General Plan Overview
The Palm Desert General Plan charts the path for Palm Desert’s future and is the principal
tool for guiding the physical form and development of the city. At the same time, it is a
visionary document that lays out the community’s long-term goals and objectives for the
future. The Palm Desert General Plan provides long-term policy direction on land use and
community design, mobility, housing, infrastructure, economics, health, public facilities,
and services of the City through 2040.
In 2013, more than 100 interested residents, business owners, and policy makers worked
together to develop a 20-year strategic plan for the City. The yearlong process and resulting
document, the 2013-2033 Strategic Plan, Envision Palm Desert - Forward Together
(“Envision Palm Desert”), laid the groundwork and direction for this General Plan Update.
The community members developed an overall community vision, priorities, strategies,
action steps, and measures of success. Envision Palm Desert identified the City’s Vision and
several important strategies that pertain to planning, land use and transportation, including:
• Expand economic competitiveness
• Build on tourism, education, arts, and business successes
• Enhance quality of life
• Attract new employers
• Leverage universities
• Create an authentic downtown
• Anticipate new demographics and market trends
• Capitalize on the city’s outstanding climate and geography
• Expand access throughout the City
Given the connections to planning, land use, and transportation, the Strategic Plan
recommended that the City prepare a General Plan Update.
On November 10, 2016, the Palm Desert City Council adopted Resolution No. 2016-86
certifying a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2015081020) for the 2016
Palm Desert General Plan Update, and Resolution No. 2016-87 approving the 2016 General
Plan Update with a 2040 horizon year. The update generally focused on:
• Creating updated policies for achieving the priorities set forth in the Strategic Plan for:
Arts & Culture; Economic Development; Education; Energy & Sustainability; Land
Use, Housing & Open Space; Parks & Recreation; Public Safety & Emergency
Services; Tourism & Marketing, and Transportation.
GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT | 2025

• Creating policies and framework to foster the development of a true city
center/downtown.
• Creating policies and implementation actions to further enhance the city’s leading
sustainability and energy efficiency efforts.
The General Plan contains nine (9) elements and implements the mandatory elements
required by California Government Code (GC) Section 65302 as follows:
Table 1: Palm Desert General Plan Elements
Land Use & Community Character Land Use Element (GC § 65302(a))
Mobility Circulation Element (GC § 65302(b))
Health & Wellness Not Required
Environmental Resources Conservation Element (GC § 65302(d))
Open Space Element (GC § 65302(e))
Noise Noise Element (GC § 65302(f)(1))
Safety Safety Element (GC § 65302(g)(1))
Public Utilities & Services Conservation Element (GC § 65302(d))
City Center Area Plan Not Required
Housing Housing Element (GC § 65302(c))
Senate Bill 1000 (Leyva, 2016) introduced the requirement for local agencies containing
disadvantaged communities (as defined in Gov. Code§ 65302, subd. (h)(4)(A)) to prepare an
Environmental Justice Element. The Environmental Justice element is optional for the City of
Palm Desert as the City planning area does not contain any census tracts which qualify as
disadvantaged communities pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 39711.
Since its adoption in 2016, the Palm Desert General Plan has been amended five (5) times
as summarized below in table 2.

General Plan Annual Progress Report
The General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) monitors progress in implementing and
updating the Palm Desert General Plan each year. This report is in compliance with
Government Code Section 65400, which requires that local jurisdictions submit an annual
report to their legislative bodies, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and
the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st. This report is
provided to help citizens and City officials gauge progress towards achieving the City’s stated
goals and objectives.
The City did not previously submit General Plan APRs based on an exemption for charter
cities per Government code Section 65700. The adoption of SB 1333 in 2019 however,
removed the exemption and required all jurisdictions to prepare General Plan APRs. The City
submitted its first General Plan APR in 2024. This General Plan APR satisfies that requirement
by providing an overview of General Plan implementation in calendar year 2025 and
comparing it to State guidance and the General Plan. This is the City’s second reporting of
the General Plan APR to the state.
This report will highlight some of the major accomplishments made during the 2025
reporting period and provide a summary of work completed toward the implementation
actions and policies of the General Plan in Attachment A. Changes from 2024 are highlighted
in blue. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is also included as Attachment B and
contains the state mandated reporting information and is presented in the state mandated
format.

Housing Development
The Housing Element works hand in hand with the Land Use Element to balance the land
uses available in the city to accommodate future growth. Land use designations are
designed to accommodate all types of housing, to allow for the development of single family
and multi-family units to meet the needs of the City’s residents, now and in the future. The
Housing Element includes a description of existing housing types, condition of existing units,
overcrowding, overpayment, special housing needs, and the demand for affordable housing
in the City. This section highlights various efforts completed in 2024 towards implementing
the programs and policies of the Housing Element. The complete Housing Element Annual
Progress Report is provided as a separate document, Attachment B, with the required data
and in the format mandated by state law.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The City’s regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) determined by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) is 2,790 housing units for the 6th Cycle 2021– 2029
Planning Period. Within this allocation, the city is required to plan for four income and
affordability categories: very-low income, low income, moderate income, and above-
moderate income. The City’s RHNA by affordability levels is 675 units of very-low-income
households, 460 low-income households, 461 moderate income households, and 1,194
above-moderate income households.
Building Permits Issued
In 2024, the City of Palm Desert issued building permits for the development of 111 new
housing units. The table below shows the City’s progress towards the overall RHNA for the
6th Cycle Planning Period
Table 3: Total Progress Towards 2021-2029 RHNA Goal
