SUMMARY:

The City Council is being asked to review and comment on the draft General Plan Goals, Policies and Actions. This includes a discussion and direction to staff on the value of restricting certain land uses in our commercial zones and along our major corridors (refer to discussion below). With the City Council’s final recommendations at tonight's study session, Staff and the GP update team will finalize the draft General Plan document and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and prepare these documents for the required 45-day public review period which staff is targeting for the end of April 2024.

DISCUSSION:

Since the City Council met to discuss the General Plan Land Use Plan and Roadway Network on July 18, 2023, City staff, the project team, the General Plan Advisory Group (GPAG) and the community have been working together to develop the draft policy direction for each element of the General Plan. The goals, policies and implementation programs (actions) submitted for Council’s review (refer to Attachment A) have been adapted from the City’s current General Plan and augmented to address comments provided by the community at our workshops and the General Plan Advisory Group (GPAG) so they incorporate best planning practices and conform to State legislation. The goals, policies and implementation programs (actions) are intended to provide the roadmap towards achieving the Vision Statement adopted by the City Council and Guiding Principles for the General Plan that were generated from public comments and confirmed by the GPAG.

Vision Statement:

The City of Wildomar will be a safe and active community with responsible growth and quality infrastructure while keeping a hometown feel.

Guiding Principles
:

Wildomar is a city that:

Provides a welcoming, safe and family-friendly environment with opportunities for healthy, self-sustaining lifestyles for all residents.

Balances responsible growth with preservation of rural character, open spaces and historical resources.
7 Protects the visual and ecological value of its natural resources.

Nurtures small businesses, attracts high-quality jobs, provides quality educational opportunities and commercial services that capture local spending and generate revenues to support Wildomar’s vision for the future.

Maintains safe roadways and high-quality pedestrian, bicycle, multi-purpose trail and transit networks.

Provides for social, physical and mental health through arts and programs, entertainment, recreational opportunities, quality infrastructure and gathering places for residents of all ages and abilities.

An initial draft of the goals, policies and actions were provided to the GPAG for their review on December 7, 2023 and discussed during their sixth (6th) meeting held on December 19, 2023.

The goals, policies and actions were then revised based on comments received from the GPAG members and published for public review on January 16, 2024, in advance of the General Plan update project’s third (3rd) citywide workshop.

At the workshop, which was hosted on January 23, 2024 in an open house format, community members were invited to speak with neighbors and members of the General Plan Update project team about the goals, policies and actions, and to provide comments in person.

Community members were also invited to submit comments to the project team via email until February 1, 2024. The comments collected at the workshop and submitted via email are summarized in Attachment B.

Planning Commission Study Session Summary:

The draft goals, policies and actions were revised to address those comments and were presented to the Planning Commission at their study session held on February 28, 2024. The Commission was very supportive of the draft goals, policies and action programs and did not request any changes to what was presented by the GP update team.

Economic Development and Development Code Update Strategy:

In parallel with developing the policy direction for the General Plan, City staff and the project team have been working on drafting a new Development Code, which will be adopted (following approval of the General Plan) for consistency with the General Plan and to support the City’s economic development goals and objectives. Raw, undeveloped land for commercial opportunities is now scarce in the major parts of Southern California; areas like Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego are in the process of either removing or trying to creatively reuse older projects that have lost their luster (and customers) with the passing of time and trends.

Wildomar still has several acres of prime, vacant commercial land available – and much of it is along a major freeway corridor. This gives us a unique opportunity to envision what the future of commercial/retail can look like and preserve that land for the highest and best use for 8 generations to come. Wildomar needs to consider and encourage uses that will not only entice its own residents to stay in town for entertainment, dining and experiences, but what will draw people from South Temecula, San Diego, Corona and beyond to enjoy Wildomar and add to its tax base. Similarly, as part of the new Development Code, Wildomar needs to consider, and possibly prohibit, those land uses that do not achieve these economic goals and objectives.

To inform that process, City staff and the project team will present an overview of the City’s economic development context and objectives for the Council’s consideration and discussion, particularly with respect to the commercial land use market This overview can be followed by a discussion of the City’s preferences with regards to the character and types of uses that will support our economic goals and objectives, in order to align with the General Plan vision and guide further development of the updated Development Code (Attachment C). To help support this strategy, Staff is asking for Council discussion and direction on the value of restricting certain uses in our commercial zones and along our major corridors. Refer to recommendation #3 above for specific discussion/direction items.

