STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 17, 1983
To: Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Rick Gomez, City Planner
BY: Otto Kroutil, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: REGULATORY PROVISIONS C- THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN
At the January 12, 1983 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed a
substantial portion of the Regulatory Provisions and provided staff with
general direction on a number of items. The Commission should complete
the review of the Regulatory Provisions in two parts:
1. Review those items not yet discussed, including the following:
a. Windbreaks
b. Architectural and Design Guidelines
C. implementation
2. Complete review of items not fully resolved at previous meetings.
These include:
a. Use of Conditional Use Permit with optional standards
b. Use of gross acreages for density calculations under
optional development standards.
C. Incentives for the use of optional standards in the ER and
the L districts.
d. Incentives for equestrian development and equestrian
overlay district.
e. Alignment of the equestrian community :rail to connect
Victoria Planned Community with Fontana.
f. Other items the Commission may wish to discuss.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The following pages contains staff comments and
recommendations for Planning Commission consideration.

SPECIAL REGULATIONS (Sec. 5.4)
This section contains regulations and standards such as windrows, architecture
and design, parks, and similar topics.
Windrows.(Article 5.41)
The Policy Plan calls for the perpetuation of a windbreak system in
Etiwanda, while recognizing the hazards and problems associated with the
existing Blue Gum Eucalyptus. The standards contained in the Plan specify
a two - pronged approach:
1. Protect a limited number of existing blue gum windrows in specified
locations, where it is safe and most beneficial to the community.
These locations are defined in Figure 5.3 -8.
2. At the time of development, replace other windrows with better trees
with similar visual and wind protection qualities, based on the
established planting pattern and a formula of so many trees per
acre. The formula Figure 5.2 -2 and 5.2 -3, Basic and Optiondl
Standards) requires between 50 and 150 linear feet of new windrows
per acre, depend`ng on land use category. The new trees are of the
Eucalyptus macuiata (spotted gum) variety to be planted generally
resembling the existing windrows (see Figure 5.4 -1). The standards
also contain rriteria for grading, setbacks, maintenance and planting
as we i 1 as other a; eas.
The Commissior+ shou16 n to that the windrow policies and some is
standards were also :- 2%riewed by the Citizens Advisory Commission. At
their meeting of December 30, 1982, the CAC unanimously endorsed the
approach outlined in the Draft Etiwanda Plan.
RECOMMEENDATION: The Planning Commission is requested to consider public
comments and to provide ,staff with direction as aaoroariate.

ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN STANDARDS (Article 5.42)
The Architectural and Design Standards are intended to guarantee sensitivity
and compatibility of future development with the existing community. The
Standards vary in the degree of control based on the type of development, as
follows:
Project Twe Design Criteria
Single Family Projects of Least
4 dwellings or less Restrictive
Larger Residential Projects Slightly More
Under Basic Standards Restrictive
Larger Residential Projects More
Under Optional Standards Restrictive

chapter, net /gross acreages shall not include
land required for dedications of adjacent major
streets, but may include land to be used for
local streets and circulation.
.200 Permitted and Conditional Uses
The following schedule indicates by the
symbol "P" the uses that shall be permitted in
each Residential District, and by the symbol
"C" the uses that shall be permitted upon the

.302 Application of the Density Range Concept:
Each residential Land Use Designation defines a
permitted density range. The ultimate density
allowed will be determined by public heari 1gs
and specific site conditions. However, L e
following provisions shall apply:
(a) Projects which meet Basic
Development Standards may be
permitted to develop at the densities
specified in Table 5.2 -2, which are
generally in the lower end of each
density range.
(b) Projects may also be filed under the
Options! Development Standards, Table
5.2 -3 which generaly allow densities uo
to�the maximum permitted in each
Tensity range. However, the Optional
Development standards are generally
more demanding, to offset the impact

