The existing 14 parking spaces are being maintained and were not counted to satisfy parking for the proposed project. ANALYSIS: A. General: The three buildings are located along Haven Avenue and screen the parking spaces from public view. The automotive fueling service is odented with the pump island behind the building to maximize screening from Haven Avenue consistent with Planning Commission policy. The restaurant building is directly north of the automotive fueling service convenience center. The three-story professional office building is north of a 36 foot-wide dght-in and right-out textured access entryway off of Haven Avenue, that is also just north of the restaurant building. The buildings are very well articulated with strong vertical and horizontal changes and recess to the building plane. These elements are consistent throughout the design. A green metal coping is used to create contrast and add a professional urban look to the building. Perforated metal fins, accent lighting, and spandrels glazing is all used to create a unique, quality look to the building. The three buildings incorporate three pdmary building materials, which are as follows: 1 ) Polished granite veneer, 2) Light colored bdck which is used along the majority of the building fac..ade, and 3) Sand blasted concrete, which is used at entry-ways and used as an accent. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-53 CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES July 12, 2000 Page 3 B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the proposed project on June 6, 2000, and recommended approval with conditions, which have been incorporated into the attached Resolution of Approval. C. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant and staff completed Part II. Staff identified potential short-term impacts related to air quality due to construction activity, and hazardous materials due to automotive fueling services. Mitigation measures have been identified that would make the impacts less than significant. If the Planning commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. Staff received a letter from the property owner to the north who objects to keeping the driveway access between the two projects (Exhibit "D"). Both projects are part of Parcel Map 7731, which granted the right of ingress and egress across all four parcels along Haven Avenue. The project applicant has access rights across both parcels to the north (the existing office complex). Further, reciprocal access is consistent with the General Plan goal to reduce vehicle trips along Haven Avenue. Staff also received letters from Rosalie and Nina Mandala and two letters from Athalon Properties objecting to the automotive fueling service use (Exhibits E and F). Staff received a letter from A. H. Reiter Development objecting to the service station and fast food use within the convenience store (Exhibit K). Additionally, staff has received a letter in support of the project from Rufus C. Barkley Ill of Cabot Industrial Trust (Exhibit G). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 99-53 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Sincerely. RECL~LVED EEG 1 ,'3 1~3 Nina Mandala 73-075 Amber Street Ci~ o! r~ncho Cucamong Palm Desert, CA 92260 - '}ivision December 10, 1999 Mr. Brad Buller City Planner The City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Dear Mr. Buller: I recently learned of some disturbing information regarding the property located on the Northwest comer of Haven Avenue and Sixth Street. The subject property is across Haven Avenue from my twenty acre parcel, and I am therefore, highly concerned as to the type of project proposed. It is my understanding that Rancho Pacific Development has proposed a gasoline station to be built on a portion of land that is known as the Haven Avenue Overlay District. As an owner of Haven Avenue property for fifty-five years, I feel this is a great injustice for what I have strived to achieve with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. I can recall attending several city planning meetings in 1981 with my daughter, Rosalie Mandala, in which we supported the City in its endeavor to attain the highest level of zoning for Haven Avenue. During those meetings, a certain developer solicited us to speak out against the Haven Avenue Overlay District, but instead, we envisioned a higher standard and expressed our finn commitment to the City and the Overlay District. The comer of Sixth and Haven was always considered by the City as one of the most important comers along the Haven Corridor. It is pivotal in the development of the Haven Avenue Overlay District to its highest potential. To consider anything less, especially a gasoline station, would severely compromise the integrity of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. The City of Rancho Cucamonga must consider the fact it is fortunate to have two of the most important highways east of Orange and San Diego Counties. Those two streets are Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The prestige of Haven Avenue would certainly be diminished by the traffic congestion, noise and pollution of a gasoline station at such a premier comer. As a Haven Avenue property owner that has weathered a severe recession, and also held to a higher standard of zoning, I feel it is unfair for the City to allow a change in zoning for one individual or company. A change in zoning by the City for one individual would certainly open the door for proposed changes by future developers. Mr. Brad Bullet Page 2 I hereby request a copy of the plans submitted by Rancho Pacific Development for Application Numbers CUP 99-53 and BPA 99-05. Please place my name on the Special Notice List of any Staff or Hearing Application. I also authorize my daughter, Rosalie Mandala C/O American Sterling Bank, 1 Sterling, Irvine, CA 92618, to be placed on the Notice List of any Staff or Hearing Application. In conclusion, I sincerely hope the City of Rancho Cucamonga realizes the wdue of Sixth and Haven to its highest potential with the focus of an impending economic boom along the Haven Avenue Corridor. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Nina Mandala NM:rmm Athalon Properties, Inc. 9227 Haven Avenue- Suite 225 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91730 Phone 909 944 0600 Fax 909 945 5919 EMAIL CMClaug431 @aol.com October 25, 1999 Mr. Brad Butler City Planner City of Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91730 R E Cle I V E I~ Via Fax 909 477 2847 OCT II 5 19cj9 Re ISPA 99-05 City ol Rancho Cucamon£ ~sing Division Dear Mr. Buller, Athalon Properties, Inc. (API) is the owner of the Athalon Centre located at the northeast comer of 6th Street and Haven AVenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. It has been brought to our attention that ISPA 994)5 is being processed for a modification to the Haven Overlay District, as it affects the vacant land at the northwest comer of 6th and Haven. Said modification would allow, if approved, a service station and possibly a fast food restaurant, either free standing or within the service station as is common in most new service stations today. I trove attempted to contact the property owner to obtain information concerning the proposed progject. None of my 5 phone calls nor my one letter over the past 1.5 months have been returned. As a consequence, I am limited in my lmowledge about the project to mfom~ation provided by your plam~ing department. We object to the change in approved uses under the Haven Overlay District because of the negative impact on traffic and property values within the region. Because of the Haven Overlay District zoning, the City has attempted to upgrade the area. Those of us who have invested here over the last 10 years relied on this zoning designation to make our investment. There is already substantial traffic congestion along Haven, and especially at 6h Street. The addition of these high traffic uses will not only depreciate the RECE.~VED Athalon Properties, h~c. city ol Rancho CucamonC.

