Related File: Conditional Use Permit 94-13. (Continued from May 8, 1996). PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: The property is surrounded on all sides by residential development in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre). B. General Plan Desianations: The project site and all surrounding property falls within the Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) land use designation. C. Site Characteristics: The .84 acre site slopes slightly from north to south and is improved with a single story detached home, which is currently vacant. The house was used during the 1980's and early 1990's as a private preschool/school. Access to the site is taken off 19th Street via a single driveway along the east side of the site. D. Parkino Calculations: Number of Number of Type Number Parking Spaces Spaces of Use of seats Ratio. Required Provided Church 108 1 per 4 seats 27 33 ANALYSIS: A. Backqround: The site was used by the Wise Oak Elementary School for many years beginning prior to Rancho Cucamonga's incorporation. The school had been established / ITENS A & B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-13 & VAR 96-03 - MAX WILLIAMS ARCHITECTS June 12, 1996 Page 2 under a County approval similar to a Conditional Use Permit. A church also used the building for a period during the 1980's without a proper Conditional Use Permit. The school constructed a room addition at the rear of the house, contrary to their approved plans for a patio cover. This triggered the need for ~ new Conditional Use Permit that was conditionally approved by the P~anning Commission on May 22, 199t, including a related variance. The · school relocated to another site in the City; hence, the conditions of approval, such as improvements to the site that were never implemented. The City did not receive any complaints from neighbors about the school/church during its operation. B. General: The proposed church will hold services on Sunday momings from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. along with adult bible study and fellowship classes. During the week, the church will be in operation from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays. There would also be weddings, funerals, and receptions on an irregular basis. The church may submit a separate Conditional Use Permit in the future to operate a preschool/day care facility. C, Proiect ConStruction Phasinq: The project construction' is intended to be phased to synchronize improvements with growth of the congregation and availability of construction funds, see Exhibit "A-3.'l All on-site and off-site improvements would be completed with Phase I prior to occupancy, including grading, paving, landscaping, repainting the house, new monument sign, and replacement of doors and windows. Architectural enhancements would. be constructed in Phases II and Ill during the first and second year of operation. D. Variance: There is insu~cient room between the existing structure and the east property line to accommodate the required 1 O-foot wide interior side landscape setback and a 26-foot wide driveway needed to access the Code required parking spaces at the rear of the site. The landscape setback is proposed to be reduced from 10 feet down to between 0 and 3 feet along approximately 230 feet (70 percent) of the east property line. Most of the diminished landscape setback area would be behind a 6-foot high decorative wall. A 26-foot long portion of interior side landscape setback along the west property line would be reduced to 7 feet as well. This is necessary to provide an area for backing out of the end parking space. Similar reduced landscape setbacks exist in the neighborhood. Multi-family projects have been approved on 19th Street just east of the subject property with 5-foot wide landscape setbacks between the driveways and the side property lines. One of these projects. the Alta Loma Woods condominiums, has been built with no adverse affects regarding the 5-foot landscape setback. E, Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, 8uller) reviewed the project on April 16, 1996, and requested that the project be brought back before the Committee 'with certain changes. The applicant worked diligently with staff to revise the project to accommodate these changes. The revised project was reviewed by the Committee (Lumpp, McNiel. Henderson) on May 14, 1996, at which time the Committee recommended approval with conditions. see Exhibit "B," Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee which determined that, together with the recommended conditions of approval, the project is in conformance with applicable standards and ordinances. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-I 3 & VAR 96-03 - MAX WILLIAMS ARCHITECTS June 12. 1996 Page 3 G. Tree Removal: Associated with this project is Tree Removal Permit 96-12. which calls for the removal of 14 existing Italian Cypress trees, The removal of these trees is necessary to install parking and pedestrian pathw_ay improvements. The City's Tree Preservation Ordinance requires replacement planting and appropriate conditions have been attached. H. ' Environmental Review: The subject application is exempt per Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act FACTS FOR FINDING: Conditional Use Permit: 1. That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the obiectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injuriou~ to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the' proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. Variance: 1. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Code. 2. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to lhe propercy involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone, 3 That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone, 4. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. 5, That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health. safety, or welfare er materially injurious to preperties or improvements in the vicinity. S~aff believes the following facts concerning the subject property support the Variance request: 1. The combination of the narrow Lot and the location and setback of the existing structure create a iJnique design challenge. 2, The existing structure location at the front of the property necessitates a rear parking lot served by a driveway down the side yard. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-13 & VAR 96-03 - MAX WILLIAMS ARCHITECTS June 12, 1996 Page 4 3. If the property were developed with only a residence, there would be no requirement for landscaping along this side yard. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public headng in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 94-13, Variance 96-03, and Tree Removal Permit 96-12 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval.

The existing driveway is to be widened to city standards and the site is to be graded, landscaped and paved as per the submitted drawings. The structure is an existing one-story wood frame building with stucco exterior finish and drywall interior finish and asphalt shingle roofing, Minimal changes will be made to the building to provide for the proposed use. Remodeling will include: two new entries and three new exits. Some existing windows and doors will be framed in and finished to match existing conditions. The building will be painted when remodeling is'complete. VARIANCE JUSTIFICATION A variance is requested for the required side yard landscape area along the east property line for approximately 230' of length. A 3' and 5' wide landscape planter are provided along a portion (_.+ 155') of the variance area as shown on the submitted plans. The variance is necessary due to the narrow width of the property and the proximity of the structure to the east property line and the need for maximizing the drive aisle width for two-way traffic at this location. The variance is necessary to allow the owner to use the property in compliance with the zoning. The strict application of the development code would deprive the property owner privileges (use) enjoyed by other properties in this district. The special circumstances which exist on site create a hardship, The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to adjacent properties or the zoning district and neighborhood. attach.mnt\gray.chr.app 276 North Second Avenue · Upland, California 91786 · (909) 981-2845 · FAX (909) 985-4836 VAP--IAkJcE P--E-~UE-~TEb FoE ~IIDE yAB, ID L,.rILLZP, H$ F~F.:CHZTECT$ TEL Nc,.9:9-985-~83E, hle. uj '2i.9~ !.':!:5E i'lc,.005 P.02 UJILLIA_.

Related File: Development Review 96-07. (Continued from May 22, 1996). DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-07 - DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES - Review of the detailed site plan and building elevations for Tentative Tract 15726 consisting of 17 single family lots in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), generally located south of Lemon Avenue and west of Hermosa Avenue - APN: 201-251-28. Related File: Tentative Tract Map 15726. (Continued from May 22, 1996). PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Proiect Density: 3.7 dwelling units per acre. B. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoning: North - Single family; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Church; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) East - Single family; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West - One single family residence and vacant; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Low Residential North - Low Residential South - Low Residential East Low Residential West - Low Residential D. Site Characteristics: The property fronts on Lemon Avenue and slopes gently to the southeast. Drains have been installed at the southwest corner of the property to carry storm flows from the site to Highland Avenue. There are no trees on the site. ITEMS C & D PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT T1'15726 & DR 96-07- DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES June 12, 1996 Page 2 ANALYSIS: The project is an infill subdivision. Lot sizes will range in size from a minimum of 7,540 square feet to a maximum of 14,280 square feet with an average lot size of 8,700 square feet. As an infill project, the street design and lot configuration will be compatible in design with the existing tracts in the area. The internal street design will extend and connect to Bristol Drive and Orange Street. Lemon Avenue will be fully improved adjacent to the northern property boundary. The vacant property to the west has access from Lemon Avenue to a four-lot subdivision per Parcel Map 3384. Neiohborhood Meetino: On February 14, 1996, the project applicant held a neighborhood meeting, see Exhibit "E." Residents expressed concern about construction traffic through their neighborhood. The applicant said that construction traffic will be routed from Lemon Avenue during the project's construction period. Residents also expressed concern about increased traffic through their neighborhood. Staff responded that Bristol Drive and Orange Street were designed as local streets to connect to the proposed project. The increase in traffic will be minimal because primary access is from Lemon Avenue; therefore, any additional traffic on Bristol Drive and Orange Street will be from the immediate neighborhood. Gradinq and Technical Review Committee: On May 14, 1996, the Grading Committee reviewed the project. On May 15, 1996, the project was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee. Drainage onto and from the site was discussed and subsequently resolved. Drainage pipes are currently in-place to carry storm flows from the site to Highland Avenue. These drains will be used for the two lots in the southeast corner of the proposed tract. Cross-lot drainage will be provided for the two adjoining vacant and recorded parcels to the east (Parcel 1 and 4 of Parcel Map 3384). Westerly Parcels 2 and 3 of Parcel Map 3384 drain to the west. All lots are designed to drain to a public street, either directly or via a cross-lot drainage easement. Drainage easements will be required for all cross-lot drainage areas. Design Review Committee: On May 14, 1996, the Design Review Committee (Lumpp, McNiel, Henderson) reviewed the project. The Committee recommended approval of the project with conditions to the Planning Commission as indicated in the attached Design Review Committee Action Comments, see Exhibit "F." One issue remains to be resolved by the Planning Commission. Staff recommended that in order to vary the streetscape, a minimum of five side-on garages be required. The applicant stated that this is an infill project and that the older, adjoining tract to the east has all front-on garages. The Committee referred the question to the full Commission. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed by the applicant. Part II, the Environmental Checklist, has been completed by staff and no significant impacts on the environment are anticipated as a result of this project, see Exhibit "G." FACTS FOR FINDINGS: This project is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. The project will not be detrimental to the public health or safety or cause nuisance or significant environmental impacts. In addition, the proposed site plan, together with the recommended conditions of approval, is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Development Code and City Standards.