GENERAL
It is not the intent of the Etiwanda Specific Plan to accelerate
.�./�

�(Lv under or discourage reasonable growth. Rather, its maJor
Purpose is to assure that when development does occur, it
manner t consistent �a City a whole, and is alsos
Of Etiwanda as mensflt eto the identity nd c- munity. c;aracte
For that reason, the Etiwanda Specific Plan is not an "action"
doLniment, in that it contains no programs which would put the
Et wander, the position of actively promoting development in
Consequently, the impetus for development will
come from the private sactor, and the Specific Plan will be
implemented by both the private developers on a
project-by- project basis, and by the City and other public
agencies through the timing and improvement of key public
facilities.
9.2 DEVELOPMENT P80PCSALS
The processing and review of development
Etfwanda shall be subject to established Procedures effect in
the entire City, including Development and Design Review,
Subdivision Map review, and Growth Management, as specified
in the City's Municipal Code. However, the criteria used in the
evaluation of each development proposal in Etitvanda shall be
based on the objectives, policies, and specific development
standards specified herein.
6.3 HIPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC FACILiTIE4
6.31 INTENT
The intent of this section is to provide
recommendations to establish a framework for insuring
logical development of public and semi -public
facilities in the Etiwanda Specific Plan ar This
section provides an overview of how the development
Process provides for construction of all public
facilities, the financing alternatives available for
development of public facilities, and recommends an
implementation strategy to assure successful
completion of maintenance of facilities.
6 -i r

6.32 DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES
In Etiwanda there will be a need for several types of
Public and semi- public facilities which require careful
planning in order to assure the logical integration of
these facilities into the physical environment. These
facilities include roads, sewer systems, water systems,
parks, trails, behools and windbreaks. The tinning and
phasing of the facilities varies depending on the type
of service. Some of these facilities, such as schools
and parks, require a level of development prior to their
installation. Other facilities, such as roads, sewers,
and water, require a logical phasing and service
pattern in order to minimize the cost of service to an
area. A,so,.- windrow or trail development and
maintenance can be phased incrementally as
surrounding development occurs.
.100 Growth Management Process
The Growth Management process is a syste*n
which is used to review proposed residential
development. The process requires that
® residential projects be reviewed through the use
of specific development criteria. Projects
which do not meet the criteria are not
approved. The result of this Growth
Management review provides
A. A review process which is object'veiy
linked to the goals and policies of the
community.
b. That residential development and the
accompanying facilities occur in an
orderly fashion.
.200 Land Use Aelationshi

.300 Limiting Factors
Certain impiemer_ting programs. including
completion of major infrastructure along-gem 24th Street Parkway, end the
ongoing maintenance of trails and windbreaks
must be specifically ads essed as a unique
situation in the development of Etiwanda. A
significant factor in limiting the assurances of
orderly development of these systems is the
fractured Parcel and ownership pattern which
exists in Etiwanda (Figure 2.4). Unlike other
planned communities with Isrge lot ownership
Patterns or single ownership, Etiwanda has a
multitude of ownerships which Will make
orderly Phased development difficult. However,
certain implementing policies and programs can
be developed to compensate for this condition.
�
c'hese will be discussed in the next section.
IMPLEMENTING AND FINANCING ALTERNATIVES
The following discusses methods which a. used to
Provide for development of public facilities and their
maintenance.
.100 Development Improvement Requirements
The City has adopted various development
requirements which are necessary prior to
development of a Project. These development
requirements occur in three areas:
.101 Fees
6 -3
These are used to support a service or
assist in development of some
systems. These fees a.^e used for park
standard
develop-
ment facilities, drainage and
school improvements.
i
r�
E
0
11
.102 Dedications
The dedication of either easements or
total fee to the public facility
systems. Typically, this would include
streets, trails, parks and other
infrastructure.
.103 Improvements
The projects would be required to
provide for actual improvements.
Traditionally, this is used for roads,
trails, and possibly parks. Additional
improvements in this Specific Plan may
include features of the optional
ilpvelopment standards including
hi.-idscaping, windbreaks, greenway
systems, and private open spare.
.20G Assessment District
California law authorizes a variety of
assessment procedures which can be employed
to pay for development of major capital
expenditures. Through the assessment district,
imancing is arranged from bc- ds. Obligation
for payment of the financing is shared by those
within the assessment district. Approval of the
assessment district requires a substantial
majority of properly owners to agree to the
formation of the district. This system works
best for projects o. limited scope and purpose.
The advantage o' this financing mechanism is
that it provides for a means to complete an
overall expansion of a project at one time, thus
assuring logical development and obtaining the
efficiency of completion of the project in one
setting.
6 -4 \
j�

.300 Maintenan m District
Because both u:e 'T.-,Ass system and windbreak
system on public a ;ements or private property
will r-.quire mahn'' er:ance, some form of
maintenance will be necessary. A maintenance
&stiiet -: a common practice for assuring for
the ongo�rg revenues to support their service.
Maintenance districts can include a large area
of mud: iple parcel ownerships with an annual
assessment being made to cover the necessary
maintenance of systems within the district
area.
.400 General Fund or Special Fund Revenues
: ojects which s�nnot be complet y
private opment activity, may mpleted
by the use of sl funds o ecial funds and
capital improvemen ems. For example,
improvements the ss which would
front the high schoo a may be
fund ugh the use of gas tax rev set
I for construction of roads.
.500 Other Tools
In the past, redevelopment agencies have been
used to provide for completion of major
infrastructure. However, recent constraints on
the use of this system have created difficulty in
that redevelopment agencies are no longer able
to liberally define the use of redevelopment law
for areas not subject to severe blight, such as
economic decay or flood problems. Careful
analysis should be made as to the appropriate
use of this mechanism. On --?ecial defined
needs not included in the existing development
requirements, special fees may be required.
For example, in the industrial area where local
flood conditions exist, drainage fees are
required in order to assure for adequate
completion of the storm drain system. In the
Etiwanda area, use of gas tax may be
considered for a3mpletion of roadway systems.

Im
6.34 IMPLEIAENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The following discussion represents special recommen-
dations which should be enacted in the City's program
for development review and growth management in
order to assu.e basic improvement` of certain systems
within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area.
.100 Improvement Phasing
East Avenue bypass represents a uni
v on because it will provide for ew
major fic carrier in the Etiwanda a. It
also is ended to provide f traffic
orientation a from areas to west of this
traffic carrier. 'cal pha ' of construction
of the facility sho ti to early devel ,)p -
ment along the corri in two sections; the
area south of to Southern Pacific
railroad tracks, a area rth of Highland
to 24th Str Prior to pletion of
significant elopment upon ei_th section,
assuran uld be made for the comp 'on of
that ffie carrier to support a mini m
se demand on two traffic lanes and accom
ying infrastructure.
The phasing of completion on the 24th Street
loop should be determined at the time the
Foothill Community Plan for the area north of
Etiwanda has been completed. The examination
should be made of both the design and develop-
ment of 24th Street loop as ham been shown for
the East Avenue bypass.
.200 Reimbursement Agreements
Where appropriate, the City should consider
authorizing reimbursement agreements between
private developments and the City to cover
improvement costs beyond these required as a
Part of the project. Tinder these provisions, the
City will enter into an agreement with the
developer to complete a facility to reimburse
them for the portion of improvement costs
beyond their responsibility. The City would
then reimburse the developer on charges
collected from benefiting properties.

Avenue Bypass so of nd be completed
to a minimum, el of service. ese improve-
ments wo include appropriate in cture,
inclu ' o sewer facilities, storm drain fa 'ties,
improvements, and traffic signals.
.400 Systems Develooment Fees
Where appropriate, a systems development fee
accompanying development in Etiwanda should
be specifically directed towards assisting the
improvements of minimum service standards for
24th Street Parkway' and
appropriate traffic signals. Such assistance
should be used in order to assure logical phasing
of the development of these road systems.
Particular attention_ should be made to assure
the development adjacent to public facilities
would not be required to provide for dedication
of a new road system.
.500 Maintenance District
Upon adoption of the Speck Plan, recommen-
dations to develop trail systems and windbreaks
on public rights -of -way should be implemented
through the development of a maintenance
district. The City should undertake the appro-
priate study towards the creation of a
maintenance district for community trails and
windbreaks in Etiwanda.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMDNGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING CERTIFICATION
OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PREPARED FOR GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT 83 -018 AND FOR THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN
TO THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, a draft Environmental Impact Report was prepared to address
the potential environmental effects of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and
associated General Plan Amendment 83 -01B; and,
WHEREAS, the draft EIR has undergone the required public review
period; and.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held several duly advertised
public hearings; and,
WHEREAS, all comments from responding agencies and interested
individuals have been carefully considered.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga does hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS
1. The final Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, and State and local EIR
guidelines.
2. The final Environmental Impact Report contains
appropriate measures to mitigate potential
environmental impacts, and adequately addresses all
reasonable environmental concerns generated by the
project.
SECTION 2: RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above findings, the Planning Commission
recommends to the City Council that the final
Environnental Impact Report be certified for adequacy,
and that the City Council adopt the following statement
of overriding considerations:
"Future development proposals submitted under the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and associated General Plan
Amendment 83 -01B have the potential for creating some
significant environmental effects which cannot be fully
mitigated. These effects, identified in the final EIR,
are the unavoidable result of development taking place in
a largely undeveloped community.
0
11
Resolution No.
Page 2
However, the degree of these impacts is being mitigated
to the fullest extent feasible through the measures
incorporated into the EIR and the draft Specific Plan.
The Etiwanda Specific Plan itself is a measure to
mitigate potential adverse impacts of development on the
existing community which would otherwise occur without a
planned and comprehensive approach. The draft Specific
Plan contains provisions tailored to the community of
Etiwanda and is meant to replace existing City -wide
zoning regulations that could cause damage to Etiwanda's
unique qualities and community traits.
Consequently, the,adoption of the Etiwanda Specific Plan
and General Plan Amendment 83 -OIB will result in
potential environmental effects that are substantially
less significant in scope and extent than those effects
which would otherwise occur under current General Plan
and zoning regulations."

