Community development director: Reset hotel not yet open; code‑amendment workshops and RV parks update planned
Summary
The community development director corrected media reports saying a local hotel had opened, said the developer targets a May opening, and previewed upcoming development code workshops and a return of parks and RV‑park items to the commission in a few months.
The community development director told the Planning Commission on Feb. 4 that a recent Forbes story and social media posts incorrectly reported that a new hotel in Twentynine Palms had opened. The director said the developer is targeting a roughly May opening but that construction and ground‑moving activities are ongoing.
The director also said staff plans a series of workshops to brief commissioners on proposed development code amendments before bringing formal code changes to the commission. The goal is to present draft changes by subject matter so commissioners can provide preliminary feedback prior to formal review.
Commissioners asked when the parks and RV‑park code item will return; staff estimated that item would come back in "probably another couple of months." The director reminded commissioners that state law now requires at least 20 days’ public advertisement for development‑code or general‑plan amendments, which has extended timelines for pending amendments.
