Workshop the Riverside County Integrated Plan (RCIP)
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File.
BACKGROUND: In eady 1999 the County of Riverside began the process of revisiting its
General Plan and attempting to integrate land use, transportation, and open spaca/endangered
species issues. The results of this procass have the potential to directly effect the quality of life
for all the residents of southwestern Riverside County. Because of the importanca of this
planning process to the City, the Council requested that they recaive a presentation on the
process. A copy of the initial public information handout, "Questions & Answers", is contained in
Attachment No. I
The first major step in the procass was to develop a vision for the future. To do this, the
consultant team and County staff polled local citizens and business interests in an effort to try to
determine what people in Western Riverside County wanted for their future, Countywide
meetings were held. The Temecula meeting was held at the Pujol Street Community Center on
June 17, 1999. Community members who attended the meeting were divided into small groups
and their preferred futures, as well as general comments and concams were recorded. This
diverse input provided the foundation for the RCIP vision statement,
The draft of the Vision Statement, was presented at a second round of community meetings.
The second community meeting in Temecula was held on October 11, 1999. At the meeting,
the draft vision statement was discussed and additional public input was encouraged. The
results of this process are contained in the second handout entitled "A Vision for the New
Century" that is contained in Attachment No. 2. A printed summary is contained in Attachment
No. 3. A detailed presentation will be made by County staff and there will be an opportunity to
ask questions during the meeting.

economy is ~e 7th largest in the world.
Reasonable estimates expect the State to add
another 18 million citizens by the ar 2020, with
much of this growth occurring in ~ rive southem
counties of San Die~, Los Angeles, Orange, San
Bernardion, and Riverside. Riverside County
alone is expected to double in population by the '~'~,.,~
year 2020.
In Riverside County alone, the Southern
Califomia .Apocia.don of Governments .p~o. jects .
ulation o the state o Iowa and larger than
the individual populations of over half of all the states in the nation. Another study by the
California Department of Finance indicates that the County wilt continue to grow to 3.5 million
by 2030 and 43 million by 2040.
Inevitably, the crush of such a population boom and the challenge of balancing the associated
to housing, transportation and economic needs with limited natural resources and the
environment becomes critical to our very surviva[ in terms of Call omia's position as a national
and world leader and the needs of Riverside County's current and future residents and
businesses.
Striking a balance among these potential competing interests has historically proven to be
elusive. Conflicts between land use and consewation, created by Ca[ifomia's growing
population have all ton often resulted in adversarial battles; usually on a project-by-project or
species-by-species basis. Accomplishments were usually small or fTagmented, and rarely
offered comprehensive, IonS~erm solutions serving broad-based interests.

consists of three overarching principles:

Riverside Counly's General Plan will be a blueprint for the County's future--and just like
the blueprints for a house, to be successful it has to take into account a number of thin
the lay of ~ land, the kind of house the owners want, building and safely codes, and ~w
~ people who live in the house will use the space.
A General Plan is the blue~nt for a County. It describes the future growth and develop-
ment within the County over the long term. It
\ · acts as a constitution for both public and private
'~ ~J.," deve(opment, the foundation upon which our
leaders will make growth and land-use related
decisions. The General Plan is meantto express
the communily's ~3als with respect to both
human4'aade and natural environments and
sets forth the policies and implementation mea-
sures to achieve them for the welfare of those
:.. who live, work, and do business in the County.
It is meant to re~ke giverside County a great
---. place to live.
The Riverside County' Get.~rat Plan is divided into eight par, s, or elements. Each element
addresses a particular issue in community devefol~nent.
The eight elements are Land Use, Circulation, '
Air Quality.
At this vet./first phase of the process--~t is important for
the people preparing the plan to know what you think.

n southern California, transportation is an economic, quatity of life and practical issue. People need to get to and

Population and employr~nt growth in Riverside County is expected to bring about traffic increases between 80°/.
and 200% on existing fFeewa fac lities in the western County and will increasingly
strain the arterial system as we~l. The transportation program is more than just a plan, it
is a multimodal effort that considers not only highway options but also looks at transit
and other forms of travel demand management.
Riverside County is home to some of the busiest transportation corridors in the nation.
Growth and the changes that go with it have the potential to cause a transportation
nightmare that could strangle our ~ onal economy and reduce our regional quality of

corridor. The final phase, closure, will resoit in decisions r~arding the

Most importantly---the public; this must be a
bottom-up process. This is what will make

