Cherry Valley general plan amendments and rural character
Riverside County
Summary
Three developer requests would rezone roughly 158 acres in Cherry Valley from agricultural/very-low-density to half-acre residential and commercial, potentially adding 160+ homes. Residents say the area's septic systems, water supply and roads can't handle it and fear losing the rural lifestyle the general plan promises. The Board only initiated the process — real decisions come in about six months.
