SAVE THE DATE! The developers' appeal with the Board of Supervisors (BOS) is expected to be heard on Tuesday, June 27th, 2023.

We encourage you to attend the Board of Supervisors (BOS) hearing on June 27 to let your voices be heard again. Let's see this to the end! The Joshua Tree remote teleconferencing center at the Bob Burke Government Center should be made available for those who cannot make it to the Government Center in the city of San Bernardino. More details about this in the next update as we get closer to June 27th. 

If the project had significant alterations, it would have been heard again by the Planning Commission (PC), but since the appeal is being put on the BOS agenda  it appears the developer, RoBott Land, is appealing the project “as-is,” meaning no considerations have been made from community or PC feedback.  As witnessed at the PC hearing in March it was overwhelmingly clear the project is opposed by the community.

To bring you up to speed in context with our last few updates:
The glamping resort project was denied "without prejudice" by the PC on March 9th, as the recommendation failed to get a motion.  In lay terms, members of the PC failed to bring the item up for a vote after hearing the developers & Land Use Services' presentation and the community public comment which ultimately lead to an automatic denial. The developers had a chance to appeal, which they did on March 17th, and now the appeal is being brought forth to the BOS on June 27th. See www.saveourdeserts.org for more information and documents pertaining to this project, which is being proposed in a rural area that is zoned for Rural Living.

Thank you for your time and determination in preserving this piece of land!
