most streets are lined with gravel trails Besides the new Farmer Boys restaurant near the freeway the community has few local businesses other than gas stations But that sacred line in the dirt — where warehouse development ends and rural living begins — could soon be blurred Riverside County leaders are reviewing a dozen requests that would rezone portions of rural residential land in Mead Valley to create more space for industrial warehouses (Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times) County leaders are reviewing a dozen requests that would rezone portions of rural residential land in Mead Valley to create more space for industrial use Developers are seeking to expand warehouse development beyond the established industrial zone — at least one proposal would result in the demolition of dozens of homes as well as dedicated open space bringing the potential for warehouses and their 24/7 noise and exhaust to the outskirts of existing neighborhoods fundamentally altering residents’ lifestyles who represents the district that includes Mead Valley said he has “deep concerns” about the proposed changes He described drawing a “big red rectangle” over Mead Valley’s industrial zone indicating where he believed the boundaries of warehouse development should remain “All the low-hanging easy parcels for warehousing are pretty much all spoken for deep-pockets developers now see opportunities to try and propose to go beyond the boundaries that have been put in place for decades,” said Jeffries who is retiring after 12 years on the board “It’s going to be a challenge if they cross that line and start marching into what you might call Mead Valley proper You start moving up that way — when or where does it stop?” Resident Karla Cervantes expressed similar concerns raise their children and sheep on two acres in Mead Valley She worries that neighborhoods will start falling like dominoes as more rural residential land is rezoned for industrial use “Once one neighborhood is surrounded by warehouses and then it creeps up more and more and more,” Cervantes said The county’s general plan amendment process a largely bureaucratic zoning review that the county undertakes every eight years could prove pivotal for residents of Mead Valley this year: Will leaders green-light the proposed zoning changes paving the way for more warehouses — and with them more jobs and revenue flowing into county coffers Or is this the moment that the rapid-fire proliferation of distribution centers stretching for miles in each direction along the 215 corridor finally slows Riverside County’s unique rezoning process is the result of a more than two-decade-old settlement with the conservation group Endangered Habitats League which sued the county in 2003 over concerns about sprawling development The settlement “resulted in a way to slow-roll development in the rural areas of the county,” county Planning Director John Hildebrand said The process was designed to provide county leaders with the opportunity to take a comprehensive look at rezoning proposals and “look at the bigger picture instead of piecemealing it,” said Dan Silver chief executive of the Endangered Habitats League Mead Valley, a majority-Latino community of about 20,500 people, has 2,000 square feet of warehouses per person, including existing and approved warehouses and those under environmental review, according to a data analysis by Susan Phillips, director of the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability at Pitzer College an adjunct professor and data scientist at the college That’s one of the highest warehouse-to-resident ratios in the Inland Empire And the rezoning applications that developers have submitted would add more than 1,000 additional acres of warehouse projects many developers have already positioned themselves as “property owners” of large parcels by getting enough homeowners to agree to sell their land contingent upon the county’s approval of the zoning changes The Planning Commission has so far heard three zoning-change requests for District 1 which includes Mead Valley; several were continued to future meetings the developers must return to get approval for specific projects One developer, Hillwood is seeking a zoning change to build a million-square-foot warehouse on about 65 acres of land just west of Mead Valley’s industrial corridor Currently known as the Cajalco Commerce Center, the proposed development would require the demolition of 26 homes and a commercial building. The developer has promised an estimated 974 jobs, as well as infrastructure improvements and landscaping along a main thoroughfare, according to the project’s draft environmental impact report It would have a “significant and unavoidable” impact on air quality and transportation Paz Treviño lives on the outskirts of Mead Valley’s industrial corridor on a two-acre lot where he sells heavy construction equipment He has agreed to sell his property to Hillwood for $3 million and with the money he stands to make from selling his land he hopes to buy five or 10 acres