Recitals. 1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the "City") prepared the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan (EHNCP) DRC2015-00751 as a specific plan (the"Specific Plan")to regulate development in an area comprising approximately 4,393 acres extending roughly from Haven Avenue easterly to the City's boundary with Fontana,and from the northerly City limits to the San Bernardino National Forest boundary, and largely in the City's Sphere of Influence (the "Project Area"). 2. A copy of the final Specific Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by this reference. The Project Area is more particularly described in Section 2.2 of the Specific Plan. 3. On July 24, 2019, the Planning Commission opened a duly noticed public hearing on Public Hearing Draft of the Specific Plan, dated August 7, 2019, and continued the hearing to August 28, 2019. 4. On August 28,2019,the Planning Commission re-opened the duly noticed public hearing on the Specific Plan, concluded the hearing on that date, and thereafter, among other actions, adopted Resolution No. 19-50, recommending that the City Council approve the Specific Plan. 5. Following the Planning Commission's public hearing, the Specific Plan was slightly revised to:(1)clarify the expected maintenance responsibilities of public and private improvements within the Project Area; and(2)to restrict density transfers among residential sub-areas until those density transfers reasonably achieved through the Specific Plan's Transfer of Development Rights Program are completed. 6. On October 2, 2019, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the final Specific Plan and concluded the hearing on that date. 7. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. B. Findings. 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct. 2. CEQA. The EHNCP Specific Plan, and the associated approvals (collectively, the "Project") have been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines. The City prepared an initial study and, based on the information contained in the initial study, concluded that there was substantial evidence that the Project might have a significant environmental impact on several resources. Based upon the information contained in the initial Ordinance No. 957 - Page 1 of 6 ORDINANCE NO. 957 EHNCP SPECIFIC PLAN, DRC2015-00751 Page 2 study,the City prepared an EIR for the Project in order to analyze the Project's potential impacts on the environment. A Draft EIR was prepared and circulated for public review and comment, and a Final FEIR was reviewed by the City Council. By separate Resolution No. 19-082, the City Council has: (i)made the required CEQA findings and determinations,(ii)certified the Final EIR;(iii)adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations and (d) adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project. Resolution No. 19-082 is incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The documents and other materials that constitute the record on which this determination was made are located in the Planning Department and are in the custody of the Planning Director. Further, the mitigation measures set forth therein are made applicable to the Project. 3. Based upon all available evidence presented to the City Council during the above- referenced public hearing on October 2, 2019, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. Much of the Project Area is currently within unincorporated San Bernardino County, with a small portion located within the City's limits. Specifically, 4,088 acres of the Project Area are located within the City's Sphere of Influence and 305 acres lie within the City. Approximately 3,494 acres of the Project Area, including portions within the City's Sphere of Influence, are governed by the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, adopted by the City in 1992. b. Development of the unincorporated portion of the Project Area in the City's sphere of influence is currently governed by the San Bernardino County General Plan and zoning regulations,with various portions of the Project Area designated as Resource Conservation,Single Residential, Rural Living, Special Development Residential, Open Space, Institutional, and Floodway under the County General Plan. The portion of the Project Area currently within the City is regulated by the City's General Plan, the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, or both. C. The Specific Plan is comprised of two planning areas: (1) the Rural/Conservation Area generally located north of the Day Creek Diversion Levee to the San Bernardino National Forest boundary and east from Haven Avenue to the City limits; and (2) the Neighborhood Area located south of the Day Creek Diversion Levee to the 210 Freeway and east from the Day Creek Channel past Milliken Avenue. d. The Rural/Conservation Area comprises approximately 3,603 acres within the Project Area and is subject to development standards and strategies intended to conserve and manage the areas as open space. Up to 100 residential units could be developed within the Rural/Conservation area under the proposed development standards, with a Transfer of Development Rights(TDR)program that would allow property owners to transfer development rights for up to 300 residential units from the Rural/Conservation area to the Neighborhood Area. The City Council supports the Specific Plan's goal of