Site Description: The site has been rough graded in anticipation of development of single-family homes. The site is vacant and relatively fiat, with no significant stand of trees or other vegetation. E. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: General: The proposed subdivision and house designs were reviewed in "concept" by the Commission as pad of Tract 16081; however, the current proposal, was no._~t under the ownership of Tdmark Pacific Homes. Shortly, after the Commission's approval of Tract 16081 on November 21, 2000, the applicant purchased the property from William Lyon Homes. Tdmark Pacific Homes will develop four house plans (five plans for the entire project including Tract 16081), each having four different architectural styles: Spanish, Monterey, Traditional, and Craftsman. All of the plans have their own unique style and are configured as follows: Plan 2 is two-story, 2,457 square feet, and features a three-car (two tandem space) front-on garage and recessed entryway. The plan is a three bedroom with a den option or a four-bedroom feature. Plan 3 is two-story, 2,521 square feet, and features a three-car (two-tandem space) front-on garage with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes a three-bedroom plan with an option for a fourth bedroom or den. Plan 4 is two-story, 2,765 square feet, and features a three-car (two-tandem space) front-on garage with a centralized and recess entryway. The plan also includes a four-bedroom plan with an option for a fifth bedroom or den and an optional deck. Plan 5 is two -story, 2,898 square feet, and features a three-car front-on and side-on garage with a centralized and recessed entryway. The four-bedroom plan also has an option of a den or additional bedroom. The side and rear elevations feature window surrounds, and second story balconies. F. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (McNeil, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the project on March 6, 2001, and recommended approval with no conditions. Action comments have been attached for your convenience (Exhibit "G"). G. Gradinq Review Committee: The Grading Committee originally reviewed the project as a part of Tract 16081 on September 5, 2000. The Committee recommended approval subject to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval. H. Environmental Assessment: Pads I and II of the Initial Study have been completed. Staff determined that the project could have a significant adverse environmental impact on short-term air quality dudng site preparation. Such impacts would be caused by grading and equipment exhaust. Staff also determined that there may be noise impacts to future residents PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16164 AND DRCDR01-02 - TRIMARK PACIFIC HOMES April 11, 2001 Page 3 within the subject tract resulting from traffic along Day Creek Boulevard. A noise study was prepared which identified noise attenuation measures to reduce noise to acceptable levels. Four existing Eucalyptus trees have been removed because of poor health. Mitigation measures will be required to replace the trees, and to reduce the short-term air quality and noise impacts to a less than significant impact. 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 In~and Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract 16164 and Development Review 01-02 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,") b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') 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 project site is located on the southwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard in the City of Rancho Cucamonga within the Victoda Community Plan area. The land use designation is Low-Medium Residential (4 to 8 dwelling units per area). The project is adjacent to and east of the previously approved Tentative Tract Map 16081. Development will include four floor plans ranging from 2,100 square feet to 2,900 square feet in size. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed and therefore no impacts will result from the project. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: pc~te~tially unless 2. POPULATION AND HOU~NC~ Would the proposah 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)?

Comments: a-b) The project consists of the subdivision and development of 20 single family lots on 6.26 acres of land designated as Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per area) located on the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed. Therefore, the project will not result in a change in the City's population projections. The Cucamonga County Water District confirmed that it has the ability to provide adequate sewer and water service for the project. c) The project site is currently vacant. Land immediately east and north of the site is currently being developed as residential, and land south of the site is scheduled for residential development. Currently there are no existing structures onsite, therefore, existing housing will not be displaced. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 3.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,~) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,") Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 5 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 1 mile 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 Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 9 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 11.5 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. Adhedng to the City grading standards and the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The site is not located near a body of water. The Day Creek Channel is located immediately west of the site and carries drainage flows intermittently. e) The site is relatively fiat so grading will be minimal. Maximum proposed cuts and fills are approximately 8 and 10 feet, respectively. Maximum cut and fill-slope heights will be approximately 8 feet at a height and vertical gradient of 2:1, respectively. Grading will even out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage. f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the project because the site is currently vacant. Grading will be done in accordance with a grading plan approved by the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant. f-h) The General Plan indicates the Tujunga-Soboba soil association for the site which has only slight erosion potential and runoff potential is slow to very slow. Soils are suitable for residential development. Petra Geotechnical, Inc. prepared a subsurface investigation for the site in 1998 and found subsurface materials consisted of nonindurated silty, poorly graded and gravelly sands with some cobbles. The upper three to six feet of materials were generally dry and loose with moisture and density increasing with depth. Based on laboratory tests run on the materials, the report concluded that the subject property was considered suitable for residential development, provided that recommendations presented in the report were incorporated into the project specifications. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PotenUallyunless Than 4, WATER.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,") h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,') groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Comments: a) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. The developer will be required to channel the surface runoff from the project to existing storm drains to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Recommendations presented in the Comprehensive Geotechnicel Update Report, prepared by Petra, will further ensure impacts will be considered less than significant. b) The site is located within Zone X which is outside of the 500-year flood plain as indicated on FEMA Map Number 060671, page 7895F, March 18, 1996. Although it is unlikely the area will receive flood waters, the proposed project will direct potential flows to drainage facilities. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant has submitted a report that addresses how stormwater runoff will be conveyed. Site plans depicting drainage facilities must be approved by a City engineer prior to issuance of a grading permit. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 7 f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

( ) (,') ( c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) (~') cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ) ( ) ) (,,) Comments: a) Although the site is less than the 177 acres per quarter SCAQMD threshold of significance for,~am, grading emissions, the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspende~ particulates (PM~0). For this reason mitigation measures will be used to minimize the project contribution to regional emission of cdteria pollutants. The criteda pollutants screened for are: reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM~o). Two of these, ROG and NOx, are ozone precursers. The proposed project was screened using the URBEMIS7G emissions model. Default values were used where project specific information was unavailable. Though not required, construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1). The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the ITE Tdp Generation Manual 6th edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model. In order to reflect the purely residential nature of the proposed project, the default fleet mix was modified to decrease the number of medium to heavy duty diesel trucks and increase the number of light passenger vehicles. Wood stoves and wood burning fireplaces were deleted as inappropriate home heating sources in this region. The project operational emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance (Table 2).

