The Thermal Ranch Specific Plan, approved by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on December 16, 2025, is a large-scale mixed-use development located in the unincorporated Thermal area of the East Coachella Valley. The project involves a comprehensive General Plan Amendment and a Change of Zone to reclassify properties from A-2-10 and W-2 to a Specific Plan designation. The development scope is extensive, encompassing a 223-acre equestrian center with 75,000 square feet of retail and 10,000 square feet of office space, 1,362 single-family and multi-family residential units across 324.2 acres, a 320-space RV park on 22.8 acres, a 150-key hotel on 8.1 acres, and over 200,000 square feet of retail commercial space on 25.6 acres. Managed by the Riverside County Planning Department, the project has undergone environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared, resulting in the adoption of specific mitigation measures and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure compliance. The project site is specifically situated east of Harrison Street and south of Ave 62 in the community of Thermal.
