On April 27, 2022, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve Design Review
DRC2021-00120 and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT00024, permitting a mixed-use development
comprising of 671 apartment units and 20,841 square feet of commercial space. A Master Plan
was also included in the proposal and was recommended for approval by the City Council. On
May 18, 2022, the City Council unanimously approved the Master Plan. The application presently
before the Planning Commission requests a time extension for the previously approved Design
Review and Tentative Tract Map. The Master Plan is a legislative action, not an entitlement, and
is not subject to the permit expiration period outlined in Section 17.14.090 of the Development
Code.
A two-year Time Extension request was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission on
March 13, 2024 as the Design Review and Tentative Tract Map were set to expire on April 27,
2024 and April 27, 2025, respectively. For the purpose of efficiency and to keep both entitlements
on the same schedule, the applicant requested the time extension at the same time, despite the
varying expiration dates. The approval granted both the Design Review and Tentative Tract Map
an expiration date of April 27, 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request to establish a Master Plan and construct a mixed-use development with 671 apartment units and
20,841 square feet of commercial space on a 17.2-acre site.
BACKGROUND:
The 17.2-acre project site is located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue and is
zoned Mixed- Use Urban Corridor (MU-UCR) District. The project site covers approximately three-fourths of the
city block bordered by Elm Avenue to the west, Milliken Avenue to the east, Church Street to the north, and
Foothill Boulevard to the south (Exhibit A - Aerial). The project site is “L” shaped with frontages along Elm
Avenue, Church Street, Milliken Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard, interrupted only by an existing shopping center
located at the northeast corner of Elm Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The site slopes from north to south and
is covered by low vegetation.

PROJECT ANALYSIS:
A. Overview and Site Layout: The project has a proposed density of 39 dwelling units per acre, meeting the
density range of 36 to 60 dwelling units per acre required by the City Corridor High General Plan Designation.
Two interior streets running north to south and east to west split the project into four areas, creating a block
network within the site (Exhibit B – Detailed Site and Landscape Plan). A description of what is proposed for
each block/quadrant as well as the project’s interior streets are outlined below:
i.) Interior Streets
Two interior streets running north to south and east to west are proposed within the project site. The
north-south interior street runs from Church Street and connects to an existing driveway leading to Foothill
Boulevard. The east-west interior street runs from Milliken Avenue and connects to an existing driveway
leading to Elm Avenue. These interior streets are designed with the look, feel, and function of
neighborhood streets to help create an urban environment that is envisioned by the General Plan. The
urban environment is enhanced further with proper building placement along the streets, “on-street”
angled parking, and appropriate landscape features. The interior streets intersect toward the center of
the project, creating a balanced circulation pattern throughout the site.
ii.) Northwest and Northeast
These two blocks are primarily comprised of 3-story walk-up apartments with entrances oriented either
toward the project boundaries abutting public streets or the interior streets within the site. Stand-alone
garages, surface parking areas, and trash enclosures are plotted within the interior of these two blocks,
screening these facilities from public view.
iii.) Southwest
A clubhouse, pool, and dog park occupy this block. The clubhouse contains the leasing office, fitness
center, and multi-purpose room. The clubhouse building is oriented towards the project’s two interior
streets. The southern portion of block abuts a parking area for an existing shopping center.
iv.) Southeast
This block contains a four-story “wrap” building, where residential and commercial units wrap around an
above-ground parking structure. All 20,841 square feet of commercial and restaurant space proposed for
the project is contained within the Foothill Boulevard ground frontage of the wrap building. As such, a
small surface parking lot is proposed west of the wrap building, primarily servicing the commercial spaces.
Building entrances are proposed along all four sides of the building for pedestrians, while vehicle
entrances to the parking structure are available along the west and north elevation. The wrap building
anchors” the project site with great building placement along Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue.
The wrap building’s setback ranges from 0 feet to 20 feet from the property line along Foothill Boulevard,
creating a significant architectural presence at a primary intersection in the city. The setback range also
allows opportunity for enhanced sidewalk widths and outdoor dining/gathering space to support the
ground-floor commercial and encourage a walkable environment.
B. Architecture: All buildings within the project site are designed in the modern interpretation of the classic
American farmhouse. Design elements that reinforce the farmhouse architecture include batten board siding,
corrugated metal awnings, wood railings, sloped roofs, and a primarily white and gray color scheme.