associated with the proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan, and with the
General Plan Amendment being proposed as a result of recommendations
within the Draft Etiwanda Specific Plan. Since the Amendment and the
Etiwanda Specific Plan are the result of the same planning, public
review, and decision making process, one Environmental Impact Report is
al? that is required for both, provided that the concerns resulting from
both t :,e amendment and the Specific Plan are adequately addressed.
On May 26, 1982, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cecamonga
held a public hearing to review the potential adverse effects the
proposed plan may have on the environment. During the public hearing,
the Commission reviewed the Initial Study and made a determination that
an Environmental Impact Report, focused on the topics of soils and
ge:)iogy, hydrology, biota, population and socio /economics, land use,
transportation, cultural resources, health, safety and nuisance factors,
aesthetics and utilities, and public services should be prepared.
Since then, a number of public meetings, and several public hearings,
were held to discuss the Specific Plan and Draft Environmental Impact
Report. In addition, the Draft EIR was distributed to various State and
local agencies for their comment and input.

AGENCY: SANTA ANA REGIONAL WATER QUAD TY CONTROL BOARD
COMMENTS: The Regional Water Quality Control Board felt the report
should discuss in greater detail the current and future
methods of collection and disposal of wastewater generated
within the area of the Specific Plan.
RESPONSE: Methods of collection and disposal of wastewater for the
area are fairly straight forward. Areas to the south of
Highland Avenue (or proposed Route 30) will be serviced by
the Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) with sewer
systems, as development occurs. The Sewer System Master
Plan for the District (adopted December 1982) has planned
for the service of the area and for wastewater treatment
with the Chino Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD).
The amount of wdstewater anticipated ds a result of the
Specific Plan is approximately 2.0 million gallons per
day *(mg /d). Wastewater planned for in the Sewer System
Master Plan as a result of the existing General Plan is
3.5 (mg /d). 40
The City of Rancho Cucamonga's Growth Management Ordinance
requires as a condition of all residential developments,
that public services be provided before development can
take place.
These services include sewer and water systems, utility
hook -ups, schools and police services, among oth3rs.
As stated in the EIR, the 5,.KWQCB (p. 3 -8) considers devel-
opment of greater than 2 du's /ac questionable for septic
wastewater disposal. For this reason, the area north of
Highland is, for the most part, designated for Very !ow
Residential, 0 -2 du's /ac. There is an area of about 200
acres designated for 2 -4 du's /ac which will be req-iired to
show proof to the SARWQCB and the City that groundwater
degradation will not occur, as a condition of development
approval. Supplemental treatment of the wastewater in
excess of that allowed will be required.

RESPONSE, Contd.
The SARWQCB presently reviews for water quality protection
all developmert proposals planning to utilize septic waste-
water systems, of 5 or more residential units (tracts) or that
create a wastewater flow of 5,000 gal /day (standard sewage
rate calculations are 2 70 -300 gal /day /du).
RECOMMENDATION: planning staff recommends this information be added to
the EIR along with the following mitigation measures.
Mitigation Measures:
The Community Development Department should develop a pro-
cedure to ensure the SARWQCB reviews residential development
of 5 du's /ac or more, or, that creates a wastewater flow of
5,000 gal /day or more.

