Eastvale – The City of Eastvale has recently prepared an Initial Study for the development of a new retail center.

The proposed project – dubbed the Eastvale Marketplace – will be located at the now vacant lot on the northeast corner of Limonite and Sumner avenues.  All told, it will include approximately 71,472 square feet of retail space in a center with multi-tenant and single-tenant buildings and associated parking facilities, according to the City of Eastvale.

The Center will include a 31,000 square foot grocery store; a ten-bay tire store; a bank with drive-up access; two fast food drive-thru restaurants; two additional retail buildings totaling more than 20,000 square feet; and parking access with 393 parking stalls.

Access to the center would present on both Limonite Avenue and Sumner Avenue; pedestrian connections will be located on Valencia Street.

The Initial Study did not identify any significant or unavoidable impacts.  Notice has been posted for the 21-day required public review period – which concluded on Mon., July 13 – and can be viewed at Eastvale City Hall, located at 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910 (Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
