CASE(S): General Plan Amendment, GPA No 25-2, Housing Element Update
LOCATION: City-wide
APPLICANT/REPRESENTATIVE: The City of Desert Hot Springs
PROPOSAL: The City of Desert Hot Springs will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers, to consider the Housing Element Mid-Cycle Review. For more information, please visit https://www.cityofdhs.org/housing-element/ or contact the Planning Division at planning@cityofdhs.org.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the Housing Element will have a significant effect on the environment. The Project involves policies, programs, and actions to assure that the City assists in meeting the City’s housing needs. Future projects developed for housing will be subject to site-specific CEQA review as they are brought forward.
On October 7, 2025, the City Council, at the public hearing or during deliberation, may recommend approval, deny, or propose changes to the project or to the environmental determination.
INTERESTED PERSONS MAY appear and be heard, or written comments may be submitted prior to the Public Hearing(s). Written comments will be made a part of the public record. If this matter should at some future date go to court, court testimony may be limited to only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Desert Hot Springs, at or prior to, the public hearing.
All information regarding the proposed project is available for public review at the City of Desert Hot Springs City Hall, 11999 Palm Drive during regular business hours (Monday through Thursday, 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM).
