause a need for additional
housing elsewhere. The proposed Project does not change or propose additions to existing
infrastructure, such as streets or utility lines, and those impacts will be consistent with that
analyzed in the EIR, and remain less than significant.
Overall impacts associated with the build out of the Precise Plan are expected to be less than
those previously identified in the EIR. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Specific Plan
and buildout of the Project would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity
of previously identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.15. PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Fire Protection
The City of Palm Desert contracts with Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) for fire
protection services. RCFD is one of the largest regional fire service organizations in the State of
California. At the time of the EIR, the nearest fire station to the Project site was Riverside County
Fire Station 71 at 73995 Country Club Drive, approximately 0.5 mile southwest of the Project site.
This station also receives backup fire support from station No. 55 in Indian Wells and Stations No.
50 and No. 69 in Rancho Mirage. The station physically closest to the emergency will respond
even if it is outside the station’s official jurisdiction.
The RCFD service area consists of all unincorporated areas in Riverside County, 18 contract cities,
and one Community Service District (CSD). Under contract with the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the RCFD is the Operational Area Coordinator for the
California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System for all fire service jurisdictions in the County of
Riverside. As such, RCFD has also been given the authority to enter into several automatic aid
agreements with city jurisdictions, as well as with adjacent National Forests.
85
Construction and operation of the 2019 Project as a whole would increase the demand for fire
protection and emergency response services. The construction of all components within the 2019
Project will result in a marginal potential increase in fire and medical response demand
associated with construction activities and equipment. However, the Fire Code requires that
water connections be available prior to the initiation of construction, thereby assuring that
should a fire occur, water will be available to extinguish it.
In addition to the two public access points provided on Desert Willow Drive, a third emergency
access was to be be provided at the northwestern portion of the site, from the adjacent Westin
Willow Ridge roadway. Emergency vehicles would circulate through the Project area using the
internal roadway loop. The internal roadway would be designed to provide looped secondary
emergency vehicle access and egress. Fire lanes, turning radii and back up space around buildings
will require approval of the Fire Marshall, so as to assure adequate access for emergency and fire
equipment vehicles. Pavements are required to support loads created by emergency vehicle
traffic. Standpipe and fire suppression system connections are required for architectural design
elements and in locations accessible to fire equipment.
The 2019 Project’s demand for services was expected to be consistent with that of other
residential, commercial, and resort developments in the Project vicinity. It was not expected to
require the construction of new or physically altered fire facilities that might result in physical
environmental impacts. Impacts were expected to be less than significant.
The surf lagoon includes lifeguard facilities, including a lifeguard tower on the north end of the
lagoon with visibility over all parts of the lagoon. This design feature supplements emergency fire
response, and assures that impacts associated with emergency medical events at the lagoon
would remain less than significant.
The 2019 Project would be required to pay the Fire Facilities Impact Fee, which is charged on new
residential and commercial development. Funding provided by the Project would result in capital
that would be used toward future fire facilities.
All off-site improvements would result in no impact, with the exception of overflow parking. The
use of the off-site parking facility will be associated with the special events held at the surf lagoon,
and would be tied to safety and traffic plans for these events. The use of the parking lot will have
similar impacts to fire protection during special events as the surf center, and would be subject
to Mitigation Measures PS-2 and PS-3, assuring that impacts are reduced to less than significant
levels.
Police Protection
The City of Palm Desert Police Department (PDPD) is contracted through the Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) for police protection services. RCSD provides several law
enforcement services, such as general community policing, as well as the operation and
maintenance of several correctional facilities, to areas under its jurisdiction. The RCSD is a
"demand response" agency that maintains limited patrol services throughout the County of
86
Riverside. The RCSD has established a criteria of one sworn officer per 1,000 population; one
supervisor and one support staff employee per seven officers; one patrol vehicle per three sworn
officers; and one school resource officer per school.
The nearest police station is the Palm Desert Police Station on Gerald Ford Drive, approximately
1.6 mile to the northwest. When the EIR was certified, staffing consisted of 70 sworn officers that
included 45 deputies, 10 of which were dedicated to traffic enforcement. The City of Palm Desert
provided about 1.75 sworn officers for every 1,000 residents. The average response time by
priority is as follows:28
Priority 1 calls < 5 minutes
Priority 2 calls < 19 minutes
Priority 3 calls < 35 minutes
Adoption and implementation of the 2019 Project would increase visitors, patrons, population,
and employees onsite, thereby generating a potential increase in the level of police protection
service calls from the Project site.
The Project is expected to host special events that could attract an estimated 3,500 ticketed
spectators. Such events may require coordination with the Palm Desert Police Department for
additional onsite police support, such as directing traffic or increased foot patrols. Special events
will occur occasionally and are expected to be consistent with other regional entertainment
venues and sporting competitions, requiring additional police support but not increasing demand
to the extent that new or expanded police personnel or facilities are needed. The 2019 Project
also included bars, restaurants, and a surf center that could attract late-night patrons. Trained
security personnel were required, per Mitigation Measure PS-1, to be employed to minimize
impacts to the Palm Desert Police Department at onsite facilities and during daily operations and
special events.
Overall, with the buildout of all components of the 2019 Project, the net increase in persons at
the project site on a daily basis would not require a substantial increase in police protection
services in order to maintain the current officer to civilian ratio. No new or expanded police
stations, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, would be
needed as a result of the 2019 Project.
However, the EIR determined that additional police support may be required during special
events, and private security personnel should be employed onsite to minimize additional
demands for police services. To assure that impacts associated with public safety services are
mitigated, Mitigation Measures PS-1 through PS-3 were required, and are provided below. These
measures require the provision of private security services on site, and the coordination and
approval of RCSD for special events. With implementation of Mitigation Measures PS-1 through
PS-3, the EIR determined that impacts to police protection services would be less than significant.

87
All off-site improvements would result in no impact, with the exception of overflow parking. The
use of the off-site parking facility will be associated with the special events held at the Surf
Lagoon, and would be tied to safety and traffic plans for these events. The use of the parking lot
will have similar impacts to fire protection during special events as the surf center, and would be
subject to Mitigation Measures PS-2 and PS-3, assuring that impacts are reduced to less than
significant levels.
Schools
Public education services and facilities are provided to Palm Desert by the Desert Sands Unified
School District (DSUSD) and the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD). At the time the EIR
was prepared, DSUSD consisted of 19 elementary schools, one charter elementary school, six
middle schools, one charter middle school, four comprehensive high schools, two continuation
high schools, one alternative education school, and one preschool.29 The project site is within
DSUSD’s jurisdiction.30 The nearest school is James Earl Carter Elementary School, located
approximately 1.10 miles southwest of the project site.
The residential portion of the 2019 Project would introduce approximately 191 new residents to
the Project site. When the EIR was prepared, schools that serve the Project area were over
capacity. Based on DSUSD student generation rates at the time the EIR was prepared, the 2019
Project has the potential to generate approximately 31 kindergarten through twelfth grade
students, if the villas are occupied by permanent residents. This is a conservative estimate based
on the Project’s 88 new villas being occupied by families with children residing on the project site
on a fulltime, year-round basis. In actuality, these units were likely to be occupied on a temporary
basis by individuals and families during vacations. Nonetheless, the potential student increase
represents less than 1% of DSUSD’s current student body.
The EIR determined that existing laws and regulations would require funding for the provision or
expansion of new school facilities to offset impacts from new residential or commercial
development, including payment of the required developer fees, and therefore impacts were
considered less than significant.
None of the off-site improvements would generate permanent population and, therefore, will
have no impact on schools. These components of the Project will not increase the student
population and there will be no impacts.
Parks
The City of Palm Desert has a total of 163 acres of park lands and an additional 56 acres dedicated
for future parks.31 Beyond the Desert Willow golf course, within which the Project is located, the
nearest public park to the project site is Hovley Soccer Park, approximately 1.1 mile south of the
proposed Project.

88
Implementation and buildout of all components of the 2019 Project would result in the
development of a surf center, surf lagoon, up to 350 hotel rooms, restaurants, retail, and up to
88 new villas that could generate approximately 191 new residents, including approximately 31
school-aged children, if the villas are developed as permanent housing units. The Project
proposed resort hotel and residential uses, outdoor use areas, and multiple options for
recreational amenities, including lounges, swimming pools, a spa/wellness center, and a surf
lagoon. The surf lagoon was expected to be the primary attraction for Project patrons and guests.
Some visitors may attend events and undertake activities at local parks however, such visits are
expected to be minimal and are not expected to require new or expanded park facilities that
could result in adverse environmental impacts.
In addition, the Project will be located within the Desert Willow golf course, providing additional
recreational opportunities. The Project’s proposed recreational amenities, in conjunction with
the City’s current parks and recreational facilities and the collection of Developer Impact Fees
(DIF) that support the City’s park and recreation fund (as required by City’s Municipal Code
25.40.13032), would be adequate to accommodate the Project’s demand for parks and
recreational services. Therefore, Project impacts to parks would be less than significant.
None of the off-site improvements would generate demand for park services and, therefore, no
impact was anticipated.
Other Public Services
Other public facilities in the City include city hall, the public library, museums, and
medical/emergency facilities. As mentioned above, the Project’s recreational facilities,
particularly the surf lagoon, were expected to be the primary attraction for Project patrons and
guests. Some visitors may attend the local library, museums, or other attractions, and some may
require medical services at local hospitals. However, such visits are expected to be minimal and
are not expected to require new or expanded facilities that could result in adverse environmental
impacts. Project-related impacts to other public facilities were expected be less than significant,
and no mitigation measures were required.
Mitigation Measures
PS-1. All components of the Project shall be required to employ on-site private security.
PS-2. Per the City’s Municipal Code Sections 5.87.180 and 5.100.02033, at least two weeks prior
to a special event at the lagoon area, the applicant shall file a “Special Event Temporary
Entertainment Permit.” Event notifications and specifics shall be approved in advance
with the RCSD and Fire Marshall prior to scheduled events.
32 Palm Desert Municipal Code 25.40.130 (Required Park Dedication Fees). No building permit shall be issued for
any new development until the use established is in compliance with all applicable regulations of the City’s local
park dedication or payment of fees in lieu thereof requirement, as provided by the Subdivision Ordinance. (Ord.
1259 § 1, 2013).
33 Palm Desert Municipal Code 5.87.180 (Special events notification required) and 5.100.020 (Special event
temporary entertainment permit required).
89
PS-3. Project facilities shall be designed and maintained to maximize public safety, including
providing secure facilities access and parking, adequate nighttime lighting, maximization
of defensible space and minimization of “dead zones,” and professional security
personnel. The Project proponent shall coordinate with the Police Department to assure
the Project is designed to address these and other safety concerns.
PS-4. During construction, excavation areas, construction staging, and storage areas shall be
fenced and locked. All equipment shall be returned to staging and storage areas at the
end of each work day.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The proposed Specific Plan amendment would not increase the overall project density or
development intensity of the approved 2019 Specific Plan, and therefore impacts to public
facilities associated with population increases would be comparable to what was previously
analyzed in the EIR.
The Precise Plan would result in a reduction in potential dwelling units from the maximum
buildout potential of 88 units to 83 units. This change will also result in a corresponding reduction
in population. These reductions will also reduce demand from fire and police services, since fewer
incidents would occur due to reductions in density at both the villas and the hotel. Similarly,
impacts associated with libraries, schools and parks would be reduced with buildout of the
Precise Plan, due to reductions in units and population requiring these services.
Summary
Implementation of proposed Project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity
of a previously identified significant impact as previously analyzed in the EIR. The proposed
Project will be subject to the same mitigation measures as the 2019 Project. Overall, impacts are
expected to be comparable to or less than those previously identified in the EIR due to the
reduction in hotel room guests, residential density and population proposed by the proposed
Precise Plan. Therefore, implementation of the Specific Plan amendment and buildout of the
Project would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase the severity of previously
identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.
3.16. TRANSPORTATION
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Roadway Network
Regional connectivity to the City is provided by Interstate 10, Highway 111, and State Route 74.
Major roadways include Highway 111, Fred Waring Drive, Country Club Drive, Frank Sinatra Drive,
Gerald Ford Drive, Dinah Shore Drive, Monterey Avenue, Portola Avenue, Cook Street, and
Washington Street. Higher volume roadways include Washington Street, Monterey Avenue,
90
Highway 111, and Fred Waring Drive which are designed to carry approximately 51,000 (avg.),
37,400 (avg.), 39,800 (avg.), and 36,300 (avg.) vehicles per day at General Plan buildout (2040),
respectively.
Major roadways in the vicinity of the Project site include Country Club Drive to the south, Portola
Avenue to the west, Cook Street to the east, and Frank Sinatra Drive to the north. At General Plan
buildout, these major roadways could carry approximately 34,900 (avg.), 14,600 (avg.), 21,700
(avg.), and 12,300 (avg.) vehicles per day, respectively.34
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure used to define the performance of a roadway
system. The desired and optimal level of service for intersections and roadway segments within
the City is LOS C; however, LOS D is considered the generally acceptable service level.
Transit
Public transportation in the Coachella Valley consists of transit bus service operated by the
SunLine Transit Agency. When the EIR was written, six SunLine bus routes served the City of Palm
Desert: 20, 21, 32, 54, 70, 111, and Commuter Link 220.35 Sunline also provides paratransit service
to supplement fixed route service. Service headways ranged from 20 minutes to 60 minutes
during the weekdays. Less frequent service was provided on nights and weekends.
The closest bus route to the Project site is Route 20 which extends along Cook Street. The nearest
bus stop to the Project site is located at Cook Street and Country Club Drive, approximately ½
mile to the east.
Bicycle and Golf Cart Facilities
When the EIR was prepared, bicycle facilities in the immediate Project area included Class III bike
lanes along Country Club Drive, Cook Street, Portola Avenue, and Frank Sinatra Drive.36 The
Project site is located within the Desert Willow golf course property, and golf cart paths run along
all sides of the property. Meandering pathways also extend along much of Desert Willow Drive.37
CV Link
CV Link is a multi-modal transportation pathway which, at full buildout, will extend ±49 miles
through 12 Coachella Valley jurisdictions, from Palm Springs on the west to the Salton Sea on the
east.38 At the time the EIR was written, approximately 2.4 miles of CV Link had been constructed
in the City of Cathedral City. In the City of Palm Desert, CV Link was to be constructed along the
Whitewater River Stormwater Channel, and generally along Parkview Drive and Magnesia Falls
Drive. It is anticipated that CV Link, once fully constructed, will contribute to increased fitness,
local reductions in traffic volumes and associated air pollutants, and expanded economic
opportunities.

Pedestrian Environment
Connections between roadways and transit facilities are provided through a network of sidewalks
and crosswalks. The nearest pedestrian sidewalk to the Project site is along Desert Willow Drive.
Sidewalks also exist along Country Club Drive, Cook Street, Portola Avenue, and Frank Sinatra
Drive.
Airports
The Coachella Valley is served by three airports. The Palm Springs International Airport is the
largest and primary air transportation link for the region. It is located approximately 8 miles
northwest of the subject property and is classified in the National Plan of Integrated Airport
Systems (NPIAS) as a long-haul commercial service airport. It also handles air freight and provides
heliport access that is largely limited to medical evacuation flights between the Desert Regional
Medical Center and Eisenhower Medical Center.
The Bermuda Dunes Airport is a privately owned, public use airport located approximately 5.5
miles northeast of the subject property. It accommodates corporate and private aircraft and is
the designated airport for medivac flights for John F. Kennedy Hospital and Eisenhower Medical
Center.
The Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is located in the unincorporated community of Thermal,
approximately 15 miles southeast of the Project site. It caters to business and private aviation
aircraft.
Intersection Operations
The Project-specific Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) studied twelve (12) intersections in the Project
area based on the Project description and input from City staff. Conditions were evaluated for
weekday PM peak hours and Saturday peak hours, when the proposed Project is expected to be
busiest. Data in the EIR demonstrated that all studied intersections are operating at acceptable
LOS during one or more peak hours, except for the intersection at Cook Street and Market Place
Drive, which is unsignalized and operating at LOS F during the PM peak hour only. The EIR
requires mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant levels, as provided in Mitigation
Measure TRANSP-1, which requires that the Project pay its fair share of the installation of a traffic
signal at this location. Further, the Development Agreement requires that the payment be made
by the Project proponent, and that the City install the signal prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for the Surf Center. This assures that the improvement will be complete at the time
that the Project is operational, and that the impact will be less than significant when the Project
begins operations.
The TIA also analyzed potential impacts of the 2019 Project on the I-10 freeway ramps at Cook
Street, since special events are expected to attract travelers from more distant locations that will
require freeway travel. The EIR determined that the freeway off-ramps will operate at acceptable
levels during special events.
92
Vehicle Miles Traveled
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, as amended December 2018, states that vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) is the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts. A lead agency may use models
or other methods to analyze a project’s VMT quantitatively or qualitatively. For land use projects,
such as the proposed DSRT SURF Project, “projects within one-half mile of either an existing
major transit stop or a stop along an existing high-quality transit corridor should be presumed to
cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects that decrease vehicle miles traveled
in the project area compared to existing conditions should be considered to have a less than
significant transportation impact.”
During construction, an estimated 12,875 haul trips (equivalence)39 will transport excess soils to
either: 1) vacant land on the Desert Willow Golf Course, less than ¼ mile from the Project site, or
2) along Cook Street to the Classic Club 2½ miles to the north. For conservative analysis, it was
assumed that all excess soil will be hauled to the Classic Club, resulting in approximately 32,188
VMT. Once construction is complete, this Project component would generate no VMT. Impacts
would be less than significant.
The EIR determined that buildout of the entire Project would generate a combined total of 5,496
weekday daily trips during typical operation, and a combined total of 7,288 weekend daily trips
during special events. The Project is centrally located in the Coachella Valley; vehicles traveling
from the furthest points of the valley from the Project site would travel approximately 15 miles
to the Project, while those in the denser population centers would travel 10 miles or less. During
special events, spectators could travel from areas outside the Coachella Valley; western Riverside
County and Los Angeles, for example, are 60 miles and 100 miles from the Project site,
respectively. For analysis purposes, it was assumed that the average distance traveled per trip
was 25 miles, resulting in an annual VMT of 12,213,217 under typical operation and 16,511,125
when accounting for special events.
The EIR determined that the Project’s central location and proximity to arterials, I-10, and
established transit routes are expected to reduce the amount of driving required to access the
Project. Therefore, impacts were considered less than significant.
Emergency Access
Emergency vehicles will be able to access the surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas via two
main driveways on Desert Willow Drive and a gated emergency entrance on Willow Ridge. The
internal roadway will provide vehicular access around the perimeter of the Project. Prior to the
initiation of any site disturbance, the Project proponent will be required to confer with the City
Public Works, Fire, and Police departments to assure that demolition (of the existing parking lot),
grading, and construction plans provide adequate emergency access. After the construction and
installation of off-site improvements is complete, these project components will have no impact
on emergency access.
39 CalEEMod generates the number of “haul trips” and associated hauling emissions based on the quantity/weight
of material being hauled and the distance to the haul site. The number of haul trips generated in CalEEMod
provides an equivalent emissions projection based on haul load assumptions programmed into the software.
Based on project haul data, CalEEMod assumes that the project will require 12,875 material haul trips. It is
assumed that an average haul load is 20 tons (or 16 cubic yards).
93
All development plans will be reviewed by the Police and Fire Departments to assure that
adequate fire lanes, vehicle turning radius, and signage is provided for emergency vehicles during
all phases of operation (Mitigation Measures TRANSP-15 through TRANSP-19). With
implementation of these mitigation measures, Project-related impacts will be less than
significant.
Parking and Special Events
Overflow parking improvements are planned for the southeast corner of Desert Willow Drive and
Market Place Drive. Preliminary designs for this parking lot estimate that approximately 285±
parking spaces can be provided at this location in a fully improved parking lot. During standard
operations, the lot will be vacant, and no special traffic management strategies will be necessary.
However, during special events, up to 1,459 vehicles would require parking and vehicles will
access the overflow parking lot via Cook Street, Country Club Drive, and Market Place Drive. The
EIR determined that without additional off-site parking, potential impacts associated with
parking and site access could result in significant impacts to the Project site and surrounding
roadway network. However, implementation of Mitigation Measures TRANSP-5 through
TRANSP-14 will reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. They require the Project
proponent to implement a Special Event Traffic Management Plan that uses temporary signage,
flaggers, traffic signal timing adjustments, shuttle services, and other mechanisms to facilitate
the movement of special event traffic and reduce impacts to roads in the Project vicinity.
Transit Service
The surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas will have no impact on transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities. The Project site is ½ mile from the nearest Sunline transit route and bus stops on Cook
Street, and ⅓-mile from the nearest sidewalk and bike lane on Country Club Drive. The Project
will not impact sidewalks or golf paths within Desert Willow Golf Course. It does not propose new
transit or bicycle facilities, or modifications to existing ones, and will not conflict with any such
programs, plans, ordinances, or policies. Internal walkways and trails will connect to existing
sidewalks and pathways on Desert Willow Drive, which then connect to sidewalks on Country
Club Drive.
Summary of Impacts
The TIA assumed that all project components would be built out by 2022, studying both typical
daily operations and special events. Although the 2019 Project was to be implemented in two
phases, and both phases may not be completed by 2022, this represents a worst-case scenario
in which all traffic impacts occur simultaneously. Typical daily operations were assumed to
include up to 95 surfers at one time in the lagoon, activity at surf center retail and restaurant
facilities, and full occupancy of the 350 hotel rooms and 88 villas. Special event operations
considered the addition of up to 3,500 ticketed guests at the surf lagoon, in addition to the
operational characteristics described above.
As previously discussed, the intersection at Cook Street and Market Place Drive would operate at
LOS F during the PM peak hour only. With installation of a traffic signal (Mitigation Measure
TRANSP-1), the Cook Street and Market Place Drive intersection will operate at an acceptable
LOS. Expansion of the eastbound left turn lane on Market Place Drive at Cook Street to a
94
minimum of 165 feet (Mitigation Measure TRANSP-2) would also reduce Project impacts at this
intersection. TRANSP-3 and TRANSP-4 will further enhance site access and traffic safety at the
Project site by requiring implementation of onsite traffic signing and striping plans and review of
sight distance at Project access points.
Primary access to the surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas will be provided at two access
points on Desert Willow Drive, and emergency access will be provided via a gated access point
on Willow Ridge. An internal road will be used to access onsite facilities and parking. No roads,
intersections, or design features are proposed that would increase hazards. During long-term
operation, vehicles accessing the site will be similar to those accessing the adjacent golf course.
Off-site improvements would have no impact on traffic-related hazards at buildout. Overall, No
impact would occur.
In regard to off-site improvements, stormwater management, pool/lagoon discharge, soil
removal and storage, golf course turf reduction, and landscaping improvements would have no
impact on circulation plans, policies, or programs.

97
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The Specific Plan amendment would facilitate the same buildout potential as the 2019 Specific
Plan, and therefore would result in similar impacts to traffic and circulation. Access to bicycle and
golf cart facilities, transit, the pedestrian networks, and CV Link is the same as previously analyzed
in the EIR.
Buildout of the revised Precise Plan has the potential to result in a 27% reduction in commercial
space, 71% reduction in restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square
footage, and a 14% reduction in parking compared to maximum buildout assumptions analyzed
in the EIR. To calculate traffic trips for the Precise Plan, the same trip generation rates used in
the 2019 EIR were used to calculate Project-specific trip generation. The following trip generation
rates were used:
• Hotel: The 2019 EIR analyzed 350 rooms at a rate of 8.36 daily trips per room for a total
of 2,926 daily trips. The Precise Plan proposes 92 rooms for a daily trip generation of 770
daily trips;
• Surf Center/Surf Lagoon: The 2019 EIR and Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) used the number
of guests per day as the metric to assess the surf center and lagoon trip generation. Daily
capacity and usage rates will remain the same, and therefore the same assumptions used
in the EIR were used for a total of 1,126 daily trips;
• Villas/Stacked Flats: The 2019 EIR analyzed 88 villas at a rate of 8.36 daily trips per unit
for a total of 736. The Precise Plan proposes 83 units for a daily trip generation of 694;
• Retail: The 2019 EIR and TIA analyzed 4,000 square feet of retail space separate from the
surf center and hotel at a rate of 46.12 daily trips per 1,000 square feet for a total of 152
daily trips. The Precise Plan proposes 418 square feet of retail to be located within the
surf center building for a total of 20 daily trips;
• Restaurant/Bars: The 2019 EIR and TIA analyzed 11,250 square feet of restaurant/bar
space at 112.18 daily trips per 1,000 square feet for a total of 1,264 daily trips. The Precise
Plan proposes 3,271 square feet of restaurant/bar space for a total of 367 daily trips;
• Special Events: The Precise Plan does not propose changes to special event capacity,
therefore it is assumed that the same daily trips would apply (3,500 guests for a total of
2,918 daily trips during special events)
Based on the factors above, the Precise Plan has the potential to generate approximately 2,977
daily trips (before internal trip capture) during typical operations (no special event). Compared
to the maximum buildout assumptions analyzed in the 2019 EIR, the Precise Plan has the
potential to reduce daily trips by 52%, from 6,204 daily trips (also before internal trip capture) to
2,977 daily trips. These trips will be further reduced by the internal capture created by the use
synergies. Therefore, it can be assumed that daily trips and peak hour trips associated with
buildout of the Precise Plan would be less intense than those previously analyzed in the EIR due
to the reduction in overall development density and building square footage.
98
The Precise Plan would maintain the three emergency access points (two main driveways and
Desert Willow Drive) previously analyzed in the 2019 EIR and will therefore not result in a new
adverse impact. The Precise Plan will also have access to the same external network of transit,
golf cart, bicycle, and pedestrian networks in Project vicinity, and proposes an internal network
of multimodal paths to encourage non-vehicular travel throughout the site.
The proposed Project will adhere to the same mitigation measures set forth in the EIR and no
new mitigation measures are required. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Specific Plan
amendment and buildout of the Project would not result in any new adverse impacts or increase
the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR
3.17. UTILITIES
Summary of Findings in the EIR
Water Service
The main water source used by CVWD for urban potable water use is local groundwater. The
CVWD operates more than 100 wells to obtain groundwater from both the Whitewater River and
the Mission Creek subbasins of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin.40 The Coachella Valley
Groundwater Basin has been identified by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as being
in a condition of overdraft since the 1940s. CVWD, through its water replenishment programs,
estimates that overdraft in both the West and East Whitewater River subbasins has been
curtailed, but must be maintained. Although Colorado River and SWP water are used to replenish
the groundwater basin, the potable water distribution system does not currently receive water
directly from either imported water source.
As discussed in the Hydrology and Water Quality Section, and per the Project-specific Water
Supply Assessment (WSA), the proposed Project would require approximately 165.21 AF of water
annually. Of that demand, it is anticipated that the 2019 Project will use up to 8.54 AFY of recycled
water for landscaping. Implementation of the Turf Reduction Plan would reduce irrigation water
consumption in the immediate Project area, serving to offset the water demand of the proposed
Project by approximately 106.75 AFY. Use of recycled water for landscaping and the Turf
Reduction Plan would reduce the Project’s overall net water demand to 58.46 AFY. The Project’s
net domestic water demand of 58.46 AFY represents approximately 0.05 percent of the total
water supply (114,600 AFY) for 2020 and 0.03 percent of the total water supply (194,300 AFY) for
2040 estimated by the CVWD in its Urban Water Management Plan.
The EIR and WSA determined that CVWD has sufficient water supplies available to serve the
Project in future during normal, dry and multiple dry years. The Project’s incremental effect
would not be cumulatively considerable with respect to water supply and, therefore, impacts
would be less than significant, with the implementation of the Turf Reduction Program required
in Mitigation Measure HYD-4.
40 Engineer's Report on Water Supply and Replenishment Assessment 2017-2018, CVWD.
99
The 2019 Project would require extension of water lines within the site to connect to the existing
CVWD water lines under Willow Ridge Road and the traffic circle at Desert Willow Drive. The
Project may construct a new onsite well to supply the lagoon water demands, which will be
metered in compliance with requirements of the RWRCB. This would not significantly affect
CVWD water facilities, and once connected to the CVWD water lines, CVWD will have sufficient
water to accommodate the proposed Project. Extension of water lines will have less than
significant impacts on expanded water services because the physical expansion will occur within
already disturbed areas of the golf course and its roadways, and because the proposed Project’s
mandate to implement a Turf Reduction Program will substantially reduce net water demand of
the Project.
Wastewater
CVWD also provides wastewater and sewage collection and treatment services in the city.
Wastewater is conveyed through sewer trunk lines generally ranging in size from 4 to 24 inches,
relying primarily on gravity flow. When the EIR was prepared, CVWD treated and recycled
wastewater at two wastewater treatment plants (WRP-9 and WRP-10) for the City of Palm Desert
and surrounding areas. These two plants had a total capacity of 18.40 million gallons per day. The
EIR estimated that the Project would generate a total of 161,500 gpd of wastewater per day,
which will constitute an increase of 1 percent of the treatment flows currently entering the
CVWD’s WRP-10 daily.
Recycled water from these facilities has been used for golf course and greenbelt irrigation in the
City for many years, including irrigation at the Desert Willow golf course, thereby reducing
demand on the groundwater basin. CVWD implements all requirements of the Regional Water
Quality Control Board pertaining to water quality and wastewater discharge.
According to the CVWD, the existing sewer lines under Willow Ridge Road and the traffic circle
at the clubhouse entrance on Desert Willow Drive have the capacity to handle the additional
sewage generated by the Project, based on the number of lateral tie-ins presently contributing
to the sewer flow. The Proposed Project will require construction of on-site sewer infrastructure
to connect to the existing sewer mains located in the Desert Willow Drive and Willow Ridge Road
rights-of-way.
Overall, the EIR determined that CVWD has sufficient treatment capacity to treat wastewater
generated by the 2019 Project, and the Project is not anticipated to result in the construction or
relocation of a wastewater treatment plant. The 2019 Project’s impact on wastewater treatment
systems would be less than significant.
Stormwater Management and Protection
Within CVWD's boundaries, there are 16 stormwater protection channels. The entire system
includes approximately 135 miles of channels built along the natural alignment of dry creeks that
naturally flow from the surrounding mountains into the Whitewater River. Along with the
channels, a number of dikes and levees have been designed and built to collect rapidly flowing
flood water as it drains from the adjacent mountains onto the floor of the Coachella Valley.
100
The backbone of the stormwater protection system is a 50-mile stormwater channel that runs
from the Whitewater area north of Palm Springs to the Salton Sea. The western half of the
channel, known as the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel, runs along the natural alignment
of the Whitewater River that cuts diagonally across the valley to Point Happy in La Quinta.
Because the riverbed flattens out naturally downstream from La Quinta, a constructed
stormwater channel funnels flood waters to the Salton Sea. East of Point Happy, the channel is
known as the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. The channel was built to withstand a flow of
80,000 cubic feet per second, which is greater than flows generated by a 100-year flood event.41
The Project would introduce impervious surfaces in the project area through the construction of
buildings, pedestrian pathways, parking lots, and internal roadways. As explained in the
Hydrology and Water Quality Section, the Project site is divided into four drainage areas from
which onsite runoff will be conveyed into three existing Desert Willow Golf Course drainage
waste areas. These drainage waste areas do not have drain pipes to the Project site currently.
Drain pipes will need to be constructed and extended from the Project site in these areas as part
of the proposed Project. The drainage pipe extensions are considered off-site improvements, and
their impacts discussed separately below. The preliminary hydrology study for the 2019 Project
demonstrates that the existing waste areas have capacity to accommodate Project 100-year
flows. Therefore, the 2019 Project will not result in a need to construct additional drainage
facilities beyond those envisioned for the Desert Willow project, and impacts will be less than
significant.
Electricity
Southern California Edison (SCE) provides electrical service to the City of Palm Desert and many
areas of the Coachella Valley, serving approximately fifteen (15) million people within a service
area of approximately 50,000 square miles, including the Coachella Valley. According to the Palm
Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update, city-wide electricity usage in Palm Desert in 2013 was
756,834,386 kWh.42 This includes all electricity consumed by municipal buildings, residential,
commercial, and industrial land uses, and resorts and golf courses, combined.
Operation of the proposed Project would consume approximately 21,711,725 kWh per year of
electricity in total43. This represents a 2.87 percent increase in annual City-wide electricity usage.
Installation of solar panels would offset the Project’s electrical demand, thereby reducing it to
approximately 20,011,725 kWh per year, which represents approximately 2.64 percent of the
City’s total electricity demand.
The Project will connect to the existing nearest SCE underground distribution lines located east
of the site. Construction of the Project will comply with applicable SCE guidelines regarding
installation, extensions, and connections to limit impacts to electricity infrastructure and avoid
service interruptions. No new SCE electric power facilities will need to be constructed or
relocated. Impacts will be less than significant.

