The General Plan also identifies proposed locations of an elementary school and a park site These designations are "floating", identifying the need within the general vicinity The school district has recently purchased property for the elementary school on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Intermediate school The park site had not been identified prior to this application, which includes public open space (park site) on Etiwanda Avenue adjacent to the Intermediate school and the Inland Empire Pacific Electrical trail corridor General Plan Designations -Park Site -Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) North - Intermediate School South - Low-Medwm Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West - Very Low Residential (up to 2 dwelimg units per acre) D Site Characteristics Both the site of the proposed tentative tract and the park site are uniformly sloping with only minor variations m the topography caused by past agricultural activities The soils are uniformly a sandy loam, which have been highly disturbed by regular discing The mixed ruderal grassland, along with remnants of the Eucalyptus windrows, is the only plant community present on the two sites. Both sites have been severely affected by historic agricultural operations, including discing. Recently Caltrans constructed a curvilinear realignment of Highland Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue across the tentative tract site • A potential Historic Landmark (Landmark Designation DRC2001-00337) is located on the tentatve tract site at 13151 Highland Avenue The Kemp house is a large two-story house, square m design, reflecting the Colonial Revival "Foursquare" style The architectural style of ~°~~~i PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16195 & DRC2001-00325 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES July 11, 2001 • Page 3 the structure suggests that the house may have been constructed after the turn of the twentieth century. Marcus Kemp and his family were early citrus growers in the Etiwanda community, and Marcus Kemp was listed as a shareholder in the Etiwanda Fruit Company Assessor's records establish the family's association with this property as far back as 1895. The house has been significantly altered, as it originally had an elaborate front porch and balcony, and all of the surrounding out buildings have been removed. Both sites contain remains of the windrow system planted with Eucalyptus 'Blue Gums' to protect the agricultural crops from the high winds Much of the windrows has been damaged or killed by fires and the Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer This is the area that burned in the "Etiwanda Fire," which damaged many windrows in the area The remaining Blue Gum trees also support a large population of Australian Tortoise Beetles, which eat the edges of the leaves. Because of the Santa Ana wind conditions, many of the trees have grown m leaning patterns to the south. This leaning canopy structure would prevent safe preservation of some indnndual trees The tentatwe tract site contains over 300 trees Interspersed with the windrow pattern are a few Elderberry trees, Avocado trees, and California Fan palms Other trees observed on the site include Arizona Cypress, Chinaberry, Cottonwood, Red Gum, and Shamel Ash The Arbonst conducted atree-by-tree survey for this site, and the complete tree survey data is included in the Arbonst Report • ANALYSIS' A. General The proposed protect is composed of two separate parcels, the first is a 13 25-acre parcel located along the east side of Etiwanda Avenue approximately 700 feet south of Victoria Street, and the second is a 45 28-acre parcel located near the southeast corner of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues The two parcels are separated along Etiwanda Avenue by approximately 2,050 feet All of the residential development will occur on the 45.28-acre parcel, and the required "common" open space (per the Optional Development Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan) will be placed on the 13 25-acre parcel The open space will be dedicated for public use rather than be maintained as private common open space exclusive to the use of this protect The details pertaining to the "transfer" are identified in the accompanying Development Agreement. The concept of "transferring" the common open space off-site to anon-contiguous parcel as public open space will be allowed by a concurrent amendment to the Optional Development Standards within the Etiwanda Specific Plan Section 5 22.302(c) and Figure 5-3 (DRC ESP01-01 The result of transferring the common open space to a separate parcel is a subdivision with a density of 4 1 dwelling units per acre in the Very Low Residential (up to 2 dwelling units per acre) district, and a 13 25-acre park site in the Low Residential district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan In the case of the proposed protect, public benefit can be found for providing 13 25 acres of public park space, on a site that is adtacent to an existing intermediate school, the proposed Paafic Electric Inland Empire Trail, and the historic rail depot In addition, this park location • would provide additional space for sports activities in the east portion of the community The 13 25-acre parcel is also in the Community Service Overlay Distract (Figure 5-5) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan The Community Service Overlay District was established in order to create a focal point in the heart of the Etiwanda Community, reinforce the Commurnty Identity, and to encourage perpetuation of those elements and features which provide a tie to ~~-b3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16195 & DRC2001-00325 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES July 11, 2001 Page 4 • Etiwanda's Heritage The public park at this location could serve to create a focal point, along with the location adtacent to the Pacific Electric Trail, in Etiwanda The proposed tentative tract is adtacent to, and consistent with, the density of existing development within the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) The existing tract along Catalpa Street, ranges in lot size from approximately 103 feet by 70 feet (7,200 square feet) to 116 feet by 72 feet (8,300 square feet), and the tract along Pecan are approximately 118 feet by 66 feet (7,780 square feet) Lots within the proposed Tentative Tract are a minimum of 8,500 square feet and an average of 10,000 square feet in area. Isolated areas of Very Low Residential (up to 2 dwelling units per acre) density will remain at the corner of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues, and south of the site on both the east and west side of existing development in the Low Residential density category. B Pre-aoolication Review. The Planning Commission conducted aPre-Application Review meeting to discuss the basic concept of the proposed protect on March 7, 2001. The basic premise of this protect is to consider the two separate parcels within the context of the whole protect description in order to analyze land use consistency within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, along with the provisions of open space regwrements of the Optional Development Standards of the Specific Plan The Pre-Application Review minutes are attached for reference (Exhibit "F") C Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the protect on June 5, • 2001 (McNeil, Stewart, and Fong) The Committee reviewed the various aspects of the protect including the tentative tract design, the windrow removal, preservation and replacement, the designation and future use of the Kemp house, and the Conceptual Landscape Master Plan The Committee supported the design of the Tentative Tract Map and the Conceptual Landscape Master Plan, and concurred with the proposed mitigation measures for windrow removal, preservation and replacement W indrow preservation is proposed where the removal of existing trees would result in an impact to existing residents adtacent to the site The Committee discussed options for creating a "safe route of travel" between the proposed residential subdivision and the park site In conclusion, the Committee agreed that the applicant should be responsible to complete any missing sidewalk segments along Etiwanda Avenue between the two parcels In the discussion pertaining to the Kemp house, the Committee agreed that the community is better served by relocating the structure from its current location on Highland Avenue to the open space parcel on Etiwanda Avenue where there is a historic enclave Once relocated, the structure can either be rehabilitated for use associated with the park site, managed and maintained by Community Services, or sold to a private individual for rehabilitation as a residence D Technical Review Committee The Technical Review Committee reviewed the protect on June 6, 2001, at which time all standard conditions for Planning, Engineering, Fire, Police, and Bwlding and Safety Division comments were reviewed with the applicants The Engineering Division has included a condition that regwres the applicant to construct a . modified cul-de-sac at the present terminus of Catalpa Street in orderto eliminate the potential impact that through traffic would have on the adtacent neighborhood The modified cul-de-sac ~~~~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16195 & DRC2001-00325 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES July 11, 2001 • Page 5 design will include a rolled curb that can be used for secondary emergency access, since that existing neighborhood has only one means of access from East Avenue The protect proponents are regwred to create a landscape parkway on both sides of Highland Avenue (both north/south, and the alternate route easUwest) In addition, the applicant is regwred to fully improve Highland Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue (subtect to reimbursement from future development off-site) The developer is also required to install local drainage system improvements in accordance with the Etiwanda/San Sevame Master Plan of Drainage, including a temporary detention basin. The developer may receive reimbursement from excess costs over and above the standard drainage system fees E. Environmental Assessment An Initial Study has been prepared for the protect, including analysis of both the Tentative Tract Map and the Development Agreement Mitigation Measures have been included m the attached Resolution of approval pertaining to potential for differential sod settlement (geology), short-term air quality impacts, flood protection (water quality), impacts to existing Eucalyptus windrows (biology), potential hazards related to discarded debris on-site, noise impacts on future residents resulting from State Route 210, and potential impacts to cultural resources . CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the protect site plus the entire block bounded by Highland Avenue, Etiwanda Avenue, Victoria Street, and East Avenue RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing to take m public testimony, and with the consent of the applicant, continue the items to a specific date Respectfully sut ~~~~~~~ Brad Buller City Planner BB.DM\Is Attachments Exhibit "A" Exhibit "B" Exhibit "C" Exhibit "D" Exhibit "E" Exhibit "F" Exhibit "G" .

