Lede: In a public hearing the council considered WRCOG’s updated Nexus study and fee schedule; after questions about projects that would receive funding the council voted 5–0 to adopt the associated resolution and ordinance, making the new fees effective April 1, 2025.

Nut graf: The TUMF program collects developer fees that act as matching funds for road, interchange and bridge projects across Western Riverside County. WRCOG’s updated study showed rising project costs and proposed a tiered residential fee structure tied to unit size; Jurupa Valley’s adoption will preserve the city’s access to Measure A transportation funds but increases costs for new development.

Key points from the hearing: WRCOG staff explained that the update raises the per-unit residential fee for a baseline single-family unit from roughly $10,000 to about $12,000 for an 1,800-square-foot home, with larger homes paying higher fees up to about $19,000 for much larger footprints. Commercial and industrial fees were also adjusted upward. The Nexus study and fee schedule are the product of WRCOG planning, cooperating public-works and planning directors, and regional cost-estimating.

Council members asked about consequences if a city declined to participate. Paul Toor, city staff, explained that participation is a condition of receiving Measure A regional transportation funding; the city could be exposed to funding shortfalls and would have to make up matching gaps on major projects. Council member Chris Barajas noted that the fee pool helps finance several large ongoing projects that benefit Jurupa Valley, including Market Street widening and SR-60 interchange work.

Public participation: No members of the public spoke at the hearing on the item. The formal vote followed a staff presentation of the Nexus study.

Vote and outcome: The council voted unanimously to adopt the TUMF resolution and associated ordinance adopting the WRCOG fee schedule, with the new schedule to take effect April 1, 2025. Staff said WRCOG will collect the fees at building-permit issuance.

What this means locally: The fee increase raises development costs for new housing and commercial projects and will be paid by developers when they pull permits. City officials said participation is required if Jurupa Valley wants to remain eligible for key regional transportation funding and matching dollars needed for major corridor projects.

Ending: City staff said they will work with local developers and the building community to explain how the new per-square-foot residential tiers work and how pending projects may qualify for fee locks under state procedural rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jurupa Valley City - City Council - Jan 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Jurupa Valley joined other Western Riverside cities in adopting higher Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) after a public hearing; council approved the resolution and ordinance to adopt the updated fee schedule effective April 1, 2025.","taxTitle","Jurupa Valley, Riverside County, California","taxId",3854,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696068,"Jurupa Valley residents, council press for action after prolonged SoCal Edison power outages",3216,934000,4150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171&start=934&end=4150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171/thumbnail_934000.jpg","/articles/6696068/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Jurupa-Valley-residents-council-press-for-action-after-prolonged-SoCal-Edison-power-outages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696068-8d5bd835dc2adcbefcfaca6a8884cc56/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171806&Signature=JRaLWla~olfeugmB0-TH5c3Gl5dfrB70ivgwemzETcXqr2~FaFVykeN4umTY5dqlIpdGXTbd--S6CqS4Q8-O6KA6nMFR7fFsVElCvKzJfDTrJCWWRO8tz78pAgXxyynHD1Bds107uOP3IScbWxXu8MnIRv7~siBLU8-~gj~Apr1jGg3BuuM4TvVxG~VI62hIrfgtiZHAPL~g3s9mVNbEef4MLxF6k6JMlbHvkY~faVWmUIv8hYaF0mIj85jt9GEhfrI-8uKLQGyQuEXLfuPNqQUOCDxhPChUGbrS~qPThizKr9gErmkBgi1yZ8bhfsbfZu6eavZUvq9ZVResXmF1wA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hundreds of Jurupa Valley residents described weeks of hardship after a recent round of public-safety power shutoffs and related outages during the week of Jan. 6–13, 2025, and asked the City Council on Jan. 16 to press Southern California Edison for better notice, compensation and preparedness.

The city heard repeated accounts of medical equipment going without power, spoiled medications and food, and seniors trapped without elevator access in senior housing. The most frequent requests from public commenters were for a town-hall-style meeting with Edison, a city-led program to provide or loan emergency generators for medically vulnerable residents, and formal coordination with school districts to open shelter space during long outages.

Why it matters: Residents said outages were not just an inconvenience but created public-health and economic harms — the council promised near-term action and a special session with Edison to describe what the city can and cannot do and to press for clearer compensation and notification policies.

Public comment opened the issue. Carmena Ortiz, who said she lives in Arabella Ranch, told the council: “We were without power for 6 straight days,” and said Edison “had 0 communication” until the resource center intervened. Several other residents echoed that account; speakers described spoiled medication and food, elderly tenants who could not leave buildings without elevators, and families forced to rent generators at high cost.

