This change in zoning will create a huge increase in traffic and congestion. Most people who have moved out did so to get away from town traffic and congestion.

Driving down the value of high-end multi-million$ homes by introducing condos and apartment buildings within a stone’s throw is irresponsible growth /financially hurts and devastates the residents that already live and own homes within a 1 mile radius of the proposed construction area. The financial impact such as heavier snow removal costs up on the bench will be costly to all residents—also increased taxes, more traffic in single home neighborhoods, taking on another city’s-worth of expenses

I moved here in 1989 to get away from the busy city I was living in. I have a lot of animals and if this passes we will most likely have to be told I get rid of them they are our family.. We don't need this kind of bull here in our area. I SAY NO NO NO REZONING. Leave our pieces of heaven alone.

My husband and I built our home specifically in a rural horse area. We do not wish to see our neighborhood re-zoned to allow for subdivision housing!

There should not be tract housing in this area. We also do not have the infrastructure for the traffic. It will also take away the appeal of the rural wine country area to tourism.

This area does not have infrastructure to support this level of housing density. It's also a hire fire zone. We can't have egress delays during a hazard like a wild fire. This project cannot happen without major infrastructure improvements.

My husband and just moved to this beautiful area. We bought approx 5 acres with a very old home and we love it. The views, the air, the peace and quiet, and most importantly the space. We absolutely love it. We wanted all our lives to live rural. We finally got the opportunity and our wish us to keep this area rural for our future generations. To keep the traffic and congestion in town. Apartments and condos should stay in town.

Please keep this rural area rural. The natural landscapes are a refuge to the wildlife that keeps getting pushed farther and farther east by tract homes.

This is a rural/agricultural area. It is zoned that way and should remain that way.

As a Sage resident, I oppose this development. Yet another project that stands to erase the agricultural roots of the area and upend the very reason many of us, even those closer to town, moved here for. Indeed, many of us still work the land for a living. Quick reminder, Hemet is adding 28,000 tract homes. And where are the jobs?? Because they're not here! Put residents first, not developers!

The roads in this area — Sage Road and De Portola Road — were never built to handle the traffic that comes with high-density development at this scale. No one has shown that the existing infrastructure can support it, and approving a General Plan Amendment before those questions are answered is irresponsible.
This is also a rural community, and the people who bought property here did so because it's rural. Dropping high-density housing and mixed-use zoning into the middle of it doesn't just change the land — it changes the entire character of the area for everyone already here.
Fire safety is another serious concern. With Riverside County's newly updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps released in March 2025, this area deserves extra scrutiny — not up-zoning that brings more people into a higher-risk environment without addressing evacuation and emergency access.
Finally, at the April 14th Director's Hearing, only one district representative supported this amendment. One opposed and two were neutral. That lack of support should tell you something.
I urge the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to deny GPA240053.

Keep the condos, apartments, and townhomes out of the country. They belong in the city, not out here. It will disrupt all the animals on the ranches and farms out here. Please protect our animals and our lifestyle. If we wanted to live in the city, we would have moved there. But we wanted away from all of that, that’s why we moved out this way. Keep it country!

Completely against more housing being built. This town has been ruined by over population. Temecula is no longer known for the beautiful peaceful town it used to be.
