Aubrey Campbell commended the Engineering Department regarding the interchange @ Foothill & the I-15, as he felt it was previously a death trap. C2. Rex Gutierrez, 11021 Carlow Ct., said he recommends that people do attend the production put on by the Xpressions of Youth. He said in his publication, Rancho Today, there is an article on Xpressions of Youth. Mr. Gutierrez said in the Western League of Cities Magazine there is an article on the electricity industry, and he felt there were ideas that would help the City save money for the residents and the City, and possibly create a revenue stream. Mr. Gutierrez said Vineyard Little League won the City championship in their leagues and thought it might be worth looking into presenting a proclamation or certificates to each of the participants at a Council meeting. Mr. Gutierrez suggested that staff remind the developers that when they have completed a job on the landscaping areas, to hurry and replace the dead grass, fences, etc., specifically @ Milliken and Victoria Park Lane. Mr. Gutierrez stated in attending hearings with Cattrans and SANBAG about the Route 30 freeway, a lot of neighbors do not know what their property behind the freeway corridor will look like, so he thought it would be a nice idea for the Planning Department to work with Caltrans and develop a color-coded map of the freeway corridor identifying properties and the sound walls. Mayor Alexander asked how many residential areas do not have sound walls. Rex Gutierrez said at the last meeting in E:tiwanda there were a number of neighbors present that Caltrans said did not require sound walls.. Shintu Bose, Deputy City Engineer, said that east of East Avenue there are a few homes where a sound wall is not needed. Rex Gutierrez said the point he wanted to make is that for informational purposes it would be very convenient for the residents to see what their status is and would recommend a map for this purpose. Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated that anybody who is interested in coming down to the Planning Department to review maps that Planning or Engineering have, staff would be more than happy to explain to them the impact that may or rnay not be from the freeway or the interchange, and would address any questions they have. Rex Gutierrez stated that there are two streets that intersect, Ramona and Devon, and it is confusing because the sign at Devon says "8200" block, and it should be "9800". The Ramona side should read "8200" block, instead of "8100". Mayor Alexander stated on items such as these you don't have to wait for a Council meeting to address these issues. City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 3 Mr. Gutierrez stated the reason he does is because he covers these meetings now for his publication, the Rancho Cucamonga Today. Mr. Gutierrez said he heard from a parent that at Rancho Cucamonga High School the girls' bathroom becomes cloudy due to cigarette smoke. He suggested that when the City has the meeting with the School District maybe it could be addressed to them that this might be a problem. Mayor Alexander stated it is illegal to smoke on any school property. Toni Rhodes, 15100 Arrow Rt., stated it was nice to be able to sit here and hear the proclamation read for the parks and recreation and hear the word "all?' When her and her daughter Christy were in Washington discussing with people from other states the problems that adults with disabilities have, it was nice to be able to talk about a ramp at Heritage Park. She wanted to say thank you. In regards to the children (Xpressions of Youth), she thinks it is wonderful that it was suggested that they do performances for seniors, but it would also be super if they did so for people with disabilities.

CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION TO ESTABLISH A SPEED LIMIT OF 30 MPH ON CAMINO PREDERA FROM RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE TO 200 FEET NORTH OF PREDERA COURT Staff report presented by Jori Gillespie, Traffic Engineer. Mayor Alexander asked if there is any way we can simply go ahead and legitimately or logically post this 25 (MPH) as opposed to waiting until we get something built there and then have to change the sign. Jon Gillespie, Traffic Engineer, said the courts are strict on the 85t~ percentlie, being 35 MPH; we are dropping it five, and to drop it ten, the courts. may decide we're not reasonable and throw our tickets out. Jon Gillespie, Traffic Engineer, stated when the homes are built it can be reduced again by 5 MPH. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: Rex Gutierrez, 11021 Carlow Ct., stated in 1996 he was walking door to door and met a family at the bottom of this drive who complained about the speed. He does not know whether a blinking light might be in order, but no matter what you do he does think that selective enforcement is going to be one of the big answers; to have an officer present on a motorcycle might help a lot, because he does not think the people will even notice that the speed limit has been changed by 5 MPH. There being no response, the public hearing was closed Kathryn L. Scott, Deputy City Clerk, read the title of Ordinance No. 590. ORDINANCE NO. 590 (first reading) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 10.20.020 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT ON CAMINO PREDERA City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 7 MOTION: Moved by Biane, seconded by C:uratalo to waive full reading and set second reading of Ordinance No. 590 for July 15, 1998. H. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS H 1. UPDATE ON COUNTY CONDITIQNAL USE PERMIT CUP/97-0007/W139-45- Update on Ling Yen Mountain Temple and Retreat Facility project, located approximately 1 mile north of the intersection of Wardman Bullock Road and Wilson Avenue within the City's Sphere of Influence - APN: 226-061-72, 73, and 74. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report. Mayor Alexander asked if this particular parcel is within the sphere of the fire district for protection. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, answered it is actually within the district boundaries. Our sphere boundaries are a different situation; the fire district actually includes our sphere of influence in their district boundaries; they do not have to annex it. If it is a wild land area, the fire district is not responsible for protection, but once it is urbanized or developed, then they assume the role of having to protect that site. Councilmember Curatalo said he has read all the reports, and it seems that the County is skirting the issue of environmental impact reports. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said he would have to concur, and that would be his personal judgment. Councilmember Curatalo asked if there is any particular reason why they are avoiding this issue. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said we have asked them and they feel that they can address it through special studies and not require an environmental impact report. He said that the Leona Klipstein groups, Friends of the Sage, have also issued a 21-page letter from their attorney agreeing with our view that an EIR is necessary and also asking Fish and Wildlife and Fish and Game to get involved in that discussion. Councilmember Curatalo asked if we are putting some pressure on them through our Planning Department. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said that when the first preliminary plans came out, we did receive some County staff support, however that support has somewhat changed as of late. Councilmember Curatalo said he would appreciate being kept apprised of this. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, reviewed the exhibits. Mayor Pro-Tem Williams requested that he point out how this is going to affect the natural drainage that normally occurs there. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said they will have to create a drainage entry device to a pipe that will run under the cliff and then into the existing detention area south of there; and this will require significant drainage improvements. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, discussed the parking as shown on the exhibits. City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 8 Architectural styles in Etiwanda North were discussed. Councilmember Biane said that on a public safety issue he can understand why someone cannot build a specific architectural style. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated that from an architectural standpoint overall, the Etiwanda North Plan was looking for a rural type of low-key style for the foothills so that the aesthetic views from below looking up to it would be unobtrusive and would not detract from the mountain or natural views. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that the Etiwanda North Specific Plan did address the issue of architectural styles and it did give a wide variety of ranges of architectural styles that could be permitted in that area, and most of the homes that have been approved in the Etiwanda area fit in with that pattern of architecture, and the oriental style that is here is not one of those that was identified. Mayor Alexander asked if they could overcome the problems, has facilities such as these subtracted from surrounding property values or have they remained the same. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated that in the Hacienda Heights area property values increased dramatically. In terms of affordability it's a negative; in terms of a property owner, it's a windfall. Councilmember Williams asked if the County has addressed the issue that the State usually suggests that the difference be given to the City as far as design, etc., who has the sphere of influence. She said it is assumed by LAFCO upon placing that in the sphere that the City will now have the final say, or primary interest, in service provision and in development of that particular piece of property, because that is what a sphere indicates. She said she has not been able to receive an answer back from the County as to why they would choose to ignore our right to have influence over our own sphere of influence. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said we have not really received a response, but approximately seven years ago the County amended its newly-adopted genera~ plan to eliminate the provision that you just mentioned, that required them to conform to the sphere of influences of every city within their county. They amended their General Plan policy to say they will "consider." Mayor Alexander asked Councilmember Williams if we are anywhere near proposing annexation. Mayor Pro Tem Williams said we could propose annexation anytime we want, but it takes the consensus of the landowner. Brad Buller, City Planner, said this particular project is not adjacent to our city boundaries. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said staff has been told by the County that the landowner of this project has been transferred. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, said we did get a few phone calls by concerned residents in Rancho Cucamonga, who may be in the audience. He said the applicant may have sent a representative, as we did invite them, and we also invited County staff, however they declined to attend. Brad Belvedere, 240 E. 52"d Street, San Bernardino, said he is considering becoming a resident in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. He said he and his wife thought this to be the most desirable area, unfortunately they found out late last week that the temple was up for approval through the County of San Bernardino. They picked this particular area because of the view and vista of the mountains; it had a nice quiet road (Wardman/Bullock) and he said our tract would be served by this particular City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 9 street, but now there will be up to 600 people coming to visit this site. He said traffic is inadequate. He said it is totally unthinkable to put a =project of this size behind a residential complex. He said in the Hacienda Heights area it put a big burden on the homeowners, with a lot of feuding. He said all Asian people have bought the property; they have taken a diverse amount of people in the community and centralized them. He said you lose diversity. He also stated that the sales office for the Standard Pacific Homes are not informing prospective buyers about the proposed temple. Rex Gutierrez, 11021 Carlow Ct., stated as a concerned citizen he thinks it's unfortunate that the people who want to build this church are not here to represent themselves to answer some of these questions. He said there are a lot of religious people in this community, and we need to be careful in this debate. We need to be careful about using any