STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 11, 1996
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Brent Le Count, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-15 - TMP HOMES - The design review of detailed
site plan and elevations for 42 single family lots within the southern portion of
Tentative Tract 13566 in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre)
of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and vacation of a temporan/access at the south end
of the existing community trail, located south of 24th Street and west of the 1-15
Freeway -APN: 226-311-27 and 226o321-01.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The site is currently vacant with an average slope of 3
percent from north to south. Tentative Tract 13566 was rough graded in the late 1980's but much
of the grading work on the subject site has since been eroded. Directly to the north lie 112 single
family homes in Tentative Tract 13566, to the south and west tie flood control facilities, and to the
west lies vacant property.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Tentative Tract 13566 was originally approved by the Planning Commission on July
22, 1987, as a 154 lot custom lot subdivision. Various developers have built tract-like homes
on 112 of the lots leaving the remaining 42 lots in the current application. The applicant is
proposing four floor plans each with three elevation styles. Added variety is provided by
flipping/reversing footprints and providing a mix of front-on and side-on garages. The homes
include traditional building materials (wood siding, brick, and stone veneer), porches, variety
in roof lines, and architectural details consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan design
standards. A mix of one- and two-story homes is proposed with home sizes ranging from
2,333 square feet to 3,298 square feet. Many of the homes will have a U-shaped footprint
creating a semi-enclosed court yard area in the center of the "U."
B. Desiqn Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the 'Design Review Committee
(Barker, McNiel, Fong) on August 6, 1996, and the Committee recommended approval with
conditions (Exhibit "G").
C. Technical and Gradinq Review Committees: The project was reviewed by both Committees
and determined, with recommended conditions of approval, to be in conformance with
applicable standards and ordinances.

D. Trails Advisory Committee: The tract is bordered on the east and south by a planned
Community Trail. The Trails Advisory Committee (Tolstoy. Hahn, Coleman) reviewed the
project on August 21, 1996, and recommended approval with conditions (Exhibit "H").
E. Vacation of Temporary Access Easement: A temporary access easement was dedicated to
the City at the northeast corner of the subject property (Exhibit "1"). The easement allows
maintenance vehicles to access the Community trail along the easterly property line and turn
around. The improvement of the Community Trail fronting this project will make the
tum-around easement unnecessary; therefore, a vacation will be processed upon acceptance
of the Community Trail.
FACTS FOR FINDING: The project is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan, Development
Code, and the General Plan. This project will not be detrimental to the adjacent properties or cause
significant environmental impacts. In addition, the proposed use and Site Plan with the
recommended Conditions of Approval, are in compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and City Standards.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Design Review
96-15 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
COMMENT SHEET
August 21, 1996
II. NEW BUSINESS
A. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-15 - TMP HOMES - A request to provide community trait
improvements for the completion of Tracts 13566 and. 13566-2.
Backqround: In 1987, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 13566 for
development of a 154-home subdivision on 68 acres of land. A condition of approval required
that Community Equestrian Trails be provided along the north, south, and east boundaries of
the tract with precise trail alignment subject to review and approval by the Trails Advisory
Committee pdor to recordation of the Final Tract Map. The applicant, TMP Homes, is proposing
to build homes on the remaining 49 lots located at the south end of the tract. The Final Map for
these lots has not yet been recorded.
,Context: Community Trails have been constructed along the north and a portion of the east
boundaries of the tract. The curTent proposal would extend the existing Community Trail along
the east side of the tract (actually within San Bernardino County Flood Control right-of-way) to
wrap around and through the southerly portion of the tract (see attached site plan).
Analvsis: The proposed trails are consistent with the approved tentative tract map and with the
Etiwanda Specific Plan Community Trail requirements. However, the Trail Implementation Plan
requires Community Trails to be a minimum of 20 feet in width while the applicant is proposing
12-foot and 16-foot wide trails. Staff recommends that Community Trails within the Flood
Control right-of-way be widened to 20 feet. Also, since tentative map approval and rough
grading, the Etiwanda Specific has been amended to require a 106 foot wide right of way for
Wardman Bullock Road (see Exhibit "B"). However, the road has been rough graded to respect
a 104 foot right of way and the applicant wishes not to regrade to accommodate the 106 foot
width. The two foot difference in right of way widths is proposed to be taken from the required
3 foot wide landscape strip between the community trail and the edge of the right of
way/property line wall leaving a one foot wide landscape strip. Staff is of the opinion that this
would not provide sufficient distance/buffering from property line walls for users of the trail and
recommends that the project comply with the Etiwanda Specific Plan requirements.
There is a triangular piece of Flood Control District right-of-way adjacent to the southeast
corner of the site which could provide an opportunity for a trail rest area. This area is not large
enough to function as a trail head with space for horse trails; however, it could accommodate
hitching posts and shade trees. Staff recommends that the applicant and the Trails Advisory
Committee discuss this opportunity and that the Committee provide the applicant with direction
as to rest area design.
Staff Planner: Brent Le Count
ACTION:
The Trails Advisory Committee recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Provide full 106-foot right-of-way for Wardman Bullock Road per the Etiwanda Specific
Plan.
2. Off-site Community Trails shall have a minimum width of 20 feet per City standard.
3. Provide trail rest stop within the triangular piece of Flood Control District right-of-way at the
southeast comer of the site north or Wardman Bullock Road. Amenities shall include, at a
minimum, hitching posts, benches, horse watering fixtures, and shade trees.