Dear Mr. Buller, Athalon lh-operties, lnc (Athalon). is the ox~er of the prqiect at the North East Ccrmcr of 6th and Havc~ in Rancho Cucamonga. x3,~c arc lex:areal directly across the street from the proposed prqiect, and are therefore the most hnpacted by what is built at thc Rancho Pacific project. Wc have rcqucslcd complete plans from the developer, but he has refixqed to provide any intbnnafion on the proposed project, lvly last 4 phone calls have gone unreturned. However, from ~mother source, I have heen able m obtain the attached partial plan, and must assume that it is lhe most current set of plans available. It is our understanding that a General Plan amendment, and/or a zone change are being requested Ibr this project to allow the inclusion of a service station. Athalon objects to any change in use regulations wlfich would allow the . inclusi{m ol' a sen,ice staff{m, us outlined in {>ur previous letter to you and the Ci~'. We have invested almost $10 million in our project based on the current zoning of all of the property stwrotmd~ng us~ including the Rancho Pacific hind. In addition, we have invested more than $1 million to protect our interests during the prolonged recession of thc 1990's. II order lo get our project approved, wc had to toe the line with the current zoning and special restrictions imposed by the Haven Overlay District requirements. It ix incomprehensible that the City would now allow a change in use tbr a single parcel which would substantially degrade the balance of the properties in the Haw'n Overlay District. If the City does decide to abuse the rest of the I~v~n Avenue property o~a~ers by approving the Rancho Pacffic project, we would expect the CiB' to impose ccnain restrictkms as conditions or approval on thc project, similar m couditions imposed on other projecls, including ours, as follows: 1 ) Signage All other buildings on llaven haw strict sign reslriclions. Those issues are not normally addressed in land use approvals. These restrictions should be imlx, sed at fl~e time of land use consideration so that they do not automatically follow a land use appro¥-al: Signage on the gem,'ice statim~ lmilding should be limited in size, color, and placement along Haven. We do not want bright, multiple use, lighted si~_s facing llaven. You should also expect that there will be multiple users ~n the serhce station building, such as fast/hod restaurants. Each of those users will want their owaa sign kk'ntification. Limiuttions similar to existing s~ructures would be appropriate. For example, on my building at 9267 Haven, we have been limited to two lig. h~d sign.s, top of build/ng. 'lh~,e should be no pole signs typical of ser~4ce stations, it is now accepted that grotmd level monument signs are acceptable l'or this b,pc of business, located at the ch-/veway cmtry to the project, along 6th street. 2) Access Rancho Pacific should be required to install a median along 6th street, similar to fl)e one east ofllax:~ along 6th street. There should not he a median cut to allow traffic at tltis mid block location. We were denied a request for a median cut tbr the reason that traffic coming offofllaven was too intense, making it unsafe. 'lhat was in 1995. With traffic counts much higher today, that reasoning is eyre more applicable. 3) Architectural 3 'lhe proposed heaw use of stucco on the cast and south thee of rite sen:ice station building is in direct c~mtmst to the requirements imIx~sed on other buildings in the Haven Overlay District. Once you allow such a degraded stan&~rd, M1 fuhlre buildings will be using this btdlding as justification for a relaxation of the Ha;~en Overlay District standards, and the entire street: will suffer. It is a very small uddilional construction cost lo upgrade the fi~ce of iht: building directly abutting Haven and 6th street. 4) Operational One of the main conccmas with a sc~vicc station is thc type of user attracted. lhlless tile CiW is going to provide 24 hour l~,lice protecfi6n, it woulcl be appropriate to limit thc ho',=s e.f ePmfion to 6A2vf until 10 p.,x~, I.l~3ess this is done, I predict we will see a substantial increase ill the c~Sme rate in the imnlediate area within 1 year of opening. 5) Construction ,qince tim service station element has the most negative aspects to it, the other two buildings should be built first. It is being presented that these two buildings will provide shelter Ii-om the view of the service stat/tm. IF this c<mditi{m is not imposed, then it will be possible for Rancho Pacific to build the service station, then not build the two office buildings. Subsequently, the), or another user xx6_ll be in requesting more retail uses, clahning they should be allowed such uses because the service stalion is already on thc property as an accc'ptablc use. 6) Landscaping is being presented as an effective shield against some of the negative impacts of this usc. Please insta-c that the initial installation provides fids protection. A) Minimlmas 6 foot high landscape material (at initial installation) should he required between building A 0~tail) and building B. B) Landscaping along 6th street and at. tile corner should be a mini~num of 6 feet h* shield the direct view of the sm'ice station area. Charles J. Mol ~dugh]in l'resident ceBruce A~m Hahr~.

The proposed project is for a professional canter consisting of a 4,450 square foot automotive fueling servica and convenienca canter (the reason for the Conditional Use Permit), a 3,500 square foot restaurant and a three-story, 32,000 square foot office building (the restaurant and proposed offica building are permitted uses). The three buildings are designed to be odented and front along Haven Avenue (approximately 654 feet) and the automotive fueling servica and convenienca center is the only building that will front 6th Street (239 feet). The automotive fueling servica and convenience canter is located at the southeast comer of 6th Street and Haven Avenue with the gasoline canopy area being screened by the convenienca canter building as seen from Haven Avenue. The restaurant building is directly noah of the automotive fueling servica convenienca canter. The three-story professional offica building is noah of a 36 foot-wide dght-in and right-out textured access entryway off of Haven Avenue, that is also just north of the restaurant building. The buildings are located along Haven Avenue which screens the majority of the parking spacas from public view. The three buildings incorporate three pdmary building materials, which are as follows: 1. Granite, which is used to create a base, look to the buildings and used as an accent. 2. Light bdck which, is used along the majodty of the building fac,,ade. 3. Sand blasted concrete which, is used at entryways, and used as an accent. The three-story offica building is very well articulated with strong vertical and horizontal changes and recess to the building plane, that are carded throughout and along the fac,,ade of the building. A green metal coping is used to create contrast and add a professional urban look to the building, perforated metal fins, accent lighting and spandrels glazing is all used to create a unique and quality look to the building. However, this creative urban look is somewhat lost on the restaurant building and automotive fueling service and convenience center. These two buildings do have the same quality materials but the over design and breakup of the buildings is much simpler than the three-story office building. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-53 - RANCHO PACIFIC PROFESSIONAL CENTER June 6, 2000 Page 2 Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Maior Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Provide taller element to strengthen Building "B" that is overpowered by Building "A," which is 8 feet taller and neady 1000 square feet larger floor area. This may also assist in providing screening of roof equipment. 2. Provide plaza areas in front of main (west) entries of Building "B" and "C" with decorative paving and seating. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Provide additional berming along Haven Avenue and 6th Street. 2. Reduce width of loading zone between Buildings "A" and "B" from 22 feet to 14 feet, which is City standard for trucks. 3. Provide decorative retum wall between Buildings A and B to screen loading zone. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roof-mounted equipment must be screened from view using an architecturally integrated screen element, such as raised parapet. Staff is particularly concemed about the Iow profile of the restaurant Building "B." Restaurants typically have roof equipment that is larger and taller than normal for office buildings. 2. Provide an accessible trash enclosure for the restaurant. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return as a consent calendar item. Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Para Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Doug Fenn The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to staff comments. In addition, the Committee directed the applicant to provide plaza areas at the west entrance of professional office building with decorative paving and outdoor seating. Additionally, the Committee directed that a double trash enclosure with trellis be provided between the restaurant and service station. The applicant agreed to revise the project per the Committee's comments.