Council response and next steps: Mayor Brian Bergson, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Barajas and other council members said they had already been in contact with Edison and state officials in the immediate aftermath. Council members said city staff, local nonprofits and volunteer groups — particularly the Veterans of Foreign Wars post that served as a resource center — provided emergency meals and short-term relief but that the city needs a formal plan.

Council member Armando Carmona said he would ask the council to hold a special meeting “within a very short period of time” to put the outages “to the forefront of discussion so that the city can be as prepared as possible.” Mayor Bergson said the city is considering whether a state of emergency would make funds or emergency supplies available and urged residents to document their losses: “We need to find solutions. We need long-term solutions,” he said.

Council members and staff said the special session will include: Edison representatives, county and state partners, and local emergency-services leaders; an opportunity for residents to report losses that could be included in a formal letter to Edison and state regulators; and exploration of options such as regulated generator lending or targeted purchases for medically vulnerable households. The council asked staff to set the special meeting within about two weeks and to notify Edison that its attendance is expected.

What the city can (and cannot) do: Staff and council repeatedly cautioned that regulatory authority over utility de-energization decisions rests with Edison and the California Public Utilities Commission. City officials said they will press Edison and the CPUC for better notification and reimbursement procedures but that any change in utility policy will require action beyond the municipal level.

Ending: The council closed the meeting by promising follow-up. Staff said it will post meeting logistics and a form for residents to document damages; the mayor said the city will compile complaints and press for clearer Edison procedures and state-level remedies.","Public commenters described multi-day outages during a recent SoCal Edison safety shutdown; council members promised a special meeting with Edison, discussed emergency shelters and possible state-level remedies.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696051,"Council reverses Planning Commission denial for Warmington subdivision but denies two density-bonus waivers",4266,8317000,12583000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171&start=8317&end=12583","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171/thumbnail_8317000.jpg","/articles/6696051/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-reverses-Planning-Commission-denial-for-Warmington-subdivision-but-denies-two-density-bonus-waivers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696051-a9af70d45b5212bfc8203d1a541729bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171806&Signature=nV3qNXc-eMgBnGZ2XKAhTeIjtvR6ikHX0-HvLkk~COrqKxPunbO9xWDz-rgTkwtABR8DHUNE9-ksPqs-HZnJgZws0AY9s9-oyDOa59sIGOW-g3JfpezykQsYzdgWyaWTTr1wZT~kB1O56R9Lr5ICQgeOd3ai4RPaL8HdlT8pHLFIL03rSuk8VGKpcv-GCNUedurax4NyBj81cf7Ky~2cTbdf4bAnhgfWmYDBIJtRGtYyOGGUnzIQzcLeRWHZGoeD233OjRvNQIxCQt455XfKSlw400tqDN27RbD4svL6fqOaEppt~Z0TJrpIGiV9wtqO~OqmVCxf7RUeFjBrckIKig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jurupa Valley’s City Council on Jan. 16 rescinded a Planning Commission denial of a Warmington Residential application for a 67‑lot subdivision at 7586 Jurupa/Haruba Road and approved the project with limits — denying requested waivers for making all units two‑story and for certain landscape concessions.

Lede: The council voted 3–2 after a long public hearing and legal discussion about California’s density‑bonus law; the motion approved the subdivision but directed staff to deny waivers that would have allowed every house to be two stories and to relax landscape requirements.

Nut graf: The developer had sought a density bonus and many waivers under state law. City staff presented the project and an addendum to a prior mitigated negative declaration; the Planning Commission had denied the application on safety and design grounds. The developer’s attorney argued state density‑bonus protections limit local discretion to deny requested waivers. The council split, approving the development but refusing two specific waiver categories.

Project and legal context: The proposed 6.92‑acre subdivision would create 67 single‑family lots, add three common open spaces and rely on a 20% density bonus tied to providing three very‑low‑income units on site. Warmington sought one concession (partial streetscape relief on Camino Real) and 34 waivers of local development standards, including a request to allow all units to be two‑story — substantially more than the city’s usual maximum of 25% two‑story units under the zoning/traditional neighborhood standards.

Argument and public comment: The developer’s land‑use counsel said state law (Government Code section 65915) limits the city’s ability to deny density‑bonus waivers absent a documented, objective public‑health or safety finding; the state housing department (HCD) had issued advice during the review. Dozens of residents — including neighbors, school representatives and long‑time residents — urged denial, focusing primarily on traffic and safety concerns along Camino Real, where school drop‑off already chokes the corridor to one lane each way.

