Rick Urban Design and Planning Group combined multiple contributions from its Engineering Division and technical consultants for this nearly 800-acre project in Riverside County, CA. Substantial Conformance to The Rancho Bella Vista Specific Plan (Number 184) was demonstrated via narrative revisions to the plan, graphic file conversion of and updates to the majority of the plan’s figures.

Sensitive biological habitat, riparian flow, drainage and detention issues, road design standards, and required community amenities were the drivers that shaped this application for County approval. The scheduled construction of County roads necessitated changes to road alignments and to the phasing of this project, resulting in the need for a Substantial Conformance Review.

At buildout Rancho Bella Vista will provide the community with a 12-acre school site, 12 acres of active parks, 29 acres of passive park, 250 acres of biological preserve, 35 acres of open space, and more than 1,800 dwelling units in a rural residential setting.
