Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cucamonga public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues in development with high priority
Arrow Route industrial development agreement
Five industrial buildings totaling nearly 1.8 million square feet on the old CMC steel site along Arrow Route. It brings big fees ($26M+), a new electrical substation site, and union construction jobs, but the EIR flags unavoidable air quality and traffic (VMT) impacts.
135-townhome Development Neighborhood Access
Residents near Hermosa Avenue and Foothill Boulevard urged the city to require a proposed 135-townhome development to use Foothill Boulevard as its sole access, fearing cut-through traffic would endanger children in their neighborhood. The project has not yet gone to the Planning Commission.
Toll Brothers 188-Home Project Appeal (East & Wilson)
SAFER appealed the Planning Commission's approval of 188 homes on pre-graded lots, arguing newer air-quality mitigation measures require supplemental environmental review. The council disagreed, finding the 2004 EIR still governs the already-approved and graded subdivision.
Mobile Home Park Accord Renewal
A restated accord extends rent and stability protections for residents of seven mobile home parks for another ten years. Residents showed up to thank the city and staff for the work.
