PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The 489.45-acre property is located southeast of the Temescal Canyon Road interchange with I-15 in the Temescal Canyon community of unincorporated Riverside County. The property was approved for development in 2010 in the Serrano Commerce Center Specific Plan No. 353. The Project includes applications for a General Plan Amendment, Change of Zone, Amendment No. 1 to Specific Plan No. 353 (Serrano Commerce Center), seven (7) Plot Plans, and a Tentative Parcel Map to facilitate future development of the 489.45-acre property with up to 6,472,000 square feet (s.f.) of light industrial uses on 375.11 acres, open space on 87.77 acres, and major roadways on 29.57 acres. General Plan Amendment (GPA230002) would amend the adopted land use designations from Commercial Retail (CR), Light Industrial (LI), Open Space – Conservation (OS-C), and Open Space – Water (OS-W) to LI, OS-C, Open Space – Conservation Habitat (OS-CH), and OS-W. Change of Zone (CZ2300006) would modify the previously-approved Serrano Commerce Center Specific Plan planning area boundaries and approved zoning standards for the property to reflect the uses proposed as part of Amendment No. 1 to Specific Plan No. 353 (SP00353A01). SP00353A01 would modify the Serrano Commerce Center Specific Plan No. SP 353 to eliminate 17.45 acres of Commercial Retail; expand areas proposed for LI land uses from 372.06 acres to 375.11 acres and reducing the maximum amount of LI building area from 6,660,994 s.f. to 6,472,000 s.f.; add a new OS-CH land use designation in the same area currently identified for OS-C uses and increasing the size of these areas to 49.38 acres; add new OS-C area encompassing 20.61 acres; increase areas proposed for OS-W uses from 13.08 acres to 14.78 acres; and reduce the extent of major roadways from 37.93 acres to 29.57 acres. Plot Plan No. 230009 (PPT 230009) is a proposal for a 335,400 s.f. light industrial building (Building 2) on 20.31 acres within Planning Area 2 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230010 (PPT 230010) is a proposal for a 983,000 s.f. light industrial building (Building 3) on 46.36 acres within Planning Area 3 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230011 (PPT 230011) is a proposal for a 1,016,000 s.f. light industrial building (Building 6) on 54.65 acres within Planning Area 6 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230012 (PPT 230012) is a proposal for a 360,000 s.f. light industrial building (Building 9) on 18.07 acres within Planning Area 9 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230013 (PPT 230013) is a proposal for a 589,800 s.f. light industrial building (Building 11) on 40.08 acres within Planning Area 11 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230014 (PPT 230014) is a proposal for a 231,140 s.f. building (Building 12) on 15.93 acres within Planning Area 12 of proposed SP 353A1. Plot Plan No. 230015 (PPT 230015) is a proposal for a 221,500 s.f. light industrial building (Building 10) on 13.25 acres within Planning Area 10 of proposed SP 353A1. Tentative Parcel Map No. 38701 (TPM38701) is a proposal to subdivide the 489.45-acre property into a total of 20 parcels to facilitate the Project’s proposed light industrial uses, and also would include approximately 29.76 acres of right-of-way dedications.
