Hello Commissioners,
I'm writing about the proposed project that, to my understanding, would change the zoning on
this lot in order to build a walled/gated community of single family homes. I feel this is the
wrong development for this location, and a missed opportunity. I understand it's been vacant
for a very long time and may be lease land, however, this conversation could act as a
catalyst for some fresh thinking.
It’s the perfect location for an affordable higher density development. It’s also much more
walkable than most of the other locations at the north end of town, as it's close to grocery
stores, services. etc.. I feel it should include mixed use along Palm Canyon and not turn its
back or be gated. Think OCEO but more open and affordable, with retail along the front. In
my 6 years on the AAC we tried to avoid gated developments, and wanted engagement with
the street. I feel that's more in tune with Palm Springs.
Thanks for your consideration,
Kenny