Grand Avenue Land Use Changes:

As part of the land use plan discussion with the Commission at their May 24, 2023 study session, the Commission decided to recommend a land use change from the current designation of Low Density Residential (LDR, 2 units/acre) to Estate Density Residential (EDR. 1 unit/2 acres) for the properties on the east side of Grand Avenue (to Murrieta Creek) from McVicar to Clinton Keith Road. The reason provided by the Commission for the recommended change is that these parcels are larger lots (some developed, some vacant) across the street from existing EDR land use lots so they should be similar. The Council at their July 18, 2023 study session meeting on the land use plan concurred with the Commission recommendation. In light of these actions, staff received a letter (Attachment E, Eileen Caballero) in December 2023 concerned that this proposed change from LDR to EDR will result in significant financial loss. In an email conversation with the real estate agent representing Ms. Caballero, it is their desire to keep the LDR land use designation. Before the general plan document and land use plan are finalized, staff would like final direction on this.

Next Steps:

After completion of the City Council study session, City staff and the project team will complete work on a draft General Plan document and finalize the draft EIR. The document is intended to be published for a 45-day public review period along with the Draft EIR at the end of April 2024. Simultaneously, Council’s direction will provide with the direction to finalize work on the new Development Code. It is Staff’s intent to hold a study session with the Planning Commission in May 2024 to discuss the Development Code.

Draft General Plan Goals, Policies and Actions
As a critical milestone in the development of Wildomar’s updated General Plan, we are pleased to publish the Plan’s draft goals, policies and implementation actions. These goals, policies and actions were adapted from the City’s current General Plan and augmented to address comments provided by the community and the General Plan Advisory Group (GPAG) , to incorporate best planning practices and to conform to State legislation. They are intended to provide the roadmap towards achieving the Vision Statement adopted by the City Council and Guiding Principles generated from public comments and confirmed by the GPAG:

Vision Statement
The City of Wildomar will be a safe and active community with responsible growth and quality infrastructure while keeping a hometown feel.

Guiding Principles
Wildomar is a city that:
- Provides a welcoming, safe and family -friendly environment with opportunities for healthy, self-sustaining lifestyles for all residents.
- Balances responsible growth with preservation of rural character, open spaces and historical resources.
- Protects the visual and ecological value of its natural resources. - Nurtures small businesses, attracts high -quality jobs, provides quality educational opportunities and commercial services that capture local spending and generate revenues to support Wildomar’s vision for the future.
- Maintains safe roadways and high -quality pedestrian, bicycle, multi- purpose trail and transit networks.
- Provides for social, physical and mental health through arts and programs, entertainment, recreational opportunities, quality infrastructure and gathering places for residents of all ages and abilities.

The goals, policies and actions in this package are organized by each element of the General Plan, including Land Use and Design, Circulation, Economic Development, Open Space and Conservation, and Recreation and Community Services. For each element, an introductory statement describes the general vision that the goals, policies and actions seek to realize. The City’s Housing and Safety Elements were updated and adopted in 2021 and will be integrated into the final General Plan document.

In reviewing this document, it is important to understand the definition of goals, policies and actions as they are commonly used in planning documents. A goal sets the general policy direction. It is an ideal future end related to public health, safety, or general welfare. A goal is a general expression of community values and, therefore, may be abstract in nature.

Consequently, a goal is generally not quantifiable or time dependent.

A policy is a specific statement that guides decision-making. It indicates a commitment of the City Council to a particular course of action. A policy is based on and helps implement a general plan’s vision.

An implementation action outlines the relevant program to implement the General Plan’s goals and policies and identifies the corresponding policies, responsible City departments, and the time frame for application. In the implementation action table, “implementation program” describes, in general terms, the nature of the implementation action. Specifics of the action item will be developed as part of the budget process. “Relevant policies” lists the General Plan policies that are implemented by this action. “Responsibility” specifies the city department with the primary responsibility for implementing the action, and in some cases may include an external agency or organization that has a secondary role with leadership provided by the city. “Timing” indicates whether the action is an effort that should happen on an ongoing basis, or as a short-, medium-, or long-range priority. Short refers to immediately following to within two years of the General Plan’s adoption, medium refers to three to five years, long to five years and longer. Ongoing refers to those actions that continue or are periodically implemented through the life of the General Plan.

