A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TEMECULA SUPPORTING THE INTEGRITY
OF THE FRENCH VALLEY AIRPORT
WHEREAS, the French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and operated
by the County of Riverside, and;
WHEREAS, the French Valley Airport was created as the successor to the Rancho
California Airport, and;
WHEREAS, the airport facility currently handles over 80,000 operations per year, and;
WHEREAS, The beneficial economic impact of the French Valley Airport is substantial
and necessary to the continued balanced growth of the southwest area of Riverside
County, and;
WHEREAS, the County of Riverside is currently processing the French Valley Specific
Plan of land Use which will introduce residential land uses within the Extended Runway
Centerline of the French Valley Airport, and;
WHEREAS, the County of Riverside is also processing Change of Zone 6510 which
proposes to change 120 acres from industrial zoning to residential zoning thereby
eliminating a complementary airport use which would result in a loss in employment
base and cause residents to commute to work, and;
WHEREAS, The approval of these new land uses may jeopardize the continued use and
possible future expansion of the French Valley Airport, and;
WHEREAS, the proposed increases in residential uses in the vicinity of the French
Valley Airport will create future safety and noise conflicts;
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Temecula City Council is opposed to further land use
changes in the French Valley area of the unincorporated County until the adoption of the
Riverside County Integrated Plan.