( ) (,/) ( ) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) (v') policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the ( ) ( ) (,") vicinity? d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ( ) ( ) (,") established community? Comments: a-d) The Rancho Pacific Professional Center project site is located within the Industrial Area Specific Plan Sub-area 6, Haven Avenue Overlay District. The Haven Avenue Overlay District extends approximately 400 feet east and west of Haven Avenue from the southern city limit on 4th Street to Foothill Boulevard in the north. It is intended to provide a visual barrier between Haven Avenue and the industrial zones to the east and west and to ensure Haven Avenue, as a gateway to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, will have an attractive appearance. Landscaping and architectural standards set by the City of Rancho Cucamonga for the gateway avenues are stringent and are strictly applied. Components of the proposed professional center development at the corner of Sixth and Haven (office building, restaurant and convenience center) are consistent with the City's general plan and the Haven Avenue Overlay District. However, the proposed automotive fueling station is not a permitted use in the District. The applicant is requesting consideration of an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan to allow automotive service stations as conditionally permitted uses in the Haven Avenue Overlay District, and a CUP to allow an automotive fueling station at the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and Sixth Street. The applicant has prepared a demand study, as required by the Planning Commission in 1997, which identifies a need for an automotive fuelling station on the southbound side of Haven Avenue. Haven Avenue is a major corridor through the City to the freeway and airport. Office workers, workers in support services and visitors to the City needing to refuel must be diverted from Haven Avenue to find a station. The demand study showed that as the area is developed with commercial Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 4 office and suppod services, the need for convenience services and automotive fueling exists. The demand study points out that changes in the automotive services industry have resulted in a new focus on convenience sales and fueling services rather than auto repair and related activities considered more industrial in nature. Eliminating the more industrial component of a "gas station" allows the development of a fueling/convenience center to be designed as a integral part of a mixed use development such as the Rancho Pacific Professional Center. The design of the project places the buildings (convenience store, restaurant and office building) along Haven Avenue with the fuel islands and parking lot to the rear of the property. Access to the fuel islands will be from Sixth Street, thus minimizing views of the fueling station from Haven Avenue. The decision to consider an automotive fueling station in the Haven Avenue Overlay District was based on, and is conditional to, assurances that the developer would avoid the traditional "gas station" appearance in favor of a design compatible with the stringent landscaping and architectural standards of the District. This was conditional on the developer's assurance that the fuelling station would be designed to accommodate the City's standards. As such, the proposed ISPA and CUP would have no impact on the zoning. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Polenl~llyUnless Than 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ( ) ('/) population projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ( ) (¢') directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ( ) (,") housing? Comments: a) The proposed mixed use project will generate employment for up to 170 people: 130 office/professional, 10 employees of the fueling station and 30 restaurant employees. The project is being constructed as a response to projected growth in the region, and generally conforms with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan to accommodate regional growth. b) The project will induce growth to the extent that it provides jobs, which could cause some movement of people into the area. This growth will be minor, and is accommodated in both the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the Haven Avenue Overlay District, and therefore has a less than significant impact. The City is housing rich according to the Southern California Associated Governments (SCAG). Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 5 Development of office buildings and related uses would help the City balance its jobs/housing ratio. c) The site is currently vacant.

( ) (,/) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) (,/) .Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes 3 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 5 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to Mw7.5 earthquakes is 13 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 16 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga loamy sand. These soils are relatively stable but subject to liquefaction when the water table · is relatively shallow. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The site is not located near a body of water. e) The site is relatively flat, and it is not near any slopes vulnerable to mass-wasting events. f-h) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal. Grading will even out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage and avoid Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 6 erosion. Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga loamy sand. This soil is somewhat excessively drained, level to moderately sloping soil formed on alluvial fans. It is relatively stable but subject to liquefaction when the water table is shallow. New structures are required to meet current eadhquake standards as required by the Uniform Building Code. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features. Issues and Suppoding Information Sources: PotentiallyUnless Than 4. WATER. Will the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) (,/) ( ) or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( (¢') hazards such as flooding? c) Discharge into sudace water or other alteration ( ) ( (¢') of surface water quality (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)? d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( (,/) water body? e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( (¢') of water movements? f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( (¢') through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations, or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( (¢') h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( (¢') i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) (,/) ( ) groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Comments: a) Development of the project site is expected to result in decreased absorption rates, increased runoff, and drainage pattern changes. As a condition of project approval, a drainage study/plan showing how stormwater runoff will be handled, both during construction and operation, must be provided to the City Engineer prior to issuance of a grading permit. Proper grading and drainage control will ensure this potential impact is less than significant. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 7 b) The site is not located within a currently mapped flood zone. However, the City has adopted standards for flood protection related to minimum building elevations and flood proofing. As a condition of project approval, drainage and flood protection facilities will be provided for the project to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. Storm-water runoff will be by surface flow into the existing public storm drain system. h) The automotive fueling station will include underground gasoline storage tanks. Underground storage tanks require permits from and annual monitoring and reporting to the Regional Water Quality Control Board - Santa Aha Region. The RWQCB is responsible for permitting and monitoring underground storage tanks in the region and will require state-of-the-art, lined tanks with build in leak detection systems among other requirements. Therefore, there foi) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area because the site is not used for groundwater recharging. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PolentiallyUrdes~, Than 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) ( ) (v') ( ) an existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (,/) ( ) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) (v') cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (v') Comments: a) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super- Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During grading, fugitive dust (PM~0) will be generated. However, the project, at four developed acres, is below the AQMD Threshold of Potential Significance for Air Quality Impacts. Any impact to air quality from generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following measures: '1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil st:~bilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce P~VI~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQ~VID Rule 403. 2. Haven Avenue and Sixth Street shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce P]VI~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 8 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~0 emissions. b) There are no sensitive receptors within 'A mile of the project site. During construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed sur[aces may cause NOx and PM~0 levels to exceed daily significant thresholds. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at less than significant levels. 5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 7. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use, c-d) The proposed project is to construct an automobile fueling station, a convenience store, a restaurant, and an office building. This will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes. Control of objectionable odors associated with fueling stations is accomplished by state of the art pumps and nozzles. The station operator will be responsible for compliance with SCAQMD rules and regulations for operation of an automotive fueling station. Adherence to SCAQMD requirements will ensure that the impact is less than significant. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PolentiallyUnlSss Than 6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION.

