David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Buller, Secretary I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby cedify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 10th day of April 1996 by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAIvIONGA -- STAFF REPORT DATE: April 10, 1996 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Steve Hayes, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: DEVleLOPMENT REVIEW 95-29 - FLATFEN - A request to construct a 3,974 square foot hillside residence located in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at 8900 Hillside Road - APN: 1061-251-29. Related File: Variance 96-04. VARIANCE 96-04 - FLATFEN - A request to construct a 10*foot high retaining wall adjacent to a pdvate driveway for a proposed custom single family hillside residence of 3,974 square feet, located in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at 8900 Hillside Road - APN: 1061-251-29. Related File: Development Review 95-29. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The proposed residence is located on a parcel of approximately 1.59 acres of land that was recently created with the approval of Tentative Parcel Map 12877. Two ravines with a distinct ridge in between run from northwest to southeast across the property. The residence is plotted on top of the ridge near the rear of the parcel. The site is covered with native scrub vegetation but has no significant trees or structures. A Community Trail and curb and gutter exist along the Hillside Road frontage. ANALYSIS: A. General: This custom residence requires consideration of the Planning Commission due to the proposed cutJfill in excess of 5 feet from the existing grade on the property. The areas where the depth of cuts and fills exceed 5 feet in height area are concealed underneath the driveway on the east side of the residence and under the proposed balcony on the west side of the house. The 3,974 square foot custom residence has been designed to meet the technical aspects of the Hillside Development Ordinance by fitting the house within the required building height envelope, stepping the residence predominately with the natural slope of the land, and fitting a majority of the residence within the slope influence lines. Furthermore, the house is mostly single story and has a side-on garage to be more aesthetically sensitive to public view, as seen from Hillside Road. The 3-car garage is on the east side of the residence and the driveway leading up to the garage is on a fairly significant area of fill and is proposed to be retained by a "Loffelstein" crib retaining wall of up to 10 feet in height. The crib wall would allow for ground cover landscaping and irrigation to be planted in steps between the blocks to soften the visual impact of the wall. The long driveway includes decorative paving strips, a hammerhead turnaround area near Hillside Road, and a circular turnaround area approximately half-way between the street and the residence. ITEMS B & c PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 95-29 * VAR 96-04 - FLATTEN April 10, 1996 Page 2 B. Variance: The applicant has submitted a Variance application to allow for the construction of the 10-foot maximum height "Loffelstein" crib wall mentioned earlier. The crib wall is approximately 200 feet in length and reaches a maximum height of 10 feet in height in line with the main portion of the residence and tapers down to blend in with the natural terrain as it heads north and south. The Hillside Development Regulations restrict the height of retaining walls adjacent to driveways to 4 feet. The purpose of the limited retaining wall height is to lessen any negative visual impacts associated with tall walls in front yard areas highly visible f~0m streets and to minimize grading or drastically alter the natural features in hillside areas. The applicant contends that the wall is necessary in order to provide a side-on odented garage_, which is preferred for its aesthetics in viewing the residence from the street. In staffs opinion, the side-on garage combined with the proposed landscaped crib wall will provide a more aesthetically pleasing street scene than a three-car garage facing Hillside Road with a standard 4-foot high retaining wall. Staff has incorporated a condition into the Resolution of Approval for the Variance that the crib wall be landscaped and irrigated. C. Design Review Committee: On March 19, 1996, the Committee (Barker, Henderson) reviewed the conceptual plans and recommended approval of the project with conditions specified in the attached action agenda (Exhibit "G"). D. Gradinq Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the project at its regularly scheduled meeting of February 20, 1996, and found the plans technically acceptable, but felt the depth and amount of cut and fill, cdb wall appearance, should be considered as part of the overall project design at the Planning Commission meeting. CORRESPONDENCE: The Variance has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices have been sent to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review 95-29 and Variance 96-04 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions.

