PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2003-01073 - JUDY SPAULDING et.al. - A request to
designate 26 Walnut trees lining Beryl Avenue north of Hillside Road and south of Carrari Court
as a Designated Local Landmark-APN: 1061-371-26, 27,28, 29, 31, and 40. (Continued from
April 28, 2004)
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report.
Vice Chairman McNiel asked for confirmation that the maintenance of the trees would be the
responsibility of the homeowners.
Mr. Henderson confirmed that was correct.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the current homeowners would have to disclose the maintenance
requirement when selling their houses.
Mr. Henderson stated that the real estate agent should check with the City as part of doing a due
diligence and each property will have a notation with respect to the Landmark Designation for the
walnut trees. He observed that a historic designation does not mean the trees will always be there
because they may be removed because of disease or poor health. He commented that some people
may plant new trees and indicated that some of the trees do show their age.
Commissioner Fletcher noted that some of the trees are more than 60 years old. He asked the
average life span of awalnut tree.
Mr. Henderson replied that the trees would have already been removed if theywere a cash crop but '
since they are mainly ornamental, they are fine so long as they are green and not a hazard.. He said
he talked to several people and no one seems to have an upper end on the length of time they
should last.
Vice Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Judy Spaulding, 5360 Falling Tree Lane, Rancho Cucamonga, stated she was the main applicant.
She felt they are beautiful trees and noted they vary in size from 18 to 78 inches in diameter. She
stated they grow slowly and have deep roots. She observed the trees have withstood winds and fire.
She said she enjoys picking up the walnuts on her way to the bus stop with her children. She
indicated they are the longest section of walnut trees in the City. She reported that the City trimmed
the limbs about 3 years ago because the School District got new buses and the trees were trimmed
back at the bus stops.
Hearing no further testimony, Vice Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Stewart commended the neighbors for coming together to protect the trees.
Commissioner Fletcher felt it is a good designation and the trees have historical significance.
Motion: Moved by Stewart, seconded by McPhail,to adopt the resolution recommending Landmark
Designation DRC2003-01073. Motion carried by the following vote:

A. HISTORIC POINT OF INTEREST DESIGNATION DRC2004-00105 - CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA-A request to designate six residences located at 9424,9434,9456,9474,9482,
and 9494 Foothill Boulevard as a Historic Point of Interest and allow relocation or demolition of
' all or some of the subject structures-APN: 0208-141-06, 08, 09, 11, 13, and 14. Related Files:
Development District Amendment DRC2003-01037, Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16567,
Development Review DRC2003-01036, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2004-00139.
Brad Buller, City Planner, announced that the public hearing was still open for the Historic
Preservation item, Historic Point of Interest Designation DRC2004-00105, and that itwould be heard
concurrently with the related Planning Commission Items A, B, and C as noted above.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report noting that a few minor corrections
were being made to the resolutions. He commented that the resolutions delineate the 18 single-
family structures as condominiums and that since each property owner will own the individual lots,
the resolutions should indicate that they are single-family detached homes. In addition,he noted that
on page 142, A-C of the agenda packet, that condition#3 would be revised to read, "The buildings
along the west boundary shall be adjusted to provide a minimum 20-foot setback and a continuous
buffer of the Podocarpus evergreen trees shall be provided along the project boundary." He added
that on page 160, A-C of the agenda packet, condition #15 would be changed to read, "Six foot
decorative block walls shall be constructed along the east and west project perimeter. For perimeter
walls, if a double wall condition would result,the developer shall make a good faith effort to work with
the adjoining property owners to provide a single wall. Developer shall notify, by mail, all contiguous
property owners at least 30 days prior to the removal of any existing walls/fences along the project
perimeter."
Chairman Macias asked the Commissioners if there were any questions.
Commissioner Stewart asked why the other homes were not being relocated like the one at 9494
Foothill Boulevard. She asked why we did not require the developer to pay to have all of the homes
moved for preservation. She commented that from a historic preservation perspective, she
wondered if offering the homes for purchase or salvage is enough. She was concerned that perhaps
we have not done enough to save these structures and that from the larger perspective of the
Etiwanda Historic Study Task Force; she knows Etiwanda is looking for historical structures.
Mr. Henderson responded that the Craftsman house at 9494 Foothill Boulevard is an example of '
classic Craftsman architecture and that it has been well cared for. He commented that it is the only
home of the group that has architectural significance and is unique. He remarked that the other
homes are very simple and have been structurally altered and are not in very good shape. He added
that they did not consider the homes as a group in the sense of being a historical district either
because they are not really linked by design or arrangement and the area has been split apart with
various commercial businesses. He noted that the other homes are also quite small (800-900
square feet)and it would be difficult to find someone that would be willing to invest in and rehabilitate
such small homes.
Commissioner Stewart said she had overlooked the size of the homes. She commented that the
City now has the Etiwanda/Base Line Historic Study Task Force that is trying to get more significant
historic homes moved into the historic area. She noted that she wants to be cautious about
destroying homes that may have merit and at the same time post a plaque giving Klusman
recognition and then not do the appropriate thing by destroying homes. She remarked that she
believes the Task Force will want the relocation of the Craftsman house.
Mr. Buller responded and noted that we(the City)do not want to see a loss of our historic resources
because of relocation or rehabilitation costs. He remarked that the other homes moved to the
Northtown area are larger and that this particular group of homes not being considered to be
relocated or restored tonight are not recommended for preservation because of their small size and
because their architecture is not representative of the historic element found in Etiwanda and even
the one on 9494 may not be the appropriate age or size for the Etiwanda area.
Rhonda Kneeley,, John Laing Homes, 255 East Rincon Street, Corona, stated that they had '
contacted the Northtown Housing Development representatives to discuss their possible interest in
the old homes. She remarked that their only interest was in the Craftsman home at 9494. She
added that they would continue to work with staff on Commissioner Stewart's suggestion. She
HPC Minutes -2- April 14, 2004
added that there are other conditions that they are requesting to be revised including the conditions
found on pages 113, 128, and 130, A-C of the agenda packet, which, with the revisions, will
specifically allow the building permits for the model homes to be issued prior to; 1)the processing of
the Vacation of 2nd Avenue; 2)the recording of the final Tract Map; 3) the recording of the CC&Rs
and Articles of Incorporation of the Homeowner's Association, and 4) the submission of the Street
Improvement Plans.
Chairman Macias opened the public hearing.
Douglas Pure, 7970 Layton Street, Rancho Cucamonga, commented that he is excited and happy
with the new proposed project over the project proposed a year ago. He remarked that he likes the
design and believes the project will enhance the property values adjacent to the project. He
commented that the developer was responsive to their concerns regarding public safety and he is
pleased they are putting in a traffic signal at the intersection of San Bernardino Road and Archibald
Avenue. He pointed out that a number of people were in attendance at the meeting with him and he
asked them to stand showing their support of the project(5 people stood). He reported that this is a
democratic process and that it works well. He noted for the benefit of the high school students in
attendance that when the previous project was proposed for this site, 400 people came out in
opposition. He remarked that if you are going to come out and complain about a project thatyou also
have the responsibility to come out in support (of a good project).
Gilbert McCoy, 9340 Foothill Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he and his wife own Foothill
Mobile Manor trailer park. He reported that he is supportive and excited about the new project. He
said the project will make a wonderful neighbor and should help with the difficulties they now
experience with drug activity on the property and people jumping the fence who cause damage to the
trailer park. He added that many of the residents were in attendance in support of the project and
' that he said of the 90 units in the park, there is almost 100 percent support of approval for the
project.
Jayme Walinga, 11357 Mountain View Drive,#132, Rancho Cucamonga, asked fora definition ofthe
term "seller/salvage" and if the home became a Historic landmark, would the designation keep that
from happening.
Commissioner Stewart explained that it is her understanding that if the home is not sold then the
home could be dismantled and sold off in pieces. She noted an example would be that someone
could come and buy the bathroom fixtures and someone else might buy the doors or hardware from
the house. She said specifically that they are considering relocating the home at 9494 at the least
and to consider the feasibility of relocating all of them. She added that the Point of Interest requires
the developer to place a commemorative plaque but does not require the preservation or habilitation
of the structures.
Krystal Hereford, 10730 Church Street,#88, Rancho Cucamonga, asked if the home at 9494 Foothill
Boulevard is the largest of the homes in question. She asked what would be accomplished if the six
residences are relocated or demolished and if that would that bring in more executives or businesses
to the area.
Chairman Macias closed the public hearing.
Mr. Buller responded and explained why would we remove or demolish several homes. He explained
that because these homes front the Old Route 66, it is no longer an appropriate place for single-
family detached homes. He added that our goal is to build projects that are good neighbors to the
existing residences and businesses and that as old homes are removed,they are replaced with new
stock that are designed to be better neighbors. He commented that along Foothill Boulevard, we
give a little to get better development for the community. He noted that this project will provide more
HPC Minutes -3- April 14, 2004
homes for families and they are designed to be more compatible with the businesses that are now
located along Foothill Boulevard and they will benefit the businesses as well.
Commissioner Stewart commented that she believes it is a good project although she never really
was a proponent of the"motor court"concept, but she is in favor of this one because it is mixed use
and Foothill Boulevard needs some attention in that area and the design thematically reflects Route
66 with the motor court concept. She added that a condition of the project requires the developer to
place commemorative plaques along Foothill Boulevard that point out the significance of Route 66.
She added that she appreciated the neighbors' participation and their support.
Commissioner McNiel said he felt is it a good project. Mr. McNiel asked if there is a perimeter block
wall between the single-family home section and the condominium section. He also asked the
developer to be conscientious about keeping the construction dust down and being mindful of the
allowable hours for construction.
Mr. Buller reported that the project has been designed to actually integrate the two sections of the
project and therefore there is no block wall separating them.
Commissioner Fletcher stated that he is in agreement with the other Commissioners and that he is
thrilled and glad about the support of the neighbors and it shows the applicant worked well with them
and addressed their concerns. He added that the new project ties in with the Route 66 motor courts
and the 18 single-family homes provide an excellent transition to the condo project and is excellent
for the homeowners along San Bernardino Road. He added that the visual enhancement would help
revitalize Foothill Boulevard and the west end part of the City.
Commissioner McNiel added that he agrees with Commissioner Stewart in regard to the residence at
9494 Foothill Boulevard and that we should do whatever we canto preserve it. He commented that '
we had several homes in the City we attempted to preserve that were never relocated; one was up
on blocks and eventually it fell apart. He commented that he only has a real interest in the
Craftsman home. He noted that he understands why we do not have interest in the other homes.
Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney, asked if there is any direction or clarification from Engineering
and if the changes to the engineering conditions mentioned would meet with their approval.
Betty Miller, Associate Engineer, stated that allowing Building Permits to be issued for the model
homes prior to the other conditions being met is not an uncommon request and that it would be
acceptable.
Mr. Buller commented that it has been a"good marriage"with John Laing Homes and commended
them for working with the neighborhood and for the neighborhood working with John Laing Homes.
He thanked them and Mrs. Kneeley for their hard work.
Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Stewart, to recommend approval of Historic Point of

