IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN • 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. Redlands Some of the aims of the General Plan are to: • Maintain the predominant single-family residential character of the city. • Locate low, medium and high-density uses near regional access routes and employment centers. • Continue mobile home parks. • Encourage residential units in downtown area. • Consider approval of medium-density houses in the East Valley Corridor special development district. • Encourage Planned Residential Developments and Specific Plans in San Timoteo and Live Oak Canyon areas. • Focus development in the “Southeast Area Plan” bounded by Sunset Drive on the north, Alessandro Drive on the west, Live Oak Canyon Road on the south, and South Lane on the east. The Downtown Redlands Specific Plan makes specific proposals for the development of the downtown area between Redlands Boulevard and the I-10 Freeway. This includes two- and three-story mixed-use development in the Town Center District and industrial buildings in the Service Commercial District. In the East Valley Corridor (EVC) Specific Plan, 4,000 acres are planned for commercial and industrial establishments that total 37 million square feet and provide up to 90,000 jobs. The City plans to improve commercial strip development at four places: • Redlands Boulevard west of Texas Street • Colton Avenue west of Orange Street • Orange Street between Colton Avenue and Brockton Street • Mentone Boulevard between Wabash Avenue and Crafton Avenue No expansion on the University of Redlands campus is being planned currently. In the overall traffic scenario, the General Plan mentions need for comprehensive study to reduce congestion issues on the following road network: • Alessandro Boulevard • Sunset Drive July 11, 2007 83
IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN • Timoteo Canyon Road • Live Oak Canyon Road Rialto In the residential category, high-density housing, except that for senior citizens, has brought problems to the city; therefore, extending high-density residential land use is considered undesirable. Yet as more land is available, affordable housing is looked at as an important design element. The City has proposed a new industrial land use zoning category of varying intensity on large portions of vacant land. The City plans to focus redevelopment plans on several vacant in-fill sites along Foothill Boulevard and provide commercial business opportunities in the Central Business District. The document identifies in-fill sites for development along Foothill Boulevard within radii of 1, 3, and 5 miles. The downtown revitalization for $2.8 million is currently underway, and will bring more mixed-use commercial and residential development. After the completion of the I-210 Freeway extension to North Rialto, with four on- and off-ramps, retail and commercial growth is seen as an added advantage on vacant adjacent lands. Currently a moratorium has been ordered on many development proposals along the I-210 corridor; the City planned to lift this action on December 20, 2006, when the Land Use Element was scheduled to be updated. The properties most affected are located east of Alder Avenue, north of Baseline Road, and west of Ayala Avenue; also included are those properties that have frontage on Casmalia or Easton Avenue. Around 1500 acres of land along the I-210 Freeway extensions are marked for development, including the area around Rialto Municipal airport. A new Gateway Center is planned in the East Central sector, between Foothill Boulevard and I-10 Freeway, east of Cactus Avenue. This is a diverse area with some of the city’s oldest development. Caltrans has proposed a Route 30 extension parallel to the Highland Avenue, but due to the lack of a precise planning timeline, an update of the Land Use Element is deferred along this section of the corridor. Bloomington Avenue is one of the city’s most attractive streetscapes but its north-south grid creates a five point intersection with Riverside Avenue, creating confusion and danger for drivers. Its other terminus on Cedar Avenue is congested by traffic coming from and to Valley Boulevard and the I-10 Freeway. The City has the goal of improving this corridor and limiting traffic by measures such as speed limits, crosswalks, signals, and stop signs. San Bernardino The City has approved preparation of Strategic Area Plans to oversee the growth regulation and guidance in certain areas. These Specific Plans are: • San Bernardino Valley College Strategic Area: Bounded by the City of Colton to the west and south, Mill Street to the south and K Street to the north, this strategic area was marked for expansion to accommodate more college students and to explore opportunities for off-campus parking. • Santa Fe Depot Strategic Area: Bounded on the south by Rialto Avenue, I-215 to the east, Viaduct Avenue to the west and BNSF to the north, this land is being planned to integrate historic Santa Fe depot with surrounding neighborhoods and improve aesthetics.
