of the City's westerly limits No impact is anticipated
g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies
and procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of
a disaster Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is
required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no
adverse impacts are anticipated
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban
Wildland Interface area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is prowded by the Cucamonga Valley Water Distract (CVWD)
and will not affect water quality standards or waste discharge requirements The existing
shopping center has been connected to the existing water and sewer systems since initial
construction in 1990
~ _J
b) According to C,VWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently prowded from ground
water in the Cucamonga and Chino Basins CVWD has adopted a master plan that
estimates demand needs until the year 2030 The proposed parcel map will not deplete
groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area

completely developed as a shopping center, and it would not affect the existing aqurfer,
estimated to be about 288 to 470 feet below the ground surtace
c) The proposed parcel map will not cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems,
and the rate and amount of surtace water runoff because the site is completely developed
All runoff is conveyed to existing storm drain facildies, which were designed to handle the
flows of the development when constructed in 1990-1997 The exisisdng shopping center
includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. Therefore, the
protect wdl not resuh in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-sde The impact is not
signrficant.
d) The proposed parcel map wdl not cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems,
and the rate and amount of surtace water runoff because the sde is completely developed
All runoff is conveyed to existing storm dram faaldies, which were designed and

in flooding on- or oft-sde No impacts are anticipated
e) The proposad parcel map will not cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patt2rns,
or the rate or amount oT surtace water runoff because the sde is completely developed.
All runoff wrfl be conveyed to existing storm drain facildies, which were designed and
constructed to handle the flows at the time of development The proposed parcel map will
not result in substantial addtional sources of polluted runoff No impacts are anticipated
f) There are no grading activities assoaated with the proposed parcel map The map
subdivides an exisisitng shopping center, no additional construction is contemplated by
this application.
g/h) The protect site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General
Plan Exhibd V-5 No adverse impacts are expected
The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event The system is substantially improved and
provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows This existing
system includes several debns dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds,
concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drams as shown in General Plan Exhibit
V-6 The protect site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to
General Plan Exhibit V-5 No adverse impacts are expected
t) There are no oceans, lakes or reservoirs near the protect site, therefore impacts from
seiche and tsunami are not anticipated The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of
the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain
streams Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudFlow
impacts to the level of non-significance within the City This existing system includes
several debns dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the protect have the potential to degrade the () () () (~)
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlrfe speces, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below sett-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restnct the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important
examples of the mator penods of Calrtomia history or
prehistory
b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (~)
limited, but cumulatively considerable ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
protect are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past protects, the effects of other
current protects, and the effects of probable future
protects)?
c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will () () () (~)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indvectly~
Comments:
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City
of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3 Additionally, the area surrounding the
site is developed Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely
that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site
b) The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR,
Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse
environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere of Influence The City made
findings that adoption of the General Plan would resuit in significant adverse effects to
aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library
services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for
each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less than significant
levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the
benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant
unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These
benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be

pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings
and the Statement of Overriding Considerations Considerations, no further discussion or
evaluation of cumulative impacts is required ~
c) No development is proposed, therefore there are no adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly, caused by the proposed parcel map The Initial Study did not
identify any issue for which mitigation measures were requred, because no construction
is proposed The proposed parcel map subdivides that site of an exisisitng shopping
center for land sales purpose only

of Eucalyptus windrow remnants, landscape trees, and random seedlings The easterly
boundary of the site is the historic landmark Schowalter Rock Pile, however, no alterations
are proposed by this application to the landmark
ANALYSIS
A General The applicant is proposing only the subdroision of three lots with no house
product at this time The applicant intends to sell two of the parcels separately to
indiwdual owners, the third lot will remain with an existing house and garage All three lots
well exceed the Very Low Residential requirements The average lot size is 30,626
square feet, which is 10,626 above the minimum regwred The lot dimension averages
are approximately 278 feet deep and 110 feet wide (minimum 200 feet by 90 feet,
respectively) The proposed layout includes a Local Feeder Trail to the rear of each
residential lot In addition, a Community Trail is proposed across the frontage of the lots
(the north side of Wilson Avenue) The protect is located within the Equestrian/Rural
Overlay, hence, is required to provde Local Feeder Trails (prroate equestrian easements),
which provide access to the rear of each lot The applicant intends to sell the property to a
private party to develop single-family homes at a later date.
B Design Review Committee• The Design Review Committee reviewed the proposed parcel
map as a Consent Calendar item on March 16, 2004 No mator issues were outstanding
The protect was conceptually approved
C Trails Advisory Committee Review The Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed the
protect on November 12, 2003 A 15-foot Local Feeder Trail is proposed along the north
tract boundary A 20-foot public Community Trail is proposed within the Wilson Avenue
parkway The TAC recommended approval subtect to staff's recommendations, plus
providing a fence wall master plan for Planning Commission consideration. In response,
the applicant prepared Exhibit "C" showing the proposed fence wall master plan, however,
this plan has several problems that staff has written additional conditions to correct. A rail
fence is shown at the north tract boundary instead of along the easement line (inside
edge) Along Wilson Avenue, 6-foot high block walls are shown at the public right-of-way
line (front property line). Walls greater than 3 feet are not allowed in the front yard.
Further, walls at this location are not advisable because they would obstruct regwred line-
of-sight for drivers egressing onto Wilson Avenue Along the interior side property line, 6
foot high block walls are shown continuously, extending from the public right-of-way line
(front property line) to the north tract boundary, hence, would violate the 3-foot maximum
in the front yard and would block the 15-foot Local Feeder Trail at four locations along the
north tract boundary
D Technical Review Committee The Technical Review Committee reviewed the protect on
March 16, 2004. The protect had no outstanding technical issues.
E Tree Removal Permit The site also contains about 51 mature trees (not including non-
heritage fruit trees and a small pine tree farm), consisting of Eucalyptus windrow
remnants, landscape trees, and random seedlings The applicant has submitted an
application for a tree removal permit (Exhibit "F") An arborist surveyed the trees and
recommended replacement due to poor health and mechanical structure Only two trees, a

Blue Gum Eucalyptus and a Giant Sequoia, were rated by the arborist as "4 -very good"
on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being dead and 5 being excellent Two Palm trees (one
Mexican Fan Palm and one California Fan Palm) were rated as suitable for preservation
by transplantation The Tree Preservation Ordinance regwres replacement at a 1 to 1
basis.
F Environmental Assessment The protect site is less than 5 acres and is categorically
exempt from Environmental Review per CEQA Gwdelines Section 15315 (Class 15
Exemption - Minor Land Divisions).
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Dadv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 300-foot radws of the protect site The applicant did not heed staff's recommendation to
conduct a neighborhood meeting.

report issub~ect to Limiting Conditions and Certifications attached The opinions
contained herein are those of the Arborist and may not be reproduced without the

A General The proposed project consists of two components A public storage faality on
6.13 acres, and a subdivision to create seven single-family lots on 164 acres. The public
storage facility includes 185,491 square feet and 3,597 square feet of office, and an
apartment for the manager The storage faality will take access from Haven Avenue, with
a gated emergency-only access from Heather Street
The seven single-family homes will take access from Heather Street, with the northern
side of Heather Street being completed with the subdivision improvements A future
Development Review application will be necessary to approve the design and
development of these seven homes.
B Design Revew Committee The Design Rewew Committee (McPhail, Stewart, and Fong)
reviewed the protect on March 16, 2004, and April 6, 2004 (Exhibit "I") Although many
aspects of the protect received concurrence between the Committee and the applicant, the
Committee previously recommended the architecture of the public storage facility be
reviewed and modified to provide more richness in detailing The Committee suggested
that the architect analyze the introduction of additional bwlding material in key visible
locations that would provide texture and interest to the street frontage Specific
suggestions included the use of medallions or tde inlays In summary, the Committee
recommended an enhancement to the articulation and richness of the street exposure of
the protect ~/ ~i ~ n

