L CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT \ DATE: July 25, 1990 s TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner , SUBJECT: DRAFT 'TRAILS INKLAWATION PLAY - A comprehensive policy an inlemen ion_ p an or a ing, riding,, and biking trails within the community. I. ABSTRACT: This retort presents an overview for your consideration of the Draft Trolls Implementation Plan. The Commission's comments are deni ed regarding the content of the document,, and ultimately, a revotmendation of approval to be forwarded to the City Council. II. ORGMIZlkTIOM: This document is organized into four major areas as escr e e ow• Trails Concept (Chapters 3 & 4-) - Concepts for hiking,_ riding', and bicycle trail systems are detailed within` these two chapters. Design Standards (Chapter'G) - A set of detailed standards for the construction of hiking, riding and bicycling trails; < and their appurtenances, is discussed herein, Administration (Chapter 7) - This chapter lists responsibilities of City departments for various aspects of trail implementation, including, bit not limited .to, trail alignments, acquisition, of trail rights -of -way, design and construction, and maintenance. Implementation (Chapter 8) - This chapter outlines the basic regulatory procedures, funding machanisms and methods of acquiring trails and lists future tr,z9 improvement projects. In addition, the Appendix will contain two critical components: the Preliminary 'Construction Estimates and the Financing P1'an.' - Both documents ara being prepared under separate contract for the Council's consideration. The Appendix also contains recommended "ordinances relating to trails and a job description for a potential Trails Coordinator position. III. GEN ERAL GVERVIEii: Historically, the City's only long ?range trail i p ammng gui a as been the Trails Element of the General Plan. The General Plan's ,Master' Plan of Trails established a broad ITMI D P0NNING COMiMISSION STAFF 'REPORT DRAFT TRAILS';IMPLEMENTATION PLAN JULY 25, 1990 Page 2 policy and basic concept for a regional, community, and local feeder trail system. The Trails Implementation Plan supplements the 1981 General Plan with more precisetrail ;alignments, design standards, and funding mechanisms necessary to make the trail system a reality. The Trails Implementation Plan is intended to provide specific implementation .. strategies from initial planning through construction and maintenance. The Plan identifies eiiht benefits " of a 'trail system to t',e entire contfunity, including '0ternative means of transportation,.recreation, and contribution to' „a higher quality of life. Tfir T ran s Implementation Plan will provide the user with most ci the fitforw_'Ufon needed to determine- 'whit''City policies, standards,, and rlalations will guide the development of t.,ails within Rancho Cucamonga. IV. HIKING AND RIDING 'TRAILS CONCEPT: The existing .General Plan s er an a s s es a ;r{sited a regional trail system utilizing the many, flood control channels and utility corridors, a community trail system which connects the trtils',user with the regional trail system, 'and a local feeder, trai'l'system' which enables the user access from their lot tab the community and regional trail sysom. The proposed Hiking and Riding Trails Master Plan (Figure 2) indicates trail routes which were selected as the most advantageous for hikers and ,equestrians in satisfying the General Plan objectives of safety, function, aesthetics, economics, and feasibility of acquisition. Trail routes are more , precisely defined as to which side of, a flood channel or street they follow. The Trails Implementation Plan introduces the concept of a'Primary Loop Trail system (Figure 3). The Primary Loop trails form a . figure "So consisting of a. combination of Regional and Community Trai7, with Heritage Park located at its midsection. In this 9 way, Heritage Park can be used as both -a destination anal a trail head. Tba Primary Loop,, wit}, a total length of about 14 miles ,,ig 'a creased at regular intervals by Community Trails and affords limitless variety of trail experiences for both the hike, and the equestrian. The Plan includes a discussion of the need k- 'head :trail facilities at key locations. These. would function as trail staging points for hikers, horse riders, and even' bicyclists. .Trail .heads would ideally, be equipped with facilities such as restreoms, drinking foun"Ins, parking for cars' and, horse trailers, bike racks; and watering troughs. In addition, the Plan discusses the need for an additional equestrian facility,. _ Heritage Park, somewhere near the Etiwanda Community.. F` PLANNING COMW,'10N STAFF REPORT DRAFT TRAILS IMPLEMENTATION,PLAN JULY 25, 1990 Page 3 Y. BICYCLE TRAILS CONCEPT: The proposed; General Bikeways Plan focuses upon A ap ng a existing and proposed street system and flood control /utility, corridor system to bicycle travel. Equal emphasis is placed upon destination ' (purpose) and non - destination (for- the- €un -o f-it) oriented trips Adapting the General Bikeways *� Plan is z requirement, to be eligible to apply for bike trail grant funds. Although the proposed trail alignments build upon the City's General:" Plan and many specific and community plans, there w are zsome changes that will necessitate future amendments for consistency. TM There ara three types of bike trails commonly defined in California., A Class 1 Bike Path Is an off- street trail, ful.l.y separated from automobile .tr.ffic, which allows for two -.way bicycle travel. Class 11, Bike Lanes are striped lanes for exclusive use by bicyclists. A Class III Bike. Route is a bike trail simply identified with signs - the cyclist shares the road with cars. Class Ii and Class III bike trails are proposed for one -way bicycle travel; hence, the trail would L exist on both shoulders of the road. Generally, Bike Paths are proposed along flood channels to utilize the existing paved service road. Bike Lanes are proposed mainly along major thoroughfares. Bike Routes are used along, lessor streets with lower traffic volumes. However in some cases, the determination, as to which type of bike trail is proposed is based upon the available street section width. For example, Milliken Avenue is proposed as a Bike Route, even though it meets all of tha criteria for a Bike Lane, because of insufficient width to accommodate a striplad lane,`, ! The Plan addresses the constraints which impede bicyclists or discourage bicycle commuting. Figure $ identifies recommended underpass locations where < flood channels cross�Major streets These underpasses are critical to the suscess`of the Regional Trail system and would service the hiker, equestrian, and bicyclist. The City's General Plan emphasizes development_ of bicycle trai';s as an alternative transportation mode (e.g,, bicycle commuting). A successful bike trail system for commuters must address their unique.needs for not only safe and convenient routes but adequate storage, and showering /changing facilities. The Appendix contains - 'oposed ordinances which would establish more r -ecise bicycle storage requirements for new development, as well as Incentives for employers to encourage bicycle commuting by providing showeripg and changing facilities for their employees. VI. DESIGN STAWARnW This chapter includes detailed standards for cF ing ,r 9, and bikin7 'Grails. The hiking and riding trail standards reflect the City s current :standards. The bicycle trail standards are based upon the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, I r, ... a ::... :..I ..