The inclusion of an automotive fueling station at the corner of Haven Avenue and :.Sixth Street will not cause a significant increase in traffic since the station will not be a destination per se, but rather, an incidental stop on the way to or from work. The impact will be less than significant because the project will locate a fueling station on a heavily traveled route that presently has no comparable services in the vicinity. The station will primarily serve people who already use the Haven Avenue corridor. There is therefore a probability the project will decrease overall vehicle miles driven within the area by decreasing the distance users of the Haven Avenue corridor must travel to get fuel. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has specified plan modifications for the site's intersections and driveways in order to minimize congestion on 6th Street and Haven Avenue. These conditions of project approval will prevent potential significant impacts to traffic circulation. Other uses of the site, office and restaurant are included in growth projections for the area. b-c) The access ways to 6th Street and Haven Avenue have been designed to the City of Rancho Cucamonga standard for lines of sight at the intersections, and provide ample access for both routine and emergency purposes. There are no incompatible uses anticipated. d) The project design meets the parking standards of the Haven Avenue Overlay District and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. e-f) According to the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, 6~h Street is potentially part of the community trail system. The applicant must ensure the project does not encroach on pedestrian right of ways or potential bicycle lanes in this alternative transportation corridor to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This can be accomplished through site plan review. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 10 g) The site is approximately 2 miles north of Ontario Airport.

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) (¢') habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (,,') eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) (,/) eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) (,,') vernal pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) (,,') Comments: a-e) The project site is former vineyards. The vines have been removed and the site has been disced for weed abatement and graded for the placement of a disused driveway. There is no habitat suitable .for rare or endangered species and there are no locally protected species on site. The site has no wetland and is cut off by development to the north, east, and west, so it cannot serve as a wildlife corridor.

Comments: a-b) The project will be required to conform to applicable City standards for energy conservation. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 11 c) The project site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an are~ classified as a Mineral Resource Zone (MRZo2).

Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of (,/) ( ) ( ) hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) (v') response plan or emergency evacuation plan? c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) (v') ( ) health hazard? d) Exposure of people to existing sources of. ( ) ( ) (v') potential health hazards? e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) (,/) brush, grass, or trees? Comments: a) The proposed office building and restaurant would not contain hazardous materials or substances that could expose people to potential health hazards. The proposed Automotive Fueling Station will involve the storage and disponsing of large quantities of highly flammable gasoline. The following measure shall provide assurance that the 8. The project must meet all applicable federal and state safety requirements for automotive fueling stations. This must be documented in a Hazardous Materials Business Plan that must be approved by the City Emergency Services Office. b) The project will not interfere with the flow of traffic on 6th Street or Haven Avenue. It will not interfere with evacuations or other emergency responses. c) · The projected sale of gasoline at the fueling station will expose people to vapors containing benzene, a known carcinogen. However, due to state-of-the-art equipment installed in fueling stations now, these exposures fall below significant thresholds set by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), therefore this is a less than significant impact. d) There are no known existing sources of health hazards in the site area. e) The project is not within a fire hazard zone.

Will the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) ("') ( ) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) (,/') ( ) Comments: a) The project will increase noise in the general sense of replacing a vacant lot with a businesses and offices. However, there are no sensitive receptors (schools, hospitals, residences) nearby, and the relatively small size of the development ensures the increase will be to less than significant levels. b) The project will cause exposure of people to routine traffic noise. Though peak levels, sirens, truck horns etc. of traffic noise may reach severe levels, the short duration these noise events and shod exposures at a gas station make this a less than significant impact. Exposure to noise by workers in the proposed office building will be mitigated by building construction that meets requirements for indoor noise attenuation. Therefore this impact is less than significant. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than 11. PUBLIC SERVICES.

( ( ) (¢') ( ) Comments: a-e) The project is in an area originally zoned Industrial, since modified by the Haven Avenue Overlay District. The City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan for services is based on the assumption this parcel would be commercially developed. There will not be any need for new or altered government services. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project. Fire and Police protection - Additional protection will be required for the people who will work at the site or patronize the businesses located there. However, as the Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-53, ISPA 99-05 Page 13 project falls within the commercial uses accommodated within the Oeneral Plan, the impact is less than significant. Schools - As discussed in Section 2 above, the project will generate approximately 170 full and part time workers. This does not generate significant population growth and will not affect the school system since most employees are projected to come from the local labor pool. Public facilities -The project will increase traffic on adjacent streets and increase usage of other public facilities. However this growth is consislent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, and the Haven Avenue Overlay District, therefore the impact will be less than significant.

As a condition of approval the project will be landscaped to the standards set forth in the Haven Avenue Overlay District to ensure the proposed development will blend with existing surroundings. In addition, the decision to consider an automotive fueling station in the Haven Avenue Overlay District was based on, and is conditional to, assurances that the developer would avoid the traditional "gas station" appearance in favor of a design compatible with the stringent landscaping and architectural standards of the District. This was conditional on the developer's assurance that the fuelling station would be designed to accommodate the City's standards. As such, the proposed ISPA and CUP would have no impact on aesthetics. c) The project will create new light and glare as the site is currently vacant. Low pressure sodium vapor lights should be used to minimize excess glare while creating safe lighting conditions. Landscaping will be in accordance with City landscaping requirements for the Haven Avenue Overlay District and will buffer the site. The impact is not considered significant.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) (-/) potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) (v') to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) (,/) ( ) are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.)