The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, and Fong) reviewed the protect again on April 6, 2004,
and recommended approval of the revised design with one exception regarding signs
Two signs are proposed on the north elevation of the building facing the eastbound on-
ramp to the 210-Freeway, therefore, these two wall signs are visible from the freeway
itself The Committee did not support freeway-oriented signs for this protect Because the
applicant believe the signs to be important to their business, the Committee agreed this
matter should be presented to the Planning Commission for further discussion
C Variance The applicant has submitted a Variance application to consider a request for a
reduction in setback to zero feet along the south and east boundaries of the public storage
facility. The standard setback requirement for a commeraal activity that is adfacent to a
residential land use is 20 feet However, in this case, because of the inherent design of
the public storage faality, a 20-foot setback would become a "no man's land" (an area
situated between the bwldmg wall and a property line wall that would have limited access
and visibility and no convenient access) This situation breeds maintenance problems and
difficulty in policing unauthorized actiwties The Planning Commission approved a similar
Variance for another Aim All Storage, located at the southwest corner of Arrow Route and
Hermosa Avenue, where an existing residential neighborhood borders the protect site
. D Signs A total of four signs (three wall plus one monument) are shown, which exceeds the
three maximum allowed by the City's Sign Ordinance. This is the result of two wall signs
proposed on the north elevation Only one wall sign per street frontage is allowed (the
210-Freeway is considered "frontage" on a public road) A combination of wall and
monument signs is allowed, however, a maximum of three signs is permitted All three of
the wall signs exceed the 20-foot maximum above finished grade allowed by the City's
Sign Ordinance The wall signs are 29 feet and 23 feet above firnshed grade (Exhibit "J")
The site sits approximately 4 to 5 feet below Haven Avenue and the 210-Freeway
eastbound on-ramp Even accounting for this, the two wall signs on Building 'A' would still
exceed the maximum allowed Staff has included a condition of approval to limit the
number of signs, and their height above grade, accordingly All signs require separate
revew and approval of a sign permit application
E Technical Review/Gradino Committees The project was reviewed by the Committees on
March 16, 2004, and was approved by both All issues have been addressed and are
included in the Standard Conditions of Approval, and in the attached Resolution of
Approval
F Neighborhood Meeting The applicant conducted a Neighborhood Meeting on
March 11, 2004 At least ten families from the immediate neighborhood were represented,
with particular concern expressed by those families liwng along Valinda Avenue and
Heather Street, located adfacent to the proposed protect The applicant gave a
description of the protect and had plans and bwldmg elevations available for review and
comment
The focus of the questions from the residents was of those that live along Valinda Avenue
with rear yards that are adfacent to the proposed Aim All Storage These residents were
naturally concerned about the degree of view over the faality, and the comparison of roof
and wall heights for maximum protection of their properties The cross-sections and

information that was provided by the applicant was useful in allaying the concerns of these
residents The applicants promised to work closely with these residents, including
conducting apre-construction meeting with them to finalize all related details.
G Environmental Assessment The applicant completed Part I of the Irntial Study, and staff
completed Part II of the Initial Study Staff determined that the protect could have a
significant adverse environmental impact on short-term air quality, cultural resources,
geologic problems, noise, hydrology, water quality, and noise Mitigation measures are
regwred to reduce all impacts to a level of less-than-significant, and are outlined in the
Irntial Study and the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daiiy
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 300-foot radius of the protect site
RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated
Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and approve Tentatve Tract Map SUBTT16648,
Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00850, and Variance DRC2004-00050, through adoption of
the attached Resolutions of Approval

residential lots totaling 1 03 acres and one remainder parcel of 6.14 acres for the purpose of
developing a public storage facility located m the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per
acre), located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the east 210 Freeway on-ramp -

CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A request to develop a public storage facility of 185,491
square feet, along with 3,597 square feet for the manager's office and apartment, on 6.14 acres m
the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at the southeast corner of Haven
Avenue and the east 210 Freeway on-ramp - APN• 1076-331-02 and 1076-341-01
Desion Parameters: The proposed prolect consists of two components a public storage facility on
6.14 acres and a subdivision to create seven single-family lots on 1 03 acres; however, no home
product is proposed at this time. The public storage faality includes 185,491 square feet of storage
space, and 3,597 square feet of office space and an apartment forthe manager The seven single-
family lots will take access from Heather Street, with the northern side of Heather Street being
. completed with the subdivision improvements.
Project Site And Surroundma Land Uses. The existing land use surrounding the site includes
single-family residential adjacent to the east and south boundaries, the 210 Freeway along the north
boundary, and Haven Avenue on the west boundary. Existing improvements on the site include
curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Haven Avenue. The prolect site is iypical of an urban vacant parcel
of land, which has been maintained annually for weed control; no trees, structures, or other unique
feature exist on the site.
Neiohborhood Comoatibility Given the underlying Low Residential designation of the prolect site,
the public storage facility can only be permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit,
subject to certain mitigating conditions, as outlined m the Development Code Code section
17 08 030.E.5 states the following.
The development ofmrnr-storage facrlitres maybe consrdered rn resrdentral
land use drstncts as a means of mrt~gatrng land use conflicts outlined rn
Section 17.08.050. F. There are certain locations within the Crty where
resrdent~ally designated properties are located adjacent to undeveloped
parcels of land where this transrt~on between the existing resrdentral
neighborhood and non-resrdentral influences (~ e. high traffic corridors,
commercial or industrial land uses, etc) rs a primary design issue that
prevents desirable development, resulting rn such parcels remaining
undeveloped or underdeveloped The mrnr-storage use would be consrdered
rn situations where the facility would act as mrtrgatronal buffers for resrdentral
developments impacted by unchangeable environmental issues, such as
traffic and Horse, as determined by the Planning Commission
DRC COMMENTS
SUBTT16648 AND DRC2003-00850
March 16, 2004 .
Page 2
The proposed Aim All Storage facility is located on lust such a parcel as envisioned by the Code
section noted above The residentially zoned property is immediately adlacent to the 210 Freeway
and existing residential development is situated east and south of the vacant parcel. The freeway is
a significant generator of nuisance noise that must be mitigated in a residential environment. The
noise is typically mitigated by the construction of a solid masonry wall, which can often reach heights
of 17 feet, and often then only mitigate noise to industry-acceptable levels, rather than truly
comfortable levels for the enjoyment of the backyard
The proposed self-storage facility is, by the nature of the operation, a facility that has a low activity
level, generates little traffic and generates very little noise, and would, therefore, provide a buffer
between the freeway and existing single-family residential neighborhood, as an alternative to the
excessive height block wall.
Variance: The applicant has submitted a Variance application to consider a request for a reduction
in setback to 0 feet along the south and east boundaries of the public storage faality The standard
setback requirement for a commeraal activity that is adlacent to a residential land use is 20 feet.
However, in this case, due to the inherent design of the public storage facility, a 20-foot setback
would become a "no man's land" - an area situated between the budding wall and a property line
wall that would have limited visibility and no convenient access This situation breeds maintenance
problems and difficulty in poliang unauthorized activities. The Planning Commission approved a
similar Variance request for another Aim All Storage located at the southwest comer of Arrow Route
and Hermosa Avenue, where an existing residential neighborhood bordered the protect site •
Although, in this case the applicant is also creating seven single-family lots along the south
boundary of the protect, and it has been suggested that ratherthan approving the variance along the
south boundary, that the depth of the proposed lots could be extended by 20 feet as an alternative
to the Variance. A summary of the issue is provided m Comment #1 below in order to initiate
Committee discussion.
Architectural Elements The architectural design of the protect features a contemporary
Mediterranean theme Budding materials include Mission file roofing, stucco finish with multiple
layers of stucco-covered entablature. Along the freeway elevation the budding height vanes, as
does the budding detailing; including segments ofsplit-face concrete block, and tower elements with
gabled rooflines The business signage will be limited to a total of three signs in any combination of
wall-mounted and monument signage; this may include the north facing budding wall which faces
the freeway.
The south-facing budding wall (which also forms the north boundary of the proposed Tentative Tract
SUBTT16648) is 12 feet in height The wall surface will be stucco on a CMU wall with adouble-
banded entablature
The east-facing building wall is along the rear property line of existing residents on Valmda Avenue
The grading of the site is such that the proposed building wall will not be visible from the two
northerly residents facng Valmda Avenue, the remaining six residents facing Valmda Avenue will
view the proposed building wall anywhere from a few inches to approximately 2Yz feet above their
existing rear yard block wall Comment #2 below provides a staff recommendation to further
minimize impact of the budding wall on the existing residents
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this protect

PERTAINING TO THE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
1 The Design Review Committee should consider whether it would be desirable to increase the
depth of the single-family lots by 20 feet (equivalent to the setback variance needed) to
compensate for the 14-foot high slope and 12-foot budding wall height thatthe future resident
will face in the rear yard of the lot
PERTAINING TO AIM ALL STORAGE
1. As the line of Budding B becomes wsible along the east boundary (along the property
boundary of the Valinda Avenue residents) the proposed budding material shall be compatible
in some fashion to the existing block wall and/or provide a decorative corrnce trim as noted on
the south elevation.
2 Delete City logo signage on the northwest comer of the building tower element. The
southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the 210 Freeway on-ramp is not designated in the City
General Plan Exhibit III-14 or Table III-26 as a City Gateway Furthermore, it is inappropriate
to include City's logo on anon-public budding
3. The proposed project sits below street grade along Haven Avenue, with the worst-case
condition being right at the comer of Haven Avenue and the 210 Freeway on-ramp. The
applicant shall analyze the Ime-of-sight from the sidewalk and/or dnwng lane on Haven
Avenue across the top of the parapet line onto the roof of the structure for Sections 1 and 22
A slight increase in height of the parapet may block visibility of the rooftop across the facility

decrease the overall rate of grade of the proposed slope, rath vishble tovthe publ cl parkway.