Ill. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
The Committee recommended that an active equestrian, who is familiar with the existing trail system,
be appointed to the Committee.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
The Trails Advisory Committee adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 11, 1996
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Steve Hayes, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-06 - DIVERSIFIED - The design review of the
detailed site plan and building elevations for Tentative Tract 15730, an approved
tentative tract map consisting of 28 lots on 5.66 acres of land in the Low-Medium
Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre), located at the northwest corner of
Beryl and Mignonette Streets - APN: 202-741-60 and 61.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The site is vacant bordered on the north, west, and south by existing single family homes. Property
to the east (across Beryl Street) is currently occupied by the Alta Loma School District as a
maintenance yard, but is zoned residential. Code Enforcement has been working with the School
District on relocation efforts. Tentative Tract 15730 was approved for this property on July 24,
1996. The site slopes from north to south at roughly 3 percent. Various slope and wall conditions
exist along the projecrs northerly property line. There are also four mature Eucalyptus trees along
the Beryl Street frontage that have been approved for removal under the Tree Removal Permit
approved with Tentative Tract 15730.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: This subdivision was approved by the Planning Commission of July 24, 1996. The
proposed residences vary in size from 1,208 to 1 ]14 square feet on lots that vary in size
from 6,011 to 8,467 square feet. Four floor plans are proposed and all have two-car garages
that face the street. The two smallest plans are one-story. A majority of the lots have been
plotted with the two one-story model types. Wherever possible, the northerly lots have been
plotted with one-story homes in order to be sensitive to the yiewsheds and privacy of the
residents to the north of the site, all of which reside in one-story homes. The proposed
architectural treatments, wall designs, and other design elements have been designed to be
compatible and compliment existing development in the area. The project is proposed to
have a modified parkway section where the back of sidewalk is proposed to be only 9 feet
behind the curb face. as opposed to the normal 12 feet on a local street section. The
modified street section is proposed in order to provide the required minimum depth of 18 feet
on all private driveways. This concept has been found to be acceptable by City staff.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:10 p.m. Steve Hayes August 6, 1996
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-06 - DIVERSIFIED - The design review of the detailed site plan and
building elevations for an approved tentative tract map TT 15730 consisting of 28 lots on 5.66 acres of
land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling traits per acre) located at the northwest comer
of Beryl and Mignonette Streets - APN: 202-741-60 and 61.
Design Parameters:
The vacant site is bounded by single family residential development to the north, south and west. To the
east, across Beryl Street, is a vacant parcel zoned for single family residential development. Four mature
Eucalyptus trees exist along the frontage of Beryl Street and were recommended for removal with
replacement planting by the Planning Commission in conjunction with the Tentative Tract Map. Agate
Street exists as a north/south stub street off the main east/west spine street, Hamilton Street, within the
residential development north of the site. A fairly significant slope has been created along the northern
property boundat)' of the site With development of the homes to the north. The site slopes from north to
south at roughly 4 percent.
Staff Comments:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. A total of four models with three elevations each are proposed for this 28 lot subdivision.
However, 12 of the 28 lots are plotted with the Plan 102 model, which is the larger one story home
and the model with the largest footprint. Staff has been attempting to work with the applicant to
resolve a technical concem regarding sufficient ckiveway depth and flat rear yard area for all lots.
As currently plotted, there are 12 lots where this technical issue exists. Staff does not object to the
large number of one-story homes within the project (18 out of 28 lots), but fewer Plan 102 models
would provide more unit variety and possibly solve: the technical concems of staff if smaller
footprints are plotted on some of the more difficult lots. The Plan 101 is 3 feet less in depth than
the Plan 102. Therefore, staff would recommend that more Plan 101 models be plotted in place
of some Plan 102 models in situations where suffmient driveway and rear yard depth are a technical
concern. Also, in some project interior cases where having a two-story home plotted would not
significantly impact the surrounding neighborhood, the Plan 103 or 104 models could be plotted
to resolve staff concems. These models are over 12 fleet less in depth than the Plan 102.
2. The applicant is proposing to use horizontal woodcrete fencing with river rock pilasters along the
Beryl Street frontage. The project to the south, Hamilton Ranch, has vertical wood fencing with
river rock pilasters along Beryl Street. Staff feels that the use of woodcrete with river rock pilasters
is acceptable, however, a vertical type of woodcrete is preferred to be more consistent with the
project to the south.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Several units should be flipped to more closely align driveways and garages and provide larger open
yard spaces between units.
2. Driveway approach widths should be minimized as much as possible, especially given the nature
of the specific subdivision design where a large number of lots front on to the cul-de-sac bulbs.
DRC AGENDA
DR 96-06 - DIVERSIFIED
August 6, 1996
Page 2
3. Special paving should be introduced in driveways given the potential domination of the streetscape
the driveways may have in the proposed cul-de-sac scheme.
4. In order to insure a consistent landscape along Mignonette sh'eet, the slope planting scheme should
be expanded to include the entire slopes.
5. Wood sided chinracy stacks should be modified in design.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. The proposed river rock pilasters should be composed of a native river rock material and have a
decorative cap treatment, preferably consistent with the cap used on the pilasters for the Hamilton
Ranch project to the south.
2. Return walls should be composed of a decorative block or have a decorative exq. erior treatment and
cap. Wood fences should be limited to interior side and rear yard area not seen from public streets.
3. A minimum of 5 feet should be provided between walls and the back of sidewalk in order to provide
a landscape area of sufficient width to support the growth of trees.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the project subject to the
incorporation of the design items mentioned in this report as well as any other conditions the committee
deems necessary.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Dave Barker, Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Steve Hayes
The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant should explore the possibility of using vertical spans ofwoodcrete fencing instead
of the horizontal woodcrete fencing proposed.
2. Units should be flipped to more closely align driveways and garages and provide larger open space
areas, to the satisfaction of staff.
3. All other secondary and policy design issues should be addressed to the satisfaction of the City
Planner and ~vill be incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for the project.
