D.R. Horton Model Home Tour

Recently, I had the opportunity to tour several new homes being built by housing developer D.R. Horton in Fontana. We saw homes similar to the next phase being proposed as part of the Paradise Knolls housing development located on Limonite Avenue and Downey Street. If you haven’t been by the Limonite site recently, I encourage you to take a look. The current phase, which Richmond American Homes is constructing, is well underway, and homes are selling fast. Stay tuned for more updates as future phases of this project continue to move forward.

Patrol Leads to Five Arrests

The Jurupa Valley POP Team and Special Enforcement Team conducted a high saturation patrol in areas deemed "high crime." During the saturation patrol, five subjects were arrested. All subjects were wanted fugitives from the County of Riverside.

Pedley Rd./Granite Hill Dr. RV Removal

The Jurupa Valley POP Team located a caravan of RVs trespassing on a dirt lot near the intersection of Pedley Road and Granite Hill Drive. Upon contacting the subjects, it was determined the unsheltered individuals were looking for a location to establish an encampment. Outreach services were offered through Path of Life Ministries. All subjects declined services. The subjects were informed they could not park or set up camp and were removed from the location.

Canal St./Kenwood St. RV Removal

The POP Team located an RV without visible license plates illegally parked in the area of Canal Street and Kenwood Street. The RV was surrounded by large amounts of rubbish, was missing several doors, and had broken windows. The RV could not be secured due to the missing doors and broken windows. Deputies gave several verbal commands to determine if anyone was inside the RV. A safety sweep was conducted, and two subjects were located inside. A records check determined that one subject was a wanted fugitive for possession of stolen property. The RV did not belong to either of the subjects and with assistance from the traffic team, the RV was removed from the location. The POP Team is coordinating with City staff to remove the remaining trash.

City Council Meeting Highlight

March 18, 2022


Study Session: Rubidoux Commerce Park

The City Council held a study session on March 18, 2022, introducing Rubidoux Commerce Park, Master Application No. 17132 - a proposed 1.2 million square foot industrial warehouse project, located north of 28th Street and the Union Pacific Railroad, southwest of 25th Street, and northwest of Avalon Street.

The project includes the development of an 81.3-acre site consisting of four parcels. The project proposes to develop an industrial complex and related site improvements, including landscape, parking, circulation, community garden, and infrastructure facilities, and includes the following:  

  • Building 1: The proposed use of Building 1 is a warehouse and distribution center or light industrial for a future tenant. The building size is 1,261,952 sq. ft., consisting of 20,000 sq. ft. of office space and 1,241,952 sq. ft. of warehouse space
  • Building 2: Building 2 is proposed on the 2.5-acre site containing the existing commercial buildings, which would be demolished and replaced with a 37,454 sq. ft. industrial building consisting of 4,000 sq. ft. of office space and 33,454 sq. ft. of the warehouse.
    • Alternatively, the developer has offered to provide this property and the existing facility to the City of Jurupa Valley as a community center. This option would be included as part of the Development Agreement. 

Below is the proposed landscape plan and renderings of Building 1.

Public Hearing: Rezoning

The City Council held a public hearing and adopted an ordinance approving a Change of Zone. The Change of Zone rezoned land Use Area 13, consisting of approximately 44 combined acres located north of the Santa Ana River and east of Crest Steel from M-H (Manufacturing-Heavy) to W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Area).

Additionally, the ordinance rezoned Land Use Area 18, consisting of approximately 40 combined acres from M-SC (Manufacturing-Service Commercial) and R-A (Residential Agriculture) to W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Areas) and R-2 (Multiple-Family Dwellings) at the southeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Road.

Community Benefit Permit: Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center

The City Council approved a fee waiver for a Community Benefit Permit for Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc., located at 6405 and 6407 Dana Avenue. Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center provides therapeutic horseback riding lessons for persons with special needs, including children and adults with mental, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. The project is considered a public benefit to the community and provides a humanitarian service that increases health and overall quality of life in this community and those surrounding it.

Development Updates


The following is an update on various projects currently under review by the Community Development Department and upcoming meetings.

Project Update: Agua Mansa Commerce Park

Below is a recent aerial of the Agua Mansa Commerce Park project. The 1,026,000 sq. ft. building (Building 2) is currently under construction, and the site's grading is mostly complete. After the final map is recorded and approved, the applicant will obtain building permits to construct other industrial buildings for the site. Inspections for Building 2 have been ongoing, but the building is not yet ready for a final inspection.

New Pre Application: Limonite Ave and Wineville Ave

A new Pre-Application was submitted to the Community Development Department for a proposed Mixed-Use development on a 32.82-acre site located on the corner of Limonite Avenue and Wineville Avenue.

The mixed-use development consists of 263 units (62 single-family units and 201 townhomes), 39,450 sq. ft. common open space, and a 24,000 sq. ft. commercial center. The conceptual site plan is shown below. A Planning Commission Workshop will be scheduled at a future date to introduce the project and receive comments from the commissioners.
Proposed Mixed-Use Development

Revised Permit: General Drive Industrial Park

On March 1, 2022, a revised permit was approved for General Drive Industrial Park. The approval removed a condition that required an existing easement to relocate. However, this requirement is no longer applicable. A subsequent approval reduced the size of Building 1 and its parking area, so it no longer hinders the easement. Below is a site plan for the industrial park.

  • Crews continue to remove trash from the public right-of-way. In addition to trash, crews are also cleaning up wind-caused debris, such as palm fronds and tree branches
  • Crews continued with pothole and sidewalk repairs around the City. The majority of sidewalk repair work was in areas where concrete had been lifted and was a potential trip hazard. Crews went out and ground down the lifted areas to remove the potential hazard