12 Land Use and Design Element

Draft Goals, Policies and Actions 2/24 Page 3

Land Use and Design Element
Residents are drawn to Wildomar for its unique environment and quality of life. They value lifestyle opportunities that can only be found in few remaining areas of Southern California, with a balance between the natural environment, rural traditions, and u rban amenities of modern life. As Wildomar grows, this plan envisions a safe and active community with responsible growth and quality infrastructure while keeping a hometown feel.

Increased housing choices provide more opportunities for those who wish to join the community and for those who wish to remain in the community as they transition through the various phases of their lives. New commercial development that provides more goods and services and increases employment opportunities will decrease the need to travel to adjoining communities to meet daily needs, attract more local spending, increase prosperity and improve the City’s ability to provide services to its residents.

To maintain those aspects of the physical environment that people value about Wildomar, new developments will be designed and located to integrate into the existing character of the City.

They will be concentrated and directed to key focus areas to minimize impacts to established neighborhoods, enhance economic activity, promote walking and biking, and minimize demands on infrastructure. Designed and located appropriately, new development will enhance the City’s safety, identity, and unique character withou t harming those special qualities most treasured by residents.

GOAL 1: Administration. The General Plan is utilized as the guiding planning document for the City and as the basis for regional collaboration.

Policy 1.1: Regional Planning Efforts. Wildomar shall participate in regional efforts to address issues of mobility, transportation, traffic congestion, economic development, air and water quality, and watershed and habitat management with Riverside County, neighboring cities, local and regional agencies, stakeholders , and tribal governments.

Policy 1.2: Specific, Master and Corridor Plans . Specific, Master and Corridor Plans may be utilized to facilitate more detailed land use and planning for targeted sites or areas of the city, insofar as they are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

Policy 1.3: Development Clustering and Density Transfers. Allow development clustering and/or density transfers to preserve open space, natural resources, cultural and/or biologically sensitive resources.

Policy 1.4: Internal Consistency. All General Plan elements must be internally consistent and hold equal status. Updates to individual elements or the General Plan in its entirety, shall ensure that internal consistency is maintained between all elements. 13 Wildomar 2040 General Plan

Page 4 ends

Policy 1.5 Lot Mergers. Where lot sizes impede redevelopment opportunities, encourage merging of adjacent lots to provide sites of adequate size and dimension to allow for redevelopment.

GOAL 2: Development Capacity. Responsible growth through well-planned development provides for the needs of Wildomar’s residents and businesses, makes efficient use of land and infrastructure, protects important environmental resources, promotes the health of the community, and maintains the unique character distinguishing the city as a special place in the region.

Policy 2.1: Adequate Service Provision for New Development . Coordinate with local agencies, service providers and utilities to ensure adequate service provision for new development.

Policy 2.2: Population Density Standard. Pursuant to State law, each land use designation that provides for residential development is assigned a population density standard for the purposes of projection and infrastructure planning. These population density standards are relevant only for general planning purposes, and shall not be interpreted as constituting legal limitations on the number of persons who may reside at any particular location or parcel.

GOAL 3: Focus Areas. Unique areas of the city are enhanced to meet Residents’ needs.

Policy 3.1: Cottonwood Canyon. Encourage lot mergers consistent with the land use and zoning designations for this area to establish developable lots that meet minimum thresholds for health and safety of onsite water treatment or require new development to provide for the extension or development of full public sewerage and water services.

Policy 3.2: Sedco. Work with utility providers to improve infrastructure in the Sedco area and explore opportunities to expand the provision of public services. Explore opportunities to ensure current residents , including renters, benefit from investments in infrastructure improvements.

Policy 3.3: Old Town. Recognize Old Town as the traditional heart of Wildomar and explore opportunities to enhance the area as a center of activity reflecting the City’s heritage. Seek to leverage vacant and underutilized sites and publicly -owned parcels to activate the area with an events and community space reflecting a unique character and identity.

Policy 3.4: Hidden Springs/Wyman Road Specific Plan Area. Prior to any development within this 160 +/- acre area, require preparation of a Specific Plan and accompanying EIR for the redevelopment area generally south of Clinton Keith Road, west of I-15 14 Land Use and Design Element

Draft Goals, Policies and Actions 2/24 Page 5

freeway and east of Palomar Street that accommodates a mixed -use development reflecting a high quality of design that enhances the City’s visibility and identity, provides housing opportunities in close proximity to resources, and contributes to the City’s economic development goals. Light industrial /business park uses are permitted as long as they occupy not more than 35% of the area and are located and designed to be compatible with other uses.

