The purpose of this heanng is for the applicant to comply with the Entertainment Permit Ordinance, which requires that any new business owner with live entertainment apply for a new Permit. Whereas an Entertainment Pennit is transferable, the City Planner will approve the transfer of the Good Fellas Conditional Use Permit to the applicant following approval of the Entertainment Permit BACKGROUND: In November 1997, Daniel Bruncati was issued Conditional Use Permit 97-37 for a bar in an existing cigar lounge. A modification to Conditional Use Permit 97-37 was made in May 1998 for live entertainment Subsequently, Conditional Use Permit 99-06 was issued for outdoor seating in May 1999 In December 2000, Robert Lang acquired the business from Daniel Bruncati. Dunng the annual Entertainment Permit renewal process, Robert Lang was informed by staff a new Entertainment Permit was necessary per the City Entertainment Ordinance. ANALYSIS A Proposed Entertainment and Secuntv. Entertainment provided by a disc jockey or live band is offered Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 p.m. to 1 00 a m. Security personnel is present Tuesday through Sunday 8.00 p.m. to 2 00 a m On Tuesday through Thursday one secunty person is present while Friday through Sunday two secunty people are present. B Compatibility of Use The site is situated among commercial development on all sides As . there are no residential uses in the immediate vicinity issues of compatibility are absent. ITEM B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EP DRC2001-00705 GOOD FELLAS BAR AND NIGHT CLUB DECEMBER 12, 2001 Page 2 C Public Safety The police call history for the site from May 2001 to the present reveals an isolated ncdent of a fight at approximately 11 30 p.m with one indiwdual being stabbed by an unidentified suspect in the parking lot. There is no evidence that this incident was related to entertainment being conducted at Good Fellas No other calls or inadents have been reported (Exhibit "E"). D. Code Compliance. Recently, an issue of blocking adjacent business walkways and posting flyers on nearby posts and cars occurred in October 2001, which was corrected A recent inspection of the site, however, revealed noncompliance with the City's Sign Ordinance in exceeding the maximum 30 percent window coverage. A condition of approval is in place to ensure compliance with the Sign Ordinance. E Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff believes the proposed entertainment is compatible with the other surrounding uses and complies with the obtectives of the Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: The item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley DaiN Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all properties and tenants within a 300-foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Entertainment Permit DRC2001-00705 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this report is for the Planning Commission to review the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan, forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council, and direct staff to initiate appropnate amendments to the Development Code, Victona Community Plan, and Terra Vista Community Plan. BACKGROUND: In June 2001, staff inVoduced to the Commission the draft design concept of the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The design concept was well received by the Commission at the meeting. Attached is a copy of the staff report and minutes, see Exhibit "A." The design consultant has been refining the concept plan based on the comments from the Commission and the Foothill Boulevard and Economic Development Task Force (Council Members Williams and Biane, Commissioners Stewart and McNiel). In August and September 2001, the Task Force reviewed the final design concept and directed staff to forward it for Planning Commission review and City Council approval. ANALYSIS: This section of the report will bnefly describe the intent of the Visual Improvement Plan and its design concept Representatives from the City's design consultant, Urban Design Studio/RBF, will be presenting a presentation of the design concept at the meeting. A Implementation of Foothill Distnct• A significant portion of the Foothill Boulevard Distnct in the Development Code is directed to the visual improvement of Foothill Boulevard/Route 66. Specifically, infrastructure upgrading involving special gateway design and color coordination involving hardware, street fumiture, poles and related obtects within the public nght-of-way are strategies menboned in the Implementation Section of the Foothill Boulevard Distnct. The Visual Improvement Plan will meet the intent of the mentioned strategies because the design concept will visually enhance the boulevard with street fumiture and elements that unify the streetsgpe, promote cohesiveness, and preserve Histonc Route 66 ~xh~b,~ `~'' C~D,~S PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT FOOTHILL BOULEVARD/ROUTE 66 VIP October 24, 2001 Page 2 B. Visual Improvement Plan Concept. The Visual Improvement Plan shows the specfic design for the two gateways at Grove and East Avenues and the eight activity centers Each intersection is uniquely designed to promote cohesiveness in all four comers It also shows the parkway transition design and the use of the Route 66 icon "embossed" on the asphalt pavement. The Visual Improvement Plan includes a collection of approved street elements such as a bus shelter, trash receptacles, benches, color and design of the poles, etc. and a palette of Route 66 icons. The intent of the Visual Improvement Plan is to include enough details and speclfications so that a designer can use it in prepanng construction plans C. The next step: As the Visual Improvement Plan is dose to completion, several planning documents, spedficelly the Development Code, Victona Community Plan, and Terra Vista Community Plan need to be amended to add language that references the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The purpose is for members of the development community and design professionals to be aware of the design concept and obtain the Visual Improvement Plan for the preparation of their development plans. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the Visual Improvement Plan to the City Coundl and direct staff to initiate Development Code, Victona Community Plan, and Terra Vista Community Plan amendments to reference the Visual Improvement Plan in those documents. The recommendation of approval of the Visual Improvement Plan should be fonnrarded to the City Council concurrently with the recommendation of approval for the amendments in the various Planning documents.

I. INTRODUCTION On September 16,1987, the City Coundl approved the Foothill Boulevard Spedfic Plan (FBSP). The FBSP was enacted to provide a unified development scheme for the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the community. t7f prime importance to the FBSP are the spedal streetscape design provisions which 'tte" together the visual aspects of this coalnletoal roadway.

At the time of the FBSP approval, the City Counal and Planning Commission expressed a desire to include significant design provisions of the plan in the development of the "missing link." This amendment to the Terra Vista Community Plan (TVCP), the Victoria Community Plan (VCP), and the Industrial Aroa Spedfic Plan (ISP) is proposed to include specific streetsmpe design provisions of the FBSP in the develop- ment of the properties adjacent to Foothill Boulevard. i The following provisions will apply to all properties bordering Foothill Boulevard within the TVCP, VCP, and ISP. This amendment augments the development regulations and standards of the TVCP, VCP, and LSP. When an issue, mndrtion, or situation occurs which is not covered or provided for in this amendment or provisions of the TVCP, VCP, or ISP, the regulations of the Development Code of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are roost applicable to the issue, rnndition, or situation shall apply.

COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT The Foothill Boulevazd Design Supplement rs intended to extend the concepts of the Foo vazd Speccfrc Plan to tire'~ussucg link" through the creation of a dynamo concourse that is attra high quality vnth a unifying community design image nflechve of the community heritage and providing an economically viable settucg for a balanced mixture of commercial and residential uses effiaent dmrlation and access. a GOAL: Chill Boule- ctive and of identity, with safe, Create a community image that expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho Cucearonga. B. Q@JECTIVES: Develop a streetscape system which designates major intersections as activity centers and emphasizes the suburban parkways between the activity centers as vehicular areas promote compatible building elevations which afford a human scale at pedestrian areas and provide transitions to buildings of greater herght, wht7e protecting adpining residential corrditioris. . Promote appropriate landscape treatments throughout the corridor, particularly those that are low mamtenarrce, drought tolerant, and wind resistant within intense urban conditrons. Provide for the control of visually objectionable views, such as outdoor storage and loading areas, through proper site design and screening. C. p9LIC1ES: Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes which are sensitive to creating a "heritage" statement for Foothill Boulevard. Require compliance with community design guidelines m plans for new development and expansion or redevelopment of existurg development and make community design a major consideration in site plan review and approval. Utilize landscape materials which are clean, safe, wind resistant, and relatively low maintenance. Formal forms and configurations should be utilized at activity center nodes while less formal configurations should be utilized throughout the parkway links between nodes. Designate spedal landscape and architectural features at major intersections. Combine thematic • plantings with contemporary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive character for the activity centers. Changes in paving materials, lighting, signing, and siturg of adjacent structures should occur at major intersections to enhance their distinctiveness.

AGTIVITY CENTERS: Activity centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevard corridor defined as'7lwlrre" or Statement" areas which "tie" together the visual aspects of the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the dty , promote concentrated activity at these areas, and give identity and theme to the areas in which they are located. The activity centers are located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard as indicated in Figure 2 ACTIVITY CENTERS 11 11 u Figure 2 -Activity Center tACattons Because three corners of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed, the devel- opment provisions of the activity center are limited to those st~eetscape and landscape improvements within the public rightof-way Therefore, many of the following standards apply only to the Milliken Avenue and Rochester Avenue activity centers: 1. Streetscape: a. All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The building setback areas will be enhanced pedestnan zones with specal hardscape materials, formal landsmpe arrange- ff menu, and pedestrian level lighting. ~.a..X~' ~GC b. Streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswallcs with special paving materials, li ht standards, and s~ee~fumiture dbe orm throup~put the Foothill Soule~ard 'do~ i~ ~T~ftL BDUGEwA 2~~T~ ~ /IS~L =M7`Ko t/~jr'tEfJT I"~°m c. The concept witfun the activity center is to incorporate a formal, regularly spaced, street tree planting system utilizing a palette of informally shaped, colorful trees. d. The urban or foetal streetscape design characteristic of the activity center should extend along Foothill Boulevard and secondary/intersecting streets to a point of logical transition to the suburban parkway Typically, the design will extard to at least the first driveway or as modified through the . design review process. The extent of the urban streetscape should be able to adjust to changes in public right- of-way conditions, such as right turn lames and bus bays.