Approximately ten residents artended (see attached). The project was presented by Andy Wright, President, Diversified Pacific; Peter Pitassi, architect; and Ray Allard, Engineer. The proposal is for 17 single family, three bedroom homes ranging in size from 1208 to 1353 square feet, with two and three car front-on garages. The Mediterranean stucco style homes with tile roofs are expected to sell in the range of $140,000 to $160,000 with conventional market rate financing. Perimeter block walls, wood side yard fences, and front yard landscaping will be installed. Construction is planned for two phases over a one year period. Primary access will be from Lemon Street via an as yet unnamed street which will connect to Orange and to Bristol which were planned for such connection and provide a second access via Hermosa. Water and sewer will connect to existing lines in Orange and Bristol, forming a loop which will improve water pressure overall. All but two lots are planned to drain to the streets, along new gutters in the tract and existing gutters in Orange and Bristol through to Hermosa. The two remaining lots are planned to drain to Highland through existing pipes beneath the Church's property. Residents were asked if they had questions or comments: 1. Increased residential traffic: The primary. concern was about increased traffic on Orange and Bristol, traffic speed, and the safety of children. Incidents of excessive speed have occurred in the past. Residents requested that the Tract be served by Cul-de-sacs and not connect to their tract. Mr. Pitassi responded that the City prohibited Cul-de-sac streets in excess of 600 feet. Residents asked if speed bumps, internal stop signs, or "slow, children at play" signs could be posted to address the issue. Mr. Pitassi said that such features are not found on the public streets in the City, but that their question would be referred to the Engineering Division. Ms. Bratt concurred that the concern with traffic would be forwarded to the Engineering Division. 2. Construction traffic: concern was expressed about heavy equipment traveling through the existing tract. Mr. Wright responded that sub-contracts will contain a clause restricting construction access to Lemon Street. Residents requested that barriers to through traffic be retained as long as possible. 3. Construction noise: concern was expressed about start and stop times. Mr. Wright responded that the work day will begin at 7 a.m. and normally conclude by 3 p.m. 4. School bus stop on Lemon. Residents expressed concern about the safety of children crossing Lemon to board school buses and asked ira cross~valk could be installed at Phillip's Way. They said they were not aware of other cross walks along Lemon. 5. Freeway disclosure: Residents asked if the freeway would impact sales and if disclosure would be necessary. Mr. Wright said that the freeway was not near enough to impact sales and that all required disclosures would be made. 6. Additional reauests for information. Financing, size, and design were discussed. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Miki Bra~ May 14, 1996 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 15726 - DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES - A request for a 17 lot subdivision on 4.61 acres generally Iocated south of Lemon Avenue and west of Hermosa Avenue in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) - APN: 201-251-28. (Related File: Development Review 96-07). DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-07 - DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES - Review of the detailed site plan and building elevations for Tentative Tract 15726 consisting of 17 single family lots generally located south of Lemon Avenue and west of Hermosa Avenue in the Low Residential District (2-4. dwelling units per acre) - APN: 20t-25t-28. Design Parmeters: This is a 17 unit infill development. The primary access will be from Lemon Avenue, but two streets, Bristol and Orange, will connect to an existing tract. The proposed elevations are generally compatible with the existing neighborhood. A neighborhood meeting was held: increased traffic was the primary concern expressed. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Commitlee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Commiuee discussion regarding this project: 1 .. The applicant proposes front-on garages for all units. To improve the appearance of the street scope, staff recommends side-on garages for approximately a third of the units (a minimum of 5). Further, the applicant has proposed one garage door design. Staff recommends that a minimum of three garage door designs be provided, with a "window" variation for at least one plan. 2. Applicant proposes to place west perimeter wall 1-foot east of property line in order to provide drainage swale to accommodate storm ranoff. Staff recommends an alternative solution for cross lot drainage with perimeter wall on property line in order to avoid future problem establishing property line between properties and/or dead space of 1-foot between fences. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: I. Side elevations lack design treatment. Staff recommends the addition of a minimum of one window to garage side elevation, either a bedroom or garage window; for two stoD' plans, the addition of a second window on the upper story. 2. Heavy cantilevered garage-front design features on Plans 101 and 102 appear awkward. Staff recommends the heavy elements be "supported," or example on Plans 101A and 101 A3 by a beam above the garage door; on Plans 102A and 102A3 with pilaster features. 3. On Plan 102 the garage side roof presents an unbroken mass which should be relieved, for example by a gable or other element. c, DRC COMMENTS TT 15726 & DR 96-07 - DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES May 14, 1996 Page 2 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design ;vithout discussion: 1. Window details on side and rear elevations must continue design motif from front elevation, for example double boards beneath windows. 2. Perimeter block walls required and side yard remm block walls are recommended. Indicate all block walls on Site Plan as well as precise Grading Plan and concept Landscape Plan. 3.

Design Review Committee Action' Members Present: Heinz Lumpp, Larry McNiel, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Mild Bratt The Committee referred the Tract Map to Technical Review Committee to resolve the west perimeter drainage issue and recommended design approval to the full Planning Commission with the side-on garage issues unresolved. Mr. Henderson urged the applicant to make a contact (preferably in writing) with adjacent property owner to the west. Hopefully, the neighboring owner will express concurrence with the proposal as submitted, or work out any conflicts prior to the Planning Commission hearing. Commissioner McNiel supported five side-on garages to vary the streetscape. Commissioner Lumpp concluded that since the tradeoffwas between front porches and garages, he was in favor of porches. Plan 102 roof massing is adequate. The Committee recommended approval of the design subject to applicant revising the plans to reflect the following: I. A one-story plan on Lot 14. 2. Three garage doors designs without windows. 3. Windows on the side elevations of garages for Plans 102, 103, and 104. 4. A second-stop:, round window for Plan 103 left. 5.. Corbels supporting cantilever elements for Plans 103 and 104 rear, other front, side, and rear design elements are adequate.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Attn: Mr. Brent A. Le Count, AICP Ref: Conditional Use Permit Application No. 96-07 Dear Mr. Le Count, This letter responds to certain additional items of concern posed by the Planning Commission during their review of the referenced C.U.P. application. I've separated these items into two categories: 1) those related to the landscape design and, 2) those related to the basic design, including grading. LandscapeDesiqn 1. (Question) Is it possible that trees might be planted along the west side of the (temporary parking) access driveway? (Answer) Yes, this will be done. The landscape drawing has been revised to add European Sycamore trees along the driveway as suggested. 2. (Question) Is it possible to add a border of trees along the west property line (specifically, along the fence west of the proposed portable buildings and the storage container)? (Answer) Actually there is a line of existing trees along the west property line; unfortunately, since these were in place, we hadn't added them in the drawing for the landscaping required for the referenced C.U.P. However, the landscape drawing has been revised to show these existing Pine and Carrotwood trees. \A:orship Times: Sunday 10:30 A,M.

