Date: February 25, 2009 CUCAMONGA
To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
By: Corkran W. Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director
Lois J. Schrader, Planning Commission Secretary
Subject: SUMMARY OF GENERAL PLAN UPDATE ACTIVITIES FOR THE FIRST QUARTER
OF 2009 AND A PREVIEW OF THE DRAFT GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Since our last update to the City Council on October 15, 2008, further progress has been made in
two important task focus areas. First, the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) has worked
diligently to produce a draft Vision Statement i.e., a set of guiding principles for the purpose of
providing the foundation for the current General Plan Update and the basis for the goals and
policies to be carried out by staff. Secondly, staff and the consultant have worked together to
create a "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga Road Show" to further extend the public outreach process.
The following portion of this update will explain the process being used to create the Vision
• Statement, information regarding the "Road Show," and the activities that will be forthcoming in the
first quarter of 2009.
Visioneering
The Visioneering public outreach effort was completed and over 700 responses were received
during the outreach period. Staff and Visioneers gave presentations and conducted the
Visioneering survey with individuals, groups and various community organizations. Individuals also
had the opportunity to participate in the survey by downloading the questions directly from the
City's General Plan Update website. The resulting response data has been compiled and
analyzed by the General Plan consultant. The preliminary summary analysis of the data was
presented to the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) at their meeting of October 20, 2008.
The analysis highlights the attractive facets of living in Rancho Cucamonga such as shopping and
entertainment, equestrian, parks, and economic opportunities. The data also indicates strong
responses related to concerns in the areas of traffic, safety, growth and overdevelopment.
Attached is a graphic which depicts visual "bubbles" or indicators of the themes of the responses
received. The top three responses for each of the questions are:
1) What makes where you live unique?

Subsequently, the GPAC, with the assistance of the consultant, developed the draft Vision
Statement. This draft document is tentatively scheduled to be presented, reviewed and discussed
by the Planning Commission and the City Council along with the GPAC during a joint workshop on
March 12, 2009, with the goal of preparing the final draft for consideration and adoption by the City •
Council in May of 2009. The next challenge was to find an effective tool to promote community
review of, and to receive comment on, the draft Vision Statement. The answer became apparent,
"Let's take it on the road!"
Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga Road Show
In concert with the drafting of the "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga" Vision Statement, and considering
the City's commitment to a high level of community participation, the consultant met with staff for
the purpose of coordinating a series of presentations called the "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga
Road Show." The concept is to share the draft Vision Statement and the progress of the General
Plan Update with the community and to gain further review and comment in a casual, interactive
venue. Planning Staff uses a mobile display of graphics and printed materials as part of their
presentation. The presentation promises to be vibrantly visual and highly interactive. A "scribe" •
notes the thoughts and comments of the participants as the meeting progresses. The comments
are being forwarded to the GPAC for further consideration in finalizing the Vision Statement. The
presentation and comment period takes approximately an hour, but to accommodate groups and
organizations that have limited meeting times, staff has a 'condensed' version that can be
presented in as little as 30 minutes.
Approximately 150 service clubs and community groups have been contacted and invited to have
"The Road Show" team come to their regular organization meeting and make a presentation. The
original group of stakeholders that were interviewed last spring have also been contacted and
given the opportunity to participate and comment as well. The City Council and the Planning
Commission have been encouraged to provide staff with the contact information of any possible
additional stakeholders, so that a broader cross section of stakeholders could attend a Road Show
presentation. Three additional dates have been selected for workshops to capture those
individuals that may have missed a prior presentation intended for their specific community group •

and also for individuals newly identified as stakeholders. As of the presenting of this report,
approximately 30 Road Show presentation workshops have been scheduled and or conducted
thus far.
Additional objectives of these meetings are echoed in the printed materials that have been
prepared for distribution at the Road Show meetings. These objectives are to promote the Joint
City Council and Planning Commission workshop scheduled on March 12, 2009 to give a brief
introduction to the land use opportunity areas; and also to promote the Land Use Open
House/Community Fair event scheduled in May.
The presentation materials for the Road Show include:
• Vision Statement Flyer - the "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga" (Exhibit A) as drafted by the
General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC)
• General Plan/Opportunity Area/Schedule Flyer - a brief description of a General Plan with
an overview of the update process; a map highlighting potential opportunity areas; and a
graphically presented schedule of all the tasks and meetings involved for the update
process
• Joint Workshop Advertisement - announcing the Joint City Council/Planning Commission
meeting (Exhibit B)
• • Flyer/Mailer for Local Road Show Events - a document/template that can be updated as
needed to announce upcoming events (Exhibit C)
• PowerPoint Presentation - prepared by Hogle Ireland for staffs use during the Road Show
events which will contain the Vision Statement, a map depicting the opportunity areas, and
an advertisement encouraging people to attend the joint City Council/Planning Commission
Vision Statement workshop on March 12, 2009.
Additionally, and concurrently, the General Plan Update website has been updated to include a
member registration capability and enables the user to comment on articles online. The site
includes word censorship and has blog capability with security measures built in. The site is being
maintained throughout the 12-week project time period.
Following the Road Show events and the Joint City Council/Planning Commission/GPAC
workshop, staff will forward to the GPAC all the comments received during the Road Show
presentations and comments received from the City Council and Commission for a final review by
the GPAC. This will occur at the GPAC meeting slated for April 20, 2009. At this time, final
revisions to the draft Vision Statement will be incorporated before the final draft is moved on to the
Council for consideration and adoption tentatively slated for May 6, 2009.
Following the completion of the Road Show activities, a community workshop will be offered on
May 16, 2009 at Central Park for the purpose of a "Land Use Open House/Community Fair."
Invitations and public notice will be given announcing and encouraging attendance to this Saturday
morning event. Essentially, this will be a review of the maps and materials previously analyzed by
• staff and the GPAC this past fall. Staff and the consultant will be on hand to answer questions and