These potential sensitive receptors will be exposed to exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed sun'aces. Such construction activities may cause NO× and PM~0 levels to exceed daily significant thresholds. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at less than significant levels. 1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2. Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard 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. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 9 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 the subdivision of 6.26 acres of a vacant site into 20 single- family units, in accordance with the City code. The end use of the proposed project, Low-Medium Residential, will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

The proposed land use is consistent with the goals of the Victoria Community Plan, the project proponent will be required to construct necessary street improvements and pay traffic impact fees as established by the City Council to off-set the incremental increase in traffic as a result of the project. b-d) Access to the site is provided by a street off of Victoria Park Lane and another off of Day Creek Boulevard. Both streets will allow full access without impeding the through traffic. Access for emergency vehicles will be adequate with 45-foot street entrances. e/f) The new facility will not cause a hazard or barrier to pedestrians or cyclists because adequate points of ingress/egress have been provided and there is adequate parking along streets. No bus turnout is proposed. g) Located approximately seven miles northeast of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

The 90-acre survey area is bordered on the east by Day Creek Boulevard, on the west by Day Creek Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 11 Channel, on the south by the former Southern Pacific Railroad easement and the northern border is approximately half way between Highland Avenue and the former Southern Pacific Railroad easement. Trapping was conducted according to standard protocols developed for the SBKR. The report concluded that the species is not present on the project site and based on previous surveys of the surrounding area the SBKR does not occur within the immediate area. The site was subsequently rough graded and all vegetation has been removed. b-c) Based on an Arborist report prepared for the project site, three of the four Eucalyptus trees that occur onsite are severely damaged and the fourth is moderately damaged. All trees have been removed due to rough grading of the site. The trees were considered "heritage trees" and are subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (RCMC 19.08). The developer had acquired the necessary Tree Removal Permit. Trees will be replaced on a one-for-one basis as mitigation. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site because the site has been rough graded. e) The project site is undeveloped and contains no vegetation because the site has been rough graded..

Would the proposah a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) (,') plans? b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) inefficient manner? c) Result in the loss of availability of a known ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? Comments: a-b) The project will be required to conform with applicable City standards for energy conservation. c) The project site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an area classified as a Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ-2). An MRZ-2 zone contains deposits of known value and marketability. However, the State Geologist has determined that the area is not a Designated Area of available resources due to urbanization.

Comments: a,c,d) There is no evidence of commercial or industrial uses at the site. Based on a Phase I Site Assessment prepared by LFR Levine Fricke for the site, various types of vegetation were present with minimal amounts of trash and debris scattered throughout the site. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, or hazardous waste was observed ensite at the time of inspection. There was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. b) The proposed project will provide adequate emergency access with a 45-foot driveway entrance from Victoria Park Lane and another 45-foot entrance off of Day Creek Boulevard. Standard fire suppression equipment (tire hydrants) will be provided on streets and cul-de-sacs at the direction of City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department. e) There is no vegetation present onsite because the site has been rough graded. Areas surrounding the site include paved roadways (Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard) or are existing single family residences. Development within the area has eliminated any flammable brush off-site. The site is not within a fire hazard overlay district as identified by theRancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District.

Will the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) (~') ( ) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) (~') ( ) ( ) Comments: a) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the development would add people and traffic to the area. It is likely that residential development currently under construction to the immediate north and east will be completed and occupied by the time construction activities commence at the project site. Residents of these two developments will be impacted by noise associated with construction activities. However construction activities will be short-term and will cease upon project completion. Increases in noise levels could result from residential traffic on roadways that provide access to the site. These long-term vehicular trip increases will amount to approximately 1,165 trips per day (for the entire development of 122 residences). The incremental traffic noise level increases would be less than significant. b) The proposed project is the construction of 20 single-family lots on the southwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard. Currently the project site is vacant and is impacted by traffic noise associated with the use of Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard. A revised Acoustical Analysis prepared for the site by Gordon Bricken & Associates (January 23, 2001) examined exterior and interior noise exposure and determined that the project would exceed the City of Rancho Cucamonga's residential requirements of an exterior and interior noise level of 65 CNEL and 45 CNEL, respectively. Projected future roadway noise used in the analysis was based on Federal Highway Administration's Highway Noise Prediction Model RD-77-108 in addition to several roadway and site parameters. The analysis concluded that first floor exterior noise levels may reach 66 dBA CNEL at the rear yards of lots 52 and 95. Interior noise levels for second floor rooms facing Day Creek Boulevard will be exposed to noise levels as high as 69 dBA CNEL. In order to reduce exterior and interior noise levels to 65 dBA and 45 dBA, respectively, the following mitigation measures are proposed: Sound barriers at least seven feet high must be erected along the east side of Lots 1 thru 20. The required noise control barriers may be constructed using any of the materials listed in the ProJect Noise Study. Each completed noise control barrier must present a solid face from top-to-bottom. Cutouts and openings are not permitted except for drain holes. Interior noise control shall be achieved through building construction guidelines outlined in Tables 4 and 5 of the Project Noise Study.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,') Comments: The Victoda Community Plan identifies the project ama as Low-Medium Residential within the Victoria Windrows sub-planning area. Appropriate conditions of approval addressed in the Victoria Community Plan EIR will be placed on the project prior to development. a-e) Fire Protection - The project site is located on the southwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Day Creek Boulevard in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and is served by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District. The nearest fire station is located approximately 660 feet west of Day Creek Boulevard, on the north side of Baseline Road. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District is responsible for evaluating the project through the City's Development Review and Growth Management process. The proposed project will include structural fire protection standards contained in the Uniform Fire Code. No additional mitigation is proposed. Police Protection - Police Protection for the area is provided by a contract with the County Sheriff Department to act as the City police department. The proposed residential development will include standard security devices such as street lighting, and locks on all windows and doors. Additional police protection is not required as the addition of 20 single family homes will not cause a substantial increase in area to be patrolled as the project site is small, approximately 6.26 acres developed. Schools -The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint High School District serve the project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the school impact fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not considered significant. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 15 Parks - Proposed 20 single family homes will not generate a substantial number of new people to the area. The need for parks and open space was integrated into the Victoria Community Plan. Therefore, the new residential community will not adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities. Public facilities - The proposed residential development is consistent will the City's Victoria Community Plan which designates the area as Low-Medium Residential. The project proponent will be required to construct necessary street improvements and pay traffic impact fees as established by the City Council to off-set the incremental increase in traffic as a result of the project.

