This item was continued from May 8, 2024. At the property owner’s request, the public hearing for this item will not be conducted and no further action will be taken on the application.

General Business Page 4 HPC/PC MINUTES – July 24, 2024 Page 2 of 3 Draft 2 8 3 1 E1. Presentation from Empire Economics Inc. on the City’s Annual Employment and Housing Trends Study and Analysis of the Economic Impacts of Brightline West High-Speed Rail and Potential for Nearby Development Opportunities. This item is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore exempt from CEQA review. Dr. Joe Janczyk with Empire Economics presented a PowerPoint presentation (copy of file). He presented the annual employment and housing trends study and analysis of the economic impacts of Brightline West High- Speed Rail and the potential for nearby development opportunities. Commissioner Dopp asked if he can elaborate on what we can expect to see, other than restaurants, that would make development a success. Dr. Janczyk provided an example such as Portland Airport is set up to accommodate people as part of the experience of coming into the City of Portland including the ability to watch short movies and he believes the station can do the same to reflect the cultural attraction of the city. Commissioner Dopp asked if he is seeing Economic and Commercial Trends for these projects across Southern California that are success or failures, regarding commercial mixed use and how they are performing. Dr. Janczyk answered he observed when it’s mixed-use and they own both commercial and residential, it’s difficult because if they want to move and have their business there, it may not be easy. He said if it is in a city core area, it is much more viable. Vice Chairman Boling expressed how much he appreciated the report, and he said in order to plan accordingly for new hotels and expansions, he hopes this report is shared with the City’s consulting team as it pertains to perspective hotels. Deputy Director of Planning Nakamura confirmed. Commissioner Diaz expressed that she enjoyed reading the report and it was easy to read. Chairman Morales asked if we wanted to have travelers use our businesses and major corridors, possibly have a system to transport from the train station to Foothill and Haven or is it better to have those types of business located at the station. Dr. Janczyk answered the thought process was as Brightline starts to ramp up, a system like free trollies to take them to different points of interest within the city and then based upon the patterns they exhibit, that would be a leading indicator what types of developments to put there. He said although these developments will not materialize for quite some time, the city does have properties nearby so this can be accommodated. Chairman Morales mentioned the decline was in warehouses and asked how it relates to San Bernardino County. Dr. Janczyk answered the city is strong and in a good location than areas to the east and southeast. Commissioner Diaz asked how people are going to work and afford to live here with the job growth that we are seeing. Dr. Janczyk replied that it will take two working people living together. With no other comments, Commission received and filed report. Page 5 HPC/PC MINUTES – July 24, 2024 Page 3 of 3 Draft 2 8 3 1 F. Director Announcements – None G. Commission Announcements - None H.

This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Sections 15303, which covers the construction of a limited number of structures in an urbanized area, and Section 15305, which covers minor alterations in land use limitations (Minor Design Review DRC2023-00259 and Variance DRC2023-00244). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt resolutions approving Minor Design Review DRC2023-00259 and Variance DRC2023-00244 to develop a single-family residence at the southeast corner of 19th Street and Amethyst Avenue, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. BACKGROUND PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION: The nonconforming undeveloped 4,738-square-foot site is located at the southeast corner of 19th Street and Amethyst Avenue adjacent to an existing single-family residence. The approximate dimensions of the site are 122 feet from north to south and 40 feet from east to west. Notably, the required minimum lot dimensions as of today are 70 feet by 100 feet. Thus, the subject lot is deficient in meeting current lot dimension standards and has been determined to be legal non-conforming. The current Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Undeveloped Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) North Commercial Building MU Neighborhood Corridor Neighborhood General 3 (NG3) South Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) East Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) West Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) Page 7 Page 2 2 4 5 6 ANALYSIS: Project Overview: The project is for the development of a two-story 2,349-square-foot single-family residence on a 4,738- square-foot parcel of land. Per Development Code Section 17.16.130 (Minor Design Review) new single- family residences require the approval of a Minor Design Review and Planning and Economic Director approval. Per Development Code Section 17.20 (Planning Commission Decisions), the approving authority for Variances is the Planning Commission, necessitating that both entitlements be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Minor Design Review applications do not require Design Review Committee review. The project site is within a Low Residential (L) Zone which, per Development Code Table 17.36.010-1A (Development Standards for Residential Zones), requires a minimum 35-foot steetcape setback. Due to the narrowness of the nonconforming lot (40 feet), the applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required streetscape setback by 14 feet for a proposed total streetscape setback of 21 feet. Per Development Code Table 17.36.010-1A (Development Standards for Residential Zones) the minimum required lot dimensions in the Low (L) Zone are 70 feet (wide) by 100 feet (deep). Design: The project is designed to conform to the Development Code except for the streetscape setback. The proposed building has a Spanish design theme that includes the use of stucco siding, precast window, and door treatments, and a concrete tile roof. A covered patio is included over the garage to provide outdoor space. Page 8 Page 3 2 4 5 6 Compliance with Development Standards: As shown in the following table, the project was designed in compliance with the Development Code for the Low Residential (L) Zone except for the corner lot width for which a Variance has been submitted: Development Standard Required Proposed Complies Lot Coverage 40 Percent 37 Percent Yes Setback – Amethyst Ave.35’21’Yes* Setback – 19th Street 32’ – 37’ 35’– 7”Yes Setback – Interior 5’5’Yes Rear Yard 20’ 25”Yes Building Height 35’25’Yes *With Approval of Variance DRC2023-00244 Variance: A Variance (DRC2023-00244) is being requested for a 14-foot reduction in the required 35-foot streetscape setback. Amethyst Avenue is a classified as a collector street. Table 17.36.010-3 (Residential Streetscape Setback Standards) requires that single-family residences have a 35-foot street setback on collector streets. The deviation from the related technical requirements is justified based on the narrowness of the existing lot (40 feet wide), which is significantly below the required 70-foot corner lot width in the Low Residential (L) Zone. Without the reduction in the streetscape setback, the width of the lot would preclude constructing a single-family residence in a reasonable manner on the site. Page 9 Page 4 2 4 5 6 Environmental Determination: Planning and Economic Development Department Staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as Class 3 and Class 5 exemptions under State CEQA Guidelines. Section 15303 covers the construction and location of up to 4 residential units in an urbanized area. Section 15305 covers minor alterations in land use limitations The project is for the development of a 2,349 square-foot single- family residence on an existing lot along with a request for a Variance related to a request to reduce the required streetscape setback. The Planning and Economic Development Director has reviewed staff's determination of exemption, and based on their own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. Public Art: Per Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code, residential projects with a density equal to or less than four dwelling units per acre are exempt from the public art requirement. Correspondence: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on July 29, 2024, the property was posted on July 31, 2024, and notices were mailed to owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on July 30, 2024. To date, staff has not received any comments related to the project to date. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: The project supports several City Council core values by providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all. The proposed single-family will provide a new housing opportunity on an existing lot served by existing infrastructure.

