Riverside County Will Grow -- But Not As A 'Wall of Stucco'
Riverside County, California's adopts its new growth plan, which is one of the nation's most ambitious.
"The plan calls for creating a 500,000-acre reserve system that would protect 146 species, from majestic bald eagles to delicate butterflies and tiny kangaroo rats. The county already has purchased about 370,000 acres and will need to buy the remaining land from willing sellers, leaving about 130,000 acres yet to be acquired.

The county will pay about $1 billion, more than half of which will come developer fees..."