However, the Engineering Division expresses a preference for relocating and reconstructing
the sidewalk to a curvilinear configuration. This would be the only section of Haven Avenue (a
distance of 600 feet) in the immediate area to be reconstructed with curvilinear sidewalk. All

Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the issues noted w th the
applicant, recommend appropriate action for resolution prior to recommending Pl~nning
Commission consideration
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTION:
Members Present McPhail, Stewart, Fong
Staff Planner Debra Meier
The applicant provided a response to each item identified in the staff comments, and essentially
concurred with all staff recommendations There is one clarification that should be noted pertaining
to Item #2 under AIM ALL STORAGE - It is the desire of the City Planner to obtain an artistic
representation of the City logo on the north west comer of the structure; particularly located on the
face of the tower at this location The art is not intended to be an exact duplication of the City
gateway elements, but is in a location where the opportunity to announce entry into the City m an
artistic fashion is appropriate The applicant is agreement Huth this request
PERTAINING TO AIM ALL STORAGE
The Committee discussed the various alternatives related to the sidewalk location, based on
comments Planning and Engineering Drvisions and the applicant The Committee agreed to allow
the sidewalk to remain m place, given the factors of grade and the potential for future right-turn lane
development rn this location
The Committee recommended that the architecture of the faality be reviewed and modified to
provide more richness in detailing The Committee suggested that the architect analyze the
introduction of additional building material in key visible locations that would provide texture and
interest to the street frontage Specific suggestions included the use of medallions or tale inlays In
summary, the Committee would like to increase the articulation and richness of the street exposure
of the protect
The revised architectural design for Aim All Storage will be scheduled for follow-up Committee
revew and approval on April 6, 2004.
PERTAINING TO THE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
The Committee concurred that the additional lot depth of 20 feet was not necessary, however, a
condition of approval shall be placed on the Tentative Map that the design review of these lots shall
include enhanced slope planting in order to add the element of buffering provided between the
residential lots and the public storage facility

2 Eliminate wall signs on the north elevation facing the I-210 Freeway. The signs conflict
with the City's desire to avoid having signs face the freeway, and the operation of the
storage facility is a commumiy-oriented rather than freeway-oriented business

1. AESTHETICS. Would the pro/ect
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic wsta~ () () (/) ( )
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, () () () (/)
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic bwidings within a State Scenic Highway
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character () () (/) ( )
or quality of the site and its surroundings
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (/) ( )
which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area
Comments:
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the prolect site The site is within a view
corridor along Haven Avenue, and is a City Gateway corner, according to General Plan
Exhibit III-15 General Plan Policy 6 4 6 1 indicates that one of our primary scemc resources
is the view of the San Bernardino Mountains that should be framed through the appropriate
placement of trees and structures Haven Avenue is a designated Special Boulevard and
view corridor within the City, regwring conformance with aCity-adopted Beautification Master
Pian for streetscape landscaping The prolect design includes generous budding setbacks
that wdl preserve views along this corridor Compliance with General Plan Policy and City
Beautification Master Plan requirements will result in ales-than-significant impact on the
scemc view/vista of the San Bernardino Mountains
b) The prolect site contains no scemc resources and no historic bwldings within a State Scenic
Highway There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga
c) The site is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of
the 210 Freeway, and is characterized by conditions of typical urban vacant parcel that has
been annually maintained for weed control Development along the south and east
boundaries of the site consist of single-family residential, the 210 Freeway form the north
boundary, and Haven Avenue form the west boundary The casual quality of the area will not
degrade as a result of this prolect Design review is requued prior to approval City
standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and faalities to
minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance
with Planning Commission Resolution No 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution
d) The prolect will create new light and glare because the site is currently vacant The design
and placement of light fixtures will be shown on Site Plans which require review for
consistency with City standards that regwres shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid
glare Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the
prolect site The impact is not considered significant

2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the pro/ect
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () (/) ( )
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural
uses
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or () () () (/)
a W illiamson Act contract

City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 5
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (/)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural uses
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance The site is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the eastbound
on-ramp of the 210 Freeway, and is characterized by conditions of typical urban vacant
parcel that has been annually maintained for weed control No agricultural cultivation or
related activity occurs on the site Development along the south and east boundaries of the
site consist of single-family residential, the 210 freeway form the north boundary, and Haven
Avenue form the west boundary
There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Fannland of
Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-thud is
either developed or commilted to development according to General Plan Table IV-2. The
major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern
portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development Further, two-
thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and
their economic viability is doubtful, therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland
in the General Plan Land Use Plan The General Plan FEIR identified the conversion of
farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a statement of
overriding conditions was ultimately adopted by the City Council The proposed protect is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated
b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City
c) The site is located at the southeast comer of Haven Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of
the 210 Freeway, and is characterized by conditions of typical urban vacant parcel that has
been annually maintained for weed control No agricultural cultivation or related activity
occurs on the site Development along the south and east boundaries of the site consist of
single-family residential, the 210 Freeway form the north boundary, and Haven Avenue form
the west boundary Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated

applicable air quality plan
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute () (/) () ( )
substantially to an existing or protected air quality
violahon~
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase () () () (/)
of any criteria pollutant for which the protect region
is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or
State ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative
thresholds for ozone precursors
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () (/) () ( )
concentrations
e) Create obtectionable odors affecting a substantial () () () (/)

Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
SUBTT16648, DRC2003-00850, DRC2004-00050 Page 6
Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6), continued development will contribute to the
pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards The General Plan FEIR identified the Citywide increase in emissions as a
significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a statement of overriding conditions was
uhimately adopted by the City Council The proposed prolect is consistent with the General
Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated
b) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty
construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions
In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities
While most of the dust would settle on or near the prolect site, smaller particles would remain
m the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area Construction is an
on-going rndustry in the Rancho Cucamonga area Construction workers and equipment
work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete They then transfer
to a different site where the process begins again Therefore, the emissions assoaated with
construction actroities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and they would not violate
an air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality in the region Nevertheless, fugitive
dust and equipment emissions are regwred to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) on aprolect-specific bans Therefore, the following
mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so
as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
construction site for City verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit
construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low
emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was
investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also
conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality
Management D~stnct (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in
SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high
volume, low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule
1108.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
• Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads
• Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
• Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil
during and after the end of work periods
• Dispose of surplus excavated material m accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices

Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is
carved over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water duality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce
PM~o emissions, in accordance with SCAt~iMD Rule 403
7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RW~CB) shall be applied to
all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~o emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative
fuel-powered equipment where feasible.
9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans include
a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not m use.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air quality
emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) Based
upon the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nox, ROG,
and PM,o would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance, therefore, would all be
cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-
significant The General Plan FEIR identified the Citywide increase m emissions as a
significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations
was ultimately adopted by the City Council
In the long-term, development consistent with the General Pian would result in significant
operational vehicle emissions based upon the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 5 6-4
of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, would ali be cumulatvely significant if they cannot be
mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-significant The following mitigation
measures shall be implemented
10) The public storage facility shall post signs requiring that trucks shall not be left
idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
11) All residential and commercial structures shall be requued to incorporate h~gh-
efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters.
12) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-strapping.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified
the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for
which a statement of overriding conditions was ultimately adopted by the City Council
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contribute to
the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards The General Plan FEIR identified the Citywide increase in emissions as a
significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
ultimately adopted by the City Counal The protect proposed is consistent with the General
Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated

d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities
According to the SCAQMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they
are located within Y,-mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic au contaminants
identified ~n SCAQMD Rule 1401 According to the SCAQMD, protects have the potential to
create significant impacts if they are located within Y,-mile of sensitive receptors and would
emit toxic au contaminants identified m SCAQMD Rule 1401 The protect site is located
adtacent to existing single-family residences along the east and south boundaries Potential
impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within
the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive
dust to be generated from grading the site The mitigation measures listed under b) above
will reduce impact to less-than-sigmficant levels
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create obtectionable odors No adverse impacts are
anticipated

Development along the south and east boundaries of the site consist of single-family
residential, the 210 Freeway form the north boundary, and Haven Avenue form the west
boundary According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan
FEIR, the protect site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources, therefore,
development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals due to
the fact that the protect is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Plan
b) The protect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities No riparian habitat
exists on-site, meaning the protect will not have any impacts
c) No wetland habitat is present on-site As a result, protect implementation would have no
impact on these resources
d) The matonty of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any
wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated
e) There are no heritage trees on the protect site, therefore, the proposed protect is not in
conflict with any local ordinance
f) The protect site is not located within a conservation area according to the General Plan,
Open Space and Conservation Plan, Exhibit IV-4 No conflicts with habitat conservation
plans will occur.

Comments:
a) The protect site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2 24 (Historic Preservation) There will be no impact
b) There are no known archeological sites or resources recorded on the protect site, however,
the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans
according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 11) Construction activity, particularly grading,
soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential
archaeological resources The following mitigation measures shall be implemented
•
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during
grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor
construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them .

• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or
significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its
archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological
sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or
focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological heritage.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse protect effects on significant, important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEQA guidelines.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an
alluvial fan According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the
sphere-of-influence, including the prolect site, however, the area has a high sensitivity rating
for paleontological resources The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during
the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago dunng the Late Pleistocene
epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man
occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils The protect site is underlain by
Quaternary alluvum per General Plan Exhibit V-2, therefore, the following mitigation
measures shall be implemented
2) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field survey of the
project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also
provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the
following measures:
Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid
removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time
dunng the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed
salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
Submtt a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to the San Bernardino
County Museum.
d) The proposed protect is in an area that has already been disturbed by development The site
is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of the 210
Freeway and is characterized by conditions of typical urban vacant parcel that has been
annually maintained for weed control Development along the south and east boundaries of
the site consist of single-family residential, the 210 Freeway forms the north boundary, and
Haven Avenue forms the west boundary No known religious or sacred sites exist within the
protect area No adverse impacts are anticipated

creating substantial risks to life or property
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the () () () (/)
use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater
disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of wastewater
Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is rt in the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General
Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5 1 of the General Plan FEIR The inferred protection of the Red
Hill Fault, passes immediately to the south of the site, and the Cucamonga Fautt Zone lies
approximately 2 miles north These faults are both capable of producing M„, 6 0-7 0
earthquakes Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7 5 earthquakes, is 8
miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8 2 earthquakes, is 15
miles northeasterly of the sde Each of these faults can produce strong groundshaking
Adhering to the Uniform Bwlding Code will ensure that geologic impacts are
less-than-significant
b) The Rancho Cucamonga area is subtect to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during
September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems
Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting
in temporary problems of dust control, however, development of this protect under the
General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads,
bwidings, and landscaping are established Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation
measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels

1) The site shall be treated with water or other sod-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCA~MD and RWOCB) daily to reduce PM~o emissions, in accordance with
SCA~MD Rule 403.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM,o emissions assocreted with vehicle tracking of soil off-
site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to
minimize PM~o emissions from the site during such episodes.
4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCA~MD and RWQCB) shall be applied to
all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~o emisslons.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 1) indicates that subsidence is generally assoaated with
large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer The protect would not withdraw
water from the existrng aquifer The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous area or other
unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FEIR Figure 5 1-2 Soil types
on-site consist of Soboba and Tufunga Sod associations according to General Plan FEIR
Exhibit 5 1-3 No adverse impacts are anticpated
d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the protect site, is located on alluwai soil
deposits These types of soils are not considered to be expansive Soil types on-site consist
of Soboba and Tufunga Sod assocations according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General
Plan FEIR Exhibit 5 1-3 These soils are typically older alluvial deposits consisting of gravels
and sands No adverse impacts are anticipated

Comments:
a/b) The prolect will not involve the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials The City
participates m a Countywide interagency coalition than is considered a full service Hazardous
Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other m the state The City has
adopted a Standardized Emergency Management System Mutti-Hazard Functional Plan to
respond to chemical emergencies Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations
concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the
potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant No adverse impacts are
expected
c) There are no existing schools located within '/,-mile of the prolect site The prolect site is
located 18 mile from a preschool under construction to the northwest on Alta Loma Drive
Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors No adverse impacts are
anticipated
d) The proposed prolect is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site Recent
site inspection did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of
hazardous materials No impact is anticipated
e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public

Comments•
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) and
will not affect water quality standards or waste discharge regwrements The protect is
designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems
b) According to CCWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from groundwater in
the Cucamonga and Chino Basins CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates
demand needs until the year 2030 The proposed protect will not deplete groundwater
supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a
recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Exhibit IV-2 The
development of the site will require the grading of the site and excavation, however, would
not affect the existing agwfer, estimated to be about 288 to 470 feet below the ground

wtll increase water needs and is a significant impact, however, CVWD has plans to meet this
increased need through the construction of future water facilities The following mitigation
measure shall be implemented
1) Structures to retain precipitation and runoff on-site shall be integrated into the
design of the protect where appropriate. Measures that may be used to minimize
runoff and to enhance infiltration include Dutch drams, precast concrete lattice
blocks and bricks, terraces, diversions, runoff spreaders, seepage pits, and
recharge basins.
c) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surtace water runoff due to the amount of new bwlding and hardscape proposed
on a site, however, the protect will not alter the course of any stream or river All runoff will
be conveyed to existing storm drain faalities, which have been designed to handle the flows
The protect design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion A
Grading and Drainage Pian must be approved by the Bulding Official and City Engineer pnor
to issuance of grading permits Therefore, the protect will not result in substantial erosion or
siltation on- or off-site The impact is not considered significant
d) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surtace water runoff due to the amount of new bwlding and hardscape proposed
on a site, however, the protect will not alter the course of any stream or aver All runoff will
be conveyed to existing storm dram facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows
A Grading and Drainage Pian must be approved by the Bulding Official and City Engineer
prior to issuance of grading permits Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result
in flooding on- or off-site No impacts are anticipated
e) The protect w01 cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surtace water runoff due to the amount of new bwlding and hardscape proposed
on a site, however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm dram facilities, which have
been designed to handle the flows The protect will not result in substantial additional
sources of polluted runoff A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building
Official and City Engineer pnor to issuance of grading permits Therefore, increase in runoff
from the site will not result m flooding on- or off-site No impacts are antiapated
A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) has been prepared by Lockman & Associates,
the protect engineer The protect does not impact any natural water courses, the self-storage
portion of the protect will dram directly onto Haven Avenue and into City-maintained storm
drain facilities The residential portion of the protect will drain onto Heather Street and
eventually be conveyed into storm drain faciities that tie into the Haven Avenue storm drain
Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase
in the amount of suspended solids in surtace flows during a concurrent storm event, thus
resulting in surtace water quality impacts The site is more than 1 acre, therefore, is required
to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize
water pollution According to the Preliminary WQMP, the Best Management Practices will be
implemented during construction, in accordance with the following mitigation measures
2) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Engineer for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WIMP), including a
protect description and identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that wtll
be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm dram system to the maximum
extent practicable The WGMP shall identify the structural and non-structural
measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and
Redevelopment adopted by tithe City of Rancho Cucamonga June 2000.

3) Pnor to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall submit to the
City Engineer a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General
Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board.
Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e, a copy of the Waste Discharger's
Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Engineer for coverage
under the NPDES General Construction Permit.
g/h) According to FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 7890, a portion of the subtect
protect along Haven Avenue is within Flood Zone A It is possible that sufficient flood
protection has been provided with construction of SR-210 and the master plan storm drain in
Haven Avenue However, the current Flood Zone designation remains The developer shall
apply the construction standards outlined in paragraph 19 12 051 of Ordinance 669 to all
new construction within Flood Zone A or process a revision to the FIRM directly through
FEMA
A Hydrology Report was prepared for the protect by Lockman & Associates, the protect
engineer The tributary drainage area analyzed in the report consists of 6 09 acres, divided
into two tributary areas - Area A consists of 5 4 acres which primarily includes the seli-
storage facility, and Area B consists of the remaining 2 69 acres of the protect area (including
the seven residential lots) Area A will be conveyed through drams to Haven Avenue, and
Area B will be conveyed through a series of swales and drains to Heather Street
The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event The system is substantially improved and
. provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows This existing system
includes several debns dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined
channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Exhibit V-6 No adverse
impacts are expected
There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the protect site, therefore, impacts from seiche
and tsunami are not anticipated The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep
eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams
Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the
level of non-sigrnficance within the City This existing system includes several debris dams
and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City

Comments
a) Existing land use surrounding the site includes single-family residential adtacent to the east
and south boundaries, the 210 Freeway along the north boundary and Haven Avenue on the
west boundary The protect site is typical of an urban vacant parcel of land, which has been
maintained annually for weed control, no trees, structures or other unique feature exist on the

site The 7-lot single-family subdwision will complete the neighborhood and be of similar
design and size to surrounding neighborhood along Heather Street and Valinda Avenue
Given the underlying Low Residential designation of the protect site, the public storage facility
can only be permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, subtect to certain
mitigating conditions, as outlined in the Development Code Code section 17 OS 030E 5
states the following
The development of mini-storage facilrhes may be considered rn res~denhal
land use d~stncts as a means of mitigating land use conflicts outlined m
Section 17 08 050 F There are certain locations within the Cdy where
residentially designated properties are located adlacent to undeveloped
parcels o/ land where this transition between the existing residential
neighborhood and non-residential influences (~ a high traffic corridors,
commercial or industrial land uses, etc) is a primary design issue that
prevents desirable development, resulting in such parcels remaining
undeveloped or underdeveloped The mini-storage use would be
considered in situations where the facility would act as mitigational buffers
for residential developments impacted by unchangeable environmental
issues, such as traffic and Horse, as determined by the Planning
Commission
The proposed Aim All Storage facility is located on lust such a parcel as envisioned by the
Code section noted above The residentially zoned property is immediately adtacent to the
210 Freeway and existing residential development is situated east and south of the vacant
parcel The freeway is a significant generator of nuisance noise that must be mitigated in a
residential environment The noise is typically mitigated by the construction of a solid
masonry wall, which can often reach heights of 17 feet, and often then only mitigate noise to
industry-acceptable levels, rather than truly comfortable levels for the entoyment of the
backyard
The proposed self-storage facility is, by the nature of the operation, a facility that has a low
actmty level, generates little traffic and generates very little noise, and would, therefore,
provide a buffer between the freeway and existing single-family residential neighborhood, as
an alternatwe to the excesswe height block wall
Variance The applicant has submitted a Variance application to consider a request for a
reduction in setback to 0 feet along the south and east boundaries of the public storage
facility The standard setback requirement for a commercial actwity that is adtacent to a
residential land use is 20 feet However, in this case, due to the inherent design of the public
storage faality, a 20-foot setback would become a "no man's land" - an area situated
between the building wall and a property line wall that would have limited visibility and no
convenient access This situation breeds maintenance problems and difficulty in policing
unauthorized actmties The Planning Commission approved a similar Variance request for
another Aim All Storage located at the southwest corner of Arrow Route and Hermosa
Avenue, where an existing residential neighborhood bordered the protect site
b) The protect site land use designation is Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) The
proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan and does not intertere with any policies
for environmental protection As such, no impacts are anticipated
c) The protect site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area
According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the
protect site is not within an area of sensitwe biological resources, therefore, development will