At activity centers, buildings may be placed at or adlaoent to the front setback line to create a mom appeahng, active streetscape. Front yazd azeas of parking lots dominaturg the streetsoene are spedfically prohibited. b. Multi-story buildings shall be designed to relate to the pedestrian level. All ground srory facades shall be designed b relate to the human scale. This can be accomplished through the breaking of facades into bays and the signage brought down in size and location. Further, this reduction in scale can be estabhshed through the use of elements which add horizontal articulation to the facades. Examples of these elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings. (Milliken 6r Rochester only.) c. Buildings shall be designed to ehminate a fragmented, strip comarencial appearance and should be oriented to the activity center (Milliken do Rochester only). d. Architecture and outdoor spaces along Foothill Boulevard shall be integrally designed and oriented toward the pedestrian expeneuce• The experience should be visually diverse and stimulatirrg and should include activrtes that o-eate a sense of vanety and interest (Milliken 6r Rochester only). e. Structures, pathways, and landscaping shall be incorporated within the site so as ro ensure ease of access from one site to adpining sites in a safe manner. £ Building entrances shall be designed to accommodate logical pedestrian akroess from the Foothill Boulevard rightof-way. This may include duet( entrarrces from Foothill Boulevard, separations in the buildings that allow access to the interior plaza areas, or other appropriate methods. 3. Architectural Concept: a. Within individual activity center, the architectural style should be consistent to provide continuity of design at the intersection. 1. Milliken Activity Center -There are no existing buildings located at the Milliken activity center intersection. As a result, the Development Review process will establish the flavor for the area when reviewing the development proposals. New developments need not "duplicate" the architectural style of previous submittals but must be compatible in terms of architecture and orientation with the other corners) of the intersection. 2. Rochester Activity Center -New proposals shall consider and inspect the architectural style of e~asting buildings. For example, the Aggazzom Winery at the southeast corner of Foothill and Rochester, is a potential National Historic Registry candidate • Any proposals for this activity carter should be designed to be compatible with this structure. This does not mean that crew proposals must emulate the architectural style of the winery but, rather, that they must complement existing buildings. b, Differentiate the ground Floor facades from the second floor in recognition of the differences in the character of activities at the ground floor level. Examples incude, but are not limited to, the use of storefront glass, stepped-back or tiered forms, fenestration, and other appropriate architectural features faking Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, and Rochester Avenue.

Landscape Cotlcept: The acttvity centers shall be distinguished from suburban (uiformal) parkway areas through the use of focu[s], urban tree plantings. These formal plantings shall border all activity centers and shall define these areas as being higher intercity, urban districts. The plantings shall consist of an offset double row of Gape Myrtle (Iagerstroemia indica) tines along each mad frontage. Addi- tional plant materials (evergreen canopy trees, palms, etcJ maybe introduced to supplement the Gape Myrtle as a backdrop.

Landtlcape Concept: The plantings will consist of informal treatments, dominated by London Plane (Platanus aoerifolia), California Syc^rrrwre (Platanus racemosa), and Flowering Plum Q'runus caasifera) trees. Other species may be used to accent and/or supplement these designated tree types. The type and location of these spades should be reviewed in conjunction with specific development proposals. . C. PARKWAY TRANSITIONS: in order m provide a gradual transition from the urban activity asitas to the suburban, informal parkways, 'parkway transitions" will be introduced along the corridor. Parkway transitions are designed b blend the formal hardscape and tree planting pattern of the activity callers with the informal landscape and hardscape treatment of the suburban parkways Specifically, the parkway transition is n9iaracterized by a 75-foot to 150-foot zone, dominated by Flowering Plum trees.

GENERAL GUIDELINES: L Site Planning: a. Buildings shall be sited to create new pedestnan spaces that complement and expand the exrstmg pedestrian nghts-of-way along Foothill Boulevard. This can be acmmpLshed by creating plazas and allowing wider sidewalks on the boulevard. b. Buildings shall be designed and placed to minimize pedestrian/vehiculaz conflicts. Driveways and service areas shall be looted to avoid interferurg wrth the flow of pedestrian dreulation in and around the site. c, All auto related facilities (i.e. working bays, storage, etc.) shall be oriented/sneered away from public view d. Buildings should be oriented to encourage restaurants, services, limited retail uses (as permitted by the applioble Community or Specific Plan), and other high intensity pedestrian uses on the ground levels of all buildings within activity omters. 2 Parking Lots: a. Whenever possible, entries shall be located on srde streets in order to minimize pedes- trian/vehicular conflicts When this is not possible, the Foothill Boulevard site entry shall be designed with appropriate]y patterned concrete or pavers (behind the public rightof--way) to differentiate it from the sidewalks. b. Parking access points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, shall be located as faz from street intersections as possible. c. Parking areas shall be designed so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving velddes and minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles. d. Individual project Parking areas shall be linked with on-~te driveways which are deazly identified and easily recognized as connectors. New development projects shall delineate on all plans where vehicular connections to adjacent properties are located. The applicant must also demonstrate provi- sions for access easements for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with approved master plans. e. Pazldng areas shall be designed in a manner which link the building to the street sidewalk system to encourage and fadlitate pedestrian movement. This can be accomphshed by using design features such as walkways with enhanced pavurg, trellis structuns, and/or landscape treatments. 3. Landscape Design: a. All street furniture, light standards, bollards, and similar liazdware within 10 feet of the public right-0f-way shall be paroled a color chosen as the Foothill Corridor Theme Color. Sign faces may vary and match related azdiitecture. b. A colorful landscape edge shall be established at the base of buildings. Asphalt edges . at the base of structures are prohibited. Plant mabenals in contairers are appropriate. . DRCVCPA 01-03/DRCTVCPA 01-01 EXHIBIT "AS" ~` ~ F 3 1 t~aerrww Page 8 zA1 c. Internal pedestrian dreulation, linking office complexes with nenghboring comma- • cnal or office developments, should be located close to buildings. d. Planting clusters should assume anon-uniform arrangement. The diversity of massing types should be great enough to provide interest but kept to a level wtuch evokes a relaxed, natural feeling to the observer. e. Water conserving plantuigs and nrrigation shall be used in all landscaped areas. (Refs to City Ordinance No. 411- Xeriscape.) 4. Streetacape Ughting: a. It is the intent of streetscape fighting to add a consistent, planned look Eor Foothill Boulevard during day and evening hours. Lighting can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the streetscape design b. All lighting fixtures in the public right-0f--way shall be rnnsistent along Foothill Boulevard and approved by the City Engineer following recommendations of the Planning Commission Ivfatenals shall be consnstent and in keeping with the desired theme. Poles and supporting hardware shag be consistent with City standards. c. All development auras outsde the public right-of-way shall use high press~ie sodium lighting. All direct light rays shall be confined to the liailts of the building site. . IV. CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS A. Center Median Program -Based upon traffic analyses, a continuous 14-foot wide raised landscaped median shall be provided on Foothill Boulevard. The median can provide benefits necessary to aarommodate increased development and traffic demand in the following areas: ^ Increased vehicular rapaaty ^ Increased vehicular/pedestrian safety ^ Increased vehicular mobility ^ Increased vehicular level of service Median breaks shall occur only at major signalized intersections as determined by the City Engineer Alternate median breaks maybe considered subject to a detailed traffic safety analysis and subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. B. Median Design -The 14-foot wide median shall be designed to provide aoess rnntrol and a unifying landscape statement. Tlne median will feature two basic types of planting. Acrent tree planting (Gape myrtle), underplanted with a low evergreen groundcova, will be provided at median noses. Ever- greentrees (Rhos lances), underplanted with shrubs and groundmver, will be planted throughout the . balance of the median. (See Figure 6.)

I. INTRODUCTION Chi September 16,1987, the City Coundl approved the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP). The FBSP was enacted to provide a unified development scheme for the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the community. Of pnme importance to the FBSP are the spedal streetsrape design provisions which "he" together the visual aspects of this commercial roadway.

At the time of the FBSP approval, the Gty Council and Plannmg Commission expressed a desire to include significant desrgn provisions of the plan in the development of the "missing link." This amendment to the Terra VLSta Community Plan (TVCP), the Victoria Community Plan (VCP), and the Industrial Area Specific Plan (ISP) is proposed to include speafic streetso3pe design provisons of the FBSP in the develop- ment of the properties adjacent to Foothill Boulevard. The following provisions will apply to all properties bordering Foothill Boulevazd within the TVCP, VCP, and ISP. This amendment augments the development regulations and standards of the TVCP, VCP, and ISP. When an issue, condition, or atuation occurs which is not covered or provided for in this amendment or provrsions of the TVCP, VCP, or ISP, the regulations of the Development Code of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are most apphcable to the issue, condition, or situation shall apply.

COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT The Foothill Boulevazd Design Supplement is intended to extend the concepts of the Foothill Boule- vazd Speahc Flan to the'~issing luilc" through the creation of a dynarmc concourse that is attractive and of high quality with a unifying community desrgn usage reflective of the community heritage and identity, providing an economically viable setting for a balanced mixture of commercial and residential uses with safe, effiaent dreulation and amgs. a GOAL: Create a community image that expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho Cucamonga. B. OBJECTIVES: Develop a streetscape system which designates major intersections as activity centers and emphasizes the suburban parkways between the activity centers as vehicular areas. Promote compatible building elevations which afford a human smle at pedestrian areas and provide transitions ro buildings of greater height, while protecting adpuung residential conditions. promote appropriate landscape treatments throughout the corridor, particularly those that are low maintenance, drought tolerant, and wind resistant within intense urban conditions. Provide for the control of visually objectionable views, such as outdoor storage and loading areas, through proper site desrgn and screening. C. POLICIES: Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes which aze sensitive to creating a "hentage" statement for Foothill Boulevard. Require compliance with community design guidelines in plans for new development and expansron or redevelopment of existing development and make community deagn a major consrderation in site plan review and approval. Utilize landscape matenals which are clean, safe, wuid resistant, and relatively low maintenance. Formal forms and configurations should be utilized at activity center nodes while less formal configurations should be utilized throughout the parkway links between nodes. Designate spedal landscape and architectural features at major intersections. Combine thematic plantings with contemporary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive character for the activity centers. Changes in paving matenals, lighting, signing. and siting of adjacent structures should occur at mapr intersections to enhance their distinctiveness.

ACTIVITY CENTERS: Activity centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevazd corridor defined as'Therne" or Statement" auras which "tie" together the visual aspects of the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the aty , promote concentrated activrty at these areas, and give identity and theme to the areas m which they are located. The activity centers are located contiguous to Foothill Boulevazd as indicated in Figure 2 ACTIVITY CENTERS r~ ~~ P~' Q •y C < < < / Z i W W W = Y W J • _J ~ t~ C Figure 2 -Activity Center Locations Because three comers of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed, the devel- opmentprovisions of the activity center are lrrriited to those streetscape and landscape improvements within the public nghtof-way. Therefom, many of the following standards apply only to the Milliken Avenue and Rochester Avenue activity centers: 1. Streetscape: a. All building onentations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The building setback areas will be enhanced pedestrian zones with speaal hardscape materials, formal landscape arrange- ments, and pedestrian level lighting. ~~X-~- ~L~ b. Streetscape elements such as bollards, Qosswalks with spedal paving materials, li ht standards, and stfuruture d be uniform throu ut Foothill Boule,.yand rrido~ ~~ ~T~i~ ~30ULEvA'29/KovT,F~ VtStJ~}1- .ZM~o~r1Ef~1T I~~ c. The concept within the activity center is to incorporate a formal, regularly spaced, street tree planting system utilizing a palette of informally shaped, colorful trees. d. The urban or formal streetscape design characteristic of the activity center should extend along Foothill Boulevard and secondary/mtersecting streets to a point of logical transition to the suburban parkway. Typrcally, the design will extend to at least the fast driveway or as modified through the • design review process. The extent of the urban streetscape should be able to adprst to changes in public right- of-way conditions, such as right tour lanes and bus bays. ~~~ SI DRCVCPA 01-03/DRCTVCPA 01-01 pa e 4 ~At EXHIBIT "A4" g 2 Site Plannlnp: • a. At activity centers, buildmgs may be placed at or adjacent to the front setback line to create a more appealing. active streetscape. Front yazd aeeas of parking lots dommatmg the streetsoerre are speafically prohibited. b. Multi-story buildings shall be designed to relate to the pedestnan level. All ground story facades shall be designed to relate to the human scale. This can be accomphshed through the breaking of facades into bays and the signage brought down in size and loation. Further, thu reduction in scale can be established through the use of elements which add horizontal articulation to the facades. Examples of these elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings. (Milliken 6r Rochester on1yJ c. Buildings shall be designed to elmunate a fragmented, strip commercial appearance and shiould be oriented to the activity center (Milliken dr Rochester orily). d. Architecture and outdoor spaces along Foothill Boulevazd shall be integrally designed and oriented toward the pedestrian experience. The expenence should be visually diverse and stimulating and should include activities that create a sense of variety and mterest (Milliken 6r Rochester only). e. Structures, pathways, and landscaping shall be mcorporated within the site so as to ensure ease of access from one site to adpining sites in a safe manner. f. Bullding entrances shall be designed to accommodate logical pedestrian access from the Foothill Boulevazd rightof-way. This may include direct entrances from Foothill Boulevard, separations in the buildings that allow access ro the mterior plaza areas, or other appropriate methods 3. Architectural Concept: a. Within individual activity center, the architectural style should be consistent to provide continuity of design at the intersection 1. Milliken Activity Center -There are no eiastiig buildings located at the Milliken activity center intersection. As a result, the Development Review process will establish the flavor for the area when reviewing the development proposals. New developments need not "duplipte" the architectural style of previous submittals but must be compatible in terms of architecture and onentation with the other corner(s) of the mtersection. 2. Rochester Activity Center -New proposals shall consider and respect the architectural style of ewsting buildings. For example, the Aggazzom Winery at the southeast corner of Footiull and Rochester, is a potential National Histonc Registry candidate .Any proposals for this activity center should be designed to be compatible with this structure. This does cwt mean that new proposals must emulate the architectural style of the wmery but, rather, that they must complement existing buildings. b. Differentiate the ground floor facades from the second floor in recognition of this differences m the character of activities at the ground floor level. Examples include, but are not limited to, the use of storefront glass, stepped-back or tiered forms, fenestration, and other appropriate architectural features facing Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, and Rochester Avenue.

Landst:epe Concept: The actvtty centers shall be d,stinguished from suburban (informal) parkway areas through the use of fom,al, urban tree plantings. These formal plantings shall border all activity centers and shall defu,e these auras as being higher inter,s,ty, urban d,stricts. The plantings shall wnsist of an offset double row of Gape Myrtle (Iagerstroern,a ind,ca) trees along each road frontage. Addi- tional plant materials (evergreen campy trees, palms, etcJ may be introduced to supplement the Gape Myrtle as a backdrop. The type and location of the addmonal materials should be based on the parncular buiding design, scale, and setback. 1;NM /i4IIX{Ia .luw•+l~~l \ pY#P'-MwN7 1M'~~ Nom, ~egs.++",e~ ~-~u~ rzs.-iFer ,ae- (A'4rlYJ[(IP IlID IrM/X /WI~/4'rMJ~ IYWM 1L/y (P1Ni/)Iar' MlKiuif /1Y46Hb .CIt/'!1II?YW~ pirr~rw1"RWM.uM - Fountain Element t w EIVr~J/f[91M"infi+ ib~y.yyy ~K~~ NTIV/ Al14 Hrexnw a•o•nav _ ~~"N4r-tilvfalb A' _~ •~ -~ "• ' a1~ `~~~ 5~~+ ~~1; s"e v 4IJ '~~~ :!)3 • 4 v~l~ ~` , 5 ~RCVCPA 01-03/DRCNCPA 01-01 XHIBIT "A6" /a / • I~ \ J Formal Street A Tree Plantmp `~ Street Acrsas to Two Story Butlding Ennched Plata Ir• Paving fjµ'gylgCO~ /t#III,p) ~~~ NAM.GV ~M`V~ C/I-ieN4t,G /tisrvrna~oarw- "f~w'Y++ee"reswv+gal Ennehed Croat Walk Pavarg l ~'Sn/dfca'~es Grla,n,ge8 or ad de.~ -~ex.+ ~O°""fO3 ACTIVITY CENTERp -) NTERSECTION CONCEPT `-fl'4rrc r$S~bN ~e ~cµ ~c7ly ry GENT6ft FpZ fflorArrt 13wo/~rorFJc~ YHFRO~F.r?SJT /LdrJ , Cokwrade Entry ; Formal Foundation C D ~~J' ~ 7/91 Planting 1 I B.

Tn situations whew buildings are highly visible from the side streets and/or adjacent parlang areas, special emphasis shall be placed on seating architectural interest. 3. landscape concept: The plantings will consist of informal treatments, dominated by London Plane (f'latanus acerifolia), Cal(forrua Sycamore (Platanus racemosa), and Flowering Plum O''runus cerasifera) trees. Other spades may be used to accent and/or supplement these designated tree types. The type and location of these spades should be renewed in conjunction with specific development proposals. C. PARKWAY TRANSITIONS: in order to provide a gradual transition from the urban activity casters m the suburban, informal parkways, "parkway transitions" will be introduced along the corridor. Parkway transitions are designed to blend the formal hardsrape and tree planting pattern of the activity caters with the informal landscape and hardscape treatment of the suburban parkways. Spesfically, the parkway transition is characterized by a 75-foot to 150-foot wne, dominated by Flowering Flum trees. Other tree species may be introduced to supplement the Flowerurg Plum to assist in seating a smooth transition. ..

