Raimi + Associates led a team of sub-consultants through an extensive General Plan update and Climate Action Plan for the City of Coachella, a low-income, predominantly Spanish-speaking community on the eastern edge of the Los Angeles Region. The R+A-led team worked with the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee, General Plan Wellness Advisory Committee, stakeholders, city staff, and community members to develop a vision for the City’s anticipated growth from its current population of 40,000 to 135,000 by 2035. The update entailed a complete re-write and re-organization of the City’s previous 2007 City’s General Plan, and incorporates new maps, graphics, charts, and descriptive text to better illustrate the vision, unique identity, and concepts that are central to Coachella's future as a healthy, safe, and sustainable community. The plan was unanimously adopted by the city and is currently being implemented through a series of new ordinances and regulations that support the vision for the city's future.