These responsibilities are summarized in- a, matrix . presented in Figure 15. Because of the complexity and scope of implementing the City's ambitious Master Plan of Trails, it is suggested that the City consider creating ,a Trails Coordinator position. This person would be responsible for coordinating trail issues among various City' departments and outside agencies and seek grant funds, for trail, projects. The Trails Coordinator would also serve as staff to the Trails Advisory Committee. A suggested job description is inrl'udbd in the Appendix. VIII. IHPLEVIENTATION: The implementation chapter is a summary of the regulatory tools used to .eimplemerit the: trail system. The Chapter includes a: brief disc- !'ssipn of the ,various funding; sources and methods of acquiring. trails rights -of Eby.- The chapter includes a priority listing of hiking and riding tia;l improvement projects and bicycle trail improvement projects. The Appendix will include a complete report on the Preliminary Construction Cost Estimates for the trail system. .'This information can then be used as the basis for future budgeting purposes. The Financing Plan to be included in the Appendix explores the feasibility of various. funding techniques and ' provides recommenda1ons for specific funding strategies' for hiking, riding and biking trails.' r; RECOlOATION: Tonight, staff is providing an overview of the' Draft fralls Implementation Plan.

RECOMMENDATION Staff, and the Trails Advisory Committee recommend that Regional Hiking &'Riding Trails be located on only one side of the flood control channels, except within the Caucstrian /Rural Area where they should occur on both sides. Staff is seeking your direction on this issue. II. BACKGROUND: Since 1981, the City's General Plan Master Plar of Trails has designated multi - purpose 'Regional Trails along the 'many flood control channels. The City Council adopted their Resolution No. 81 -93 vMch established' a design standard for Regional Trails showing hiking, riding, and bicycling trails coexisting side-by- side along one side of tha channels. This issue was discussed by the Trails Advisory Committee on July 18, 1990. The consensus of.the Committee was that Regional Hiking and Riding Traits should be locater'on both sides of the channel, as opposed to -'one side only, within the Eoz!*,stri an /Rural Area. Their deliberations focused on the potential sa aty concern created by bicycles distrubing horses if the trails were both located. on the same side of the channel. The Comm,"cee cited the pie of 'pow well the Demens Channel Regional Trail has worked beaause the bike tail on the south side is . separated from the hiking /riding trail on the north side by the channel. To maintain the Regional Hiking and Riding, Trails' along both sides of the channel, and provide a safe, functional, interconnected system underpasses' must k -nnstructed where the trails cross major streets. These underpasses would be similar to those along the Cucamon;a Creek TraH, iat 19th Street and Base Line Road. A total of 2' loc�xtions are alanned for underpasses (see 'figure 6). Acco -mmodating. hikers and equestrians on both sides of the channel within the Equestrian /Rural Area, instead of combined on the same side with bicyclists, would require that -4 additional underpasses be constructed at an estimated cost of $1,248,000. .61 PLANNING COMMISSION 'STAFF REPORT SHARED'PARKINO STUDY- FOOTHILL'VILLAGE- NUWEST July 25, 1990 Page 2:� observed occurrences at two other existing.

Im'li:ations: Althoughrthe -City has permitted the use r is :based a on >:off -set eak o snared par K-10 in other p oiec n _.p, p demands of different, land uses'(i.e�.;'thaater vs. office), it has' not been ;sed to a, great extent, in shopping' centers the size, and' type 'of Foothill Village. ..If shared parking were alloaed at 'this shopping center; it is--,likely that the G'ity`; would see an, increase in requests for this c ®ncept in other Amilar shop PihgL centers. The Commission should determine whether shared parking would be- acceptable in L other commercial areas as well. ` B. Monitoring: As shopping centers beg k3 to�`be leased out,'.it becomes diffictf �, for stiff ,to to determi'•:e 'the-availability of parking. Problems occur when'uses, which require more parking than gew.41 retail uses, locate within the centers and use up 'the any additional parking which, the deftloper� provided with project. This occurred with Chuck E. Chee "se at Foothill Village. With the approval' of aishared parking concept, the ;monito�,ing of available 'parking is .dompl cated,. especially as uses,and the tenant,mix - changes; The :shared parking study indicf-ite's that should Chuck E. 'Cheese' leave' and another restaurant " occupy its space, ther_e:'would be aittle effeci on the parking (in fact, parking. demand would. be towered by'; 6, parking spaces). Howeveri,.there are still monitoring difficulties as other uses in the center change. C.

