It’s developing into a mixed-use, urban, pedestrian-friendly series of neighborhoods oriented around our commuter rail and transit station. It’s a series of different housing types in different densities organized in a for-sale and for- rent pattern with services and retail activities. “We’ve got another large development happening on the other side of the spectrum and the other side of the City. We’re going through a multi-year, community-based planning program to annex 4,300 acres of land into the City. The organizing principle around that effort, which is called the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan, is to bring that 4,000-plus acres into the City limits and balance both development and conservation. If this plan ends up getting approved as it’s currently proposed, we would see the development of about 3,000 new units on about 900 acres, primarily single-family attached and detached, organized in a mixed-use fashion with a village center with retail and services, in a walkable, traditional format. And the balance of 3,100 acres would be conserved as open space in the foothills of the National Forest. So, we’re getting great new neighborhoods that will generate less traffic than we see in conventional neighborhoods; generate less greenhouse gas emissions; and we’re realizing 3,000-plus acres of conserved, open space and all the ecological benefits that come along with that. “A big part of this initiative is providing a range of housing that’s affordable to the workforce here. On balance, we’re close to being even in terms of the number of employees that we export on a given day and the number of workers that come into the City to work every day, but we have an imbalance in that a lot of the people who live here are working in jobs outside of the City and a lot of the people who are working here, live outside of LOCAL EXPERTISE.