The Loffelstein wall is a sloped, attractive, plantable slope enhancement wall. This landscaped slope enhancement wall is the preferred technique for a retaining wall along a driveway according to the Hillside Development standard 17.24.060 B.3.b. and F.2. This variance for a Loffelstem slope enhancement wall is compatible with the surrounding area, a drainage ravine, and is not visible from the street. A small portion of the Loffelstein wall will be visible only ~om the immediate eastern residences' side yards, of which, the closest is over 200 feet away. L DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 5:00 p.m. Steve Hayes March 19, 1996 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 95-29 - FLATTEN - A request to construct a 3,974 square foot hillside residence located in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at 8900 Hillside Road - APN: 1061-251-29. Design Parameters: The proposed residence is located on a parcel of approximately 1.59 acres that was recently created with the approval of Tentative Parcel Map 12877. Two ravines with a distinct ridge in between run from northwest to southeast across the property. The residence is plotted on the ridge near the rear of the portion of property 15roposed for development at this time. A Community Trail is existing along the Hillside Road frontage. Native scrub vegetation covers the site. Single Family residences exist east and west of the site, while the land directly to the north of the area proposed for development is vacant. The property to the south is Heritage Park. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Ma_i. or Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: (For the Committee's information, the Grading Committee found the proposed design technically acceptable but determined that this item should be forwarded to the Design Review Committee to determine whether the aesthetic impacts created by the design of the residence are consistent with the intent of the Hillside Development Standards. The Committee should consider the proposed design of the residence as it relates to the site specific constraints associated with the parcel. Specific aesthetic concerns are as follows): 1. Although the proposed design of the residence generally falls with the natural slope of the land, the pad steps only 2 feet over an area that has a natural fall of over 8 feet in vertical height. The applicant has stated that the potential aesthetic impact related to the height and effective bulk of the house are mitigated through a predominately single story house design. Staff does agree that the design mitigates this concern; however, more significant steps could be incorporated to lessen grading, which is also specifically mentioned as a goal of the Hillside Development Ordinance. 2. The applicant is proposing to utilize a "Loffelstein" crib wall along the east side of the driveway. This wall would be approximately 10 feet tall in the worst case scenario. The Hillside Development Standards prohibits retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height and encourages terracing with a minimum of 3 feet of landscaping between retaining walls. The present design would require a Variance. Originally, the applicant had proposed a standard retaining wall along this edge, but changed to the crib wall to attempt to address the aesthetic concern relative to the retaining wall height. The height of the crib wall can be mitigated somewhat by landscaping, which can be planted in between levels or steps of the crib wall. Ideally, however, staff would prefer this wall to be constructed in segments to allow for more significant areas of landscaping. However, in this case, the area where the crib wall is proposed is already beyond the slope influence line and into an area of fairly significant slope down to a ravine, so terracing the wall may reduce slope stability. The Committee should consider whether the crib wall is the best solution given the specific constraints of this situation. Staff feels that it is the best solution, unless the entire layout of the residence is revised to be more contained within the slope influence lines. (For example, the wall could be moved westerly and subsequently lowered in height if the garage was designed to face south. However, - having the garage side onto the house offers a much better view of the residence from Hillside Road). DRC COMMENTS DR 95-29 - FLATTEN March 19, 1996 Page 2 Secondary_ Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Given the significant length of the proposed driveway and its high visibility from Hillside Road, additional decd/ative paving areas should be provided. 2. Areas of glass bl_ock Should be replaced with a more integrated architectural element or eliminated. Policy Issues:' The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. Front yard landscaping and downslope landscaping. should be provided in accordance with the Hillside Development Regulations. Proper landscaping is especially critical in this situation given the natural topography of the parcel and its susceptibility to fire. All landscaping should comply with the City's Wildland Interface requirements. $taffRecommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee determine whether the proposed residence design is in compliance with the spkit and intent ofthe Hillside Development Ordinance. If so, then staffwould recommend that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration. However, if the Committee feels that a significant redesign of the residence is necessary, then the item should be brought back to the Committee for further review. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: David Barker, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Committee recommended approval of the residence as presented, with the secondary and policy issues incorporated into the Resolution of Approval.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Project Density: 3.49 dwelling units per acre. B. Surroundinq Land Use and Zonino: North Single Family Residential; Victoria Community Plan, Low-Medium Density Residential (4-6 dwelling units per acre) South - Vacant Property; Etiwanda Specific Plan. Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Vacant Automotive Service Building and Vacant Property; Etiwanda Specific Plan, Low-Medium Density Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Single Family Residential; Victoria Community Plan, Low-Medium Density Residential (4-6 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Neighborhood Commercial and Low-Medium Residential (4-8 units per acre) North - Low Residential (2-4 units per acre) South - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 units per acre) East Low-Medium Residential (4-8 units per acre) West Low Residential (2-4 units per acre) ITEMS E & F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 'I'F 15732 & CUP 95-38 - LEWIS HOMES April 10, 1996 Page 2 D. Site Characteristics: The site consists of three parcels and two private street lots totaling 9.46 acres. The existing lot configuration is a result of a previously approved Mixed Use Commercial/Residential project for which a Final Map was recorded but was never constructed. There are four California Pepper trees along the Etiwanda Avenue frontage which are to be preserved in accordance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan. E. Applicable R~aulations: The property lies within the Community Services (CS) District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which allows residential uses under the Low-Medium Residential