A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ESTABLISHING ACCESS POLICY FOR
MAJOR AND SECONDARY THOROUGHFARES
WHEREAS, the Planning Con~nission of the City of Rancho Cuca-
monga recognizes that to maintain capacity, efficiency and the safety of traffic
flow on major and secondary thoroughfares, it is necessary to limit and control
access; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to establish firm policy guidelines
to allow property owners fronting on said streets to properly plan the use
of their land.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ESTABLISHED that for develop-
ment of properties fronting on all major and secondary thoroughfares the following
criteria shall be observed in relation to access control:
1. Non access to all major and secondary thoroughfares shall be
dedicated to the City wherever suitable alternative access may be developed from
local or collector streets.
2. Where access must be granted to a major or secondary thorough-
fares said access shall be limited to one point for 300 feet of frontage or one
point per parcel with less than 300 feet of frontage. It is the intent of the
policy to establish a minimum 300 feet spacing between driveways.
3. Combined access to major and secondary thoroughfares between
adjacent properties shall be encouraged wherever possible to reduce the number
of encroachments.
4. Access points shall wherever possible be located a minimum
of one hundred (100)~feet from the end of curb returns at intersections on
4 lane or wider highways.
5. Where otherwise compatible with this policy access shall be
located opposite existing or planned access points on the opposite side of
the street.
Variations from these policies will require approval of the
Con~nunity Development Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga subject to
appeals to the Planning Cormnission.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1978.
