TO Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Donald Granger, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRCDR00-49-JAMILSAMOUH-A request to construct
a 5,235 square foot single-family home on 1.22 acres of land in the Hillside
Residential District, located at 3500 Skyline Road - APN• 200-441-66
ANALYSIS:
A Applicable Regulations The Development Code regwres Planning Commission Rewew when
one or more of the following activities are proposed• natural slopes equal to or greaterthan 15
percent on all or part of the subtect site, fills or excavations exceeding 5 feet in vertical depth,
and fills or excavations that result in earthwork quantities of 1,500 cubic yards or more The
subtect property has natural slopes that range from 10 percent to over 50 percent, 9 feet of fill
m certain areas, and earthwork quantities totaling 1,000 cubic yards
B Backoround The site is a 1 22-acre lot within Tract 10210, a 33-lot subdivision that was
recorded in 1986 To date, there are approximately 9 vacant lots left within the subdivision
The lot is located on the north side of Skyline Drive, near the north boundary of the
subdivision, and slopes northerly (front line to rear lot line) This property is severely
constrained by slope and fault setbacks, hence, it is one of the few remaining unbudt lots
within Tract 10210 The lot commands a spectacular view of the valley due to its prominence
above Skyline Road Existing homes within the subdivision are single and two-story, with
architectural styles and features similar to the applicant's The existing homes utilized contour
grading, stepped pads, and slope plantings to meet the regwrements of the Hillside
Ordinance.
C Proposed Proiect• The applicant is proposing to bwld a two-story, single-family home within
the Hillside Residential District The lot is generally triangular in shape, and slopes are
variable, ranging from 10 percent to over 50 percent. The proposed protect is under the
maximum allowable limits for bwlding envelope, setbacks, and lot coverage An improved
Local Feeder trail exists along the south property line. A 15-foot wide Local Feeder Trial will
be required to be installed as a Condition of Approval, providing a link between the existing
Local Feeder Trail on the west side of Skyline Road and the existing Community Trail that
borders the easterly lot line (Exhibit "B")
ITEM A
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DRCDR00-49 - JAMIL SAMOUH
March 27, 2002
Page 2
Staff believes the proposed design is consistent with the goals of the Hillside Development
Ordinance because it incorporates techniques that allow the house to follow the native terrain,
thus minimizing grading The proposedtwo-story house is designed with 3 stepped pads that
have an overall grade difference of 2 75 feet The house has one three-car garage oriented
away from the street All budding elevations are well articulated, utilizing various architectural
features including turrets, balconies, and variation in the building footprint Architectural
treatment to all sides is accomplished with stacked ledgestone evenly distributed on all
elevations and window surrounds on all elevations. The architectural style of the house is
compatible with the surrounding area.
D. Grading Committee: On February 5, 2002, the Grading Committee reviewed the protect and
did not recommend approval The Committee felt that the interceptor dram should be moved
to the north side of the trail, a culvert should be provided to accept the drainage along the
north property line, and the concentration of flow along the retaining wall to the south of the
structure should be reduced with an energy dissipating device. The Committee recommended
that the applicant revise the protect and re-submit for the next available Grading Committee.
On February 19, 2002, the Committee reviewed the revised protect and recommended
approval. Though the protect exceeds 5 vertical feet of fill in certain areas, staff believes the
proposed design is consistent with the existing homes within the subdivision and meets the
guidelines of the Hillside Development Regulations Staff believes that the proposed grading
has been adequately mitigated through the use of mature landscaping and contoured slopes.
The Landscape Plan, including slope design and plant palette selection, will be reviewed by
the City Planner prior to budding permit issuance
E Design Review Committee On February 5, 2002, the Committee (McNiel, Stewart, and Fong)
reviewed the protect and recommended approval, subtect to staff's recommendation that
graded slopes be rounded off and contoured to blend with the land and intensified
landscaping (trees and shrubs) be included to soften and vary slope planes. The Design
Review Committee's recommendations have been included in the protect's conditions of
approval
Technical Review Committee. On February 6, 2002, the Committee reviewed the protect and
determined that review by the Planning Commission would be regwred because the protect's
natural slopes are equal to or greater than 15 percent. The protect is consistent with all other
applicable Hillside Regulations and Development Code requirements.
G. Trails Review Committee: On February 13, 2002, the Trails Advisory Committee reviewed the
protect and recommended approval, subtect to the following conditions• a separate drive
approach shall be installed for the trail, the 2.1 fill slopes shall be planted with appropriate
landscaping, and fenang shall be installed adtacent to the south side ofthe v-ditch The Trails
Advisory Committee's recommendations have been incorporated into the protect's conditions
of approval.
H. Environmental Assessment: The protect is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, pursuant to Section 15303(a) of the State CEQA

