Palm Springs' Forgotten Historic District
12 September 2009 - 5:00am
Palm Springs has rediscovered a historic district that's been on the books for 23 years, but has been somehow forgotten until this week. Preservationists see this as a huge win, a way to protect the unique neighborhood and showcase its architecture.
"The district is nestled in Palm Springs' uptown corridor and features a blend of Spanish Revival and mid-century modern commercial architecture. 'The district appears largely intact' to how it looked in 1986, [director of planning services, Craig] Ewing said.
City staff and preservationists alike apparently lost track of the district, the only one of its kind in Palm Springs, amid more than two decades of turnover at City Hall."

If hundreds of people in your community raised reasonable concerns about a planning program you developed, how would you respond? Perhaps you might call a community meeting, or ask community elected officials to reach out to community leaders.