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, 12996 Victoria Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, observed that Jane Morgan
lived on Morgan Ranch in one of the houses that burned down in October. He said that Morgan
Ranch is comprised of 5 or 6 acres and it will probably be subdivided and developed in the future.
He thought that when the property is developed it would be appropriate to recognize Morgan Ranch
through naming of a road in that area. He noted that years ago a listing of appropriate historic
names was compiled and many of those names have been used but not in the area of the
corresponding historic significance. He felt this is a disservice to future generations and he asked
that the process be reviewed. Mr. Frost Also observed that he has long maintained it was a travesty
when the Historic Preservation Commission was disbanded and its duties were given to the Planning
Commissioners because the Commissioners are too busy to do an adequate job for both
Commissions. He felt the result is that the City is no longer proactive with respect to historic
preservation.
Vice Chairman McNiel concurred with W'Frost with respect to-the comment that historic items
sometimes get lost in the shuffle because of the other things they have to do. He asked if staff
(Larry Henderson) would research and prepare a report for the Commission with respect to street
naming.

' the Planning Commission meeting was pulled at the request of the applicant; therefore, the

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND HISTORIC POINT OF INTEREST DESIGNATION
DRC2003-01048 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to designate the Pioneer
Winery, located at 8812 Haven Avenue as an Historic Point of Interest in order to allow
demolition of all buildings and structures on the property-APNm 0209-131-02.
Lori Shriver, Planning Aide, presented the staff report. She indicated that several proposed changes
to the Resolution of Approval had been placed in front of the Commissioners to the environmental
mitigations including the removal of the requirement for measured drawings of the buildings and
clarification of the environmental language and monitoring responsibilities.
Paul Hofer, Hofer Properties, LLC, 11248 South Turner Avenue, Ontario, stated he is the applicant
and was available to answer any questions.
Chairman Macias opened the public hearing.
Nacho Gracia, 10364 Humboldt Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he supports the proposal
because residents living near the edge of the parcel experience problems with large quantities of
' sand blowing onto their property during the windy season.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Macias closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Stewart commented that she is very sorry to see this historic site go because it is part
of our history. She was pleased that there would be an effort to have some of the items of historical
value preserved for a museum. She requested that when it comes time to place the historical
placard, that historical items could be incorporated with that. She requested that it be more than a
bronze plaque inlaid into a stone.
Commissioner Fletcher also asked that perhaps historical items could be incorporated into future
development in addition to the plaque. He indicated a resident asked him why the City would make
an historic designation if the buildings are to be tom down. He commented that the buildings have
been there for many years and many are unaware that old winery buildings were there. He noted
they are partially hidden by the trees and hard to see when driving by. He remarked that until
someone takes the time to stop and point out the history and importance, people might not knowthe
significance. He supported the designation.
Commissioner McPhail concurred and remarked it was sad to lose some of the buildings but
unfortunately they have not been maintained and are a safety hazard. She commented that future
development should reflect the architecture and history of the old winery to create a special place.
Chairman Macias commented that it was the general consensus of the Commissioners that
something more than a standard bronze plaque should be used to mark the site. He supported the
designation..
Motion: Moved by Stewart, seconded by Fletcher, to recommend issuance of a Negative
Declaration and to adopt the resolution approving Historic Point Of Interest Designation
DRC2003-01048, as amended regarding environmental clarification. Motion carried bythe following
vote:
AYES: FLETCHER, MACIAS, McPHAIL, STEWART '

