Document Description
Galway Downs is an existing events facility located at 38801 Los Corralitos Road within the Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) portion of unincorporated Riverside County. The existing facility encompasses approximately 241.6 acres, and consists of a multi-faceted events facility that operates as a traditional equestrian facility the majority of the time but also hosts a variety of other activities during holidays and on the weekends. The existing facility operates under several approved Conditional Use Permits (CUPs), including CUP 001127, CUP 00966, CUP 01615, and CUP 02303. The Project Applicant (SFT Realty Galway Downs, LLC) is seeking approval of Revision No. 1 to CUP 02303 (CUP 2303Rl), a Change of Zone (CZ 22000010), and Exception No. 9 to Riverside County Noise Ordinance No. 847, approval of which would permit an expansion of special events uses at the existing facility. Revision No. 1 to Conditional Use Permit No. 2303 (CUP 2303Rl) is proposed to allow for the construction or installation of new buildings and facilities at the Galway Downs facility and to accommodate the expanded range of uses allowed pursuant to CZ 2000010. CZ 22000010 is a proposal to amend Riverside County Ordinance No. 348 in order to modify the definitions, list of uses permitted with plot plan approval, list of conditionally permitted uses, and development standards for Class II Equestrian Establishments, and to add new development standards for Lodging Facilities, Wine Country Campgrounds, and Equestrian Recreational Vehicle (RV) Parks. Exception No. 9 to Ordinance No. would authorize an exception to Subsection d. of Section 6 of Ordinance No. 847 in order to allow for periodic concerts and other events requiring sound amplifying equipment to occur on the property. Refer to the Project's Initial Study for a more detailed description of the proposed Project.
The approvals sought of Riverside County include: 1) Adoption by resolution of Revision No. 1 to Conditional Use Permit No. 2303 (CUP 2303Rl); 2) Adoption by ordinance of Change of Zone No. 2000010 (CZ 2000010); and 3) Adoption by resolution of Exception No. 9 to Riverside County Ordinance No. 847.
