C. Internal pedestrian circulation,linking office complexes with neighboring comma- .
cial or office developments,should be located close to buildings.
d. 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.
e. Water conserving plantings and irrigation shall be used in all landscaped areas.
(Rda to City Ordinarue No.411-Xeriscape.)
4. Streetscape Ughting:
a. 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
streetsrape design.
b. 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 Planning Commission.
Materials shall be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme.Poles and supporting hardware shall be
consistent with City standards.
C. 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.
IV. CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS
A. 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 in the following areas:
■ Increased vehicular capacity
■ Increased vehicular/pedestrian safety
■ Increased vehicular mobility
■ 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 safety analysis and subject to the
review and approval of the City Engineer.
B. Med(an Design -The 14-foot wide median shall be designed to provide access control and a
unifying landscape statement The median will feature two basic types of planting.Accent tree planting
(Crape myrtle),underplanted with a low evergreen groundcover,will be provided at median noses.Ever-
green trees(Rhus lancea),underplanted with shrubs and groundcover,will be planted throughout the .
balance of the median.(See Figure 6.)

D. GENERAL GUIDELINES*
L Site Planning:
a, 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.
b. 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.
C. All auto related facilities(i.e.working bays,storage,etc.)shall be oriented/screened
away from public view.
d. Buildings should be oriented to encourage restaurants,services,limited retail uses(as
permitted by the applicable Community or Specific Plan),and other high intensity pedestrian uses on the
ground levels of all buildings within activity centers.
2 Parking Lots:
a. Whenever possible,entries shall be located on side streets in order to minimize pedes-
trian/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.
. b. Parking access points,whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets,shall be
located as far from street intersections as possible.
c. Parking areas shall be designed so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving vehicles
and minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles.
d. Individual project parking areas shall be linked with on-site driveways which are
clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors.New development projects shall delineate on all plans
where vehicular connections to adjacent properties are located.The applicant must also demonstrate provi-
sions for access easements for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with approved
master plans.
e. 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 Design:
a. All street furniture,light standards,bollards,and similar hardware within 10 feet of
the public right-of-way shall be painted a color chosen as the Foothill Corridor Theme Color.Sign faces may
vary and match related architecture.
b. A colorful landscape edge shall be established at the base of buildings Asphalt edges
at the base of structures are prohibited.Plant materials in containers are appropriate.

B. SUBURBAN PARKWAYS:
1. Streetscape:
a. The parkways will be designed with informal clusters of trees,rolling turf berths,and
meandering/undulating sidewalks evoking pastoral,suburban qualities. TX.} QjJeAA
b. 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 FBSP area -

(300LEoVP1,RcL1T6G VISd4L /MPRdIE.,L4Wr FZA-0l .
2 Architectural Concept:
a. The architectural characteristics shall be governed by the existing standards of the
Development Code,TVCT,VCP,and ISP. -
b. 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.
3. Landscape Concept:The plantings will consist of informal treatments,dominated by
London Plane(Platanus acerifolia),California Sycamore(Platanus racemosa),and Flowering Plum(Prunus
c�asifera)tines.Other species may be used to accent and/or supplement these designated tree types.7'he
type and location of these species should be reviewed in conjunction with specific development proposals.
C. 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
canters with the informal landscape and hardscape treatment of the suburban parkways.Specifically,the
parkway transition is characterized by a 75-foot 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.

4. LandSCape Concept: 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 centers and shall define these areas as being higher intensity,urban districts.The plantings shall
consist of an offset double row of Gape Myrtle(Lagerstroemia indica)trees along each road frontage.Addi-
tional plant materials(evergreen canopy trees,palms,etc.)may be introduced to supplement the Gape
Myrtle as a backdrop.The type and location of the additional materials should be based on the particular
buiding design,scale,and setback.