in the Low Residential District (up to 4 dwelling units per acre), utilizing the Optional Development Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan All residential development is proposed on the 45 28-acre parcel located on the south side of Highland Avenue east of Etiwanda Avenue, and all the required open space (per the Optional Development Standards) is proposed on the 13 25- acre parcel located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue south of VictonaAvenue -APN 227-051- 01, 04, 05, O6, 09 and 28, and APN 227-121-16 and 49 Related file Tree Removal Permit, Etiwanda Speafic Plan Amendment, and Development Agreement Background and Design Parameters The Planning Commission conducted aPre-Application Review meeting to discuss the basic concept of this proposed protect on March 7, 2001 The basic premise of this protect is to consider the two separate parcels within the context of the whole protect descnption in order to analyze land use consistency within the Etiwanda Speafic Plan, along with the provisions of open space regwrements of the Optional Development Standards of the Specific Plan The protect consists of a residential subdivision of 139 single-family lots on 45 28-acres within the Very Low Residential Distract, and 13 25 acres of open space in the Low Residential Distract, of the Etiwanda Specific Plan All residential development is proposed on the 45 28-acre parcel located on the south side of Highland Avenue east of Etiwanda Avenue, and all the required open space (per the Optional Development Standards) is proposed on the 13 25-acre parcel, located on the east side of EtiwandaAvenue south of Victoria Avenue In order to accomplish all aspects of the proposed protect the Etiwanda Specific Plan wtll be amended in order to specifically allow the transfer of open space and/or density to off-site parcels, when certain findings can be made, and it is in the best interest of the community to do so This amendment will be added to the Optional Development Standards, Figure 5-3, of the Speafic Plan In addition, the applicant is proposing a Development Agreement in order to identify all the technical details of the transfer of both density and open space Upon successful approval and completion of the protect will result in a 13-acre public park site adtacent to the Etiwanda Intermediate School, the future Pacific Electnc Trail, and the development of a 139 lot subdivision developed using the Low Density Optional Development Standards (although the underlying land use designation will remain Very Low Density Residential) The proposed Tentative Tract Map is compatible with the existing development immediately adtacent to the site All lots in both adtacent tracts are approximately 7,500 square feet in area, while lots within the proposed protect average approximately 10,000 square feet (8,500 square feet minimum) The north boundary of the site is Highland Avenue, and the new State Route 30/210 freeway Undeveloped properties adtacent to the west and south are in the Very Low Density Distract, and undeveloped property to the east (south of the existing tract) is in the Low Density Distract The Cross and Crown Lutheran Church is located on Etiwanda Avenue south of the site, and the Cucamonga County Water Distract water reservoir is located on Etiwanda Avenue north and west of the protect site The proposed park site is located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Victona Avenue It ~ is immediately south of the Etiwanda Intermediate School, and north of the histonc Etiwanda rail station and the future Paafic Electnc Tratl This site is in the Low Density Residential Distract additional undeveloped property in the Low District~/a}buts the site to the east ~' Jl, l DRC COMMENTS TTM 16193 (SUBTT16195) -COLORADO PACIFIC' COMMUNITIES June 5, 2001 j Page 2 Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion Major Issues The following broad design issues wdl be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project TENTATIVE TRACT DESIGN The pnmary issue in the design of the Tentative Tract Map is that the proposed design will remove the existing S-curve alignment of Highland Avenue that Caltrans has constructed in order to connect Highland Avenue to East Avenue Instead, the applicant proposes to maintain Highland Avenue along the north boundary of the tract, then direct southbound traffic along the east boundary of the tract, until it connects with the existing Highland Avenue connection to East Avenue The City Traffic Engineer has concurred with the re-alignment proposal, however, such a change presents design challenges • The result of this realignment is that the Highland Avenue'altemate'wjll be directed along the rear of the existing residents that face Ash Avenue thus creating an undesirable "double frontage" condition for existing homeowners Anew wall will be installed along the property line and the parkway way will be landscaped which would necessitate Landscape Maintenance Distnct for maintenance of over 1,000 feet City policy is to discourage • unnecessary LMD areas In general, the proposed Tentative Tract Map uttlizes numerous cul~le-sacs in the design, with overall arculation between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue using a curvilinear street pattern WINDROW REMOVAL, PRESERVATION AND REPLACEMENT The project site contains approximately 300 existing trees, primarily Eucalyptus windrow remnants, either on-site or along property boundanes (both on-and off-site) This is the area that burned in the "Etiwanda Fire," which damaged many windrows Many of the trees along the property boundary may affect the rear yards of adtacent residents The trees at the property boundary maybe considered for preservation, whereverfeasible or desirable, in order to minimize impacts to existing residents This condition is typical of portions of the north property boundary along the Cucamonga County Water Distnct parcel (approximately 30 trees in question), along a portion of the south boundary (approximately 42 trees in question), and along a portion of the east boundary (approximately 21 trees in question) The Etiwanda Speafic Plan, Figure 5-13, indicates that the existing Eucalyptus windrow along the south side of Highland Avenue will be preserved In accordance with the recommendations ofthe Arbonst Report,19 of the 49 trees along Highland Avenue should not be preserved due to health of the tree or previous fire damage In addition, the California Fan Palms, on the north side of Highland Avenue, are also indicated for preservation in the Specific Pian, and although not analyzed in the Arbonst Report, many of these Palm trees appear to be in poor condition from visual inspection ' ~`~~ DRC COMMENTS TTM 16193 (SUBTT16195)-COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES • June 5, 2001 Page 3 All other trees in the interior portion of the site are proposed to be removed The Optional Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan does regwre on-site windrow replacement of 100 linear feet per acre in the Very Low District and 50-feet per acre in the Low District Since the site is in the Very Low District he proposed protect should include 4,500 linear feet (100.feet X 45 acres) of on-site windrow replacement utilizing the 660-foot by 330-foot grid pattern that is typical of the Etiwanda area The on-site windrow replacement shall be reflected on the Conceptual landscape Plan No tree removal or replacement is proposed at the open space site at this time THE KEMP HOUSE The Kemp House is located at the northeast comer of the site facing Highland Avenue The house was once the residence of the Marcus Kemp family who were early citrus growers in the Etiwanda Community, as early as 1895 The property remained in the Kemp family until sold in recent years The house has been altered and speafically no longer contains the veranda and balcony that once wrapped the front portion of the house The property does not meet the criteria for the National Register of Historic Places, and is only marginally suitable for listing as a State Resource, however, the bwlding is eligible as a local landmark, and a Historic Landmark Designation was initiated by the Planning Diwsion approximately two-years ago when a demolition request was submitted • The applicant's have submitted a complete Cultural Resource assessment of the Site, with speafic detailed research of the history and sigrnficance of the structure Since the structure is potentially eligible as a local Historic Landmark, the applicant can either preserve the structure in its place on a lot within the Tentative Tract, or relocate the structure to an acceptable site The current thought is that the "acceptable site" may be the open space parcel that is associated with this protect, and eventually the structure would be restored and incorporated into use by Community Services If the structure is moved, the applicant would be required to place the structures on a new foundation, secure and fence the perimeter, at a mirnmum Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues A Landscape Master Plan Concept is proposed and will approved with the Tentative Tract Map The Conceptual Landscape Master Plan will set standards for streetscape design, both on the perimeter of the project, and on internal streets, slope planting, windrow replacement, perimeter walls, and side yard walls and streetscape design concepts for the interior of the project The intent is to establish a design concept that exemplifies the Etiwanda character, and create a unique pedestrian landscape character for the speafic protect 2 A Conceptual Grading Plan includes several sections taken at the property boundary, speafically where existing residents may be affected by the future development Staff has suggested that the applicant consider these wnditions individually to avoid great variations in grade to the extent possible Existing residents typically dislike new construction that will peer into their house or yard and deprive them of privacy The latest cross-sections illustrate that . the applicant has been able to reduce grade separations between on-site and off-site properties by approximately 2-3 feet ~~-~~~ DRC COMMENTS TTM 16193 (SUBTT16195) -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES June 5, 2001 Page 4 In addition, the existing residents have a mixture of fencng types and the applicants have indicated a desire to replace all penmeters fencing with a block wall The applicant will be regwred to coordinate with individual property owners to protect improvements and/or trees in-place. The design and layout of the Tentative Tract Map proposes a closure of Catalpa Street, from the east, assuming that existing residents will not look favorably on the potential for increased traffic into their neighborhoods Therefore, a modified cul-de-sac will be constructed at the western terminus of Catalpa Street in cooperation with existing residents at this location However, the Tentative Tract Map design is proposing a street connection to Pecan Avenue to the south Even though there maybe some resistance from existing residents, this connection will provide a second means of access into a small subdivision that currently only has one point of access, from Victona Avenue Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that upon review and discussion of all the issues identified by staff, and any questions raised by the Committee, that the committee make recommendations for conditions of approval, and forvvard the proiect to the Planning Commission for appropnate action Design Review Committee Action Members Present Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner Debra Meier Staff reviewed the report and the pnmary issues with the Committee The Committee had no further concerns regarding the Tentative Tract design, and concurred with the staff recommendation regarding windrow removal, preservation, and replacement The Committee discussed with the applicant the vanous options for use and location of the Kemp House The City Planner has suggested that the first choice in landmark preservation is to leave the structure in its present location The applicant, however, believes that this option is a mistake that would result in leaving the house in an undesirable location, and creating an awkward out parcel within the subdvision The Committee discussed other alternatives and options regarding the use and location of the house The preferred alternative was to create a separate lot within the 13-acre parcel, faang Etiwanda Avenue adiacent to the existing residence in this location In so doing, the City can either sell the lot to a separate party for renovation for residential use, or the structure can remain part of the park site and be incorporated into a future plan for use by the Community Services Department The Committee felt, economics aside, that the community might be better served by having the house moved to a more desirable location on Etiwanda Avenue, rather than the site on Highland Avenue adiacent to the freeway • ~~,~a~ DRC COMMENTS TTM 16193 (SUBTT16195) -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES • June 5, 2001 Page 5 The Committee also discussed the "safe route of travel" from the residential development to the future park site Two options were considered, the first is to insure that Etiwanda Avenue has public sidewalk the entire length between the two sites for pedestnan use, and secondly, to consider a paseo style parkway system (as developed within this Tract) continued within future development to the south connecting to Victona Avenue, then extending a trail behind the Middle School to the future park site The most feasible option for ensunng access in the near-term is to regwre the developer to complete any missing sidewalk improvements along Etiwanda Avenue between the two properties The only way to ensure that the paseo parkway is tamed forward to the south would be to amend the Etiwanda Specific Plan to incorporate the conceptual paseo alignment C J u ~-~- ~ a l City of RancAO Cucamonga Plannnp Omsan tgogt ~n-srso ~ ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM (Part I -Initial Study) • INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED Please note that rt Is the respons/bdrty o/ the applicant to ensure that the application Is complete at the time o/ submrftal, Cdy s1aH will not be evadable fo peAorm work required to provide m/ssing lnlormation Application Number for the pmlect to which this form pertains Pro/ecf Title Tentatwe Tract t!

