ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18449 - CUCAMONGA
220 L.P. - A residential subdivision of 31 lots on 8.79 acres, in the Mixed Use District of the Victoria
Arbors Master Plan, located at the northwest Corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive —
APN: 0227-171-29 and 30.
Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing a tentative tract map to subdivide an 8.79-acre parcel of
undeveloped land for the future construction of 31 single-family homes. The project is located at the
northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive adjacent to Victoria Arbors Park. To
facilitate the proposed project, the applicant is requesting an amendment of the underlying Victoria
Arbors Master Plan to change the land use designations from School to Mixed Use Residential
(4 to 6 units per acre). This is consistent with the General Plan designation of Mixed Use. In addition,
the project involves a minor exception to increase the perimeter walls to a maximum of 7 feet 8 inches in
height along Lots 3, 4, 13, and 14.
The project site is a vacant, irregularly-shaped parcel surrounded by single-family residential
developments to the north, south, and east, with Victoria Arbors Park to the west of the site. The
applicant has proposed a pedestrian access point between the project and Victoria Arbors Park. A
wetland area will remain between the northwest boundary of the project and Victoria Arbors Park. The
access points to the project will be from Victoria Park Lane on the east and Long Meadow Drive to the
south. The property generally slopes from the north/northeast to the southwest and contains no
significant vegetation as the site was once mass graded.
The project proposes 31 single-family detached residential lots fronting onto two proposed public local
streets. At this time, no product has been submitted. The 31 proposed lots range from 5,500 square feet
to 11,365 square feet in size and the average lot size is 7,700 square feet. They will meet the
requirements of the proposed district in the Victoria Arbors Mater Plan if the amendment is granted.
Staff Comments: The following comments are designed to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
There are no major issues. The applicant has worked hard with staff to develop the proposed site in
accordance with the applicable development standards of the Victoria Arbors Master Plan. The applicant
has also worked with the Etiwanda School District to reaffirm that the school district has no intention of
using this property for a future school site; the school district has written a letter confirming this fact.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary issues:
1. The applicant has worked diligently with staff, and through discussions with staff, there are no
secondary design issues.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