July 61 1994 lr>TtaoDuMON In the pest Austin -Foust Associates, Inc., (AFA) conducted a parking study of the existing Foothill Village in the City of Rancho Cucamonga far the purpose of determining the peak parking accumulation if a 10,000 SF Chuck £ Chsese Pizza facwtf =re to be approved for the center. That studye as initiated before the center was algfficantty lewd and occupied and retied upon historical parking trends for retail uses to fosecaat parking demand. The center is presently more than 65 percent occupied (about 90 percent leased) and a second parking study -bas been undertaken.: This updated study approach examines existing usage (hour by Stour) and bre. =, is only the parking demand ganerated by the exist ng vacant retail space (including 7,000 square feet of vacant restaurant space) and the proposed Chuck Z Cheese Pizza restaurant. The vacant retail and restaurant parking demand is based on city code parkin$ (4 ap4ces per is for retail! 10 spaces per TSF for xestaurants under 6,000 ST', and 2$.x9 spaces';of TSi` for restaurantx over 61400 SF) and the typical hourly fluctuatiory associated with retail and restaurant 'use. 'T , ; Chuck F— Ch ese parking demand is based *& Pctual case studies of :evo existing Chuck E. Chc= facilities. The total hourly parking dem -au,° =Ireated'by the ad,,dug; retail use as well as the ,presently; unoccupied retail space and 'chi: proposed pizza restt -grant ;are then compared with the aavaiiables spaces (433 spaces) to determine if sufficient parking is provided. ANALYSIS Edsting parking within the Foot.._ loge was counted on two typical woekdays and one Saturday. The results are indicated in Table 2. Examination of this table reveals the current users (65 percent oc upancy) we generating a peak weekday parking demand: of 179 spaces and a peak Ikedemand of 213 npaccs on Saturdays. Given this existing parking condition, AFA has estimated the hour by hour demand for the remakda; unoccupied retail and restaurant space based on shared parking relationships developed by the Urban Land'Iastitate and documented in their pubifcad4n, �,, 07e06.i090 tOs44 'FROM AtjiT;N Ir,0U5T f7550C.

STAFF REPORT DATE: July 25, 1990 TO Chairman and Nc�+ers of the Planning Commission PROM: Brad Buller City Planner i BY: Bruce Buckingham, Planning Technician SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO UNIFORM SIGN tPROGRAH FOR MILLER'S OUTPOST PLAZA .. FIZZACHUT - n appeal. of staff's decision to deny a sign program amendment, located at the northeast corner of Foothill and Archibald AIR. 1077- 641 -71 I. ABSTRACT: The applicant, Kodash, 'Inc. is eppealing the decision of ann ng staff which dented an amendment. to the Miller's Outpost Plaza Uniform Sign Program to allow for major tenants to have red signs. I1. BACKGROUND: In 1983, Planning staff approved a Uniform Sign Program or the Miller's Outpost Plaza at the nortMast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue. The Uniform Sign Program designated "Cabrillo bold"' as the uniform letter 'styleT and-Yellow Number 2016 as the uniform sign color. The three major tenants approved as part e{ the shoppin; center; ..Miller's Outpost, Chief Auto Parts, and Conroy's, were given the flexibility of choosing their own letter style and color through the design review process, On August 74, 1987, the Uniform Sign Program was amended allowing wajor tenants alternative letter styles per City Planner approval. Major tenants were defined as businesses occupying a minimum of 5,OOD square feet or a franchise organization with 5 or more stores. On May 22, 1990, a representative for Pizza Nut, Inc. submitted a Sign Application for their new "take -out only" location of approximately 1,000 square feet in the fuller's Outpost Plaza. Tktt y submitted an alternative letter style with red sign copy, Planning staff approved the "corporate letter style " but rejected the red sign copy as inconsist`nt with the Uniform Sign Program. On June 5, 1990, Kodash,, Inc. ,submitted an amendment to the Uniform Sign Program to allow major tenants red'. signage. Following a review, Planning staff denied the request to amend the Uniform Sign Program on Juno 11, 1990 (see Ext.ibit "A "). Do June ITEM ' styles. In addition n, a corporate logo may be used in conjunction with the business name io any color• that is, compatible with the. - center. All of these criteria allow for tearts to - `adequately identify, their businesses as well -is maintain and promote any `nationally ...- locally recognized -identity< furthermore, it permits some 'individuality without disrupting the continuity of the shopping center.* The proposed devi ,ti on from the yellow IPttet, color allowing . any or all major "'ten¢., *s red Sign cop, •.would create a chaotic -color puttern effect; �-':y' reducing the unity 'gf,the center. There are. r currently at:laa`si 4'tenants,(Kentucky Fried Chicken, 7 =11, Buster Brown, - -and 'Quik Blinds), 'in,addition;to Pizza Hut, that are nationally or locally known franchises that have conforming yellaw' signs: The intent of a Uniform Sign Program is to adopt specific design st?nda,.s to incorporate a theme and to create uniform design -elements, to. consistently. be carried throughout all tenant signage. This is achieved by limited variation in sign color and design. Allowing red signage to intermix -with. the existing yellow would erode the „purpose.of' the Uniform Sign Program by putting the main focus of the center on - the .signage ;rather than the architecture. The overall harmony and attractiveness of the center would be diminis�;ied by -+wo bold colors being -used with no continuity as to location.: Furthermorey -the color coordination now achieved would effectively be lost lessening the theme of the center. Over the years, many nationally and /or locally recognized businesses have complied with this center's Uniform ',Sign, Program. To alter the Uniform Sign Program permitting red signage would be unfair to the �±'+ er tenants who have been Willing to conform. In addition, this A's a relatively small shopping'center, the type for which Planning. Commission has establisheCnformil policies limiting the variation of sign color. Pizza iiut,:;Inc.` currently has one other location An the City of Rancho Cucamonga ?; at the `southeast 'corner of Carnelian Avenue= and 19th Street.:, These signs are in conformance with the Uniform Sign Program for that :center and'are-non- illuminated Hood signs with cream letter color.