HPC Minutes -2- August 13, 2003
Chairman Macias opened the public hearing.
Jim Manning, Manning Homes, 20151 SW Birch Street, Suite 150, Newport Beach, gave a brief
review and summary of the proposed landscape plan, noting the new landscaping around the historic
home will be in the orchard style including wrought iron gates, a rose garden, and pear trees. He
reported that he plans to re-roof, re-paint, and restore the exterior of the historic home. He
commented that the proposed bam mimics the existing bam and the design features a 3-car garage.
Commissioner McNiel asked about the current condition of the home.
Mr. Manning reported that the home is"beat up,"the interior lacks many of the historic elements that
would have been found in the original home. He noted it is inhabitable at this time but there are
some nice moldings and the original banister.
Commissioner McNiel asked if the home is preservable.
Mr. Manning indicated that only some of it is.
Commissioner Fletcher asked if the interior is restorable.
Mr. Manning stated that they will make the house habitable but they anticipate the new owners will
want to do"their own thing." He added that the new landscaping resembles that found on the Isaac
Lord historic property.
Commissioner McNiel asked the lot size.
Mr. Manning replied it is about 20,000 square feet.
Commissioner Fletcher asked the square footage of the home.
Mr. Manning responded it is about 2,000 square feet and currently has a basement, but when it is
moved, it will be placed on a new raised foundation.
Chairman Macias closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Stewart supported the plan and said she applauds the developerfor providing a fitting
landscape. She said she is happy with the details.
Commissioner McNiel agreed with Commissioner Stewart and stated they did a fine job on the plan.
He believed the new location of the historic home would be better in relation to the Demens-Tolstoy
property.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2003-00648 —CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA-A request to
designate the Goeditz property as a Designated Local Landmark, located at 9893 Highland Avenue-
APN: 1076-051-02 and 03.
Lori Shriver, Planning Aide gave the staff report and noted that a condition has been added requiring
Planning Staff to review the final landscape plans before they go out to bid. She also noted that the
swimming pool has been excluded from the historic value of the property and therefore the wording
in the Resolution of Approval will be modified to reflect the deletion.
Chairman Macias opened the public hearing.
Scott Dexter, representing the Brethren in Christ Church, located adjacent to the property in
question, stated that because of vacations and staff leaves, he has not had the opportunity to
thoroughly review the City's conditions. He indicated that they just received a copy of the staff report
today. He added that he has questions about the project and that he preferred not to take the
Commission's time during the meeting to have a discussion and therefore requested a continuance
to allow time for a thorough review.
Commissioner Stewart asked what the church's intentions are for the property.
Mr. Dexter stated that they are preparing a Master Plan and that the likely uses would be as a retreat
site and for other uses for their church. He stated that they would prefer a continuance so that they
can refine their plans and to further discuss the project with Caltrans.
Commissioner McNiel stated that with a Landmark Designation, it places the property in a reduced
tax status and also some restrictions may apply to its future use. He surmised that the church is
asking for a continuance on the basis of the speculation for its future use as it pertains to the church.
He asked for counsel to comment on the legitimacy of their position.
Mr. Dexter stated that his request is for a short extension so that they can verify that the maps
attached to the staff report are consistent with their understanding of how the property would be
transferred to the church. He also stated that they had not reviewed the conditions of approval and
that they want to be sure they are consistent with their understanding of the condition of the property.
He added that he did not feel it would prejudice the City to do so.
Kevin Ennis,Assistant City Attorney, stated the issue before the Commission in connection with Mr.
Dexter's request is whether or not the church as a potential purchaser would be able to live with the
restrictions of having the residence, garage, mature landscaping and stone walls preserved in their
original configuration and condition given their proposed Master Plan. He commented that it sounds
like they need to reconcile their plan with the possibility of having these elements restricted from
modification. He indicated a continuance is at the Commission's discretion.
Commissioner McNiel asked if Mr. Dexter's request applies to this designation,or if it really applies to
their decision to purchase the property.
Mr. Ennis stated that if these components are designated as a landmark, then if their Master Plan
conflicts with the designation, then their Master Plan will have to be modified. He noted that the
issue would be if their plan of acquisition contemplates this, and if it does not, then they would have
to apply for modification. Mr. Ennis concluded that it is the Commission's task to determine if the
property meets the designation criteria and if they can make those findings then it is in the
Commissions discretion and power to make the designation.
Chairman Macias stated that the designation of the property does not necessarily preclude what they
want to do.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the church is close to actually acquiring the property.
Mr. Dexter stated they are very close and that they enjoy a good working relationship with the City,
Caltrans and SANBAG and that he felt it unfortunate that they could not discuss the designation with
staff prior to the meeting. He added that the designation could potentially delay the negotiations. He
added that if the City chooses to adopt the Landmark Designation then he noted for the record that
HPC Minutes -2- July 23, 2003
the church would reserve its rights under the Government Code section that exempts churches
under the Landmark Preservation Ordinance. He again asked for a continuance.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, clarified that the Commission's action is not final and is only a
recommendation to the City Council and that it would be approximately 4 weeks before the Council
would take final action giving staff time to discuss it with the church. He also noted that the State
Office of Historic Preservation has pushed this forward and they feel that before negotiations for the
purchase of the property are concluded that it must go through the Local Landmark process and
therefore have some type of protection. He added that negotiations would be ongoing with Caltrans
even with the action taken this evening.
Mr. Dexter noted that the church is not objecting to the Landmark Designation.
Mr. Ennis noted that the church is not the current owner of the property and that it applies to Caltrans
as the property owner.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman Macias closed the public hearing.
Commissioner McNiel stated the designation makes sense. He commented on the historic value
and significance of the property for the community. He noted that he feels the usability of it for the
church's benefit is immaterial.
Commissioner Stewart concurred with Commissioner McNiel's comments and moved to recommend
approval of the designation as amended by staff.
' Chairman Macias agreed with his colleagues and reiterated that the time until the final action by the
City Council will not be detrimental to the church. He noted that the Commission has in the past has
been very supportive of this type of action.
Motion: Moved by Stewart, seconded by McNiel, carried 5-0 to recommend approval of the
Landmark Designation with the amended conditions as noted by staff and to forward the item to the
City Council for final action.