All necessary utilities are available in the immediate area. Utility systems installed to service existing development within the area, are adequate and will not require major modifications or alterations: Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the refuse at a permitted landfill. The project will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. Flows from the proposed site will drain into Day Creek Master Plan Storm Drain system. As stated within the Geotechnical Report prepared by Petra for the proposed project, sloping sidewalks, graded-swales and area drains will be utilized around each home to collect and direct all water away from the structures. Additional recommendations presented in the report, will ensure drainage improvements within the residential community are appropriate and adequate. Drainage Plans will be included in application submittals for City Engineer review and approval. Additional mitigation is not proposed or required.

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? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 18 Issues and Suppoding Information Sources: Polent~llyunl~s 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 bdef, 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 ( ) (v) ( ) ( ) 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 impacts to biological resources because the site has been rough graded and there is no vegeation onsite. Because of surrounding development, Victoda Park Lane, Day Creek Boulevard and immediate residential development, the project site does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species. Based on the trapping studies for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (SBKR) conducted by Kirtland Biological Services, no SBKR were trapped on the 90-acre survey area (includes the entire 29.9-acre project site). The 90-acre survey area is bordered on the east by Day Creek Boulevard, on the west by Day Creek Channel on the south by a former Southern Pacific Railroad easement and the northern border is approximately half way between Highland Avenue and the former Southern Pacific Railroad easement. The site was trapped according to standard protocols developed for the SBKR. The report concluded that the species is not present on the project site and based on previous surveys of the surrounding area the SBKR does not occur within the immediate area. b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of the project site. The short-term impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities. However, the impacts will cease once construction activities are completed. Long term impacts from noise can be mitigated through additional south attenuation measures during construction. Implementation of mitigation A,B q% Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16164, DR 01-02 Page 19 measures presented in this Initial Study will reduce project related impacts to less than significant. c) Cumulative effects of residential development in the Victoria Community Plan Area were identified in a previous environmental document. Appropriate analysis and mitigation measures were developed prior to the implementation of the Community Plan. No additional mitigation measures beyond those presented in the specific plan and this Initial Study are required. d) Development of 20 single-family residences would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. However, proposed mitigation measures will reduce impacts to less than significant. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality are short-term and will cease once construction activities are completed. An Acoustical Analysis prepared for the site by Gordon Bdcken & Associates, examined extedor and interior noise exposure and determined that the project would exceed the City's residential requirements of exterior and interior noise levels of 65 CNEL and 45 CNEL, respectively. Projected future roadway noise used in the analysis was based on Federal Highway Administration's Highway Noise Prediction Model RD-77-108 in addition to several roadway and site parameters. The analysis concluded that first floor exterior noise levels may reach 66 dBA CNEL at the rear yards of lots 1 thru 20. Interior noise levels for second floor rooms facing Day Creek Boulevard will be exposed to noise levels as high as 69 dBA CNEL. Mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study will reduce traffic noise impacts to less than significant. 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). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to appliceble legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

South- Community Commercial/Medium-High Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre). East Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre). West Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre). D. Site Characteristics: The site slopes gently from north to south at approximately 2 percent gradient. The site is void of unique features or significant vegetation. Tentative Tract 15174 is a subdivision of Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 15454, which was approved by the Planning Commission in April 2000, located in the southeast quadrant of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include the Village of Independence to the north, Home Depot to the south, the single-family neighborhood commonly referred to as the Rochester Tract to the east, and vacant land to the west. The perimeter of the Tentative Tract is bound by Church Street along the northwest boundary (existing improvements include curb/gutter and streetlights), Rochester Avenue forms the east boundary (existing improvements also include curb/gutter and streetlights), and Malaga Drive along the southwest boundary (existing improvements are complete only along the extent of the Home Depot development). ANALYSIS: A. General: Tentative Tract 15174 contains 181 lots, with a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet, intended for future development of single-family homes. Lot sizes within the tract range from the minimum 5,000 square feet to over 11,000 square feet. Because of the liberal introduction of knuckles and cul-de-sacs within the tract, many of the lots ara in the range of 5,500 to 7,000 square feet. The Terra Vista Community Plan identifies a Trail Type "D" that traverses the parcel, which is incorporated in the map design. Four lettered lots are included for trail and open space purposes. Access to the trail from within the tract is provided from the ends of the cul-de-sacs and knuckles. The trail provides access northerly to Church Street and Terra Vista Parkway, and southerly to Malaga Drive. Within walking distance to the tract is Terra Vista Elementary School and Mountain View Park, located northerly of the site along Terra Vista Parkway. The trail and open space dedications made within this tract will cumulatively be added to the requirements for Park Implementation upon completion. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee members (Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, and Larry Henderson) reviewed the project on March 8, 2001, and recommended approval of the project subject to modification to the Trail Type "D" that traverses the project. The corresponding Conditions of Approval have been included in the attached Resolution of Approval. C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on March 7, 2001, and recommended approval with the Standard Conditions of Approval along with conditions included in the attached Resolution of Approval. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TENTATIVE TRACT 15174 April 11,2001 Page 3 D. Environmental Assessment: An Initial Study has been prepared for the project. Mitigation has been included in the attached Resolution pertaining to short-term air quality impacts and noise impacts on future residents abutting Rochester Avenue. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, and adoption of the Resolution recommending approval of Tentative Tract Map 15174, subject to all Conditions of Approval.