Standards. The Community Services District requires a Conditional Use Permit for any development on the site. The corner of Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue is designated as a "community entry" to the Etiwanda area with a requirement for special landscape and design treatment (primarily an informal row of Scarlet Oak trees). BACKGROUND: This site was previously approved for46 condominiums (Tentative Tract 13866) and a small shopping center (Conditional Use Permit 88-01). A Tree Removal Permit was also approved. The project stopped at the rough grading stage and the approvals have expired. ANALYSIS: A. General: On December 28, 1994, the Planning Commission considered a PreoApplication Review for a 70-unit single family residential proposal for the site by Lewis Homes. The Commission was supportive of developing the entire corner with a residential development concept. but felt that the small lot size (approximately 5,000 square feet) and orientation of lots away from Etiwanda Avenue did not meet the intent of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant has responded to this direction with the current 33 home project which features larger lots (9,939 square foot average lot size). Because of the right-turn lane on Etiwanda Avenue. only the two lots outside the turning lane were oriented to the street to avoid creating safety hazards or interrupting traffic flow. The 33 proposed homes would range in size from 1,949 square feet to 2,970 square feet with lots ranging in size from 8,028 square feet to 17,408 square feet. A total of three floor plans is proposed, each with either two or three elevations. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, McNiel, Henderson) reviewed the project on February 20. 1996, and recommended that the project be brought back before the Committee with the following changes for further consideration: 1. Redesign the homes so that the garages are not the dominant feature fronting the street. Provide deeper, more dramatic garage setbacks for Plan 441. Move garage at least 12 feet behind the front part of the home. The Committee is open to the use of other methods of de-emphasizing the garages for the remaining homes. 2. Re-plot homes with side-on garages (Plan 268) to respect the required 25-foot minimum front setback. Use retaining walls at the toe of slope, if necessary, to provide additional room in the rear yard area to accommodate moving the homes back from the front property lines. The Committee does not object to an 18-inch architectural projection into the front setback. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT '1'F 15732 & CUP 95-38 - LEWIS HOMES April 10, 1996 Page 3 3. Replace existing wood fencing along the north and west property lines with new wood fencing. The Committee strongly recommends that the applicant hold a neighborhood meeting to discuss this issue with adjacent properly owners. The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, McNiel, Henderson) considered the revised project on March 5, .!996, at which time the Committee recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Expand the application of wood siding on all elevations of the Plan 441 and Plan 516 homes, where visible from or located adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue or Base Line Road, by providing wood siding on the second floor level between the eaves and the bottom of the second floor windows and adding an appropriate batten or other plant-on element along the bottom edge of the wood siding to provide a seam between the wood siding and the stucco. 2. Add trim around all windows/sliding glass doors of the Plan 441 and Plan 516 homes where visible from or located adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue or Base Line Road. 3. Extend the front porch element, for all Plan 441 homes, to wrap around the left front corners of the homes to extend at least half-way back along the extedor side wall of the "den." To ensure a functional design, provide a minimum width of 5 feet. The Committee does not object to minor setback encroachments, if necessary, to accommodate the side-wrapping porch design. The applicant felt that some of the lots would be too narrow to accommodate the Plan 441 home with the wrapping porch design and, for the sake of simplicity of construction, decided not to provide wrapping porches for any Plan 441 homes. However, staff found that almost half of the lots would be wide enough to accommodate the Plan 441 homes, with wrapping porches, without encroaching upon side yard setbacks. Staff sent the item back to the Design Review Committee in an effort to resolve the issue prior to the Planning Commission hearing. The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, McNiet, Henderson) considered the revised project on April 2, 1996, at which time the Committee recommended approval subject to the following additional conditions: 1. Where necessary to avoid side yard setback encroachment, reduce the width of the porch along the side of the Plan 441 homes to 4 feet. This would apply only to Lots 7 and 20. The four remaining Plan 441 homes would have 5-foot wide wrapping porches, except for the Plan 441 home on lot 4, which is not recommended to have a wrapping porch. 2. Provide a Plan 268 home on Lot 10 and a Plan 441 home. with wrapping porch. on Lot 33. 3. Use decorative railings for all porches on all home plans. 4. For the comer lots at the intersection of "A" Street and Etiwanda Avenue (Lots 16 and 17), provide a sound attenuation wall to mitigate exterior noise levels within useable outdoor space only. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TT15732 & CUP 95-38-LEWIS HOMES April10,1996 Page 4 5. Per Planning Commission policy, use native cobblestones (not manufactured) for wall and pilaster treatment. However, the Committee did not object to the applicant's providing a sample of synthetic cobblestone for review at the Planning Commission hearing. C. Gradinq and Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by both Committees and determined, with the recommended conditions of approval, to be in conformance with applicable standards and ordinances. D. Minor Exceptions: Staff has directed the applicant to design the project with a through connection between Etiwanda Avenue and Base Line Road. This would allow users of the project the maximum choice in travel direction given the right-in/right-out restriction at the Base Line Road intersection. However, the additional roadway leaves too little remaining land area to accommodate the proposed 33 lots with an average size of 10,000 square feet as required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The proposed average lot size is 9,932 square feet which is 68 square feet (less than 1 percent) below the 10,000 square foot requirement. The applicant has requested a Minor Exception for relief from the required average minimum lot size. The City Planner will grant the Minor Exception assuming the Commission approves the project. E. Tree Removal Permit: The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit requesting the removal of one Eucalyptus tree along Base Line Road and four Mulberry trees at the corner of Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue. The Eucalyptus tree conflicts with proposed street and perimeter wall improvements and the four Mulberry trees would interfere with grading necessary for one of the homes. An arborist study prepared for the project indicates that these trees would not survive transplantation. These trees are not required to be preserved