the house.
Chairman McNiel responded that a study had already been done that looked at that aspect.
There were no further public comments.
Commissioner Mannerino stated he understands that not everything can be saved and not
everything has historical significance. He questioned the need for expediency to allow removal of
the house. He felt the Etiwanda Historical Society should have had a chance to look at the house.
Brad Buller, City Planner, indicated the Etiwanda Historical Society had been notified and was aware
of the proposed action before the Commission. He said he had made a personal call to Jim and
Marsha Banks because he knew they had been considering adding a second structure to their
property and he told them this structure may be available. Mr. Buller indicated the house will have to
be moved or demolished in order to start the development project but he did not know the
developer's timeline.
With respect to the proposed apartment complex that would be coming before the Commission,
Chairman McNiel noted this property has vacant land on both sides. He asked how far north and '
south the project will be built.
Mr. Coury stated an application is in process.
Mr. Buller stated the Commission approved the project that surrounds the site earlier this year.
Chairman McNiel asked if this is an in-fill project.
Commissioner Stewart believed the house has had a number of structural changes.
Mr. Coury stated changes were made to the front porch and garage.
Commissioner Stewart felt the structure has age, but not other criteria to be designated a historical
landmark. She indicated she understood the tenants'position and agreed there is some sentimental
value.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt the appearance of the house is not one of age with the exception of the
foundation,which is rock. He noted the chimney is not even rock. He acknowledged that the house
was built in the 1930s but said it appears like it was built in the 1940s or early 1950s. He did not feel
there are significant criteria to designate it a landmark.
Commissioner Mannerino felt the Etiwanda Historical Society is a rather prudent group and he noted
the Society had not expressed an opinion that the house needs to be saved.
Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Tolstoy, to direct staff to update the City Historic Site
List to change the status of 7938 Etiwanda Avenue to Survey Determined Insignificant. Motion
carried by the following vote:

227-121-35; and 227-141-64 and 78.
Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, presented the staff report and indicated that the San Bernardino
Associated Governments(SANBAG)had requested two revisions to the resolution. He suggested a
' statement be added to the resolution to indicate that re-establishment of rail service would be
consistent with the purposes of the landmark designation: He also suggested clarification that
construction, alteration, or demolition may occur as proposed by the current Pacific Electric Inland
Empire Trail Master Plan and that no further approvals would be required for those actions.
Vice Chairman Macias asked if staff was comfortable with the revisions proposed by SANBAG.
Mr. Coleman responded affirmatively and said they had been reviewed and approved by the City
Attorney.
Commissioner Stewart asked if there would be future designations for any structures along the trail,
such as the bridges.
Mr. Coleman replied that the City does not envision designation of any of the bridges.
Vice Chairman Macias opened the public hearing.
Mike Bair, Director of Transit Rail Programs, SANBAG, 427 North Arrowhead Avenue, San
Bernardino, indicated they support the proposed designation in order to protect the corridor. He
thought the designation might help preserve the right for rail use in the future.

Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Stewart, to adopt the resolution recommending
approval of Historic Landmark Designation DRC2002-00214 with the modifications suggested by

A. FOOTHILL BOULEVARD/ROUTE 66 VISUAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT—CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA-Review the Draft Historical Resources Clearance Report for Foothill Boulevard
between Grove and Vineyard Avenues and direct Staff to update the City Historic Site List.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report. He said the most significant finding
was that the current railway bridge overpass is not the original bridge, but was constructed during a
widening project in 1929, at which time the original 1913 bridge was removed. He observed there
are two other 1913 bridges intact elsewhere in the City;therefore, it is recommended that the bridge
on Foothill Boulevard be a Historic Point of Interest rather than a Landmark.
Chairman McNiel asked what the timeline is for the Foothill Boulevard widening project.
Mr. Henderson replied it is a two-year project.
Chairman McNiel asked if there were any enlightening findings in the course of the investigation.
Mr. Henderson responded not as significant as the bridge. He said there were several sites that had '
not been identified in the past such as the Red Hill Coffee Shop and several houses on Red Hill
Country Club Drive that were identified,which do not appearto be individually historic at this time but
perhaps could be part of an historic district as the houses get older.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Hearing no comments, he closed the hearing.
Commissioner Mannerino stated he had not known the original Magic Lamp building was built in
1941.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2001-00369-JOSEPH AND J. L.WALKER-An application to
designate the Krysto Ranch House and property as a Historic Landmark, located at 5917
Archibald Avenue-APN: 201-152-15.
Shonda Bello, Planning Aide, gave the staff report.
Chairman McNiel asked if there were any comments or questions on the report.
Commissioner Tolstoy commented that Ms. Bello did an exceptionaljob on researching the historical
information for the report.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing and explained that the item before the Commission is a
Landmark Designation for the purpose of preserving the historical integrity of the structure and that
no other applications have been submitted for the property to date.
Annette DeBellefaille, P.O. Box 1853, Lake Arrowhead, stated she was speaking on behalf of the
Citizens for Responsible Planning and Neighborhood Preservation, also represented by the law
offices of James D.Aguilera. She presented a sealed letter from James D.Aguilera to the Secretary
for the record. Ms. DeBellefaille then reviewed the concerns noted in the letter including Mr.
Aguilera's contention that the City staff is fully aware of the applicant's intent to apply for a
Conditional Use Permit for the purpose of using the property commercially. She noted the Very Low
Residential zoning of the property and that designated historical structures could be used for"other
than" residential purposes, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. She indicated her belief that City
staff is helping the owners "jump start"a commercial property to get around a residential use. She
contended that the CEQA categorical exemption does not apply because of the City's prior
knowledge of the applicant's intent to apply for a Conditional Use Permit for a non-residential use.
She added that neighbors have complained about noise, traffic and parking associated with
receptions held on the property. She stated that their association educates elected officials about
CEQA requirements to ensure the statute is followed and supports historic preservation and seeks to
avoid encroachment of noncompatable uses into residential neighborhoods. She claimed that an
EIR is required now and asked that the Historic Landmark Designation be declined forthe time being
until Mr. Aguilera's letter is reviewed and that the issue be discussed with the City s legal counsel.
Hearing no further comment, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the matter of the Landmark Designation is sent to
the City Council as a recommendation and that City Council will make the final determination. He
added that the Code requires findings with respect to that designation, which are found both in the
staff report and resolution regarding the history, architecture and prior use of the structure. He
added that the Historic Preservation Commission only makes a determination as to whether the
structure meets those criteria and that if future applications are made,then those applications will be
considered at that time. He explained that the applicant is not required to submit all applications at
one time and that staff is not aware of other applications at this time and no other applications have '
been submitted. He noted that the property does qualify for the exemption for the Landmark
Designation action under the CEQA guidelines. He added that if and when applications for an
alternate use are submitted, then the use would have to be independently analyzed for CEQA.
Chairman McNiel asked, of the Designated Historic Landmarks in the City, how many are used for
commercial purposes.
Ms. Bello responded that 6 or 7 of the 65 sites are used commercially, approximately 10 percent.
Chairman McNiel stated that based upon his experience, the designation of a property as a Historic
Landmark does not necessarily mean it will then be approved for a commercial use.
Brad Buller, City Planner, explained that until project applications are received,the only matter before
the Commission is the Landmark Designation and that staff has explained the meaning of the
designation to the applicant and that they are aware that alternate uses are available under that
designation, but that is considered a separate matter. He added that the Commission would pursue
the designation status because of the facts presented, but that any other uses forthe property will be
within the purview of the Historic Preservation Commission and the City Council.
Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing and concurred that because of the history and data
provided about the property, it certainly qualifies for Landmark Designation.
Commissioner Tolstoy added that when the owners of the Demens/Tolstoy house requested a
commercial use they were turned down and that the Landmark Designation does not guarantee
approval for another use.
HPC Minutes -2- August 8, 2001
Brad Buller explained that if any applications for other uses are received, the surrounding residents
to the property will be noticed and the meetings will be open to the public. He added that a
neighborhood meeting would also be held and that staff, the Commission, and the City Council cares
' about the concerns of the residents surrounding the property and that public input is vital. He noted
that because of the agricultural heritage of the City, structures like this one are often found scattered
around in residential neighborhoods.
Kevin Ennis emphasized that the action is a recommendation and that City Council makes the final
action.
Brad Buller added what a pleasure it has been to have Shonda Bello working with us as a Planning
Aide. He added that she has been an asset to the Planning Division, especially with her work on
historical issues.
Motion: Moved by Macias, seconded by Stewart, carried—4-0-1 (Mannerino absent), to approve
the recommendation forthe"Krysto House"as a Historic Landmark and for the item to be forwarded
to the City Council for final action.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Debbie Gilson, 6626 Etiwanda Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, expressed concern regarding the
cavalier attitude of the Commission in considering an amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
She felt the transfer of density was not appropriate and asked if the entire area was being rezoned.
She said the Etiwanda Specific Plan is the rulebook designed to safeguard the environmental '
conditions and the uniqueness of Etiwanda. She thought that the negative impacts of development
were considered when the Plan was passed in 1983 and it should not be changed and developers
should bend to the rulebook. She feared that if the Plan is changed, it will erode the community.
Chairman McNiel responded that all specific plans are living documents,which are not rigid and have
room for flexibility. He stated that if a rigid rulebook were established for development, it would stifle
all development. He agreed the City needs to move forth with caution and needs to consider what
was adopted in 1983 but said the document is not etched in stone.

