• In addition to restoration projects within Downtown and East Holt Special Study
area, most of the City’s future development is likely to involve build-out of
industrial and commercial uses that will take place in CPA’s 5, 6, and 8.
Unique areas that have special attention for development are:
Rancho Cucamonga
• Grove Avenue Corridor Business Park
• Town Center Study Area
• East Holt Boulevard Study Area
The Land Use Plan aims to achieve two objectives. One is to increase mixed-use development along
Foothill Boulevard and the Empire Lakes area. The other is consolidation of open space preserves.
The following Specific Plans and Planned Communities have been approved:
• Industrial Area Specific Plan: The purpose of the plan is to make guidelines for
industrial development and three zones have been identified in the southern
portion of the city.
