Garnet

This sub-area is located at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Indian Avenue, directly between Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs and serves as an entry point for both cities.  The community includes approximately 250 acres of underutilized properties.  A portion of the sub-area is within the City of Palm Springs.  Business in Garnet has traditionally focused on tourist commercial establishments, including auto service facilities and fast food.  This focus has shifted toward quality industrial and commercial development as the surrounding area has changes.  The recent development of business parks and freeway improvements make the area ideal for future industrial and commercial development.

West Garnet

The West Garnet sub-area consists of 144 acres located south of Interstate 10 and bordered by the cities of Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs.  The sub-area is a small residential community centered within a designated wind energy zone.  Residential development is scattered and many lots are vacant and available.  Wind energy is the predominate land use in the surrounding areas.

The Agency is currently studying the feasibility of expanding the redevelopment area by adding territory north of Interstate 10 and potentially linking both the Garnet and West Garnet sub-area. Click here for more information.