The open space will be dedicated for public use rather than be maintained as private common open space exclusive to the use of this protect The concept of "transferring" the common open space off-site as public open space will be allowed by a concurrent amendment to the Optional Development Standards within the Etiwanda Specific Plan (Figure 5-3) The amendment will permit the transfer of the private common open space to an alternative non-contiguous site for public use when a specific public benefit can be found (as determined on a case-by- case basis) In the case of the proposed protect, public benefit can be found for providing 13 25 acres of public park space, which is adtacent to an existing Intermediate School and the proposed Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail and historic depot In addition, this park location would provide additional space for sports activities in this portion of the community The 13 25-acre parcel is also in the Community Service Overlay District (Figure 5-5) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan The Community Service Overlay District was established in order to create a focal point in the heart of the Etiwanda Community, reinforce the Community Identity, and to encourage perpetuation of those elements and features, which provide a tie to ~+a33 Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 4 Etiwanda's Heritage The public park at this location could serve to create a focal point, along with the location adfacent to the Paafic Electric Trial, in Etiwanda. The result of transferring the common open space to a separate parcel is a subdivision with a density of 4 0 dwelling urnts per acre in the Very Low Density (1-2 dwelling units per acre) distract of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The site is adiacent to existing development within the Low Density District and is, therefore, compatible with the area Isolated areas of Very Low density will remain at the corner of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues, and south of the site on both the east and west side of existing development in the Low Density category Potentially Sipmficant Issues and Supporting Informatlon Sources Potenaelly unl~eas rn`a'an Siprvhrsnt MmpeM1On SipMhcem No I ep Inco tEb I I act 2.

The site is located approximately three miles south of the Cucamonga fault, which is considered one of the most active faults along the southern San Gabriel Mountains, with an MCE of 7 0 The Glen HeleNLytle Creek fault occurs 5'Fz miles northeast of the site and has a MCE of 7 0, and the San Andreas Fault, located approximately 8 miles east of the site, has a MCE of 8 0 Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking The Red Hill Fault is located approximately 1'/z miles northwesterly of the site, with an MCE of 6.5 The site is not located within a City adopted Special Study Zone or within the state established Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone. Adhering to City budding standards and the Uniform Building Code will ensure potential impacts from ground shaking are minimized C~ c) Liquefaction occurs when loose saturated cohesion-less sods are subfect to ground shaking during an earthquake of large magnitude. Additionally, liquefaction may occur when the water table is less than 40 feet below ground surface Based on ground water depths within the area (approximately 300 feet below surface grade -Chino Basin Watermaster, 1997), the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation concluded that the potential for liquefaction within the protect area is unlikely Adhering to the City grading standards, the Uniform Budding Code, and recommendations presented in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation will ensure that geologic impacts are less than signficant ~~- ~ 35 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16195 Page 6 d) The site is not located near a body of water The nearest water courses are the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Creek Channel, located approximately 1 mile east of the site, and the Day Creek Channel, located approximately 1 mile west of the site Given the distance and confinement of these water bodies, development of the protect site will not expose people or structures to any potential seiche impacts The site is not within a 100-year flood plain as shown on Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan e-i) The Preliminary Geotechmcal Investigation performed by Leighton and Associates, dated February 2001, is summarized herein. The site is in the Chino Basin I, the northern portion of the Peninsular Range geomorphic province of California The basin is bounded by the Cucamonga Fault and the San Gabnel Mountains to the north, the Chino fault and the Puente-Chino Hills to the west, the San Jacinto fault to the east, and the Perns Block to the south This is an area of large-scale crustal disturbance as the relatively northwestward moving Peninsular Range Provence collides with the Transverse Range Province (San Gabnel Mountains) to the north Several active or potentially active faults have been mapped in the region and are believed to accommodate compression assoaated with this collision The site rests on the Day Canyon alluvial fan and is underlain by a thick accumulation (over 800 feet) of alluvium, including silt, sand, and gravel that has eroded from the San Gabriel Mountains. The site is generally underlain by a loose to medium dense silty sand layer that extends 2 to 10 feet below the ground surface. Therefore, the upper 3 to 5 feet of sod is considered to be moderately to highly compressible, and the following mitigation is recommend by the Geotechmcal Investigation 1) Partial removal and recompaction of the upper 3 to 5 feet of soil is necessary to reduce the potential for excessive total and differential settlement. Recommendations for the removal of compressible soils are contained within Section 4.3 of the Preliminary Geotechmcal Investigation prepared by Leighton and Associates, dated February 14, 2001.

The City has developed the Master Plan of Drainage for Etiwanda/San Sevaine area, which provides for tour types of drainage faalities that are needed to control surface run-off and to protect property within the study area The facilities include mainline, secondary regional, City master planned faalities, and local faalities. Until the regional drainage facilities are constructed, new development is required to construct interim facilities to mitigate the impact of the development As noted below, Master Plan Basin No 1 will attain a portion of the runoff for the proposed area to reduce the outflow from Basin No 5 and to minimize the hydrologic impact of the new development • 1) The developer shall install a local drainage system from their proposed temporary detention basin to Victoria Street, then a Master Plan facility in Victoria to East Avenue, then south in East Avenue connecting to existing facilities, north of Base Line Road to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Any off site drainage easements shall be acquired prior to recordation of the map. The developer shall receive credit for the cost of permanent master plan facilities up to the amount of the related drainage fees in effect at the time reimbursement is requested and shall be reimbursed for excess costs from future fee collection in accordance with City policy. If the developer fails to submit for said reimbursement agreement within six ~-~ ~ 3~ Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 8 u months of the public improvements being accepted by the City, all rights of the developer to reimbursement shall terminate. The proposed protect is located within the vicinity of the upper Etiwanda watershed area XIV, Interim Master Plan Basin No. 5. According to the Master Plan of Drainage, Basin No 5 is proposed to mitigate development of 491 acres of watershed north of Base Line Road until regional facilities are constructed A temporary Detention Basin will be located on-site in the area of Lots 109 through 112, per the mitigation measure outlined below. A final report will be required prior to issuance of grading permits or map recordation 2) Construct Etiwanda/San Sevaine Interim Master Basin as follows, justified by a final drainage report approved by the City Engineer: a. Provide an ultimate design for the basin to serve this development and tributary areas from the north. b. Provide for maintenance vehicle access in the basin design. c. Install sufficient capacity to mitigate the increased runoff from this development, with an outlet system capable of handling the ultimate basin design (entire tributary area) with a minimum amount of modification as incremental development occurs. d. Provide an easement to the City for all of the basin area. e. An assessment district shall be formed for maintenance of the detention basin or a maintenance agreement with a refundable deposit shall be executed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Attorney guaranteeing private maintenance of the facility, but providing the City with the right of access to maintain the facility if private maintenance is insufficient and allowing the City to assess those costs to the developer. Said agreement shall be recorded to run with the property. f. The developer may request a reimbursement agreement to recover the proportionate cost of the land and ultimate basin related facilities (outlet, etc.) from future development using the basin. If the developer fails to submit said reimbursement agreement within six months of the public improvements being accepted by the City, all rights of the developer to reimbursement shall terminate. f-i) The protect will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area, as the site is not used for groundwater recharge Potenaally Significant Issues and Supporting Information Sources Potentially un~i~ in~an 9grnhcant Miogaaon Significant No I ap Inco tetl I C I 5.