by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In keeping with the Tree Preservation Ordinance, staff recommends that these trees be replaced with the largest nursery grown trees available and incorporated into the overall landscaping for the project. The applicant is also requesting relocation of four existing Palm trees which conflict with street and grading improvements on Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue. The trees will be incorporated into the project landscaping near the proposed entrances to the Tract on Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue. A fifth tree is proposed to be relocated, but no replacement site is shown on the Landscape Plan. The arborist study indicates that these trees can be relocated. Staff recommends that these five Palm trees be relocated. as necessary, to accommodate the project in conformance with the criteria established in the arborist report. Staff also identified that the site contains several California Pepper trees which are required to be preserved and maintained by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. An arborist report was prepared which indicated that the trees are healthy and worthy of preservation in-place. In addition, there are several other trees which must be relocated or removed and replaced as discussed above. The report provides certain criteria that must be followed in order to preserve the trees both during construction and after project completion. The project design would preserve the Pepper trees in place. Conditions of approval will require protective measures during construction. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 'R'15732 & CUP 95-38-LEWIS HOMES April10,1996 Page 5 F. Environmental Assessment: This site is subject to excessive future noise levels from Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue. An acoustical analysis was prepared which indicated that a 7-foot high sound wall along the Base Line Road frontage and a 4-foot high sound wall along the Etiwanda Avenue frontage would effectively mitigate exterior noise within acceptable levels. The acoustical analysis also indicated certain home construction techniques (dU. al-glazed windows, insulated walls, etc.) will be necessary to mitigate interior noise levels within acceptable levels. With the above recommended mitigating measures as conditions of approval, staff feels that a Mitigated Negative Declaration can be issued for the project. FACTS FOR FINDING: The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project, with the added mitigation measures, will not be detrimental to the public health or safety, or cause nuisances or significant adverse environmental impacts. The project, together with the conditions of approval, is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and City Standards. CORRESPONDENCE: These items have been advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper as a public hearing, the site has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract 15732, Conditional Use Permit 95-38, and Tree Removal Permit 96-05 and issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Re: Conditional Use Permit 96-04 - Francis Balchak; Video Arcade and Pool Room Dear Sir or Madam: I am one of the owners and former president of the association of Rancho Meadows, the apartment community adjacent to the shopping center where the proposed video arcade and pool room are to be located. For a number of years the association has worked to create a pleasant, close-knit family community where families with young children may feel welcome and comfortable and safe. Last year great strides were made toward that goal with a summer program of activities for the children in the complex. The association has every intention of continuing and expanding these programs, thus encouraging young families to reside there. The association has also worked toward providing a law-abiding group of tenants. Unlike some apartment communities in the area, a visit to Rancho Meadows by the police department is now a rare event. I understand that the pool room and video arcade have been open for the last few weeks and that during that short period of time there have been several fights and the amount of graffiti on Rancho Meadows walls has greatly increased. It is therefore clear that the pool room has already attracted a group of people who will create an atmosphere which is inappropriate for the safe and pleasant family apartment community of Rancho Meadows. It is also clear that the pool room owner has not taken the steps necessary to control his clientele (and it may not be possible for him to do I am firmly convinced that the shopping center at Baseline and Hellman is an inappropriate place for a poolroom and video arcade and would be detrimental to the neighborhood and the residential community nearby.

Name Address Signature CITY OF RANCHO CUCA1VIONGA -- STAFF RF, PORT DATE: April 10, 1996 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Alan Warren, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96-04 - FRANCIS BALCHAK - A request to establish a 1,075 square foot video arcade and a 2,207 square foot pool room in conjunction with a 2,100 square foot restaurant within the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) shopping center located at the southwest corner of Hellman Avenue and Base Line Road - APN 208-202-17 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundino Land Use and Zonino: North - Office use, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Multiple family residential complex, Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) East Office building. Office/Professional West Park and recreation facilities, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) B. General Plan Desionations: Project Site - Neighborhood Commercial North - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) East Office West Civic/Community C. Site Characteristics: The project's location is within the neighborhood shopping center at the southwest corner of Hellman Avenue and Base Line Road (Exhibit "D"). The center consists of 28,000 square feet of lease space within a main building and two smaller satellite buildings. Immediately to the south is a multiple family condominium complex with which the shopping center shares access to Base Line Road. On the west side is Lions Park and the vacant library building. Presently, the center is about 80 percent occupied. D. Parkinq Calculations: The Development Code requires 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area for shopping centers larger than 25,000 square feet. The subject proposal lies within a shopping center with 28, 132 square feet of gross leasable area, (Exhibit "E"), Therefore, the total numberof parking spaces required forthe center is 127 spaces (4.5 x 28,132). The site currently has 152 parking spaces which is well in excess of the required spaces. ITEM G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-04 - FRANCIS BALCHAK April 10, 1996 Page 2 Because of the scope of activities in the proposed facility, it has been determined that the parking should be analyzed by individual uses as provided in the Ordinance 508 (Section 1 .B. 1). The parking demands for individual uses are satisfied presently by the site's parking accommodations, as evidenced below. With the addition of Bunky's at the requested size, individual use parking requirements exceed the number provided by six spaces. A significant amount is generated by the allocation for pool tables; therefore, the demand could be significantly lowered by reducing the number of tables.