preserving the foothills that comprise the Rural/Conservation Area as open space, along with the standards and strategies intended to achieve that goal. e. The Neighborhood Area comprises approximately 790 acres within the Project Area and is subject to development standards intended to promote appropriate and well- designed residential, limited commercial, and recreational development. The Specific Plan permits up to 2,700 residential units in the Neighborhood Area, which may be expanded to 3,000 units depending on property owner participation in the TDR program. Among other amenities, the Neighborhood Area includes a trail network that builds upon the City's existing trail network as identified in the General Plan and Trail Implementation Plan. Development within the Neighborhood Ordinance No. 957 - Page 2 of 6 ORDINANCE NO. 957 EHNCP SPECIFIC PLAN, DRC2015-00751 Page 3 Area is intended to help generate funds to support open space conservation within the Rural/Conservation Area. The City Council finds that the Neighborhood Area is well designed and planned and will help promote the Rural/Conservation Area as open space. f. The City Council finds that the revisions to the Public Hearing Draft of the Specific Plan are minor in nature and do not affect the Planning Commission's recommendation because they do not affect the improvements to be constructed,or the residential density within,the Project Area. g. The City Council has independently reviewed the General Plan Consistency Analysis attached as Exhibit Q to the City Council staff report and included as Table 4.10-2 in the EIR. Based on this comprehensive consistency analysis, the City Council finds that in conjunction with the related documents and approvals associated with the EHNCP(General Plan Amendment DRC2015-00749, Development Code Amendment DRC2019-00459, Zoning Map Amendment DRC2015-00752, Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendment DRC 2015-00750, and Annexation DRC2015-00732), the Specific Plan is consistent with the policies and provisions of the General Plan and will not conflict with any other specific plan. This finding is more specifically supported by the following evidence: i. The Specific Plan would limit development within the EHNCP Specific Plan's Rural/Conservation Area, consistent with the City's conservation goals, as outlined in the General Plan's Resource Conservation Element and including Goal RC-1 ("Encourage stewardship of natural open space areas, environmentally sensitive lands, and agricultural resources") and its associated policies. ii. The Specific Plan's Neighborhood Area is well designed and planned and will help promote the Rural/Conservation Area as open space. This is consistent with General Plan Goal LU-9("Foster a cohesive, healthy community through appropriate patterns and scales of development, including complementary transitions between districts, neighborhoods, and land uses")and its associated policies. h. The land use and development regulations within the Specific Plan are comparable in breadth and depth to similar zoning regulations contained in the Development Code. In terms of breadth, the Specific Plan provides a similar range of zoning regulations as the Development Code. As with the Development Code, the Specific Plan provides regulations pertaining to lot size, setbacks, building height, density, and unit size, as well as required improvements and units associated with new developments in the City. The Neighborhood Area's density limits are based on a minimum and maximum density in each sub-area, similar to the regulatory framework for the Development Code's residential zoning districts. The Specific Plan's zoning regulations are also comparable to the Development Code's depth of regulations. For example, in the Neighborhood Area, the sub-areas range from estate lots to small homes to attached homes. The Development Code includes a range of residential zoning districts that are roughly consistent with the Specific Plan's. The Rural/Conservation Area includes density limits that would be more comparable with the Open Space regulations in the Development Code. In addition, the Development Code's Hillside Zoning Regulations will apply within the Project Area. The Shopping/Retail sub-area of the Neighborhood Area includes comparable uses to those permitted in other commercial zoning districts under the Development Code, particularly the Community Commercial district. i. The administration and permit processes within the Specific Plan are consistent with the administration and permit processes of the Development Code. Development Ordinance No. 957 - Page 3 of 6 ORDINANCE NO. 957 EHNCP SPECIFIC PLAN, DRC2015-00751 Page 4 within the Rural/Conservation Area is subject to the requirements and review procedures of the Development Code's Hillside Development Review provisions. Development within the Neighborhood Area is subject to Planning Commission review pursuant to the Major Design Review process set forth in the Development Code, which is consistent with the regulatory procedures for commercial and residential development under other specific plans within the City. j. Approval of the Specific Plan would not be materially injurious or detrimental to adjacent properties. k. The findings set forth in this Ordinance reflect the independent judgment of the City Council. C. Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows: 1. Decision.