Default values were used where protect specific information was unavailable Though not regwred, construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1). The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the ITE Tnp Generation Manual, 6th Edition, values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model In order to reflect the purely residential nature of the proposed protect, the default fleet mix was modified to decrease the number of medwm to heavy-duty diesel trucks and increase the number of light passenger vehicles Wood stoves and wood burning fireplaces were deleted as inappropriate home heating sources in this region The protect operational emissions do not exceed SCAOMD thresholds of significance (Table 2). However, since the South Coast Air Basin is ninon-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o) mitigation measures will be used to minimize the protect contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants Table 1 URBEMIS7G Construction Emissions Summary (Pounds oer Dav1 r L Source ROG NO, CO PM~o Unmet Met Unmet Met Unmet Met Unmet Met Gradin 2 13 2 13 19 79 18 80 - - 23 02 8 77 Worker Tri s 0 82 0 80 1 16 1 13 2 20 2 14 0 22 0 22 Stations E ui 0 17 0 17 0 14 0 14 - - 0 01 0 01 Mobile E w 0 72 0 68 5 08 4 83 - - 0 56 0 53 Arch Coatin s 53 82 51 13 - - - _ _ - As halt 1 31 1 24 - - - _ - _ Totals 58 97 56 05 26 17 24 89 2 20 2 14 23 81 9 53 SCAQMDThres 75 75 100 100 550 550 150 150 Si nilicance No No No No No No No No ~~~~~I Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 Table 2 URBEMIS7G Operations Emissions Summary Pounds er Da Source ROG NOx CO PM~o Unmet Met Unmet Met Unmet Met Unmet Met Stat Source 6 93 6 91 1 74 1 41 0 74 0 60 - - Mobile Source 24 17 23 59 16 43 15 98 210 07 204 25 10 00 9 72 Totals 31 1 30 5 18 17 17 39 210 81 204 67 10 00 9 72 SCAQMDThres 55 55 55 55 550 550 150 150 Si nificance No No No No No No No No Generally, construction of a protect this size will not exceed SCAOMD thresholds during grading activities for PM,o and NOx, nor SCAOMD thresholds for developed condition (operational impacts) for NO^. Tables 1 and 2 show protect impacts before and after mitigation measures have been implemented Development of 139 homes represents only a fraction of the total emissions of NOx in the county. Based on Table 6-2 "Screening Table for Operation - Daily Thresholds of Potential Significance for Air Quality" within the CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the proposed protect does not have the potential to exceed the daily emissions significance thresholds Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. Sensitive receptors in the area include residences to the immediate east, west, and southwest and Summit Elementary School located 1/8-mile east of the site During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated Any impacts to these sensitive receptors from generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following measures• 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAOMD Rule 403. 2) Summit Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon 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 SCAOMD and RWOCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions. b) Durng construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces may cause NO. and PM,o levels to exceed daily significant thresholds The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts to sensitive receptors will be at less than sigrnficant level • ~a~~~~ r, LJ Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 11 1) The construction contractor shall select the construction egwpment used on-site based on low-emission factors and high-energy efficiency.

None of these shrub stands form any significant stands of habitat Wildlife activity is low, due primarily to the lack of vegetation cover and low-diversity of habitat types Most of the wildlife seen are bird speaes that are highly tolerant of human activity and disturbed area These include California towhee, mourning dove, American crow, and house finch Mammal speaes observed on the site include the Botta's pocket gopher, California ground squirrel, coyote, and Audubon's cottontail A complete list of wildlife species observed can be found within Appendix B of the Biological Site Assessment The Eucalyptus windrows on the site provide potential nesting and roosting habitats • for numerous hawks and falcons The mixed ruderal-annual grassland habitat provides limited, poor quality foraging habitat for the raptor species The raptor species are experiencing population declines as a result of habitat loss. As a group raptors are a species of concern to the state and federal agenaes No sensitive species or habitat exist on the site, therefore, no mitigation is regwred b-c) The majority of the trees that exist on-site must be removed to allow for the proposed construction The trees are subject to replacement pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (RCMC 19 08) and the windrow replacement policy of the Etiwanda Specific Plan An Arborist Report prepared by James Barry, MS, Certified Arborist, has been completed and 307 existing trees have been individually surveyed in accordance with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance Of the 307 trees, 143 trees are rated as Suitable or Highly Suitable for preservation. Most of the trees on the site are remains of a windrow system planted with Blue Gums to protect the agricultural crops from the high winds Much of the windrow has been damaged or killed by fires and the Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer. The remaining Blue Gum trees also support a large population of Australian Tortoise Beetles, which eat the edges of the leaves In addition, due the Santa Ana wind conditions, many of the trees have grown in leaning patterns to the south This leaning canopy structure would prevent safe preservation Interspersed with the Blue Gums are 36 Elderberry and two Avocado trees, and • along Highland Avenue are five California Fan palms Other trees observed at the site include three Arizona Cypresses, three Chinaberries, one Cottonwood, five Red Gums, and one Shamel Ash ~~-~~(3 Irntial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 14 Transplanting is not a preservation option for the Blue Gums The Califorrna Fan Palms can often be successfully moved, however, the burned trunk tissue and leaning growth habit prevent them from being good candidates. Other small trees could be moved, but their small size means that replacement with better tree species would be more appropriate A tree-by-tree survey was conducted by the Arbonst and the complete tree survey data is included in the Arbonst Report. 1) All trees that are off-site along the south project boundary shall be preserved in place as shown on the Arbonst Report dated February 15, 2001: Tree Numbers 48-88. 2) The following trees along the north project boundary shall be preserved in-place as shown on the Arbonst Report dated February 15, 2001: Tree Numbers 1-3 and 5-13. 3) The following trees along the east project boundary shall be preserved in- place as shown on the Arbonst Report dated February 15, 2001: Tree Numbers 192, 194-199, and 202-211. The trees shall be incorporated into the parkway along the Highland Avenue alternate. • 4) The following trees that are along the south side of Highland Avenue shall be preserved in-place in accordance with the Figure 5-13 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, as shown on the Arbonst Report dated February 15, 2001: Tree Numbers 89, 91-103, 105-107, 111, 115, 120, 122-124, 127, 130, and 136-138. The California Fan Palms on the north side of Highland Avenue shall also be preserved in place. The trees shall be incorporated into the parkway along Highland Avenue. 5) The on-site windrow replacement shall follow the configuration as shown on the Windrow Replacement Figure in the Planning Commission Staff Report dated July 11, 2001. The on-site windrow shall be planted with 5-gallon Eucalyptus Maculate (Spotted Gum) spaced at 8 feet on center. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site e) Habitat fragmentation and wildlife movement are closely related issues with wildlife movement as an important factor to be considered in discussions of habitat fragmentation Habitat fragmentation is isolation of one area of habitat from a larger area that provides a more complete and functional system The degree of isolation is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the isolating barrier and the species being considered Wildlife corridors or linkages, for the most part, counteract the effects of fragmentation Corridors serve to connect areas of large habitat that may otherwise be separated Corridors also serve to interconnect water, food, and cover availability, spatially linking these three resources with wildlife in different areas In • addition, wildlife movement between habitat areas provides for genetic exchange between wildlife species populations, maintaining genetic variability and adaptability to respond to changing environmental conditions ~°(~ 1~ C~ Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 15 Wildlife movement also benefits plant species by allowing for the dispersal of pollinators along the linkage, thereby increasing the potential for genetic exchange among different populations of plant species Corridors also directly help plants in that wind dispersed seeds and seeds that are dispersed by animals may either move through the corridor or become established gradually throughout the corridor, colonizing different areas over time However, the lack of topographic variety and the absence of water sources at this site indicate that no wildlife corridors are present at the site In addition, State Route 210 is under construction along the northern boundary of the site, and, in fact, this segment is scheduled to be open in July 2001. The surrounding residential development areas now present an impassable barrier to all but the most tolerant land-based animals such as house finch, house sparrow, coyote, and striped skunk More wide ranging bird species such as hawks and swallows are not as significantly affected, but the overall loss of habitat in the region and increased human activity has resulted in the loss of wildlife movement through the site No wildlife corridors exist at the site, no mitigation is required. • aaennmly Sipnihcent Issues and Supporting Information Sources Fotenbel~r u°~ss r~ Sipnifcant MNpebon S~pnihcant No I Inco tatl I I h 8.