West Shopping Center City Corridor High Community Commercial (CC) District 1
1 – Terra Vista Planned Community; 2 – north of Foothill Boulevard; 3 – south of Foothill Boulevard
Page 12
Page 3 of 7
Contemporary architectural elements such as horizontal wood siding, stucco, flat roofs, large windows, and
horizontal metal beams are also incorporated into the buildings, giving the farmhouse design a modern
appearance. All building materials are carried to all elevations. Horizontal articulation along the building
planes as well as vertical articulation on rooflines breaks down the building massing and creates architectural
interest (Exhibit C – Elevations, Unit Plans, and Renderings).
The ground floor commercial frontages on the south side of the wrap building (facing Foothill Boulevard) are
treated with a variety of architectural elements that blend the farmhouse and modern styles together (Exhibit
D – Partial Foothill Elevation). Elements such as corrugated metal awnings and eyebrow canopies placed at
different heights and distances from the curb, further enhance the overall architecture by creating visual
interest and variation at the storefronts. Additionally, the commercial space is designed with a ceiling height
of roughly 16 feet to accommodate a range of commercial uses, as required by the General Plan.
C. Unit Composition and Floor Plans: All residential units will be housed in either 3-story walk-ups on the
northeast and northwest portions of the site, or within the 4-story wrap building at the site’s southeast corner.
A total of 323 and 348 units will be located within the 3-story walk-ups and the 4-story wrap building,
respectively, with the project providing a grand total of 671 apartments. Studios range in size from 488 to
659 square feet, while 1-bedroom units range from 634 to 1,004 square feet. 2-bedroom units range from
933 to 1,261 square feet. Additionally, 20,841 square feet of ground floor commercial space is located along
the 4-story wrap building’s Foothill Boulevard frontage. The table below summarizes the unit composition for
both the 3-story walk-ups and the 4-story wrap building.

2 Bedroom 86 units 121 units 207 units
TOTAL 323 units 348 units 671 units

D. Recreation Amenities: The project provides 10 active residential amenities. Resident amenities include two
pool/spa areas, an indoor gym, a community multi-purpose room with kitchen, an enclosed dog park with
separate areas for small and large dogs, an observation deck, outdoor exercise area, outdoor gaming area,
eight BBQ grill areas, and an enclosed children’s play area (Exhibit E – Overall Landscape Plan and Amenity
Details).
E. Fencing and Access: Most of the project site is ungated and is therefore publicly accessible by foot or by
car. Vehicular entrances and sidewalks to the project’s two interior streets from Church Street, Foothill
Boulevard, Elm Avenue, and Milliken Avenue are ungated. There are three pedestrian gates/fences that
control access to the two clubhouse/pool areas and the fitness courtyard within the wrap building. The only
vehicular gate on the property is utilized to separate the upper levels of the wrap building parking structure
that is designated for residents from the first story of the parking structure that is primarily dedicated to
commercial uses (Exhibit F – Wall and Fence Plan).
F. Master Plan and Proposed Development Standards: One of the objectives of a Master Plan is to allow for
the coordinated comprehensive planning of a subarea of the city in order to allow the development of an
exceptional project design that cannot be built under an existing zoning district or due to constraints of
existing development standards. The project includes a Master Plan application (Master Plan 2022-00074)
Page 13
Page 4 of 7
which proposes a site-specific set of development standards (Exhibit G – Harvest at Terra Vista Master Plan).
These standards are meant to accommodate a well-balanced, functional, and highly walkable public realm
within and around the project. The master plan is also intended to enable the development of two primary
building types (3-story walk-ups and the 4-story wrap building). The table below lists the development
standards proposed with Master Plan Master Plan 2022-00074.