COMMENTS: Comments by the State Department of Water Resources were
brief. Submitted to us was a general list of recommenda-
tions related to water conservation and flood damage
prevention. Also mentioned was the consideration of a
comprehensive program to use reclaimed water for irrigation
Purposes.
RESPONSE: The list of recommendations s• :'emitted by the Department of
Water Resources was circulated through the Planning,
Engineering and Buiiding D_partments. A number of items
are presently being considered by these departments as
appropriate on a City -wide basis. These items have been
indicated on the attached list. The remaining items should
be retained for future consideration for inclusion into our
Community Development Department Guidelines.
Such specific items would not be appropriate for inclusion into
the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Rather, as development proposals
occur within the area of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, these
recommendations should be consi& -ed on a project by project
basis depending on specific circumstances.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff reccmmends that those E^ecomnaendations not already
in use be considered on a project by project basis for the Etiwanda area,
and that the EIR include a statement to that effect.

COMMENTS: Concerns of the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) were
regarding the spreading grounds near and particularly
within the project area belonging to the San Bernardino
County Flood Control District (SBCFCD). (Victoria
Basin is located at the intersection of Victoria Avenue
and the Devore Freeway, and is designated as an open
space flood control area.) V4D is concerned with tres-
passers onto these County lands and the provision of
security measures incorporated to protect the grounds.
Contact should be made with the SBCFCD.
RESPONSE: The City has been preparing for coordination with the
SBCFCD for development relationships along and near their
flood control property, not only surrounding Victoria Basin,
but along Eas" r�iwanda and San Sevaine Creeks as well.
Pre- planned security measures are not felt to be appropriate
at this time due to the wide variety of circumstances that
may occur with development of individual properties
bordering these areas. As development occurs adjacent to
the SBCFCD property, each proposal will be assessed
individually and coordination will occur with the district.

COMMENTS: The comments of t.`.e Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD)
were generally favorable, stating the EIR appears to adequately
cover the concerns and requirements of the CCWD. They do,
however, stress the need for water conservation, and identify
concern fer the area north of Highland, designated as an
on -site waste management zone.
RESPONSE: Those items identified from the list of recommendations
for water conservation, supplied by the Department of Water
Resources, also address the concerns of the CCWD. In
addition, as mentioned to the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board response, the area referred to as suitable
for on -site treatment of wastewater will be monitored carefully.
Density will be kept to z maximum of 2 du /ac, with the exception
of one particular area des'3'gnated for 2 -4 du /ac, where the
developer will be required to show that no degradation to
the water basin will occur as a condition of development.
No additional measures appear necessary.
AGENCY: CHINO BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
COMMENTS: The Chino Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) provided some
updated information regarding the 29.5 MGD (miilion gallons
per day) expansion of Regional Plant #1 in Ontario, informing
staff that the project will tentatively begin construction in
March 1983, with completion by mid -1584. The Fontana Inter-
ceptor, planned to bring wastewater from Fontana will pass
by the Etiwanda area and pick up anticipatek: wastewater.
This -is scheduled for completion by mid -1984 also.
The CBMWD has also expressed concern that the EIR address
the actual rate of sewage anticipated to come out of the
Etiwanda area at build out, plus the rate of septic flow
as well. This should be compar.d to the Sewer Master Plan
for the Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) fe, consis-
tency with their projection.

=ontana Interceptor is planned to accept 2.4
MGD, with the other 1.1 being accepted by
of the system.
According to Jim Cline of the CCWD, a good estimate for
calculating sewage rate generated is a figure of 270 gal /day
pe dwelling unit in an area lacking substantial commercial
and industrial uses. Using this factor, staff estimates
approximately .643 MGD of on -site system generation for the
area north of Highland and 1.389 MGD for the area south of
Highland. Roughly 400 du's on 100 acres outside of the
Specific Plan boundaries will also be serviced on these
sewage lines. Therefore, the total estimated sewage generated
will be 2.14 MGD minus the amount that will not be transported
for treatment results in 1.497 MGD to be accepted by Regional
Plant #1 in Ontario. This figure is well below the anticipated
2.4 MGD anticipated for the Fontana Interceptor and the 3.5
MGD anticipated for the entire area.
RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff recommends incorporating the sewerage
generation figures into the EIR, along with the updated information on
Regional Plant #1 expansion and estimated dates of completion.

