Planning Director Nakamura mentioned there is limited land remaining and the larger parcels that
have already been under development will not be affected by this. She asked Assistant Planner
Serafin to explain the definition of logistics uses, which might have unattended consequences for
us.
Assistant Planner Serafin explained the definition for logistics uses is not entirely clear, but they
do provide for cargo goods or products stored for distribution. She said the consequences it could
create would be for manufacturing uses that may be subject to this law.
Vice Chairman Boling stated it is unfortunate that many of the cities in the Inland Empire have
taken a direct proactive approach in designing and laying out their cities and how they are utilizing
limited land space for the maximum benefit of their businesses and residents have now been
targeted by the state. He said it is imperative for cities like Rancho Cucamonga to take advantage
of geographic nature of this infrastructure. He said he will be relying on staff as new projects
come forward that may be impacted by AB98 to see it referenced on Staff Reports and how the
project complies, so Commissioners do not have to ask.
Planning Director Nakamura confirmed.
Chairman Morales commented that staff did their due diligence and created what is best for the
community from the beginning, which makes it easy to be in alignment with it.
Planning Commission received and filed the report.
D3. Staff Presentation to Discuss 3D Modeling Policy
Principal Planner McPherson had a discussion with the Commissioners on the current 3D Modeling
Policy.
Commissioner Dopp stated that 3D modeling gives him a better representation of what the project
actually looks like.
Commissioner Daniels stated 3D modeling will help the Commission to visualize what the project
would look like.
Vice Chairman Boling stated the 3D renderings are critical. He said the augmented reality, the fly
throughs, for him, are less critical. He said if 3D renderings with street side perspective was
provided, he would feel fine with foregoing the fly throughs or the virtual tours. He said they are
nice, but he does not get that much more out of it as opposed to a true 3D street perspective from
the various point of view from project sites. Suggested 3D renderings pre-Design Review
Committee.
Assistant City Attorney Reed mentioned if there are any changes to the application process per
the Permit Streamlining Act, it would need to be added to the checklist.
Chairman Morales agreed that 3D renderings should be given to staff by applicants before Design
Review Committee to address any changes at that stage before going any further.
Commissioner Dopp asked if the Commissioners would see the finalized reversion of the policy.
Planning Director Nakamura confirmed.

DATE:February 12, 2025
TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM:Jennifer Nakamura, CNU-A, Planning Director
INITIATED BY:Sophia Serafin, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – VERIZON WIRELESS – A request to
construct a 55 foot tall stealth wireless telecommunication facility within the
Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) Zone and the General Open Space
and Facilities General Plan land use designation, located midblock on the
south side of Baseline Road between Rochester Avenue and Day Creek
Boulevard at 12107 Baseline Road; APN 1090-331-02. This item is exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Act (CEQA) and the
City’s CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15303 – New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures (DRC2024-00057).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution for the approval of
Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00057 with the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
The project site, located midblock on the south side of Baseline Road between Rochester Avenue
and Day Creek Boulevard, totals 19.67 acres. The parcel is approximately 360 feet along the
northern property line, 300 feet along the southern property line, and roughly 4,000 feet along the
eastern and western property lines. Church Street divides the parcel into two (2) sections around
the midpoint of the parcel. The site is owned by Southern California Edison as part of a utility
corridor and is currently developed with transmission towers to support the overhead power lines
that run through the corridor. A small equipment structure is also onsite. Sidewalk and street
improvements exist on both Baseline Road and Church Street. While the site is expansive, the
project area proposed to be developed will only focus on roughly the first 200 feet of depth on the
parcel south of Baseline Road. The existing land use, General Plan land use designation, and
zoning designation for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Utility Corridor General Open Space and
Facilities
Flood Control / Utility
Corridor
North County Flood Control

The applicant, Verizon Wireless, proposes Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00057 to allow for
the approval of a fifty-five (55) foot tall stealth wireless telecommunication facility. Currently,
Verizon Wireless leases an existing non-stealth facility (antennas) which is mounted to the
northern-most transmission tower within the parcel owned by Southern California Edison. Verizon
Wireless is unable to upgrade their current mounted equipment as Southern California Edison
cannot approve additional weight on the transmission tower for structural reasons. Verizon
Wireless currently has a 738 square-foot lease area for the existing ground mounted equipment
and proposes to increase this lease area by 625 square-feet in order to construct a 144 square-
foot stealth facility. The existing antennas on the transmission tower will be removed and the
existing ground mounted equipment will remain in place and serve the proposed facility. Access
to the tower will be provided through an existing driveway approach for the parcel off of Baseline
Road. An access gate will be provided in the existing fence that separates the lease area from
the transmission towers in order to allow for service vehicles to reach the cell tower.

ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.106.020B, the proposed wireless communication
facility requires a Conditional Use Permit as it is classified as a “major wireless communication
facility” due to the height of the tower exceeding the maximum permitted height within the district
it is located in. The Flood Control/Utility Corridor does not specify height limit, but instead requires
that buildings are designed for compatibility in height with surrounding developments. The
surrounding properties to the north, south, and west are similarly zoned as Flood Control/Utility
Corridor, but the property to the east of the project site is zoned as Neighborhood General 3 –
Limited, which limits the height of wireless communication facilities to thirty (30) feet. As such, a
Conditional Use Permit is required as the fifty-five (55) foot cell tower will exceed the height
maximum permitted height in the adjacent parcel.
Major wireless telecommunication facilities, as outlined in Section 17.106.040 of the Development
Code, require that facilities are not located within 300 feet of any residential structure or residential
zone. The proposed project will be located 322 feet and ten (10) inches away from the closest
residential zone or structures when measured from the nearest point of the proposed major
wireless telecommunication facility to the site’s eastern property line, which consists of a
residential zone with residential structures. The proposed project will increase the distance
between the existing facility mounted on the Southern California Edison transmission tower and
the existing residential structures to the east as the current location of the antennas on the
transmission tower are within 300 feet of the residential zone.
Historic Design
The proposed cell tower will commemorate the City’s history of viticulture by providing a design
reminiscent of the historic Virginia Dare Winery tower located at the corner of Foothill Boulevard
and Haven Avenue. This design will provide a historically relevant stealth option for the wireless
telecommunication equipment that ties in the architectural theme of a structure that has remained
a staple in the City since its construction in 1908. The location of the cell tower on Baseline Road
will also allow this history to be showcased in a visible location.
The wireless telecommunication facility will feature a rectangular stucco tower with arched doors
at the base, arched openings beneath the roofline, a decorative midpoint opening, and a hip roof
with decorative corbels supporting the overhang. These features will reflect those present on the
original tower. The tower and roof colors will also replicate those of the original tower.

Public Art
Per Section 17.124.020A of the Development Code, public art requirements do not apply to
Conditional Use Permits and are applicable only to Site Development Review, Minor Design
Review, or Design Review applications that meet specified criteria. As such, the Conditional Use
Permit is exempt from the public art requirement.
Environmental Assessment
The Planning 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 a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, which consists of construction of

limited new, small facilities or structures as well as instillation of small new equipment and facilities
in small structures. The project scope is for the construction of 144 square foot stealth wireless
telecommunication facility tower that will have wireless telecommunication equipment installed
within the tower. There is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment.
Correspondence
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on January 29, 2025. Notices were mailed to a total of 635
property owners within 660 feet of the site on January 29, 2025 as well. The site was posted on
January 29, 2025. As of date, staff have received one (1) email communication from the public
regarding this project. The commenter expressed that they are against the proposed stealth
wireless telecommunication tower.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site is currently assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this tax is shared
with the City. While the proposed wireless telecommunication tower is not a significant addition
to the parcel, the project does have the potential to lead to an increased reassessment of the
property’s value as the site does not currently contain any buildings or structures. As a result, the
subsequent property taxes could be raised, providing the City with a respective increase in
revenue generated from property taxes.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The proposed wireless telecommunication tower addresses the City Council value of promoting
and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all. The existing antennas attached to the
transmission tower were first installed in 2002 and last received upgrades in 2013. The
surrounding area has grown significantly in both development and population since the antennas
were last upgraded. The proposal to move the equipment to a new location on the same site, in
order to have the ability to upgrade the service, will allow for enhanced public safety and health
services as emergency communications can be improved in the area. Additionally, this can
increase the ability for nearby residents to have better access and connectivity to telehealth
services. The City Council value of relentless pursuit of improvement is also addressed by the
proposed project. The cell tower will mask the currently visible antennas that are on the
transmission tower while also providing a notable structure, creating aesthetic improvements on
an undeveloped strip of land. Upgrading the equipment will also lead to improvements as this will
provide much needed service speed and access upgrades to meet the growing technological
needs of the population.