No ground staining was observed in the immediate vicinity of the remnant structures A moderate amount of discarded debris occurs on the site, including such items as construction material, household waste, yard waste, and stockpiled soil Again, there were no surficial soil stains or petroleum odors in the vianity of the debris The results of the Environmental Site Assessment found no evidence of past activity on the site associated with significant hazardous waste or materials There is no evidence of commercial dumping or waste disposal on the site, staining or discolored/distressed vegetation, or underground orabove-ground storage tanks. As a result of the historic agricultural activity at the site, soils were tested for the presence of significant amount of residual pesticides The laboratory results indicated that all seven samples had low concentrations of residual pesticide (DDE, DDT, and Dieldrin), which were all well below the TTLC regulatory limits identified in CCR Title 22 In addition, these chemicals are typically limited to the top 12 to 18 inches of the soil profile, therefore, future grading activity would further reduce the concentrations of residual pesticide. • C~ t. J ~"~ Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16195 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 The following measures are recommended In the Environmental Site Assessment 1) The automotive tires and paint containers found on the site shall be collected and disposed of at a proper off-site facility. All remaining debris shall be inspected upon removal to ensure that potentially hazardous materials (including oils, solvents, and batteries) are not located among the inert debris. 2) If discolored soils, soils with unusual color, or unidentified subsurface structures are encountered during the grading or removal of the debris, a qualified firm shall be contacted and work discontinued in that particular area until the evaluation of the soils/subsurface structures is made. b) Improvements of Highland Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue will lighting, curbs, and sidewalks to ensure standard emergency efficient evacuation of residents en the event of an emergency. within the proposed development will have a paved roadway provide adequate emergency vehicle clearance include appropriate response times and Additionally, streets width of 36 feet to e) The Etiwanda area and the entire area north of the City limits are more susceptible to fires than any other area within the City due to the presence of the fire-prone Eucalyptus windrows, and, in fact, the area was burned approximately 10 years ago, with many trees damaged Development of the proposed protect would remove fire- susceptible trees from the site and improve Etewanda and Highland Avenues to provide adequate fire suppression equipment access to the area.

The State Route 210 freeway under construction is located directly north of Highland Avenue, however, is approximately 20 feet below grade For exterior living areas which are exposed to noise levels greater than 65 CNEL, some form of noise mitigation is required The results of the Noise Analysis indicate that in order to meet the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard, noise barriers will be regwred for the exterior living areas adfacent to State Route 210 and Highland Avenue. 1) Noise barriers of 8 feet in height will be required for the exterior living areas along the south boundary of Highland Avenue, and a noise barrier of 6.5 feet is required along the west side of the Highland Avenue alternate route as it turns south along the rear of the first four lots. The required noise barriers locations and heights should be relative to the pad elevations of the lots in question. The noise barriers may consist of a wall, a berm, or a combination of the two. The noise barriers must have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot and shall have no openings or gaps. The wall may be constructed of stud and stucco, 3/t3- inch plate glass, 5/8 Plexiglas, any masonry material, or a combination of these materials. 2) A final Noise Study will be required to address the interior noise levels when the architectural drawings are submitted for DevelopmenUDesign Review.

Associated with the Etiwanda Colony, the windbreak feature consists of several square miles of eucalyptus windbreaks sectioning off 10-acre parcels for citrus groves, orchards, and vineyards The overall area of the landscape is approximately 1,700 acres. The Etiwanda Windbreaks meet National Register Cntena A, for its association to and agricultural success of the Etiwanda Colony, Cntena B, for its assoaation with the Chaffey brothers, and Cntena C, as representing a significant pattern of historic tradition of land use and human activity The mitigation measures that are included in Section 7 Biological Resources, pertaining to removal, preservation, and replacement of on-site windrows, acts to preserve the overall character of the Etiwanda Windbreak landscape • The Kemp house is a large two-story house, square in design, reflecting the Colonial Revival "Foursquare" style The architectural style of the structure suggests that the house may have been constructed after the turn of the twentieth century. Marcus Kemp and his family were early citrus growers in the Etiwanda community, and • Marcus Kemp was listed as a shareholder in the Etiwanda Frwt Company Assessor's records establish the family's assocation with this property as far back as 1895.

Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM Brad Buller, City Planner BY Debra Meier, AICP, Contract Planner SUBJECT ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 01-01 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES - A request to amend the Etiwanda Specific Plan to allow the transfer of density and/or open space to non-contiguous parcels when using the Optional Development Standards (Figure 5-3) Related Files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16195, Development Agreement DRC2001-00325, Tree Removal Permit DRC2001-00323, Landmark Designation DRC2001-00337, and Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2001-00338. ABSTRACT As the staff report was being prepared, the City received additional input from neighboring residents The applicant is aware of the input and is willing to work with staff in addressing the concerns raised Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission take public testimony at this hearing and continue the item with the consent of the applicant. ANALYSIS A General The proposed amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan has been requested as a result of the application for Tentative Tract 16195. The request to initiate this amendment was presented to the Commission on June 27, 2001 The underlying purpose of the proposed amendment is to allow the concept of "transferring" the common open space and/or densityto non-contiguous parcel(s) within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area when using the Optional Development Standards of Section 5 22.302(c) and Figure 5-3. This amendment will also allow the private common open space to be determined used as a public park (or other public open space) when a specific public benefit can be found (as determined on a case-by-case basis) In the specific case related to Tentative Tract 16195, the result of transferring the common open space to a separate parcel is a subdivision with a density of 4.1 dwelling units per acre in the Very Low Residential (up to 2 dwelling units per acre) district and a 13 25 acre public park • on a site in the Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan ITEM C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ESPA01-01 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES July 11, 2001 Page 2 B. Pre-aoolication Review The Planning Commission conducted aPre-Application Review meeting on March 7, 2001, to discuss the basic concept of this proposed prolect and an amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Pian The basic premise of this prolect is to considerthe two separate parcels within the context of the whole prolect description, and analyze land use consistency within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, along with the provisions of open space regwrements of the Optional Development Standards of the Speafic Plan. The Pre-Application Review minutes are attached for reference. C Environmental Assessment. The proposed amendment has been prepared and reviewed m compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, and, based on that review it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment will have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed amendment is exempt pursuant to State CEQA Gwdelines, Section 15061(b)(3) of Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. CORRESPONDENCE• This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the prolect site plus the entire block bounded by Highland Avenue, Etiwanda Avenue, Victoria Street, and East Avenue.

(f) Provide for the maintenance of any such common open spaces, windrows, greenways, trails, landscaping, and roads 302 Application of the Density Range Concept Each residential Land Use Designation defines a permitted density range The specific density allowed within each range will be determined by public hearings and specific site conditions However, the following provisions shall apply (a) Protects which meet Basic Development Standards may be permitted to develop at the densities controlled by Figure 5-2, which are generally in the lower end of each density range (b) Protects may also be filed under the Optional Development Standards, Figure 5-3 which generally allow densities Up t0, but not to exceed the maximum permitted in each density range The Optional Development standards are generally more demanding than the Basic Standards, to offset the impact of additional dwellings on the area (c) Density and open space may be transferred between parcels within the boundary of the Etiwanda Specific Plan when utilizing the Optional Development Standards for the purpose of creating permanent public open space provided that 1) the donor parcel is suitable as permanent public open space, is compatible with the surrounding area, and serves the best interest of the community or neighborhood; 2) the parcel(s) receiving density are evaluated for compatibility with the surrounding . area and the ability to receive additional intensity of use; and 3) the parcel receiving density shall follow the density standards based on the proposed density (Example: if the density is increased from Low ^ ~~ Residential to Low-Medium Residential, the standards of the Low- Medwm Residential district shall apply). A Master Plan shall be submitted to determine the reasonable density for the donor parcel. In hillside areas, the master plan shall include calculation of density in accordance with Section 17.24.080. The resulting density of the project shall not exceed the density that would be allowed by considering the parcels as the whole protect. The transfer of density shall only be considered in conjunction with a subdivision application on the receiver parcel.

