Respectfully submitted, Date: To: From: By: Subject: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT November 15, 1995 Mayor, City Council members and City Manager William J. O'Neil, City Engineer Bob Zetterberg, Integrated Waste Coordinator WASTE OIL BLOCK GRANT RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council of Rancho Cucamonga approve a resolution for a Waste Oil Block Grant application. BACKGROUND In 1991, the Legislature passed AB 2076(Sher), the California Oil Recovery Enhancement Act(Act). The Act requires oil manufactures to pay $0.04 to the Califomia Integrated Waste Management Board for each quart of lubricating oil sold, beginning October 1, 1992. This Act includes a ten million dollar government "block grant" program. Block grant funds are available to governmental agencies to establish and administer used oil collection programs. The Block Grant funds are a non-competitive fund and have very few requirements. The requirements are; the funds must be used for Oil Recycling related programs, the City pass a resolution, and there be a certified center within the City limits. Block Grant funds are based on per capita of the City, at rate $.3169 per resident, equating to $36,110.00 for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This is the fourth Used Oil Block Grant made available to local jurisdictions. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has applied and received three previous grant funds. Through these grant funds we have distributed over two thousand used oil containers and recycled over 20,000 gallons of used oil in the past two years. In addition these funds have helped to improve the Household Hazardous Waste Facility with new storage facility and other site improvements and informed the community through cable public service announcements. A certified drop off site or a curbside used oil collection program is a mandatory part of the Waste Oil Block Grant Program. Without at least one of the preceding items the City is not eligible for grant funds. Bernell Hydraulics at 8810 Etiwanda Avenue was the first used oil drop-off business to become certified in Rancho Cucamonga. In June of 1995 two other businesses became certified. They are Pep Boys at 9292 Foothill Boulevard and Reliable Smog & Tune at 9888 Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga. Three certified centers in Rancho Cucamonga insures our qualifications to receive full Block Grant Funds. An adopted Resolution is to be submitted with the application which is due November 30, 1995. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE USED OIL RECYCLING FUND UNDER THE USED OIL RECYCLING ENHANCEMENT ACT Whereas, the people of the State of California have enacted the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act that provides funds to cities and counties for establishing and maintaining local used oil collection programs that encourage recycling or appropriate disposal of used oil; and Whereas, the California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the state, setting up necessary procedures governing application by cities and counties under the program; and Whereas, said procedures established by the California Integrated Waste Management Board require the applicant to certify by resolution the approval of application before submission of said application to the state; and Whereas, the applicant will enter into an agreement with the State of California for the development of the project; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the CITY COUNCIL HEREBY: 1. Approves the filing of an application for the California Used Oil Recycling Block Grant Program under the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act for state assistance for the project specified above; and 2. Certifies that said applicant has or will have sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project; and 3. Appoints the City Engineer as agent of the City Council to conduct all negotiations, execute and submit all documents including, but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments, payment requests and so on, which may be necessary for the completion of the aforementioned project.

RECOMMENDATION Approval of the requests by resolution and minute order, respectively. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS On September 13, 1995, the Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommended approval of both the Historic Landmark Designation and Mills Act Agreement. The Historic Preservation Commission Minutes and Staff Report are attached for reference. Landmark Designation: The subject site and structures qualify for landmark designation based upon many of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance including such significant areas as; historical, cultural, architectural, and neighborhood and geographic setting. Details concerning these areas of significance are contained in the Facts for Findings section. The requested designation area includes the subject lot, residence, and garage. Mills Act Agreement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act Agreement. The Agreement has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference. (See Exhibit "A" of the Agreement for the scheduled list of improvements). Staff estimates the annual property tax savings to the owner could be as much as $977.00 and the reduction in tax proceeds to the City would be $38.05. The exact amounts are dependent upon the County Assessor's property valuation based on income potential and the capitalization rate at the time of assessment. ,j CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT LD 95-02 & MA 95-03 - WINKELPLECK November 15, 1995 Page 2 FACTS FOR FINDING The Facts for Findings are contained in the City Council Resolution.

MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 95-03 - DANIEL AND ELAINE WINKELPLECK - A request to implement the use of the Mills Act to reduce property tax on the Nell D. and Emma S. Hickcox Residence and Garage, an historic landmark located at 6878 Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 227-041-09. Related file: Landmark Designation 95-02. BACKGROUND Historical Significance: Built in 1931, this residence and detached garage were constructed for Nell and Emma Hickcox. Both Nell and Emma are the children of two families of settlers from the Etiwanda Colony. Emma's father was Dr. A. L. Shepard, who came to Etiwanda in 1882. Both of them attended the original wooden school house in Etiwanda. The residence and garage were designed by Los Angeles Architect Elwood Smith and provide an outstanding example of Spanish Revival Architecture. The structures retain almost all the original significant architectural details and features. It is the desire of the present owners/applicants to retain and restore the structures to the original architectural character. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan South Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan East Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan West Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Density North - Low Density (2-4 South - Low Density (2-4 East - Low Density (2-4 West - Low Density (2-4 (2-4 dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) Site Characteristics: The site is relatively flat while drainage runs gently to the south. The site is currently landscaped with a veritable plethora of mature trees, shrubs, and ground cover. A single large deodar tree currently hides the front of the house from the street. The house has a large setback from Etiwanda Avenue and the garage is located behind the house. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION LD 95-02 & MA 95-03 - DANIEL AND ELAINE WINKELPLECK September 13, 1995 Page 2 ANALYSIS: General: The residence is in 'very good condition with almost all significant exterior and interior features having been retained. The house is a two story design with both front and rear balconies and integrated covered patio and porch features. The roof is Spanish tile and the walls are stucco. Windows are of a casement design with unique roll up interior screens. All windows and doors appear to be the originals. Landmark Designation: The subject site and structures certainly qualify for landmark designation based upon many of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance including such significant areas as; historical, cultural, architectural, and neighborhood and geographic setting. Details concerning these areas of significance are contained in the Facts for Findings section. The requested designation area includes the subject lot, residence, and garage. Mills Act Agreement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act Agreement. The Agreement has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference. (See Exhibit C of the Agreement for the scheduled list of improvements.) The concept of the Mills Act program is to provide an incentive for the property owner-to protect and preserve the property in order to retain its characteristics of historical significance. This intention is encouraged through the reduction of property taxes, thus enabling the property owner to reinvest the money saved from the reduced property tax for improvements. The properties that enter into the agreement are to be inspected by City staff on an annual basis to determine whether notable progress has been made in rehabilitating the property. Staff estimates the property tax savings to the owner could be as much as $977.00 and the reduction in tax proceeds to the City would be $38.05. The exact amounts are dependent upon the County Assessor's property valuation based on income potential and the capitalization rate at the time of assessment. Environmental Assessment: The project is Categorically Exempt under Class 3.e of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding 1: The proposed landmark is particularly representative of an historic period, type, style, region, or way of life. .Fact/s: The property identifies an historic period of the 1930s when citrus and vineyard production was at its peak in the Etiwanda Community and the region.

O'Neil, City Engineer Mike Olivier; Senior Civil Engineer APPROVAL TO OPEN ESCROW WITH ANGELO AND FRANCES BONANNO FOR PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY FOR STREET PURPOSES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTHEAST PARK APN 225-131-19 FOR $5,000 PLUS ESCROW COSTS; FUND ACCOUNT NUMBER 10-4637-7042 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that City Council approve the opening of escrow with Angelo and Frances Bonanno for purchasing real property for Street Purposes, known as APN 225-13 1-19 for $5,000 plus $3,000 escrow costs, funded from Account Number 10-4637-7042. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The engineering staff has been negotiating with Mrs. Bonanno for about 6 months for the purchase of 1,800 square feet of land in the Etiwanda area. The parcel of land is directly in line with the extension of East Avenue north of Summit Avenue. The parcel was a remainder portion from the school acquisition of Mrs Bonanno's property in 1972. The cumulative cost to acquire the property trough eminent domain actions would far exceed the nominal appraised value and would cause a delay in the construction of the public park. Therefore a mutually acceptable price of $5,000 was reached through negotiations. The escrow costs of approximately $3,000 will be covered by the City and any residual liens or taxes would come from the purchase price. The total of $8,000 for this purchase is funded by Account Number 10-4637-7042. The company chosen to cover the escrow transactions is Chicago Title Company, who will also provide Title Insurance after the transfer of title.