(Question) It would be adviseable to add turf to the playground area west of the proposed portable buildings. (A~lswer) We had planned to re-seed that area with grass· We have added a call-out on the landscape drawing that, indeed, the area will be turfed. Basic Desiqn Concerns 1. (Question) Is it possible to re-grade the area west of the proposed portable buildings? (Answer) It is the opinion of the Church that such re- grading of permanent land contours which relate to future planned permanent facilities to incorporate temporary facilities are usually not cost effective and, at least in this case, will not be done. 2. (Question) It was suggested that the proposed temporary parking area be connected with the permanent parking by a driveway, thus allowing vehicles to enter the temporary parking area should the permanent parking be filled and avoid the vehicles from using Sapphire Street. Would this be possible? (Answer) After considerable discussion, the Church decided it would not be cost effective to disrupt the permanent parking structure to meet the needs of a temporary parking situation. The Church is reviewing the possibility of establishing a parking lot monitor to direct and/or assist entering motorists. Please call me at (909) 980-1651 or feel free to call our project architect, Mr. Michael Evans, at (909) 390-8462, if further information is needed. Thank you. Very truly yours, ',M r CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ' ,~I,~ STAFF REPORT DATE: June 12, 1996 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Brent Le Count, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96-07 - ALTA LOMA CHRISTIAN CHURCH - A request to install 3 temporary buildings to house educational activities associated with an existing church on 4.99 acres of land in the Very Low Residential District, located at 6386 Sapphire Street - APN: 1062-332-25. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoning: The property is surrounded on all sides by residential development in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre). B. General Plan Desiqnations: The project site and all surrounding property fails within the Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) land use designation. The discrepancy between the General Plan designation and the Development Code is pending resolution; however, it has no bearing upon the merits of this application. C. Site Characteristics: The pad area for the modular buildings is graded and tufted. The south portion of the site is developed with a multi-purpose/assembly building, a single family building that has been converted to an office for a total of 5,431 square feet, a parking lot containing 55 parking spaces, and a storage container. The remainder (approximately 2/3) of the site is undeveloped with a gradual slope from north to south. D. Parkinq Calculations: Number of Number of Type Floor Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Area Ratio Required Previded Assembly 2,800 sq. ~. 1 per 35 sq. ft. 80 82 Modulars 3,984 sq. ~. * * * · The preschool/kindergarten use that exists is approved for up to 80 children, and the modulars are proposed for up to 48 children (24 preschool + 24 daycare), which means a total of 128 children. The Code requires one parking space for each staff member plus one for each 5 children. Therefore, the total required parking spaces for the weekday preschool/kindergarten use will not exceed the available parking. ITEM E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-07 - ALTA LOMA CHRISTIAN CHURCH June 12, 1996 Page 2 ANALYSIS: A. Backqround: On April 17, 1996, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 83-04 and an associated Master Plan for development of a church on the property. The existing buildings represent a portion of the first phase of the Master Plan. The proposed temporary buildings and storage container are not part of the approved Master Plan and require a new Conditional Use Permit. B. General: The project includes a 27 space temporary parking lot and a temporary driveway, both of which would be paved with compacted gravel. The hours of operation would be 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, within which time outdoor play activities would occur from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday school/junior church activities would be 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p,m. on Sundays. The existing storage container was installed contrary to the approved Master Plan and would be "legalized" as part of this approval if granted. C. Proiect Construction Phasing: The temporary buildings and storage container are proposed to occupy the site for five years and be replaced with a permanent building. Temporary modulars are allowed for churches where a Master Plan for development of permanent facilities is approved. This flexibility recognizes the fact that churches generally don't have sufficient funds to pursue an aggressive development schedule. The Planning Commission sets time limits for temporary trailers for religious purposes for a "specified interim period" on a case-by-case basis. Traditionally, the intedm pedod has been up to five years as requested by the applicant. The two western-most temporary buildings would be installed soon after project approval and installation of the third temporary building would occur in September 1998. D. Utility Undergrounding: The applicant has requested an exemption from the Planning Commission policy for undergrounding existing overhead utilities, see Exhibit "E." The applicant believes, and staff concurs. that since all the surrounding properties are fully developed with single family residences it is highly unlikely any future development will trigger the actual undergrounding requirement. Therefore, the in-lieu fee, which exceeds the cost of the on-site improvements, would remain on deposit indefinitely and not result in the actual undergrounding of existing overhead utilities. Resolution No. 87-96, see Exhibit "F," exempts certain types of projects (Section 7) and allows the Planning Commission to waive the undergrounding requirement for others on a case-by-case basis. If the Commission so chooses, the appropriate action would be to delete Engineering Special Condition No. I and insert appropriate factual findings in the resolution to justify the exemption. E. Desian Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, Buller) reviewed the project on May 14, 1996, and recommended approval with the following condition: 1. Provide as much landscaping as possible around the temporary buildings, associated utility boxes, storage container, and temporary parking. F. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Technical Review and Grading Committees which determined that together with the recommended conditions of approval, the project is in conformance with applicable standards and ordinances. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-07-ALTA LOMA CHRISTIAN CHURCH June 12, 1996 Page 3 G. Environmental Review: The subject application is exempt per Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act. FACTS FOR FINDING: Staff believes the following facts suppod the requisite findings: 1. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan policies to create opportunities wherein a population diverse in terms of income, age, occupation, race, lifestyle, values, interests, and · ~religion may interact, exchange ideas, and realize common goals. 2.. The proposed use is consistent with Development Code provisions which allow churches and preschools within residential districts. 3. No evidence has been submitted to show that the modulars will be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 96-07 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.

Box 807 PlanninO Division Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Attn: Mr. Brent A. Le Count, AICP Dear Mr. Le Count, Further to our meeting on March 20, 1996 with yourself and other city officials of Rancho Cucamonga, I enclose the following answers to the questions posed by your letter of March 11, 1996; specifically, Completeness items 1. and 2.: 1. "Provide a letter describing the proposed use (of the modulars) in greater detail." The modulars will provide much needed temporary space to handle increased growth, both in actual numbers of Sunday school/junior church attenders on Sunday mornings, and in potential number of students at the weekday preschool/kindergarten. The word "potential" is used because most of the classes are max'd-out because of floor space limitations; hence, many potential students have been turned away over the past several months. Also, an early morning and after school day care program for grades K through 6 is in planning stages for implementation during the Fall of 1996. The church feels this day care program will definitely provide direct support to our community by offering day care in an environment which is safe, supervised and morally-sound. Additionally, a larger-sized modular will be used during weeknights by adult "small groups" or (adult-supervised) youth groups. The current hours of operation of the preschool/kindergarten and Sunday school/junior church will remain the same after installation of the modulars; i.e., weekdays, 6 a.m. thru 6 p.m., and 9:30 a.m. thru 12:30, respectively. The planned early morning and afternoon day care will be within the current hours of operation of the preschool/kindergarten. Worship Times: Sunday ] 0:30 A.M. ([ I/ \Vorship Location: 6386 Sapphire St., Afla Loma, CA 91701 ~ ~( ]J~ ~/!T J~ Phone: <9091 989-6933- FAX: {909} 477-6628 Senior Pastor: Mike Maiolo The weeknight use of the modulars would be on selected evenings, within the maximum span of hours being 6 p.m. thru 9:30 p.m. (youth groups normally meet from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., while adult groups meet from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.). Following State requirements which outline that children must have outdoor play areas (which implies that the children will be outside during part of their day, depending of course on weather conditions), we have held outdoor activities for the preschool/kindergarten children. Upon placement of the modular units, our plan is to have activities on weekdays during reasonable awake hours, including the 'time windows' of 8:30 a.m. thru 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 thru 4:30 pom. Preliminary planning and discussions held within the leadership indicates construction of at least one permanent building to be built within five years. This, in all probability, will release at least two of the modulars if not all three. The number of people using the modulars will be governed, where applicable, by the (preschool) licensing conditions set forth by the California Department of Social Services; i.e., approximately 24 kindergartners, and up to 24 early morning/afternoon day care students (K thru 6th grade students) during weekdays of the school year. Evening use of two of the modulars could amount to a maximum of approximately 55 (estimating some 40 adults and 15 kids) on any given night. For clarification purposes, the modulars, indeed, would be used to handle an expansion of the preschool/kindergarten and also be used by the church for Sunday school/junior church classes, evening adult and youth groups on weeknights (see page one of this letter for further detail on this item). With regard to the temporary storage container. It presently is being used during the week to store some 125 (stackable) padded and 30 metal folding chairs from the church's Sunday morning service. Then, on Saturday and Sunday, the container is used to store preschool/kindergarten supplies, furniture, etc. Tied in with the preliminary planning mentioned in an aforementioned paragraph, it is planned that construction of one of the permanent buildings within five years would negate the need 'for the storage container. 