ZAP1003PV10 – City of Perris (Representative: Brad Eckhardt, Planning Manager)
City Case No. SPA 08-08-0004 (Specific Plan Amendment). The City proposes to adopt a comprehensive revision to the Downtown Specific Plan. The plan designates allowable land uses and densities and prescribes development standards within the 735-acre Downtown Perris area, which is located southerly/southwesterly of Interstate 215, northerly of Ellis Avenue, westerly of Redlands Avenue, and easterly of “A” Street. The existing Specific Plan was adopted in 1993 and allows for a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and public land uses at various densities. The comprehensive revision is designed around a Regulating Code that focuses on the form and placement of buildings, with the intent of developing a Transit-Oriented Community (focusing on the future Metrolink Station) with a mix of land uses at densities that support transit and meet Housing Element requirements. (Perris Valley Airport: Zones I, II, III on current map; A through E on proposed plan).