TOTAL 158 152 ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting a combination of pool tables (as many as 10) and amusement devices totaling 45. In its review of the proposed facility, staff focused on the size of the facilities, its location relative to nearby schools, and site management, as discussed below: A. Facility Size: Staffs initial concern is that, with a total of 45 games (10 being pool tables), the facility is too large for a neighborhood commercial center. The Neighborhood Commercial District is defined as follows: "This district is intended to provide areas for immediate day-to-day convenience shopping and services for the residents of the immediate neighborhood. Site development regulations and performance standards are intended to make such uses compatible to and harmonious with character of surrounding residential or less intense land use area." j PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-04 - FRANCIS BALCHAK April 10, 1996 Page 3 The size (pool tables and amusement devices) would cause the business to draw customers from outside the neighborhood and possibly create a loitering problem greater than might be contemplated with a smaller facility. The gaming portion occupies over 60 percent of the business' area which makes the restaurant portion an ancillary use to the recreation activities. While the small restaurant is appropriate for the center, staff believes that the number of amusement devices and pool tables greatly exceeds the needs of the immediate neighborhood ~s well as exceeding the center's parking availability. Approval of the facility, as requested, would necessitate the filing and approval of a Vadance application to vary from the City'sparking regulations prior to action on the use permit. It should also be noted that the pool room/arcade is designed in a manner that could become a stand-alone business simply by closing the single door that connects to the restaurant. Therefore, the potential exists that this would not be in combination with the restaurant but could be operated or owned as a separate business. B. Comoatibilitv: Billlard halls and arcades located in neighborhood shopping centers require a Conditional Use Permit because of their unique operating characteristics; which differ from general retail establishments, and require special consideration in order to operate in a manner compatible with surrounding uses. These distinguishing charactedstics include noise and loitering. Proper management and supervision is critical to minimizing these problems. The business' location on a well traveled route for students from two nearby schools, Aita Loma High School and Cucamonga Jr. High School, further advances the concern over the size of the facility. A large arcade along the already convenient school route will make the facility an attractive gatherin9 point for students on the way home from school. Loitering by young people in the parking area and walkways next to other businesses will probably result based upon experiences at similar arcades in Rancho Cucamonga. This becomes even more likely because the site is located on the school routes. Staff believes the level of concern of these issues relates directly to the size of the facility and its high potential to attract significant numbers of young people. The Central School District has experienced an increase in truancy at schools that are close to video arcades. In this instance, the District recommends that the requested use not be approved. Chaffey Joint Union High School District also raised the truancy issues and requested that access to the game areas by minors be limited to after school hours only, and that the project provide a security service durin9 potential peak hours to prevent the center from becoming a "hangout" during evenings and weekends. The bordering of the shopping center by a condominium project also raises the question of appropriateness of the site for such a facility. The only access to the residential project is by a shared driveway with the shopping center. Loitering in the shopping center could negatively affect the use of the shared driveway and bring into question the area's security in the minds of the residents and business persons. C. Facility Manaaement: Mr2 Balchak has agreed to limit the hours of the arcade and pool room to the hours stipulated in the City's standard recommended conditions, 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursday and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. He also manages Mr. C's Pizza at Base Line Road and Victoria Loop that has only 5 pool tables (approved for 8) and 16 amusement devices. One important aspect of this request is that the applicant has no PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-04- FRANCIS BALCHAK April10,1996 Page 4 intention to serve alcoholic beverages. The Police Department has no serious concerns regarding the request if the operation remains alcohol free. The applicant has been informed of conditions required of similar facilities and has stated his willingness to accept them with this business. D. Environmental: The subject application is exempt from environmental review as a Class I Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Section 15301 (a). NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the site on the evening of March 26, 1996. The applicant mailed notices to property owners and residents of the condominium project. Seven adult residents of the neighboring condominium complex artended and the following comments were noted by staff: 1. Two of the residents spoke in favor of the facility stating that the arcade would provide a well managed outlet for teenagers and a convenient restaurant/amusement center for families from the condominium complex. In response to concerns mentioned below, one resident suggested that the residents organize to help monitor the problem activities in and around the shopping center. These residents stated that such a facility was needed to provide recreational activities for neighborhood teenagers. 2. One resident and the condominium manager spoke in opposition. They believe that regardless of how well supervised the business is, the drawing of teenagers to the facility will cause substantial loitering problems in and around the condos. A resident noted that he has already observed students stopping at the facility directly after school. The condo manager stated that activities at the park does, at times, cause overflow loitering onto the condo site, but that it is presently manageable. He is concerned that the business will significantly increase teenage gatherings in the area. One resident inferred that the facility may be too large, stating that one pool table should be sufficient for a neighborhood facility. 3. It was generally agreed that the shopping center has been in need of an active maintenance program for graffiti removal and lighting repairs. Mr. Balchak noted that the center ownership has recently changed and that with vacancy reduction, the new center owners should be able to improve maintenance. CONCLUSIONS: As previously stated, staffs concerns with this proposal centers on its size and its location along student routes to two schools. By providing so many games, the facility will draw customers from outside the neighborhood as well as creating a major "hangout" for young students after school, and possibly dudng school hours. Because of the school route location, staff feels this site will very likely experience the negative consequences, even with the implementation of standard arcade conditions; therefore, the use, as requested, is inappropriate for this center. Additional mitigation measures, that go further than the City's standard conditions, may be able to reduce the anticipated concerns. The development of a site management plan, in concert with the school districts, might provide a basis for adequate site supervision, which staff feels is presently in question. Additional conditions could include: 1) on-site supervision for the entire shopping center; 2) limiting the use of the recreation areas by minors to after school hours or admittance only with a parent, 3) opening of the arcade only in the late afternoon. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 96-04 - FRANCIS BALCHAK April 10, 1996 Page 5 FACTS FOR FINDING: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the application, the Commission must find facts to support all of the following findings: A. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. B. The proposed Use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety. or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. Staff does not believe evidence can be provided, for the requested use, to support these findings. CORRESPONDENCE: In.accordance with State and City requirements, the application request has been advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the site was posted, and notices -were mailed to all properties within 300 feet of the subject site. Staff has received letters for two school districts in response to the application (Exhibits "E" and "F"). In addition, we received a letter in opposition from a property owner in the neighborhood (Exhibit "1").

