Planning for our Future
The City of Palm Springs is updating its Zoning Code to better reflect today’s needs and accommodate future growth. This is the City’s first comprehensive update to the Zoning Code since 1988 and will incorporate the 2023 Limited General Plan Update and the 2021-2029 Housing Element (currently underway).
The Zoning Code is Palm Springs' rules for how land can be used. It determines what types of activities and buildings are allowed in different areas--such as residential, commercial, or industrial uses--and manages development cohesively. The Zoning Code strives to find the best ways to foster a compatible pattern of land uses and development that furthers the City’s vision and goals. This modernization of the Zoning Code is also intended to make it more flexible, user-friendly, and responsive to the needs of the diverse communities that make Palm Springs Like No Place Else!