A.Recitals. 1.Pete Volbeda filed an application for the issuance of Variance DRC2023-00244 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 14th day of August 2024, 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 August 14, 2024, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a.The application applies to an undeveloped property located at the southeast corner of Amethyst Avenue and 19th Street with a street frontage of 40 feet and lot depth of 122 feet; and b. The current Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: c.The applicant submitted a proposal to build a single-family residence on the site which necessitated a Variance for a reduced streetscape setback. The required streetscape setback is 35 feet, Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Undeveloped Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) North Commercial Building MU Neighborhood Corridor Neighborhood General 3 (NG3) South Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) East Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) West Single-Family Residence Suburban Neighborhood Very Low Low Residential (L) Exhibit D Page 28 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2024-024 VARIANCE DRC2023-00244 – PETE VOLEBEDA August 14, 2024 Page 2 with the applicant requesting a 14-foot reduction to 21 feet; and d. The minimum corner lot within the Low Residential District is 70 feet. The subject lot is 40 feet wide and has been determined to be legal non-conforming; and e. Per Development Code Section 17.16.130 (Minor Design Review) new single-family residences require the approval of a Minor Design Review and Planning and Economic Director approval. Per Development Code Section 17.20 (Planning Commission Decisions), the approving authority for Variances is the Planning Commission, necessitating that both entitlements be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Minor Design Review applications do not require Design Review Committee review. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. Without a reduction in the required streetscape setback, the site would have to be developed with a house that is much narrower than the preponderant house width in the surrounding area or within the Low Residential (L) District. b. 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. The Development Code requires corner lots in the Low Residential District to have a minimum lot width of 70 feet. The existing legal non-conforming lot is 40 feet wide, which is much narrower than the lots in the surrounding area. c. 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. Without the reduction in the streetscape setback requirement, the applicant would not be able to construct a single-family residence on the lot. d. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. The proposed reduction in the streetscape setback will allow the applicant to develop a house with a width no greater than the other lots in the surrounding area or within the Low Residential (L) Zone. e. The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed single-family residence will not be out of character with the other residences in the surrounding area and will meet all related Development Code requirements, except for the streetscape setback requirement.

BACKGROUND: The 0.83-acre lot is located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue. The lot is currently vacant and slopes from north to south with dimensions of approximately 93 feet (east to west) and 150 feet (north to south). The site is surrounded by existing single-family and multifamily residential development. Properties to the north are currently vacant but zoned for multi-family development. There is an existing bus stop in front of the project site and an existing bike lane along Arrow Route. Public improvements including street, curb, and gutter exist along Arrow Route and partially along Madrone Avenue. As a contextual note, staff is currently processing a separate multi-family residential development application for 18 units to the north of the subject project. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: DATE:August 14, 2024 TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM:Matt Marquez, Planning and Economic Development Director INITIATED BY:Bond Mendez, CPD, Associate Planner SUBJECT:TENTATIVE TRACT MAP, DESIGN REVIEW, & MINOR EXCEPTION – ARROW 6- LOT SUBDIVISION - A request to subdivide an existing 0.83-acre lot into six numbered lots, one lettered lot, and one dedication lot, and to construct six new single- family dwelling units within the Suburban Neighborhood Low General Plan designation and Medium Residential (M) Zone, located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue - APN: 0207-262-05.

The lettered lot (Lot A, 3,599 square feet) will be used as a private driveway that will provide a street connection from Arrow Route to single-family lots 4 - 6. The lettered lot will be maintained by the private owners of the residential lots. Lots 1 – 3 will face, and be accessed from, Madrone Avenue. The dedication lot is currently under private ownership but will be dedicated to the City and used for public improvements. The project complies with each of the development standards for the Medium (M) Residential Zone as shown in the following table: Page 32 3 2 4 6 6 Table 1 - Development Standards Required Proposed Compliant Density 8 -14 Units Per Acre 8 DUA Yes Lot Size 4,000 Minimum 4,037 – 5,081 SF 4,674 SF Average Yes Lot Width 40 Feet Minimum, 50 Feet corner lot 45 Feet, 57 Feet corner lot Yes Lot Depth 80 Feet Minimum 88 Feet Yes Lot Coverage 50 Percent 26 to 48 Percent Yes Front Setback**27 feet 24’-3” ** and 27 Feet Yes ** Corner Side Yard Setback, Street Frontage Setback** 17 Feet, 45 Feet ** 40’-8” **Yes ** Interior Side Yard Setbacks 5/5 Feet 5/5 Yes Rear Yard Setback 15 feet 15 Feet Yes Building Height 35 feet 27 Feet Yes **Note: Setback deviations requested with Minor Exception Design and Layout: The project includes the Design Review for construction of single-family residential units on the 6 proposed lots. Development Code Table 17.122.010-1 requires that projects with 5-10 units provide a minimum of 2 distinct floor plans and 2 distinct, architecturally varied elevations. The project provides three (3) distinct floor plans with two (2) different elevations. Development Code Section 17.122.010.A.1 requires that projects consisting of 4 or more units include a minimum of 25 percent single-story plans. The project includes 2 single-story floor plans (33 percent). The single-family lots range in size from 4,037 – 5,081 square feet and the dwelling units range in size from 1,902 – 2,551 square feet and include a mixture of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom floor plans. Plan #1 (lots 1 and 6) is a two-story dwelling with 1,996 square feet of living area and a 498 square foot 2-car garage. Plan #2 (lots 2 and 5) is two-story dwelling with 2,551 square feet of living area and a 419 square foot 2-car garage. Plan #3 (lots 3 and 4) is a one-story dwelling with 1,902 square feet of living area and a 441 square foot 2-car garage. The 2 single-story units are located directly adjacent to the existing single-family residential property to the south with the remaining 4 two-story units located at the north end of the project area. Architecture: The proposed single-family dwellings will have a modern architectural style including concrete tile roofing, exterior siding finishes of stucco, horizontal lap siding panels, stone veneer, and projections including metal awnings and wood trellises. Though all unit types include the same materials, each unit type has a unique color scheme, varying forms, façade breaks, and building heights to avoid a repetitive design. Lots 1, 2, 5, and 6 will have the two-story floor plans and lots 3 and 4 will have the single-story floor plans. Lots 1-3 have their reverse floor plans for lots 4-6. For added variety, the project is conditioned to have contrasting color schemes for each floor plan to avoid repetition. Minor Exception: The project is consistent with the development requirements for the Medium Residential (M) Zone except that the applicant is requesting that 3 lots be allowed to deviate from setback requirements through a Minor Exception. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.16.110 the purpose of the minor exception identifies that exceptions may be needed to allow creative design solutions and to accommodate unique site conditions. Exceptions do not apply to land uses and are not Page 33 4 2 4 6 6 intended to waive a specific prohibition or procedural requirement. The minor exception allows for a maximum 10% reduction to a minimum setback. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to permit lots 1 and 6 to be substandard to the zone requirement for the street setback from the Arrow Route frontage as the Development Code applies special streetscape setbacks to properties along specific street classifications. Arrow Route is classified as an Arterial Roadway within the General Plan which requires a 45-foot building setback for detached single-family developments within the Medium Residential (M) zone per Table 17.36.010-3. Therefore, the total minimum front setback is required to be 45 feet from the face of the curb to the proposed buildings. The 10% reduction would allow the buildings on lots 1 and 6 to be setback at least 40’-6”. Due to site constraints, the applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to permit a 40’-8” setback along the Arrow Route frontage for these two lots. All proposed setback deviations are within the range allowed by the Minor Exception. Similarly, Lot 4 is substandard to the zone requirement for the front setback. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.36.010, the front setback requirement for Lot 4 is 27 feet. The 10% reduction would require the building to be setback at least 24’-3”. Due to site constraints, this subject Minor Exception is also requested by the applicant to permit a proposed setback of 24’-3” for the front setback from the property line to the dwelling unit on lot 4. Landscape: Landscaping is distributed along the project’s Arrow Route frontage, along the east property line between the project and adjacent single-family residence, and within the front yards of each single- family lot. The project also proposes a new CMU wall along the south and east property lines between the existing single-family residential properties. The walls are conditioned to have a decorative finish such as either split-face or slump stone. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting on May 7, 2024 at Los Amigos Park. The intent of the meeting was to invite property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project boundaries for input related to the project. Approximately four (4) neighbors attended the meeting. The applicant provided colored display boards for viewing which included the project site plan, project landscape plan, house floorplans and elevations. The meeting ran for approximately 55 minutes and attendees asked questions about the proposed project. Amongst the attendees, there was no direct opposition or negative comments regarding the project. Overall, all attendees were complementary about the project design and homes. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved as presented by the Design Review Committee (Boling and Daniels) on July 2, 2024. The DRC meeting minutes are attached to this report, see Exhibit B. Staff presented an overview of the project and the Committee discussed the location of washers and dryers within the units, and the intent of two-story designs along Arrow Route. The Committee also discussed including conditions of approval to prohibit new walls or fencing from blocking the viewshed corridor along Arrow Route, and to require maintenance of the shared private driveway. Subsequently the Committee recommended the project move forward for full Planning Commission review. Public Art: Pursuant to the Development Code Chapter 17.124 – Design Provisions for Public Art, the project is subject to the City’s public art ordinance and will be required to provide public art on the project site with a minimum value of $750 per residential unit developed which results in $4,500; or pay an in- lieu fee to the City’s public art fund equal to the minimum value of art that would otherwise be included in the development project. A condition has been included pursuant to the Development Code that requires the public art requirement to be met prior to the first residential unit occupancy. Page 34 5 2 4 6 6 CEQA DETERMINATION: The Planning and Economic Development Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Suburban Neighborhood Low and Medium Zone, respectively, which permits the development of a detached single-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption. a) Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (LSA Associates, Inc., June 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate 57 total daily trips including 4 AM peak hour trips and 6 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to generate 50 or more trips during the AM or PM peak hour and does not require a detailed LOS analysis. Additionally, the proposed Project is not expected to exceed the City’s daily trip threshold of 250 daily trips and will not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project is expected to have a less than significant impact and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. b) Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. c) Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2023), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. d) Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2024). Page 35 6 2 4 6 6 COUNCIL MISSION, VISION, VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: The project supports several City Council core values by providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all. The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Suburban Neighborhood Low, and the zoning designation for the subject property is Medium (M) Residential zone. The proposed subdivision will create 6 single-family residential lots with new homes consistent with the underlying land use designations and compatible in size and configuration with the residential development in the surrounding area. These units will add to our existing housing stock and contribute to the city’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) allocation of planning for 10,525 new housing units issued by the State of California.

