• City Council Meeting August 2026

Two big items were pulled from the agenda (*2.3 and 3.2) and are said to be slated for next month's agenda. That, in my estimation, reduced the number of newsworthy items to one, 3.1 (see below). 

The meeting started with a presentation to two local Eagle Scouts, Canyon Dannenberger and AJ Acosta of Troop 332.

  

A twist with one of the Public Comments on non-agenda items in that a proclamation was given to the Council (it's usually the other way around). 

It was recognizing the 250th year of the United States of America from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and for the service the council does for the community. 

The presenters were Malia Olsingh and Susan Lovett. Also in the photo are Malia's mother, Carrie, and little brother (I didn't get his name). 

Before getting to the key news story, let me add highlights from the Community Development Department update first.

Several projects that are in the process of being built were mentioned. 

Wildomar Crossroads (Sprouts)
The construction of the apartments has begun, but there is a delay with the commercial side of the project. 
Marriot (Townplace Suites, 102 Rooms)
This is immediately to the west of the new Kaiser medical office building. They are still in the grading part of construction and no dates were given as to when it would open, or even when we will see "vertical" construction. 
Stable Lanes (Carwash on Clinton Keith)
This is located between Barons and Starbucks. It's about 13,000sf of commercial that, at one time, was said to be the future home of an auto parts store and A Better Buzz coffee dispensary.
I asked staff if they knew which tenants were going in alongside the carwash, and there wasn't a definitive answer, but there was a drive-thru pad mentioned.

Camelia Townhomes (Palomar and Washington)
This development caused a lot of commotion back in 2017, but that was before all the low-income apartments that Sacramento started forcing into every community up and down the state. Now I'm sure people are happy to see market-rate, for-sale condos (about 163 units in a gated community). 
Reminder, these are FOR SALE units, with a price point of half a million dollars. 

The original price points, if memory serves well, were around $200K, but I asked last night, and the number being batted around at this point is closer to half a mil. 

There is serious road realignment going on there. Historically, Palomar curved into Washington around the city line with Murrieta, but that's changing.

Palomar will now be going straight into Jefferson with Washington being a T intersection. Before there is a certificate of occupancy, all the roadwork will need to be buttoned up. No timetable for that at this point. 


Tres Lagos (Phase 3)
They've done work on their drainage mitigation measures, but they don't have any other permits pending at this time.

Walmart

Building permits have not been issued. There wasn't a guesstimate of when they'd be open, but based on past statements, we can anticipate before Christmas 2027. 

Unnamed 20 Acre Park
Brief background.

In 2023 I helped spearhead the acquisition (without using general fund dollars) of twenty acres adjacent to the Windsong Valley community. The other option was for the previous owners to sell it to a developer who could have built about 80 homes (that's not taking into account "density bonuses" the state encourages). 
The twenty acres are already a quasi natural park with a loop trail, and converting it to public use would be a relatively easy lift compared to other undeveloped parkland in Wildomar. 

In short, the dollar amount necessary to open this park is far smaller than to open the 27 acre park next to Ronald Reagan Elementary School or the 11 acre park next to David A Brown Middle School. 

Ok, with that established, we've been eagerly awaiting this park's opening for well over a year, and the date keeps getting pushed back.

I don't know who to throw under the bus, so I'll lay it at the feet of the previous Wildomar city manager. A lot was going on in 2025, and dealing with the opening of this park in the promised amount of time, obviously slid off the important things to attend to list. 

I will slot myself as the key proponent of this park, even, dare I say, ahead of Bridgette Moore (who loves parks more than Spiderman loves shooting webs and traveling from building to building down city blocks. lol), but in this case, I asked my council colleagues to NOT go ahead with a temporary entrance off Gierson Ave. 

Let me back up again

The original plan was to put the entrance off of Palomar, with a secondary entrance off of an extended Gierson. That's the part that fell by the wayside. 
This is the location of the entrance and parking lot off of Palomar St.
There was an artificial urgency to get the park opened, though there weren't any contractual obligations to do so, as most of us shared the same misapprehension that there were. 

Once it was clearly established that we don't need to do a rush job trying to open this new park before it's ready, we stopped rushing.

