The Council meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Beverly Authelet Deputy City Clerk (letter not dated) City Council Minutes February 17, 1982 Page 11 Attachment. Dear Mayor Schlosser: Since I stand to be finacially hurt and am directly involved, I hope that you will seriously consider my suggestions regarding the 4 plans suggested for the proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan. I understand that these plans are for discussion purposes only, but I am very worried that the Advisory Committee may adopt the least dense one, or yet down-zone it even further. It is in the best interest of Rancho Cucamonga to develop the Etiwanda section of Rancho Cucamonga. Zoning it so low that proposed developers won't want to touch it, amounts to a building moratorium, which is undesirable for the City. We must plan sensibly and with high enough density to attract developers, which is not easy in difficult and depressed times with extremely high interest rates. We must find housing which is suitable for the young people and the elder citizens, both of whom are easily priced out of the housing market. We can not be selfish and think, "well, I have my house here now, and I want to keep all other people out of the community so I can enjoy the community," and then not let anyone else in to enjoy the same priveleges. Specifically, I think that map 3 is a start in the right direction with these changes: The East Avenue By-Pass should be eliminated, and Etiwanda and East Avenues should be used as the main N/S arteries. This will not detract from their historical significance, but rather will enable more people to see and enjoy these streets. The EABP may never come to be a reality, as the affected property owners are unwilling to give away expensive acreages as free property to the Etiwandans and get so very little in return as proposed. Speaking for myself, our 27 acres on Victoria and East Avenues, is cut up by the EABP. About 2+ acres would be used to put in a 66 foot wide street, leaving a small parcel behing houses which sit on less than 7200 square foot lots. Yet, that parcel is proposed to be zoned low density. This is dis- crimination, when the other houses are not L density. You can't build fancy houses on large lots which are hemmed in by East Avenue, the EABP, the railroad, and have small lots with cheaper houses behind and next to them. It is unrealistic at today's and tomorrow's housing costs and therefore undevelop- able. Therefore, the EABP will not go in unless bought by the City and that is even more unrealistic. That leaves only a property assessment district, for all residents of Etiwanda to purchase the lands, and that again is un- realistic. Another small piece of land in that 27 acres, about the same size, is arbitrarily proposed for LM density to compensate for the donation of the EABP lands, but that does not even take into consideration the new awkward configuration of the remaining land which will be much harder to develop due to the EABP. This is not fair compensation. The last piece of the 27 acres is proposed M along the freeway, but due to its odd size is not really developable either. The whole piece should be zoned Commercial or H due to the freeway which runs along the whole easterly border. FOR GOOD PLANNING, THE WHOLE TRIANGLE (not only our property) FORMED BY THE Freway, East Avenue, and Victoria Avenue SHOULD BE UNIFORMLY ZONED COMMERCIAL OR H DENSITY instead of strip zoning it. Please see enclosed map, red area. Furthermore, I believe that the new proposed ER zoning desingation will be bad for Rancho Cucamonga. It will benefit only those few property owners involved by lowering their property taxes, and thus they won't be paying their fair share of the taxes, but will be using the City and County provided services. That means other property owners have to pay extra. However, if this is acceptable to you, then it must be offset by considerably higher densities elsewhere in Etiwanda to bring in development and revenues.
