Senior planner Nathan Perez told the council the proposal replaces a previously proposed industrial warehouse with multifamily housing and a self‑storage facility while maintaining a hotel and two sit‑down restaurants along Ramona Expressway. Perez said the project site is about 16.91 acres between Perris Boulevard and Redlands Avenue and that the developer added an alternative that is now before the council.

The approved plan calls for three principal components: a commercial fronting Ramona Expressway with a 107‑room, four‑story hotel and two sit‑down restaurants; a 204‑unit multifamily residential development in two four‑story buildings; and a roughly 179,000‑square‑foot self‑storage complex with about 1,079 units (1,016 climate‑controlled), RV parking and a 2,000‑square‑foot caretaker unit. Staff said parking and design elements comply with applicable standards.

The council’s action included certification of the final environmental impact report and adoption of mitigation measures and findings. The staff presentation noted that all environmental impacts were reduced to less‑than‑significant levels with mitigation except for cumulative greenhouse gas emissions; the council’s packet states a statement of overriding considerations would be required to approve the project. Perez summarized that \"the concluded that all impacts have been reduced to less than significant and have been reduced to below significance level with the implementation of mitigation measures, except for impacts related to cumulative GHG, which is greenhouse gas emissions.\" (paraphrase of staff summary)

Developer Marwan Al Abbasi addressed the council, saying his team had revised the proposal in response to council feedback after an earlier hearing and added the multifamily and self‑storage components to reduce industrial uses on the site. \"We went through different alternatives, and we studied the site to see if we could accommodate what the community, what the leadership wanted,\" Al Abbasi said.

Several labor and community groups spoke in support during the public hearing, praising the developer for revising the plan and for commitments to local hire. Zach Strasser of Care California said the organization was \"overwhelmingly in support of the project,\" noting the developer’s responsiveness. Rob Ramos, a business agent for Iron Workers Local 416, said the developer committed to local hiring and skilled, trained labor. John Sisley, representing Union Plumbers, Pipefitters and Refrigeration, said he supported the change from industrial to residential and commercial uses.

Staff clarified that allowing self‑storage will require a zoning adjustment: the council approved changing the zoning for the specific project area so that the self‑storage can be considered in the business‑park/office land use context for this site only. Senior planner Perez told the council that the recommended action would not automatically allow self‑storage across the entire Perris Valley Commerce Center; other properties would still need their own approvals.

The council approved the motion to adopt the resolution and related entitlements with conditions of approval and findings. The motion was made by Councilwoman Elizabeth Vallejo and seconded by Councilman Malcolm Corona; a roll call showed Vallejo, Councilman Nava, Corona, Mayor Pro Tem Raab and Mayor Michael Vargas voting yes.

Project opponents did not muster a majority voice at the hearing; one letter of support from Perris Neighbors in Action was noted in the staff report. The action clears the way for the developer to advance project design and permits under the conditions adopted by the council.

Looking ahead, staff noted that one outstanding issue for the developer is the requirement to adopt the mitigation monitoring and reporting program and the statement of overriding considerations for greenhouse gases as part of project approval. Those elements are part of the council’s motion and the conditions attached to approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council - September 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Perris City Council voted 5-0 to approve a revised mixed‑use project on nearly 17 acres off Ramona Expressway that replaces a proposed industrial warehouse with multifamily housing and a self‑storage component while keeping a hotel and restaurants.","taxTitle","Perris, Riverside County, California","taxId",4294,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6427679,"Perris delays Acacia Pointe townhome approval after neighbors report dust, vibration and retaining‑wall damage",2069,5108000,7177000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5861924-9a6fa901ce892a96da1d4c5bb481fc3a&start=5108&end=7177","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5861924-9a6fa901ce892a96da1d4c5bb481fc3a/thumbnail_5108000.jpg","/articles/6427679/Perris/Riverside-County/California/Perris-delays-Acacia-Pointe-townhome-approval-after-neighbors-report-dust-vibration-and-retainingwall-damage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427679-b2ea9bb3dd04c67e607cd1b41e4bbc77/orig.mp4?Expires=1769953796&Signature=ROzSo7qtU1L1AC8~x4toB7Z1RMu44McomrwSMA81f~RE5DcvVp8ZPheLJf52zCnLwhR8pLeoLsL~g7TzqMCvBb5CLgHQ-fNCGMCD-ModI3QIK0FXjzJDX9kelQ3Bp4IHDs7pBiAQUGiTeMDyMnKoEreccfVPV6Rcd34ipnfDEWo5v3ZJ6~OSsQCbgAn~Z61ZZTepyED3K7NTvvuP6lFDNSsmSsfrzrLvMYnXLoW6ou2WhGgbvN04V3LWtuNKh~jCiSeoOTrYduk5Kpz7IMamGv6k63lQx~DFh0PkIkQh3qOf7TRrLtjqkcaK2e1JnPW1PwDlp1Gqsy5JIJzCRlqDig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perris City Council on Sept. 30 voted 5‑0 to continue consideration of the Acacia Pointe townhome project after residents raised concerns about construction dust, vibrations and apparent damage to retaining walls and other property.