Comments: a) The project site is former vineyard. The vines have been removed and the site has been disced for weed abatement and graded for the placement of a disused driveway. There is no habitat suitable for rare or endangered species and there are no locally protected species on site. The site has no wetland and is cut off by development to the north, east, and west, so it cannot serve as a wildlife corridor. b) The project does not sacrifice long term environmental goals to achieve short term environmental objectives. Short term impacts identified in the Initial Study are related to grading and construction which can be mitigated to less than significant levels. c) The project is part of the inevitable cumulative effect on the environment caused by regional growth in general, and the Haven Avenue Overlay District in particular. The site has already been included in the City's General Plan as a commercial site. Therefore approval of the project does not cause a cumulative impact not already considered. d) No substantial adverse impacts were identified in the Initial Study.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Ref: Conditional Use Permit 99-53 and Environmental Assessment Rancho Pacific Professional Center Gentlemen: In 19841 made a proposal to the Planning Commission for two single story buildings on Haven Avenue with two 2-story buildings behind them. Prior to my agenda item, was the Haven Avenue Overlay District (HAOD). It was passed, but my project failed, even after repeated prior statements by the then Commissioner, Dennis Stout, that the project was fine and would pass. It took 6 months of additional design and Planning Commission approvals at the additional cost of $400,000 to meet the new requirements of the HAOD. A few years later we were developing the east side of Haven Avenue at 4e St with a project then called Gateway. The requirements for that project did not change and there were no exceptions to the guidelines under HAOD. The project cost millions in losses because the City would not waver to allow development to occur based upon the City's strict requirements. We had to build exactly what was allowed and not fast food restaurants, gas stations or any single story building along Haven Avenue. It's obvious that because of your harsh requirements, there has been limited development along Haven Avenue. But that is part of doing business in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. And how many times have I heard that saying. Now ten years later the City feels it may be ready to amend its reauirements and permit the building cfa fast food restaurant and gas station. Now, how would you feel after bowing down to the pressure of the City Planners and the Planning Commission, only to see a fast food restaurant and a gas station on the Agen&t, and actually being scheduled for Commission review? In addition, why wasn't public notice given to the surrounding property owners along the Haven Avenue corridors? I believe that there is still a need for banks, restaurants (not fast food), or office buildings within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Since most of the HAOD is within the Indus~al Area Specific Plan, the City should provide the financing tools and work with owners and developers to lessen the financial impact of these future projects. If you are determined to proceed with the approval of this project, you will have no reason to deny more proposals like this along H~Avenue, and you will not be able to say no to future projects like the above-noted one. ~n'~r~c~usiness Center Drive · Rancho Cucamonga~ C^ O1730 · {909) 980-1643 · [AX (909) 989-0445 RESOLUTION NO.

The project is in conformance with this required ratio. ANALYSIS: A. General: The project is located on 4th Street, a Special Boulevard, which requires Planning Commission review. The proposed building is designed for a single warehouse tenant (Bendetti - men's clothing). The building is designed with a grand entry facing the intersection. The storage and loading areas are screened by the building from 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue. The loading area is oriented towards the rear of the project facing north and will be screened from the 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue public rights-of-way with 8- foot high screen walls. The buildings incorporate three building materials; rough sandblasted concrete, concrete tilt- up panels, and limestone. The office portion of the buildings is very well articulated with strong vertical and horizontal changes and recess to the building plane. These elements are carried along the fa(;:ade and are accented on the northwest and southwest coroers of the building. The entry plaza to the building is well planned and has a curvilinear accent with an oval shaped flowerbed in the middle of a black granite plaza floor. Additionally, the public patio areas are designed to be away from the loading areas. The color variation of the building is white with a blue accent color scheme on a concrete tilt-up fagade. There are limestone accents along the facade with blue reflective colored glazing accents to help create contrast. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the project on June 6, 2000. The applicant submitted a revised scheme to reduce pavement at the northeast corner of the site at that time. The Committee recommended approval (see attached Design Review Committee Action Comments Exhibit "F"). C. Technical and Gradinq Review Committees: The Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. D.

Comments: a-d) The project site is in a former vineyard now designated General Industrial in Subarea 14 within the Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan. The site is located on the northwest corner of Fourth Street and Santa Anita Avenue surrounded by existing industrial buildings. The proposed new warehouse will be consistent with existing land uses.

Comments: a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. The proposed new warehouse will be a storage facility for Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 4 men's formal clothing with future light manufacturing. The project will require 30 full- time employees; 22 office and 10 warehouse personnel. The addition of these employees will not create a demand for additional housing as approximately 20 employees will likely reside within the City or surrounding communities. c) Approximately 3.96 acres are proposed for development. The 81,860 square foot warehouse will be constructed in an area designated General Industrial (Subarea 14). Industrial buildings occur on the immediate north, east and south of the site. Day Creek Channel and the 1-15 are west and adjacent to the property. There are no residential structures within the vicinity.

( ) ( ) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 3.5 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 6 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing MW 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 10 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault Zone, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 14 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. Soil types on-site and in the vicinity are Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are relatively stable but subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively shallow. A soil report, prepared by Environmental Geotechnology Laboratory, Inc. on October 29, 1999, concluded that liquefaction and related hazards are unlikely at the site due to the absence of high groundwater. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 5 Adhering to recommendations presented in the report and the Unilorm Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The project site is not located near a body of water. The Day Creek C, hannel, which runs adjacent to the west boundary of the site, contains water intermittently generally during heavy storms. The applicant will provide a clrainage study for review and approval by City engineer showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance of a grading permit. This is a condition of project approval. e) The site is relatively flat and is located in a developed industrial area adjacent to the Day Creek Channel. Therefore, the site is not susceptible to landslides or mudflows. f) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal. Grading will ew~n out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage, g-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They are relatively stable but are subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively shallow. A soil report, prepared by Environmental Geotechnology Laboratory, Inc. on October 29, 1999, concluded that liquefaction and related hazards are unlikely at the site due to the absence of high groundwater. New development on such soils are required to meet current earthquake standards as required by the Uniform Building Code.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 7 Comments: a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super- Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is fugitive dust (PM~0) will be generated during grading the site. Tihe ',~ite is relatively small (5 acres) to generate significant PM~0 emissions. However, in c::onjunction with other development projects in the area could generate PM~0 emi,~;sions over the SCAQMD threshold. Sources of emissions dudng this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed sur[aces. NOx and PM~0 levels may be exceeded during this phase, however with implementation of the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduces to less-than-significant levels. 1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stalbilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2. Fourth Street and Santa Anita Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~0 emissions. 5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 7. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use, c-d) The proposed project is to construct an 81,960 square warehouse with related office space. Building uses will include the storage of men's formal clothing with future light manufacturing. The proposed uses are consistent with permitted uses specified within the Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Specific Plan, Subarea 14, General Industrial. Construction of the industrial building will include adequate parking and Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 8 landscaping in accordance with the City code. The end use of the proposed project, a warehouse with related office space, will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

( ) (,/) f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) (¢') alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ( ) Comments: a) The project site is part of the larger Industrial Area Specific Plan. The City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. In addition, the project is required to comply with standard conditions of approval for provision of adequate ingress/egress from the site, employee/visitor parking on-site, and large truck access. Compliance with conditions of approval will ensure that project-related trips are less than significant. b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel with an entry on the west side of Santa Anita Avenue. Traffic flow through is provided in the design so that visitors to the site will not back up on the street. For example, vehicles entering the facility may continue west to parking provided on the north side of the warehouse or make an immediate left to additional parking on the east side of the warehouse. Access for emergency vehicles is adequate with 35-foot driveways. g) Located approximately 2 miles northeast of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft. · .