discuss land use opportunity areas with the public. The final GPAC meeting will follow on
June 15, 2009.
This has been a brief summary of the events which have occurred since our last update in October
and highlights of what activities lay ahead for the General Plan Update Process through spring,
2009. The General Plan and Environmental Impact Report Project Schedule has been attached
which also references a final workshop scheduled for September 26, 2009 called, "Test Drive the
Future," as well as the tentative timelines for the remaining phases of the environmental
assessment, review, and adoption process of the General Plan Update which will be
comprehensively covered in future updates. Additional attachments include the Draft Vision

THE SPIRIT Of RANCH CUCAMONGA
n 2001,following a participatory and creative process,
the City adopted a comprehensive planning document
to guide decisions over the next 20 years. This
1 document - the General Plan - builds upon prior
planning efforts that have been critical to Rancho
Cucamonga's success. Since 2001,the City and the region
Rancho have experienced noticeable economic changes, and
national and even global influences are affecting how
decisions are made. In response, and consistent with the
City's position as a leader in the Inland Empire, Rancho
Cucamonga Cucamonga is revisiting and refocusing planning policy to
INIO
address challenges and opportunities ahead.
•

the updated General Plan will enable the City to continue to
s , , enhance its unage within the region, diversify the
. commercial and industrial base, reinforce neighborhoods,
address circulation issues, and provide a high quality of life

Draft Guiding Principles
s part of a comprehensive program to plan for the
next 20 to 30 years, the City - with the assistance of
a committee comprised of residents and business
owners - has prepared these draft guiding principles:
the "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga." These principles
will be the foundation for the General Plan, establishing the vision •
and framework for future development and City services.
The City is presenting the draft "Spirit of Rancho Cucamonga" to
the community to hear your ideas about planning for the City's
future. Do these Guiding Principles statements reflect your vision
for the City? Review the Guiding Principles and tell us what is .
missing, what needs to be refined, and what should perhaps
not be included. These statements are written to reflect future
-onditions-what we aspire to achieve. Share your thoughts! •
The Spirit of Family
• . Rancho Cucamonga is a people-first community with a focus
on families. We strive to create an environment that leads to
stable and healthy families.
• Our economic development priorities are to support individuals
and families by providing high-quality services and facilities.
• We continue to develop and maintain a system of high-
quality, world-class community parks and sports complexes
that appeal to all ages and all interests, from local leagues to
national tournaments.
• We celebrate the family through community events such as
the Founders Day Parade, critically acclaimed performing
arts programs, and promotion of other family activities.
• We encourage the retention, rehabilitation, and development
of a diverse housing stock that caters to residents in all stages
of their lives.

The Spirit of Heritage
Write your comments rrei e:
• We have an abiding respect for the heritage we share.
Our historic communities - Alta Loma, Cucamonga,
and Etiwanda-are at the heart of our City and must be
preserved, honored, and enhanced. We encourage the
preservation and restoration of historical buildings and
cultural resources to recognize the contributions of our
forefathers.
• Foothill Boulevard (Route 66) is the historic thread that
ties our community together. We must continually
modernize the corridor while telling the story of the past
arid balancing preservation. This will be done through
the adaptive re-use of buildings, strong architectural
design, and public art.
• We promote the use of citrus and vineyard plantings to
remind us of our agricultural past.
• Our outstanding views of the mountains, the varied
natural topography of the area, and the trails that allow
us to access these open spaces are an asset and must
be preserved.
The Spirit of Independence and Self-Reliance
• Our City is committed to being a leader in providing a safe •
place to live,work, and play.
• We have a strong dedication to community planning.
The quality of our built environment is by design. Our
government leads by example. We are committed to
achieve higher standards for community development,
architecture, and landscaping. Our streetscapes reflect
the high-quality development that we demand while
embracing the concept of water conservation and ease
of maintenance.
•
• We promote sustainable neighborhood and building
design.
•
• The City promotes a balanced approach towards .
development that pays attention to long-term economic
strength and fiscal responsibility. A sustainable economy
requires a diversified employment and fiscal base. We
take pride in the fiscal soundness enjoyed by our City as
a result of solid development decisions, prudent financial
management, and a strong commitment by residents to
add value through their efforts.