1090-331-02.
A.Recitals.
1.The Applicant, Verizon Wirless, filed an application for Conditional Use Permit
DRC2024-00057, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2.On the 12th day of February 2025, 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 February 12, 2025, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The project site consists of approximately 19.67 acres of undeveloped land and
is located on the south side of Baseline Road between Rochester Avenue and Day Creek
Boulevard; and
b. 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 Utility Corridor General Open Space
and Facilities Flood Control / Utility Corridor
North Country Flood Control
Yard
General Open Space
and Facilities Floor Control / Utility Cooridor

Page 2
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The use is consistent with the general plan designation, General Open Space
and Facilities, which is intended for recreational, educational, public utility, and flood control uses
and systems. The site is developed only with transmission towers to support the overhead power
lines that run through the corridor. A stealth wireless communication facillity will have minimal
impact on adjacent uses and properties as the conditional use permit will support the upgrade of
an existing wireless telecommunication facility for the purposes of better coverage and speeds in
the adjacent areas. The facility will be entirely stealth as all equipment will be screened by the
tower. The use is consistent with the general plan.
b.The use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and purposes
of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations and standards.
A wireless telecommunication facility which exceeds the height of the zone in which it is located
is allowed in the Flood Control / Utility Corridor (FC/UC) Zone upon the approval of a Conditional
Use Permit. The use is consistent with the zoning designation and development code in that the
use does not propose construction of a tower that will not negatively impact the existing utility
uses and remains consistent with its current development pattern. The Development Code does
not have specific regulations or standards to apply to major wirless telecommunication facilities
outside of requiring that wireless communication facilities shall not interfere with any public radio
communication system as well as comply with all FCC rules and regulations regarding the
avoidance, mitigation, and abatement of any such interference in addition to being located at least
300 feet from any residential structures or zones. The conditions of approval included can mitigate
any potential impacts that the facililty may cause. The site is not subject to any specific plans. The
use meets the regulations and standards applied to wireless telecommunication facilities and
therefore is consistent with the Development Code.
c.The site is suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use. The site is
improved with only transmission towers which support the overhead powerlines. No changes are
proposed to the site except for the associated 144 square foot stealth tower. The use is similar in
intensity to existing uses in the immediate surrounding area. No additional physical constraints
have been added that may impede the operation of the existing surrounding land use nor the
proposed land use. Therefore, the project site is well-suited for the use.
d. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the use would be
compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and
service facilities. The wireless telecommunication facility will operate within a newly constructed
tower and will not operate beyond the project parcel nor onto the property of adjacent similar uses.
The intensity of the use is not expected to exceed the intensity of adjacent similar uses.

e. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the
vicinity in which the project is located. The scale and operation of the use is similar to adjacent
uses and will not negatively impact the normal operations of any of the surrounding uses. The
use has been conditioned to meet performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance standards
and all other Municipal Code standards to mitigate any potential impact related to the wireless
telecommunication facility.
f. The use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including police, fire,
streets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level of service
due to the use. The use does not pose any undue burdens in that it will not be designed for human
habitation or use and will not require additional service from streets and utilities. The use does
not authorize any operations which may result in additional service requests from Fire or Police
that are not normally associated with similar adjacent existing uses.
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 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, which consists of construction of
limited new, small facilities or structures as well as instillatio of small new equipment and facilities
in small structures. The Conditional Use Permit will authorize the construction of a 144 square
foot stealth wireless telecommunication facility tower that will have wireless telecommunication
equipment installed within the tower.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are General Open Space
and Facilities and Flood Control / Utility Corridor, respectively, which conditionally permits the
construction of wireless telecommunication facilities of the proposed size and configuration. The
project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks,
height, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits and is surrounded
on three sides by existing utility corridors as well as attached single-family residential on one of
the adjacent properties.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning and Economic Development Department’s
determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgement, concurs in the staff
determination of exemption.
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
below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 12TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2025.

TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM:Jennifer Nakamura, CNU-A, Planning Director
INITIATED BY:Bond Mendez, CPD, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND DESIGN REVIEW – AVIGNON
RESERVE - A request for site plan and architectural review of 18 multi-
family units and a tentative map for condominium purposes located on
approximately 1.3 acres of land within the Medium (M) Residential zone,
located on the northwest corner of Arrow Route and Manola Place; APNs:
0207-201-24, -10, -11. This item is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15332
(Infill Development Projects) (SUBTT20775, Design Review DRC2023-
00131).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT20775 and Design Review DRC2023-00131 for a proposed 18-unit multi-family
condominium project, located at the northwest corner of Arrow Route and Manola Place, subject
to conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
The 1.3-acre lot is located at the northwest corner of Arrow Route and Manola Place. The lot is
currently vacant and slopes from north to south with dimensions of approximately 193 feet (east
to west) and 280 feet (north to south). The site is surrounded by existing multifamily residential
development to the north and east, and the site is bordered to the west by a vacant parcel which
is also zoned for single and/or multi-family development. Properties to the south across Arrow
Route are currently vacant but entitled for a single-family development of a 6-lot subdivision
previously approved by the Planning Commission on August 14, 2024. The street frontage is
currently improved with sidewalk, landscaped parkway, curb and gutter, and an existing bike lane
along Arrow Route.

ANALYSIS:
Project Overview, Architecture, Building Plotting, and Site Layout
The project is for the development of 18 for-sale multi-family townhouse units across six 3-unit
buildings. Each building is three stories. The proposed three-story buildings are all below 40 feet
in height and are of a size and scale that does not overwhelm the adjacent public streets. The
building massing includes both wall and roof plane articulation, creating visual interest to each
building elevation. The front entrances to the individual units closest to Arrow Route face the
public street, and the private open spaces are open which provides direct visibility to the public
way, providing an extra level of security (i.e., eyes on the street).

The applicant has chosen an architectural theme that is Mediterranean-inspired. Design elements
include tile roofs, stucco siding, louvered window shutters, contrasting trim colors and door
finishes to reinforce the specific architectural style. The materials are carried to each elevation to
emphasize the chosen architectural theme and building articulation.
Figure 2: Architectural Elevation Rendering
The project consists of 18 three-bedroom units with 6 different floor plans that range in size from
1,820 to 2,134 square feet. Each unit includes private outdoor space with the minimum required
depth of 6 feet. The units are generally plotted with the front entrances either facing the public
street or the drive aisles interior to the project. Trash collection will take place in individual trash
bins in fixed locations throughout the project site.

association. Access into the project will be provided by private street connections from Arrow
Route and from non-gated pedestrian access points. The project will not include gates or
perimeter walls but will be designed as a connected neighborhood in that the project is conditioned
to connect to the adjacent property to the west at such time that property is developed.

The project is consistent with the development requirements for the Medium (M) Zone except for
the 3-acre lot minimum. The intent of the 3-acre lot minimum, instituted over 30 years ago, was
to encourage lot consolidation to create more complete projects. The existing site is currently
broken up into 3 separate parcels with the combined total of 1.3 acres, so some parcel
consolidation has occurred to initiate this project. The applicant and staff attempted several times
to work with the owner of the adjacent vacant property to the west, who has expressed interest in
developing a similar project, to consolidate their lot with the subject lots to develop a larger project
with shared access. Ultimately, the adjacent owner declined and has not submitted a project on
their site to date.
Pursuant to the Development Code section 17.62 Nonconforming Uses and Structures,
subsection 17.62.070.C states that nonconforming lots may be merged and/or reconfigured with
conforming or nonconforming lots to create the same or fewer number of lots but which conform
more closely to the applicable standards of the underlying zone subject to all other provisions of
this title. To summarize, the total lot size is less than the required minimum size but brings the
project site closer to conformance with the development requirements thereby decreasing the
non-conformity of the 3 individual lots as permitted by the Development Code. Further, it is
impractical to prevent a housing project from developing when the project can meet all other
development standards required in the code and will eventually be subdivided into smaller lots for
condominium purposes.
Parking
Section 17.64.050 (Number of Parking Spaces Required) of the Development Code states that
multi-family residential provides parking based on the number of bedrooms per unit. The project
only proposes 3-bedroom dwelling units which requires 2 parking spaces per unit and a ratio of 1
visitor parking space per 3 dwelling units if the project is less than or equal to 50 units. The project
proposes 18 units total which is required to provide 36 resident parking spaces and 6 guest
parking spaces, for a total of 42 overall parking spaces. The project provides 42 resident parking
spaces including off-street visitor parking. The following table summarizes the required and
provided parking spaces:

Open Space, Recreational Amenities, and Landscaping
Projects within the Medium Residential zone are required to provide private and common open
space and projects consisting of 30 units or less are required to provide at least 3 recreational
amenities in conjunction with open space. The project proposes an unobstructed open lawn area,
a tot lot, and a barbeque area. Open space and recreational areas total approximately 16,902
square feet. Landscaping is distributed along the project’s Arrow Route frontage, throughout the
project and between the existing adjacent multi-family-family development, and within the front
yard of the site. The project also includes an existing CMU wall along the north and east property
lines between the existing multi-family residential properties. The project does not include new
walls or fences except for a low retaining wall along the west property line as necessary due to
the grade difference between the adjacent vacant site.
Neighborhood Meeting
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on September 5th at the nearby Los Amigos Park.
Approximately 4 of the neighboring property owners were in attendance and asked questions
relating to circulation, parcel consolidation, parking, HOA, unit information, and construction
timing. There were not any serious concerns raised and Staff has not received any
correspondence from the public to date.
Design Review Committee
The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Boling and Diaz) on September 17,
2024. The DRC liked the project design overall and asked for clarification on a few items.
Committee member Boling asked for clarification on inquiries for development and connectivity to
the vacant property to the west of the project site. Boling also requested clarification on
enforcement of private parking violations and management. The applicant responded and
confirmed that the project will connect with the future development of the adjacent site as
conditioned by staff and that the HOA of the proposed project is responsible for parking
management. Committee member Diaz asked for clarification on the tot lot and to confirm if
playground equipment will be included. The applicant confirmed and stated that grass will be
included as well. Both committee members commended the applicant for a thoughtful and well-
designed project. The Design Review Committee voted to move the project forward to the
Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval.
Public Art
This project is required to comply with the public art ordinance as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of
the Development Code. Based on the number of residential units the total art value required per
Section 17.124.020.C. is $13,500. A condition has been included pursuant to the Development
Code that requires the public art requirement to be fulfilled prior to occupancy.
Correspondence
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to 224
property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on January 27, 2025. To date, no
comments have been received regarding the project notifications.

Environmental Analysis
The Planning 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 an
attached multi-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
(EcoTierra Consulting, October 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 project is anticipated to generate 121 total daily trips including 7 AM
peak hour trips and 9 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.
b) Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project (EcoTierra
Consulting, January 2025). 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 and Best Management Practices (BMPs), therefore the project would not
result in any significant impacts.
c) Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (EcoTierra Consulting, December 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 that
the GHG emissions will comply with the consistency measures outlined in the City’s CAP
checklist. Overall, all air quality and GHG impacts are considered less than significant.
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. (EcoTierra Consulting, January 2025).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site currently is assessed with an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax
is shared with the City. The proposed lot subdivision will increase the value of the project site
when developed with homes and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase
accordingly. The project proponent also will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees.
These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed
project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following:
library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police,
parks, and community and recreation services.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The project supports the Council’s core value of building and preserving a family-oriented
atmosphere. The proposed project will create 18 well designed residences on an undeveloped
parcel of land, providing much needed for-sale housing units.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, DESIGN REVIEW, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP – RIGHT
TIME DEVELOPMENT - A request for site plan and architectural review of 18 multi-family units
and a tentative map for condominium purposes located on approximately 1.3 acres of land within
the Medium (M) Residential zone, located on the northwest corner of Arrow Route and Manola
Place; APNs: 0207-201-24, -10, -11. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15332 (SUBTPM20738, Design Review
DRC2023-00131).
Site Characteristics and Background: The 1.3-acre lot is located at the northwest corner of Arrow
Route and Manola Place. The lot is currently vacant and slopes from north to south with
dimensions of approximately 193 feet (east to west) and 280 feet (north to south). The site is
surrounded by existing multifamily residential development to the north, east and west. Properties
to the south are currently vacant but approved for a single-family development of a 6-lot
subdivision previously approved by the Planning Commission. The street frontage is currently
improved with sidewalk, landscaped parkway, curb and gutter, and an existing bike lane along
Arrow Route.
Land Uses: The existing Land Use, General Plan, and Zoning Designations for, the project site
and the surrounding properties are as follows:

All streets within the interior of the project will be private and maintained by a homeowner’s
association. These streets, however, will be open to the public. Access into the project will be
provided by private street connections from Arrow Route and from non-gated pedestrian access
points. The project will not include gates or perimeter walls but will be designed as a connected
neighborhood, consistent with the General Plan.
Compliance with Development Standards:
The project was designed in compliance with the Medium Residential (M) zone and shown in the
following table:
Required Proposed Compliant
Density 8 -14 Units Per
Acre 14 DUA Yes
Lot Size 3 Acre Minimum
1.3 Acre Lot No
Lot Width N/A 193 Feet N/A
Lot Depth N/A 280 Feet N/A
Lot Coverage 50 Percent 36Percent Yes
Front Setback** 55 Feet ** 55 Feet Yes
Interior Side Yard Setbacks 10 Feet 10/26 Yes
Rear Yard Setback 10 feet 37 Feet Yes
Building Height 35 feet 27 Feet Yes
The project is consistent with the development requirements for the Medium (M) Zone except that
the subject lot is deficient in meeting current lot size standards. The existing site is currently
broken up into 3 separate parcels with the combined total of 1.3 acres. The total lot size is less
than the required minimum size but brings the project site closer to conformance with the
development requirements and decreasing the non-conformity of the 3 individual lots. This also
allows for a more substantial project to be developed in a cohesive manner with surrounding
development. 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 55-foot building setback for multi-family developments within the Medium
(M) zone per Table 17.36.010-3. Therefore, the total minimum front setback is 55 feet from the
face of the curb to the proposed buildings and the proposed project is consistent with this

requirement.
Parking: Section 17.64.050 (Number of Parking Spaces Required) of the Development Code
states that multi-family residential provides parking based on the number of bedrooms per unit.
The project only proposes 3-bedroom dwelling units which requires 2 parking spaces per unit and
a ratio of 1 visitor parking space per 3 dwelling units if the project is less than or equal to 50 units.
The project proposes 18 units total which is required to provide 36 resident parking spaces and 6
guest parking spaces, for a total of 42 overall parking spaces. The project provides 42 resident
parking spaces including off-street visitor parking. The following table summarizes the required
and provided parking spaces:

Open Space, Recreational Amenities, and Landscaping: Projects within the Medium Residential
zone are required to provide private and common open space and projects consisting of 30 units
or less are required to provide at least 3 recreational amenities in conjunction with open space.
The project proposes an unobstructed open lawn area, a tot lot, and a barbeque area. Open
space and recreational areas total approximately 16,902 square feet. Landscaping is distributed
along the project’s Arrow Route frontage, throughout the project and between the existing
adjacent multi-family-family development, and within the front yard of the site. The project also
includes an existing CMU wall along the north and east property lines between the existing multi-
family residential properties. The project does not include new walls or fences except for a low
retaining wall along the west property line as necessary due to the grade difference between the
adjacent vacant site.

d. The project includes the subdivision of 1.3 acres of land located into 18 numbered
lots for condominium purposes; and
e. The subdivision complies with each of the development standards for the Medium
(M) Residential Zone.
f. The subdivision is in conjunction with Design Review DRC2023-00131, for the
design of the 18 residences on the subject lots.
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 proposal is to
subdivide a property with an area of approximately 1.3 acres of land located into 18 numbered lots,
for condominium purposes for the development of 18 multi-family residences. The underlying
General Plan designation is Suburban Neighborhood Low which is intended for the development of
single-family residences with a density range of 8-14 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project
has a density of 14 units per acre; and
b. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code for the Medium (M) Residential Zone. The proposed subdivision meets all
standards outlined in the Development Code and development standards and policies of the
Planning Commission and the City, and
c. The proposed development, 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. The project site is vacant; the proposed land use is consistent with the
land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the community. The zoning
of the property and all surrounding properties is Medium (M) Residential Zone.
4. The Planning 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
Page 42
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-002
TTM SUBTT20775 – AVIGNON RESERVE
FEBRUARY 12, 2025
Page 3
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 an attached
multi-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 (EcoTierra Consulting, October 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 project is anticipated to generate 121 total daily trips including 7 AM peak hour trips and
9 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.
b. Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project
(EcoTierra Consulting, January 2025). 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 and Best Management Practices (BMPs), therefore the project would not
result in any significant impacts.
c. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (EcoTierra Consulting, December
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 that the GHG emissions will
comply with the consistency measures outlined in the City’s CAP checklist. Overall, all air quality
and GHG impacts are considered less than significant.
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. (EcoTierra Consulting, January 2025).
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.

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 an attached
multi-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 (EcoTierra Consulting, October 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 project is anticipated to generate 121 total daily trips including 7 AM peak hour trips and
9 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.
b. Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project
(EcoTierra Consulting, January 2025). 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 and Best Management Practices (BMPs), therefore the project would not
result in any significant impacts.
c. Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (EcoTierra Consulting, December
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 that the GHG emissions will
comply with the consistency measures outlined in the City’s CAP checklist. Overall, all air quality
and GHG impacts are considered less than significant.

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. (EcoTierra Consulting, January 2025).