FROM. Brad Buller, City Planner
BY Brent Le Count, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT TRACT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES - A request by Brynda
Fryan as a representative of the Belmont Equestnan Estates to amend the
CC&Rs for Tract 15915 to allow full height private gates across Local Feeder
Trails where they Intersect with public streets - APN: 1089-081-01 through 14,
and 1089-071-01 through 22
REQUESTED ACTION The applicant wishes to amend the CCBRs for Tract 15915 to allow
Local Feeder Trails to be gated off While not included In the request, this would also
necessitate amendments to the Conditions of Approval for the tract, the General Plan, the Trails
Implementation Plan, the Development Code, and the Etiwanda Specific Plan
BACKGROUND This request was reviewed by the Trails Advisory Committee on
February 13, and 27, 2002 Refer to Exhibit "A" of this report for the history of this request The
Committee views the issues raised by the residents of Tract 15915 as a crime prevention
problem, not atrail/gating problem If the claims made by the residents, including children
stealing construction materials from the backyard of a home enclosed by a 6-foot masonry wall
are true, it is unclear how the installation of 6-foot high wrought iron gates across trail entrances
will impact crime, vandalism, or trespassing. The more appropnate solution to the problem is to
utilize Police services including the Neighborhood Watch Program
Note that the Police Department held a Neighborhood Watch meeting with homeowners within
the tract in June of 2001 Since that time, the Police have not heard from any of the
homeowners within the tract wishing to implement the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Please refer to the attached Trails Advisory Committee staff report and action agenda for further
details. Note that the Trails Advisory Committee report of February 13, 2002, contains its own
set of exhibits
RECOMMENDATION The Trails Advisory Committee recommends that the CC&Rs for Tract
15915 not be amended and that any gates Installed within the tract shall meet the City's
approved gate with step-thru design per Standard Drawing 1006-C After the Commission
hears testimony and deliberates on the item, the decision will be recorded as a minute action

B. TRACT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES - A request by Brynda Fryan
as a representative of the Belmont Equestnan Estates to amend the CCBRs for
Tract 15915 to allow full height pnvate gates across Local Feeder Trails at the
intersection with public streets. APN~ 1089-081-01 through 14, and 1089-071-01
through 22
BACKGROUND: Woodside Homes constructed the Belmont Equestnan Estates
protect located on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Victoria Street The
tract is within the Very Low Residential Zone (1/2-acre lots) and subiect to the
provisions of the Equestnan Overlay District and was, therefore, required to install
Local Feeder Trails and Community Equestnan Trails The tract lies at the
intersection of the planned north-south Community Trail extending northerly to
connect with Wilson Avenue and the planned east-west Community Trail in the
abandoned rail corridor as part of the Rails-to-Trails program.
During construction, Woodside Homes installed several wrought iron gates across
the entrances to pnvate equestrian trails within the tract at the request of
. homeowners and in violation of the CC&Rs and the Rancho Cucamonga Muniapal
Code Evidently, the homeowners were concerned that without the gates there
would be insufficient security because the general public would use the pnvate trails
that go across their rear yards. The gates installed by Woodside Homes did not
match the City standard design for equestrian trail gates insofar as no step-through
or step-over provisions were included. Therefore, the rider of a horse would have
had to dismount to open the gate (assuming it is unlocked) in order to use a trail
Prior to completing the protect, Woodside Homes removed all of the substandard
gates per staff direction with the exception of three gates. One gate is located at the
northeast corner of Lot 1 (David and Angela Lowhee) at the intersection of George
Court and Grape Place, and a second at the north corner of Lot 4 where it intersects
the Community Equestrian Trail along the west tract boundary. These two gates
were retrofitted with aCity-approved modified horse step-over to allow unimpeded
access for horses. The third gate is located at the northeast corner of Lot 32 (Bob
and Brynda Fryan) on the south side of Saddleridge Drive lust west of Etiwanda
Avenue (Exhibit "K"). The Fryans installed this gate and, therefore, Woodside
Homes could not remove it. The Fryans received a nonce of violation from the City's
Code Enforcement Division in Spring of 2001. The Fryans responded by addressing
the City Council during oral communications Planning staff was directed to attempt
resolution of the matter to avoid further Code Enforcement proceedings.
For several months, Planning Division staff attempted to negotiate either removal of
the gate or installation of a step-over to allow unimpeded horse access to the trail
with the Fryans The Fryans requested several delays to ascertain whether open
trails within the tract would in fact lead to problems and whether start of the school
year at the funior high school on Etiwanda Avenue would result in students passing
through the trails and causing problems. Staff inspected the trails on a weekly basis
during the months of discussions with the Fryans and on no occasion found evidence

