Livestock: Mead Valley vs Temecula

Unincorporated Riverside County allows livestock (horses, cattle, sheep, goats) on agriculturally zoned parcels under Ordinance 348. Typical minimums are 1 acre for the first horse or cow and 20,000 sq ft per additional animal, with setback and sanitation rules. Wine Country, Aguanga, Anza, and the Banning Pass are notable horse regions.

Livestock — horses, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs — are permitted on Temecula's Hillside Residential, Very Low Density, and Wine Country/Equestrian parcels (typically 1-acre minimum, with 5-acre standard for horses). Standard suburban residential lots and HOA-governed communities prohibit livestock. Many east-side and Wine Country parcels under Riverside County jurisdiction allow horse-keeping with corral standards.