public right-of-way)
G. Walkability: The project provides a complete pedestrian network, with sidewalks provided on both sides of
all interior streets and along the project perimeter. Sidewalks along the interior streets are proposed to be 5
feet in width, while sidewalks along the project perimeter adjacent to public streets are 8 to 10 feet wide,
allowing adequate space for pedestrian activity (Exhibit H – Walkway Circulation Plan). The proposed
pedestrian routes are dotted with linear parks, seating areas, and landscaping, and uninterrupted by blank
expanses or parking lots, resulting in an attractive walking environment. All front facades and building
entrances are oriented towards streets/sidewalks, helping create a safe and active streetscape.
H. Parking: The project’s master plan is designed to mirror the City’s current parking requirements as described
in Section 17.64 of the Development Code. Based on all proposed uses on site, the project is required to
provide 1,468 parking stalls, 671 of which are required to be in a garage or carport. Required parking includes
tenant and visitor parking for the residential portion of the project, as well as parking for all commercial
spaces. The project provides 1,468 parking stalls, 942 of which are covered, meeting the parking requirement
Exhibit I – Parking Plan). In order to ensure that on-site parking is properly managed, the applicant has
provided a Parking Management Plan (Exhibit J – Parking Management Plan). This Parking Management
Plan outlines how residential, guest, and commercial parking spaces are assigned, and details enforcement
actions that apartment management can take in response to any potential parking violations. The following
parking analysis table provides a breakdown of the required and provided parking spaces on-site.

I. Tentative Map: The project includes the subdivision of the project site into four (4) numbered lots for
condominium purposes, for the development of 671 apartments and 20,841 square feet of commercial space
Exhibit K – Tentative Map 20120). Each lot will help facilitate construction, circulation, and other components
of the project.
J. Public Art: This project is required to provide public art as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development
Code. Based on the number of residential units and commercial square footage for this project, the total art
value required per Section 17.124.020.C. is $524,091. A condition has been included pursuant to the
Development Code that requires the public art requirement to be met prior to occupancy.
K. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Williams, Morales)
on March 15, 2022. The Committee recommended approval of the project to the full Planning Commission.
This is reflected in the in the Design Review Committee Comments (Exhibit L – DRC Minutes dated March
15, 2022).
L. General Plan Consistency: The General Plan designations are centered around four primary components:
Land Use and Development Intensity, Built Form and Character, Access and Connectivity, and Parks and
Open Space. The project is located in the Corridor High designation of the General Plan, which is intended
to provide for medium to high intensity developments along Foothill Boulevard that include a range of
amenities, conveniences, housing options, and more at the edges of many existing and future
neighborhoods.
The project has been well-designed to align with the Corridor High designation. The project proposes a
density of 39 units per acre, which falls within the expected range of the Corridor High designation of 36-60
units per acre. The proposed site plan includes proper building placement near the sidewalks with proper
orientation to exterior or interior streets to accommodate active frontages and ground floor uses. The strategic
placement of the buildings forms strong circulation patterns and streetscapes, helping create the desired
urban character of the Corridor. The project site also has the benefit of street frontage on four sides and has
taken advantage of those frontages to provide easy access and strong connectivity. The site is divided into
quadrants, using privately owned streets to create walkable blocks in and throughout the project site. While
the streets are privately owned, they will be public accessible and designed to look, feel, and function like
public streets, as envisioned by the General Plan.
CEQA DETERMINATION:
The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan (GPU) and certified
a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) on December 15, 2021. As part of the
Page 15
Page 6 of 7
GPU, the Project site was designated for “City Corridor – High” land uses, which allows for residential
development at densities ranging from 36 to 60 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and non-residential development
at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) ranging from 0.6 to 1.5. According to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, a
Program EIR may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project. Use of a
Program EIR gives the Lead Agency an opportunity to consider broad policy alternatives and program-wide
mitigation measures, as well as greater flexibility to address project-specific and cumulative environmental
impacts on a comprehensive scale.
Pursuant to Section 15183(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, “if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the
project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the
imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards…then an additional EIR need not be prepared
for the project solely on the basis of that impact.” The 17.2-acre property is designated by the City’s General
Plan for “City Corridor – High” land uses. The GPU EIR assumed the Project site would be developed with 722
multi-family residential dwelling units and 337,154 square feet of commercial retail land uses. The proposed
Project is fully consistent with the site’s GPU land use designation of “City Corridor – High” and would be
consistent with all applicable GPU policies. Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required for the
proposed project.
To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR or environmental review is required, a CEQA Section 15183 Compliance