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP, DESIGN REVIEW AND MINOR EXCEPTION – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION - A request to subdivide an existing 0.83-acre lot into six numbered lots, one lettered lot, and one dedication lot, and to construct six new single-family dwelling units within the Suburban Neighborhood Low General Plan designation and Medium Residential (M) Zone, located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue - APN: 0207-262-05. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15332 (SUBTT20616, Design Review DRC2023-00111). Staff presented the item to the Design Review Committee. The DRC was complimentary of the project design overall but requested clarification on a few items. Committee member Boling asked for clarification on the washer and dryer location for one of the unit types. The applicant responded that the washer and dryer were placed as they are in order to optimize the square footage of each unit. Committee member Boling also requested that the development standards compliance table include the lot width and depth information, which staff responded will be clarified in the Planning Commission staff report. Committee member Daniels asked for clarification on the intent of placing the two-story units at the street fronting lots instead of the single-story units. Staff clarified that the two-story design is in keeping with the surrounding development patterns and the placement of the units intends to transition better between the adjacent single-story properties which exist to the south of the proposed project. Regarding fencing and walls, both committee members agreed that there should be a condition of approval to prohibit new walls or fencing from blocking the viewshed corridor along Arrow Route. They both also agreed that the project include a condition of approval requiring maintenance of the private shared driveway. Exhibit C Page 57 The Design Review Committee voted to move the project forward to the Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval. The Committee took the following action: Recommend approval to PC. 2-0 Vote. E. Adjournment Principal Planner Sean McPherson adjourned the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Page 58 DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS July 2, 2024 6:00 p.m. Bond Mendez, Associate Planner TENTATIVE TRACT MAP, DESIGN REVIEW AND MINOR EXCEPTION – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION - A request to subdivide an existing 0.83-acre lot into six numbered lots, one lettered lot, and one dedication lot, and to construct six new single-family dwelling units within the Suburban Neighborhood Low General Plan designation and Medium Residential (M) Zone, located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue - APN: 0207-262-05. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15332 (SUBTT20616, Design Review DRC2023-00111). Site Characteristics and Background: The 0.83-acre lot is located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue. The lot is currently vacant and slopes from north to south with dimensions of approximately 93 feet (east to west) and 150 feet (north to south). The site is surrounded by existing single-family and multifamily residential development. Properties to the north are currently vacant but zoned for multi-family development. There is an existing bus stop in front of the project site and an existing bike lane along Arrow Route. As a contextual note, staff is currently processing a separate multi-family residential development application for 18 units to the north of the subject project. The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential North Vacant and Single- Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential South Single-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential East Single-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential West Multi-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential Project Overview and Site Planning: The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing 0.83-acre lot into six numbered lots, one lettered lot, and one dedication lot, and to construct six new single- family dwelling units. The six numbered lots will be improved with the proposed 6 residences, the lettered lot will be used as a private driveway for access to 3 of the units from Arrow Route, and the dedicated lot is currently under private ownership but will be dedicated to the City and used for public improvements. The remaining 3 units will have direct access from Madrone Avenue. The numbered lots range in size from 4,037 – 5,081 square feet and the dwelling units range in size from 1,902 – 2,551 square feet and include a mixture of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom floor plans. The six dwelling units include four (4) two-story dwellings and two (2) single-story dwellings. The 2 single-story units are located directly adjacent to the existing single-family residential Page 59 DRC COMMENTS SUBTTM 20616, DESIGN REVIEW, MINOR EXCEPTION – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION July 2, 2024 Page 2OMMENTS property to the south with the remaining 4 two-story units located at the north end of the project area. Figure 1: Site Plan Development Standards: The project complies with all pertinent standards for detached single- family development in the Medium Residential (M) zone as demonstrated in the following table, and see the development standard description for the proposed deviations: Page 60 DRC COMMENTS SUBTTM 20616, DESIGN REVIEW, MINOR EXCEPTION – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION July 2, 2024 Page 3OMMENTS **Note: Setback deviations requested with Minor Exception The project is consistent with the development requirements for the Medium Residential (M) Zone except that the applicant is requesting that 3 lots be allowed to deviate from setback requirements through a Minor Exception: Lots 1 and 6 are substandard to the zone requirement for the street setback from the Arrow Route frontage. The Development Code applies special streetscape setbacks to properties along specific street classifications. Arrow Route is classified as an Arterial Roadway within the General Plan which requires a 45-foot building setback for detached single- family developments within the Medium Residential (M) zone per Table 17.36.010-3. Therefore, the total minimum front setback is 45 feet from the face of the curb to the proposed buildings. Due to site constraints, the applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to permit a 40’-8” setback along the Arrow Route frontage for these two lots. All proposed setback deviations are within the range allowed by the Minor Exception. Similarly, Lot 4 is substandard to the zone requirement for the front setback. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.36.010, the front setback requirement for Lot 4 is 27 feet. Due to site constraints, a Minor Exception is requested by the applicant to permit a proposed setback of 24’-3” for the front setback from the property line to the dwelling unit. Landscape: Landscaping is distributed along the project’s Arrow Route frontage, along the east property line between the project and adjacent single-family residence, and within the front yards of each single-family lot. The project also proposes a new CMU wall along the south and east property lines between the existing single-family residential properties. Architecture: The proposed single-family dwellings will have a modern architectural style including concrete tile roofing, exterior siding finishes of stucco, horizontal lap siding panels, stone veneer, and projections including metal awnings and wood trellises. The 6 residences will include 3 different unit types. Each unit type will be located on no more than 2 lots to provide an equal unit type count.. Lots 1 and 6 will have one unit type, lots 2 and 5 will have the second unit type, and lots 3 and 4 will have the third unit type. Each corresponding lot will have reverse floor plans. Though all unit types include the same materials, each unit type has a contrasting color scheme, varying forms, façade breaks, and building heights to avoid a repetitive design. Lots 1, 2, and 3 will have front facades facing Madrone Avenue, and lots 1 and 6 will have side façades facing Arrow Route which have been designed to appear as a front façade. Additionally, the frontage Required Proposed Compliant?

Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on May 7th at a nearby park. Approximately four of the neighboring property owners were in attendance and asked questions relating to the utilities, architecture, and floor plans. There were not any significant concerns raised by attendees and Staff has not received any correspondence from the public to date.

The project complies with each of the requirements of the Development Code except for certain deficient setbacks as described in the staff report and for which the applicant has requested a Minor Exception as part of this development application pursuant to Development Code section 17.16.110; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. The Planning and Economic Development Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Suburban Neighborhood Low and Medium Zone, respectively, which permits the development of a detached single-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption: a. Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (LSA Associates, Inc., June 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate 57 total daily trips including 4 AM peak hour trips and 6 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to generate 50 or more trips during the AM or PM peak hour and does not require a detailed LOS analysis. Additionally, the proposed Project is not expected to exceed the City’s daily trip threshold of 250 daily trips and will not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project is expected to have a less than significant impact and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. b.Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features Page 68 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-25 DR DRC2023-00111 – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 4 included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. c. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2023), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. d. Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2024). 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF AUGUST 2024.

A.Recitals. 1.Fairview Enterprise LLC filed an application for Minor Exception DRC2023-00237 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor Exception request is referred to as "the application." 2.On the 14th day of August 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said 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 August 14, 2024, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a.The application applies to an undeveloped project site located at the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Madrone Avenue; and b.The project site is a vacant parcel with an area of approximately 0.83 acres. The site is approximately 93 feet east to west, and approximately 150 feet north to south; and c.The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above-noted parcel) are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential North Vacant and Single- Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential Exhibit F Page 87 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-26 ME DRC2023-00237 – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 2 d. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception for a reduced corner side yard setback from 45 feet to 40 feet 8 inches for lots 1 and 6, and a reduced front yard setback from 27 feet to 24 feet 3 inches for lot 4; and The project complies with each of the development standards for the Medium (M) Conventional Zone and identifies the minor exception setback reductions as shown in the following table: Required Proposed Compliant Density 8 -14 Units Per Acre 8 DUA Yes Lot Size 4,000 Minimum 4,037 – 5,081 SF 4,674 SF Average Yes Lot Width 40 Feet Minimum, 50 Feet corner lot 45 Feet, 57 Feet corner lot Yes Lot Depth 80 Feet Minimum 88 Feet Yes Lot Coverage 50 Percent 26 to 48 Percent Yes Front Setback** 27 feet 24’-3” ** and 27 Feet Yes ** Corner Side Yard Setback, Street Frontage Setback** 17 Feet, 45 Feet ** 40’-8” ** Yes ** Interior Side Yard Setbacks 5/5 Feet 5/5 Yes Rear Yard Setback 15 feet 15 Feet Yes Building Height 35 feet 27 Feet Yes e. Per Tables 17.36.010-3 and 17.36.010-1B of the Development Code, the minimum setback from the corner side yard, and in this specific case the streetscape setback, along Arrow Rout is 45 feet, and the front yard setback is 27 feet. Setbacks may be reduced up to 10 percent with the approval of a Minor Exception. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed development is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The General Plan designation of the project site is Suburban Neighborhood Low and the zoning of the property is Medium (M) Residential. The Minor Exception does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning designation, or the residential purpose of the project site; and South Single-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential East Single-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential West Multi-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential Page 88 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-26 ME DRC2023-00237 – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 3 b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception for reduced setbacks will not result in a substantially larger house, an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to the physical lot area of the subject lots; and c. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or accommodate unique site conditions. The minimum lot sizes limit the design of the proposed single-family dwellings and the expansion of the dwelling into the side yards and the front yard results in a more functional living space. The proposed setbacks still provides adequate distance from the public way and adjacent property owners and does not compromise the design of the dwelling nor the overall project. The portion of the house that will encroach into the setback with the minor exception is the side of the dwelling units and a front porch projection which contributes to the exterior use and design of the house; and d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct a house and still allow for usable side yards and front yard area. The development will be consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City. The setback reduction is unlikely to impact public health, safety, or welfare. 4. The Planning and Economic Development Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Suburban Neighborhood Low and Medium Zone, respectively, which permits the development of a detached single-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption: a. Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (LSA Associates, Inc., June 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate 57 total daily trips including 4 AM peak hour Page 89 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-26 ME DRC2023-00237 – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 4 trips and 6 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to generate 50 or more trips during the AM or PM peak hour and does not require a detailed LOS analysis. Additionally, the proposed Project is not expected to exceed the City’s daily trip threshold of 250 daily trips and will not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project is expected to have a less than significant impact and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. b. Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. c. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2023), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. d. Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2024). 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF AUGUST 2024.