Brad Buller, City Planner, suggested that Chairman McNiel call the Planning Commission meeting to
order and hear items A, B, and C with Historic Preservation Commission items A and B.
Debra Meier, Contract Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman McNiel asked if it was suggested that the items be continued to a specific date.
Ms. Meier responded that was not known.
Commissioner Mannerino asked if it was suggested that the Commission have a discussion without
knowing which submission the applicant intends to pursue. He questioned what had been submitted
and what the Commission had seen.
Commissioner Macias concurred with Commission Mannerino that he did not wish to waste the
Commission's time or the public's time.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Rick Gomez, Forma, 17500 Red Hill Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, stated he was representing Colorado
Pacific. He said they would like to move forward with the original application before the Commission ,
but they presented an alternate option to address some of the concerns raised by the residents so
that time would not be lost.
Commissioner Mannerino stated he was confused. He asked if the applicant intends to sit down with
staff and the community. He suggested that the matter come to the Commission after that meeting
had taken place.
Mr. Gomez responded they prefer the original project which was presented in the package. He
suggested that the Commission listen to public testimony and direct the applicant to work with staff
and the community if it feels the concerns raised by the public would warrant that direction.
Commissioner Mannerino didn't feel the Commission could give proper direction. He felt it was
premature to hear testimony and he thought it was a hollow gesture since the applicant had
submitted an alternate plan different from what was on the agenda.
Chairman McNiel commented the applicant presented a project through the Design Review
Committee and Technical Review Committee and then met with the local community, at which time it
appears some red flags were raised. He observed that an alternate plan was then submitted which
has not been processed but the applicant has asked the Commission to proceed with the original
plan submitted. He agreed it may be a moot point.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the public had an opportunity to look at the alternate plan in a public
meeting.
Mr. Gomez responded negatively. He explained it had been discussed with a few individuals but the
residents had not seen it collectively. He said Colorado Pacific was trying to move forward rapidly
and he apologized for any confusion.
HPC Minutes -2- July 11, 2001
Commissioner Tolstoy indicated he understood there was a mix-up with the meeting room schedule
at the first public meeting with the residents and they met on the sidewalk.
Mr. Gomez confirmed that was correct. He said the School District would not let them meet on the
property, so they met with the residents on the sidewalk.
Commissioner Tolstoy said he understood, but he did not feel that was the same as having a sit-
down meeting. He noted the City always recommends that developers have a neighborhood
meeting to explain the project. He thought they should have the public meeting first and he did not
want to hear the objections of residents if the project is not going to be processed as submitted.
Mr. Gomez agreed the opportunity to hear from the public was less than optimal. He indicated they
distributed handouts with graphics and a site map to the 20-25 people who showed up.
Commissioner Macias asked if the new alternative would change the environmental assessment of
the project.
Ms. Meier responded that the impacts would be less; therefore, the Initial Study would more than
address them.
Commissioner Macias said there was clearly some confusion and that the applicant had not
conducted a valid meeting with the residents. He agreed with Commissioner Mannerino that it was a
moot point, but he felt it was the duty of the Commission to hear public testimony.
Commissioner Stewart agreed with Commissioner Macias.
Mr. Gomez stated the project had been advertised as a public hearing and he said the applicant
' would like to have the hearing.
Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Macias, to continue the items along with the public
testimony until staff had an opportunity to digest both plans.
Commissioner Mannerino suggested that the public should hold theirtestimony unless they could not
be at the meeting at the continued date.
Chairman McNiel asked for direction from counsel since public testimony had not been taken and
there had been no presentation by the developer.
Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney, stated the Commission could legally continue the matter to
another date, or to an unspecified date if re-advertised, He indicated the Commission could direct
the applicant to hold a public meeting. He said the Commission could open the public hearing and
continue the matter without taking any testimony whatsoever.
Commissioner Macias said he seconded Commissioner Mannerino's motion because he wanted the
public to have an opportunity to attend a public neighborhood meeting.
Mr. Ennis said it was his understanding the motion was to authorize limited public testimony only
from those individuals who felt they could not come back to a future meeting after the community
meeting. He stated that if the applicant withdraws the application, that would make the matter moot.
He noted the City would have to act on the application as originally submitted unless the applicant
withdraws it or specifies a modification.
Brad Buller, City Planner, confirmed that a new plan had been submitted to the City on Tuesday and
staff had distributed it to other departments but there had not been time for the plan to be reviewed
as yet. He said staff felt it would be fair for the Commission to continue the items but also allow the
HPC Minutes -3- July 11, 2001
residents to comment. He suggested a neighborhood meeting be held within seven days and the
matter be continued for two weeks. He said the developer could also withdraw their application and
re-advertise for a new hearing.
Commissioner Mannerino stated he would modify his motion to continue the items to July 25,2001.
Commissioner Macias amended the second.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if a two-week continuance would be sufficient.
Mr. Buller thought the applicant could hold a meeting, but he wasn't sure if the residents could meet
within a week. He said there should be some notice regarding the meeting.
Commissioner Tolstoy suggested the matter be continued for four weeks so that staff would have an
opportunity to prepare a staff report including the results of the neighborhood meeting.
Commissioner Macias also questioned if there was enough time for staff to evaluate the project and
include the evaluation in the agenda packets.
Chairman McNiel felt there would be sufficient time if the applicant proceeds with what was originally
proposed.
Commissioner Stewart felt there was so much new information that the matter must be continued.
She noted the developer had expressed a desire to process their original proposal. She wanted to
hear some testimony from the residents regarding their concerns.
Commissioner Mannerino felt the applicant could conduct a community meeting and would then
know in two weeks if they wish to go forward with the original proposal. He said the items could '
again be continued if the project was not ready at that time.
Mr. Gomez said they would like to meet with the residents.
Commissioner Mannerino requested that residents not speak if they would be able to attend the July
25, 2001, meeting.

NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE - carried
Kelly Chase, 13215 Catalpa Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated notices were sent on June 29 that a
meeting would be held in a tent on July 5; however, when the residents arrived on July 5, they were
told that the City advised them to cancel the meeting because of the possibility of thunderstorms.
She stated they had been told tonight's meeting would not happen and they were going to go with a
new plan. She felt there should only be 65 homes instead of the 139 they were requesting.
David Wong, 132021 Vista Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he is just south of the proposed
development. He believed the developer had not cleared the meeting at the school and said they
were then advised another meeting would be held in a tent. He said about 30 residents showed up
but the developer did not. He acknowledged that a tract will be built but said the developer informed
them that the previously approved plan would be built. He indicated his greatest concern was not
density, but drainage. He questioned what would happen with the water coming down from the
catch basin. He said the School Board is concerned about where the water will go and felt a
HPC Minutes -4- July 11, 2001
drainage system is need to take the water out. He questioned the number of phases and asked how
much the lives of existing residents will be disrupted.
Enrique Munol, 6658 Etiwanda Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that if a different set of plans is
presented in the future, the residents have the right to speak out again. He felt it was a waste of
everyone's time to have the hearing when the developer did not even know what the plan will be.
Laurette Allen, 13054 Larrera Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, expressed concern that waterwill drain
down Pecan Avenue. She reported that a recent 20-minute rainstorm resulted in standing water
from curb to curb. She said her second concern was traffic. She felt there will be unbearable traffic
from 2:30-3:30 p.m. with the number of students in the area. She believed that the Kemp House
should be restored to its former glory if it is moved. She preferred a park on Etiwanda Avenue. Ms.
Allen noted that the area is currently zoned for up to two houses per acre and she felt that should be
the maximum permitted. She said there had been two meetings of the residents with 60 people
showing up at them.
Candice Fowler, 13205 Catalpa Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that meetings had been called
on two separate nights. She said that residents showed up but the developer had not. She thought
a neighborhood meeting should be held. She believed most residents want lower density. She said
they have been promised a number of things by Mr. Brose including only 90 homes and a park.
Ishmael Flores, 13060 Vista Street, Rancho Cucamonga, expressed concern about the drainage
basin which will be built directly behind his fence. He did not feel his family will be safe if the basin is
built there. He also was concerned about children traveling on Highland Avenue to and from school.
Jim Banks, 13181 Victoria Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, concurred with the other residents
' regarding concerns about drainage, traffic, and the historic house. He stated that the Etiwanda
Specific Plan allows for greater density if certain amenities are created and the intent was to keep
the amenity with the density. He cautioned against separating the amenity from the density and
hoped that a distance limit would be imposed if the City should approve the Etiwanda Specific Plan
Amendment.

Shonda Bello, Planning Aide, presented the staff report.
Chairman McNiel stated he heartily approved of the application. He noted the house had fallen into
disrepair. He thought Ms. Bello did an excellent job in preparing the report and providing the history.
Commissioner Tolstoy thought moving the house on rollers was quite an engineering feat. He
observed that the Chaffey Garcia House was restored in large part to the efforts of Jim Clark. He
said Mr. Clark did all of the planning, oversaw the work, and did a lot of the work. He hoped the
Etiwanda Historical Societywill install a plaque at the Chaffey Garcia House acknowledging hiswork.
He requested that the Historic Preservation Commission send a letter suggesting some type of
permanent plaque be displayed to honor Mr. Clarks efforts. He also hoped Mr. Clark would be
involved in the restoration of the Isle House.
The other Commissioners concurred with sending such a letter,
Brad Buller, City Planner, indicated staff would prepare a letter for the Chairman's signature.

A. REVIEW OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12150 6TH STREET-
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA-An application to review a property for potential change of
status on the Historical Resource Survey listing -APN: 229-283-23.
Emily Wimer, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing but there were no comments and he closed the public
hearing. He said it was his understanding there have been several alterations in the structure and it
no longer represents what it once represented.
Ms. Wimer confirmed that was correct and said there have been interior modifications to
accommodate the warehousing/manufacturing use and the actual attributes of the building are not
considered of historic significance. She said when the property was reviewed in 1990, the only
historical significance was the wooden bridge which has since been replaced with concrete and
wrought iron by Caltrans.
Commissioner Tolstoy thought the property had been placed on the list when almost all properties
which had any connection to the winery business were listed. He said this property only had
significance for a year or two and he felt it was placed on the list without much perusal. He thought it
should be removed from the list.
Commissioner Stewart agreed with removing the property from the listing.
Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Macias,to direct staff to modify the Historical Resources
Survey listing to show a Survey Determined Insignificant level. Motion carried by the following vote:

FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION-Consider plans to rehabilitate, and re-orientate the Landmark
designated Alta Loma Honor Roll, located at 6627 Amethyst Avenue - APN: 202-101-11.
Related File: Landmark Designation 138.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner presented the staff report and noted that the applicant name
should be changed to Rancho Cucamonga Professional Firefighters Association. He also noted the
honor rolls will be made into bronze plaques.
Sam Spagnolo, Fire Captain, stated members of the community contacted them to see what could
be done to upgrade the structure. He said it was decided it would be a community project and a few
newspaper articles have generated additional interest. He said they have been selling
commemorative bricks at $70 each. He indicated he had brochures available, which give a brief
history of the honor roll and contains applications to purchase bricks.
Chairman McNiel asked when construction would start.
Mr. Spagnolo replied there had been some wind damage and they have started to take down parts.
He said they hope to start construction within a week and plan to dedicate the honor roll on
November 9, 2000.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, stated he remembered when the honor roll was in a different location. He
showed a picture of the Etiwanda Honor Roll which was originally located in the auditorium at the
Etiwanda School and is now kept in the bam at the Chaffey Garcia House. He said City residents
provided a tremendous contribution to the war effort. He said the honor roll listings encompass
surrounding community members as1well. He noted that the brochure talks about the restoration and
he wanted to give credit to Cad Smith who placed the the roof on the existing honor roll in 1981 and
refused to take any public acknowledgement. He was thrilled the Fire Fighters Association has taken
on the restoration because he felt that meant it will be maintained and protected in the future. On
behalf of the City, he expressed appreciation to the Fire Fighters Association.
Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney, suggested revision to the resolution to clarify that the
application is exempt from CEQA as a Class 1 exempt project pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
pursuant to Section 15301.

DIRECTORS REPORTS
A. UPDATE OF THE HISTORIC LANDMARK AND POINT OF INTEREST PLAQUE PROGRAM
Shonda Bello, Planning Aide, presented the report.
Commissioner Macias asked if the plaque and mailbox would face the street or the residence.
Ms. Bello stated it would face the street. '
Commissioner Stewart asked if the plaque could be mounted in some otherway and where it would
be placed, or if the homeowner would be limited to the mailbox presentation.
Ms. Bello replied that the ownerwould have a choice of mounting methods; i.e., on the house or on
their own mailbox.
Chairman McNiel asked if that decision is subject to approval.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that it is subject to approval.
Commissioner Tolstoy interjected that he felt the location of the plaque should be subject to approval
because the plaque should be located where the public can see it, rather than mounted on the
house, possibly hidden by bushes.
Chairman McNiel asked if any information about the historic property would be on the plaque other
than the name of the site.
Ms. Bello replied only the name would be on the plaque.
Chairman McNiel asked if additional information could be added to the plaque. He expressed
concern that someone visiting the City might see the plaque, but not know why it was placed without
additional information or history given on the plaque.
Mr. Buller stated that the goal was to come up with suitable identifiable markers for all the sites that ,
are legible and stay within the budget of$20,000. He added that this is the initial start up program
that the City will support, and they can look at alternatives that offer more of a description at a later
date. He added that the homeowner is given the option to have a larger plaque on a large rock at
their expense.
Chairman McNiel asked if additional information could be placed on the other sides of the mailbox or
if something else could be done that would be more descriptive of the property.
Mr. Buller noted that they could go back to the contractor and ask if additional information could be
added to plaques on additional sides of the mailbox.
Chairman McNiel replied that he felt that makes more sense because the plaque being presented
does not give much information.
Commission Tolstoy suggested that the plaque could have an additional statement that states further
information about the site can be obtained at City Hall, and that way people would at least know
where they could find out more information about the site even if it is in smaller letters. He also said
that he appreciates the help of service organizations that volunteer to help with the installation of
these projects, such as the Boy Scouts of America, but that he wants the plaques installed with
some City help and supervision to ensure a quality job. Commissioner Tolstoy also suggested that if
there are sites being improved by a developer, the plaque for those sites should be large and should
be required as part of their conditions. He noted specific sites such as the post office commissioned
by Lincoln and where the old Campos cottages were on Foothill Boulevard.
Mr. Buller responded that the developers for commercial projects are required to go far beyond this
standard plaque program. .
HPC Minutes -2- June 14, 2000
1
Commissioner Tolstoy felt the requirement should be written in as part of this program and into the
' agreement.
Commissioner Macias stated that a caveat is needed to preclude a developer of a commercial
project from attempting to minimize his effort by using this minimal program as opposed to what
Commissioner Tolstoy suggested; a larger, more prominent plaque display.
Mr. Buller asserted that every project is subject to review by the Commission and that the City can
require whatever level of mitigation and identification of historic landmarks is deemed appropriate.
Commissioner Macias asked if the mailbox was usable.
Mr. Buller stated that it may or may not be.
Commissioner Tolstoy then asked if it should only be used for residential historic sites.
Mr. Buller replied that there are some commercial uses of residential homes that could use them, but
that a different plaque system would be used in a commercial center.
Commissioner Tolstoy pointed out as an example, the winery on Haven Avenue could for some
reason in the future become a housing tract, and if it did, a plaque should be placed in the housing
tract. He felt that there are some instances where an important site could be located in a residential
area.
Mr. Buller pointed out that this example applies at the Fu-Mai tract where a labor camp once stood,
' and subsequently'the residential project was conditioned to create an entry element that would
include a plaque and architectural feature.
Commissioner Tolstoy expressed concern that they should be careful to cover all the bases when
they discuss historic sites.
Mr. Buller commented that they would take into consideration their suggestions about ensuring a
quality installation and that they would also look into adding more text to the plaques where feasible
and to also note that this program does not apply to commercial designation projects
Motion: Moved by Tolstoy, seconded by Mannerino, to adopt the program with the noted changes
and additions to have City staff supervise the installation, investigate plaques that can accommodate
more information, and review the placement of the plaques if the homeowner chooses not to use the
mailbox and to exclude commercial projects from this program. Motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: MACIAS, MANNERINO, MCNIEL, STEWART, TOLSTOY
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE carried

