If you are researching 2400 S Bisnaga Avenue in Palm Springs, begin with what is being offered today: vacant land in the Araby Cove area, not a completed residence. The listing describes an elevated site of approximately 0.60 acre and broad views. Those details are a starting point for investigation, not a substitute for a survey or a site visit.
Separate the parcel from the concept
The seller-provided flyer presents a contemporary hillside-home concept and reports that feasibility, structural, and geological work has been completed. The listing also reports plans about 90% complete with the City of Palm Springs. Ask for the current plan set, consultant reports, City comments, and a written description of what remains. “Nearly complete” does not mean approved, permit-ready, transferable, or guaranteed to be buildable as drawn.
The flyer describes the parcel as owned land, not a lease. Since third-party listing information may differ, verify ownership and any recorded interests in a preliminary title report before relying on that statement.
Check the hillside before you picture the house
A sloped homesite calls for parcel-specific answers about boundaries, legal access, easements, topography, drainage, soils, retaining needs, and utility routes. Ask qualified professionals to review the survey and geotechnical information. Confirm whether the views, access, and site conditions shown in marketing materials match the property as it exists.
Confirm Palm Springs rules for this exact parcel
The City explains that each property has both a General Plan designation and a zoning designation, which help define allowed uses and development standards. Ask Planning staff to identify the current rules for this parcel and whether design review, grading, hillside, habitat, or other requirements may apply. The City’s Building Department also explains that construction requires the applicable permits and plan review.
A useful first request to Everett Brunelle is a current document packet: title information, survey, plan set, engineering and soils reports, utility correspondence, and written City status. Then compare those records with your own design, budget, and timeline before making an offer.