elsewhere A member of Mead Valley’s Municipal Advisory Council Treviño supports allowing more industrial development bring jobs to a community where fewer than 8% of residents have a bachelor’s degree He’s heard concerns about the lack of grocery stores and predicted that those amenities would come as family incomes rise “We’re going to start getting the stores that people want,” he said “But we’re not going to get those other industries — the food industries the retail industries — without first having a stabilized middle class.” He is frustrated with the antiwarehouse advocates trying to stand in the way of rezoning and believes that landowners such as himself should be able to profit handsomely from their investments “It’s the landowners that have the last say A warehouse development under construction in Mead Valley Shanowa De La Cruz could end up on the losing end of that equation her wife and their children moved to a five-bedroom house on one acre in Mead Valley not far from Treviño’s property about three years ago where they could raise their kids — five of six still live at home — as well as chickens That’s why most of us live over here in Mead Valley,” De La Cruz said they learned about the Cajalco Commerce Center proposal — and that some neighbors had already agreed to sell their properties to Hillwood De La Cruz said she contacted the company and got an offer that barely covered what they paid for the home presumably because the developer doesn’t need their property for the project The situation has left De La Cruz between a warehouse and a hard place: The developer would need to pay a “substantial” amount of money to get her family to move But if she stays and the proposal is approved infringing on their privacy and tanking their home’s value “It’s going to be one of those houses that is in between a warehouse” development declined to comment on De La Cruz’s situation “We’re bringing something to the community that is needed and wanted by the community,” he said Mead Valley resident Raymond Torres says it’s “heartbreaking” to imagine the open space near his home converted for industrial development Raymond Torres moved away from the “hustle and bustle” of the San Diego area more than 20 years ago and eventually built two homes on a quiet street in Mead Valley Across the street from his property is open space where he says he regularly sees owls and kangaroo rats among the grasses and native plants His neighbors ride horses on the land; he prefers to traverse it on wheels — by dirt bike The property directly across the street from him is not proposed for rezoning, but a large swath of open land surrounding it is. The real estate and investment firm Deca has proposed rezoning 648.5 gross acres from rural residential to community development, with a mix of residential, commercial and industrial components, according to Travis Duncan, Deca’s vice president of development. “Additionally, we intend to set aside a substantial portion of the property as open space and are excited about the mix of commerce and conservation that the project offers,” Duncan said. Torres said it’s “heartbreaking” to imagine the land being used for development. “It’s our neighborhood,” he said. “We have pride in it.” California The Superior Court ruling raises broader questions about the rigor of San Bernardino County’s process for approving industrial warehouse projects which have become a mainstay of the county’s economy The Deca proposal would also bring industrial development much closer to the home of Cervantes and Pacheco Their two-lane street already has become a truck bypass They are concerned that warehouses will beget warehouses Mead Valley is oversaturated with warehouses and semis and yet the community itself remains underinvested Mead Valley would look “amazing” if it was actually benefiting from major portions of the revenue that industrial development is generating for Riverside County Pacheco notes that the closest Target — on the other side of the freeway — is not a retail store but a massive distribution center Pacheco and Cervantes launched the Mead Valley Coalition for Clean Air to oppose warehouse expansion They see the rezoning fight as a fight for Mead Valley’s future the question is whether county leaders will rubber-stamp continued expansion of the I-215 industrial corridor and whether that line in the dirt — between industrial and rural residential — will survive But Cervantes said trying to keep Mead Valley from drowning in the shimmering sea of white warehouses often feels like an uphill battle She worries about a future with worse air quality and decreased property values and about the limited opportunities for young people growing up amid a mass logistics hub “When they look to see the sun rise,” she said “they’re going to see the sun rise on a bunch of warehouses.” This article is part of The Times’ equity reporting initiative, funded by the James Irvine Foundation, exploring the challenges facing low-income workers and the efforts being made to address California’s economic divide.