The denouement (yes, I love 10¢ words 😁), the city will not be opening the new natural park with a temporary entrance on Gierson Ave. 
This is the dead end street of Gierson Avenue. When it's time to create this entrance to the park, it needs to be done according to the approved plans, not any temporary measures.
The original plan of the primary entrance off Palomar is back in place. There was no estimated opening date, but based on previous estimates to open that entrance, it could be September 2027, but let's wait for the official words from the Public Works department. 

Remember, when money becomes available, there are plans for a full extension of Gierson and a proper parking lot and entry point. 
When this happens, I hope that whoever is on Wildomar's city council will demand that the entrance to the newly extended Gierson be where the gate to close the park is set, and not allow for the new cul-de-sac to be an after hours hang out. 
Also in the mix was an alternate entrance off of South Pasadena St, which looks like a good spot for on street parking and another way into the park. 
Thank you to staff for coming up with this suggestion. Now, let's work to make it happen.

There are two ways to watch this city council meeting. One is on YouTube, the other is through the city's website. Both have their own advantages. The YouTube option comes with its standard player and the ability to jump throughout the video. 


The option on the city's website lets you go into the agenda and click the exact item you're looking for (no guesswork involved).

• City Council Meeting April 2026

The meeting began with a couple of proclamations (an Eagle Scout and Donate Life), an introduction of the new Fire Chief, Robert Fish, and Wildomar Battalion Chief, Shawn Burris, followed by a League of California Cities (Cal Cities) update from the Riverside County division Public Affairs Manager, Jesse Ramirez. (See meeting video at bottom of blog for full details)

There were three big takeaways from the meeting.

1) Wildomar Elementary's Stella's public comment

She spoke about the things she likes about Wildomar and Wildomar Elementary School, and then spoke about the desire to see a Wildomar Museum come to town.

Hey Historical Society, I think she's speaking your language. 

2) Community Development Update

I highlighted many of the slides from this presentation in a preview blog for this meeting. It was a somewhat shorter part of the meeting than I'd anticipated.

The presentation was about 6 minutes, and the question and answer portion was about another 6 minutes. 

I had questions regarding Walmart, Tres Lagos, and Camelia Townhomes. 

Let's Go Down The List
1) 
Walmart

Community Development Director Robert Flores went over entitlements (see video below for full exchange. Q&A begins at the 6:10 mark).

 "Entitlements are usually issued by the city and the property owner... through the entitlement that they receive, they have the ability, if the entitlement has not expired or if they meet all the conditions of approval, and they build the project in accordance with what was approved... they have the ability to build the project as approved. Unless the city revokes the permit for some reason" [04:46]


Q: On Revoking Entitlements

  • Joseph Morabito: "You had said... 'unless the city revokes for some reason'... I'm assuming that those must be extraordinary reasons?"

  • CDD: "There are particular findings we have to make... in order to revoke an entitlement; it's either that they're not complying with it, or they're not meeting the conditions of approval, or they're just not operating or using the permit as envisioned and as approved." 

  • Joseph Morabito:  "So, a preponderance of comments on a Facebook post is not enough to stop it." 

Everyone at City Hall has been watching the responses on Facebook. Personally, I've answered many different comments on Facebook, and some through email or in person meetings.

The facts since 2015 have always been that the project is a done deal. 

One that I supported then and that I support now

When I announced that Walmart was going to finally get off its derriere and use its entitlements, I was somewhat taken aback by the comments.

To keep things in perspective: The approval vote was done back when today's high school seniors were still preschoolers. 

The video below is from February 2015. This is the council discussion before the Walmart vote. It has 32 views over all that time. 


I'm one who always gives the residents the straight answers as I know them. That seems to rankle some. They think I'm not nice enough (or something). 

I'm very nice, but I'm not going to lie to you, and I have very little patience with grown adults who push misinformation, needlessly upsetting the community on social media.

It's an election year and I could play it safe, or I could be the type of elected official you want representing you. 

The one who asks questions, gets answers, and tells it to you straight... even when the answers aren't what you want to hear.

