Welcome

Located in the heart of Southern California’s Desert Resort communities, the City of Indian Wells is recognized worldwide for its tranquil and luxurious resort environment. Then and now, astute planning and city leadership have helped Indian Wells achieve status as one of the premier residential resorts and vacation destinations in the United States. Guests and residents alike are continually drawn to the many amenities that Indian Wells offers including four world-class resorts, Indian Wells Golf Resort and Indian Wells Tennis Garden, a variety of cultural programs, impressive resident benefits, and much more.

Each city in California is required to have a General Plan which serves as a guiding document for the City’s long-term growth and development. Our City’s previous General Plan dates back to 1996, and this comprehensive update to our General Plan serves as an important opportunity for our community to consider where we’ve been, and where we’d like to go over the next twenty years. The General Plan addresses a range of important community topics like land use, housing, economic development, transportation, parks and recreation, public safety, and more. City staff, elected and appointed officials, business owners, developers, and citizens can reference the General Plan for guidance on our community’s long-term goals and priorities, helping to ensure that day-to-day decisions bring us closer to our vision for the future of Indian Wells.

This General Plan Update is a way for you to share your vision for the future of our community. We need your help in order to make the General Plan a success. What do you love about Indian Wells? What opportunities and challenges do you think face Indian Wells as it grows over the next 10, 15 or 20 years? What new technologies will change how we live, work, and play?