Policy 3.5: Wildomar Trail/I-15 Project Area. The area bounded by the I-15 freeway, Wildomar Trail, Susan Drive and La Estrella Street is recognized as a unique economic development opportunity zone in the City and warrants a coordinated planning and development approach (such as a Specific Plan, Area Plan or Vision Plan) to maximize the potential to establish a mixed -use community that enhances the City’s visibility and identity.

Policy 3.6: Clinton Keith Corridor. Engage in an advance planning process (such as a Specific Plan, Corridor Plan or Vision Plan) to identify goals and actions to improve the economic and community development qualities of the Clinton Keith Road Corridor and ensure that uses that meet the community’s objectives are developed.

Policy 3.7 Mission Trial Corridor. Engage in an advance planning process (such as a Specific Plan, Corridor Plan or Vision Plan) to identify goals and actions to improve the economic and community development qualities of the Mission Trail Corridor.

GOAL 4: Urban Form. A city of distinct centers and corridors, surrounded by neighborhoods, and connected to a network of parks and open spaces.

Policy 4.1: Patterns and Distribution of Uses and Density. Accommodate land use development in accordance with the patterns and distribution of use and density depicted on the General Plan Land Use Plan (Figure 1 -1) to promote efficient development; reduce automobile dependence and greenhouse gas emissions; ensure compatibility among uses; enhance community livability and health; and sustain economic vitality.

Policy 4.2: Multi-Modal Linkages. Incorporate appropriate linkages for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and other non-vehicular travel modes in the design and development of projects.

Policy 4.3: Adequate Circulation Facilities. Require that adequate and accessible circulation facilities exist to meet the demands of a proposed land use.

Circulation Element
The ability to move around enables residents to get to jobs, goods, services, and education and enjoy entertainment, family, and friends. This plan envisions a city in which residents and visitors have choices about how they can travel to and from their activities. The safety, efficiency, and accessibility of all modes of transportation is paramount. Although technology is advancing rapidly, the personal automobile will continue to be the primary means by which people navigate the City. This Element ensures that Wildomar’s roadway network can accommodate automobile users in a safe and efficient manner. Non -vehicular transportation networks, like pedestrian, bicycle, and multi-purpose trail routes, will be enhanced and expanded to provide options for resident s who want to improve their physical health, minimize their environmental impact and control their transportation costs. These improvements will make for a more welcoming environment where residents engage more with each other and their surroundings.

GOAL 1: A well-connected transportation network that is safe, comfortable, efficient, and accessible by users of all ages, abilities, and modes of travel, including pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, equestrian users, transit users and movers of commercial goods.

Policy 1.1: Complete Streets. Plan, design, operate, and maintain city streets using Complete Streets1 principles for all types of transportation projects within the city including new, retrofit/reconstruction, maintenance, and ongoing projects. Repurposing unneeded roadway pavement to implement bicycle and pedestrian improvements, for example lane or road diets, should be considered as one of the tools to implement Complete Streets.

Policy 1.2: Roadway Cross Sections. Implement the updated typical roadway cross-sections displayed in this element to incorporate Complete Streets principles and help achieve mobility goals.

Policy 1.3: Local Context. Integrate Complete Streets in a manner that is sensitive to the local context recognizing that needs vary among neighborhoods and communities.

Policy 1.4: Walkable Town Center. Create a walkable town center, anchored around the Old Town core, with gathering places and trails that reflect the City of Wildomar’s unique qualities and history. Comfortable walking and bicycling connections will enhance access to the Old Town area from communities throughout the City.

1 Complete Streets are streets designed and operated to enable safe use and support mobility for all users. Those include people of all ages and abilities, regardless of whether they are traveling as drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation riders, and movers of commercial goods.
28 Circulation Element

Draft Goals, Policies and Actions 2/24 Page 19

Policy 1.5: Traffic Calming. Use traffic calming tools to assist in implementing Complete Streets principles and reducing vehicular travel speeds along Circulation Element roadways serving residential neighborhoods and schools such as Grand Avenue, Orange Street, Lemon Street, Gruwell Street, and McVicar Street and other roadways serving similar land uses. Traffic calming tools may include, but shall not be limited to, curb extensions, speed cushions, chokers/neckdowns, raised medians, narrowing lanes, rais ed crosswalks, and neighborhood traffic circles or roundabouts. The feasibility of deploying traffic calming devices shall be considered prior to increasing any posted speed limits.