It includes pool tables, ~,ideo games, air hockey, foesball, pinball, and a jukebox. During the time that the addition has been open we have been fortunate not to have had any problems with the kids. We have a lot of families come in. There is an increase in team parties, birthday parties, anniversary parties and even a Leap Year party.'! Both parents and kids appreciate being able to have somewhere to play pool in the area because most ff not all the area pool rooms are restricted to adults. or age 18 and over. Since Bunk)"s is non-alcohol and non-smoking we believe that it will appeal to families, young adults and kids, and will likely stay that way.

This location is on a well-used travel route to Alta Loma High School Chaffey District and the administration of the Alta Loma High School have the following comments: 1. The hours of operation are inappropriate for games this close to a school. Students will be enticed to be truant. We would request that access for minors be limited to after-school hours only. 2. To prevent this from becoming a "hangout" for students during evenings and weekends, we would suggest that the city require the project to retain security sewice during peak hours. 3. If alcoholic beverages are available in the restaurant, we would recommend that direct access not be allowed from the game room. We appreciate the City's eftotis to provide a quality environment for young people in the community. We stand ready to assist in any way we can. Sincerely, Susan B. Sundell, Ed.D. Director, Business Se~ices CUP 96-04 Aprfi 01, 1996 RECEIVED Chairman Barker Planning Commission APR 0 3 1996 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91730 Dear Chairman Barker, City ot Rancino Cucamonga Planning Division I am writing to you in reference to the proposal of the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96-04 - FRANCIS BALCHAK. I would like to express my disapprova] of this proposaJ for the following reasons: I have lived in a house near Lions community park since 1989 when this park was not complete. Since that time, there have been numerous occasions when there have been teenagers and adults in the park making noise past the 10:00p.m. closing of the park. There has been fights in the park ,a drive - by shooting in my front yard, kids passing what appeared to be marijuana cigarettes to each other, two boys and male and female sex happening in the park in broad daylight and at night. These occurrences have slowed down considerably due to what I believe is because I have called the sheriffs department dozens of times to clear the park and the problems. I have had tires flattened, hood ornaments stolen, eggs thrown at our vehicles, trash thrown in our back yard. There was even a fire that miraculously started on the hill in our back yard shortly after kids were seen leaving the area running. Now there is this proposal to encourage loitering in the area after the 10:00p.m. closing week nights and midnight for the weekends. Where do you think these kids are going to go after closing time? I find it hard to believe that this clientele would immediately leave the area. I am quite certain that our problems would once again start and probably increase this time quite a bit. We did not buy this house to have these type of problems and have worked hard to eliminate them. Please help us by not allowing this activity to go on in our area. Please, at least check the sheriffs records during the past six years to see how many times they have had to come to take care of various problems.

CUP 96-04 - BALCHAK April 10, 1996 Page 2 e. An operational management plan to address the criteria listed in Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.10.030.F.3 -- such as the need for adult supervision, proximity to schools and other community uses, compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and businesses, noise attenuation, and bicycle facilities -- was not developed for this application. f. NOtwithstanding the provisions contained in Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Table 17.10.030. B, the application as proposed, would be materially detrimental to the persons and properlies in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site for the following reasons: (i~ Because of its large size, the proposed amusement facility is expected to attract significant numbers of customers from beyond the immediate neighborhood and is therefore inconsistent with the Neighborhood Commercial District goals and objectives; (ii) The proposed use will generate a significant truancy at the nearby junior high school and result in a frequent loitering problem within the center and around adjacent properties. As a result, the proposal will create a nuisance among adjacent land uses and other businesses in the shopping center. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed use is not in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code. and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. b. The proposed use will be detrimental to the public health, safety. or welfare or materially injurious to propedies or improvements in the vicinity. c. The proposed use does not comply with each of the applicable bro~ions of the Development Code. 4. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the project identified in this Resolution is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1.2, 3, and 4 above. this Commission hereby denies the application. 6.

In that conversation it was suggested that if I could not be present this evening, any comments that I would have made should be submitted in written form. Furthermore, the opinion was given that since this is not a hearing, but rather a request based on a Staff Report that a public hearing be scheduled to consider revocation of the conditional use p~rmit previously granted, a postponement would not be necessary or appropriate. By way of this letter I again urge that the Commission postpone this matter only until the next meeting of the Commission on April 24th. My clie..nt would like to address the Commission and object to the scheduling of a public hearing. Unfortunately, and as explained in our previous letter, I have been ill and am not prepared to present any argument or to explain the basis for our objection to a public hearing at this time. If the Commission denies this request to postpone this evening's discussion and proceeds with setting this matter for public hearing, we reserve our right to make our objections to that hearing at the time of the hearing.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deem that there is sufficient evidence to warrant a full examination and set a public hearing to consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. BACKGROUND: On May 5, 1994, various City staff and the Police Department conducted an inspection of the business premises. It was determined that the pdmary business being conducted on the premises was massage contrary to their approved business license for a nail salon. The applicant subsequently filed a Conditional Use Permit request for a massage establishment. On July 13. 1994, the Planning Commission approved this Conditional Use Permit to operate a massage establishment within the Deer Creek Village shopping center. The business had been in operation for one year prior to the Conditional Use Permit request. The approved business includes acupressure, sun tanning, skin care, facials, and nail care. The Development Code defines acupressure as massage and restricts massage establishments to the General _Commercial ZOneS. ANALYSIS: The Rancho Cucamonga Police Department has conducted an investigation into alleged prostitution at this business. On March 19. 1996, a police officer made an arrest for prostitution at this business. Prostitution is contrary to the conditions of approval and the requisite finding that the business "will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare." Therefore, staff believes there is evidence to warrant a full examination to consider revocation of this Conditional Use Permit.

