Data Source: Riverside County (2010) San Diego County County of Riverside General Plan Amendment No. 960 Public Review Draft March 2014 45 Policies: SWAP 14.1 Adhere to development standards established in the Development Design Standards and Guidelines for the Third and Fifth Supervisorial Districts. Agricultural Preservation Agriculture continues to be an important component for many communities within the Southwest planning area. In addition to offering valuable agricultural production, the wineries and vineyards are a strong tourist attraction and economic asset for the Southwest planning area. The citrus and avocado groves also provide a viable agricultural product, while cattle can be found grazing on the rangeland. Not only do each of these agricultural uses provide an economic benefit, but they also help to preserve the historic character of the Southwest planning area.
SWAP 15.1 Protect farmland and agricultural resources in the Southwest planning area through adherence to the Agricultural Resources section of the General Plan Multipurpose Open Space Element and the Agriculture section of the General Plan Land Use Element, as well as the provisions of the Citrus/Vineyard Policy Area. Ridgeline Policies The ridgeline westerly of Interstate 15 is an outstanding visual feature that merits conservation in accordance with the Scenic Resources section of the Multipurpose Open Space Element. In order to maintain the natural appearance of this ridgeline, developments located within one-half mile of the ridgeline are reviewed in an effort to ensure that buildings and roof tops do not project above the ridgeline as viewed from the Temecula Basin.
SWAP 16.1 Building sites shall not be permitted on the Western Ridgeline as identified on the Area Plan Land Use map. Projects proposed within the area of the Western Ridgeline shall be evaluated on a case by case basis to ensure that building pad sites are located so that buildings and roof tops do not project above the Ridgeline as viewed from the Temecula Basin. All projects within one-half mile of the Western Ridgeline shall also be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if the building site will have an adverse impact to the ridgeline as viewed from the basin.
The circulation system is vital to the prosperity of a community. It provides for the movement of goods and people within and outside of the community and includes motorized and non-motorized travel modes such as
County of Riverside General Plan Amendment No. 960 46 Public Review Draft March 2014 bicycles, trains, aircraft, automobiles, and trucks. In Riverside County, the circulation system is also intended to accommodate a pattern of concentrated growth, providing both a regional and local linkage system between unique communities. The circulation system is multi-modal, which means that it provides numerous alternatives to the automobile, such as transit, pedestrian systems, and bicycle facilities so that Riverside County citizens and visitors can access the region by a number of transportation options. As stated in the Vision and the Land Use Element, Riverside County is moving away from a growth pattern of random sprawl toward a pattern of concentrated growth and increased job creation. The intent of the new growth patterns and the new mobility systems is to accommodate the transportation demands created by future growth and to provide mobility options that help reduce the need to utilize the automobile. The circulation system is designed to fit into the fabric of the land use patterns and accommodate the open space systems. While the following section describes the circulation system as it relates to the Southwest Area Plan, it is important to note that the programs and policies are supplemental to, and coordinated with, the policies of the General Plan Circulation Element. In other words, the circulation system of the Southwest Area Plan is tied to the countywide system and its long range direction. As such, successful implementation of the policies in the Southwest Area Plan will help to create an interconnected and efficient circulation system for the entire County of Riverside.
The vehicular circulation system that supports the Land Use Plan for the Southwest Area Plan is shown on Figure 7, Circulation. The vehicular circulation system in the Southwest Area Plan is anchored by Interstate 15 and Interstate 215, which merge in the City of Temecula and run north toward the Cities of Corona and Moreno Valley, respectively. Another significant roadway within the planning area is State Route 79, which runs north- south through the French Valley and then continues east-west through the Pauba Valley. De Luz and Tenaja/Clinton Keith Roads are classified as Mountain Arterials southwest of Murrieta, and run east-west to connect Orange County with Interstate 15. Rancho California and De Portola Roads generally run southwest to northeast through the planning area serving the rural land east of Temecula. Washington Street is also classified as an arterial extending north/south. Major and secondary arterials and collector roads branch off from these major roadways and provide access to local uses. The street system is more complex in urban areas than in areas that are rural or have rugged terrain. Policies: SWAP 17.1 Design and develop the vehicular roadway system per Figure 7, Circulation, and in accordance with the functional classifications and standards specified in the General Plan Circulation Element.
