General Plan Update

The Desert Hot Springs General Plan guides decision-making about how our community will continue to grow and how we will preserve the features and qualities we value. This General Plan establishes the policy framework for land use regulations and will guide our decisions regarding investments in public infrastructure and facilities, how we allocate funding for public services, initiatives and strategies we will pursue to protect local environmental resources, and our approaches to accommodating multiple mobility modes. This General Plan reflects the values of residents, business owners, and our elected officials, and—through clearly stated goals, policies, and implementation actions—provides a comprehensive strategy that achieves our community’s vision.