BACKGROUND: This project was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on February 8, 1995, Screening of the drive-thru lane was a major consideration during the design review process. The project as constructed did not provide adequate screening and fails to satisfy Condition No, 7 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 96-09 (see Exhibit "E"). In addition, there are several other outstanding corrections regarding signs. A written agreement was reached between the City and McDonalds to allow occupancy of the restaurant on December 19, 1995 (see Exhibit "A"). This agreement set forth necessary corrections to screen the drive-thru and modify the location and design of the monument sign. The deadline for completing the corrections was January 12, 1996; however, the work has not been completed satisfactorily. Subsequently the applicant was also notified of additional corrections regarding other signs on-site (see Exhibit "C"). The Planning Commission has expressed concern on several occasions about the lack of progress on completing these corrections. Based upon the significance of the Commission's concerns, and at the Commission's direction, staff scheduled this item for consideration for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant was notified and advised to complete the corrections before tonight's meeting (see Exhibit "D") RECOMMENDATION: If the corrective work has not been completed, staff recommends discussion of this matter and a determination on whether to set this item for public hearing to consider revocation. ~?y~Pl~nner BB:SH:mlg Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Agreement dated December 19, 1995 Exhibit "B" - Memorandum to Planning Commission dated January 24, 1996 Exhibit "C" Letter to McDonalds dated February 1, 1996 Exhibit "D" Letter to McDonalds dated March 27, 1996 Exhibit "E" Resolution No. 95-09 / ITEM I DATE: December 19, 1995 TO: St~ Hayes, Associate Planncr The City of R~mcho FRO,~I: Rodn~y P.

It was agreed that the project frontage along Carnelian Street would be treated with an undulating, 3-foot high berm in the tuff area between the sidewalk and parking and circulation area. In addition, the existing planters adjacent to the parking stalls and drive-thru lane will have an upgraded shrub hedge of 15-gallon size Ligustrum planted at 3 feet on center. After the berming is completed, the entire site will be hydroseeded again. As for the Baseline Road frontage, it was determined that new randomly placed planter areas will be introduced in the existing lawn area. These planters will be separated from the tuff areas by concrete mow strips and include dense planrings of 15-gallon evergreen shrubs and seasonal interest planrings such as Agapanthus and annual color. The placement and number will be determined so as to have the most impact on screening the drive-thru lane to a greater extent. Although the project monument sign has yet to be moved, the new footings have been dug. The new location for the sign will be approximately 18 feet back from the sign's current location. In addition, the sign will be lowered in height and a shrub hedge will be planted around the base of the sign.

The project monument sign near the intersection of Base Line Street and Carnelian Street shall be relocated out of the public right-of-way, lowered in height, filled in at its base with a compatible exterior material and a landscape shrub hedge planter around the base of the sign. In addition, there are several corporate identification signs on the property that have been installed after the initial inspection that should be removed prior to the Planning Division approving final occupancy of the facility. These are all illegal signs under the City's Sign Ordinance: 1. The "Golden Arches" logos on the directional signs at the vehicular entrance/exit locations. 2. The corporate flag on the flagpole. 3. The plexiglass McDonalds logo faces on the public telephones. 4. Any trash receptacles or other outdoor furniture that displays the McDonalds logo or name. Mc'I'or William J.

To provide that opportunity, this item has been placed on your agenda. If requested by the Commission, staff will give an oral report at the meeting. Mr. Desforges understands that this item is for discussion purposes only. The Commission's recommendation for denial of the subject applications made on March 27, 1996, has been forwarded to the City Council and is scheduled for hearing on April 17, 1996. Mr. Desforges was also given the opportunity to request reconsideration of his applications by the Commission before going to the City Council but declined to do so because of the time element. Because of the public notice requirement it could not have been heard sooner than the April 24, 1996, meeting of the Commission.