The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, East Single-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential West Multi-Family Residential Suburban Neighborhood Low Medium (M) Residential Page 93 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-27 TTM SUBTT20616 – ARROW 6-LOT SUBDIVISION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 3 (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Suburban Neighborhood Low and Medium Zone, respectively, which permits the development of a detached single-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption: a. Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (LSA Associates, Inc., June 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate 57 total daily trips including 4 AM peak hour trips and 6 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to generate 50 or more trips during the AM or PM peak hour and does not require a detailed LOS analysis. Additionally, the proposed Project is not expected to exceed the City’s daily trip threshold of 250 daily trips and will not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project is expected to have a less than significant impact and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. b. Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. c. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (LSA Associates, Inc., April 2023), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. d. Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2024). 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: Tony Morales, Chairman ATTEST: Matt Marquez, Secretary I, Matt Marquez, Secretary of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 14th day of August 2024, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: Page 95 DATE:August 14, 2024 TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM:Matt Marquez, Director of Planning and Economic Development INITIATED BY:Adam Pisarkiewicz, AICP, Contract Planner SUBJECT:DESIGN REVIEW - BISHOP VENTURES – A request has been made to construct a multi-family development comprised of 145 residential units located at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street in the Corridor 1 (CO1) Zone. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Sections 15332, which covers infill projects of less than five acres in an urbanized area. APN: 0208-632-47 (DRC2022-00354). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that, as required by State law, the Planning Commission adopt a resolution, approving Design Review DRC2022-00354, located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval related to a request to construct a multi-family development comprising 145 residential units on approximately 2.72 acres of land, inclusive of waivers requested by the applicant in compliance with state housing law. BACKGROUND: Site Characteristics and Land Use/Zoning: The 2.72-acre project site is located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street. The project site is vacant and has been for decades. The dimensions of the roughly square project site are approximately 280 feet from north to south and 408 feet from east to west. The site is generally flat with minimal grade changes. The Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Table A: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Context Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant City Corridor Moderate Corridor 1 (CO-1) North Single-Family Residences Suburban Neighborhood – Very Low Low Residential (L) South Multi-Family Residences City Corridor Moderate Corridor 1 (CO-1) East Commercial (Auto Repair)City Corridor Moderate Corridor 1 (CO-1) West Commercial Shopping Center City Corridor Moderate Corridor 1 (CO-1) Page 96 Page 2 of 11 2 4 9 2 Legislative Context: The applicant proposes to set aside 11% of the residential units (12 units) as affordable housing for very low- income households. Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (SDBL), in exchange for setting aside a minimum of 5% of the units as affordable housing, the applicant is permitted automatic parking reductions, and may request one concession/incentive and unlimited waivers from the City‘s required development standards. ANALYSIS: The project is comprised one 4-story residential building with an interior courtyard/pool area, pocket park, dog park, and surface parking. Parking is provided in surface lots and private garages on the first floor of the residential building, and off-street parking along a new frontage lane on Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street. The new frontage lane and on-street parking creates a buffer between the units, the pocket park, dog park, and vehicle traffic. (See Figure 1) \ Figure 1: Illustrative Site Plan Architecture: The project’s exterior design is considered contemporary, when comparing to other developments in Southern California of similar size. All proposed buildings contain flat roofs with varying rooflines, large open corner elements, and undulating building facades to help break up the building massing and provide visual interest. Building materials include concrete, plaster, and metal railings on balconies.