PUBLIC COMMENTS
COMMISSION BUSINESS
There was no additional Commission business.
The Historic Preservation Commission recessed to the Planning Commission meeting from
7:05 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION 99-02 CURRY BRANDAW ARCHITECTS - An
application to designate the Beckley house as a Local Landmark, located on the southeast
comer of Hermosa Avenue and 19th Street at 6729 Hermosa Avenue-APN: 1076-111-09.
Related files: Pre-Application Review 98-08, General Plan Amendment 99-02, Development
District Amendment 99-02, and Conditional Use Permit 99-08.
Chairman McNiel reminded the Commissioners that they had agreed to hear Item A from the
Historic Preservation agenda, Historic Landmark Designation 99-02, in conjunction with General
Plan Amendment 99-02, Development District Amendment 99-02, and Conditional Use Permit
99-08.
Sal Salazar, Associate Planner, presented the staff report and noted that he had received
favorable calls from neighbors and that one resident in opposition of the project was in
attendance.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Garth Brandaw, Holiday Retirement Homes, 2260 McGilchrist Street, SE, Suite 100, Salem,
Oregon, stated their company operates 220 retirement facilities. He commented that he felt their
plans are compatible with the other uses surrounding the project and is pleased with the fact that
they had been able to provide over 50 percent open space on the developed site as well as being
able to intertwine the historic residence and adjacent orange grove in with the development. He
added they had kept a strong residential scale to the project and that they were not nearly as '
institutional as other facilities of this kind.
Mark Hodbek, 10089 Mignonette, Rancho Cucamonga, raised concern about the Initial Study and
the related impacts. He thought this project will change the character of the neighborhood. He
noted that the PUD, apartments, and the park have all impacted the tract on the west side of
Hermosa and he did not like the idea of adding more density to the area. He felt this facility is a
commercial enterprise and that it would violate the current zoning for the site and asked for
clarification of the same. He thought public services will be significantly impacted because there
is no control of the traffic and he felt the noise impact will be severe. He added that he had
counted 13 burned out street lights and that he felt the existing neighborhood had been ignored
and dumped on. He concluded by saying he felt the project does not reflect, or is sensitive to, the
existing neighborhood.
Commissioner Macias asked how the residents would get around town.
Mr. Brandaw said that most of the residents are in their seventies or early eighties and that they
most likely would be living alone and only about 20 percent of them would still be driving and their
trips would be limited. He indicated that even if there are 2 persons in each suite, the project
would still have fewer trips than what would be used by 23 single family dwellings. He added that
the trip times for these residents is not typically during peak periods and with only 12-16 staff
members, the parking demands are low.
Mike Robbins, 9920 19th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, reported that the temple is located near
another facility of this kind and that they have been a good neighbor and that his experience with
this type of use has been good.
HPC Minutes -2- June 9, 1999
Mike Jumper, 666 Brissac Place, Rancho Cucamonga, asked how many suites would be in the
facility.
' Mr. Brandaw indicated 114 suites.
Mr. Jumper asked how you get 114 suites with a zoning of only 4-8 dwelling units per acre and
felt this might be like another apartment building with more people per acre. He added that he did
not like zoning changes.
Brad Buller, City Planner stated that some sites can have alternative land uses and that it may not
be solely based upon density depending upon the use and that the number of rooms is not related
to the land use category. He explained that with a Conditional Use Permit, which is discretionary,
the Planning Commission evaluates the project to see if it fits into the existing neighborhood. He
stated this project would not be permitted under the Low Residential category but that it can be
permitted under the Low-Medium Residential category.
Chairman McNiel commented that his Mother-in-law had resided in this kind of facility for 3-4 years
and that few people came to visit. He pointed out that the people there were always quiet,trouble
free,that they caused no problems and that it was actually a benefit to the neighborhood because
there were no calls about loud music, graffiti, or extra noise in the street. He confirmed his belief
that this is a good use.
Mr. Jumper acknowledged the point was well taken but then asked what would happen if the
developer left and if the building could become apartments or some other use at a later time or
if more units could be added at a later time. He added that he wished the property could stay the
way it is or become single family homes.
' Mr. Buller advised him that this use could not be modified and that the Conditional Use Permit
would be revoked under those circumstances.
Hubert Surki, 10223 19th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that he lives just east of this
development and that he never received notification. He reported the traffic on 19th Street is very
noisy especially at rush hour and with big rigs traveling 19th Street all day long. He cited noise
from the school traffic as well as the park traffic would not be pleasing to the residents of this
facility. He asked how far from 19th Street the facility would be as well as how many parking
spaces would be available.
Mr. Salazar responded by saying that sound mitigation would be in place and that a noise study
would be required. He also stated that one parking space for every 4 beds were required totaling
29 required spaces and that 67 spaces are provided, so that even if there were 2 beds per suite,
it would exceed the requirement.
Mr. Buller mentioned that Mr. Surki would have liked the developer to approach him and ask him
his thoughts about the project. He recalled meeting Mr. Surki at the previous Planning
Commission meeting and noted that Mr. Surki did receive the notice of the public hearing but was
hoping to meet the developer and review the plans.
Rich Underwood, 10203 Ring Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, commented that he liked the look of
' the project but wanted to know the age requirements for the residents and if there will be CC&Rs.
He also commented that one gets used to the noise but that he hopes the traffic will lighten up
after the freeway is completed, relieving some of the high use travel on 19th Street.
HPC Minutes -3- June 9, 1999
Mr. Brandaw stated that the lease agreement states 65 years of age as the minimum but due to
ADA regulations, they have to make a reasonable accommodation if for example an older person
has a spouse under the age of 65. He added that their lease provides three meals per day, '
transportation, and housekeeping and that the age of the residents is self regulating because with
those kinds of services, younger folks would generally not want to live there.
Chairman McNiel asked if it is based more upon their ability to function.
Mr. Brandaw replied that the health of the resident is determined and taken into account.
Mr. Buller noted that a condition could be placed stipulating seniors 65 years of age and above
to help regulate,but that since it is a Conditional Use Permit,we can consider additional conditions
at a later time if it should become a problem.
Chairman McNiel commented on the activities in the adjacent park and pointed out that another
facility of this type is located next to Red Hill Park on Base Line Road, which is a very busy street.
He remarked that the seniors in that facility often sit on their balconies and watch the baseball
games. He also noted that the noise study had not yet been completed.
Commissioner Macias concluded that the residents that live there will adjust to their community
just as well as anyone else. He said it is their choice to live there, it is their choice to open or close
the windows,watch tv inside, or go outside and listen to the noise. He felt they are not going there
to die but are going to go there to enjoy the remainder of their lives and they will adjust to their
community.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. '
Commissioner Stewart reported that she and Commissioner Tolstoy sat on Design Review
together for this project. She asserted that the applicant was careful to design the project to be
compatible with the neighborhood and that more senior housing is an identified need in Rancho
Cucamonga. She also noted that typically the residents travel in groups and that they use very
few cars and that with the land use change there is actually more open space than with some
other use. She remarked that this applicant was even willing to preserve a historic home and that
the Conditional Use Permit allows the Planning Commission leverage and that it can be revoked
later if it became necessary.
Motion: Moved by Stewart, seconded by Macias to recommend issuance of a Negative
Declaration of Environmental impacts and to adopt the resolutions recommending that the City
Council approve Historic Landmark Designation 99-02, General Plan Amendment 99-02,
Development District Amendment 99-02,and Conditional Use Permit 99-08. Motion carried by the

one project. They were concerned with the proposed single family land use adjacent to this property.
Redevelopment Agency/Historic Preservation/Planning Commission Minutes
January 30, 1999
Page 3