TREE NUMBER NAME ; 1 Eucalyptus Spps. 2,3,4,5,6,10 Washington filifera` California Pan Palm 8,4 cedrus atlanticus AtIas Cedar 12,17 Schinus mode Callfornia Peoper 16 Platanus racemosa Sycamore SENERAL..NEALTH Each tree in the above,"grpup, except palms, has, specific p:,,ablems that will not adapt in a',,-7w landscape. Each tree will be discussed in detail a5'fallotis EUCALYPTUS Tree No. I -'a eucalyptus '- is very large; estimated size is 100' plus. This tree has external defects with misshapen scaffold and limb dispersement. (see photos) Major trunk Wounds and scars" that have poorly healed have left trunk, unsightly. Nailed 24•4's that aided entry to a tree - house have 'd'amage4. darts, of bark. A planned sidewalk skirts this tree which witl.."reveal abnormalities. Grade changes to accommodate sidewalk and surrounding landscape area will ha"- a direct negative la ?act on this tree., Radical changes in irrigation regime to accommodate new landscapes will directly affect root systems and, may lead to'root rot., Tree %size makes it very'tYangerous in high winds especially if sail is moist from landscapes and a diminished root system from root rot. Finally, this tree from ite mere size is cut of place., 1 { i4� r l� 1 ti PALMS Trees No. 2, 31 4, 5, S, and 10 would be rood candidates to be relocated and utilized elsewhere. Palm No. 10, however, does- have a lower trunk lean and upper upright trunk. This may not be desirable.. Transplanting is usually quite successful with these palms.' )'hey can adapt to a variety of landscape situations. No past problems �-n,�re observed. GEpARS Two cedar trees, No. 9 and 9, like the eucalyptus, are too large to really fit into a new landscape situation. Both appear td be healthy. Both, havever, do possess shape defects that would, not be consdered desirable. Cedar No. B has been topped. This is an unnatural shape form for this tree. 'This tree has alsiu back.wounds. Aft (see photo) Tree Nu. 9 has a very large side branch making this tree appear ;r have tvo certrai leaders or a fork. itee photo) These two tree defects would dhvalue trees in a tree appraisal. The natural form is a single tr.,nk conical, ;n shape, PEPPE��' Two pepper trees, No. 12 and 17, -0_, being considered to be relocated on site. Both trees have structural problems. Tree'No. 17 has major heart rot.- (see photo) This tree is a high liability. Peppers are naturally brittle; as a result 'durissg high winds major limbs break. If'thesa breaks are not attended to in time a hearr rot develops and consumes the interiior 'structure of tree. (see photo) As in the °'case of Tree No. 17, Tr_e No. 1E has had a major limb cut on the southeast side of this tree. Heart rot has become established. It is uncertain hOw deep intr the trunk this has progressed. Removal of this scaffold I branch would, radically alter shape of this tre<t. To complicite { the problem, this tree is growing immediately adjacent to the curb on Etiwanda avenue. Removal of street{ curb, ard gutter would have fI to be (lone to move this tree. This excavation would have a serious `r,, { impact on root system of this tree. f � 3 �� 7 f 1. ' SYCA631R.ES There Is one syc, hdre tree 1, - 16 , at this site. ' This ttee,'Aoo, has major bark: damage. '(see phnto.) Ivy: has , parasitically grown around the erit:re trunk -and up, to 40' plus into the "aer'ial canupy _ of this tree. Ivy stems exceed 2" in diameter. These stems har 1. eighty adhered tc the �ycamore11.. k. It' is difficulC. to det m- - -_ the damage to trunk and what damage would occur in removing ivy. ", s`he aerial canopy is_hiddan'from. ivy yrowtA., This would ipdicate that the interior '6ranchit "9" wouid',have� been killed 'due to `laek'of " sunlight. This would leave a skeleton of a tree. This sycamore also s� very large and would not fa.t.praportionOIly'into a 112w' _ landscape. VALUE OR TREES It is "difficul`t to put true: value on + +:°ese trees except'' palms.;:. Devaluation comes from beinq uvergrewn, Door Shape, pear structure, and bark deformities. There is no clear-cut measurement to value these trees.

Value of trees with `trunks great -r, than 12" in diameter is "neasu ed'- at the 4 -1/2' level. Basic value is 522.00 iaer square,ini crass= section of trunk. Palms A,�, valued at s25.OU per foot.

CU NT RE August of 1988, resulted in too material changes: First, " recreational vehicles may no longer be stored (parked for more than 24 hours) within the front yard area. Second,' recreational vehicles stored in 'side or rear :yard arras must be at least partially screened from public view. -The regulations are contained it Subsection 17.08.070 -C of the Development Code (see Exhibit ' ' No Changes have occurred in' public; street regulations - overnight parking of RVs on public streets continues to be restrited. .

