Plans for controversial 1,200 acres in Rancho Cucamonga move forward
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors today set a date of July 28 to hear proposals from the Rancho Cucamonga City Council on a 1,200-acre chunk of land north of the 210 Freeway being eyed by five developers.
The county plans to buy the land from its flood control district, then enter into an entitlement agreement with a developer of its choice.
One of the developers interested in the land is Jeff Burum, whose Colonies Partners secured a $102 million settlement from the county in November 2006 after a nearly four-year legal dispute over who was responsible a flood control project at one of Burum's Upland developments.
The Rancho Cucamonga City Council will recommend two developers to the Board of Supervisors, and the board will subsequently choose one of the two for entitlement.
The county's preliminary appraisal of the land, located north of the 210 Freeway, determined its value at between $37.5 million and $75 million.