Desitin Parameters: This parcel is designated Low-Medium Residential and Medium Residential of the Terra Vista Community Plan (TVCP). The net density of the proposed project is 5.46 dwelling units per acre, which is in the Low-Medium density range of the Community Plan. Flexibility is allowed in the TVCP to allow development within one range, either higher or lower than the designated density, subject to approval of the Planning Commission and the City Council. The standards of the Low-Medium Residential district will apply to the proposed development. The perimeter of the Tentative Tract is bound by Church Street to the north, Rochester Avenue to the east, and Malaga Drive along the south boundary. Church Street and Rochester Avenue are partially improved (curb, gutter, and pavement), however, Malaga Drive is improved only as far as the rear of The Home Depot. The site slopes gently from north to south at approximately 2 percent gradient. The site is void of unique features and significant vegetation. Tentative Tract 15174 is located in the southeast quadrant of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Surrounding land uses include the Village of Independence (Low-Medium Residential) and a vacant parcel designated Medium Residential, both on the north side of Church Street; existing single- family residential east of Rochester Avenue (a.k.a. the Rochester Tract); The Home Depot and a vacant parcel (designated Medium-High Residential) are both located south of Malaga Drive. The Tentative Tract is designed with a minimum 5,000 equare foot lot size. The Terra Vista Trail Type "D" traverses the site, from the intersection of Church Street at Terra Vista Parkway, through the site to Malaga Drive, joining the Type "E" trail on the north side of Malaga Drive. The Tract design incorporates a series of cul-de-sacs that open at the ends to allow access from with in the neighborhood to the trail system. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. 1. Expand the trail between lots 109 and 162. One possible approach is to angle in the lot line along the west line of lot 109 (see attached sketch). 2. The continuation of the trail from within the tract will extend along the east side of both "A" Street (on the north) and "H" Street (on the south). Therefore, the sidewalk, along the that portion of the streetscape should be 6-feet in width, and if the length of the block permits, meander the walkway. 3. The trail pathway should meander within the landscaped area as feasible. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to satisfactory resolution of issues pertaining to the trail. iVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM C o, R0n o camongo (Part I - Initial Study) Planning Division (909) 477-2750 The purpose of this form is to inform the City of the basic components of the proposed project so that the City may review the project pursuant to City policies, ordinances, and guidelines; the California Environmental Quality Act; and the City's Rules and Procedures to Implement CEQA.

( (X) h) Expansive soils? ( (X) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( (X Comments: a-c) No known earthquake faults pass through the site, it is not in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red Hill Fault passes approximately 2 miles north and west of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 4 miles northerly. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is approximately 10 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of producing Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is approximately 12 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. The site is located on stable soils, which are typically not subject to liquefaction. Adherence to the Uniform Building Code will ensure the geologic impacts are less than significant on residential construction. d) The site is not located near a body of water. e-f) The site has a relatively gentle grade, so landslides or mudflows are not likely to occur, and grading will be required only to create proper drainage and development of appropriate building pad areas. g-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi soil association. These soils are typically excessively drained, moderately sloping soil forming on alluvial fans. They are relatively stable, but are not subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively shallow. Prior to issuance of building permits, a soil report will be required by the Building and Safety Division. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

Comments: a) The project is expected to result in changes in absorption rates and drainage pattern. The site perimeter is largely bounded by improved streets, including Rochester Avenue along the east boundary and Church Street along the northerly boundary. Also, a portion of Malaga Drive is improved along the southerly boundary. The site slopes gently from north to south at approximately 2 percent gradient. A drainage study indicating how storm water will be directed to the existing storm drains in the immediate area must be approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. b) The site is not located within a 100-year flood plain. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. f-i) The project will have no impact on the direction or course of groundwater, nor will the project come in contact with groundwater or impact ground water quality.

Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an (X) ( ) ( ) existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (X) ( ) ( ) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or () () (X) cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (X) 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 the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. Sources of emissions during 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 surfaces. NOx and PM~0 levels may be exceeded during this phase; however, with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less-than-significant levels. 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with the SCAQMD Rule 403. 2) Perimeter streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM10 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 that construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. 6) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered equipment in-lieu of gasoline powered engines 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.

Because of the nature of the existing residential and commercial development in the area surrounding the site, the impacts of light/glare will not be significant. 14. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Disturb archaeological resources? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Affect historical or cultural resources? ( ) ( ) (X) ( ) d) Have the potential to cause a physical change () () () (X) which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) potential impact area? Comments: a-e) Although no cultural resources have been observed during previous grading on the site and on surrounding parcels, as well as during annual site maintenance, additional grading on the site may expose or unearth historic cultural resources. As the site is approximately 33 acres in size, and much of the surrounding area has previously been developed, the likelihood of unearthing cultural resources is minimal and impacts ara, therefore, considered to be less than significant. In the event that any such resources are discovered, the contractor will be required to contact the owner of the site and the San Bernardino County Museum for the proper recovery, removal, or documentation. 15. RECREATION. Would the proposal: a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional ( ) ( ) ) (X) parks or other recreational facilities? b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? ( ) ( ) ) (X) Comments: a) The proposed residential subdivision of 182 single-family homes will ~ncrementally increase the use of existing parks within Terra Vista; however, a Park Implementation Agreement was adopted by the City Council, which sets standards for park development within Terra Vista. b) The proposed subdivision is located southerly of the recently completed Mountain View Park, which is the park nearest to the proposed development. The proposed project will not negatively impact the use or enjoyment of any of the existing parks in Terra Vista or the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) 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 to ( ) ( ) (X) ( ) 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 () () () (X) 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 () () () (X) environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The site is not within an identified habitat area for any endangered species. Native vegetation was cleared from the site in 1984. At this time, the vineyard was removed and the site was graded to a "superpad" condition. Annual erosion and weed control measures have been undertaken since that time. There are no existing trees or structures remaining on the site. b) The project site is approximately 33 acres in size, and grading will entail establishing proper drainage and residential building pads suitable for future single- family development. Although the short-term construction activities may result in dust and noise which may be noticeable to existing residents in the immediate area, significant impacts are avoided through implementation of erosion control and dust suppression measures identified in Section 5. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15174 Page 13 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless~Leaan C) The proposed project does not have impacts that are individually limited or cumulatively considerable. The site is within the Terra Vista Community Plan, which permits residential density in the range proposed by Tentative Tract 15492. The Initial Study did not identify any impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's Standard Conditions of Approval. d) The proposed development on 33 acres would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located on a Low- Medium and Medium Density Residential parcel along Rochester Avenue at Church Street.

