Home My WebLink About89-28 - Resolutions RESOLUTION NO. 89-28 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT AND FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 89-02, REQUESTING TO CHANGE THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND FOOTHILL BOULEVARD INTERSECTION, AS SHOWN IN THE SPECIFIC PLAN, BY THE REALIGNMENT OF RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE TO APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET EAST OF THE PRESENT INTERSECTION WITH FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, BASED UPON AN IN-DEPTH ENGINEERING STUDY. A. Recitals. (i) The City of Rancho Cucamonga has filed an application for Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Amendment No. 89-02 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Amendment is referred to as "the application". (ii ) On February 8, 1989, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application. (iii ) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part "A", of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on February 8, 1989, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a) The existing skewed intersection of Red Hill Country Club Drive 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 traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard. The preferred realignment as shown in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan is not feasible. A feasible realignment has been determined by an in-depth traffic engineering study. The proposed plan is to realign Red Hill Country Club Drive to approximately 400 feet east of its present intersection at Foothill Boulevard.

The property on the south side of Foothill Boulevard from Grove Avenue to San Bernardino Road is zoned special commercial and from San Bernardino Road to the Southern Pacific railroad crossing is zoned community commercial . North and south of these commercial zones are residential areas. c) This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and d) This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and e) This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraph 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a) The amendment does not conflict with the Circulation policies of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and b) The amendment promotes the goals of the Circulation Element of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and c) That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan; and d) The amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties. 4.
