Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perris public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Newcastle Ellis Annexations into City Districts
The Newcastle Ellis development south of Ellis Avenue was moved into the city's lighting, landscape, and public services districts — the financing machinery that keeps the new neighborhood maintained.
Construction hours near existing homes
The city is testing a new condition limiting noisy construction to 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. near existing homes — earlier than the 7-to-7 municipal code allows. Lennar pushed back, warning a three-year build could stretch an extra year; commissioners compromised on 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.
Synergy Companies expansion on Commerce Drive
Synergy Companies, an energy-efficiency contractor in Perris for 20 years, is adding a small office/dispatch building with three new full-time employees. Commissioners wrestled with design details — the yellow arch color, tree spacing near a zero lot line, and security fencing — but ultimately called it an easy yes.
