The Northern Heights development will be discussed at the first Riverside City Council meeting of the year.

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. In December, the council did not pass the annexation due to lack of quorum. The council will vote on the proposal to annex the land, and consider moving forward with rezoning the land to form a residential development. If both are passed, Mayor Allen Schneider says they could begin constructing lots as soon as the spring.