Policy 1.6: Monitor Safety and Usage. Regularly monitor and evaluate Citywide safety and usage trends for all travel modes. Additionally, as new infrastructure is implemented, such as bicycle facilities, pedestrian facilities, and traffic calming measures, pre - and post -project evaluations sh ould be considered and conducted, where appropriate or warranted and when funding to conduct such evaluations is available, to better understand project benefits.

Policy 1.7: Dedications. Require developments to provide appropriate dedications to implement planned transportation infrastructure as indicated in this Circulation Element and future documents adopted by City Council.

Policy 1.8: Enhance Connectivity. When feasible, require developments to incorporate short block spacing and a strong street grid network as a means to enhance connectivity for all travel modes. Encourage the inclusion of non -motorized transportation corridors, such as paseos, promenades, and multi -use paths to improve connectivity along long blocks or non-continuous streets.

Policy 1.9: Funding. Pursue funding for multimodal infrastructure projects that promote Complete Streets, such as impact fees and local, regional, State, and federal grants.

Policy 1.10: Development Impact Fees. Regularly update the City’s Development Impact Fees (DIF) program to ensure adequate funding is allocated for the development, operation, and maintenance of the City’s transportation system across all travel modes.

GOAL 2: Pedestrian infrastructure that is safe, connected, and comfortable for users of all ages and abilities, inclusive of accessible curb ramps and sidewalks, marked crosswalks, trail connections, lighting, and pedestrian crossing features.

Policy 2.1: Pedestrian Network. Improve pedestrian safety, comfort, and connectivity throughout the City, with an emphasis on implementing the various pedestrian 29 Wildomar 2040 General Plan

Page 20 ends

route types (shown in Figure 2 -1), and connections serving schools, parks, and commercial/retail centers.

Policy 2.2: Close Connectivity Gaps. Improve pedestrian network connectivity by requiring development projects to close connectivity gaps by extending project frontage improvements to the nearest connecting sidewalk/trail, where feasible and/or where fee credit/reimbursement programs exist. Factors to be considered may include, but are not limited to: the proposed project's land use, destinations created by the project, or destinations that could be reached by occupants of the new development, the length of the gap, etc.

Policy 2.3: Local Roadway Safety Plan. Implement the Local Roadway Safety Plan (as adopted and amended from time to time) recommended projects to enhance the safety of trips made by foot to and from neighborhoods, schools, parks, retail locations, employment centers, government offices, and bus stops.

Policy 2.4: Implement Pedestrian Route Types. As adjacent parcels are developed and/or capital improvement projects are undertaken, implement the designated pedestrian route types, inclusive of the respective pedestrian route type toolkit features, where feasible.

Policy 2.5: Pedestrian Crossing Safety. Improve pedestrian crossing safety and efficiency through appropriate signal hardware and timing, installation of marked and high visibility marked crosswalks and accessible curb ramps, and other intersection design features, where relevant.

Policy 2.6: Pedestrian Visibility. Enhance pedestrian visibility by limiting parking at intersections, improving lighting at street crossings, and minimizing sidewalk obstructions.

Policy 2.7: Connections to Trailheads. Provide pedestrian connections to recreational trailheads, where feasible.

Policy 2.8: Funding. Pursue funding to implement programs that promote bicycle and pedestrian education, safety and use in schools.

Policy 2.9: Walking to School. Encourage walking as a preferred transportation mode for trips to and from elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as near-by destinations.

Policy 2.10: Pedestrian Collision Monitoring. Regularly review and monitor reports of pedestrian-involved collisions to identify potential safety issues and appropriate improvements.

Policy 3.10: Bicycle Racks. Encourage existing retailers, shops, and shopping centers to install bicycle racks. Permit the reallocation of vehicular parking space(s) to bicycle parking spaces, if supported by a parking utilization study and/or if the remaining spaces are consistent with the minimum required for the respective land use as identified in Section 17.188.030 of Wildomar’s Municipal Code.

Policy 3.11: Employer-Provided Amenities. Encourage employers to install end -of-trip amenities for bicycle riders, such as bicycle parking, maintenance stations, lockers, and/or showers.