D.R. Horton vice president Dan Boyd told the council the firm has worked with staff and residents, has reconfigured the project’s architecture and landscaping and had committed to removing an on‑site stockpile. Boyd said recent rain slowed remedial grading but that the developer expects the work to be completed in mid‑October and then to proceed with development plans.

Several neighbors who live along Shady Oaks Drive testified during public comment that piled material and heavy machinery have caused ongoing dust, weeks of daily vibration and visible cracks in retaining walls and fences. One resident, Sonia, said she has experienced “4 to 5 earthquake[s] nonstop” during daytime grading and expressed concern that her home’s foundation and a retaining wall have been damaged. Another resident reported rising rodent activity and repeated costs for pool cleanup tied to the exposed soil.

Senior planner Nathan Perez and the applicant said the developer had lowered the stockpile from earlier heights and that staff has been working with the applicant on dust control. Applicant Boyd said the project was on the “tail end” of remedial grading and that the remaining material will be exported off site; he estimated the work should be resolved by mid‑October.

The proposed Acacia Pointe plan would replace a long‑dormant recorded tract and introduce a gated, 141‑unit for‑sale townhome community (three‑ to four‑bedroom units, about 1,600–1,652 square feet) with a 1,500‑square‑foot clubhouse, pool, tot lot and dog park. The developer added landscaping buffers and other design changes after planning‑commission and community feedback; staff said the project meets MFR‑14 standards and parking requirements.

Councilwoman Nava said she wanted more time to ensure residents’ reports are fully documented and addressed before the council acts. Nava moved to continue the item so staff and the applicant could complete a property‑by‑property assessment of potential damage, coordinate with the neighbors on mitigation and return with responses; Councilman Malcolm Corona seconded the motion. The council approved the continuance 5‑0.

Staff and the developer acknowledged the outstanding neighborhood concerns and said they would coordinate on follow‑up: Boyd said the developer has produced before‑and‑after photos for some properties and that engineers would work with the city to assess any claims. Clarifying details discussed at the meeting included a developer statement that about 6,500 cubic yards of stockpiled material remain to be exported and that extreme weather delayed earlier removal plans. The council asked staff to add a condition or assessment step to document pre‑existing conditions and any construction‑related damage for affected homes.

The continuance postpones the ordinance introduction and final entitlements to a future meeting, giving staff and the applicant time to follow up with neighbors and with code enforcement on dust controls, grading schedules and a formal pre/post construction assessment.","City council continued the first‑reading and entitlements for a 141‑unit D.R.

Principal planner Rafael Garcia said the change implements direction council gave staff in May and aligns municipal code with the Perris Valley Commerce Center specific plan, which already prohibits warehouses in the BP designation. \"This amendment would amend the land use table in section 19.44.02,\" Garcia told the council, explaining the change removes the conditional‑use option and instead prohibits the use in the BP zone.

The proposed text amendment includes a grandfather clause: any legally established warehouses or distribution centers with a valid conditional‑use permit issued before the amendment’s adoption may continue to operate so long as the CUP remains valid and unexpired.