TRAILS AGENDA
TT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES
February 13, 2002

of any vandalism other than some construction debris in one trail that was related to
a remodeling of one of the homes in the tract. In October of 2001, the Fryans stated
that regardless of the lack of problems with any of the trails in the tract, they had no
intention of removing then gate The matter was brought before the City Prosecutor
in late October 2001, and the Prosecutor agreed to delay making a final deasion on
the case to allow the Fryans one month to attempt to amend the Development Code
to allow for installation of gates across horse trails. The request before the Trails
Advisory Committee is the Fryans' first step towards this attempt. The Fryans have
removed the westerly half of their trail gate, but wish to re-install it.
Please note the attached chronology of events dated November 8, 2001,
(Exhibit °F°) for further details.
ANALYSIS: The applicant has maintained that the reason for their request is to
prevent school children and potential miscreants from entering the trail and somehow
harming their property They also claim that Local Feeder Trails are private and that,
therefore, they are free to construct gates across the trail All of the trails within the
tract, other than the easterly most trail traversing Fryans' property, are open or have
step-throughs installed. Staff has inspected the site on multiple occasions over the
past several months and has never found any evidence of trail vandalism,
trespassing, graffiti, or any other supposed problems claimed by the applicant. The
trails have been consistently maintained in a pristine condition. This has continued to
be the case even for the trail traversing the Fryans' property after they eliminated half
of their illegally installed gate to conform to City regwrements. According to Police
records, there have been seven calls for service in the past six months within the
Belmont Equestrian Estates. All seven calls were false alarms from a single
residence.
The applicant is correct to a degree in that Local Feeder Trails are private property
as opposed to public. However, there are speafic trail easements that are recorded
over the land to allow for unimpeded, continuous access to the trails for the purpose
of accessing rear yards where horses are kept and to allow all owners within the tract
to access the pubic Community Trail system It appears that the homeowners within
the tract deny the existence or validity of these easements. All property ownership is
simply a bundle of property rights, and the Local Feeder Trail easements are part of
that bundle that apply to all owners within a tract, they are not exclusive to the
individual properties that they traverse.
The applicant claims that the easement over their property is not a Local Feeder Trail
because the City has violated the Murnapal Code by building a drive approach
across the trail As shown in Exhibit °K,° the drroe approach has been installed
within the public right-of-way, not the private trail. This is required per Condition 11 b
of Tract 15915 The applicant is apparently referencing Development Code Section
17 OS 080.6.4, regarding prohibition of construction of structures within or across
trails (Exhibit "G°). This does not pertain to drive approaches in the public
right-of-way, but to those constructed within trails by private property owners to
ensure safe passage of horses

