If land is developed, emphasis should be centered on improving traffic that will increase in that area.
Too much development now. Quality of life in this City has declined ten fold for my family since moving here due to over building and shifting population along with impact of traffic on local streets.
Concerned about additional traffic, over crowding at schools, increase in crime, etc. and how annexation/development will imoactof our community. Major concern on impact to Police and Fire services and how response times will be affected. How will additional development will impact the council districts in regard to area size & population equity?
We have so little open space left I wish we could just not develop anymore. The traffic is terrible
Remember we have a water shortage and have increased traffic when developments are approved. How is these developments going to impact the city's water!
While I do want our city to gain control in order to prevent problems, I have a concern. Our city is being developed to the point that traffic and services are being overly impacted. I wish we would slow our development down. We pay the price of overcrowded roads and schools when development is allowed at such a high rate. I do like the idea of a conservation/wildlife area. Maybe the coyotes could all move there.
We have too much traffic on the few north and south-bound roadways .... Traffic congestion and related noise at all hours is too high currently.... That issue resolution should be of upmost importance before any more development.
Look at the 210 in the morning 7:30 to about 9:30. Bumper to bumper, all four lanes heading West. East is not quite that dense although it is close. When that traffic merges on to our streets we have frustrating delays. Our lovely town is churning out too many apartments and homes. The density is an encumbrance to our streets, parking lots and our joy in living here.
The City should not move forward with this plan. The "preservation" of open space is a sham to put lipstick on the development pig. The plan as proposed goes against the wise current zoning plan for the east side of the city. Multi-family housing should not be allowed. Lot sizes need to be minimum half acre. Developers (who don't care about our city) have been after these 1200 acres for over a decade and now they want to pack as many housing units into it as possible to stuff their pockets. All 4100+ acres are currently undevelopable open space County land. It is an alluvial plain that is necessary for flood control. Because the developers cant acquire the land without a 4/5 vote from the County BOS, they are trying an end run around the BOS by having our City fund the acquisition of the land and approve the development. If this plan goes forward, quality of life will suffer for all RC residents. Crime and traffic will increase. Dont be fooled by greedy developers.
no more development... way too many houses and traffic and people here now.... stop already...
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.
We have too much traffic and congestion at present. Preserving the land is very important for animals, scenery and the overall feel of our city.
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.
Water supply, fire suppression, law enforcement, and traffic are all key concerns.
Please don’t continue to fill every square foot of RC with high density housing/shops/hotels. Create a plan to make a nice living area for the future. There is already enough traffic and crowding with building residences right on top of each other. Thank you for trying to safeguard the development around RC.
Development? It is so crowded here. Traffic is miserable.
I am very interested in conserving open space and limiting development. From what I have read it seems like a developers dream - the open space conservations doesn't seem to be written invert specific terms. And, what about environmental impact of the the development and infrastructure impacts like water and traffic?
I feel the development need to be NOT small side by side house but preserve the area by only development of homes with .5 acre or more. The congestion and traffic is already too much north of 210
If the city does this and annexation gets approved, they will just allow more houses to be built. I am so tired of watching our once wonderful city turn into nothing more than traffic congestion, overcrowded schools, and an extreme rise in crime. Stop the building and let there be some open space. RC city council will not be happy until every square inch of bare land has a house on it. So sad.
The city should plan to have nice homes that would bring up the property value of the area. These new homes would definitely impact Los Osos high school, Golden Elementary and Day Creek Intermediate Schools. My concern is that the city would zone for apartments or condos and I don't think that this type of housing should be permitted. Residents would not be happy about that. These new homes or businesses would also increase the traffic on Banyan which is very slow due to the amount of cars getting their students to the schools on Banyan. Banyan is a single lane road and a traffic light may need to be added.
The development of the land to include 'some businesses' as noted in the newspaper article would not be a favorable idea. Including multiunit dwellings is not a favorable idea. Both of these will distract from the area's exclusivity. I'm sure the city and developers see this taxation scheme as highly profitable. It is not about the money where WATER and TRAFFIC and CRIME issues are involved.
The residents of Deer Creek are against any land being developed! Our roads up here already can't handle the traffic with the schools and college. We want that land and its habitat to stay as is we will not support this project or any projects to develop uninhabited land in RC
As time goes on and development proposals are submitted, I imagine the city will approve very dense housing which puts a strain on traffic and services. It doesn't matter what people say at public hearings, they will approve very dense housing instead of various densities. As far as conservation, I think real parks and trails are a great idea. However, the city seems to think that open space consists of 'tot lots' and a few benches where adults can gather. Has no one heard of real parks anymore?
We have too many houses and apartments as it is using up precious water and contributing to traffic, etc. More houses in foothills means more fire fighting resources having to be used. I know the city always wants more taxes so the city council can give themselves another raise. Enough is enough!
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.
no more development, traffic is a nightmare already. Why would you want more development?
Open land areas are vital; too many housing developments are being crammed into smaller and smaller spaces which only adds to traffic and diminished natural habitats.
The city is overwhelming our streets with traffic coming from all this high-density development. Everything north of Banyan needs to continue to be 1/2 acre lots.
Leave the land alone. We Don't need the traffic. Rancho doesn't want to turn into Corona.