43 See Section 2.6 Energy for detailed discussion. Annual kWh were estimated in CalEEMod using historical energy
data for similar land use/building types, and Project-specific engineering estimates for the surf lagoon.
101
Natural Gas
Natural gas is provided to the City of Palm Desert by the Southern California Gas Company
(SoCalGas). According to the Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update, city-wide natural
gas consumption totaled 17,532,930 therms in 2013.44 This includes natural gas consumed by
residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, and resorts and golf courses.
Operation of the proposed Project would consume approximately 331,811 therms per year45 of
natural gas in total, which is equivalent to a 1.89 percent increase in annual City-wide natural gas
usage (City-wide usage is approximately 17,532,930 therms per year, according to the Palm
Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013 Update). The Project site would connect to the existing
SoCalGas distribution lines located at the perimeter of the Desert Willow traffic circle. Prior to
ground disturbance, Project contractors would notify and coordinate with SoCalGas to identify
the locations and depths of all existing gas lines and avoid disruption of gas service. No additional
natural gas facilities will need to be constructed or relocated. Impacts will be less than significant.
Telecommunications
Landline phone services in the City are mainly provided by Frontier Communications Corporation.
It is the fourth largest provider of digital subscriber lines (based on coverage area) in the County.
The project site will connect to the existing telecommunication lines located adjacent to the site
in Desert Willow Drive. Lines currently in place are sufficient to supply the Project, and no new
lines are expected to be required. No impact is anticipated.
Solid Waste
Solid waste disposal services in Palm Desert are provided by the commercial vendor Burrtec. Solid
waste collected from residents and businesses is hauled to the Edom Hill Transfer Station in
Cathedral City and is then transported to regional landfills. When the EIR was prepared, the
remaining capacities for these landfills were as follows:
Lamb Canyon Sanitary Landfill
Location: Beaumont
Remaining Capacity = 19,242,950 Cubic Yards
Ceased Op Date = 04/01/2029
Oasis Sanitary Landfill
Location: Oasis
Remaining Capacity = 433,779 Cubic Yards
Ceased Op Date = 09/01/2055
Mecca Landfill II
Location: Mecca
Remaining Capacity = 6,371 Cubic Yards
Ceased Op Date = 01/01/2098
Source: Solid Waste Information System database,
CalRecycle.
44 Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013 Update.
45 See Section 2.6 Energy for detailed discussion. Therms were estimated in CalEEMod using historical energy data
for similar land use/building types.
102
Solid waste from the future development in the City would be disposed of in the Mecca II and
Oasis landfills when the Lamb Canyon Sanitary Landfill has reached its capacity. All development
is required to comply with the mandatory commercial and multi-family recycling requirements
of Assembly Bill 341. The City of Palm Desert has implemented many programs within the
community as well as within its own organization to meet AB 341 goals.
Construction of the 2019 Project would generate solid waste in the form of sediments, trash and
debris, oil and grease, fuels, lubricants, asphalt and concrete waste, and similar materials. Based
on the Estimated Solid Waste Generation Rates established by CalRecycle, the Project would
dispose of approximately 355 tons of solid waste per year46 at buildout. The Project would be
required to achieve 50 percent waste diversion in accordance with Riverside County’s Integrated
Waste Management Plan (CIWMP); based on this requirement, the total solid waste generation
for the Project will be approximately 212.66 tons per year. Implementation of State and
municipal requirements to reuse and recycle construction and operation waste would lessen the
amount of solid waste generated by the Project. The 2019 Project would contribute 0.02% to
Lamb Canyon’s remaining capacity.47 The EIR determined that less than significant impacts would
occur from the Project, and no mitigation will be required.
Analysis of the Proposed Project
Specific Plan and Precise Plan
The Specific Plan amendment would facilitate the same buildout potential of the 2019 Specific
Plan, resulting in the same demand for utilities. Therefore, the Specific Plan amendment would
not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact
as previously analyzed in the EIR.
Buildout of the revised Precise Plan has the potential to result in a 27% reduction in commercial
space, 71% reduction in restaurant/bar space, 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square
footage compared to maximum buildout assumptions analyzed in the EIR. Therefore, it can be
assumed that demands for water, wastewater, telecommunication facilities, energy
infrastructure, and solid waste disposal would be less than those previously analyzed in the EIR
under maximum buildout conditions. Utility demands of the surf lagoon would remain less than
significant under either buildout scenario (2019 or proposed Project).
To calculate water demands for the Precise Plan, the same water demand factors used in the EIR
were used to calculate Project-specific water demands. The following water demand factors were
used:
• Hotel: 115 gal per room per day. Precise Plan proposes 92 rooms for a daily demand of
10,695 gallons per day, or 11.85 acre-feet per year (AFY);
46 Retail = 0.02 lb/SF/day; Office = 0.006 lb/SF/day; Hotel = 2 lb/room/day; Multi-family = 5.1 lb/unit/day.
CalRecycle.
47 Assumes that 1 CY of commercial and residential recyclable solid waste is equivalant to 100 lbs (averaged).
“Volume to Weight Conversion Factors,” US EPA Office of Resource Conversion and Recovery. April 2016.
103
• Surf Center Ancillary Uses/Maintenance/General Retail: 0.19 gallons per square foot per
day. Precise Plan proposes 12,323 square feet of surf center and maintenance space
resulting in a daily demand of 2,341.37 gallons per day, or 2.62 AFY;
• Surf Lagoon: The same assumptions used in the EIR were used for a total demand of 73.04
AFY;
• Villas: 117.7 gallons per unit per day. 83 units would generate a water demand of 9,769.1
gallons per day, or 10.94 AFY;
• Pools/Landscaping: The same assumptions used in the EIR were used for a total demand
of 15.9 AFY.
• Turf Reduction Program: The same assumptions used in the EIR were used for a total
reduction of 106.75 AFY.
Based on the factors above, buildout of the proposed Precise Plan would result in a water
demand of 114.35 AFY. If the 106.75 AFY of water saved from the Turf Reduction Program is
applied to the proposed Project, the Project’s remaining net domestic water demand would be
7.6 AFY. This represents an 87% reduction in net annual water demand compared to the 2019
Project net water demand of 58.46 AFY. The reduction is primarily due to the significant reduction
in hotel rooms, which were originally assumed to total 350. The proposed Precise Plan represents
a 74% reduction in hotel rooms. In addition, the reductions associated with less surf center
restaurant area, and the minor reduction in the total number of villas, from 88 to 83, contribute
to a substantial reduction in water demand for the proposed Project. Therefore, buildout of the
Precise Plan would be less intense than what was previously analyzed in the EIR, and impacts to
water supply would be substantially reduced, and less than significant.
Using the wastewater generation rate of 230 gallons per day per room/unit and 100 gallons per
day per 1,000 square feet of commercial, buildout of the Precise Plan would generate
approximately 41,782.3 gallons per day of wastewater, which is 119,717.7 gallons per day less
(74%) than maximum buildout of the site under the existing and proposed Specific Plan (161,500
gallons per day) analyzed in the EIR. Therefore, buildout of the Precise Plan would be less intense
than that previously analyzed in the EIR due to the reduction in residential density and building
square footage, and would represent a less than significant impact on sanitary sewer service.
Based on the Estimated Solid Waste Generation Rates established by CalRecycle48, the proposed
Precise Plan would dispose of approximately 853.76 pounds per day or 155.8 tons of solid waste
per year at buildout. This represents a 27% reduction is annual tons of solid waste when
compared to maximum buildout of the site under the existing and proposed Specific Plan (212.66
tons per year). Therefore, buildout of the Precise Plan would be less intense than that previously
analyzed in the EIR due to the reduction in residential density and building square footage, and
impacts would remain less than significant.
48 Retail = 0.02 lb/SF/day; Office = 0.006 lb/SF/day; Hotel = 2 lb/room/day; Multi-family = 5.1 lb/unit/day. CalRecycle.
104
Summary
Both the buildout of the Specific Plan and the proposed Project will be required to comply with
General Plan policies, and regulations associated with CVWD water and wastewater use, and
solid waste disposal. These standards and conditions will serve to further reduce impacts, when
compared to those analyzed in the EIR. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Specific Plan
amendment and buildout of the Precise Plan would not result in any new adverse impacts or
increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the Certified EIR.

TO: Eric Ceja
FROM: Kelly Clark
SUBJECT: DSRT SURF Water Demand Analysis
A Water Supply Assessment (WSA) was prepared for the DSRT SURF project (Project) in 2019 that
analyzed Project -specific water demands and potential impacts to the local and regional water supply.
At that time, the Project included a 5.5-acre surf lagoon and associated amenities, up to 350 hotel rooms,
up to 88 residential villas, and landscaping. The WSA determined that the 2019 Project would result in a
gross water demand of 165.21 acre-feet per year (AFY) and a net water demand of 58.46 AFY after
accounting for the turf reduction program which resulted in a savings of 106.75 AFY. For comparison,
the net 2019 Project water demand of 58.46 AFY is less than the gross water demand for the 350 hotel
rooms and 88 villas combined (60.99 AFY) (see below). The 2019 water demand breakdown is as follows:
• Surf Lagoon; 73.04 AFY: Cloward H2O (2019) provided an annual water demand based on the
following:
o Volume: 6,900,000 gallons. Assumed a complete filling annually; Area: 236,720 SF
(approx. 5.5 acres)
o Water Loss: An average of 1,121 gallons/day from backwash and 45,177 gallons/day from
evaporation, for a total of 46,298 gallons/day (16,898,770 gallons/year).
• Evaporation was calculated using two methods: 1) 25+ year weather data for
average monthly temperatures, humidity, wind, cloud cover and solar radiation
rates; 2) published monthly pan evaporation rates for the area.'
• Surf Lagoon Amenities; 15.28 AFY: Includes cafe, restaurant, bar, restrooms, maintenance.
Standards water demand rates.
• Hotel and Villas; 60.99 AFY: Includes 350 hotel rooms, 88 villas, hotel spa, villa clubhouse, and
maintenance and equipment buildings. Standards water demand rates.
• Swimming Pools; 7.36 AFY: Onsite pools/spas. Assumed one complete fill annually and total loss
due to evaporation.
• Landscaping; 8.54 AFY of Recycled Water: 120,159 square feet of landscaped area, including
11,795 square feet of turf and 108,364 square feet of native plant materials. CVWD MAWA
calculation was used.
• Turf Reduction Program for Firecliff and Mountain View Golf Courses: - 106.75 AFY.

Research Inc. May 2019.

The Project was amended in 2020 and resulted in a 27% reduction in commercial space, 71% reduction
in restaurant/bar space, and 53% reduction is hotel and villa building square footage compared to
maximum buildout assumptions analyzed in the 2019 EIR and WSA. The water demand for the 2020
project was analyzed using the assumptions shown below:
• Surf Lagoon 73.04 AFY: Same assumptions used in the 2019 EIR/WSA.
• Surf Lagoon Amenities; 2.62 AFY: Includes ancillary uses, maintenance, general retail.
• Hotel and Villas; 22.79 AFY: Includes 92 hotel rooms and 83 villas.
• Pools/Landscaping; 15.9 AFY: Same assumptions used in the 2019 EIR/WSA.
• Turf Reduction Program;-106.75 AFY: Same assumptions used in the 2019 EIR/WSA.
Buildout of the 2020 Project would result in a gross water demand of 114.35 AFY and a net water demand
of 7.6 AFY, after accounting for the turf reduction program. For comparison, the net 2020 Project water
demand of 7.6 AFY is equivalent to the annual water demands of 58 villas.
The 2020 Project's water demand is detailed in the EIR Addendum prepared for the Project and
submitted for review as part of the current entitlement package.
Similar projects in the Valley, specifically the Wave at Coral Mountain in La Quinta (the Wave), used an
oversimplified CVWD evaporation rate forthe wave pool based on a "Plant Factor of 1.10 for a stationary
body of water, and 1.20 for a moving body of water:'z The analysis does not appear to account for annual
loss due to backwash, spilling, or potential refilling of the wave pool. Compared to the La Quinta Wave
project, DSRT SURF used conservative water demand estimates that assume the surf lagoon will require
complete filling each year, accounts for water loss due to backwash and spilling, and uses historical
weather data to account for monthly temperatures, humility, wind, cloud cover, and solar radiation that
affect evaporation rates.

DSRT Surf is paying to convert 24 acres at Desert Willows golf courses into
drought tolerant landscaping which will result in annual water savings
of 34.8m gallons. The DSRT Surf lagoon will use 23.8m gallons of water
each year through an annual lagoon drainage/refill, daily water filtration, and
evaporation. Much of this water will be reclaimed through dry wells which
recharge the aquifer effectively recycling our water back into the system.

employees, or subcontractors;
(b) Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the
premises by Developer, its officers, agents, employees, or Subcontractors under or
pursuant to the provisions of this contract or otherwise;

an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of the City under and provision of
this agreement, Developer shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is

others as required here, Developer agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms
of this section.

assigns or heirs of Developer and shall survive the termination of this agreement or this
section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement hereunder. This
Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Indemnitees may have

any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be indemnified
hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies to the
Developer under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving such claims; provided,
however, City may release such funds if the Developer provides City with reasonable
assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in its sole discretion,
determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

PRELIMINARY PLAN OF FINANCE
Debt—Debt capital is available in the market via debt funds, hybrid funds, traditional lending
institutions, and other public and private capital providers. We are currently working with a
number of groups to underwrite different components of the project (residential, hotel, and surf
destination).
Equity—Equity is available in the market via different fund structures, larger institutions, smaller
family office providers, and individual investors. To date, DSRT is funded by a handful of
individuals with one substantial individual investor—our Managing Member-- anchoring the
project. This investor is committed to seeing the project through and has already committed
more than $10 mln to date.
Incentive dollars—The project will utilize up to $20 mln of Redevelopment Agency bond dollars
for construction. Given that the project will have a substantial amount of public parking, there is
ample opportunity to utilize these funds.

so requests the same in writing or as the City otherwise determines such joint or third
party payment is necessary to obtain lien releases.
C. Withholding Payments. The City shall withhold payment for Progress
Payment Nos. 4 & 5 until Acceptable Title to land on which any Facility required by the

accordance with Section 8122 et seq. of the Civil Code have been provided by the
Developer for such Facility. The City may waive this limitation upon the provision by the
Developer of sureties, undertakings, securities and/or bonds of the Developer or
appropriate contractors or subcontractors and deemed satisfactory by the Director of
Public Works to assure payment of such claims.
The City shall withhold Progress Payment Nos. 4 & 5 until: (i) the City Manager

Milestones to be completed in connection with such Progress Payment, (ii) the expiration
thereafter of a maintenance/warranty period (or in lieu thereof, posting of a maintenance
or warranty bond to remain in effect for such warranty period) consistent with applicable
City policy and Section 5.5 hereof, (iii) the issuance of certificates of occupancy for 100%
the Residential Units; and (iv) after review and approval by the City of the total aggregate
Actual Costs of the Facilities and the allocation of other related project costs to the

net of the required retention.
E. Frequency. No more than one Payment Request shall be submitted by the

Section 8.1. Mutual Consent. This Acquisition Agreement may be terminated by
the mutual, written consent of the City and the Developer, in which event the City may let
contracts for any remaining work related to the Facilities not theretofore acquired from the

payments for the Purchase Price of Facilities or Progress Payments toward the Purchase

execution to be made against the property it owns within the City unless, in any of such
cases, such circumstance shall have been terminated or released within 30 days
thereafter.
C. The Developer abandons construction of the Facilities. Failure for a period
of 60 consecutive days to undertake substantial work related to the construction of the

the City elects to terminate this Acquisition Agreement, the City shall first notify the
Developer of the grounds for such termination and allow the Developer 60 days to
eliminate or mitigate to the satisfaction of the City Manager the grounds for such
termination. Such period may be extended, at the sole discretion of the City, if the
Developer to the satisfaction of the City is proceeding with diligence to eliminate or
mitigate such grounds for termination. If at the end of such period (and any extension
thereof), as determined solely by the City, the Developer has not eliminated or completely
mitigated such grounds to the satisfaction of the City, the City may then terminate this
Acquisition Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any event listed in any of clauses A.
through and including E. above has occurred, notice of which has been given by the City
to the Developer, and such event has not been cured or otherwise eliminated by the
Developer, the City may in its discretion cease making payments for the Purchase Price
of Facilities or Progress Payments toward the Purchase Prices thereof under Article III or
Article IV hereof.
Section 8.3. Force Majeure. Whenever performance is required of a party
hereunder, that party shall use all due diligence and take all necessary measures in good
faith to perform, but if completion of performance is actually delayed by reasons of floods,
earthquakes or other acts of God, war, civil commotion, riots, strikes, picketing, or other
labor disputes, pandemics, damage to work in progress by casualty, or by other cause
beyond the reasonable control of the party (financial inability excepted), then the specified
time for performance shall be extended by the amount of the delay actually so caused.

($_________) during the first twenty (20) years of the Project’s operation, in addition to
increased sales taxes generated by the anticipated increased visitation to the City.
B. The City wishes to provide Owner an incentive to operate the Project in

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY AND OWNER AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

A. Commence commercial operation of the Project by _____________. If
Owner fails to commence commercial operation prior to that date, then the City, in its sole

Project; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
CEQA), the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (State CEQA Guidelines) and the
City of Palm Desert CEQA Implementation Requirements, an Environmental Impact Report
EIR), SCH# 2019011044 (EA 18-0002) and an accompanying Mitigation Monitoring and

conditions by minute motion; and
WHEREAS, as contained herein, the Planning Commission has endeavored in good
faith to set forth the basis for its recommendation on the Project; and
WHEREAS, all of the findings, recommendations, and conclusions made by the
Planning Commission pursuant to this Resolution are based upon the oral and written
evidence presented to it as a whole and not based solely on the information provided in this