Proiect Density: 13.6 dwelling units per acre. B. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: NoAh - Single-family homes; Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre). South - Community Commercial East - Single-family homes; Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Single-family homes; Medium Residential (6-14 dwelling units per acre) and Low- Medium Residential (4-6 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) North - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) South - Community Commercial East - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Medium Residential (8-14 units per acre) and Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) Site Characteristics: The lot is generally flat, sloping downward to the south, with a substantial Iow- point in the south central portion of the site. The site is currently vacant with native trees and grasses present. ANALYSIS: A. General: The site is located within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District, which requires a conditional use permit. The Site Plan has been designed to respect the character of Etiwanda Avenue by providing generous building and landscape setbacks, and special fencing and landscape treatments. Fencing along Etiwanda Avenue will include a 6-foot high decorative masonry accent wall with decorative masonry pilasters. The proposed buildings fronting Etiwanda Avenue have enhanced elevations, and the building masses include both two-story and one-story elements to articulate the massing. The buildings facing the north boundary (Garcia Drive) have been pulled back a substantial distance from the street and predominantly have single-story elements facing the street. Single-story garage structures also provide a Iow massing transition along the Garcia Drive frontage. The Site Plan has been designed to create transitions to the residential uses existing and planned to the noah and west. The project will include a total of 18 apartment buildings comprised of three building types. In addition, there will also be a recreation/leasing office building. A substantial recreation/open space corridor is provided as a central spine within the development, which will include both active and passive recreation facilities. Active recreation uses include a community pool and spa, several tot lots, half court basketball, volleyball court, barbecue areas, and exercise facilities within the recreation building. The buildings will include a stucco finish, painted wood knee braces, ledge-stone battered walls, and a concrete fiat tile roof. The project perimeter will involve 6-foot high tubular steel fencing and split face masonry wall. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16181, DRCCUP00-47, VAR DRC2001-00081 RANCHO CUCAMONGA LAND COMPANY, LLC Apdl 11, 2001 Page 3 B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (McNeil, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the project on March 6, 2001, and recommend approval with conditions, which have been incorporated into the attached Resolution of Approval Action comments have been attached for your convenience (Exhibit "H"). C. Gradinq Review and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Committee reviewed the project March 6, 2001 and on March 20, 2001. The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on March 7, 2001. Both Committees recommend approval of the project subject to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval. D. Tree Removal Permit 00-47: Trees exist on the site along the western and southern boundaries and at the northwest corner. The only other plant materials are annual and perennial weeds and grasses. Trees that occur on-site must be removed to allow for the proposed construction. The trees are subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 276. The developer has acquired the necessary tree removal permit and has paid all associated fees. The impact is not considered significant. E. Environmental Assessment: The applicant has prepared Part I of the Initial Study and staff has completed Part II, the Environmental Checklist. Staff determined that the project could have a significant adverse environmental impact through short-term air quality impacts dudng site preparation. Such impacts would be caused by grading and equipment exhaust. Staff also determined that there may be noise impacts to future residents within the subject development resulting from traffic along Etiwanda Avenue, as well as biological impacts resulting from on-site tree removal. A noise study was prepared which identified noise attenuation measures. Mitigation measures will be required to reduce the short-term air quality and predicted future noise impacts to a less than significant impact, and trees are required to be replaced pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 276. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order. VARIANCE ANALYSIS: A. Buildin.q Setback Reduction: The applicant is proposing to reduce the required minimum side yard setback from 15 feet to 6 feet for seven garage structures along the south property line. The Etiwanda Specific Plan requires a 15-foot minimum side yard building setback for medium-density residential projects. The property is zoned primarily for multiple-family development (Medium Residential). The intent behind the setback requirement is to create a proportionally sufficient open space between larger multiple family projects and single family residential development. However, the property is unique because it adjoins a commercial zone (Community Commercial District). The applicant is proposing to construct single-story garage structures along the south property line. The proposed garage structures are non- habitable structures and provide a good buffer between the proposed apartments and future commercial development. Therefore, staff feels that the intent behind the building setback does not apply in this situation. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16181, DRCCUP00-47, VAR DRC2001-00081 RANCHO CUCAMONGA LAND COMPANY, LLC April 11, 2001 Page 4 B. Increased Wall Heiqht: The applicant is proposing to construct a perimeter wall of up to 15.5 feet (maximum 7.5-foot retaining plus 8-foot freestanding wall). The Development Code allows a maximum 6-foot wall for residential development. The 7.5-foot retaining wall is necessary to fill and retain a Iow-point at the south central portion of the site to achieve appropriate grades and proper site drainage. The 8-foot freestanding wall is necessary to provide privacy and security for the proposed multiple-family project from future commercial development. The combination wall will maintain the maximum 15.5 feet in height at the center of the south property line and taper down to 8 feet at the southeast and southwest ends of the site. Design and height of the wall will be visually mitigated through decorative block and vine treatments. C. Staff Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff believes that there are sufficient facts to support the findings. To address the aesthetics of the wall, a Condition of Approval requires the wall to have decorative treatment, such as, but not limited to: ~wo-tone color scheme, pattern arrangement to the materials, a decorative cap, and pockets for climbing vines. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the propertywas posted, and notices were mailed to all properly owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the applications through the adoption of attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

The development team agreed to resolve the identified major and policy issues. Commissioner McNiel asked for details regarding the proposed retaining wall with freestanding wall along the south boundary. Dan Guerra, Project Engineer, identified that the proposed retaining and freestanding Wall along the southern property line was necessary to fill a natural on-site swale and accommodate level grading of the site. it was identified that.a 6.5-foot retaining wall with a 6~foot freestanding wall (maximum 12.5-foot) would be needed for a central portion of the site. City Planner, Brad Buller discussed the possibility of an 8-foot freestanding wall (14.5-foot maximum wall) for separation between multiple family residential and future commercial development. The developer did not have difficulty with constructing a minimum footing to accommodate such a wall. The Committee further requested varying block of the masonry wall to allow visual relief, as well as vine pockets similar to a freeway wall. There was general discussion regarding the design and architectural treatments of the proposed buildings. Commissioner McNiel requested .architectural enhancements to 50 percent of the proposed Building A elevations (similar to Buildings B and C elevations). The developer agreed to work with staff and satisfy the Committees request. The Committee recommended approval of the proposed project.

