Street) offered on Parcel Map 7528 into the City’s non-maintained street system for public access related purposes.
DISCUSSION
The portion of Pettit Street, between Locust Avenue to the north City limits, is currently an unimproved road within the City’s jurisdiction but has yet to be accepted into the City’s maintained street system. In 1976, the County approved Parcel Map No. 7528 (PM 26/13- 14) and accepted all the offers of dedication except Lot B (Petit Street) into their county - maintained road system. Upon incorporation into the City in 1983, the dedicated easements in Parcel Map No. 7528 (PM 26/13-14) became part of the City’s maintained road system. However, bec ause the County did not accept Lot B (Petit St) into their maintained road system, the road was not incorporated into the City’s maintained road system. The City has yet to formally accept Lot B (Petit St) into the City’s maintained road system and, as suc h, is not responsible or obligated to maintain the road pursuant to Section 941 of the Streets and Highways Code.
Riverside County residents who reside in the unincorporated area of Riverside County located north of the City’s north boundary, utilize the unimproved road, Lot B (Petit Street), as a convenient ingress and egress to their properties. However, due to lack of maintenance, and recent heavy rains, the road has suffered erosion, making it uneven and difficult for these residents to access their properties.
The County has approached the City requesting permission to regrade and restore this portion of Pettit Street at no cost to the City. Staff requests that the City Council approve the proposed License Agreement By and Between the City and County , granting the County permission to enter the City's portion of Pettit Street to perform one -time maintenance work with minor regrading and related restoration work at no cost to the City.
The County’s one-time maintenance work on said portions of Pettit Street is contingent upon the City Council accepting the subject portion of Pettit Street into the City’s non - maintained street system. The subject portions of Pettit Street, a length of approximately one-quarter mile, includes an approximate 60-foot-wide by 250-foot-long portion of Pettit Street (Lot B of Parcel Map 7528), just north of Locust Avenue and the 60-foot-wide portion north of Lot B and extending to the north City limits (60 -Foot Road Easement of Parcel Map 18349). Staff recommends that the City Co uncil also adopt the attached Resolution, accepting said portions of Pettit Street into the City’s non -maintained street system for public access purposes. However, the City will defer accepting this portion of Petit Street into the City’s maintained road system until all necessary street improvements have been constructed or developed per the respective Parcel Maps pursuant to Section 1806 (b) of the Streets and Highways Code.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the License Agreement at its meeting on September 10, 2024.
