A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 86-03 AMENDING THE TEXT OF THE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA GENERAL PLAN.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held a duly advertised public
hearing to consider all comments on the proposed General Plan Amendment No.86-
03.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commission does hereby recommend approval to the City Council of the following
amendment to the Text of the General Plan.
SECTION 1: The General Plan Text (pages 33-34) shall be amended as
follows:
o Six residential density categories shall be established for
purposes of providing the City with a range of building
intensities that allow flexibility to deal with various site
constraints and opportunities.
Density (gross average)
Category Minimum Maximum
Very Low 0.1 2
Low 2 4
Low Medium 4 8
Medium 8 14
Medium High 14 24
High 24 30
Very Low (up to 2 dwelling units per gross acre). The very low
residential category is characterized by single-family homes on one-
half acre lots, or larger, as commonly found north of Banyan Street
and in the northeast portion of the City.
Low (2-4 dwelling units per gross acre). The low density
residential classification is characterized by single-family homes.
The density is appropriate where the traditional neighborhood
character of detached single-family units prevails and where the
level of services including roads, shopping and recreation are not
sufficient to justify a higher density.
Low Medium (4-8 dwelling units per gross acre). The low-medium
category is characterized by residential densities somewhat greater
than the low density residential group. With gross densities
averaging between 5-8 dwelling units per acre, considerably more
housing types may be used, including typical single-family, single-

family zero lot line, duplex, and under certain conditions up to 4-6
townhouse-type units. This category would be appropriate within low
density areas to encourage greater housing diversity without changing
the single-family character of the surrounding residential character.
Medium (8-14 dwelling units per gross acre). The medium density
residential classification allows living accommodations for medium
density multiple family use, with site development regulations that
assure development compatible with nearby lower density residential
development. Medium density residential serves as a buffer between
low density residential areas and areas of higher density, commercial
activities and areas of greater traffic and noise levels.
Medium-High (14-24 dwelling units per gross acre). This medium-high
residential density category is typified by low condominiums and
apartment buildings. This density is appropriate in proximity to
major community facilities and employment opportunities and along
major thoroughfares.
High (25-30 dwelling units per gross acre) . The high density
residential category is predominantly characterized by apartment
units and condominiums occurring at 3-6 stories in height. This
density is appropriate near community shopping complex and in
proximity to centers of employment.
o A planned development approach to residential development is
encouraged because it provides greater flexibility for the
project concept. Where site conditions merit, the City shall
encourage the clustering of housing which allows the maximum
usage of land while retaining needed open space and other
amenities.
o Areas specially designated in Figure III-1 shall be considered
areas where master planned developments are mandatory.
SECTION 2: A Negative Declaration is hereby recommended for
adoption by the City Council for this General Plan Amendment, based upon the
completion and findings of the Initial Study.
Resolution No.