Council decision: After deliberation the council voted 3–2 to rescind the Planning Commission denial and approve the project but to deny the waivers relating to 100% two‑story units and certain landscape waivers (motion passed by roll call: Armando Carmona, Veronica Sanchez and Guillermo Silva voted yes; Mayor Pro Tem Chris Barajas and Mayor Brian Bergson voted no). Council directed staff to prepare the resolution and related documents to implement that outcome.

What the ruling means: The project is approved to move forward with the density bonus and many of its requested adjustments, but it must comply with the city’s limits on two‑story units (as applied by staff with the council’s direction) and with the city’s landscape standards that were not waived. The developer retains other waivers granted under the density bonus.

Ending: Staff will return with the implementing resolution and conditions; the decision may be the subject of future legal or administrative challenge given the parties’ differing readings of state density‑bonus law.","After a contested appeal, Jurupa Valley Council rescinded the Planning Commission denial of a Warmington Residential 67‑lot subdivision but voted 3–2 to approve the project while denying waivers allowing two-story units across the site and certain landscape waivers; staff will return with implementing resolutions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696058,"Jurupa Valley approves transfer of 2.75-acre Paradise Knolls park site to local parks district",205,10069000,10274000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171&start=10069&end=10274","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125733-ea562180b62cf62c92cbfbc1f2ad6171/thumbnail_10069000.jpg","/articles/6696058/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Jurupa-Valley-approves-transfer-of-275-acre-Paradise-Knolls-park-site-to-local-parks-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696058-b4f025c16e7612d47fb5ff29add9d72c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171806&Signature=bAvBMibqo0DUtheeAXmIbk4ZGKmaZMubJPBAXemt9VbiyTYa95pUAer3NgMeqs0LvpcaZEd7C5RNIW5w2pC85qn~hXrFcexgIXOB1pFIJREs8F6vqX71HEoHy7xUqCvJ4kvps94qZq7Q3OCN2tX7ICORH9Y6J0iUdW29eovdu-5Yow~c3YDgxmRYilXncPtnVIRA~nTzC7OYfyNfhpwNWQWZo26ABj8quqZlBUkilLZsTsbWyvoi7-PlBnS8YGupvR4AsnwKWmLATw7mtSp43dpOr~e1S37a2VEI-oJl4AwQEJLFScsdZHrFX6PIeQXY0gRYPzZF~5ZlxFo2VIorBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jurupa Valley council members on Jan. 16 accepted dedication of a 2.75-acre neighborhood park within the Paradise Knolls specific plan and voted to convey the parcel to the Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District (JARPD) for construction and long-term maintenance.

Lede: The council approved two companion resolutions — one accepting the dedicated park property from the developer of Paradise Knolls and a second authorizing conveyance of the site to JARPD — by a 4–1 roll-call vote.

Nut graf: The transfer implements an earlier development-agreement amendment that replaced a larger equestrian facility commitment with the smaller neighborhood park. JARPD plans a shaded tot lot, dog-run areas, a half-court basketball court, walking paths and gated entrances; developer funds already committed to the district will cover the project’s estimated construction cost.

Background and council action: The Paradise Knolls specific plan covers roughly 107 acres south of Limonite Avenue and north of the Santa Ana River. Under a 2021 amendment to the project’s development agreement, the developer agreed to dedicate a 2.75-acre park in lieu of constructing an equestrian facility. Jurupa Valley recorded an irrevocable offer of dedication in 2022; JARPD executed a conveyance agreement on Jan. 9, 2025.

JARPD and developer financing: JARPD told the council it has already received approximately $2.6 million from the developer toward park construction and expects an additional payment of roughly $2 million after closing of the adjacent planning area. The district’s plan calls for perimeter walking paths, a tot lot, dog areas and five gated entrances; the gates will allow the park to be closed at night to reduce encampment and vandalism risks.

Council discussion and vote: Council members expressed typical questions about supervision and maintenance. Colby DeWitt of JARPD explained that the parcel will be included in an existing Community Facilities District (CFD) that will fund ongoing maintenance, and that JARPD has a schedule for grading and construction to align with grading on the adjoining residential phase. The council approved the acceptance and conveyance items 4–1 (Mayor Bergson voted no). Staff said grading and construction would begin in summer 2025 in coordination with the developer’s work.

What’s next: The parcel will be transferred to JARPD and built by the district using developer funds and the CFD for maintenance. Staff will return with final documents as conveyance is completed.

Ending: Council members said they expect the new neighborhood park to provide local recreation and walking-trail links to the larger Paradise Knolls open-space network.","Council accepted the owner’s dedication of a 2.75-acre park parcel in the Paradise Knolls specific plan and conveyed the property to the Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District (JARPD).
