Rancho Cucamonga has become a MONEY HUNGRY CITY, truly sad. Current homeowner's are not allowed to do with their property without the city having a say as to RV parking, Trailer parking on our driveways. Fontana is looking more promising and offers more to their residents than Rancho Cucamonga does.

Leave the land alone! We already have way too many people and too many uninhabited dwellings in Rancho Cucamonga!

I am very much afraid that once Rancho has control over this area that it will be far too easy to change the protected status of the foothills area.

NO FRICKING WAY......RANCHO IS ALREADY MAKING VERY POOR DECISIONS ON BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA HAS GONE TO CRAP. STOP ALREADY. I HATE LIVING IN THIS CITY ANY MORE AND CAN'T WAIT TO LEAVE. JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR MORE COYOTES TO COME DOWN INTO OUR LIVING SPACES. CITY MANAGEMENT HAS LOST IT.

STOP ... urban sprawl ! Stop development. Enough IS Enough. Just because you Can build there .. does NOT mean you Should. Related: No One in Red Hill, East Upland and North Ontario wants the Sycamore Heights development to happen, for a myriad of valid reasons, all of which were totally ignored by the antiquated City Council members (except one) at the hearing last week. The Sycamore Heights project is totally outrageous and against the will of the PEOPLE ... who voted for the current Council members. But AS USUAL ... Follow The Money Trail. It's totally clear the City Council of Rancho Cucamonga cares nothing about the people.

Rancho is big enough

any development should include green spaces within the properties - right now, Rancho does a very poor job of developing new areas with sufficient green space for the local resident or business and parking - the minimum requirement are not sufficient.

Please maintain the high standards our City has demanded in the past. Randall Lewis is nice and everything but he doesn't, and won't, live in Rancho Cucamonga. What's good for us needn't be sacrificed for what is good for the Lewis Operating Companies.

We need to conserve the wildlife areas in the north. I understand the need for growth and development in the area around Los Osos HS with a high demand for traffic infrastructure and consideration of lot size to avoid over population and density in an already heavy residential area. Traffic is a major concern with the 210 and 15 corridor and no room for lane growth on the 210. It is already heavy. So I would propose an area like San Elijo, Ca near Carlsbad which has its own commerce to limit commuting and drive local revenue and employment and offer a more exclusive residential environment which I think Rancho Cucamonga is known for.

I oppose this annexation, Rancho is too crowded already. The RCWD is always skiing us to concerve water because they do not have enough water to fill at the current needs.

There is already enough building in Rancho Cucamong. Schools over crowded, crime, traffic, etc. 3000 to 4000 HIGH DENSITY housing units at the Lakes, by Lewis, empty business rental sites. Enough building already.

This project has raised significant suspicion among residents that it is a thinly veiled boondoggle that will enable further relatively dense development in the area. Any annexation should be done so as to prohibit any future private sector development. In addition, putting this project forward as a ballot item would assure that the public has a voice that cannot be suppressed or ignored or discounted by existing officials. Of course there would need be clear discussion of all the costs involved and their impact on the individual Rancho Cucamonga residents.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga should work to improve services and development and of the West and South parts of Rancho Cucamonga. It is very obvious that ONLY the North East side is considered worthy of care and investment - From landscaping, parks, recreational facilities, positive policing, road maintenance, and general upkeep, those in power are creating two different Rancho Cucamongas, Shame on You.

I like the conservation aspect, however not crazy about more development in Rancho.

-I love to see the foothills conserved. They are the best part of living in Rancho Cucamonga. -I would like to see more trails be clearly designated for foot hiking. It is unclear where people are allowed on a lot of them. -Above all, please protect the area at the top of Beryl from development.

Rancho doesn't need more housing. It is too crowded in this wonderful town. All of the open fields of beauty are being developed into housing. The beautiful golf course was eaten up by development. The infrastructure is not built for the number of people that now live here. Concrete and asphalt keep in the heat from the sun during the day, so it remains our area doesn't have a chance to cool down in the evenings. Leave land open so the heat from the day can be "eaten" into the ground and cool down the evenings.

I believe the priority should be to plan for land use which results in either revenue generating capital improvement or open space. While these concepts may seem in conflict, here's my rationale. Residential growth is typically more burdensome on infrastructure than the property tax revenue it generates. Additionally, unless the goal is to increase revenue generating developments which draw residents, businesses and visitors to Rancho, the emphasis should be on preserving the beauty of the foothills. I major benefit to living in RC is the still untouched 'mountainscape' and ability to quickly find a zero density hiking trail or two within minutes of home and services.

My concerns of adding 1,200 developed acres, residential and commercial, there WILL BE traffic nightmares. There is already constant traffic in this area. Especially when school is commencing or ending. The housing developments to the West (Deer Creek, Compass Rose, etc.) will definitely be impacted. I’m sure part of the proposal will be to allow westerly street access via Wilson & Hillside for people wanting to travel to the west. This is NOT FAIR to people who already own homes in this area. Especially Hillside Rd. I don't feel existing or even improved infrastructure will help. Traffic will be a nightmare. Our streets are already extremely crowded, as is the 210 freeway. PLEASE RETHINK PUTTING HOMES IN THIS AREA. Can’t you leave it alone and make it all conservation area?? Maybe add trails and parks. Leave some area in Rancho the way it used to be. Don’t continue to make it a concrete mecca. If you can’t leave it alone, maybe the county would have a better plan.

The conserved land is too costly to develop, and should not be developed. I trust the SB County more not to develop the conserved land, than I do the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The planners at Rancho Cucamonga are more interested in developers and less in the citizens of the city (and that is known by experience). Plus for the city to waste tax payers money on such undevelopable land, it's like having a fire department that rapes the city for benefits, but uses the county's Sheriff department to control local crime. Why not have a county Fire Department instead. Oh, we have councilmen benefitting from the city fire department.

I would like to see more of it conserved with better parking for those who wish to hike. Charge those who do not live in Rancho Cucamonga.

A golf course even a nine hole would lead be great. All of Rancho’s golfers are contributing to other cities instead of our own. Even other youth sporting activities would benefit the city. Fontana serves its citizens in parks and recreation better than Rancho Cucamonga

Dear City Council members. The Streets of Rancho Cucamonga are already crowded and congested. Why is it that every small piece of land has to be developed. Why can't the area stay in its natural state? When I moved here in 1982 this was the best place in the world to live. I can no longer say that. Take the developers cash filled hands out of your collective pockets. This response is constructive and respectful, I wonder if it will see the light of day

We do not need more development in Rancho Cucamonga. We are over populated and do not need more building.

Leave the land alone. We Don't need the traffic. Rancho doesn't want to turn into Corona.

I am ok with development as long as there is a significant portion going to preservation of land for wildlife and as long as the follow current standards for building and developing of Rancho Cucamonga
