The appropriate use of landscape materials is an important elem ten of Suc. cessfu/ development. Plant materials should be used extensively to 're nforcet commun*dy identity, create a pleasant and livable environment, control erosion, o dpr ew protection from wind and hot summer sun, and to tie new development into the surrounding c no text. The following guidelines are suggested: a. , Include existing mature trees worthy of preservation 'm the landscape concept. b. Select plant materials for their suitability to the environment and compatibility with Xeriscapeprinciples(i.e., water conservation). c. Select plants that are tolerant of local conditions (i.e., hot summers and seasonal high winds) and relatively free of pests and disease. General criteria for selection includes low maintenance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, wind tolerance, and fast growing. ' d. Select plants of appropriate size at maturity for their intended use to minimize maintenance or replacement when the plant outgrows available space. e.Avoid plants that have messy fruit/seed/flower droppings or brittle branches near paving as they are a potential safety hazard and a long-term maintenance liability. f. Locate plant materials in response to architectural design and site planning. Plants can be used to denote entries, contrast with or reinforce building lines and volumes, and soften the hard lines or blank wall expanses of architecture. g. Group plants according to their watering needs. h. Use plants to define outdoor spaces such as street edge or outdoor eating areas or movement paths between parking and dwelling units. i. Simple plant palettes are preferred over complex schemes. j.Use deciduous trles on southern and western exposures to screen summer sun yet permit winter light. k. Use, evergreen trees to block seasonal high winds and decrease heat loss. I. Provide landscape adjacent to and within parking areas in order to shade parking and pavement areas and to minimize the expansive appearance of parking areas~/~ Ordinance No. 604 Page 13 ,,,..,.._._.,,../,~ Rancho Cucat~,a Development Code n.

S'ct~ ion l~ Densely landscape to screen unattractive views and features, such as parking lots, storage areas, trash enclosures, freeway structures, utility equipment (i.e., transformers, meters, backflow valves), and air conditioning units. '~ o. Trees should be planted to achieve a continuity of form. General guidefines for the use of landscaping to achieve this continuity include: (1)Using the same tree form (i.e., columnar or round headed) along streets of the same type to reinforce the hierarchy of street typos. (2) Planting trees in similar patterns on streets of the same type. (3)Using the same species for the entire length of a street or Ihroughout an entire area. (4) Landscape front yard on lots averaging 4,500 square feet or less. (5) Treat driveways with decorative hardscape.

The following guidelines are suggested. a. Minimize the amount of site grading needed for development and ut'dity construction ~ throughpropersiteplanning. b. Grade land and landscape in workable increments to a void exposing vast expanses ~ of bared earth at any given time to minimize soil erosion. c. Development in the foothills should relate to the slope in order to preserve the ~ integrity of the hillside and minimize disruption of natural ground form. Adapt all ~ structures in such areas to natural ground form through the use of split pads, built-  up foundations, stepped footings, stem walls, etc. d.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga places si,~nificant emphasis on the development o-7"~regional, community, and local feeder trails. The General Plan establishes a trail system to provide an interconnected network of trails linking to parks, shopping, and employment centers with residential areas. To this end, the following guideli en s should be considered: a.All new developments are to be designed in accordance with the Master Plan of Trails and adopted trail standards. b.Maintain trails on natural surfaces (i.e. no grading) and locate along natural features whenever possible. c.Consider existing bicycling, pedestrian, and equestrian access and traditional travel routes through the property. particularly routes to schools. d.Within the Equestrian/Rural Area, provide trail connections through easements in order to connect disconnected trails and for needed access to recreation activities. e.Provide local feeder trails on the rear of residential lots for equestrian access and related equestrian service access within the Equestrian/Rural Area. f. Provide a means of public access to regional trails within subdivisions.  g. Within subdivisions, provide an internal loop trail system of local feeder trails. ~,~ h. Plot houses to provide reasonable rear yard opporlunity for the keeping of horses ~ and other animals within the Equestrian/Rural Area. ~ i. Provide a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area in the rear yard of all residential lots within ~ theEquestrian/RuralArea. ~ j.

In addition to other standards outlined in the Development Code, the following should be considered: . a.Relate the location ol site uses ~ith acl]o~n9 properties to avoid possible conflicts and take advantage of mutual potentials. b. Consider sharing curb cuts with adjoining properlies. c.Buildings which are skewed in relationship to each other can create a variety of view orientations and streetscape interests. d.Provide adequate common open space, including recreational facilities, tot lots, and large open lawn areas. e Logical pedestrian connections between open spaces and dwelling units and to perimeter streets, enhance the quality of hfe, are safer, and lower matntenance costs. f. Create a logical circulation system which is readily understandable to the user. g. Treat drive aisles like the streetscape - curvilinear lanes and parkway trees. h. Screen parking areas from the street with mounding, landscaping. low profile walls, and lowering the grade of parking areas below the street. i. Screen exterior trash areas, storage areas, utilities, etc. fr(~m view using elements compatible with architecture and landscaping. j. Strengthen project entry statements with expanded accent landscaping, decorative paving and special architectural features incorporated into perimeter walls or monument signs. k. Terminate entry statement at an interior focalpoint, such as unique architecture or landscape elements, fountains, plazas, streams and/or waterfall elements, or landscape treatments which take aesthetic advantage of variations in grade. I.Consider street setbacks on adjacent properties, yet vary setbacks whenever possible. . m. Preserve existing healthy trees in place and design as a major feature. n.

Vary garage treatments such as detached and semi-detached, side and rear entries, etc. On flag lots, use 12-foot width for that portion of the driveway providing access to the garage to minimize concrete and maximize landscaping potential. Pair garages to create larger front yards, greater separation between driveways, and create variety along the streetscape. Oo Taper three- or four-car garage driveways down to a standard two-car width at street. 17. Subdivision Desion. The proper layout of a subdivision's circulation, drainage, and lot pattern is important to the success of the project. The following guidelines should be considered: a. Provide two means of ingress and egress. bo Use side-on cul-de-sacs, as opposed to standard cul-de-sacs, when adjacent to streets or pedestrian trails. c. Curvilinear streets are to be used whenever possible. Avoid a grid l~attern. d. Maximum 800-foot straight section to avoid long, straight streets. 17.08-52 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ~ Page 19 Rancho CU a.~ Development Code Section 17. 08.090 / e.

For private, gated entrances, provide adequate turn-around space in front of the ~ gate and a separate visitor lane with call box to avoid cars stacking into the public ~ right-of-way. 1. Desitin Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established which is compatible with surrounding planned or existing developments and should be based upon prominent design features in the immediate area (e.g., trees, landforms, historic landmarks). Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall character of the immediate neighborhood. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high quality and harmonious community appearance. Architecture. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including harmonious building style. form, size, color, material, and roof line. Individual dwelling units should be distinguishable from one another and have separate entrances. 17.08-53 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 20 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1Z 08.090 Shadow patterns created by architectural etements such as overhangs, projection or recession of stories, balconies, reveals, and awnings contribule to a building's character while aiding in climate conlrol.

Setbacks and overall heights should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multiple family product type (i.e., apartment, condominium, townhouse) is discouraged immediately adjacent to lower density single family areas All attached projects adjacent to existing one-story single family developments shall be one story, unless the impact of two-story structures on the existing one-story neighborhood is fully mitigated with emphasis on privacy, views, and general compatibility. Buildings should emphasize horizontal as well as vertical appearance. This could be achieved by the use of projections or recessions of stories, balconies, windows and doors, and changes in roof levels and planes. In particular for multiple family product type, buildings over three stories should consider stepping back. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. The materials and colors chosen should complement the building character. Siqnina. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement, sign scale in relationship with building. and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and sile design relative to color, material, and placement. Equipment Screeninq. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally compatible in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable. 17.08-55 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 22 CHAPTER 17.10 - COMMERCIAL/OFFICE DISTRICTS Section 17.10.010 - Purposes and General Plan Consistency .............. 17.10-1 Section 17.10.020 - Commercial Office Districts ........................ 17.10-1 Section 't7.10.030- Use Regulations ................................. 17.10-2 Section 17.10.040 - Site Developmerit Criteria ......................... 17.10-12 Sec¢or~ 17. t0.050 - Performance Star~dards .......................... 17.10-15 Section 17.10.060 - General Design Guidelines ........................ 17.10-17 Section 17.10.070 - Trip Reduction ................................. 17.10-26 Ordinance No. 604 Page 23 Rancho Cucamonga Development Co&' Section 17. 10.060 Section 17.10.060- General Design Guidelines Intent. The intent of the guidelines is to assist the designer in understanding and complying with the City's standards for building and site design. The guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plan and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance ot structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, axed streets. The guidelines establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individuat expressio~ and imaginative solutions. ADl:)licabilitv. The provisions of this section shall apply to all commercial and office districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any commercial or office district is subject to Development/Design Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. Guidelines. These guidelines are under the two major categories of site plan design and building design. The structure and its relationship to other structures, uses, views, existing site condition, a~cl pedestrian orientation, should be the dominant factors in the design and orientation of buildings. Architectural statements, while being strong, should not conflict from site to site or building to building. 1. Site Plan DesJan. ExistinQ Site Conditions.

(2) Provide buffer where site adjoins residential development, i.e.. increased J setbacks, height limited to one-story, and dense landscaping. (3) Consider street setbacks on adjacent properties. While variety is generally desired, thestreetmustfunctionasawholeandthesetbacksmustrelate. ) · Buildinq Orientation. Placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner ~,. compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses and bui raged' s. The setback from streets and adjacent properties is directly proportionate to the scale ot the proposed building and those around it. Larger buildi gns will require more setback ..~ area for a balance of scale and for the protection ot solar access to the proposed building and adjadent sites. Lastly, placement of the bu'ld~ i g shn ould provide the most aesthetic public views. The following guidelines should also be considered: (1) Plot buildingstocreateplazasandlogicalpedestrianconnections.'

Access/Circulation. The access and circulation o! a development should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system, both on and off the site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City's access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduces conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points of ac~ce~..s~.p~onfliet ~ itv,~t.~thor pl=~efi or oxi£til:~.~rc,,e.~ /w'a"lk~ays shall connect e~,ery building ~vith public sidewalks. The fo//ow/ng //,,,.

(7) Maintain adequate sight lines for motorists at intersections and drivew~ d. Parkin(3 Areas. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design o! a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through a combination of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, lights and glare. arLd_a~33Z2e_nt air tem~,re. ~hiS"c~ · .

Provide tables, benches, shade trees, or~structures. / (4) The appropriate use of plant materials is an important element of successful development. Plant materials should be used extensively to reinforce community identity, create a pleasant and livable environment, control erosion, provide protection from wind and hot summer sun, and to tie new development into the surrounding context. (5) Locate plants in response to architectural design and site planning. P/ants can be used to denote entries, contrast with or reinforce building lines and volumes, and soften hard lines or blank wall expanses. (6) Select plants for their year-round interest, as well as their form, texture, and shape values. (7) Provide canopy shade trees in parking areas. (8) Use mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees alorzg streetscape for year. round interest. (9) Twenty percent of industrial projects and thirty percent of commercial and office projects are to be 24-inch box size. (10) Preserve existing mature trees as a focal point. .

Fencin(3/Screenin(l. The use of any fencing or walls should be consistent with the overall design Iheme. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safely purpose. Where they are needed, color, material, and variation of the vertical/horizontal plane are needed to blend with the site and building design. Orient loading areas away from the street. Where it is necessary for loading areas to face the street, screen them with buildings, walls, and landscaping. Liqhtinq. On-site lights should provide a safe, functional, and aesthetic design. Enough lighting should be provided to ensure a safe environment while at the same time not cause areas ol intense light or flare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design. 17.10-21 6/99' Ordinance No. 604 Page 27 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.10.060 Utilities and Ancillary EQuipment. On-site utilities and equipment shall be located in inconspicuous areas, away from public view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. i. Transit Improvements. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, bus pullouts, and bus pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and City Planner in consultation ~ 11'te local b'ar~l ( i. Maste~ Pla.nninq. The intent of a Master Plan is to 'plan ahead' and look beyond ~ the limits of a particular property to solve circulation, drainage, and neighborhood [ compatibility problems. Through the Master Plan process, there is opportunity to ~. provide for integrated development and coordinate the efforts of many property ~ owners and discourage piecemeal development. Masterplanning of defined areas / will avoid development in a manner which would prevent or preclude future [ development of surrounding land in the best way possible. The intent of the Master ~ Plan process is not to cast future development patterns in stone; rather, it is an ~ attempt to discover problems before they develop, to deal with issues while they ( can be solved, and to take advantage of opportunities while they exist. The ~ following guidelines for Master Planning should be considered: ~ v (1) Base the area of a Master Plan on logical planning boundaries and site conditions, rather than being limited by individual parcel lines. (2) Encourage harmonious site plan relationships, such as the potential for shared access and reciprocal parking. (3) At minimum, a Master Plan must address conceptual building locations, overall circulation, points of ingress and egress, parking layout, and conceptual grading and drainage. Areas for common use, such as shared access or pedestrian plazas, must be identified. Master Plat,s may be required by the :.oning of a propcrty or where deemcd necessary by the City Planner. (4) (5) (6) Provide a statement of architectural intent and/or conceptual elevations which include style, various product types, form, bulk, height, orientation, and materials. Future development may be allowed to vary from a Master Plan provided the proposed project is compatible with the intent of the Master Plan or develops an acceptable alternative Master Plan. For larger master planned projects, develop a package of design guidelines to guide future individual buildings and maintain the integrity of the Master Plan concept 17.10-22 6/99' Ordinance No. 604 Page 28 Reinoho Cttcamonga Developnlent Code Secti(m 17.10.060 2. Building Desiqn. Desian Theme/Architecture. A recognizable design theme shall be established for each building. That theme shall be one which creates a harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line, as it relates to surrounding planned or existing development. Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord int~ riverag ~,~si n.,.,g.O..~ the immediate area.

The following guidelines shall be considere~ harmor t (1) The City of Rancho Cucamonga seeks well thought out design so u 'o s which reflect the best eta particular style, respect the community's heritage, and relate well to their surroundings. (2) Provide architectural 'treatment to all elevations (i.e., 360-degree architecture). (3) Make medium- and high-rise buildings less imposing by physically stepping them back from the street level. (4) Design rear elevations to be visually attractive by providing articulation to the building plane and vertical variation of the roof line. (5) Avoid expanses of blank wall that are devoid of any articulation or embellishment. (6) Integrate screening forroof-mounted equipment into the building design (i.e.. extend parapet walls) rather than having a 'tacked-on" appearance. (7)For commercial projects, vary the roof through the use of vertical separations. varying roof structure, or by varying the parapet line or ridge line. (8)For commercial projects, give special attention to creating pedestrian scale and an inviting place for pedestrians to shop. (9) Provide interest and variation to storefront designs for shopping centers to complement the architectural style. Design elements to be considered include: providing offsets or bays, strong base material, varying storefront treatment, multi.pane windows, and varying the bulkhead treatment. (10) Provide focal points in the architectural theme to create strong entry statements and provide a sense of place. Towers, spirals, domes, massing, color, trellises, fountains, public art, and plazas are encouraged. (11) Provide shelter from seasonal high winds through building orientation, materials, and entrances, particularly east of Haven Avenue. (I 2) Paint roll-up doors and service doors to blend-in with main building colors. (13)Architectural style should have a timeless quality rather than trendy designs that quickly become "dated."

Scale. The mass and scale of the building needs to be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street localions, and surrounding developments. No matter what the scale of a building, setbacks and overall height should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multi-story buildings should be set back toward the center el the site or be designed in a stepped style. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility el design. They should blend well with the environment and not cause abrupt changes. Eclui13ment Screen'inq. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally integrated in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided. a continuous screen is desirable. Siqninq. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement; sign scale in relationship with building and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept.

T e Ch ity of Rancho Cucamonga's goal is to promote a qu~i~ua7'e~vironment by allowing signs which are compatible with their surroundings J nd'which effectively communicate their message. a. Combinincl SicIns and Architecture, (1) Integrate signs into the architectural scheme. Indeed, the building itself can ~ serve as a large and impressive sign. To achieve this effect, however, the ~ individual signs on the facade must reinforce the character of the building,  not obscure it or detract from it. (2) Use signs as a means of business identification rather than as a form of  advertising. (3) Simple messages, layout, and color scheme make signs easier to read. (4) Select colors and materials which complement the architecture, including . monument signs. '(5) Size of signs must be proportional to the scale of the building and their  affixed surface. (6) Use wall sign placement to direct the customer to the business location. (7) Visually balance the sign area with the building mass and height rather than designing to the maximum standard. b. Office and Industrial. Consider the layout and shape of the architectural features of the building. Design elements such as window patterns (vertical and horizontal rectangles, arches, squares, etc.) will help determine the sign shape that will suit the building. For industrial buildings, use a non-illuminated type of sign because they are typically not open at night, nor do they need to attract customers like a retailer. (3) Use individual letters rather than canister type signs. Uniform Sion Proclrams. (1) 2). Provide a Uniform Sign Program for shopping centers and office or industrial complexes with multiple buildings to create a coordinated project theme of uniform design elements, such as color, lettering style, and placement. Specify a consistent sign type and avoid mixing different sign types, such as canister signs with channelized letters. Use a consistent size (i.e., maximum height and length) which i~ proportionate to the building. ~ '1 ~ 0-25 6/99' Ordinance No. 604 /' (4) For shopping centers, use an 18-~r~h maximum letter height.

A. Urban Design Goal: Provide a pleasant, attractive, and safe working environment. Objectives. 1. The City shall encourage distinctive industrial development by establishing design characteristics for varying industrial activities. 2. Development standards shall provide a guide to ensure minimum design criteria throughout the industrial area. 3. Development standards shall provide the means for practical and pleasing transitions between different levels of industrial activity. 4. Major transportation corridors shall have special design and use standards to provide differing, yet compatible, streetscape characteristics throughout the industrial area. 5. The City shall encourage high-quality architecture to ensure each project is compatible with existing developments and is a positive enhancement to the immediate area. 6. Land uses shall be organized to avoid creating nuisances among adjacent land uses. 7. The physical organization of land uses within the industrial area shall foster the provision of alternative modes of transportation. B. Promote employment opportunities as an integral part of a balanced Land Use Goal: community. Objectives. Encourage a mix of industrial land uses to develop a sound and diversified economic base for the City of Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino County. New development in the industrial area shall provide a range of employment opportunities with respect to income and skills for present as well as future residents of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and nearby communities. The timing, location, and intensity of development in the industrial area should be closely integrated with the overall development of the City as set forth in the General Plan. 17.30-1 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 43 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30. 010 Establish a specific, well-defined pattern of industrial activities, while providing flexibility to respond to future changing conditions. The development of the industrial area should accommodate the personal needs of workers and business visitors as well as the service needs of local businesses. Go Industrial development shall be encouraged by eliminating uncertainty and time- and money-consuming delays in the governmental processes. Public Facilities and Services Goal: Provide a method for logical and effective development of public facilities and services. Objectives. o The provision of improvements within the industrial area should seek comprehensive solutions to service and facility needs, rather than approaching these needs on an ad hoc, case-by-case basis, thereby enabling the costs of these improvements to be spread over as broad a tax base as possible. The phasing of development shall be coordinated with the development of public improvements. When public transit and other related improvements occur within the industrial area, the opportunities for joint development with pdvate development shall be considered to enable the public to recapture some reasonable portion of the development benefits thereby created. Promote an efficient pattern of land use and encourage the use of energy efficient modes of transportation and renewable energy resources such as solar energy, and the conservation of energy. Provide a safe and healthy environment for workers, including adequate levels of police and fire protection. Promote the use of existing railroad lines and enhance opportunities for future rail services. Do Require water-conserving irrigation techniques and landscape/hardscape designs for new development. o Develop a toxic and hazardous materials storage and waste program in cooperation with other responsible public agencies. Circulation and Access Policies Goal: In order to ensure the effectiveness and capacity of arterials, it will be necessary to establish and enforce rigid access control policies. These controls are currently in effect under the provisions of Planning Commission Resolution No. 78-29. Obiectives. 1. Non access to all arterials shall be dedicated to the City wherever suitable alternative access may be developed from local or collector streets. 17.30-2 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 44 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.010 Where access must be granted to an arterial, said access shall be limited to one point for every 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-foot spacing between driveways. Combined access to arterials between adjacent properties shall be encouraged wherever possible to reduce the number of encroachments. Access points shall, wherever possible, be located a minimum of 100 feet from the back of curb returns at intersections on four-lane or wider highways. o Where otherwise compatible with this policy, access shall be located opposite existing or planned points on the opposite side of the street. In addition to the controls outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No. 78-29, several additional restrictions will be necessary. Median island breaks and left turn access should be limited to approximately 1/4-mile spacings on the following major divided arterials: Haven Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, 4th Street, and 6th Street. Table 17.30.010-A shows the recommended arterial median opening spacing which will provide adequate storage lengths for left turn lanes, signal spacing, and capacity. Signalized intersections should be spaced a minimum of 1/4-mile apart to achieve adequate two-way progression. Go For safety and efficiency, side friction along major arterials should be minimized. Therefore, on-street parking should be eliminated, median obstructions should be minimized, and left-turn movements and access to driveways should be confined to designated locations. Along Haven and Milliken Avenues, additional access restrictions may be required because of traffic volume constraints. 17.3O-3 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 45 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.010 Table 17.30,010-A Locations of Median Left Turn Openings on Major Divided Roadways MAJOR STREET Haven Avenue Milliken Avenue Foothill Boulevard 6th Street 4th Street MEDIAN OPENING LOCATIONS Foothill Boulevard, Civic Center Drive, Arrow Route, Jersey Boulevard, 7th Street, 6th Street, Trademark Street, 4th Street.

