Developer Proposes 60 Single Family Homes Near Riverside Community College Campus

The Jurupa Valley Planning Commission meeting on August 27, 2025, focused on a proposed residential development project near the Shadow Rock community. The project aims to build 60 single-family detached homes on approximately 14.61 gross acres, with a net area of 9.67 acres after accounting for infrastructure.

The site is located southeast of Thirtieth Street and Apple Avenue and is designated for Medium Density Residential (MDR) use, allowing for 2.25 units per acre. The developer is required to secure three entitlements: a tentative tract map for the homes, a site development permit, and a density bonus application. The density bonus will enable the project to exceed the base density, allowing for 11 additional units beyond the standard 49.

The proposed homes will feature three distinct two-story designs, with footprints ranging from 1,407 to 1,650 square feet. The development will include private streets, landscaping, and stormwater basins, although it was noted that there are no recreational amenities included in the initial proposal. However, the project does plan to incorporate some recreational features.

The architectural style of the homes will reflect a mix of cottage, prairie, and farmhouse designs, utilizing neutral color palettes to create visual variety. Additionally, some floor plans will include multi-generational suites, designed as junior accessory dwelling units (ADUs) with basic kitchen facilities.

This project represents a significant step in addressing housing needs in the area, and further discussions will be held to evaluate the proposal's impact on the community and surrounding infrastructure.
