 We are happy to announce a triumph regarding the iconic Palm Springs City Hall site. The city's planning commission voted unanimously to overturn "an unnecessary and historically damaging" plan to reconfigure the parking lot.

The reconfiguration of the parking lot would have blocked the sight ines of this important, modernist hardscape, which the community has enjoyed for fifty years, and replaced it with lines of cars. The site, designed by Clark, Frey & Chambers, recently garnered new interest when it was discovered that famed modernist designer Garrett Eckbo was involved with its early design.