2. It is planned to initially install two of the three modulars (i.e., one 24'x 40' unit and one 24'x 60' unit) immediately upon approval of the C.U.P., with the third (a second 24'x 60' unit) to be in place during September of 1998. - 3 - Two other issues were discussed at our aforementioned meeting: First, the Existing Overhead Utility Requirements 'Line on the Opposite Side of Street' was discussed with Ms. Betty A. Miller of the Engineering Division. After careful evaluation by the church leadership and our project architect, Mr. Michael Evans, we respectfully request exemption from 'In-Lieu Fees' for the following reasons: 1. With the exception of our site, the east and west side of Sapphire Street are fully developed with single family residential properties; 2. Per Item 8. of "Exceptions": Single family residences to be constructed on existing parcels which were not required to be underground by a previous approval and other developments specifically designated by the Planning Commission shall be exempt from these requirements. Since it is highly unlikely that the existing overhead utility lines will be placed underground in the foreseeable future, we request that our property be included in the same "exempt" category as the residences; i.e., to be reassessed at the time of reassessment of the residential properties. The current proposal before the City is to bring temporary relocatable buildings onto the site and carry out associated site works at a cost of approximately $35,000. If imposed, the 'In-Lieu Fees' would amount to approximately $73,000. which, being quite disproportionate to the cost of the proposed project, would not be within our reach in the foreseeable future considering the current economic climate. Secondly, we mentioned to you, Mr. Le Count, that one of the Liquidambar trees in the row of trees along the sidewalk bordering Sapphire Street had died during the most recent drought year. A replacement Liquidambar was planted this past Saturday (3-30). Please call me at (909) 980-1651 or feel free to call our project architect, Mr. Michael Evans, at (909) 390-8462, if further information is needed. Thank you. Very/>~y yours, ~ Charles A.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this report is forthe Planning Commission to review and consider action on various development standard changes that are being proposed by Diversified Pacific Homes, Ltd., an applicant of a proposed subdivision map within the south Etiwanda area. The proposed modifications would affect the Low-Medium and Medium Residential Districts of the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, for parcels south of the Interstate 15 Freeway. The applicant desires to develop within the Efiwanda Specific Plan density range prescribed for the Low-Medium and Medium Development Districts while essentially using the lot size and development standards of the citywide Development Code. PROPOSED CHANGES: The following modifications are requested by the applicant within the Low- Medium and Medium Residential districts under Basic Development Standards for the affected properties south of the Interstate 15 Freeway: I. Reduce minimum lot sizes. 2. Increase maximum lot coverage from 40 io 50 percent. 3. Modify setbacks for the front, side, corner side, and rear yards to be consistent with the Basic Development Standards of the Development Code. 4. Delete certain architectural guidelines. In addition, staff recommends the following change be considered in conjunction with the applicant's request: 5. Mod:~f,/minimum Jot width and depth. BACKGROUND: On March 27. 1996, the Planning Commission accepted the proponent's request .'.o initiate the proposed text changes to the Etiwanda Specific Plan. with the understanding ~ha( staff would anaiyze all of th~ Etiwanda Specific P!an Development Standards and recommend other modifications for The Planning Commission to consider concurrenfiy with this application. ITEF'I F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ESPA 96-01- DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES, LTD. June 12, 1996 Page 2 ,.; To assist the Planning Commission in reviewing this application, the attached Basic Development Standards Table from the Etiwanda Specific Plan includes both the proposed changes of the applicant and any additional staff recommended changes, see Exhibit "C." The additional changes proposed by staff were based on staffs analysis of the existing standards within the Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan, the site specific issues associated with the portion of the Etiwanda Specific Plan area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway and reviewing them in accordance with the past practices and policies of the Planning Commission. Generally, the proposed changes would allow for development to occur within the proposed "overlay" area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway. east of Etiwanda Avenue for parcels zoned Low-Medium and Medium Residential to that currently allowed for parcels in these development districts that are governed by the Development Code. Staff believes that the unique character of the Etiwanda area could be maintained by administering the architectural and added building separation requirements recommended by staff as explained below. ANALYSIS: This section ofthe report focuses on describing, discussing, and analyzing the various changes proposed to the development standards and design guidelines relating to the Low-Medium and Medium Residential districts within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, specifically for those parcels south of the Interstate 15 Freeway. The report has been formatted to list the existing code, the proposed change to that code, followed by an analysis and/or justification of the changes. Again, the intent of the proposed changes is to create an "overlay area" for which the proposed modified development standards would only apply; those parcels zoned Low-Medium and Medium Residential south of the Interstate 15 Freeway within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area. Other parcels with the same zoning north of the Interstate 15 Freeway within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area would not be subject to the proposed modifications and the current standards for these areas would still apply: 1. Reduce minimum lot sizes: EXISTING PROPOSED Minimum Average Lot Size 10,000 square feet 6,000 square feet Minimum Lot Size 7,200 square feet 5,000 square feet The purpose of the large 10,000 square foot minimum average lot size and 7,200 square foot minimum lot size is to create a more open and rural appearance than in other parts of the City. Etiwanda's rural image is characterized by large open spaces, with large windrows of Eucalyptus trees. The existing development standards, such as the large minimum average lot sizes, are more generous than generally found elsewhere in the City and were adopted as a means of helping to prese~e that character. The applicant contends that the area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway exhibits its own Unique characteristics and is physically separated from traditional Etiwanda by the barder of the raised freeway. The applicant is not proposing to completely stray from the general purpose and intent of the Specific Plan; certain elements, such as architectural design treatments, are proposed to remain intact. However, being that this portion of the Specific Plan area is separated, the applicant is proposing that this "subarea" have smaller lot sizes typical of areas PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ESPA 96-01- DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES, LTD. June 12, 1996 Page 3 of the City governed by the Development Code. Staff agrees that this area exhibits its own characteristics given the physical separation created by the raised freeway and proximity to the burgeoning commercial areas along Foothill Boulevard, but the area still does exhibit many characteristics typical of Etiwanda (large open spaces, Eucalyptus windrows, rock curbing along Etiwanda Avenue, etc.). If these characteristics of Etiwanda can still be maintained, and the existing architectural standards followed, then staff could support the proposed reduction in the lot sizes for the "subarea." These will be discussed later in this analysis. 2. Increase maximum lot coverage from 40 to 50 percent: EXISTING I PROPOSED Maximum Lot Coverage 40 percent of lot area 50 percent of lot area The applicant requests increasing the allowable building coverage on lots within the "subarea." This matches the standard used in the Development Code for the Low-Medium Residential Districts which applies citywide. Staff supports this change when combined with the other changes discussed in this report. 3. Modify setbacks for the front, side, corner side, and rear yards to be consistent with the Basic Development Standards of the Development Code: EXISTING PROPOSED Front Yard 25 feet 20 feet average; vary +/- 5 ft. Corner Side Yard 25 feet 15 feet* Interior Side Yard 0 ft./15 ~. 0 ft./20 ft. Total 15 feet Total 20 feet* (in no case shall a side yard separation of 15 feet be allowed) Rear Yard ,20 feet 15 feet If the Planning Commission can support the applicant's request for the proposed smaller lot sizes, then the referenced lot dimension modifications should also be considered to be consistent with the current standards within the Development Code. Those proposed standards with an asterisk (*) are analyzed separately below because they are recommended by staff as a means to help maintain the openness and more rural feeling originally envisioned for the Etiwanda area. Corner Side Yard: The Etiwanda Specific Plan currently requires a 25-foot setback from the property line for residences in the Low-Medium and Medium Residential Districts. The Development Code requires a 10-foot setback from the properly line in the same situation. Given the potentially narrower lot width considered under this application, a 25-foot corner side yard setback would restrict the width of homes on an average 50-foot wide lot to 20 feet (given also a 5-foot setback on the interior side yard). Staff is recommending a 15-foot corner PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ESPA 96-01- DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES, LTD. June 12,1996 Page 4 side yard setback within the "subarea" in order to allow creative and varied house designs on the lots of narrower width while still meeting the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan in providing a more open streetscape view. The 15- foot corner side yard setback is typical of large areas of Rancho Cucamonga that are in the Low Residential Districts of the Alta Loma area. Interior Side Yard: The Etiwanda Specific Plan currently requires a combined 15- foot interior side yard setback, in any combination, within the Low-Medium and Medium Residential Districts. The Development Code requires minimum setbacks of 5 feet on one interior side yard and 10 feet on the other. Staff feels that one of the key issues in considering the proposed reduction of the lot area and dimensions is how to maintain the more open feeling and unique character of the Etiwanda area. Staff recommends that the combined interior side yard setback be increased to a total of 20 feet with a provision that in no case should houses be plotted closer than 15 feet apart. Staff feels that this is acceptable to compensate foi' the smaller lot sizes and not take away from the concept of a more open streetscape appearance. Even on an average 50-foot wide lot, the increased side yard setbacks would allow for a house of sufficient width (30 feet) consistent with the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. 