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
WHEREAS, on December 21, 2021, the Planning Commission conducted a duly
noticed public hearing on this Resolution, at which time all persons wishing to testify were
heard, and DSRT SURF was fully considered; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the foregoing recitals are true
and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare
an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the Project are
necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are
present. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the 2019 EIR and the 2021
Addendum and finds that these documents taken together contain a complete and accurate
reporting of all the potential environmental impacts associated with the DSRT SURF
Project. The Planning Commission further finds that the 2021 Addendum has been completed
in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission further
finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment.
SECTION 3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not
limited to the 2019 EIR and the 2021 Addendum, the Planning Commission finds that an
addendum is an appropriate document for disclosing the changes to the DSRT SURF Project
and that none of the conditions identified in Public Resources Code section 21166 and State
CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred,
because:
1. The amended DSRT SURF Project does not constitute a substantial change that
would require major revisions of the 2019 EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects.
2. There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under which the
DSRT SURF Project will be developed that would require major revisions of the 2019
EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
3. New information of substantial importance has not been presented that was not
known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the 2019 EIR was certified or adopted, showing any of the following: (i) that
the modifications would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined
would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental
documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to
be feasible would, in fact, be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed
previously would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt.
SECTION 4. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council readopt
those mitigation measures identified in the 2019 EIR applicable to the DSRT SURF Project and
as detailed specifically in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP") prepared
for the Addendum, attached to the Addendum at Appendix A, and attached hereto as Exhibit A.
SECTION 5. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve and
adopt the Addendum, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
SECTION 6. The 2019 EIR and the 2021 Addendum, and any other documents and
materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which these findings have been based
are on file and available for public review at Palm Desert City Hall, 73510 Fred Waring Drive,
Palm Desert, California 92260. The custodian of these records is Norma I Alley, the City Clerk
of the City.
SECTION 7. Findings for Recommended Approval of Specific Plan.
1. The DSRT SURF Specific Plan, as proposed, is consistent with the goals and
policies of the Palm Desert General Plan, including that the Project provides a
unique resort destination and sports facility consistent with the intent of the Resort
and Entertainment District. On November 14, 2019, the City Council approved
DSRT SURF Specific Plan (SP 18-0002) by Resolution 2019-82 governing the
land uses, development standards, and design guidelines for the site and
determining that the specific plan demonstrated compatibility of the applicable
goals, policies and programs contained in the General Plan. The General Plan land
use designation of Resort and Entertainment District allows development for
entertainment and resort destination uses, drawing visitors to the site. The
amendment to the specific plan includes operational function changes and
revisions to the development standards, none of which increases the density or
intensity of the Project. The compatibility of the General Plan established in the
original approval of the Project remains unchanged.
2. The proposed DSRT SURF Specific Plan is not detrimental to the health, safety,
or general welfare, or will be materially injurious to the surrounding properties or
improvements in the City of Palm Desert. The amendment to the DSRT SURF
Specific Plan is suitable and appropriate for the location, access, and topography
for development because the intent of Desert Willow is to provide resort-style
development. The site has been previously mass graded and identified for future
resort-style development, all infrastructure to support the Project is nearby and
improvements to infrastructure to support the Project are feasible, and access to
the site has been studied and is deemed sufficient to support the Project.
3. The amendments to the DSRT SURF Specific Plan are compatible with the zoning
of adjacent properties and ensures development of desirable character is
harmonious with surrounding properties because the intent of Desert Willow is to
provide a resort-style development. The Project was approved with a density of 15
3
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
dwelling units per acre (maximum 88 residential units), the amendment to the
DSRT SURF Specific Plan does not change the density nor the intensity of the
Project. In fact, the construction of the Project will only contain 83 residential units,
which is under the maximum allowed. In addition, the approved specific plan allows
for a 350-room hotel, and the Project will construct only a 92-room hotel. The new
structures incorporate compatible and integrated architecture, materials and
colors, and are not visually obstructive or disharmonious with surrounding areas,
or harm major views from adjacent properties. The grading design would not result
in any manufactured slopes or pads that create any significant adverse visual or
compatibility impacts with adjacent lots, nor block any significant views. The
Project is supported by adequate public facilities and transportation systems and
is a compatible use, type, and intensity with the surrounding areas.
SECTION 8. Findings for Recommended Approval of Tentative Map.
1. That the density of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general
and specific plans.
The amendment to the Project is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the Palm Desert General Plan ("General Plan"). The General Plan land use
designation is Resort and Entertain District that allows development for
entertainment and resort destination uses, drawing visitors to the site. General
Plan Land Use Policy 4.1 encourages unique resort complexes within the city. The
Project is a resort destination attraction of a surf lagoon with residential ownership
units that complement the Project. The subdivision includes 17.69 acres into five
5) parcels, each to accommodate its respective uses, including the surf lagoon,
hotel and surf center, stack flats including the clubhouse, and villas that are
consistent with the General Plan.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans.
The amendment to the Project and its design and improvements are consistent
with the General Plan and comply with the development standards of the Specific
Plan. In addition, the lots accommodate the building pads, internal and external
streets, drainage, utilities, and adequate access from Desert Willow.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site is physically suitable for the type of development for the Project. The
Project is a resort development that is physically suitable for the site and is
consistent with the intent of the specific plan and compatible with the surrounding
uses, which include a golf course, amenities as well as existing resort-style
residential units. The Project site is a 17.69-acre site; the parcel is adequate to
accommodate the 5.5-acre surf lagoon, surf center and facilities, hotel, and
residential units with adequate access and roadways, infrastructure, utilities, and
drainage facilities.
4
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is physically suitable for the density allowance of 15 units per acre as
specified in the DSRT SURF Specific Plan resulting in 88 residential units. The
Project amendments include 83 units which are less than the maximum density
and comply with the applicable development standards of the specific plan making
it suitable for the site.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The amended design of the subdivision or the improvements contemplated for the
Project are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially
and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The certified Environmental
Impact Report (EIR), SCH# 2019011044, addresses the environmental impacts
associated with the Project, including those impacts that could cause substantial
environmental damage. There are no known fish, wildlife habitats, or other
endangered species on the subject site. No environmental impacts are identified
which substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The amended design of the subdivision or type of improvements for the Project
are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The conditions of approval
ensure all common area structures, landscaping, sidewalks, parking lot surfacing,
and all other improvements within the Project must be continually maintained in
good condition and repair, all dead or dying landscape material must be replaced
with new landscape material, and a security construction plan must be submitted.
Compliance with these conditions will prevent the subdivision and its
improvements from causing any public health problems for those that enter the
development. Storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, streets, and all utilities are
available to the site and have the capacity to accommodate the Project. The
subdivision has been designed so the parcels have the necessary infrastructure to
adequately serve the development, and all uses as allowed by the zoning
ordinances that regulate the Project.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the planned subdivision.
The amended design or type of improvements will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the
subdivision. Public utilities for electricity, water, sewer, telecommunications, and
gas service have all been assessed for availability. The access points to the
Project have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and Public
Works as part of the overall Project includes easements for roadways, drainage
facilities, and utilities that will be recorded in the final map. There are no known
5
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
public easements traversing the subject site that would be adversely affected by
the Project.
SECTION 9. Findings for Recommended Approval of Design Review(Palm Desert
Municipal Code Section 25.68.040.
1. That the proposed development conforms to any legally adopted development
standards.
The DSRT SURF Specific Plan has land use allowances inclusive of a maximum
of the six-acre lagoon, 35,000 square feet surf center, 350 rooms for a hotel, 88
residential units, a clubhouse of 3,125 square feet, and 15,000 square feet for
maintenance and equipment buildings. The amendment to the DSRT SURF
Specific Plan includes height maximums of 50 feet for buildings and an additional
15 feet to accommodate architectural features and related roof equipment and
apparatus. The Project includes a 5. 5-acre lagoon, a 7,263-square-foot surf center
26 feet in height), a four-story, 92-room hotel (55 feet in height), 83 residential
units (ranging from 26 feet and 6 inches to 37 feet and 9 inches), 1,494-square-
foot clubhouse (24 feet 6 inches in height), and 4,909 square feet of maintenance
buildings (15 feet in height). The land uses and heights specified above are all
within the allowances of the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The building lot coverage
maximum is 50 percent; the project site proposes 19.9 percent, which is within the
required allowance. The setback requirements for the commercial component and
residential components meet the minimum setback requirements of the DSRT
SURF Specific Plan. The Desert Mid-Century Modern architecture theme is
continuous throughout the site with varying architectural elements and high-quality
materials, including the incorporation of indoor and outdoor spaces that meets the
architecture characteristics required by the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The on-site
parking, including the podium parking within the hotel and integrated garages for
the residential units, provides for the 443 required parking spaces. In addition, Lot
E will be improved to include approximately 288 parking spaces, which will have
valet services to the Project. The Project proposes all landscape remain as low
water usage desert landscaping for the entirety of the Project, including the
perimeter. The Project uses conforms to all the requirements of the DSRT SURF
Specific Plan and all other applicable requirements as conditioned.
2. That the design and location of the proposed development and its relationship to
neighboring existing or proposed developments and traffic is such that it will not
impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood; and that it
will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing
or proposed developments and that it will not create traffic hazards or congestion.
The amended Project has been designed as a destination point, including a surf
lagoon, surf center and amenities, hotel, and residential units, which are
compatible uses within a resort development. The proposed Project is located
within the Desert Willow Golf Resort, which features a mix of resort development
and existing residential units, including a mixture of timeshares and multifamily
units. The Project includes a DSRT SURF Specific Plan, which regulates land uses
6
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
and provides development standards to ensure there is continuity of architectural
style and regulation of density and heights of buildings; therefore, does not impair
the desirability of investment. The Environmental Impact Report for the Project
provided a Traffic Impact Analysis that reviewed the traffic impact, including
circulation, traffic hazards, and congestion of the uses and operation of the site,
which resulted in mitigation measures less than significant. No environmental or
traffic concerns were identified that would indicate that development in this area
would be unsuitable. The Project has also implemented a condition of approval for
a parking management plan and improvements to an offsite parking location within
proximity to the site to respond to overflow parking needs.
3. That the design and location of the proposed development is in keeping with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the
harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by this title and the
General Plan of the City.
The design and location of the amended Project is in keeping with the character of
the surrounding neighborhood and will serve as an additional attraction of the
existing resort development. The Project consists of approximately 18-acres within
an undeveloped area, with connectivity to the Desert Willow Clubhouse that is
adjoining the Project site. The property is designated Resort and Entertainment in
the General Plan, which allows development for a range of entertainment and
resort destination uses for the purpose of drawing visitors to the site, such as
theme parks and sports facilities. The Project includes the high-quality architectural
style, amenities, and more importantly, offers unique opportunities for residential
resort lifestyle and entertainment destinations inclusive of a surf lagoon and hotel,
which will attract visitors and investors to the City.
4. That the design and location of the proposed development would provide a
desirable environment for its occupants, as well as for its neighbors and that it is
aesthetically of good composition, materials, textures, and colors.
The design is a Desert Mid-Century Modern architectural theme, with sustainable
building materials incorporating the natural environment and mid-century styles.
The architectural elements include horizontal and vertical planes, varying rooflines,
shading elements, intuitive and organic wayfinding designs, natural materials, and
blurring lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design utilizes high-quality
finishes and materials, including natural elements that provide shade and create
shadow lines, such as building projections, covered walkways, arcades, and other
human-scale elements to reduce the impact of building mass and create visual
interest. The Project includes wave structures at the entry point to create a sense
of arrival. The enclosure of courtyards and balconies are visually permeable where
appropriate and step back on upper floors is utilized to further reduce the visual
impact of building mass and maximize view corridors and viewsheds of the
mountain. The Project site includes the thoughtful creation of public gathering
space to encourage interaction between guests and residents is achieved by both
passive and intentional design. Landscaping utilizes functional seating design
elements throughout the site by the use of low-rise block and/or stone walls that
serve to define landscaped areas while also providing casual seating throughout
7
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2802
the property. Open lawn and sandy beach areas in proximity to the lagoon and
pools to encourage guests to create gathering space, reminiscent of an authentic
beach experience. More intentional components of the Project include restaurants
and bars, cabanas, lounge chairs, fire pits, and recreational activity space. The
combination of designed gathering throughout the site and amenities creating
intentional spaces promotes a destination resort atmosphere envisioned for the
Project.
5. That the proposed use conforms to all the requirements of the zone in which it is
located and all other applicable requirements.
The Project uses conforms to all the requirements of the DSRT SURF Specific
Plan and all other applicable requirements. The Project use considers the need for
dedication and improvement of necessary streets and sidewalks, including the
avoidance of traffic congestion, and is designed considering topographical and
drainage conditions, including the need for dedication and improvements of
necessary structures as a part thereof. The Project's environmental assessment
and reviews of City departments and outside city agencies have included
appropriate mitigation measures and conditions of approval.
6. That the overall development of the land shall be designed to ensure the protection
of the public health, safety, and general welfare.
The overall development of the land is designed to ensure Project is consistent
with the General Plan and as analyzed in the DSRT SURF Specific Plan. The
establishment, maintenance, or operation of the Project does not appear to have
any adverse effects that are detrimental or injurious to property and improvements
within the Desert Willow Golf Resort or the general welfare of the City. Therefore,
the overall building design and the requirements imposed ensures the protection
of public health, safety, and general welfare.

Good morning Erica and everyone in Palm Desert
To whom it may concern and in regard to the DSRT Surf agenda item ,, i; 3; i ., l„"...
My name is CJ Hobgood I' m a world champion surfer and competed on the World Surf
League ( WSL) tour for 17 years — winning the title in 2001.
I would like to thank you for allowing me to continue to live my dreams through potentially
having a beautiful destination my whole family can enjoy while also getting to surf really fain
waves in the process.
Beyond that, the story that has me so hopeful is allowing Surfers and our culture to meet and
celebrate your community in Palm Desert. Allowing the kids to have a healthy lifestyle in
surfing. A lifestyle they can make there own through surfing pools and create hope and
positivity that will prosper and enhance their lives like it did mine.
Beyond thrilled for you guys to see just how many people will use this facility!!
As always stoked
Have a great day

To, Mr. Eric Ceja
Deputy Director Development Services
Dear Director Ceja,
I am writing this letter on behalf of myself and our club members of the Coachella Valley Surf Club in
favor of the DSRT Surf project in Palm Desert. Our club’s goal is to help our valley youth who are
interested in learning surfing but may not have the means to afford the equipment. We assist in raising
funds and acquire equipment for them.
As a life long surfer and a resident of Palm Desert I am excited that we will have a wave basin right here
in Palm Desert and be able to surf in our back yard.
I have many friends in coastal communities and after speaking with them and hearing how excited they
are about our new wave pool I know Palm Desert will become a mecca for costal surfers and their
families and it will attract lots of visitors to our city.
When I first met Doug and John at one of the early Planning Commission meetings, they were
enthusiastic about our club goals and it is clear to me that they are as committed to allowing access to
students we have identified as financially unable to afford to surf.
We are looking forward to your and the city final approval of this great project.
Regards,
David Hilts

SECTION 3. Findings of Approval of Tentative Map 37639.
1. That the density of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and
specific plans. ""
The project includes a surf lagoon and hotel development within the Desert Willow
Golf Resort. The General Plan provides a land -use designation of "Resort and
Entertainment District' for the entire Desert Willow Golf Resort, and describes the
purpose of the District as providing "a range of entertainment and resort
destinations uses that require large amounts of land and that draw visitors to the
City such as theme parks, hotels, and sports facilities. DSRT SURF is consistent
with the intent of the general plan in that a sports amenity and resort are part of
the project.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans.
The design and improvements of the parcel map have been reviewed by the
Planning Department, Fire Department, and Public Works Department for
consistency with the General Plan and emergency services. The lot sizes, street
and utility improvements, circulation patterns, and drainage improvements meet
all requirements of the General Plan. All perimeter streets are in conformance with
the General Plan and modifications to the surrounding roadways will improve
vehicle circulation in the vicinity. ...

CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.2019-82
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site has previously been rough graded and stabilized as part of the Desert
Willow Resort development. A portion of the site has been developed with an
asphalt parking lot, and all utilities to support the development are nearby to serve
the development. The EIR for the project has studied all potentially significant
environmental impacts and finds that the site is suitable for this type of
development.
4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The project site is surrounded by the existing golf course and multi -story timeshare
development to the north, south, east, and west. As proposed, the site layout and
distribution of land uses are consistent with surrounding development and the
intent of the "Resort and Entertainment District" land use identified in the General
Plan. The Specific Plan includes allowances for the development of hotel,
commercial, and recreational development within the project area at heights and
intensities similar to existing timeshare development within the immediate area.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat.
For purposes of the CEQA, an EIR has been adopted for the project. The action to
approve the TTM to further subdivide the property will not cause substantial
environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat since the surrounding
area has been developed with similar densities and limited wildlife is present at the
site. Environmental studies performed at the site did not identify any endangered or
sensitive species. In addition, the project will pay into the Coachella Valley Multi -
Species Habitat Conservation fund for the development of raw land.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design and layout of the tract map are in compliance with all grading, drainage,
shared vehicle access, and parking requirements of the SP. The properties will be
developed in accordance with the Uniform California Building Code. Grade
changes and utility easements are accommodated by the building and street layout
and open space provided throughout the project site. Pedestrian access is
provided to adjoining land uses via sidewalks and other pedestrian walkways.
Mitigation measures are also in place to minimize air and noise impacts from the
project to nearby properties.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the planned subdivision.
The project will utilize and enhance existing drainage, water, and electrical
distribution easements located within and adjacent to the project site. The tract
'93
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.2019-82
map identifies the use of this area and will record an easement for drainage memo
purposes. Improvements related to drainage will be provided to ensure the project
area accommodates 100 percent of the 100-year storm. Surrounding perimeter 6-0
City streets are built -out to the General Plan designation. In addition, the developer
and the City will make modifications to install a new traffic signal at the intersection
of Cook Street and Marketplace Drive to accommodate existing and increased
vehicular traffic demand.
SECTION 4. Findings for Recommended Approval of Specific Plan.
1. The DSRT SURF SP, as proposed, is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Palm Desert General Plan, including that the project provides a unique resort destination and
recreational amenity consistent with the intent of the Resort and Entertainment District,
provides an appropriate scale of development that is compatible with the Desert Willow Golf
Resort, expands local employment offerings, and increases the City's sales tax base.
2. The DSRT SURF SP is compatible with adjacent properties and surrounding uses
and development standards are similar to existing standards for the Desert Willow Golf
Resort, and the Westin Desert Willow Villas, in that building heights and setback standards
are similar, that the new buildings are substantially setback from existing residential
development, and the resort nature of DSRT SURF is compatible with the existing resort uses

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: RECITALS
The recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by
reference as findings of fact.
SECTION 2: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on all of the evidence presented and the entirety of the administrative record,
including but not limited to the EIR, written and oral testimony given at public hearings, and
the submission of testimony from the public, organizations and regulatory agencies, the
following environmental impacts associated with the Project are either: (1) less than
significant and do not require mitigation; or (2) potentially significant but will be avoided or
reduced to a level of insignificance through the identified Mitigation Measures; or (3)
significant and cannot be fully mitigated to a level of less than significant but will be lessened
to the extent feasible by the identified Mitigation Measures.
SECTION 3: FINDINGS REGARDING NO IMPACT DETERMINATIONS IN THE INITIAL
STUDY/NOTICE OF PREPARATION.
The City prepared an Initial Study/Notice of Preparation for the Project and circulated
it for public comment from January 22, 2019 to February 20, 2019. State CEQA Guidelines
section 15091 does not require specific findings to address environmental effects that an EIR
identifies as "no impact'. Nevertheless, the City Council hereby finds that the Project would
have no impact or on the following resource areas:
A. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
Thresholds:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code
section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Code section 51104(g))?
so"
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non -forest use?
6.0
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion
of forest land to non -forest use?
Finding. No Impact (IS/NOP page 19-20)
Explanation:
The Initial Study determined that the Project would result in "No Impact' to agriculture or
forestry resources within the immediate project vicinity because no agricultural or forestry
lands occur in the City.
B. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Thresholds:
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Service.
...
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on State or federally protected wetlands (including,
but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means.
d) 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) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such
as a tree preservation policy or ordinance.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat
conservation plan.
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 21-24)
Explanation:
The Project site does not contain any streams, riparian habitat, marshes, protected wetlands,
vernal pools or sensitive natural communities protected by the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The subject property is an isolated piece of land located within an urban area and surrounded
by golf courses, landscaping, residential and commercial developments, and roadways. Due
4
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
to surrounding human activity over many years, the site does not contain features that are
suitable for a migratory wildlife corridor.
The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated Conservation Area, has been
disturbed, and no CVMSHCP-covered species were found on the property. The
implementation of the proposed Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted
habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other related plans.
C. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Thresholds:
The following significance criteria were not discussed further in the EIR because the Initial
Study/Notice of Preparation determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result
of the proposed Project:
a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-
Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or
based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines
and Geology Special Publication 42.
iv) Landslides?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of waste water?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 32-35)
Explanation:
The subject property is not located within or adjacent to an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault
Zone. The nearest earthquake fault is the Banning fault of the San Andreas Fault Zone,
approximately six miles northeast of the site.
The Project site is on the sand ridge portion of the valley floor, which consists of and is
surrounded by gently sloping land and relatively flat terrain. The nearest hillsides and
mountainous slopes are approximately 3.40 miles southwest of the property. Therefore, no
impacts associated with landslides would occur.
The Project site is located in an area served by existing sewerage infrastructure, including
lines serving the development site. The CVWD Cook Street plant will receive and treat
sewage discharged into its collection system. The Project would not require the use of septic
tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems.
D. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Thresholds: dMM
The following significance criteria were not discussed further in the EIR because the Initial &u+
Study/Notice of Preparation determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result
of the proposed Project:
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled
pursuant to Government Code Section 65962,5 and, as a result, would it create a
significant hazard to the public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not
been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the
project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in
the project area?
g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss,
injury or death involving wildland fires?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 37-39)
Explanation:
There is no school located within 1/o mile of the Project site. James Earl Carter Elementary %kM
School is the nearest public elementary school and is located approximately 1.10 miles south
of the proposed site.
The Project site is partially developed with an existing parking lot. There are no hazardous
materials or waste sites located on or near the Project site. In addition, the proposed site is
not included on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.
The Bermuda Dunes Airport (UDD) is located approximately 4.8 miles east of the subject
property. The Project planning area is located well outside the airport planning boundary and
operational and navigational hazard area. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result
in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working at the Project site.
The Project site is located in the City's urban core, and is not located in a wildland fire hazard
zone and is not susceptible to wildfires. Therefore, the Project would not subject people or
structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death as a result of exposure to wildland fires.
E. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Threshold:
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The following significance criteria were not discussed further in the EIR because the Initial
Study/Notice of Preparation determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result
of the proposed Project:
a) Would the Project physically divide an established community?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 44-45)
Explanation:
The subject property is currently partially developed with an existing surface parking lot and
is located within the Desert Willow Golf Course. The Desert Willow Firecliff Course and
Mountain View Course, will not be affected by the proposed Project. The surrounding
established communities are physically separate from and operate independently of the
proposed Project. The proposed Project will not be physically divided any community.
F. MINERAL RESOURCES
Thresholds:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to
the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Findin : No Impact (IS/NOP page 46)
Explanation:
The Project site occurs in an urban setting and is not designated for mineral resource
extraction so it would not result in the loss of availability of a mineral resource or a mineral
resource recovery site.
G. NOISE
The following significance criteria were not discussed further in the EIR because the Initial
Study/Notice of Preparation determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result
of the proposed Project:
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan
or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or
public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project
area to excessive noise levels?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 47-48)
Explanation:

