Rialto Renaissance, LLC, a California limited liability company, (the “Subdivider”) requests that the City Council approve Parcel Map 19806 to consolidate four parcels of vacant land (Parcel A, B, C, D) into two parcels (APN 0240-251-37 and 0240-251-44): Parcel 1 (APN 0240-251-37) will consolidate Parcels B, C, D and a portion of Parcel A into 48.83 acres, and Parcel 2 (APN 0240-251-44) will consolidate a portion of Parcel A into 20.9 acres to facilitate the development of a 1,099,046 square foot Monster Energy Distribution Center located north of Miro Way between Locust Avenue within the Business Center (B-C) zone of the Renaissance Specific Plan. A copy of Parcel Map 19806 is included as Attachment 2.
The Applicant has completed the required public improvements associated with Parcel Map No. 19806 and as such, an executed Subdivision Improvement Agreement to guarantee completion of public improvements is not required.