While not included in the requested modification to Belmont Equestrian Estates Tract
CC&R's, the request for gating Local Feeder Trails will regwre an amendment to
Development Code Section 17 OS 070G-4, which states, °construction of any
structure within or across the trail easement, including walls and fences, gates,
planters, sidewalks, drive approaches, or similar structure, or installation of any
vegetation, irrigation system, device, or obstacles of any kind are prohibited.° If this
section of the Code were to be amended, it would apply to the entire City, not lust the
Belmont Estates tract The request will also regwre an amendment to the Etiwanda
Specific Plan (within which the subject tract lies) that regwres the implementation of
a °continuous system of...equestnan trails consisting of...privately maintained
Feeder Trads.° The Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan amendments
necessary to accommodate the applicant's request would be contrary to the intent of
the General Plan and Trails Implementation Plan to provide unimpeded, continuous
and convenient access to the Community Trail System Therefore, these documents
would also have to be amended to accommodate the applicant's request.
The request violates the Conditions of Approval for Tract 15915 and assoaated
Development Review 99-01 Therefore, in addition to the Development Code and
Etiwanda Specific Plan amendments mentioned above, the homeowners would have
to process a Condition Modification for the tract and assoaated development review
subject to review by the Planning Commission at a public hearing Staff sees no
Iustifia~tion for amending the Conditions of Approval for the tract related to trail
improvements, as this would conflict with applicable rules as described above and
there is no evidence that any problems exists to be mitigated by such a modification.
The Trails Implementation Plan has a provision for trail abandonment. To abandon a
trail within a tract, 100 percent of the homeowners within the tract must approve. The
Trails Advisory Committee then considers the requested abandonment and a
recommendation is forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration at a
public hearing. If the Planning Commission approves the requested trail
abandonment, the homeowners then must prepare an amended Final Tract Map for
consideration by the City Counal and ultimately recordation. Staff does not support
abandonment of trails within the tract as the Equestrian Overlay District provisions of
the Etiwanda Speafic Plan apply to the site (Exhibit °H°), and there is no fustrfication
for speaal treatment of this tract as opposed to other development subject to the
Equestrian District provisions.
RECOMMENDATIONS• Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the
proposal, keeping m mind that the Belmont Equestrian Estates tract is not an isolated
island of development It fits into the overall community, including the elaborate
Community and Regional trail system that is a key component of the heritage of
Rancho Cucamonga and enjoyed by many thousands of residents The requested
gating off of Local Trails regwres modifications to overall City regwrements that
would apply atywide, thereby, undermining years of consistent effort at creating the
trails network. Even if the tract could be treated individually to quell the
homeowner's concerns, this would set a precedent that could be used by others m
the community to argue for additional horse trail gating, again undermining the
community-wide trail system There arady provisions m the regulations that
TRAILS AGENDA
TT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES
February 13, 2002
Page 4
allow for gating off of trails so long as astep-though ~s provided to allow urnmpeded
equestrian access. This has proven to be a reasonable and safe method for
securing vehicle control of Local Feeder Trails throughout the City's history. Finally,
there is no evidence to validate any of the secuniy concerns raised by the applicant.
Therefore, staff is unable to discern any value either to the Belmont Equestrian
Estates or the City at large to gating off Local Feeder Trails.

Dear Mr. Buller:
As requested, I am sending to you the demand in writing in order to be placed
on the Trails Advisory Committee agenda on February 13,2002.
We, the residents of the Belmont Equestrian Estates, are requesting the
right to be able to erect across the openings of our "private equestrian
accesses" as stated in our land title, full height private gated fences.
We would like to do this by amending the CC&R's for tract 15915 in the city
of Rancho Cucamonga, county of San Benyadino, Ca.
Thank you again for assisting us in our efforts.
Sincerely,
Brynda Fryan