Local Street Potic'v- The required local street pattern should allow the maximum flexibility to each parcel owner or developer while having the least adverse impact on arterial traffic flow. The circulation pattern developed for the industrial area complies with this principle by recognizing the following: a. Streets should be provided along property lines where possible. b. Intersections with arterials should be limited to one per 1/4 mile wherever possible. Local streets should be planned to relieve traffic demand on arterials by providing parallel routes. The street pattern within a parcel should not be a part of this plan, except where necessary to meet the above criteria. 17.30-4 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 46 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.020 Section 17.30.020 - Industrial Development Districts Use of the industrial lands is organized to provide a broad range of industrial development opportunities ranging from light industrial type of accommodations to sites for heavy, rail-served industrial plants. Based on consideration of road and rail access, the relationship to surrounding non- industrial uses, City-wide plan policies, and the parcelization pattern, land within the Industrial districts is assigned to the following major land use categories: B. C. D. E. F. Industrial Park General Industrial Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial Heavy Industrial/Rail-Sewed Mixed Use Open Space These districts have been created for implementation of the Goals, Objectives, and Land Use Elements of the General Plan. Industrial Park. Land is reserved for industrial firms seeking an attractive and pleasant working environment and a location which has prestige value. Approximately 1,095 acres have been allocated t6 this use. The Industrial Park designation permits light industrial uses, office and administration facilities, research and development laboratories, limited types of warehousing, as well as support businesses and commercial service uses. The Industrial Park areas are characterized by a high employment density. The development and design standards are developed to protect lands in this use group from development which is inappropriate because of function, appearance, or environmental effects. General Industrial. The General Industrial district provides for the widest possible range of light and medium industrial type activity, including: manufacturing, assembling, fabrication, wholesaling, heavy commercial, and office uses; and totals approximately 2,161 acres. This land use category is appropriate as a buffer between non-industrial uses and heavy industrial uses. In these areas, the applicable development and design standards are less demanding than those of the industrial park areas, but safeguards are provided to ensure a pleasant, well- functioning environment. The required land area per parcel is also less demanding than other industrial areas so as to accommodate smaller firms. Minimum Impact Heaw Industrial. Approximately 537 acres is reserved for Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial uses. The development standards are designed to provide for heavy industrial uses which will not significantly impact the surrounding area. Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial activities include: manufacturing, compounding, processing, fabrication, warehousing, storage, and freight handling. Uses typical of this group include, but are not limited to, forge shops, steel milling facilities, plastic plants, steel fabrication, metal fabricating facilities, woodworking facilities, heavy machine shops, and chemical storage and distribution. Not permitted within the area are uses which require massive structures outside of buildings or unscreened open air storage of large quantities of raw, semi-refined, or finished products. Heavy Industrial. Approximately 675 acres of land east of the 1-15 Freeway is reserved for Heavy Industrial uses. The development standards are designed to provide for all Heavy Industrial uses. Heavy Industrial activities include: manufacturing, compounding, processing, fabrication, ware. housing, storage, and freight handling. Use characteristics of this group would include large structures to facilitate processing and open air storage of large amounts of raw 17.30-5 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 47 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.020 & 17.30.030 or semi-refined products. Uses within this area typically include, but are not limited to: vehicular assembly plants, power plants, concrete product manufacturers, and batch plants. Mixed Use. Approximately 227 acres of land west of Milliken Avenue, between 4th Street and the Metrolink rail line, is reserved for mixed-use development. This land use category is characterized by various combinations of commercial, office, recreation, and industrial activities within an integrated development project. Open Space. Approximately 150 acres of land west of Milliken Avenue between 4th Street and the Metrolink rail line, is reserved for open space. This land use category is characterized by natural or man-made open space which creates an attractive and pleasant environment for surrounding businesses. Uses within this area typically include golf courses, outdoor recreation areas, and parks. Section 17.30.030 - Use Regulations Uses listed in Table 17.30.030-A shall be allowable in one or more of the industrial districts as indicated in the columns beneath each industrial district subarea. Where indicated with the letter "P," the use shall be a Permitted use in that district. Where indicated with the letter "C," the use shall be a Conditionally Permitted use subject to the Conditional Use Permit process. In the event there is difficulty in categodzing a given use in one of the districts, the procedure outlined in Section 17.02.040 shall be followed. There are many possible land use types within the Industrial Districts. Each subarea has a certain set of land use types based upon its land use category and surrounding conditions. Table 17.30.030-A lists the land use types by subarea. Definitions of these land uses are described in Section 17.03.030.D. Permitted Uses. Permitted uses are those land uses allowed in a given subarea subject to the development regulations of the Plan. ConditionalIv Permitted Uses. Conditionally Permitted uses, because of their unusual site development requirements or unique operating characteristics, are subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission or City Planner. Projects requiring a Conditional Use Permit shall be required to comply with the regulations of Section 17.04.030. Interim Uses. The following Interim uses shall be permitted, provided that such uses and their locations shall not preclude full development in accordance with the development regulations of the Distdct and no permanent buildings are constructed: agricultural uses, including roadside stands, and private parks and picnic areas. Parking and storage areas, park-and-ride lots, and other uses similar in character shall be permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit and to standards contained in Section 17.30.040.G. A Conditional Use Permit shall be approved for a two-year period.

The purpose of standards within General Provisions is to establish minimum standards regulating specific details in the development of any project within the Industrial districts. The standards set forth in this section shall apply either within the entire Industrial area or where stated by the land use category. Condition of Uses. All business and manufacturing operations shall be conducted within an enclosed building unless specifically permitted and adequately screened from public view pursuant to this Section. Si.qns. Signs shall be used for the purposes of identification and direction. The design of permitted signs shall be architecturally integrated with the building design. Submittal of preliminary design concepts during the development review process is encouraged. The design of signs, including location, materials, colors, copy, size, and construction details, are all set forth in the City's Sign Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code). Uniform Sign Proqram. A coordinated Uniform Sign Program may be required for any development, including wall and monument signs, to encourage design compatibility. Liohting. Lighting shall be used for the purpose of providing illumination for the security and safety of on-site areas such as parking, loading, shipping and receiving, pathways, and working areas. The following standards shall apply in all areas. The design of light fixtures, and their structural support, shall be architecturally compatible with the surrounding buildings. Free-standing light standards shall not exceed 25 feet or the height of the shortest on-site building. Security lighting fixtures are not to project above the fascia or roof line of the building. All lighting is to be shielded to confine the light spread to within the site's boundaries. Particular concern shall be for lighting adjacent to residential areas. 17.30-21 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 63 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30.040 Eauipment Screening. The purpose of Equipment Screening Standards shall be to allow for the use of equipment while preserving the architecturarcharacter and integrity of the surrounding environment. Equipment is deemed to include exterior mechanical or electrical equipment, such as air conditioning units, fans, ductwork, cyclone blowers, cranes, and storage tanks. The following standards shall apply according to land use category: All roof-, wall-, and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened from all sides within all land use categories except Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial and Heavy Industrial. Wherever possible, all roof-, wall-, and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened on all sides within the Minimum ImpactA-leavy Industrial and Heavy Industrial categories. All screening shall be architecturally integrated with the building design and where possible a roof parapet wall shall be used to screen roof- or wall-mounted equipment. Where roof-mounted mechanical equipment and/or ductwork projects vertically more than 1 Y2 feet above the roof or roof parapet, it shall be screened by an architecturally designed enclosure which exhibits a permanent nature with the building design and is detailed consistent with the building. Where roof-mounted mechanical equipment and/or ductwork projects I Y'2 feet or less above the roof or roof parapet it shall be painted consistent with the color scheme of the building. Storage Area/Screenin(3. The purpose of Storage Area/Screening Regulations is to allow for on-site storage which is screened from view from the public right-of-way and from land used in common (public view) and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding environment. The following standards shall apply according to land use category: ao Industrial Park category - No outdoor storage shall be permitted except for fleet vehicles and light trucks (not exceeding 6,000 pounds).' Outdoor storage tanks may be permitted at a height not to exceed 8 feet from highest finished grade when screened from public view by concrete, masonry, or other similar materials. bo General Industrial or General Industrial/Rail Served categories - All materials, supplies, equipment, and operating trucks shall be stored within an enclosed building or area screened from public view. Co Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial and Heavy Industrial categories - All materials, supplies, equipment, and operating trucks shall be stored within an enclosed building or storage area. Such storage areas within 120 feet of a street frontage shall be screened. 17.30-22 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 64 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 do Within 600 feet of the 1-15 Freeway right-of-way, all outdoor storage shall be screened from public view from the 1-15 Freeway. Screening from the 1-15 Freeway may consider the use or combination of block or masonry walls, herming, dense landscaping, or building mass, as illustrated below. /SOLID WALL SCREENIRe ~ FREEWAY nOW _/ ~ Within all land use categories except Heavy Industrial, all storage area screening shall be architecturally integrated with surrounding buildings by the use of concrete, masonry, or other similar materials not to exceed a height of 8 feet from highest finished grade. 'U,LOmO A, LOCAL STNIIT FREEWAY ROW I $TORAG! AREA Within the Heavy Industrial category, storage area screening may include masonry or concrete, wood, metal, or chain link with wood slats. Storage of materials or equipment shall not exceed screen height within 100 feet of street-fronting screens. The City Planner may waive screening requirements where future building expansion would screen an abutting storage area. SecuriW Fences and Walls. The purpose of Security Fencing and Wall Standards is to provide for a safe environment for businesses within the Industrial area. ao Site planning, including building configuration and placement, is encouraged to create defined areas that may be adequately secured. Any wall or fence along a street frontage over 3 feet in height is subject to the streetscape setback requirements established in Section D (Setback Requirements) of this chapter. Within all land use categories except Heavy Industrial, all fencing or walls shall be wrought iron, concrete, masonry, or other similar materials not to exceed a height of 8 feet from highest finished grade. The use of barbed wire or similar materials is prohibited from these land use categories. Chain link may be used in areas not visible in front setback area. 17.30-23 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 65 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 Within the Heavy Industrial category, security fencing may include wrought iron, masonry or concrete, wood, metal, or chain link with wood slats. Barbed wire may be permitted atop fencing. Security gates are subject to review and approval by the Fire and Sheriff Departments to ensure adequate emergency access. Utilities. The purpose of Utility Service Standards is for the efficient distribution of utilities designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment. The following requirements shall apply within the Industrial area: All existing and new utilities, 12 KV and less, within the project and along adjacent major arterials shall be installed underground. All ground-mounted utility appurtenances, such as transformers, shall be located out of public view, preferably in the side yard, and adequately screened through the use or combination of concrete or masonry walls, berming, and landscape materials. Maintenance. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of all buildings, structbres, yards, landscaping, signs, parking areas, and other improvements in a manner which does not detract from the appearance of the surrounding area. The following conditions are prohibited: Dilapidated, deteriorating, or unrepaired structures such as roofs, walls, windows, doors, fences, signs, or similar items. b.

All landscaped areas shall be kept free from weeds and debris and maintained in a healthy, growing condition and shall receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing, and trimming. Any damaged, dead, diseased, or decaying plant material shall be replaced within 30 days from the date of damage. Master Plan Re(~uirements. The purpose of Master Plan Requirements is to provide for integrated development throughout the Industrial area at the earliest possible time in the review process. Master planning of defined areas will avoid development in a manner which would prevent or preclude future development of surrounding land on the same or adjoining parcels in the best way possible. It is not the intention of the master planning process to "cast future development patterns in stone." The intent is to recognize and solve problems before they occur and take advantage of opportunities white they exist. A Conceptual Master Plan shall be required for City Planner and/or Planning Commission review in conjunction with development proposals whenever necessary to assure 17.30-24 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 66 Section 17.30.040 integrated development, enhance harmonious and orderly development, mitigate site constraints on the same or adjoining parcels, and maximize land potential. The area of Master Plans shall not be confined by individual lot lines, but determined by logicel planning boundaries and site conditions as required by the City Planner. At a minimum, Master Plans shall address harmonious site plan relationships and the potential for shared access and reciprocal parking by illustrating conceptual building pad locations, circulation and parking lot configurations, and conceptual grading and drainage. Future development may be allowed to vary from the Master Plan, provided the proposed project is ¢ompa~ ~ the intent of the Master Plan and satisfies all development requirements within the Land Use category. Minimum Parcel Size. The purpose of a Minimum Parcel Size is to establish minimum lot size standards which will provide for the development and use of land within the Industrial area according to the land use category and development standards. The Minimum Parcel Size is determined by the land use category with the exception of portions of Subareas 6, 7, and 12. Lot Size. The Minimum Parcel Size shall be set forth as follows: Minimum Parcel Land Use Category Size (Acrea) a. Industrial Park 1 or 2 * b. General Industrial 1/2 c. General Industrial Rail Served 1 d. Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial 5 or 2 ** e. Heavy Industrial 5 2-acre minimum parcel size in Subareas 6, 7, and 12 on parcels adjacent to 4~ Street, Haven A venue, and Foothill Boulevard. Also, specialstandards for Master Planning and urban centers apply within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. "* 2-acre minimum parcel size in Subarea 9 between Arrow Route and 1,000 feet south. Lot Width. Minimum Parcel Width shall be not less than 100 feet and not less than 300 feet on parcels abutting Special Boulevards as shown in Figure 17.30.040-A. 3. Condominium Lots. Condominium lots and lots within an approved Master Planned Development are exempt from required minimum parcel size and dimension requirements. All lots of record are allowed to develop according to development standards as set forth in this plan. Setback Reauirements. The purpose of Setback Requirements is to provide open space for building separation, landscape treatment, and the encouragement of architectural and site planning design diversity. The following standards shall apply in all subareas: 17.30-25 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 67 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 Definition. Streetscape setbacks include the minimum building setback, minimum parking setback, and the average depth of landscaping along public and private street frontages. All streetscape setbacks are determined from the ultimate face of curb. Streetscape Setback. Streetscape setback requirements shall be established according to street classification as shown in Table 17.30.040-B and as shown in Figure 17.30.040-B Streetscape Setback Schedule, except as provided for in Sections D.3 through D.6 below.

Parking setbacks, as set forth in Table 17.30.040-B, may be included within the streetscape setback provided that the average landscape setback is maintained according to the street classification. Properties adjacent to residential areas shall have a minimum 45-foot building setback from property lines on the interior lot line and 45 feet from the ultimate face of curb on abutting streets. bo Areas of other industrial land use categories abutting an Industrial Park category shall have a minimum 45-foot building setback to the abutting property line on interior lot lines and 45 feet from ultimate face of curb on abutting streets. Buildino Heioht. For buildings exceeding two stories or 35 feet as measured from highest finished grade, wh~ is more restrictive, an additional 1-foot setback, as measured from ullimate face of curb, shall be required for each additional 1-foot in height. This setback need not exceed 70 feet. Projections. Eaves, roof projections, awnings, stair landings, and similar architectural features may project into the building setback a maximum distance of 5 feet, provided such appendages are supported only at, or behind, the building setback line. 9UILDING 'SETBACK LINE ~PROPERTY LINE 17.30-31 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 73 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 Parcels less than 225 feet deep from the ultimate curb face,on Special Boulevards need not provide an average depth of landscaping or building setback greater than 25 feet or 20 percent of the depth of property (as measured from ultimate face of curb), whichever is greater, except on Haven Avenue or within Master Planned developments. Buildings over two stories or 35 feet are still subject to D.4 above. Eo Landscape ReQuirements. The purpose of landscaping is to provide the Industrial area greater aesthetic quality and a unified design theme and to promote energy conservation. The "primary landscape design concepts" listed in Section 17.30.070 shall apply to all landscape plans under these requirements. The following requirements shall be applied throughout the Industrial area. Minimum Landscape Coveraoe. The minimum landscape coverage of net lot area (net lot area includes the area under property ownership excluding all right-of-way dedications and private streets) is as follows: Subarea HO** I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 LandscapeCoverage 25/30 12 10 12 12 7 15 15 12 10'/5 10 12 15 12 12 10'/5 15 15 *** Within Subareas 9 and 15, the minimum landscape coverage shall be 10 percent of the net lot area between the area extending from Arrow Route to 1,000 feet south. All remaining areas shall have a 5 percent minimum landscape coverage. ** Haven Avenue Overlay District. *** Refer to Subarea 18 Specific Plan. Landscape Coverage. The landscape coverage requirement may be modified by the Planning Commission when it is determined that the project is designed to the highest aesthetic quality compatible with the land use category and consistent with the surrounding land use. (i.e., within a Master Planned project area, variation of landscape coverage requirement may be allowed.) ~ Berming. Sen'ned landscaping shall be incorporated wherever possible within the landscape setback and landscape areas surrounding parking and loading areas. On Special Boulevards, all parking areas shall be screened with berms an average height of 3 feet (maximum slope not to exceed 3Y2:1 ). The design of the berms shall be undulating to provide interest and visual access to buildings. ~ Trees. All required trees will be a minimum of 15-gallon size; except within the Industrial Park category where 30.percent of the required trees shall be 24-inch box size or larger. Within parking lots, trees will be planted at a rate of one tree for every three parking stalls provided in the planters. Trees shall be planted in areas of public view adjacent to structures at a rate of one tree per 30 linear feet of building dimensions, particularly to interrupt expansive horizontal and vertical surfaces. Tree clusters may be used to satisfy specific design objectives. 17.30-32 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 74 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 Co Along property boundaries, trees will be planted at a rate of one tree per 30 linear feet of interior property line. Tree clusters may be used to satisfy specific design objectives. o Expansion Areas. Undeveloped areas proposed for future expansion shall be kept in a weed free condition and appropriate ground cover may be required. Graded pad sites may require temporary seeding with appropriate ground cover served by an automated irrigation system for erosion control to mitigate visual impact. ~ Irri(3ation Svstem. All landscaped areas shall be served by an automatic underground irrigation system. Wate~ Gon~ntal~. A combination of water conserving landscape and irrigation techniques are required such as, but not limited to, drought tolerant plant species, hardscape (non-irrigated) surfaces, and special irrigation systems such as drip emitters, low volume stream rotors, deep watedng of trees and shrubs, tensiometers to measure soil moisture, and automatic timers. Property owners will be responsible for the development and maintenance of their on-site landscaped area and for the contiguous planted right-of-way. Any damage to the landscaping and irrigation systems shall be planted or replaced within 30 days from date of damage. In order to achieve a uniform landscape theme, the areas within the street medians, park strips, and streetscape setbacks shall have an established landscape materials pallet consistent with the City's landscaping theme. Landscaping materials should be selected for their longevity, drought tolerance, low maintenance, and heat and wind tolerance in addition to their aesthetic beauty and functionality. Table 17.30.040-(3 describes the landscaping materials and characteristics by street classification. Screeninc~. The use or combination of barming, landscape materials, low level walls, and building mass shall be used to screen parking and loading areas and refuse collection areas from the public view.

This entails, at a minimum, planting trees at the required spacing in all stalls. Rail Service Standards. The purpose of Rail Service Standards is to provide for the use of rail service to those properties which adjoin existing or proposed lead or spur lines as indicated on the subarea maps. Uses with,dependency on Rail Service shall be encouraged to locate on properties (except those in Subarea 6) which adjoin such lines. Those uses which are not dependent on rail service are discouraged from locating on properties adjacent to lead or spur lines. The following standards are required for all developments which adjoin lead and spur railroad lines. Rail Service Standards are suggested guidelines for developing rail access. The railroad and the Public Utilities Commission may consider modification of track standards; therefore, the project designer should consult with the railroad at the time of project design, 17.30-35 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 77 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.040 Easement width for a lead line, single-rail track - 32 feet; and for a double-rail track - 41 feet. Rail lead track and nearby street elevations shall approximate one another in height. c. The minimum radius of curvature for a.track shall be 180 feet. do Maximum permissible gradient along spur tracks shall be no greater than 1 Y2 - 2 pement. Dock height shall be set between 4½ to 5 feet above the top of rail of the spur track. fo At-grade road crossings by railroads should be avoided wherever possible. Rail crossings and any spur construction must be approved by the railroad and the Public Utilities Commission, Spur trackage is not permitted along any building frontage and must be confined to the side or rear portions of the buildings.. Lot division and building layouts for properties which adjoin existing or proposed lead and spur lines shall be done in a manner to ensure full potential of future rail access and use and should not preclude rail access to other properties adjacent to such rail lines. Subdivisions which could reduce a properry's ability to accommodate potential rail served developments may not be authorized. Easements shall be provided for lead/spur lines as indicated on the subarea maps in conjunction with development proposals or lot subdivisions. Building design shall include rail service features to ensure the potential use of available spur lines. Finished floor elevations and dock height door or "kick out" wall panels shall be provided in all properties abutting rail lines. Within portions of Subareas 6 and 11, rail access is permitted under condition that adequate screening is provided for non-rail service areas. Refer to Subareas 6 and 11 for further details. The above-referenced rail service development standards may be amended or deleted on a site-by-site basis during the Development/Design Review process. The following must be determined by the Planning Commission in order to authorize any modification of the Rail Service Standard: ao That installation of a lead or spur track cannot be accomplished due to physical constraints on or adjacent to the project site; and Other existing or potential rail service properties will not be negatively affected in their ability to accommodate rail service activity as a result of modifications to the standards. 17.30-36 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 78 Section 17.30.040 LEAD TRACK DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS LEAD TRACK fl.

