No, the planning process will not affect how parkgoers access Lake Perris State Recreation Area or the facilities or activities available. Any changes that affect the use of the park would happen gradually after the plan is adopted. No major changes will be implemented during the multi-year planning process.

The implementation of recommended projects that further the broad-based goals and guidelines provided for in the general plan are dependent upon funding and staffing availability. Following completion of the general plan, California State Parks will begin prioritizing recommended projects for implementation. As funding and staffing become available, a combination of project-specific planning, design, engineering, environmental review, permitting and/or approvals may be required to facilitate implementation of recommended projects.

An environmental impact report (EIR) is a document required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that analyzes potential environmental impacts of certain projects, including general plans for state parks. The Lake Perris SRA General Plan will establish goals, guidance, and recommendations for the future management, operation and development of the park. The accompanying EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts of the general plan's recommendations.