GENERAL GUIDELINES: L Site Planning: a. Buildings shall be sited to create new pedestrian spaces that complement and expand the existing pedestrian nghtsof-way along Foothill Boulevard. 7'h~s can be accomplished by creating plazas and allowing wider srdewalks on the boulevard. b. Buildings shall be designed and placed to rrunimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. Driveways and service areas shall be located to avord interfering with the flow of pedestrian arculation in and around the site. c. All auto related facilities (ix. working bays, storage, etc) shall beoriented/screened away from public view. d. Buildings should be oriented to encourage restaurants, services, limited retail uses (as permitted by the applicable Community or Specific Plan), and other high intensity pedestrian uses on the ground levels of all buildings within activity centers. 2 Parking Lots: a. Whenever possrble, entrees shall be located on side streets in order to minimize pedes- trian/vehicular conflicts When this is not possible, the Foothill Boulevard site entry shall be designed with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers Oxhind the public nghtoE--way) to differentiate it from the sidewalks. b. Parkurg access points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, shall be located as far from street intersections as possible. c. Parking areas shall be desrgned so that pedestrians walls parallel to moving vehicles and minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking scales d. Individual project parking arms stall be linked with on-site driveways which are clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors. New development projects shall delincote on all plans where vehcular connections to ad)aoent properties are located. The applicant must also demonstrate provi- sions for access easements for such vehcular movements to adjacent properties consistent with approved master plans. e. Parkrng areas shall be designed in a manner which ludo the building to the street sidewalk system to encourage and fadhtate pedestrian movement. Thrs can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced pavurg, trellis structures, and/or landscape treatments. 3. Landscape Design: a. All street furniture, light standards, bollards, and similar hardware within 10 feet of the public right-of-way shall be painted a rnlor chosen as the Foottull Corridor Theme Color. Sign faces may vary and match related architecture. b. A colorful landscape edge shall be established at the base of buildings Asphalt edges at the base of structures are prohibited. Plant materials in containers are appropriate. . DRCVCPA 01-03/DRCTVCPA 01-01 EXHIBIT "A8" ~ ~ n ~ ~ S r au~~aerrnu Page 8 ~At c. Internal pedestrian dreulation, linking office complexes with neighboring commer- oal or office developments, should be located close to buildings. d. Planting clusters should assume anon-uniform arrangement. The diversrty of massing types should be great enough to provide interest but kept to a level which evokes a relaxed, natural feeling to the observer. e. Water conserving plantings and rmgation shall be used in all landscaped areas. (liefer to City Ordinance No. 411- XeriscapeJ 4. Streetscape LJghting: a. It is the intent of streetscape lighting to add a consistent, planned look for Foothill Boulevard during day and evening hours. Lighting can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the streetscape design. b. All lighting fixtures in the public right~of--way shall be consistent along Foothill Boulevard and approved by the City Engineer followng recommendations of the Planning Commission. Materials shall be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme. Poles and supporting hardware shall be consstent with City standards. c. All development areas outside thepublic rightof--way shall use high pressure . sodium lighting. All duect bght rays shall be confined to the limits of the building site. IV. CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS A. Center Median Program -eased upon traffic analyses, a continuous 14-foot wide raised landscaped median shall be provided on Foothill Boulevard. The median can provide benefits necessary to accommodate increased development and traffic demand in the following areas: ^ Increased vehicular oapaaty ^ Increased vehicular/pedestrian safety ^ Increased vehicularrriobihty ^ Increased vehicular level of service Median breaks shall otter only at major signalized intersections as detemuned by the City Engineer. Alternate median breaks may be considered subject to a detailed traffic safety analysis and subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. B. Medien DeSiOn -The 14-foot wide median shall be designed to provide access rnntrol and a unifying landscape statement. The median will feature two basic types of planting. Accent tree planting (Gape myrtle), underplanted with a low evergreen groundcover, will be provided at median noses. Ever- greentrees (Rhos lanoea), underplanted with shrubs and groundcover, will be planted throughout the . balance of the median.

The purpose of this report is for the Planning Commission to review the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan, forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council, and direct staff to initiate appropnate amendments to the Development Code, Victoria Community Plan, and Terra Vista Community Plan. BACKGROUND: In June 2001, staff introduced to the Commission the draft design concept of the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The design concept was well received by the Commission at the meeting. Attached is a copy of the staff report and minutes, see Exhibit "A." The design consultant has been refining the concept plan based on the comments from the Commission and the Foothill Boulevard and Economic Development Task Force (Council Members Williams and Biane, Commissioners Stewart and McNiel). In August and September 2001, the Task Force reviewed the final design concept and directed staff to forward it for Planning Commission review and City Council approval. ANALYSIS: This section of the report will briefly describe the intent of the Visual Improvement Plan and its design concept. Representatives from the City's design consultant, Urban Design Studio/RBF, will be presenting a presentation of the design concept at the meeting. A Implementation of Foothill District: A significant portion of the Foothill Boulevard District in the Development Code is directed to the visual improvement of Foothill Boulevard/Route 66. Specrfically, infrastructure upgrading involving special gateway design and color coordination involving hardware, street furniture, poles and related objects within the public right-of-way are strategies mentioned in the Implementation Section of the Foothill Boulevard District. The Visual Improvement Plan will meet the intent of the mentioned sVategies because the design concept will visually enhance the boulevard with street furniture and elements that unify the streetscape, promote cohesiveness, and preserve Histonc Route 66. F3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT FOOTHILL BOULEVARD/ROUTE 66 VIP October 24, 2001 • Page 2 B Visual Improvement Plan Concept• The Visual Improvement Plan shows the specific design for the two gateways at Grove and East Avenues and the eight activity centers Each intersection is uniquely designed to promote cohesiveness in all four comers. It also shows the parkway transition design and the use of the Route 66 icon "embossed" on the asphalt pavement. The Visual Improvement Plan indudes a collection of approved street elements such as a bus shelter, trash receptades, benches, color and design of the poles, etc. and a palette of Route 66 icons. The intent of the Visual Improvement Plan is to indude enough details and spedfications so that a designer can use it in prepanng construction plans C. The next step: As the Visual Improvement Plan is dose to completion, several planning documents, spedfically the Development Code, Victona Community Plan, and Terra Vista Community Plan need to be amended to add language that references the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The purpose is for members of the development community and design professionals to be aware of the design concept and obtain the Visual Improvement Plan for the preparation of their development plans. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the visual Improvement Plan to the City Council and direct staff to inibate Development Code, Victoria Community Plan, and Tena Vista Community Plan amendments to reference the Visual Improvement Plan in those documents. The recommendation of approval of the Visual Improvement Plan should be forwarded to the City Coundl concurrently with the recommendation of approval for the amendments in the vanous Planning documents.

It has often been called the Mother Road or America's Main Street Throughout the west, it was known for Its unique car culture of the mid-century, Its creative highway signage, motels, trading posts, tourist traps, and service stations The Clty of Rancho Cucamonga has been gifted with having its mafor commercial corridor being a part of this uniquely American icon. W hale many towns search for a theme or a sense of place, this City already has the great opportunity to capitalize and enhance its inherent theme. Not only do the recent improvements along Foothill Boulevard create a significant streetscape character, but there are still vestiges of the Historic Route 66 waiting to be celebrated. With this Visual Improvement Plan, we hope to enhance and commemorate the history of America's most famous highway as it travels through the Clty of Rancho Cucamonga CITI' OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA F\ PAGE OF t ~~, ,~. VISUAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOOTHILL BOULEVARD-HISTORIC ROUTE 66 Purpose. The purpose of the Foothill Boulevard/Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan is to develop a design specification plan that will set forth design concepts for the streetscape Improvements within the public rights-of-way and entry areas along the entire length of Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga This plan well help guide a balanced and unified pattern of streetscape for both public and private development By drawing upon the existing positive improvements and developing a set of unique and unifying histonc elements, this plan will ensure that Foothill Boulevard will be an exciting reflection of Historic Route 66 as well as Historic Rancho Cucamonga. To accomplish this purpose, the plan provides specific design concepts for the westerly and easterly gateways and eight activity centers along the Foothill Boulevard corndor, from Grove Avenue to East Avenue It also provides concepts for the Suburban parkway enhancement areas at vanous locations, a unifying palette of streetscape furniture, unique Route 661cons, artwork, and vanous other visual enhancement concepts that can be utilized in future developments and improvements along the Boulevard. II. Project Area Description. The protect area consists of the entire length of Foothill Boulevard through the City, from Grove Avenue on the west to East Avenue on the east. The focus of the design concepts will be at the two entry gateway areas and the eight activity centers. The westerly gateway Is the area from Grove Avenue to the railroad overpass The eight activity centers are located in the areas of the major cross streets that intersect with Foothill Boulevard. They are Vineyard Avenue, Archibald Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, Rochester Avenue, Day Creek Boulevard, and EUwanda Avenue The easterly gateway is the intersection at East Avenue.

