The City of Twentynine Palms seeks to create and promote the economic and social well being of its residents while maintaining our relaxed atmosphere and air quality, as well as simultaneously creating a stronger and more diversified economy through attracting arts and tourism development, health/retirement, recreational, and clean non-polluting industries. These goals should be guided by two principles: (1) sustainability, and (2) adaptability. This requires that existing needs be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and that, to the degree reasonably possible as determined by the appropriate approval authority, community activities should adapt to the natural environment, rather than the natural environment being changed or adapted to these activities. 

Elements of the City's General Plan are listed on the menu at left.