Analysis prepared for the project by W ieland Assoaates, Inc , it was estimated that the future
unmitigated CNEL on Haven Avenue adjacent to the manager's apartment for the public
storage facility and the rear of Lots 6 and 7 of Tract 16648 is 72 dB This estimated noise
level exceeds the City Noise standard that specify that exterior living areas shall not exceed
65 d6 and the interior living space shall not exceed 45 d8 Therefore, the following mitigation
measures are requred for the manager's apartment for the public storage facility and along
the rear of Lots 6 and 7 of Tentative Tract 16648

14) A qualified acoustical consultant shall review the final design of the prolect to •
verify compliance with the City Noise Standards.
The General Plan FEIR (Sechon 5 7) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equpment, will
generate noise exceeding City standards The following measures are provided to
mitigate the short-term noise impacts
Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m.
and 6:30 a.m on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday
or a national holiday.
Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards
specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the
property line. The developer shall hire a consultant to pertorm weekly
noise level monitoring as specified m Development Code Section
17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be regwred by the Planning
Division. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Planning
Division within 24 hours, however, if noise levels exceed the above
standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Planning
Division. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction
activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above
noise standards or halted
• The perimeter wall shall be constructed as early as possible in fast phase
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment, however, do not address the potential impacts due to the
transport of construction materials and debris The following mitigation measures shall
then be regwred
Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p m.
and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday
or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would
exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site),
then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any
construction traffic haul routes. To the extent feasible, the plan shall
denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential
dwellings.
b) The uses associated with this type of prolect normally do not induce ground borne vibrations
As such, no impacts are anticipated
c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic The proposed
activities will not significantly increase traffic, hence, are not anticipated to increase the
ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the protect
d) See a)response above
e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport It is located approximately 5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north
of the flight path No impact is anticipated .

Comments:
a) The proposed protect is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the eastbound
on-ramp of the 210 Freeway, on a 7 17 acre parcel of land The proposed protect consists of
two components a public storage facility on 6 14 acres and a subdmsion to create seven
single-family lots on 1 03 acres The protect would be served by Fve Station Nos 171 or
175, both located less than 1 Yz miles from the protect site The protect will not regwre the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new faalities Standard
conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the protect
so no impacts to fire services will occur No impacts are anticipated
u
b) Additional police protection is not regwred, as the addition of the protect will not change the
pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the protect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled

c) The Alta Loma School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the
protect area Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development
A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the School Impact Fees for
both the residential component and the public storage component of the protect With this
standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not considered significant
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
nearest park is located 1-mile from the protect site The protect will not regwre the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in

condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees No impacts
are anticipated
e) The proposed protect will utilize existing public facilities The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The protect will not regwre the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing faalities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new faciities Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services According
to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9 9), the protected increase in library space under the
General Plan will not meet the protected demand The General Plan FEIR identified the
cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The
proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the EIR was prepared and
impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City has planned a new
library within the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square
feet, which is in excess of the protected need of 15,500 square feet at bwld-out of the City

Comments•
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 5), continued development will contribute to the
traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area The proposed protect is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated The protect is in an
area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in protect design
The protect will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle taps, traffic volume
or congestion at intersections The protect site will be requred to provide street
improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City
roadway standards In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee
that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits Fees are used to
fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation No impacts
are anticipated
b) The proposed protect includes 1,107 self-storage units and seven single-family residential
lots According to the Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model (Austin-Foust Associates), the self-
storage protect and 7-lot subdivision will generate 33 A M and 7 P M two-way peak hour
trips, which is less than 250 two-way peak hour trips for non-retail uses, therefore, is below
the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) criteria for
regwring a traffic impact analysis The protect is in an area that is mostly developed with all
street improvements existing The protect will not negatively impact the level of service
standards on adtacent arterials The protect will be required to provide street improvements
(curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site No impacts are anticipated
c) Located approximately five miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the
flight path and will not change air traffic patterns No impacts are anticipated
d) The protect is in an area that is mostly developed The protect will be regwred to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site The
protect design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or farming uses

The protect wail, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards due to a design
feature No impacts are anticipated
e) The protect will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles and will, therefore,
not create an inadequate emergency access No impacts are antiapated
f) The protect design has adequate parking in compliance with standards of the Rancho
Cucamonga Development Code and wdl, therefore, not create an inadequate parking
capacity No impacts are anticipated
g) The protect design includes, or the protect will be conditioned to provide, features supporting
transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e g ,bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc )

existing facilities, the construction of which could
cause significant environmental effects
c) Requve or result in the construction of new storm () () () (/)
water drainage faalit~es or expansion of existing
faalities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects ~
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve () () () (/)
the protect from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements
needed
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater () () () (/)

f) Be served by a landftll with sufficient permitted () () () (/)
capacty to accommodate the protect's solid waste
disposal needs
g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and () () () (/)
regulations related to solid waste
Comments.
a) The proposed protect is served by the CVW D sewer system, which has waste treated by the
Inland Empre Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga The protect ~s required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional
Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater No impacts are anticipated
b) The proposed protect is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the
Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga
and RP-1 located within City of Ontano, neither of which are at capacity The protect is

e) The proposed protect is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the
Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga
and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which are at capacity No impacts are
anticipated
f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the
refuse at a permitted landfill wdh sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste disposal
needs
g) This protect complies with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding solid
waste The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction procedures
consistent with AB 939 Therefore, no impacts are anticipated
17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the protect have the potential to degrade the () () () (/)
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or ammat, or
eliminate important examples of the mator periods
of California history or prehistory
b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (/)
limited, but cumulatively considerable
(°Cumulatively considerable° means that the
incremental effects of a protect are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
protects, the effects of other current protects, and
the effects of probable future protects)
c) Does the protect have environmental effects that () (/) () ( )
wtll cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly
Comments•
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitroe biological resources as identified on the City of
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3 Additionally, the area surrounding the site is
developed Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any
endangered or rare species would inhabit the site
b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the
site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General
Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-
out in the City and Sphere of Influence The City made findings that adoption of the General
Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air

City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 27
quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources
Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not
reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations balanang the benefits of development under the General Plan
Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines Section
15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing
mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open
space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further
discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required
c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indvectly The Initial Study identifies
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact
Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels Additionally, impacts
resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction actiwties
were completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with
the exposure of people to increased noise levels Mitigation measures contained in this Initial
Study will ensure impacts are at less than significant levels
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one
or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section
15063(c)(3)(D) The effects identified above for this protect were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed m the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects

A Recitals
1 Charles Joseph Associates filed an application on behalf of Aim All Storage for the
issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00850, as descnbed m the title of this Resolution
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subfect Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as °the
application "
2 On the 28th day of April 2004, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said heanng
on that date
3 All legal preregwsites pnor 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 fords 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 dunng the
above-referenced public hearing on April 28, 2004, including wntten and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows.
a The application applies to property located at the southeast corner of Haven
Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of the 210-Freeway, with a street frontage of approximately
405 feet along Haven Avenue, and a lot deptn of approximately 560 feet, which is presently
improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk along Haven Avenue, and
b The property to the north of the subtect site is the 210-Freeway, the property to the
south of the proposed storage facility is proposed to be subdivided by Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16648 into seven lots for single-family detached homes, and the propertyto the east consists
of existing single-family homes, and
c The Conditional Use Permit is intended for a public storage facility, which is allowed
in the Low Residential Distract upon review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit and the
findings noted below (Development Code Section 17 08 030E 5), and
d The proposed manager's apartment is subject to noise levels exceeding 65 CNEL
along Haven Avenue, which can be mitigated to acceptable levels as described m the noise study
prepared for the protect, and

e The proposed protect conforms to the standards and regulations of the
Development Code, in terms of building separation and parking as noted in the staff report, and
f The proposed protect and the intended uses, together with all Conditions of
Approval will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially incurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity The protect proponents are regwred to complete all
missing parkway improvements adtacent to the site The 210-Freeway is a significant generator of
noise that must be mitigated in a residential environment The proposed public storage facility will
act as a sound buffer between the residences and the roadway noise
g. The proposed public storage facility is, by nature of the operation, a facilitythat has
a low activity level, generates little traffic and very little noise, and would therefore provide a buffer
between the 210-Freeway and Haven Avenue and the existing single-family residential
neighborhood, as an alternative to the typical freeway sound wall.
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 proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the obtectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located
b The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially incurious to properties or
improvements m the vicinity
c The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the specific findings of Development Code Section 17 08.030.E 5 as noted
d The development of amine-storage may be considered in residential land use
distracts as a means of mitigating land use conflicts outlined in Section 17.08 050 F. of the
Development Code There are certain locations within the City where residentially zoned properties
are located adtacent to undeveloped parcels of land where this transition between the existing
residential neighborhood and non-residential influences (i.e ,high traffic corridors, commercial or
industrial land uses, etc) is a primary design issue that prevents desirable development, resulting in
such parcels remaining undeveloped or underdeveloped The mini-storage would be considered in
situations where the facility would act as a mitigational buffer for residential developments impacted
by unchangeable environmental issues, such as traffic, noise, and issues determined by the
Planning Commission
4 Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence thatthe protect
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows .
a That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the

therefore reflect the independent tudgment of the Planning Commission, and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the protect is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by the imposition of mitigation measures on the protect, which are
listed below as Conditions of Approval.
c Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753 5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows In considering the record as a whole, the
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the protect, there is no evidence that the
proposed protect will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat
upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the
Planning Commission dunng the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the
presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753 5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations

