The Riverside County Planning Commission held a regular meeting on July 30, 2025, at 9:00 AM, focusing on several key agenda items, including a zoning change and a public use permit for a new school campus.
The meeting commenced with a presentation regarding a proposed change of zone aimed at aligning a property with the Temecula Valley Wine Country Community Plan. Following the presentation, the Commission opened the floor for questions. The applicant did not provide a separate presentation, and there were no public comments on the item. After confirming the absence of public speakers, the Commission proceeded to close the public hearing.
Commission members expressed their support for the zoning change, emphasizing its role in achieving consistency with the community plan. A motion was made to adopt the staff's recommendations, which was seconded and subsequently approved unanimously.
The meeting then transitioned to new items, specifically public use permit number 2,001. Project planner Heidi Aguirre introduced the proposal for the construction and operation of the new Temecula Valley Charter School Campus, which is designed to accommodate 900 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Prior to the staff presentation, a commissioner disclosed an ex parte communication with the applicant and their representative, discussing project details, including traffic flow and building design, without expressing any opinions or discussing the matter with fellow commissioners.
The meeting highlighted the Commission's commitment to community planning and development, with a focus on educational infrastructure in the region. Further discussions and decisions regarding the school campus proposal are anticipated in future meetings.
