The palm desert general plan may be amended in accordance with the California Government Code and

calendar year, all applicants should check with the department of community development to verify that
the proposed amendment would comply. State law requires that they be filed ninety (90) days prior to any
proposed hearing dates. The Department of Community Development will investigate the request,
prepare a report and recommendations, publish legal notices, and notify the applicant and adjacent
property owners of the public hearings.

1. Complete application form filled out with required signatures.
2. Any and all required plans and exhibits as described in the application.
II. PROCEDURE:

will investigate the request, prepare a staff report with a recommendation, publish legal notices, and notify the
applicant and adjacent property owners of the public hearings at Planning Commission and City Council.
2. The proposed general plan amendment will be presented to the Planning Commission, typically within 6-10
weeks from the time is submitted to staff. Some cases may take longer.
3. The proposed change of zone will then be presented to the City Council for final approval, typically within 4-6
weeks from the Planning Commission decision.
