Calimesa City Council approves Mesa Verde Specific Plan — 3,650 homes + 4M sq ft industrial
After decades of planning and multiple versions of the proposed Mesa Verde community, the Calimesa City Council approved a revised plan on September 21, 2026 that keeps 3,650 homes while adding about 4 million square feet of industrial development, new commercial opportunities, smaller residential lots, and additional road and emergency-access improvements on a 1,493-acre property.
“After decades of planning and multiple versions of the proposed Mesa Verde community, the Calimesa City Council approved a revised plan Monday, Sept. 21 that keeps 3,650 homes while adding about 4 million square feet of industrial development, new commercial opportunities, smaller residential lots and additional road and emergency-access improvements.”
Why it matters: This is the single most significant development in Calimesa's history — 3,650 new homes plus 4 million square feet of industrial space on 1,493 acres represents a massive long-term pipeline of new rooftops and commercial buildings that will need solar-ready design and battery storage from the outset.
