Upcoming Zoning Proposal Could Impact GlenOak Hills
A zoning change is under consideration that may bring commercial development to the Temecula Equestrian District (TED), an area designed to preserve the region’s rural character. On March 19, 2025, the Riverside County Planning Commission will review General Plan Amendment (GPA 240039), which proposes removing six parcels from TED to allow for a gas station, mini-mart, car wash, and hotel.
What’s Being Considered?
The Temecula Equestrian District was established in 2014 as part of the Temecula Valley Wine Country Community Plan to support equestrian and rural land uses. This proposed amendment would change zoning rules, allowing for commercial development in an area that currently does not permit it.
Potential Community Impacts