Policy 3.12: Bicycle Safety. Regularly review and monitor reports of bicycle-involved collisions to identify potential safety issues and appropriate improvements. Explore opportunities t o improve bicycle safety through education al and/or training programs for cyclists and other roadway users.

Policy 3.13: Freeway Crossings. As properties adjacent to I-15 develop, consider the feasibility of, and potential demand for, incorporating additional freeway crossings that prioritize pedestrian and bicycle mobility.

GOAL 4: A public transportation network that allows for convenient access to major destinations, both within Wildomar and the region.

Policy 4.1: Transit Network. Work with Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and other regional partners to ensure that adequate transit service is provided consistent with future growth (shown in Figure 4-1).

Policy 4.2: Station Amenities. Coordinate with Riverside Transit Agency to focus station improvements and enhanced amenities at locations with the greatest ridership. In coordination with RTA and adjacent properties, provide secure bicycle parking options for high ridership transit stops, where feasible.

Policy 4.3: First-Mile/Last-Mile Connectivity. Encourage convenient and safe pedestrian and bicycle linkages to and from bus stops to provide better first -mile/last-mile connectivity. This includes connectivity to/from existing and new development and along streets providing access to the bus stops.

GOAL 5: Convenient and efficient vehicle circulation with minimal congestion that does not degrade pedestrian and bicycle safety, mobility, and access.

Policy 5.1: Roadway Network. Implement the planned roadway network and classification designations (as shown in Figure 5-1) through new development, redevelopment, resurfacing, and/or other capital improvement projects. This includes the new potential connections at Sunset Avenue, between Bundy Canyon Road and La 34 Circulation Element

Estrella Street, and Inland Valley Drive, between Prielipp Road and Hidden Springs Road, if feasibility is demonstrated and appropriate funding is identified.

Policy 5.2: Connect with Adjacent Jurisdictions. Work with adjacent jurisdictions to provide continuous vehicular connections to and from neighboring communities.

Policy 5.3: Roadway Cross -Sections. Ensure the implementation of the updated typical roadway cross-sections displayed in this Circulation Element (as shown in Figures 5-2 through 5-5), including the new “Rural Collector” classification.

Policy 5.4: Level of Service Threshold. Although Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) will be utilized as the traffic impact metric for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review process, Level of Service (LOS) is still a critical measure and indicator of traffic operations. LOS D shall be the threshold for all Circulation Element roadways and intersections, consistent with Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines adopted by the City Council, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer.

Policy 5.5: Vehicle Miles Travelled Threshold. All projects in the City shall be in compliance with Resolution No. 2020 -40, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) CEQA Threshold Policy Guidelines. Efforts should be made to reduce VMT by prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle travel and/or incorporating active tran sportation enhancements, to the extent feasible. Efforts to reduce VMT may not necessarily have to be implemented on-site, but rather, in coordination with city staff, off-site projects that would offset the VM T increase caused by a particular project can be identified.

Applicants/Developers would have the option to either construct the project/improvement or calculate the costs associated with the construction of the project/improvement and pay that as an in-lieu fee.

Policy 5.6: Achieve Level of Service Threshold. All development projects shall achieve the LOS threshold identified in Policy 5.4, otherwise, the City reserves the rights to request the proposed development to amend the existing designations in order to ensure roadways and intersections can adequately handle volumes of traffic generated by the development.

Policy 5.7: Evaluate Roadway Network. As development occurs, evaluate the need to designate additional roads as Circulation Element roadways, or amend existing designations, to help enhance vehicle circulation, reduce congestion, and increase connectivity throughout the City. Measures shall not come at the expense of pedestrian and/or bicycle safety, mobility, and access, unless approved by the City Engineer.

Policy 5.8: Evaluate Intersections. Evaluate intersection geometrics and treatments at the intersections of Crescent Avenue/Elberta Road and Crescent Avenue/Olive Street to improve safety and operations. This could include, but not limited to, Crescent 35 Wildomar 2040 General Plan

Policy 5.9: Connect Lake Elsinore to Interstate 15. Continue to coordinate with the City of Lake Elsinore and respective property owners in Wildomar to identify a preferred connection between Lake Elsinore and Interstate 15 via Bundy Canyon Road , or alternatives. This connection could help reduce cut -through traffic on local or Collector streets in Wildomar and capitalize on the region’s investment in Bundy Canyon Road.

Policy 5.10: Interchange Projects. Ensure that future interchange projects, such as the Bundy Canyon Road and Wildomar Trail Project Study Reports, incorporate recommended bicycle network and pedestrian route type features, to the extent possible.

