Development Code Update
Now that the Countywide Plan has been adopted we have turned
our attention towards implementation starting with updating the Development
Code. As you may already know, an implementation plan was adopted along with
the Countywide Plan. A major feature of the Development Code is a new
zoning map which will ensure zones are consistent with recently adopted land
use designations. Additional changes to the text are also being made so
the code is easier to understand and use. If you would like to receive
direct notifications, availability of draft documents and other updates and
opportunities for participation regarding the Development Code Update, go

Countywide Plan
After five years of analysis and public engagement, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Countywide Plan—a new set of plans and tools that go well beyond a traditional general plan for its unincorporated communities, which complements and informs the Countywide Vision for all.

Joshua trees are now protected by the State of California as
a candidate for listing as an endangered species. At this time, the County
cannot issue a permit to take (by removal or transplanting) any Joshua tree.
Due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
effective dates of plans utilizing the 2016 editions of the California Building
Codes were extended from July 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020. Applications
that do not have a permit issued by October 1, 2020 will be considered expired,
and applicants will be required to update corresponding plans based on the 2019
California Building Codes. The same application number can be utilized,
but additional fees may be required.