WOHL INVESTMENT COMPANY 2402 Michelson, Suite 170, Irvine, Califomia 92715 · (714) 955-0115 · FAX: (714) 755-3971 Page 2 April 2, 1996 The most successful and popular configuration for shopping centers today is one in which all businesses face the boulevard for visibility and ease of automobile and pedestrial traffic. Developers who have tried the "village theme" concept which was briefly popular in the late seventies and featured interior courtyards have been unsuccessful in almost every ease. Retailers and consumers alike demand convenience and are unwilling to locate/shop in space that is not readily visible or accessible. Of course, it is necessary to balance this convenience with careful site planning and architecture to insure an aesthetically pleasing center from a visual design standpoint. We have demonstrated that this can be accomplished as shown in the proposed site plans that were submitted with our application. Commissioner Melther also stated that "What we're really being asked to do here is to solve a problem for a landowner who has a small piece of property... We are being asked to do our zoning in an opportunistie way..." I would suggest that each and every zone change that has been applied for by landowners in this city h~s "solved a problem" for that landowner by allowing a use that there is demand for but that is not permitted. Referring to the Agajanian study, it correctly states that the city should "Promote Aggressive Commercial Development" which may include the rezoning of land as they have recommended on z~th Steer. This suggests that the city should be opportunisfic in order to attract as much of the sub-regional retail sales as is possible. Commissioner Tolstoy had concerns based on another section of the Agajanian study which "states that the City probably has too much commercial land available to support the needs of the city" and. furthermore that "...the Study was supported by other professional opinions". He also expressed a concern with our site configuration reiterating comments made by Commissioner Melther. Although the study does cite a surplus of commercial land, it does not state how much of this land permits the type of sub-regional retail development that we are proposing or whether or not it is located in areas in which there is or will be any demand from retail users. The study emphasizes that Foothill Boulevard is the city's primary retail corridor and, by recommending the z~th Street zone change. it suggests that rezoning additional land for retail development should not be prohibited if it can be adequately justified. Concerning the narrower depth of our site compared with the north side of the street, as described by Tom Bond of Architects Pacific, our proposed project fills a niche in the current market by providing an alternative to small and mid-size tenants wishing to locate on Foothill Boulevard who do not want to get lost in a huge "power center". Commissioner Tolstoy also mentioned that he was surprised to see a fast-food restaurant in our plan and that he "...could not even imagine anyone even entertaining a drive-thrn facility..." on our site. Although I understand that we need to address design issues and traffic issues, I am hopeful that the Planning Commission will approach our proposed site plan with an open mind towards meeting the consumers demand for fast food in this community. We all eat fast food and it should not be treated as a nuisance but rather as a complementary element in any successful retail corridor. Page 3 April 2, 1996 Commissioner McNiel voiced the following concerns: "...The Original (General Plan) design treated Haven and Foothill as the heart of the city. As you went east on Foothill you transitioned from office to commercial with ancillary uses and functions down to regionally related Victoria Gardens... As you got nearer to the freeway, regionally related uses came to play, not nearly this far west in the original plan... I keep having a Palmdale flashback. It keeps me awake at night..." "...Mr. Desforges has a property that is driven by one user and I don't know that that user will be a significant contributor to the community and that we should make a change for one user..." Addressing his tirst concern, I think it is clear that the original General Plan did not anticipate anything like what has happened along Foothill in the past five years. Regionally related retailers such as Best Buy, Service Merchandise, Montgomery Wards and others have located near Haven and have done so through amendments to the General Plan. Done correctly (unlike Palmdale) a primary retail corridor with two sides can be a tremendous asset for a city, attracting regional retailers with critical mass, high traffic counts and nearby residential and commercial customers. Although we have had difficulty overcoming our neighbor's claims to potential tenants that we will not be building our center and it is therefore a waste of time to consider our site, we do have several tenants other than "the good guys!" interested in our site contingent upon the zone change. It is important to note that Target was the only tenant originaily anchoring the Tetra Vista Towne Center, Best Buy was the single driving force behind Towne Square and Home Depot is the lone tenant currently committed to the Promenade project. Chairman Barker and Commissioner Lumpp voted in favor of our proposed project; however, they qualified their votes by saying that it should be looked at in the context of the entire south side of Foothill Boulevard. I agree that it would be ideal to look at the city as a "clean slate" and consider the big picture rather than address our particular request. However, until the property owners east of us come to the city with a viable plan for the development of their sites in conjunction with a request for a zone change, it is not practical for the city to consider those properties for rezoning. It would be mere prudent to proceed as was done on the north side of the street by starting at the existing critical mass at Tetra Vista and proceeding east as demand dictates. At the Planning Commission meeting last Wednesday, a representative of Lewis Homes stated that there is a demand from tenants to locate closer to Haven and they would therefore be rezoning their land between Elm and Milliken to aceommedate that demand. As Commissioner Lumpp said,"...if there is a reason to change the zone on this property, the swing decision is the fact that Lewis Homes wants to change their zoning on their property between Elm and Milliken. If any builder in this city knows what is going on in the retail and commercial market it is Lewis Homes. If they feel the need to change then why isn't this property as valuable in terms of the change creating a commercial need, as those on the north side of the street?" Page 4 April 2, 1996 The purpose of this letter is to attempt to address some of the concerns raised by the PIning Commission in recommending denial of our requested zone change. In an effort to keep this leUer down to a tolerable length I have not addressed every detail but attempted to hit on what I saw as the major issues. I would like to request that this item be included in the April 10 PlannIng Commission agenda as a discussion item so that I can answer any questions which Staff or the Planning Commission may have regarding the responses given above. I understand that the Commission cannot act on this item further but thought it would be appropriate to present these ideas to the Commission prior to the April 17 City Council meeting where I will be presenting these ideas formally. Whether or not we are ultimately successful in obtaining our requested zone change, I want to stress that it has been and continues to be my priority to communicate with Staff and the Planning Commission in a constructive manner and to address questions and concerns in the most productive way possible.