DRC2004-00050, TO REDUCETHE BUILDING SETBACK TO ZERO FEET
ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTH BOUNDARIES OF A PROPOSED
PUBLIC STORAGE FACILITY, LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF HAVEN AVENUE AND THE EASTBOUND 210-FREEWAY ON-RAMP
IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF - APN 1076-331-02 AND 1076-341-01
A Recitals
1 Charles Joseph Associates fled an application on behalf of Aim All Storage for the
issuance of Variance DRC2004-00050, as described m the title of this Resolution Hereinafter m
this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application "
2 On the 28th day of April 2004, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date
3 All legal preregwsites 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 m 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 April 28, 2004, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically fords as follows.
a The application applies to property located at the southeast corner of Haven
Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of the 210-Freeway, with a street frontage of approximately
405 feet along Haven Avenue, and a lot depth of approximately 560 feet, which is presently
improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk along Haven Avenue, and
b. The application for a Variance was filed in conjunction, and necessitated by, a
related application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00850, to develop a public mmrstorage
faality, and
c The property to the north of the subject site is the 210-Freeway, the propertyto the
south of the proposed storage faality is proposed to be subdivided by Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16648 into seven lots for single-family detached homes, and the property to the east consists
of existing single-family homes, and
d The application proposes to reduce the bwldmg setback to zero feet, whereas, the
standard setback regwrement for a commercial activity that is adjacent to a residential land use is
20 feet, and

VARIANCE DRC2004-00050 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES -AIM ALL STORAGE
April 28, 2004
Page 2
e In this case, because of the inherent design of the public storage facility, a 20-foot
setback would create a "no man's Land" (an area situated between the building wall and a property
line wall that would have limited visibility and no convenient access), and
f. The situation described above results in maintenance problems and difficulty m
policing unauthorized activities within the 20-foot setback areas, and
g The Planning Commission previously approved a similar Variance for a similar
public storage facility for a protect located at the southwest corner of Arrow Route and Hermosa
Avenue.
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 m paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows
a That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result m practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the obtectives
of the Development Code, as noted in the findings above.
b That there are exceptional or extraordinary arcumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same distract, as noted in the fmdmgs above.
c That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprave the applicant of privileges entoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district, as
noted in the fmdmgs above
d That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, as noted in the
findings above
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or materially intunous to properties or improvements in the vicinity, as noted m the fmdmgs

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the protect
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
fmdmgs as follows
a That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder, that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent tudgment of the Planning Commission, and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application

SUBJECT CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2004-00201 -
FRED SANCHEZ - An appeal of the City Planner's decision denying a request for
the removal of Mexican Fan palm tree, located at 7638 Pepper Street -
APN 0208-711-13
BACKGROUND
r• Mr Sanchez applied for a Tree Removal Permit on February 29, 2004 Staff investigated the
site and evaluated the request as specified in Section 19 08 060 of the Tree Preservation
Ordinance The criteria for removal were reviewed and the application was denied on March
11, 2004 Mr Sanchez then filed an appeal to the Planning Commission In a timely manner
TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Heritage trees are protected by the City's Tree
Preservation Ordinance (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, Chapter 19 08) The Ordinance
states that the goal is to preserve healthy trees as a valuable natural resource, which helps to
define the community's character Trees provide scenic beauty, prevent soil erosion, provide
shade, maintain temperate climate, provide wind buffer, and act as a filter to remove pollution
from the air
The City's Tree Preservation Ordinance Ilsts reasons why trees may be considered for removal,
such as poor health, weak structure, danger of collapse, damage to improvements, etc In
reviewing a Tree Removal Permit request, staff must also consider the necessity to remove a
tree in order to construct improvements, the number of trees In the neighborhood, whether the
trees are required to be saved by any plan, Condition of Approval, or designation as a Historic
Landmark The Ordinance states that removal is the last resort, and that redesigning planned
home improvements to save trees in place Is preferred If design change is infeasible, then
relocation of the tree by transplanting is the preferred alternative to removal An arbonst can
advise on the feasibility of relocation
In cases where tree removal Is tustified, the Ordinance requires replacement with the largest
. nursery grown tree available as determined by the Clty Planner The cost of replacing this tree
In kind is estimated to be at $2,000 00, including transportation, but not Including removal of old
tree or planting of the new tree

Page 2
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION The following criteria are used for evaluation of the request
Criteria 1 The condition of the tree with respect to disease, danger of collapse of all or any
portion of the tree, proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility
services
FacUs The tree appears to be free of disease No evidence was submitted by the
applicant regarding the tree's health
The tree is not hazardous (i e , potential of falling branches) All trees have this
potential, however, when properly maintained, this risk is lessened
The tree is located within the side yard set back, approximately 5 feet from the
house and 6 inches from the property line
The tree does not cause interference with utility services
Criteria 2 The necessity to remove a tree in order to construct improvements which allow
economic entoyment of the property •
FacUs The applicant wants to build a brick wall along the side property line A wall can be
constructed with a gap of wrought iron (that regwres no footing) It should be
noted that the tree is located seven feet in front of house, hence, it is not necessary
for privacy to build a wall to enclose the side yard/rear yard at this location If a
physical separation is desired along the side property line all the way out to the
public sidewalk, then many options are available that do not requue a footing
Although the applicant desires to re-landscape the property, it is not necessary to
remove the tree to construct improvements, which allow economic entoyment of
the property To the contrary, this stately tree should be incorporated as a primary
feature in the new landscape Incorporating existing mature trees, which have
considerable aesthetic and dollar value should be a basis for developing a new
landscape concept
The tree location will not interfere with installing a sprinkler system According to
the applicant's Site Plan, the tree is 7 feet from the house
Criteria 3 The number of trees existing in the neighborhood and the effect the removal would
have on the established character of the area and the property values
Facts Many of the heritage trees in the area are not located in the front yards The
Mexican Fan palm tree, located at 7638 Pepper Street is part of the established
character of the neighborhood The tree is estimated to be approximately 40 feet
tall (about three times the height of the single-story home), hence, is visually
prominent within the neighborhood character There is another, taller, Mexican
Fan palm tree at 7658 Pepper Street (two lots to the north)

This above mentioned Pepper property was purchased on Jan 17, '03 This home has been an eyesore to the
neighborhood for many years. The neighbors, certainly aren't pleased with the condition of this home.
Our plans are to landscape the outside of the home with brick, sod and plants for curbside appeal. Thus, bringing
the value of the neighbood up. The Palm tree stands about 20 feet high and has never been trimmed. The tree's
location was, obviously, not planned well. The tree is approximately 5 inches from the property line. A brick wall
cannot be added due to the tree. The tree location poses a problem with my plans of metalling a sprinkler system.
We are concerned with falling branches from the tree. A child could be injured. Dunng a Santa Ana wind, this
tree could be hazardous due to its heigth. The cost to trim the rtree would be about 400 a year.
This tree provides no shade, It houses many rodents and other creatures.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Coleman.
We are disappointed with your denial about the tree removal. This home was purchased from my mothers trust
The home was appraised at 185,000. well below market value due to iYs poor condition. 1 only paid half that
amount.
This home was abandoned in 1998. The home has been an eyesore for many years. The Pepper home has been
vandalized several times Weed Abatement notices have gone out each year. The weeds were four feet tall
many times during those years (picture enclosed) The neighbors are not at all happy with it's condition and how
it reflected on their selling ability of their homes The neighbors to the South of Pepper have been unable 1b sell
their home.
We are more than willing to plant anothertree. We have a list of contractors
we can contact rf they want the tree for an industrial area. This list was provided by Ms Shaunda Bello.
Ms. Bello was in agreement with us She felt we had a legitimate reason for removal of the tree. Our plans
include a brick wall between the homes This tree is located 6 inches from the property line. The footing for the
brick wall requires at least 9-12 inches which is in direct conflict with the tree. Thus, not allowing me to construct
• a block wall.
The tree is a gorgeous tree that would frt in nicely in an industrial area or mall or in a neighborhood of two story
homes 1 feel the tree is inproporhonate to the size of the Pepper home and lot
We simply do not have the finances to trim this tree each year. My husband will be retiring soon. We will be on a
fixed income. I am on disability due to Multiple Sclerosis Our 29 year old daughter will be renting this home.
We ask at this time that you reconsider your decision.
Sincerely,
Fred and Debbie Sanchez