Screening: Current regulations are intended to re -lire screening, ' of all vehicle parking and'. storage areas located in the side ce . rear, yard of a residence. Scr,5sr )ing of 'the urea can be • accomplished by a 'view obscuring fence, wall, gate, or with landscaping of, at leapt 5 feet in- height:. Tall vehicles such as motorhomes and boats are not required to be completely hidden from view. General Requirements: The majority of' the 'parking regulations in residential areas apply to all vehicles.: They 'do not deal specifically with recreational vehicles, but are`` applicable. F Vehicle parking is limited to ;improved paved areas, a limited portion of the lot area, and in specific locations such as driveways and enclosed yards. Regulations prohibit the parking or, storage of - oversize commercial vehicles in residential areas completely. Land Use Requirements: Vehicle parking and storage requirements are a part of broader development avid design = standards that govern all aspects, of residential growth.'- These 'standards are intended to ' promote and protect the physical, "social= and economic stability of residential districts. Special consideration is given to the effect: of a use on surrounding properties, with regard to public health, safety, welfare, peace, convenience,- and the reasonable enjoyment of the property. j: .J to FLANNiNG COMMISSION'STAFF REPORT RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE JUNE 27, 1990 Page 3, The City's current regulations reflect a standard than is applied, to all items, of storage in residential area:;. ':Building materials, household items, ,ktorage containers, etc..have been required to be stored within `tc�.' garage or an enclosed yard.', area since the Adoption of the Development Code. Storage requirements` were established to' ensure the ,proper maintenance of residential areas or aesthetic,'heal'th and safety reasons., The requirements for the storage of recreational vehicles was intended. 'to meet this same standard. Recreational "Vehicle Defined: As defined in Subsection 17.084070 -C 9 , a rec'reationai vehicle is any of the followings A non- commercial Vehicle: 1.. Exceeding a gross weight of one and one half (1 &,1/2) tons, 2. Exceeding a width of eighty,(80) inches, 3. Exceeding a'height of seven (7) feet, or.-,.- 4. Exceeding a length of twenty-five (25) feet.* QP A trailer o`r semi- trailer (fifth. wheel trailer). A boat (boat and trailer) 'Any portable recreational equipment. IV. 'REGUUTION IN OTHER CITIES: Many cities have recreational 'vehicle parVing and storage regulations. Most commonly, as with Rancho Cucamonga, these regulations are a part of the general parking requirements applicable.to all vehicles. The range of ,regulations directed specifically at recreational vehicles varies greatly, from , city to city. Also varying greatly is the degree of enforcement that is directed at these regulations. in all cases, matters of public safety receive the highest-priority. Vehicles blocking sidewalks, creating visibility problems or other hazards are the subject of regulation and enforcement. The types of regulations dealing; specifically with recreational vehicles on residential property range from none, to complete restriction from front yard' areas (see, 'Exhibit "B "), Cities such as Fontana have no, specific RV requirements, allowing 'these vehicles to be parked in the same manner as any other vehicle'. In contrast, the City of Upland restricts RVs completely from front yard areas, requiring screpning'to keep the vehicles out of public view. The niajority oy local cities have some restrictions on the storage of RVs in the front 'yard.

Itisintended to provide specific implementation strategies from initial planning through construction and maintenan ze. The purpose of the Trails Implementation Plan is: Q To research and analyze e:dsting trail conditions, problems and opportunities. ❑ To develop a strategy to alleviate trail deficiencies and problems. ❑ To develop preliminary cost estimates for future trail acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation. ❑ To identify funding mechanisms for trail acquisit ,on, development, rehabilitation, and maintenance. ❑ To define the future role of various City departni its in the implepientation of a trail system. 1.2 BENEFITS OF A TRAIL SYSTEM — The developmentof public parks and recreational facilities was identified as one of the most important needsin the communityby the citizens who participaled.' developing the City's ffrstGencral Plan. Theimplementation of a trails system provides significantdirectan<i indirect benefits to Rancho Cucamonga aaa whoki and'to trail user groups in particular. Recreation is cne of the basic necessities of life, maintains the general welfare of the public and enhances the quality of life in the ?ommunity. _ 4 The City has identified eight benefits to the entire community, through the trail system 1- Provides a means of non- vehicuL:r circulationwhich.reduces pollution, noise; and traffic. 2.

An example of alimited facility trail head exists at the confluence ofCummonga and Demens Creeks. HeritagePark provides all of the amenities typically associated witha trail head. Probable locations for these facilities would be at the base of the foothills, to be used as a staging area for persons desiring to strike up into the foothills, such as along the i'ront Line Regional Trail. In addition, two trail heads afi: being proposed as part of the Etiwanda North Specific Pion for the Sphere-of- Influence area above the Etiwanda community. Also, atraitheadisbeingproposedin conjunction with theHan :ee Ridge SpecificPlandevelopment adjoining the City limits with the City of Fontare; north of 24th Street. 3.6 EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES The inajorayof north Alta Loma dnd Etiwanda, including the City's 5phenl -of- Influence, is designated as an " Equestrian /Rural Overlty District." This area is characterized by larger single family lots intended for the keeping of animals to promote a "gentrified" ruraf ifestyle. To service the needs of the equestrian trail users, it is recommended, that equestrian centers be provided with riding rings and training area, in addition to those amenitiesin the trail heads. In particular, t heequestriincentersshouldb2 designed toaccorunodatehorseshows with appropriate facilities, such as judging standF., seating and parking.

Public parkswh!;Z have trail access should provide trail rMated amenities toencourage trail usage, specifically . hitching pods an l waC -ing troughs. The City should also consider establishing a horse boarding and rental facility on City corned parkland to provide the general public with the opportunity to experithce. horse'seck riding. San Beraardino County has lwsed land toay rivateconces imn aireforaboardandrental'facility in "the Mojz.ve Narrows Regional lark.