Policy 5.11: Evaluate Traffic along Bundy Canyon. Evaluate local and regional traffic as development continues along the Bundy Canyon Road/Scott Road corridor to ensure adequate north -south connectivity along the corridor to facilitate expected traffic volumes and circulation and determine when improvements to proposed or potential north -south connections, as shown on the Proposed Network exhibit (as shown on Figure 5-1), are warranted.

Policy 5.12: Utilize Transportation Demand Management. Utilize Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures, where feasible, such as those identified in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)’s Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to discourage the sing le- occupant vehicle, particularly during the commute peak hours, and consider development of a comprehensive TDM Program aimed at encouraging and supporting alternative modes of transportation to reduce traffic congestion, enhance transportation efficiency, and promote sustainable transportation options. These measures include, but are not limited to, rideshare incentives, telecommuting and flexible work schedules, parking management, and incentives for employees who walk or bike to work.

Policy 5.13: Utilize Transportation System Management. Utilize Transportation System Management (TSM) measures throughout the City to ensure the circulation system is as efficient and cost effective as possible. These measures include, but are not limited to, improvements to signal coordination, transit signa l priorities, and pedestrian/bicycle prioritized signals.

Policy 5.14: Manage Curb Space. Manage curb space in activity areas to balance demands of all users such as emergency vehicles, buses, vehicle parking, bicycle/scooter parking, delivery loading/unloading, rideshare pick -up/drop-off, street furniture, electric vehicle charging stations, etc.

Open Space and Conservation Element
Wildomar has the good fortune to contain a bounty of natural resources and open spaces. It’s home to scores of native animals and plants and the habitats that nurture their lives. It is shaped by natural features from the hillsides to the valleys and water courses that give the city its unique form and character. The land also bears the remnants of people who inhabited the area in times past.

The vision for open space and conservation in Wildomar seeks to balance human activities with the integrated ecosystem of plants and animals that use the same air, water, energy, and natural resources.

The policies in this element recognize that Wildomar’s unique natural and cultural resources are irreplaceable and seeks to minimize impacts on them from the daily activities of its human inhabitants so that they can be enjoyed by subsequent generations of residents.

Draft Goals, Policies and Actions 2/24 Page 61

Recreation and Community Services Element
Parks, trails, recreation facilities and programs, and community services nurture the social, physical, and mental wellbeing of Wildomar’s residents.

People are part of nature and we thrive when we can go outdoors. Access to parks and recreational space is only part of the equation. People need the things that are best found in nature ranging from vitamins from sunlight, to stress relief found with a si mple walk. Being outdoors can rejuvenate the spirit, improve mental health, and help us sleep.

While parks and recreational facilities contribute to individual physical and mental health, public facilities, and community services such as libraries, schools, arts and cultural programs, public safety, and medical services form a city’s social backbone. Public facilities are the community’s gathering places, where people participate in local government, attend community events, recreate, obtain information, and learn about resources in the community. The City invests in the future through development of public facilities and the services they offer to the community.

The policies in this element support a vision of a network of parks and trails, enhanced recreation facilities, and vital community services that continue to support the growth, development, and healthy lifestyles of Wildomar’s current and future generations.

GOAL 1: A system of parklands and recreational open spaces that meet the needs of Wildomar’s current and future residents.

Policy 1.1: Parks Master Plan. Implement the Parks Master Plan to achieve the City’s vision for parks facilities.

Policy 1.2: Service Level Goal. Provide and maintain three (3) acres of neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 residents.

Policy 1.3: Park Demand and Evaluation. Evaluate the community's parks and recreational needs and the adequacy of the City’s recreational facilities and programs in meeting these needs.

Policy 1.4: Park Equity. Seek opportunities to develop parks in neighborhoods with the highest unmet need.

Policy 1.5: Developer Fee Contribution. Require developers to contribute fees as part of the development review process to fund parkland acquisition and improvements.

Policy 1.6: Joint Use Agreements. Collaborate with agencies and organizations such as Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) and enact joint use agreements for open spaces such as flood control channels and water recharge basins that could be used jointly for recreational purposes.
71 Wildomar 2040 General Plan

Page 62 ends

Policy 1.7: Land Acquisition. Pursue the acquisition of public and private land, to provide adequate parkland as envisioned in the Parks Master Plan.

