Building a More Livable Indio

The Planning Division - as an integral part of the City’s Team - is working in many ways to help build a more livable City of Indio.

The division accomplishes this goal through the preparation of a variety of short, mid, and long-range plans. These plans direct and guide residential, commercial, and industrial development by encouraging land uses that are compatible, sustainable, and most beneficial to the community.
