Subarea 29 Specific Plan Amendment

Subarea 29 Specific Plan Amendment

The proposed Subarea 29 Specific Plan Amendment Project (Project) would allow for the creation of new PAs 32, 33 and 34 within the Expansion Area, and the development of a middle school and up to 1,315 detached and attached homes in this area. In addition, the Project would involve amendments to the Subarea 29 Specific Plan for existing PAs 30 and 31 to allow for the development of an additional 155 dwelling units (an increase from 197 units to 352 units). Therefore, there would be a net increase of 1,470 units allowed within the amended Specific Plan Area (an increase from 2,418 units to 3,888 units). The Specific Plan land use designation for PAs 30 and 31 would be changed from Conventional Large Lot (3-6 dwelling units per acre [du/ac]) and Conventional Medium Lot (4-6 du/ac), respectively, to Mixed Residential 11.1-25 du/ac. New PAs 32 and 33 would also have a land use designation of Mixed Residential (11.1-25 du/ac), and PA 34 would be designated School. The number of units allowed by the proposed Subarea 29 Specific Plan Amendment would be consistent with The Ontario Plan (TOP) 2050 (adopted by the City of Ontario in August 2022), which allows for up to 11.0 dwelling units per gross acre for low-medium density residential uses and 25 dwelling units per gross acre for medium density residential uses. The Project would also involve amendments to the Subarea 29 Specific Plan to introduce new home types and architectural styles to support the goals of the Subarea 29 Specific Plan; revisions to the text and exhibits in Subarea 29 Specific Plan Chapter 5, Infrastructure and Services, to include the Expansion Area; and, revisions to the text and exhibits in Chapter 7, Residential Design Guidelines, to identify existing architectural styles applicable to the new PAs, and to identify landscape and wall/fence requirements for the Expansion Area. The Project also includes off-site improvement areas associated with the Southern California Edison (SCE) easement between PAs 30 and 31, and site adjacent roadway right-of-way (ROW) surrounding the proposed Expansion Area.