Policy 1.8: Community Facilities District. Require new developments to be annexed into the Community Facilities District to support maintenance of open space, parkland, and trails.

GOAL 2: Parkland and recreational facilities that are safe, inclusive, and sustainable.

Policy 2.1: Siting and Design. Design new parkland and recreational facilities that are compatible with the surrounding built and natural environments, utilize sustainable best practices, and when feasible, incorporate features that reflect Wildomar’s unique attributes.

Policy 2.2: Safety Through Design. Require new parkland and recreational facilities to be designed for safety using best practices, including providing shade structures, appropriately trimmed landscaping, sufficient lighting for nighttime activities, sufficient and accessible access points , and placing community gathering features and amenities along main routes with high pedestrian traffic.

Policy 2.3: Design For Inclusiveness. Design new parkland and recreational facilities, and when feasible, retrofit existing facilities to be more inclusive for users of all ages and abilities. Examples of such design feature s include meeting and exceeding Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements, offering play equipment to accommodate people with all abilities.

GOAL 3: A network of well-designed trails that provide recreational opportunities and connect residents to the places that they desire to go.

Policy 3.1: Trails Master Plan. Implement a Trails Master Plan that builds upon the Trail Design Guidance in the Wildomar Active Transportation Plan (Figure 7-1) and includes an adopted Trails Map and specific trail design guidance appropriate for the surrounding built and/or natural environment.

Policy 3.2: Murrieta Creek Trail. Seek funding to design and build the Murrieta Creek Trail as a recreational amenity with appropriate access and safety considerations.

Policy 3.3: Equestrian Trails. Ensure that the Trails Master Plan provide some trails that support equestrian usage.

Policy 3.4: Trail Signage And Wayfinding. Require new trails to have clearly labeled signage at trailheads and informational wayfinding signage along the trails. When feasible, have wayfinding signage that shows the proximity to nearby trails.

Policy 3.5: Trail Connectivity. Prioritize new trails that offer connectivity to open spaces, other trails or active transportation facilities, and local and regional destinations. 72 Multi-Use Trail and Class I NetworkWildomar Active Transportation Plan Scott Rd

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important The safety element should be part of the plan reviewed by the citizens. Its not just the scope of the responsibility of the city of Wildomar that matters when displaying hazards. On maps include adjacent areas.

1. The legend on the SE 42 map does not include the various colors on the map. Also, Map SE 42 needs to include fire information about adjacent county and city of Lake Elsinore land. Has CAL fire evaluated these?

2. Map SE 66 (evacuation constraints) needs to include the adjacent city of Lake Elsinore and Riverside county where some of the evacuation takes place. Evacuation is not addressed in these areas.

3. Map SE 43 Wildlife zoning areas need to be included for these maps to make sense.

4. Policy S-51 Locate new public facilities outside ..does this include the electric company? I am thinking of the explosive and fire potential of battery storage. Would Policy S-79 apply?

5. Map SE 16 is not complete off of Corydon Road. Additional faults are known.

6. Map SE 18 could include a policy statement limiting housing construction in liquifaction zones

7. Map SE 30. Does the dam failure at Lake Elsinore pose a threat? If so there should be a policy statement. The size of the lake is being artificially maintained.

8. The crime assesment map needs to have an image of the extent of Wildomar on it. As printed the map is not useable. Different agencies handle crime in Murrieta and Wildomar.

Re: 22410 Grand Ave.

To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is Eileen Gonzalez Caballero and I am executor for the Mary Louise Gonzalez Estate; property located at 22410 Grand Ave., Wildomar. I am in receipt of your letter written to Philip Bradburne/Warmington Residential. We are in the process of selling the property which has been in our family for over 50 years. My parents owned this land back in the 70's before Wildomar was incorporated in 2008.

My real estate broker, Trina Gonzales explained that the City of Wildomar has plans to downzone our property along with the neighboring properties at 22300 from the required 1/2 acre minimum lot size to a 2-acre minimum lot size. We find this very disturbing, especially since no one from the city has made any attempt to speak with our family. This action represents an enormous financial loss to us and we do not agree with it. The new zoning will literally cut our value in half. Further, how do you suggest we find a suitable developer willing to build homes on 2-acre lots in our drought ridden state? I would like to ask that someone from your office contact me or advise me of who we can speak to. I will be seeking advice for our next steps.

Sincerely,
Eileen Gonzalez Caballero
