Hello Planning Commission members, I’m writing in support of Oswit Land Trust’s request for an amendment in
order to go forward with restoration of approximately 90 acres of land on the former Mesquite Country Club golf
course. Although I’m a resident of Palm Desert, I often go hiking and birdwatching at Prescott Preserve. I know that
the staff and volunteers of OLT are working hard to clean up and restore areas that are blighted, transforming the
land into environmentally sustainable and beautiful desert habitat. This change will benefit the entire Coachella
Valley — wildlife, visitors, and residents — while serving as a model for other cities. The transition period has
unquestionably been tough. Moving forward will help convey the vision, provide proof of concept, and put doubts to
rest.
I’m pleased to see that staff recommend this progress, and I hope you will support it.
Thank you for all you do.
