General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan

The City of Indio is advancing a mixed-use development project on a 20.20-acre site composed of four existing parcels to be subdivided into eight lots, with the primary focus on constructing three distinct buildings totaling 3.71 acres. The development includes a Starbucks location featuring a drive-through, a commercial marketplace equipped with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station and commercial battery storage, and a multi-tenant retail building, all supported by comprehensive circulation, parking, landscaping, and signage systems. To facilitate this project, a Conditional Use Permit is required to authorize the drive-through restaurant use, and a Tentative Tract Map must be approved to legally subdivide the land. The project falls under NAICS code 237210, indicating it is categorized as an electric and other power line construction activity, despite the broader nature of the development, which suggests infrastructure integration for energy and transportation needs. The initiative aligns with the City’s General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan objectives, emphasizing sustainable land use and energy efficiency. Primary contact for the project is Gustavo Gomez, Principal Planner at the City of Indio, with additional support from Jim Fitzpatrick of Solutioneers, though no contract value, pricing, evaluation criteria, or specific delivery or administrative details are available due to incomplete or inaccessible documentation. The project is publicly listed with a posted date of July 20, 2026, and associated with a California environmental review system link, indicating environmental review processes are underway or pending.
