Looking good, Paul! 
Actually, I was thinking of flipping the whole plan, including the peninsula (extend the siding at San Jacinto to the left, curve around and out onto the peninsula from the left), but I see now that doing so would make it difficult to follow the main line around the room.
How about connecting Hemet to Perris via the industry spur in the upper right corner? That way Hemet could be a short industrial line branching out from Perris, and switching up there could be done without interfering with the yard work on the other side of the peninsula. Through freight can run around the room both ways, exchanging cars with the local at the San Jacinto yard. Of course the names will have to be changed, but the traffic pattern would be the same.
