Assisted living center approved
The Glen Ivy Senior Living development was approved at the Sept. 21 meeting of the Riverside County Planning Commission.
The project will have 109 assisted living units, 32 memory care living units (for a total of 141 assisted living units), and 75 independent living units on approximately 10 acres at the southwest corner of Temescal Canyon Road and Trilogy Parkway.
There is no timeline for the project. Now that the property is entitled, owner Ben Day looks to sell it to a developer who specializes in senior living and assisted care projects.

Assisted living center hearing on Aug. 17 Planning agenda
Property owner Ben Day is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to build an assisted living center on the southwest corner of Trilogy Parkway and Temescal Canyon Road.
The project involves the development of a senior community with 109 assisted living units, 32 memory care living units (for a total of 141 assisted living units), and 75 independent living units on approximately 10 acres.
A Planning Commission public hearing will be held Wednesday, Aug. 17. In the meantime, public comments were accepted through Friday, June 17 for the project’s Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (sort of a mini-environmental impact report.) Comments for the Aug. 17 public hearing can be emailed to county Planner Russell Brady, rbrady@rivco.org.
The project’s Initial Study shows that any significant impacts the development might have on the environment can be minimized with the implementation of mitigation measures.

Facility also will offer independent living units
Joel Morse of T&B Planning presented plans at the January meeting of the Temescal Valley Municipal Advisory Council meeting for an assisted and independent living facility at the southwest corner of Trilogy Parkway and Temescal Canyon Road.
Representing property owner Ben Day, Morse said the Glen Ivy Senior Living apartment development to be built on the almost 10-acre parcel would have 75 independent living units, 112 assisted living units and 32 memory care units. The apartments offered would include studios and one and two bedrooms. An operator is yet to be named.
An additional nine feet of property fronting Temescal Canyon Road will be dedicated as right-of-way. The development will have four entrances, two on Trilogy Parkway and two on Temescal Canyon Road.
On Trilogy Parkway, one entrance will have full turning movements; the other entrance, which is closest to Temescal Canyon Road, will be limited to right in and right out. On Temescal Canyon Road, the entrance closest to Trilogy Parkway will be limited to right in and right out only; the entrance furthest from Trilogy Parkway may be either full movement or right in/right out — no final determination has been reached.
According to Morse, half-width road improvements will be made to Temescal Canyon Road, with improvements to Trilogy Parkway being limited to sidewalk, parkway and median improvements to provide for turning movements.
Morse said Glen Ivy Senior Living will create housing and care facilities for Temescal Valley’s aging senior population. It’s estimated the development will generate 712 trips per day, fewer trips and less traffic than residential or commercial land uses of the property. It also will create 180 new jobs in the valley. Additionally, the project will contribute about $88,000 to the county’s Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee program.
Morse explained county approval of the project will only require granting a conditional use permit (CUP), because the proposed development is compatible with the property’s current land use and zoning designations.
He said they anticipate a public hearing before the county Planning Commission in the second quarter of this year. After the date of the hearing is announced, public comments on the project can be submitted to the Planning Commission by email. The public also can comment in person at the hearing.

Assisted living facility could be coming to Temescal Valley
Joel Morse of T&B Planning presented plans at a recent meeting of the We Are Temescal Valley Development Committee for an assisted and independent living facility at the southwest corner of Trilogy Parkway and Temescal Canyon Road.
Representing property owner Ben Day, Morse said the development is in the planning stages and even the name, “Glen Ivy Senior Community,” could be changed.
He said the almost 10-acre parcel would have 6 acres of residential housing — 70 assisted living units and 400 independent living units. Another 2.5 acres would be used for open space and parking, with the final 1.1 acre – the corner lot – devoted to commercial use within a 5,000-square-foot building. The residential buildings are expected to be at least two stories.
An additional nine feet of property fronting Temescal Canyon Road will be dedicated as right of way. The development will have four entrances and three exits.
Morse explained county approval of the project will only require granting a conditional use permit (CUP), because the proposed development is compatible with the property’s current land use and zoning designations. He said they hope to be able to file the CUP application with the county in four to six months and a presentation will be made at a Temescal Valley Municipal Advisory Council meeting prior to the filing.