The Project site is located approximately five miles west of the Bermuda Dunes Airport (UDD)
and is well outside existing and modeled future airport noise contours. am*
H. POPULATION AND HOUSING
��irr Telr1
The following significance criteria were not discussed further in the EIR because the Initial
Study/Notice of Preparation determined there would be no environmental impacts as a result
of the proposed Project:
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 49-50)
Explanation:
The subject property is largely vacant, with the exception of a portion of the clubhouse parking
lot, and the proposed Project would not displace any existing housing. The development of
the Project would also not cause the displacement of any persons or require the construction
of housing elsewhere.
I. RECREATION ,.,.
Thresholds:
a) Would the Project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or
other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility
would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the Project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion
of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 54)
Explanation:
The primary Project uses that might generate a demand for City recreation facilities would be
residents associated with the proposed 88 villa residences. To a lesser degree hotel and surf
park guests may also make use of some City recreational facilities. The proposed villas could
generate an estimated permanent population of 190 residents, depending on how they are
sold and occupied. The proposed villas and the hotel(s) will include their own onsite
recreational amenities including swimming pools, gymnasium and event spaces. Hotel guests
can be expected to utilize onsite recreational amenities as well as local and regional
recreational facilities. In the overall, and in light of the planned on -site recreational facilities
associated with the proposed Project, it will not induce substantial population growth that
would result in significant impacts to existing neighborhood and regional parks or other `""
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
recreational facilities.
J. WILDFIRES
Thresholds:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation
plan?
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and
thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the
uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads,
fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may
exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the
environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream
flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post -fire slope instability, or drainage
changes?
Finding: No Impact (IS/NOP page 65-63)
Explanation:
The primary emergency evacuation routes in the City include 1-10, Highway 111, Monterey
Avenue, Portola Avenue, Cook Street, and Washington Street. Development on the subject
property would not substantially impair the City's adopted emergency response plan or Palm
Deserts' emergency evacuation plan as the project is not proposing to amend these routes
to impede the emergency evacuation.
The project site is not located within a wildfire hazard severity zone nor a wildland-urban
interface (WUI). The project is located in the urban core of the City, and miles from an area
of wildland fire potential.
The implementation of the proposed Project would not expose people or structures to
significant risks such as downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, post -fire slope
instability, or drainage changes because the site is in the City's urban core, and miles from
surrounding mountain slopes.
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 4: FINDINGS REGARDING LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS NOT
REQUIRING MITIGATION. owft
Consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21002.1 and Section 15128 of the '""
State CEQA Guidelines, the EIR focused its analysis on potentially significant impacts, and
limited discussion of other impacts for which it can be seen with certainty there is no potential
for significant adverse environmental impacts. State CEQA Guidelines section 15091 does
not require specific findings to address environmental effects that an EIR identifies as "no
impact" or a "less than significant' impact. Nevertheless, the City Council hereby finds that
the Project would have either no impact or a less than significant impact on the following
resource areas.
A. AESTHETICS
1. Scenic Vistas
Threshold:
a) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
Finding: Less than significant impact. (EIR, p. 2.2-4 through 2.2-20)
Explanation:
...
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
Construction of the Surf Lagoon and Surf Center will require the use of heavy equipment "No
which has the potential to impact views from surrounding uses, including the golf course,
Westin Desert Willow, and residents of the Montecito and Retreat developments.
Construction impacts will be limited by distance, grade, and occur only while construction is
active. These limited view impacts will stop when construction is complete and are therefore
less than significant.
Building heights within the Surf Center complex will be limited to a maximum of 2 stories with
the tallest building at 42t feet, although the Specific Plan allows a maximum height of 50 feet
for the surf center. These building heights are consistent with the Desert Willow Golf Course
Clubhouse to the north, and other nearby resort development, including the two- to four-story
Westin Desert Willow villas to the immediate west and southwest.
In general, the site plan preserves the most prominent scenic views of the Santa Rosa
Mountains to the south. Most of the golf course lies further north, east, and south of the
Project, and the Project will have no impact on mountain views from those locations, and
therefore no impact on views from most of the golf course. The proposed building sizes are
relatively small in the context of the golf course fairways, and views through the site, between
the surf center and equipment buildings, will be generally unaffected, as the lagoon will be
low-lying. Overall, impacts will be limited by distance and grade, which reduces the potential
impacts to scenic vistas to less than significant levels.
Hotels and Villas
Construction of the hotel(s) and villas will require the use of heavy equipment which has the
potential to impact views from surrounding uses. Short term views from the golf course areas
H
..M
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
located immediately north and south may be impacted by heavy equipment and construction
activities. However, as golf course viewers move through the area, they will be impacted for
short periods and will move on to other areas of the course. Construction of the hotel and villa
buildings will occur in close proximity to the Westin Desert Willow on its eastern boundary.
The Westin's guests immediately adjacent to the Project site, and in third or fourth story units,
will view the construction activities to the east. Buildings planned adjacent to these existing
units will be one- and two-story spa and villas, with the hotel buildings occurring beyond. The
Westin guests will experience obstruction of low range views to the east, but will still see
views of the mountain peaks above. These limited view impacts will stop when construction
is complete, and are therefore less than significant.
The Project Specific Plan allows the hotel building(s) to have a maximum height of 50 feet
and are envisioned as 3- and 4-story buildings, and the villas are envisioned as 2-story units.
These heights are consistent with the proposed surf center, Desert Willow Golf Course
clubhouse to the north, and Westin Desert Willow villas to the west. Views to the north, of the
San Bernardino Mountains, will be reduced as regards the foothills, but the peaks and the
extent of the range will still be visible above the hotel and villa buildings Similar to the Surf
Lagoon and Surf Center, overall impacts will be limited by distance and grade, which reduces
the potential impacts to scenic vistas to less than significant levels.
Off -site Improvements
Construction of off -site improvements will be temporary, and impacts are expected to be less
than significant.
Stormwater Management: Stormwater management infrastructure will be underground and
will have no impact on a scenic vista.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Pool/lagoon discharge infrastructure will be underground and will
have no impact on a scenic vista.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal of golf course turf and installation of desert landscaping
materials will have a less than significant impact on scenic vistas. New vegetation will be
similar in height, scale, and density to existing golf course landscaping and will not block
views of the mountains.
Landscaping Improvements: Desert landscaping along the edge of the Project site will have
a less than significant impact on scenic vistas. Vegetation will be similar in height, scale, and
density to existing landscaping in the Project area and will not block views of the mountains.
Overflow Parking: The overflow parking lot will be paved and improved to City standards.
New lighting fixtures and trees will be evenly spaced throughout the site and will not block
views of the mountains. Impacts will be less than significant.
2. Scenic Resources
Threshold:
b) Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Finding: No impact. (EIR, pp. 2.2-20 and 2.2-21) "'
Explanation: The Project site is not located adjacent to a state scenic highway and does not b"a
contain scenic resources. There will be no impact resulting from development of the surf
lagoon and surf center, the hotels and villas, or off -site improvements.
3. Existing Visual Character
Threshold:
c) In non -urbanized areas, would the Project substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are
those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in
an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other
regulations governing scenic quality?
Finding: No impact. (EIR, pp. 2.2-21 and 2.2-25)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
The development of the lagoon and surf center would have short-term impacts on the visual
character of the site due to the presence of heavy equipment and related construction ..,
activities. However, the views from the surrounding golf course of construction equipment will
end once construction is complete, and will not permanently impact scenic quality. Impacts use
will be less than significant.
The Project is consistent with the visual character and scenic quality of the area, which is
characterized by resort development, native and drought -tolerant landscaping, and
architectural themes, materials, and colors that complement the desert environment. It will
not conflict with City policies preserving signature view corridors or scenic roadways. Visual
impacts are reduced via site planning, grade differences, and relative distances from
surrounding land uses. Impacts to visual character and public views will be less than
significant.
Hotels and Villas
The development of the hotel and villas components of the Project would have short-term
impacts on the visual character of the site due to the presence of heavy equipment and related
construction activities. The views from the surrounding golf course of construction equipment
will end once construction is complete, and will not permanently impact scenic quality.
Impacts will be less than significant.
The hotel and villas portion of the Project will be subject to the Specific Plan regulations, and
the City's Municipal Code. It will be consistent with the prevailing desert-themed architectural
styles of other hotel and resort development in the region. The hotel and villas will not conflict
with applicable zoning or other regulations governing scenic quality, including those aimed at
preserving view corridors, scenic roadways, and night skies. Impacts will be less than
significant.
12
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Off -site Improvements
The construction of the off -site infrastructure for the Project would have short-term impacts
on the visual character of portions of the golf course due to the presence of heavy equipment,
trenching and similar activities. The views from the surrounding golf course of construction
equipment will end once infrastructure facilities are complete, and will not permanently impact
scenic quality. Impacts will be less than significant.
Stormwater Management: Stormwater infrastructure will be buried underground and will have
no impact on visual character or regulations governing scenic quality.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Pool/lagoon discharge infrastructure will be buried underground and
will have no impact on visual character or regulations governing scenic quality.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: The replacement of golf course turf with desert landscaping will
have no impact on visual character or regulations governing scenic quality.
Landscaping Improvements: Installation of desert landscaping along the edge of the Project
site will be consistent with and a continuation of existing desert landscaping in the Project
area. No impact will occur.
Overflow Parking: The overflow parking lot has already been disturbed by vehicle use and is
consistent with existing parking lots to the south and southeast. Paving and improvement of
the lot will have no impact on visual character or regulations governing scenic quality.
B. AIR QUALITY
1. Conflict with Air Quality Plan
Threshold -
a) Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
Finding: No impact. (EIR, pp. 2.3-12 and -13)
Explanation: Under CEQA, a significant air quality impact could occur if the Project is not
consistent with the applicable Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) or would obstruct the
implementation of the policies or hinder reaching the goals of that plan. The 2016 AQMP is
based in part on the land use plans of local jurisdictions, including the City of Palm Desert's
General Plan. The proposed Project site is designated as Resort and Entertainment District
on the City's General Plan Land Use Map and the proposed Project is consistent with the
land use designation. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed Project (including the surf
lagoon and surf center, hotel and villas, and off -site improvements) will result in emissions
consistent with those anticipated in the 2016 AQMP. The proposed Project would be
implemented in accordance with all applicable air quality management plans to ensure
impacts to air quality are reduced to the greatest extent possible. The proposed Project is
consistent with the assumptions underlying the AQMP and will not conflict with or obstruct
implementation of the applicable air quality plan. No impact is anticipated.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
2. Expose Sensitive Receptors to Substantial Pollutant Concentrations
Threshold:
%_0
d) Would the Project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Finding: Less than significant impact. (EIR, p. 2.3-19)
Explanation: The nearest sensitive receptors to the proposed Project are resort residences
approximately 150 feet to the west, in the Westin Desert Willow villas project.
Results of the Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis conclude that thresholds are
not expected to be exceeded for any criteria pollutant during construction of the Surf Lagoon
and Surf Center, the Hotel and Villas, or off -site improvements (EIR Table 2.3-8, page 2.3-
19). Because the proposed land uses do not include major stationary polluters (such as a
landfill, chemical plant, oil field, refineries etc.), LST analysis was not conducted or required
for Project operation. Therefore, impacts to sensitive receptors will be less than significant.
3. Objectionable Odors
Threshold:
e) Would the Project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely
affecting a substantial number of people?
Finding: Less than significant impact. (EIR, pp. 2.3-20) f,ft
Explanation: The proposed Project has the potential to result in short-term odors associated
with operation of heavy equipment during construction, however construction -related odors
would be temporary and quickly dispersed below detectable levels as distance from the
construction area increases. During Project operation, odors may be emitted from onsite
restaurants and food service facilities; however, all facilities would be equipped with proper
ventilation systems to effectively remove grease, smoke, and other odors. Impacts associated
with odors will be less than significant. The Project (including the Surf Center and Surf
Lagoon, Hotel and Villas, and off -site improvements) is not expected to result in odor
emissions adversely affecting a substantial number of people.
C. CULTURAL AND TRIBAL RESOURCES
1. Historical Resources
Threshold:
a) Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
historical resource as defined in § 15064.5?
Finding: No impact. (EIR, p. 2.5-12 and -13)
14
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Explanation: As described in Section 2.5.5 of the EIR, the subject property once contained
two "jackrabbit homestead" structures built between 1952 and 1960; however, they were not
formally recorded as historic structures, and no remnants of them were found during the 2018
cultural resources field survey. No other historical structures exist onsite, and the site is not
designated as a local historic landmark or property. Development of the surf lagoon and surf
center, hotels and villas, and off -site improvements will have no impact on historic resources.
2. Tribal Cultural Resources
a) Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal
cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site,
feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size
and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California
Native American Tribe, and that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register
of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public
Resources Code section 5020.1(k)?
Finding: No Impact (EIR, p. 2.5-15 and -16)
Explanation: The proposed Project (including the surf lagoon and surf center, hotels and
villas, and off -site improvements) will not impact a tribal historic resource that is eligible for
listing in the California Register of Historical Resources or in a local register of historical
resources because none occur onsite. As explained in Section 2.5.6.a of the EIR, the site -
specific cultural resources survey determined that the Project site contains no historical
resources. The proposed Project area is not identified by the City of Palm Desert as a historic
site or landmark. No impact will occur.
D. ENERGY
1. Energy Consumption
Threshold:
a) Would the Project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project
construction or operation?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.6-10 through -15)
Explanation: During Project construction, energy would be consumed in petroleum -based
fuels for equipment, electricity associated with water conveyance and site lighting, and energy
used in the production of construction materials. Overall, construction impacts associated
with the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas, and off -site improvements would be temporary,
minimal and would not be wasteful or inefficient.
During operation of the Project, energy would be consumed for heating/ventilating/air
conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, lighting, electronics, office equipment, residential and
15
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
commercial machinery (including kitchen appliances), and swimming pool operations,
including wave generation at the surf lagoon. Energy would also be consumed for water
pumping, solid waste disposal, and vehicle trips.
r..
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas
Operation of these land uses would consume approximately 21,711,725 kWh per year of
electricity, and 331,811 therms per year of natural gas, which represents a 2.87 percent
increase in annual City-wide kWh usage and 1.89 percent increase in annual City-wide therm
usage. The Project proposes the installation of solar panels onsite which could generate an
estimated 1,700,000 kWh per year. Operation of the solar panels will offset the Project's
electrical demand, thereby reducing it to approximately 20,011,725 kWh per year, which
represents approximately 2.64 percent of the City's total annual electricity demand.
Adherence to California Building Code and Energy Code standards will ensure the most
energy efficient technologies and practices are used for the development and operation of
the Project. The Project will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
electricity or natural gas energy resources during project operation. Impacts are less than
significant.
With regard to transportation energy, the Project would result in the consumption of
petroleum -based fuels related to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. The Project
could potentially generate 12,213,217 VMTs. This represents a 2.4 percent increase in City-
wide VMTs. It should be noted that VMTs are regional in nature, and that not all Project VMTs
will occur solely within the City's boundaries. The EPA and CARB continue to require
increased vehicle fuel efficiency standards to reduce vehicle emissions. Increased fuel
efficiency also means that less fuel energy is required per mile traveled. Although the Project
will result in a direct increase in VMTs, the Project will not interfere with increased fuel
efficiency standards and will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
transportation energy resources during operation. Impacts are less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
Offsite improvements are limited to utility infrastructure expansions, offsite parking, and
landscaping improvements. Such improvements will not generate an operational demand for
electricity, natural gas, or transportation energy, and will therefore have no impact on energy
supplies.
2. Energy Efficiency Compliance
Threshold:
b) Will the Project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or
energy efficiency?
Finding: No impact (EIR, p. 2.6-15)
Explanation: All aspects of the Project (including the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas,
and off -site improvements) would be designed, built and operated in accordance with all `'"'
16
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
existing, applicable regulations that would serve to reduce the energy demand of the Project
and avoid conflict with any applicable energy standards, including energy conservation
standards. Such regulations and standards include the 2016 Building Code, California Green
Building Code, and 2019 Energy Code to ensure the most efficient construction/building
technologies are used, which will benefit overall building operations. Adherence to the
applicable state standards enforced by the City will ensure the project is consistent with
current energy standards and conservation goals. Therefore, no impact related to compliance
with applicable energy standards would result.
E. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
1. Expansive Soils
Threshold:
d) Would the Project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the
Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or
property?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.7-20 and -21)
Explanation: The site -specific geotechnical report determined that onsite soils consist of silty
sand which has a very low expansion potential; therefore, Project impacts (including the surf
lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas, and off -site improvements) would be less than significant.
F. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Threshold:
a) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of
hazardous materials into the environment?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.9-9 through -11)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas
Construction of the surf lagoon, surf center, hotel and villas would involve the temporary use
of potentially hazardous materials, including vehicle fuels, paints, oils, and transmission
fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and used in
accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and handled in compliance with applicable
federal, State, and local regulations. Any associated risk would be adequately reduced to a
less than significant level through compliance with these standards and regulations.
17
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Operation would involve use of limited quantities of hazardous materials such as cleaning
and degreasing solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and similar materials. The surf lagoon would one
use basic cleaning equipment and chemicals to maintain the pH levels for surfers. These
chemicals will be transported and stored within the project site. These will occur in limited ..r
quantities and will not require a hazardous material handling/storage permit. The manner in
which commercial chemicals are stored and handled is highly regulated by the Fire
Department, County and State. These standard requirements will assure that impacts
associated with commercial quantities of chemicals will be less than significant.
Off -Site Improvements
The proposed off -site improvements are limited to underground utility extensions, stormwater
management, landscaping, and parking. These activities and land uses will not require the
routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. This portion of the Project will not
create a significant hazard to the public or environment. There will be no impacts.
G. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Threshold:
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project
inundation?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.10-31 and -32)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel, Villas, and Off -site Improvements
The Project site is not located close to a large body of water, tidal or otherwise, that could
result in inundation by seiche or tsunami. The proposed Project site is not in a flood hazard
or tsunami inundation zone and would not be subject to inundation by a flood or tsunami.
The surf lagoon would be a reinforced concrete structure designed to contain any seismically -
induced oscillations within the lagoon without any structural damage to result in spill over or
release of pollutants. Less than significant impact is anticipated.
H. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Threshold:
b) Would the Project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any
land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating
an environmental effect?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.11-11 through -23)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
All lands adjacent to the site are currently designated as Resort and Entertainment and
developed as golf course except the Westin Desert Willow Villas to the southwest of the site. two
18
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The Surf Lagoon and Surf Center are proposing a mix of entertainment, recreation and
commercial uses consistent with those described in the General Plan, including the surf
lagoon, pools, recreational activities, restaurants, bars, and event space for live music and
other entertainment activities. The Project site is appropriate for mixed used development of
the type proposed. Therefore, the proposed plans for the Surf Lagoon and Surf Center are
consistent with the City's General Plan.
The design, and development standards of the proposed Surf Lagoon Planning Area will be
regulated through the Specific Plan and a Precise Plan based on City Municipal Code Section
25.72.030 (Precise Plan). The Surf Lagoon Planning Area was designed in accordance with
the proposed Specific Plan and is therefore consistent with the Municipal Code and zoning
standards. A Precise Plan further defines and implements the goals and objectives of the
Specific Plan by providing specific designs and plans that ultimately regulate the construction
of the Project.
The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated Conservation Area; thus, the
implementation of the proposed Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted
habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other related plans
designed to avoid an environmental impact.
Hotels and Villas
The Project proposes resort residential development comparable to that permitted elsewhere
within the Desert Willow development. The proposed hotel(s) will also be consistent with the
other hotels in the surrounding area, and is consistent with the hotels proposed for Planning
Area 10 of the North Sphere Specific Plan, which established the Desert Willow project.
Therefore, the proposed land use plans for the Hotels and Villas are consistent with the City's
General Plan.
The design, and development standards of the proposed Hotels and Villas Planning Area will
be regulated through the Specific Plan. A Precise Plan for the Hotels and Villas Planning area
shall be submitted to the City for review per City Municipal Code Section 25.72.030. The City
shall review the Precise Plan for consistency with the Specific Plan to ensure the Hotels and
Villas Planning area development is consistent with the Municipal Code and zoning
standards.
The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated Conservation Area; thus, the
implementation of the proposed Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted
habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other related plans
designed to avoid an environmental impact.
Off -Site Improvements
With the exception of off -site parking, other off -site improvements will not result in a land use
change and will not involve zoning. The off -site parking improvements (overflow parking) will
occur on lands owned by the City and currently used as additional parking. Off -site
improvements are consistent with General Plan land uses and the City's Municipal Code.
19
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated Conservation Area; thus, the
implementation of the proposed Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Now
habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other related plans
designed to avoid an environmental impact.
I. NOISE
1. Ambient Noise Levels
Threshold:
a) Would the Project result in generation of substantial temporary or permanent increase
in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established
in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other
agencies?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.12-13 through -28)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
Construction of the proposed Project would require the use of heavy equipment for Project
site preparation/excavation, installation of new utilities, and building construction.
Development activities would involve the use of smaller power tools, generators, and other
sources of noise. The highest construction noise levels will be perceived at receiver location
R2 during grading which could reach up to 68.4 dBA Leq at 90 feet. These noise levels would
reduce with distance from the construction site at a rate of approximately 6 dB(A) per doubling
of distance. As shown in Table 2.12-13 of the EIR (p.2.12-20), Unmitigated Construction
Equipment Noise Level Summary, the maximum unmitigated construction noise level will
range from approximately 28.5 dBA to 68.4 dBA Leq at the receiver locations. Construction
activities will not exceed the NIOSH standard, and will be less than significant.
The dominant noise sources attributable to the lagoon and surf center are the wave
generating machine and special events outdoor activities. Based on the analysis described
in the EIR, noise levels of 83.6 and 66.8 dBA at 50 feet would attenuate to 49.2 dBA Leq at
the closest sensitive receiver, R2. None of the project components is expected to exceed the
City's exterior noise level standards for either daytime or nighttime conditions at any of the
sensitive receivers. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Hotel and Villas
The highest construction noise levels will be perceived at receiver location R2 during grading
which could reach up to 68.4 dBA Leq at 90 feet. These noise levels would reduce with
distance from the construction site at a rate of approximately 6 dB(A) per doubling of distance.
As shown in Table 2.12-13 of the EIR (p.2.12-20), Unmitigated Construction Equipment Noise
Level Summary, the maximum unmitigated construction noise level will range from
approximately 28.5 dBA to 68.4 dBA Leq at the receiver locations. Construction activities will
not exceed the NIOSH standard, and will be less than significant.
20
.r
%40
4-0
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The dominant noise sources in this planning area would be vehicular traffic accessing the
site, grounds maintenance equipment, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units,
and outdoor swimming pool/spa activities which could reach up to 57.8 dBA Leq at 50 feet.
Based on the project's noise impact analysis, the City's noise standards allow outdoor noise
levels of 65 and 55 dBA CNEL in the commercial area during the day and night times,
respectively. None of the project components is expected to exceed the City's exterior noise
level standards for either daytime and nighttime hours. Therefore, impacts would be less than
significant.
Off -site Improvements
Construction activities associated with off -site improvements would generate temporary noise
for trenching, excavation, turf removal, landscaping, and paving. These noise levels would
not be expected to be any greater than the noise levels generated by Project construction.
As demonstrated above, Project construction noise levels will be less than significant at all
the closest sensitive receptors. Therefore, construction of off -site improvements would also
result in less than significant noise impacts. Once off -site improvements are completed, with
the exception of off -site parking, no noise would be generated.
At buildout, the off -site parking lot will be used to accommodate vehicles off -site during special
events where the main noise source would be vehicular traffic. As shown in Table 2.12-5 in
the EIR, Reference Noise Level Measurements, parking lot activities can be expected to
generate noise levels of 50.0 dBA at 50 feet. Since the off -site parking area is located adjacent
to commercial development, this noise level will be less than significant, based on the City's
noise thresholds.
2. Groundborne Vibration and Noise Levels
Threshold:
b) Would the Project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or
groundborne noise levels?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.12-29 through -31)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel, Villas, and Off -site Improvements
Construction activities such as grading activities, construction equipment and trucks hauling
project materials would have the potential to generate low levels of ground -borne vibration
within the Project area. As shown in Table 2.12-17 of the EIR (p. 2.12-19), construction
vibration velocities would reach up to 0.009 inches per second RMS. The threshold for
construction vibration velocity in Riverside County is 0.01 inches per second RMS.
Construction vibration velocities at all six receiver locations would be below the threshold and
therefore are considered less than significant.
According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), construction vibration levels ranging
from 0.12 to 0.5 inches per second PPV are damaging for buildings. Project -related
construction vibration levels would reach up to 0.013 inches per second PPV, which is below
the 0.12 inches per second PPV. Therefore, a less than significant impact is anticipated.
21
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
At buildout, no operational components of the proposed Project include significant wage
groundborne noise or vibration sources and no significant vibrations sources currently exist,
or are planned, in the Project area. Thus, no significant groundborne noise or vibration
impacts would occur with the operation of the proposed Project.
J. POPULATION AND HOUSING
Threshold:
a) Would the Project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
Findin : Less than significant (EIR, p 2.13-4 and -5)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
The surf center and lagoon will generate a variety of new jobs, including retail, restaurant
service jobs, recreational instructors and emergency personnel. However, on -site
employment opportunities are expected to be filled by people already living in the valley, or
those moving to the valley as part of expected population growth; therefore, impacts
associated with new employment opportunities associated with the proposed Project are so%
expected to be minor and less than significant.
.w
Development of the Surf Lagoon Planning Area will not require the expansion, extension or
construction of new public streets or utilities that would indirectly induce population growth
because all infrastructure required to serve the Project exists adjacent to the Project. Impacts
will be less than significant.
Hotels and Villas
The Hotels and Villas will generate new jobs. However, on -site employment opportunities are
expected to be filled by people already living in the valley, or those moving to the valley as
part of expected population growth; therefore, impacts associated with new employment
opportunities associated with the proposed Project are expected to be minor and less than
significant.
Although timeshares and/or hotel -serviced villas are anticipated, the Specific Plan also allows
for single-family housing units. Given the city's average household size of 2.17 persons', 88
new residential villas of the Project could potentially increase the permanent population by
approximately 191 persons. This represents 0.3% of the City's anticipated 2040 population
of 61,700, which would have a less than significant impact on the overall population of the
area.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Development of the Hotels and Villas Planning Area will not require the expansion, extension
or construction of new public streets or utilities that would indirectly induce population growth
because all infrastructure required to serve the Project exists adjacent to the Project. Impacts
will be less than significant.
Off -Site Improvements
Off -site improvements include stormwater management, pool/lagoon discharge, golf course
turf reduction, landscaping improvements, overflow parking, and soil removal/storage. These
activities will not induce population growth either directly or indirectly, and therefore there will
be no impacts.
K. PUBLIC SERVICES
Threshold:
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
Schools
Parks
Other public facilities
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.14-11 through -14)
Explanation:
Schools
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
This component of the proposed Project will not generate permanent population and,
therefore, will have no impact on schools. The Project will, however, be required to pay the
mandated school mitigation fees imposed by the State for commercial construction. Based
on Section §65996 of the California Government Code, the payment of such fees is deemed
to fully mitigate the impacts of new development on school services. Therefore, with payment
of these required developer fees, Project impacts to school services would be less than
significant.
23
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Hotel and Villas
The demand for new or expanded school facilities and services is determined by permanent
increases to the local population. The Project would result in development of 88 villas and a
hotel(s) facility. The nature of the villas has not been determined, and they could be either
hotel -related resort units occupied by tourists, or permanent housing units. At buildout, the
villas could introduce approximately 191 new residents to the Project site.2
Based on DSUSD student generation rates, the Project has the potential to generate
approximately 31 kindergarten through twelfth grade students, if the villas are occupied by
permanent residents. This is a conservative estimate based on the Project's 88 new villas
being occupied by families with children residing on the project site on a fulltime, year-round
basis. In actuality, these units are likely to be occupied on a temporary basis by individuals
and families during vacations. Nonetheless, the potential student increase represents less
than 1 % of DSUSD's current student body.
The hotel(s) and villas will, like the surf center, be required to pay the State mandated school
mitigation fee. Based on Section §65996 of the California Government Code, the payment of
such fees is deemed to fully mitigate the impacts of new development on school services.
Therefore, with payment of these required developer fees, Project impacts to school services
would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required.
Off -site Improvements
None of the off -site improvements would generate permanent population and, therefore, will
have no impact on schools. These components of the Project will not increase the student Me
population and there will be no impact.

Parks
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
The proposed surf lagoon is expected to be the primary attraction for Project patrons and
guests. Some visitors may attend events and undertake activities at local parks however,
such visits are expected to be minimal and are not expected to require new or expanded park
facilities that could result in adverse environmental impacts. Project -related impacts to parks
will be less than significant.
Hotel and Villas
The Project proposes resort hotel and residential uses, outdoor use areas, and multiple
options for recreational amenities, including lounges, swimming pools, a spa/wellness center,
and a surf lagoon. In addition, the Project will be located within the Desert Willow golf course,
providing additional recreational opportunities. The Project's proposed recreational
amenities, in conjunction with the City's current parks and recreational facilities and the
collection of Developer Impact Fees (DIFs) that support the City's park and recreation fund
(as required by City's Municipal Code 25.40.1303), would be adequate to accommodate the
Project's demand for parks and recreational services.

24
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The Project could increase the usage of local parks and recreational facilities. However, the
Project's other component, the surf lagoon, is expected to be the main recreational attraction;
use of local parks and recreational facilities is expected to be secondary and minimal.
Therefore, Project impacts to parks would be less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
None of the off -site improvements would_generate demand for park services and, therefore,
no impact is anticipated.
Other Public Facilities
The Project's recreational facilities, particularly the surf lagoon, are expected to be the primary
attraction for Project patrons and guests. Some visitors may attend the local library,
museums, or other attractions, and some may require medical services at local hospitals.
However, such visits are expected to be minimal and are not expected to require new or
expanded facilities that could result in adverse environmental impacts. Project -related
impacts to other public facilities will be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are
required.
L. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
1. Vehicle Miles Traveled
Threshold:
b) Would the Project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3,
subdivision (b)?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.15-24 through -28)
Explanation:
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, as amended December 2018, states that vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) is the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts. A lead agency
may use models or other methods to analyze a project's VMT quantitatively or qualitatively.
For land use projects, such as the proposed DSRT SURF Project, "projects within one-half
mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing high -quality transit
corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects
that decrease vehicle miles traveled in the project area compared to existing conditions
should be considered to have a less than significant transportation impact."
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
Construction: The CalEEMod software used to calculate air emissions considers
construction -related vehicle emissions from vendor deliveries, use of construction equipment,
regulations of the City's local park dedication or payment of fees in lieu thereof requirement, as
provided by the Subdivision Ordinance. (Ord. 1259 § 1, 2013).

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
and worker commutes. Based on Project -specific construction details, it is estimated that total
worker trips would result in 6,578 VMT, vendor trips would result in 967 VMT, and hauling PM
trips would result in 32,188 VMT. CalEEMod does not generate VMT for construction
equipment, however air quality impacts associated with construction equipment are captured %wo
and analyzed in Section 2.3, Air Quality, of the EIR. Potential impacts associated with haul
trucks are further discussed below (see Off -Site Improvements, Soil Removal/Storage).
Operations: The TIA estimated the proposed Project's trip generation using trip generation
rates provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (loth
edition, 2017) for the hotel, villas, and retail portions of the Project. The ITE Manual does not
include trip generation rates for a surf lagoon, so trip generation for the lagoon was based on
assumptions about the anticipated number of guests and vehicle occupancy. Two trip
generation estimates were prepared — one for typical operation, and one for special events.
The Project would generate a combined total of 5,496 weekday daily trips under typical
operation, and 7,288 weekend daily trips during special events.
During typical operation, it is anticipated that many surf lagoon guests will be those staying
at the Project's hotel/villa component and other resort projects within Desert Willow; local
residents and visitors already in the area for other attractions may also attend. The Project is
centrally located in the Coachella Valley; vehicles traveling from the furthest points of the
valley from the Project site would travel approximately 15 miles to the Project, while those in
the denser population centers would travel 10 miles or less. During special events, spectators
could travel from areas outside the Coachella Valley; western Riverside County and Los
Angeles, for example, are 60 miles and 100 miles from the Project site, respectively. For ...,,
analysis purposes, it was assumed that the average distance traveled per trip was 25 miles,
resulting in an annual VMT of 12,213,217 under typical operation and 16,511,125 when
accounting for special events.
Additionally, the Project site is 1/2-mile west of Sunline Transit Agency's Bus Lines 20 and 21
which travel along Cook Street (see TIA Exhibit 3-8 in Appendix H of the EIR). Line 21
connects northern Palm Desert (Cook Street and Gerald Ford Drive) with the Highway 111
commercial corridor in Palm Desert (Town Center Way). Line 20 follows the same route but
extends further to Desert Hot Springs via 1-10. The two closest bus stops are at Cook
Street/Country Club Drive and Cook Street/Frank Sinatra Drive. Lines 20 and 21 connect to
other Sunline routes serving the Coachella Valley.
The Project's central location and proximity to arterials, 1-10, and established transit routes
are expected to reduce the amount of driving required to access the Project. Impacts will be
less than significant.
Off -Site Improvements
Installation of off -site stormwater infrastructure, pool/lagoon discharge, turf reduction and
landscaping improvements will involve the operation of construction vehicles, but they will be
largely contained onsite and will not travel on area roadways. After construction is complete,
off -site improvements will not generate any vehicle trips.
Construction vehicles involved in the off -site parking lot will be contained onsite and generally
will not travel on area roadways. Once operational, the overflow parking lot will not generate
26
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
trips or impact VMT, because it will be used to accommodate vehicles already accessing the
site during special events.
Soil Removal/Storage: During construction, an estimated 12,875 haul trips (equivalence)4 will
transport excess soils to either: 1) vacant land on the Desert Willow Golf Course, less than
mile from the Project site, or 2) along Cook Street to the Classic Club 2%2 miles to the north.
For conservative analysis, it was assumed that all excess soil will be hauled to the Classic
Club, resulting in approximately 32,188 VMT. Once construction is complete, this Project
component would generate no VMT. Impacts would be less than significant.
2. Design Hazards
Threshold:
c) Would the Project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.15-28 and -29)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
Primary access to the surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas will be provided at two access
points on Desert Willow Drive, and emergency access will be provided via a gated access
point on Willow Ridge. An internal road will be used to access onsite facilities and parking.
No roads, intersections, or design features are proposed that would increase hazards.
Construction vehicles using Desert Willow Drive and/or Willow Ridge to access the site could
inconvenience passenger vehicles on those roads; however, their presence would be only
temporary (limited to the construction phase), would be managed through the City's
requirements for construction management planning, and would not increase hazards. During
long-term operation, vehicles accessing the site will be similar to those accessing the adjacent
golf course. No impact would occur.
Off -Site Improvements
Installation of off -site stormwater infrastructure, pool/lagoon discharge, turf reduction and
landscaping improvements will involve the operation of construction vehicles which will be
largely contained onsite and will not increase traffic hazards. Once operational, these
components will have no impact on traffic -related hazards.
CalEEMod generates the number of "haul trips" and associated hauling emissions based on the
quantity/weight of material being hauled and the distance to the haul site. The number of haul trips
generated in CalEEMod provides an equivalent emissions projection based on haul load assumptions
programmed into the software. Based on project haul data, CaIEEMod assumes that the project will
require 12,875 material haul trips. It is assumed that an average haul load is 20 tons (or 16 cubic
yards).
27
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Improvement of the overflow parking lot will not increase hazards due to dangerous features
or incompatible uses. During standard operations, the lot will remain vacant. During special am"
events, the vehicle mix will be compatible with other vehicles on area roadways. No impact
will occur. 6-0
During construction, excavated soils will be removed and hauled to either a vacant site within
Desert Willow Golf Course or a material storage site adjacent to the Classic Club 2.5 miles to
the north. The presence of construction vehicles on area roadways may be a temporary
nuisance but will not increase hazards. Haul trips will cease once construction is complete,
and no impact will occur during Project operation.
M. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
1. Water, Wastewater, Storm Drainage, Electric, Natural Gas and Telecom
Thresholds:
a) Would the Project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or
expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power,
natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which
could cause significant environmental effects?
b) Would the Project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and
reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? am
c) Would the Project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider us
which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the
project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
Finding: Less than significant (EIR, p. 2.16-8 through -14)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
Domestic Water Infrastructure
The Project will require extension of water lines within the site to connect to the existing
CVWD water lines under Willow Ridge Road and the traffic circle. In addition, the Project may
construct a new onsite well to supply the lagoon water demands, which will be metered in
compliance with requirements of the RWRCB. This would not significantly affect CVWD water
facilities, and once connected to the CVWD water lines, CVWD will have sufficient water to
accommodate the proposed Project. Extension of water lines will have less than significant
impacts on expanded water services because the physical expansion will occur within already
disturbed areas of the golf course and its roadways, and because the proposed Project's
mandate to implement a Turf Reduction Program will substantially reduce net water demand
of the Project.
Domestic Water Supply
w.
28
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
As discussed in Section 2.10 of the ElR, Hydrology and Water Quality, and per the Project -
specific Water Supply Assessment (WSA), the Project's net domestic water demand of 58.46
AFY represents approximately 0.05 percent of the total water supply (114,600 AFY) for 2020
and 0.03 percent of the total water supply (194,300 AFY) for 2040 estimated by the CVWD
in its Urban Water Management Plan.
Based on the WSA findings, CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the demands of the
Project for the next 20 years. The future water supplies available to CVWD, including the
Project site, are assured and reliable under normal, single -dry years, and multiple -dry years
by Colorado River water rights, the permanent surface water entitlement held by the CVWD,
and based on historical conditions of the groundwater aquifer. The City can reliably expect
water from surface and groundwater sources.
Given the existing available water supply versus the water needs of the Project, CVWD has
sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project in future during normal, dryand multiple
dry years. The Project's incremental effect would not be cumulatively considerable with
respect to water supply and, therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Wastewater Services and Infrastructure
Upon implementation of the Project, wastewater would be collected and discharged into
CVWD sewer mains at all components of the Project. Wastewater will periodically be
generated by the surf lagoon and pools, which will be treated on -site and either directed to
on -site dry wells or discharged into one of the Desert Willow golf course lakes for course
irrigation.
The proposed Project will require construction of on -site sewer infrastructure to connect to
the existing sewer mains located in the Desert Willow Drive and Willow Ridge Road rights -of -
way. Sewage will be conveyed south along Cook Street to the CVWD treatment plant (WRP-
10) near the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel two miles to the south. The Project
wastewater discharges will be typical of residential and commercial uses and would not
exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the CVWD or Regional Water Quality Control
Board.
CVWD is currently treating and recycling City -generated wastewater at two wastewater
treatment plants (WRP-9 and WRP-10). These two plants have a total capacity of 18.40 mgd.5
WRP-10 has a current capacity of 18 mgd, and is currently treating about 13.4 mgd. It is
estimated that the Project would generate a total of 161,500 gallons of wastewater per days,
which will constitute an increase of 1 percent of the treatment flows currently entering the
CVWD's WRP-10 daily.
According to the CVWD, the existing sewer lines under Willow Ridge Road and the traffic
circle at the clubhouse entrance have the capacity to handle the additional sewage generated
by the Project, based on the number of lateral tie-ins presently contributing to the sewer flow.
CVWD has sufficient treatment capacity to treat wastewater generated by the proposed
Project, and the Project is not anticipated to result in the construction or relocation of a
Coachella Valley Water Management Plan Update 2012 (Final Report) -Page 4-23, CVWD.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
wastewater treatment plant. The proposed Project's impact on wastewater treatment systems
would be less than significant. "'
Stormwater Drainage •�'
The Project would introduce impervious surfaces in the project area through the construction
of buildings, pedestrian pathways, parking lots, and internal roadways. To fully capture the
surface runoff at Project buildout, the Project site is divided into four drainage areas from
which onsite runoff will be conveyed into three existing Desert Willow Golf Course drainage
waste areas. These drainage waste areas do not have drain pipes to the Project site currently.
Drain pipes will need to be constructed and extended from the Project site in these areas as
part of the proposed Project. The drainage pipe extensions are considered off -site
improvements, and their impacts discussed separately below.
The design of the stormwater drainage system for the Project is consistent with, and
integrates into, the master plan for drainage established with the development of the Desert
Willow project as a whole. The preliminary hydrology study demonstrates that the existing
waste areas have capacity to accommodate Project 100-year flows. Therefore, the proposed
Project will not result in a need to construct additional drainage facilities beyond those
envisioned for the Desert Willow project, and impacts will be less than significant.
Electric Power
Operation of the proposed Project would consume approximately 21,711,725 kWh per year
of electricity in total'. This represents a 2.87 percent increase in annual City-wide electricity
usage (City-wide usage is approximately 756,834,386 kWh per year, according to the Palm
Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013 Update). To reduce electricity demand, the Project
proposes the installation of solar panels on -site at the Surf Center, which could generate an
estimated 1,700,000 kWh per year8. Operation of the solar panels will offset the Project's
electrical demand, thereby reducing it to approximately 20,011,725 kWh per year, which
represents approximately 2.64 percent of the City's total electricity demand. Impacts will be
less than significant.
The Project will connect to the existing nearest SCE underground distribution lines located
east of the site. Construction of the Project will comply with applicable SCE guidelines
regarding installation, extensions, and connections to limit impacts to electricity infrastructure
and avoid service interruptions. No new SCE electric power facilities will need to be
constructed or relocated. Impacts will be less than significant.
Natural Gas
Underground natural gas lines exist at the perimeter of the Desert Willow traffic circle. The
Project site will connect to the existing lines. Construction impacts associated with the
installation of natural gas connections are expected to be confined to trenching in order to
extend them from Desert Willow Drive to the Project site. Prior to ground disturbance, Project
contractors would notify and coordinate with SoCalGas to identify the locations and depths of
all existing gas lines and avoid disruption of gas service.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Operation of the proposed Project would consume approximately 331,811 therms per years
of natural gas in total, which is equivalent to a 1.89 percent increase in annual City-wide
natural gas usage (City-wide usage is approximately 17,532,930 therms per year, according
to the Palm Desert Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2013 Update). No additional natural gas
facilities will need to be constructed or relocated. Impacts will be less than significant.
Telecommunication
The City is located within Frontier Communications' service area for telecommunication
services. The project site will connect to the existing telecommunication lines located adjacent
to the site in Desert Willow Drive. Lines currently in place are sufficient to supply the Project,
and no new lines are expected to be required. No impact is anticipated.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: This component of the Project will extend storm drains from the
proposed Project site at several locations (please see Section 2.10 of the EIR for a
comprehensive discussion of the drainage system) to existing waste areas within the golf
course. The pipes will be installed within existing disturbed areas of the golf course, and
extend to existing disturbed waste areas. Although extension will be necessary, it will not
result in the need for expanded facilities, because the drainage system designed for the entire
Desert Willow project included serving the Project site, and other development sites within
the master planned project. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project will not
result in a need for expanded drainage facilities, and will not have a significant environmental
effect on the golf course waste areas. Impacts will be less than significant.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: This component of the Project will require the extension of
underground pipes to an existing lake within the golf course, to the south of the Project site.
The extension of these pipes will occur within existing disturbed areas of the golf course, and
will require only trenching and the installation of pipes. The water will be treated prior to its
discharge into the existing lake, and will be used for irrigation within the golf course. The pool
and lagoon discharge will not require the expansion of water, wastewater, storm drain,
electric, natural gas or telecommunication facilities, and will have less than significant impacts
on existing facilities.
Golf Course Turf Reduction and Landscaping Improvements: This component of the Project
would replace existing turf areas within the existing golf course with desert landscaping, which
would reduce irrigation water demand and have an overall net benefit to water supplies. This
component of the Project will not require any wastewater treatment, electric power, natural
gas, or telecommunications. No long-term impacts are expected.
Overflow Parking: This component of the Project will require up to 0.5 AFY in irrigation water
when developed, and will be required to retain the 100 year storm on -site by installing a self-
contained drainage system meeting City standards. No expansion of water, wastewater,
drainage, electrical, natural gas or telecommunication facilities will be required, and impacts
are expected to be less than significant.

