Fern Canyon Drive- Access Road for New Development?

A new housing development would require additional access roads, and that means the quiet Fern Canyon Drive is about to become MUCH more busy.

If this is a concern, be sure to email City Planning!

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.

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.

It is my understanding that Fern Canyon Drive would then be slated as an access road which I vehemently oppose.

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]