COMMENTS: The Department of Transportation had numerous comments
regarding traffic generation and mitigation measures and
their phasing. Planning Staff has submitted these comments
to Engineering for response. Comments that do relate to
Planning cover: 1) A request to consider the worst -case
scenario and to assume the maximum number of dwelling
units possible under the plan; and, 2) that the report
does not address air quality impacts.
RESPONSE-
The report should address the worst case scenario. The
maximuri number of dweliings. theoretically possible under the
Specific Plan is 7527. The General Plan land use element
Which would have allowed up tc 10,472 dwellings is
being amended as a part of the process to be consis itself
tent with the
Specific Plan.
Air quality impacts were not addressed in the EIR, as the
current General Plan EIR had already addressed this issue,
the region's mairnqualityfhaselessened3frowhich Will impact
Planned.
A summary of the current General Plan's mitigation measures
for air quality applicable to the Specific Plan area includes:
1) the reduction or elimination of vehicle trips through
the expansion or provision of non - motorized transportation
facilities (bicycle and pedestrian trails);
2? the reduction of vehicle trip distance through laid use
coordination (in -fill development and an employee /housing
balance);
3) improvement of traffic flow along streets by providing
adequate sizing of streets and timing of traffic signals.
4) Providing transit systems where feasible.
The Specific Plan has conscientiously considered all of the
above measures for reducing vehicle air emissions. "he Plan
calls for an extensive interior pedestrian /bicycle trail
system which relates residential uses to neighborhood
commercial centers. The number of these neighborhood commercial
centers, along with scme office professional uses, has also
increased to more adequately provide services to local residents.
These are all a part of the Planned Unit Development concept
of land use coordination which was utilized in the Plan, where
feasible.

RESPONSE, Contd.
Traffic flow was covered extensively and analyzed for
adequacy and anticipated traffic flow. Additional comments
on traffic will be addressed in this report by the Engineering
Staff. Transit systems were reviewed for feasib*'lity. It
was determined that due to the low density of the area, the
only feasible bus route was along Baseline Avenue.
RECOMMENDATIONS: it is recommended that the EIR include information
based on the worst case scenario (maximum number of dwellings = 7,527).
Other issues are addressed separately in the attached City Engineer's

AGENCY: CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DISTRICT 08.
COMMENTS: Air quality impacts should be discussed,
RESPONSE: The Rancho Cucamonga General Plan discusses air quality
conditions, levels and types of pollutants and regional and
topographical conditions affecting air quality. The Air Quality
Management Plan for the South Coast Air Basin recommends
implementation of control strategies to comply with state and
federal mandates to improve air quality. The San Bernardino
Associated Governments (SANBAG) is coordinating countywide
efforts to secure commitments from cities. The measures include
modified work schedules, carpool /vanpooi preferential parking,
increased bicycle /pedestrian facilities, employee ridesharing,
traffic signal synchronization and street light conversions.
Based on these control strategies the General Plan includes
mitigation measures affecting the circulation system and land
use policies to reduce vehicle emissions. Incorporated in the
General Plan are the following:
- Expand transit and non - motorized travel (pedestrian amenities,
bicycle trails, equestrian facilities) to reduce vehicle miles
of travel;
- Street improvements and signal installations to reduce
congestion and resulting pollution; and
Implement land use policies to promote in- filling, reduce travel
distance, and balance employment and housing to encourage
transit usage and reduce veh'cular traffic.
Because the City itself cannot implement and enforce contaols on
vehicle emissions, the City must coordinate and cooper --*_ with
agencies such as the California Air Resources Board anc ;t'
South Coast Air Quality Management District, which do have such
authority.
RECOMMENDATION: The analysis and mitigations shown in the General Plan appear
adequate for the Etiwanda area. The Specific Plan need not be amended.
COMMENTS: The Etiwanda Specific Plan E.I.R. should include as mitigation
measures carpooling, vanpooiing, public transit, park and ride
facilities and pedestrian accomodations.
RESPONSE; A Transportation Systps: Management Program is an integral part
of the Rancho cucamonga General Plan and will be implemented on
a city -wide basis tc alleviate congestion, conserve fuel and
reduce air pollution. Mitigation measures contained in the
General Plan which are relevant to the Etiwanda Specific Plan
include:
Regional bus routes through main activity areas.

