The Project planning area is adjacent to the Palm Springs Cultural Center (PSCC) building and site located to the southwest corner of the planning area. The approved WVC Master Plan remains in effect. The Project proposes the approval and development of the Development Plan Amendment No. 1, including providing 121,025± square feet of assignable space, 750± parking spaces, a multi-modal transit hub, and central plant and support facilities. The DPA No. 1 Project is expected to accommodate an enrollment of 2,951 students, which equates to approximately 1,101 FTES.
