10 ITEM 6B Coachella Valley Conservation Commission April 14, 2011 Staff Report Subject: Contact: Resolution : Acquire Two Parcels totaling acres Bill Havert, Acquisitions Manager, Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution authorizing acquisition of the subject parcels for the purchase price of $1 million, plus closing costs not to exceed $1,800 and authorizing the Executive Director to enter into such agreements as are necessary to obtain the funding sources for the acquisition. BACKGROUND: The subject parcels, APNs and (Gabison-Etziony), total approximately 70.0 acres in the unincorporated area of the Thousand Palms Conservation Area. The parcels are in a fluvial sand transport process area essential for the long-term viability of the Coachella Valley Preserve area. Map 1 showing the location of the parcels to be acquired is attached. The purchase price is $1,000,000, plus closing costs which should not exceed $1,800. The final statement of costs will be approved by the Acquisitions Manager (AM) before the request for CVCC funds to be deposited in escrow is made. No acquisition funds will be required from CVCC; however, CVCC would provide funds for closing costs. Part of the funding for the purchase price is $300,000 from an Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (EEMP) grant received by CVCC. The EEMP grant funds will provide the required match for $700,000 from the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) from either the federal Section 6 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund or State bond funds granted to CVCC. It is anticipated that WCB will consider the Subgrant of Section 6 funds or a Grant of State Bond Funds at its May 2011 meeting and contingency (a) below would then be removed. The offer is contingent upon the following: (a) Approval of specific project allocations of the federal Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund or state bond funds by the Wildlife Conservation Board at its May 2011 meeting. (b) Seller s ability to provide to Buyer an owner's policy of title insurance, in the amount of the total purchase price, evidencing Seller can convey good and marketable, fee simple title, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other exceptions, except such liens, encumbrances and exceptions as may be accepted in writing by Buyer, together with unrestricted access. (c) A site inspection conducted by or on behalf of Buyer demonstrating that there are no hazardous materials or hazardous conditions on the property. (d) All debris and personal property shall be removed by close of escrow.

11 If CVCC approves the purchase today, CVMC staff will obtain a Preliminary Title Report from the title company to determine if contingency (b) can be removed by close of escrow. CVMC staff will also inspect the property to determine if contingencies (c) and (d) can be removed. FISCAL ANALYSIS: A total cost of $1,000,000 for the purchase price and an additional amount not expected to exceed $1,800 for closing costs. CVCC is responsible only for the closing costs, the funds for which would come from the land acquisition fund.

15 ITEM 6C Coachella Valley Conservation Commission April 14, 2011 Staff Report Subject: Contact: Resolution : Accept a portion of a parcel totaling 3 acres Bill Havert, Acquisitions Manager, Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy (cvmcbill@verizon.net) RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution authorizing acceptance of approximately 3.0 acres of APN and authorizing the Executive Director to enter into such agreements as are necessary to complete the transaction. BACKGROUND: The subject parcel, APN , is approximately 5.0 acres and is located in the unincorporated area of the Thousand Palms Conservation Area along Vista Chino Avenue. It has a Light Industrial land use designation. The owners of the property wish to use approximately 2.0 acres of the property for a storage yard, and they have agreed to dedicate approximately 3.0 acres to CVCC as mitigation. The dedication of these 3 acres is a condition of approval by Riverside County; it is related to a code compliance action which required mitigation. The property is within the vital fluvial sand transport process area in Sections 7 and 8, essential for the long-term viability of the original sand dune habitat in the Coachella Valley Preserve area. The attached map shows the location of the parcel and the area to be dedicated. The property owner will be responsible for all transaction costs. No acquisition funds will be required from CVCC. Acceptance of the dedication is contingent upon the following: (a) Grantor s ability to provide an owner's policy of title insurance, in the amount of the total purchase price, evidencing that Grantor can convey good and marketable, fee simple title, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other exceptions, except such liens, encumbrances and exceptions as may be accepted in writing by CVCC, together with unrestricted access. (b) A site inspection conducted by or on behalf of CVCC demonstrating that there are no hazardous materials or hazardous conditions on the property. (c) All debris and personal property shall be removed by close of escrow. If CVCC approves acceptance of the dedication today, CVMC staff will obtain a Preliminary Title Report from the title company to determine if contingency (a) can be removed by close of escrow. CVMC or CVCC staff will also inspect the property to determine if contingencies (b) and (c) can be removed. FISCAL ANALYSIS: There is no purchase price as this is a dedication of land. The property owner will be responsible for all closing costs as the dedication is a condition of approval for the development.

