DISCUSSION
On March 6, 1980, the County of Riverside (“County”) approved and filed Parcel Map 12618, which included a public street dedication for public street purposes of Lots B, C and D as a portion of the south half of Fullerton Road (“Map 12618 Dedication”). This offer of dedication was not accepted by Riverside County on the Map at the time of recordation.
On October 31, 1988, the County approved and filed Parcel Map 22824 which included a dedication for public street purposes of Lots B, C, and D as a portion of the south half of Fullerton Road (“Map 22824 Dedication”). The Map 22824 Dedication was accepted by the County on the Map with respect to title to the Map 22824 Dedication but stated that the road would not become part of the County Maintained Road System until accepted pursuant to Section 941 of the Streets and Highways Code.
The above-referenced offers of dedication are on the south side of Fullerton Road between Washington Avenue and Douglas Avenue (“Dedication Areas”). The City incorporated in 1991 and accordingly the subject street automatically transferred to the City pursuant to Government Code Section 57329.
As a result of the City’s incorporation, the Dedication Areas are within the City of Murrieta. Furthermore, the City of Murrieta has been maintaining the portions of Fullerton Road in the Dedication Areas.
Staff recommends that both the Map 12618 Dedication and the Map 22824 Dedication be confirmed as accepted by the City and incorporated into the City’s road system.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will continue to be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of Dedication Areas of Fullerton Street. Sufficient funding for maintenance in the street maintenance budget is available in the FY 2025/26 Operating Budget.