and shopping centers.
Bike routes linking residential areas to places of work or

predetermine routing of bus transportation.
RECOMMENDATION: Mitigation measures relevant to the Etiwanda area are
included in the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. They need not be duplicated in
the Specific Plan-
E.
® COMMENTS: Industrial developments should consider the use of flex -time and
ridesharing coordinators.
RESPONSE: The area included in the Etiwanda Specific Pian E.I.R. does not
contain indusrial development.
RECOMMENDATION: None.
COMMENTS: Phasing of transporation system improvements should be discussed
with regards to levels of development.
RESPONSE: Development within the Etiwanda area is expected to occur
adjacent to the Victoria development south of Highland Avenue
and east of Etiwanda Avenue. Residential building is also
expected to occur near Summit Avenue. Developers will be bonded
and responsible for off -site street improvements based upon the
location and size of their protects. This procedure is standard
for all areas of Rancho Cucamonga.
RECOMMENDATION: None.
COMMENTS: Construction of Route 30 shall not be considered as a mitigation
measure.
RESPONSE: The General Plan incorporates the proposed Foothill Freeway
providing east -west corridor service through the City. Due to
this fact, Route 30 as a mitigation measure is redundant and
should be dropped from the mitigation measures in the draft
E.I.R..
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the E.I.R. not contain references to
proposed :route 30 as a mitigation measure.
COMMENTS: Assess impact of development on Route 30 as it presently exists
and as a new higher level facility, on Interstate 15 aAd on
Route 66. The cumulative impact of all development in this area
on each State facility should be assessed.
RESPONSE: The cumulative impact of development within the Rancho Cucamonga
area on Route 66, Interstate 15 and Route 30 has been evaluated
based on a report by DKS Associates (Rancho ucamonga City -Wide
and Industrial Area Traffic Study, 1980). The study area
extended from Pomona to San Bernardino and from Riverside to the
San Gabriel Mountains. A substantial number of through trips
utilize State highways and were assigned to those roadway
networks in the traffic study.
The following table shows traffic volumes for State routes.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON STATE ROUTES
Route 30 as Freeway Route 30 as Exists
Proposed Route 30 61,000 10,000
Route 66 31,000 37,400
Interstate 15 28,000 32,000
As the table indicates, the overall impact on Route 66 increases
traffic by about 20 percent with a 15 percent increase or
traffic on Iterstate 15.
The impact of Etiwanda area traffic included in this analysis is
based on General Plan densities of 10,472 dwellings. The
Etiwanda Specific Plan has reduced densities to 7,527 dwellings,
a reduction of 28 percent. Volumes on State facilities can be
expected to be somewhat lower than this analysis shows. With or
without Route 30 as a freeway, Foothill Boulevard will remain a
six lane divided arterial within Etiwanda. Highland Avenue, as
an existing standard arterial will not attract significant
traffic because it is out -of- direction for many trips. Etiwanda
tr— fic is not of significant magnitude to affect roadway
capacities of State facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: None.

Dear Mr. Rroutil:
Draft Environmental Impact Report
for Etiwanda Specific Plan
Thank you for your letter dated December 8, 1982,
transmitting the draft EIR for the Etiwanda area in the City
of Rancho Cucamonga. We have reviewed the EIR and have com-
ments on the spreadira grounds which are on the property of
the San Bernardino Countv Flood Control District ( SCFCD).
We, through our member public agency, Chino Basin
® Municipal Water District_, are presently spreading State project
water in portions of the East Etiwanda and San Sevaine spreading
grounds as mentioned in the referenced EIR on pages 3 -7 and 3 -70,
and as shown in Figure 3.2 -1. In addition, we plan to expand our
spreading program to make full use of all of the available areas
in these spreading grounds and in the Victoria Basin sometime after
a current feaFibility study is completed in April 1983, subject
to approval by our Board. For your information, Victoria Basin
is located in the vicinity of the point where both the East
Etiwanda and San Sevaine Creeks cross under the Devore Freeway
and is shown as a flood control area just north of Victoria
Avenue in your Figure 3.5 -1.
On pace 3 -10 of the referenced EIR, it states that
under policies and objectives of the General Plan, these areas
(spreading grounds) are to be protected to maintain their ground-
water replenishing capabilities. With the proposed urbanization
of the Etiwanda area and the resulting increase in number of
people, trespassers on the spreading grounds may become an
increasing problem. Therefore, any development adjacent to these
grounds should incorporate security measures to protect the
grounds. These spreading grounds are located on property owned
by the SBCFCD, and therefore, they should be contacted regarding
specific requirements they may have.

