Mixed Use development may occur in two ways: 1) as a combination of uses in a single development project on a single parcel of land; or 2) as a combination of uses on multiple parcels within a specified district of the City. In either case, the intent is to achieve a complete integration of the uses and their support functions into a common concept. The effect of mixed-use development in the nine opportunity areas in which it is applied is to create special urban places within the general suburban pattern of single uses somewhat isolated from each other. While such a mixture would not be feasible over extensive portions of the City, it can be desirable ' within limited, focused areas. The expectations commonly required of mixed use developments through site planning, design, and use configuration is that they: 1. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian movement into and within the site. 2. Provide uses that are interconnected rather than being rigidly separated. 3. Include uses that are highly urban in character, with generally higher intensities of use than in surrounding areas. 4. Contain usable public open space that is highly accessible and convenient to residents and visitors. 5. Express a common design theme that may be carried out by architectural styles, landscaping and lighting treatment, street improvements and street furniture, or other means of unifying the development. This does not precluded an eclectic mix of architectural styles; only that the development be tied together in its physical form by some means. 6. Involve a variety of scales and spaces to provide interest and diversity in the environment being created. 7. Include an integrated circulation system of arterial access, internal circulation, parking facilities, pedestrian pathways, bicycle routes, transit stops (where applicable), and related signage. It is intended that movement within the entire opportunity area be feasible on site without being forced to CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA GENERAL PLAN Page III-30 The Planning Center P:ICRA-01.OGIMarch 2002 Final GPIGP LU Master Report for pdnting.doc October 17,2001 use adjacent arterial highways to move to other portions of the mixed-use development. 8.

Exhibit considerable flexibility in design in achieving maximum site potential and sensitivity to adjacent uses. 9. Apply CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles to provide both the reality and perception of public safety. 10. Provide a unique and engaging experience for both residents and visitors, similar to those often found in older cities. Each application of the Mixed-Use designation on the Land Use Plan has a specific intent. Therefore, the guidance for each one is tailored to that area. A land use table is provided for each mixed-use designation to establish the uses to be permitted and the general area to be devoted to each use. Flexibility is provided in the ranges to permit combinations of uses at a variety of overall intensities. Unless otherwise specified, the most intensive combination is the most desirable. The six areas designated for Mixed-Use development under these provisions of the General Plan are: 1. The Regional Center area, bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Base Line Road, 1-15 and the Day Creek Flood Control Channel; 2 A "Town Center' node at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard; 3. The north side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Hellman; 4. The western entrance to the City along Foothill Boulevard in the area generally know as Bear Gulch; 5. The Terra Vista Mixed Use Area, located along Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard; and 6. The Industrial Area Specific Plan, Subarea 18, generally located west of Milliken Avenue, south of the railroad tracks, north of 4th Street, and east of Utica Avenue 7. The Foothill Boulevard — Cucamonga Channel Area, located at the base of "Red Hill," located near the Historic Route 66 Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. 8. This Historic Alta Loma — Amethyst Site, on the east side of Amethyst Street between the neighborhood elementary school and the original commercial center. 9. The Haven and Church site, located on the south side of Church Avenue, between Center and Haven Avenues. Once the location of a San Bernardino County Flood Control District retention basin, the site was declared surplus because of drainage improvements within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and became available for private development. EXHIBIT B-3 III. DEVELOPING THE COMMUNITY 2.5.5.7 Foothill Boulevard-Cucamonga Channel Site This 7.24-acre site is significant within Subarea 1 of the Foothill Boulevard Districts. At the southern base of "Red Hill," the site is strategically located near the northwest corner Historic Route 66 Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. Like other newly designated Mixed Use districts, this site presents an opportunity to expand commercial office activity, while providing an opportunity for new multi-family development in the City. The following table specifies the uses and range of development that is anticipated to bring positive aspects to revitalize the area.

Once the location of a large citrus packing house, the site, now vacant, is strategically located on the east side of Amethyst Street between the neighborhood elementary school and original commercial center. This vacant parcel presents an opportunity to bring new activity into the historic town center either with new commercial office ventures, or with new multiple family developments, possibly aimed to provide housing for our growing senior citizen population. The following table specifies the uses and range of development that is anticipated to bring positive aspects to revitalize the area: TABLE 11141 ALTA LOMA AMETHYST MIXED-USE Land Use Mix %Range Acreage Range Medium-High Residential 0%-100% 0—3.24 acres 14-24 dwelling units per acre Office 0%- 100% 0—3.24 acres City Of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Page 111-43 October 17, 2001 1APLANNIN611 ARRIIGENERAL P1ANIFina12003 GP LU M.v(, - - Repon.doare446.doe EXHIBIT B-4 i 5 2.5.5.9 Haven, and Church Site This 14.77-acre site is located on the south side of Church Avenue, between Center and Haven Avenues. Once the location of a San Bernardino County Flood Control District retention basin, the site was declared surplus because of drainage improvements within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and became available for private development. The site represents a transition area between single family residential to the north and west and industrial/institutional (CVWD Maintenance and Office Facility)to the south and future Office uses across haven to the east.

DEVELOPING THE COMMUNITY City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan October 17,2001 Page 111-141 AICRA-01.OGLifarch 2002 Fina(GPIGP LU Afaster Repor!for printing.doe Various youth sports leagues have been assigned fields at particular schools for games and practice. This has been necessary because there are not enough athletic fields at City parks to accommodate the large number of children participating in organized sports. Although the City is not party to the use agreements between schools and sports leagues, we can and have provided support to the organizations in seeking joint-use agreements and improvements to the school sites. Our City maintains a park standard of five (5) acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66477, also known as the Quimby Act, we are able to collect three (3) acres of parkland or in-lieu fees from new residential subdivision, for every 1,000 residents. Pursuant to the Quimby Act, we have adopted a Local Park Ordinance (Ord. No. 105) that contains the provisions and procedures for implementing park and recreational land dedication requirements. In order to reach our objective or standard of five acres per 1,000 residents, we must pursue alternative funding sources for adding park acreage and/or park improvements. Such sources include general fund revenues, developer impact fees, state and federal grants, user group contributions, and school district joint-use contributions. Other methods for supplementing our park system include encouraging the development of private open space and recreational amenities (beyond public park requirements) to be incorporated in large residential projects. We should also seek to improve access and facilities at local school sites so schools can handle a greater demand for certain activities such as sports leagues. School grounds and facilities are an important part of our recreational system and can be counted, to a limited degree, towards meeting our parkland standard. We are currently and will continue to pursue the joint-use (or ultimate use) of utility district lands, for both parks and trails uses.
