designed to be attractive and easily maintained. It was felt that the new attractive station
would bring more customer= into the =hopping center. Wffhout [he new painting, the station
easily blends into the deserted portion of the shopping center.
Second, the cleaner and better lit Unocal station provides heightened safety protection
for customers and IocaJ residents.
The Planning Division asserts that the Kragen incident supports a repainting of the
UnocaJ =,'tation to the previous colors. In 1986, Kragen Auto Supply painted their storefront
in a black and white checker board pattern. Upon notice by the Commission, Kragan
repainted their storefront with the original colors. Kragen can be distinguished on three
factors: (1) Kragen is attached to the shopping center; (2) Kragen painted its storefront in a
check board pattern with no safety rationale; and (3) the Kragen incident took place in healthy
economic times with an anchor store present in the shopping center. The Unocal station is
not attached to the shopping center. Unocal painted the entire station in part for customer
and local resident safety reasons. Finally, the Unocal painting took place during distressed
economic times and in a shopping center without an anchor store.
Fudhermore, in reviewing the Unocal S'tation's color scheme, the Design Review
Committee recognized the needs of business' to maintain their buildings in good order and
provide a safe environment for customers.
In summary, UnocaJ's lack of consultation with the City prior to upgrading the Rancho
Cucamonga station by repainting it was 'not an intentional avoidance of City requirements of
design review. Unocal was simply unaware that the city provides prior review of this type of
activity. We appreciate the C~'s subsequerrt provision of documentation regarding the
statutes affecting the Unocal station, and its patience as the application for review was being
prepared. Unocal encourages you to consider the nature of the change, which enhances the
appearance of the shopping center and benefits the operator of the station and Rancho
Cucamonga residents, in your consideration for approval of the repaJnling plan.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions I will be
attending the hearing on January 12, 1994, aJong with representatives of UnocaJ, and will be
happy tO .ac~dress them at that time.

The conduct of the establishment or the granting of the application
would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals, or
welfare.

illegal, improper, or disorderly manner.
The applicant or any other person associated with him as principal
or partner, or in a position or capacity involving partial or total
control over the conduct of the business for which such permit is
sought to be issued, has not been convicted in any court of
competent jurisdiction of any offense involving the presentation,
exhibition, or performance of any obscene show of any kind, or of a
felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude, nor has had any
approval, permit, or license issued in conjunction with the sale of
alcohol or the provision of the entertainment revoked within the
preceding five years.
D. The granting of the application would not create a public nuisance.
E. The normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the
peace and quiet of any surrounding residential neighborhood.

Service Station No. 6977, 9082 Foothill Boulevard
Dear Members of the Commission:
I am writing to you on behalf of my client, Union Oil Company of California (UnocaJ).
This letter is to SuPDlement UnoceJ's application for approvaJ of the repainting of its service
station at the above-referenced location.
the Unocal station was constructed as part of the "Old Gemco" Center. The shopping
center color scheme consisted primarily of off-white stucco, dark brown lumber, and a tan
color. UnocaJ repainted its station irt a two tone grey with a orange stripe and installed canopy
lights,
Unfortunately, when Unocal carried out the repaintflag of the Rancho Cucamonga
station, they were unaware of any requirement for Planning Commiseion Board approval.
Following notification by the City that Unocal should apply for review of the repaintflag, Unocal
and this office began contacts with the City Planning Department to determine the nature of
any non-compliance with the City Code or the Conditions of Approval for the station, and to
begin the process of applying for the review which will be heard before you January 12, 1994.
Unocal asks for your approvaJ of the repaJnting plan for two reasons. First, the
shopplncj center has experienced a lower volume of eoneumor traffic einoe the anchor ~tore
became vacant. Customers must enter into the shopping center parking lot in order to reach
the Unocal station. The UnocaJ dealer repainted the station to coml:gy with Unocal's ne~y
tormulated national standards for service station appearance which accentuates a clean look

Design Review Co~nittee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher, Coleman)
reviewed the proposed color scheme on November 16, 1993. At this meeting,
the applicant stated that the grey tones are the new corporate colors of
Unocal. The Co~nittee stated that they are sympathetic to the needs of
businesses who want to maintain their building in good order. The
Committee also stated that they have to uphold the Commission's policy of
requiring uniformity in the color scheme of an integrated shopping center,
therefore, cannot recommend approval of the change. The Committee
recommended the use of lighter shades or hues of the colors in the center,
if darker shades are a security concern of the applicant. The applicant
did not pursue the Committee's recommendation.
CORreSPONDENCE: This item has been advertised in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all
property owners within 300 feet of the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the original color scheme be
maintained. A Resolution of Denial is included in this report for
Co~[ission's action. If the Commission decides to allow the two tone grey,
staff recommends that the orange stripe be eliminated.

MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 79-01 - UNOCAL - A request
to modify the color scheme for a gas station within the Rancho Town
shopping center, in the Community Commercial District (Subarea 2)
of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 9082 Foothill
Boulevard - APN: 208-101-17 through 20, 49, and 50.
BACKGROUND: The applicant repainted the canopy, the cashier building, the
monument sign and the trash enclosure to a two-tone grey with an orange
stripe. A change to the uniform color scheme of an integrated shopping center
requires a modification to the Conditional Use permit. In response to staff
notice, the applicant submitted the application on September 27, 1993.
ANALYSIS:
Com~ssion Policy: It has been the Commission's policy to require
uniformity in the color scheme for new shopping centers and for the
renovation and repainting of existing centers. To implement this policy,
conditions of approval are imposed that require the site to be developed
and maintained in accordance with the approved plans which include site
plan, elevations, landscape, sign, colors, and materials, etc. In the
past, the Commission has allowed a change in the color scheme for an
entire shopping center, subject to their approval. The Commission also
has allowed the use of a range of darker and lighter shades of the same
colors within a center. The grey tones proposed by Unocal are not
objectionable; however, it is very different from the rest of the center's
brown and beige/tan colors.
In August of 1986, the Commission reviewed a similar case in this shopping
center. Kragen Auto Supply store repainted the fascia of their storefront
to checkerboard white and black colors. At that time, the Commission
informed the representative from Kragen Auto Supply that they would not
support any change in color scheme that is different from the approved
colors of the center. Kragen Auto Supply complied with the Commission's
d[irection by painting the fascia back to the original colors. A copy of
the August 27, 1986, Commission minutes is attached for the Commission's
reference. Besides Kragen Auto Supply, other businesses which repainted
k~ve complied with the City's request to repaint their stores to their
original approved colors. For example: Kentucky Fried Chicken in the
Sunrize Center, Del Taco in the Sycamore center at the northeast corner of
Base Line Road and Archibald Avenue, and Arco gas station on Foothill
Boulevard. ..

else involved. He felt it is illogical to go through that kind of process and
then once everything is completed, someone could make changes in any manner
they pleased.
Contnisstoner McNiel supported this position and stated he saw no advantage for
Mr. Hancock to pursue his request.
Con~nissioner Chittea asked if Mr. Hancock was aware that there were certain
con~nitments in this particular type of center, there was a theme involved, and
that this was not a free standing building on its own separate parcel.
Mr. Hancock replied that he was not aware of this.
Chairman Stout advised that Mr. Hancock could rest assured that the City would
not allow a rival auto parts store to come in and paint their buildings so
that they attract more business than he does because the standards apply to
everyone. He additionally stated that there is a philosophy behind the City's
Sign Ordinance that advertising is not one of the things that signs do; signs
identify things. All the businesses on Foothill coyly with that particular
philosophy other than a couple of historical ones such as Thomas Winery and
what he saw was an attenq)t by this sign to advertise.
Mr. Hancock stated that the violation indicated that he had until August 28th
to comply, and he would not be able to obtain the funds to repaint the
building within that length of tin~.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 79-01 MODIFICATION - UNOCAL - A request to modify
the color scheme for a gas station within the Rancho Towne shopping
center, in the Community Co~nercial District, Subarea 2 of the Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 9082 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 208-
101-17, 18, 19, 20, 49, and 50.
Background:
Unocal gas station is located within the Rancho Towne Center (Old Gemco
Center). The applicant repainted the canopy, the cashier building, the
~nument sign and the trash enclosure to a two tone grey with an orange
stripe. The shopping center materials and color scheme consisted of
off-white stucco, dark brown 1,,mher, tan color split face block and red
tile. A change to the uniform color schema of an integrated shopping
center requires a mx)dification to the Conditional Use Permit.
In August 1986, the Planning Commission reviewed a similar case in this
shopping center. Kragen Auto Supply store repainted ~he fascia of their
storefront to checkerboard white and black colors. At that time, the
Commission informed the representative from Kragen Auto Store that they
would not support any change in color scheme that is different from the
approved colors of the center. Kragen Auto store co0~lied with the
Commission's direction by painting the fascia back to the original
colors. A copy of the Rug~st 27, 1986 Planning Commission minutes is
attached for the Committee's reference.
S~aff (k~ents:
It has been the Co-~ission's policy to require uniformity in the color
scheme for new shopping centers or for the renovation and repainting of
e:~isting centers. The ComauLssion also has allowed for use of subtle
changes such as darker and lighter shades of the same colors. The grey
tones proposed by Unocal are not objectionable~ however, it is very
different from the rest of the center's brown and beige/tan tones.
~erefore, staff recommends that the original color scheme be
maintained. If the Committee decides to allow the two tone grey, staff
reco-~ends that the orange stripe be eliminated because it constitutes a
sign.

