Title

Rome Hill Commercial Project

Description

The proposed Rome Hill Commercial Project would develop the 6.77-acre project site with two (2) new commercial manufacturing warehouses with office space totaling 92,760 sq. ft. The project is proposed to be developed in two (2) phases. Building 1 is proposed as Phase 1, which will consist of a 46,276 square foot (SF) building with the intended use of commercial manufacturing. There will be two 60-foot (ft.) long loading docks at the rear of the building on the east and west sides of the building. Building 2 will constitute Phase 2 and will consist of a 46,484 SF commercial warehouse. The buildings will be two-story, unrefrigerated warehouse structures with mezzanines and offices. The project also includes ample landscaping along Grand Avenue. This includes trees placed at the entrance of the new development and for additional visual diversity to the street frontage. A large number of trees are proposed throughout the site (adding diverse color and shade to the tenant parking areas. In addition, a wide variety of drought-tolerant plant materials have been selected to create a lush outdoor environment while minimizing the amount of water consumption. The property is a long rectangular lot that fronts directly on Grand Avenue and will take access from Grand Avenue. The project will also involve off-site driveway access from the adjacent property (APN: 371-150-001) located within the County of Riverside to provide adequate access to the rear of the property. The project is requesting the following entitlement approvals: a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2022-01) to amend the Land Use Designation of the project site from General Commercial (GC) and High Density Residential (HDR) to Light Industrial (LI); Zone Change (ZC 2022-02) to change the zoning from Commercial Park (C-P) and High Density Residential (R-3) to Commercial Manufacturing (C-M); Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2022-17) to establish outdoor storage; Commercial Design Review (CDR 2022-012) to construct two (2) new commercial manufacturing warehouses with office space totaling 92,760 sq. ft.; and a Variance (VAR 2025-08) to reduce the required front yard setback from 15 ft. to 6 ft. due to site constraints.