The facility must have direct access to a Regional or Cumrnunity hiding Trail,preferrabiy at or near the ci mroads of two trails to provide a variety of ride optiGns. 31 F i, BICYCLE TRAI-LS CONCEPT "Recreational bicycle, pedestrian and a uestrian routes can play a major role in the effident circulation i people. As partof the transpd ^cation network, the City has enacted a Master Plan of Trails toprovidea systeev of safe, fructionaI bicycle, pedestrian, equestrian, and secreution;I>, ^ u te,s along roadways and amenities, -,to 14- ~aurage their ise ix alder for Rancho Cu= conga to n?srt non -auto transp.?rtation needs in the future." General Plan, p. M-85 4.1 OVERVIEW The City of Rancho Cucamonga'sGeneralPlan,andotherspecificor community plus, call for thedeve opment of extensive system of bicycle facilities, Bieyclinghas, and will continue to, increase in Rancho Cucamonga, as it has nationally.

The growth of bicycling canteaitributedto the American pubU * desire tostayfit, the widespread popularity of all - terrain (±st tire} bike, which are more comfortable to ride, and women's continued interestineyding .TheBLYsdataindlcates that ther, were20mll ionregularbicycleiiders „2.7rnilhon bicycle commuters, and 7.5 million mountaln Sicyclists in'19M i Theprimaty concern of this plan is to provide citizens with the opportunity tot isydea felyandcorr4ently..An effort has already been made in the provision of a bicycle mute system in Rancho Cucamonga. Approximately 2 miles of shared-road bicycle routes exist. In addition, the City has joint use agreements withtheCountyFiood Contral District for 9 miles of bicycle sails (serviceroads) along Cucamonga and Demens Creeks, and the Alta . Loma Storm Drain and Basins. therefore, this plan focuses upon; adapting the existing and proposed street system and flood channel /utility corridor system to bicycle travel. 4.2 TRIP TYPES BicyclIngopportunities maybe divided into two varieties destinationai and non- destinational. Identifying the purpose of the trip and the ultimate destination is as important as Wentifyi, no,, the type of rider for the purpose of bicycle trail planning. People who bicycle to wort•:, school, personal business (shopping, banking); or to recreational facilities are ” destination" oriented. Non- destinational bicycling would include riding around it neighborhood (less than two hourswith no destination in mind), and bicycling long distances for furi or training (over two hours with no particular destination in mind). In -aying out bicycling trail system, there are four major types of attractions or "destinations ": O MajorRetailConeeentrations- Trips= deforpersonal business areprimarilyattracted toneigOoorhood shoppingcentersandlargemaII& Accessisseldorneasytotheseareas because theyarelocatedktnbusy arterial streets.

For example, Base Lim Road andHigliW Avenue are rneior east-weskcr ss -town corridors whim are essentially two-iane rural highways, east of Haven Avenue. At present, these streets are used extensively by Bicyclists due 4.a a lack 41 s ;itable alternate routes.

Rancho Cucamonga Is also subject to seasonal high wir4s, especially durir jDecemberand January, depositing 'sand and r#irton the madway that is slippery cyclists, 14 { Another factor affecting bicycle trall use is the a-i ailability of secure and convenientbicycle storage. This is of partiicular concern fq; wMUn�tting, shopping, and even trips to the park or school because the bike must be left unattended for an extended pecicd of time.

Transportation projects ar.J land development proposals should consider, and address, bicycle trail needs. 5. Adequate traffic control devices shall be provided for bicycle crossing. 6. Off- streetbicycle trails should use open space corridors, flood control and utility easeme its, and minimize automobile cross traffic where possible. 7. Require provision of village level bike trail systems by developers of plane, ' community /specific plan areas, and their connection to the city-wide network. 8. Bicycle storage lockers should be provided in major employment centers. 4. Storm drains along publicttreets with bike trails should be designed with curb -face inlets or bicycle -safe grates (non-parallel oars) to prevent tires from getting trapped. 10. Railroad crossings on public streetswithbike trails should bedesigned with rubberized padsin theoutside lanes to prevent bicycle tires from getting trapped. 11. Class U and III bike trails along public streetsshould be planned and designed for one -way bicycle travel. 4.5 BICYCLE TRAIL SYSTEM The accompanyingGenerditeua Plan (seeFigure 7), identifies thoselocatlonpwhereblcycle trail facilities are recommended or the typeof bicycle trail identified foreach route is theonewhichmayultimately beappropriate in that location. 71isplan does not intend to limita bicydisrs right to use other roadways, its goal is to develop system of recreational trails which can be used by cyclists of all types. Approximately 34 miles of Class I off - street bike paths are planned. Twenty -seven miles of Class It, striped bike lanes are proposed. The General Bikeways Plan proposes alomst 26 miles of Class III designated bike routes No tall s" ts for Which bicycle trails are necomr tended require immediateimpiementationof thebicyclefadlity indicated. As the community, grows and the potential for bicycle use increases, a street may be signed firstas a designated (Class Ill) route and laterstr ped for on-sb*ei Nzycle lanes (Class H). On some streets, theremaybe several options available for which special factors may preventadete unationoftheappropriatefacilityatthis time.

I -r_ B TRAILS K Bicyclists can be accommodated effectively on roadways with advance plamuting. Many existing scenic roads, with low to moderate Affic volumes and speeds, provide exe—ellent recreatioital cycling. Other factors determining choice ani:, esign of on-street bilm trails are .- truck traffic volume,' accident experience, 'existence of bus rou". and stops, pavement width and rigii".f way availabililty, scenic Oalities, abutiingland use, grade profile, and user characteristics. The Curs General Plan policies eji courage; alternative transportation TE odes, such as commutingby bicycle; thereftwe, bike trells are needed to link residential areas with areas of commerce and industry. 6.5.ADesignSpee9: Generally, streets are designed forhigher sreeds than abicyclist travels, so most streets are suitable for bicycles. 6.5.2 Maximum Grades: Ooose streetswith grades of less than 10%. Where this is notpossible, choose routes with the most gradual slopes. 6.53 Curvature: Streets are generally designed for higher speed& and larger turning radii than are required for bicycles. In certain situations, it may be advisable to widen a curve one to two feet for greater maneuverability. 6.5.4 Surfacing: A smooth surface is essential for bicyclingand existing road pavements are usually adequate forbicycles. Bowevera pavement managementand streetsweeping pWam should addressrepaving rou gh sections, patching holes, and keeping the shoulder dean and stable, A good standard is beat any cradrs, etc., more than one inch deep should be repaired.

