Temecula Metrolink Station Area Plan

The City of Temecula, the Western Riverside County Organization of Governments and Compass Blueprint teamed up to look at development options and opportunities around an existing Metrolink Station. The project will facilitate the development of a future bus transit station in Temecula, providing conceptual designs for development of surrounding uses including the Murrieta Creek Recreation Basin and potential transit-oriented uses to the north. The project also includes circulation analysis focusing on future transit projects and land uses and pedestrian needs.

Goals:

• Transform an existing transit center into a transit focused mixed use hub
• Integrate rail with regional buses
• Coordinate developers with transit planning process

Local and Regional Solutions:

• Reduce off-street parking annd use shared parking strategies to reduce overall need. Emphasize pedestrian accessability
• Recomend a market analysis to fully understand denisity needs that will fullfill current needs while allowing for future growth
  
• Development incentives are recommended using various strategies such as new zoning standards or planning funding
