Mead Valley Industrial Core Overlay (GPA250010)
The county wants to draw a line around where warehouses can go in Mead Valley, capping westward industrial expansion. Residents say the line is drawn too far west, gives away land that should stay residential or rural, and skipped real environmental review. The commission couldn't evaluate the line without seeing where pending warehouse applications sit, so it punted a month.
Truck routes and AB 98 compliance
The state requires Riverside County to designate truck routes in its general plan to keep heavy trucks off residential streets and away from schools, parks, and hospitals. The county missed the January 2026 deadline and is reporting monthly to the Attorney General while it completes outreach. Residents are contesting specific routes through Mead Valley, Nuevo, and Temescal Valley.
