DISCUSSION
On December 13, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 23-16, approving an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Development Plan 2022-2551, and Tentative Parcel Map 2022-2549 (TPM 38310) subject to conditions of approval for the development of the real property, commonly known as Gierson Ranch, located at 25190 Washington Avenue.
On May 28, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-05 approving an exemption from CEQA and Tentative Tract Map 2023-0010 (TTM 39271), subject to the conditions of approval for the development of the property.
In order to facilitate the approval of the final map for TPM 2022-2549 (TPM 38310) by City Council, the property owner would typically complete street improvement plans for approval, enter into a street improvement agreement, and provide securities to guarantee the completion of the street improvements and monumentation placement prior to approval of the final map. The property owner is requesting the option to enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) that allows the final map to be approved by the City Council and then recorded by the County of Riverside, thereby creating the two parcels shown on the final map. The approval and recordation of the final map will then allow the property owner to sell the newly created parcels. The proposed SIA contains specific language to guarantee the submittal of street improvement plans for approval and the submittal of securities to guarantee the installation of the street improvements on both parcels created by the approval and recordation of the final map for TPM 2022-2549 (TPM 38310). The proposed SIA also contains specific language in Section 1 of the Covenants section stating, “Therefore, prior to issuance of any permits for street improvements, Property Owner shall obtain the required Security Instruments (defined in Section 14) and shall thereafter cause the Improvements to be designed, engineered, permitted and constructed.” The proposed SIA also includes the approved Conditions of Approval in Exhibit B, which contain the specific language to complete the street improvements on the full frontage of both parcels created with the approval of the final map for TPM 2022-2549 (TPM 38310), prior to any occupancy requested on either parcel.
