16-Lot Subdivision (Tentative Tract Map 38971)

The 16-Lot Subdivision project, identified as Tentative Tract Map 38971, involves the subdivision of eight vacant parcels totaling 19.81 acres into sixteen residential lots located north of the intersection of Mirage Cove Drive and Peterson Road in Rancho Mirage, California. The project is organized into two distinct phases: Phase 1 involves subdividing three southern parcels into eight lots (Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16), while Phase 2 involves subdividing five northern parcels into eight lots (Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12). The site is currently zoned as Residential Estate (R-E). While most parcels will range from 1 to 1.55 acres, a Minor Variance is proposed to allow two parcels to measure 0.97 and 0.98 acres. This project is strictly for land subdivision and does not include any single-family residence architectural plans. The City of Rancho Mirage serves as the lead agency and approved the project on December 4, 2025, under Environmental Assessment Case No. EA24-0009 and Minor Variance Case No. VAR24-0005. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been issued, certifying that the project will not have significant environmental effects following the adoption of specific mitigation measures and a monitoring plan in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The performance area encompasses specific Assessor's Parcel Numbers including 689-090-003, 689-130-004, 689-130-005, 689-130-013, 689-130-014, 689-130-017, 689-130-018, and 689-140-022.