the building had been granted by the property owner and was not aware that
approval needed to be 'granted by the City. He further stated that 203 stores
in California had been painted in this theme and this was the first time he
had to appear before a City to gain approval. He asked to leave the signage
as it is and leave the gray background Just over the sign area with the
remainder of the building painted as it was before.
Dan Coleman, Senior Planner, advised that applicant would be required to
submit an application for a modification to the conditions of approval for
Conditional Use Permit 79-0! in order to change the colors, which would
require a public hearing.
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, advised the applicant that he was entitled
to file an application for modification and that the Co~ission would be
acting this evening in an advisory position.
Chairman Stout stated that the Cemtsston had done a tremendous amount of work
in the City on the Design Review process, and it does no good to go through
this process if a year or two later s~one comes in and changes it. Further,
there are a lot of people in the City who built their shopping centers in
conformance with these standards and it is not a matter of this one individual
situation, its a matter of fairness to all these people who have gone to all
this trouble to add extra money for architectural improvements and refinements
to give a pleasing aesthetic overall shopping center building program. He
stated his advise would be that the applicant would be wasting his time to ask
for a change to what he was requesting.
Conz~tssioner Barker stated that projects go through a Design Review process in
this City for some times a number of months with fine tuning before they are
presented to the full Planning Con~nisston. His opinion was that if these
criteria can be changed after this review, the total of that process would be
wasted; we no longer have a design project we have wasted the time and

of the public or the animal. Additionally, the applicant has been in contact
wi~ the State and Federal authorities and is confident that the enclosure
will be approved by them.
The applicant has previously worked at an alligator farm in Buena Park. He
has stated that he is well acquainted with the habits and characteristics of
alligators. Additionally, State and Federal authorities will not consider
issuance of a permit to any individual without a minimum of two years
experience in working with the animal in question. The applicant meets this
criteria.
PERMITS: Because alligators are defined as wild animals, a permit to keep such
an animal is required by both the CDFG and the United Stated Fish and Wildlife
Services (USFW). The permit is required to be obtained prior to possessing the
animal. In this particular instance, the applicant unexpectedly obtained the
alligator. The applicant has begun discussions with the USFW on obtaining the
required permit. USFW has suggested that the applicant process the Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) request prior to submitting the Federal application. If
approved by the City, the applicant will then proceed with the USFW and CDFG
permitting.
FUTURE PLANS: The alligator is approximately 9 years old. In the wild, a 9-year
old alligator would be roughly 6-8 feet in length. Given the same growth rate in
the future, the enclosure should be sufficient for many years. Should the
alligators size increase to a point where the enclosure is no longer sufficient,
the applicant ha: indicated his commitment to provide whatever housing is needed
for the animal.
CORRESP(~DENCE: In addition to the normal advertising requirements, the
applicant has talked to the majority of the residents surrounding the subject
proper~. The applicant has submitted several letters and a petition in support
of his request (see Exhibit "E").
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Co~ission
Conditional Use Permit 93-50 through adoption of the attached Resolution.

