City Council Memorandum
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL DATE: AUGUST 11, 2026 FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WARD: 3 SUBJECT: FINAL APPROVAL OF TRACT MAP NO. 39277 LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF JURUPA AVENUE, BETWEEN TOWER ROAD AND GREENFIELD AVENUE ISSUE:
Adoption of the Resolution of Acceptance for final approval of Tract Map No. 39277.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council:
Adopt the Resolution of Acceptance for final approval of Tract Map No. 39277.
BACKGROUND:
When a subdivision is proposed to be created through the tentative map process, a final map shall be filed for recording with the County Recorder pursuant to California Government Code Section 66466. No proposed subdivision shall be complete until such final map has been filed for recording, and the lots/parcels are legally created. Often the recordation allows developers to secure funding, obtain letters of intent, facilitate construction agreements, and/or secure permits to break ground.
The preparation of tentative maps can be lengthy and costly as developers must hire a professional consultant team to prepare the tentative map, prepare architectural drawings and elevations, secure financing, and in many cases, developers must investigate soil conditions, and/or hire biologists to consider environmental and project impacts. The Subdivision Map Act allows for tentative maps to be recorded within 24 months, and the City adds an additional 12 months for final approval unless time extensions are granted before the map expires. The City’s Subdivision Code and the Subdivision Map Act allow for project extensions, this project was not eligible for any State mandated extensions, and the project did not utilize or need any discretionary one-year extensions.
As part of the development process to subdivide a parcel(s) into more parcel(s)/Lots, a tentative parcel map/tract map (map) is required to be approved by the appropriate determining body through the entitlement process. Once a map is tentatively approved, the developer/property owner must satisfy specific conditions for approval and recordation of the final map. The final map will be checked for conformance with the tentative parcel map/tract map, the associated conditions of approval and technical accuracy and, when found to be acceptable by City staff, will be transmitted to the City Council for acceptance. Final tract maps and in some instances parcel maps requiring the City Clerk to accept dedications are presented before the City Council to adopt the Resolution of Acceptance for final approval of the respective map.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property consists of three contiguous parcels on 1.75 acres, located at the South side of Jurupa Avenue, between Tower Road and Greenfield Avenue, in Ward 3. Tract Map No. 39277 is a proposal by Andrew Verdugo, of MV 20296, LLC, to subdivide three parcels into a one-lot subdivision for condominium purposes, consisting of 29 two-story condominium units with on-site amenities. On August 14, 2025, the Riverside City Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 39277. The Tract Map is delivered to City Council within the three-year entitlement phase.
Staff has determined the developer has satisfied the necessary conditions required for final tract map approval and recommends the final tract map be accepted and approved pursuant to Section 18.090.060(C) of the Riverside Municipal Code. The Community & Economic Development Department (CEDD), Public Works (PW), Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), and Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS) Departments have indicated the following specific conditions for map approval and recordation have been satisfied:
