College Park Specific Plan

Document Description: The College Park Specific Plan (CPSP) sets forth the future uses in the 510+/- planning area, which is currently ~ 60% built out. The planning area contains a complex mix of residential, industrial, commercial and vacant lands at the north end of contiguous urban development. The CPSP includes the 118 +/- acre College of the Desert (COD) West Valley Campus (WVC), and associated solar array. The project includes area-specific development standards and guidelines. Roadway designations will also be considered and are also being refined in the CPSP and associated General Plan Amendment.
