Tonight’s Twentynine Palms City Council meeting will kick off with a public hearing on various changes to the ‘Dedications and Improvements’ aspect of the Development Code, which sets standards for street dedications, infrastructure improvements for development projects, and Development Impact Fees.
As required annually by state law, the council will then review the status of the General Plan. Ultimately, the report will be submitted to the State Office of Planning Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Council will then discuss the possible relocation of 29! sign from its’ current location at Donnell Hill to Freedom Plaza area. The sign, created by local artist Chuck Caplinger, also requires $4,000 in repairs.
Once again, council will consider a possible update to the current fee waiver policy dated September of 1989, which allows for unlimited free city-owned facility rentals to qualified organizations.
Next, the council will appoint Xarene Eskander to the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC). Eskander has a background in live audio-visuals and photography.
Finally, the council will round out the meeting with a review and possible guidance on the preliminary FY 2024-25 budget revisions for the General Fund.
The meeting takes place on Tuesday, May 14, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 6136 Adobe Road. It can be livestreamed or viewed on-demand via the city’s website, www.29palms.org.
