Feasibility Study for Pechanga Multi-Use Retail/ Commercial/ Entertainment/ Lodging/ Residential Property on the 215 Freeway

Preliminary design and feasibility study to determine the most effective method to build a multi-use Retail/Commercial/Entertainment/Lodging/Residential project on western boundary of the 215 Freeway. This required conferring with the county planning director to determine the theme and design that best fit the future goals of the county for that area. This included recommending that Pechanga purchase adjacent land to allow the theme and plan wanted by the county. Developed three alternative methods to get entitlements for the proposed project which included (1) CUP (most risky but least costly in time and money), (2) Zone Change and General Plan Amendment (less risky but more time and money required), and (3) Specific Plan (the least risky but the most time and money required).