Unless specifically modified through a Conditional Use Permit, all other development standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall apply, including, but not limited to, grading, drainage, and street improvements. The following standards shall apply in all Industrial areas: The minimum streetscape and parking setback requirement shall be contiguous with the ultimate right-of-way line, but in no case less than 10 feet. There shall be no minimum landscape coverage requirements, except that which is necessary for screening purposes as determined by the City Planner. All parking and storage areas shall be paved with slag, crushed aggregate, asphaltic concrete, or concrete. The location, number, and design of said parking shall be in accordance with Code requirements. All parking and storage areas, and other interim uses which require screening as determined by the City Planner, shall be screened from public view through a combination of landscaping and fencing. Fencing may include a 6-foot chain link fence with slats, masonry or concrete, wood, or decorative metal. Screening must be maintained in good condition at all times. Landscaping required for screening purposes shall include 15-gallon trees and 5-gallon shrubs to provide a dense landscape buffer to afford maximum screening from the public view, satisfactory to the City Planner.

Section 17.30,050 - Performance Standards The purpose of Performance Standards is to establish Industrial Use Standa. rd characteristics which allow the uses to operate consistent with the overall characteristics of the land use category. This section bases its determination on land use characteristics of each category. The intent of the Performance Standards is to provide for a healthy, safe, and pleasing environment in keeping with the nature and level of surrounding Industrial activity. The Performance Standards contained with Table 17.30.050-A, are applied on a subarea basis as follows: CLASS A - 6, 7, 12, 16, 17 CLASS B-1,2,3,4,5,8, 10, 11, 13, 14 CLASS C - 9, 15 CLASS A Performance Standards are the most restrictive of the Performance Standards. It is utilized for the Industrial Park category. CLASS B Performance Standards 'are employed for the General Industrial categories. These standards are intended to provide for the broadest range of Industrial activity while assuring a basic level environmental protection. CLASS C Performance Standards provide for a level of industrial activity associated with the Heavy Industrial use while providing safeguards. 17.30-39 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 81 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.050 Table 17.30.050-A- Industrial Performance Standards CLASS A CLASS B CLASS C CLASS A.

Section 17.30.060 - General Design Guidelines Ao Intent. The intent of these guidelines is to assist the designer in understanding and complying with the City's standards for building and site design. These guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plan and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property together with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets. They establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. The establishment of Urban Design Standards and Guidelines provides the City with the ability to ensure that all development in the Industrial area has compatible architecture and enhanced design quality. These guidelines are general and through the Design Review Process are intended to encourage the individual creativity of project designers as well as provide for the needs of the individual owner and user. So Applicability. The provisions of this section shall applyto all industrial districts,. unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any industrial district is subject to Development/Design Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. Guidelines. The structure and its relationship to other structures, uses, views, existing site condition, and availability of rail access (if applicable), should be the dominant factors in the design and orientation of buildings. Architectural statements, while being strong, should not conflict from site to site or building to building. This section deals with the physical appearance of the Industrial area. While more specific urban design guidelines for each subarea are incorporated in Section 17.30.080, this section describes the overall, area-wide design concept addressing physical form and appearance, open space network, special features, and gateways. Physical Form and Ap~3earance. The Industrial districts have been divided into 18 subareas, each of which is designated with one of six land use categories. The development standards specified for each of these subareas will distinguish them from each other by the types of uses permitted or conditionally permitted, parcel sizes, setback requirements, landscaping, pedormance requirements, vehicular and rail access, and parking provisions. The distinction of each subarea will serve as a mechanism to create and enhance the identity of each subarea. The Industrial districts form a part of the community fabric by integration into an arterial roadway network which serves the entire City. The area's identity is further enhanced by the development of i~pecially designed landscape themes at arterial roadway entry points into the Industrial area. 17.30-41 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 83 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 Each land use category is further distinguished by general architectural themes based upon the planP ~and use intensity. While the themes may vary, a high quality of design is expected in all lan~ ase categories of the Industrial districts. There are six land use categories in the Industrial districts: Industrial Park category has been designated for five subareas. Primary uses in this category include custom light manufacturing, light wholesale storage and distribution, administrative and office, and professional services. This area is reserved for firms seeking attractive and pleasant working environments and a location which has prestige value. High-quality architecture is required and site planning must emphasize a pedestrian-oriented, campus-like setting with the greatest amount of landscaping. The development of prefab, all metal sheathing for buildings is considered inappropriate for this category. The Industrial Park category is typically located adjacent to special boulevards (major thoroughfares) to enhance major gateways into the community and create a high-quality image. In addition, the Industrial Park category is used as a transition from Industrial to Residential uses. General Industrial category has been established for seven subareas. This category is intended to accommodate a wide range of light to medium manufacturing and wholesale, storage, distribution uses. Typically, administrative, office, and professional services are not allowed to reduce the potential for land use conflicts. Design and technical standards are less demanding than for the Industrial Park category, but safeguards are provided to ensure a pleasant, well-functioning environment. The development of prefab, all metal · sheathing for buildings is considered inappropriate for this category. Minimum Impact/Heaw Industrial category is designated for Subarea 9. This category provides for heavy manufacturing and wholesale storage and distribution uses which do not have a significant aesthetic impact on the surrounding area. Not permitted in this area are massive outside structures such as cranes or unscreened storage of raw or finished products. Landscaping requirements in Subarea 9 along Arrow Route have been increased to create a smoother transition to the adjoining Industrial Park and General Industrial property. Heaw Industrial category has been designated for Subarea 15. Permitted uses include medium, minimum impact, and heavy industrial manufacturing and each of the wholesale storage and distribution uses. Design and technical standards in this category allow massive outdoor structures and open air storage in an unscreened manner. A high degree of rail usage may also be typical. Mixed Use category has been designated for a portion of Subarea 18. This category is intended to encourage the mix of different, but compatible, land uses and activities within a single integrated development. Mixed use developments are ideally suited adjacent to high activity nodes along major transportation corridors, particularly adjacent to public transit facilities to establish a built-in aldership. Mixed use projects can incorporate a wide range of commercial and industrial activities, including medium, light, and custom manufacturing; research and development; office; recreation; and commercial. Open Space has been designated for a portion of Subarea 18. Permitted uses include golf courses, outdoor recreation areas, and parks. 17.30-42 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 84 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 E. Special Emohasis Areas. Haven Avenue Overlay District is located on both sides of Haven Avenue from Foothill Boulevard south to 4th Street. Haven Avenue is a major north-south travel route and contains high-end office development with the unique combination of direct access to the Ontario Airport and the Interstate 10 Freeway. The standards in the Oveday District aro designed to enhance Rancho Cucamonga's image by providing an intensive, high-quality, and prestigious gateway into the community. A progressive, sophisticated, and urban style of development is required end special site planning and landscaping requirements are included to enhance the pedestrian environment and create a campus-like atmosphere. Interstate 15 (Devore Freeway) runs north-south through the Industrial area and borders seven subareas in each land use category except for General Industrial/Rail Served. Since this area is directly south of the future regional mall and related commercial activities at the I-15 Freeway and Foothill Boulevard, and views along the freeway have a major impact on the image and identity of Rancho Cucamonga, highest consideration should be given to design aspects that affect a positive image of the community as viewed from the freeway. Special considerations aro contained in the Development Standards for each subarea which abuts the I-15 Freeway. (An 1-15 Overlay District could provide special development criteria to eliminate unsightly views.) Special Boulevards. The General Plan states that travel routes are predominant elements of the community's image and encourages the distinctiveness of individual districts and roadway corridors. In addition, the General Plan states that a consistent design theme is necessary to reinforce the image of perception of a route. Within the Industrial districts, nine special boulevards are included. The following is a brief description of the primary function and identity for the most significant special boulevards including Foothill Boulevard, Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, Archibald Avenue, and 4th Street. ao Foothill Boulevard serves as the major east-west transportation corridor through the City. It also links the area east of Haven Avenue including the planned communities and regional shopping mall with the commercial area to the east. Within the Industrial districts (Subareas 6 & 7), new development along Foothill Boulevard must provide a transition to commercial and office facilities within the Terra Vista and Victoria Community Plans and the Eftwanda Specific Plan areas, and shall comply with Section 17.32.060, Foothill Boulevard Design Guidelines. Given the high visibility, office and commercial service type uses will predominate. Any light manufacturing or warehouse buildings will have to be designed to the highest quality and be compatible with commercial and residential environments on the north side of Foothill Boulevard. Archibald Avenue serves primarily as a support service function to the Industrial area. A variety of industrial, commercial, and residential uses exist along major portions of the street. The major opportunity along Archibald Avenue is on the west side of the street south of 6th Street. New development in this area must be compatible with adjacent residential uses and provide an appropriate transition in terms of architecture, site planning, and landscaping. One story buildings in scale with the single family homes fronting on 6th Street and pedestrian connections to residential should be provided. 17.3O-43 6/99 ~0 Ordinance No. 604 Page 86 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 Milliken Avenue will function as a primary north-south arterial through the Industrial area and connect the planned communities of Victoria and Terra Vista south to Interstate 10. Unlike other special boulevards with adjoining subareas designated Industrial Park, Milliken Avenue cuts through six different subareas and four land use categories, including Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial. Traffic counts will be similar to Haven Avenue, but a greater mix of truck traffic is expected along with the potential of different commuter traffic hours because of varying employee shifts in the area. Given this setting, the functional and visual identity of Milliken Avenue will be influenced by a wide range of land uses. Building types may range from offices in multi-tenent industrial to large-scale distribution and manufacturing. However, to assure aesthetic quality end design uniformity, all architectural elevations along Milliken Avenue should be enhanced with variations in building form and articulation of services. In addition, outdoor storage, loading areas, and truck parking should not be visible from the street. 4th Street is the boundary between Rancho Cucamonga and the City of Ontario, east of Cucamonga Creek (Hellman Avenue). As such, a series of gateways are planned at major intersections along 4th Street (Archibald Avenue, Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, Interstate 15, end Etiwanda Avenue). A consistent program of special landscape features and street monumentation signs with the City's emblem is to be implemented. Landscape DesiGn. Landscaping serves as a major design component of the urban design image of the Industrial districts. Through the variation of landscaping design and standards, distinction and identity of individual subareas and roadways can be achieved. To this end, the average depth of landscaping along street frontages and the percentage of net land area devoted to landscaping is varied. To distinguish special boulevards, landscaped median islands, meandering sidewalks, end street name monumentation signs are planned. Throughout the Industrial area, these pdmary landscape design concepts should be followed: Streetscaoe: Street trees of similar species establish a consistent design pattern within the parkway of each street; evergreen trees shall be used as a backdrop for deciduous, particularly where needed to screen unsightly views and enhance building elevations; shrub planting and berming provides the desired screening of the parking areas. On-Site Landscaoinq: Provides canopy trees for shading outdoor pedestrian areas and parking lots; breaks up lengthy building elevations along the side and rear properties with tree plenting; use evergreen pines for wind protection and to screen undesirable views. Special Accent Treatment: Includes the addition of special landscape design features such as color accents, specimen tree planting, decorative rockscape, and pavement details to provide visual enhancements to roadway intersections, driveway approaches, pedestrian walkways, and building entries. Pedestrian Amenities: Provides for the inclusion of a pedestrian circulation system and accompanying plaza and patios as an integral part of a unified site design. Such a plan provides for the safe and orderly transition of vehicular and pedestrian traffic by means of clearly identifiable and attractive walkways. Tree Size/Staking: Specimen size trees (24-inch box or larger) are encouraged to promote the early establishment of mature plantings. Severe wind conditions require all trees to be staked or guy wires used per City standards. 17.30-45 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 87 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 Drought Tolerance: Because of the community's arid climate, the use of drought tolerant plant material is strongly encouraged. Turf should be limited to areas of major design emphasis with the use of rockscape/hardscape and groundcover to limit water consumption. Irriaation: Water conserving irrigation techniques are required. Deep root watering systems for trees, particularly in turf areas, are encouraged. Open Space Network: Elements that constitute open space include parks, outdoor recreation areas, creeks and channels, transmission corridors, and stormwater retention areas. In addition, to the extent that they provide amenities, development setback areas, and street landscaping with associated pedestrian and bicycle paths also compliment open space. Easements for creeks, channels, and power line corridors traverse the Industrial area, linking them with the City's regions and National Forest open space areas. Directly south of 4th Street between the Cucamonga Creek and Hermosa Avenue is Guasti Regional Park, comprised of approximately 200 acres, to which both Cucamonga and Deer Creek Channels connect. While all of these linear open space components run north/south, this chapter proposes east/west connections of open space, incorporating the setback requirements along major arterials, as well as related buffer landscaping provisions along certain land use edges. The private open space areas, developed internally within the planned industrial projects, should connect with the area-wide open space network wherever possible, to avoid fragmentation of open space to unify the area-wide appearance. Go Special Features. Special features refer to areas of visual, historic, and activity focal points within and near the Industrial area. These features should be respected and development and redevelopment around them should compliment and enhance their scale and character. The coordinated improvements of the special features and the corridors along which they are located, should further help unify the overall appearance of the Industrial area and the City. The old Cucamonga historic commercial center at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue and the location of Thomas Winery at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, are also of historic interest. A 42-acre Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sports Park featuring year-round sports activities, including the Rancho Cucamonga Stadium, is located on the west side of Rochester Avenue, south of Foothill Boulevard. A 150-acre public golf course stretches from 4th Street to the Metrolink tracks, west of Milliken Avenue. The course provides significant vistas from 6th Street. Also along Foothill Boulevard near its interchange at the Interstate 15 is proposed a major regional shopping center (over one million square feet of floor space containing six department stores on approximately 100 acres of land). This would be a significant commercial activity center of regional impact. Gateways. Certain points of access to the City will, by use, become major entrances to the Industrial area. A significant portion of the visitors' and users' impressions of the Industrial area are influenced by conditions at these locations. Hence, it is imperative that special considerations be given to the development and design of these gateway areas. As shown in Figure 17.30.060-A, gateway areas are identified along the major roadways that form the industrial area (and City) boundaries--4th Street, Foothill Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, 17.30-46 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 88 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 and Arrow Route. The gateway of primary importance is located at the intersection of Haven Avenue and 4th Street. Other major gateways to the Industrial area include Archibald Avenue at 4th Street, Milliken Avenue at 4th Street, Interstate 15 interchange at 4th Street, the proposed Interstate 15 interchange at 6th Street, and Interstate 15 interchange at Foothill Boulevard. Utilities. To enhance the beauty and character of the community, all new and existing utility lines, including electric distribution lines of 34.5KV and less, shall be undergrounded as a condition of development. Architecture and Desiqn. The purpose of Architecture and Design Standards and Guidelines, is to ensure that the built environment within the Industrial area is compatible with the nature and use of each land use category. The goal is to ensure high-quality, timeless building design, which includes building e~try focal point, sufficient articulation to the building plane, and the creative use of building materials. The standards and guidelines are intended to result in a well- -designed environment which is safe and pleasing to work within. These standards and guidelines shall apply on an area wide basis and, where noted, within certain land use categories. The design of buildings and site plans should be compatible with surrounding land use and architecture and should recognize the climate, physical setting, and best architectural traditions of Southern California. Building orientation should include considerations of wind protection of site activities. Desirable architecture shall project a high-quality, progressive, sophisticated style of development. Variations in architectural style and construction methods and materials are encouraged. All building entrances shall be well articulated and project a formal entrance statement through variations in architectural planes, pavement sudace treatment, and landscape plazas, as well as relate to pedestrians. The articulated building entrances, together with the landscape plazas, should be. designed to relate to, and connect with, the area-wide network of open space, thus, unifying and fostering a sense of community. The degree of architectural treatment and embellishments must relate to the scale and mass of the building. 6. Accent treatment, such as changes in exterior materials and texture, is required. The creative use of building materials is required. A minimum of two primary building materials shall be used. The recommended primary and secondary building materials are as follows: Primary building materials - concrete, sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, granite, marble, and similar materials as approved by the Design Review Committee. Secondary building materials - glass, tile, polished brass or copper, brick, concrete, painted metal elements, painted accent stripe, and other similar materials as approved by the Design Review Committee. 17.30-47 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 89 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 All exterior wall elevations of buildings and screen walls shall have architectural treatment. Articulation of elevation surfaces is encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns and provide variety to a building plane or surface. At ground level, expanses of blank building walls shall be minimized with creative use of materials, textures, color, and/or building form. 10. Colors, materials, and finishes shall be coordinated in all exterior elevations of the buildings to achieve a total continuity of design. 11. Building materials, colors, and textures shall be compatible with those of adjacent or nearby buildings. 12. The use of prefab, all metal steel sheathing for buildings is prohibited from the Industrial Park and General Industrial categories. This is not to preclude the use of metal detail within architecturally designed buildings such as "Cortin" steel. Where used, metal buildings shall be architecturally designed to be compatible with surrounding land use and architecture. 13. The height and bulk of buildings shall not unduly block views and solar access of adjacent and other nearby buildings. 14. Maximum building or structure height shall not exceed four stories or 75 feet whichever is greater, unless approved through the Conditional Use Permit process. Site Planning. The purpose of Site Planning Standards and Guidelines is to ensure for a functional, safe, and visually pleasing environment for those who may pass through or work in the area. The following standards and guidelines shall apply throughout the Industrial area. Building placement shall be designed in such a way to create opportunities for plazas or other landscaped open spaces and encourage defined and spaciously enclosed open space on the same site or adjoining sites. Building orientation should include consideration of wind protection for site activities. The City Planner may require a detailed wind analysis of designs in question for adequacy (in wind protection) as a part of development application. The access and circulation of a development should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system, both on- and off-site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City's access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points of access shall not conflict with other planned or existing access points. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, pullouts, and pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and City Planner in consultation with the local transit provider. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize vehicle noise, lights and 17.30-48 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 90 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound walls, general location, use of well-designed lights and landscaping throughout the parking lot. Landscaping and open spaces should be designed as an integral part of the overall site plan design, and be designed to create visual interest and variety to the streetscape; enhance building architecture; screen utilities; and buffer views of automobiles, pavement and service areas; and define and distinguish the pedestrian environment from vehicular spaces. Consideration should be given to wind protection of building and site activities by the buffer planting of wind tolerant trees and shrubs. Pedestrian Orientation. Colonnades or loggias and other covered walkways or structures that provide shade to pedestrian spaces shall be utilized whenever possible. Employee outdoor eating areas shall be provided as an integral part of site designs. 1. At street level, the use of building materials and building details that relate to human activity shall be required where appropriate. 2. Convenient pedestrian circulation shall be provided throughout all projects to connect public streets, parking areas, and public transit facilities with buildings and pedestrian open spaces. 3. Open spaces shall be integrated with pedestrian walks and defined by landscaping and other elements to create a sense of place. 4. Where possible, open spaces shall be accessible to the public. Street Furniture. Benches, light standards, kiosks, drinking fountains, trash receptacles, and other street furniture in on-site open spaces shall be designed in a coordinated fashion to enhance the appearance and function of the site and open space. 1. Pedestrian areas shall be highly visible and well lit. 17.30-49 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 91 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.070 - Trip Reduction Ao Section 17.30.070 So A minimum of one shower facility accessible to both men and women shaJl be provided for persons walking or bicycling to work for each project which meets the following thresholds: Commercial 250,000 square feet Industrial 325,000 square feet · Office 125,000 square feet Hotels and Motels 250 rooms Office Parks with 1,000 or more employees shall provide on-site video conference facilities. Ride-sharing encompasses all forms of transportation that involve pre-arranged shared rides for travelers with similar origins, destinations, and travel schedules. Included are carpools, vanpools, and subscription bus (commuter club bus) services. The primary market for ride- sharing is the work commute trip, which makes ride-sharing a promising means to reduce traffic in the Industrial area. Within Rancho Cucamonga, ride-sharing is facilitated and promoted by Commuter Computer. Results; other sources have indicated that employer-sponsored programs can be most effective, particularly for larger employers. Actions that can be taken by employers include: 1. Distributing ride-sharing matching forms to all new employees and regularly to continuing employees; 2. Surveys of employees to determine interest in ricte-sharing; 3. Designation of staff member to assist other employees in finding carpool matches; 4. Advertising and promotions to generate interest and viability for the program; 5. Tailoring of work hours to facilitate ride-sharing; 6. Provisions of preferentially located or priced parking for carpoolers; 7. Leasing of vans, at cost, for employees who vant3ool; 8.

