WHEREAS, the City has studied the Draft Foothill Community Plan and has held several public meetings before both the Planning Commission and the City Council in order to discuss issues of interest and to receive public input; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to create greater consistency between and City and County planning policy for the area and that the Draft Foothill Community Plan is a first step towards this result. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California, resolved that the approval of the Draft Foothill Community Plan be subject to the following conditions: In areas with slopes exceeding 30 percent, development should not exceed one (1) dwelling unit per 40 acres. Density transfer should be considered only to avoid development in environmentally sensitive areas or to avoid undue hardship and should not impact surrounding areas, provided that any density transfer will not adversely impact the surrounding area's service capacity, land use characteristics, consistent and compatible with the surrounding residential areas. In no case shall the permitted use or permitted building type be other than single family detached residential in the area north of Alta Loma. Existing easements which preclude construction of structures on the ground shall not be considered for density transfers. Language should be incorporated into the Plan which will implement the Community Trail System consistent with the City of Rancho Cueamonga's master plan of trails and provide for necessary trail dedications within residential development· New development with community trails should be required to annex Resolution No. 83-166 Page 2 , , into any necessary service district which will provide for their continual maintenance. Provide language within the Plan which requires the following landscaping standards for new development: a. Along park strips or unimproved public street rights-of-way abutting development within interior streets, landscaping shall be provided to a minimum standard of one 15-gallon tree per 30 linear feet of frontage and along collector streets one 15-gallon tree per 20 linear feet of frontage, with suitable vegetative ground cover and an irrigation system. b. Within commercial development, landscaped areas shall be no less than 10 percent of parking and driveway areas and landscaped with a minimum of one 15-gallon tree per 3 parking spaces. The Plan should set forth appropriate language requiring park land dedication or a fee for all new residential developments consistent with the requirements of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. Future development should be required to be annexed into a service district for park maintenance. Develop in consultation with the City an affordable housing policy for the Foothill Plan which takes into consideration location and physical features which may affect housing costs. Such policy would require the definition of holding capacity based on subarea planned service capacity, environmental constraints, and surrounding land use character- istics. This should be done through the development of a specific plan or other similar document, such as a planned urban development plan. The Plan should contain language which assures that the City will be consulted during the review of any development plans. The County shall forward material on development plans, subdivision, commer- cial development, or other types of development proposed, at the earliest possible date in order to provide sufficient time for city comment and con- sideration of those comments by the San Bernardino County staff, Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Prior to approval of any development of 5 or more units, a public facility and finance plan should be prepared which identifies service needs, financing, construction and maintenance of public facilities such as fire and law enforcement facilities, schools, parks and trails, libraries, community buildings, sewer and water, and other infrastructure needs not necessarily provided by private development. Prior to approval of any development of 5 or more units, a governmental service district and/or development fee shall have been established which can assure for the development, maintenance, and operation of certain community services such as Resolution No. 83-166 Page 3 10. parks and trails, maintenance of street landscaping, and community buildings. Annexation into the service district shall be required of any future development within the planning area. Prior to development in the following residential areas, a specific plan or other similar document such as a planned urban development plan should be completed: a. North of Highland Avenue between Milliken Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard; b® East of the Day Creek recharge basin and north of the Etiwanda area extending into Day Creek Canyon; c.