Soil Removal/Storage: This component of the Project will require water during excavation to
suppress wind erosion, which will be temporary and will end once the excavation is
completed. Impacts will be less than significant. This component will not require any
wastewater treatment, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications. No long-term
impacts are expected.

Construction Impacts
All construction debris would be placed in appropriate onsite containers and periodically ftwo
disposed of in accordance with all applicable standards of waste disposal. Non -hazardous
construction materials that cannot be reused or recycled would be accepted for disposal at
Riverside County landfills. As required by CalGreen, demolition of the existing parking lot and
the waste created by construction activities will be required to be recycled, and demonstration
of compliance will be required by the City as a condition of the building permits for the Project.
This standard requirement will assure that impacts associated with construction waste remain
less than significant.
Any hazardous materials (e.g. chemicals, oils fuels, lubricants, paints, and solvents) used
during construction would be recycled, treated, and/or disposed of in accordance with federal,
State, and local laws. Construction -related solid waste generation will be short-term and local
and/or regional landfills would have sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
Project's construction -related solid waste disposal needs. Impacts will remain less than
significant.
Operational Impacts
Based on the Estimated Solid Waste Generation Rates established by CalRecycle, the
Project would dispose of approximately 355 tons of solid waste per year10 at buildout. The
Project would be required to achieve 50 percent waste diversion in accordance with Riverside

Cathedral City and then transported to Lamb Canyon landfill in Beaumont. The Project will
contribute 0.02% to Lamb Canyon's remaining capacity." Commingled recyclable materials
will be transported to Burrtec's material recovery facilities for recycling and reuse. Less than
significant impacts would occur from the Project.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management and Pool/Lagoon Discharge: These components of the Project
would not generate any solid waste; no impact is anticipated.
Landscaping Improvements and Golf Course Turf Reduction: The Turf Reduction program
and landscaping activities may result in plant waste, and in some solid waste associated with
plant containers, that Burrtec will sort and dispose of as green waste, or recycle. Green waste
will then be recycled as compost per Mandatory Organics Recycling requirements (AB 1826).
Impacts will be less than significant.
Overflow Parking: The proposed overflow parking site is currently vacant and will not result
in construction or demolition waste. At buildout, the parking lot will not generate solid waste;
no impact is expected.
Soil Removal/Storage: Other than excavated soil, this Project component is not anticipated
to generate any other solid waste; no impact is anticipated.

The City Council hereby finds that feasible Mitigation Measures have been identified 41-0
in the EIR and this Resolution that will avoid or substantially lessen the following potentially
significant environmental impacts to a less than significant level. The potentially significant
impacts, and the Mitigation Measures that will reduce them to a less than significant level,
are as follows:

eleven (11) galvanized steel poles that will be 40 to 80 feet in height. Of this total, one is
proposed at 40 feet, three at 60 feet, four at 70 feet, and three at 80 feet in height, %me
distributed on all sides of the lagoon, and on the central pier (see EIR Exhibit 2.2-20).
Section 24.16.015(F) of the Palm Desert Municipal Code states that the maximum pole
heights for sport courts shall be thirty (30) feet. The proposed Specific Plan allows for the
construction of light poles of up to 80 feet in height.
Section 24.16.015(E) of the Municipal Code requires that sports lighting fixtures use the
latest technology to control spill light from the lighting fixture. Each luminaire will be fitted
with a light/glare control visor that directs light downward onto the lagoon and reduces
glare and light spillage.12
Section 24.16.045(C) of the Municipal Code states that outdoor recreational sports
lighting shall be turned off at 10:00 pm with partial lighting remaining on until 10:30 pm to
allow participants to safely vacate the field/venue. The Specific Plan proposes surf lagoon
lighting consistent with operational hours that allow surfers in the water until 12:00 am on
holidays, weekends and during special events, and 10 pm on weekdays.
2. Other proposed lighting fixtures include lights mounted in the concrete pony wall along
the entire boardwalk (18 inches above the boardwalk deck), and fixtures mounted on
12 Exhibits SP6.1 and SP6.2, Light Fixture Cutsheets, DSRT Surf Precise Plan Package, March 25,
2019.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
handrail vertical posts along the entire pier (20 inches above the pier deck), as well as
landscaping lighting throughout the Planning Area.13
3. The Project would involve the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, which would
convert sunlight directly into electricity.
4. Vehicles accessing and parking onsite will generate new sources of light and glare.
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
Light fixtures will illuminate the Promenade roadway, parking lots, surf lagoon boardwalk and
pier, and common areas around the surf center, including ancillary buildings, swimming pools,
and the event lawn. Lighting of these features is intentional for after -dark activities, safety,
and security. The lighting plans for these fixtures incorporates standards of the Municipal
Code, will be typical of the lighting provided at other developments within the area, and will
not significantly impact the lighting environment of the Desert Willow Golf Resort.
Specialized and stronger lighting is proposed for the surf lagoon. As shown in Exhibit 2.2-20
of the EIR, pole lights ranging from 40 to 80 feet in height are proposed at this location. They
will occur on all sides of the lagoon, and along the central pier to illuminate the water and
allow night surfing. Exhibit 2.2-20 of the EIR also shows the levels of light occurring on the
lagoon to its edge, while Exhibit 2.2-21 of the EIR depicts the levels of light generated by the
light poles in the areas surrounding the lagoon. As shown in Exhibit 2.2-21, lighting levels at
the property line will be reduced to imperceptible levels to the north and south of the site,
conforming to City standards. Light pole luminaires will emit a total of 112,455 lumens, which
is less than the 130,000 lumens allowed for commercial light poles in Municipal Code Section
24.16-015, Outdoor Lighting Requirements. The lighting impacts associated with the
proposed lagoon lighting as it relates to light fixture outputs will therefore be less than
significant.
Impacts associated with glare from the structures at the surf lagoon area are expected to be
less than significant. However, the lighting generated by the light poles proposed for the
lagoon also have the potential to generate glare resulting from lights reflected from the water.
The City does not have specific numeric standards for glare. However, based on the findings
of Exhibit 2.2-17 of the EIR, the lagoon lighting as proposed (40-80-foot-tall poles) will result
in minimal glare off -site, and impacts will be less than significant.
Hotel and Villas
No development application(s) for Specific Plan Planning Area 2 have been filed at this time
and, therefore, architectural elevations for the hotel and villas are not available. However, as
required by the Specific Plan, building styles and materials will complement those used for
the surf center. As shown in Exhibits 2.2-17 through 2.2-19 in the EIR, lighting levels at the
site boundary will be imperceptible, and will meet City standards.
Lighting from the light poles at the surf lagoon will spill onto the Villas along the southwest
edge of the surf lagoon, and to the hotel and villas to the west of the lagoon. It will not spill
onto Desert Willow Drive, the clubhouse parking lot, or the Westin Desert Willow resort to the
immediate southwest. As shown in EIR Exhibit 2.2-21, the highest lighting level along the
13 Exhibit LT1.0, Site Lighting Plan, DSRT Surf Precise Plan Package, March 25, 2019.
35
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
south edge of the lagoon, where the villas are located, will range from 2.1 to 4.7 footcandles.
The City's standard for illumination in lighting plans is 1 to 3 footcandles (Municipal Code
Section 24.16.035). Lighting levels at the rear patios and balconies of the Lagoon Villas will
be higher in some locations. The architectural plans for these villas are not part of this
application, but the concepts provided in the Specific Plan are illustrated in EIR Exhibit 2.2-4.
They show deep covered balconies and patios that will shield the interior of these villas from
the light levels occurring at these locations. However, since these architectural plans are not
definitive, the impacts from the surf lagoon light poles to interior spaces of the villas along the
south edge of the lagoon could be significant, and should be mitigated. As provided in
Mitigation Measure AES-1, the architectural plans for the villas at this location will be required
to demonstrate that interior light levels in those villas will not exceed 1 footcandle, the lower
allowable standard under the City's standards. This mitigation measure will assure that
impacts associated with lighting at the south Lagoon Villas will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures AES-1: In order to assure that lighting levels at the Lagoon Villas do
not exceed City standards, architectural plans for these villas will be accompanied by a
lighting plan that demonstrates that the interior lighting level at the windows located facing
the lagoon does not exceed 1.0 footcandle.
Lighting plans will be prepared according to the City's lighting design standards as part of
Mitigation Measure AES-1. AES-1 will assure that the lighting levels at the lagoon villas are
acceptable. This mitigation measure will reduce impacts to less than significant levels for the
Proposed Project.

Off -site Improvements
The majority of off -site improvements will be buried, and will generate no light or glare. The .r
overflow parking lot is already impacted by occasional vehicle use. It will be improved to City
standards, including new pole -mounted lighting to enhance visibility and security. Lighting will
be required to comply with Chapter 24.16, Outdoor Lighting Requirements, of the Palm Desert
Municipal Code, and the City will review and approve the lighting plan prior to development.
With implementation of these standard requirements, impacts will be less than significant.
B. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
1. Habitat Modifications
Threshold:
a) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. (EIR, p. 2.4-19 through -21)
Explanation: The development of the Project will result in the disturbance of the entire site.
Impacts to biological resources, as discussed below, would be consistent across all "'
components of the Project, including the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, villas, and off -site
improvements. The following discussion, therefore, applies to all components of the proposed fto
36
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Project equally.
Tables 2.4.1 through 2.4.3 of the EIR (p. 2.4-12 through -14) summarize information on all
special -status species that have been reported in the Project vicinity, or that have the potential
to occur onsite based on geographic distribution and presence of potentially suitable habitat.
Given the level of existing disturbance onsite from parking lot development, grading,
installation of irrigation systems, development of surrounding parcels, and daily disturbances
of human activity on the adjacent Desert Willow Golf Resort, there is a low potential for the
proposed Project to adversely impact sensitive biological species.
No sensitive plant species or wildlife species were observed or detected on the Project site
during the biological field survey, and any potential Project -related impacts would be
mitigated through payment of standard CVMSHCP developer impact fees (Mitigation
Measure BI0-1).
Mitigation Measure B10-1
Payment of CVMSHCP Fees
The Project proponent shall be required to pay the CVMSHCP local development mitigation
fee to mitigate for impacts to covered species and natural communities within the Project site.
Although burrowing owl is a covered species under the CVMSHCP, neither the federal 404
permit nor the state NCCP for the CVMSHCP provides for take of this species, which is further
protected by the MBTA. The species nests and roosts underground and is particularly
vulnerable to ground -disturbing activities. The biologist determined that suitable burrowing
owl habitat is present on the vacant portion of the Project site, however the species was not
detected during site surveys.
Project -related impacts to the species will be mitigated through implementation of Mitigation
Measure 1310-3 which requires pre -construction surveys to identify any burrowing owls
present onsite, and consultation with CDFW regarding the use of exclusion devices, if
appropriate, to minimize impacts to the species.
Special -status bird species which may nest in the Project area are protected from take by the
MBTA. Nesting bird surveys in compliance with the MBTA will mitigate any potential Project -
related impacts to these species (Mitigation Measure 1310-2). The surveys would determine
whether nesting birds are present onsite immediately prior to site disturbance and, if present,
prohibit project -related work within avoidance buffers until the young have fledged.
Mitigation Measure B10-2
MBTA Compliance
For any grading or other site disturbance or tree or vegetation removal occurring during the
nesting season between February 1st and August 31st, a qualified biologist shall conduct at
least one nesting bird survey, and more if deemed necessary by the consulting biologist,
immediately prior to initiation of project -related ground disturbing activities. If nesting birds
are present, no work shall be permitted near the nest until the young birds have fledged.
While there is no established protocol for nest avoidance, when consulted, the CDFW
generally recommends avoidance buffers of about 500 feet for birds -of -prey, and 100 — 300
feet for songbirds.
37
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Mitigation Measure B/O-3
Burrowing Owl Surveys
A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre -construction burrowing owl
surveys onsite. The first shall occur between 14 and 30 days prior to ground disturbance, and
the second shall occur within 24 hours of ground disturbance. If burrowing owls are detected,
the project proponent shall consult with CDFW to determine what course of action is needed,
such as the use of exclusion devices (if applicable) to discourage owls from using burrows
that are believed to be in jeopardy of being impacted by implementation of the project.
With implementation of Mitigation Measures 1310-1 through 1310-3, potential Project -related
impacts to sensitive species would be less than significant.
C. CULTURAL AND TRIBAL RESOURCES
1. Archaeological Resources
Threshold:
b) Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.5-13 through -15)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas,
No archaeological resources were observed during the site -specific cultural resources field
survey, and none were found or recorded during previous surveys. The Project area is within
the traditional use area of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and the potential exists
for archaeological resources to be uncovered during ground -disturbing activities. Although
the site has been previously graded, features or artifacts of prehistoric origin may be
uncovered during Project development, particularly since excavation for parking structures
and pool and lagoon backwash drainage structure construction will be at greater depths than
previously occurred. To reduce the potential impacts, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires
educating construction personnel about possible archaeological artifacts, human remains,
and other cultural materials that could be uncovered during construction activities, pursuant
to § 15064.5. If any of those materials are unearthed during construction, Mitigation Measure
CUL-2 would require further actions to secure those materials and assure their proper
disposition.
Off -Site Improvements
Stormwater Management: Installation of subsurface stormwater management infrastructure
will involve excavation and other soil disturbances that could uncover archaeological
resources. Impacts will be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measures
CUL-1 and CUL-2.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Installation of pool/lagoon discharge infrastructure will result in soil
disturbances that could uncover archaeological resources. Impacts will be less than
significant with implementation of CUL-1 and CUL-2.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal and replacement of existing turf with native landscaping
will result in soil disturbances. These areas have been previously disturbed for existing
landscaping, and since the replacement with drought -tolerant landscaping will occur in areas
and at depths that have previously been significantly disturbed, no impact is expected.
Overflow Parkinq: The Project will result in improvement of an existing parking lot southeast
of the subject property. The parking lot has already been disturbed from grading and vehicle
use, and it is unlikely to harbor subsurface archaeological resources. Nonetheless, there is
limited potential for such resources to be unearthed during ground -disturbing activities.
Impacts will be less than significant with implementation of CUL-1 and CUL-2.
Soil Removal/Storage: Project development will result in excavation, removal and placement,
and storage of soils. The placement of soils off -site will not impact architectural resources,
and any resources would have been identified during site disturbance. This activity will not
result in any impact to prehistoric resources.
Mitigation Measure CUL-1
Worker Education Program: Prior to commencing any phase of Project ground disturbance,
all personnel working onsite shall be required to complete a worker education program
performed by a qualified archaeologist that describes potential archaeological artifacts,
human remains, and other cultural materials that could be unearthed during the Project
development process, and the procedures required in the event such a discovery is made.
Mitigation Measure CUL-2
Monitoring: If buried cultural materials are encountered inadvertently during any earth -moving
operations associated with the Project, all work within 50 feet of the discovery should be
halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of
the finds. The archaeologist shall prepare a findings report summarizing the methods and
results of the investigation, including an itemized inventory and detailed analysis of recovered
artifacts upon completion of field and laboratory work. The report shall include an
interpretation of the cultural activities represented by the artifacts and discussion of their
significance. The submittal of the report to the City and Tribal representative, as appropriate,
along with final disposition of the recovered artifacts in a manner consistent with
determination of the lead agency, Project archaeologist, and consulting tribes, will signify the
completion of the monitoring program and, barring unexpected findings of significance, the
mitigation of potential project impacts on cultural and tribal resources.
Overall, impacts to archaeological resources pursuant to Section 15064.5 will be mitigated to
less than significant levels through implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-
2.
2. Human Remains
Threshold:
c) Would the Project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of
formal cemeteries?
39
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.5-14 and -15) '"'
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas,
The subject site does not contain a formal cemetery; however, it is within the traditional use
area of Native American tribes, and the potential exists for human remains to be unearthed
during ground -disturbing activities, such as grading and excavation.
California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that all excavation stop, and that
the County coroner inspect the site. Should the remains be identified as Native American by
the coroner, the NAHC is required to contact the most likely descendant, and that descendant
may recommend appropriate burial. This requirement, reflected in Mitigation measure CUL-
3, will assure that impacts associated with human remains are less than significant.
Off -Site Improvements
Stormwater Management: Installation of subsurface stormwater management infrastructure
is unlikely to unearth human remains, because the golf course area in which these facilities
will occur has been previously graded. However, this activity will be subject to the same
requirements of law contained in Mitigation Measure CUL-3.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Installation of subsurface pool and lagoon discharge pipes is unlikely
to unearth human remains, because the golf course area in which these facilities will occur som
has been previously graded. However, this activity will be subject to the same requirements
of law contained in Mitigation Measure CUL-3. two
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal of golf course turf and replacement with desert
landscaping is expected to affect only shallow depth soils. However, this activity will be
subject to the same requirements of law contained in Mitigation Measure CUL-3.
Overflow Parking: The proposed overflow parking lot has already been disturbed by grading
and vehicle use. Nonetheless, the potential exists for human remains to be uncovered during
proposed improvements. This activity will be subject to the same requirements of law
contained in Mitigation Measure CUL-3.
Soil Removal/Storage: The removal and storage of soils has no potential to unearth human
remains, insofar as the soils will have been inspected as part of the construction activities
described above. Soil removal and storage will not impact human remains.
Mitigation Measure CUL-3
Human Remains: Should buried human remains be discovered during grading or other
construction activities, in accordance with State law, the County coroner shall be contacted.
If the remains are determined to be of Native American heritage, the Native American
Heritage Commission and the appropriate local Native American Tribe shall be contacted to
determine the Most Likely Descendant (MLD).

cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site,
feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size
and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California
Native American Tribe, and that is:
ii) a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by
substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision
(c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in
subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1 h, the lead agency shall
consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.5-16 through -18)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas
No tribal cultural resources are known to exist on the Project site. However, the site is within
the Traditional Use Area of the ACBCI. Therefore, the potential exists for archaeological
resources to be uncovered during ground -disturbing activities, including the deep excavation
required for the parking structure and pool and lagoon backwash drainage structures. As
described in Section 2.5.6.b. of the EIR, the inclusion of construction staff training, and the
requirement for monitoring should resources be identified contained in Mitigation Measures
CUL-1 and CUL-2, will reduce these potential impacts to less than significant levels.
Off -Site Improvements
Stormwater Management: Installation of subsurface stormwater management infrastructure
will involve excavation and other soil disturbances that could uncover tribal resources.
Impacts will be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and
CUL-2.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Installation of subsurface pool and lagoon discharge pipes will
involve excavation and other soil disturbances that could uncover tribal resources. Impacts

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
To address seismic hazards, the City has codified the 2016 CBC in Municipal Code Section
15.24.010, which requires that project structures be designed with adequate strength to
withstand the lateral dynamic displacements induced by the Design Basis Ground Motion,
which the CBC defines as the earthquake ground motion that has a 10-percent chance of
being exceeded in 50 years. The project will be required to comply with the CBC and all
California seismic design requirements, which would ensure that it would not expose persons
or property to significant injury or damage from strong seismic ground shaking hazards.
The site -specific Geotechnical Investigation Report includes several recommendations,
included as mitigation measures in the EIR. Implementation of mitigation measures GEO-6
and GEO-7 will ensure adequate uniform structural support for enclosed walls during strong
seismic groundshaking events. GEO-10 requires appropriate Asphalt Concrete Pavement
design and construction measures to minimize potential damage to proposed structures if
strong seismic ground shaking is encountered. GEO-13 requires compaction of up to 90
percent to minimize cracking of concrete flatworks.
Construction sites are at higher risk than fully developed structures during strong seismic
shaking because the standard measures that would protect a building and its occupants from
an earthquake are not yet in place. This means the damage could be more extensive to a
building under construction than for the same building after the construction is complete. To
minimize the loss of life during excavation, mitigation measure GEO-19 requires all
employees at the construction site to be trained in earthquake preparedness and identify safe
places near the construction site to make emergency evacuation possible. With
implementation of this mitigation measure, impacts associated with strong groundshaking will
be less than significant.
Adherence to the CBC, California seismic design requirements, the City's Municipal Code,
and the mitigation measures set forth herein would ensure potential impacts related to seismic
groundshaking at the surf lagoon, surf center, hotels, and villas would be less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: Active faults in the region have the potential to cause strong
groundshaking in the proposed Project area, and could result in shifting, breakage, or other
damage to proposed off -site storm drainage improvements and leakage of water. Mitigation
measure GEO-12 will require appropriate compaction of all utility trench backfill to minimize
damage caused by strong seismic shaking. With implementation of GEO-12, impacts would
be less than significant.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Water from the swimming pools and lagoon will be flushed to golf
course lakes via underground pipes which could be damaged during strong ground shaking.
New underground pipelines will be designed and installed accordingly to the California
Building Code to withstand ground shaking, and flushing of water from swimming pools and
the surf lagoon to the existing golf course lake will not create any new ground shaking hazards
to these lakes. As with the stormwater management system, mitigation measure GEO-12
requires the compaction of trench backfill, to minimize hazards to the pipes carrying the
discharge. Impacts would be less than significant with implementation of this mitigation
measure.

Landscaping Improvements: Hardscape surfaces in landscaped areas could crack or buckle
during a seimic event; however, such damage would not pose a substantial risk or hazard to
people or property, and would be reduced to less than significant levels with the
implementation of mitigation measures GEO-10 and GEO-13, which address impacts to
hardscapes, asphalt and concrete.
Overflow Parking: The off -site parking area is already graded, and no new permanent
structures are proposed at the site. Seismic groundshaking could cause pavement to crack
or buckle; however, potential damage and hazards to people and property would be less than
significant with the implementation of mitigation measure GEO-10, which specifically
addresses impacts to asphalt and concrete.
Soil Removal/Storage: The project may require excavations of up to 20 feet of soil for placing
foundations and constructing the parking structures. Soils removed from the site will be
hauled either to other vacant areas of Desert Willow, or to an off -site location. Groundshaking
would not impact soil stockpiles.

2. Seismic -Related Ground Failure
Threshold:
a) Would the Project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
iii) Strong seismic ground failure, including liquefaction?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.7-13 and -14)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
The site is located on relatively flat ground but could be subject to slope instability, collapse,
or slumping during an earthquake, particularly in the subsurface parking garage, buildings,
pool and Lagoon backwash drainage structures, and the surf lagoon. In order to minimize the
potential for collapse, instability or slumping, mitigation measures GEO-1 through GEO-5 will
assure that soil is clean, adequately compacted, and that excavated slopes remain stable
during a seismic event. With implementation of these mitigation measures, impacts will be
reduced to less than significant levels.
Based on the Geotechnical Investigation Report14, the potential for liquefaction at the project
site is low due to depth to groundwater, which is greater than 200 feet below the surface.
Therefore, potential impacts related to liquefaction would be less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: Ground failure is usually caused by surface rupture along faults,
unstable soils, or liquefaction. The Project's connections to existing off -site storm drainage
systems will not result in a ground failure risk at the site because pipes will be located in
narrow trenches properly backfilled, and impacts would be less than significant.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Flushing of water from swimming pools and surf lagoon to the
existing golf course lakes will be via underground pipelines located in narrow trenches
properly compacted as described above. The discharge system will not be significantly
impacted by ground failure.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal and replacement of existing turf areas with desert
landscaping will not create any ground failure hazards in the Desert Willow Golf Course
because no structural alterations will be required, and the replacement of turf with desert
landscaping will not expose these areas to ground failure. No impact is anticipated.
Landscaping Improvements: Landscaping improvements at the edges of the project to
connect to the existing golf course landscaping will not involve structures, and will not cause
any ground failure hazards in the Desert Willow Golf Course. No impact is anticipated.
Overflow Parking: The off -site parking area is already graded, and will be improved with
pavement, curbs and gutters. The installation of these facilities, with implementation of the
mitigation measures described above, will not result in ground failure or liquefaction.
Soil Removal/Storage: The proposed Project would involve some excavation. The
excavations are limited to 20 feet for the lagoon and subsurface parking garages. Localized
excavations, vehicle access and grading could potentially destabilize the soils and trigger a
localized landslide within excavated areas. Adverse effects to people or structures could be
significant if a shallow ground failure were to occur. Mitigation measure GEO-1, GEO-2, and
GEO-5 require the contractor to incorporate appropriate engineering design and construction
measures to address soil prone to ground failure. The potential for construction activities to
expose and adversely impact people and structures due to ground failure would be less than
significant with implementation of these mitigation measures.