The Master Plan included a 68,355 square foot supermarket, two satellite pads totaling 5,000 square feet each, and two drive-thru pads totaling 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. The Master Plan addressed conceptual bwldmg locations, overall circulation, access points, parking layout, landscaping, and provided conceptual elevations to establish an architectural style, and the form, bulk, and height of certain architectural elements. The master Conditional Use Permit was approved in 1997, and the supermarket-shopping center is currently under construction The development of a Jack In the Box restaurant was approved on one of the dnve-thru pads, but construction has not yet begun (Development Rewew 99-12). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this protect• 1 The elevations appear very rigid and should be revised to provide greater variation in bwldmg design. This can be accomplished by providing variation m the building plane, roofline, and building mass. For example, consider the elevations for Jack In The Box, which has similar proportions yet creates a building with substantially greater visual interest (see attached exhibits). 2 Expand the use of architectural elements for greater consistency with the shopping center design This could include additional use of native stone, wood trellises, tower elements, and decorative columns Secondary Issues Once all of the mator issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1 Speaal decorative paving should be used for the entire pedestrian sidewalk system, consistent with the approved Master Plan Including both the enhanced paving adtacent to the 2 The landscaped area to the east and west of the building should be revised to include undulated berming 3 Increase the size of the canopy columns to a mwmum width dimension of 24 inches 4 Increase the size of the cornice element on the canopy for consistency with the primary building. ~HrBiT ~F- / " D\D DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-45 - ALBERTSON'S EXPRESS • February 6, 2001 Page 2 Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion• 1 The trash enclosure shall be designed for compatibility with the City Standard Drawing. 2 All signs shall be designed to comply with the centers Uniform Sign Program.

The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1 There are no major design issues The applicant revised the project architecture to provide greater variation in the building design. This was accomplished by providing variation in the building plane, roofline, massing, and the addition of architectural elements that create greater visual interest in the building. Secondary Issues Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1 On the front elevation (at the extreme northwest comer of the building), provide a column to add casual support to the boxed out element above the trellis 2. All stone shall be native nver rock, the use of faux stone is not permitted. 3 Revise the canopy columns to either continue the river rock element up to the roof, or provide stucco to match the budding from the top of the nver rock element to the roof. If the stucco element is used, the column should be increased to a minimum width of 2 feet. 4. Speaal decorative paving should be used for the entire pedestrian sidewalk system, consistent with the approved Master Plan • X12 DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-45 - ALBERTSON'S • May 15, 2001 Page 2 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion. 1.

Based on the Findings of Leighton's fault investigation (Leighton, 1991) the Red Hill fault does not pose an on-site ground rupture hazard A revised Supplemental Geotechmcal Investigation Report was prepared (Leighton and Assoaates, Inc., Geotechmcal and Environmental Engmeenng Consultants, May 13, 1997). The report was prepared to explore the subsurface conditions at the proposed budding locations, to evaluate the general sod characteristics at the site, and to provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations for the protect. The site is located within an area of histoncally high seismic activity, thus significant ground shaking should be anticipated. In order to mitigate the effects of ground shaking produced by regional seismic events, seismic designs should be performed in accordance with the most recent edition of the Uniform Building Code and/or seismic design parameters of the Structural Engineers Association of California and additional seismic analysis may be necessary based on structural requirements. The design of the protect site and construction of the proposed grading and structures shall follow the recommendations of the sods engineer and/or engineering geologist geotechnical investigation and shall comply with the current budding standards and codes at the time of construction, mcludmg those assoaated with protection from anticipated seismic events.

General Plan Designations: Protect Site -Low and Low-Medium Residential (2-4 and 4-8 dwelling units per acre) North - Victoria Street (improved) Etiwanda High School South - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - I-15 Freeway West - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) D Site Charactenstics• The protect site is on the east side of East Avenue, and on the south side of Victoria Street. The site is undeveloped land with Eucalyptus trees, non-native grasses, and other ruderal plant speaes The site slopes approximately 2 percent from north to south and slopes from the center of the site both easterly and westerly from 2 percent up to 7 percent. ANALYSIS A General. The site will be developed under the Low and Low-Medium Residential Basic Development Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The proposed average lot size in the Low Residential District portion of the site is 16,929 square feet and an average of 12,751 square feet in the Low-Medwm Residential District The applicant is proposing to construct 75 single-family homes that will range in size from 2,600 square feet to 3,529 square feet. Four home plans are proposed, each with three to four separate elevations (reverse plotting and side-on garage alternatn!es provide even greater variation) The home designs are the same as those approved for Tract 15798 and 15911 (currently under construction south of this site) and exhibit a high level of design and integrity The gated entryway, which was added as a modification to Tract 15911, is also proposed in this tract (see Exhibit G") The two subdivisions (Tentative Tract 15911 and Tentative Tract 16189) wdl connect to one another and create uniformity on the frontage of East Avenue, each with a separate gated entryway B Variance. As an environmental mitigation for freeway traffic noise, high sound walls are regwred Traffic data for the noise analysis was prepared using noise measurements and traffic counts taken on June 1, 2000 Based on the analysis, predicated traffic noise will exceed noise limits for exterior and some interior units if appropriate mitigation is not implemented The proposed acoustical sound wall would bring exterior noise levels at or below the City's criteria The sound wall will be as high as 17 feet along the southeast tract boundary (Lots 19-28), as well as a sound wall up to 16 and 12 feet on Lots 29 and 30, respectn!ely. Sound-rated window glazing will reduce interior noise levels for the second-story windows, with a partial view of the freeway The remaining lots will receive sufficient shielding from intervening houses or will not require additional noise control measures beyond the standard housing construction details to comply with the regwrements The increased wall height wdl not be detrimental to public health and safety or materially intunous to surrounding property The intent is to provide necessary noise E , E, G a PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTTi6189, DRC2001-00109, DRC2001-00211 -CONCORDIA July 11, 2001 Page 3 mitigation for future residents, and to provide a safe enfoyable Irving space. The highest sound walls will be along the southeast sides of Tentative Tract 16189, which wtll extend as high as 17 feet high The maximum allowed wall height in Rancho Cucamonga is 6 feet, hence, a Variance is required Staff believes findings can be made for approval of a Variance given the unique location of the sites so near to the I-15 Freeway (which is substantially higher than the protect site), that strict enforcement of the 6-foot height limit would preclude development of the site in accordance with the land use designation since the high walls are necessary to comply with the General PIaNDevelopment Code residential noise level criteria, and the excessive wall height will not have a demonstrable negative visual impact. The height of the walls will be softened by a combined split face/fluted block design with vine planting along the base trained to climb the walls. A variance request was previously approved for similar wall heights, which are under construction in the adtoining tract to the south C Design Review Committee• The Committee (McNeil, Stewart, Fong) reviewed the protect on June 5, 2001, and recommended approval with conditions, (see Exhibit "H") D Technical Review Committee The Grading and Technical Review Committees have reviewed the protect and recommended approval subtect to conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval E Tree Removal Permit• There are a total of 136 trees on site that must be removed to allow construction of the homes. Old Eucalyptus windrows with occasional Mexican Elderberries appear throughout the site A total of eight Eucalyptus trees can be retained The trees that must be removed for development are regwred to be replaced pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance No 276 In addition, windrows removed to accommodate the protect shall be replaced with new windrows of egwvalent linear footage F. Environmental Assessment: The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study and staff completed Part II (the Environmental Checklist). Staff determined that the protect could have a significant adverse environmental impact through short-term air quality impacts during the site preparation, such as grading, equipment, and exhaust Staff also determined that there might be noise impacts to future residences within the subtect tract resulting from the traffic along the I-15 freeway, as well as, biological impacts resulting from Eucalyptus removal. A total of 136 trees will be removed to accommodate protect improvements A noise study prepared by Gordon Bracken and Associates indicated that the traffic noise form the I-15 would be the dominant noise impact for the area The report reviewed the proposed protect to determine compliance with City of Rancho Cucamonga noise control regwrements for the proposed acoustical sound wall designed in accordance with Caltrans traffic noise abatement criteria CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the protect site.

() () () (x) i) Unique geologic or physical features () () () (x) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site It is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault The Red Hill fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 3 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 4.8 miles north These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6 5-7.0 earthquakes, respectively Also the San Jacinto fault capable of producing up to Mw 7 5 earthquakes is 9 0 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 11.5 miles northeast of the site Each of these faults can produce a strong ground shaking Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table Adhering to the City grading standards and the Uniform Building Code will ensure that the geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The site is not located near a body of water However, Cucamonga County Water Distract (CCWD) is proposing future construction of a reservoir directly north of the site At this time it is uncertain whether or not CCWD will construct this reservoir, as there is discussion of a possible future Base Line Freeway off-ramp If the off-ramp is proposed the placement of the reservoir will be reevaluated However if either protect is proposed for construction appropriate environmental reviews and documents will be provided to surrounding residences. Neither the reservoir nor the off-ramp is reasonably foreseeable It is too early to determine potential environmental impacts for either protect, as plans have not been submitted e) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal Grading will even out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage E, F', U yS Initial Study for SUBTTi 6189 - CONCORDIA City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 5 PotbMially Slplvbwnt Irryacl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources rbtemlellr u^lexs rn,N SiO~ficant MNpeban SlBnificent No 1 act Irlco tail 1 acl I C f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the protect because the site is currently vacant.