Precautions must be taken to assure that drainage structures do not obstruct the pail J bicyclists.. Grate structures that consist of bars running parallel �\) the curb can easily entrap abike wheel and cause a serious accident A number of acceptable designs are available which allow bicyclists to cross safely, including grates with bars perpendicular to the curb and zig-zagging bar grates. 6.5.6 Minimum Width: Class H Bike trails consistof delineating a separate I lamona street for bicyclists. The minimum width should conform to the Callmns Highuvy Design Manual, which is typically 4 or 5 feet. 6.5.70earance: The minimum vertical clearance is 85 feet. Vegetation should be removed wilthin this arm and street furniture, such as lamp posts, designed acrordingly. 6.5.8 Barriers and]Fenceiit- Where a bike route is on a roadwaycrossingiAridge, orabove a giedii slope, a barrier maybeneceswry.

A physical separation, such asa4- footchaiR li* k fence, positive barrier, or island is required to offset the adverse effects of having adjacent bicycles and vehicles traveling in opposite directions to one another. 65.10 %ntexseciions: Bike trails through intersections should be designed for all types of bicyclists, accorWo- dating "beach cruisers" whose riding style is similar to pedestrians, and 5edaus recreational : 'yclists whose actions are similar to motorists., Class R and CL---s M bike trails should be routed along roads with the safest intersections, whenever possible. Traffic engineers should be consulted to redesign hazardous Intersections. 6.5.11 Like Trail Delineation dike trail striping and markings shall conform to the Caltrans Highway Dt. ign Manual. • 6.5.12 Signals: New or modified traffic signals shall be equipped with conveniently located ctrrb t ie buttons. 6.5.13 Lighting: Like Clw,- "bike trails, lightingis mxommended for bike lanes and bike routes. Fortunately, the normal street lighting will usually suffice. 6.6 TRAIL SIGNING Signing is required to let the uw and the public know whem trails sirs Signs maybe used to designate a "trailhead" or starting point, provide directional end destination infortration,;provide warning or regulatory information, and provide general information for the trail user. The following guidelines give examples of signs which maybe used on trails; however, each signing situation should be evaluated individually. 6.6.1 Materials:. The criteria formaterial selection are, durability, ease ofmaint enance, aesthetics, and compati- bilitywiththenaturalenvironrnent. Wood, concrete,andmetal am typical tnaterialsthatmaybe used singularly os in combination. A simple, yet attractive, method of marking a trail route is the use of rustic redwood , 4 'A" osts , with routed lettersorsymbols. Wood is economical tomaxufachm howeverco.na teorme�`sigs nay be appropriate where vandalism is a concern, Metal is appropriate where standard highway signs are used. 6.6.2 Colors: Wooden signs are nomrallybrown with whitelette ring. Other earth tones maybe used; how-ever there mustbe enough contras: b _tween the background 'and the letters for the sign to belegible. Highway sign colors are set in the Manual on uniform Traffic contra Devices (MUTCD) and may also be copied for irail signing, in standard highway signung ,ledis used fc :stopsig sandprohibitionsfyellowisforwarning ;green,movement pennitted directional gaidance, blue, services; black and white, regulation, orange, construction; and yellow, maintenancewarning. 6.63 Size: Highway sign sizes are standardized (refer to MUTCD). 6A4 Location Signs should be located so as to be easily read by the trail user. Signs used to warn motorists should be easily read from Lhe roadway and to provide stopping distance. On bicycle trails, signing should be placed to provide safe stopping and turning distances (zee Bicycle Trail Design Standards: Sight Distance On paved tricycle trails, sign messages may be painted unto the pavements rather thin or in addition to, a sign on a port_ On bicycle lanes or routes on a struts signs should be placed back of the shoulder, providing at least a two-foot cNar shoulderadjac+entto the trail. Signing should beoansolidated whenever possible; it is preferable to have one sign with three messages than three signs with one message each. however, warning or regulatory' signs should not be mixed with other types.