Franco Pacheco, representing Inland Valley Alliance and the Freight Line Communities Action Coalition, urged the council to approve the change, saying it “closes the Business Park loophole for warehousing” and helps the city keep BP land for the uses intended in the specific plan.

The planning commission unanimously recommended the amendment on Aug. 20. The council voted 5‑0 to approve the first reading of the ordinance; the motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Raab and seconded by Councilwoman Elizabeth Vallejo.

Staff said the amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and emphasized the change would not retroactively close operations already permitted under valid CUPs. The council’s action advances the ordinance to a subsequent reading and final adoption step.","The council voted 5-0 to introduce an amendment to chapter 19.44 of the Perris Municipal Code removing conditional‑use permitting as a path to place warehouses and distribution centers in the Business Park zoning district; existing, valid CUPs will remain allowed.",{"_32":99,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":100,"_40":101,"_42":102,"_44":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6427658,"Perris names Morgan Park synthetic soccer field for longtime AYSO volunteer Pedro “Pete” Magana",247,1445000,1692000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5861924-9a6fa901ce892a96da1d4c5bb481fc3a&start=1445&end=1692","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5861924-9a6fa901ce892a96da1d4c5bb481fc3a/thumbnail_1445000.jpg","/articles/6427658/Perris/Riverside-County/California/Perris-names-Morgan-Park-synthetic-soccer-field-for-longtime-AYSO-volunteer-Pedro-Pete-Magana","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427658-a120f13c7d7c4c1a80668486bf0d086d/orig.mp4?Expires=1769953796&Signature=YD01xqdn2KKPzooHsi8wME935gbIqSUCxawwpWhwyQQ~TiV~YNHrWgvjxCWtpGvDgzR8SSXAf6fbv9eHZAANFcqOkeRELqbBly4d2vIcBoU43zRyzBiI-vUbissNaSgjkj9Ib8NRHjuO8P~NxOzHJFHoiPji7GaPl0h4zuD9kIAz-KThCyWMKJQCNHqzBw63sm7lv-ZWbuS46ifsKtkYH8y6RS1Gi4hBAelEFoLuPlixG5GFcpsEV4Hsf9FkJso6ZVruTwFTUDYXqEJkt6QloSo4IxL6XeKTJE8DJACJRLZBPA376P5EYVz3wOlwvSTFZGay4FpKV13vHkP8TF7GaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perris City Council unanimously approved a proclamation and formal naming of the Morgan Park synthetic soccer field as the Pedro \"Pete\" Magana Field, recognizing more than three decades of volunteer service to youth sports in Perris.

Mayor Michael M. Vargas read the proclamation honoring Pedro \"Pete\" Magana for more than 30 years of service to Perris AYSO in roles including regional commissioner, referee administrator, field coordinator and coach. Council members presented Magana with the proclamation and a photograph opportunity with family and supporters.

Magana, who has coached multiple generations and whose family members have participated in AYSO, told the council he was surprised and grateful. \"I just thank you for this recognition. I'm usually not a man with few words, but right now, you guys just totally caught me off guard,\" Magana said, adding thanks to his wife and family and to board members who have worked with him.

Council members offered short remarks. Mayor Pro Tem Raab said naming the field after Magana recognized \"a legacy of leadership and mentorship.\" Councilman Malcolm Corona suggested the field signage emphasize Magana’s role as \"Coach Pete.\" The council also directed staff to install a bronze plaque at the park to formalize the dedication.

The naming was approved as consent calendar item 10(k). The motion to adopt the consent calendar (excluding items pulled earlier) and to include the field naming was moved by Councilman Corona and seconded by Councilwoman Elizabeth Vallejo; the roll call for the standalone vote on 10(k) recorded 5‑0 approval.

The city will schedule a dedication event and install the park plaque; staff said the plaque and naming will provide a visible, long‑term recognition for Magana’s service.","The council voted 5-0 to name Morgan Park’s synthetic soccer field after Pedro 'Pete' Magana in recognition of more than 30 years of volunteer service with Perris AYSO; a bronze plaque will be installed at the park.","actionData","errors"]