Now some residents who love their rural lifestyle are fighting these developments. Los Angeles Times reporter Rachel Plevin visited two unincorporated, rural communities — Mead Valley and Bloomington — at the center of it all more than 100 homes in Bloomington were demolished to make way for a 2 million-square-foot warehouse industrial park Some residents in the area have benefitted from the changes whose property was bought by the developer but it became a nightmare after it flooded “When the developer approached them and said ‘Would you be willing to sell your home,’ Diaz thought it was a good opportunity It's a 3800-square-foot home with a pool and views They lived in a two-acre ranch in Bloomington with horses “They found out that their home had been sold out from under them when they got a notice informing them that their rental agreement would end in 60 days And that notice came from the developer who had purchased the home,” Plevin says “It really left the family in this tough spot they didn't know if they would come home and if their home would be there.” When the development’s construction was halted several environmental and community groups filed a lawsuit alleging the project’s approval violated California environmental and housing laws ruling that there were flaws in its environmental impact report Representatives from the San Bernardino County government which unanimously voted to approve the project she says officials have argued that the warehouses bring jobs and revenue to the working-class community and promised millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements “They're offering to put in storm drains and sewers and [to] improve roads and sidewalks and street lights And these are things that are typically the role of county government But I think [the] county government would say that they listen to the community and listen to both sides and look at the environmental impact report And I think depending on who you speak with It already has 2,000 square feet of warehouse per person largely concentrated along a designated stretch of the 215 highway is that Riverside County is fielding several applications that would convert residentially-zoned areas into industrial spaces for warehousing In September, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB-98, a controversial bill that establishes new standards for warehouses It also includes rules on how far truck loading bays can be from homes It mandates they must be located at least 300 feet from property lines in areas zoned for industrial use “Residents say that's just not enough. They've been advocating for 1000 feet, which is actually what the California Air Resources Board has found is actually effective The state attorney general has recommended 1000 feet And so community residents are concerned that this 300 or 500 feet and isn't going to be helpful for residents when they're trying to fight for better health protections.” there were only labor groups that were supportive of it and several groups have pledged that they will try to clean up the law in the legislative sessions.”  Affordable housing is another issue in these Inland Empire communities The median home price in Riverside County is about $650,000 while home prices in San Bernardino County have shot up 11% this year developers that demolish housing must build two new units of affordable housing for every unit that’s been destroyed Plevin asked the Riverside County planning department about its plans to convert residential land to industrial land in the midst of a housing crisis “He was saying that these areas where they're considering changing the zoning it really is more befitting for industrial use than for residential use It might not be the best place to put in new housing So I think that's something that Inland Empire planners and city governments will have to wrestle with — how to balance the development of industrial uses with the development of affordable housing.”  The medical diagnosis used to convict a Texas death row inmate has drawn growing skepticism At least 30 others similarly convicted have been exonerated California’s Proposition 6 would end forced labor in prisons Currently incarcerated people can be required to work sometimes for pennies per hour or nothing at all Millions of square feet of online shopping warehouses are popping up in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties A developmentally disabled woman wants to marry her partner but they'll lose their medical benefits and social security if they wed FLASH SALE: Snag The OG Black Zip-Up designed by LA artist Chuy Hartman— inspired by the 24/7 service we provide to the LA community ends tonight Get the latest from KCRW in your inbox 3x a week LebTown Lebanon County’s most essential weekly read non-partisan journalism?Become a champion of local news and unlock additional benefits as a LebTown member Already a member?