Unit Composition and Floor Plans: The project is comprised of 145 elevator-served residential units that are all single-level except for 11 units which include mezzanines. The table below summarizes the number of residential units and square feet of commercial lease area: Page 98 Page 4 of 11 2 4 9 2 Table B: Unit Summary UNIT SUMMARY Residential Unit Type Unit Size (SF - Net)Number of Units Studio 361-510 SF 19 1 Bedroom 508 to 883 SF 64 2 Bedroom 804 to 1,161 SF 62 Total Number of Units 145 Recreational Amenities: Resident amenities include the following: •Pool with lounge seating areas •Indoor Lounge •Dog park •Bike Storage Facility with 40 long-term racks •Interior pocket park with bench seating •Leasing office Public Amenities: One pocket park on the southwest corner of the property and one dog park in the southeast corner of the property. Ten short-term bike racks. State Density Bonus Law: Under State Density Bonus Law, depending on the quantity and target income level of affordable units provided, developers are eligible an increase in prescribed density for a site. In addition, developers can request an “incentive” or “concession” of a development standard in order to facilitate the construction of the development including the density bonus units. To deny a concession or incentive, the city must find, based upon substantial evidence, that the requested concession or incentive: 1) does not result in identifiable and actual cost savings to the project to provide for the affordable housing costs; or 2) would have a specific adverse impact on public health, safety or on property which is listed on the state Register of Historical Resources and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate the specific adverse impact without making the project unaffordable to the affordable households; or 3) would be contrary to state or federal law. The number of incentives or concessions increase as projects provide more affordable housing. In addition, developers can request “waivers” or modifications of development standards that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the proposed density bonus units or the requested developer’s requested concession or incentive. As with requested concessions or incentives, a city can only deny the requested waiver if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the waiver would have a specific adverse impact on public health or safety or on property which is listed on the state Register of Historical Resources and where there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate the specific adverse impact or, is contrary to state or federal law. Incentive and Waivers Requested: The applicant has requested a total of one incentive and 10 waivers through State Density Bonus Law (SDBL). Under the SDBL, a “waiver” is intended to modify or reduce applicable development standards that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the proposed density bonus units. An “incentive” is intended to allow for any modification to the City’s zoning and development standards which results in identifiable and actual cost reductions towards providing affordable housing units within the development. These incentives and waivers, as requested by the applicant, include: Page 99 Page 5 of 11 2 4 9 2 1. Incentive: Reduce the non-residential intensity in the Corridor 1 (CO-1) Zoning District (Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.150-1). •City Requirement – non-residential FAR of 0.4-2.0 •Project Proposes – non-residential FAR of 0.0 Relative to the subject City Corridor – Moderate land use designation, General Plan Table LC-1 (General Plan Designations), establishes a maximum residential density (DU/AC) of 30 du/ac, non-residential intensity (Floor Area Ratio – “FAR”) of 0.4-2.0, and a target use mix ratio (residential-to-non-residential) of 50/50. Staff notes that while the General Plan clearly states that the target land-use mix ratios (i.e. 50/50 residential/non-residential) listed in table LC-1 are targets for the “overall designation” (i.e. the entirety of the City Corridor - Moderate designation), thus the 50/50 land use-mix ratio is not necessarily intended to be a standard applicable to the subject project site, the project area is subject to the objective requirement of non-residential FAR of 0.4-2.0. In requesting an incentive, the applicant does not propose any non-residential FAR. The applicant contends that in order to provide onsite affordable housing units and accommodate the bonus units, the building’s habitable space needs to also be almost entirely residential, including the ground floor. 2. Waive the requirement of building façade planes facing a residential zone may not exceed 40 feet in length without a break of minimum 10 feet in depth and 10 feet in length (Section 17.130.030.K.2). •City Requirement – Building façade planes facing a residential zone may not exceed 40 feet in length without a break of minimum 10 feet in depth and 10 feet in length. (RCMC Section 17.130.030(K)(2)) •Project Proposes – Proposed Building will not contain a break of 10 feet in depth and 10 feet in length for every 40 feet of façade plane length. Rancho Cucamonga’s Zoning Code, specifically Table 17.130.030.K.2, specifies that for buildings adjacent to lower-density residential, the building façade planes facing a residential zone may not exceed 40 feet in length without a break of minimum 10 feet in depth and 10 feet in length. The intent of the standard is to break up the massing of the building facade so it does not appear as a one monolith plane. The applicant contends that although the proposed building does not meet the specific standard, the proposed building does provide numerous visual breaks along the north elevation through the usage of architectural projections or cowls. The building is also set back approximately 71 feet from the northern property line which abuts single-family dwellings. 3. Waive the prohibition of balconies, decks and other habitable spaces on upper-story facades or roofs abutting residential zones (Section 17.130.030.O.1). •City requirement – Balconies, decks and other habitable outdoor spaces are not allowed on upper-story facades or roofs abutting residential zones. •Project Proposes – Balconies facing the single-family residential zone behind the subject property. Section 17.130.030.O.1 (Privacy) states that balconies, decks, and other habitable outdoor spaces are not allowed on upper-story facades or roofs abutting residential zones. The applicant is proposing to include twelve balconies along the upper-story façade that abuts an adjacent residential zone. The applicant contends that the building is set back approximately 71 feet from the northern property line adjacent to a residential zone while also providing landscaping buffers and trees between the proposed building and the adjacent residential buildings. In addition, the applicant states they intentionally reduced Page 100 Page 6 of 11 2 4 9 2 the number of balconies facing north and instead had the balconies facing east or west whenever possible. 4. Waive the prohibition on residential uses on the ground level of buildings (Section 17.130.040.B.3) •City requirement – Properties designated with a Corridor Fronting Nonresidential Ground Floor Use Required designation shall not be developed with residential units on the first or ground floor fronting Foothill Boulevard or Haven Avenue. (RCMC Section 17.130.040(3)(a)) •Project Proposes – Residential units on the ground floor. Section 17.130.040.B.3 (Corridor Fronting Nonresidential Ground Floor Use Restrictions) states that properties designated with a Corridor Fronting Nonresidential Ground Floor Use Required designation shall not be developed with residential units on the first or ground floor fronting Foothill Boulevard or Haven Avenue. Uses associated with an on-site residential use, such as leasing office, community space, the work component of a live/work unit, gym for residents, childcare space, communal work space, or project amenities are allowed on the ground floor. The project proposes 13 units on the ground floor fronting Foothill Boulevard and eight units on the ground floor facing the rear surface parking lot. The applicant states that in order for them to provide onsite affordable units and accommodate the additional units granted by the State Housing Density Bonus Law, the building’s habitable space needs to be almost entirely residential including on the ground floor. In addition, the type of construction (T5) does not allow for an additional story of wood framing and switching to a concrete podium type project would be cost prohibitive. 5. Waive the requirement that 80% of the primary frontage must be occupied by the building within 0 ft. to 15 ft. of the property line (Section 17.130.040, Table 17.130.050-1). •City requirement – A minimum of 80% of the building’s primary frontage shall be within the build-to lines. •Project Proposes – 54% of the building’s primary frontage is within the private frontage area. Table 17.130.050-1 displays the requirement that 80% of the building’s primary frontage must be placed between the build-to lines, which is a minimum of 0 feet from the front property line and a maximum of 15 feet from the front property line. The applicant contends that in order to create proposed frontage lane along the front of the property along with additional landscaping, the lot line adjustment and building placement results in 54% of the primary frontage being within the build-to lines. 6. Waive the requirement that 30% of the secondary frontage must be occupied by the building within 0 ft. to 15 ft. of the property line (Section 17.130.040, Table 17.130.050-1). •City requirement – A minimum of 30% of the building’s secondary frontage shall be within the build-to lines. •Project Proposes – 22% of the building’s secondary frontage is within the build-to lines. Table 17.130.050-1 displays the requirement that 30% of the building’s primary frontage must be placed between the build-to lines, which is a minimum of 0 feet from the street-side property line and a maximum of 15 feet from the street-side property line. The applicant contends that the size and shape of the portion of the proposed building along Lion Street as well as the rear surface parking only allows for 22% of the building to be within the build-to lines. 7. Waive requirement that all private open space must have a minimum dimension of six feet in any direction (Section 17.123.060.A). •City requirement – All private open space must have a minimum dimension of six feet in any direction. Page 101 Page 7 of 11 2 4 9 2 •Project proposes – Balconies vary in dimension from 3 ft. to 6 ft. in depth. The applicant asserts that making all balconies a minimum of 6 feet in depth would add additional cost which would preclude the affordable housing from being built as designed. 8. Waive the 15-foot maximum build-to line requirement for the primary frontage (Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.050-1). •City requirement – A proposed building within the CO-1 zone shall place the building no further than 15 feet from the front property line. •Project proposes – The proposed building measures between approximately 9 feet to 24 feet from the front property line. The applicant is requesting a waiver of the 15-foot maximum build-to line requirement from the primary building frontage due to the placement of the proposed pocket park located on the southwest corner of the property. The presence of the pocket park on the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street pushes the primary frontage of the building back from the front property line beyond 15 feet. 9. Waive the maximum setback from curb standard for Gallery & Arcade Variation façade type (Section 17.132.050). •City requirement – Gallery & Arcade Variation Frontage Type shall be set back from curb a minimum of 2 feet and a maximum of 6 feet. •Project proposes – Gallery & Arcade Variation Frontage Type set back between 16 feet and 35 feet from the curb. The applicant is requesting a waiver of the building entrance and façade type requirements for the set back requirements of the Gallery & Arcade Variation. The applicant asserts that the design of the building as well as the shape of the lot, after the lot line revision, creates a building entrance that has a setback to the curb that is greater than the prescribed 6 feet. 10. Waive the clear distance to development site line and depth standard for the Small Front Yard, Porch, and Stoop Variations in the CO-1 zone (Section 17.132.040). •City requirement – A minimum “clear distance to development site line” of 2 feet and a minimum depth of 6 feet. •Project proposes – A clear distance to development site line of 1.4 feet and a minimum depth of 5 feet 6 inches. The applicant is requesting a waiver of the clear distance to the development site line minimum and the minimum depth of the Small Front Yard, Porch, and Stoop Variations. The applicant asserts that the design of the building and the shape of the lot preclude the ability to fully meet the two standards for the Small Front Yard, Porch, and Stoop Variations façade type. 11. Waive the required finished floor minimum of 30-inches above grade for residential units at the maximum build-to line (Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.050-1). •City requirement – Residential finish floor elevation of 30 inches minimum above grade at the maximum built-to line. •Project proposes – Residential finish floor elevation of 8-12 inches above grade. The applicant is requesting a waiver of 30-inch minimum residential finish floor elevation above grade at the maximum built-to line. The applicant asserts that raising the residential finish floor to 30 inches above Page 102 Page 8 of 11 2 4 9 2 grade would be cost prohibitive and would also trigger accessibility issues for all ground-floor residential units. Compliance with Development Standards: See Table C regarding the project’s compliance with relevant development standards of the Corridor 1(CO-1) zone and General Plan requirements, in light of the various waivers requested. Table C: Development Standards Compliance Table COMPLIANCE TABLE Development Standard Required Proposed Complies Residential Density 42 DU/AC max.57 DU/AC YES* Non-Residential Intensity/FAR (General Plan) 0.4-1.0 0 INCENTIVE Setbacks (CO-1)Variable Variable YES Building Height (CO-1)5 stories max.4 stories YES Landscape Area 10% min.30%YES Open Space 10,780 SF (30 SF/Unit)14,220 SF YES *State Density Bonus Law allows for developments to exceed the maximum units per acre standard Parking: Based on the number of units provided, the project is required to provide 274 parking spaces pursuant to the development code. Notably, the project proposes 185 parking spaces, a deficiency of 89 parking spaces. The applicant is afforded these parking reductions through State Density Bonus Law, which permits automatic parking reductions for affordable housing projects. Lastly, staff also notes that the applicant is providing 19 on-street parking spaces, in addition to the on-site parking, in order to serve the residents and guests. Specifically, 11 clear-view parking spaces along the proposed frontage lane parallel to Foothill Boulevard and 8 parallel parking spaces along Lion Street. Figure 5 below displays the locations of the proposed on-street parking spaces. Page 103 Page 9 of 11 2 4 9 2 Figure 5: Site Plan, displaying the proposed frontage lane and off-street parking areas circled in red. Lion Street - Re-opening Northbound Lane: The northbound lane of Lion Street was closed to through-traffic in 1990 due to concerns of motorists driving through the residential area to reach San Bernardino Road, especially ones coming from the shopping center at the corner of Foothill and Lion. During the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, Foothill Boulevard was the main east-west thoroughfare through the City. Since then, additional east-west connections have been created that have disbursed traffic to other thoroughfares and motorists are frequently seen violating the “do not enter” signs, driving in the southbound lane of Lion Street. Re-opening the northbound lane of Lion Street is needed for public safety response and emergency evacuation routes with the additional residential units created by this development as well as having a second means of ingress/egress from the site. In addition, the closed northbound lane of Lion Street is inconsistent with two policies of the General Plan: 1.Policy LC-4.3 Connected Neighborhoods. Require that each new increment of residential development make all possible street, trail, and open space connections into any adjoining parcels. 2.Policy MA-2.4Street Connectivity. Require connectivity and accessibility to a mix of land uses that meets residents’ daily needs within walking distance. In coordination with the Engineering Department, the developer has agreed to modify the existing southbound approach on Lion Street, which allows for a left/right turn movement onto Foothill Boulevard, by installing a half triangular shaped median/island barrier which only allows for a right-turn only movement onto Foothill Boulevard. Also, the developer has proposed to install a stop sign at the corner of Lion Street and Estacia Street. Page 104 Page 10 of 11 2 4 9 2 Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting, hosted by the applicant, was held on April 18, 2024 at Sweeten Hall. Approximately 30 people attended the meeting and expressed their concerns about the project which generally focused on density, building height, parking, and traffic impacts. Many participants at the neighborhood meeting also expressed concerns regarding the reopening of Lion Street to two-way traffic and its potential impact on the neighborhood behind the proposed development. Design Review Committee: The proposed project was presented to the Design Review Committee at their May 7, 2024 meeting. The Commissioners were supportive of the proposed architectural style as well as the associated materials and colors. The Commissioners asked the applicant to consider adding additional amenities aimed at young children such as a playground or swing set. The applicant stated that they will look into the possibility of including additional amenities catered toward young children. Public Art: The proposed project is subject to the requirements of Chapter 17. 124 (Design Section for Public Art) although the applicant may request an exemption if it can establish that the value of the project’s income restricted units equals or exceeds the minimum value of the artwork that would otherwise be required in accordance with Section 17.124.020.B.2 which states that certain residential projects containing affordable units are exempt from the public art requirements, specifically, “Residential projects that contain income restricted affordable housing units where the value of the restricted unit(s) equals or exceeds the minimum value of the art work that would otherwise be required”. CEQA Determination: Planning and Economic Development Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are City Corridor Moderate and Corridor- 1, respectively, which permits the development of a multi-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption. a) Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (Translutions Inc., March 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed multi-family development is anticipated to generate 658 total daily trips including 54 AM peak hour trips and 57 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. The Project’s VMT per service population is forecast to be 20.9 which is below the General Plan Buildout VMT per service population threshold of 32.3. Since the Project’s VMT per service population is less than the City’s threshold, the project is expected to have a less than significant impact Page 105 Page 11 of 11 2 4 9 2 and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. b) Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (Dudek, August 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. c) Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (Dudek, August 2024), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. d) Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (Madole and Associates, Inc. May 2024). Correspondence: Mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 660-feet on July 25, 2024. Similarly, a notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, and the site was posted on July 26, 2024. City staff has received written correspondence from various neighbors and residents (Exhibit F) expressing various concerns related to the project. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED: The project supports several City Council core values by providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all. The General Plan anticipates Foothill Boulevard becoming a vibrant, walkable environment including a variety of uses and activities for all to enjoy. The proposed project fits this vision of the General Plan.