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
JAN 16 2002
RECEIVED -PLANNING
Mr. Mayor and council,
My name is Brynda Fryan and I reside at 7055 Isle Ct. Rancho
Cucamonga. I am representing myself and the majority of the Belmont estates
homeowners. The issue we are addressing is the right to erect fences across
our private equestrian access. I live in lot 32 and have already, with the
permission of Doug Norton the housing superintendent, put gates up. I was
sited by a municipal code stating that
Construction of any structure within or across the trail easement,
including walls and fences, gates, planters, sidewalks, drive
approaches, or similar structures, etc. are prohibited. (RCf1AC
1 T.08.070GA)
First, let me point out that this private access is not a 'local feeder trail.' If it
were a feeder trail then the city would already be in violation of the municipal
code due to the drive approach in front of every access. However, ff you read
our CC&R they clearly state that
Safd easement is for private equestrian purposes
No where does it refer to the easement as a community feeder trail. Therefore,
one can only denote from the action taken by code enforcement that they are
trying to enforce a municipal code on a private access thus changing said
access to a public access. I also feel that by allowing the city to use my land it
would eventually change my easement from private to prescriptive and thus
causing adverse possession of my land.
I would only be willing to let the city take over this easement if they are willing to
take on the liability, maintenance, and taxes that I am now required to abide by.
That would require the city to buy the property and reassess the access as a
feeder trail instead of a private equestrian access.
Knowing full well that the city would not be willing to do this, 1 feel that ft is within
my rights as a private homeowner to fence and or gate said properties in order
to protect and secure our families and properties.
Therefore, all I am asking for tonight is to be placed on the agenda so that
myself and all parties of this action will be in attendance.

RE: My clients: Brenda & Bob Fryan
Dear Ms. Blaylock:
As you lmow from our meeting on October 30, 2001, I represent Bob & Brenda Fryan with regard
to their dispute with the City of Rancho Cucamonga concenvng the easement referenced in your
of October 16, 2001.
By your letter of October 16, 2001, and the statements made at the aforementioned meeting, you
have threatened criminal action against Mr. & Mrs. Fryan unless they remove what you describe
in your letterof October 16, 2001, as a "structure" which you claim is, "across a trail easement" and
constitutes a "unsafe and/or non passable obstruction" on their property: 7055 Isle Court.
At the meeting of October 30, 2001, you agreed to a thirty day extension before initiating any
criminal action. Since that time, Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have tried to work with the City to reach a
reasonable compromise regarding this dispute. However, the City has refiLSed to even allow Mr. &
Mrs. Fryan to even appear before the City Council regarding this matter. Since an informal
resolution does not appear possible at this juncture, Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have taken down the
"structure" (gate) on their property at 7055 Isle Court under protest and witt- a reservation
of all rights.
Mr. & Mrs. Fryan dispute the action of the City and contend that the City is violating their rights.
As you lmow from our meeting on October 30'", no one in the Belmont neighborhood own horses;
there aze no barns, horse corals• and the residences Lire all landscaped. Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have

previously submitted a Petition to the City by the residents of the Belmont neighborhood clearly
expressing their opposition to the actions of the City.
All of the Title documents to the Fryan property cleazly indicate that the easement in question is a
np vate easement, not a public easement. The Belmont neighborhood is ~ a gated community.
Therefore, the action of the City constitutes a conversion of the easement from a private easement
to a public easement. By forcing the Fryans and others in the neighborhood to take down their gates,
the City is converting the easement to a public easement for use by anyone. Yet, the City has not
agreed to be responsible for maintenance of the easement or assume liability for any damage to the
property of the residents. It is our position that during the pendency of this dispute and until a Snal
resolution, the City is responsible for maintenance of the easement and is also responsible for any
personal injury or property damage resulting from access to the easement by the public at large.

SUB.IECT: Bob and Brynda Fyran Horse Trail Gate Issue Chronology
Spring 2001- Bob and Brynda Fryan install a wrought iron gate across the opening to the
private equestrian trail traversing the rear of their lot at the northeast comer of Lot 32 of
Trail 15915 (7055 Isle Court). The gate has a lock mechanism but has been unlocked on
the occasions staff has tried it. Soon thereafter, Woodside Homes installs several similar
wrought iron gates across the entrances to private equestrian trails within the tract at the
request of homeowners. Evidently, the homeowners were concerned that wdhout the gates
there would be insufficient security and the general public and potential miscreants would
• use the private trails that go across their rear yards.
April 2, 2001 -Code Enforcement notes Bob and Brynda Fryan that the gate they've
installed violates Code Section 17.08.070 (G).
May 3, 2001 -The Fryan's come to the Planning counter and talk with Brent Le Count who
explains that while their trail is private it is an easement over their property for the enjoyment
of all property owners within the trail. He reminds the Fyrans that they own a home within
an equestrian community and that they are required to allow unimpeded access to
equestrians. He provides them with a step thru detail.
May 7, 2001 -Bob Fryan tells Code Enforcement that he will not remove or modify his gate,
that he and the City will have to agree to disagree and that he'll see us in court
May 22, 2001 -Staff notes Woodside Homes In writing that the gates will have to be
removed or mod~ed to allow step thru provisions.
June 6, 2001 -Brynda Fryan speaks before the City Council on the issue. Brad Buller is
directed by Council to work with the Fryans to resolve the matter.
June 7, 2001 -Planning staff nofrfy Code Enforcement to put the case on hold until further
notice and that Planning will work with Fryans to resolve the matter.