The purpose of preparing subarea development standards is to identify the most prominent de~iopment standards applied within each of the 18 subareas in the Industrial districts. For each subarea ff~e following categories have been identified and discussed: 2. 3. 4. 5. Land Use Designation I:~mar~ Function Permitted and Cond'~3nally Permitted Uses Access and Circulation Special Considerations The list described above does not intend to cover every specific development requirement which may be utilized in dev91oping within the industrial area, but does provide a quick overview of the major development considerations within each subarea. Any person interested in developing within the boundaries of the Industrial districts should refer to this Chapter in its entirety for an in-depth discussion of all the development constraints, opportunities, and standards. Any special conditions which may provide exception or modification to development requirement are discussed within the "Special Consideration" topic of each subarea. 17.30-51 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 93 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code FIGURE 17.30.080-A Section 17.30.080 Z HAVEN AVENUE OVERLAY DISTRICT Revi.ed 4/1/92 Urban Center CIRCULATION I 120' R.O~W.

Haven Avenue Overlay District. Puroose. The purpose of the Overlay District is to establish development standards which address the unique setting and character of the Haven Avenue Corridor. The Haven Avenue Oveday Distdct is located on both the east and west sides of Haven Avenue extending from Foothill Boulevard south to 4th Street, as shown in Figure 17.30.080-A. AoDlicabilitv. The Haven Avenue Overlay District is to be applied in conjunction with Subareas 6 and 7 and provides more specific and/or restrictive development policies, design standards, and land use regulations for both Subareas. Topics not specifically covered by the Haven Avenue Oveday District will continue to be governed by the regulations of the Industrial Districts. Development adjacent to the Haven Avenue Overlay District shall consider compatibility and integration with the Overlay District through the Maste~ Plan proteas. Settin(]. Haven Avenue is located near the geographic center of the City and will be the most significant gateway into Rancho Cucamonga. Another important aspect is the distinctiveness of the Haven Avenue Corridor in relation to other major arterials designated as "Special Boulevards.' Haven Avenue is the major travel route for the City and has the potential for high-and office development with a unique combination of direct access to the airport and the Interstate 10 Freeway. This provides the City a rare opportunity to enhance its image by encouraging intensive, high-quality office and professional development along the Haven Avenue Corridor. Relation to General Plan. The General Plan affirms that travel routes are predominate elements of the community's image and encourages the distinctiveness of individual districts and roadway corridors. In addition, the General Plan states that a consistent design theme is necessary to reinforce the image or perception of a route. The Haven Avenue Corridor and the Industrial Park category should be designed to project a "cam pus like image for firms seeking an attractive and pleasant working environment with high prestige value." Goal Statement. Goals are statements that define the community's aspiration and intentions. The goal for the Haven Avenue Corddor has evolved from sessions with the industrial and business communities and the City's elected and appointed officials. This goal represents the current conception of and future aspirations for the best interest of the City for the Haven Avenue Corridor. The Haven Avenue Corridor goal is to: Encourage long-range master planned development along the Haven Avenue Corridor which enhances Rancho Cucamonga's image by providing an intensive, high-quality gateway into the City and by promoting a distinctive, attractive, and pleasant office park atmosphere in a campus-like setting with high prestige identity. Land Use Tvces. The intent of the following policies is to encourage land uses and development consistent with the design goal for the Haven Avenue Corridor as an intensive, high-quality gateway into the community. ao The primary land use function along Haven Avenue is intended to be of an administrative/professional and office nature. However, on the parcels directly adjacent to the railroad, the Planning Commission may consider additional uses 17.30-53 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 95 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 permitted in Subarea 6, subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, and a finding that such a use will be consistent with the stated design goal for the Haven Avenue Corridor and all other provisions of the Overlay District. Select ancillary research services and commercial and business support service uses shall not exceed 20 percent of the floor area in any Master Planned development. Concentration of such uses in any building or along the street frontage is not permitted. The following land use types am permitted or conditionally permitted within the Haven Avenue eveday District. All other uses shall be prohibited. (1) Permitted Uses Administrative and Office Administrative Civic Services Business Supply Retail Sales & Services* Business Support Services* Communication Services Cultural Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate Services Flood Control/Utility Corridor Hotel/Motel Medical/Health Care Services Professional/Design Services Restaurants (2) ConditionalIv Permitted Uses Convenience Sales and Services* Day Care Facility Entertainment Fast Food Sales* Personal Services* Public Assembly Public Safety and Utility Services Recreation Facilities Religious Assembly Restaurants with Bar or Entertainment Schools *Ancillary uses limited to 20 percent of the floor area per 5.b above. Fast food services are specifically excluded as a primary use. This would preclude the development .of typical free-standing fast food restaurants, most of which require drive-through facilities, in the Haven Avenue Overlay District. However, fast food could be permitted as an ancillary or secondary use, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, as a part of a larger project, provided such use not be located directly adjacent to Haven Avenue. Accessory/Ancillary Use Restrictions. The purpose of this section is to set maximum development provisions for accessory/ancillary uses which are not 17.30-54 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 96 Section 17.30.080 no..r~y permitled in the Haven Avenue Overlay District. The following provisions shall apply in the Haven Avenue Oreday District: (1) The total of all accessory/ancillary uses not listed as permitted or conditionally permitted uses* are limited to 20 percent of the total building and business area. The ancillary commercial and business support service uses listed in Section 5.b may exceed the 20 percent business area limitation. (2) Accessory/ancillary uses must be located within main buildings housing permitted principal uses. No outdoor accessory/ancillary uses are permitted. (3) No accessory/ancillary manufacturing uses are permitted in the Haven Av~u~ ~y Dislricl. Only uses defined and listed in Section 17.30.030.D can be considered as accessory or ancillary uses. Master Planned Develooment. The intent of this section is to provide for integrated development at the earliest possible time in the review process. Through the Master Plan process, there are opportunities to coordinate the efforts of single or multiple property owners and discourage piecemeal development:. Finally, master planning of defined areas will avoid development of single parcels of land in a manner which would prevent or preclude future development of adjacent parcels in the best way feasible. It is not the intention of the master planning process to cast future development patterns in stone. Rather, it is an attempt to discover problems before they develop, to deal with issues while they can be solved, and to take advantage of opportunities while they exist. The standards and guidelines which follow are intended to apply to all projects and should not be constrained by parcel lines or specific site boundaries. A Conceptual Master Plan shall be submitted for Planning Commission approval, together with any development proposal, including subdivision or parcel map applications. Such Master Plan shall address relationships to other parcels within the Master Plan area. At minimum, Master Plans shall indicate ,conceptual building locations, overall circulation, points of ingress and egress to both public and private streets, parking lot layouts, conceptual grading and drainage, areas to be used for landscaping and plazas, pedestrian circulation, and common signing. Areas intended for common use, such as shared access, reciprocal parking, or pedestrian plazas shall also be identified. In addition, a statement of architectural intent and/or conceptual elevations shall be submitted to indicate how the architectural concepts including style, form, bulk, height, orientation, and materials relate to other buildings or projects within the planning area as well as to the overall design goal for Haven Avenue. The Master Plan boundaries indicated in Figure 17.30.080-B are logical planning boundaries based upon physical constraints and property ownership. These boundaries may be modified when it is determined that the Master Plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. The City Planner may require master planning of property outside the Overlay District, 17.30-55 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ,aa~g e ,97 .~ cno t~ucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 adjacent to a project proposal, where necessary to assure integrated development and promote the goal of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. do No parcel map or subdivision map shall be accepted or approved without concurrent submittal and approval of a Master Plan to assure integrated development consistent with the goal of the Haven Avenue Oveday District. eo Architecture within a Master Planned development shall have a compatible design style, with variation, in the building style, form, and materials in accordance with the architectural standards of the Overlay District. fo Lot ~i~e. Minimum parcel size shall be 2 acres with a minimum parcel depth of 225 feet within a Master Plan development. A 300-foot minimum lot width shall also be required, consistent with the access control policies. The Planning Commission may waive these requirements when it is determined that the parcel is part of a Master Plan which is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Overlay District. All lots of record are allowed to develop according to the requirements of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Access. Vehicular access onto Haven Avenue shall be discouraged wherever suitable alternative access may be developed from other streets as determined through the Master Plan process. If vehicular access onto Haven Avenue is granted, said access shall be shared with adjacent parcels. The minimum distance between ddve approaches shall be 300 feet with 100 feet being the minimum distance between a drive approach and the curb return of any intersection along Haven Avenue. Also, reciprocal parking and access easements shall be required, where appropriate, with any development proposal. Public transit facilities shall be considered within all Master Plans. Convenient pedestrian access shall be provided to designated transit facilities, such as bus stops. On-site circulation for both pedestrians and vehicles shall consider existing or planned circulation patterns on adjacent proparties. Connections shall be made,' where appropriate, to foster more integrated development and enhance pedestrian movement. Site Orientation. The following standards are intended to promote integrated, pedestrian- oriented, office park development in a campus-like setting: Pedestrian Orientation. Site planning, including building configuration and placement, must create opportunities for courtyards and plazas and other landscaped open spaces and promote safe and convenient pedestrian movement with continuous landscaped pathways between buildings. Parking areas and circulation aisles along the Haven Avenue street frontage are discouraged and may only be approved through the Master Plan process when it is determined appropriate and necessary to implement the design goal of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Their visual impact shall be fully mitigated through dispersed parking areas and extensive landscaping and berming. 17.30-56 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 98 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 c. Vehicular circulation aro'ull~'d;'th~ rear and side portions of a site is encouraged. Circulation aisles which fragment or disrupt the connection of pedestrian spaces throughout a project shall be avoided to the extent possible. Parking. The use of dispersed parking areas which provide convenient access to buildings without interrupting interior pedestrian .spaces is encouraged to reduce the need for large parking lots. Where large parking lots are necessary, they shall be located in areas less visible from Haven Avenue and their visual impact fully mitigated with building placement and extensive landscaping and berming. e. On-street parking along Haven Avenue shall be prohibited. 17.30-57 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30.080 FIGURE 17.30.080-B MASTER PLAN .L:-J ,~"~;~ ~--' ..... ......,_-~:: · ~,~=tl~Hll~l'. ~. ,.: .. ~_.:~.'* ,._~ AREAS -" .';."'::": ';**,': .~li!R~. ;.:..:'.'.':'.~:, ::.,?.'.~ .... ., .,* ~,%; · ,, Revi~4/1/g2 .A :~'""~'~. ~ ...'.

Multiple building placement should provide variable streetscape setbacks to reduce streett~__~ne monotony. Setbacks. A 45-foot average landscape setback and a minimum 45-foot building setback shall be required along Haven Avenue, as measured from the ultimate face of curb, including existing lots of record and condominium lots or tots within a center when designed as an integral part of a Master Planned development. ho Ancillary service and loading areas shall 10e designed and located where least visible from public view and adjacent properties designated "Industrial Park." All ex'~ting and ne~ util'~ies, including electrical services less than 34.5 kv, within Ihe project shall be installed underground. Landscapinq ReQuirements. The intent of the following standards is to enhance the visual quality of the streetscape and provide an attractive and pleasant working environment in a campus-like setting. Minimum Landscape Coverage. A minimum 25 percent of net lot area (excludes right-of-way dedications and private streets) shall be landscaped areas and pedestrian hardscape plazas and courtyards. The landscape/hardscape coverage requirement may be modified for individual parcels within master planned developments when it is determined that the master plan, as a whole, meets the required coverage and the project is consistent with the intent and purposes of the design goal for Haven Avenue. A maximum 5 percent credit toward the recluired landscape/hardscape coverage may be permitted where appropriate public art is to be displayed in a setting which enhances pedestrian spaces and building architecture. do A consistent streetscape design theme shall be developed along the Haven Avenue streetscape which incorporates intensified landscaping with specimen size trees, alluvial rockscape, mounding, meandering sidewalks, and appropriate street furniture. Landscaping materials shall be selected which provide an historic link to the City's past, such as Eucalyptus windrows, citrus trees, and grape vines. In addition, a program of street name monument signs shall be developed to include low profile, natural alluvial rock monument signs with individual letters formed in a sandblasted concrete face. Berming. Landscaping and berming shall be designed to create visual interest and variety to the streetscape; enhance building architecture; screen utilities; buffer views of automobiles, pavement, and service areas; and define and distinguish the pedestrian environment from vehicular spaces. 17.30-59 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 101 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 Water Conservation. A combination of water-conserving landscape and irrigation techniques are required such as the use of drought tolerant plant species and hardscape (non- irrigated) surfaces, and special irrigation systems such as drip emitters, low volume stream rotors, deep watering of trees and shrubs, tensiometers to measure soil moisture, and automatic timers. g. Landscape materials shall be selected 1or their low maintenance, drought tolerance, and heat and wind tolerance. Open Space and Pedestrian Environment. The intent of this section is to promote the functional design and location of pedestrian spaces, and provide convenient pedestrian circulation on. and off-site and promote a campus-like setting. The develot~'~ent of a pedestrian node or focaJ point, such as a plaza or courtyard is required within all projects. The location of plazas and courtyards should encourage maximum pedestrian use and be separated and/or buffered from vehicular parking and circulation. Such locations may be near a prominent building entrance or along a centralized pedestrian path. Pedestrian Facilities. Pedestrian plazas or courtyards shall be designed to create an attractive, comfortable, and functional setting with a "sense of ptace." A combination of the following design elements are encouraged, but are not limited to: pavement or surface texture; elevation/grade changes; use of landscape materials and structures to provide shade and define enclosed spaces; seating (e.g., benches, steps, or raised planters); and outdoor eating areas. In addition, the use of water features, covered walkways, kiosks and public art are encouraged. 10. do Trash receptacles, drinking fountains, light standards, and other street furniture shall be designed to enhance the appearance and function of open space areas. Convenient pedestrian circulation shall be provided throughout all projects to connect parking areas and public transit facilities with buildings and pedestrian open spaces. Architecture. The following standards are intended to promote a high-quality office park image with high prestige identity. Urban Stvle. be Desirable architecture along Haven Avenue shall project a high-quality, progressive, sophisticated, and urban style of development. While the use of a variety of exterior materials may be permitted to achieve this image; Spanish, Mediterranean, or traditional architecture styles are not generally considered appropriate for office buildings. Variations in architectural styles, construction methods, and materials for certain ancillary uses, such as restaurants and banks, may be permitted where the architecture is exemplary and consistent with the high quality image required for 17.30-6O 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 102 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 Haven Avenue and where a p~rticular design is necessary and more appropriate considering the intended use of the building. Multiple Stow. Multiple story buildings of sufficient mass are encouraged if they reflect the scale and proportion of the Haven Avenue right-of-way and streetscape setbacks. Low linear buildings are discouraged. Building design elements that are considered inappropriate for an office park atmosphere include retail type storefront elevations (linear configurations, continuous ground floor glazing, multiple doorways), and numerous overhead roll- up doors which promote concentrations of ancillary commercial and business support services, and are therefore prohibited. Service and loading areas shall be screened from public view and adjoining properties, wherever possible, to reduce site design constraints on future adjacent devetopw~ent. The design of loading doors shall be consistent with office arch/tectural design features. All building equipment must be housed within the building or below finished grade. All equipment screening must be architecturally integrated into the overall office building design. Architbctural Varietv. Within the Overlay District, all building features must exhibit an office style architecture regardless of the type of accessory/ancillary uses or equipment contained within the building or on the site. Architectural planes shall have variation in depth and angle to create variety and interest in the basic form and silhouette of the building. go Articulation of the elevation surfaces is encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns and provide variety in the building plane or sudace. Building entrances shall be well articulated and project a formal entrance statement ' through variation of architectural planes, pavement surface treatment, and landscaped plazas. Accent treatment such as changes in exterior materials and texture is encouraged in conjunction with variation in the major form-giving elements of a structure. Siqns. A coordinated Uniform Sign Program shall be required for any development, including wall and monument signs. Building wall signs shall consist of individual letters and canned signs are prohibited. The size, number, typical design, and location of the signs, as permitted by the City's Sign Ordinance, shall be submitted with the development application and be reviewed concurrently. 11. Urban Centers. The following standards are intended to promote the highest quality development and intensity to create community focal points or "urban centers" near the key intersections of 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard. The .applicability of these urban center standards for specific parcels shall be determined through the Master Plan review process. 17.30-61 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 103 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 Multiple story buildings shall be of the highest design quality, particularly at the immediate corners of 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard. Desirable structural components include steel and concrete in conjunction with curtain walls, spandrels, and glass. Wood frame structures are discouraged. A minimum 30 percent of net lot area (excludes right-of-way dedications and private streets) shall be landscaped areas and pedestrian hardscape plazas or courtyards. do Special landscaping and streetscape design features shall be developed for the intersections at 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard to create an intensive and prestigious gateway entry into Rancho Cucamonga and the Haven Avenue Corridor. The use of parking structures is encouraged to promote intensified development and maximize the site area devoted to urban pedestrian plazas and courtyards. Parking structures shall be harmoniously designed with the main building and located around the rear or side portions of the site. The minimum parcel size shall be 5 acres unless waived by the Planning Commission when it is determined that the parcel is designed as an integral part of a master planned development consistent with the intent and purpose of the Overlay District. 17.30-62 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code FIGURE 17.30.080-C Ordinance No. 604 Page 104 Section 17.30.080 $UE AREA 'i RevllJed: 411 ~..fea 2 CmCm.

Subarea 1. 1. Land Use Desi(~nation: General Industrial. Priman/ Function: The long-range plan for this subarea is to maintain its function primarily as a community-serving industrial area, consisting of light manufacturing, warehousing, and other General Industrial group uses. Surrounded by residential uses to the north, east, and south, the subarea contains a few existing industrial uses which occupy approximately 25 acres. The subarea is also traversed bythe Cucamonga Creek Flood Control Channel. While the subarea is directly accessible to the rail line and the Ontario International Airport via Vineyard Avenue, the uses that exist today are not particularly dependent upon these transportation modes. 3.

The minimum front parking setback shall be 35 feet for such parcels. In areas which abut residential uses, screening of industrial buildings, parking, storage, and equipment areas is required through the use of walls, fences, and/or berms. The screening, in conjunction with the streetscape setback and landscaping, will soften the edge of the industrial development and provide an attractive design element. Screen wall/fence height shall not exceed 3 feet inside the 40-foot parking setback. In areas abutting residential uses, access via internal circulation in place of residential streets is encouraged, when feasible, in order to minimize impacts upon existing residential, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation patterns. Although the right-of-way on 8th Street, west of Vineyard Avenue is greater than 54 feet, the local street setbacks for buildings and parking shall apply. However, considering the shallow depth of the property on the north side of 8th Street, the average depth of streetscape landscaping required shall be determined during the Technical/Design Review process. 17.30-65 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 107 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code FIGURE 17.30.080-D Section 17.30.080 SUSARF-A 2' Revised: 41110~ A II" ll: =lll 1~0' ILO.W. t00' ILO.W. ~' oc ~s R.O.W.

Pdmarv Function: The long-range plan for this subarea is to protect and enhance the viability of the existing industrial uses by eliminating conflicting land uses and improving land use transitions. Its primary function is to remain as General Industrial. Surrounded by residential uses to the north and south, and by the North Town neighborhood and an elementary school on ~ east, Subarea 3 contains a mixture of land uses including industrial, commercial, and resklential. The existing industrial uses include some of the older establishments such as a lumberyard and metal forging shops, etc., as well as more recent light manufacturing and office uses along Archibald Avenue and Arrow Route. Older residential uses still remain on the southern side of the Metrolink rail line. A small convenience store is located on Archibald Avenue near the railroad track. 3.

