Upcoming ONE-PS & neighborhood events and meetings
Tuesday, July 26, Organizational meeting for a new neighborhood, 6 p.m., Sundance HOA, on North Avenida Caballeros between Francis and San Rafael (2901 Sundance Circle West)
I know we have people doing their balloon wrangling calisthenics. And that’s good. We will be having the giant helium filled balloons in this year’s Festival of Lights Parade. But I don’t know yet how many balloons or how many wranglers we’ll need. Keep getting in parade shape and we’ll let you know more soon.
Earthwatch Institute is looking to train urban citizen scientists to help with our public tree inventory. The City is excited to partner with Earthwatch to aid in increasing our urban forestry data and to help maintain our urban canopy.
Being a citizen scientist is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

A flier is attached with more information.

Attached is a public hearing notice for the Aug. 3 City Council meeting. The purpose of the hearing is to consider a proposal to convert and subdivide an abandoned 125-acre golf course, formerly known as the Palm Springs Country Club, to 137 attached residences, 292 detached residences, streets, private open space and a public park. The applications include the following:
A General Plan Amendment to (1) change approximately 126 acres of “Open Space – Parks / Recreation” to “Very Low Density Residential”, allowing up to 4 dwelling units per acre, and (2) modify text within the Recreation, Open Space & Conservation (ROSC) element to address the loss of golf course open space and the addition of a proposed public park, a Planned Development District in lieu of Zone Change to establish the project site plan, permitted uses and development standards, a Major Architectural Application to review proposed conceptual architecture; a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the project site, and a Development Agreement to establish terms and obligations between the developer and the city.
