RE COMMENDAT ION:
D iscuss the vision f or the future [of the General P lan] for the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the values
behind the vision.
BACKGROUND:
T he City's General P lan was last updated in 2010. A s the General P lan nears ten years old, the City is
preparing to initiate a comprehensive update to the G eneral Plan, which will include a lengthy public
outreach process. I n order to start the General P lan update on a direction that is the most compatible with
the vision for the C ity's future, staff is looking f or direction f rom the C ity C ouncil and Planning C ommission
on the broad aspirations, hopes and ideals upon which the General Plan update should be founded.
ANALY S IS:
W hile state law does not set deadlines for cities to update their General Plans, it does set the expectation
that cities maintain and regularly update their General Plans. T he City's General P lan is nearing 10 years
old. Over the course of the last ten years, there have significant changes to the legislation governing
General P lan requirements such as safety, housing, traffic, environmental justice, and climate change. T he
region has also begun to experience significant demographic shif ts as the B aby B oomer generation
moves into retirement and Millennials have moved into adulthood and the job market in f ull force.
Additionally, the C ity's Housing Element is due to be updated by the F all of 2021 and the State is
signif icantly decreasing local control over housing and moving towards increasing f inancial penalties for
non-compliance. F or these reasons, C ity staf f is preparing to initiated a comprehensive update to the
General P lan which will include the Housing E lement.
Over the course of the last few months, City staff met with City C ouncil twice to discuss economic
development objectives. During the final City Council study session, staf f received feedback f rom the C ity
C ouncil that the ideal of creating a "World C lass Community" is still a high priority f or the City C ouncil.
Additionally, during the study session, the City Council shared that creating a high quality community where
residents enjoy bountif ul opportunity and a high quality of lif e are important economic development
objectives.

W ith this recent input and the age of the General P lan as context, staf f is seeking more specific input from
the City Council and Planning C ommission on the vision for R ancho Cucamonga as a world class
community, as well as the values, interests, and priorities that surround this vision, in order to appropriately
set the stage for the update to the City's General Plan. T he Study S ession will include a f acilitated
interactive conversation designed to elicit the values, interests and priorities as they relate to the C ity
C ouncil and P lanning Commission's vision for the f uture.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact.
COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRE S S E D:
Better understanding of the City Council's vision for the C ity's future will enable staf f to more effectively
work towards creating and sustaining a P remier C ity in the region.
