• Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan: The purpose of this plan according to the General
Plan is to provide a “broader mix of land uses than was originally permitted within
the Industrial Area Specific Plan.” On the south of the Plan area is Fourth Street,
on the east is Milliken Avenue, on the north is Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
(AT&SF) Railroad, and on the west is Cleveland Avenue and Utica Street.
• Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan: The plan proposes a series of activity centers
and gateways, linked through a unifying suburban parkway design.
• Etiwanda Specific Plan: This rural area is located in the northeast corner of the
city and the purpose of the Plan is to ensure long-term rural character.
• Etiwanda North Specific Plan: The General Plan aims to make open space a
prominent feature in these 6,840 acres of land, located just above the Etiwanda
Specific Plan area.
• Victoria Community Plan: With Victoria Park lane as the central corridor, the City
plans to build residential villages and related uses in the 2,150 acres of land
bounded on the north by Highland Avenue, the east by Etiwanda Avenue, and
the south and west by the I-15, Arrow Route, Base Line Road, Milliken, Southern
Pacific Railroad tracks and Deer Creek.
• Terra Vista Community Plan: This central core area is planned for a mixed-use
development along Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue.
The most visible change from the General Plan is the approval of more than 700 acres of mixed-use
development in the city.
The Circulation Element proposed a coordinated effort to make 6 th Street a new interchange to alleviate
congestion problems at 4 th Street and Foothill Boulevard. Omnitrans provides six fixed route services and
Access services to the city residents, and the City mentions the agency’s proactive effort in improving the
transit scenario.