20 Item 6D Coachella Valley Conservation Commission April 14, 2011 Staff Report Subject: Contact: Resolution : Support of Cooperative Endangered Species Fund and Land & Water Conservation Fund and Support for HCP Loan Program Katie Barrows, Director of Environmental Resources RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution in Support of Cooperative Endangered Species Fund and Land & Water Conservation Fund and authorize Chair or Executive Director to send support letters or communicate support. Authorize support letter for Infrastructure Facilitation and Habitat Conservation Act of BACKGROUND: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service s Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) is a major source of federal funding for land acquisitions to implement the CVMSHCP. The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has funded millions in CESCF grants that have acquired more than 1,500 acres of CVMSHCP land. Two new CESCF grants for $7.5 million are pending, but would require a new appropriation from LWCF to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers this program. The attached Resolution expresses support for continued LWCF and CESCF funding; if approved, the resolution will be sent to local Congressional representatives. Implementation of the CVMSHCP depends on acquisition of conservation lands through cooperative partnerships with state and federal agencies. BLM and USFS have received more than $8.4 million in LWCF appropriations since 2000, with which more than 11,100 acres have been acquired in the National Monument, protecting the extraordinary view of the mountains, providing the land for a new trailhead in Palm Springs, protecting the viewshed along State Scenic Highway 74, and conserving much of the last undisturbed alluvial fans in the Coachella Valley. In addition, LWCF appropriations of over $2.5 million funded the purchase of more than 1,250 acres in the CVFTL Area of Critical Environmental Concern on the valley floor. Recently, House Resolution 1 reduced LWCF funding from $85 million nationwide to $2 million, and it appears that severe cuts for LWCF are a strong possibility. LWCF was created by Congress in 1965 as a bipartisan commitment to use revenues from offshore oil and gas leases to safeguard natural areas and provide recreation opportunities. Every year, $900 million paid by energy companies drilling for oil and gas are put into this fund, and can be used only to create and protect national parks and monuments, Wilderness areas, national forests, and national wildlife refuges from development. In the FY 2011 budget, there is $500,000 for BLM for acquisitions in our National Monument, and $1,200,000 for acquisitions in the Morongo Canyon Area of Critical Environmental Concern. For FY 2012, there is $1,200,000 for the National Monument. In the years ahead, the land acquisition grants available through LWCF and CESCF will be an essential component for meeting the conservation and permit streamlining benefits of the CVMSHCP and other MSHCPs. Despite the recent economic downturn, costs to fully implement MSHCP reserve systems remain high. The Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority has requested a CVCC support letter for the Infrastructure Facilitation and Habitat Conservation Act of 2011 described in the attached summary. While CVCC may never choose to use this program, a support letter is recommended to allow for the opportunity. FISCAL ANALYSIS: Information only.