Development m the immediate area includes a single-family neighborhood, referred to as
Brentwood Estates/Shendan Estates, located on the east side of Wardman-Bullock Road, a
proposed Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16324, referred to as Henderson Creek, is proposed north
of the annexation area at the north end of Wardman-Bullock Road, and a proposed Tentatve
Tract Map SUBTT16072 is currently being processed on the west side of East Avenue, both
proposed protects include separate annexations to the City Future residential development within
the area proposed as Low Residential will be compatible and consistent with Brentwood Estates
and the proposed Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072, becoming a part of the larger North
Etiwanda Community, and the Etiwanda Highlands and Upper Etiwanda neighborhoods as
identified in the Specific Plan

OFFSHORING: "Relocation of business functions and processes
to a lower-cost location on a long-term basis."
- "The Cusp of a Reuoluhon, "Deloute Research, 2003
"Offshormg" of knowledge-based lobs poses
the greatest threat to America's office markets
since the massive overbmldmg of the 1980s
Coming on top of the dot-coin collapse and
the presence of large amounts of leased (but
unused) shadow space, which have pushed
vacancy to 17% overall, the current and
potential loss of hundreds of thousands of
office-oriented lobs to foreign countries virtu-
ally guarantees high office vacancy over the
short- to medium-term Eventually, America's
resdien[ economy will generate replacemen[
lobs, but at this point, the characteristics of
such new employment elude definition
Exportation of office-based service lobs is
a popular topic m [he press, but little aaennon
has been focused on the imphcations for
America's real estate inventory Hence, this
issue paper has two goals (1) to suggest pos-
sible real estate effects and, because this
situation has crept up on the industry, (2) to
review how offshoring of office lobs has
evolved and is expanding The bulk of the
paper is devoted to the second subject - so
that real estate practitioners wdl understand
the major workplace transformation that is
under way
Fust a caveat quantifications of the
number of lobs likely to move abroad are
imprecise, to say the least Most observers ate
the 2002 predictions by the U S Department
of Labor and Forrester Research, Inc (see
Figure 1) As shown, a cumulative total of
3 3 million knowledge-based lobs are expected
to leave the United States by 2015 To date,
400,000 to 450,000 such lobs have been lost
Anecdotal information suggesrs that [he Lne
on Figure 1 is actually rising more steeply as
one company after another embraces the cost
savings available through offshonng, therefore,
the 2015 date might become 2010 or 2012
Nonetheless, the numerical projections

Even though 3 3 million lobs represent

signtfican[ Assuming an average of 175 square

resents 580 million square feet of reduced

about a year's average new office construction
`Job loss' recovery will keep

Frgure 2 puts the sttuanon m perspective
America's mulntenant office inventory totals
about 3 6 billion square feet After subtracting
today's 17% vacancy, the occupied inventory
aggregates [0 3 billion square feet If the pro-
lecuons mFigure 1 are correct, the reduction
' As discussed m ULI's Real Fstate Market Analyse
(Schmitz and Brea 2001, 99), space per office
employee vanes by function, however, 177 square
fee[ is probably on the low side, allowing for the
faa [ha[ offshored lobs are typically performed m
cubes
to tenant demand over the next 11 years will
[oral 500 million square feet, or 17% of the
occupied mvenrory Many of those lobs will
eventually be replaced, but in the short- to
medium-term, a is reasonable to assume that
the jobless recovery - or lob loss recovery -
will keep office vacancy rates high in most
locations Thal, m [urn, means that real rents
are unlikely to nse, and outlays for tenant
improvements and concessions will not come
down The effect on values will be negative
The prospect for offtce building owners
and developers is sobering In an [deal world,
new construction would be halted until
vacancy dropped to 10%, at which porn[ rents
tend to nse However, because development
never stops completely, office vacancy will
probably go up between now and whenever

use of the Internet, location is increasingly
fungible, and lower-cost overseas employees
can do many office lobs as well or better than
Americans
So how did this situation quietly evolve
And what kinds of lobs are moving offshore
Evolution of Service Job Offshoring
Offshonng of information technology and
software development activrnes began over
10 years ago, partly because America could not
generate skilled employees fast enough to
keep up with burgeoning demand and partly
because companies recognized [he strong
capabilities of immigrants, especially well-
educated newcomers from India If Indian
immigrants were so well trained, why not
go directly to the sources As the head of
GE Capital India says, "We lust realized that
the biggest thing India gives us is its m[e]lee["
(Slater 2003) So software development began
to migrate overseas
The intense work required for Y2K com-
pliance dramatically accelerated offshonng
All the coding that had to be examined and
reworked - at the peak of the telecom and
dot-coin boom -could not be accomplished
domestically, so contractors scrambled to find
technical help Ireland and South Asian coun-
tries were benefiaanes of this tedious but
essential work, which was performed effi-
aently and accurately
Next, computer companies put "help" lines
m India, where English rs the first language for
the educated middle and upper classes In
1997, call centers dealing with broader busi-
ness processes began to move offshore - to
Canada, Ireland, Central Europe, India, the
Philippines, Maunnus, Costa Rica, etc Today,
India has an estimated 100,000 call center lobs,
and there are over 6,000 in the Philipprnes
Language is obviously a key issue for this
business Therefore, German companies [urn
to Poland and the Czech Republic, where more
residents speak German Similarly, Spanish
companies may offshore to Central America
U S and U K companies have a pamcularly
wide choice because English is the first or
second language in so many developing
counmes
A prime driver for call center offshonng
is the "follow the sun" model, whereby com-
panies get 24-hour coverage by migrating
call center telephone lines to three locations
around the globe Under this system, all work-
ers can be on day shifts, and overtime pay is
unnecessary Depending on when your refrig-
erator conks out, you might speak to someone
m Canada, Poland, or India (This is a perfect
example of productivity and cost improve-
ments through re-engineering the 24-hour
service function )
Offshoring explains some of
today's office vacancy.
Because very large, global companies were
the initial offshorers, any loss of domestic
employment occurred m corporate faahues
and did not make it onto the radar screens of
real estate industry observers When offshonng
accelerated m the late 1990s, it coincided with
the dot-coin collapse and consequently was
not recognrzed as a discrete cause of office lob
loss Clearly, as discussed earlrer, a portion of
the high office vacancy of the last four years is
attributable to offshonng
Once software development and call cen-
ters were functioning well abroad, offshonng
transitioned [o what is called Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) Simply put, the back
office is sent abroad -made possible by the

Internet As shown m Figure 3, a wide range
of IT-enabled functions -from insurance
claim processing to mortgage loan servicing
and lease abstracting -can be performed m
remote locations where salaries are much
lower As a company successfully offshores
one of these processes, managers tend to look
for other opportunities to do the same thing
Microsoft executives are quoted as saying that,
because they can get two heads for the price
of one, each department should "pick some-
thing to offshore today "This multiplier effect
escalates lob loss
Globalization keeps paces of services
under control and allows companies to repon
profits, repeating what happened in the gar-
ment, appliance, toy, and home-tool mdustnes
when manufacturing moved abroad A high
proportion of the corporate profits reported
m 2003 were the result of expense reduction,
not revenue growth, and a ponion of those
profits were generated by both outsourcing
and offshonng
In addmon to business processes, high-
value engmeenng lobs are moving (or
expanding) abroad In 1999, for example,
Motorola announced that its R&D headquarters
would be based m Beymg, employing 5,000
people Similarly, Caterpillar has a substantial
R&D operation m Moscow Delphi, the big
automotive parts manufacturer, employs engi-
neers mPoland, Brazil, Mexico, and India
because in those locations they can hire three
qualified engineers for the pace of one m the
United States
Medical and pharmaceutical tasks are being
offshored as well Some activities are relocated,
but in other cases, exploding demand cannot
be handled adequately by Americans An
example of the latter is radiology Doctors
today are ordering far more CAT scans and
X-rays than 10 years ago, and U S techniaans
cannot handle the volume Web-based image
resolution is so clear that radiologists can
be located wherever they can plug m their
laptops, so hospitals are sending films co
Australia and India to be read or be converted
from two-dimensional to three-dimensional