4. Delete architectural guidelines for "At least 50 percent of dwellings shall not be plotted parallel to the street frontage" and "property lines should be staggered as much as possible to create variety." The Etiwanda Specific Plan requires these provisions as a means to give a more varied streetscape, particularly for those portions of the Specific Plan area where it was anticipated that large homes would be built on large lots. These provisions becomes less achievable as lots become smaller and narrower. In order for the streetscape scenes created within the "subarea" to be of a level of interest unique to the Etiwanda area, as originally envisioned when the Etiwanda Specific Plan was adopted, staff is recommending that all existing design guidelines be maintained as well as the provisions for greater side yard setbacks and building separations. With these provisions as mitigations, staff feels that the requirements for 50 percent of the units to be plotted non-parallel to the street does not have to apply to the "subarea." 5. Modify minimum lot width and depth: EXISTING PROPOSED Minimum Lot Depth 100 feet 90 feet Minimum Lot Width 60 feet 50 feet average; vary +/- 5~. Minimum Frontage 40 feet @ front property 30 feet @ front property Width line line This portion of the application is a staff initiated request to simply match the lot dimension standards for the new "subarea" with those of the Development Code. Applying the existing lot dimension standards to the reduced lot sizes would not PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ESPA 96-01- DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES, LTD. June 12, 1996 Page 5 work because the current minimum lot size requirements would only allow for a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet (60 x 100 feet) whereas a 5,000 square foot minimum lot size is requested. Therefore, staff feels that the modified lot dimension standards would be appropriate if the Commission concurs with staff in recommending adoption of the reduced lot size standards. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The proposed amendment consists of changing development standards and design guidelines which would not create a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, staff recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners in the affected area and within a 1,000 foot radius of the area. In addition, a Community meeting was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper and held on April 23, 1996, to allow residents of the area an opportunity to voice any concems relative to the amendment prior to the formal public headng. No major concerns relative to the proposed amendment were raised by any of the attendees at the community meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 96-01 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval and recommend that the City Council issue a Negative Declaration.

PITASSI, AIA A O H T O T PROPOSED AMENDMENT ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN JANUARY 16, 1996 Backqround The Etlwanda Specific Plan was approved in 1983, and lncludes the northeastern corner of Rancho Cucamonga, north of Arrow Hwy., and generally east of Etiwanda Avenue. The Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan bisects the southern end of the Plan area' and includes land approximately 500 feet north and south of Foothill Blvd.. The Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan includes its own land use designations and development standards. The Etiwanda area has seen relatively little development over~ the past 13 years for a number of reasons . Major infrastructure improvements are yet to be developed including master plan drainage facilities which have not been constructed on a local or regional level. Without the possibility of realistically developing this area, the major flood control improvements for the east side of the city may never be realized. The City's position has been that private development efforts should solve the problems by constructing major master plan flood control facilities, storm drains, and retention basins, in addition to paying regional drainage fees intended to provide improvements to both San Sevine and Day Creek Flood Control Channels. These are major costs which have contributed to preventing private development from being economically viable. This dilemma has resulted in a severe devaluation of developable properties in Etiwanda. When the Etiwanda Specific Plan was created, its intent was, as indicated in Section 2.6 of the Plan, to preserve the areas unique qualities and retain its character and identity. Proposed Amendment Etiwanda Specific Plan January 16, 1996 Page 2 Those of us who have been in our community for a while, realize that the Etiwanda described in the Plan as worthy of protection, preservation, and emulation, is generally north of Base Line Road, and along Etiwanda Avenue. The beautiful turn of the century homes, rural roads, windrows, and rustic atmosphere reminds us of a time past. This rustic environment is bisected by the Interstate 15 Freeway cutting a 45 degree path through the north/south street grid established by the Chaffey brothers over 100 years ago. This interstate highway is 20-25 feet above grade and creates a physical boundary effectively establishing the southern edge of the "Etiwanda" we all think of. Area Description Our proposed amendment is intended to address both the undeveloped properties south of the Interstate 15 Freeway, west of East Avenue, and north of the Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan and the parcels north of Arrow Hwy., west of-the extension of Hickory Avenue, east of the Utility Easement,z and south of the Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan. This proposal should exclude the existing single family homes southeast of Foothill Blvd. and Etiwanda Avenue, and the existing multi- family development on the northeast corner of Arrow Hwy. and Etiwanda Avenue. These two areas north and south of Foothill Blvd. constitute the southern end of the Etiwanda Specific Plan' s jurisdiction. Parcels are designated either "LM", 4-8 dwelling units per acre, or "M", 8-14 dwelling units per acre, per the Official Land Use Map, Figure 5-1, of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. (See attached Exhibit No. 1. ) This land use seems consistent with the "Relative Land Use Intensities" indicated in Figure 4-2 of the Plan. When we examine the area described above, and review the neighboring land uses and potential uses, we see the following: The Interstate 15 Freeway is a physical boundary along the northwest edge. Proposed Amendment Etiwanda Specific Plan January 16, 1996 Page 3 The City of Fontana's "Village of Heritage" on the east side of East Avenue includes land uses along East Avenue, such as Office/Industrial, Public/Quasi Public, and "LM2" or residentially designated property of 6 d.u./acre, and minimum 4,000 sq. ft. lots. (See attached Exhibit No. 2.) The Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan includes a recently opened "power center" or sub-regional retail center on the southeast corner of Foothill Blvd. and the Interstate 15 Freeway. The Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan indicates retail, commercial, and office uses on both the north and south sides of Foothill Blvd. from the Interstate 15 Freeway to East Avenue. The Industrial Area Specific Plan governs the property south of Arrow Hwy. and west of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Foothill Blvd. Specific Plan. These land uses and boundaries seem to support "LM" and "M" Land Use Designations until the development standards of the~ Etiwanda Specific Plan are examined. If an applicant were to propose a multi-family project in the upper half of a parcel's respective density range, i.e. 6-8 d.u./acre in "LM" or 11-14 d.u./acre in "M", he would be required to comply with the Optional Development Standards, Figure 5-3 of the Plan. With some creative planning and design, a proposal could be prepared which would comply with the optional standards and propose multi-family product in the upper ends of each respective Land Use Designation. All are within the allowable densities and development standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. On the other hand, proposals for single family detached projects are penalized by the Basic Development Standards, Figure 5-2 (see attached Exhibit No. 3) for each designation. These standards require a 7,200 sq. ft. minimum lot size and a minimum average lot size of 10,000 sq. ft.. This results in an effective density of 2.5-3 d.u./acre for traditional single family detached development. This density is not even within the low end of each Land Use Designation. Proposed Amendment Etiwanda Specific Plan January 16, 1996 Page 4 proposed Amendment It is clear that the Etiwanda Specific Plan was created to preserve the unique aspects of the Etiwanda area through the establishment of restrictive development standards. The Basic Development Standards, referred to above, are generally intended for traditional single family detached development and include average lot sizes of 10,000-40,000 sq. ft. depending on the land use designation. It could be argued that the Basic Development Standards have also contributed to the lack of development in Etiwanda effectively decreasing density to levels well below what they appear to be. For example, an "LM" designation of 4-8 d.u./acre will effectively yield 2.5 to 3 d.u./acre in a traditional single family detached product, if designed to meet the standards of the Plan. We are proposing that the Basic Development Standards for the "LM" and "M" designations be revised for the area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway to more realistically address.the physical factors present in this area of the city. A~ revision of these standards would allow the possibility of reaching the mid to low levels of these density ranges with traditional single family development. Our proposal is not intended to alter the Basic Standards for the "Etiwanda" with which we all associate. In other words, the area north of the Interstate 15 Freeway which is the vast majority of the Plan. As described previously, the area in question has distinct boundaries which should be taken into consideration. Reasonable planning addresses land use and development standards based upon neighboring land use, physical boundaries, such as circulation elements, and transition of land use from higher intensity to lower intensities. Our proposal does not suggest removing this area from the Etiwanda Specific Plan, but rather revising the Basic Development Standards through creation of a "sub-area". (See attached Exhibit No. 1.) The Basic Development Standards for this sub-area under land use designations "LM" and "M" would become the City's Development Code, Table 17.08.040B. (See attached Exhibit No. 4.) This would allow an average lot size of 6,000 sq. ft. and a minimum lot size of 5,000 sq. ft. with supporting standards. Proposed Amendment Etiwanda Specific Plan January 16, 1996 Page 5 By seriously considering this proposal, we will more realistically address