Site Clearing: Prior to commencement of remedial grading within the site, all existing
vegetation, associated root systems, and debris shall be cleared. Areas planned to receive %do
fill shall be cleared of old fill and any irreducible matter.

3. Soil Erosion
Threshold:
b) Would the Project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Finding: Less than significant after mitigation (EIR, p. 2.7.15-2.7.17)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
The Project site is highly susceptible to wind erosion.15 Grading and construction will require
removal of the topsoil; however, grading and construction activities would occur in
accordance with erosion control requirements, including dust control measures, imposed by
the City pursuant to grading permit regulations. Specifically, project construction would be
required to comply with the City's Municipal Code Section 27.28.09016, including submittal
and approval of grading permits to ensure that the project does not generate excessive soil
erosion. City Municipal Code Sections 24.12.01017 and 24.20.05018 require preparation of a
fugitive dust (PM,o) mitigation plan and compliance with National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) standards prior to and during construction.
A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)19 has been prepared for the proposed Project
which includes Best Management Practices (BMPs). These BMPs would be implemented
during grading and construction to reduce sedimentation and soil erosion, and in compliance
with City standards. Mitigation measures GEO-16 through GEO-18 specifically address and
mitigate the potential for soil erosion through watering or covering soils, and by prohibiting
construction activities during significant storms or wind events. In addition, project

Improvements and Overflow Parking: The construction of these improvements will result in
loss of topsoil during construction. The same fugitive dust (PM1o) mitigation plan requirements
applicable to other components of the project would be applied to these improvements, which
would prevent substantial soil erosion and fugitive dust generation. Once constructed, these
facilities will not be subject to erosion.
Soil Removal/Storage: The project would require excavation of an estimated 20 feet deep
area, and the removal of 151,000 cubic yards of soil which could cause erosion and generate
blowsand. However, construction will occur incrementally and in measured stages, which will
allow control of soil moisture and stability. Mitigation measures GEO-16, GEO-17, and GEO-
18 will ensure that the loss of soils from strong wind events will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measure GEO-16
All project grading plans shall include a soil erosion prevention/dust control plan. Blowing dust
and sand during excavation and grading operations shall be mitigated by adequate watering
of soils prior to and during excavation and grading, and limiting the area of dry, exposed and
disturbed materials and soils during these activities. To mitigate against the effects of wind
erosion after site development, a variety of measures shall be implemented, including ...
maintaining moist surface soils, planting stabilizing vegetation, establishing windbreaks with
non-invasive vegetation or perimeter block walls, and using chemical soil stabilizers. NdO
Mitigation Measure GEO-17
There shall be a cessation of grading activities during rainstorms or high wind events. The

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
The surf lagoon and surf center portion of the project site is currently partially developed and
does not contain unstable soils or geologic units. No fissure or other surficial evidence of
subsidence was observed at the project site. Based on the Geotechnical Investigation Report,
it is not susceptible to on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or
collapse; this is due to on -site conditions, distance from sloping terrain and foothills, and depth
to groundwater. The depth to groundwater is reported below 200 feet below ground surface
in this area.
Mitigation measure GEO-3 will require use of engineered fill free of unstable soil at the site to
reduce potential risks associated with lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse
for all components of the project. The implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce
impacts to less than significant levels.
Ground subsidence has been documented by the U.S. Geological Survey and CVWD in
portions of La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Indian Wells; the principal cause is believed to be
extraction of groundwater. The projected water consumption which could be drawn from the
on -site well, existing golf course well or from existing CVWD water supplies to accommodate
the lagoon is 73.04 AFY, which represents 0.00025% of total water in storage. No excessive
withdrawal of water is anticipated at the site, and so the potential for subsidence is considered
low. Consequently, impacts from subsidence, liquefaction or collapse would be less than
significant.
The project site is located at a distance of approximately 3.10 miles from the Santa Rosa
Mountains, therefore, it does not have any potential for landslide or lateral spreading. No
impact is anticipated.
Hotel and Villas
The hotel and villas portion of the Project is not susceptible to liquefaction, landslides, or
lateral spreading. Mitigation measure GEO-3 will require use of engineered fill free of unstable
soil at the site to reduce potential risks associated with lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse for all components of the project. The implementation of this mitigation
measure will reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
The proposed hotel and villas would require approximately 76.89 AFY of water, or 0.00025%
of total water in storage. This component of the proposed Project is anticipated to use
approximately 8.54 AFY of recycled water for landscaping. The remaining 68.35 AFY of water
will be provided via connection to existing CVWD domestic water infrastructure. No excessive
withdrawal of water is planned at the site. No new well will be installed to serve this portion of
the Project, and therefore, it will not contribute to subsidence.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: The existing golf course waste areas which accommodate existing
storm flows are not located on an unstable soil to cause lateral spreading, subsidence, or
liquefaction. Similarly, the project's connection to off -site storm drain improvements to
49
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
accommodate the Project's increase in stormwater runoff will not cause lateral spreading,
subsidence, or liquefaction. No impact is anticipated.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Flushing of water from swimming pools and surf lagoon to the
existing golf course lake located south of the Project site will not disturb any unstable soil to
cause lateral spreading, subsidence, or liquefaction. No impact is anticipated.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal and replacement of existing turf areas with desert
landscaping will not involve use of unstable soil to result in lateral spreading, subsidence, or
liquefaction. No impact is anticipated.
Landscaping Improvements: Landscaping at the project site will not involve use of unstable
soil to result in lateral spreading, subsidence, or liquefaction. No impact is anticipated.
Overflow Parking: The off -site parking area is already graded; it will be improved using
engineered fill compacted to City standards, through implementation of mitigation measure
GEO-3, which will assure that impacts are less than significant.
Soil Removal/Storage: Mitigation measure GEO-3 will require use of engineered fill free of
unstable soil at the site to reduce potential risks associated with lateral spreading,
subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. With mitigation, impacts will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measure GEO-3
Fill Placement and Compaction: Engineered fill shall be free of organic material, debris, and

Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
The Project site is not known to contain unique paleontological features; however,
construction activities have the potential to reveal Quaternary -age alluvium which has an

paleontological resources due to excavation activities, mitigation measure GEO-15 is
required. A qualified paleontologist will be required to evaluate any buried paleontological
materials discovered during earth -moving operations at the site to reduce Project impacts to
less than significant levels.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: No unique paleontological resource or geologic feature is
anticipated to be affected by connecting the site to the golf course's storm drainage system
because it will not require deep excavation or grading. No impact is anticipated.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Extension of the pipelines to the golf course lake would not require
deep excavation so no unique paleontological resource or geologic feature is anticipated to
be affected. No impact is anticipated.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: Removal and replacement of existing turf areas with desert
landscaping in the Desert Willow Golf Course will not affect any paleontological resource or
geologic feature as these activities will be surficial. No impact is anticipated.
Landscaping Improvements: Landscaping at the project site will not affect any paleontological
resource or geologic feature as these activities will be surficial improvements. No impact is
anticipated.
Overflow Parking: The off -site parking area is already graded. Improvements to the parking
area would not affect any paleontological resource or geologic feature as these activities will
be surficial. No impact is anticipated.
Soil Removal/Storage: The removal of soils has the potential to unearth paleontological
resources. However, implementation of mitigation measure GEO-15 will reduce potential
impacts to less than significant levels.
Mitigation Measure GEO-15
If buried paleontological materials are discovered inadvertently during any earth -moving
operations associated with the project, all work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be halted
or diverted until a qualified paleontologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the
finds.
E. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Threshold:
f) Would the Project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. (ElR, p. 2.9-11 through -13)
Explanation:

51
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The majority of construction activities would be confined to the Project site itself; however, OWN
limited infrastructure improvements may require some work in adjacent street rights -of -way
(Desert Willow Drive and Willow Ridge). These roadways could be used by people evacuating �r
the area during an emergency. Although construction activities may require temporary lane
closures, appropriate traffic management and control plans would be followed pursuant to
mitigation measures TRANSP-15 and -16. Therefore, the proposed Project would not
physically interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans. Impacts would be less
than significant.
Access to the Project will be taken from Desert Willow Drive, and through the perimeter
roadway within the proposed Project. Occasionally, special events would be conducted at the
lagoon site, increasing traffic on major roadways. This increase in traffic will not cause
significant deterioration in roadway operations (See EIR Section 2.15 Transportation). In
addition, to control the traffic on these roads, a Special Event Traffic Management Plan would
be prepared for each special event, as described in Mitigation Measures TRANSP-5 through
-14 (see Section 5.1., below). With implementation of these measures, special events
occurring within the Project will have less than significant impacts on emergency evacuation
plans.
Off -Site Improvements:
Stormwater Management, Pool/Lagoon Discharge, Golf Course Turf Reduction, Landscapinq
Improvements, and Overflow Parking: The areas where off -site improvements will occur are
not located within or along a designated emergency evacuation route. In addition, wr
construction vehicles trips and activities would not physically interfere with any emergency
response plan. No impact is anticipated.
Soil Removal/Storage: To minimize impacts on major roadways, all Project components,
including the staging of haul trucks, will be subject to plan review by the Public Works, Fire,
and Police Departments as required by mitigation measure TRANSP-15 (see Section 5.1,
below). Any trucks transporting soil off -site to the Classic Club will be temporary travel and
after construction is complete, soil removal/storage will cease, and this Project component
will have no impact on emergency access or plan.

2. Groundwater Supplies
Threshold:
b) Would the Project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable
groundwater management of the basin?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (2.10-18 through -25)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels, Villas and Off -site Improvements
The proposed Project will require water for domestic use and landscape irrigation. Based on
the Water Supply Assessment (WSA) prepared for the Project, the whole Project would
require approximately 165.21 AFY of water at buildout. This is approximately 0.14 percent of
CVWD's anticipated 2020 total urban water demand of 114,600 AF, and approximately 0.09
percent of CVWD's anticipated 2040 total urban water demand of 194,300 AF. The WSA
requires that the Project implement a Turf Reduction Plan on the Firecliff and Mountain View
Golf Courses, which will reduce current irrigation water consumption and offset the water
demand of the proposed Project for the lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas. It is anticipated
that the replacement of 1,035,325 square feet of turf with desert landscaping (drought tolerant
plants) will save approximately 106.75 AFY of water. On that basis, the net water demand
will be 58.46 AFY. This represents approximately 0.05 percent of the total projected water
supply of 114,600 AF for 2020, and would represent 0.03 percent of the total projected water
supply of 194,300 AF for 2040.
The Turf Reduction Program is anticipated to occur concurrent with the construction of the
Project, and implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-4 will assure that the Turf Reduction
Program is completed prior to the lagoon's operation.
As described in the Project's WSA, CVWD has sufficient water supplies to meet the demands
of the Project for the next 20 years. This result is based on the volume of water available in
the aquifer, CVWD's Colorado River contract supply, SWP Table A amounts, water rights,
and water supply contracts, and CVWD's commitment to eliminate overdraft and reduce per
capita water use in CVWD's service area. Based on these findings, the Project will not
substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge such that
there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table
level. With implementation of mitigation measure HYD-4, impacts will be less than significant.

3. Drainage Patterns: Erosion and Siltation
Threshold:
c) Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the
addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would.
i) result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.10-25 through -27)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas
Topographically, the Project site consists of flat terrain with a gradual slope toward the
south .22 Stormwater percolates into ground surface soils or sheet flows to the south. There
are no streams or rivers onsite.
Development of the proposed Project will result in demolition of the existing parking lot, onsite
grading, and removal of soils to accommodate construction of the lagoon and surf center,
construction of impermeable surfaces (buildings, pools, driveways, sidewalks, patios,
hardscapes, etc.), as well as new stormwater conveyance pipes that connect to existing
drainages within the Desert Willow Golf Course. The proposed Project will alter existing
drainage patterns onsite, but proposed stormwater management improvements are designed
to adequately manage Project drainage such that the Project will not result in substantial
erosion or siltation.23
Drainage waste areas are already available off -site for retaining the 100-year storm event.
The Desert Willow drainage plan was designed to accommodate all 100-year storm flows
throughout the development. The Project drainage plans integrate into the existing Desert
Willow drainage program, and tie into the existing facilities to the northwest and south of the
site. The proposed Project also includes a WQMP which provides for BMPs to control erosion
and sedimentation entering the proposed drainage pipes. These requirements, to be
implemented by mitigation measure HYD-1, will assure that impacts associated with erosion
and siltation are reduced to less than significant levels.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Stormwater Management and Pool/Lagoon Discharge: The development of the Project will
result in an increase in surface runoff, due to increases in the amount of impervious surfaces.
This lowers the infiltration rate through the Project site, resulting in the necessity for an on -
site drainage system connecting to the existing Desert Willow drainage facilities. Construction
of the connections to the existing system will consist of trenching in the existing golf course,
laying pipe, and covering and restoring landscaping. These activities will be undertaken to
City standards, including storm water BMPs included in both WOMP(s) and SWPPP(s) for
these parts of the Project. Because these off -site improvements will be subject to mitigation
measure HYD-1, and with City requirements for the protection of surface waters, impacts will
be reduced to less than significant levels.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: The existing turf areas are not causing any erosion or siltation.
Implementation of mitigation measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 will reduce the potential of erosion
and siltation during turf reduction activities. Impacts would be less than significant with the
implementation of these measures.
Landscaping Improvements: The landscaping of the edge of the proposed Project's transition
to the golf course could result in both wind and water erosion. Implementation of mitigation
measures HYD-1 and HYD-2 will reduce the potential of erosion and siltation during
landscaping activities. Impacts would be less than significant with the implementation of these
measures.
Overflow Parking: The existing off -site parking area is graded. Improvement of the lot will
increase the impermeable surfaces on the site. As discussed above, the off -site parking would
be required to retain storm waters on site, and to implement BMPs to contain eroded
materials, consistent with City standards. Mitigation measures HYD-1 and HYD- 2 will assure
that impacts associated with erosion and siltation are reduced to less than significant levels.
Soil Removal/Storage: Construction of the proposed Project would require excavation and
grading for new utility lines, access roads, trenching for the underground parking structures,
and excavation and grading for surface parking lots. Soil material would be exposed to
erosion or siltation. However, mitigation measures HYD-1 and HYD-2, and the City's
requirements for dust control plans will reduce potential of soil erosion during excavation and
transportation of excavated soil to less than significant levels.
Mitigation Measure HYD-1
BMPs, as described in the Project -specific WOMP, shall be implemented to ensure that water
quality impacts resulting from the Project meet the City's NPDES standards.
Mitigation Measure HYD-2
Exposed soil from excavated areas, stockpiles, and other areas where ground cover is
removed shall be stabilized by wetting or other approved means to avoid or minimize the
inadvertent transport by wind or water.

4. Drainage Patterns: Runoff and Flooding
Threshold:
c) Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the
addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
ii) substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would
result in flooding on- or off -site;
iii) create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff; or
iv) impede or redirect flood flows?
Findinq: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.10-28 through -30)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
During construction, the proposed Project would not alter a floodway in a manner that would
redirect or impede flow during construction. Construction impacts due to development of the
lagoon, surf center, hotel and villas would be minimized through compliance with the General
Construction Activity Stormwater Permit, including implementation of a SWPPP and the MS4
Permit. The permit requires preparation and implementation of a SWPPP that must include
erosion and sediment control BMPs that would meet or exceed measures required by the
determined risk level of the Construction General Permit. A construction site monitoring
program that identifies monitoring and sampling requirements during construction is a
required component of the SWPPP. Impacts will be less than significant.
Development of the lagoon, surf center, hotel and villas would alter existing on -site drainage
patterns and flowpaths with the addition of new impervious surfaces. The Project includes tie-
in to the existing storm drain system within the Desert Willow Golf Course for all planned
components.

The lagoon will be designed as a "self -treating area," which would not be generating any
surface runoff during regular operational activities. Water from the lagoon will be discharged
in to the artificial lake located south of the golf course via evacuation line. This water will be
treated prior to discharge. The surf center and associated parking structure are located in
sub -drainage areas 3 and 4, which are designed to carry stormwater into two existing
drainage waste areas located northwest and southeast of the site within the Desert Willow
Golf Course. The lake and existing drainage waste areas have enough capacity to
accommodate water from the lagoon and subareas 3 and 4 and would not exceed its capacity
to cause surface runoff and flooding.
The hotel and villas are located in sub -drainage areas 1 and 2 which are designed to carry ""
surface runoff or stormwater into two existing drainage waste areas located northwest and
me
58
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
south of the site within the Desert Willow Golf Course. These existing drainage waste areas
in the Desert Willow Golf Course have adequate capacity to accommodate projected flows
from the hotel and villas.
Overall, the Project would generate runoff due to increased amounts of impervious surfaces;
however, it is not anticipated to create or make a significant contribution to runoff which would
exceed the capacity of the existing storm drain system within the Desert Willow Golf Course
and add substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. With compliance with the MS4
Permit, and implementation of mitigation measures HYD-1 through HYD-3, the operational
impacts would be less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management: The off -site stormwater pipes that will connect to the existing golf
course facilities will be part of the overall drainage plan for the Project, and will therefore not
increase runoff, but instead manage it. Pollutant control will be effected through the
implementation of mitigation measures HYD-1 through HYD-3. With implementation of these
mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less than significant levels.
Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Water flushed from pools and the lagoon during daily operations will
be treated, as required, and conveyed via an underground pipe to the golf course lake. These
activities are part of the daily maintenance of the Project, and will not impact flooding, as any
water accumulated in the lagoon or pools would be accommodated in these facilities, and
would not increase on -site flows.
Golf Course Turf Reduction and Landscaping Improvements: Turf areas within the golf course
currently are part of the existing golf course drainage plan, and drain into existing facilities.
Replacement of turf with desert landscaping will not change these conditions, or the amount
of stormflow generated in these areas. No impact is anticipated.
Overflow Parking: This parking lot will be improved without any significant changes to its
existing drainage pattern, with the addition of required retention facilities. The requirements
of mitigation measures HYD-1 through HYD-3 will apply to this component of the Project,
reducing impacts to less than significant levels
Soil Removal/Storage: Soil removal and distribution on off -site locations will not contribute to
increased storm flows. The distribution of soils on other parts of the golf course, or its transport
to an off -site location at the Classic Club would not impact flood control systems. In either
case, soil would be integrated into existing facilities, and storm flows would not be affected.

G. PUBLIC SERVICES
Threshold:
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
• Fire protection
• Police protection
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.14-6 through -14)
Explanation:
am
The construction of all components within the proposed Project will result in a potential
increase in the need for security to prevent theft or vandalism of construction activities and w
equipment. This potential impact can be avoided with the implementation of mitigation
measure PS-4, which requires that construction sites and equipment and storage areas be
fenced and locked outside of construction hours.
Surf Lagoon and Surf Center
In addition to the public access points provided on Desert Willow Drive, a third emergency
access will be provided at the northwestern portion of the project, from the adjacent Westin
project Willow Ridge roadway. The internal roadway system would be designed to provide
looped secondary emergency vehicle access and egress. Fire lanes, turning radii and back
up space around buildings will require approval of the Fire Marshall, so as to be assure
adequate access for emergency and fire equipment vehicles.
The operation of the lagoon and surf center will increase the demand for police and fire
protection and emergency response services. Increased risks may include water safety and
emergency medical incidents, particularly at the surf lagoon and during special events.
Overall, with the buildout of the proposed lagoon and surf center, the net increase in persons
at the project site on a daily basis would not require a substantial increase in police or fire
protection services in order to maintain the current service ratio for these services. No new
or expanded stations, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
impacts, would be needed as a result of the proposed Project. However, additional police and am
fire department support may be required during special events, and private security personnel
we
0
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
should be employed onsite to minimize additional demands for police services. To assure
that impacts associated with public safety services are mitigated, Mitigation Measures PS-1
through PS-3 require the provision of private security services on site, and the coordination
and approval of RCSD for special events. With implementation of Mitigation Measures PS-1
through PS-3, impacts to police and fire protection services would be less than significant.
Hotel and Villas
The major public roads that serve the Project site are the same as those described above for
the surf lagoon and surf center. The same requirements for fire lanes, turning radii and back
up space around buildings will apply to the hotel(s) and villas, and will require approval of the
Fire Marshall.
The Project's demand for services is expected to be consistent with that of other residential
and resort development in the Project vicinity. It is not expected to require the construction of
new or physically altered facilities that might result in physical environmental impacts. Impacts
are expected to be less than significant.
Off -site Improvements
Stormwater Management, Pool/Lagoon Discharge, Golf Course Turf Reduction and
Landscaping Improvements: These components of the Project would not generate any
demand for police or fire protection services, therefore, no impact is anticipated.
Overflow Parking: The use of the off -site parking facility will be associated with the special
events held at the Surf Lagoon, and would be tied to safety and traffic plans for these events.
The use of the parking lot will have similar impacts to fire protection during special events as
the surf center, and would be subject to Mitigation Measures PS-2 and PS-3, assuring that
impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
Soil Removal/Storage: These components of the Project would not generate any demand for
police or fire protection services, therefore, no impact is anticipated.
Mitigation Measure PS-1
All components of the Project shall be required to employ on -site private security.
Mitigation Measure PS-2
Per the City's Municipal Code Sections 5.87.180 and 5.100.02024, at least two weeks prior to
a special event at the lagoon area, the applicant shall file a "Special Event Temporary
Entertainment Permit." Event notifications and specifics shall be approved in advance with
the RCSD and Fire Marshall prior to scheduled events.
Mitigation Measure PS-3
Project facilities shall be designed and maintained to maximize public safety, including
providing secure facilities access and parking, adequate nighttime lighting, maximization of
defensible space and minimization of "dead zones, "and professional security personnel. The

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Project proponent shall coordinate with the Police Department to assure the Project is
designed to address these and other safety concerns.
Mitigation Measure PS-4
During construction, excavation areas, construction staging, and storage areas shall be
fenced and locked. All equipment shall be returned to staging and storage areas at the end
of each work day.
H. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
1. Circulation System Compliance
Threshold:
a) Does the Project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the
circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.15-12 through -23)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotels and Villas
Palm Desert LOS Policy
According to the Palm Desert General Plan, the City's optimal level -of -service for
intersections and roadway segments is LOS C, but LOS D is considered the minimum
acceptable service level. The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) determined that the intersection
at Cook Street and Market Place Drive currently operates at an unacceptable LOS during PM
peak hours, and with the addition of the Project, it will continue to operate at an unacceptable
LOS during one or more peak hours. Mitigation will be required to reduce impacts to less than
significant levels, as provided in mitigation measure TRANSP-1, which requires that the
Project pay its fair share of the installation of a traffic signal at this location. Further, the
Development Agreement requires that the payment be made by the Project proponent, and
that the City install the signal prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Surf
Center. This assures that the improvement will be complete at the time that the Project is
operational, and that the impact will be less than significant when the Project begins
operations.
TIA Assumptions and Scenarios
The TIA evaluated five (5) Project impact scenarios. Detailed descriptions, data tables, and
exhibits are contained in the TIA (Appendix H of the EIR). Where ambient growth was
included in the analysis, an ambient growth factor of 6.12% (2% per year over 3 years,
compounded annually) was used to account for background traffic growth.
1. Existing Conditions Plus Project E+P: As shown in Tables 2.15-2 through -3 of the
EIR, E+P conditions will result in unacceptable LOS at the intersection of Cook Street
and Market Place Drive.

ft"o
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
2. Existinq Conditions + Ambient Growth + Proiect (EAP (2022, Typical Operation)): As
shown Tables 2.15-5 and -6 of the EIR, EAP (2022, Typical Operation) conditions will
result in unacceptable LOS at the intersection of Cook Street and Market Place Drive.
3. EAP (2022, Special Event) (Existing Conditions + Ambient Growth + Proiect): Special
event analysis assumes weekend arrival and departure peak hours. As shown in
Tables 2.15-8 and -9 of the EIR, EAP (2022, Special Event) conditions will result in
unacceptable LOS at the intersection of Cook Street and Market Place Drive.
The TIA also analyzed potential impacts of the proposed Project on the 1-10 freeway ramps
at Cook Street, since special events are expected to attract travelers from more distant
locations that will require freeway travel. As shown in Table 2.5-11 of the EIR, the freeway
off -ramps will operate at acceptable levels during special events.
With installation of a traffic signal (Mitigation Measure TRANSP-1), the Cook Street and
Market Place Drive intersection will operate at an acceptable LOS. Expansion of the
eastbound left turn lane on Market Place Drive at Cook Street to a minimum of 165 feet
(Mitigation Measure TRANSP-2) will also reduce Project impacts at this intersection.
Mitigation measures TRANSP-3 and TRANSP-4 will further enhance site access and traffic
safety at the Project site by requiring implementation of onsite traffic signing and striping plans
and review of sight distance at Project access points.
Transit, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Facilities
The surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas will have no impact on transit, bicycle, or
pedestrian facilities. The Project will not impact sidewalks or golf paths within Desert Willow
Golf Course. It does not propose new transit or bicycle facilities, or modifications to existing
ones, and will not conflict with any such programs, plans, ordinances, or policies. Internal
walkways and trails will connect to existing sidewalks and pathways on Desert Willow Drive,
which then connect to sidewalks on Country Club Drive.
Off -Site Improvements
Stormwater Management, Pool/Lagoon Discharge, Golf Course Turf Reduction and
Landscaping Improvements: These Project component involve installation of subsurface
infrastructure and landscaping. They will have no impact on circulation system plans, policies,
or programs.
Overflow Parking: It is expected that the proposed Project will host special events that could
result in up to 3,500 guests. Additional parking for such events is planned at the overflow
parking lot at the southeast corner of Desert Willow Drive and Market Place Drive. Preliminary
designs for this parking lot estimate that approximately 285± parking spaces can be provided
in a fully improved parking lot.
The TIA determined that with a fully attended special event, up to 1,459 vehicles would
require parking during a special event day. This estimate is based on the estimated number
of guests at special events (3,500) and a vehicle occupancy ratio of 2.4 persons per vehicle.
The TIA further determined that since these guests would be coming and going, up to 1,021
parking spaces would be required to accommodate a special event. In addition to the 285
parking spaces available at the overflow parking lot, up to 736 additional parking spaces
would be required. Off -site parking venues and shuttle service would be required to
63
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
supplement the Project's parking demand. A number of off -site locations are possible,
including a portion of the 13,000 parking spaces available at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden,
which has indicated that it would have capacity to rent parking spaces to the proposed Project
for special events. Without additional off -site parking, however, potential impacts associated
with parking and site access could result in significant impacts to the Project site and
surrounding roadway network. However, implementation of mitigation measures TRANSP-5
through TRANSP-14 will reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. They require
the Project proponent to implement a Special Event Traffic Management Plan that uses
temporary signage, flaggers, traffic signal timing adjustments, shuttle services, and other
mechanisms to facilitate the movement of special event traffic and reduce impacts to roads
in the Project vicinity. With implementation of these mitigation measures, parking impacts
during special events will be reduced to less than significant levels.
Soil Removal/Storage: The removal and storage of soils will have no impact on circulation
plans, policies, or programs. Any haul trucks transporting excess Project soils to the Classic
Club (2.5 miles to the north) can be expected to use Country Club Drive and Cook Street,
both of which are designated truck routes.
Mitigation Measure TRANSP-1
The Project proponent shall pay its fair share of the costs of installing a traffic signal at the
intersection of Cook Street and Market Place Drive. The fair share amount shall be 12.1 %,
as defined in Table 1-5 of the `DSRT SURF Traffic Impact Analysis, City of Palm Desert, "

with individual plans addressing specific special events based on their size and duration. The
Special Event Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted to the City prior to certificate of
occupancy for the Surf Center. Individual management plans for specific special events shall
be submitted at least 30 days prior to the start of the event. The Special Event Traffic