Bob and Brynda Fyran Horse Trail Gate Issue Chronology
July 12, 2001 -Brad Buller meets with homeowners within the Belmont Estates Trail at Bob
and Brynda Fryan's home to discuss the horse trail gating matter. Brad explains the City
regwrement for unmpeded access to horse trails, that while the trials are private they are
meant to be used by every homeowner in the trail, and that to his knowledge there has
been only one court case challenging the existence and function of privatehorse trails in the
City and k was fumed down. Brad suggests a compromise in which the gates remain in
place but a 42-inch wide, 14-inch high step thru/over is cut into each gate to allow
unimpeded access to the trails by equestrian users. Brad tells the homeowners they can
also install "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" signs on the gates.
July 19, 2001 -Woodside Homes refuses to install the gate step thrus and states they will
either leave the gates in place or tear them out. Staff has Woodside remove the gates but
requests that they make provisions for homeowners to keep the gates in case they wish to
modify them and re-install them later on.
July 24, 2001 -Woodside Homes removes all of the gates from private horse trails with the
exception of the gate installed by Fryan and the gates along the south trail boundary
separating the trails from the abandoned railroad right of way. David and Angela Lowhee
modify two gates wffh step thrus (those on the east and west ends of the northern most
private trail) and re-install them consistent with staff direction. Staff discusses the matter with
Bob Fryan, he requests that we wait one month to see how things work out with the modified
Lowhee gate. .
August 22, 2001- Staff contacts Angela Lowhee to see H the step-over has led to arty
problems, and axording to Angela k had not. Bob and Brynda Fryan are unavailable to
discuss the matter but staff talks with Bob Fryan Jr. who states they are adamant about
keeping the gate installed as is regardless of Lowee's experience.
September 4, 2001 - Mr. Fryan said that he is not ready to make a deasion until school
starts. He wants to wait unt11 the end of September to see if school kids cause problems
wRh Lowhee's trail. Staff agrees to contact Mr. Fryan at the end of September.
October 1, 2001- Bob Fryan states that he does not intend to remove or modify his gate in
any way, that there is graffiti on other trail fences in the trail, that he had found 45 empty
beer cans piled up on one trail, and that several linear feet of trail fencing had been removed
by Junior High School kids on another trail. Staff visited the site within an hour of the
discussion wdh Mr. Fryan and found all of the trails to be in pristine condition with the
exception of one private trail that had a pile of lumber in ft related to construction of a home
remodel in the trail. Staff contacted David Lowhee who stated that there have been no
problems with the trail and gate step thN, even with school in session.
Early October 2001 -Staff notifies Code Enforcement that Fryan has refused to cooperate
with staffs request for gate modification and that the Code Enforcement process should
proceed.
October 30, 2001 -The matter is brought before the City Prosecutor. It is agreed that the
Fryans take one month so see if they can convince the City Council to change the code
requirements related to horse trail access.