RE: DRC2026-00009 Request for Time Extension
Harvest at Terra Vista
Original File Nos. DRC2021-00120, TTM 20120 (SUBTT00024), Master Plan
DRC2022-00074
Dear Ms. Serafin:
On behalf of WDCC Milliken West Residential, LLC, the applicant for the Harvest
at Terra Vista project planned for the n/w corner of Foothill and Milliken, I am
formally requesting a one-year time extension for the entitlements referenced
above under original file numbers.
Harvest at Terra Vista is envisioned as a mixed-use development comprising
approximately 20,000 square feet of commercial space, 671 rental apartment
homes, and related amenities. After years of significant collaboration between
our development team and City staff, the above-referenced applications were
approved in 2022. Those approvals originally were to expire in April of 2024.
On January 26, 2024, on behalf of the applicant, I submitted a letter requesting
an extension of time for the original approvals, and on March 13, 2024, the
Planning Commission approved the request by a unanimous vote of those
commissioners present. The approvals were extended to April 27, 2026. The staff
report for our prior extension request noted that an additional one-year
extension may be granted if requested before the current expiration date.
Exhibit B
Page 18
To date, we have not begun construction on the Harvest at Terra Vista project.
Macroeconomic challenges and uncertainty have led the company to focus
on managing financial risk by developing smaller communities across multiple
locations. Our owners remain excited about the Harvest at Terra Vista project
and optimistic about the future, and we hope to be in a position to start project
construction within the next 12 months. Thus, I am making this request for an
additional extension of time.
Sincerely,
Brian M. Jacobson
Vice President, Multi-Family Development

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-010
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
TIME EXTENSION DRC2026-00009, A REQUEST FOR A ONE
YEAR TIME EXTENSION OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
DESIGN REVIEW (DRC2021-00120) AND TENTATIVE TRACT
MAP (SUBTT00024), WHICH ENTITLED A MIXED-USE
DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 671 APARTMENT UNITS AND
20,841 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE WITHIN THE
CORRIDOR 2 (CO2) ZONE, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND MILLIKEN AVENUE
AT 11220 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD; APNS: 1077-422-51, -55, -98,
-99, 1090-121-38, AND -39.
A.Recitals.
1.The Applicant, Lewis Management Corp on behalf of WDCC Milliken West Residential,
LLC, filed an application for a time extension of the of Design Review DRC20221-00120 and
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT00024, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Time Extension request is referred to as "the application."
2.On the 8th day of April 2026, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said application and concluded
said hearing on that date.
3.All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B.Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1.This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2.Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on April 8, 2026, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The project site consists of approximately 17.2-acres of vacant land on the
northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue at 11220 Foothill Boulevard, bound
by Elm Avenue to the west, Milliken Avenue to the east, Church Street to the north, and Foothill