2. Emergency Access
Threshold:
d) Would the Project result in inadequate emergency access?
Finding: Less than significant with mitigation (EIR, p. 2.15-29 and -30)
Explanation:
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, Hotel and Villas
Emergency vehicles will be able to access the surf lagoon, surf center, hotel, and villas via
two main driveways on Desert Willow Drive and a gated emergency entrance on Willow
Ridge. The internal roadway will provide vehicular access around the perimeter of the lagoon.
Prior to the initiation of any site disturbance, the Project proponent will be required to confer
with the City Public Works, Fire, and Police departments to assure that demolition (of the
existing parking lot), grading, and construction plans provide adequate emergency access.
All development plans will be reviewed by the Police and Fire Departments to assure that
adequate fire lanes, vehicle turning radius, and signage is provided for emergency vehicles
during all phases of development and operation (Mitigation Measures TRANSP-15 through
TRANSP-19). With implementation of these mitigation measures, Project -related impacts will
be less than significant.
Off -Site Improvements
Stormwater Management, Pool/Lagoon Discharge: Construction of all Project components,
including stormwater management infrastructure, will be subject to plan review by the Public
Works, Fire, and Police Departments (TRANSP-15), which will reduce potential impacts to
less than significant levels. After construction is complete, this Project component will have
no impact on emergency access.
Golf Course Turf Reduction: The replacement of turf with desert landscaping will have no
impact on emergency access. After the program is complete, this Project component will have
no impact on emergency access.
Landscaping Improvements: Installation of perimeter landscaping will be incorporated into
project plans, and will be subject to the same coordination with Public Works, Fire and Police
as other project components, which will reduce impacts to less than significant levels. After
installation is complete, this Project component will have no impact on emergency access.
Overflow Parking: Direct emergency access to the overflow parking lot is currently provided
via Market Place Drive on the north and Desert Willow Drive on the west; this will remain the
66
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
same after the parking lot is paved and improved. Construction and vehicle staging plans
associated with improvement of the parking lot will be subject to review by the Public Works,
Fire, and Police Departments (TRANSP-15), which will reduce potential impacts to less than
significant levels. After improvements are complete, access will remain via both roads
currently serving the site, and will provide emergency access for Fire and Police calls.
Soil Removal/Storage: All Project components, including the staging of haul trucks, will be
subject to plan review by the Public Works, Fire, and Police Departments (TRANSP-15),
which will reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Any trucks transporting soil
off -site to the Classic Club will travel on existing roads; Mitigation measure TRANSP-16 will
assure that any Project -related spills are cleaned up immediately. After construction is
complete, soil removal/storage will cease, and this Project component will have no impact on
emergency access.
Mitigation Measure TRANSP-15
Prior to site disturbance, construction staging plans shall be approved by the Public Works,
Fire, and Police Departments to assure they adequately consider and account for temporary
detours, changing access to business and residential areas, and emergency access, and that
they cause minimal disruption to adjoining streets and land uses, during all phases of Project
development.
Mitigation Measure TRANSP-16
The Construction Manager shall be required to identify and promptly repair any Project -
related damage to existing public roads upon completion of each phase of Project
development. The Construction Manager shall monitor the condition of these routes
throughout the construction process and, in the event of an accidental load spill or other
Project -related incident, shall arrange for the immediate clean-up of any material with street
sweepers or other necessary procedures.
Mitigation Measure TRANSP-17

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 6: FINDINGS REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS NOT FULLY
MITIGATED TO A LEVEL OF LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT Me
The City Council hereby finds that, despite the incorporation of Mitigation Measures outlined %Mo
in the EIR and in this Resolution, the following impacts from the DSRT SURF Project and
related approvals cannot be fully mitigated to a less than significant level and a Statement of
Overriding Considerations is therefore included herein:
A. AIR QUALITY
Threshold:
b) Would the Project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or
state ambient air quality standard?
Finding: Significant and unavoidable with mitigation incorporated. (EIR, p. 2.3-13 through -
18)
Explanation: Due to the cumulative nature of assessing air quality impacts, the following
discussion and analysis addresses the entire Project as a whole, including the surf lagoon,
surf center, hotels, villas, and off -site improvements.
Buildout of the proposed Project will result in the direct and indirect generation and emission
of air pollutants during construction and operation. The California Emissions Estimator Model
(CalEEMod), version 2016.3.2, was used to estimate potential air pollutant emissions
associated with the proposed Project.
As shown in Table 2.3-6 Construction Emissions Summary, as revised (EIR, p 2.3-14),
SCAQMD daily thresholds for CO, NO), ROG, SOx, PM,o and PM2.5 will not be exceeded
during construction of the proposed Project, and those impacts will be less than significant.
However, as described below, emissions during the life of the Project will exceed SCAQMD
thresholds.
Operational emissions are those released over the long-term life of the proposed Project.
They include emissions generated by area, energy, and mobile sources. Separate emissions
estimates were provided for typical operations versus special event operations. As explained
in Section 1 of the EIR, the Project could host special events that attract up to 3,500
spectators and require use of an overflow parking lot and shuttle service. It is currently
unknown how many special events will be held annually. However, it is assumed that 12
special events would be held annually. Trip generation numbers are those reported in the
Project -specific traffic impact analysis (Appendix H of the EIR), and represent conservative
maximum potential trips: 5,496 weekday daily trips during typical operations, and 7,288
weekend daily trips during special events. It is also assumed that the average trip length is
25 miles to account for visitors traveling to the project site from greater distances throughout
the valley25.
25 It is assumed as an average of local commuters (workers and valley residents traveling an average
of 7 miles) and regional/southern California commuters traveling approximately 75-100 miles, most WO
68
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
As shown in Table 2.3-7 Unmitigated Operational Emissions Summary, as revised (EIR, p.
2.3-17), Project -generated operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
CO, ROG, SOX, PM,o, or PM2.5 during typical operations or special events. However, Project -
generated NOX emissions will exceed SCAQMD thresholds during both types of operations.
Projected NO, exceedances are largely associated with the number of vehicle trips expected
to be generated at Project buildout. Approximately 94 percent of Project -related NOx
emissions are due to motor vehicle trips. Because Project -related NOx emissions are directly
linked to motor vehicle trip generation rates associated with the proposed land uses, there
are no feasible ways to mitigate NOx emissions without changing project land uses, or project
density.
The number of vehicle trips could be reduced, to some extent, by the use of alternative modes
of transportation by those accessing the Project site. A Sunline Transit Agency bus stop is
located immediately adjacent to Desert Willow Golf Resort, at the intersection of Country Club
Drive and Desert Willow Drive. A Class III bike lane extends along Country Club Drive, just
outside the Desert Willow Golf Resort. Use of these facilities by Project patrons and
employees would reduce Project -related vehicle trips and consumption of fossil fuels.
However, the elective use of alternative modes of transportation by Project patrons cannot
be confidently quantified and applied as a mitigation measure. Therefore, operational impacts
will continue to exceed NOx emission thresholds, and impacts will be significant and
unavoidable.
Health Impacts
With today's technology, it is not scientifically possible to calculate the degree to which
exposure to various levels of NOx emissions will impact an individual's health. Although there
is a scientific consensus that there are health risks associated with exposure to elevated
levels of NOx, there are several factors that make predicting a Project -specific numerical
impact difficult:
Not all individuals will be affected equally due to medical history. Some may have medical
pre -dispositions and diet and exercise levels tend to vary across a population.
Due to the dispersing nature of the pollutant and transient nature of vehicles (the emission
source), it is difficult to locate and identify which group of individuals will be impacted,
either directly or indirectly.
There are currently no approved methodologies or studies to base assumptions on, such
as baseline health levels or NOx emission level -to -health risk ratios.
On -site health risks associated with NOx are expected to be less than significant because the
project is not located in proximity to a major roadway and will not directly be exposed to
concentrated vehicle emissions or elevated levels of NOx. However, for the reasons stated
above, it is uncertain how the Project will impact health in the region. Because the Project's
NOx exceedances are due to motor vehicle travel, and motor vehicle travel increases with
population growth, it can be assumed that individuals in the region are already exposed to
increasing levels of NOx emissions and that the Project with only marginally contribute to
existing conditions. Additionally, Project emissions assume full capacity traffic conditions. In
of whom will be staying at the proposed hotels. Hotel guests will commute 75-100 miles to and from
the project site, but the duration of their stay will be local and limited to approximately 2-5 miles.
Therefore, a daily length of 25 miles was applied to provide an average trip length.
69
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
reality, the Project site will not reach capacity most days, especially in the winter months due
to the seasonal nature of Project activities (surfing). "M
The extent to which the Project poses a health risk is uncertain but unavoidable. It is ` o
anticipated that impacts associated with NOx will be less than significant overall, and will only
pose a significant risk during summer special events due to the seasonal nature of Project
activities and the reality that the Project is not expected to reach maximum capacity often,
thus generating fewer vehicle trips.
Cumulative Contribution: Non -Attainment Criteria Pollutants
CO, NOx, and ROG are precursors to ozone, for which the Coachella Valley is in non -
attainment. The Project will not exceed thresholds for CO or ROG; however, it will contribute
to increased regional NOX emissions. Mitigation measures AQ-1 through AQ-8 provide a
number of strategies to reduce operational air emissions to the greatest extent possible,
including but not limited to the provision of electric charging stations, the limitation of idling
delivery vehicle times, and the creation of Employee Commute Reduction Programs for large
employers within the Project, such as the future hotels.
Mitigation Measure AQ-1
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
At least 6% of all vehicle parking spaces shall include EV charging stations and 8% of all
vehicle parking spaces shall include designated parking for clean air vehicles.
Mitigation Measure AQ-2

Delivery vehicle idling time shall be limited to no more than five minutes. For any delivery that
is expected to take longer than five minutes, the vehicle's operator shall be required to shut
off the engine. The Project proponent shall notify vendors of these idling requirements at the
time the delivery purchase order is issued and again when vehicles enter the facility. Signs
shall be posted at entry to the facility's delivery area stating that idling longer than five minutes

B. GREENHOUSE GASES
Threshold:
a) Would the Project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly,
that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Finding: Significant and unavoidable with mitigation incorporated. (EIR, p. 2.8-7 through -10)
Explanation:
Due to the cumulative nature of assessing GHG emission impacts, the following discussion
and analysis addresses the entire Project as a whole, including the surf lagoon, surf center,
hotels, villas, and off -site improvements.
Buildout of the proposed Project will result in the direct and indirect generation and emission
of GHGs during construction and operation. The California Emissions Estimator Model
(CalEEMod), version 2016.3.2, was used to estimate potential GHG emissions associated
with the proposed Project.
Construction emission results are summarized in Table 2.8-1, as revised (EIR, p. 2.8-7). GHG
emissions will be temporary and will end once construction is complete. All components of
construction, including equipment, fuels, and materials, will be subject to current regulations
of GHGs and equipment efficiency standards, which are meant to reduce GHG emissions.
There are currently no construction -related GHG emission thresholds for projects of this
nature. To determine if construction emissions will result in a significant impact, build out GHG
emissions were amortized over a 30-year period and added to annual operational emissions
to be compared to applicable GHG thresholds.26
Operational emissions will occur throughout the life of the Project. At buildout, five emission
source categories will contribute either directly or indirectly to operational GHG emissions:
26 "Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and Plans," SCAQMD,
December 5, 2008.
71
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
energy/electricity usage, water usage, solid waste disposal, area emissions (pavement and
architectural coating off -gassing), and mobile sources. Annual operational GHG emissions
generated by the proposed Project were analyzed under two scenarios: 1) typical operations,
and 2) special event operations. For analysis purposes, it was assumed that 12 special events
would be held per year. Special event emissions have been added to typical operation
emissions and amortized construction emissions, as shown in Table 2.8-3, as revised, of the
EIR (p. 2.8-9). Operation of the Proposed Project would emit approximately 18,000 MT/CO2E
annually. The bulk of operational emissions are largely due to the number of vehicle trips
generated by the Project.
The SCAQMD draft interim guidance document27 recommends a threshold for all projects
using a tiered approach. It was recommended by SCAQMD staff that a project's greenhouse
gas emissions would be considered significant if it could not comply with at least one of the
following "tiered" tests:
Tier 1: Is there an applicable exemption?
Does Not Comply: The proposed Project does not qualify for an applicable
exemption under CEQA.
Tier 2: Is the project compliant with a greenhouse gas reduction plan that is, at a
minimum, consistent with the goals of AB 32?
Does Not Comply: Although the City of Palm Desert has an adopted
Environmental Sustainability Plan which is consistent with AB 32, the Project
would not comply with Tier 2 because the Plan is not a CEQA certified
document. SCAQMD requires that the "greenhouse gas reduction plan," in this
case the Sustainability Plan, have a certified Final CEQA document.
Tier 3: Is the project below an absolute threshold (10,000 MTCO2e/yr for industrial
projects; 3,000 MTCO2e/yr for residential and commercial projects)?
Does Not Comply: The proposed Project is considered a commercial project
and is estimated to emit 18,048.97 MT of CO2e annually.
Tier 4: Is the project below a (yet to be set) performance threshold?
Does Not Comply: There are currently no performance thresholds applicable
to the proposed Project to measure against.
Tier 5: Would the project achieve a screening level with off -site mitigation?
Does Not Comply: The off -site mitigation proposed for the Project (Turf
Reduction Plan) will offset water demands, but will not reduce Project GHG
emissions to achieve a screening level.
The Project would not comply with any of the tiered tests presented above, and will therefore
have significant and unavoidable impacts associated with GHG emissions.
Mitigation Measure GHG-1 assures that the Project adheres to the Palm Desert
Environmental Sustainability Plan28, and its implementation would help reduce GHG emission
27 Draft Guidance Document - Interim CEQA Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Significance Threshold,
prepared by SCAQMD, October 2008.
28 It should be noted that adherence to the Environmental Sustainability Plan, which is consistent with
AB 32, would not comply with Tier 2 because the Plan is not a CEQA certified document. SCAQMD
requires that the "greenhouse gas reduction plan," in this case the Sustainability Plan, have a certified
Final CEQA document.

impacts. However the reductions associated with GHG-1 cannot be quantified, and emissions
will remain significant and unavoidable.
Mitigation Measure GHG-1
The Project shall implement the policies of the Palm Desert Environmental Sustainability Plan
applicable to its development. The Project shall adhere to the following principals, goals, and
actions:
• Adherence to California Building Code, Title 24;
• Assess potential for light-colored surfaces and shading to reduce urban heat island effect;
• Incorporate solar power;
• Use water efficient technologies to reduce water waste;
• Require mandatory waste diversion of 100% inert and 75% other debris from residential,
commercial, and construction debris;
• Promote programs that replace turf with native low water -use plants, trees, ground cover
and "hard-scapes," including the redesign of golf courses to reduce the amount of
irrigation required;
• Use "desert style landscaping" and require "time -of -use" irrigating to reduce evaporation.
Threshold:
b) Does the Project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Finding: Significant and unavoidable with mitigation incorporated. (EIR, p. 2.8-7 through -10)
Explanation:
All components of construction and operation, including equipment, fuels, materials, and
management practices, would be subject to current SCAQMD rules and regulations related
to greenhouse gases. The Project will also adhere to the required state tow Carbon Fuel
Standard for construction equipment and heavy-duty vehicle efficiency standards.
Because the Project would result in Significant and Unavoidable impacts, as discussed
above, it can be argued that operational impacts would conflict with GHG reduction goals
because operation of the Project would either exceed or not comply with SCAQMD's interim
tiered thresholds. By exceeding such thresholds, the Project is contributing to GHG emissions
at a level that is not conducive to reducing state and local GHG emissions. Although
implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1 (above) will assure the Project complies with
the Palm Desert Environmental Sustainability Plan, impacts are considered significant and
unavoidable.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 7: FINDINGS REGARDING CUMULATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
wno
The State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR 15130) require a reasonable analysis of the
significant cumulative impacts of a Proposed Project. Cumulative impacts are defined by %we
CEQA as "two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable
or which compound or increase other environmental impacts" (State CEQA Guidelines,
Section 15355). Currently there are several projects with approved environmental
documentation proposed to occur within or near the project vicinity.
Consistent with CEQA's requirements, the EIR for the DSRT SURF Specific Plan includes an
analysis of cumulative impacts, which include the impacts of DSRT SURF plus all other
pending or approved projects within the affected area for each resource. The geographic
scope of the analysis the jurisdictions of the Coachella Valley, unless specifically identified
below.
The City Council hereby finds as follows:
A. AESTHETICS
Visual resources in Palm Desert at build out of the General Plan were considered to
determine the extent to which the proposed Project would impact aesthetic resources.
General Plan and zoning policies and standards relating to visual resources and lighting were
also evaluated.
The hillsides and the slopes of surrounding mountain ranges are a defining feature of the
Coachella Valley and highly valued by residents and visitors. The Project site is on the valley %WO
floor and not within or near a scenic roadway or view corridor that showcases scenic views.
It is in an urban area characterized by commercial, residential, resort, and other development
that generates traffic and light sources. The Project is consistent with these land uses and
golf course and resort residential development in the immediate vicinity, as well as building
heights and architectural styles in the area, and permitted in the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance. It will not significantly change the visual character of the area or contribute to
cumulative increases in visual effects. Aesthetic impacts associated with the Project will be
less than cumulatively considerable. (EIR, p. 2.2-42).
B. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
The Project will not affect any agricultural and forestry resources because it will not occur on
or adjacent to any such resource. (EIR, p. 2.1-2)
C. AIR QUALITY
The SSAB is designated as nonattainment under both the CAAQS and the NAAQS for ozone
and PM,o. Emissions of CO, NOx, and ROG that exceed the SCAQMD operational thresholds
would contribute to the ozone nonattainment designation, while emissions of PM,o that
exceed the SCAQMD thresholds would contribute to the PM,o nonattainment designation of
the SSAB. .�
Cumulative potential impacts to air quality are assessed on a regional scale given the
dispersing nature of pollutant emissions and aggregate impacts from surrounding jurisdictions
74
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
and air management districts. Any activity resulting in emissions of PM1o, ozone, or ozone
precursors will contribute, to some degree, to regional non -attainment designations of ozone
and PM,o. However, the level of cumulative impact a single project may have on regional air
quality is difficult to measure.
The Coachella Valley is subject to the SCAQMD 2016 Air Quality Management Plan and the
2003 PM,o Coachella Valley State Implementation Plan (CVSIP) to ensure levels of criteria
pollutants are regulated and minimized to the best of the region's ability. The 2016 AQMP
has set forth attainment deadlines and future emission level projections for criteria pollutants
within the project area, which satisfy Section 15130(b)(1)(B) of the CEQA guidelines for
analyzing cumulative impacts. These regional plans provide guidelines and rules for
achieving state and federal air quality standards, which aim to reduce cumulative impacts,
particularly through the enforcement of SCAQMD daily thresholds and implementation of
time -sensitive reduction strategies to achieve attainment status.
Regulation of Ozone
SCAQMD studies indicate that most ozone is transported to the Salton Sea Air Basin from
the upwind sources in the South Coast Air Basin. The amount of ozone contributed from other
air basins is difficult to quantify; however, improved air quality in the project area depends
upon reduced ozone emissions in the South Coast Air Basin. Therefore, cumulative impacts
to ozone are better managed on a multi -regional scale as opposed to single projects. The
SCAQMD 2016 AQMP provides current and future measures to reduce both stationary and
mobile source ozone emissions. Proposed measures to reduce ozone include emission
reductions from coatings and solvents, RECLAIM facilities, early transitions to cleaner mobile
technologies, and incentives to adopt net zero and near zero technologies.29
CaIEEMod does not calculate ozone emissions directly and therefore emissions of ozone
precursors (CO, NOx, and ROG) were evaluated to determine Project -related impacts to
ozone. Ozone precursors are the primary pollutants involved in the chemical reaction process
that forms ozone. The proposed Project will not exceed thresholds for CO, NOx, or ROG
during construction. During operation, the Project will not exceed thresholds for CO or ROG;
however, it will exceed thresholds for NOx, largely due to mobile sources.
As discussed above, operational NOx emissions cannot be reduced through conventional
mitigation measures. Because NOx is a precursor to ozone, impacts are considered
significant and unavoidable and will have cumulatively considerable impacts to regional non -
attainment designation for ozone.
Regulation of PM,o
Similar to ozone, PM,o is regulated through the SCAQMD 2016 Air Quality Management Plan
and 2003 PM,o Coachella Valley State Implementation Plan (CVSIP). Additional PM10
reduction measures include applicable state code and AQMD Rules, such as Rule 403
(Fugitive Dust), which enforces fugitive dust compliance for all activities within the SSAB. As
shown in Section 2.3.6.b, the proposed Project will not exceed local daily thresholds for PM10
during construction or operation. Therefore, cumulative impacts to PM,o are considered less
than significant. (EIR, p. 2.3-22 and -23)

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
one
Using the summary of projections method to analyze cumulative impacts set forth in State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15130 (b)(1)(B), impacts have been assessed on both a regional ...
and local level. The primary document used to determine cumulative impacts was the
CVMSCCP, which was designed for the long-term protection and regulation of biological
resources in the Project area.
The Project site is not within any CVMSCHP designated Conservation Area and does not
contain any wildlife movement corridors or linkages. It does not contain any riparian areas or
jurisdictional water features. The site has been disturbed by paving, grading, and installation
of irrigation systems, and it is completely surrounded by urban development. As such, onsite
habitat quality has been degraded, and the potential for it to harbor sensitive species is very
low to low. As described above, potential impacts to biological resources will be mitigated to
less than significant levels. Therefore, the Project's impacts to biological resources will be
less than significant, and the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts will not be
cumulatively considerable. (EIR, p. 2.4-22).
E. CULTURAL AND TRIBAL RESOURCES
The geographic scope of analysis of potential cumulative impacts on cultural, historical, and
tribal resources includes the Project site, its immediate vicinity, and the traditional use areas
of the Cahuilla people in the Coachella Valley. The Project would contribute considerably to
cumulative impacts if it were to have a substantial or significant adverse effect on such
resources in the Coachella Valley.
The cultural resources survey conducted for the proposed Project evaluated a wide range of
literature, data, and information on historic, archaeological, and tribal resources that has
added to a baseline of knowledge and understanding of these resources. Tribal
representatives were contacted for their knowledge, input, and coordination regarding the
presence of tribal resources in the Project area. No historical resources have been identified
onsite as listed or eligible for listing under the California Register of Historical Resources or
the National Register of Historic Places. No archaeological resources have been identified
onsite. The potential for buried artifacts or resources to be unearthed during Project
development exists; however, potential impacts will be mitigated to less than significant levels
through implementation of the mitigation measures set forth above. No new unmitigated
impacts to historic or archaeological resources will result from the construction or operation
of the proposed Project that are cumulatively considerable. (EIR, p. 2.5-19 and -20)
F. ENERGY
Potential cumulative impacts on energy would result if the proposed Project, in combination
with past, present, and future projects, would result in the wasteful or inefficient use of energy.
This could result from development that would not incorporate sufficient building energy
efficiency features, would not achieve building energy efficiency standards, or would result in
the unnecessary use of energy during construction and/or operation. The cumulative projects
within the areas serviced by the energy service providers would be applicable to this analysis.
Projects that include development of large buildings or other structures that would have the
potential to consume energy in an inefficient manner would have the potential to contribute
76
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
to a cumulative impact. Projects that would mostly include construction, such as
transportation infrastructure, could also contribute to a cumulative impact; however, the
impact of these projects would be limited because they would typically not involve substantial
ongoing energy use.
The proposed Project would result in an increase in the consumption of electricity, natural
gas, and transportation -related energy, however, it would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or
unnecessary use of energy due to design features, including design to accommodate a
balanced mix of uses internal to the proposed Project, installation of energy -efficient
appliances and efficient water fixtures, and the offset of electrical energy usage through the
installation of PV solar panels. Similar to the proposed Project, other cumulative projects
would be subject to CALGreen, which provides energy efficiency standards for commercial
and residential buildings. CALGreen would implement increasingly stringent energy efficiency
standards that would require the proposed Project and the cumulative projects to minimize
the wasteful and inefficient use of energy. In addition, cumulative projects would be required
to meet or exceed Title 24 building standards, further reducing the inefficient use of energy.
Future development would also be required to meet even more stringent requirements,
including the objectives set in the AB 32 Scoping Plan (CARB 2017), which would seek to
make all newly constructed residential homes zero net energy (ZNE) consumers by 202030
and all new commercial buildings zero net energy (ZNE) consumers by 2030.31 Furthermore,
various federal, state and local regulations would serve to reduce the transportation fuel
demand of cumulative projects. Therefore, cumulative impacts related to energy resources
are considered less than significant. (EIR, p 2.6-16 and -17).
G. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Potential cumulative impacts on geology and soils could result from projects that combine to
create geologic hazards, including unstable geologic conditions. However, most geology and
soil hazards associated with development projects in the surrounding area would be site -
specific. Nonetheless, cumulative growth in the Project area would expose a greater number
of people to seismic hazards. However, as with the Project, all future projects in the region
would be subject to established guidelines and regulations pertaining to building design and
seismic safety, including those set forth in the California Building Code and the Palm Desert
Building Code. With adherence to such regulations, Project impacts with regard to geology
and soils would not be cumulatively considerable. (EIR, p. 2.7-25)
H. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Cumulative impacts were analyzed on a regional scale due to the dispersing nature of
pollutant emissions and aggregate impacts from surrounding jurisdictions and air
management districts. Through analysis of the regional and statewide plans for GHG
reductions, a summary of projects approach was used. The geographic scope for the analysis
of potential cumulative greenhouse gas impacts is the overall Salton Sea Air Basin region in

Utilities Commission Energy Division and California Energy Commission Efficiency Division.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
which the projects are being constructed and operated. However, some percentage of
vehicular GHG emissions associated with the construction and operation of the proposed son
Project may also come from sources outside of the SSAB.
%me
Operation of the proposed Project would exceed established SCAQMD thresholds and
potential impacts would be reduced through adherence to the City's Environmental
Sustainability Plan. However, because the Project has significant and unavoidable impacts
related to GHG emissions, the proposed Project will also make a cumulatively considerable
contribution to GHG levels. (EIR, p. 2.8-11 and -12).
I. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous materials and risk of upset conditions are largely site -specific, and would occur
on a case -by -case basis for each individual project affected, in conjunction with development
proposals on these properties. All new developments in the City are required to evaluate
potential threats to public safety, including those associated with the accidental release of
hazardous materials into the environment during construction and operation, emergency
response, transport/use/disposal of hazardous materials, and hazards to sensitive receptors
(including schools).
Implementation of the regulatory compliance measures and traffic -related mitigation
measures would reduce the proposed Project's potential impacts associated with the
accidental release of hazardous materials during construction and operation as well as
emergency response to less than significant levels, such that the proposed Project would not Ono
combine with any of the related projects to cause a cumulatively significant impact. Further,
each related project would be required to follow local, State and federal laws regarding %No
hazardous materials and other hazards. Therefore, with compliance with local, State and
federal laws pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials, cumulative impacts would be
less than significant. (EIR, p. 2.9-13 and -14).
J. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Implementation of the proposed Project, along with related projects in the Project vicinity,
would have a potential impact on storm drainage and water quality. The proposed Project is
located in an urbanized area where most of the surrounding properties are already developed,
and the related projects are located in the Desert Willow Golf Course. The storm drainage
system serving the Project vicinity has been designed to accommodate runoff from all sites
within this nearly built -out environment. Development of the site would convert it to impervious
surfaces contributing surface runoff. However, the proposed Project would be designed to
minimize impacts to the local storm drainage system, and would integrate into it, as would
other future projects on the remaining vacant sites. Thus, the proposed Project would mitigate
its incremental contribution to the local storm drainage system and would not contribute to a
significant cumulative impact. With the implementation of the required City, CVWD, and other
water discharge requirements, impacts on hydrology and water quality would be less than
significant. (EIR, p. 2.10-33).
K. LAND USE
The geographic scope for the analysis of cumulative impacts on land use consists of each
project area and the immediate vicinity around each of these sites where adverse land use ""
78
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
impacts could occur. Any cumulative project impacts related to land use would be consistent
with the land uses in the cumulative study area. There are no potential project conflicts or
inconsistencies with applicable adopted plans, policies and regulations, and the project would
not combine with others to result in a substantial cumulative impact. Overall, there will be a
less than cumulatively substantial effect on existing and planned land uses generated by this
Project. (EIR, p. 2.11-23)
L. NOISE
Noise levels tend to diminish quickly with distance from a source; therefore, the geographic
scope for the analysis of cumulative impacts related to noise would be limited to projects
within approximately 0.25 mile of proposed Project components and access routes. This area
is defined as the geographic extent of the cumulative impact area because noise impacts
would generally be localized, mainly within approximately 500 feet from any noise source;
however, it is possible that noise from different sources within 0.25 mile of each other could
combine to create a significant impact to receptors at any point between the projects. At
distances greater than 0.25 mile, construction noise would be briefly audible and steady
construction noise from the proposed Project would generally dissipate into background noise
levels.
A cumulative traffic noise impact occurs when the noise level would exceed the applicable
standard and result in a substantial noise level increase. The Project's contribution to the
future noise level on area roadways is determined by comparing future noise conditions
without and with the proposed Project. Results show that adding the proposed Project's noise
levels to the future noise levels would not result in an adverse cumulative noise increase as
defined by the Noise Element, at the closest sensitive receptor location, because of the low
project noise levels and distance. Therefore, the proposed Project's contribution would not
be cumulatively considerable. (EIR, p. 2.12-31).
M. POPULATION & HOUSING
It is expected that Project -related employment opportunities will be filled by current residents
and therefore will not significantly increase the local population or increase demand for
housing. Cumulative impacts would be less than significant. (EIR, p. 2.13-5).
N. PUBLIC SERVICES
Police Protection
Implementation of the proposed Project in conjunction with the other related projects in the
area would increase the demand for police services. Over time, increases in population in the
City have the potential to increase calls for police protection services. The project alone would
marginally increase both the permanent and tourist populations whose impacts would be
reduced by the incorporation of Mitigation Measures PS-1 through PS-4. The proposed
Project's contribution would not be cumulatively considerable.
Fire Protection
79
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Implementation of the proposed Project in conjunction with the other related projects in the
area would further increase the demand for fire protection services over time. The project ""
alone would marginally increase both the permanent and tourist populations; impacts would
be reduced by the incorporation of Mitigation Measures PS-1 and PS-2 and payment of Fire "'
Facilities Fees. The proposed Project's contribution would not be cumulatively considerable.
Schools
It is expected that land designated for residential development in Palm Desert will be
developed in the future, increasing the student population and impacts to public schools. The
proposed Project, in combination with related projects, is expected to result in a cumulative
increase in the demand for school services. As discussed above, as of 2018, the DSUSD is
over its capacity. The DSUSD has determined that approximately 4.49 additional elementary
schools, 1.96 middle schools, and 1.24 high schools will need to be constructed in order to
provide adequate facilities to house students in the future. The estimated costs of these
school facilities, excluding interim housing requirements, is over $450 million dollars.32
Payment of school impact fees will help the DSUSD expand its facilities as needed. The
proposed Project will generate only a minimal student population, if any, and its contribution
to school impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Parks and Other Public Facilities
The proposed Project in combination with the related projects would be expected to increase
residents' demands upon parks, recreational, and other public facilities in the project area. ...
Although the proposed Project would contribute to the cumulative demand for parks and
recreational services, its contribution would be minimal because it would provide ample onsite
recreational opportunities. The Project's cumulative impact would be less than significant.
(EIR, p. 2.14-15)
O. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
The geographic scope for the analysis of cumulative impacts on transportation systems
consists of 95 development projects that are either approved or currently being processed in
the Project area, including Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, and portions of
unincorporated Riverside County. A list and map of the projects are provided in the TIA (see
Appendix H of the EIR, Table 4-3 and Exhibit 4-5).
Two cumulative impact scenarios were analyzed -- one for typical operation, and one for
special events — and both scenarios included Project -generated traffic in addition to existing
conditions, background traffic from ambient growth, and background traffic from cumulative
development projects. An ambient growth rate of 6.12% was used.