2 Site Planning:
a. 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 proldbited.
b. 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.Examples of these
elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings.(Milliken&Rochester only.)
C. Buildings shall be designed to eliminate a fragmented,strip commercial appearance
and should be oriented to the activity center(Milliken&Rochester only).
d. 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 only).
e. Structures,pathways,and landscaping shall be incorporated within the site so as to
ensure ease of access from one site to adjoining ing sites in a safe manner.
f. Building entrances shall be designed to accommodate logical pedestrian access from
the Foothill Boulevard right-0f--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 Concept:
a. Within individual activity center, the architectural style should be consistent to
provide continuity of design at the intersection.
1. Milliken Activity Center-There are no existing buildings located at the Milliken
activity center intersection.As a result,the Development Review process will establish the flavor for the area
when reviewing the 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
corner(s)of the intersection..
2. Rochester Activity Center-New proposals shall consider and respect the
architectural style of existing buildings.For example,the Aggazzotti Winery at the southeast corner of
Foothill and Rochester,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.
b. Differentiate the ground floor facades from the secondfloor 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.

III. DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. ACTIVITY 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 Figure 2

Figure 2 -Activity Center Locations
Because three comers of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed,the devel-
opment 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:
a. 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 arrange-
ments,and pedestrian level lighting. ��X f addt:J

C. The concept within the activity center is to incorporate a formal,regularly spaced,
street tree planting system utilizing a palette of informally shaped,colorful trees.
d. 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 streetscspe should be able to adjust to changes in public right-
of-way conditions,such as right tum lanes and bus bays.

EXHIBIT"A4"
II. COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT
• The Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement is intended to extend the concepts of the Foothill Boule-
vard Specific Plan to the"mL%ing link"through the creation of a dynamic concourse that is attractive and of
high quality with a unifying community design image reflective of the community heritage and identity,
providing an economically viable setting for a balanced mixture of commercial and residential uses with safe,
efficient circulation and access.
A. GOAL:
Create a community image that expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho
Cucamonga
B. OBJECTIVES•
Develop a streetscape system which designates major intersections as activity centers and emphasizes
the suburban parkways between the activity centers as vehicular areas.
Promote compatible building elevations which afford a human scale at pedestrian areas and provide
transitions to buildings of greater height,while protecting adjoining residential conditions.
Promote appropriate landscape treatments throughout the corridor,particularly those that are low
maintenance,drought tolerant,and wind resistant within intense urban conditions.
Provide for the control of visually objectionable views,such as outdoor storage and loading
areas,through proper site design and screening.
C. POLICIES:
Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes which are sensitive to creating a"heritage"
statement for Foothill Boulevard.
Require compliance with community design guidelines in plans for new development and expansion
or redevelopment of existing development and make community design a major consideration in site plan
review and approval.
Utilize landscape materials which are clean,safe,wind resistant,and relatively low maintenance.
Formal forms and configurations should be utilized at activity center nodes while less formal configurations
should be utilized throughout the parkway links between nodes.
Designate special landscape and architectural features at major intersections.Combine thematic
plantings with contemporary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive character for the
activity centers.Changes in paving materials,lighting,signing,and siting of adjacent structures should occur
at major intersections to enhance their distinctiveness.

le INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THIS SUPPLEMENT ABOUT?
On September 16,1987,the City Council approved the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan WBSP).The
FBSP was enacted to provide a unified development scheme for the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the
community.Of prime importance to the FBSP are the special streetscape design provisions which"tie"
together the visual aspects of this commercial roadway.

Figure 1 -Missing Link Area
The portion of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and the Interstate 15 Freeway(1-15)was
not a part of the specific plan study;therefore,its provisions did not apply to the development of this"miss-
ing link."At the time of the FBSP approval,the City Council and Planning Commission expressed a desire to
include significant design provisions of the plan in the development of the"missing link."This amendment
to the Terra Vista Community Plan('NCP),the Victoria Community Plan(VCP),and the Industrial Area
Specific Plan(ISP)is proposed to include specific streetscape design provisions of the FBSP in the develop-
ment of the properties adjacent to Foothill Boulevard.
WHERE DOES IT APPLY?
The following provisions will apply to all properties bordering Foothill Boulevard within the TVCP,
VCP,and LSP.This amendment augments the development regulations and standards of the TVCP,VCP,and
ISP.When an issue,condition,or situation occurs which is not covered or provided for in this amendment or
provisions of the TVCP,VCP,or ISP,the regulations of the Development Code of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga that are most applicable to the issue,condition,or situation shall apply.
