PROJECT SUMMARY: The County of Riverside Planning Department will serve as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and will coordinate the public review of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will evaluate the potential significant environmental impacts that may result from the proposed project. 

The Project as evaluated in the Project’s RDEIR includes applications for the first amendment to the Stoneridge Specific Plan No. 239 (SP 239A1), a General Plan Amendment (GPA 190008), and Change of Zone (CZ 1900024). The Project evaluated in the RDEIR consists of two separate land use alternatives for the 582.6-acre site, both of which are evaluated at an equal level of detail in the RDEIR. Two alternatives are considered because the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is currently planning for construction of a regional transportation facility, the “Mid-County Parkway” (MCP). A portion of the MCP is currently planned to traverse the northwestern portions of the Project site. It is currently not known when or if the MCP would be constructed by RCTC; thus, the “Primary Land Use Plan” anticipates that the MCP would not be constructed through the property, in which case the site would be developed with up to 7,350,000 s.f. of Light Industrial land uses on 388.5 acres, 1,069,398 s.f. of Business Park land uses on 49.1 acres, 121,968 s.f. of Commercial Retail on 8.0 acres, Open Space – Conservation on 18.1 acres, Open Space – Conservation Habitat on 81.6 acres, and major roadways on 37.3 acres. The “Alternative Land Use Plan” anticipates that the MCP would be constructed through the northwest portions of the site, in which case the site would be developed with 7,350,000 s.f. of Light Industrial land uses on 388.5 acres, 936,540 s.f. of Business Park land uses on 51.5 acres, 126,542 s.f. of Commercial Retail land uses on 8.5 acres, 18.1 acres of Open Space – Conservation, 81.6 acres of Open Space – Conservation Habitat, and 34.4 acres of major roadways. For purposes of analysis throughout the Project’s RDEIR, the “Primary Land Use Plan” is the preferred and primary land use plan for the proposed Project. The “Alternative Land Use Plan” only would be implemented in the event that the RCTC constructs the MCP through the northernmost portions of the Project site.

PROJECT LOCATION: The overall project is located south of Ramona Expressway, north of Nuevo Road, east of Foothill Drive, and west of the future extension of Menifee Road. Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 307-070-003, 307-080-(005, 006, 008), 307-090-(001, 002, 004, 005, 006), 307-100-(001, 003, 004, 005), 307-110-(003, 007, 008), 307-220-001, and 307-230-(019, 020).
