The City has prepared the Coachella Zoning Consistency Update, which would act to amend the City’s existing Zoning Code to implement the City’s General Plan 2035 and to promote and enhance the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the city. Since a Zoning Code regulates, among other things, a jurisdiction’s land use, density, lot coverages, lot sizes and setbacks, building sizes, landscaping, and parking, it is the means to implement a jurisdiction’s General Plan, which is the policy document for its future growth.   The Zoning Consistency Update was considered at a public hearing before the Planning Commission on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 at 6 p.m.  A subsequent City Council public hearing was held and the Zoning Consistency Update adopted on July 26, 2023 and will be in effect August 26, 2023.