Significant Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? ( ) ( ) (v) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) (,~) 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 site is bordered on the west by Etiwanda Avenue and on the north by Garcia Drive, and is approximately 500 feet north of Foothill Boulevard within the Efiwanda Special Plan. The land use designation is Medium Residential District (8 to 14 dwelling units per area). The applicant has proposed a tract map showing 13.6 units per acre, with approximately 15 units per apartment building for a total of 18 apartment buildings and 272 units on a net site area of 20 acres. c) The site plan has been designed to create transitions to the single-family residential uses existing and planned to the north and west. The proposed buildings fronting Etiwanda Avenue will have enhanced elevations and the building masses include both two and one story elements to articulate the massing. The apartment buildings fronting Garcia Drive will include both single and two story units and will have a setback of 90 feet from the street. The corresponding distance between apartments and single-family residences nearest Garcia Drive will be approximately 175 feet. Single story garages and parking spaces will be located adjacent to Garcia Drive and will have setbacks ranging from a minimum of 15 feet to a maximum of 31 feet. Apartment buildings and garages will not exceed two stories. The eight-foot wall to be located along Etiwanda Avenue will continue on Garcia Ddve and will provide a buffer for garages and parking spaces. The proposed project will incorporate design elements including setbacks along street frontages, a substantial setback from single-family residences to the north, and similar building heights with neighboring single-family residences, to ensure that the proposed project is compatible with existing land uses.

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-b) The proposed project is the construction of a 272-unit apartment complex and related recreation/leasing office on 20 acres of land designated as Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per area) located immediately east of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Garcia Drive. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed. Therefore, the project will not result in a change in the City's population projections. The Cucamonga County Water District confirmed they have the ability to provide adequate sewer and water service for the project. c) Land immediately north and northeast of the site following Garcia Drive is currently being developed as residential. A single-family residence is located south of the site, and a few residences are located west and northwest of the site following Etiwanda Avenue. No impacts will result, as the site is currently vacant and existing. housing will not be displaced. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,") i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v) 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 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 4.4 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 9.0 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 11.5 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong eadhquake coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. Based on the site located, seiches do not pose a hazard. Adhering to the City grading standards and the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The project site is not located near a body of water. A drainage detention basin, located adjacent to the east boundary of the site, contains water intermittently generally during heavy storms. The applicant will provide a drainage study showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance of a grading permit. e) 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. f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the project because the site is currently vacant. Grading will be done in accordance with recommendations presented in the Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Converse Consultants for the site. The impact is not considered significant. f-h) The General Plan indicates the Tujunga-Soboba soil association for the site which has only slight erosion potential and runoff potential is slow to very slow. Soils are suitable for residential development. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

( ) ( ) ( ) (-') h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (-') groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Comments: a) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. The developer will be required to channel the surface runoff from the project to existing storm drains to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant. b) The project site is located within flood hazard Zone X which is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as being outside of the 500-year floodplain. Flood protection is provided by the adjacent detention basin. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. A detention basin is located east of the project site and contains water intermittently. The applicant will prepare a drainage study showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed. A final report will be required prior to issuance of a grading permit. f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

AIR QUALITY. Would the proposah a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (v) ( ) ( ) an existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (v) ( ) ( ) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') Comments: a) This project, at 65,340 gross square feet (gsf), falls beneath the 1,410,000 gsf threshold of significance for apartment construction under SCAQMD guidelines. The 20 acre site also is less than the 177 acres per quarter SCAQMD threshold of significance for grading emissions. Because the South Coast Air Basin is in non- attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM~0) mitigation measures will be used to minimize the project contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants. The criteria pollutants screened for are: reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM~0). Two of these, ROG and NO×, are ozone precursers. The 272 unit proposed project is above the SCAQMD's 261 unit threshold of significance for operational emissions. It therefore requires emissions screening. The proposed project was screened using the URBEMIS7G emissions model. Default values were used where project specific information was unavailable. Though not required, construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1). The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the ITE Trip Generation Manual 6th edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model. In order to reflect the purely residential nature of the proposed project, the default fleet mix was modified to decrease the number of medium to heavy duty diesel trucks and increase the number of light passenger vehicles. Wood stoves and wood burning fireplaces were deleted as inappropriate home heating sources in this region. The project operational emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance (Table 2).

During construction these sensitive receptors will be exposed to exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. Screening shows construction emissions will not exceed daily significant thresholds. The following mitigation measures will further reduce impacts to the nearby residences. 1. The site shall be treated with water a minimum of twice per day, or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. This will result in up to 68 percent of PM~0 emissions during grading. 2. Etiwanda Avenue and Garcia Drive shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. The site access haul road will be watered a minimum of twice daily. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. This will result in approximately three percent reduction of PM~0 emissions. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga tentative Tract Map 16181, CUP 00-47 Page 9 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. Emissions reduction not quantifiable. 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. Vehicle speeds will be restricted to less than 15 miles per hour on unpaved portions of the site. This will reduce PM~0 emissions by 70 percent. 6. 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. This will result in five percent reductions of ROG, NOx, and PM~0 emissions. 7. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 8. 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 the construction of a 272-unit apartment complex including 18 buildings and a recreation/leasing office on 20 acres of vacant land in accordance with the City code. The end use of the proposed project, Medium Residential, will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') Comments: a) According to a traffic generation analysis performed by Kunzman Associates, the proposed subdivision will generate approximately 1,803 weekday vehicle trips, of which 137 are in the AM peak hour and 166 are in the PM peak hour. The traffic generation is below the San Bernardino County Association of Governments (SAN BAG) minimum thresholds to require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The proposed land use is consistent with the goals of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project proponent will be required to construct necessary street improvements and pay traffic impact fees as established by the City Council to off-set the incremental increase in traffic as a result of the project. b-d) Access to the site is provided by a main 50-foot entrance along Etiwanda Avenue. The entrance will allow full access without impeding the through traffic. Secondary access is provided by a 35-foot entrance at the northeast corner of the site off of Garcia Drive. Access for an emergency vehicle is adequate with a maximum 50-foot entrance and minimum 35-foot entrance. e/f) The new facility will not cause a hazard or barrier to pedestrians or cyclists because adequate points of ingress/egress have been provided and there is adequate parking for residents and visitors onsite. No bus turnout has been provided. g) Located approximately seven miles northeast of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