21 Resolution No: A RESOLUTION OF THE COACHELLA VALLEY CONSERVATION COMMISSION SUPPORTING THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND AND THE COOPERATIVE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND WHEREAS, the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission ( Commission ) is a public agency of the State of California formed by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement ("JPA ); and WHEREAS, the Commission implements the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan ( Plan ); and WHEREAS, the primary means of conservation under the Plan is acquisition of land from willing sellers; and WHEREAS, on behalf of the Permittees, the Commission is responsible for the acquisition of approximately 90,000 acres as its full mitigation requirement, and WHEREAS, the state and federal governments have also committed to acquire land to enhance the value of the Plan and ensure establishment of a more robust conservation system for the benefit of state and federal threatened, endangered, and rare species; and WHEREAS, one of the primary means for the federal government to ensure fulfillment of its contribution is Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) appropriations to the Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Forest Service for the acquisition of private inholdings within the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, various Wilderness Areas, and various Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; and WHEREAS, the other primary means for the federal government to ensure fulfillment of its contribution is Section 6 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund grants to the California Department of Fish and Game for acquisitions to assist with implementation of the Plan and for recovery land acquisitions to benefit the Peninsular bighorn sheep; and WHEREAS, the LWCF is not funded from general tax revenues but rather through a portion of the revenues from federal offshore drilling fees set aside from protecting important land, water and recreation areas for all Americans; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Commission strongly urges Congress to maintain funding for LWCF and CESCF in the FY 2011 budget and in the FY 2012 budget; and FURTHER, the Commission hereby authorizes the Chair and/or the Executive Director to communicate this support to members of Congress and the Administration as appropriate. The foregoing Resolution was passed by the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission this 14th day of April, APPROVED: Richard W. Kite Chair Tom Kirk Executive Director

22 Proposed Conservation Loan and Loan Guarantee Program Infrastructure Facilitation and Habitat Conservation Act of 2011 Problem. Rapidly-growing sunbelt communities have responded to imperatives of the Endangered Species Act and acted aggressively to protect threatened habitat through formation of multiple species habitat conservation plans (MSHCPs). MSHCPs are proving to save species and accelerate the placement of much-needed public infrastructure. Most MSHCPs raise land acquisition funds via developer contributions and fees, sales and transfer taxes, and special district assessments. Unfortunately, these revenue sources have dried up due to the housing market crash. As a result of this counter-cyclical funding mechanism, the local and regional governments that administer these MSHCPs are unable to buy land to build their habitat preserves even while unimproved land prices drop. Solution. To maintain momentum for completion of mature MSHCPs and to assure continued integration of infrastructure and habitat objectives, local and regional governments need access to low-interest, long-term federal loans and/or loan guarantees that provide ready cash for land acquisition. Funds for debt service would be derived from the same combination of sources that have so far supported local land acquisition. A RAND Study recently concluded that transportation project delivery is enhanced through reliance on the MSHCP to meet mitigation requirements. Legislation. There is ample precedent for federal support in the form of loans to states and communities that require assistance in meeting environmental goals. Two examples are EPA s Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Contributions of federal capital to these funds, at the rate of approximately $5 billion annually, have enabled states to make 22,700 loans to local governments and other entities at an average interest rate of 2.2%, for a total of $68 billion in loan commitments. The Department of the Treasury would administer a Conservation Loan and Loan Guarantee Program with input from the Secretary of the Interior. Habitat conservation loans would be made available to public entities which meet specified habitat-related criteria, such as: Fully authorized and approved MSHCP in rapidly-growing region with substantial progress toward acquisition goals; Demonstrable local level of effort and capacity to repay; Appropriate accompanying plan for regional infrastructure development, with provisions for mitigation of environmental impacts. The maximum amount of loans or loan guarantees would be $1 billion per year in fiscal years 2011 through Program proponents structured the bill with a firm understanding of current federal budget constraints. Because the bill outlines strict eligibility requirements for loans, the default rate would be minimal, meaning that nearly all federal dollars spent on the program would be repaid.