Design Concepts. A. Entry Gateways The Entry Gateway should announce not only the entrance Into the Clty but also acquaint the motorist with the fact that they are on Historic Route 66 and celebrate Its heritage. The westerly gateway consists of an expansive area from Grove Avenue to the railroad overpass. This area should Incorporate atwo-part design concept The first part of the gateway concept should focus on the City entry statement at Grove Avenue with a secondary portion of the entry statement occurring at the first widened median, allowing for special entry monument; possibly astreet-spanning signage. The Grove Avenue intersection should incorporate large accent setbacks with a modified version of the City entry monument and a backdrop of large accent date palms (See elevation and plan view) The comer areas should be paved with brick style concrete pavers matching the existing pavers In the Foothill Boulevard medians. The sidewalks extending approximately 100' -120' away from the corner setback areas should be 10' minimum wide curb adjacent with accent integral colored concrete, with a double row of brick bands (approximately 10' wide x 15' long grid pattern.) Crape Myrtle trees should be planted In an alternating pattem flanking both sides of the sidewalk at a spacing of 30' for each row. The trees should be in 4' x 4' tree wells with tree grates. The second portion of the western gateway should take place at the first widened median island. The focus of this area should be the street-spanning arch, which announces the entrance to Historic Route 66. Along the roadway edge, place a historical replica of the post and cable safety barrier. (See plan and sketch view for details and placement) Further to the east is the railroad overpass bridge. The facings of the bridge may be utilized as a placement for a large mural or relief panel of historic significance depicting Route 66 history or the eight states along its route. The east gateway is located at the Intersection of East Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Currently East Avenue does not continue across Foothill Boulevard to the south. However, the gateway concept should be designed with the assumption that ultimately East Avenue will be continued, as development occurs. The comerareas should incorporate large accent corner setbacks, with a modified version of the Clty entry monument sign and a backdrop of large accent date palms (see elevation and plan view) The corner areas should be paved with brick style concrete pavers matching the existing pavers in the Foothill Boulevard medians The accent sidewalk areas should be 10' wide, curb adjacent, accent integral colored concrete, with a double row of brick bands (approximately 10' wide x 15' long grid pattem) Crape Myrtle trees should be planted in an alternating pattern flanking both sides of the sidewalk at a spacing of 30' for each row. The trees should be in 4-foot by 4-foot tree wells with tree grates. This special accent sidewalk treatment should extend down approximately 100' to 120' In length from the comer setback areas. F12 r1 L_J • CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PAGE OF VISUAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN • FOOTHILL BOULEVARD-H15TORIC ROUTE 66 • Streetlights, as shown on the streetscape fumiture palette should be placed at approximately 120' on center with the first one being placed approximately 120' from the lighted traffic signal at the corner (These will ultimately replace existing cobra head lights ) Benches and trash receptacles, as shown on the streetscape furniture palette, should be placed In or near any bus shelter or bus stop location. If no bus stops are located on a block section, they should be spaced evenly down each block section, at 3 sets per block with one at or near each corner and one mid-block.

Activity Centers. As stated in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, the eight activity centers are typically located at mator intersections These activity centers should function to provide each district with a focal point emphasizing the Historic Route 66 character Although each of the eight separate activity centers have many unique design concepts, as shown on each plan, they ali have many design specifications In common which unity the entire protect Those unifying elements are as follows• Each activity center should have large corner setback areas, paved in back style concrete pavers, matching the existing brick pavers in the Foothill Boulevard medians. Paved corner setback areas should extend, at a minimum, to 20' beyond the point of curb return (approximately 40' from curb Intersection) Larger areas of corner treatments are highly encouraged Whenever possible, these comer setback areas should provide for direct access into the commercial centers adtacent to the activity center An alternative to the pavers would be accent Integral colored concrete with brick paver accent bands To the extent possible, the corner access areas should be planted with groves of specimen date palms spaced at approximately 20' on center in tree grates Each corner setback area should provide for the placement of special artwork or district Identification (See ArtworWlcon Palette for choices) These should be placed so they are clearly visible to both pedestrians, and vehicular travelers on Foothill Boulevard (See each Activity Center Plan View for locations) Provide Dared I- ; ;~ Access , , ,~,r ,~ ;'< ~' _____ `_i`~,'~ ',.: Comer ` k g ?; Paved Area Sidewalk ;' Accent ' f Area t ~ ~ r. 40' As stated in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, the formal streetscape design of sidewalks at the activity centers should extend along Foothill Boulevard and side/intersecting street frontages from the corner setback area to a point of logical transition to the suburban parkway This typically should be at least to the first driveway, or at least 120' on Foothill Boulevard and 100' on the side/intersecting street The sidewalks should be 10' wide Flab ~~ ~, CIT\' OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PAGE OF un. ~ ~~j a VISUAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOOTHILL BOLILEVARD-HISTORIC ROUTE 66 (minimum) accent Integral colored concrete with double rows of brick paver bands (approx 10' W x 15' L, grid pattern) The sidewalks should be curb adfacent at any corner that provides for a bus turnouUbus shelter location Otherwise, there should be a planted 4' wide (minimum) curb-adjacent parkway Crepe Myrtle trees should be planted In an alternating pattern flankin both sides of the sidewalk at a spacing of 30' for each row The trees should be in ~x 4' tree wells with tree grates. ~~ X~' I ,~ • . <` 4 ~ ~ ~' ' : ' ~ ' 10 ~ .a , * ~i ~'. .

Suburban Parkways The typical suburban parkway design for Foothill Boulevard should follow the guidelines set forth in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The parkway characteristics include rolling turf berms, meandering sidewalks, and informal drifts of London Planes, California Sycamores, and Purple Plum trees (See the Typical Suburban Parkway Plan View and Elevation) Located at various locations within the suburban parkways are many opportunities for enhancement areas that provide additional focal points to celebrate the Route 66 theme The approximate locations for these proposed enhancement areas are shown on the location map, and should occur as part of any new development of vacant parcels, or redevelopment within the locations takes place The enhanced features of these areas include replacing a 45' section of the typical parkway planting/sidewalk area as well as the roadway pavement and median, with special treatments of pavement materials artwork/icon placement and accent tree plantings.