APN: 0208-632-47-0000 (DRC2022-00354). Site Characteristics: The 2.72-acre project site is located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street. The site is current vacant and has been so for decades. The dimensions of the roughly square project site are approximately 290 feet from north to south and 408 feet from east to west. The site is flat with minimal grade change. Background and Legislative Context: The applicant submitted an SB 330 preliminary application on September 20, 2022 (followed by a timely full application), which vested the project to applicable development standards in place at the time in accordance with state law. The Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Table A: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Context In addition to the SB 330 application, the applicant also proposes to utilize State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) and will preserve 11% of the residential units (12 units) for very low-income households. Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (SDBL), the applicant is requesting waivers from various development standards. A full discussion of waivers will be provided to the Planning Commission at the appropriate time. Project Design and Layout: The project is comprised one 4-story residential building with an interior courtyard/pool area, pocket park, dog park, and surface parking. Parking is provided in surface lots and private garages on the first floor of the residential building, and off-street parking along a new frontage lane on Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street. The new frontage lane and on-street parking creates a buffer between the units, the pocket park, dog park, and vehicle traffic.

Under the SDBL, a “waiver” is intended to modify or reduce applicable development standards that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the proposed density bonus units or the developer’s requested concession or incentive. See below for the project’s compliance with relevant development standards.

As a result of parking reductions afforded to the project through SDBL, these 185 parking spaces exceeds the minimum number of required parking spaces for the project which would be 176. Foothill Boulevard Frontage Lane and Off-Street Parking: Staff also notes that the applicant is providing 19 off-street parking spaces, in addition to the on- site parking, to serve the development. Specifically, 11 back-in parking spaces along the frontage lane parallel to Foothill Boulevard, separated from Foothill Boulevard via a new landscaped median, and 8 parallel parking spaces along Lion Street. The figure below displays the locations of the frontage lane and off-street spaces for reference: Figure 5: Site Plan, displaying the proposed frontage lane and off-street parking areas circled in red.

DESIGN REVIEW – LONE OAK-RANCHO, LLC– A request to redevelop and expand an existing beverage distribution facility over two phases to include production, bottling and distribution operations on approximately 30.11 acres of land generally bounded by Haven Avenue to the west, 7th Street to the north, Utica Avenue to the east, and 6th Street to the south in the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) Zone. APN: 0209- 411-002, -003, 004, -023, -24, -32, -34, -35 (DRC2023-00067). Staff presented the item to the Design Review Committee. Following staff’s presentation, members of the applicant team (Lone Oak-Rancho LLC), including their architect and consultant, gave additional background and detail on the project. Following the presentation and the applicant’s initial sharing of additional detail, discussion ensued over various aspects of the project. Staff sought the Committee’s recommendation on 3 topics: screening of the ground water well infrastructure at Utica Avenue and 6th Street; additional facade improvements along the project's west elevation (Haven Avenue); and additional enhanced paving adjacent to the sidewalk along Haven Avenue.