23 CVCC Letterhead April 14, 2011 The Honorable Dianne Feinstein United States Senate 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC RE: Infrastructure Facilitation and Habitat Conservation Act of 2011 Dear Senator Feinstein: We applaud your efforts to encourage formation and completion of Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and development of public infrastructure through your Infrastructure Facilitation and Habitat Conservation Act of We strongly support this legislation and stand ready to help you move the bill forward. Responding to the imperatives of the Endangered Species Act, our region has acted aggressively to protect threatened habitat through formation of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. The plan is proving to save species and accelerate the development of much-needed public infrastructure. Most HCPs raise land acquisition funds via developer contributions and fees, sales and transfer taxes, and special district assessments. Unfortunately, these revenue sources have dried up due to the housing market crash. As a result of this counter-cyclical funding mechanism, the local and regional governments that administer HCPs are unable to buy land to build their habitat preserves even while unimproved land prices drop. The Coachella Valley MSHCP would benefit from the flexibility offered by a loan program that could be used to fund land acquisition. By authorizing federal loans and loan guarantees that can be used to support habitat acquisition, your bill would maintain momentum for HCPs and assure that they continue to be integrated with development of public infrastructure projects. We look forward to working with you to build support for the bill and to its eventual enactment. Sincerely, Richard W. Kite Chair

27 ITEM 7A Coachella Valley Conservation Commission April 14, 2011 Staff Report Subject: Contact: 2010 Annual Report Katie Barrows, RECOMMENDATION: Review and Accept the 2010 Annual Report on the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan and Provide for Public Input BACKGROUND: Each year, the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission is required to prepare an Annual Report to be submitted to the Wildlife Agencies and the Permittees. The Annual Report details the progress made toward the conservation goals and objectives of the CVMSHCP and provides a benchmark for evaluation of compliance with Plan requirements. The 2010 Annual Report provides an overview of the first full year of Plan implementation. The Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) calls for the Annual Report to be presented at a CVCC meeting, which will serve as a public workshop where the public will have an opportunity to comment and copies of the report will be made available to them. The land acquisition program made good progress in acquiring parcels for the CVMSHCP Reserve System from willing sellers. The land acquisition program has focused on acquiring biologically sensitive properties with the greatest threat from development. In 2010, the CVCC completed the acquisition of approximately 600 acres. This included acquisitions in the Whitewater Floodplain and Willow Hole Conservation Areas. The baseline year for measuring progress toward our conservation goals and objectives is Collectively, CVCC and our land acquisition partners have made significant progress in land conservation since then, as 66,354 acres have been conserved. No authorized disturbance occurred in the Conservation Areas in Since the CVMSHCP began in 1996, less than 70 acres of authorized disturbance have occurred. The Annual Report includes detailed tables on the amount of conservation and disturbance that occurred in However, this year these lengthy tables will be posted on the CVMSHCP website ( instead of printing them. The entire Annual Report will be posted on the website once it is accepted by the CVCC. Among the significant issues the CVCC addressed in 2010 was the implementation of the Local Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF). The Annual Report also summarizes the actions taken by CVCC during 2010 and details implementation issues. This includes the ongoing work with the City of Desert Hot Springs throughout 2010 on a major amendment to the CVMSHCP which would allow them to fully participate. The major amendment to include Desert Hot Springs and Mission Springs Water District is expected to conclude in Staff will provide a brief presentation at the April 14 meeting on the highlights of the Annual Report. FISCAL ANALYSIS: Information only.

28 ITEM 7B Coachella Valley Conservation Commission April 14, 2011 Staff Report Subject: Contact: CVMSHCP Major Amendment Status Update Katie Barrows, Director of Environmental Resources RECOMMENDATION: For Information Only BACKGROUND: The Notice of Availability to review and comment on the Notice of Preparation and Initial Study for the proposed Major Amendment to the Coachella Valley Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) was released on March 30, A copy of the Notice of Availability which briefly describes the action is attached for your review. This public notice was circulated to the Permittees, local media, public agencies and stakeholder groups. Also on March 30, a notice appeared in the Federal Register describing the Notice of Intent by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to proceed with the environmental analysis of the Major Amendment. The release of these documents commences a 30-day public review period from March 31, 2011 through April 29, A public Scoping Meeting was held on Monday, April 4, 2011 at 6 p.m. at the Carl May Community Center, in the City of Desert Hot Springs. The Scoping Meeting was attended by approximately 6 people from the general public; representatives of the city, including Mayor Parks, Council Members Baker, Pye, and Betts; representatives of Mission Springs Water District; and local media. The Scoping Meeting provided an opportunity for the public to learn about the project and to share any concerns or comments they may have. The public may also submit comments during the 30-day NOP review period: The Notice of Availability as well as the NOP and Initial Study are posted on the CVMSHCP ( and CVAG websites. The documents are also available for inspection at the CVAG office. CVCC is the lead agency responsible for submitting the Major Amendment application to CDFG and USFWS. CVCC is also the lead on the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) which will address the inclusion of the City and MSWD. Comments received by April 29, 2011 will be addressed in the preparation of the Supplemental EIR/EIS. The Draft Supplemental EIR/EIS will be brought to the CVCC before it is released. Release of the Draft EIR/EIS is expected in Summer 2011 for a 60-day public review and comment period. The completion of the Major Amendment, including approval by all current CVCC member agencies and revised permits from the Wildlife Agencies is expected in summer/fall FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Desert Hot Springs and Mission Springs Water District are covering the consultant costs for preparation of the Major Amendment and EIR/EIS. CVCC staff time needed for this process is included in the 2010/2011 budget; additional CVCC costs necessary to complete the process will be included in the 2011/2012 budget. EXHIBITS: 1. Notice of Availability

