MISSION STATEMENT
The City of Riverside is committed to providing high quality municipal services
to ensure a safe, inclusive and livable community
PLEASE NOTE: The scheduled hearing times are approximate. No item will be heard
before its scheduled time, but may be heard later in the meeting.
City Planning Commission action on all items may be appealed to the City Council within
ten calendar days for zoning and map cases. Contact the Planning Division for further
information.
State law restricts the City Planning Commission from taking action on an item unless it
has been included on an agenda and posted at least 72 hours in advance of a meeting, or
unless the matter falls within one of the narrow exceptions. Consequently, any item not
listed on this agenda will normally have to be delayed until the item can be made part of a
posted agenda. Additionally, significant changes to a project made subsequent to posting
of the agenda and not addressed in the City Planning Commission staff report will result in
continuance of that item in order to allow for adequate review by the Commission.
The City of Riverside wishes to make all of its public meetings accessible to the public.
Upon request, this agenda will be made available in appropriate alternative formats to
persons with disabilities, as required by 42 U.S.C. §12132 of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990. Any person with a disability who requires a modification or
accommodation in order to participate in a meeting should direct such request to the City's
ADA Coordinator at (951) 826-5427 or TDD at (951) 826-5439 at least 72 hours before
the meeting, if possible.
Materials related to an item on this Agenda submitted to the City Planning Commission
after distribution of the agenda packet are available for public inspection in the Planning
Division office during normal business hours.
