The Tenaja Community Services District (“TCSD”) was formed in 1985 pursuant to the Community Services District Act of California (“CSDA”), and encompasses approximately 6,400 acres of spacious rural land in the Santa Rosa Coastal Mountain Range between the City of Murrieta and the Cleveland National Forest.

   TCSD is empowered by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LSFCO) and the County of Riverside to undertake a number of local agency functions.  Currently, however, the Board of Directors is primarily involved in the improvement and maintenance of streets. Since TCSD has no land-use powers, development is subject to the Southwest Area Community Plan of the County of Riverside which requires a minimum of five (5) acres for one (1) residence.
