Present Land Use
The present land use of the Project Site is an existing roadway. The Proposed Project is located within the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCC SP) Area, and has a General Plan land use of PVCC SP and a zoning designation of Perris Valley Commerce Center General Industrial (PVCC - GI) to the east and north of Nandina Avenue, and Perris Valley Commerce Center Light Industrial (PVCC - LI) to the south of Nandina Avenue following the southbound lane of Western Way to Harley Knox Boulevard.
Document Description
The Project includes the widening of the Western Way right-of-way (ROW) from Van Buren Boulevard to Harley Knox Boulevard (approximately 0.5-mile) with four 12-foot wide through lanes, including left turning lanes at the intersection of Nandina Avenue and Western Way. The Project would install new sidewalks and a retaining wall as well as relocate traffic signals, streetlights, crosswalks, ADA compliant ramps, sidewalks, and curb and gutter within the ROW. Some utilities within the ROW would also be relocated as part of the widening. Financing for the design and ROW acquisition would come from local funds.