I live in the area in which the request was made and I have alot
of concern about the possibility of the alligator getting loose
and putting alot of children in danger. I have two children~ my
so]~ who is now five years old was mauled by our neighbors dog on
Ea:~ter Sunday of last year. The extent of injury he received was
on his face reouiring plastic surgery that remains on going and
will continue for years to come. I realize there is a difference
between a dog and an alligator; it is the point I want to make.
There are not many people who have alligators as their pets, if
a dog could attack and cause serious ln3uries I can imagine what
harm an alligator could do.
Ew~n when the proper precautions are taken situations and emerg-
en,~ies ha en that are beyond a persons control, so why put alot
of children at risk especially knowing the aggressive nature of
alligators then increasing the danger by trying to confine it.
I strongly oppose the request and regret having to disagree with
my neighbor but I do so respectfully.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my concerns with you.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-50 - CASSARO - A request to keep an
alligator within the rear yard area of a single family residence in
the Low Residential designation (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located
at 7721 Arroyo Vista Avenue - APN: 207-424-07.
GENERAL: The keeping of exotic or wild animals may be permitted in residential
zones subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The minimum site area per animal and
maximum n,,mher of such animals is established by the Conditional Use Permit
review.
The applicant has been keeping an alligator within an enclosure located at the
rear corner of his property since 1987. The 4-foot alligator is housed in a
5-foot by 12-foot enclosure. The enclosure contains a small pool (approximately
3 feet, 2 inches by 4 feet, 0 inches) with a pump and filter system to avoid
water stagnation.
ANALYSIS~ As with the keeping of any wild animal, safety of the neighborhood and
of the animal are of great concern. The California Department of Fish and Game
(CDFG) has established minimum standards for the keeping of wild animals (see
Exhibit "F"). To address these standards and concerns about public safety, the
applicant has provided the following:
The foundation of the enclosure is concrete to prevent the alligator from
digging out.
The sides of the enclosure are constructed out of concrete block or wood
frame. The wood frame sides use either 2-inch by 4-inch supports at 16
inches on center covered with 2-inch by 8-inch planks or 4-inch by 4-inch
supports at 24 inches on center covered with 1/2 inch T1-11 plywood. These
smooth surfaces prevent the alligator from climbing up.
The top of the enclosure is covered with fiberglass over wire mesh to prevent
the alligator from climbing out or other animals from climbing in.
The entry into the enclosure is regulated by two gates separated by roughly
16 inches. The gates are separated to prevent the alligator from having
access to fingers which might be slipped through the first gate. Both gates
are locked, including two locks on the outside gate.
In comparing these measures with those standards outlined by the CDFG, there
are some discrepancies. Staff believes, however, that the differences
between the standards and the measures installed .do not sacrifice the safety

City of Rancho Cucamonga
As per the request of the City of Rancho Cucamonga the following is a
composition of my qualifications to keep and handle reptiles of various
species, which in this case applies to one American Alligator.
While always keeping reptiles as pets from childdhood to adulthood, I
have centered on instructional and educational levels as I myself became
better educated on the subject of herpetology.
I have given many amateur talks and lectures on this subject all through
my junior high and high school years in science and biology classes to
my fellow classmates and students.
In early 1975, I was found qualified for employment with the California
Alligator Farm in Buena Park, California, where I had a successful
career through year end of 1977.
During these years of employment I worked on a professional level with
alligators, crocodiles, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes and dozen of
other varieties of reptiles and amphibians. At these times I was
responsible not only for my own safety, but the safety of the other
handlers and keepers as well as the public during group lectures and
demonstrations. During my almost 3 years at the Alligator Farm, there
were no injuries to any of the reptiles, caretakers or myself as a
result of mishandling.
From this line of occupation I have moved on, but still continue my
interest to handle and exhibit reptiles when and where I get the
opportunity to do so. I have a private collection of legal snakes which
I keep for my own personal enjoyment.
Custody of the alligator was given to me unannounced in the Spring of
1987 by an individual who wanted to continue his education up North with
no appropriate facilities for his pet. Through mutual friends, my name
came up in conversation which resulted in my ownership of the alligator.
I felt that in the best interest of the alligator that I accept
responsibility until I determined exactly what to do about the
situation.
I've had the alligator ever since and have become very attached to him.
I've built a proper environment for his health and welfare. I do feel I
have the capabilities to give the alligator the care required to lead a
long and healthy life. Upon approval of my permit, he'll be around for
many otlhers to enjoy as well.
All the residents of Arroyo Vista have been informed of this action and
eagerly hope for your approval.
Respectfully ~ubmitted,