Drive. As shown in Table 2.15-16 of the EIR (p. 2.15-35), with installation of a traffic signal
(Mitigation Measure TRANSP-1), the intersection of Cook Street and Market Place Drive will
operate at an acceptable LOS. Payment of TUMF fees (TRANSP-20) will also reduce Project -
related cumulative impacts to less than significant levels.
1) EAPC (2022, Special Event) (Existing Conditions + Ambient Growth + Project +
Cumulative)
As shown in Tables 2.15-17 and -18 in the EIR (p. 2.15-36 and -37), EAPC-Special Event
conditions will result in unacceptable LOS at the intersection of Cook Street and Market Place
Drive. As shown in Table 2.15-19 of the EIR (p. 2.15-37), with installation of a traffic signal
(Mitigation Measure TRANSP-1), the intersection of Cook Street and Market Place Drive will
operate at an acceptable LOS. Payment of TUMF fees (TRANSP-20) will also reduce Project -
related cumulative impacts to less than significant levels.
In summary, with implementation of Mitigation Measures TRANSP-1 through TRANSP-20,
Project -related cumulative impacts during typical operation and special events will be less
than significant.
P. UTILITIES & SERVICE SYSTEMS
The scope for the analysis of cumulative impacts on utilities and service systems is adherence
to the City's General Plan build out assumptions for 2035.
CVWD maintains and operates water and wastewater services in the Project vicinity. CVWD
has identified adequate capacity to serve the Project along with current and future projects.
The proposed Project will result in an increase of less than 1 percent of CVWD total water
demand. Construction and operation of the Proposed Project would not require the
construction or expansion of stormwater or wastewater facilities because their impacts on
these facilities will be minimal and sufficient capacity exists. When considered in conjunction
with other projects in the City's General Plan boundaries, the proposed Project will have a
marginal and fractional impact on services. Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative
impacts related to these services would not be cumulatively considerable.
SCE and SoCal Gas have adequate policies, programs, and projects in place to provide
energy to their users, including the proposed Project, for the foreseeable future. As discussed
above, the Project would only increase the City's overall electricity demand by an estimated
2.87 percent and natural gas demand by 0.002 percent. Therefore, the Proposed Project's
incremental demand for energy would not be cumulatively considerable.
Regarding solid waste, implementation of State and municipal requirements to reuse and
recycle construction and operation waste would lessen the amount of solid waste generated
by the Project. When considered in conjunction with other development projects in the Valley,
the solid waste generated by the proposed Project will result in a fractional increase in waste
to landfills. Cumulative impacts would be less than significant.
81
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Overall, implementation of the proposed Project would not result in cumulatively considerable
impacts related to utilities and service systems; and cumulative impacts would be less than one
significant. (EIR, p. 2.16-16 and -17).

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 8: FINDINGS REGARDING SIGNIFICANT IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CHANGES
Sections 15126.2(b) and (c) of the State CEQA Guidelines require discussion of significant
environmental effects which cannot be avoided if the Project is implemented and significant
irreversible environmental changes which would be caused by DSRT SURF should it be
implemented, respectively. Where there are significant impacts that cannot be alleviated
without imposing an alternate design, their implications and the reasons why the project is
being proposed, notwithstanding the effect, should be described. Irretrievable commitments
of resources may include large commitments of nonrenewable resources, commitment of
future generations to similar uses, and irreversible damage resulting from environmental
accidents. Irretrievable commitments of resources should, therefore, be evaluated to assure
that such current consumption is justified.
The development of the Project will result in the irretrievable and irreversible commitment of
non-renewable natural resources, including energy resources such as petroleum and natural
gas, water resources, and mineral resources used for construction materials, such as
concrete and steel.
Construction of the proposed Project will result in the permanent loss of fossil fuels through
the consumption of coal, petroleum or natural gas for the manufacture of steel, Portland
Cement and concrete, and to fuel construction and maintenance vehicles. As detailed in
Section 2.6, the construction of proposed Project could result in electricity demand associated
with power tools and security lighting, but will not be the primary source of power during the
construction of components of the proposed Project. The use of diesel fuel and gasoline for
operation of equipment and for worker vehicle trips will be the primary source of energy during
construction. Because construction equipment and workers are expected to come from local
sources, it is expected that the use of fuel is already occurring for other projects and worker
trips in the Coachella Valley, and this use will therefore not be excessive or wasteful.
On -going operation of the proposed Project will generate demand for approximately
21,711,725 kWh of electricity annually. This demand will be reduced by approximately 1.7
million kWh at the surf center and lagoon via the construction of solar panels. This reduction
is known for the surf center because it is included in the Precise Plan application for the
Project. Plans for the hotels and villas have not yet been submitted, and their use of solar
panels or other technology is not known. Future development would be required to meet even
more stringent requirements, than the current CalGreen building code, including the
objectives set in the AB 32 Scoping Plan (GARB 2017), which would seek to make all newly
constructed residential homes zero net energy (ZNE) consumers by 202033, and all new
commercial buildings zero net energy (ZNE) consumers by 2030.34 Electricity demand
generated by the proposed Project would increase electricity consumption by 2.9% over
current City-wide demand.
Natural gas will be used during operation of the proposed Project. It is estimated that at build
out, natural gas consumption is expected to total 331,811 therms per year, and to increase

City-wide use of natural gas by 1.9%. As is the case with electricity, adherence to existing
and future building codes will assure the efficient use of natural gas, and continued ""
improvements in technology, particularly related to appliances and HVAC equipment, will
reduce long term demand. "We
During operation, the Project would result in the consumption of petroleum -based fuels
related to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. According to the Project -specific traffic
analysis, the Project is estimated to generate 5,496 daily vehicle trips under typical daily
operations, and 7,288 daily vehicle trips during a special event. Daily visitors will include a
mix of local residents and out of town visitors. The Project could potentially generate
12,213,217 VMTs. This represents a 2.4% increase in City-wide VMTs. Although the Project
will result in a direct increase in VMTs, the Project will not interfere with increased fuel
efficiency standards and will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
transportation energy resources during operation.
The construction of the proposed Project will change the physical environment of the Project
site. As discussed in Section 2.4 of the EIR, the proposed Project will not result in significant
loss of biological resources. The site is surrounded by development, and has previously been
graded and irrigated. Further, approximately 2 acres of the site is currently developed as a
parking lot. No special status species were identified on the Project site. The Project will be
required to pay mitigation fees to assure the off -site conservation of habitat lands for sensitive
species covered by the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
Therefore, although the proposed Project will result in the permanent loss of approximately
15 acres of vacant land, that loss will not be significant. am
As discussed in Section 2.10 of the EIR, construction of the proposed Project will generate ads
demand for water resources. The total Project water demand is projected to be 162.1 AFY,
of which 10.87 AFY will be accommodated through the use of recycled water for landscaping
irrigation. In addition, the Water Supply Assessment for the proposed Project includes a
requirement for the implementation of a turf reduction program on the adjacent Desert Willow
golf course. This turf reduction program will result in a reduction of 106.74 AFY in water use
on the golf course, and a net water demand for the Project as a whole of 44.49 AFY. Given
the size and scope of the Project, the net annual demand for domestic water will be low, and
impacts to the region's water supply will be less than significant.
In summary, although the proposed Project will result in the irreversible loss of finite
resources, the loss will not be significant, and is consistent with or less than that expected for
a project of similar scope consistent with the City's General Plan. (EIR, p. 5.1 through 5.3)

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 9: FINDINGS REGARDING GROWTH -INDUCING IMPACTS
CEQA specifies that growth -inducing impacts of a project must be addressed in an EIR (PRC
§ 21100[b][51). Specifically, Section 15126.2(d) of the CEQA Guidelines requires an EIR to
discuss the ways the DSRT SURF Project could foster economic or population growth or the
construction of additional housing, directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment.
Growth -inducing impacts include the removal of obstacles to population growth (e.g., the
expansion of a wastewater treatment plant allowing more development in a service area) and
the development and construction of new service facilities that could significantly affect the
environment individually or cumulatively. In addition, growth must not be assumed as
beneficial, detrimental, or of little significance to the environment.
Construction of the proposed Project is projected to occur over a two year period. Given the
scope of the project, construction personnel are available in the region who are qualified in
the trades required to build low rise buildings, concrete structures such as the lagoon, and
landscaping for a resort project. The Project does, however, have the potential to attract
workers and crew members to the area for a temporary construction opportunity. Because of
the availability of local workers, and the relatively short-term opportunity created by the
Project, it is not anticipated that the proposed Project would result in an increase in permanent
population in the City beyond anticipated growth over time. Operation of the various
components of the Project will result in new jobs in the service, retail and management
sectors, which are likely to be filled by a combination of existing and new residents. Population
growth in 2018 in the City was 1.4%, or about 700 people. The Southern California
Association of Governments predicts that by 2040, the City's population will increase to
61,700, an increase of 8,900 people. The natural growth in population experienced in the City
will result in a demand for jobs, a portion of which will be supplied by the proposed Project.
Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to induce population growth.
The proposed Project occurs on a site which has long been planned for resort development.
As part of the original North Sphere Specific Plan, the City envisioned a master planned
community centered around the Desert Willow golf course. In order to facilitate the vision, the
City planned for and installed master infrastructure to serve the build out of the site, not just
the golf course and clubhouse. As a result, all infrastructure is in place adjacent to the Project
site, and no additional or larger infrastructure is required to implement the Project, and
projects on adjacent remaining sites.
In conclusion, the Project will not result in growth inducing impacts that could cumulatively
impact the environment. No new infrastructure, services or utilities, will be required for the
proposed Project, and its impacts on the local population will be less than significant. (EIR, p.
6.1)

SECTION 10: FINDINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES
om
A. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
%Ww
As required by CEQA, project objectives have been developed to describe the project. These
are set forth below.
• Continue the mission of the Desert Willow Golf resort by providing a world -class
recreational opportunity unique to the Coachella Valley.
• Expand the City's tourism economy and expand transient occupancy tax revenues.
• Implement water conservation and recycling measures to minimize the impacts to
water supply from lagoon and golf course water use.
• Energy efficient resort development to meet the City's sustainability goals.
B. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS
Based upon the Final Project EIR and the CEQA Findings of Fact contained herein, as well
as the evidentiary materials supporting these documents, the City Council finds that
implementing the Proposed Project could result in the following list of significant and
unavoidable impacts to the environment:
Air Quality
Operational emissions are those released over the long-term life of the proposed Project. sm
They include emissions generated by area, energy, and mobile sources. Area sources include
consumable products, such as building maintenance and cleaning supplies, kitchen and .r
restroom supplies, pavement off -gassing, and periodic reapplication of architectural coatings.
Energy sources include the direct and indirect use of fossil fuels for energy, including natural
gas and electricity use in buildings, parking lot lighting, ventilation equipment, and elevators.
Mobile emissions are generated by motor vehicle trips.
The air quality analysis quantified air emissions for the life of the project for two scenarios:
daily operations, and special event operations. Assumptions included daily trips totaling 5,496
weekday daily trips during typical operations, and 7,288 weekend daily trips during special
events, an average trip length is 25 miles, and full operation of all the potential components
of the Project, including the surf center and lagoon, hotel(s) and villas. Maximum build out as
allowed in the Specific Plan was assumed for all land uses, to provide the most conservative
analysis.
As shown in Section 2.3, Table 2.3-7, Project -generated operational emissions will not
exceed SCAQMD thresholds for CO, ROG, SOX, PM1o, or PM2.5 during typical operations or
special events. However, Project -generated NOx emissions will exceed SCAQMD thresholds
during both types of operations. Emissions projections represent worst -case conditions, and
actual emissions may be lower than projected.
Projected NOx exceedances are largely associated with the number of vehicle trips expected
to be generated at Project buildout. Feasible mitigation measures have been provided in
Section 2.3.7, including but not limited to delivery vehicle idling time limitations, employee
86
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
commute reduction programs for large employers, and use of Energy Star appliances.
However, although these mitigation measures may provide reductions in emissions, they will
not reduce NO. emissions to levels below SCAQMD thresholds. Impacts associated with
operational air emissions will remain significant and unavoidable.
Cumulative Contribution: Non -Attainment Criteria Pollutants
The Coachella Valley portion of the SSAB is classified as a "non -attainment" area for PMto
and ozone. CO, NO,,, and ROG are precursors to ozone, for which the Coachella Valley is in
non -attainment. The Project will contribute to increased regional NO. emissions. Motor
vehicle trips are the primary source of NOx emissions during operation and cannot be
mitigated through traditional means. Even with the implementation of mitigation measures,
cumulative impacts associated with operations of the proposed Project at build out will remain
significant and unavoidable.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
All components of construction, including equipment, fuels, materials, and management
practices, would be subject to current SCAQMD rules and regulations related to greenhouse
gases. Applicable SCAQMD rules include, but are not limited to, source -specific standards
that reduce the greenhouse gas content in engines and limit equipment idling durations. The
Project will also adhere to the required state Low Carbon Fuel Standard for construction
equipment and heavy-duty vehicle efficiency standards.
Operational emissions will occur throughout the life of the Project. At buildout, five emission
source categories will contribute either directly or indirectly to operational GHG emissions:
energy/electricity usage, water usage, solid waste disposal, area emissions (pavement and
architectural coating off -gassing), and mobile sources. The bulk of operational emissions are
largely due to the number of vehicle trips generated by the Project. As shown in Table 2.8-2,
one special event (33.34 MTCO2e/yr) will increase overall GHG emissions by a marginal 0.19
percent.
It was recommended by SCAQMD staff that a project's greenhouse gas emissions would be
considered significant if it could not comply with at least one of the "tiered" tests based upon
an October 2008 staff report and draft interim guidance document35, as described in Section
2.8.6 of the EIR (p. 2.8-9).
Construction -related GHG emissions will not exceed GHG thresholds for construction
because no such thresholds have been established. However, the Project would not comply
with any of the tiered tests for overall operational (annual) emissions, and will therefore have
Significant and Unavoidable Impacts associated with GHG emissions.
Because the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts, it can be argued that
operational impacts would conflict with GHG reduction goals because operation of the Project
would either exceed or not comply with SCAQMD's interim tiered thresholds. By exceeding
such thresholds, the Project is contributing to GHG emissions at a level that is not conducive
to reducing state and local GHG emissions. Although implementation of Mitigation Measure
GHG-1 will assure the Project complies with the Palm Desert Environmental Sustainability
35 Draft Guidance Document — Interim CEQA Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Significance Threshold,
prepared by SCAQMD, October 2008.
87
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
Plan, impacts are considered significant and unavoidable."
C. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED
Two Project alternatives were identified and considered but not analyzed in detail. The
reasons why these alternatives are not considered further are described below:
Alternative Site
The applicant considered other available sites within the Desert Willow Golf Course, prior to
entering into negotiations with the City for the proposed Project site. Two vacant parcels
located east of Desert Willow Drive were evaluated. The parcel furthest to the southeast, and
adjacent to the existing commercial shopping center, was not of adequate size to
accommodate the Project components, and was rejected for that reason. The site closest to
the proposed Project was of a similar size, but was rejected because the access to the site is
restricted and its expansion would require reconstruction of existing golf course holes. In
addition, the site's proximity to existing single family residential development to the northeast
would have resulted in greater impacts to these residents, particularly as related to noise,
traffic and air quality.
All -Retail Alternative
An alternative that would have resulted in an all -retail specialty shopping center was
considered and rejected. This alternative would have resulted in up to 250,000 square feet of
mixed retail development, including restaurants and shopping opportunities. This alternative,
however, would not meet the Project's objectives for world -class recreational facilities and
transient occupancy tax generation, considered key in the development of Desert Willow pad
sites when the City conceived of the project. These goals have been critical in leading the
City's efforts toward development of the remaining pad sites for the long term economic
viability of the Desert Willow project area. In addition, the intensity of development would
result in greater impacts associated with traffic and air quality.
D. ALTERNATIVES SELECTED FOR ANALYSIS IN THE EIR
Three alternatives were selected for consideration, based on the potential of each alternative
to reduce the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Project, and the ability to
meet the stated project objectives. Each alternative is summarized below.
Alternative A— No Project— Northern Sphere Specific Plan
Alternative A, the No Project Alternative, assumes the site will build out according to land use
designations and development standards of the North Sphere Specific Plan (NSSP), which
is the current Specific Plan regulating development within the Project area. The Project site
is located in Planning Area 10 (PA 10) of the NSSP. According to the Section 4 North Sphere
EIR, PA 10 was planned for a "Luxury Hotel" with a maximum of 500 rooms. Buildout of
Alternative A would result in the development of a 5-story hotel with a maximum of 500 rooms
totaling 665,000 square feet (including 100,000 square feet of meeting/hall space), as well as
300,000 square feet of landscaping/pool/recreation facilities, and 660 parking spaces.

The majority of the site (15 AC) is classified as Planning Area 10 (PA 10) within the NSSP.
See Table 4.1 Statistical Summary Table, Section 4 North Sphere EIR.
Alternative B — Mixed Use Alternative
Alternative B, the Mixed Use Alternative, assumes the entire Project site will be developed
according to existing General Plan land use designations and standards. The site is currently
designated as Resort and Entertainment on the City's General Plan Land Use Map, which
allows bed and breakfast inns, recreational facilities, small retail, large retail, and lodging,
support retail and commercial services along with specialized entertainment with a
commercial floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.10, and multi -family residential land uses of up
to 10 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). For analysis purposes, it is assumed site standards are
applied to the entire site acreage (as opposed to dividing the acreage in half) for both
commercial and residential land uses. At buildout, Alternative B would include approximately
77,100 square feet of commercial development, 177 dwelling units, and 817 parking spaces.
This alternative would reduce significant air quality and greenhouse gas impacts because of
reduced vehicle trips.

Alternative C, the Residential Alternative, assumes the entire site will build out as a residential
development, allowing the maximum residential density under the existing Planned
Residential District (PR-5) zoning standards. The purpose of this district is to provide for
flexibility in residential development by encouraging creative and imaginative design, and the
development of parcels of land as coordinated projects involving a mixture of residential
densities (4.0 — 40.0 du/ac), mixed housing types, and community facilities. City staff has
indicated that it will not allow multi -family, apartment style development on the Project site
due to its location within the Desert Willow property. Therefore, the maximum density in the
PR-5 zone allowed for the Project site is 5 dwelling units per acre. At buildout, Alternative C
would include approximately 89 dwelling units and 178 parking spaces. This alternative would
reduce significant air quality and greenhouse gas impacts because of reduced vehicle trips. am

The table below summarizes whether the proposed Project or any of the Project Alternatives
meet project objectives.
Alternative C, which would result in 89 single family homes, meets none of the project
objectives because it does not result in a resort development which would bring recreational
opportunities and long-term revenues associated with transient occupancy tax. The City
Council hereby rejects Alternative C on the following grounds: omm
r.w
90
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
(1) the alternative fails to meet any of the project objectives because it would not provide a
resort or recreational amenity consistent with the goals of the North Sphere Specific Plan or
the Desert Willow Golf Resort.
(2) the alternative is technically infeasible because it would not provide the City with long term
revenues.
Alternative B, the mixed -use alternative, also does not meet Project objectives, insofar as it
would not consist of a resort development, and would not expand tourism opportunities in the
City. The City Council hereby rejects Alternative B on the following grounds:
(1) the alternative fails to meet most of the project objectives, insofar as it would not provide
a resort project consistent with the goals of the North Sphere Specific Plan and Desert Willow
Golf Resort.
(2) the alternative is technically infeasible because it would not provide the City with long term
revenues.
Alternative A, which would implement the North Sphere Specific Plan and result in a 500-
room hotel, could meet most of the Project objectives, because it is consistent with the resort
atmosphere planned for the Desert Willow project area. It would not, however, include the
recreational feature of a surf lagoon, or enable the water conservation created by the turf
reduction project included in the proposed Project. Alternative A would, however, reduce the
air quality impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed Project, but would not
reduce greenhouse gas emissions to less than significant levels. The City Council hereby
rejects Alternative A on the following grounds:
(1) the alternative fails to substantially reduce or eliminate the project's significant and
unavoidable greenhouse gas emission impacts.

Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines indicates that an analysis of alternatives
to a proposed Project shall identify an environmentally superior alternative among the am
alternatives evaluated in an EIR.
Each sub -section of the alternatives analysis in the EIR considered the potential impacts of
each alternative, and compared them to the proposed Project on a categorical basis. The

As can be seen in the table, the level of significance associated with the alternatives is
consistent with the proposed Project's impacts, with the exception of Air Quality and
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Under the proposed Project, vehicular emissions of NOx and
CO2E would be significant and unavoidable, due to the higher number of trips generated by
the hotels, villas and surf center. Under all alternatives, air quality impacts would not exceed
SCAQMD thresholds, and impacts would be less than significant. Alternatives B and C would
result in less than significant greenhouse gas emissions; however, Alternative A, similar to
the proposed Project, would also result in significant and unavoidable impacts.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
SECTION 11: ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
In compliance with Section 15093 (a)(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City of Palm
Desert, as Lead Agency, must "balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, % o
technological or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental
risks when determining whether to approve the project." The adverse environmental effects
may be considered "acceptable" where the benefits of a project outweigh its unavoidable
adverse environmental effects. When the Final EIR identifies significant effects that are not
avoided or substantially lessened, the Lead Agency must state the specific reasons to support
approval
The City Council, having considered the entire administrative record on the DSRT SURF
Project, and having weighed the benefits of the Proposed Project against the unavoidable
adverse impacts to air quality and greenhouse gas emissions after mitigation, has determined
that each and every one of the following social, economic and environmental benefits of the
Proposed Project individually outweigh all of the potential significant and unavoidable adverse
impacts and render those potential adverse environmental impacts acceptable based upon
the following overriding considerations:
The Proposed Project proposes a high quality development which will complement
and enhance the existing development within the Desert Willow Golf Resort, as the
Proposed Project involves reutilizing parking lot areas and developing land that was
previously graded as part of the Desert Willow golf course but never developed.
2. The Proposed Project will bring a recreational technology to the City that is the first of 0M
its kind in the United States, providing a unique venue to broaden the City's tourism
market and bring people, including surfers, to the City who would not have considered
the Coachella Valley for tourism. This will include an increase in room nights and
associated revenues to existing hotels in the City and region.
3. The Proposed Project will bring a year-round surf venue to the desert, helping to
stabilize the tourism economy in the shoulder and summer seasons, because the use
of the surf lagoon will be a year-round activity not subject to the heat of summer which
currently keeps tourists away from the City.
4. The Proposed Project will expand the City's recreational resources and provide a
unique recreational opportunity to all City residents and visitors.
5. Implementation of the Proposed Project will continue to enhance the Desert Willow
Golf Resort and provide additional revenues, in the form of sales tax, transient
occupancy tax and property tax, which will ensure the economic stability of the City.
6. The Proposed Project will stimulate the City's economy by bringing additional tourism
into Palm Desert, as visitors would travel to utilize the surf lagoon and surf center
facilities including the restaurant, bar, and retail uses, as well as attend special events.
Additionally, tourism would increase as visitors utilize the hotel and villas. Increased
tourism would bring in revenue for commercial areas in the vicinity of the Project, such
as dining and shopping activities.
...+
94
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
7. Implementation of the Proposed Project will result in an energy efficient resort
development designed to meet the City's sustainability goals, as the Proposed Project
involves the conversion of existing turfed landscaping surrounding both golf courses
to desert landscaping, resulting in a reduction of 106 acre feet of water use per year
in perpetuity. Additionally, the Proposed Project involves the installation of solar
panels which would offset the Project's electrical demand.
S. Construction of the Proposed Project will generate temporary employment
opportunities over an estimated two year period until construction is complete. Once
constructed, the surf center and lagoon will generate more than 300 permanent new
jobs, including management mechanical and technical, retail, restaurant service jobs,
recreational instructors and emergency personnel. The hotel and villas would also
generate a variety of new jobs, including management, retail and hotel service jobs.
Thus, the Proposed Project supports the City's General Plan policy regarding a jobs -
housing balance and will provide jobs to current and future residents, thereby allowing
residents to work within the City, rather than traveling to distant jobs outside the City.
The City Council hereby declares that each and every one of the foregoing individual benefits
provided through approval and implementation of the DSRT SURF Project outweigh all of the
identified significant environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated. The City Council finds
that each of the benefits, separately and individually, outweighs the unavoidable adverse
environmental effects identified in the EIR and therefore finds those impacts to be acceptable.
SECTION 12: ADOPTION OF THE MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING
PROGRAM
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires that a Mitigation, Monitoring, and
Reporting Program be adopted upon certification of an EIR to ensure that the mitigation
measures are implemented. The Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program specifies
what the mitigation is, the entity responsible for monitoring the program, and when in the
process it should be accomplished.
The City Council hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
attached to this Resolution as Exhibit "A." Implementation of the Mitigation Measures
contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is hereby made a condition of
approval of the Project. In the event of any inconsistencies between the Mitigation Measures
set forth herein and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program shall control.
SECTION 13: CERTIFICATION OF THE EIR
The City Council finds that it has been presented with the EIR, which it has reviewed
and considered, and further finds that the EIR is an accurate and objective statement that
has been completed in full compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the City's
Local CEQA Guidelines and that the EIR reflects the independent judgment and analysis of
the City Council.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-83
The City Council declares that no evidence of new significant impacts as defined by
the State CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5 have been received by the City Council after
circulation of the Draft EIR which would require recirculation.
Therefore, the City Council hereby certifies the EIR based on the entirety of the record
of proceedings.
SECTION 14: CUSTODIAN OF RECORD
The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which this
Resolution has been based are located at Palm Desert City Hall, 73510 Fred Waring Dr, Palm
