Discussion:
On April 19, 2005 and May 17, 2005 City of Palm Desert (City) staff met with
members of the Landscape Sub -Committee at College of the Desert. This committee
is presently developing the Conceptual Landscape Master Plan Guidelines for the
redevelopment of the campus. In the April 19, 2005 meeting City staff presented an
introduction and overview of the major concepts of "Desert Landscape Design."
The perimeter areas around the College of the Desert are to be landscaped in a
"Desert Landscape Design." The Sub -Committee is still considering perimeter wall
designs but at this time they favor a block wall with view openings similar to the
perimeter wall at Desert Willow Golf Resort.