an area of the city which is, for the most part, currently undeveloped, and could remain so for quite some time. Our proposal provides development standards for single family homes which realistically address the juxtaposition of this property in relation to its immediate neighbors. The 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft. lot sizes are consistent with the "LM" designations of the Victoria Planned Community, the Terra Vista Planned Community, the City's Development Code, and the Village of Heritage, east of East Avenue. These lots sizes will generally yield densities in the 4.5- 5.5 d.u./acre range which is a reasonable transition from the surrounding commercial and residential uses to the more restrictive standards of the Etiwanda Plan, north of the Interstate 15 Freeway. Simply put, by requiring larger lot sizes, the current standards demand the development of a single family product type inconsistent with the surrounding land uses, thei significant infrastructure improvements necessary for development, and the intense commercial development projected along Foothill Blvd.. We believe that by creating a sub-area of the plan and not removing this area from the Etiwanda Specific Plan altogether, we will more clearly define land uses north and south of the freeway and strengthen the historically significant community it is intended to preserve. We also propose to preserve, within the sub-area, elements of the Plan which are unique to the City, such as the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District and the Architectural Standards described in Section 5.42 of the Plan. The Architectural and Design Guidelines of the Plan outlined in Article 5.42.600 should be addressed within this sub-area as follows: a. Items .601-. 604 should remain unchanged. b. Item . 605 does not apply to this Land Use Designation and should not be included within this sub-area. Proposed Amendment Etiwanda Specific Plan January 16, 1996 Page 6 c. Item .606 is certainly a challenge considering the desires of the new home market to enjoy the convenience and security of an attached garage. We believe, however, that the intent of this requirement can be achieved by combining side entry, front entry, and corner lot side entry garage locations. Therefore, this item should be retained within the sub-area with the removal of any reference to detached garages. Please review our Exhibits indicating a "Typical Street Plan" and a "Streetscape Elevation" attached to our proposed Specific Plan Amendment Application. These Exhibits render prototype housing units which address Items .602 and .606 of the Standards. d. Items . 607 and . 608 should remain unchanged. e. Items .609 and .610 are not practical requirements when the Standards of the Development Code are utilized. We contend that the undulation of street design and pattern will achieve the desired results of variety and interest in streetscape architecture. Items .609 and .610 should not be included within this sub-area. This proposal, if adopted, will not alter densities already established because, as mentioned previously, development of multi-family product could occur within the 4-8 and 8-14 designations at the midrange of these densities with no revision to the Plan. This proposal merely allows a more reasonable approach to single family development in an area physically separated from traditional Etiwanda, surrounded by similar and more intense land uses, and required to provide major infrastructure improvements for the east side of the city. We would appreciate your serious consideration of this proposal and we look forward to working with the Planning Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council in creating a sub-area of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which will allow reasonable yet sensitive growth to occur while respecting the unique architectural and historical essence of Etiwanda.

Q Q b) Short-term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short- term, to the advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definite period of time. Long-term impacts will endure W.e_ll into the future.) Q E3 c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect on the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) Q E)/'' Q d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? XXII. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. (Attach additional sheets with narrative description of the environmental impacts,) XXIll. DISCUSSION OF LAND USE IMPACTS. (Attach additional sheets examining whether the project would be consistent with existing zonin plans, and other applicable land use controls,) XXIV. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program El R, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier El R or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on th~ ea:rlier analysis. c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "less than Significant with Mitigation Incorpo- rated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. XXV. DETERMINATION. (To be completed by Lead Agency.) On the basis of this initial evaluation: a) I find that the proposed project coz~Icl not have a significant effect on the environment, and A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared .............................. ~/' b) I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the 'environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitig~tiotz ~ze~s~zres described on an attached sheet have been added to the project.

Earth: a) The area where the amendment is proposed is not within any known unstable earth condition area. b) The proposed amendment does not involve the modification to soil conditions for development of vacant land; this will be analyzed on a project specific basis. Therefore, the impact is not significant. c) The amendment does not involve constrcution of specific sites. The impacts of topographical changes will be analyzed on a project specific basis. Therefore, the impact is not significant. d) No known or unique geologic or physical features exist on the properties considered under the proposed amendment. e) With the proposed amendment, sites in the area have the potential of being developed with smaller lots and potentially more streets than would have otherwise been anticipated without the amendment. However, the density and overall development patterns anticipated with the changes to the development standards would be no different than if a porject was proposed in the area using the existing optional development standards. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not effect the potential for an increase for increased erosion or runoff. f) The area covered by the proposed amendment should not affect any oceans, bays, rivers, or lakes downstream. g) The majority of California is susceptible to earthquakes. The amendmet area is not within any known special study zone that will require additional studies or that poses a unique hazard. Even though development standard changes to allow for smaller lots is proposed, the density by which the properties can be developed is not proposed to change, thereby not exposing any more people to geologic hazards than already planned. II. Air: a) Although the number of vehicles that will eventually be a part of the area proposed for the amendment may be higher than originally anticipated because of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment, it would not be any more than if development occured under optional development standards already approved as part of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Again densities allowed within the area are not peoposed to change as part of the proposed amendment. Also, it is consistent with the information Initial Study Pan 2 Response ESPA 96-01 Page 2 contained in the General Plan EIR. The resultant air emissions will not have a significant impact on air quality. b) No additional objectionable odors are anticipated in conjunction with the proposed specific plan amendment. c) The proposed amendment will not result in alteration to the regional climate or air movement. III. Water: a) The proposed amendment will not affect the currents or course of water movement. These potiential effects will be analyzed on a project specific basis. b) The absorption rate, drainage pattems and surface rimoff will not be altered because development is not proposed at this time as part of the proposed Etiwanda Spacific Plan Amendment. Therefore, the impact is not significant. c) The amendment, since it does not involve specific project development at this time, will not alter the course or flow of flood waters. This will be analyzed on a project by project basis as development is proposed. d) The proposed amendment will not affect the amount of surface water in any body. e) The amendment does not involve development or discharging into any surface waters. f) Due to the deep water table in this area, no alteration of groundwater is expected to occur with this amendment. g) No development is proposed with the amendment, therefore, direct additions or withdrawals of ground water are not proposed. h) The project area has already been designed and/or constructed as to the appropriate water supplies necessary as the area develops. Since the overall density is sill in line with what was originally planned for the area, significant changes area not needed or anticipated. i) The project area is predominately outside of the established flood plain. Since no development is proposed as a part of this application, the flooding issues will be analyzed on a project specific basis. IV. Plant Life: a) The diversity of plant life will be altered with the removal of existing eucalyptus windrows and the introduction of new plant species. The Etiwanda Specific Plan acknowledges their potential removal. This amendment will not alter the number of trees to be removed under current regulations. These issues will be analyzed further on a project specific basis as development is proposed. b) There are known rare, unique, or endangered species within the amendment area. c) Landscaping introduced to the area will be compatible with existing landscaping material for development in the immediate area and appropriate for the climactic conditions of the area. The plant palette will continue the pattern of existing development in the area. d) No agricultural crops are currently being managed in the project area. Initial Study Part 2 Response ESPA 96-01 Page 3 V. Animal Life: a) There are no known animals that currently occupy the amendment area on a regular basis. b) There are no known rare, unique, or endangered species in this area. c) No new species will be introduced as a result of the amendment. d) In that no animals currently use the area on a regular basis, the development of homes in the future will have no impact on fish or wildlife habitat. VI. Noise: a) Again, no residences are proposed with this amendment application. The property is currently vacant and will remain as such as a result of this application. However, with the proposed amendment, the future development of an increased number of homes within the area subject to noise impacts will increase the noise level by the mere fact that the property is currently vacant. The level of noise increase, however, is not significant. b) The noise levels for a portion of this project area closest to the Interstate 15 Freeway could be severe given the close proximity of the Interstate 15 Freeway. However, given that this amendment does not affect the proposed density in the area, the potential effects of noise to a specific project will be