Document Description
The City of Indian Wells is proposing a comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU). The GPU provides new policies, and addresses land use, mobility, open space, conservation, safety, noise, and economic development. The GPU includes an update to the City’s Land Use Map. It proposes to change the current land use designation of two locations. The GPU proposes changes to the Whitewater River Channel consistent with ongoing efforts to improve the Channel. Buildout of the proposed GPU would result in 5,455 single family units and 816 multifamily units, for a total of 6,271 residential units (consistent with the current General Plan); 5,159,667 square feet of nonresidential space (27,563 more square feet than the current General Plan); and 6,310 jobs (93 more jobs than the current General Plan).
