A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF
INTENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR REQUIRING RAISED LAND-
SCAPED MEDIAN ISLANDS ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AS
DEVELOPMENT OCCURS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL
BOULEVARD DESIGNATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has adopted a General
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan recognizes Foothill Boulevard as a
major thoroughfare and scenic highway and thus is designated as a special
boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan circulation element presently recognizes
that four or six lane thoroughfares with continuous lefthand turning
lanes are unattractive and intimidating to pedestrians and that landscaped
median islands would provide an opportunity to improve streetscape and
control circulation improvements; and
• WHEREAS, the General Plan indicates that detailed plans are
required setting forth the design standards for each special boulevard.
Therefore, the Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission finds that:
1 . Requirement of raised landscaped median islands on Foothill
Boulevard is needed for implementation of the General
Plan.
2. That such median islands will provide the necessary
improvements for proper traffic circulation as the City
develops and will tend to promote better traffic safety
and control along Foothill Boulevard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1 . The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City
Council approve and adopt a similar resolution setting
forth and adopting policies necessary for the implemen-
tation of raised landscaped median islands along Foothill
Boulevard.
2. That a certified copy of this resolution and related
material hereby adopted by the Planning Commission shall
be forwarded to the City Council .