17 nA-43 3/01
Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090
Proper grading techniques that are sensitive to natural conditions must be utilized for
reasons of public safety, maintenance, aesthetics, and environmental protection. The
following guidelines are suggested.
a. Minimze the amount of site grading needed for development and utility
consWction through proper sde planning.
b. Grade land and landscape in workable increments to avoid exposing vast
expanses of bared earth at any given time to minimize sod erosion.
c. Development in the foothills should relate to the slope in order to preserve the
integrity of the hillside and minimize disruption of natural ground form. Adapt all
structures in such areas to natural ground form through the use of split pads, built-
up foundations, stepped footings, stem walls, etc.
d. In hillside areas, development to be designed to preserve open spaces, prated
natural features, and offer views to residents.
e. Roadway alignments and gradients to be designed and located to avoid excessive
grading and to reflect the existing land forms.
L Round off and contour all graded slopes to blend in with the existing terrain and
present a more natural appearance.
g. Establish proper soil management techniques to reduce the adverse effects (i.e.,
erosion) of grading.
h. Provide driveways with a maximum slope of 15 percent.
i. Provide an 18-foot area in front of the garage that does not exceed 5 percent
j. Minimze slopes between lots to preserve pnvacy. Where slopes cannot be
minimized, mitigate concerns through other means, I.e., landscaping, fenGng, etc.
k. Minimize disruption of existing natural features, such as trees and other significant
vegetation, natural ground forms, rock outcroppings, water, and views.
I. Undulate berms to screen parking areas.
10. Fire Safetv. Development should be designed in accordance with Fire District
requirements for two points of safe and ready access. Areas designated as high fire
hazard areas should minimze fuel buildup around residences through greenbelts or
cultivated fuel breaks.
11. Transition of Density. The site plan should consider compatibility with surrounding
neighborhoods through providing proper transition of density, particularly on infill sites
adjacent to lower densities. Comparable densities, open space buffer zones, increased
setbacks, and architectural compatibility are encouraged along common boundaries to
provide proper transition of density. Clustenng units can prowde large open space areas .
as a buffer.
12~ Trails. The City of Rancho Cucamonga places significant emphasis on the development
~~ of regional, community, and local feeder trails. The General Plan establishes a trail
system to provide an interconnected neyyork of trails linking to parks, shopping, and
17.08-50 ~~ 6/99
Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090
employment centers with residential areas. To this end, the following gwdelmes should
be considered:
a. All new developments are to be designed in accordance with the Master Plan of
Trails and adopted trail standards.
b. Maintain tra11s on natural surtaces p.e., no grading) and locate along natural
features whenever possible.
c. Considerexisbngbicyclmg,pedesVian,andequesVianaccessandtraditionaltrevel
routes through the property, particularly routes to schools.
d. Wdhin the Equestrian/Rural Area, provide trail connections through easements in
order to conned disconnected Veils and for needed access to reueation activities.
e. Provide local feeder Vans on the rear of residential lots for equestrian access and
related equesVian service access within the Equestnan/Rurel Area.
_ f. Provide a means of public access to regional trails wdhin subdivisions.
g. Wdhin subdrvlsions, provide an mtemal loop trail system of local feeder trells.
h. Plot houses to provide reasonable rear yard opportunity for the keeping of horses
and other animals wdhln the Equestrtan/Rurel Area.
i. Provide a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area in the rear yard of all residential lots within
the Equesfrian/Rurel Area.
J. Grade access from the corral area to the trail with a maximum slope of 5:1 and a
minimum width of 10 feet.
13. Street Design. Vary street pattern to reduce sVeetscepe monotony. Curvilinear streets,
cul~e-sacs, front yard landscaping, and single-loaded sVeets are encouraged to provide
streetsgpe variety and visual interest, particularty in the Low-Medium District
14. House Plotting. Clustering houses around common space, zero lot line, reverse plotting,
angling house to the street, and side entry garages may be permitted ff they provide
sVeetscepe variety and visual interest, particularly in the Low-Medium District
15. Multi-Family Develooment. Well thought-out site planning is crucial in the development
of successful projects In addition to other standards outlined in the Development Code,
the following should be considered:
a. Relate the location of site uses with adjoining properties to avoid possible conflicts
and take advantage of mutual potentials.
b. Consider sharing curb cuts with adjoining properties.
c. Buildings which are skewed m relationship to each other can ueate a variety of
view orientations and streetscape interests.
. d. Provide adequate common open space, including recreational facilities, tot lots, and
large open lawn areas. ~~ I