Date: To: Fro m: By: Subject: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT November 15, 1995 Mayor, City Council members Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager William J. O'Neil, City Engineer Bob Zetterberg, Integrated Waste Coordinator National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit Implementation Agreement Amendment. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council of Rancho Cucamonga approve Amendment No. 1 to the Implementation Agreement No. 92-315 between the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and Co-Permittees listed in the Agreement. BACKGROUND On October 19, 1990 the Flood Control District, the County of San Bemardino, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the incorporated Cities in the Santa Ana River watershed, as Co-permittees, obtained an area-wide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, order No.90-136, NPDES No. CA8000200, as required by the Clean Water Act, Amended in 1987. Under the requirement of the permit, the Co-permittees entered into an Implementation Agreement for the delegation of responsibilities and funding of program costs on shared cost basis. Agreement No. 1 to the Permit Agreement revises the mechanism of funding the program costs by the Co-permittees. ANALYSIS The County of San Bernardino Flood Control District has not revised the Implementation Agreement since adoption in October of 1990. The intent of Amendment No.1 is to more accurately distribute the area-wide program costs based on adjusted run-off coefficients and corresponding land uses. The County of San Bernardino Flood Control District uses the County Assessor's land use parcel data to determine the total number of assessable land use units related to each of the Co-permittees. This method takes into consideration the growth and development that has been experienced by the Co-permittees. With Amendment No. 1 the City of Rancho Cucamonga share of the NPDES permit fee for Fiscal Year 1995\96 is $ 42,600. This is a $12,700 or 1.67% increase over previous years. Other Co-permittees are also experiencing increases based on their unique land uses. The permit fee cost share increase along with an increase of the permit fee was anticipated and budgeted in the current NPDES Program Budget.

O'Neil, City Engineer MEETING OF THE ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE The November meeting of the Task Force was held on Tuesday, November 14, and was again devoted to a discussion of whether all planned interchanges along Route 30 through the City should be retained. There was specifically continuing interest in the Milliken Avenue interchange and further information was presented to the Task Force concerning that particular interchange. In attendance was an audience of about 30 people, several of whom had questions or statements which were received by the Task Force. The audience members attended the meeting in response to flyers which had been distributed to homes in proposed interchange areas. ., Information was reviewed with both the Task Force and the audience concerning the process by which the General Plan and its circulation element was approved. There was also a brief discussion of the feasibility of major changes to the General Plan. For the benefit of the audience, the City Engineer gave a brief overview of the freeway and the history and mission of the Task Force. The City Engineer then gave a recap of the last meeting and provided answers to questions raised previously. The Police Chiefs report indicating no documented connection between crime and freeway offi:amps was presented. The Task Force agreed that interchanges at Haven Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard were acceptable and, no further information would be provided relative to those areas. City and Caltrans staff then presented information on the effect of eliminating the Milliken Avenue interchange on traffic conditions on City streets and the freeway. It was pointed out that traffic eliminated from any interchange location would be added to traffic at adjacent interchanges and impact the streets in between. In some cases local streets may be affected, but the main effect would be to Highland Avenue/19th Street, Banyan Street, and the Fairmont Way/Kenyon Way/Woodruff Place system in the Milliken/Highland Avenue area. Caltrans reported an increase in cost for elimination of the Milliken interchange because extra lanes would be needed on the freeway at the Haven Avenue interchange and on the Haven Avenue bridge to handle the added on/off ramp traffic. A rough estimate of the extra cost, considering savings of eliminating an interchange but not including right-of-way, is 1.3 million dollars. ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE MEETING November 15, 1995 Page 2 The Task Force was mainly concemed with traffic pattems around the Milliken Interchange area. Traffic circulator and pedestrian safety are main issues as well as density issues for future development. It was necessary to continue the interchange discussion to December when all five interchanges will be assessed as to need and/or desirability. The next Task Force meeting will be on Tuesday, December 12, at 6:00 PM. The Task Force was asked for additional information regarding traffic counts and geometries for the next meeting.
