Palm Springs adopts map for new district boundaries

Palm Springs has a new map for its future district-based elections, and not much will change in the future.

The city council unanimously voted to adopt Map L on Thursday.

Map Option L moves the commercial area in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood from Alejo Road, east of N. Palm Canyon Drive, and W. Tahquitz Canyon Way from District 5 to District 3.

"One of our sort of four priorities was to, an extent we could, keep neighborhoods together," said Palm Springs Councilmember Geoff Kors.

Districts 3 & 4 will see population gains with the change. Approximately 80 people will move election cycles, however, this group of people will move into an earlier election cycle.
