One of the key components of the Wine Country Community Plan is the review and revision of the existing Design Guidelines. This will ensure it provides the necessary guidance toward accomplishing a common vision for this unique community.

The adoption of the Wine Country Community Plan Streetscapes Design Guidelines by the Board of Supervisors will be considered on December 14, 2010. This Design Guidelines revision is limited to streetscapes design guidance and signage program for the Rancho California Road, and to a smaller degree, on De Portola Road.

County Ordinance No. 348 was drafted in the 1940’s. The effort being undertaken is the first comprehensive update in 70 years. In December 20, 1948 the County had only two zones: U (University) and M-3 for everything else.

Over time the County’s zoning ordinance (Ordinance No. 348) grew to include a number of zones, presently containing 39 zoning classifications. Ordinance No. 348 went through numerous band aid amendments that addressed the rural and agricultural nature of the County without a cohesive pattern for development.

The County Planning Department has undertaken the innovative task of updating our land use ordinance to create a modern and user-friendly document that will provide clear direction across the development community for the next generation of land planning in the County of Riverside.