The subject report forwarded by your December 8, 1982, letter, Is
appears to adequately cover the concerns and requirements of
the Cucamonga County Water District relating to water and
sewer
Future development will result in additional demand upon the
water sup,,ly and distribution system thereby increasing the
need for imported water. Increased water requirements in the
future will iinpact C.C.W_D. in its ability to serve its area
-if responsibility. The need to develop water conservation
measures in the Specific Plan cannot be over - emphasized. The
requirement for highly landscaped areas should be reviewed,
and for those that are approved the use of drought resistant
plantings and other water conservation measures are considered
essential.
Every effort should be made to recharge the groundwater basin
from run -oaf and drainage facilities.
As defined in the Cucamonga County water District Sewer Master
Plan, the area north of Highland Avenue has been designated as
an onsite waste management zones (Oswmz)_ Currently, this area
is utilizing septic tanks and soil absorption systems for waste-
water management. Alternative onsite treatment units may be

We have reviewed the above - referenced document and request
consideration of the following:
The report indicates "...an estimated buildout of 6,823 (dwelling)
units" (page "J -16); however, as many as 10,472 are possible under the
current General Plan. Without a committment to a spersific number of
dwelling units, it would be most appropriate for the report to
consider the higher figure in order to assess the worst -case
situation. While Alternative 1 does mention a range of dwelling
units from 3,310 to 10,472, it is only a cursory assessment and as
such does not provide an adequate level of detail to be deemed as
having addressed the worst -case situation.
Traffic generated by implementation of this Specific Plan will
significantly affect circulation in the area. Among the mitigation
measures proposad for traffic impacts is the as:.umed construction of
the Foothill Freeway (State Route 30). It should be noted that there
is uncertainty regarding the status of this facility and as such, the
report should fully address what impa--ts development of the area will
have on State Route 30 for both of the following pos -oibilities:
1. Existing facility is left as is; no new facility is constructed.
2. A new facility is constructed on adopted freeway alignment.
In any event, the construction of this facility (should it occur),
should not be considered as a mitigation measure. The report should
also address impacts to Interstate 15 and State Route 66 (Foothill
Boulevard). The report should also include a discussion of the
cumulative impacts to all three of :,zese facilities considering other
developments in this area, including. `,,t not limited to, Victoria
and Terra Vista Planned Communities.

SECTION 2• TRAILS
The General Plan Master P'aan of Trails is modified in accordance with
Figure 4, and to include the following:
a. New trail along East Avenue, between 24th Street and S.P.R.R.
b. New east /west trail connecting Victoria Park Lane with Fontana at
east city limits.
C. Continuation of trail along Ea�, Etiwanda Creek to S.P.R.R. and
, eyond.
SECTION 3: CIRCULATION
The General Plan Circulation Plan is amended in accordance with
attached Figure 5, to include the following modifications:
1. Addition of an east -west special design divided arterial in the
area of 24th Street to connect Day Creek Boulevard with Cherry
Avenue and Route 15 in a smooth and efficient manner which will
encourage traffic from the sphere of influence area to direct
around the Etiwanda core area to gain access to destinations
farther south. The ignment of this roadway is along a future
street contemplated by County planners, MWD right -of -way and open
areas.
2. Realignment of Summit Avenue east of East Avenue to continue its
easterly direction for an additional one -half mile before turning
north -east to intersect with future Day Creek Boulevard (24th
Street, "umbrella loop "). This will provide better access to the
property in the area which is heavily encumbered with flood
control easements.
3. Reduction of Etiwanda Avenue from a secondary arterial to a
collector (existing width) from Highland Avenue to Summit Avenue
and an increase in classification from secondary arterial to
major arterial between Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard. This
is in keeping with refinements made in traffic volume projections
during the Etiwanda Plan process.
The designation of E;.iwarda Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and
Highland Avenue is proposed to remain the same.
4. Reduction of Miller Avenue east of Etiwanda Avenue from secondary
arterial to collector to reflect a reduction in projected traffic
volumes.
