The proposed city of Eastvale is currently an unincorporated area in northwestern Riverside County, California, in a region of Southern California known as the Inland Empire. On of January 21, 2010, the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) determined that the unincorporated area could incorporate if the residents of the proposed city voted to do so, despite a recommendation by LAFCO staff Executive Officer George Spiliotis that the incorporation effort be disapproved due to fiscal viability concerns. [1] As a result of their determination, on June 8, 2010 residents of the proposed city of Eastvale will vote on "Measure A," which addresses whether Eastvale should incorporate as a city or not.[2]

The boundaries of the proposed city extend from Hellman Ave. to the West (the San Bernardino County Line), Bellgrave Ave. to the North (also the San Bernardino County Line), the Santa Ana River and Norco to the South, and Interstate 15 to the East.[1]

Several residents have already expressed interest in running for the potential new City Council, including Irene Long, Jeff DeGrandpre, Kelly Howell, Adam Rush, and Christopher Riley.[3]

Ric Welch

Ric Welch is the Parks Director for the Jurupa Community Services District.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).. The unprecedented growth in the community since 2000 has transformed the once rural community to a built out housing subdivision with an estimated population of 40,000.

Geography

The Eastvale area is often incorrectly referred to as Corona,[5] however the unincorporated area was given the name "Corona" because the Corona, California United States Post Office was the closest Post Office that could handle the volume from the new construction in the area. The Los Angeles County line is approximately 8 miles northwest of Eastvale, and the Orange County line is approximately 5 miles to the southwest. The proximity of these last two heavily commercialized counties, and the fact that Eastvale is roughly squared between Interstate 15 and California State Routes 91, 60, and 71, has made Eastvale popular for those that commute to these counties for employment, making Eastvale something of a commuter town.

According to the Eastvale area plan,[6] Eastvale has a total area of 13.1 square miles (33.9 km²), of which 12.5 square miles (32.3 km²) is land and 0.6 square miles (1.6 km²), or 4.76%, is water.

Eastvale has two postal ZIP codes—92880 and 91752, with current mailing addresses of Corona and Mira Loma, respectively.[7]

Most of Eastvale, like most of western Riverside County, has the telephone area code of 951. However, according to the California Public Utilities Commission, because the 951 area code was split along telephone service areas and not strictly along county boundaries, some Eastvale residents still retain the older 909 area code.[8]

History

Eastvale, once a rural area, was predominantly dairy farms and agricultural until the late 1990s.[9] At that time, the area started to suburbanize to accommodate the influx of people coming from neighboring Orange and Los Angeles Counties seeking affordable housing.[10] Eastvale's area plan was to have a upper class community with $700,000 houses. The average price per square footage is $387. Since the recession the predominantly upper class community has been merging with upper-middle class families.

Law and government

Eastvale, situated in California's 44th congressional district, is represented in the United States House of Representatives by Ken Calvert. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein represent California in the United States Senate.

Eastvale, along with most of the northwestern tip of Riverside County, is under the jurisdiction of the Second District of Riverside County, with the current county supervisor being John Tavaglione.[11]

Eastvale is one of several unincorporated areas of Riverside County that has strong community support for city incorporation— Eastvale, Menifee Valley (Menifee, Sun City and Quail Valley). The passage of AB 1602, a state bill that adds funds from vehicle license fees, has made it easier for unincorporated areas to attain cityhood.[12] The new law has also stirred up renewed interest in incorporation efforts for Mira Loma and Jurupa Valley (Mira Loma, Pedley, Glen Avon, Sunnyslope, and Rubidoux).

The Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP),[13] an inclusive three-part county urban plan, has a specific plan attributed to the Eastvale area.[6] This area plan sets up Eastvale zoning ordinance, policy areas for unique features found in Eastvale, specific plans (master-planned communities) in Eastvale, design guidelines, circulation (transportation) policies for Eastvale, specific hazards to the region, and conservation policies—which includes the protection of open space, wetlands, and biodiversity.

Community

A committee of concerned Eastvale residents, the Eastvale Community Committee (ECC), was formed in so that issues facing the growing community would be addressed. Formed in 2002, the ECC holds public meetings with county representatives, utility operators, law enforcement agencies, local school representatives, and local business owners. A group of volunteer residents publishes a summary of the meetings and other articles in the quarterly Eastvale Edition which is mailed to most residents and is also available online.[14]

A separate project, Eastvale Events,[15] encourages community involvement by developing and coordinating community events. Eastvale Picnic in the Park, Eastvale Holiday Showcase, and Eastvale Fall Festival[16][17] are a few of the sponsored events.

Eastvale residents also have an online presence on the social networking website Yahoo! Groups,[18] and independent websites such as EastvaleResidents.com[19] and Eastvale.com.[20]

Eastvale Little League, a subsidiary of the non-profit organization Little League Baseball, offers baseball and softball programs to boys and girls in Eastvale.[21]
