Indian Wells General Plan Update

Indian Wells General Plan Update

Indian Wells is preparing a comprehensive update to the General Plan, which was adopted and updated at various times between 1988 and 2024. General plans are required by State law to guide land use and development, typically within a 20-year horizon. General plans must be periodically updated to respond to new State laws, changing conditions, and emerging issues and opportunities. The General Plan Update (GPU) will address all State-required topics (land use, circulation, housing, open space, noise, safety, and conservation) and other topics of local importance, including community design, sustainability, economic development, and public facilities. The General Plan Planning Area comprehensively covers the entire City boundary and provide additional guidance for potential future development. The City’s GPU will include goals, policies, and actions that set the long-term plan (blueprint) for potential future development in the City. The proposed project will build off the current General Plan and provide a framework for land use decisions, and direct future growth within Indian Wells through the year 2040.
