Woodcrest Retail Center ("Veil Centre") — CEQA scoping underway
Riverside County is processing a roughly 61,020-square-foot retail and restaurant project — a Stater Brothers-anchored shopping center referred to locally as the "Woodcrest Veil Centre" — on 9.42 gross acres at Van Buren Boulevard and Washington Street, requiring a general plan amendment and zoning change from agricultural to commercial.
“There's no formal action being taken on this item today. The hearing is simply to "kick off the EIR process" before having to come back through the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for formal action.”
Why it matters: New commercial square footage in a growing unincorporated corridor signals rising local energy demand and an emerging market for commercial solar and battery installs as the retail center gets built out.