County of Riverside General Plan Amendment No. 960 Public Review Draft March 2014 47 SWAP 17.2 Maintain Riverside County’s roadway Level of Service standards as described in the Level of Service section of the General Plan Circulation Element. SWAP 17.3 Support the implementation of a new interchange on Interstate 15, southerly of the State Highway 79 South interchange.
The County of Riverside contains multi-purpose trails that accommodate hikers, bicyclists, and equestrian users as an integral part of Riverside County's circulation system. They serve both as a means of connecting the unique communities and activity centers throughout the County of Riverside and as an effective alternate mode of transportation. In addition to transportation, the trail system also serves as a community amenity by providing recreation and leisure opportunities as well as separations between communities. A network of trails has been planned for the Southwest planning area to make mobility for pedestrians, equestrians, and bicyclists more feasible and to provide an attractive means of recreation. The trails shown on Figure 8, Trails and Bikeway System, are conceptual representations of the proposed system. The intent is to describe the desired routes and connections, leaving detailed right-of-way studies and precise alignments for determination at a later date or when proposed development projects are required to accommodate portions of the system. The following Southwest Area Plan policy supplements general trails policies throughout Riverside County.
SWAP 18.1 Implement the Trails and Bikeway System, Figure 8, as discussed in the Non-Motorized Transportation section of the General Plan Circulation Element. Scenic Highways Scenic Highways are a unique component of the circulation system as they traverse areas of unusual scenic or aesthetic value that are not typical of other areas in Riverside County. The intent of these policies is to conserve significant scenic resources along scenic highways for future generations and to manage development along scenic highways and corridors so that it will not detract from the area's natural characteristics. As shown on Figure 9, Scenic Highways, three highways within the Southwest planning area have been nominated for Scenic Highway status. The portions of Interstate 215 and State Route 79 South that pass through the Southwest planning area are Eligible Scenic Highways. Interstate 215 provides the traveler with panoramic views of agricultural lands and mountain backdrops. State Route 79 South offers views as diverse as adjacent rural horse ranches in Rancho California and distant views of Palomar Mountain. Interstate 15 is designated as an Eligible State Scenic Highway as well because of distinct rural scenes in Murrieta, nearby and distant mountain views, and linkage to San Diego County’s system of scenic routes.
The purpose of the California Scenic Highways program, which was established in 1963, is to A
protect scenic highway corridors from change which would diminish the aesthetic value of lands adjacent to highways. @
County of Riverside General Plan Amendment No. 960 48 Public Review Draft March 2014 Policies: SWAP 19.1 Protect the scenic highways in the Southwest planning area from change that would diminish the aesthetic value of adjacent properties in accordance with the Scenic Corridors sections of the General Plan Land Use, Multipurpose Open Space, and Circulation Elements.
The population and employment of Riverside County are expected to significantly increase over the next twenty years. The Community and
Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) was established to evaluate the need and the opportunities for the development of new or expanded transportation corridors in western Riverside County to accommodate the increased growth and preserve quality of life. These corridors include a range of transportation options such as highways or transit, and are developed with careful consideration for potential impacts to habitat requirements, land use plans, and public infrastructure. CETAP has identified three four priority corridors for the movement of people and goods: Banning/Beaumont
to Temecula
Corridor ,
Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore, and Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County Corridor and Riverside County - Orange County Corridor . The Banning/Beaumont
to Temecula CETAP Corridor passes through the Southwest planning area. This corridor could accommodate a number of transportation options, including vehicular traffic and high occupancy vehicle lanes.
SWAP 20.1 Accommodate the Banning/Beaumont
to
Temecula CETAP Corridor in accordance with the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process section of the General Plan Circulation Element.
The Southwest planning area contains a variety of open spaces that serve a multitude of functions, hence the open space label of Amulti-purpose.@ The point is that open space is really a part of the public infrastructure and should have the capability of serving a variety of needs and diversity of users. The Southwest planning area open space system is highly rich and varied, including such features as the Agua Tibia and the Santa Margarita Mountain ranges; Murrieta, Warm Springs, and Santa Gertrudis Creeks; the richly diverse Santa Margarita River; and numerous mountains, hills, and slopes that provide open space, habitat, and recreation spaces. These quality spaces encompass a variety of habitats including riparian corridors, vernal pools, oak woodlands, chaparral habitats, groves, vineyards, and agricultural fields, as well as a number of parks and recreation areas.
