Riverside County Board of Supervisors

Riverside, California

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 Tuesday to approve a plan and an environmental report for the 1,735-acre project along Winchester Road that planners say will set a precedent for future projects, requiring roads to be built before houses go up.

"I appreciated the extra work that has been done here," said Supervisor Bob Buster.  "I hope other projects will take a similar approach and try to stay ahead of the traffic."

Murrieta City Hall

Murrieta, California



The Murrieta General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) reviewed the portion of the Domenigoni-Barton Specific Plan within the City's Sphere of Influence.

The Sphere of Influence is the area beyond the City limits that may eventually be annexed.

The Specific Plan portion that is south of Scott Road and west of Winchester Road is within this Sphere of Influence.

This portion of the Specific Plan proposes commercial, residential, park, school and open space areas oriented to Scott and Winchester Roads.

The GPAC unanimously approved the Domenigoni-Barton Specific Plan land uses, and their recommendation will be forwarded to the City Planning Commission as part of the comprehensive General Plan Update.

Riverside County Planning Commission Holds Scoping Session

3 June 2004
Riverside County Administrative Center
Riverside, California

The Riverside County Planning Commission held a Scoping Session to review a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the Domenigoni-Barton Properties. The SEIR focuses on the following items:
- Project traffic impacts and mitigation
- Cumulative traffic impacts and mitigation
- Expanded analysis of project alternative "B"

In compliance with the recently adopted Highway 79 Corridor policies, the number of homes within the project have been reduced 9%. 414 homes have been removed from the plan for a new total of 4,186 homes. The Highway 79 Corridor policies reduce traffic impacts to the Winchester, Menifee, French Valleys and neighboring communities.

Planning Commission Approves Master Plan
Th
e Riverside County Planning Commission approved the Domenigoni-Barton Specific Plan No. 310 and Environmental Impact Report No. 421 with a 4-1 vote. At their fourth hearing, Planning Commissioners asked for additional information on job/housing balance, water service assurance, and traffic impact mitigation. The Project Team presented the following highlights regarding jobs/housing ratio. The project will have >1.3:1 jobs/housing ratio. This is a surplus of diverse job types and wages with 5,980 jobs forecasted at buildout and a recurring net fiscal benefit of $1.3 million to Riverside County. Relative to water supply, the Project Team showed that project-specific service is assured by Eastern Municipal Water District based on their potable supply and required mitigation measures. The Project Team also demonstrated how the project incorporated traffic projections based upon appropriate cumulative analysis. This analysis accommodated Diamond Valley Lake with the planned network. The Domenigoni-Barton Properties Specific Plan project will provide road improvements needed for each phase, and accommodates the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) corridors.

Domenigoni Valley Master Plan IT
by Ric Stephens and Mel McGowan

Domenigoni Valley is a proposed 1,700-acre master-planned community in Riverside County, California. The project will define the cutting edge of community dynamics in both physical and virtual design. The Master Plan envisions an information community linked by a local area network (LAN) and the Internet.

Information Services
Each Village home will be able to subscribe to state of the art data services:

  • Ultra fast data speeds through the LAN and modems
  • Multiple household personal computers
  • Continuous connections (no dial-up time, no busy signals)
  • Does not use phone lines
  • Minimal monthly subscription fees
  • E-mail included for each address within the Village
  • Dial-in access from elsewhere

Operations & Maintenance
DomenigoniValley.net, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) located in the Specific Plan will be owned and operated by the Association. This will provide e-mail addresses, web site hosting, and multiple high speed lines from Domenigoni Valley to the Internet backbone. Each Village will have ownership of in-street telecommunications conduit. A sub-committee will make recommendations to the Association regarding technology issues and the operation of the LAN and DomenigoniValley.net. There is likely to be one full time job at Domenigoni Valley maintaining the LAN, and another maintaining DomenigoniValley.net.

Lifestyle
Because data speeds are so high, it is anticipated that some Village residents will operate Internet businesses out of their homes.

Advanced Planning Studio Creates Design Guidelines

Summer 1999

 

 

Domenigoni-Barton Properties Specific Plan Urban Design Guidelines
Prepared by California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Advanced Planning Studio, Department of Urban and Regional Planning

During the Summer Quarter 1999, the Cal Poly Advanced Planning Studio visited the Domenigoni Ranch to consider site-specific and area-wide characteristics for developing a comprehensive urban design program. At the conclusion of the intensive studio, the students prepared a manual of design for architecture, landscape, streetscapes, signage and lighting. Much of this initial effort was eventually incorporated in the Domenigoni-Barton Properties Specific Plan.

Participants included: Chad Beckstrom, Pete Shubin, Paul Da Veiga, Bryan Yanuaria, Jorge Zarza, Michelle Hernandez, Karen Yan-Schmidt, Judith Aquino, Deanna Stamboulian Evans, Rosa Munoz, Thomas Kelly, Eric Lucini, Hani Sabboubeh, Sheila Powers, Dustin Woomer, Rami Talleh, Henry K. Noh, Steven Chang, and Adjunct Professor Richard Stephens.
