WHAT IS THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE?

INTRODUCTION

The Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Update is a blueprint for the future City of Rancho Cucamonga. The  process for the Update involved extensive involvement by the community. Efforts prioritized determining values and ideas for the future of the City and there were many opportunities for participants to express their visions, collaborate with neighbors, and explore possible innovations in housing, transportation, recreation, and economic development throughout each planning phase. 

The Rancho Cucamonga General Plan is separated into three volumes that are subsequently divided into topical chapters. The content of the chapters corresponds to the state requirements for the contents of a general plan. To review the General Plan in it's entirety, click here.

VISION

Our vision is to build on our success as a world class community, to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive.


 

COMMUNITY VALUES

While people make up a city, it is only when people come together and become a community that cities achieve their full potential. It is no surprise, then, that a good plan is based on the foundational values of a community and takes input from the wide diversity of people, businesses, community groups, and other organizations that make up the totality of the community.  These values are the pillars upon which the vision rests.

  • Health | Make choices about our communities that shape the places where we live, work and play, and ultimately improve our chances for living long, healthy, fruitful lives. 
  • Equity | Craft a city that allows everyone to have a fair and just opportunity to thrive, regardless of factors such as race, zip code, gender, age, etc. 
  • Stewardship | Efficiently utilize our finite, non-renewable natural & financial resources and resiliently rebound from environmental, economic, and public health shocks.

BIG IDEAS

To successfully achieve the City’s Vision and uphold the core values identified
by the community, this General Plan is designed around strengthening Rancho
Cucamonga’s sense of identity and character by creating places where people
want to be and improving their ability to move around. The following big ideas
are considered critical to meeting the vision and core values for the community:

  • Design for People First
  • Provide Connectivity and Accessibility
  • Create Destinations
  • Establish Rancho Cucamonga as the Cultural Hub of the Inland Empire
  • Address Environmental Justice

IMPLEMENTATION

Accompanying the contents of this document is an Implementation Strategy for the General Plan under a separate cover. As many of the policies in the General Plan can be implemented in a variety of ways, the implementation strategy allows for flexibility and creativity in achieving the vision. It is expected that implementation strategy will be updated more often than the General Plan. You can view the Implementation Strategy here.