has been prepared to guide land use and shape new development within the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood &Conservation Plan Area. The Plan and its regulations, standards and guidelines have been prepared to predictably implement a community- based vision for the future of the uniquely valuable foothill area of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This Chapter presents the circumstances leading to the preparation of this plan, the process by which analysis, public engagement, planning, and conceptual design work led to the community-based vision for this area, and the planning principles that were derived from that process to inform this plan for balanced conservation and neighborhood development. Oil V "Vill A� 1 .1 The Opportunity The City of Rancho Cucamonga's identity is defined by many factors, key among them its family-centered quality of life,wide range of good housing and employment options, recreational open space amenities, agricultural and rural heritage, and City Goal: Connect and Protect Neighborhoods location at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains with dramatic views of Mt. Baldy and other peaks. Additional City priorities-long part of the City's General Plan-include the The Etiwanda Heights Plan Area represents a unique opportunity to permanently preserve unspoiled views of the San Gabriel completion of Wilson Avenue as a critical east/west corridor through the foothills and mountains, permanently conserve rural open space and habitat resources, secure recreational access to the gap between Day Creek Boulevard and Milliken Avenue,and the extension foothills,while providing unique new neighborhoods that reflect Rancho Cucamonga's heritage. of a trail network from the foothill neighborhoods into the open space This area has long been under San Bernardino County's jurisdiction, and the County must manage millions of acres of rural resources of the foothills and San Bernardino National Forest above.

In 2007,San Bernardino County declared that property surplus and �•" �,� �,�� `�, �� those goals. initiated efforts to sell its property. Conservation has been underway within this area, including the National Forest to the north, the North Etiwanda Preserve, and other lands 2008: County Receives Proposals for Surplus Property conserved as natural open space to mitigate individual development In 2008,the County issued an Request for Proposals(RFP)to solicit proposals projects in the area. However, the conserved lands are fragmented and from land developers interested in purchasing and developing the surplus the quality of those conservation efforts has been hampered by a lack of property. A number of proposals were received, offering a range of prices financial resources. A plan forthe entire area offers the potential for more for the land and proposing a number of combinations of residential and comprehensive, efficacious and better funded resource management. commercial development, along with open space amenities of various types including golf courses, equestrian centers and various types of parks. However,the Great Recession of 2008-2011 intervened and the County placed the land sale process on hold. 2008: City and County Agree - City to Lead Planning Strategy: New Neighborhoods to Fund Conservation In the early 1990s, the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared the Etiwanda I I Throughthe planningand publicoutreach processoutlined inthefollowing North Specific Plan to guide development of the foothill neighborhoods andMS f pages,it became clear that residents were not interested in being taxed to conservation of foothill open spaces.

For Etiwanda Heights, the community has unique architectural and landscape designs that reflect of the heritage of Etiwanda and Alta Loma as a high priority. 1. Architectural Styles (5.10.2-7).

Accordingly,the design guidelines of this section are aimed at achieving those outcomes.They provide direction for the design of buildings, appurtenances and site elements within the Plan area and will provide the basis for discretionary review of all 2.

D. Relationship to Development Standards These Guidelines elaborate on the massing and relative locations of buildings and site elements on project sites,focusing B. Landscape Traditions on the relationship of the building to the project site, the block and the neighborhood. They define the recommended Perhaps Rancho Cucamonga's most striking physical design attribute is its landscape.

