Northside Neighborhood & Pellissier Ranch Inter-Jurisdictional Specific Plan

Northside Neighborhood & Pellissier Ranch Inter-Jurisdictional Specific Plan

The Northside Specific Plan has been designed to accommodate a safe, healthy and balanced community that celebrates the history and culture of the greater Riverside area while providing recreation and open space opportunities for the region. The proposed balance of residential, commercial, employment and agriculture would be linked together through safe streets, connected trails, greenbelts and bicycle corridors. The plan also recognizes the importance of community features, and proposes to establish a Spanish Town Heritage Village; and restore and enhance Springbrook Arroyo within a new neighborhood center and expanded central park area. The landscaping and architectural details of the plan would reflect a connection with the past, from the early settlement of La Placita and the Old Spanish Trail period, to twentieth century Riverside. The Specific Plan includes the following land use categories: Medium Density Residential (MDR), Medium High Density Residential (MHDR), High Density Residential (HDR), Business/Office Park (B/OP), Commercial (C), Public Facilities and Institutional Uses (PF), Mixed Use (MU), Northside Village Center, (NVC), Freeway Mixed Use (FMU), Spanish Town Heritage Village (STHV), and Recreation Open Space, Parks, and Trails. In addition to the land use categories, a Transition Zone Overlay covers key areas along Main Street, Center Street, Orange Avenue and the City of Colton, including Pellissier Ranch and adjacent Light Industrial properties. The definitions of each land use category and the overlay are included in the Project Description attached to the Initial Study (available at the City of Riverside or online). Refer to Figure 4 for a map of the proposed Specific Plan uses.
