Overhaul of the Foundation General Plan Amendment (FGPA) process
Riverside County
Summary
The county proposes scrapping the eight-year application cycle, disbanding the citizen advisory committee, and letting developers seek foundation changes any time — with new eligibility questions and a longer window to submit a real project. Rural communities fear it opens the door to constant developer pressure; the building industry backs it.

Impact analysis
Noticing costs are paid by applicants; the county cites a state housing obligation of 40,000 units for the cycle.
Property owners and developers gain year-round access to foundation changes and a longer runway to submit projects.
Rural communities like Sky Valley, Wine Country, and Mead Valley say they'd face perpetual fights against developer applications with weakened public input.
