On September 15, 2021, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors authorized the preparation of a new Thermal Community Plan through General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 210110. Riverside County’s existing General Plan land use policies for most of this area are articulated primarily through the Eastern Coachella Valley Area Plan. Both area plans were adopted in 2003, as part of the new countywide General Plan adopted at that time in conjunction with the Riverside County Integrated Project.
