LANDSCAPE STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL BOULEVARDS, MAJOR AND
SECONDARY THOROUGHFARES, AhD COLLECTOR STREETS
SPECIAL BOULEVARDS: Six (6) major thoroughfares are identified as special
boulevards; Foothill Blvd., Archibald, Haven, Milliken, Etiwanda, and Base-
line. The text of the Plan indicates that increased landscaped parkways
should be used to provide a distinct identity for special boulevards. In
addition to increased landscaping, design elements such as meandering side-
walks, mounded landscaping, pedestrian plazas, low profile walls and fences,
and textured sidewalks and crosswalks, can be used to denote special boule-
vards. A variety of designs and building placements are encouraged so that
parking areas are not always located along the street frontage. Since Foot-
hill Blvd. is the City's major east/west focal point, a higher standard should
be used. The following standards shall be used:
Foothill Blvd.: Ail new development or redevelopments shall provide
landscaping at an average depth of 25', measured from the front pro-
perty line, along the entire street frontage. In no case shall the
depth, as measured from the front property line, be less than 15'
This landscaping shall be in addition to the parkway landscaping
between the curb and property line (Exhibit "~').
Other Special Boulevards: All new development or redevelopments
shall provide a landscaped area across the entire boulevard frontage
at an average depth equal to 20% of the depth of the property. The
depth of the property shall be measured from the property line adjacent
to and parallel with the boulevard to the opposite parallel property
line. This landscaped area need not exceed 35' in depth; however, in
no case shall there be less than 15' in depth as measured from the face
of the curb. Such area shall include any required sidewalks or walkways.
(Exhibit "A")
MAJOR AND SECONDARY THOROUGHFARES: Mmjor thoroughfares not shown as special
boulevards are; Carnelian/Vineyard, Fourth Street, and a portion of Milliken
and Etiwanda. Secondary thoroughfares are indieated as; Carnelian, Beryl,
Banyan, 19th, Arrow, Grove, Wilson, and Seventh Street. The following stan-
dard shall be used for major and secondary thoroughfares.
Ail new developments or redevelopments shall provide a landscaped
area across the entire street frontage at an average depth of 25',
as measured from the face of curb. In no case shall this dimension
be less than 15' in depth (Exhibit "B").
COLLECTOR STREETS: The remaining streets indicated on the Plan are collector
streets. Staff feels that landscape standards are also needed for collectors
in order to establish consistency among developments. The following standard
shall be used:
Ail new developments or redevelopments shall provide a landscaped
area across the entire street frontage at an average depth of 20'
as measured from the face of curb. In no case shall this dimension
be less than 15' in depth (Exhibit "B").
