ADJOURNMENT I, Lois Schrader, Planning Commission Secretaryforthe CityofRancho Cucamonga, hereby certify that a true, accurate copy of the foregoing agenda was posted on January 5, 2012 at least 72 hours prior to the meeting per Government Code 54954.2 at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga. STAFF REPORT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 91 RANCHO ' Date: January 11, 2012 CUCAMONGA To: Trails Advisory Committee From: Larry Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner/Trails Coordinator Subject: TRAIL PRIORITIES ANNUAL REVIEW DRC2011-01126 BACKGROUND: A. Trail Priorities: The City's Trails Implementation Plan adopted in 1991 sets forth trail improvement priorities which are to be reviewed each year to adjust priority based upon urgency, availability of funding, and revised cost estimates. In 2010, following receipt of priority comments from the Alta Loma Riding Club (ALRC), the Engineering Department proposed a multiyear priority list which was approved (Exhibit A). Because of favorable construction bidding, many projects were completed prior to the review of the 2010 list. After the Trails Advisory Committee met on October 13, 2010, the recommendations were considered by the Engineering Department and their recommendations were forwarded back to the Trails Committee. The Trails Committee reported on their action for the consideration of the Parks and Recreation Commission then subsequently to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission's action was then forwarded to the City Council as part of the City Engineer's Annual Budget recommendations. However because of budget constraints no Projects were funded in the 2011-2012 City Budget. The previous recommended priorities appear valid with one recommended addition. In 2011 a resident of Whirlaway Street near Archibald Avenue requested that a continuation of the Archibald Community Trail from the existing trail at the northern portion of the lot on Norbrook should be extended north to the north end of the lot at Carrari Street. This section on the west side of Archibald Avenue would then complete the Archibald Community Trail connection to the lower Almond Community Trail parallel to Carrari Street. The requested addition would be very beneficial from a public safety stand point and from a maintenance cost reduction aspect (by removing City Maintained Landscaping). B. Funding: Trail projects are generally funded as Capital Improvement Projects. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding the proposed trail priorities as modified to the Parks and Recreation Commission and subsequently forward to the Planning Commission, the City Engineer, and City Council as part of the 2012-2013 budget process.