2) Camelia Townhomes (163 attached condos)

The key for the community here is when the road work will be done. When it's complete, Palomar will connect to Jefferson and Washington will T into Palomar at a traffic signal. 

No dates as to when that will occur, but it will be before Camelia is granted rights of occupancy. 

This is an image I used back in 2017. The orange circle is the location of the future T intersection. Most of the homes on the left side of the image have been built as of 2026.

3) Tres Lagos phase 3

I asked if there was going to be any further road improvements (to Catt) and though the answer was 'no', the road is already being fixed.

Though I'd have liked to have seen that done by the developer, we all know about the special status of these types of SB35 projects that can, essentially, do anything they want with no requirements for approval that every other development would face. The bad part of Catt Rd is being redone as I'm typing. 

Ok, I mean the "really bad part" from where Tres Lagos ends and the stop sign at Hidden Springs.

Rough grading has occurred, and they're looking for permit for precise grading at this point. It sounds as if the developers are still looking for funding before they can start building phase 3. 

I inquired about their perimeter wall and if they'll get it in before the next rainy season. The usual order of things starts with perimeter walls going up before the rest of the construction, but there are no timetables at this point. 


3) Wildomar Cemetery Master Plan Update: Veterans and First Responders Memorial Stakeholder Engagement Workshop

This took up the lion's share of the three-hour meeting. 

It began with a brief presentation and then the original idea was to leave the dais for the workshop before getting into deeper opinions. 

Here is the location of all the cemetery land. Pay no attention to one of those street names. 

I try to stay away from quoting my colleagues for obvious reasons, so I'll just sum up what I got from this part of the meeting and suggest that you watch this item on the video if you'd like details.

In short, all five members of the city council are interested in having an official Veterans Memorial, but the level of enthusiasm for it being part of the cemetery (currently in the gravel parking lot of the ball fields to the east), varied greatly.

Cities can have more than one such memorial in town, and though one at the cemetery isn't a bad idea, I'd rather have "The Veterans Memorial" in a high traffic area. 

I'm not sanguine about either option.

I've been to these workshops many times in the past. Both as a general member of the public and a city councilman, and I can say with a high degree of confidence after participating in the workshop that NOTHING is going to happen anytime soon.

I'd be stunned if something demonstrative happened in less than five years... even ten, for that matter.


(For the record, I left my Cheerios at home. Inside joke you'll understand if you watch the video)

If you're going to watch the complete video, the item begins at the 1:35:00 mark of the video below.

• City Council Meeting Preview April 2026

If you're interested in hearing the facts about various development projects wending their way through the Wildomar city machine, I strongly urge you to make it a point to watch the coming Community Development Department & Development Update staff presentation that will be coming in the first half of the meeting.

Your other option, one I'd suggest avoiding, is to get misinformation from people on Facebook.

Slides from the coming presentation are already available to review. Here are a few that I pulled to share. 


Phases 1 and 2 are basically complete at this point, and phase 3 isn't far behind. 

This project has caused a lot of recent consternation due to incorrect information being circulated on Facebook though it was a done deal back when Obama was still in the White House. If you'd like to hear some facts, tune in.

You can see the rooftops from the freeway as you're leaving Lake Elsinore. This is another SB 35 Low-Income housing special, where they were allowed to cram a crazy number of units into an entirely unfit spot, and the city was barred by Sacramento from having any discretionary opinions on it. 

This is going to turn into a living hell for those who live near it. 


Camelia Townhomes caused a big ruckus back in 2017. The council chambers were jammed with people (mostly from Murrieta) for both the planning commission and city council meetings. 

Link to one of many 2017 blogs covering this.
https://wildomarrap.blogspot.com/2017/08/camelia-townhouse-project-slated-for.html
Remember, these are For Sale units, not apartments of any type. 

Unless you've driven past this, it's not easy to see much movement from Wildomar Trail to this point.

This is the final slide in the deck, but this is a department update, so it won't come with public comments attached to it. If you have questions you'd like addressed by staff during this item, you can email them to the city clerk, asking her to forward them to the Community Development Department. 

jmorales@wildomar.gov

You can also send any questions to the city council members, too. My email is jmorabito@wildomar.gov.

