Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Jurupa Valley public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Town Center implementation
A major rezoning is coming for Pedley, Rubidoux and Glen Avon town centers — form-based zoning that would allow mixed-use, walkable development and potentially densities up to 25+ units per acre. Officials debated density caps versus design controls; adoption is targeted by year's end under grant deadlines.
Home occupation rules overhaul (ZCA24004)
New rules for home occupations would swap strict caps on employees, customers and vehicles for impact-based standards, allow modest 2-square-foot signs, and add real enforcement teeth. Final adoption is set for August 6 after continued hearings.
Paradise Knolls Planning Area 5 development and fire/encampment concerns
The centerpiece phase of Paradise Knolls gets its final map: 221 detached homes, a 4.25-acre linear park along Rancho Jurupa Drive, and a 2.75-acre dog park, all maintained by JARPD. Commissioners flagged Limonite Avenue traffic and RV parking near the river but supported the project.
Community facilities districts for new development
Two new special-tax districts were formed for the Canterra development — one for services and one dedicated to public safety — funded by landowner ballots rather than existing residents.
