Planning Commission - Jul 14 2026

The City of Desert Hot Springs Planning Commission held a regular meeting on July 14, 2026, during which they reviewed Conditional Use Permit number 25-8. The permit application was submitted by the First Pentecostal Church for the development of an 11,000 square foot religious assembly facility located at 65241 San Jacinto Lane within a light industrial zoning district. The project includes maintaining two existing buildings for Sunday school and special events, a large parking lot with 111 stalls, and a new sanctuary seating approximately 546 people. The Commission certified the project as exempt under CEQA and unanimously approved the conditional use permit, allowing the church to expand its facilities to accommodate its growing congregation and community outreach programs. No other procurement or budgetary matters were discussed during the meeting.