I won't be looking for questions on Facebook, so to ensure that your questions get addressed, please use email.

There is also a consent calendar item of interest, but I imagine it'll be brought up during the Community Development Department & Development Update already mentioned.

 1.11 Parcel Map No. 36612 (Westpark Promenade) Subdivision Improvement Agreement

191 housing units that were approved well before Wildomar Rap was even a twinkle in my eye... but it's finally starting to move forward. 

Located just north of Clinton Keith on the east side of the freeway. 

Here is a link I found online that goes into more details from the developer's POV.

• City Council Meeting March 2026

Four key points from the meeting.


TOP NEWS FROM THE MEETING

  • Walmart
  • Palomar Road Widening
  • Bundy Canyon West 
  • Wildomat Trail/I-15

The Walmart Buzz

Though it's a done deal on paper, and it would be a real head scratcher if Walmart actually were playing some form of a Jedi Mind Trick here, there was still more hedging than I would have imagined. 

Go check out that part of the video; it was fun. lol

The Director noted that the city is working closely with the developer to ensure that if the project moves forward, once the wobbling stops, and the earth begins being moved, it's said to take about 18 months before they'd be open for business. 

That will include Monte Vista being upgraded, including a signal on Monte Vista for one of their entrances. 

Intersection Update: Palomar & Gruwell

There is light at the end of the tunnel for the Palomar Street and Gruwell Street intersection. Final paving is said to be in April, while Wildomar Elementary is on school break.

While utility hurdles have been a headache, the Public Works Director gave a firm update that construction is in the home stretch. 

The goal is to have the intersection open to traffic this April. For those of you currently navigating the Como Street detour, hang in there just a little longer.

I asked that the city please water Como St during the detour. For those of you who aren't familiar with Como St (that section of it anyway), it's a dirt road that more resembles a motocross track, complete with whoopdeedoos (at least, that's what it feels like when driving a Honda Fit). 

I also suggested that we consider applying some TLC (intentionally vague because I don't know the scope involved) for the "private" roads nearest the construction area once it's done.

There was some caution suggested that we don't want to set a precedent. 

My reply was for us to count how many times we've inconvenienced a private street (which are nearly all substandard to begin with), and if it's something that happens infrequently (which "infrequently" is still an overstatement when juxtaposed with the facts), let's keep that in mind, and not leave the areas in question high and dry.

Roadwork: Bundy Canyon

Don't forget that the section of Bundy Canyon west of the freeway is also slated for a much-needed resurfacing. 

This project is separate from the widening further east and is strictly aimed at fixing the deteriorating pavement to give us a smoother ride through that corridor.

Initially, it'll go from Angels Lane to Mission Trail. The part to the east of Angels Lane, to the freeway, will be the second part of the project. The portion nearest the overpass may need to be done at night to comply with Caltrans guidelines. 

Some of the roughest surfaces out there, but soon it'll be a thing of the past.
This was originally slated to be completed by the end of the fiscal year (July 1), but we were told to anticipate the first part being complete before May. 

Wildomar Trail Road Widening Saga

The Public Works team is currently in the "hopeful" stage regarding the potential widening of Wildomar Trail at the freeway.  The city is actively lobbying for a collaborative widening project that would improve the flow of traffic near the I-15 interchange.

We've been asking about this since Kaiser opened its doors. Now you know why the Bundy west resurfacing isn't waiting around for Caltrans's approvals before doing the parts we have complete control over. 

A rare daytime view when no cars are backed up at the stop sign heading east.

I asked the Public Works Director to let us know when he hears back from Caltrans, whether it's a thumbs up or a thumbs down. It's a state agency, and often, there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to their actions.

• City Council Meeting February 2026

Walmart and Bundy Canyon Rehab

The big takeaways from the February city council meeting are: Walmart is coming and Bundy Canyon is slated for rehab from Mission Trail to the Freeway, and then parts east of the previous Phase I road realignment. 

Walmart

This has been one of the longest, most interminable courtships since Ross and Rachel—complete with breakups, reconciliations, and extension after extension... and like Rachel, who almost left for Paris, Walmart is finally getting off the plane and staying in Wildomar.