At the meeting on December 14, 1993, the Design Review Co==nittee (Melcher,
McNiel, Coleman) referred the proposed modification to Conditional Use
Permit 91-24 to a full Planning Commission workshop on December 21,
1993. Minutes of this DRC meeting are attached.
However, due to the concerns voiced by the Committee the applicant opted
to go forward with only the Design Review of Buildings 5, 14, 15, and 16
at this time. The remaining issues regarding the modification to the
original Conditional Use Permit will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission at a later date.
Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee was concerned
about the cumulative impact of permitting multiple, higher traffic demand
recreational/commercial uses on a two-lane local industrial street with a
knuckle. However, this concern was related to the proposed Conditional
Use Permit m~dification (i.e., skating rink and theater) which is not
being considered tonight.
D. Planning Commission Workshop:
The full Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on December 21,
and had the following comments:
Building 14
West wall recess shall be 8".
2) East wall recess shall be 12".
3)
4)
1993
Thorny vines shall be planted on the east elevation facing Rochester
Avenue in order to discourage graffiti and break up the elevation.
The tower element parapets currently return to 12 feet. An
additional wing wall shall be placed at right angles to the 12-foot
return to further screen roof mounted equipment, and to ensure that
the element does not appear as a plant on.
Building
1)
The north side of the building should be provided with vine planting
and tall columnar plants adjacent to the doors to enhance the
appearance of the driveway corridor.
2) A 4-inch recess and 12-inch reveal pattern should be provided on the
north side of the building.
Building 13 should be built concurrently with or before Building
15. If this is not feasible, then the pad area for Building 13
should be seeded and planted with trees and shrubs in order to screen
the back side of Building 15 from Foothill.Boulevard.

DESIGN REVIEW 93-19 - MASI - The review of Buildings 5, 14, 15, and
16 of an approved Conditional Use Permit 91-24, located on 27 acres
of land at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester
Avenue, in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan - APN: 229-01~-10, ~9, 21, 26, 27,
and 28.
PRO~ECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
.Action Request by Applicant: Approval of the design review for Building 5
(Old Spaghetti Factory) and approval of revised Buildings 14, 15, and 16
and the related site plan modification.
Site Characteristics: The site is approximately 27 acres in size and
slopes approximately 2 percent from north to south. Building 5 is an
existing warehouse leftover from the winery operation.
C. Parking Calculations:
See Exhibit "B."
ANALYSIS:
General: The original Conditional Use Permit 91-24 was approved by the
City Council on September 2, 1992. The originally approved site plan is
illustrated in Exhibit "A". The 32 originally approved buildings were
designed as a mix of restaurant, industrial and multi-tenant buildings.
The applicant originally submitted a modification to Conditional Use
Permit 91-24 which included: review of a proposed ice/roller rink
(Building 21); review of a proposed theater for Building 11; review of
proposed architecture for Building 5; and review of revised site plan and
architecture for Buildings 14-18.
B. Design Review Committee:
The above described modification was reviewed by the Technical Review
Co~ittee on December 5, 1993 and by the Design Review Committee on
December 14, 1993. Extensive comments were voiced by these two
Committees, particularly concerning the potential parking and traffic
impacts generated by the theater, ice/roller rink and related site plan
and architectural issues. ..
IT~ E
PA17~G CALCULATIONS
The northern portion of the project site east of Masi Drive, which is
essentially the same as the original proposal, has been considered
separately for the purpose of calculating required parking. Bu/ld/ng 5
((~d S~m~metti Factory) fall; wt~_ht. the ~orthern portio~ of the site.
Because of the extensive amount of restaurant use in the northern half
of the site and the potential for conditionally permitted retail and
q~Lasi-retail uses, the parking has been calculated utilizing the more
stringent scenario under the shopping center parking ratio of 5 spaces
per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area:

