Welday, Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer By: Jerry A. Dyer, Principal Civil Engineer Subject: TRAIL PRIORITIES LIST ANNUAL REVIEW RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Trails Advisory Committee review and approve the recommended Trail Priorities List. BACKGROUNDIANALYSIS The Trails Advisory Committee provides priorities to staff for construction and completion of trails throughout the City through the annual Trail Priorities List. Given limited funding for construction of the City's trail system, existing trails have been typically constructed in conjunction with development or through the use of funds collected as part of the Beautification Fee program. In 2014, the City reviewed the development related fee programs and eliminated the Beautification Fee program. In addition to Beautification Fee funds, the City has utilized funds from the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and grant programs such as the Federal and State Safe Routes to School program (SRTS) and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 program TDA) to construct trail improvements. Trail projects cts completed since Fiscal Year 2012/2013 include: • Foothill Boulevard Bike and Pedestrian Bridge - $9,000,000 (RDA) • Deer Creek Bike Trail Improvements - $200,000 (SRTS & Beautification Fee funds) • Day Creek & Deer Creek Bike Trail Improvements - $300,000 (TDA & local Infrastructure funds) Current grant opportunities for trail improvements are limited and although the City has been competitive in obtaining grant funds in the past, the use of these funds is limited to certain modes of transportation such as pedestrians and bicycles. Given these limited funding opportunities, it is recommended that the Committee approve the recommended Trail Priority List. If approved, this list will serve as guidance to staff in prioritizing projects for future grant opportunities. It should be noted that the projects listed may not meet-the requirements for future grants. In these cases, staff will continue to attempt to identify projects that both meet grant requirements and further the development of the City's trail system. RECOMMENDED TRAILS PRIORITY LIST 1. Archibald Avenue from north of Norbrook Drive to Carrari Street -- Trail on the west side and continuation of the existing trail on Archibald Avenue. Note, this trail improvement removes a section of public LMD landscaping and trees, thus reducing water costs and maintenance, and most likely reducing the overall cost of maintenance along this stretch. This project has been included in the proposed Capital Improvements Program for funding in Fiscal Year 2016/2017 with remaining Beautification Fee funds in the amount of$150,000. 2. Archibald Avenue east side widening north of Sunflower-Trail on the east side completing the missing link of trail from the north to the south.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND VARIANCE DRC2015-00177 — RAYMOND WANG --A request to reduce the required minimum parcel size and average parcel size related to the subdivision of a 0.94-acre parcel of land into two parcels that are within the Equestrian Overlay and Hillside Overlay in the Very Low(VL) Residential District, located at the northeast corner of Almond Street and Almond Court. -APN: 1074-041-01. Related file. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19615. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff requests that the Trails Advisory Committee members review the proposed trail layout and provide input and direction. PROJECT OVERVIEW: The applicant is requesting to subdivide a property of 0.94-acre, located at the northeast corner of Almond Street and Almond Court, into two residential lots. The project site is within the Very Low (VL) Residential District, and within the Equestrian and Hillside Overlays. The minimum lot size in the Very Low(VL) Residential District is 20,000 square feet and the required average lot size is 22,500 square feet. Lot#1 .is 21,700 square feet and Lot#2 is 19,530 square feet, with an average lot size of 20,615 square feet. A Variance (related file: DRC2015-00177) has been submitted by the applicant requesting a reduction of 1,885 square feet in the required 22,500 square foot average lot size and a reduction of 470 square feet in the required minimum lot size of Lot#2. The project adheres to all other development criteria including parcel width and parcel depth.. The Development Code requires corner lots to be 100 feet wide, interior lots to be 90 feet wide, and each lot to be a minimum of 200 feet in depth. Corner Lot #1 is 100 feet wide, while interior Lot #2 is 90 feet wide. Each parcel is 217 feet deep. ANALYSIS: The proposed project will meet the requirements of the Trails Implementation Plan. Residential development, with lots of 20,000 square feet (minimum) in area, within the Equestrian Overlay are required to include a 15-foot wide easement for a private equestrian trail with associated improvements. A 15-foot wide easement and trail is proposed along the north side of Lot #1 (only) and will provide trail access to Almond Court for both lots. A gate at Lot#2 will provide'access to the trail on Lot#1 and, therefore, continuing the easement and trail across Lot#2 is unnecessary. There will be a condition of approval on the Final Map that requires that both lots have access to this trail. Residential development in the Equestrian Overlay are also required to include a 24-foot by 24-foot Item B —1 TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE —TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19615 RAYMOND WANG May 11, 2016 Page 2 corral area on each lot. Each corral is required to be a minimum of 70 feet from any dwelling on adjacent lots. A separate 5-foot wide private drainage easement with a "V" gutter is proposed along the north property line (north side of the trail easement)to convey storm water runoff from the property to the north of the project site, and direct the storm water along the east property line of Lot#2 to the public storm drain system on Almond Street. The trail will drain with a 2 percent slope to this drainage facility. The plans indicate that the trail will be topped with a 4-inch cover of decomposed granite. A decorative wall will be required along the north property line, on the south side of the equestrian trail and along the side property lines of each lot. Access to the trail will be controlled by a trail access gate designed per Rancho Cucamonga Standard Drawing 1006-C. Each lot will have vehicle access from Almond Street and equestrian trail access from Almond Court.