At the 28-minute mark of the video, Councilwoman Bridgette Moore asked Community Development Director Robert Flores if there was an update on Walmart.

The answer was that Walmart is actively pursuing its permits and that, "We just received the final version of their grading plans [...] they're looking to begin grading in the next few weeks."

It's looking like those two will finally be tying the knot.

Based on Walmart's normal construction models, the doors will open a year after you see grading. Which prompted me to say that, based on my math, if they begin grading in the next few months, they'll be open by Summer of 2027, and we'll finally be able to buy underwear in town.

But even more important than that is the anticipated tax revenues that will be coming to the city. The original guestimate back in 2008 was that a Walmart would bring in $600K per year.

Now, let's add in all the inflation over the last 20 years, and the additional penny sales tax that the residents voted in favor of back in 2018 (Measure AA), and I think it would be safe to guess the total will be somewhere around $2,000,000 per year.

Bundy Canyon Road Rehab

Councilwoman Moore, sitting in the leadoff spot for comments, asked, "When will Bundy Canyon, from the freeway to Mission Trail, start?"

It was a very long answer, but the takeaway is that the project is anticipated to be done before the end of this fiscal year.

Which, if that's accurate, means before July 1st. 

The meeting ran for a bit more than two hours. There are other things too, of course, but that's the end of this blog. 

Cue up the meeting and take a look at the full meeting experience.

• Did Someone Say "Walmart"?

The on-again off-again courtship of Walmart and Wildomar is now to the point of sh** or get off the pot.

Walmart got approvals back in 2015, and each time that their time limit was being reached, they applied for an EOT (Extension of Time). 

These guys make cats jealous.

EOTs can't go on indefinitely, and Walmart is just a few months from the last EOT expiring, March '26, I believe it is. 

A brief history of Walmart and Wildomar

Had Walmart not been on the books back when cityhood was put on the ballot, and the anticipated sales tax revenue it would bring in, LAFCO (Local Agency Formation COmission) wouldn't have approved the petitions of WIN (Wildomar Incorporate Now) and it would never have made it to the ballot back in 2008.


Back in 2015 I reported on Walmart's official approvals from the planning commission and then the city council. 

VIDEO TO 2015 MEETING BELOW

Then the project was hit with a lawsuit, and amazingly enough, it wasn't brought by any of that era's Wildomar haters. Instead, it was by someone who would follow Walmart around and look to slow their roll whenever possible.

Eventually, that gambit ran out of legal steam, and Walmart got the green light from the courts to move forward with its approved project on Bundy, east of the freeway. 

However (there always seems to be a 'however'), by the time the legal hurdles had been cleared, as it was shared with me, their business model had morphed due to Amazon's increase in market share.

So, the project was put into mothballs. Which has long been regarded as a linchpin for development in that part of town. It's been suggested that once Walmart goes in, other development will follow in behind it. 

Through the years, as each deadline for their project approached, they would file for an EOT. Makes sense considering that they'd invested a fair amount of time and money to get it approved, and it's only a pittance to get an extension.

But as stated at the top of this blog, EOTs can't go on forever and we're now in the final few months before action must begin.

I was looking for a graphic from the recent State of the City event where Walmart was mentioned as part of future development, albeit not carved in stone.

I couldn't find the city-made graphic I had in mind, so I'll make one that is an incredible simulation (lol). 

Mickey Dee's and Starbucks are already built, waiting to be finalized on the inside. Will Walmart finally make its long anticipated groundbreaking before its project deadline comes and goes?

In addition to the legal hurdles that Walmart had to get past, they had also been conditioned to do considerable amounts of infrastructure improvements on Bundy Canyon. 

Lo and behold, those are all complete now, so that burden has been lifted off their bank account's shoulders 
—assuming they proceed, that is... lucky them. 

Hey, look, I found the city image I mentioned before. This was part of the 2025 Wildomar State of the City video. 

Wildomar Rap opinion time


Walmart has been a hot button issue for many, for a very long time, when the topic arises. 

Several Wildomar longtimers have never wanted any growth in Wildomar, I've heard them loud and clear over the years. 

REMINDER
This project, if they actually follow through, is ALREADY approved. 

