Planning commission approves two-parcel subdivision at 1685 N. Eucalyptus

The Rialto Planning Commission voted to approve a tentative parcel map that will divide a 5.93‑acre property at 1685 North Eucalyptus Avenue into two parcels.

Staff told the commission the subject property (APN 260-420-124) is designated Residential 6 in the General Plan and is zoned single‑family R1A. Under the proposal, Parcel 1 would be about 33,594 square feet (0.77 acre) and contain the existing 1,735‑square‑foot single‑family home and plans for a detached accessory dwelling unit; Parcel 2 would be about 224,705 square feet (5.16 acres) and is currently vacant. Staff recommended approval, saying the project is consistent with the General Plan and Rialto Municipal Code and meets the conditions for the California Environmental Quality Act minor‑land‑division exemption (CEQA §15315).

Owner Roberto Ramos told the commission he has owned the land for eight years and sought the split to make the property more manageable and financeable. "I've owned the property for eight years now," Ramos said, explaining his intent to keep the house separate and potentially develop the remaining acreage in the future.

Commissioners asked technical questions about the site grade and surrounding uses. Staff confirmed there were no comments in opposition and no public speakers on the item. Following the discussion, the commission moved to adopt the resolution determining the project exempt under Environmental Assessment Review No. 25-0001 (citing CEQA §15315) and to approve the tentative parcel map (map number 20047). The motion passed on roll call.

What happens next: The approval authorizes the parcel map process to move forward subject to the conditions in the resolution; any subsequent building permits, accessory‑dwelling work or site development will require compliance with conditions and applicable permits.
