The Riverside City Council may expand the city for more residential space.
The council has set a date to hold a public hearing in regards to the annexation and rezoning for the Northern Heights Development. In November, Axiom Consultants sent a request to the city of Riverside to annex 30.5 acres of land between Tulip Avenue and Tupelo Boulevard. The intention is to develop this parcel of land into a residential district. The topic was tabled due to lack of quorum. At the January 7th meeting the council will vote on the proposal to annex the land as a part of the City of Riverside, and to move forward with rezoning the land to form a residential development.
