Major warehouse and industrial complex proposed on tribal land in Palm Springs
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - The Palm Springs City Council will consider an Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Tribal plan for a 217 acre development located between Highway 111 and Interstate 10 at the entrance to the city.
City staff has recommended the Palm Springs City Council approve a conformity report for the development at its next city council meeting on December 10th.
The Desert Mountain View Business Park Project would include four warehouse buildings ranging in size from 248,000 square feet to 1.14 million square feet. A full description of the project along with potential environmental impacts can be found on the tribe's website: aguacaliente.org/planning-department.
The report includes maps and renderings of the project.
An environmental impact report found that there will be "significant and unavoidable" air quality impacts. It also calls for the tenant/facility operator to develop a Commute Trip Reduction plan. The project would be built by a private developer and the property would be leased from the tribe.