We and our family, have lived in the neighborhood adjacent to this proposed new development for close to 40 years at 9105 Estacia St. All the homes in this neighborhood are single story and the reason many of us purchased homes here was because of the design of the neighborhood which allowed children to play outdoors safely with little through traffic. Most of the neighbors know each other and look out for each other. It is a neighborhood of people of moderate income who have worked hard to get their home, make improvements and maintain it. We know that there is a shortage of affordable housing in California and it is needed in our city, but we are against this proposed project design for the following reasons: It is a four-story complex next to single story homes. What happened to our planning commission? There is insufficient parking for the 145 units (only 185 parking spaces). 62 – 2 bedroom units 64 – 1 bedroom units 19 – Studio units Since this proposed development is not providing adequate parking, it means our neighborhood will become their parking lot! This will increase traffic and noise at all hours of the day and night and increase crime as there will be many more cars available to be broken into and their owners will be far away in the complex. The homes directly behind the development will also bear the brunt of the parking noise from the within the development itself since the parking will be right behind their rear wall with little buffer and only a 6 foot wall between them (according to the plans shared with us at the neighborhood meeting). According to our city’s planning website page, Rancho Cucamonga’s planning goal is “to maximize the health, safety and economic well being of all people living in our community”. “Planning helps create communities of lasting value”. EXCEPT when it comes to our long-standing neighborhood. Our safety, economic well-being and housing values will be minimized with this proposed development. Are you asking our neighborhood to give up our quality of life for the greater good of Rancho Cucamonga? We should matter just as much as those higher up on the hill who have not been zoned for big changes. In looking at all the available open land along the Foothill Corridor, it seems there are many other locations where this proposed development would make more sense and have less impact on established neighborhoods.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good afternoon and thank you for the opportunity to voice our neighborhood's concern about the proposed construction of a 145 residential units at the corner of Foothill Blvd and Lion Street in the Corridor 1 (CO1) zone. New developments are always great for the city and I have nothing against it. However, based on the initial meeting we were with the developers at least a couple of months ago and after seeing the design, my, and most of my neighbor's concerns are as follow (based on importance for me): 1. Privacy - with the allowed height of block wall that will be put in place (as far as I saw in the design), the highest level of units will have full view our entire backyard. Possible solutions (?): a. Raise the block wall to the right height to provide privacy without altering the building's design and add tall trees accordingly? b. Completely remove the 4th level of the building from the design so that the highest point where an occupant could be will not have visibility of our backyards. Thus, maintaining our backyard privacy. c. No open windows/porch on any unit facing the north side of the building. d. Very well lit parking lot in the north side of the property so ensure safety of people and properties that are in that area. 2. Traffic Flow - the current design provides an opening in the Lion Street side where cars can go and cut thru Estacia Street to exit to San Bernardino Avenue - and vice-versa. Increase in traffic thru Estacia Street, as mentioned, will pose additional risk to people, especially, to neighborhood kids that plays along side the street often times. Possible solution (?): a. Close the opening driveway along Lion Street and make two entrances to the property both along Foothill Avenue instead. b. Keep Lion Street a one way street (South direction) as how it is right now from half its length to Estacia Street. 8/7/24, 8:28 AM FW: Proposed Bishop Ventures' construction of 145 residential units - Adam Pisarkiewicz - Outlook about:blank 1/2 Page 158 b. Is it possible to also use street at the NNE corner of the property (behind Pep Boys) as an entrance/exit to the property instead? 3. During construction - needless to say, there will be a lots of noise, debris, and dust flying around whilst the wall and the property is being built. Does the developer have a planned action to mitigate this? As I said, these are my main and personal concern. I am not sure what else my neighbors have in their mind. Thank you for your consideration.

A.Recitals. 1.Bishop Ventures has filed an application for the issuance of Design Review DRC2022- 00354 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review request is referred to as "the application." 2.On the 14th day of August, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said 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 August 14th, 2024, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a.The applicant submitted a Senate Bill (SB) 330 preliminary application which was accepted on September 20, 2022, followed by a timely full application, which vested the project to applicable development standards in place at the time in accordance with state law; and b.As of September 20, 2022, the zoning of the subject project area in place at the time, and still effective today, was and is Corridor 1 (CO1); and c.As of September 20, 2022, the General Plan land use designation of the subject project area in place at the time, and still effective today, was and is City Corridor Moderate; and d.As the applicant proposes to set aside 11% of the residential units, under State Density Bonus Law the applicant is permitted automatic parking reductions, one concession/incentive, and unlimited waivers from the City’s required development standards; and e.As the applicant has requested one incentive to deviate from city requirements related to the design of frontage improvements along Foothill Boulevard, and ten waivers specifically related to the following: Exhibit F Page 166 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-28 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2022-00354 –FOOTHILL AND LION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 2 I.Incentive to reduce the non-residential intensity in the Corridor 1 (CO-1) Zoning District per RCMC Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.150-1; and II.Waive the requirement of building façade planes facing a residential zone may not exceed 40 feet in length without a break of minimum 10 feet in depth and 10 feet in length per RCMC Section 17.130.030.K.2; and III.Waive the prohibition of balconies, decks and other habitable spaces on upper-story facades or roofs abutting residential zones per RCMC Section 17.130.030.O.1; and IV.Waive the prohibition on residential uses on the ground level of buildings per RCMC Section 17.130.040.B.3; and V.Waive the requirement that 80% of the primary frontage must be occupied by the building within 0 ft. to 15 ft. of the property line per RCMC Section 17.130.040, Table 17.130.050-1; and VI.Waive the requirement that 30% of the secondary frontage must be occupied by the building within 0 ft. to 15 ft. of the property line per RCMC Section 17.130.040, Table 17.130.050-1; and VII.Waive the requirement that all private open space must have a minimum dimension of six feet in any direction per RCMC Section 17.123.060.A; and VIII.Waive the 15-foot maximum built-to line requirement for the primary frontage per RCMC Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.050-1; and IX.Waive the maximum setback from curb standard for Gallery & Arcade Variation façade type per RCMC Section 17.132.050; and X.Waive the clear distance to development site line and depth standard for Small Front Yard, Porch, and Stoop Variations in the CO-1 zone per RCMC Section 17.132.040; and XI.Waive the required finished floor minimum of 30-inches above grade for residential units at the maximum build-to line per Section 17.130.050, Table 17.130.050-1). f.The applicable land use, General Plan designation, and Zones for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Page 167 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-28 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2022-00354 –FOOTHILL AND LION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 3 g. As stated in the title of this Resolution, the project is a multi-family development comprising of 145 residential units on approximately 2.72 acres of land at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Lion Street; h. The project complies with all applicable development standards of the Corridor 1 (CO-1) zone and General Plan requirements, in light of the various waivers and incentive requested. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby specifically finds and concludes as follows: a. Upon the application of the requested incentive and waivers, the proposed development is generally consistent with the General Plan (GP). The proposed Project is consistent with the site’s GP land use designation with regard to land use and development intensity as well as built form and character and is consistent with all other applicable GP policies. The General Plan land use designation for the project site is City Corridor- Moderate, which envisions a range of residential and non-residential land uses. The project is for the development of 145 residential units providing a density of 57 dwelling units per acre due to the State Density Bonus Law, which is greater than the maximum density of 42 dwelling units per acre for City Corridor- Moderate; and b. The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The applicant submitted an SB330 preliminary application (followed by a timely full application) which vested the project to applicable development standards in place at the time in accordance with state law. Through the application of waivers and an incentive as described above, and in accordance with state law, the project is in accord with the zoning district within which the site is located. c. 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. 4. The Planning Commission has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: a. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are City Corridor Moderate and Corridor-1, respectively, which permits the development of a multi-family residential development of the proposed size and configuration. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. b. Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis (Translutions Inc., March 2024) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed multi-family development is anticipated to generate 658 total daily trips including 54 AM peak hour trips and 57 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. The Project’s VMT per service population is forecast to be 20.9 which is below the General Plan Buildout VMT per service population threshold of 32.3. Since the Project’s VMT per service population is less than the City’s threshold, the project is expected to have a less than significant impact and the analysis does not identify any mitigation measures. Page 168 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-28 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2022-00354 –FOOTHILL AND LION AUGUST 14, 2024 Page 4 c. Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (Dudek, August 2024). The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds with specific design features included with the project and deems that no mitigation measures are necessary. d. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (Dudek, August 2024), emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s) significance thresholds. It was also determined to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP and would not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. e. Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City’s adopted standard measures and regulatory compliance measures. The water quality analysis determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction and/or operations. (Madole and Associates, Inc. May 2024). 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the attached Conditions of Approval. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF AUGUST 2024.
