The purpose of the Diamond Ridge specific plan is to assist
in the development of the site in a manner that will benefit local
shoppers, the general public and the city of Glendora. The specific
plan accomplishes these purposes by providing for the efficient use
of land, and ensuring compatibility between existing and proposed
land uses. The customized development regulations contained in the
specific plan address the unique characteristics of the site and surrounding
properties, as well as the needs of the commercial land uses proposed
for the site. These efforts are intended to foster greater economic
development and design opportunities than could be achieved through
the use of conventional zoning and development standards. In addition
to defining appropriate land uses for the project site, the Diamond
Ridge specific plan provides a cohesive process for the review of
individual development site plan proposals.
|
The site is located within the boundaries of the Glendora Redevelopment
Agency Project Area No. 1.
|
Important east-west arterials in the project area include (from
south to north) Badillo Street/Covina Boulevard, Arrow Highway, Gladstone
Street, Baseline Road, Route 66 and Foothill Boulevard. Badillo Street/Covina
Boulevard, Arrow Highway, Baseline Road, Route 66 and Foothill Boulevard
are classified as primary roads, acting as regional arteries that
run through developed residential and commercial areas. Badillo Street/Covina
Boulevard and Arrow Highway provide access to the I-210. Planned east-west
access to the Diamond Ridge site will be via Lone Hill Avenue through
the Glendora Marketplace shopping center.
|
Directly south of the Foothill Freeway, located adjacent to
Lone Hill Avenue, is a park and ride facility operated by the California
Department of Transportation.
