The Jurupa Valley Planning Commission convened on July 23, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, primarily focusing on a proposed development project and its associated requirements.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the inclusionary housing fee related to a site development permit. The applicant indicated they would opt for an in-lieu fee instead of providing on-site affordable housing. This fee is due prior to the issuance of a building permit and is calculated on a per-square-foot basis. The commission confirmed that this fee has not yet been paid.

Next, the commission addressed the topic of setback adjustments for the project. It was clarified that the adjustments, which reduced setbacks from 50 feet to 20 feet, were previously approved by the community development director and were part of a carryover from an earlier project that involved apartment construction.

The conversation then shifted to architectural and landscaping plans, with a specific inquiry about the approval process for these plans. The community development director, Joe, would oversee this approval, ensuring consistency with previously approved designs.

Following the commission's inquiries, the public hearing was opened. The applicant, represented by Ferris Hall from Albert A. Webb Associates, expressed gratitude for the staff's efforts and welcomed any questions from the commissioners.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the procedural steps necessary for the development project, including the financial obligations related to affordable housing and the adherence to previously established site planning standards. The commission's discussions set the stage for further evaluations and approvals as the project progresses.
