Anticipated/Perceived Cityhood Benefits

Jan 2009

Housing density is an issue that can better be controlled within a city (more local concern and influence)
City planners may better address pollution, which is more of an issue when houses/apartments/child care center growth is planned near freeways
Since many parts of Jurupa Valley (e.g. Mira Loma) are zoned A-1 (Animal/Agriculture), cityhood might be beneficial to ensure that low density housing and other rural issues are locally addressed
There has been a lack of new parks or community centers since the 70's. City planners might be more responsive to local needs

With their own city, Jurupa Valley residents would have more influence and direct control over city safety, security, city planning/zoning, and other issues of local interest (many such items are currently controlled by Riverside County, the Services Districts, or the State of California [traffic control])
A local Jurupa Valley police force might be more responsive due to officers concentrating their efforts specifically within the Jurupa Valley community
Cityhood can lead to more responsive reporting and identification of local traffic control issues
Transition from unincorporated county into a city would preclude potential annexation of land within Jurupa Valley from neighboring cities
With the commercial build-up along the I-15 corridor (near Limonite Ave) there is a large gain in tax revenue which would help sustain and perpetuate Jurupa Valley city services