A VISION FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY
SUMMARY VERSION - Revised Draft, December 3, 1999
Riverside County is a family of special communities
in a remarkable environmental setting.
By the Year 2020 ......
Riverside County is a diverse, vibrant family of communities. Each distinct community is a
focal point for educational and job opportunities. Our truly integrated approach to planning
the future ties together the preservation of critical multi-purpose open spaces, operation of
high capacity transportation corridors, and development of quality communities ranging from
urban villages to suburban neighborhoods to rural enclaves. As a result, Riverside County is
a world-class place to live, work and play.
The people of Riverside County continue our commitment to increased opportunities for
every man, woman and child. We value the diversity of our people and their communities,
preservation of our significant environmental resources, commitment to quality development,
innovative and effective methods for shaping our communities, and the power of
collaboration and partnerships that leverage our ability to get important things done.
Population Growth. Growth is focused in areas that are well served by public facilities and
services. Major transportation corridors link our communities and nearby open space
preserves help define them. It is clear what areas are to be developed and which are to be
preserved. The resulting pattern of growth concentrates development in key areas that
facilitate a diversified transportation system and broader life style choices. Land is used
efficiently. Our neighborhoods and communities operate at a human scale, and transit
systems to supplement the automobile serve them.
Our Communities and Their Neighborhoods. Your choice of communities and
neighborhoods is unlimited. From sophisticated urban villages to quality suburban
neighborhoods to casual rural enclaves, we have them all. Quality schools and their
programs are the focal points of our neighborhoods. Our older communities have matured
gracefully and we boast several new communities as well. They prove that quality of life
comes in many different forms.
Housing. Our housing choices include entry level housing for first time buyers, modest but
substantial housing for our agricultural workers, apartments serving the rental market,
seniors' housing, world class golf communities, and exclusive custom estates. You will also
find "smart" housing with the latest in built-in technology as well as refurbished historic units.
Riverside County continues to draw people who are looking for a blend of quality and value
in their housing choices.
Transportation Our transportation system has more than kept pace with the growth in
population, employment and tourism and their demands for mobility. It has also resulted in
significant reductions in congestion. New and expanded transportation corridors connect key
growth centers and link the region. Several major corridors contain transit systems and,
where transit service is not yet operating; the capacity for it is designed into the corridors.
These corridors reflect a high regard for the environment by providing critical wildlife
crossings to sustain habitat value. Our airports provide convenient worldwide connections as
a critical mobility link for the business community and the general public.
Riverside County Integrated Plan 1746 Spruce Street * Riverside, California 92507
Conservation and Open Space Resources. The preservation of our environmental
resources, recreation needs, habitat systems, and visual heritage as one comprehensive,
multi-purpose open space system draws nationwide attention. These spaces help to form
distinctive edges for many of our communities or clusters of communities. Open space is
acquired in a variety of creative and equitable ways. The needs of our priceless habitats,
capacity for all forms of recreation, and rights of property owners are carefully balanced.
Community centers, museums, and performing arts facilities reflect a commitment to cultural
resource preservation.
Air Quality. We now have clear skies despite phenomenal regional growth. Technical
advances in smog reduction from motor vehicles continue to be made, and Riverside County
industries are preeminent in these technologies. Our expanded supply of jobs reduces the
need for people here to commute outside the County. Enhanced communication systems,
increased use of transit, and focused development areas that once again make walking or
using the bicycle attractive choices help considerable in maintaining air quality. So, too, has
the County's continued influence on regional air quality strategies.
Jobs and Economy. Job growth is spectacular, exceeding the population growth to the
point where the ratio of jobs to workers is at an all time high. Our choice of jobs is quite
diversified. Clusters of new industries attract skilled labor, professionals, and executives
alike. Extensive vocational training programs, coordinated with schools and colleges, are a
constant source of opportunities for youth and workers who seek further advancement and
better career choices.
Agricultural Lands. Long a major foundation of our economy and our culture, agriculture
remains a thriving part of Riverside County. While we have lost some agriculture to other
forms of development, other lands have been converted to agriculture. We remain a major
agricultural force in California and in the global agricultural market.
Educational System. Quality education is available from pre-school through graduate
programs because our educational priorities are firmly established. Partnerships involving
private enterprise and cooperative programs between local governments and school districts
make the educational system an integral part of our communities. Cooperative use of
facilities enhances our neighborhoods through shared use of recreation space and meeting
spaces. Our students are in the top ranks within California.
Plan Integration. The coordinated planning for multi-purpose open space systems,
community enhancing land use patterns, and a diversified transportation system has paid off
handsomely. Integration of these major components of community building has resulted in a
degree of certainty and clarity of direction not commonly achieved in the face of such
dynamic change. Our General Plan provides clear direction for preservation and
development. Cities, too, benefit from this integration.
Financial Realities. Creative, yet practical financing programs provide the necessary
leverage to achieve our common aspirations. Our delivery of public services and facilities is
highly cost effective. Our people recognize and accept the fact that those who benefit must
bear a fair share of the cost of improvements. There is strong public support for our well
thought out financing initiatives.
Intergovernmental Cooperation. Our cities and other governmental agencies commonly
engage in cooperative arrangements. This way of doing public business is one of our
traditions and Riverside County is viewed as a model in this regard. People are heavily
involved in their communities and voluntary initiatives occur at a record rate.