American radiologists can afford co be picky,

offshonng is driven by excess demand, rather
than lower cost
In the pharmaceutical industry, offshonng
reduces costs, locates acnvmes close to rapidly
growing consumer markets, and avoids hmita-
tions on research that are being legislated m
[he United States For many years, pharma-
ceuticals have been manufac[ured overseas,
but now more of the science is occurring off-
shore, along wah such routine functions as
literature searches and preparation of patent
applications
As offshored lobs rise up the value chain,
they remove tenants from higher-quahry office
buddmgs Once limited to one-story software
development and call center "boxes" in indus-
trial and business parks, offshonng's impact
moved [o R&D laboratories and mid-rise sub-
urban buddmgs housing business processing
operations More recently, as Wall S[reet firms
offshore credit analysis and law firms use for-
eign researchers, Class Ahigh-rises are losing
tenant space Given the range of offshorable
acuvwes, no type or location of private office
space is inviolable (The one exception is gov-
ernment agenaes, most of which will remain
m the United States and therefore will become
more appealing as office tenants )
As offshonng involves higher skilled lobs,
rt is also expanding steadily at the lower levels,
so the South and Midwest will lose more call
centers, more benefits processing, and more
loan servicing Meanwhile, Boston, the Silicon
Valley, and Seattle continue to see the transfer
of [ethnology lobs
In other words, office tenancy will be
eroded even as the economy recovers, so
vacancy rates are unlikely to Fal] m the shoe
term Eventually, America will create new
office lobs, but on a net basis, growth may not
be meaningful for several years Even [hough
much of the vacancy will occur m Class A-
and B buildings, [he avadabiliry of such office
space at bargain rents will keep downward
pressure on all rates
Key Drivers of Offshoring
Technological innovation enabled the off-
shonng described above Thanks to the
Internet, global digitization, and high-speed
data networks, the same electronic reservoir
can be made available to everyone within a
company -and location does not matter
Two other key fac[ors are the rapid accelera-
tion of education, espeaally higher education,
and of English, German, and French fluency
m the developing world, which together
create an appealing and available labor force
The United States produces 1 25 million
college graduates each year, whereas India
graduates 3 1 million and China will generate
about 2 8 million this year, up from 2 1 million
to 2003 The Philippines' population is only
one-quarter [he size of the U S's, but [hey
graduate one-third as many students from col-
lege annually In particular, the Philippines
educate more accountants than they can use
domestically, and the graduates are trained
to U S standards, so there is an attractive
reservoir for America's large and mid-sized
accounting firms
To illustrate today's situation, Asia is ahead
of America m the up and coming saenti6c area
of nanotechnology According to the National
Saence Foundation, nearly 25,000 graduates of
Asian colleges received doctoral degrees m
2000 m fields related to nanotechnology,

Furthermore, of the 18,000 scientific articles
published m 2000 that mentioned nano-

United States In cutting edge saence and
engmeenng, skilled minds are scattered around
the world -and are increasingly able to
communicate with one another electronically,
which speeds up the transfer of information
and the progress of innovation America's
long-standing permanent and student immi-
gration policies have produced excellent
cultural and academic connections to the
major cultures accommodating offshoring
The huge diaspora of Indian and Chinese
entrepreneurs are culturally finked with their
countries of origin and can facilitate business
relationships Thus, long-term immigration
patterns are giving American companies an
offshoring edge

non, review and quality control, etc - so
the savings from lower salaries and
avoidance of overtime do not drop entirely
to the bottom line Nevertheless, offshoring
probably reduces costs by 2>% to 30% overall,
which is still a huge saving Furthermore,
as discussed m the next section, if a firm's
competitors are capturing 30% cost savings,
chat company is compelled to consider
doing the same Thts pattern has been re-
peated none manufacturing industry after
another
Cost is a key driver for offshoring, but the
rewards are frequently much broader In the
course of examining processes to be moved,
re-engmeenng may occur that dramatically
increases productivity (and might end up
generating greater lob loss) Also, overseas
employees' educational level is often higher
Chan would be typical m the United States
Call centers are generally staffed by college
graduates in India, for example, which is not
the case in the United States Also, offshoring
companies comment on how motivated and
enthusiastic their employees are m the devel-
oping world
Technology has made locations fungible,
and there are sharp cost differences between
developed and developing countries Press
articles emphasize that six Indian MBAs can be
hired for the pace of one American, three
Mexican engineers cost what one does m the
Unwed States, or two software developers can
be employed abroad for the price of a single
American Although significant differentials will
remain, they wilt be eroded somewhat as sala-
ries rise m Asia and fall m the United States

salaries, which escalated in the late '90s, have
dropped by as much as 20% )

Companies' Competitive Pressures
As mentioned earlier, once several companies
within an industry offshore enough activities
to gam meaningful bottom-line resulu, their
competitors have little choice but to follow
suu Finanaal services offer an example
According to a Deloitte Research white paper
(Gentle 2003), financal services employment
[orals 13 million m mature industrial econo-
mies Deloit[e predicts that 15% of those
employees will move offshore over the next
five years, and of the two million lobs pro-
tected to be lost from developed countries,
730,000 will be European, 400,000 will be
Japanese, and 8>0,000' will be American On
the receiving end, India is expected to capture
half the work
of their heavily unionized labor forces Hence,
they may prefer to outsource to intermediaries
chat, rn turn, offshore Even so, there is specu-
lation that American companies might cut their
costs more quickly, lower paces, and capture
market share from European competitors
Eventually, that could tugger U S lob growth
As companies respond to bo[h compehuve
pressure and a compulsion to lower costs, off-
shonng will escalate Ina 2003 Business Week
cover story on offshonng (Engardio, Bernstein,
and Knpalani 2003), Ganner Inc 's research
duector, Frances Karamouzis, was ated as
anunpating that "40°h of America's top 1,000
companies will at least have an overseas pilot
protect under way within two years," which
would be by the end of this year She also
predicted that white-collar offshonng practices
wdl not be standardized until the end of this
decade, at which point lob shifts will rise
sharply
Global firms such as Gnbank and
General Elecmc were pioneers m offshonng
knowledge-based lobs, mrtially establishing
direct, company-owned operations and later
making use of intermediaries as well Since
then, numerous firms have evolved ro facilitate
offshonng -from Wipro, Infosys, and Tata in
India, to Xansa and Client Logic m England,
to Cognizant Technology Solutions, IBM
Global Sernces, Convergys, Accenture, and
OfficeTiger m the United States - so help
is available for mid-sized firms Forrester
Research has predicted that middle-market
companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees wdl
be doing 10% of America's services offshonng
by 2005, as compared to a 1°/o share m 2001
(Overby 2001) Because mid-sized companies
are more likely to rent than own their office
space, this emerging trend will directly affect
mulutenant buildings
Business models are being developed to
facilitate offshonng by small companies In
Offshoring pressure is growing in
financial services - a mainstay of
office occupancy.
By 2008, when chose two million lobs have
migra[ed to lower-cost locations, Deloitte
predicts that the world's top 100 financial
services companies will have annual savings
of 5138 billion - an average bottom-line gain
of S1 4 billion per company per year Any
firm choosing not to capture savings of that
magnitude simply will not be competitive
Therefore, pressure to get on the offshonng
bandwagon is building m the fmanaal services
industry, which is a mainstay of office building
occupancy m all developed coun[nes
European companies are expected to Face
considerable resistance to offshonng because
°The prolec[ed annual average of 170,000 Financial
services lobs being offshored equates to 30 million
vacated square feet of office space each year, some
of which will be in company-owned buildings

which is rising sharply m thts decade The
first Babyboomers reach 65 m 2010, and it will
cake 20 years for all of them to attain that mile-
stone Because the United Stales is growing
steadily, the issue is not the absolute size
of [he labor force but rather the dramatically
higher dependency ratio of elderly and
children to workers Today, for example,
three people are on Social Security for every
10 workers In 2030, there will be five bene-
ficiaries for each 10 workers

almost exactly the same size as the Boomer
cohort, is now en[enng the labor force and
will help to replenish the supply of potential
workers Those relatively well educated young
people are the ones for whom meaningful

that should be one of America's highest, par-
ticularly as entry- and mid-level software
development, data processing, financial analy-
sts, due diligence, and other procedural lobs
are offshored Creation of replacement lobs is
importani on three counts to employ the
country's educated youth, to mam[ain Ameri-

provide tenants for existing office buildings

U.S. Office Market Implications
As discussed at the outset, a is likely chat fur-
ther lob eliminations resulting from offshonng
will mean a reduction m demand of 500 mil-
Lon square Eeet of office space over the next
10 years, with an escalation m lobs transferring
overseas coward the end of this decade In
truth, offshonng of knowledge-based lobs
could accelerate earlier, and the number of
affected lobs could be much larger Staying
with the base figures, though, the implications
for office building owners and developers are
very serious
• Today's high-teens vacancy rates will be
prolonged, thanks to a jobless recovery for
office workers Although call center and
data processing facilities will experience
the greatest shop-term effects from off-
shonng, R&D, better quality suburban, and
downtown office buildings will no[ be ex-

constrained by the shadow space that
large corporations are carrying within

large extent, those hubs are in such secon-

• America's hegemony m finance, deal

deployment is not at risk for the time
being, wfuch is positive for the Manhattan,
San Francesco, Boston, and Charlotte office
markets Nonetheless, the extensive back
office operations of finanaal institutions are
excellent candidates for offshonng, which
could vacate massive amounts of space m
those and other metropolitan areas
• The ]east affected locations will be gov-
ernment centers - Washington, D C ,and
many state capitals -because it will not
be politic to offshore government lobs,
even though the cost savings could be
substantial