The applicant has prepared a preliminary drainage study showing how storm water runoff will be conveyed A final report will be regwred prior to issuance of a grading permit. f-i) The protect will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal• a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to () (x) () ( ) an existing or protected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants () (x) () ( ) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, () () () (x) or cause any change in climate d) Create obtectionable odors? () () () (x) Comments: a-b) Typically, construction of a protect this size will exceed SCAOMD thresholds during grading activities for PM10 and NOx, and may also exceed SCAOMD thresholds for developed conddion (operational impacts) for NO,. Development of 145 homes represents only a fraction of the total emissions of NO. in the county Based on Table 6-2 "Screening Table for Operation -Daily Thresholds of Potential Significance for Air Quality" within the CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the proposed protect does not have the potential to exceed the daily emissions significance thresholds Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated. Any impact to air quality from generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following measures 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RW~CB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2) East Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction.

' 4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions. b) Sensitive receptors include single-family residences along Victoria Avenue to the north and the south (Tentative Tract 15911 currently under construction). Residences may begin to move into the new development, ultimately adding to the sensitive receptors within the area During construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equpment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and egwpment traveling over exposed surfaces may cause NOx and PM,o levels to exceed daily significant thresholds. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at less than sigmficant levels. 1) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction Grading Plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 2) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 3) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-Grading Plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 • LJ c-d) The proposed project is the subdivision of 26 73 acres of a 26.93-acre vacant site into 75 single-family urnts, averaging approximately 12,751 square feet and 16,929 square feet, in accordance with the City code. The end use of the proposed prolect, low and low medwm residential, will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors 6. TRANSPORTATIOWCIRCULATION.

A total of 8 trees are located out of the way and can be retained As stated in the report, most of the trees proposed for removal are m good overall health and appearance and would regwre removal of deadwood and structural pruning to bang them to top quality The trees are considered "heritage trees" and are subiect to replacement pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (RCMC 19.08). The developer has acquired the necessary Tree Removal Permit and has paid all associated fees. The contractor shall follow the "Tree Protection Notes" in Appendix B of the Arborist Report to mitigate potential impacts to existing trees to be saved. Windrows removed to accommodate the project shall be replaced with new windrows of equivalent linear footage. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) Immediately south of the site is currently being developed with similar single-family residences.

Based on the analysis, predicted future traffic noise will exceed City, FHWA and Caltrans noise limits for exterior and for some interior units west of the 65 CNEL contour if appropriate mitigation is not implemented. During peak traffic noise hours the proposed acoustical sound wall would bring exterior noise levels at or below the City's exterior noise criteria of 65 dBA CNEL. The sound wall will be as high as 17 feet along the southwest tract boundary (Lots 19-28), as well as sound wall up to 16 and 12 feet on Lots 29 and 30, respectively. Sound-rated window glazing will reduce interior noise levels for second-story windows, with a partial view of the freeway and west of the 65 CNEL contour. The remainder of the lots will receive sufficient shielding from intervening houses or will not require additional noise control measures beyond the standard housing construction details, in order to comply with the interior City CNEL limit of 45 dBA 11.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the protect have () () () (x) 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 animal, or eliminate important examples of the mator periods of California history or prehistory? b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential () () (x) ( ) to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals (A short-term impact on the environment is one, which occurs, in a relatively brief, definitive period of time Long-term impacts will endure well into the future ) E,~, ~ SS Initial Study for SUBTT16189 - CONCORDIA City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 15 PMenbally 9gnifitant Irryecl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources Data""al'y Signlfirant unless MNgabon man Siprvficant No 1 act Inca ed I n 1 ect c) Cumulative: Does the protect have impacts () () (x) ( ) that are indroidually lirpited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a protect are considerable when viewed m connection with the effects of past protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects.) d) Substantial adverse: Does the protect have () (x) () ( ) environmental effects, which wdl cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, ether directly or mdirectly~ Comments: a) The Initial Study did not identify any significant adverse impacts to biological resources Due to surrounding development, I-15 Freeway, Base Line Road, East Avenue, and residential development, the protect site does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species. According to an arborist report, 113 trees will regwre removal to allow for the proposed construction of new homes. A total of 8 trees wdl be preserved as they are out of the way of most construction. Precautionary measures listed m Appendix B of the report will mitigate potential impacts to existing trees to be saved The City has received the necessary permit and assoaated fees for removing the trees No further mitigation beyond that proposed m the Arbonst report is recommended. b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of the protect site. The short-term impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities. However, the impacts wdl cease once construction activities are completed Implementation of mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study wtll reduce short-term impacts to less than significant. c) Cumulative effects of residential development m the Etiwanda Specific Plan Area were identified in a previous environmental document Appropriate analysis and mitigation measures were developed prior to the implementation of the Etiwanda Speafic Plan No additional mitigation measures beyond those presented m the Etiwanda Speafic Plan and this Initial Study are regwred. d) Development of 75 single-family residences would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. However, proposed mitigation measures wdl reduce impacts to less than significant. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality are short-term and wdl cease once construction activities are completed.

During peak traffic noise hours the proposed acoustical sound wall would bring exterior noise levels at or below the City's exterior noise criteria of 65 dBA CNEL Sound-rated window glazing will reduce interior noise levels for second-story windows with a partial view of the freeway and west of the 65 CNEL contour. The remainder of the lots will receive sufficient shielding from intervening houses or will not require additional noise control measures beyond the standard housing construction details, in order to comply with the interior City CNEL limit of 45 dBA No further mitigation beyond that recommended in the report is proposed. Though directly exposed to the freeway noise, Lots 18, 40, 41, 42 and 47 do not need sound walls as the building structures on these lots will adequately shield at least the patio areas of the private rear yards 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 project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis The following earlier analyses were utilized in completing this Initial Study and are available for review in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division offices, 10500 Civic Center Drive (check all that apply) (x) General Plan EIR (Certfied Apnl 6, 1981) (x) Master Environmental Assessment for the 1989 General Plan Update (SCH #88020115, certified January 4, 1989) (x) Etiwanda Specific Plan EIR (SCH #82061801, certified July 6, 1983) 1 ` ~ ~ S ~l Initial Study for SUBTT16189 - CONCORDIA City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 APPLICANT CERTIFICATION I certify that I am the applicant for the project described m this Initial Study.