Community DesiQn Goal: Create a community design image that expresses and enhances the unique character and ~ ot Rancho Cucamonga. Obiectives Develop a streetscape system which reinforces the existing suburban parkways as vehicular areas and designates major street intersections as pedestrian activity center nodes throughout the corridor. Provide a system of vehicular gateway nodes which announce and identify entries into Rancho Cucamonga and achieve an overall positive identity for the area. Promote compatible building elevations which provide transition at pedestrian areas to higher elevations while protecting adjoining residential neighborhoods. Promote contemporary landscape treatments throughout the corridor particularly those that are low maintenance, drought resistant, and able to withstand high winds and intense urban conditions. o Provide for the elimination of visually objectionable views such as outdoor storage and loading areas through the use of design guidelines. Policies Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes which are sensitive to creating a "heritage" statement for Foothill Boulevard. It is not the intent of this thematic overview to discourage innovative or contemporary architectural expressions or to imitate the architecture of the past, but to promote the harmonious coexistence of architectural styles varying from restoration to contemporary architectural themes. 17.32-1 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 139 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.010 Require compliance with the community design guidelines in plans for new development, expansion, or redevelopment and make community design a major consideration in site plan review and approval. o Utilize landscape materials within the corridor which are clean, safe, wind resistant, and relatively low maintenance. Formal forms and configurations should be utilized at activity center nodes while less formal, suburban type configurations should be utilized throughout the parkway links in between. Develop an incentive program which rewards private sector development for providing certain 'extra' design amenities within their developments. Of particular interest are solar-control devices such as building overhangs, awnings, and extra plantings in parking lot areas. Consideration should be given to special paving materials used in place of asphalt in vehicular areas. o Consider economic incentives for owners who wish to architecturally rehabilitate, refurbish, or upgrade landscaping on existing properties of significant cultural/historical heritage, but not for expansion. o Designate special landscape and architectural features at major intersaction locations to combine thematic plantings with complementary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive thematic character for these activity center nodes. Changes in paving materials, plant materials, lighting, signing, and siting of adjacent structures should occur at major intersections to enhance their distinctiveness. Any buildings identified as architecturally significant such as the Thomas Brothers Winery or the Sycamore Inn should, where feasible and if necessary, be restored and integrated into adjacent development. o Require development which is sensitive to significant natural landforms such as the hillside at the Sycamore Inn site (Red Hill). So Land Use/Economic Goal: Create a Development Code which is sensitive to community land use and fiscal needs. Objectives Maximize the economic position of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor commercial activities, capturing neighborhood and subregional demand. Promote distinctive, intense, commercial clusters which are sensitive to historical characteristics at key activity center nodes, such as those at the western entry to the City (Archibald Avenue at Vineyard Avenue and easterly from the I-15 Freeway intersection). Require master planning at key sites within the Foothill Boulevard study area to assure integrated development utilizing coordinated access, parking, building orientation/locations, pedestrian, and transit facilities. Employ a Mixed-Use Development Concept to reduce the number of larger vacant commercial properties and encourage infill development while providing opportunities for residential development. 17.32-2 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 140 Section 17.32.010 Ensure the gradual upgrading of under-utilized land uses functioning at less than their market potential. Reconfigure elongated parcels and improve access to lots which are located in the easterly subareas of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Devise mechanisms for the physical upgrading of existing developments with recognized significant architectural and historic value. Policies Establish regulatJ(ms and provide incentive bonuses which promote pedestrian-oriented plazas; and encourage intensive commercial uses at key activity nodes along Foothill Boulevard. Prepare Development Regulations and Guidelines which simplify the development review process. Establish regulations for mixed use developments which assure proper land use mixture, minimum lot size, access restrictions, buffering, and master planning. 4. Preserve historic retail commercial uses (i.e., Thomas Brothers, Sycamore Inn). Establish an incentive/bonus program of lot consolidation for small, shallow parcels along the corridor to encourage development into planned concentrations as opposed to a linear strip commercial configuration. 6. Allow nonconforming uses to continue as per current City policies and regulations. Encourage the formation of new redevelopment programs to assist retail and service businesses with property improvements. Develop incentives to encourage specialty commercial clusters at key activity center nodes. Circulation Goal: Develop a circulation system which facilitates efficient and safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic and enhances the community design character along Foothill Boulevard. 17.32-3 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 141 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Obiectives 1. 2. Section 17.32.010 Limit vehicular access points on Foothill Boulevard. Develop a mixture of land uses which reduce home/work trips within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and the City. 3. Provide for, and phase, necessary street i .mprovements to maximize the efficiency of traffic along Foothill Boulevard. 4. Minimize vehicular through traffic on adjacent residential streets. 5. Encourage the use of local transit programs (shuttle bus) whenever possible. Policies 1. Provide pedestrian-oriented amenities and circulation features within key activity nodes by providing incentives to private developmen.t for pedestrian improvements. 2. Reduce inter-site vehicular trips onto Foothill Boulevard by requiring private developments to secure Reciprocal Access Agreements prior to development. 3. Provide for transit facilities alor~g Foothill Boulevard at convenient pedestrian locations. 4. Allow shared perking and access to facilitate efficient parcel usage and to minimize traffic support facilities such as drives, parking speces, etc. 5. Discourage new commercial and residential developments from taking any access from local residential streets by developing internal circulation systems which direct traffic away from surrounding residential neighborhoods. 6. Designate selected residential streets within the planning area as local streets where conditions promote pedestrian movements over those of the automobile. 7. Promote the installation of a raised median within Foothill Boulevard in order to ensure efficient and safe future traffic operations along Foothill Boulevard. 8. Promote the realignment of San Bernardino Road and Red Hill Country Club Drive in order to improve traffic operations and sight distance. 9. Promote the extension of Estacia Street, west of Klusman Avenue, in order to redirect traffic from San Bernardino Road to Foothill Boulevard. 10. Discourage the future use of frontage roads along Foothill Boulevard. 11. Promote existing City access policies as adopted by the Planning Commission for parcels located within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. 12. Establish intersection geometric standards which provide for acceptable levels of traffic operations. 13. Promote the development of Malachite Avenue/Foothill Boulevard as a complete 4-way intersection serving properties north of Foothill Boulevard between Hellman and Klusman Avenues. 17.32-4 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 142 Section 17.32.010 Environmental Goat: Maintain the highest possible quality of environment within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor by balancing the impacts of development with environmental concerns. Obiectives Precisely locate that portion of the Red Hill Fault which lies within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and establish land use restrictions for areas adjacent to the fault. Establish regulations which preserve significant environmental features, such as mature trees and windrows, within the Foothill BoulevarO Corridor. Policies Limit development within the 100-year flood areas as shown on the latest Federal Emergenc7 Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) or provide ~ protection measures in accordance with the City's Flood Ordinance as approved by the City Engineer. Appropriate drainage facilities shall be provided for specific developments as approved by the City Engineer. 3. Precisely map that portion of the Red Hill Fault which traverses the planning area. Based upon projected traffic volumes, map future noise contours, and establish land use restrictions and/or noise attenuation conditions for areas within noise impacted areas. Require mapping of all significant on-site environmental features which are worthy or preservation. For development within the Red Hill Fault area, require a detailed geotechnical study prior to project approval to determine the location, if present, of the fault, and any other limitations presented by geotechnical conditions. Through the project approval process, and the imposition of conditions or mitigation measures, ensure that all development within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor will not result in a decrease in environmental quality and will, wherever possible, create a higher quality environment. 8. Require the enforcement of the existing City Tree Preservation Ordinance. Encourage developments, within the area impacted by noise, to provide sufficient noise attenuation to maintain acceptable exterior and interior CNEL noise levels as defined by Section 17.02.120 - Noise Abatement. Infrastructure Goal: Provide a high level of public services and facilities to all residents and businesses along Foothill Boulevard. Policies Require that all public services and facilities are available or that other financial arrangements have been instituted prior to the issuance of building permits. 17.32-5 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ,~aage ,143~ ncno ~ucarnonga Development Code Section 17.32.010 Develop an implementation program for the improvement, phasing, and financing of infrastructure within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Monitor the utilization of public infrastructure systems and program improvements to ensure capacity for future planned development. Cultural and Histodoal Goal: Identify and preserve all cultural and historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, Objectives Make cultural and historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corddor known and accessible to the general public. Preserve and enhance existing cultural and historical resources and establish new land uses compatible with, and complementary to, these resources. Policies Encourage the development of superior design which, in time, will add to the City's architecturally significant/historic resources. 2. Establish land uses which complement existing cultural and historical features. 3. Establish a signage system to direct the general public to cultural and historical features. Develop a public information program to aid in the public awareness of cultural and historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Prior to project approval or the issuance of building permits, ensure that all existing cultural or historical resources worthy of preservation have been retained, salvaged, relocated, or otherwise protected from destruction. Cooperate with local historical societies and representatives of qualified archaeological organizations in the identification and management of identified and potentially historic resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Require new projects to incorporate existing cultural and historical structures/facilities into their designs. 17.32-6 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 144 Section 17.32.020 Section 17.32.020- Foothill Boulevard Districts The Foothill Boulevard Districts are based upon the concept of dividing the corridor into four major subareas, all of which should be punctuated by higher intensity urban activity centers. Subareas were determined by various environmental features such as: topography, recent development patterns, architecture, blight, physical form, and circulation routes (Section 17.32.080 - Subarea Development Standards). The activity centers are designed as neighborhood/subama focal points. For example Bear Gulch Village, which already contains a variety of quality sit-down restaurant uses, provides an overriding "restaurant row" theme which is unique to its subarea. Other subareas within the corridor also contain concentrations of unique land uses which foster the potential to create and strengthen higher intensity activity centers. Specific land uses w/thin the corridor also contribute to the diversity of Foothill Boulevard. The cordder contains a variety of land uses ranging from higher intensity, commercial-oriented uses (such as convenience, specialty, and regional related commercial designations) to residential uses. Other land uses include office, light industrial, and public-oriented uses. Related to these land uses are their accompanying Subarea Development Standards (Section 17.32.080) which provide the necessary setbacks and landscaping to buffer the adjacent properties. The Foothill Boulevard Districts have been created for implementation of the Goals, Objectives, and Land Use Elements of the General Plan. Commercial. The Foothill Boulevard Corridor contains a variety of commercial facilities which are designed to promote diverse and unique shopping environments. The corridor contains a wide assemblage of commercial land use categories which range from tourist-oriented specialty uses to regional associated commercial uses. In general, the commercial land uses range in size and character, based upon their respective relationship to location, type, and intensity of use. Commercial land use categories include: Soecialtv Commercial (FB/SC). Specialty Commercial land use districts are designed to accommodate specialty uses, which promote a special landmark quality or create a special ambience, which is unique to a particular subarea. For example, specialty uses such as farmers markets, cafes, bakeries, gift shops, and other specialty theme-oriented uses located adjacent to the Thomas Brothers Winery, complement the existing winery structure and provide a unifying theme. Other specialty uses, such as the establishment of tourist-oriented specialty uses (sit-down restaurants and specialty shops), lend support to the establishment of a theme-oriented activity center which caters to visitors. Other specialty commercial activity centers include the Archibald Avenue and Vineyard Avenue intersections, all of which include uses designed to enhance the character of these respective subareas. A limited number of office uses have been included into the specialty commercial category in order to facilitate an interactive office/commercial environment. Community Commercial (FB/CC). This land use district includes a wide variety of uses which typically include drug stores, supermarkets, apparel shops, variety stores, and commercial recreation uses. In general, Community Commercial districts function to promote the establishment of neighborhood/district level commercial foods and services. Typically, large community commercial complexes are designed to accommodate the needs of more than one neighborhood or subarea and include one or more major tenants accompanied by a variety of multi-tenant uses. Smaller, stand alone community 17.32-7 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 145 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.020 commercial facilities are also permitted within various CC districts, and are located on smaller existing parcels which are designed to accommodate small satellite land uses. So Re~3ional Related Commercial (FB/RRC). The Regional Related Commercial land use category is primarily designed to accommodate large, regional related commercial uses such as hotel/motel complexes, junior department stores, major appliance stores, commercial recreation uses, home improvement centers, major entertainment facilities, and other regional related commercial establishments. The intent of the Regional Related Commercial district is to cater to a veritable mix of uses which are designed to: a. Promote day- and night-time patronage; b. Complement its regional location adjacent to the I-15 Freeway Corridor; and c. Attract patrons from surrounding market areas. Residential. A variety of residential land uses are proposed within the corridor, with a predominance of these uses being located within higher intensity residential districts. Residential land uses range from Low Residential (FB/LR) districts, accommodating 2-4 dwelling units per acre, to Medium.High Residential (FB/IVlHR) districts, encompassing 14-24 dwelling units per acre. The residential land use districts within the corridor are designed to provide a population/trade base for adjacent Commercial Activity Centers; provide unique and distinct urban-oriented residential environments; provide a variety of residential densities and housing product types; promote a mixed-use development concept in specified locations which integrates urban-oriented residential uses with commercial/office functions; and promote residential districts which are compatible with existing adjacent, residential neighborhoods. Low Residential (FB/I.R}. Low Residential land uses are characterized by a density of 2-4 dwelling units per acre of land and consist of residential product types which include single family detached residential structures. Low-Medium Residential {FB/LMR). Low-Medium Residential land uses are typically characterized by residential product types which include patio homes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplex units. This land use district, located near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue, is intended to provide higher intensity residential uses designed to complement the Haven Avenue setting. Low-Medium Residential uses will be designed to remain compatible with existing, surrounding single family residential land uses. Typically, Low-Medium Residential land uses are characterized by a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre. 17.32-8 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 146 Section 17.32.020 Medium Residential (FB/MR). Medium Residential Districts are designed to accommodate product types which are characterized by a density of 8-14 dwelling units per acre. In general, Medium Residential uses are associated with attached townhome units with enclosed garages coupled with common recreational amenities. Medium-High Residential {FB/MHR). Medium-High Residential Districts consist of densities which range between 14-24 dwelling units per acre. Medium-High Residential products are typically associated with attached apartments and condominium projects which are designed to exhibit urban qualifies including reduced building setbacks, hardscape elements, and common open space amenities. Office. There are three types of office land use categories located within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor designed to provide varying levels ol office-related services. These three Office land use distrft:~ include: Office, C~i~,,w.x,~ai/Otfice, and Mixed Use. Office (FB/O) land use district is intended to accommodate professional/administrative office and personnel services as opposed to other commercial-oriented land uses. Typically, uses consist of executive, management, administrative, or clerical uses including the establishment of branch offices, data processing canters, and the provision of consultation establishments of a professional nature. Commemlal/Office {FB/CO) land uses consist of activities which cater to business support and personal services. Uses typically include medical and health care clinics, travel agencies, insurance agencies, copy centers, and other similar land uses. Mixed Use ¢FB/MU) activities consist primarily of a mix of Medium Residential uses, coupled with the establishment of convenience-oriented sales and services. Typically, uses include Medium Residential land uses of 8-14 units per acre and neighborhood-oriented community commercial uses such as retaii sales from the premises of frequently needed personal items (i.e., dry cleaning establishments, specialty markets, video rental outlets, cafes, sit-down restaurants, book/magazine stores, hair stylists, etc.). Each Mixed-Use/Retail site shall provide a master plan illustrating land use, site planning, circulation, access, and overall architectural and landscape architectural design concepts (see Section 17.32.030 - Use Regulations). Industrial {FB/LI). In general, the Industrial land use district is characterized by Light Industrial (LI) land uses which typically include light manufacturing, custom manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, and wholesaling coupled with limited office/administrative functions. Utility (FB/U). Quasi-public land uses are typically associated with public activities. Quasi- public land uses typically consist of civic functions such a public administrative offices, museums, libraries, and meeting halls/neighborhood centers. Quasi-public activities are also associated with public utility administrative offices and tunctions. Public {FB/P). Public land uses are typically associated with public transportation facilities and rights of way. 17.32-9 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ,~aage,147.-, ncno t~ucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.030 - Use Regulations Section 17.32.030 Uses listed in Table 17.32.030-A shall be allowable in one or more of the Foothill Boulevard Districts as indicated in the columns beneath each district subarea. Where indicated with the letter "P," the use shall be a permitted use in that district. Where indicated with the letter "C," the use shall be a conditionally permitted use subject to the Conditional Use Permit process. In the event there is difficulty in categorizing a given use in one of the districts, the procedure outlined in Section 17.02.040 shall be followed. ko Permitted Uses. Permitted uses are those land uses allowed in a given subarea subject to the development regulations of the Development Code. ConditionalIv Permitted Uses. Conditionally permitted uses, because of their unusual site development requirements or unique operating characteristics, are subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission or City Planner. Projects requiring a Conditional Use Permit shall be required to comply with the regulations of Section 17.04.030. In addition to the public hearing and notification requirements of Section 17.02.110, additional notification of all property owners within the Foothill Boulevard subarea in which the property under review is located is required.

C. Land Use Definitions Soecialtv Retail. This use is typified as small shops and boutiques which specialize in limited product lines of unique and novel designs and/or purposes. Specialty Retail is defined as follows: 17.32-15 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Jaae153 a~cho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.030 Any retail business not listed separately in Sections 17.32.080.A through D, which limits its sales to product lines of singular purpose or of unique and special design (i.e., cutlery shops, small household or personal appliances, kitchenware, novelty gifts, etc.). Service businesses are not a specialty retail use. Limited to a business area of 3,000 square feet totally within an enclosed building. The office and administrative use is ancillary to the specialty retail uses and should not exceed 50 percent of the gross floor area in any integrated Specialty Commercial Center or a master planned development. Through the Conditional Use Permit process, the percentage of gross floor area for office and administrative uses may exceed 50 percent, subject to the Commission's findings that the development meets the intent of Specialty Retail, is a benefit to the community, and furthers the goals of this Chapter. Mixed Use Public Storage. Activities include the rental or lease of small-scale, enclosed storage units or parking spaces when in combination with retail or office uses. Uses typically include self-storage facilities with caretaker's residence and recreational vehicle storage. Storage shall be set back a minimum of 100 feet from Foothill Boulevard and screened from view. It does not include automotive fleet storage, rental car lots, or overnight storage of service vehicles. Restaurants with Entertainment and/or Sewing of Alcoholic Beverages. This use is typified as a full-service dining facility with major portions of the floor area and business operations being devoted to the on-site preparation and consumption of food. Entertainment activities should be limited to ancillary support functions which shall form a minor part of the floor area and business operation. The serving of alcoholic beverages shall be in conjunction with restaurant usage and the availability of full listed menu items. The sale and serving of alcoholic beverages shall cease when such menu items are not available to customers. Master Plans. The intent of a master plan is to provide for integrated development at the earliest possible time in the review process. Through the master plan, there is an opportunity to coordinate the efforts of single or multiple property owners and discourage piecemeal strip commercial development. The following criteria is intended to apply to all projects and should not be constrained to parcel lines or site boundaries: A conceptual master plan may be required by the City Planner when it is evident that piecemeal development will prevent or produce future development of adjacent properties in a manner not consistent with the intent of this Chapter. A conceptual master plan shall be submitted for Planning Commission approval, together with any development proposals, and shall address all other parcels as they relate to the master plan. A conceptual master plan shall contain, as a minimum, the requirements as set forth in Development Code Section 17.20.030. Non-Conformin(~ Uses and Structures. This section is intended to provide flexibility in the regulation of existing non-conforming uses and structures by establishing alternative standards for the improvement of such uses and structures within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. In addition, this section is intended to control the number and extent of non-conforming structures by prohibiting their being moved, altered, or enlarged in a manner that would be detrimental to the goals and objectives of this Chapter. All provisions of Section 17.02.130 for Non- 17.32-16 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 154 Sections 17.32.030 - 17.32.050 Conforming Uses and Structures shall apply to development within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor except as provided in this Section. 1. Alterations and Additions to Non-Conforminu Uses: Existing non-conforming uses may be expanded with approval of a Conditional Use Permit up to 50 percent of the size, but not to exceed 5,000 square feet, of the use when the use became non-conforming. The Planning Commission must find that such expansion is not detrimental to the goals and objectives of this Chapter in addition to the findings required in Section 17.02.130. Expansion of existing non-conforming uses must be accompanied by improvement of existing non-conforming features (parking, landscaping, etc.) which significantly decreases the degree of m3n-¢m~don~ity. In addition, facade upgrading in compliance with the design concepts of this Chapter is required as part of any use expansion. Alteratioas and Additions to Non-Conforming Structures. Existing non-conforming structures may be altered or reconstructed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit if such alteration and reconstruction is found to promote the design policies of this Chapter or the historic goals and objectives of the City. Existing non-conforming setbacks and building heights may be retained or unmodified as part of the conversions through design review approval. Structures declared by the City to be of histodc significance may be remodeled under the provisions of the State Historical Building Code. Section 17.32,040 - Performance Standards The conduct and operation of all uses in the Foothill Boulevard Districts shall comply with the minimum standards of performance set forth in Section 17.08.080 for residential uses or Section 17.10.050 for all office and commercial uses. Section 17.32.050- General Design Guidelines This section establishes parameters within which the community character for the entire Foothill Boulevard Corridor can be created. To do so, a number of issues and design concepts have been previously explored. However, at the core of all discussion and investigation has been the attempt to define community character in an accurate, comprehensive, and pragmatic manner. The Community Design Guidelines are primarily focused on the creation of aesthetic character. The purpose is to create a visual environment that evokes a distinctive and unifying image which is unique to Rancho Cucamonga. To accomplish this task, the Foothill Boulevard Corridor must first distinguish itself from other major thoroughfares in nearby communities and, second, it must serve as a visually unifying concourse that links the entire community of Rancho Cucamonga. Lastly, it is important to have a design statement for the Foothill Boulevard Corddor with each contributing community design element skillfully orchestrated to promote a contiguous, cohesive, community design image. The provisions of this section shall apply to all Foothill Boulevard Districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any Foothill Boulevard District is subject to Development/Design Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. The Community Design Guidelines consist of the following components: (A) Image Enhancement Features, (B) Community Design Vocabulary, (C) Existing Community Design Features Along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, and (D) Overall Community Design Concepts. More specific urban design guidelines are incorporated in the Subarea Development Standards, Section 17.32.080, which describes the overall area-wide design concepts and guidelines. In addition, the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement, Section 17.32.060, extends the design concepts of the Foothill Boulevard Design 17.32-17 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ~,aag e ,155.. ncno t. ucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 Theme through portions of the Terra Vista and Victoria Community Plans and the Industrial Districts. Image Enhancement Features. Community image is related to the way people experience the City -- driving through it, observing its natural qualities and the character of it's buildings, walking through commercial areas, and visiting specific destinations. The best communities have the following memorable image enhancement features: A clear sense of arrival through a distinct change in landscape, hardscape, built areas, or special entrance monumentation features. A civic, commercial, or cultural public urban open space, which defines the activities, history, commerce, or naturaVmanmade features which the community as a whole values. Typical public urban open spaces consist of plazas, courtyards, urban paseos, market streets, historic landmarks, and public parks. A clear organization of streets, identifiable districts, and landmarks which gives people a sense of direction and orientation. The extent of confusion in traffic circulation, and the amount of congestion increasingly figures in people's perceptions of cities. A sense of uniqueness. This quality can be derived from a single feature, a district-wide theme reflecting ethnic or historical themes, or an event which is staged in a special place each year. 4. A sense of place in a shared past which gives people a sense of belonging. Community Design Vocabulary. In an effort to provide a unique community image for the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, a variety of existing or proposed image enhancement elements will be provided or enhanced and designed to increase corridor identity. Vocabulary of these image giving elements include the following: Activity Centers. Activity Centers are points of intersection at major streets or landmarks along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. As such, they are points of concentrated activity which give identity to individual subareas. Major Activity Centers located contiguous to the Foothill Boulevard Corridor include the areas surrounding the following intersections: a. Foothill Boulevard at San Bernardino Road b. Foothill Boulevard at Vineyard Avenue c. Foothill Boulevard at Archibald Avenue d. Foothill Boulevard at Hermosa Avenue e. Foothill Boulevard at Etiwanda Avenue The injection of small doses of urbanity at these key activity centers is a suggested method for creating a more interesting, formal, and diverse impression of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. The Activity Center at Foothill Boulevard and San Bernardino Road is a more rural, informal, village design concept. Suburban Parkway Transitions. It is recognized that the Foothill Boulevard Corridor will not become a totally pedestrian-oriented environment. Therefore, the five pedestrian-oriented activity centers listed above, will be linked together by "suburban 17.32-18 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 156 Section 17.3-2.050 parkway" transition areas. These parkway transition sections will consist of informal landscaoe treatments dominated by drifts of London Planes, California Sycamore, and Purple Plum trees. Other parkway characteristics include rolling tud benms and meandering/undulating sidewalks which are designed to complement informal landscape treatments. Landmarks Specific elements of the environment that exhibit and promote an individual or unique identity inctude landmarks. Because landmarks are, by definition, unique and distinct, they are also few in number. Landmarks are typically associated with historic structures/features or prominent land forms which exhibit memorable qualities and project a strong identity or image. Landmarks located contiguous to the Foothill Boulevard Corridor include: b. The Oso Bear Monument c. The remnants of the Cucamonga China Town d. The Thomas Brothers Winery e. .The Virginia Dare Winery f. The first U.S. Post Office site in Cucamonga g. John and George Klusman Houses h. Mitchell House i. Mandala House j. Bell House k. Guidera House I. Sacred Heart Church m. Aggazzotti Winery Sections of San Bemardino Road located east of the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge and north of Foothill Boulevard Gateways. Gateway elements are typically associated with prominent landforms, landscape features, structures, or entrance monumentation signs designed to announce entrance into a community or special districts. Currently, these gateway features are nonexistent within the planning area, which contribute to an overall lack of corridor definition or identity. Gateways are proposed for the intersections of Foothill Boulevard/Grove Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard/East Avenue. 17.32-19 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ae157__ a~cho Cucamonga Development Code Section ] 7.32.050 ENTRY ' ,.cLuoE SPEC,A..A.OSCAPE ^.o L^.o cAPE REQU,RE E.T IN PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AS' WELL.