type of argument that would make any negative insinuations that could be racial or religious. However, he did say it was unfair for a developer to not disclose that information. He said we should concentrate on the drainage, landscape issues and less on the fear of this unknown into the city. Toni Rhodes, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that what makes this community so special is our foothills. She said at some point you have to decide if enough is enough. She said it is not about a temple; it is about a building; however, if it is a Buddist Temple, it should look like one. She is really concerned about the environment and as a resident of this community she would hate to see us lose the foothills to anything or anybody.. Mayor Alexander said it would be appropriate to provide a synopsis of the comments from this evening to the County. Mayor Pro Tem said she is really concerned about a 96-foot tall building. She said in our foothill plan it is mentioned about sculpting the building into the environment it is in, and she thinks the word "sculpting" is a very important architectural word because it would cause it to blend in so that it does not stick out like a sore thumb. She said this would be a huge piece of stucco sticking up, and we're also talking about a lot of cars and one road. This could present a problem with respect to any emergency situation, and she is really concerned about that. She said she is also concerned about the septic system, which she feels is a major blunder. She said this is a huge edifice on the side of our foothills. Councilmember Curatalo said he would like to make sure that Planning understands his position and that he does not want Planning to accept anything at that scale in that area without an environmental impact report. He said he is upset with the County for changing the regulations, and he would like the County to know that. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that staff will present these concerns to County staff and eventually the Commission, and will keep the City Council informed as new information becomes available. Mayor Alexander stated that the Council is emphatic about the EIR and the access which meets the Fire Department's standards. I. COUNCIL BUSINESS I1. CITY COUNCIL LIBRARY SUBCOMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS (oral) Diane O'Neal, Management Analyst II, presented the oral report. She said the Library Subcommittee is recommending Joyce Womack and the reappointment of Ede Swistock to the Library Board of Trustees. City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 10 MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Biane to accept the Library Subcommittee's recommendation. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0. 12. CITY COUNCIL PARK & RECREATION S. UBCOMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS (oral) Mayor Alexander gave the oral presentation. He said the Park and Recreation Subcommittee is recommending Martin Dickey, Gary Bemis, and the reappointment of James Clopton to the Park and Recreation Commission. MOTION: Moved by Biane, seconded by Curatalo to accept the Park & Recreation Subcommittee's recommendation. Motion carried unanimously, 4-0. 13. PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES UPDATE DISCUSSION ON EXPLORING CrTY-SPONSORED BOXING PROGRAM. Mayor Alexander said he would like to see 'various avenues for youth in our community to develop. He said in certain areas of our community we have developed some very fine programs, but we don't have anything that really relates to kids who would like to become involved in a boxing program. He said there is a world champion, who is no longer boxing, who wants to donate a lot of his life and time to some kids and he would like to advise the City on how economically a program like this can be done. Jack Lam, City Manager, said staff has done some preliminary investigation, but have not completed the work yet. Dave Moore, Recreation Superintendent, presented the staff report regarding a proposed year-round boxing program and a boxing event fundraiser at the Epicenter. Zack Padilla, former professional welterweight champion boxer, stated that he is the best boxing trainer in the world. He said he loves the sport and it: has kept him out of trouble. He won a World Championship and he loves seeing the kids become involved in the sport. He wants to reach out to kids and help them achieve a goal. Mayor Alexander asked if there is something wherein we could start out at a more minimal level and work our way up, or is this something that needs to be started at the top. Zack Padilla stated with respect to a gyrn, you can start without air conditioning, showers, weights, which would save a lot of money. You need mirrors, one boxing ring, heavy bags and good trainers. Mayor Alexander stated that he has been to Zack's house, and there is nobody more enthusiastic about helping kids and doing something for the community. He would like to try and find something to put together. Mayor Pro Tem asked if there has been any discussion with the YMCA with respect to a partnership. She said previously there were businesses in town who were very much in favor of getting a boxing program started, and they were at the time looking at the YMCA as a partner in this. She asked if that was a good place to start, as they (the YMCA) might be able to provide space. Zack Padilla said he has never heard of a situation with the YMCA involved. Mayor Alexander said this is a tremendous opportunity right now for us to get into something that will offer youth exposure to a lot of sports people. City Council Minutes July 1, 1998 Page 11 Councilmember Biane stated there must a way to put ourselves into a building. He said there are industrial building for sale that are affordable. He asked if there were other funding sources through the budget that could be used. Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager, said there are a Io1: of areas that staff needs to explore. He said they need to pursue discussions with the YMCA and other possibilities. Mayor Pro Tam Williams said this is a good start. She said the staff report was one of the most thorough reports she has ever seen, and really appreciates it. Zack Padilla to work together with staff to pursue options on promoting a fundraising event. J. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING No items identified for the next meeting. K.
