Due to community feedback, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council has enacted significant revisions to its proposed annex of 4,000 acres, such as eliminating “multi-family” developments.
Called the North Eastern Sphere Annexation Project (NESAP), the proposal was to incorporate 4,115 acres into Rancho Cucamonga. After negative feedback, it was decided in December 2017 that council staff should review a revised proposal that would eliminate apartment buildings and cut back on office and commercial zoning.
Residents, however, also do not want commercial retail in the annex property. They have made this known via the private Facebook group they have created: “Stop Rancho Cucamonga NESAP”.
Amber MacDowell, quoted in the Daily Bulletin, explained that no commercial or retail developments are wanted by members of the group, who are happy making the journey to Foothill.
The majority of those expressing an opinion want the area used as parks and trails with perhaps some equestrian property and quarter or half-acre residential lots. The city, however, has to keep enough residential property in the proposal to support street and underground infrastructure.
Print shops are often instrumental in situations such as this for getting the word out about the financial aspects of which the public might not be aware.
An outreach plan with public meetings and polling will be held over the next six weeks, with results presented to council in May. A formal review of a new proposal is not likely to occur until January 2019 at the earliest.
