A five star resort in Palm Springs?

The Saga Unfolds - from The Press Enterprise...

The roots of today's struggle over building in Chino Canyon started with one man's dream. Mark Bragg, the original developer, couldn't find a five-star resort in Palm Springs. In 1984, Bragg began assembling land for an upscale tennis resort. But his plans changed, turning to a golf resort.

Today, Bragg isn't involved in day-to-day activities with Shadowrock, but he retains a financial interest in the project, Castleton said. In 1993, Palm Springs initially approved Bragg's plans for Shadowrock. Over the next decade, the developer and his project faced tough times. Bragg encountered regulatory issues with state and federal agencies and faced lawsuits from environmentalists.

Outcome Pending

With the election nearing, the dueling campaigns are in a battle for every vote.
Both sides plan on winning at the ballot box. But even with a final tally, Shadowrock's fate could end up in court, depending on which side prevails, because of two pending lawsuits, said City Attorney Doug Holland.
"There are loose ends that may need to be resolved in court," he said.