Maintenance Maintaining banners require minimal effort when banners and mounting hardware are of high quality and are properly installed Occasionally banners and/or mounting hardware may be defective rather than improperly maintained The City is encouraged to keep a close eye on banners dunng extreme weather conditions Banners that are used dunng a long penod of time may become soiled dunng natural weather conditions It is recommended that banners be cleaned manually penodically H. Banner PlacemenUDistribution Some areas to consider for banner placement are • Initial installation at Activity Centers • First entire block at each Gateway entry area • One block in each direction from the Interstate 15 freeway • Eventually the entire length of Foothill Boulevard The Banner Advisory Committee shall determine the distnbution of the banners They may deade that every light pole could have banners or that every other pole is better The Banner Advisory Committee may also choose to place banners iust on the four poles on corners of street intersections I. Financing a Banner Program Vanous sources for funding a Banner Program may include • Assistance from the local chamber of commerce • Downtown Business Association • Local fund raising events • Grants from federal and state agenaes and local foundations • Sponsorship by local businesses • City's general fund for holiday decorations The source of the information provided is from the Banner Program Guidebook prepared by Kalamazoo Banner Works, Fifth Edition, November 1997. Referto this guidebook for more details h /pada/10100564/banner program wpd r 4. GRANT WRITING . Competition for community and economic development resources is fierce. Nevertheless, there are hundreds of resources available that might be tapped for a wide variety of improvement projects. Generally, competitiveness depends upon four key traits 1. Strategic rationale for the protect as demonstrated in the Visual Improvement Pfan. 2. Demonstrated broad public support for the project 3. Significant local matching funds and in-kind contributions (i.e., tangible local commitment) 4. Demonstrated organizational capaaty to complete the project (and/or manage it, if appropriate) The City of Rancho Cucamonga should ensure that each of these traits is addressed as it moves forward with the Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. Then it should define those resources most needed to assist local establishments and public works. Important resources currently unavailable should be sought to build the network necessary to accomplish key programs and projects. A variety of resources are listed in Section 3.3 that may be used for implementation of the Plan. These resources include funding and technical assistance from federal, state, regional, local and private nonprofit entities. Keep in mind that all potential outside supporters will seriously consider local investment and fundraising efforts. The greater local commitment, the more competitive the commurntywill . be for outside assistance. Toward this end, the Chamber of Commerce, RDA, and coordination of volunteer labor may be particularly valuable. The following grant writing advice is borrowed from the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance web site (www.ctda.aov/oubnc/cat-wrnina-. Although the information is geared toward the preparation of federal government grant proposals, much of it also applies to non-profit and private sector grants and assistance and will be helpful when preparing grant applications to imp/ement various aspects of the Visual Improvement Plan. PART ONE: DEVELOPING A GRANT PROPOSAL Preparation A successful grant proposal is one that is well-prepared, thoughtfully planned, and concisely packaged. The potential applicant should become familiar with all of the pertinent program criteria related to the Catalog program from which assistance is sought. Refer to the information contact person listed in the Catalog program description before developing a proposal to obtain information such as whether funding is available, when applicable deadlines occur, and the process used by the grantor agency for accepting applications. Applicants should remember that the basic requirements, application forms, information and procedures vary with the Federal agency making the grant award. Individuals without prior grant proposal writing experience may find it useful to attend a grantsmanship workshop. A workshop can amplify the basic information presented here. Applicants interested in additional readings on grantsmanship and proposal development should explore library resources. Visual Improvement Plan Pane 1 INITIAL PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT Developingldeasforthe Proposal When developing an idea for a proposal it is important to determine if the idea has been considered m the applicant's locality or State A careful check should be made with legislators and area government agencies and related public and private agencies which may currently have grant awards or contracts to do similar work. If a similar program already exists, the applicant may need to reconsider submitting the proposed project, particularly if duplication of effort is perceived. If significant differences or improvements in the proposed project's goals can be clearly established, it may be worthwhile to pursue Federal assistance. Community Support Community support for most proposals is essential. Once proposal summary is developed, look for individuals or groups representing academic, political, professional, and lay organizations which may be willing to support the proposal in writing. The type and caliber of community support is critical in the initial and subsequent review phases. Numerous letters of support can be persuasive to a grantor agency. Do not overlook support from local government agencies and public officials. Letters of endorsement detailing exact areas of proiect sanction and commitment are often requested as part of a proposal to a Federal agency. Several months maybe regwred to develop letters of endorsement since something of value (e.g., buildings, staff, services) is sometimes negotiated between the • parties involved. Many agencies require, in writing, affiliation agreements (a mutual agreement to share services between agenaes) and building space commitments prior to either grant approval or award. A useful method of generating community support may be to hold meetings with the top decision makers in the community who would be concerned with the subject matter of the proposal. The forum for discussion may include a query into the meats of the proposal, development of a contract of support for the proposal, to generate data in support of the proposal, or development of a strategy to create proposal support from a large number of community groups. Identification of a Funding Resource A review of the Obiectives and Uses and Use Restrictions sections of the Catalog program description can point out which programs might provide funding for an idea. Do not overlook the related programs as potential resources. Both the applicant and the grantor agency should have the same interests, intentions, and needs if a proposal is to be considered an acceptable candidate for funding. Once a potential grantor agency is identified, call the contact telephone number identified in Information Contacts and ask for a grant application kit. Later, get to know some of the grantor agency personnel. Ask for suggestions, criticisms, and advice about the proposed project. In many cases, the more agency personnel know about the proposal, the better the chance of support and of an eventual favorable decision. Sometimes it is useful to send the proposal summary to a specific agency offiaal in a separate cover letter, and ask Improvement Plan Paae 2 for revew and comment at the earliest possible convenience Always check with the Federal agency to determine its preference if this approach is under consideration. If the review is unfavorable and differences cannot be resolved, ask the examining agency (official) to suggest another department or agency which may be interested m the proposal. A personal visit to the agency's regional office or headquarters is also important. A visit not only establishes face-to-face contact, but also may bang out some essential details about the proposal or help secure literature and references from the agency's library. Federal agencies are regwred to report funding information as funds are approved, increased or decreased among protects within a given State depending on the type of required reporting. Also, consider reviewing the Federal Budget for the current and budget fiscal years to determine proposed dollar amounts for particular budget functions. The applicant should carefully study the eligibility requirements for each Federal program under consideration (see the Applicant Eligibility section of the Catalog program description). The applicant may learn that he or she is required to provide services otherwise unintended such as a service to particular client groups, or involvement of speafic institutions. It may necessitate the modification of the original concept in order for the protect to be eligible for funding. Questions about eligibility should be discussed with the appropriate program officer. Deadlines for submitting applications are often not negotiable. They are usually associated with strict timetables for agency review. Some programs have more than one application deadline during the fiscal year. Applicants should plan proposal development around the established deadlines. Getting Organized to Write the Proposal Throughout the proposal writing stage keep a notebook handy to write down ideas. Periodically, try to connect ideas by rewewmg the notebook. Never throw away written ideas during the grant writing stage. Maintain a file labeled °Ideas° or by some other convenient title and review the ideas from time to time. The file should be easily accessible. The gathering of documents such as articles of incorporation, tax exemption certificates, and bylaws should be completed, if possible, before the writing begins. REVIEW Criticism - At some point, perhaps after the first or second draft is completed, seek out a neutral third party to review the proposal working draft for continuity, clarity and reasoning. Ask for constructroe criticism at this point, rather than wait for the Federal grantor agency to volunteer this information during the review cycle. For example, has the writer made unsupported assumptions or used jargon or excessroe language in the proposal? Signature -Most proposals are made to institutions rather than individuals. Often signatures of chief administrative officials are required. Check to make sure they are • included in the proposal where appropriate. Visual Improvement Plan Paoe 3 Neatness- Proposals should be typed, collated, copied, and packaged correctly and neatly (according to agency instructions, if any). Each package should be inspected to ensure uniformity from cover to cover. Binding may requre either clamps or hard covers. Check with the Federal agency to determine its preference. A neat, organized, and attractive proposal package can leave a positive impression with the reader about the proposal contents. Mailing- A cover letter should always accompany a proposal. Standard U.S. Postal Service regwrements apply unless otherwise indicated by the Federal agency. Make sure there is enough time for the proposals to reach their destinations. Otherwise, special arrangements maybe necessary. Always coordinate such arrangements with the Federal grantor agency protect office (the agency which will ultimately have the responsibdiry for the project), the grant office (the agency which will coordinate the grant rewew), and the contract office (the agency responsible for disbursement and grant award notices), if necessary. PART TWO: WRITING THE GRANT PROPOSAL The Basic Components of a Proposal There are eight basic components to creating a solid proposal package: (1) the proposal summary; (2) introduction of organization; (3) the problem statement (or needs assessment); (4) project objectives; (5) protect methods or design; (6) project evaluation; (7) future funding; and (t3) the project budget. The following wdl prowde an overview of these components. The Proposal Summary: Outline of Project Goals The proposal summary outlines the proposed protect and should appear at the beginning of the proposal. It could be in the form of a cover letter or a separate page, but should definitely be brief -- no longer than two or three paragraphs. The summary would be most useful if it were prepared after the proposal has been developed in order to encompass all the key summary points necessary to communicate the objectives of the project. It is this document that becomes the cornerstone of your proposal, and the initial impression it gives will be critical to the success of your venture. In many cases, the summary will be the first part of the proposal package seen by agency officials and very possibly could be the only part of the package that is carefully reviewed before the decision is made to consider the protect any further. The applicant must select a fundable project which can be supported in wew of the local need. Alternatives, in the absence of Federal support, should be pointed out. The influence of the project both during and after the project period should be explained. The consequences of the project as a result of funding should be highlighted. Introduction: Presenting a Credible Applicant or Organization The applicant should gather data about its organization from all available sources. Most • proposals require a description of an applicant's organization to describe its past and present operations. Some features to consider are: A brief biography of board members and key staff members. Visual Improvement Plan Parma c • The organization's goals, philosophy, track record with other grantors, and any success stories. • The data should be relevant to the goals of the Federal grantor agency and should establish the applicant's credibility. The Problem Statement: Stating the Purpose at Hand The problem statement (or needs assessment) is a key element of a proposal that makes a clear, concise, and well-supported statement of the problem to be addressed. The best way to collect information about the problem is to conduct and document both a formal and informal needs assessment for a program in the target or serwce area. The information provided should be both factual and directly related to the problem addressed by the proposal. Areas to document are: The purpose for developing the proposal. The beneficiaries -- who are they and how will they benefit. The social and economic costs to be affected. The nature of the problem (provide as much hard evidence as possible). How the applicant organization came to realize the problem exists, and what is currently being done about the problem. • The remaining alternatives available when funding has been exhausted. Explain what will happen to the protect and the impending implications. • Most importantly, the specific manner through which problems might be solved. Review the resources needed, considering how they will be used and to what end. There is a considerable body of literature on the exact assessment techniques to be used. Any local, regional, or State government planning office, or local university offering course work in planning and evaluation techniques should be able to provide excellent background references. Types of data that may be collected include: historical, geographic, quantitative, factual, statistical, and philosophical information, as well as studies completed by colleges, and literature searches from public or university libraries. Local colleges or universities which have a department or section related to the proposal topic may help determine if there is interest in developing a student or faculty project to conduct a needs assessment. It may be helpful to include examples of the findings for highlighting in the proposal. Project Objectives: Goals and Desired Outcome Program obfectives refer to specific activities in a proposal. It is necessary to identify all objectives related to the goals to be reached, and the methods to be employed to achieve the stated obfectives. Consider quantities or things measurable and refer to a problem statement and the outcome of proposed activities when developing awell-stated objective. The figures used should be verifiable. Remember, if the proposal is funded, the stated objectives will probably be used to evaluate program progress, so be realistic. There is literature available to help identify and write program objectives. Improvement Plan Panes F Program Methods and Program Design: A Plan of Action The program design refers to how the project is expected to work and solve the stated problem. Sketch out the following: The activities to occur along with the related resources and staff needed to operate the protect (inputs). A flow chart of the organizational features of the project. Describe how the parts interrelate, where personnel will be needed, and what they are expected to do. Identify the kinds of facilities, transportation, and support services required (throughputs). Explain what will be achieved through 1 and 2 above (outputs); i.e., plan for measurable results. Project staff may be required to produce evidence of program performance through an examination of stated objectives during either a site visit by the Federal grantor agency and or grant reviews which may involve peer review committees. It may be useful to devise a diagram of the program design. For example, draw a three column block. Each column is headed by one of the parts (inputs, throughputs and outputs), and on the left (next to the first column) specific program features should be identified (i.e., implementation, staffing, procurement, and systems development). In the grid, specify something about the program design, for example, assume the first column is labeled inputs and the first row is labeled staff. On the grid one might specify under inputs five nurses to operate a child care unit. The throughput might be to maintain charts, counsel the children, and set up a daily routine; outputs might be to discharge 25 healthy children per week. This type of procedure will help to conceptualize both the scope and detail of the project. Wherever possible, justify in the narrative the course of action taken. The most economical method should be used that does not compromise or sacrifice project quality. The financial expenses associated with performance of the project will later become points of negotiation with the Federal program staff. If everything is not carefully fustified in writing in the proposal, after negotiation with the Federal grantor agenaes, the approved project may resemble less of the original concept. Carefully considerthe pressures of the proposed implementation, that is, the time and money needed to acquire each part of the plan. A Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart could be useful and supportive in justifying some proposals. Highlight the innovative features of the proposal which could be considered distinct from other proposals under consideration. Whenever possible, use appendices to provide details, supplementary data, references, and information requiring in-depth analysis. These types of data, although supportive of the proposal, if included in the body of the design, could detract from its readability. Appendices provide the proposal reader ~~ 2.. Visual Improvement Plan ,... _~ o,.......,, ~,...,...~...,~ Paae 6 with immediate access to details if and when clarification of an idea, sequence or conclusion is required. Time tables, work plans, schedules, • activities, methodologies, legal papers, personal vitae, letters of support, and endorsements are examples of appendices. Evaluation: Product and Process Analysis The evaluation component is two-fold: (1) product evaluation; and (2) process evaluation. Product evaluation addresses results that can be attributed to the protect, as well as the extent to which the project has satisfied its desired obtectives. Process evaluation addresses how the protect was conducted, m terms of consistency with the stated plan of action and the effectiveness of the various activities within the plan. Many agencies now require some form of program evaluation among grantees. The requirements of the proposed protect should be explored carefully. Evaluations may be conducted by an internal staff member, an evaluation firm or both. The applicant should state the amount of time needed to evaluate, how the feedback will be distributed among the proposed staff, and a schedule for rewew and comment for this type of communication. Evaluation designs may start at the beginning, middle or end of a protect, but the applicant should specify astart-up time. It is practical to submit an evaluation design at the start of a project for two reasons: Convincing evaluations require the collection of appropriate data before and during program operations; and, If the evaluation design cannot be prepared at the outset then a critical rewew of the program design may be advisable. Even if the evaluation design has to be revised as the project progresses, it is much easier and cheaper to modify a good design. If the problem is not well defined and carefully analyzed for cause and effect relationships then a good evaluation design may be difficult to achieve. Sometimes a pilot study is needed to begin the identification of facts and relationships. Often a thorough literature search may be suffiaent. Evaluation requires both coordination and agreement among program deasion makers (if known). Above all, the Federal grantor agency's requirements should be highlighted in the evaluation design. Also, Federal grantor agencies may require specific evaluation techniques such as designated data formats (an existing information collection system) or they may offer financial inducements for voluntary participation in a national evaluation study. The applicant should ask specifically about these points. Also, consult the Criteria For Selecting Proposals section of the Catalog program description to determine the exact evaluation methods to be required for the program if funded. Future Funding: Long-Term Project Planning Describe a plan for continuation beyond the grant period, and/or the availability of other resources necessary to implement the grant. Discuss maintenance and future program funding ~f program is for construction activity. Account for other needed expenditures if program includes purchase of equipment. ~ ~3 Visual Improvement Plan n.. ,.~ p......L... /"nno mnnno Paqe 7 The Proposal Budget: Planning the Budget Funding levels m assistance programs change yearly. It is useful to review the • appropriations over the past several years to try to protect future funding levels. However, it is safer to never anticipate that the income from the grant will be the sole support for the project. This consideration should be given to the overall budget requirements, and in particular, to budget line items most subject to inflationary pressures. Restraint is important in determining inflationary cost protections (avoid padding budget line items), but attempt to anticipate possible future increases. Some vulnerable budget areas are: utilities, rental of buildings and equipment, salary increases, food, telephones, insurance, and transportation. Budget adjustments are sometimes made after the grant award, but this can be a lengthy process. Be certain that implementation, continuation and phase-down costs can be met. Consider costs associated with leases, evaluation systems, hard/sott match requirements, audits, development, implementation and maintenance of information and accounting systems, and other long-term financial commitments. Awell-prepared budget tustifies all expenses and is consistent with the proposal narrative. Some areas in need of an evaluation for consistency are: (1) the salaries in the proposal in relation to those of the applicant organization should be similar; (2) if new staff persons are being hired, additional space and equipment should be considered, as necessary; (3) if the budget calls for an equipment purchase, it should be the type allowed by the grantor agency; (4) if additional space is rented, the increase in insurance should be supported; (5) if an indirect cost rate applies to the proposal, the droision between direct and indirect costs should not be in conflict, and the aggregate budget totals should refer directly to the approved formula; and (6) if matching costs are required, the contributions to the matching fund should be taken out of the budget unless otherwise specified m the application instructions. It is very important to become familiar with Government-wide circular requirements. The Catalog identifies in the program description section (as information is provided from the agencies) the particular circulars applicable to a Federal program, and summarizes coordination of Executive Order 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Programs" requirements in Appendix I. The applicant should thoroughly review the appropriate circulars since they are essential in determining items such as cost principles and conforming with Government guidelines for Federal domestic assistance.

