The advisory board’s agenda also includes ongoing items on agency, public relations, media and website updates, along with a nonprofit discussion under old business.
The Parks and Recreation Commission meets later that same evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Large Conference Room, where commissioners will consider approving a Memorandum of Understanding with the Palm Springs Parks Foundation, a nonprofit formally known as People for the Parks Palm Springs Foundation, Inc.
The commission’s agenda also includes a presentation on Water Safety Month, a discussion of the commission’s agenda format and a presentation on upcoming special events.
The Planning Commission meets Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, where it will consider a major development permit for a 92,400-square-foot self-storage facility on a 4.2-acre vacant parcel at 900 North Farrell Drive.
The project, proposed by Legacy Built Investments & Development, LLC, calls for a two-story building with a maximum height of 30 feet and 52 outdoor RV parking spaces.
A smaller version of the project — a 65,284-square-foot facility — was approved by the Planning Commission in April 2022 but has since been redesigned. Planning staff recommends approval of the updated proposal.
The week concludes Wednesday when the City Council Finance Standing Subcommittee convenes at 11 a.m. in the City Hall Small Conference Room for a special session.
Mayor Naomi Soto and Mayor Pro Tem David Ready will review and recommend the city’s FY2026-27 investment policy for consideration by the full City Council. The subcommittee will also receive a presentation on Environmental, Social and Governance considerations and hear a quarterly investment review from Chandler Asset Management.