assessed on a project specific basis for those projects which area within the area of concern. Therefore, no significant noise impacts should occur as a result of this amendment request. VII. Light and Glare: a) No new light and glare will be created because the properties are currently vacant and will remain as such with this application. VIII. Land Use: a) This application, an amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan, is proposed to reduce the minimum and minimum average lot size for the area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway for all properties zoned Low-Medium and Medium Residential. Despite the smaller proposed lot sizes, the density of the proposed porject is still well within the perscribed range of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre that is allowed for the LM zoning within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The proposal is therefore still consistent with Etiwanda Specific Plan and related EIR. Therefore, no significant land use impacts associated with the Specific Plan Amendment are anticipated. IX. Natural Resources: a) The possible increase in the number of homes with this amendment proposed will not significantly increase the rate of natural resource consumption. X. Risk of Upset: a) Single family residences, which is the type of development anticipated for the area affected by the proposed amendment, do not typically contain materials of the type of quantities that could lead to an explosion or the release of hazardous materials. Initial Study Part 2 Response ESPA 96-01 Page 4 b) The proposed amendment wilt not interfere with emergency response or create additional concerns related to emergency response in the area. XI. Population: a) The amendment, given that area density and type of development is not anticipated to change with the application, is consistent with the expected population distribution in the area and as anticipated in the Etiwanda Specific Plan EIR. XII. Housing: a) The residential project area affected by the proposed amendment will not create the need for additional housing. XIII. Transportation: a) The proposed amendment, since the density still falls within the prescribed range already allowed by the Etiwanda Specific Plan, will not generate any more trips than was originally anticipated. The number of trips is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan EIR. The impact will not be significant. b) All required parking will be required on-site for future projects in the amendment area. c) While the amendment proposal will not directly cause automoble trips to occur, projects within the amendment area will have a negative cumulative impact on the existing transportation network as they are developed. Since the amendment is not increasing density, however, the impacts should not be any more significant than if the amendment were not proposed. Project will be evaluated on a project specific basis to determine what mitigations are necessary as the area affected by the amendment develops. d) The project will maintain and will not affect the existing circulation patterns for the movement of goods. e) The project will not affect air, water, or rail traffic. f) The application is not expected to increase the risk of traffic hazards because no new construction is proposed at this time. Therefore, the impact is not significant. XIV. Public Services: a) The Fire Department is currently serving the general area, but since the application will not directly increase the number of homes to the area, a potential strain on existing services should not occur. Emergency response times should not be effected making the overall impact insignificant. b) No substantial new police services are expected with the amendment. c) The school districts having jurisdiction have notified the City of the current impaction problems. School fees for the construction or upgrading of school facilities will be collected as a mitigation at the time of building permit issuance as each project with the affected area develops. d) Within the amendment area, a future neighborhood park is planned. However, this requirement is not a direct result of the Amendment. The application will not Initial Study Part 2 Response ESPA 96-01 Page 5 increase the need for additional park ~cilities since the density will still be within the prescribed range already allowed within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. e) The Amendment area will require new roads as pan of the development. However, as each project is proposed, they will be evaluated specifically as to their impacts and mitigations applied as deemed necessary. The impact at this time is not significant. f) No other government services are expected to be affected by this proposal. XV. Enerk, v a) Additional amounts of fuel or energy are not expected to be used as a result of the proposed amendment. b) Since the amendment does not increase the potential density beyond what is already allowed for the affected area, it is not expected to result in substantial increase on the demand of existing energy sources or the need for new energy sources. XVI. Utilities and Service Systems: a) The amendment will not result in the need for power or natural gas systems. b) The amendment will not result in the need for new communication systems. c) The amendment will not require the use of any water systems at this time. d) The discharge from the area will be handled as needed in the future by the existing and/or master planned sewer facilities. e) Existing or planned storm drain pipes will be provided as individual projects are processed within the area for which the amendment covers. f') No significant solid waste disposal will be necessary as a result of the proposed amendment. Induvidual projects will be analyzed for their impacts individually, but typically residential projects such as those anticipated for the area will not result in a significant amount of new services needed for solid waste disposal.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAIVIONGA ' ~ STAFF REPORT DATE: March 27, 1996 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller. City Planner BY: Steve Hayes, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES - A request to initiate text changes to the Etiwanda Specific Plan development standards for the area south of the 1-15 Freeway. Related Files: Preliminary Review 95-10 and Tentative Tract 15711. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Diversified Pacific Homes, Ltd., is requesting modifications to the Basic Development Standards for the Low Medium and Medium Residential Districts of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Specifically, the applicant is asking to modify the Basic Development Standards for the Low Medium and Medium Residential Districts to be similar to those under the Basic Development Standards of the Development Code for the area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway. Examples of the proposed modifications include but are not limited to, the minimum and minimum average lot size and setbacks. The proposed modifications are shown on the Basic Development Standards Table from the Etiwanda Specific Plan (included with Exhibit "A"). The proposed modifications require an amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and text changes such as the one proposed can only be initiated by the Planning Commission or City Council. The Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment application will be considered by the Planning Commission at a future meeting. ANALYSIS: At the direction of the Planning Commission, staff will analyze and recommend possible modifications to the Basic Development Standards Table within the Etiwanda Specific Plan as part of the request for modifications to the development standards within the Low Medium and Medium Residential Districts. To determine the most appropriate basic development standards for the Low Medium and Medium Residential Districts for the area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway, staff will review existing basic development standards within the Development Code and the existing standards within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, while considering the uniqueness of the area in Etiwanda south of the Interstate 15 Freeway where the amendment is proposed. A comparative analysis will be forwarded to the Commission under separate cover to be considered prior to, or concurrently with, any related Tentative Tract Map. Currently, the Etiwanda Specific Plan requires that individual lots within the Low Medium and Medium Residential districts be a minimum size of 7,200 square feet with a minimum average size of 10.000 square feet under the Basic Development Standards. The applicant is proposing to modify the Basic Standards for the Low Medium and Medium Residential districts in the Etiwanda Specific Plan to be consistent with the current Low Medium Residential Basic Development Standards in the Development Code (5,000 square foot minimum, 6,000 square foot minimum average) and to create an overlay "sub-area" for the properties south of the freeway zoned "LM" d PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC HOMES March 27, 1996 Page 2 and "M." In conjunction with this request, the applicant has submitted a Tentative Tract Map for a 331 lot subdivision on approximately 80 acres of the property under consideration for these amendments. If the application for amendment includes all differences between the Basic Development Standards in the Etiwanda Specific Plan and Development Code, then other resulting changes would be smaller minimum lot widths and depths; lesser minimum front, corner side and rear yard building setbacks; and a greater allowable lot coverage. Staff will analyze these modifications in greater detail and provide another report to the Commission in the future. The only other standard that the applicant is asking to delete from the requirements for the "LM" and "M" properties south of the freeway is the standard stating that "at least 50 percent of dwellings shall be plotted parallel to the street frontage." With the proposed smaller lot sizes, the applicant feels that this requirement is not feasible and is not required in areas governed by the Development Code. Attached to this report is the applicant's justification letter, which goes into detail about the proposed request for amendment and includes a Map of Land Uses and the Basic Development Standards Tables from the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the Development Code (see Exhibit "A"). COMMUNITY MEETING: A community meeting was originally scheduled for March 18, 1996, with all property owners in the Etiwanda area south of the Interstate 15 Freeway and within a 1,000 foot radius of the affected area invited. At the request of the applicant, this meeting has been tentatively rescheduled for April 23, 1996. The applicant requested the later date in order to respond to staffs February 28 incompleteness letter on this project and the related Tentative Tract Map. ACTION: Staff requests that the Planning Commission accept, through minute action, the proponent's request to initiate the text change through the submittal of an application for an Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment for a modification to the Basic Development Standards for the Low Medium and Medium Residential Development Districts. Any change in the Development Standards will be considered upon receipt of an application and fees for an Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment which will come before the Commission at a future date.