( ) (,") ( ) ( ) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga tentative Tract Map 16181, CUP 00-47 Page 13 Comments: a) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the development would add people and traffic to the area. The impact is not considered significant as the area is planned for residential development. b) The proposed project is a multi-family apartment complex consisting of 272 units, comprised of both single and two story units immediately east of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Garcia Drive, approximately 500 feet north of Foothill Boulevard and 1,290 feet southeast of the 1-15 freeway. Local traffic on these streets contributes to traffic noise at the project site. A traffic noise study was conducted by Advanced Engineering Acoustics to determine compliance with state and local noise standards. Based on the analysis, the current project vicinity traffic does not exceed the City threshold of 65 CNEL along Etiwanda Avenue but does exceed the limit near the southern boundary of the site approximately 500 feet from Foothill Boulevard. According to City traffic information, future year traffic will significantly increase on Etiwanda and the 1-15 Freeway, while Foothill Boulevard traffic will remain essentially the same. Predicted future traffic noise will exceed City noise threshold for extedor and interior units along Etiwanda Avenue and for units nearest Foothill Boulevard. Exterior noise levels can be reduced to 65 CNEL by pJacing a six-foot high solid property line wall along Etiwanda Avenue (except along the project entrance). An eight-foot high sound wall is recommended along Foothill Boulevard. Interior noise levels for single-story units along Etiwanda without wall shielding and for second-story windows nearest Etiwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, will be reduced by sound-rated window glazing. Additionally, exterior doors in buildings nearest the roadways that would have a view of either Etiwanda Avenue or Foothill Boulevard without sound walls, will require acoustically rated doors and gasketing of the jamb, head and sill. The remainder of the lots will receive sufficient shielding from intervening apartment buildings and will not require additional noise control measures beyond the standard residential construction details, in order to comply with the interior City CNEL limit'of 45 dBA. No mitigation is required once the recommendations cited in the Noise Study are implemented. These will be made conditions of project approval as project design features.

( ) ( ) ( ) (~) Comments: a-e) Fire Protection - The project site is located immediately east of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Garcia Drive and approximately 500 feet north of Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga, and is served by the Foothill Fire Protection District. The nearest fire station is located on the northeast corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Baseline Road, approximately two miles northwest of the site. The Foothill Fire District is responsible for evaluating the project through the City's Development Review and Growth Management process. The proposed project will include structural fire protection standards contained in the Uniform Fire Code. No additional mitigation is proposed. Police protection - Police Protection for the area is provided under a contract with the County Sheriff's Department. The proposed residential development will include standard security devices such as complex lighting, and locks on all windows and doors. Additional police protection is not required as the addition of a 272-unit apartment complex will not have a substantial increase in area to be patrolled. Schools -The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint High School District serve the project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the school impact fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not considered significant. Parks - Proposed 272-unit apartment complex will not generate a substantial number of new people to the area. The project includes a recreation/open space corridor centrally located within the development. The corridor will include both active and passive recreation opportunities including a community pool/spa, play areas, half-court basketball, volleyball court, barbecue/picnic area and exercise facilities within the reaction building. The open space corridor makes up 40 percent of the net site area. c) Public facilities - The proposed residential development will not significantly increase traffic on adjacent streets. The project proponent will be required to construct necessary street improvements and pay traffic impact fees as established by the City Council to off-set the incremental increase in traffic as a result of the project.

Utility systems installed to service existing development within the area, are adequate and will not require major modifications or alterations. Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler. Waste will be disposed of at the County of San Bemardino Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill. The project will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. Drainage Plans will be included in application submittals in addition to the Final Drainage Report for City Engineer review and approval. Additional mitigation is no! proposed or required.

( ) ( ) ( ) ('") Comments: Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga tentative Tract Map 16181, CUP 00-47 Page 16 a-b) The project site is not within a scenic vista or scenic highway. The proposed project will create a transition from commercial uses near Foothill Boulevard to residential uses north of Foothill and the project site. The proposed buildings fronting Etiwanda Avenue will have enhanced elevations and the building masses include both two and one story elements to articulate the massing. The apartment buildings fronting Garcia Drive will include both single and two story units and will have a setback of 90 feet from the street. The corresponding distance between apartments and single- family residences nearest Garcia Drive will be approximately 175 feet. Single story garages and parking spaces will be located adjacent to Garcia Drive and will have setbacks ranging from a minimum of 15 feet to a maximum of 31 feet. Apartment buildings and garages will not exceed two stories. An eight-foot wall to be located along Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue will continue along Garcia Drive and will provide a buffer for garages and parking spaces. A section of the property near the south property line is six and one-half feet below the elevation of the southwest and southeast corners. This section of the wall will be constructed to retain soil that will be added to this section of the site in order to achieve appropriate grades. As completed, the wall will be a continuos line from the southeast corner to the southwest corner. The proposed project will incorporate design elements including setbacks along street frontages, a substantial setback from single-family residences to the north, and similar building heights with neighboring single-family residences, to ensure that the proposed project is compatible with existing land uses. The project will blend with current and proposed surrounding development. c) The project will create new light and glare as the site is currently vacant. However, the site has been identified as a residential site so new light will not significantly affect sensitive receptors such as other residential development in the area.

(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.) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga tentative Tract Map 16181, CUP 00-47 Page 18 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than C) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) (") 0 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 impacts to biological resources. Due to surrounding development including the 1-15 freeway, Etiwanda Avenue, Foothill Boulevard and residential development, the project site does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species. Existing trees on-site will be removed to allow for the proposed construction. The City has received the necessary fees for removing the trees. b) The Initial Study identified shod-term impacts to air quality with development of the project site. The shod-term impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities. However, the impacts will cease once construction activities are completed. Implementation of mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study will reduce shod-term impacts to less than significant. c) Cumulative effects of residential development in the EIR for the Etiwanda Specific Plan Area were identified in a previous environmental document. Appropriate analysis and mitigation measures were developed prior to the implementation of the Specific Plan. No additional mitigation measures beyond those presented in the specific plan and this Initial Study are required. d) Development of a 272-unit apartment complex would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. However, proposed mitigation measures will reduce impacts to less than significant. Additionally, impacts resulting from air qualify are short-term and will cease once construction activities are completed. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga tentative Tract Map 16181, CUP 00-47 Page 19 A traffic noise study was conducted by Advanced Engineering Acoustics to determine compliance with state and local noise standards. Based on the analysis, future traffic noise will exceed City, FHWA and Caltrans noise thresholds for exterior and interior units along Etiwanda Avenue and units nearest Foothill Boulevard. Exterior noise levels will be reduced to 65 CNEL by placing a six-foot high solid property line wall along Etiwanda Avenue (except for project entrance). An eight- foot high sound wall is recommended along Foothill Boulevard. Interior noise levels for single-story units along Etiwanda without wall shielding and for second-story windows nearest Etiwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, will be reduced by sound-rated window glazing. Additionally, exterior doors in buildings nearest the roadways that would have a view of either Etiwanda Avenue or Foothill Boulevard without sound walls, will require acoustically rated doors and gasketing of the jamb, head and sill. The remainder of the lots will receive sufficient shielding from intervening houses or will not require additional noise control measures beyond the standard housing construction details, in order to comply with the interior City CNEL threshold of 45 dBA. No mitigation is required one the recommendations cited in the Noise Study are implemented. These will be made conditions of project approval as project design features.

