• PlanRC (PLANRC 2040) — Volume 2: Built Environment, Chapter 1: Land Use & Community Character → Land Use 2021-12-15

  Volume 2, Chapter 1 of PlanRC sets land use Goals LC-1 through LC-7 and uses 'place type' designations organized into Neighborhood, Corridor, Center, and District designations (Figure LC-2, Table LC-1 General Plan Designations, Figure LC-3 Land Plan). Goal LC-1 (A City of Places) seeks well-connected places and prioritizes development for disadvantaged communities, particularly south of Foothill Boulevard, and building on Historic Route 66 (Foothill Boulevard). Goal LC-2 (Human Scaled) requires buildings near the street and a minimum 15-foot ground-floor height where retail is allowed. Goal LC-3 (Fiscally Sustainable) seeks value-per-acre outcomes up to six times higher. Goal LC-4 (Complete Neighborhoods) targets focal activity centers within one-quarter mile and 60 percent of dwelling units within a 1/2-mile walk of goods and services.

• City of Rancho Cucamonga 2021-2029 Housing Element — Housing Programs (HE-1 et seq.) → Housing 2021-12-15

  The 2021-2029 Housing Element's Housing Programs implement its goals. Program HE-1 (Inventory of Residential Sites) restates the RHNA of 10,525 units and a remaining RHNA of 5,298 lower and above moderate income units, relying on the new Land Use Plan for residential capacity, and notes the General Plan including the Housing Element was adopted December 15, 2021. Program HE-2 (Monitoring of No Net Loss) commits the City to a procedure tracking SB 166 compliance, including assumed unit count/affordability on inventory parcels, actual units constructed, and net change in capacity toward remaining RHNA. Program HE-3 (Accessory Dwelling Units) treats ADUs as an affordable option for lower and moderate income households, references State bills AB 587, AB 671, AB 68, and SB 13, and notes the City last updated its ADU ordinance in 2020.

• PlanRC (PLANRC 2040) — Volume 3: Environmental Performance, Chapter 1: Resource Conservation → Conservation 2021-12-15

  Volume 3, Chapter 1 (Resource Conservation) sets Goals RC-1 through RC-7. RC-1 (Visual Resources) protects public views of the San Gabriel Mountains and limits light pollution (Dark Sky). RC-2 (Water Resources) protects groundwater replenishment lands and encourages greywater use. RC-3 (Habitat Conservation) preserves sensitive habitat including Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS), wetlands and creek corridors, and supports expansion of the North Etiwanda, Day Creek, and San Sevaine Preserves. RC-4 addresses cultural resources. RC-5 (Local Air Quality) avoids siting homes, schools, hospitals, and childcare facilities within 500 feet of large emitters. RC-6 (Climate Change) maintains a Climate Action Plan and sets a GHG reduction goal of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 and carbon neutrality by 2045. RC-7 (Energy) requires EV charging in new development.

• PlanRC (PLANRC 2040) — Volume 2: Built Environment, Chapter 3: Open Space → Open Space 2021-12-15

  Volume 2, Chapter 3 of PlanRC establishes Goal OS-1 (Open Space) for a connected network of parks, trails, and rural and natural open space, and Goal OS-2 (Trails). Policy OS-1.1 (Equitable Access to Parks) strives to keep at least one park or public open space within a safe walk from homes and jobs without crossing major streets except at signalized crossings. The element prioritizes new parks in underserved communities and sets a City standard of 5.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 persons. Other policies continue developing Central Park per the Central Park Master Plan, pursue joint use of school, flood control, water and utility lands, and provide wildfire-safety buffer zones. Goal OS-2 extends the multi-purpose trail network using flood control channel and utility corridor rights-of-way, connects to the San Bernardino National Forest, and maintains equestrian trails.

• PlanRC (PLANRC 2040) — Volume 3: Environmental Performance, Chapter 3: Noise → Noise 2021-12-15

  Volume 3, Chapter 3 (Noise) was prepared to meet Government Code Section 65302(f) and addresses both noise and vibration. It establishes Goal N-1 (Noise) for appropriate noise and vibration levels across a range of places. Policy N-1.1 (Noise Levels) requires new development to meet the noise compatibility standards in Table N-1. Other policies require integrated design-related noise reduction before resorting to noise barriers, buffers or walls; discourage non-architectural attenuation (sound walls, setbacks, berms) in pedestrian priority areas; require a project-level noise analysis for development near major noise sources such as roadways, rail lines, aircraft and industrial uses; allow full or partial rail-crossing quiet zones near transit hubs; and require new development to reduce vibration to 85 VdB or below within 200 feet of an existing structure. Table N-2 lists human response to ground vibration (65, 75, and 85 VdB).
