Commission told county will assume March JPA land-use authority; large hearing expected in late April or early May
Summary
Planning staff told the commission the county will take over land-use authority for the March JPA by July 1; commissioners were warned to expect a substantial hearing (general plan amendment, March ordinance, and resolution) tentatively scheduled for April 23 or May 7.
The planning director reported to the Riverside County Planning Commission on March 5 that the county will assume land-use authority for the March Joint Powers Authority (March JPA) territory by July 1 and that the commission should expect to hear several substantial items related to that transfer.
The director said the county will bring a large staff report before the commission—likely in late April or early May—covering a general plan amendment to incorporate the March territory, an ordinance (referred to in staff remarks as ordinance number "3 48" in the transcript), and a resolution needed because March adopted projects by resolution. Staff emphasized that the package will be sizeable and that the commission will see projects from the March area plan under county procedures once the transfer is complete.
No formal action on the March JPA transfer was taken at the March 5 meeting; the report was informational. Staff gave two tentative dates for the possible hearing: April 23 or May 7. Commissioners made no substantive comments during the report and no public testimony was recorded on this item during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will prepare the detailed staff report and schedule the formal hearing; dates were tentative and the commission will receive formal notice when the hearing is posted.