A Walmart in town will make shopping convenient for all the Wildomar residents who shop at Walmart. Then there are the projected tax revenues that will come to the city. 

If memory serves, I recall hearing that a sum of about $600,000 would have come to the city in 2008 from Walmart.

On the cusp of 2026, that doesn't sound like much, but now factor in inflation, and the additional Measure A sales tax, and that figure can't be lower than $2M today.  

For those who dislike development, I don't know what to tell you, that's always been the way of the world, especially in the USA. 

For those who understand the benefits to the community that come with commercial development, this could be the tipping point in watching Wildomar's historically woeful budget issues recede further back into history. 

From my standpoint, as a member of the City Council, I will be watching any new revenues that come in like a hawk. 

The new revenues will need to be used for the benefit of the community, not the benefit of staffing at City Hall... which I'm confident that is a shared consensus by the council, and the city manager.

If Walmart doesn't come, at least this endless danse macabre will finally be over
(I think).

Below is a video I made after the January 2015 Planning Commission meeting. It's the full presentation.

Here's a link to more of the same meeting; this one is regarding public comments.

Here's the third video from that meeting, the commission comments portion. 

If you jump down to the 10:30 mark, you'll see Commissioner Stan Smith's wise words when it comes to the sales tax that would be generated by Walmart.

Last of the links... here's one to the 2019 blog covering a press release from the City of Wildomar stating that Walmart had chosen to sell their property.

• Planning Commission Meeting: April 2020

Yes it was April 1st, but I didn't hear any laughter when the Walmart representative suggested that the company might change its mind about NOT coming to town. 

"They would still like to potentially come into this location" 

After a brief staff presentation that reminded the commission of the basics of the project stemming back to 2015, the applicant's representative, Matthew Nelson, came to the podium and Chair John Lloyd went straight to the money question: Walmart isn't going into this site, correct?
"Currently? No. 

They (Walmart) would like to retain the potential option because things were already changing with the construction of the new Lake Elsinore store. Some of the dynamics changed so they'd like the opportunity to have another three years to see how the market plays out. Originally we were not going to [develop the Wildomar site] but they realized that these entitlements are very valuable and this location still has some value and they would still like to potentially come into this location."


— Matthew Nelson
From the 'Letter of Justification'
Walmart, Inc. acknowledges that it previously communicated to the City in March 2019 that this project would not be going forward and that Walmart would be marketing the project site. As the City well knows, however, the current retail market is highly tumultuous and in a constant state of change. As a result, Walmart is constantly re-evaluating existing project sites and after a preliminary assessment, there is a possibility that this project could become active again. Unfortunately, it is too early in the process for Walmart to definitively state what will happen at this location, but Walmart is requesting this extension to allow for adequate time to complete this re-evaluation. Without an extension, it is highly unlikely that Walmart would go through the time and expense to again entitle the site and the only remaining option available would be to market and ultimately sell the property.
  —from Walmart's Letter of Justification for Extension of Time
To read the full letter, use this link.

It was a 4-1 vote to grant the 3 year extension, with the lone vote against coming from Commissioner Eric Filar. 

Walmart was conditioned to do a lot of improvements on Bundy Canyon Road and Monte Vista. If they flip flop and actually choose to proceed with the 2015 plan, and if at that time the road improvements have already been completed, they'll still have to pay what was previously agreed to.
All five commissioners were in attendance, with two by way of video conferencing.
Wildomar Rap opinion time


It's their land, and this is the U.S. of A. so if they want to continue this endlessly dull dance, I don't see a way to stop them. (Can you tell that I'm more than a little skeptical and apprehensive?) 

For me, until I see a shovel in the ground, I'm not going to waste another breath on this project. It's dead and buried as far as I'm concerned. 

Hey Walmart: 

I dare you to prove me wrong!
If you'd like to read previous blogs on the Walmart saga, use the keyword 'Walmart' below. Here is a link to the 2019 Walmart press release write up.

Skip to the 7:30 mark of the video to get to the start of the Walmart item.

“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

Wildomar Rap has to conclude that W was talking about Walmart in the W. As this has long since become an endless bore.