( ) ( ) (.z') Comments: a) The site is within the Ontario Habitat Recovery Unit for the Delhi ;Sands Flower- Loving Fly (DSFLF) as identified within the US Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the DSFLF dated September 14, 1997. On August 23, 1999, Impact Sciences biologists conducted a field survey to determine potential suitable habitat for the Federal listed endangered DSFLF. The report concluded that the project site supports surface characteristics (e.g., unconsolidated sandy soils) associated with the DSFLF habitat. However, a majority of the site, approximately 95 percent of the vegetation that occurs onsite, is comprised of non-native weedy, vegetation types. Approximately 50 to 90 percent of the site is covered with some form of vegetation. Optimal vegetative cover for the DFSLF is in the range of 10--20 percent (USFWS 1997). Additionally the presence of bordering commercial/industrial development limits potential habitat corridors. b-c) Approximately 95 percent of the plants that occur onsite are non-.native weedy species. There are no trees located onsite. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) The presence of bordering commercial/industrial development within the area has eliminated any wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.

Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project so no impacts to fire services will occur. Police protection - Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the warehouse and related office space will not change current facility operating hours and will not have a substantial increase in area to be patrolled as the project site is small, approximately five acres. Schools - The proposed construction activities will not generate a substantial number of new job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area. Therefore, construction activities will not adversely impact local schools. Parks - Proposed construction activities will not generate a substantial number of new job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area. Employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. Therefore, construction of the industrial building will not adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities. Public facilities - The project site is surrounded by commercial/industrial building within the City of Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan, Subarea 14, General Industrial. The project will utilize existing facilities within the currently developed vicinity. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potent~ly un~ess Than 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife · population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? : Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 15 Issues and Supporting information Sources: PotentiallyUnless Than b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) (,") ( ) to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ( ) (,,') environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The Initial Study did not identify any significant adverse ~mpacts to biological resources. The vegetation onsite in composed mainly of non-native species. The site does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species as indicated in a Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly Habitat Evaluation Report. b) Short-term air quality impacts as a result of the proposed project were identified. These impacts will occur during site grading and construction and will not be an impact once these activities cease. The contractor will be required to minimize construction-related emissions through mitigation measures identified in Section 5. These measures will reduce impacts to less than significant. c) Cumulative effects of the warehouse will increase traffic within the immediate vicinity. However the impacts are not considered significant as the site plan includes set backs to mitigate potential back up into the street and the applicant will be required to pay appropriate transportation fees. d) Development of the 81,960 square foot warehouse would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The initial study did not identify any impacts that would have a potentially significant affect to the environment. ; Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-08 Page 16 EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

Desi.qn Parameters: The site contains one vacant parcel that is 3.96 acres. There are no mature trees on the site nor is there other significant vegetation on the site. The site is currently cultivated as a vineyard. The site slopes from north to south at appreximately 2 percent. The site is surrounded by industrial building (Ryder trucks) to the north. To the east across Santa Anita Avenue are industrial buildings, and to the south across 4th Street are industrial buildings (City of Ontario). To the west is the Day Creek Channel and Edison power line corridor and further to the east is the Interstate 1-15. The proposed building is designed for a single warehouse tenant (Bendetti - men's clothing). The building design is odented to front 4th Street (appreximately 538 feet) and will front Santa Anita Avenue (289 feet) on the West Side of the property. The building will have office area (7,200 square feet of office ground floor and a 6,500 square foot meT-/~qine office area) that fronts the southeast comer of 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue on to Jersey Avenue. The storage and loading areas do not face or are visible from 4th Street or Santa Anita Avenue. The loading area is odented towards the rear of the project facing north and will be screened from the 4th Street and Santa Anita Avenue public rights-of-way with 8-foot high screen walls. The buildings incorporate three pdmary building materials; rough sandblasted concrete, concrete tilt-up panels and limestone. The office portion of the buildings is very well articulated with streng vertical and horizontal changes and recess to the building plane, that are carded throughout and along the fac,.ade, and are accented on the northwest and southwest comers of the building. The entry plaza to the building is well planned and has a curvilinear accent with an oval shaped flowerbed in the middle of a black granite plaza floor. Additionally, the public patio areas are designed to be away from the loading areas. The color variation of the building is white, with a blue accent color scheme on a concrete tilt-up fa~ade. There are limestone accents along with blue reflective colored glazing accents to help create contrast. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Major Issues: Staff has no major issues with this project the applicant has addressed eadier issues with staff and staff is pleased with the outcome. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Provide a detail of the 4-foot high pedestrian plaza screen wall, to make sure that it is compatible with the architecture of the building. 2. The applicant should consider how to address severe Santa Ana winds, which may affect north-facing docks.

Design Parameters: The project is part of Development Review 99-04, a master plan including a 3 story hotel, which was approved by the Planning Commission in March of 1999. The site has frontage on Foothill Boulevard with existing curb and gutter improvements in place. The site has been rough graded and slopes at approximately 3 to 4 percent from north to south. The pad sits '~3 feet below the Applebee's parking lot. Undulating landscaped slopes have been installed along the project frontage. The on-site driveway spine has also been installed. The project is directly east of the Applebee's restaurant, and the Haven Wine and Liquor building is approved for the site to the east of the project. According to the developer, the Haven Wine and Liquor project and the Rancho Cucamonga Hotel project have been abandoned (only the master plan will be utilized). Also, the two buildings were not intended to exactly match each other in terms of architectural features. Therefore, Kinko's could either 1) conform to the designs established by these two previously approved, yet now abandoned projects, or 2) follow some of the design characteristics of the Applebee's restaurant and Buddies Bistro to the west and southwest. Applebee's and Buddies Bistro are completely different designs. The.building has a flat parapet and tile roof covered tower (similar to the tower on Buddies Bistro) on the east side to establish an entry statement, wall surface/parapet projections, canopies, decorative wall tile accents and light fixtures, and wainscoting. Overall appearance is very similar to the Terra Vista Town Center across Foothill Boulevard (except for precision block wainscot). To mitigate high winds, a vestibule has been provided at the entry. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Redesign loading area on south side of building to provide landscaping against wall. 2. Consider alternative grading and drainage solution along west side of building. Goal is to plant trees within this space, which is prevented by retaining wall and 'V' gutter. One suggestion would be to put retaining wall and 'V' gutter at the property line instead of down the middle of this 10-foot wide setback. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. All columns should have consistent 2-foot depth. 2. Provide additional trees (sycamores) and hedgerow planting along Foothill Boulevard frontage. Many of the eucalyptus trees that were recently planted are dead. These should be replaced with sycamore trees. 3. Brick veneer, similar to that of Applebee's, or tile wainscoting should be used instead of precision block (i.e., concrete masonry units, "CMU", shown on plans). 4. Provide heavier member trellises on the east elevation. Trellises should match height of canopies on north and south walls and receive vine plantings at their bases trained to climb. DRC COMMENTS DR 00-30 - KINKO'S June 20, 2000 Page 2 5. Provide wall mounted trellises (minimum 2-inch wide square metal tubing) on, east and south elevations and provide vine planting for trellises to enhance blank areas of .,~;tucco walls. 6. Features such as parking lot light standards, landscape materials, decorative driveway and pedestrian pathway paving, and trash enclosure shall match that of Applebee's restaurant and the Buddies Bistro building. 7. The tile roofing shown on the elevation shall be mission tile as opposed to concrete shake. 8. Increase size and number of decorative tile wall accents to add visual interest. 9. Use color variation, tdm, and widened reveals to further enhance all building elevations. 10. Extend enhanced paving into both handicap spaces at building entry. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. Any roof mounted equipment, such as HVAC, satellite dishes or other forms of communication fixtures shall be completely screened through use of decorative walls that are incorporated into the building architecture. 2. Provide, at a minimum, one tree per 30 linear feet of perimeter property line, plus one tree per 30 linear feet of building wall, plus one tree per three parking spaces to shake 50 percent of the parking area. 3. A maximum of three wall signs are allowed (or two wall signs and one monument). 4. Provide trellis over trash enclosure with roll-up door. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be redesigned in light of the above comments and brought back for further review. Attachments: Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: John Mannerino, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee recommends approval subject to staffs comments with the following revisions. The applicant agreed to all of the items: 1. It is not necessary to eliminate the Iow retainingwall along the west side of the site so long as substantial shrub planting is provided along the top of the wall. The developer shall make a good faith effort to find a tree species that will grow along the west side of the building. If no such species can be found, the developer shall make a good faith effort to plant additional trees along the east side of the Applebee's restaurant site so that there are trees along the west elevation of the proposed building. 2. Provide double door vestibule for the main entry to mitigate strong seasonal winds out of the northeast. ", :' eVatiOn- st" . .. .......... ...... RESOLUTION NO.

Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY; Emily Wimer, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIE'W 00-01- KlM JAY AYLOR - A request to modify community trail alignment for two previously approved single-family hillside lots on 2 acres of land in the Very-Low Residential District, located at the southwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and Almond Street - APN: 1074-051-18 and 19. BACKGROUND: This public community trail runs through "The Woods," a development of custom and semi-custom homes within a grove of Eucalyptus trees. In order to preserve the unique character of the site, the original developer worked closely with the Trails Advisory Committee and staff on the trail alignment. The alignment was selected to minimize grading, maximize tree preservation, preserve natural reck outcroppings, and to parallel the stream whenever possible. The trail alignment was literally "field fit" by walking the path and carefully marking which trees should be saved. Trees and rocks exist in the trail. ANALYSIS: The attached map shows that the community trail has been previously moved, which increased the useable land for both lots (see Exhibit "C"). The trail currently slopes approximately 7.5 percent and will be increased to an 8.5 slope. The Trail Implementation Plan design standards allow up to 10 percent. The new trail alignment will not cause the removal of any Eucalyptus trees. The community trail currently has tree and rock outcroppings within the trail. The new layout of the trail will accommodate Eucalyptus trees and rock outcroppings to the fullest extent feasible. When the new trail is close to the top of slopes, alternative methods may be necessary to ensure long-term stability of the trail surface (ioe., soil compaction or other slope stabilizing measures). The applicant requested the modification of the Community Trail Alignment to increase the useable back yard area of the two lots. The modification was recommended for approval at the Trails Committee on June 14, 2000 with a condition that the applicant must confer with Maintenance and Engineering Divisions to resolve any outstanding issues of runoff or soil compaction. The applicant will complete a careful walk-through with staff, prior to construction. Staff believes that the proposed relocation is compatible with the surrounding development and complies with the objectives of the Trails Implementation Plan and the Trails Advisory Committee. ITEM E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 00-01 - KlM JAY AYLOR July 12, 2000 Page 2 PROCESS: If approved by the Planning Commission, the applicant would proceed with a request to vacate the existing trail alignment. Vacations require a City Council approval. Once approved by City Council, the applicant would have their engineer prepare public improvement plans, and post bonds and improvement agreements. CORRESPONDENCE: Notices were mailed to all property owners within the tract. RECOMMENDATION: The Trails Advisory Committee and staff recommend t~at the Planning Commission approve the modification to the Community Trail though the attached Resolution.

