Renaissance Specific Plan Park Removal and Land Use Changes
Rialto
Summary
A planned public park on Planning Areas 126 and 133 near Ayala Drive is being traded for warehouse/business-center designations, tied to a land sale to Newland Real Estate. The upside: $17.3 million in developer park fees is freed up that the council can spend on parks anywhere — Council Member Montoya suggested Jerry Eves Park expansion or a soccer field. Some 15-20 residents opposed at the Planning Commission, though none spoke at the council hearing.

Impact analysis
$17.3 million in developer fees becomes available for parks or other lawful city purposes.
The city gains flexible park and infrastructure funding, and construction trades gain promised local-hire, apprenticeship-based jobs.
Residents who expected a park at that location lose the promised open space; the EIR notes unavoidable greenhouse gas impacts.