ITEM G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16279 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES DECEMBER 12, 2001 . Page 2 BACKGROUND This protect as been through various design modifications since the original Tentative Map was submitted in April 2001 as Tentative Tract 15195. Tentative Tract 15195 was formally withdrawn in August 2001. The current Tentative Map 16279, submitted on October 9, 2001, is in essentially the same location, however, it includes an additional parcel of land, for a total tract area of 57 acres Incompleteness comments prepared by Planning, Engineering, Fire, and Building and Safety, were sent to the applicant via letter dated October 24, 2001 (Exhibit A) On November 5, 2001, staff received an appeal of those completeness comments from the applicant (Exhibit B). The letter states that the "inclusion of this properly into the Etiwanda Equestrian Overlay District and the requirement of the associated equestrian completeness items are a misinterpretation of the Etiwanda Specific Plan." In addition, the applicant is disputing the regwrement to meet the newly adopted amendments to the Etiwanda Spec Plan, pertaining tothe minimum dimension for equestrian lots. In considering this appeal, the Planning Commission may "affirm, affirm in part, or reverse the previous {incompleteness} determination, provided that an appeal is not to be granted onlywhen the relief sought should otherwise be granted through Variance or amendment " (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, Section 17.02 080) ANALYSIS• A The primary issue identified in the applicant's letter of appeal is the Etiwanda Specific Plan Policy 5 25.500.502-Equestrian Overlay DistncUDistnct Boundaries "EO/OL District provisions shall apply to all residential properties located north of Route 30(210), and to all residential properties abutting a Community Equestrian Trail " Figure 5~ (Exhibit C) indicates the Equestrian Overlay area, and Figure 5-18 (Exhibit D) indicates the location of all proposed Community Equestrian Trails, the project location has been highlighted on both Figures for reference. The focus of the applicant's appeal is based on the location of the Community Trail in relation to the protect boundary As shown on Figure 5-18 (Exhibit D), the Community Trail is located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue north of I-210, crossing to the south side of Highland Avenue, then continuing along the south side of Highland Avenue to the west. Therefore, access to the Community Trail from this project would occur at the southeast comer of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues In order to access the Community Trail, staff has suggested that the Vail continue from the comer, along the southerly side of the Highland Avenue alternate alignment through the tract. Staff has made this determination for the following reasons: 1. There are several undeveloped parcels located at the southeast comer of Highland Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue within the Very Low Residential Land Use Designation, and being adtacent to the Community Trail at this comer, this entire area is considered to be within the Equestrian Use area. The proposed protect is located within this area (Exhibit E). 2 The lots along the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Highland Avenue are designed for horse keeping, with access to the Community trail in the rear of the lot ~.a PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16279 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES DECEMBER 12, 2001 Page 3 3 Newer tracts located along the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, even further to south of Tract 16279, are designed incorporating local feeder trails with connections and extensions of the Community Trail. 4 The southerly terminus of the Community Trails in Etiwanda is the Paafic Electnc Inland Empire Trail, which is located approximately 1,300-feet south of Victona Avenue; and Tract 16279 could be designed to access this Community Trail system • B. Secondly, the applicant disputes the application of the Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment adopted by the City Council on November 7, 2001 (Second Reading), which regwres a minimum lot depth of 200 feet for all properties designed for horse keeping (Exhibit G) Staff's opinion is that this revision will apply to this protect, since it is an incomplete application and has not been approved or otherwise vested pnor to the adoption of the code revisions.