c. The previously approved Design Review and Tentative Tract Map were
unanimously approved by the Planning Commission on April 27, 2022, permitting a mixed-use
development comprising of 671 apartment units and 20,841 square feet of commercial space. A
Master Plan was also included in the proposal and was recommended for approval by the City
Council. On May 18, 2022, the City Council unanimously approved the Master Plan. The present
application requests a time extension for only the Design Review and Tentative Tract Map as the
Master Plan is a legislative action and is not subject to the permit expiration period outlined in
Section 17.14.090 of the Development Code; and
d. A two-year time extension request was unanimously approved by the Planning
Commission on March 13, 2024, as the Design Review and Tentative Tract Map were set to
expire on April 27, 2024, and April 27, 2025, respectively. The approved time extension request
granted both the Design Review and Tentative Tract Map an expiration date of April 27, 2026;
and
e. The previously approved Design Review and Tentative Tract Map conform to all
applicable development standards of the zone at the time of approval and the subject Time
Extension conforms with applicable provisions of the Development Code and Subdivision Code,
specifically Section 17.14.090 and Section 16.16.170 of the Municipal Code, as the request was
submitted no less than 30 days prior to the date of expiration, and the original entitlement findings
can be made; and
f. The subject application is a request to the extend the approval period for Design
Review DRC2021-00120 and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT00024 for one additional year. The time
extension is necessary to accommodate financial challenges created by macroeconomic
conditions. The expiration date with the approval of Time Extension DRC2026-00009 for both the
Design Review and the Tentative Tract Map will be April 27, 2027.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The previously approved entitlements are consistent with the General Plan in
which the site is located. The underlying General Plan Designation is City Corridor High, which
comprises of medium-high and high density residential and a broad range of commercial uses,
with a density range of 36-60 units per acre. The project proposes a total of 671 apartment units
and 20,841 square feet of commercial space with a density of 36 dwelling units per acre, which
is consistent with the General Plan vision for this site; and
b. The previously approved entitlements are in accord with the objectives of the
Development Code and the purpose of the zone in which the site is located in at the time of
approval. The project site, at the time of approval, was located within the Mixed Use – Urban
South
East Hospital/Medical
Services/Vacant City Corridor High Corridor 2 (CO2)
West Commercial Shopping
Center City Corridor High Corridor 2 (CO2)

Corridor (MU-UCR) District, which was an area designated for a mix of residential and
nonresidential uses of medium to high intensity, and where a vibrant pedestrian environment and
transition in scale to surrounding neighborhoods is achieved. The projects provides for a proper
mix of residential and commercial uses, concentrating pedestrian activity and intensity along
Foothill Boulevard while transitioning building scale appropriately to the surrounding area; and
c. The previously approved development complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code at the time of approval. As permitted within the Development
Code, the project was proposed in conjunction with a Mater Plan, which allowed for a coordinated,
comprehensive planning of a subarea of the City in order to develop an exceptional project design
that cannot be built due to constraints in development standards applicable at the time of approval.
The Master Plan was approved to provide flexibility in setbacks and minimum building height,
primarily applicable to the walk-up residential units along Church Street and a portion of Milliken
Avenue. Aside from these deviations that the Master Plan was approved to accommodate, the
project complies with the remaining provisions of the Development Code at the time of approval;
and
d. The previously approved entitlement, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity. The vacant project site is approved to be developed
with residential units and commercial space, consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code applicable at the time of approval as well as with surrounding properties. A Compliance
Memorandum was prepared to confirm consistency with the General Plan Program Environmental
Impact Report (PEIR), with applicable mitigation measures in place to mitigate any potential
environmental impacts. The project will also be subject to the performance standards outlined in
Chapter 17.66 of the Development Code.
4. The Planning Department staff determined that the project is not subject to
subsequent environmental review per Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), which concludes that no subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) shall be
prepared for a project that already has a certified EIR or negative declaration adopted for the
project unless the agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole
record, one or more of the following:
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which
the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; or
3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative
declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:

a. The project will have one ore more significant effects not
discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially
more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially
reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the
project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably
different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative.
The project scope is to permit a one-year time extension to both Design Review DRC2021-
00120 and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT00024 that were approved on April 27, 2022, in which a
CEQA Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum, dated March 22, 2022, was prepared to
determine conformance with the City’s certified Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH
2021050261) that was adopted at the time of a comprehensive update to the General Plan on
December 15, 2021. Staff evaluation of the compliance memorandum concluded that the project
is within the scope of the adopted EIR and that the project will not have one or more significant
effects not discussed in the General Plan Update EIR, nor have more severe effects than
previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to
reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. The proposed time extension
does not raise or generate new environmental impacts not already evaluated in the Compliance
Memorandum as it will only extend the expiration date of the already approved and evaluated
project and does not propose any further alterations. As such, subsequent environmental review
is not required.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves a one-year time extension for Design Review DRC2021-00120
and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT00024 for a new expiration date of April 27, 2027, subject to each
and every condition applied to the original approval, set forth below, and in the attached standard
conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF APRIL 2026.