BACKGROUND: On May 3, 1996, the applicant, Lewis Homes, submitted a development concept for the vacant site on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Elm and Milliken Avenues for review of conformity with the Terra Vista Community Plan. Attached is a letter of request from the applicant, see Exhibit "A." The purpose of this report is for the Commission to make a determination on whether the proposed development concept is in conformance with the Terra Vista Community Plan and to provide direction to the applicant for the next step of the application process. It is not staffs intention to use this venue as design review for the proposed development concept. ANALYSIS: This section of the report focuses on describing the existing and surrounding land uses for the site, the proposed development concept, comparing the land use designation and the design guidelines of the Terra Vista Community Plan with the proposed development concept, and examining the types of retail businesses allowed for the site. A. Site and Surroundinq Land Uses: The site is undeveloped and zoned for a mixed use of Financial, Restaurants, and Residential, (MFC) as shown in Exhibit "C." A 6.5-acre parcel is set aside for residential development under the high density range, which is 24 to 30 units per acre. North of the site is an existing condominium complex, west of the site is Town Center Square, east of the site is partially developed with the Rancho San Antonio Medical Center and partially undeveloped, and south of the site is undeveloped land. B. Proposed Development Concept: As shown in Exhibit "B," the proposed development concept for the site includes a 6-acre parcel for residential development and a mixed use center totaling 135,000 square feet of floor area. The mixed use center consists of a cluster of buildings along Foothill Boulevard, a service station with drive-thru at the corner of Elm Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, two major retail buildings totaling 74,000 square feet at the northwest side of the site, and a parking field in the middle of the site. According to the applicant, they have a tenant for the service station, a Texaco with a drive- thru for Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) such as Baskin Robbins and/or Taco Bell. This ITEM G PEANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 96-01- LEWIS HOMES June 12, 1996 Page 2 proposed development concept is intended to be a master plan for the site so that they could proceed with the development application for the service station. They are not ready to develop the residential parcel. They do not have tenants for the other buildings, but are pursuing retail tenants for the two proposed anchor buildings (Majors A and B). C. Conformance with Land Use and Desiqn Guidelines? Chapter III of the Terra Vista Community Plan and as shown in Exhibit "D," describes the site as one that features "a broad - mixture of financial institutions (banks, savings and loans, and brokerages), restaurants (to function as the "restaurant row" of Rancho Cucamonga), and residential development." It further describes the physical arrangement of the site to one where the parking area is at the center hidden from direct view of motorists on Foothill Boulevard, a loop pedestrian pathway is provided to link all development within the site and adjoining parcels, and the residential development is oriented to the nodh side to take advantage of the park view. Chapter IV of the Terra Vista Community Plan further describes the site as a "Financial/Restaurant Plaza" wherein a mix of financial businesses and restaurants co-exist through a shared parking arrangement based upon off-set peak demand hours. The proposed development concept does reflect a mixed use development, which in staff's opinion was the primary intent of the MFC designation. The major departure from the original conceptual site plan shown as Figure IV-73 in the Terra Vista Community Plan (Exhibit "E"), is the inclusion of two major anchor retail buildings occupying 55 percent (50,515 & 24,000 square feet) of the total square footage of the proposed development. The relation of these two buildings to their neighboring uses, residential to the east and small scale commercial buildings to the south along Foothill Boulevard, remains similar in concept to the plan noted above. Staff believes the applicant's proposal raises the question whether the odginal financial center concept is still a viable prospect for today. Inclusion of stronger retail anchors to this block of uses may in fact strengthen the possibility of the rest of the center developing as a mixed use block. D. Retail Businesses Allowed in MFC Zone: The Terra Vista Community Plan allows a general category of "retail businesses" in this zone, see Exhibits "F1 and F2." Because it is such a broad term, it could be argued that all retail businesses listed under Community Commercial zone (CC) and as shown in Exhibit "F3" would be allowed in the MFC zone. Staff believes that the general category of "retail businesses" is very broad and because it is not clearly defined by the plan, some clarification may be necessary as this project moves forward. Clarification may include a new listing of appropriate commercial/retail uses that will be compatible with the intent of creating a strong and successful mixed use project or establishment of a maximum percentage of square footage that will be allowed for retail use within the project. In either case, staff supports the applicant's position that retail commercial uses are permitted. E. Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concludes that the proposed development concept does in concept meet the intent of the land use designation and the design guidelines. The use section of the MFC zone however, should be modified to add a definition and parameters for the retail use. Staff believes that the proposed development would be in conformance with the Terra Vista Community Plan. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 96-01- LEWIS HOMES June 12, 1996 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission find the proposed plan conceptually consistent and in conformance with the Terra Vista Community Plan. Further, that as the applicant proceeds with developing final plans for this project, that amendments to the Terra Vista Community Plan be processed to clearly define the mix of uses that will result in a successful project.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Dear Brad: Lewis Homes Retail formally requests the Planning Commission revie~v the attached plan for it's opL~ion on how it conforms to the current Community Plan. We would like to discuss this issue at the earliest possible date. Our reading of the land use and zoning provisious of the community plan is that these proposed uses are in conformity. The MFC zoning includes retail businesses as a collective catego~ of uses. So the plan is consistent with the uses outlined in the community plan, The concern you expressed is whether the plan is consistent from the urban design perspective. We believe it is consistent and attempted as best us is practical to keep the parking focused in the center away from the outer edges. We are all aware that Kancho Cucamonga has not become as urban or dense as xvas the thoughts behind the Comrntll~ty Plan when it was developed. You are also aware that the City Council has no concern, as expressed in their previous meeting, for allowing more retail uses along Foothill. The issue appears to be solely one of how to layout the site. We look forward to meeting with you to clar~,' this plan concern and being able to move ahead with the development of the site. Please call Chuck Beecher or myself with any questions.

BACKGROUND: On February 14, 1996, the Planning Commission conducted a Pre-Application Review 96-01 on the "San Vineyard" project proposed by Mark-Taylor on the north side of Base Line Road, west of Victoria Park Lane. Commissioner Melcher expressed concerns with the open space arrangement and suggested that the Montecito apax tment project developed by Lewis in Terra Vista was a good example. Staff has analyzed the open space concept of both projects. The results of this analysis is contained in the attached memorandum. Full size plans of both projects will be available at the meeting. Respectfully submitted, ;uller City Planner BB:DC:gs Attachments: Exhibit "A" - March 12, 1996 Memorandum Exhibit "B" - San Vineyard Site Plan Exhibit "C" - Montecito Site Plan ITEM H CITY OF RANCH0 CUCAMONGA MEMORANDUM DATE: March 12, 1996 TO: John Melcher, Planning Commis loner FROM: Dan Coleman, Principal Plann~ SUBJECT: PAR 96-01 - MARK-TAYLOR Staff always appreciates your comments on design issues. As you recall, our staff comments were quite positive to the Mark Taylor site plan so when you made your comments we looked into the matter and found the following. In your comments, you felt'that the open space was poorly conceived and suggested that a good example was the Montecito apartment project in Terra Vista. Staff has compared the two attached site plans and believes that the San Vineyard open space concept is superior to Montecito in several respects. 1. San Vineyard features a larger open space system when overlaid onto the Montecito site plan (overlay enclosed). 2. The majority of buildings within San Vineyard face directly onto the common open space whereas less than one-third of the buildings within Montecito face directly onto the central open space spine. 3. The San Vineyard open space is continuous and flows unimpeded into all areas of the project whereas the Montecito open space is broken up into six distinct areas. 4. The Montecito open space system consists of one large central spine, one narrow fire lane corridor. and four smaller pods as narrow as 45 feet, completely surrounded by buildings. The open space pods within San Vineyard are significantly larger. 5. From a tenant's perspective, pedestrian access throughout the open space system is continuous within San Vineyard whereas some open space areas within Montecito are isolated with no direct connections to other open space areas. I hope this clarifies sta~s positive statements at the meeting regarding the overall site plan concept. Please call so we can discuss this further. If there are better ways of laying this site plan out and getting a better project we are all for it. DC:sp Attachments: Site Plans cc: Brad Buller, City Planner CONUTY OF S