A. Recitals. 1. Rancho Cucamonga Land Company filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map 16181 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject tentative tract map request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 11th day of April 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on Apdl 11, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located on the southeast comer of Etiwanda Avenue and Garcia Drive, with a street frontage of approximately 670 feet on Etiwanda Avenue, and an approximate lot depth of 1,300 feet, and is presently vacant; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is being built with single-family residences. The property to the south is vacant, but is planned for commercial development. To the east is a proposed park and a drainage detention basin; and to the west, across Etiwanda Avenue, the property is planned for single-family residential development, and c. The application contemplates a condominium subdivision of one lot for 272 apartments on 20 acres of land within the Medium Residential District, Etiwanda South Oveday District, and Etiwanda Avenue Oveday Distdct of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. TT16181 -RANCHO CUCAMONGALAND COMPANY April11,2001 Page 2 d. The property has a substantial Iow-point in the central portion near the south property line. The proposed grading concept contemplates filling this Iow-point to raise it to a level consistent with the remainder of the property. The proposed fill will require construction of a retaining wall of up to 7.5 feet in height along a portion of the south property line. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public headng and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and f. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the application. b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project, which are listed below as conditions of approval. c. Pursuant to the previsions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. TT16181 -RANCHO CUCAMONGALAND COMPANY Apd111,2001 Page 3 Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-l-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE DRC2001- 00081, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 15 FEET TO 6 FEET AND INCREASE THE WALL HEIGHT UP TO A MAXIMUM 15.5 FEET ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF TENTATIVE TRACT 16181 WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT CODE ALLOWS A MAXIMUM WALL HEIGHT OF 6 FEET IN THE MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (8-14 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE), ETIWANDA SOUTH OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND ETIWANDA AVENUE OVERLAY DISTRICT WITHIN THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ETIWANDA AVENUE AND GARCIA DRIVE -AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 1100-151-01 AND 02. A, Recitals. 1. Rancho Cucamonga Land Company filed an application for the issuance of Variance (DCR2001-00081) as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 11th day of Apdl 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on April 11, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property, located on the southeast comer of Etiwanda Avenue and Garcia Ddve; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is being built with single-family homes. The property to the south is vacant but is planned for commercial development. To the east is a proposed park and a drainage detention basin, and to the west, across Etiwanda Avenue, the property is planned for single-family residential development, and c. The application contemplates the development of 272 apartment units at a density of 13.6 dwelling units per acre, and a recreation/open space corridor is provided as a central spine within the development; and d. The variance request to reduce the minimum side yard setback of 15 feet to 6 feet is needed to allow seven garage structures along the south property line; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VARIANCE (DRC2001-00081) - RANCHO CUCAMONGA LAND COMPANY April 11, 2001 Page 2 e. The Etiwanda Specific Plan requirement for a 15-foot side yard setback is intended to create a proportionally sufficient open space between larger multiple-family projects and single-family residential development; and f. The proposed garage structures are non-habitable structures and provide a good buffer between the proposed apartments and future commercial development; and g. The proposed wall, consisting of a 7.5-fcot retaining wall with an 8-foct freestanding on top (up to a total wall height of 15.5 feet) along the south boundary, is needed to fill and retain a Iow-point at the south central portion of the site and to adequately screen and buffer the proposed development from future commercial development; and h. The property has a substantial Iow-point in the central portion, near the south property line. The proposed grading concept contemplates filling this Iow-point to raise it to a level consistent with the remainder of the property. The proposed fill will require construction of a retaining wall of up to 7.5 feet in height along a portion of the south property line. Because the drastic topography of the site does not equally impact most properties in the same district, the granting of the variance will not set a precedent; and i. Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, but conversely, provide a secudty and pdvacy wall for the future residents of the apartment project. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public headng and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That stdct or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would not result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. d. That the granting of the vadance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. e. That the granting of the vadance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1,2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application Subject to each and every condition set forth below. 1) Variance approval shall expire if building permits are not issued within 5 years from the date of approval. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VARIANCE (DRC2001-00081)-RANCHO CUCAMONGALAND COMPANY Apd111,2001 Page 3 2) The wall shall be constructed with a two-tone color scheme, pattern arrangement to the materials, and decorative pilasters and cap. In addition, climbing vines are required along the south face of the wall. Construction of the wall shall be subject to City Planner review and approval. 3) All applicable Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract Map 16181 and Conditional Use Permit 00-47 shall apply. 5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 11TH DaY Of APRIL 2001. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: Lam/T.

The two buildings incorporate primary building materials, such as tilt-up and sandblasted concrete. Secondary design matedal accents, such as colored panel reveal bands and blue reflective glazed glass, is also proposed. The office elevations feature a well-articulated building surface with vertical and horizontal changes to the building plane, color variation, and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glass accents. The building plane along the north, south, east, and west elevations of Building "A" will feature three horizontal panel reveal bands (painted silver shimmer) and a scored reveal design theme between each building panel. In addition, two vertical parapet elements extending above the roof, along the west elevation facing Hermosa Avenue, are proposed to add relief to the long roofline elevation. Building "B" will also feature horizontal panel reveal bands (painted silver shirnmer) and a scored reveal design theme between each building panel on the north, south, east and west elevations. The loading area for Building "A" will front onto Hermosa Avenue and be screened by an 8-foot screen wall. The screen wall consists of painted tilt-up concrete with horizontal panel reveals to compliment the architectural design of the building. Landscaping will be provided along the rear elevation to soften views from the Deer Creek Regional Trail. The loading area for Building "B" will be along the south area of the building and screened on the east, west, and south by a painted tilt-up concrete wall with horizontal panel reveals to compliment the amhitectural design of the building. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (McNiel, Fong) reviewed the project on February 20, 2001, and recommended approval with conditions (Exhibit "F").