chipped in 12 – all on 3-pointers and then for whatever reason we just don’t sustain it,” Central Valley coach Jason Wilson said “(CV) just made shots,” Mead coach Quantae Anderson said “I think that some of them were open and some of them were contested some self-inflicted wounds in that first half that kept that distance a little.” Gosney entered play averaging 9.4 points per game – fourth on the Bears “The score was closer than we knew it should have been – a few of my teammates were having a hard time,” Gosney said It just happened that I got open tonight.” “Keana was absolutely unbelievable tonight,” Wilson said … But she was unbelievable on both ends of the floor The Panthers played tough defense on McGaughy the 6-foot-3 top recruit in the state headed to University of Washington in the fall who leads the GSL in scoring at 17.7 points “We made (McGaughy) work for her shots,” Anderson said She made some tough turnarounds from that length and that size of hers.” “When Brynn gets two or three bodies on her our coach emphasizes just to cut to the middle and make her job easier,” Gosney said I think at times – too much of a team player if that makes sense,” Wilson said “They can’t guard her if she just kind of demanded the ball more in her spots.” 8-0) hit seven of its first eight shots and sprinted to an eight-point lead Aspyn Henry scored eight points in the

arrested last month on suspicion of killing Kurt Milosavljevic Johnson is charged with two counts of burglary and a special circumstance allegation of killing in the course of a burglary which could

another Johnson has prior convictions for burglary receiving a stolen vehicle and possession of a controlled substance A 'Ring of Fire' Loop From Sin City to the Valley of Fire and I think he would have appreciated the symbolism of this ride Northeast of Las Vegas is one of the most visually stunning state parks in the Southwest The added bonus for motorcyclists is that the park’s roads trace through the crimson landscape like slithering black mambas A ride through Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area makes for a fantastic motorized respite from the neon bustle of Vegas.  Scan QR code above or click here to view the route on REVER That’s why my staging point for this ride was Fremont Street I watched a cover band play classic rock tunes under the lights and video canopy that spans Fremont and enjoyed a variety of street performers I put a couple bottles of water and lunch in the saddlebags of my BMW R 1200 GS and mounted up.  Read all of Rider’s BMW coverage here Fremont Street is well north of the traffic and congestion of the Strip so getting out of the city was much more convenient than it would have been if I had opted for lodging at one of the mega-casinos I rode past the Mob Museum and the Neon Museum – Vegas-themed tributes that were added to my post-ride entertainment schedule.  The cruise northeast on the Las Vegas Freeway (Interstate 15) was a nice warm-up to this loop ride The muted hues and desert views were expansive as I climbed out of the neon valley There were a few floating cotton balls in the otherwise intense blue of the mid-morning Nevada sky The line where the horizon meets the sky was as crisp and sharp as I have ever seen.  I couldn’t help but imagine those red spots as flare-ups caused by the wind-carried embers of an approaching wildfire.  My first stop in the park was at the aptly named Beehives There is little doubt what all the buzz is about the Beehives are a spectacular object lesson on the artistic creativity of erosion The hives are stratified tributes to the power of wind By the time I got to the turnoff for the park’s visitor center I was fully engulfed in the figurative flames of the Valley of Fire and I have ridden extensively through the red rocks of southern Utah so I have a solid base of reference for the hue of red sandstone I bought a $10 park pass at a self-serve kiosk and rode up Mouse’s Tank Road The endgame of this beautiful ride was a short hike on The White Domes Trail where I enjoyed a drink of water and a snack and took in the majesty I am not usually a fan of out-and-back routes; however carving through the curvaceous rock formations of the park It’s only about 6 miles from the visitor center to the end of Mouse’s Tank Road so the ride through the heart of the park is short but very scenic.   See all of Rider‘s touring stories by region/state here The road follows the undulations and sinews of the red rocks I made a final stop at Elephant Rock and meandered up the trail in my Sidi boots It was well worth the wear on the soles of those expensive kicks Elephant Rock is yet another of the park’s formations that is stunningly indicative of nature’s wonders.  If this were a full daytrip rather than a through-ride I would have stopped and hiked several more of the park’s features like Arch Rock and Atlatl Rock with its Native American petroglyphs The park is deserving of more exploration than I was able to give it.  I was back in that fringe environment where red outcroppings dot the gray landscape and the occasional dwarf palm dotted the horizon and the final leg was relaxing as I traveled back from the Valley of Fire to the valley of neon this is a ride that can be made virtually year-round From the City of Sin to the Valley of Fire A crazy beautiful place – as you note it is so different than Utah Kind of like a frozen explosion or something A lot of what you are seeing is fossilized sand dunes