II. OLD BUSINESS
A. TRACT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES -A request by Brynda Fryan as a
representative of the Belmont Equestrian Estates to amend the CC&Rs for Tract 15915
to allow full height private gates across local feeder trails at the intersection with public
streets. APN: 1089-081-01 through 14, and 1089-071-01 through 22. (Continued to
February 27, 2002).
ACTION: The Committee views the issues raised by the residents of Tract 15915
as a crime prevention problem, not a traiUgating problem. If the claims made by
the residents, including children stealing construction materials from the
backyard of a home enclosed by a 6-foot masonry wall are true, it is unclear how
installation of 6-foot high wrought iron gates across trail entrances will impact
crime, vandalism, or trespassing. The more appropriate solution to the problem is
to utilize Police services, including the Neighborhood Watch Program. The
Committee recommends that the CC&R's for Tract 15915 not be amended and that
any gates installed within the tract shall meet the current gate with step-thru
design per Standard Drawing 1006-C.
III. ADJOURNMENT
Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

The collective owners of these properties purchased from EB 13 2002
Belmont Equestrian Estates petition the right to keep the ~e~i~b _ p~gNNING
their private trails. These gates ensure security against potential
perpetrators, including those who would vandalize the trails and/or
dump trash. These fences provide safety for others and peace of
mind for the homeowners.

Staff Report
DATE March 27, 2002
TO• Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY. Dan Coleman, Pnncipal Planner
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF SUBAREA 18 SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT -
CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A request to Initiate an amendment to allow
Public Storage as a permitted use within Planning Area VIII of the Empire Lakes
protect.
. BACKGROUND: The Subarea 18 Specific Plan, commonly known as Empire Lakes, defines the
development concept for amixed-use protect and applicable development regulations. The
centerpiece of the 378-acre development is the Empire Lakes championship 18-hole golf
course There are 11 planning areas surrounding the golf course. Planning Area VIII is 21 acres
located at the southwest corner of Milliken Avenue and 6th Street (Exhibit "E°).
ANALYSIS The purpose of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan Is to "provide for a broad mix of uses,
including recreation, hotel/conference center, retail, restaurant, and entertainment, as well as
office, research and development, Ilght industrial uses, and multiple family housing.° Therefore,
this Specific Plan Is designed to be flexible and many different land uses are permitted or
conditionally permitted (Exhibit °C°). The list of permitted uses within Planning Area VIII
includes, but is not limited to, Custom and Light Manufacturing, Light
Wholesale/Storage/Distribution, Office, Restaurants and a variety of business support uses.
Conditionally permitted uses include, Medium Wholesale/Storage/Distribution, Churches, Child
Care, Fast Food Restaurants, and Automotive Service Station.
Public Storage is similar to Light Wholesale/Storage/Distribution The applicant believes there Is
a strong market for public storage in the area In particular, there are over 1,000 luxury
apartments under construction within Empire Lakes that would benefit from having public
storage nearby. Surrounding businesses would also benefit from storage opportunities. Public
storage facilities are commonly located within the City's industrial area, between Foothill
Boulevard and 4th Street
CORRESPONDENCE Staff received a letter of support from a developer, Fairfield Residential
LLC, who is under construction on two apartment protects next to the Empire Lakes golf course
(Exhibit °B").

Re Subarea 18 Specific Plan Amendment Request -Planning Area 8 -
Public Storage
Dear Dan
This is as a follow-up to our meeting with you earlier this week at your office
concerning the referenced matter on behalf of our clients, General Dynamics
Properties and Creative Communities This correspondence is to request that
the Planning Commission initiate and amendment to the Subarea 18 Specific
Plan to allow Public Storage as a Permitted Use within Planning Area 8 of the
Empire Lakes Specific Plan It is our understanding that this matter will be
scheduled for the March 27, 2002 Planning Commission Meeting.
As you are well aware, the Empire Lakes Center is amaster-planned mixed-use
development comprised of various industrial, office and residential protects
surrounding the Empire Lakes Golf Course Discussion with a number of our
developers and clients has determined that there is a need to provide their
customers and residents with convenient public storage opportunities that are not
currently available within their respective office and residential protects. Our
experience has been that Public Storage is very compatible with adtacent
business and property owners and is a low impact land use due to the limited
hours of operation normally associated with this type of business.
We appreciate your continuing professional courtesy and assistance with this
matter on behalf of our clients. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest
opportunity should you have any questions or need of additional information
conceming this matter.
Sincerely,
Charles J Buquet