Building
1) Greater depth should be provided for the return of the tower element.
Planters on the north side of the building should remain in place,
provided with landscaping and irrigation to mitigate the appearance
of the driveway corridor.
The reveal treatment on the north side of the building should be 8
inches in depth.
It was the concensus of the Commission to approve Buildings 14, 15, and 16
subject to the conditions described above.
Building 5 (Old Spaghetti Factory)
1) Parking spaces should be deleted in front of the loading area to
provide unrestricted access for delivery trucks.
2)
The west side of Building 5 should be treated in a unique fashion
since the building is unlike any other on the site. A revised design
should be presented at the Planning Commission meeting to indicate
how this elevation will be treated architecturally.
3)
The entry road treatment from Foothill Boulevard is unacceptable. A
special landscape and hardscape treatment should be provided which
will diminish the alley-like appearance. The landscape treatment on
the east side next to Building 5 should reflect the unique character
of the building, and may be completely different than the landscape
on the other side of the entry drive.
4) Trucks using the driveway area may conflict with vehicular traffic
south of Building 5. This area should be reconsidered.
Staff also noted that the freestanding tower sign did not conform to the
City Sign Ordinance's 8-foot height limit.
The applicant has requested a final action tonight regarding all four
buildings.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of
the General Plan, the Industrial Area Specific Plan and the purposes of the
district in which the site is located. The proposed project is in compliance
with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the
Industrial Area Specific Plan. The proposed project, together with the
conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.

MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-24 - MASI - A request to
modify an approved industrial master plan on 27 acres of land located at
the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, in the
Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific
Plan in the following manner:
Review of a proposed ice/roller skating rink (Building 21) of
53,070 square feet and the associated parking study;
Review of proposed architecture of Building 5 (Old Spaghetti
Factory);
3. Review of revised site plan and architecture for Buildings 14-18;
4. Review of revised architecture and a theater use for Building 11.
APN: 229-011-10, 19, 21, 26, 27, and 28.
Back ground:
Conditional Use Permit 91-24 was approved by the City Council on
September 2, 1992. The approved site plan is illustrated in Exhibit
"A.# The 32 originally approved buildings were designed as a mix of
restauraut, industrial and multi-tenant buildings. The areas being
considered in this modification are essentially the southern half of the
project site as well as Building 5 which is locatdd on Foothill
Boulevard.
An "Automotive Service Court" was approved for ~he northwest portion of
the site and will remain unchanged exce~ fo= minor alterations which
have been approved administratively. An Industrial Area Specific Plan
was approved with the original Conditional Use Permit which permitted
the Automotive Service Court as well as a specified amount of "specialty
building supplies and home i~rovement~.' The applicant has also
submitted an Industrial S~ecific Plan Amendment and General Plan
Amendment to allow additional commercial/retail uses on the site. This
application is ~oncurrently being reviewed by staff.
Building 21 iS located in ~he southwest ~orner of t.he site.
Previously Buildings 26, 27, and 28 occupied ~his portion of the
project site. The combination ice/roller arena occupies
53,070 square feet overall. The roller rink occupies 14,400 square
feet, the ice rink occupies 17,000 ~quare feet with the pro-shop
occupying 1,000 square feet and the re~aining space being utilized
by a snack bar, office space, spectator seating, locker rcome, and
equipment rentals.

The west elevation of the building which faces an entryway into the
project appears blank and could be provided with more movement in
the building plane. It would be difficult to provide windows,
other than clef.story, since this side of the building is the
kitchen area.
~VISXON8 ~ B~ILDINGS 14-18
Buildings 14-18 have been modified m~inly in shape and square
footage. Note that on the original site plan, Buildings 21, 24,
25, 15 and 16 have been deleted. Original B~ilding 14 has been
reconfigured in size (proposed Building 15); Buildings 18 and 19
have been combined (proposed Building 16); Building 13 (proposed
Building 14) has been increased in size and relocated closer to
Rochester Avenue. (An acetate overlay will be provided at the
meeting which will clearly demonstrate the shaft in building
locations.)
2o
The following specific architectural modifications have also been
proposed.
Building 14 (original Building 13)
Additional stone should be added to all elevations. ~he westerly
elevation is an improvement over the original. The east elevation,
which faces Rochester Avenue, however, needs to be provided with
additional detailing or movement in the b~ilding plane.
Building 15
The architecture of Bu/lding 15 has been revised cormiderably since
the initial meetings wi~h the &p~licant and is co~patible with the
rest of ~he site. Parking has been added directly south of the
bullSing.
Bu~.lding 16
The architenure of Building 16 has also b~en revised considerably
since the initial meetings with the ap~licant and is compatible
with the rest of the site.
The blank areas on the south elevation are designed to be knock-out
panels, so t_hat future tenants who require glass areas can be
accommodated. The east elevation now has an open plaza aras
adjacent to it. This ar~a ac~s as a link to the plaza between
Buildings 11 end 12.