29 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC REVIEW NOTICE OF PREPARATION AND INITIAL STUDY Pursuant to of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, this is to notify all interested parties that the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) has submitted a Notice of Preparation/Initial Study Checklist to the State Clearinghouse of their intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the following project. The public review period to comment on the NOP/IS is from March 31, 2011 through April 29, PROJECT NAME AND DESCRIPTION: Major Amendment to the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) The proposed project is a Major Amendment to the CVMSHCP approved by all affected agencies in October The City of Desert Hot Springs was the only City in the Coachella Valley which opted out of becoming a Permittee of the Plan at that time. In a reversal of that decision, the City of Desert Hot Springs would now like to become a Permittee of the Plan. In order to do so, current Plan boundaries would be amended to include all of the private lands within the city limits of the City of Desert Hot Springs as well as the extension of Conservation Areas into the City. The Mission Springs Water District (MSWD), not previously a participating agency, has also opted to become a Permittee to the Plan. Major Amendments require the same process to be followed as the original MSHCP approval including CEQA/NEPA compliance. As such, although no significant impacts related to this Plan Amendment are anticipated, a joint Supplemental Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) will be prepared to address changes to the approved September 2007 Recirculated EIR/EIS which did not include Desert Hot Springs or MSWD. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is a responsible agency which will issue a revised Permit for the Take of Covered Species to include Desert Hot Springs and MSWD. Covered Species include both Listed and Non-listed Species that are adequately conserved by the Plan. The Permit provides for the Take of these species or loss of their Habitat, so long as compliance with the Plan requirements is achieved. The Supplemental EIR/EIS will focus only on changes to the Final Recirculated CVMSHCP and those environmental topics most likely to be affected by the Plan revisions. Through the Initial Study analysis, these topics have been determined to include biological resources, land use, traffic and circulation, and socioeconomic impacts. PROJECT LOCATION: The affected area includes the incorporated limits of the City of Desert Hot Springs (the City) and the entire boundary of the Mission Springs Water District (MSWD) which includes all of Desert Hot Springs and a portion of unincorporated Riverside County lands. These agency boundaries are located in the northwest portion of the Coachella Valley in the north central portion of Riverside County, California. 3. AVAILABILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS: A copy of the Notice of Preparation/Initial Study is available for review at the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) office, Fred Waring Drive Suite 200, Palm Desert CA 92260, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please call (760) for further information. Note: Comments should be limited those issues which may be affected by the Plan Amendment not the CVMSHCP in its entirety. 4. SCOPING MEETING The CVCC along with MSWD and the City of Desert Hot Springs will conduct a scoping meeting to provide the opportunity for the public to learn about the project and to share any concerns or comments they may have. The public may also submit comments during the 30-day NOP review period at the address shown above. The meeting will be held at the following location: Monday, April 4, 2011, 6 p.m., Carl May Community Center, City Desert Hot Springs, CA.