Etiwanda Heights' streetscapes and neighborhood open spaces thread together with a network of naturalistic, rocky Bioswole stormwater system along all streets and through parks,connecting to the Camino de las Alturas. Parks and play area landscapes feature boulders and wooden elements that emphasize the natural and rural character of Etiwanda,Alta Loma and the rural foothill environment. Landscape materials are selected to contribute to this design character,for their thrifty use of scarce water resources,and their fire resistance. Maintained turf is part of this palette, but generally reserved for active Plan areas,with compositions of native and adaptive plant materials and pervious hardscapes characterizing most public and private groundscapes. 5 ti / A , �+ . 1883 Chaffey Isle House 1890 Demens Tolstoy House, with mountain view in back 1947 Thomas Winery Etiwanda Heights Historic Home 251 1 ETIWANDA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD & CONSERVATION PLAN CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FINAL 252 5.10.2 Architectural Styles of Rancho Cucamonga A. Definition of style , MASSING Within the Architectural Guidelines,the word "style" is used to denote the overall character of a building brought about MASSING through the combination of massing,ornament,and materials.A truly authentic building within a style is one that uses all of these elements appropriately in conjunction with one another.These principles can be applied to both Residential and Traditional Modern + other building types. Buildings should maintain consistency of style,and should not mix and combine different elements of different styles. c "Traditional buildings" as referred to within the document are those that combine traditional massing with traditional ornament and materials. "Modern buildings"are those that incorporate either modern details, modern massing,or both. a. a For example,a Ranch building is considered modern because,although the windows and doors are often traditional,the $ p t monolithic roofs and sprawling horizontal Fagades are considered modern massing elements. Buildings with traditional LU window sizes and spacing can still be considered modern if the windows are articulated with modern materials such as steel,or built into walls made of modern materials. Many of the hallmark Mid-Century buildings are the product of pairing modern materials with modern massing. i v To design within a style is not to directly mimic a previous building or group of buildings brick by brick, but rather to build c on trends and traditions attributed to a style. Styles themselves are living traditions with great flexibility, and sometimes 2 V are not precisely delineated in the built environment. B. Local Building Tradition Massing and style combinations for Residential Types Spanish Revival Style Home The following pages are intended to illustrate designs characteristic of Rancho Cucamonga variants of five broad American Styles.These illustrations convey the level of detail that is to be provided in the architecture of the buildings, but certainly do not include all possible variations. Southern California has a rich tradition of being habitat for both subtle traditional styles and avant-garde modern styles. JIL Although many of these styles are ubiquitous in California, local communities have adopted variations of styles that arey ., specifically tailored to local climate,geography, and lifestyle. Desert heat has, over the years, resulted in Spanish Revival buildings with more intimate shaded courts and heavily shaded balconies. Ranch and Mid-Century buildings incorporate deep shade recesses and low, moderately-overhanging roof forms. Roof forms are often a good indicator of a building's style because they reveal which structural system is being utilized. Steel systems allow modern buildings to incorporate innovative monopitch roof forms, and, traditionally, heavy timber A and masonry encouraged shallow-pitched roofs with relatively short spans in Spanish Revival buildings. sif Mid-Century Style Home Ranch Style Home 15 a � ��!IIII IIIII llll IIII'' - ing + f 1 r Crafstman House Town-Scale Downtown Streets Simple Spanish Revival Hillside Home Spanish Revival Town Center 253 1 ETIWANDA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD & CONSERVATION PLAN CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FINAL 1 254 5.10.3 Spanish Revival R © HARD FR MH SON" � 1 l T II �I w .. � Description _ it Defining Characteristics The Spanish Revival Style is a hallmark California 0 IN y, 'I O Low-pitched hip or gable roof with eaves facing architectural language with many different variations �■ the street and terra Gotta tile and configurations.The early Spanish missions founded established throughout the state helped to inspire the 0 Low overhang eaves with exposed rafter tails first wave of residential and commercial structures in _ O Wall surface that extends into gable without the style, while the 1915 Panama-California Exposition break helped to introduce certain Baroque elements and 0 more Spanish elaborations to the style.