The Co-~ittee (McNiel, Melcher, Coleman) did not approve the project and
referred it =o a Planning Co-~isison workshop on December 21, 1993 at
6:00 p.m. The following comments were made:
50
Additional architectural treatment or a trellis system with vines
should be provided on the west side of Building 5 (Old Spaghetti
Factory ) ·
The parapets for Building 17 and 18 in particular should be
reviewed to ensure that any roof mounted equipment is not visible
from stands in the Sports complex.
Tower elements on sides of buildings should have returns and extend
around each corner, otherwise they appear as a plant-on.
The proximity of the parking for the ice/roller rink in relation to
the entry should be reexamined.
The proximity of available parking for the theater should be
evaluated.
The entire nature of the project is becoming retail and the
necessity for a ~lic street should be reavelusted.
The service drive between Buildings 13 and 15 is not desirable.
The parking study for the ice/roller rink should be evaluated by
'staff and a rec~endetion made before revisions to the proposed
architecture are considered.
The larger issue with this modification involves the proposed
redesignetlon from Indu~trial Park to Coemercial. This request
should be considered in relation to the amount of existing
commercially zoned land in the City and the other plan amendments
which have been filed (165 acres proposed by General Dynamics;
24 acres at the northeast corner of Spruce and Foothill Boulevard,
and 11.8 acres at Baseline Road and 1-15.

Parking for the ice/roller rink does not currently meet ~he
Development Code requirement of 1 space per 100 square feet of
gross floor area. Since the initial discussions with the applicant
regarding the possibility of such a facility on their site, staff
conducted a survey of other jurisdictions with similar facilities
and found our current standards to be quite restrictive. The
applicant has s~bmitted a parking analysis with their ice rink
proposal which is intended to justify a reduction in required
parking. This is currently under review by staff.
The architecture of the rink consists of white stucco over an
insulated metal panel system with ban4s of green horizontal accent
stripes. Staff is concerned with the blank south si~e of the
building which will face the Sports Complex.
4e
The north elevation of the building consists of a curved glazed
entry and awnings. The materials and color of the proposed
building relate well to the approved project. The building is boxy
in nature due to its function, however, the north elevation is well
punctuated by berms, shrubs and trees which break up the long
linear form of the building.
50
A drop-off area has been provided adjacent to the entry of the
building which should alleviate traffic congestion problems on
"A" Street.
C~D b~)Jl~!E'Z"~ ~ (Bu'r_T~I~G S)
Building 5 is currently occupied by the Victory Chapel and was at
one time the Masi Winery. Any potential historic and/or
architectural significance for this building has yet to be
determined. Staff ~oes not believe ~hat the proposed modification
to Building 5 will alter ~he building in a significant way.
The Old Spaghetti Factory Restaurant is proposing to ada additional
square footage, creating a 13,000 square foot restaurant. The
existing covered porch facing Foothill Boulevard will remain.
The La Fourcad. arch which was originally a part of the La Fourcad.
store and Cowgirl Theater has been incorporated into the restaurant
entry, which was a Condition of approval on the' original
Conditional Use Permit.
Heavy timber trellises have been incorporated on the south and east
elevations which are suitable to suppor~ the growth of vines.

Building 17 (Original Building 20)
The revisions to the building are acceptable. However, the
location of person-doors on the south side of the building could be
considered a security risk since this area is fairly isolated.
Building 18
The architecture of Building 18 has been revised to be compatible
with the remainder of the project.
The south side of =he building, which backs onto the Sports
Complex, is quite blank and should be upgraded or screened with
plant material. Screening with plant material would have to be
located on Sports Complex property since the building is located on
the property line.
Two alternatives are being presented for Buildings 11 and 23. The first
alternative presented is for a movie theater to occupy Building 11, with
the remaining portion of the Building (Building 23) to be leased for
other purposes. The second alternative would leave the entire building
as one undivided space.
It should be noted on the site plan =hat if =he theater use is
implemented then Building 16 will be deleted from the project in order
to provide area for required parking. If ~he space will not be utilized
by a theater, then Building 16 will remain.
The south elevation of the theater building is fairly blank except for
the main entry area. This elevation could be upgraded with vine pockets
and trellises, additional s~one or with some other type of architectural
detailing.