View opportunities are found within every subarea and range from expansive vistas of distant mountains, to tightly framed views of landmarks, prominent natural landforms, or other special features located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard. The critical requirement is that view opportunities be recognized and enhanced and that all proposed developments be designed to preserve and protect the desired view. C. Key Existing Community Features. In an effort to promote community design within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, a variety of existing community design features have been identified. It is the intent of the community design plan to identify these elements so that they may be preserved or enhanced. The following key community features are significant structures and are worthy of preservation/restoration and should be incorporated into any future development proposals for their respective sites. Key community design features related to the Foothill Boulevard are described below. Thomas Brothers and Virainia Dare Wineries. These wineries are one of the major theme-setting community character elements for the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. All streetscape/landscape and architectural components shall be sensitive to and compatible with the overall winery theme of Rancho Cucamonga. Key visual elements, such as grape arbors and trellis elements, shall be consistently repeated along the corridor. Architectural variations which fully reflect the heritage of Rancho Cucamonga shall be encouraged. The Thomas Brothers Winery, first established in 1839, is among the oldest in the state. The building reflects early California/Spanish architectural influences, characterized by such elements as stucco walls, board and batten siding, gable roofs, Spanish clay roof tiles, heavy weathered wood doors and entrance gates, and a vine covered grape arbor that extends the entire length of the west and south building elevations. 17.32-2O 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 158 Section 17.32.050 Typical Winery Barn Gable Barn with Hip Shed Roof Foothill Boulevard/Archibald Avenue Intersection. This intersection is located at the center of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and holds potential for establishing a major, urban-oriented, activity center. Development surrounding this intersection will promote pedestrian-oriented retail services designed to serve the specialty needs of the community. Major redevelopment on all comers, excluding the center on the northwest comer, will promote active commercial uses within a pedestrian-dominated context. The opportunity of establishing a "commons' or public urban open space should be explored and it should be designed to reinforce and promote pedestrian usage by integrating such features as: a. A 25-foot urban setback. b. Pedestrian level architecture stepped to upper levels. c. Formal landscape arrangement. d. Urban streetscape vocabulary. e. Major urban design statement along Foothill Boulevard. f. Public plaza space. 17.32-21 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 159 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD - ARCHIBALD AVENUE INTERSECTION Svcamore Inn. The Sycamore Inn Activity Center is dominated by a quality sit-down restaurant and complemented by a small specialty-oriented restaurant and the original Red Chief Motel. Originally established in the 1880s this large, two-story structure was constructed as an inn/stage stop in the community known as Bear Gulch. The architecture is characterized by chateau and craftsman details. The building is sheathed in vertical wood siding and has a moderately pitched gable roof with a native stone chimney. The building and site are enhanced by the presence of numerous mature California Sycamore trees. Magic Lamp Restaurant. The Magic Lamp Restaurant is located in an eclectic building which is characterized by bdck walls and a unique clay-tiled hip roof. The roof of the. structure is composed of a variety of roof tiles stacked in such a fashion as to provide a rich, textured effect. The restaurant lies within the Bear Gulch Activity Area. Eucalyptus Windrows. The remnants of a windrow are found on either side of Foothill Boulevard, east of the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge crossing which traverses Foothill Boulevard. The trees are mature and appear healthy; although they are not maintained and set a distinctive open space character along Foothill Boulevard. Notable Structures. The following community features are notable structures and, at the property owners option, can be incorporated into a future development proposal. Any such proposal must be required to upgrade these structures to current City Development Standards (i.e., building and safety, land use circulation/access, and landscaping) or may be relocated off-site. Old Route 66 Gas Station (9670). This former gas station, located near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue, is comprised of two separate buildings which include an office, gas pump canopy, and a separate garage building. The architecture is characterized by the use of white stucco parapet walls with small roof caps and Spanish roof tiles. 17.32-22 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code b. Ordinance No. 604 Page 160 ~ .:., :?!:: Section I7.32.050 San Bernardino Road/Fo0th:iii':' Boulevard {8291). This unusual building shows signs of streamline/art deco architecture. The building is characterized by two streamline overhead drive-under canopies that appear symmetrical and is also characterized by metal elevation panels, a flat roof, and a large sign column which is integrated into the building facade. Former Mountain View School (9113). This residence, once utilized as a private children's school, is representative of a California bungalow with Queen Anne details. Details include wood siding, gable door, multi-light windows, and siding faces. Klusrnan House (8841) - Southwest Comer of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. This former residence is a two-story structure and of Spanish Colonial Revival style. It is cham¢~l~d by Iow-i:Hlch hipped roof with red tile in an irregular pattern, polygona!~, narrow long windows, 'S" shaped molding, and multi-pane windows. Archibald House - Southwest Comer of Archibald Avenue and Estacia Court. This residence appears very old with Victorian era overtones. The cottage is characterized by a steeply-pitched hip and gable roof, arches, gable details, porch arches, and large multi-light windows. fo Foothill Boulevard House.

Brackets Gable 'End Rafter Taile Porch 17.32-23 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 161 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 Overall Community Desiqn Conceot. The overall Community Design Concept is comprised of a hierarchy of urban design components which range from the development of large subareas, to specifically located district activity canters. The intent of the Community Design Concept is to provide a broad-brushed overview of general design components which ultimately lead to the development of specific design guidelines. The overall Community Design Concept consists of subarea structure, activity centers, suburban parkways, overall architectural concept, and overall landscape architectural concept Subarea Structure. In an attempt to provide individual district identity, the Foothill Boulevard Corridor has been segmented into four distinct subareas. Each subarea contains an activity center or focal point, such as a concentration of urban-oriented specialty uses, which is intended to increase the 'imageability" of each individual subarea. These separate subarea idantitlee will promote a sense of place for the residents and visitors to the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and will ultimately enhance property values. Activity Centers. Each subarea within the planning area is punctuated by an urban-oriented activity center. Typically located at major intersections, these activity centers function to provide a district level focal point which ultimately increases district level density. The activity centers will be composed of urban-oriented specialty commercial uses, designed in such a manner as to aocommodate pedestrian-oriented activities. Individual structures and large commercial shopping centers will be designed in such a manner as to promote an urban-oriented "Rancho Winery Revival" theme complemented by higher intensity built forms. Activity Center/Intersection Concept. All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage as much as practical. The 25-foot building setback areas will have enriched pedestrian zones with special hardscape materials, formal landscape arrangements (see illustrative sketch), and pedestrian-level lighting. Other streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks, and street furniture should assume a decidedly village-oriented theme of earth-tone colors and warm materials such as stained wood, river rock, black wrought iron, and textured stucco. Two activity centers exhibit some slight modifications to the concept described above. Bear Gulch Village Activity Center will exhibit a less formal, more natural setting while the Etiwanda Activity Center will be similar in appearance to the Foothill BoulevardNineyard Avenue intersection. The concept will be less pedestrian, meaning less hardscape materials, plazas, and furniture and more turf, landscaping, and berms. The concept within the activity center area is to incorporate a formal, regularly spaced street tree planting system utilizing an informally shaped, colorful street tree palette. The trees are to be planted 30 feet on center and are to be placed between 2 to 5 feet inside the property line. The activity center/intersection concept urban streetscape design shall extend the full length of the design plan priority areas along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. At the cross streets, the design shall extend at least as far as the first driveway north and south of the cross streets. The extent of the urban streetscape design may be modified through the design review process in order to adjust for local public right-of-way conditions and ensure a logical alignment of similar features on opposing sides of the street. 17.32-24 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 162 Section 17.32.050 Public RIohio A.

Suburban Parkwavs. Suburban parkways will be designed to link individual activity centers. The parkways will be designed with informal clusters of trees and rolling turf berms, which evoke pastoral, suburban-oriented, qualities.

In order to provide a gradual transition from urban-oriented parkways, "parkway transitions" have been introduced.within the plan. Parkway transitions are designed to transition formal hardscape elements found within the urban activity zone into informal landscape statements which incorporate rolling turf berms, meandering/undulating sidewalks; and informal tree plantings. Specifically, the parkway transition is characterized by a 75-foot transition zone, dominated by Flowering Plum accent trees. See sketch. Private Davalopmenl PARKWAY TRANSITION 6. Circulation System Concepts. ao Center Median Islands. In order to preserve the level of service on Foothill Boulevard, access to commercial properties should be via the median breaks at signalized intersections, with off-street, internal circulation to be provided to serve the properties between intersections. It will also be necessary to accept an increased number of U-turns at the remaining intersections to reduce the greater friction caused by more frequent median openings. Any median break on a street with such high volume must be signalized for safety; and when signals are placed less than approximately 700 feet apart, the speed at which progressive traffic movement can be obtained falls below an acceptable level. East-west arterials in the City will have to be capable of two-way, progressive traffic service for a large part of the day. For these reasons, no median break has been planned, for example, at Red Hill Country Club Drive, San Diego Avenue, or Klusman Avenue. Klusman Avenue is only.520 feet from Malachite Avenue, an important future intersection, and is at a questionable distance of 670 feet from Archibald Avenue. The necessary left-turn 17.32-28 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 192 Section I 7.32.050 lanes for median breaks eliminate median planting and, when such breaks are dose together, reduce the aesthetic value of the median and its visibility. This creates the possibility of traffic from driveways attempting to make left turns, not realizing a median exists. Prio~ to the construction of a median island across the intersection of Klusman Avenue, a preemptive traffic control system approved by the City Engineer and the Fire District shall be provided at the intersections of Archibald Avenue and San Bernardino Road/Foothill Boulevard to' facilitate emergency access to eastbound Foothill Boulevard. Alternate median breaks and emergency' access across the medians may be considered subject to review and approval of a detailed traffic safety analysis by the City Engineer. The following Median Location Maps depict the Center Median Program f~ the fou~ subareas. A 14-foot center median shall be provided within Foothill Boulevard and designed to provide access control and a unifying landscaps statement. The median will feature accent tree planting (Crape Myrtles) at the median nose areas, underplanted with a low evergreen ground cover. The major evergreen tree (Rhus Lancea) will be underplanted with shrubs. See the median design island concepts on Page 17.32-35. Access Control Pro(]ram. Businesses contiguous to Foothill Boulevard currently realize no access restrictions. In addition, existing fragmented parcel configurations promote a multitude of conflicting access points which disrupt traffic flow by causing increased side friction. A recommended program of access controls, consistent with current city access policies, regulating access points, driveway cuts, and their location from one another, including the provision of reciprocal access agreements, and special vehicular access controls, (such as right-in, and right-out islands) is necessary' because of the following: (1) Increased vehicular traffic capacity; (2) Increased perception of safety; (3) Reduced vehicular traffic conflict points; and (4) Reduced vehicle/pedestrian conflict points. 17.32-29 6/99 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD FoolSill Blvd. MEDIAN LOCATION MAP ~,_..~~_ Z o San Bernardino Road FOOTHILL BOULEVARD 0 .~e.o MEDIAN LOCATION MAP FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN MEOWI(:X~#NG ACCESS K)INTS Foolh~11 / , I · i FOOTHILL BOULEVARD ME_DIAN LOCATION MAP CIRCULATION CONCEPT Ordinance No. 604 Page 197 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 PATHVVAY MEDIAN ACCENT TREES (CRAPE MYRTLE) TRIANGULAR SPACING AT 15' O.C. / /---- r CURB W/lr CONCRETE PAVER PARKWAY/MEDIAN ACCENT EQ. ; EQ. ~1~ MID ~K ~ 14' MEDIAN ISLAND DESIGN CONCEPTS 17.32-34 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 198 Section 17.32.050 Red Hill Country Club Drive Realianment. The existing skewed-angle intersection of Red Hill Country Club Ddve and Foothill Boulevard is in close proximity to an existing traffic signal at Grove Avenue. The combination of this close intersection spacing and skewed alignment creates operational difficulties with the traffic flow on FoolSill Boulevard. A feasible realignment has been determined by an in-depth traffic engineering study. The proposed plan is to malign Red Hill Country Club Drive to approximately 400 feet east of its present intersection at Foothill Boulevard, provide a median break, and install a two-phase traffic signal (no left turn arrows). The recommended alignment is shown on this page. RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT 17.32-35 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 a~ge,199._, ncno c. ucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 San Bernardino Road Aliqnment. San Bernardino Road currently merges with Foothill Boulevard at an acute angle which promotes vehicular conflicts with autos traveling east bound along Foothill Boulevard. In an effort to remedy this situation, San Bernardino Road will be realigned in order to form a "T" intersection with Foothill Boulevard. The "T" intersection will be aligned with the Sycamore Inn entrance driveway and traffic signal. =:3 17.32-36 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 200 Section 17.32.050 Heliman Avenue-Klusman Avenue Block Circulation Master Plan. A circulation master plan, in conjunction with a detailed traffic/circulation analysis, shall be developed with any future development proposals for the entire block in order to determine the following issues: Access to San Bernardino Road. It is the intent of this Specific Plan to discourage direct access and through non-residential traffic from Foothill Boulevard or on site to San Bernardino Road. The ultimate circulation master plan must show the necessity for access to San Bernardino Road and the ultimate on-site circulation configuration and improvements. (2) Access Points. The arrows depicting access points are shown in order to limit access onto Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue and are located at points opposite ex'mling roadways or future traffic signals. (3) Interior Circulation. A suggested interior circulation pattern is illustrated by dashed lines. It is not the intent to require public streets, but rather to show a conceptual alignment which may be in the form of private drives/aisles and streets. 17.32-37 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 201 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 Architectural Concoct. The overall architectural concept is characterized by architectural elements which complement Rancho Cucamonga's heritage. A diversity of architectural styles are allowed within the corridor, rather than one specific style, in an effort to promote a richness of architectural character. While no specific architectural theme is required, "Rancho Cucamonga Heritage" architectural styles such as California barn, winery, mission, and agricultural character are encouraged. a. These design elements for all buildings within the study area are encouraged: (1) Richness of surface and texture; (2) Equal void-to-solid building wall ratios; (3) Multi-planed, pitched roofs; (4) Vegetation integrated with building walls; (5) Roof overhangs; (6) Plazas; .(7) Regular or traditional window rhythms; (8) Arched windows and doorways; (9) Subtle warm earthen tones or pale pastels;* (10) White and off-white;* and (11) Bright color trims.* * These color ranges are examples and are only encouraged to be utilized. - · Expoe~cl Rafter Tnile Multi Pinned HIp Roof Tower Focal Accent Grape Arbor 17.32-38 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code b.

The Landscape Concept for the Foothill Boulevard Corridor proposes the use of a specific palette of trees in designated areas to reinforce both urban and suburban architectural features. The activity centers will distinguish from suburban parkway areas to the use of formal, urban-oriented tree plantings except as noted in Bear Gulch. These formal tree plantings will border all activity centers and will define these areas as being higher-intensity, urban-oriented districts. Informal plantings will provide a casual backdrop to suburban parkway areas which lie between activity 17.32-40 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 204 Section 17.32.050 nodes (see graphic). The informal plantings will be located between activity centers in order to relate to these tower-intensity suburban transition areas. In addition, the overall landscape concept shall incorporate a mixture of landscape and hardscape features using native materials All sign casements, poles, street furniture, light standards, and similar hardware within 10 feet of the public right-of-way, shall be painted a color chosen as the Foothill Boulevard Corridor Theme Color; sign faces may vary and match the related architecture. Establish a colorful landscape edge at the base of buildings and avoid asphalt edges at the base of structures as much as possible. Plant materials located in containers are appropriate. Landscaping should result in a low profile image, i.e., use of blade grass lawn areas, (i.e., including water conservation practices/methods and drought tolerant plant materials) canopy trees in parking areas, use of hedges, and low walls to screen service areas. Internal pedestrian systems, linking office complexes with neighboring commercial or office developments, should be located close to buildings and be partially covered. Add large (15-gallon to 24-inch box) canopy trees to existing landscapes consistent with City standards. On-site plant masses should assume a non-uniform arrangement. The diversity of messing types should be great enough to provide interest, but kept to a level which evokes a relaxed, natural feeling. Water conserving irrigation systems and landscape materials shall be used in all public and private landscaping. 2. Site Plan Desi(3n. Existin(3 Site Conditions. Existing site conditions such as mature vegetation, slopes, drainage courses, rock outcroppings, and views should all be considered as possibilities for inclusion in the project. Use of valuable existing site elements will assist in formulating a focused design theme. Buildin(3 Orientation. Placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses and buildings. The setback from streets and adjacent properties is directly proportionate to the scale of the proposed building and those around it. Larger buildings will require more setback area for a balance of scale and for the protection of solar access to the proposed building and adjacent sites. Lastly, placement of the building should provide the most aesthetic public views. (1) Orient/screen all auto-related facilities (i.e., working bays, storage, etc.) from public view. (2) Buildings shall orient their public entrances toward Foothill Boulevard as much as possible. 17.32 -41 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 205 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 Access/Circulation. The access and circulation of a development should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system, both on and off the site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City's access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points of access shall not conflict with other planned or existing access points. Pedestrian walkways shall connect every buildingwith public sidewalks.

Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, lights and glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound walls, general location, use of well-designed lights, and landscaping throughout the parking lot. Utilize the concept of 'tuck under" parking where it is not visible from Foothill Boulevard or from any other side street. (1) Whenever possible, locate site entries on side streets in order to minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. When this is not possible, design the Foothill Boulevard site entry with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers to differentiate it from sidewalks. (2) Parking acces~ points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, should be located as far as possible from street intersections. (3) Design parking areas so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving cars. Minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles. 17.32-42 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 206 Section 17.32.050 (4) Driveways and parking areas should be separated from adjacent sidewalks or landscaped areas by a curb not less than 4 inches high. (5) All parking spaces shall be clearly outlined on the surface of the parking facility. (6) In activity center locations, locate parking areas to the rear of the buildings. (7) Link individual project parking areas with on-site driveways which are clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors. (8) New development projects shall delineate on all submittal plans where the vehicular connection to adjacent sitas are located. The applicant must also ~ p~ov~s for access easement for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with an approved master plan. (9) As a condition of approval, the applicant may be required to combine parking facilities and access to serve more than one individual project. (10) Vehicular circulation through a parking facility should be directed away from the fire lane (adjacent to the rear of the stores), to the outer edge of the parking lot where there is less pedestrian traffic. (11) Within suburban parkways, parking areas should be designed in a manner which links the building to the street sidewalk system as an extension of the pedestrian environment. This can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced paving, trellis structures,.and/or landscape treatments. Landscape/Open Space. Landscaping and open spaces should be designed as an integral part of the overall site plan design. Landscaping and open spaces should enhance the building design, enhance public views and spaces, provide buffers and transitions, provide for a balance of solar uses, and provide screening. Additionally, the landscape design should accent the overall design theme through the use of structures such as arbors or trellises, hardscape, and special paving. Bi-level landscape buffers shall be provided between different land uses designed to provide transition between high and low intensity !and uses. The first buffering "level" consists of an 8-foot high concrete block wall. The second "level" is dominated by a dense 15-foot landscape buffer. 17.32-43 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 207 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 i]~]~ ~ 45' height limit (in excess of 100' from residen~l district) BI-LEVEL BUFFER go Fencino,/Screeninq. The use of any fencing or walls should be consistent with the overall design theme. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safety purpose. Where they are needed, color, material, and variation of the vertical/horizontal plane are needed to blend with the site and building design. Liahting. On-site lights should provide a safe, functional, and aesthetic design. Enough lighting should be provided to ensure a safe environment while at the same time not cause areas of intense light or glare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design. Utilities and Ancillary EQuipment. On-site utilities and equipment shall be located in inconspicuous areas, away from public view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. Transit Improvements. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, bus pullouts, and bus pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and City Planner in consultation with the local transit provider. Activin Centers. At activity centers, place building at or adjacent to front setback line in order to create a more appealing, active streetscape. Front yard areas with parking lots dominating the street scene are specifically prohibited. 17.32-44 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 208 Section 17.32.050 Connect meandering walks to street fronting building entries Parking lot at comer is undesirable - building ~hould dominate street scene Curb adjacent walk ~es to miner plaza Endched comer plaza parking Enriched cross walk paving BUILDING LOCATION Suburban Parkwavs. Along suburban parkways, it is encouraged to place buildings on the 45-foot front setback line and avoid large sections of parking lot frontages at the setback line. 10. Buildina Desiqn Desiqn Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established for each building. That theme shall be one which creates a harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line, as it relates to surrounding planned or existing development. Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall design of the immediate area. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant; but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high-quality and harmonious community appearance. Design buildings to be visually connected in order to eliminate a strip commercial appearance. Scale. The mass and scale of the building needs to be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations, and surrounding developments. No matter what the scale of a building, setbacks and overall height should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multi-story buildings should be set back toward the center of the site or be designed in a stepped style. 17.32-45 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 209 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 Materials and Colors. Colors, texts. res, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. They should blend well with the environment and not cause abrupt changes. Visibility. In situations where buildings are highly visible from side streets and/or adjacent parking areas, blank walls shall be prohibited and special emphasis placed on creating architectural interest. So Siqninq. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement and scale, in relationship with building and readability, shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. (1) A sign should express an easy to read, direct message -- keep it simple. Brand names of merchandise shall not be displayed. (2) A storefront should not have more than two signs -- one primary and one secondary. The secondary sign shall be pedestrian in scale and not visible from motorists on Foothill Boulevard. (3) Signs may identify only the firm name or major enterprise on the premises on which the sign is located. Material and product advertising shall not be permitted except as primary identification of an establishment. Additional identifying logos of products may be incorporated within the signing but are considered part of the overall allowed sign area. (4) Temporary signs are regulated by the City of Rancho Cucamonga Sign Ordinance. (5) Pedestrian-oriented signs may be applied directly to the face of the building and may not exceed City sign area requirements. The shape of the sign can be a positive feature. (6) No signs shall extend higher than the ridgeline of the structure. (7) Window signs should not obscure the display area. The color of the letters should contrast with the display background. Light colored letters or gold- leafed letters with dark borders are effective. (8) All buildings using rear parking lots shall clearly identify their businesses with rear wall signage. All structures shall exhibit clear address information on the front facade (recommended guideline: minimum address number size shall be 6 inches for a one-story building and 10 inches for a two-story building)..For night identification, the numbers shall be internally or externally lit. Otherwise all signing shall comply with the Rancho Cucamonga Sign Ordinance. (9) Existing billboards are regulated by the Rancho Cucamonga Sign Ordinance and new billboards are prohibited by the Sign Ordinance. E(~ui~3ment Screenincl. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally 17.32-46 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 210 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 integrated in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable. Facade Articulation. In the case of multi-storied buildings, it is important that they relate to the pedestrian. All ground story facades shall be designed to relate to a pedestrian scale. This can be accomplished through breaking the facade into bays and the signage brought down in size and location. Pedestrian scale along Foothill Boulevard shall also be established through the use of pedestrian arcades and awnings which add horizontal articulation to facades. ~ ~ comer ~ ~ 2 ~xy building . terra(3e~ - retail at Signal Founlaln/~eater ...... ~'~ FACADE ARTICULATION 17.32 -47 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 211 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 The Pedestrian Experience. Architecture and outdoor space along Foothill Boulevard shall be integrally designed and orieoted toward the pedestrian experience. The experience should be visually diverse, stimulating, and include activities that create a sense of variety and excitement. (1) Site buildings to create new pedestrian spaces that complement and expand the existing pedestrian rights-of-way along Foothill Boulevard. This is accomplished by creating plazas and allowing wider sidewalks on Foothill Boulevard. (2) Site and design buildings to minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and avoid locating driveways and service areas which interfere with the flow of Foothill Boulevard pedestrian movements. (3) Site and design structures to facilitate public access across sites where important pedestrian connections occur. Mid-block passageways from rear parking lots can be created through a fully developed internal paseo system. 11. Streetscape Desiqn Details. Streetscaoe Furniture. This streetscape furniture/material palette depicts the -elements to utilize along Foothill Boulevard. All furniture that is connected to the sidewalk shall be connected with shear bolts and not have concrete or other footings, This matdx applies to all of Foothill Boulevard. It should be noted that these furniture selections are for future direction only. It is not intended to be a final selection. The City may want to select other furniture as appropriate and necessary.

It is the intent of streetscape tighting to add a consistent, planned look for Foothill Boulevard during daylight hours and evenings. Lighting can have a dramatic affect on the quality of streetscape design. All lighting fixtures in the public right-of-way shall be consistent and approved by the City Engineer following the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Materials should be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme. Luminaries, poles, and supporting hardware should also be consistent. All development areas outside the public right-of-way shall use high pressure sodium lighting. All direct light rays shall be confined to the limits of the building site. Slreetscem~ Coax Coordination. In order to aid in design continuity along the Foolhill Boulevard Corridor, significant portions of all street furniture shall be finished with a unifying color. A color shall be selected which will exhibit the same characteristics on a variety of materials (concrete, wood, metal, etc.) and provide a noticeable color element along the streetscape. Section 17.32.060 - Trip Reduction Ao A minimum of one shower facility, accessible to both men and women, shall be provided for persons walking or bicycling to work for each project which meets the following thresholds: Commercial 250,000 square feet Industrial 325,000 square feet Office 125,000 square feet Hotels and Motels 250 rooms Section 17.32.070-Foothill Boulevard Design Guidelines The portion of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and Interstate 15 was not part of the original Foothill Boulevard Study area; therefore the provisions of the original Specific Plan did not apply to development within this 'Missing Link.' Subsequently, the Foothill Boulevard Design Guidelines were prepared in order to provide specific streetscape design provisions through those portions of the Terre Vista and Victoda Planned Communities and the Industrial Districts. The Foothill Boulevard Design Guidelines, therefore, extend the concepts of the odginal Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan through the "Missing Link," thereby creating a dynamic concourse with a unifying community design image reflective of the community heritage and identity. Activin Centers: Activity Centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor defined as "Theme" or "Statement" areas which "tie" together the visual aspects of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor through the city, promote concentrated activity at these areas, and give identity and theme to the areas in which they are located. The Activity Centers are located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard as indicated in the following drawing: 17.32-49 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 RPage, 213.. ancno cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.070 ACTIVITY CENTERS Because three comers of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed, the development provisions of the Activity Center are limited to those streetscape and landscape improvements within the public right-of-way. Therefore, many of the following standards apply only to the Milliken Avenue and Rochester Avenue Activity Centers: 1. Streetscape All building 'orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The building setback areas will be enhanced pedestrian zones with special hardscape materials, formal landscape arrangements, and pedestrian-level lighting. Streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks with special paving materials, light standards, and street furniture should be uniform throughout the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. The concept within the activity center is to incorporate a formal, regularly spaced, street tree planting system utilizing a palette of informally shaped, colodul trees. do The urban or formal streetscape design characteristic of the activity center should extend along Foothill Boulevard and secondary/intersecting streets to a point of logical transition to the suburban parkway. Typically, the design will extend to at least the first driveway or as modified through the design review process. The extent of the urban streetscape should be able to adjust to changes in public right- of-way conditions such as dght turn lanes and bus bays. 2. Site Planning ao At activity centers, buildings may be placed at or adjacent to the front setback line to create a more appealing, active streetscape. Front yard areas of parking lots dominating the streetscene are specifically prohibited. Multi-story buildings shall be designed to relate to the pedestrian level. All ground story facades shall be designed to relate to the human scale. This can be accomplished through the breaking of facades into bays and the signage brought down in size and location° Further, this reduction in scale can be established through the use of elements which add horizontal articulation to the facades. 17.32-50 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Paae 214 Sections 17.3'2.070 Examples of these elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings. (Milliken & Rochester Avenues only.) Co Buildings shall be designed to eliminate a fragmented, strip commercial appearance and should be oriented to the activity center (Milliken & Rochester Avenues only). do Architecture and outdoor spaces along Foothill Boulevard shall be integrally designed and oriented toward the pedestrian experience. The experience should be visually diverse and stimulating and should include activities that create a sense of variety and interest (Milliken & Rochester Avenues only). eo Structures, pathways, and landscaping shall be incorporated within the site so as to ensure ease of access from one site to adjoining sites in a safe manner. Building entrances shall be designed to accommodate logical pedestrian access from the Foothill Boulevard right-of-way. This may include direct entrances from Foothill Boulevard, separations in the buildings that allow access to the interior plaza areas, or other appropriate methods. 3. Architectural ConcaDt Within an individual activity center, the architectural style should be consistent to provide continuity of design at the intersection. Milliken Avenue Activin Center- The development review process will establish the flavor for the area when reviewing development proposals. New developments need not "duplicate' the architectural style of previous submittals but must be compatible in terms of architecture and orientation with the other comer(s) of the intersection. Rochester Avenue Activin Center - New proposals shall consider and respect the architectural style of existing buildings. For example, the Aggn~,=,otti Winery at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue is a potential. National Historic Registry candidate. Any proposals for this Activity Center should be designed to be compatible with this structure. This does not mean that new proposals must emulate the architectural style of the winery but, rather, that they must complement existing buildings. Differentiate the ground floor facades from the second floor in recognition of the differences in the character of activities at the ground floor level. Examples include, but are not limited to, the use of storefront glass, stepped-back or tiered forms, fenestration, and other appropriate architectural features facing Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, and Rochester Avenue. Landsca13e Conca~3t: The activity centers shall be distinguished from suburban (informal) parkway areas through the use of formal, urban tree plantings. These formal plantings shall border all activity canters and shall define these areas as being higher intensity, urban districts. The plantings shall consist of an offset double row of Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) trees along each road frontage. Additional plant materials (evergreen canopy trees, palms, etc.) may be introduced to supplement the Crape Myrtle as a backdrop. The type and location of the additional materials should be based on the particular building design, scale, and setback. 17.32-51 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 P. e 1 ~tr~c~o~ ~2ucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.070 B. Suburban Parkways: 1. Streetscape. The parkways will be designed with informal clusters of trees, rolling turf berms, and meandering/undulating sidewalks evoking pastoral, suburban qualities. Streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks with special paving, light standards, and street furniture shall be identical in style and finish to those used in the Foothill Boulevard corridor. 2. Architectural Concoot: The architectural characteristics shall be governed by the existing standards of the Development Code, Terra Vista Community Plan, and Victoria Community Plan. In situations where buildings are highly visible from the side streets and/or adjacent parking areas, special emphasis shall be placed on creating architectural interest. Landscape Concept: The plantings will consist of informal treatments, dominated by London Plane (Platanus acerifolia), California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa), and Flowering Plum (Prunus cerasifera) trees. Other species may be used to accent and/or supplement these designated tree types. The type and location of these species should be reviewed in conjunction with specific development proposals. Go Parkway Transitions: In order to provide a gradual transition from the urban activity centers to the suburban, informal parkways, "parkway transitions" will be introduced along the corridor. Parkway transitions are designed to blend the formal hardscape and tree planting pattern of the activity centers with the informal landscape and hardscape treatment of the suburban parkways. Specifically, the parkway transition is characterized by a 75- to 150-foot zone, dominated by Flowering Plum trees. Other tree species may be introduced to supplement the Flowering Plum to assist in creating a smooth transition. - Please refer to the illustration shown in Section 17.32.050.D.5. D. General Guidelines: 1. Site Planninq: Buildings shall be sited to create new pedestrian spaces that complement and expand the existing pedestrian rights-of-way along Foothill Boulevard. This can be accomplished by creating plazas and allowing wider sidewalks on the boulevard. Do Buildings shall be designed and placed to minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. Driveways and service areas shall be located to avoid interfering with the flow of pedestrian circulation in and around the site. All auto related facilities (i.e. working bays, storage, etc.) shall be oriented/screened away from public view. do Buildings should be oriented to encourage restaurants, services, limited retail uses (as permitted by the applicable Community Plan or Chapter 17.30), and other high intensity pedestrian uses on the ground levels of all buildings within activity centers. 17.32-52 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Sections 2. Parking Lots: Whenever possible, entries shall be located on sid~ streets in order to minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. When this is not possible, the Foothill Boulevard site entry shall be designed with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers (behind the public right-of-way) to differentiate it from the sidewalks. Parking access points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, shall be located as far from street intersections as possible. Parking areas shall be designed so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving vehicles and minimize the need for the pedastdan to cross parking aisles. individual project parking areas shall be linked with on-site driveways which are clearly idearifled and easily recognized as connectors. New development projects shall delineate on all plans where vehicular connections to adjacent properties are located. The applicant must al~o demonstrate provisions for access easements for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with approved master plans. Parking areas shall be designed in a manner which link the building to the street sidewalk system to encourage and facilitate pedestrian movement. This can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced paving, trellis structures, and/or landscape treatments. 3. -Landscape Desian: ao All street furniture, light standards, pollards, and similar hardware within 10 feet of the public right-of-way shall be painted a color chosen as the Foothill Boulevard Corridor Theme Color. Sign faces may vary and match related architecture. A colorful landscape edge shall be established at the base of buildings. Asphalt edges at the base of structures are prohibited. Plant m~terials in containers are appropriate. Internal pedestrian circulation, linking office complexes with neighboring commercial or office developments, should be located close to buildings. do Planting clusters should assume a non-uniform arrangement. The diversity of massing types should be great enough to provide interest but kept to a level which evokes a relaxed, natural feeling to the observer. eo Water conserving plantings and irrigation should be used in all landscaped areas. (Refer to City Ordinance No. 411 -Xeriscape.) 4. Streetscape Lightina: It is the intent of streetscape lighting to add a consistent, planned look for Foothill Boulevard during day and evening hours. Lighting can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the streetscape design. bo All lighting fixtures in the public right-of-way shall be consistent along Foothill Boulevard and approved by the City Engineer following recommendations of the 17.32-53 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 ~l~ol ~.camonga Development Code Sections 17.32.070 Planning Commission. Materials shall be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme. Poles and supporting hardware shall be cons[stent with City standards. All development areas outside the public right-of-way shall use high pressure sodium lighting. All direct light rays shall be confined to the limits of the building site. E. Foothill Boulevard Circulation Imorovements Center Median Program - Based upon traffic analyses, a continuous 14-foot wide raised landscaped median shall be provided on Foothill Boulevard. The median can provide benefits necessary to accommodate increased development and traffic demand through increased vehicular capacity, increased vehicular/pedestrian safety, increased vehicular mobility, and increased vehicular level of service Median breaks shall occur only at major signalized intersections as determined by the City Engineer. Alternate median breaks may be considered subject to a detailed traffic analysis and subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Median Design - The 14-foot wide median shall be designed to provide access control and a unifying landscape statement. The median will feature basic types of planting. Accent tree planting (Crape myrtle), underplanted with a low evergreen groundcover, will be provided as median noses. Evergreen trees (Rhus lancea), underplanted with shrubs and groundcover, will be planted throughout the balance of the median. F. Foothill Boulevard Site Development Standards 1.

Section 17.32.080 - Subarea Development Standards This Section provides development standards for the individual subareas of the Foothill Boulevard Districts. The purpose of preparing subarea development standards is to identify the most prominent development standards applied within each of the four subareas in the Foothill Boulevard Districts. For each subarea the following categories have been identified and discussed: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Background Activity Center Area Building Siting Architectural Imagery Landscape/Streetscape Imagery Community Design Palette Land Use Regulations Site Development Standards The list described above does not intend to cover every specific development requirement which may be utilized in developing within the Foothill Boulevard, but does provide a quick overview of the major development considerations within each subarea. Any person interested in developing within the boundaries of the Foothill Boulevard Districts should refer to this Chapter in its entirety for an in-depth discussion of all the development constraints, opportunities, and standards. 17.32-56 6/99 REEIDENTIAL 'L..~ LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LOW-MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL MEOIUM RESIDENTIAL MHR-~ MEDIUM-HIGH RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL ~C-~ SPECIAL COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL REGIONAL RELATED COMMERCIAL ,_, MIXED USE OFFICE [,'CO COMMERCIAL/OFFICE INDUSTRIAL ~ LIGHT INDUSTRIAL UTILITY PUBLIC .ASTER PLAN AREA LAND USE PLAN Ordinance No. 604 Page 221 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.080 A. Subarea 1. Background: Subarea 1 is the least "linear" subarea within the Foothill Boulevard District boundary. Land uses currently cover a spectrum of intensities, from single-family to medium-density residential structures, as well as office and commercial uses. Because of the variety of existing land uses, and the future emphasis on specialty commercial uses, it is logical to delineate this area as a ~village." A large portion of this "village" is physically removed from the remainder of Foothill Boulevard by a railread trestle bridge and a large natural land form (Red Hill) in the central portion of the subarea. The Sycamore Inn and Magic Lamp restaurants are the most architecturally distinctive buildings in the area. Their location and proximity to one another provides the basis for the activity center of "Bear Gulch." The scale of these restaurant structures will keynote future architectural harmony for Bear Gulch Village. Other buildings are not as architecturally significant. Significant numbers of sycamores are found in this subarea, as well as a proliferation of the use of river rock in a number of structures. Many negative aesthetic features exist in this area as well, Least-appealing is outdoor storage visible from Foothill Boulevard.

Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be reduced to 25 feet from the curb (13-foot parkway and 12-foot setback from property line). Architectural scale is to remain at a "village" scale, one-story along sidewalks, with two- story structures allowed beyond the 50-foot setback (38 feet from property line) limits. Parking lots between the front property line and major structures, are strongly discouraged. Front setbacks for parking areas shall be 45 feet from the ultimate curb line (33 feet from property line). An 8-foot sidewalk will be located behind a 5-foot turf strip. The remaining land area within the front setback shall be either informally landscaped or an additional hardscape area expanded, depending upon proposed building entries, windows, and walls. The sidewalk material shall be a "medium broom" finish, terra cotta colored concrete. Natural colored concrete is not recommended due to its highly reflective nature, lack of interest, and inability to carry through the desired ~village" design concept. There will not be a requirement for existing structures and parking lots to comply with these new standards. Only new development and redevelopment of the exterior facade shall incorporate these setbacks and design concepts into their designs. 17.32-59 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 aoe223 aJlctio Cucamonga Development Code 25'0" building setback from curb ':' De~lopment 0~ula~y - Enhan~d en~ ~ ~ Shad~ areas ~ depi~s lands~ped ' or ~des~an hardscape surfaces Sections 17.32.080 Architectural ImagerY: All buildings should project a design vocabulary sensitive to the architecture of the Sycamore Inn and Magic Lamp, which includes multiple low-pitched roofs, traditional window shapes and placement, porches, arcades, and porticos. Overall scale should relate to the pedestrian, with a decidedly intimate "human scale." Buildings over two stories in height are not recommended in the activity center. Various architectural details, forms, materials, and colors are appropriate if they harmonize with the basic materials and cotor palette for Bear Gulch Village summarized in the Community Design Palette and the General Design Guidelines of Section 17.32.050. 17.32-60 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 224 Sections 17.32.080 Genlle Roof P~ch Multi-Paned Windows Multf-Planed Roofs Deep Porch Simple, Unadomed Board and B~ten Siding o Landscaoe/Streetscaoo Imaoerv: The sequence of views upon entering Rancho Cucamonga at Grove Avenue will shape the opinion of motorists as the quality of the city they are entering. Therefore, the importance of the imagery of landscape and streetscape elements is paramount in Bear Gulch Village. The concept within the activity center area is to incorporate an informal street tree planting system utilizing an informally shaped, colorful street tree palette. The trees (Sycamores and Crape Myrtle) are to be planted in an informal arrangement inside the property line. Community Design Palette: a. Architectural Character Determinant. Sycamore Inn (landmark) Wall Materials: Textured stucco Stained or painted woods (clapboard or board and batten) Brick Cobblestone, river rock, fieldstone Roofs/Pitches: Gable, hip or shed roofs Pitch 3:12 to 6:12 Wood shingle Slate Metal (colored earthtones) Accents: Exposed rafter tails Warm color accents Towers, cupolas, rotundas, and campaniles Multi-lighted windows Vine arbors Curved parapet walls Covered walkways Awnings 17.32-61 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 j~aoe 225 ahcho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.080 Scale: Two-story heights with the first floor oriented towards the pedestrian.

Crape Myrtle (secondary activity node) Sycamore (primary activity node) Carolina Laurel Cherry (major median species) Flowering Plum (secondary suburban parkway and median accent tree) In order to prevent a barren wintertime street scene, street, parkway, and median trees have been selected to avoid a completely deciduous palette. Activity center trees planted in informal styles shall be at a minimum of 30-inch box size in order to achieve a sufficient height for clear visibility under the canopy. 7. Land Use Re(3ulations · Primary Function/Location. This subarea is located contiguous to the Foothill Boulevard Corridor between Grove and Vineyard Avenues. It will act as a major gateway into the community, dominated by a Specialty Commercial Activity Center, (Foothill Boulevard and San Bernardino Road) designed as the primary activity center within the subarea. In addition to the public hearing and notification requirements of Section 17.02.110, additional notification of all property owners within the Foothill Boulevard subarea in which the property under review is located is required. b.

Ordinance No. 604 Page 230 Sections 17. 32.080 Backc;round: Subarea 2 is the smallest subarea withi~ the Foothill Boulevard District boundary. The Thomas Brothers Winery, which is located on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, is one of the few historical structures in the corridor. Research into the regional history of the Cucamonga area has led to the establishment of a Rancho Cucamonga Heritage image which reflects the agricultural heritage of the entire region. The activity center in Subarea 2 is located at the intersection of Vineyard Avenue and Foolhill Boulevard. The parcels located in this area are currently designated "CC", Community Commercial, and "SC", Specialty Commercial. The remainder of Subarea 2 is composed of relatively new development, completed under pre-Foothill Boulevard zoning. There is very little vacant land within this subarea. The small amount of vacant land which exists is in the activity center at Vineyard Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue are to be 25 feet minimum from the ultimate curb line. All off-street parking is to be set back at least 50 feet from the ultimate curb line. Parking lots located between the front property line and major structures are strongly discouraged. In addition, building masses should not have large expanses of parking located between structures. The environment on each of these properties should be conducive to pedestrian movements from major parking areas to commercial establishments. Due to the depths of these properties it is impractical and wasteful to require all buildings to be located on the front setback line. However, all sites should have some building or portions of buildings located on the front (street) setback line; consistent with site development standards for these properties. 17.32-68 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 232 Sections 17.32.080 Corntemporary street light ~ Froreal M tree Reslaurant with banner pla~mg comer access and Fou~ 2 story building FACADE ARTICULATION Architectural Ima(3erv: As previously mentioned, theThomas Brothers Winery is the style determinant in this subarea. The main buildings at the Thomas Brothers Winery do not portray "special" architectural features other than a grape arbor and multiple shed roofs. Investigations into the architectural hedtage of winery buildings suggests that the structure is representative of the California Barn Style (see sketch). The simple, clean lines of the barn in profile provide an almost unlimited range of architectural expressions. The barn silhouette is universally recognized as a symbol of the winery culture and is uniquely suited to serve as the pdmary architectural prototype for this subarea.

It contains the "central" activity center at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue. This activity center, known as the Cucamonga Towne Center, will be more urban in nature than all other activity centers along Foothill Boulevard. Land uses vary considerably within this subarea, with small- to medium-sizec commercial uses dominating the central portion of the Subarea. ~ ~Mr~l?q]l~ d[Zl)&IfilOK ~qO~llN~dL~l ~/ / VICTOMA# COT~AO~ %.

Unlike any other subarea, Subarea 3 has two activity centers located within it. The first activity center is located at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue. Its boundaries are irregular and do not correspond to a land use district, but generally relate to the CC and SC land use designations. The second activity center is located at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Hermosa Avenue. This is referred to as the Hermosa Intersection. It is a minor center with less formality than the Cucamonga Towne Center. The Community Design Plan for this minor activity center will relate to the CC and CO land use designations. 17.32-75 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 239 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.080 Building Siting. The concept for the Cucamonga Towne Center is to create a retail commercial core which emphasizes pedestrian circulation. This will be accomplished by promoting building clusters with parking lots Ioceted away from pedestrian travel routes. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be 25 feet from the curb with hardscape and landscape predominant. Parking is prohibited in the front setback areas. Setbacks for the second and third stories of any building located in this activity center are 50 and 60 feet, respectively. Ground floor courtyards or plazas on private property are encouraged. The intersection at Archibald Avenue will become the pdmary focus for Foothill Boulevard. Buildings at this location should incorporate architectural features which emphasize urban qualities. Features will include comer cut-offs and vertical elements such as towers, flagpoles, trellis structures, etc. In the activity center, no setbacks are required at the side or rear property lines for buildings located on the 25-foot front setback line; in order to encourage a continuous row or cluster of buildings sited in the activity center with parking located between the primary structure entry and the street shall 3rovide full side and rear-yard setbacks. 17.32-76 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Ordinance No. 604 Page 240 Section 17.32.080 Awnings over Single Sto~ Festive 'Retail at StreetRetaii/Restaurant~ at Pedestrian I .Street · Promenade ~ B~llards Wall Material Roofs Details Architectural Imaqery. The objective at this section is to upgrade design quality and image as existing structures are removed or redeveloped. The architectural context for the Cucamonga Towne Center will be to create an intimately-scaled retail district that will emphasize the quality of the pedestrian shopping experience. Elements which help achieve this *scale" include facade composition, rooflines, doors, windows, walls, awnings, colors, materials, and finishes. · :- I I I ::', I '?.~ ~ I ! - Stucco Walls Board and Brick River Rock Batten t. t Gable Roof Hip Roof Barn Shad Pitch Roof Rafter Tails Towar~ Arbors Multi Parted Windows Ordinance No. 604 Page 241 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.080 o LandscaDe/Streetscaoe ImaQerv. The landscape/streetscape concept within Cucamonga Towne Center is highlighted by a formal, double-row street tree planting utilizing an informally-shaped, colorful street tree. Landscape and hardscape materials are selected to perform a variety of functions; including improving and softening building appearance, improving street appearance, and promoting sound absorption. The double row of trees promotes an "urban image" which acts as a counter point to suburban oriented themes. This urban accent will remain predominant throughout the planning area. In addition to the double row of trees on Foothill Boulevard, an equally urban palette of shrubs, turf, potted plants, attractive paving, benches, lighting, and other elements will make the pedestrian streetscapes attractive and usable. Sidewalks located within the Cucamonga Towne Center contiguous to Foothill Boulevard will extend from turf islands to building walls. To avoid any design/safety problems with Caltrans, a double row of trees shall be planted on private property. The trees are to be planted in a regimental fashion (see graphic in Section 17.32.050 for clarity). The sidewalk matedal shall be a "medium broom" finish, incorporating a terra cotta color.

Subarea 4 is the final subarea within the Foothill Boulevard corridor and is physically separated from the other subareas. This physical separation, however, should not be allowed to disrupt the overall design continuity of Foothill Boulevard. This "Eftwanda Gateway" subarea is the least urban of the four subareas. Structures in the area do not currently have strong architectural style or thematic sense. This Subarea serves as a major entry into the Foothill Corridor, and as such, should project a strong design image. As the stone curbing along Eftwanda Avenue has been recognized as a unique historic feature, all new development shall be required to restore and/or reconstruct the stone curbing from Foothill Boulevard north to 24th Street (Wilson Avenue), in conformance with adopted City Standards acceptable to the Histodc Preservation Commission. Activity Center Area. The Community Design Plan for the urban activity center will relate to the CC, and RRC land use designations at the intersection of Eftwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Subarea 4 is much less urbanized than the other ~ree subareas. Due to the amount of vacant land and non-descdpt architectural legacy, there was no purpose in developing a design analysis map. However, all of the architectural, landscape architecture and streetscape elements will come directly from the other subarea to ensure the design continuity of Foothill Boulevard. Unlike the other activity center Foothill Boulevard, the activity center at Eftwanda will not require detailed pedestrian amenities. It is recommended that landscape and rolling berms be utilized instead of hardscape materials. SUBAREA 4 - ACTIVITY AREA MAP 17.32-88 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code _i_i_ Ordinance No. 604 Section 1 ~.~.~0~2 SUBAREA 4 - ACTIVITY CENTER Buildin~ Sitina. The concept for the Etiwanda Gateway is to create character which portrays a regional commemial oriented image. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be 25 feet from the curb, with hardscape and landscape treatments predominant in this area. Parking is prohibited in this 25-foot setback area for properties at this intersection. Architectural Imaae~. As with other subareas, no fixed architectural "style" is mandated for the Etiwanda Gateway area. Buildings in this area should reflect the community design palette established generally for Foothill Boulevard. This palette incorporates the architectural "models" provided for by the Thomas Brothers Winery and Sycamore Inn. Buildings and structures shall incorporate such amhitectural elements as bdck, wood, tile, and stucco details in order to maintain a 'human" scale within this regional oriented area. Cement block, tilt-up concrete, and similar :industrial-type" materials are prohibited from the activity center properties. Landscaoe/Streetsca~e Imagery. The landscape/streetscape concept for the Etiwanda Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Intersection node is the same as the concept for Cucamonga Towne Center with the exception of pedestrian amenities.

Economic Development Strateoies. This section outlines the Economic Development Strategy incorporated along with the Foothill Boulevard Districts. 'These efforts are intended to provide the framework for financing area public and private improvements, which can bring the cimulation and design components of the district concept to reality and establish other mechanisms which will ultimately promote the viability of business activity along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. In following brief notes on the purposes of an economic development strategy, the discussion turns to five key components which constitute the economic blueprint for the planning area. Each component is described in terms of it feets rationale, potential phasing, private and public responsibilities, and appropriate funding sources. An Economic Development Strategy is but one part of the overall Foothill Boulevard District concept, though it is crucial to achieving a land use pattem which is viable in the marketplace while supporting the design objectives of the corridor. It is one of the focused blueprints for implementation of goals and objectives. In addition, it functions as a coordinating device between such features as traffic, design image, and land use. Finally, it enumerates the various administrative and financial resources which will be required for effective implementation. Economic development covers just one of the many policy blueprints necessary to bring the district feets design, land use, and circulation sections into reality. Policies aimed toward retail and service land use, eventually will be evaluated not so much for their popular appeal, but whether or not they were carded out in practice and strengthened the local community. Therefore, this strategy is grounded in the findings of an earlier economic analysis conducted under the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan program and in the goals and objectives established with citizen input. 17.32-93 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 a 2 l~j~rtqc~o ~ucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 090 Finally, an Economic Development Strategy enumerates the conditions under which various types of public assistance may occur. It also specifies what is expected of both private and governmental participants in the implementation process. Because ~:esources for implementation are always limited, it is essential to prioritize objectives for the future and to reexamine these as time brings changes to the Rancho Cucemonga area. An underlying philosophy for economic development along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor is that commercial proposals should be initiated by the pdvate sector. Local government participation primarily will be used to provide a receptive climate in response to those proposals and to install special mechanisms that foster private action among retail and service businesses.' Implementation policies may be divided into two types; administrative mechanisms and financial incentives. Some changes in the administrative climate for economic development are generally necessary to make use of specific incentive devices. Moreover, local government policy should give priority to improving the climate for the local economy rather than on the provision of financial subsidies. Redevelopment Proiect Area Amendment. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has supported the concept of redevelopment through formation of a project area that extends over much of the study area lying between Vineyard Avenue and the 1-15 Freeway. The Redevelopment Agency has amended its odginal plan to include a provision for Foothill Boulevard improvements, contemplating potential public participation in areas where such participation might be necessary to properly plan for and develop portions of the project area. The amendment increases the agency increment financing potential, its bonding capacity, and its time limit for implementation. This plan amendment provides the opportunity for the Redevelopment Agency to consider targeting specific public actions commensurate with its ability to finance the same. Consideration of such options should commence with a special report to the Redevelopment Agency outlining areas of potential public involvement, potential costs and priorities. This. report will address such potential policy areas as: Participation in underwriting of certain street and intersection construction and reconstruction in identified problem areas b. Public design treatment as a positive force c, Elimination of physical obstacles to private redevelopment d. Public participation in parcel consolidation e. Joint public-private participation ventures f. Applicable financing programs g. Redevelopment program schedules The central aim of this policy is to provide a mechanism for public participation in areas where public action is necessary to eliminate major obstacles to the proper development of the corridor and to help provide better physical relationships to encourage future economic investment. 17.32-94 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code 2. Ordinance No. 604 Infrastructure Uoaradina. Creating an enhanced economic climate for Foothill Boulevard requires public sector commitments as well as private activity. This can include, where appropriate, such items as drainage improvements, street widening, and intersection reconstruction. Ma~king key entries to Rancho Cucamonga with 'gateway" design elements is treated elsewhere in the corridor although it is tied to other infrastructure upgrading. Storm drain and related flood control investments are the heart of the infrastructure improvements. In order of possible phased development, specific improvements proposed for the plan area are: Hermosa Avenue area storm drain (from Deer Creek to Ramona along Foothill) $988,000. b. An:till=aid Avenue storm drain $2,943,000. Hellman Avenue storm drains, including connector with Cucamonga Channel $3,372,000 d. Foothill Boulevard and East Avenue $1,809,000 e. Etiwanda Creek area approximately $3.3 million Funding for improvements number a. through c. and e. above can come from a Redevelopment Agency bond issue or a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District. The Mello-Roos Act has become a significant method of financing public capital facilities serving new development through bond issues authorized by special taxes. Since the Eftwanda Creek area will be among the last land areas in the corridor to undergo development, the City will continue its drainage fee collection system and will examine the possibility of either assessment district proceedings or a separate redevelopment bond issue as future land use needs are more clearly defined. Incentive Program for Small-lot Consolidation. The Foothill Boulevard Districts recognizes that problems of traffic congestion and marginal land use are often associated with a pattern of small commercial land parcels. Highly fragmented ownership and land use arrangements also seriously hinder plans for renovation or expansion of businesses operating within such areas. Therefore, an incentive program for small-lot consolidation along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor will be established. Assistance to support lot consolidation would apply only under the following conditions: a. Three or more legal parcels are involved in the consolidation; and b. None of the parcels alone exceeds one-half acre in size; and Plans are submitted for a new development which exceeds the combined valuation of the land and improvements on the affected properties. The Redevelopment Agency can work with applicants on lot consolidation on public improvements within the project area to stimulate eventual recycling of existing uses. These would be applied on a case-by-case basis, depending on the current pattern of 17.32-95 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 l~~Oucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.090 development and the proposals submitted. In addition, the City will consider potential property acquisition for common parking areas to provide additional development potential for properties with difficult site constraints. Appropriate target areas for this program are sites between Grove and the railroad undercrossing, from Hellman to Klusman, and between Hermosa and Center. Attraction of Hitch Sales Volume/Market Void Uses. A market analysis prepared dudng the preparation of the odginal Specific Plan process identified a number of retail and service activities which are under-represented in the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Efforts to attract these land uses should be made to the extent that they would complimer*,: rather than compete directly with land uses planned for the Victoria Gardens Mall and its immediate surroundings. This will be an ongoing implementation activity, having a greater potential for positive results after infrastructure improvements are in 13tac~ ' ;~cal populations dse than if tackled early in the life of the corridor. Types of busing; :.es which would be targets of the marketing effort include high sales tax and employment generators. In order for this economic development program to be successful, it will be necessary to make corridor sites more attractive to private investment than sites in the immediate vicinity of the regional mall. The use of the redevelopment process and land assembly (with available funds) may need to be a part of this effort. Initiate a Small Business Assistance Proclram. New business promotion and redevelopment activity do not mean that the needs of existing Foothill Boulevard Corridor retail and service outlets will be neglected. The Foothill Boulevard Districts is committed to strengthen the operation of those firms which are viable contributors to serving neighborhood and community-wide consumer demands. In order to assist the small business sector, the Redevelopment Agency will work toward establishing a program for use by businesses to finance facade upgrading and on-site improvements. The program would be open to owners of commercial property, and loans would be available for up to 80 percent of the authorized improvements, not to exceed $50,000.00 per property. Interest rate on the loan shall be prime rate. The criteria for improvements to be eligible for the Business Assistance Program are as follows: that improvements promote and are not in conflict with the goals and objectives of this Chapter. Eligible improvements may include costs to repaint, re-stucco, re-roof, upgrade landscaping, resurface parking facilities, or other minor on-site upgrading. That all facade and on-site improvements are approved through the Design Review process. That improvements for non-conforming uses and structures are in conformance with provisions of this Chapter. 17.32-96 6~99 Ordinance No. 604 Page 260 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 090 e. Addition of new building and site features (not to include additional floor or parking area) which reduce the degree of non-conformity of exJsting features is encouraged under this program. Other small business assistance programs which the City can investigate includes the establishment of a local development corporation in conjunction with the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce. Seed money for such a venture is available through Community Development Block Grant Section 108 provisions and the Small Business Administration 504 Program. The function of this nonprofit organization would be to stimulate the health and expansion of small businesses through low-interest loans or grants. This funding would support: building construction leasehold improvements renovation and modernization machinery and equipment land acquisition CDBG and Small Business Administration regulations each set the criteria for firms that may receive financial aid. For-example, eligible businesses must have a net worth of less than $6 million and be the actual user of assets purchased with loan funds. The concept of"shared dsk" is advanced as the SBA program will provide loans only up to 40 percent of project costs; owner equity and conventional bank/private sector lending must make up the remainder. Promote Housin(3 Opportunities Supportive of Commercial Land Use Incentives. A strong retail and service sector along any major traffic artery draws its life-blood from local and subregional consumer patronage. Both the business community and local government must work diligently to promote shopper use of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor over other alternative destinations. Part of this strategy involves bringing more residents to the corridor vicinity because existing and planned businesses cannot rely exclusively on through traffic for their viability. The commercial intensity recommended for Foothill Boulevard presents Rancho Cucamonga with a most ambitious land use target to achieve. Attracting patrons from Upland and western Fontana to Foothill Boulevard businesses is not likely to provide a sufficient base of support. Therefore, the City should promote housing development on those properties designated for residential use along the corridor and adjacent areas. Medium Residential land uses are appropriate densities for consideration with the bordenng Low Density neighborhoods and as an aid to the business sector viability. SicIn and Street Furniture Maintenance District. The City should consider the establishment of a Maintenance Assessment District for the Foothill Boulevard Corridor which will accumulate funds to improve and maintain public and pdvate signs and appurtenances. The funds will be accumulated by charging a special fee for signs in the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. The fee will be charged at the design review building permit stage. Foothill Boulevard Corridor Color Coordination. In order to induce design continuity along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, the City will begin a painting and clean-up program. 17.32-97 6/99 Ordinance No. 604 t~d~g'~lucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32.090 All appropriate sign hardware, street furniture, poles, barriers, signal signs and related objects in the public right-of-way of Foothill Boulevard in the study area shall be painted a distinctive and consistent color. Cib/Si~n Locations. In those areas designated as key locations for City signs, (as discussed in Section 17.32.050) the City should proceed to negotiate a least cost use of private property (i.e., lease, acquisition, etc.). 17.32-98 6/99
