Dear Members of the Planning Department,
I am writing to express my opposition to a housing development in the Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood between La Mirada and Belardo, south of Ramon – see attached image.
This critical area at the base of the mountain supports fragile desert habitat and is vital for native wildlife, including bighorn sheep, bobcats, burrowing owls, nighthawks, and other species that depend on undisturbed open space.
Further development in this ecologically sensitive zone would threaten these animals, intensify pressure on water resources, disrupt hydrology, and erode the natural character that makes Palm Springs unique, and which is becoming scarce in the city.
I ask that my comments be entered into the public record and that I be notified of upcoming hearings or opportunities for public input.
Thank you for your time and for your dedication to preserving Palm Springs' environment and quality of life.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Neighborhood or Community Name]
Palm Springs, CA