ABSTRACT: Under State law, the Office of the State Architect has the authority to review and approve school facilities. In order "to promote the safety of pupils and comprehensive community planning," the school district is required to solicit a written report from the Planning Commission prior to acquiring the land. The Planning Commission is required to investigate the site and detail its recommendations, in wdting, to the school district. SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North - Building materials yards; ESP Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units/acre) South - Vacant land; ESP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) East -Vacant and single-family residence; ESP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) West - Historic church and single family residence; VCP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) B. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acm) North - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units/acre) beyond the railroad right-of-way South - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) East - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) West - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units/acre) ITEM F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PR 00-12 July 12, 2000 Page 2 C. Site Characteristics: The site is predominantly vacant with one single-family house of historical significance. The house is in need of major refurbishment. There are mature F-ucalyptus windrows along the northern boundary (railroad right-of-way) and native Palms interspersed with numerous mature Silk Oaks, along the Etiwanda Avenue frontage. The rest of the site is undeveloped with native grasses. The conceptual site plan addresses some of the traffic concerns by providing an extensive drop-off area on site, along the Eitwanda Avenue frontage, and a school bus circle at the southwest comer. The majodty of the school buildings are clustered near the center with play areas along the site's periphery. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Etiwanda School Distdct is proposing to purchase property to construct a new elementary school. The conceptual design consists of approximately 50,000 square feet to accommodate around 775 students in grades K through 5 with 30 teachers/administrators. Attendance boundaries are not known. ANALYSIS: A. Land Use: The proposed school site is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan which calls for a proposed elementary school in this block. The property is located within the Etiwanda Avenue Oveday Distdct (Exhibit "C") which encourages protection and enhancement of the visual and historical character and quality of Etiwanda Avenue and its immediate surroundings through special setbacks, building orientation, river rock curbing, and landscape treatment. In addition, the Etiwanda Specific Plan calls for preservation of the Eucalyptus trees along Etiwanda Avenue. Although public schools are not subject to the City's zoning regulations, we would encourage the applicant to follow the spirit of these regulations whenever possible. B. Traffic: ESP Policy 3.43.200 discourages traffic increases in the area as follows: "In recognition of its historic character, discourage excessive traffic on Etiwanda Avenue, particularly north of Base Line, in order to maintain current street widths and design character where possible, and to carefully define those areas where change may be required because of traffic demand." The location of an elementary school will increase traffic along Etiwanda Avenue at peak student drop-off and pick-up periods. Since the ESP shows this area as a potential elementary school site, this situation could be considered as justification to accept the increased traffic for school purposes. The Engineering staff has requested information from the school district regarding from where the students are expected to travel (school attendance boundaries). A pedestrian activated signal may be warranted for crossing to the school from the west side of Etiwanda Avenue and temporary sidewalks may be needed on both sides of the street for students. C. Historic Preservation: The palms and Silk Oaks along the frontage are part of the original Etiwanda Avenue street tree plan and therefore should remain as part of any site development due to their histodc significance. The existing home, known as the "Fisher House," is designated a local Historic Landmark (#32) and was built in approximately 1895. The District's plan shows the structure being included in the site development off of a parking lot traffic circle at the southwest corner. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PR 00-12 July 12, 2000 Page 3 Other landmarks that are in proximity along Etiwanda Avenue include the Chaffey-Garcia House, Etiwanda Congregational Church, Isle House and the Pacific Electric Railroad Station. This grouping of historic structures lends itself to form the basis of an historic district within Etiwanda. D. Gradinq: Drainage issues affect most development within the Etiwanda area. A drainage study is needed. The grading plan should be considered early in the planning process and should designed so as not to significantly impact the surrounding properties and street. The proposed grading plan and alternatives and should be evaluated in the environmental assessment process. E. Investi.qation: The proposed site acquisition does not require Design Review Committee review or Technical Review Committee review; however, the site acquisition was investigated by the Planning Division. The following comments are offered for the Planning Commission's consideration: 1. Preserve the "Fisher House" on the site in a setting compatible with the structure's histodc context as a "citrus grove house." The house should be placed in an open setting of approximately one acre in size with landscaping in keeping with the early 1900's. Placing the house next to a busy drop-off area without sufficient buffer must be considered a significant adverse impact to the structure's historic context. The ideal location is at the northwest comer of the site because it would complete the cluster of historic buildings (Pacific Electdc Station, Chaffey-Garcia House, Etiwanda Congregational Church, and the Isle House) at each corner of the railroad corridor. 2. Preserve in place the Eucalyptus trees along the northern property line and the Silk Oaks and palms along the Etiwanda Street frontage when developing the school site. Those that cannot be preserved in place, should be relocated elsewhere on site if the age, size, and health of the trees make replanting a viable altemative. Because the Windrows of Etiwanda have been identified as a National Register eligible Rural Landscape Historic District, a replanting plan should be an identified mitigation. 3. Decorative metal fencing, rather than chain link, should be used to secure the site. The school's design should emulate the historic architectural styles of the community. 4. The school's site plan should be sensitive to the guidelines of the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The special Etiwanda Avenue setback requirement of 25-30 feet (ESP Figure 5-25) in addition to the standard 20-foot setback should be incorporated into the school site plan. The parking area and buildings should be set back from the rock curb by 50 feet. 5. Street frontages should be improved to the standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. 6. The school district should coordinate street improvements and access locations with the City Traffic Engineer. 7. A Development Review application including, but not limited to, site plans, building elevations, and landscape plans should be submitted to the City for a courtesy review. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PR 00-12 July 12, 2000 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide (:;omments, which will be forwarded in writing to the school distdct for their consideration.

Expand the Site Plan to show surrounding land uses, existing driveway locations within 200 feet (north, south and across the street) and label the SANBAG right-of-way. 2. Provide a Site Utilization Map indicating areas from which students will be walking and where they will cross Etiwanda Avenue. Install a pedestrian activated signal for a school crossing of Etiwanda. Install temporary asphalt sidewalks off site on both sides of Etiwanda for school age pedestrians. 3. Identify the location of the school's main entrance gate on the Site Plan. Show a pedestrian path on site from the Etiwanda Avenue pedestrian signal to the main entrance gate. 4. Dedicate an additional 4 feet of right-of-way for Etiwanda Avenue (44 feet measured from the street centerline). 5. Etiwanda Avenue shall be fully improved upon development. Widening may not be required, but existing cobble curb and gutter shall be repaired as needed (see Standard Drawing 105-B). Recent projects north and south of this site used a 46-foot curb-m-curb dimension and removed and replace existing pavement as needed. Install a 5-foot property line adjacent sidewalk (about 15 feet back of curb) and street trees per attached Etiwanda Specific Plan figure 5-25. Install street lights and "No Parking Any Time" (R26) signs to City standards. 6. Street improvement plans, prepared by a registered Civil Engineer, shall be submitted to and approved by the City Engineer. Prior to any work being performed in public fights-of-way, fees shall be paid and a construction permit shall be obtained from the City Engineer's office. Security shall be posted and an agreement executed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and City Attorney guaranteeing completion of the public improvements, prior to the issuance of a City construction permit. 7. In accordance with the attached "Existing Overhead Utility Requirements" handout, development will be required to underground existing overhead utilities along Etiwanda Avenue when the street improvements are installed. 8. Provide a conceptual Grading Plan that shows how the site will be drained. If the east side of the site will be raised to drain to Etiwanda Avenue, site boundary cross sections shall show the resulting edge conditions along the east and south property lines. Developed flows cannot cross '~ I[ ,of2 property lines without easements or written drainage acceptance agreements frc,m the adjacent property owner(s). 9. Provide a drainage study to determine the increase in runoff (QI00) to Etiwanda Avenue as a result of developing this site. Determine whether additional catch basins are needed on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue and how far north of its existing terminus the local storm drain in Etiwanda needs to be emended. It currently ends about 60 feet south of this site. 10. The site is located in Area 8 of the attached Etiwanda/San Sevaine Area Drainage Policy. That policy calls for installation of an interim master plan basin along East Avenue south of the 1-15 Freeway to replace a temporary facility on the south side of Base Line Road north of the I-15 Freeway. The master plan storm drain in Base Line would need to be extended east to and south along East Avenue at the same time. Property for the interim basin shall be acquired by the developer. 11. Drive approaches shall conform to City Standard Drawing 101, Type C. Mininmm width is 35 feet. Driveways shall be spaced at least 300 feet apart, since this is an Arterial stxeet. 12. Bus turning radii should be plotted to be sure the bus loading area can accommodate buses. 13. The student drop offlane should accommodate two lanes for cars. There should be one 12-foot through lane and the curb lane shall be 20 feet wide. 14. Provide sufficient off street parking. 15. Line of Sight designs shall be provided for all project driveways, in accordance with the attached policy. 2 of 2 STONE ~ TOP OF CURB FLOW LINE FRONT VIEW EDGE TOP OF CURB TO PRESENT -- SMOOTH APPEARANCE WHEN REOUIRED & E~ND 1~ ~ DOWEL COBBLE CURB A GUTTER NOTES: 1.
