Title
Zone Change Recommendations for Industrial-Residential Interface Areas
body
DISCUSSION:
Staff was directed by City Council to analyze zoning throughout the City, identify areas of industrial-residential interface and provide recommendations to City Council on potential, alternative zoning designations for the interface areas.
Through this process, staff identified six general areas where there is potential conflict between industrial and residential zoning. They are as follows: Agua Mansa, El Rivino, Gateway, M-1 & M-2 zones in central Rialto, North of 210 (non-Renaissance) and Renaissance.
These maps and recommendations were discussed at the Economic Development Committee meeting on September 25, 2025. The maps included as Attachment A are reflective of the discussion and direction at that meeting.
The next steps in a zone change process would be as follows:
• RFP to engage a consultant for:
o CEQA
o General Plan map update
o Zoning text and map updates
o Tribal Consultation
• Stakeholder and community outreach
• Public Hearings at Planning Commission and City Council
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the EDC receive the report and provide direction to staff.
