The specific plan study of Foothill Blvd traverses the city of old
Rancho Cucamonga, subarea 3, in an East/West fashion. The corridor
itself is currently described as going through a metamorphoses from
a regionally oriented transportation area serving the needs of the
motorists to a local urban oriented highway designated to serve the
needs of the community.
In general, this area is composed of a variety of individually
owned parcels which front the corridor and are characterized by a
variety of commercial, residential and office land uses. Although
this strip lacks a definite, consistent, unified urban image, we
believe we can contribute to a balanced and unified pattern of
development by preserving the natural features that reflect old
Rancho Cucamonga.
The existing site conditions include a fast food restaurant and
four homes which have been declared potential landmarks. The fast
food restaurant has been abandoned for many years. It has no
characteristics, no potential for restoration, and is no longer up
to city code, or health department code. The four houses are
quaint single family dwelling built in the early 1930's and reflect
the original architecture of old Rancho Cucamonga.

However, because of poor tenant maintenance and destruction to the
interior and exterior, the structures are in very poor condition.
Also, the landscape reflects tenant use for automobile repair shops
with concomitant garbage dumping, thus making it very unattractive.
Our plan is to enhance and revise the area through improvements to
the existing houses, maintaining their original architectural
features and charm, exposing their natural physical materials,
textures, and colors, enhancing them with landscape and walkways
and convert them for office use. Also we will build a coffee shop
which under the zoning regulation we are allowed with a maximum of
20 seating. This coffee shop design will recognize the aspects
of the community design images and will keep the heritage and
identities of the significant historical structures and
architectural elements along Foothill Blvd.
The proposed development project will not create unusual noises nor
congested traffic conditions objectionable or detrimental with
other permitted uses in the vicinity. We will create a low profile
commercial office area along Foothill Blvd with beautiful frontal
landscaping and rear parking.
The location is in Subarea 3 old Cucamonga at the North-West corner
of Foothill Blvd and Archibald Blvd, encompassing approximately
40,200 square feet of site with 300 feet of frontage facing
Foothill Blvd. The distribution is as follows:
Coffee Shop
Footprint of Houses
Landscape
Parking area (Drive way/Walkway
Area of Decoration
Total
1,200 square feet
4,928 square feet
10,129 square feet
15,543 square feet
8.400 sauare feet
40,200 square feet
The coffee shop, along with these homes (as office space) will have
the opportunity to strengthen this established active center.
All comments are welcome as far as design and rehabilitation of the
existing houses.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