Completeness Items -Additional informaLon that must be submitted prior to finding the application complete: 1. The application form must include the signatures of the current legal properly owners (or separate letters of authonzation), this would include Caltrans who is the owner of the current Highland Avenue Frontage Road. 2. Address the placement and location of local trails within the Tract. They may either be located along the rear of the lot, using the standard tnal section, or you may consider the front-loaded trail design if maintained by a homeowners' association (as used in Deer Creek, for example). A Community Trail should be provided within the nght-of-way along Highland Avenue Southwest Frontage Road, connecting to the existing Community Trail at the southeast comer of Etiwanda Avenue and Highland Avenue This requires a 20-foot parkway dedication in order to accommodate the trail along the parkway. 4. Provide an exhibit that reflects the typical pad and corral areas (example enclosed) foreach lot, and demonstrate that the corral will be setback at least 70-feet from homes on adfoining lots. 5. Provide a Landscape Plan illustrating proposed slope planting concept; parkway landscaping along those areas that would be City maintained, the proposed street tree concept on intenor streets; and walls or fences and proposed matenals. 6 The Grading Plan must show access to the local trail If the trail is in the rear of the lot that contains a slope, then you must show a ramp up from the lot to the trail. You have provided some cross-sections on Grading Plan Sheet 1 of 5; however, the other sheets do not include any cross-section indicators to reflect where the section is taken. 8 Provide an exhibit that reflects your tree preservation and windrow replacement plan. ~5 ~'Xf~/8 ~~ 2- COMPLETENESS COMMENTS SUBTT16279 October 24, 2001 Page 2 9 Subdivision Map -The ma)onty of the right-of-way line is missing for Highland Avenue Southwest Frontage Road, which appears to be a drafting error. B. Technical Issues -The following preliminary technical issues are minimum code requirements, which must be satisfied before the pro)ect can be recommended for approval to the Planning Commission It is recommended that these issues be addressed in the revised plans: 1. The existing Palm trees along the north property boundary (along the south side of the freeway) must be protected in-place in accordance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan Rewse your Grading Plan to reflect this condition. 2 Several lots do not meet the required lot depth of 200 feet. There would be no real reason to support a vanance on a new tract application such as this. 3. Lots that have aside-to-rear orientation must have sufficient side yard area in order to be setback at least 70-feet from corrals on adjoining properties. This condition must be defined on the corral exhibit as discussed earlier. 4 Along the north property boundary, if the Highland Avenue frontage road is vacated and removed, then the slope as shown on the plan would be located closer to the north boundary line (south of the existing Palm Trees) C. Desion Issues -The following are preliminary design issues that are recommended to be~ addressed in the revised plans: Provide equestnan trail system sennng all lots. 2. The lot area around the existing histonc structure, The Kemp House, is not adequate. Prowde sufficent yard space around the house to allow for restoration of the structure and the setting (i.e small grove), approximately 1-acre. 3. Several lots or lot configurations are awkward and may not be conducive to animal keeping. This condition must be defined on the corral exhibit as discussed earlier 4. Illustrate the proposed parkway condition along the rear of lots on the south side of the Tract including walls and parkway landscaping. III.

The Etiwanda Spedfit Plan (ESA states in polity 5.25.500-Equestrian Oveday District: "District boundaries; District provisions shall apply to all residential properties located North of route 3D and to all residential properties abutting a oommunitytrail.- Ali references bo the Overlay District and to trail lomtions are depicted on figure 5-18. Tract 16279 is South of route 30 and does not shut any • community trail system. The Qveday District does not apply to this trail, In fact, this tract is an isolated VL de~gnated sine adjoining older residential properties which are not equestrian in nature. The encouragement of equestrian uses in the area wouhi create an ongoing neighborhood nuisarroe and is dearly not contemplated by the Spedfic Plan. Moreover. city new equestrian trans in this neighborhood would lead W rwn-equestrian neighborhoods, defeating the continuity and purpose of the trail system. In addition. I am tonaemed that the wggested new equestrian-oriented development standards have not been reviewed and adopted by the City Council. To apply these prospective standards to the Project prior to their adoption is beyond the authority of the City and is eonoary to the Permit Streamlining Ad (Government Code Section 65920 et segJ. The application wbmitted carrrerrtly meets or exceeds all of the existing devebprnent sandards of the Crty and the Specific Plan and should be deemed oompiete as wbmlttred. I hope the above discussion will cenvince you there are sufficient reasons to reconsider these incompleteness items and start a new dialogue toward improving this project utilizing the exlstlng Polices and development standards of the Gty. I look forward to meeting with you as soon as possible. Sincerely, / Gam` panrryl. &ose .

Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Donald Granger, Assistant Planner SUBJECT• CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRCDR00-81 - Jarod Crow -An appeal of the City Planner's decision to not require fencing along the southeasterly property line fora 2,455 square foot single-family home on .29 acre of land in the Low Residential Disthct, located at 8721 Predera Court-APN: 207-631-19 BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2000, Mr Jim Gray, general contractorfor the applicant, Mr. Jarod Crow, • submitted an application for a Hillside Design Review. On March 6, 2001, the Grading Committee conceptually approved the grading plan and the application was forwarded to the City Plannerfor review and action On March 12, 2001, the City Planner approved Development Review DRCDR00-8l with conditions (Exhibit "F"). A. General: The applicant is currently constructing the approved two-story home at 8721 Predera Court. The home complies with Development Code standards for setbacks, lot coverage, allowable building envelope, and hillside grading standards. The applicant's house is split-pad design, with a grade differential of 1'/~ feet. The split pad has been graded with finished elevations of 110 5 and 112 0 over native grades that range in elevation from 108 0 to 114.0. The lower elevation of the split-pad design is located near the southerly portion of the lot, consistent with the natural slope of the lot (Exhibit "D") No excavations orfills in excess of 5 vertical feet were approved forthe applicant's house. The applicant's house is 10 feet from the southeasterly property line, thereby exceeding the minimum setback of 5 feet The distance between the applicant and appellant's house is approximately 30 feet, the minimum required within the Low Residential Distnct is 10 feet The height of the house at the ndgeline is 26 feet 11 inches, under the 30-foot maximum allowable building envelope. The difference in elevation between the appellant's lot and the applicant's lot is approximately 11 feet The appellant had previously installed a chain link fence at property line The applicant built a 4-foot retaining wall located 1 foot off the southeasterly property line that has been constructed in accordance with the approved plans (Exhibit "G"). The applicant added two windows on the second floor, which face the appellants' property, contrary to the approved plans The City has issued a correction notice to remove these windows. B Aooellant's Appeal. Charles Buquet, adjacent property ownerto the south (Exhibit "C"), is appealing the • City Planner's decision to not require side yard fencing atop the existing 4 foot retaining wall along the southeasterly property line between the applicant's house and the appellant's house. The appellant ITEM H PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APPEAL OF DRCDR00 - 81 December 12, 2001 Page 2 states that the lack of Penang has resulted in an "invasion of pnvacy and penmeter secunty fencing breach" (Exhibit "E") The appellant further states that the City Planner's deasion to not require Penang is contrary to the regwrements of the Development Code C Response to the Appeal The appellant states that lack of a condition of approval requinng the applicant to install penmeter Penang has resulted in an invasion of pnvacy, which, the appellant contends, is contrary to the Development Code. Regarding fencing within the Hillside Overlay Distnct, Section 17 24 060-D-1 of the Hillside Development Regulations states the following. "The use of open view fenang is encouraged, so long as adequate public safety and residential pnvacy are maintained " Section 17.24 060-D-1 of the Hillside Development Regulations states that "walls should not dominate views, and Section 17 08.090-C-6 of the Development Code states that fenang in residential distncts is discouraged "unless needed for a speafic screening or safety purpose "Section 17.08.050-B-1 of the Absolute Policy Section of the Development Code states that protects should be "compatible with and sensitive to the immediate environment of the site and neighbofiood." D Conclusion: Because of the presence of a significant grade difference between the two properties and in the interest of sensitivity to the adjacent property, staff believes that a condition of approval requinng fenang along the southeasterly property line is a reasonable and appropnate requirement. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the appeal, thereby modifying the City Planner's approval of DRCDR00-81 to include a condition of approval requinng fenang along the southeasterly property line through adoption of the attached Resolution .

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-0807 Re: Appeal of Design Review for 8721 Predera Court Dear Brad: This is as a follow-up to our meeting with you at your office on Wednesday, November 7, 2001, and extended discussion of various security and pnvacy issues concerning the referenced matter. At this meeting, you provided oral notice that you felt you would be unable to resolve the invasion of privacy and perimeter security fencing breach resulting from your approval of the house. As we discussed, this design review was approved without requinng privacy/security fence installation along the 160' southeastern property line, contrary to those provisions outlined in the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code. While we regret the need to file this appeal, we believe we need to protect our rights under the City Design Review process. This is particularly important in light of our recent meeting discussion, where you informed us that windows have been installed by the contractor contrary to approved plans on file with the City. We have attempted to resolve our issues with the adiacent property owner in good faith for several months, with no success in this effort to date. The foregoing issues and experience explain why we have to exercise the appeal process alternative at this time. We had truly hoped that your office would be able to facilitate resolution of our concerns consistent with those requirements normally conditioned on residential projects filed with the City, which did not occur in this case We look forward to expedient resolution of our appeal with this matter of considerable importance to our security and the peace and enjoyment of our home and property. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest opportunity should you have any questions or need of additional information concerning this matter. Sincerely, C~ Charles J.
