Mesa Verde Specific Plan Area 2 Amendment 2

The Mesa Verde Specific Plan Area 2 Amendment 2 Project, managed by the City of Calimesa in Riverside County, California, involves the development of approximately 1,463 acres of undeveloped land. This project serves as an amendment to the previous Area 2 Amendment 1 and authorizes the construction of up to 3,650 residential units across various density zones, ranging from high to low residential. Additionally, the plan permits up to 4.44 million square feet of building area for a business park supporting industrial, logistics, office, and educational uses, as well as 300,000 square feet of commercial and mixed-use space. The development will also include two school sites, public and private parks, an internal trail network, and essential utility infrastructure. To support the project, off-site improvements for utility connections, fuel modification, and roadway infrastructure are required, specifically including the redevelopment and widening of County Line Road within the existing 60-foot to 80-foot right-of-way. The project received official certification via a Notice of Determination on September 21, 2026, following a Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, which concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Primary points of contact for the project include Planning Director Kelly Lucia and Vice President of Development David Graves.
