Reshape Riverside Redistricting Update • Page 2 On August 3, 2022, the ICGC hosted its first public hearing. During the hearing, the Committee received public testimony. It directed staff to add two in-person Saturday meetings to the City's outreach plan to be inclusive of the working community who cannot attend the meetings that occur during the week. Due to the truncated schedule, staff could include one additional in-person meeting, scheduled Saturday, October 29, 2022, which will also be the finale for all the Community Workshops within the City's current Outreach Plan. DISCUSSION: The eighteen Pre map community workshops throughout the City culminated Saturday, September 17, 2022, in alignment with the Reshape Riverside outreach plan. As of Wednesday, September 28, 2022, four maps were introduced and elevated for the Committee's consideration. All submitted maps (by community members, organizations and, Redistricting Partners) were available on the Reshape Riverside website for public review in alignment with the California Fair Maps Act. The narrative for the submitted maps is as follows: Draft Map A: minimal neighborhood splits (Redistricting Partners) Draft A was created based on Community of Interest (COI) testimony while maintaining as many neighborhoods as possible. Ward 2 has the least number of residents, with a negative deviation of 3.3%, and Ward 5 has the largest deviation at 2.5% Total deviation: 5.8% • 19 neighborhoods kept together (Arlington South, Presidential Park, and Arlington Heights were slightly split due to the neighborhood lines and census geography not lining up) • 8 neighborhoods splits • The COI "South rural Riverside" as described in DistrictR ID: 141787 and the Equestrian Community from the 001 Form submission by "Anna" is kept whole • The majority of Casa Blanca was swapped from Ward 4 to Ward 5, which reflects 001 testimony received in public outreach meetings. Draft Map B: minimum change (Redistricting Partners) Draft B was created to establish a smaller total deviation while maintaining the current lines as much as possible. Boundaries between wards 1 and 2 were adjusted to smooth out the boundaries and maintain more of the University neighborhood in Ward 2. Changes in Wards 3 and 4 naturally occurred due to the changes in the census geography data between 2010 and 2020. Changes in Ward 6 occurred to smooth out the lines and follow the highway when possible. Ward 2 has the least number of residents with a deviation of -2.6%, and Ward 5 has the largest deviation at 1.3%. Total Deviation: 3.9% Neighborhoods that were previously split continue to be split.
