DISCUSSION
On September 22, 2022, the City Council of the City of Moreno Valley (City) approved Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 38265, which would subdivide 20 acres (gross) into 216 single-family residential lots. After the approval of the TTM, the Developer split TTM 38265 into two phases, Tract Map 38265 and 38265 -1. Tract Map 38265 will now construct 98 single-family residential lots on approximately 7 acres. Tract Map 38265 -1

Tract Maps 38265 and 38265 -1 are in substantial conformance with the approved T TM. The developer has requested that the map be approved for recordation.