Brad Buller, City Planner BY Emily Wimer, Assistant Planner SUBJECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2001-00263 -DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC - A request to amend a portion of the Victoria Community Plan from Medium and Medium-High Residential (8-14 and 14-24 dwelling units per acre, respectively) to Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) for 20 15 acres, located at the northeast corner of Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue - APN 227-691-01 BACKGROUND The original application was submitted November 14, 1990, with a total of 328 condominium units in the Medium High Residential Distract of Victoria Planned Community Since then, applications for this property have included multi-family development, single-family detached condominium development, and single-family "cluster" type development, as well as smaller lot single-family subdivisions On November 9, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 15477, a 153-unit condominium protect in the Medium and Medwm-High Residential District The Commission extended the protect six times to allow a final extension date of November 9, 2001 The developer has now decided to pursue single-family development in lieu of the condominium protect PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION A Surrounding Land Use and Zoning North - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Neighborhood Commercial East - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Future park B General Plan Desicnations Protect Site -Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) North - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Neighborhood Commercial East - Low-Medwm Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Future park ITEM H PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2001-00263-DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC July 11, 2001 Page 2 ANALYSIS The proposed rezone of 20 15 acres is for the purpose of developing single-family residences at a lower density than previously allowed by the Victoria Community Plan. The site is currently vacant, however, there is an application for single-family unit development. The proposed zone change will also make the zoning more cohesive, zoning from two higher densities to one lower density Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) surrounds the parcel on the north and east sides The west side of Milliken Avenue is zoned for a park and the south side of Base Line Road is a Neighborhood Commercial center. The Victoria Land Use Plan contains six different kinds of residential land use designations As described in the plan, each residential land use designation will contain a variety of housing types at various densities that are compatible with the land use designation As stated in the Obfectives and Planning Concepts, the principal planning oblectrve is the create a total, integrated community that responds to the goals of the General Plan, the existing environmental issues identified within the planning areas itself, and the need for housmg and community services The land use plan and Resolution No. 81-37 state that in order to prowde flexibility in the development of the Victoria Planned Community, a maximum of 20 percent variation in the optimum yield may be allowable The land use amendment of the 20-acre parcel would consist of only 1 percent of the optimum yield allowable The Victoria Land Use Plan also requires that the total number of units not exceed 8,255 units within the Planned Community boundary The amendment will rezone the parcel to a lower density, which will lower the total amount of units developed on this property The proposed change would significantly lowerthe density range, hence, would also result in significantly lower vehicle trips Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Victoria Community Plan and the General Plan RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution recommending approval of the Victoria Community Plan Amendment to the City Counal Respectfully submitted, ~f~ ~ ~ ~ Brad Buller City Planner BB.EW mlg Attachments Exhibit "A" Site Plan Exhibit "B" Justification Letter Exhibit "C" Legal Property Description Exhibit "D" Existing Zoning Exhibit "E" Existing Land Use Exhibit "F" Initial Study Resolution Recommending Approval Na l//CTOR/A COMMUN/TY PLA/V AMENDMENT TRACT 16239 ~f). : P](^.fj ~ ~© ~ a®Ol 5<©J 06l 6) O ~ °r'®a®i© ~ ~ ~/n~ r:~)o]p = E 61 ® - S ® ~s ~ s ~ ~ 6- ~~'~ 'G~r n ~~ ez ~ " I P. ae`e n~• t3 Il%X-S ~~ C .~ I S © •s ~' S e6 r3 ©-_ i `_a OO •{,, 4 w y °' lf3 "~ ~ ® a~~5 ~ ] O s,` 65 ' I ~ )_ i z ~ c • y a e.mo- t ©, ti ~ i6 l - m ~ ~ fl ~ ~ ®~ - O", O z © ~O O Op ~, ~ 4 I .., a a.. st ~'"_axrK_ `"~>i• O p ® ~ ~ S ~cf I • O , .... v u w..• « }° a m. z- , Pin" S E I/9 S« ~ ( ~" i -- - -~~•~~- _ _ ~ ~ arm S na~ •. • m _ m ~- "~ ,~ ,,, O ®u> ~ ~ ~ uz,~ - n~ 4 L,.$®p One' ~" m roz ~A r •, $ 06 8 m • ~ bo o roi ." ,~• .~.. r'O E7/ 2 m ~ ~ ms rw ~ 2 sa ~ mom e . •6.. ~~ 9 r°' S 4 S _ i ©m • . • ~ ~ ; FROM.• pMp e ru" ~ ros e ~ ~ e ~ s ~~ ;~ sy °_ Y Q ; 1 ~ a -~ z 3• 'ej ~ j I .e 6) s ~ i ~r ~® ~ ~y ..

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the protect have the () () (x) ( ) 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 animal, or eliminate important examples of the mator periods of California history or prehistory b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential to () () () (x) achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long- term, environmental goals (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c) Cumulative: Does the protect have impacts that () () () (x) 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 ) d) Substantial adverse: Does the protect have () () () (x) environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly Comments: a) An initial study will be prepared by the developer for the proposed tract This will identify any adverse impacts to biological resources Due to the surrounding development, the protect site will most likely be void of any habitat for listed endangered or threatened species The potential of a property to degrade from a community plan amendment is less than significant b) The current amendment will not include development on this site No short-term impacts to air quality and noise will be addressed until a Development Review for the site is processed • Mai Initial Study for DRC2001-00263 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 12 c) The protect will have no cumulative impacts until the property has been approved for the Development Review and Environmental Assessment in relation to a future protect Probable future protects will have less impact because the amendment will allow a lower density zone on this site. d) The future development of single-family residences would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. An Environmental Assessment wdl be regwred with the Development Review of any protect on this site u EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tienng, 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 in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

Doug Fenn April 3, 2001 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMtN I ANU utvtwrnntrv i rstvicvv uu-oa -~"nnn~~o w.~~r , , ASSOCIATES - A request to develop two industrial warehouse buildings (Building "A" - 140,239 square feet, and Bwlding "B" - 201,493 square feet) totaling 341,732 square feet on 15 55 acres of land in the General Industrial Distract (Subarea 9), located south of Eighth Street, between Rochester and Buffalo Avenues - APN 229-251-34 and 229-262-06. Desion Parameters The site contains two vacant and adjacent generally rectangular shaped parcels that total 15 55 acres W ith the exception of the 18 existing Pine trees along Buffalo Avenue (which are to remain) there is no significant vegetation on the site The site is currently cultivated as a vineyard. The site slopes from north to south at an approximately 2 percent The site is generally surrounded by industrial type uses Budding "A" is proposed with a 5,000 square feet of office area and budding "B" with an office area of 8,000 square feet With the related truck trailer parking and current parking layout there is sufficent parking for the entire project area including the 'potential office" areas. However, a potential problem arses for budding "A,"with the total build-out of the "potential office" areas There will not beenough on-site parking for building "A "This could be modified with a lot line adjustment, reciprocal parking agreement or modifying the parking so that both bwldings would have sufficient on-site parking (again, this assumes bwld-out of "potential office" areas where developed). Otherwise, there is no parking situation, only the potential of one The buildings incorporate two primary building materials, however, the proposed sandblasted concrete could be centrally located for better wsibdity The office portion of the buildings are well articulated with strong vertical and horizontal changes and recess to the bwlding plane that are carried throughout and on all sides of the buildings Additionally, the public patio areas are designed to be accessible as possible to the office entryways of the faalities without conflicting with on-site traffic maneuvering areas The color variation of the building is studio gray and napoleon blue, old fashion gray and white Frazee, color scheme on a primarily concrete tilt-up fagade There is also vertical sandblast concrete element along with medum performance blue reflective colored glazing accents to help create contrast Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion Major Issues. The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. 1 Relocate the medium sandblasted base to the middle of the buildings or to the top of buildings 2 Should the potential office areas are developed, sufficient on-site parking shall be provided, or a recprocal parking easement or either a lot Ime adjustment will be necessary Secondary Issues Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues 1. Prowde pedestrian plaza screen wall minimum 3 feet high, around both outdoor employee eating areas 2 Decorative paving should be installed at the primary entrances off of Buffalo and Rochester Avenues T!~ DRC COMMENTS DR 00-59 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES April 3, 2001 Page 2 Policv Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion No exterior downspouts shall be visible from the adtacent right-of-ways Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the protect subtect to the modifications as recommend above.

The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 2.5 miles northwest of the sde, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 6 miles northwest These faults are both capable of producng M„, 6 0 - 7.0 earthquakes Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7 5 earthquakes, is 14 5 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to M„, 8 2 earthquakes, is 17 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking Adhering to the Uniform Budding Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant e) The site is relatively flat, so grading will be minimal and will even-out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.

Quality Management District (SCAQMD) gwdelmes. The 15 55 acre site also is less than the 177 acres per quarter SCAQMD threshold of significance for grading emissions However, 341,732 gsf bwlding is above the 276,000 gsf threshold of sigmficance for operational emissions (SCAQMD CEQA Handbook, 1993). The following mitigation measures wdl be used to mirnmize the protect contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants The criteria pollutants targeted for reduction are• reactive orgarnc gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NO,), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM,o). Two of these, ROG and NOx, are ozone precursors 1) The site shall be treated with water a minimum of twice per day, or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily, to reduce PM~o emissions in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. This will result in a minimum reduction of 68 percent of PM,o emissions during grading. 2) Rochester and Buffalo Avenues shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. The site access haul road will be watered a minimum of twice daily. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. This will result in approximately 3 percent reduction of PM,o emissions. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. . Emissions reduction not quantifiable. 4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~o emissions. Z22 Initial Study for DRCDR00-59 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 5) Vehicle speeds will be restricted to less than 15 miles per hour on unpaved portions of the site. This will reduce PM,o emissions by 70 percent. To determine whether potential air quality impacts from construction and operation of the prolect are compatible with regional air quality regulations the protect was screened using the URBEMIS7G emissions model Default values were used where prolect speafic information was unavailable. The actual end use is unknown, but typical uses for a prolect such as this were considered and the operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the protected vehicle types and taps per day from the protect traffic study The construction emissions do not exceed the SCAQMD thresholds of significance (Table 1) The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the ITE Trip Generation Manual 6th Edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model. In order to reflect the industrial nature of the proposed protect, the default fleet mix was modified to increase the number of trucks and decrease the number of light passenger vehicles The protect operational emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance (Table 2).
