Riverside County project delays signal construction on Old Temescal and State Street

The Planning and Housing Commission meeting held on June 23, 2025, in Corona City focused on key infrastructure developments and their implications for local projects. A significant discussion centered around the Riverside County second project, which is currently on hold. Commission members sought clarity on how this delay might affect the conditions of approval for related infrastructure, specifically the traffic signals planned for Old Temescal and State Street.

Officials confirmed that the delay of the second project would not impact the construction of necessary infrastructure. Regardless of the project's status, the developer is still required to complete the construction of Shadow Valley Road, which is essential for the first project to proceed. This road will continue through the unapproved project area, ensuring that traffic flow remains uninterrupted.

Another important topic addressed was the sewer upgrades initially approved in 2014. It was reported that while sewer improvements for the Bel Air area have been completed and are currently benefiting residents, the necessary upgrades for the Montelebo development have not yet been installed. This distinction highlights the ongoing infrastructure challenges faced by the community, even as some improvements have been made.

The meeting underscored the importance of infrastructure planning in relation to development projects, emphasizing that certain requirements must be met regardless of project timelines. As the commission moves forward, the focus will remain on ensuring that essential services and infrastructure are in place to support the community's growth.
