I.PURPOSE:
The Palm Desert General Plan may be amended in accordance with the California Government Code and procedures described in
article 25.78.070 “General Plan Updates” of the Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC). Since State legislation provides that
any mandatory element of a general plan may be amended no more than three (3) times during any calendar year, all applicants
should verify with the Department of Community Development that the proposed amendment complies. State law requires that
the amendment(s) be filed 90 days prior to any proposed hearing dates. The Department of Community Development will investigate
the request, prepare a report and recommendation, publish a legal notice, and notify the applicant and adjacent property owners of
the public hearings.

City Council. The Planning Commission meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month.