Specifically this lain permits the County to levy a tax of up to $10.00 per horse or mule per year in order to finance the acquisi lion, construction, and maintenance of the County's recreational trails system. Since the majority the City's Regional Trails are also part of the County designated trail system, the City could derive substantial benefit from such a us-r fee, particularly to defray maintenance costs currently bum by the City. However, the County AegionahParks Department encourages local communities to finance their own community trail systems through special tax districts. 823 Crarts: Avarietyof State and Federal fundingpn..jrams exist which may be utilized to implementa. trails program. Some of these are FederalrevenuesbaringmtclertheStateand Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, and the 1988 California Wildlife Coastal and Parkland Conservation Bond Act. The California Park. Recreation. and Wildlife EnhancementActof1990 isaproposedbili (AB145)that,ifpassed, would provide $15 million statewide for " recreadonal trail development for trails recognized in local general p regional p plans, or state plans." $7.5 million each is proposed to be allocated for the 1992 -93 and 1493 -94 fiscal years. The Act would require voter approval on the June 1990 ballot a `a bond issue. Proposition 116 cn the June 5, 1990 ballot, identified as the Rail Transportation Bond Act, is the Clean A:r Trmsrwrtatian Improvement Act of 1990,'£he Act, if approved by California voters, will provide $20 million on a competitive basis to local agencies fa' capital outlay bicycle commuter projects. The Federal Highways Act of 1973 and 19_76 authorized a portion of Department of Transportation Federal Aid Urban Funds to be used for construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities in conjunction with federal aid highwayprojects.Section 141 of theActauthorizesmoniestobeusedbylocalcommunitiesforbikeway 3.Uacause the annu al appropriation to the region, encompassing California, Arizona, Nevada anal Hawaii, emounts to only $ 400, 000, the City should look to other f trading sources first. The Siate Office of Bicycle Facilities administers the Bi cleLv + Account, which reieivesaportionofthetocal 's share of state gas tax revenues. Currently, Class I facilities,(blln- paths)'are given funding priority, but that is expected tochange to reflect the Offiice'semphasison rAhancingbicyrle commuting, and thereforeencouraging Class iI bike lanes. Asacondition forfund eligibility, the City should submit thisTrails Implementation Plan for approval by Cal trans: The grants will fund 90 percent of p; oject costs. Local agencies must provide matching funds for the remaining 10 percent. Funding may be for both planning and construction of the specific proect but cannot be used to maintain bikeways. The Slate Department of Transportation (Caltrans) administers the Late Highway Account Section 156.:0 of the Streets and Highways Code enables Caitrans to construct and maintain nonmotarize�i transportation; facilities approximately parallel inganyState highway wherethe separation ofnonmotorized traffic from motor vehicle traffic will increase the traffic capacity or safety c f the highway. An annual amount is set aside for such facilities (i.e., those designed primarily for use by pedestrians, bicyclistor equestrians) to be used in conjuFcl,on with State highways. 8.2,4 Ceneral Obligation Bonds: Bonds, as a means of financing public facilities, are available for cities far any project considered to be of public benefit.

Obtaining the required two-thirds majority vote may be difficult; however, a random survsyof residents indicated that 67.9 percent felt it is important for the City to continue ' j build a trail system. 822 Special AsizessmentDistrict: California law authorizesa variety of assw&ment procedureswhich can be,, employed to pay for development of major capittai expenditures.

Dedication is a method of acquiring fee simple title to trail lands and is related to police power. In exchange,for grantingapprovalof tractmapsand developmentreview applications,and theteforecommittingGYtyfundsfor the provision and expansions of utilities and services, the City may require dedication of land for trail use. The developer pm fits through the added incentive the trails produce for home purchasers who desire recreational amenity. 8.$.2 Police Power.

Easement,- and joint use agreements are two a!:z2rnrnative methods of acquiring trail rights. Land ownership implies a complicated ser to ;if i,ghtu that the land owner possesses. Mie acquisition of an easement over private landsaffords the Cilythe potential of acquiring some of the..e rights. Usuallyeasements allowa jurisdiction to use private landsforaccessfokutility linesorroadways, Sometimes easements ate d anted 'or recreation purposes such as trail use. The City is empowered by 'he_Qpen Space Easement Actor 1974 to acceptor approve a grant of open space easement from private landowners for trail corridors in return for tax incentives. This program would allow a landowner to receive a charitable contribution' tax deduction for trail easement dedication as a condition of approval for a tract map or development project. The Regional Trail System, and portions of the Community Trail system, should be implemented through joint use agreementswith publicand privateagencies, such as, theSanBernardino County Flood ControlDishict,and the Southern California Edison and Railroad companies, wWch control easements or rights -of- -Way across the City. The City has already inst tutedjointuseagreementsforrecreai- onalpurposesWongtheCummongaC ,seek and Demens Creek ChannB' and is in process of negotiating for agreements on theat:maining channel rights- of-way. The Southern Pacific Railroad line that bisects the City from east- to-west is designated as a future Community Trail on the City's Master Plan r%f Trails. This rail line may be abandoned someday because of infrequent use. UndertheNationaI Trails Actti >nendmentof1983 railroad companies can be compelled ;to "ra(lbank "unused or abandoned segments against possible future need. In the meantime, they can be publicly managed as trails. The Rails -to- Trails Conservancy (RTC) wa3 formed in 1985 to assist government agencies in obtaining and converting unused rail corridors to usable trails. The Southern Pacific /Sante fie Railroad Company has agreed to notify the Rails-to Timis Conservancy of rail abandonments six months before they are officially filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. RTC has pledged, in turn, to notify cities so that earn abando►unent can be analyzed for its value as trail. - 8.3.4 Specific Plans &Community Plans: The Californa Government Code (Section 65<30) allows local governments to prepare specific plansthatwill establish site developtnentm,gulationsincludingareas to remain open space, such as trails and parks. The Industrial Area, Edwanda, and Foothill Boulevard SpecificPlar+shave been adopted by the Oty for selected parts of the community. These Plans include master plans and deal n standards for hlkingx . ding; and bicycling trails. In a similarfashion, the City hasadopted communi ty plans, with extensive trail networks, such as the Victoria,; Tetra Vista, and Caryn planned communities: All of these documents offer rancho Cucamonga the opportunity to provide trails by regulating the design and layout of development se hemes. 8:35 Local Feeder Trails: A special mention is needed with regard to Local Feeder trails. Some of the existing Local Feeder trails arc-designated by the General Plan Master Plan of Trails, and the HiOngand Riding Master Plan -contained herein, as being planned for public user, -s a Community Trail.

Rather, they are intended to list trail mutes of community-wide or regional significance. The Trails Implementation Plan does not propose phases for ch- struction of trail projects. This is due, in part, to Rancho ivamonga's fast growth which has resulted, and*dU continue todoso llticonstructionoftrailsasares uicementof development.
