at the most important crossroads of the community. The
Town Center will be an attraction for the entire City of
Rancho Cucamonga and will offer transit access,
extended hours of activity and nightlife, and extensive
shopping opportunities.
By providing direct access to destinations at either end of
the greenway spine, the greenway offers the most direct
access possible to either of these destinations, and many
more in between, from nearly everywhere within Terra
Vista. Terra Vista residents will be encouraged to avail
themselves of the pleasant walking and bicycling potential
of the greenway and can leave their cars at home.
Trail Connections. The trails that project from the major
greenway spine connect residential areas with community
uses, commercial developments, employment centers,
and schools. They also link with destinations beyond the
project boundaries and with surrounding employment
centers. Bus stops, which will be coordinated with
OmniTrans, are intended at locations where the trail
system intersects with key collector streets and arterials.

The Terra Vista landscape concept affects more than the c~ 5'

Landscaping and open spaces also are used in buffer and

However, landscaping as well as fences and walls will
offer an appropriate buffering for common conditions
throughout the community. The residential development

these conditions. This section covers the following

the centers the place to go rather than one or two
individual entities within them. Because of this, all the
concerns located in the centers should benefit.
The overall design concept for the centers along Foothill
Boulevard is best described by breaking down the centers'
design guidelines into the following four components:
· Center identity and specific uses
· Access and community gateways
· Site planning and pedestrian network
· Landscape treatment
Each of these components is described below in terms of
how they will affect the image and appearance of Terra
Vista from Foothill Boulevard. Following this discussion
are individual profiles of each center.

Terra Vista described the unique mix of specific o
commercial facilities in each center that complements c~
adjoining commercial centers yet promotes variety and o

Access and Community Gateways
Access. Within the Terra Vista community, primary
access to each of the centers along Foothill Boulevard will
be from Church Street and north-south streets connecting
Church Street with Foothill Boulevard, as indicated
diagrammatically in Figure IV-64. The reason for this
access concept is twofold:
· Smoother Traffic FlOw. Anticipated traffic levels along
Foothill Boulevard are relatively high; the removal of
primary access points from Foothill Boulevard allows Town Center Financial/ Promotional
Restaurant Center
for smoother traffic flow along the boulevard. Left community Plaza

Site Planning and Pedestrian NetwOrk site and will, in turn, connect with the trail system.
Each center along Foothill Boulevard will have a different
appearance from the boulevard within the context of the uniform
Terra Vb'ta design image. As indicated conceptually in Figure IV-
65, the arrangement of buildings, parking areas, and pedestrian
walkways is unique to each center. For example:
· In the Town Center, smaller buildings are clustered close to
Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue, while more imposing
commercial structures are set back from these streets. The
primary greenway spine leads directly to the Town Center
community commercial center and to the east-west
pedestrian linkage through the Foothill Boulevard centers.
· In the Commercial Park, as in the Town Center, larger
buildings are set back away from Foothill Boulevard and the
smaller buildings are located near Foothill Boulevard and along O
a central park-like entry. A large open space with a pedestrian
spine traverses the site from north to south. Primary parking
access will be from Foothill Boulevard, Spruce Avenue across The result of this carefully conceived site planning,
