Parking Calculations• Number Number Type Square Parking of Spaces of Spaces of Use Foota a Ratio Reguved Provided Preschool 10,208 1 per staff member 24 61 1 per 5 children 37 ANALYSIS A General: The project site is vacant and is surrounded by residential development to the south and west, vacant land (future Central Park) to the north across Base Line Road, and Texaco/Del Taco to the east A reciprocal access agreemeTheaproeosedrooneesto alloe shared access with the gas station/food mart property. P rY P school building's entrance is located on the south side of the bulling. A playground will be located on the north and west side of the bulling and wll contain various types of egwpment for toddlers and preschool age children. The playground wll be surrounded by a 6-foot block wall to the north and west and a 6-foot wrought iron fence with plasters on the east side of the bwldmg. Three shade canopies will be provided above the picrnc tables in the playground area. The parking lot wll be fully landscaped and wll contain 61 parking spaces located south and east of the bwldmg, plus an additional 27 spaces to the east that will ultimately serve the final bulling pad. Exterior bulling materials include cement plaster finish walls, mission file roof, horizontal reveal lines, painted inset panels, ceramic file wainscot, and aluminum fixed glass windows and doors. The interior of the bulling wll be comprised of a reception area, a pantry, and eleven classrooms. All parking lot lights and glare associated with operations and illuminated signs shall be shielded or directed so as not to illuminate adjacent residences or cause glare to motorists. B Land Use Compatibility The premise of a Conditional Use Permit is to ensure the compatibltty of adjacent uses and the separation of potential nuisance activities. The applicant is proposing that the preschool be open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m to 6 30 p.m The site is surrounded by vacant land to the north across Base Lme Road, a gas station food/mart to the east, and two-story condominwms to the south and west. There should be minimal noise impact on these residents because the playground area on the west side of the site wll be separated from the condominwms by a 6-foot block wall. In addition, a row of Brisbane Box trees exists on the south and west property lines that will help screen the school from the residences. Of these trees, 28 wll be removed during construction and wll be replaced prior to the issuance of occupancy. A neighborhood meeting was conducted by the applicant with the homeowners association on October 23, 2001 The residents were informed about the project and did not express any objections to the proposal A noise study was prepared to determine the impact of traffic noise from Base Line Road on the day care center. The study concluded that there wll not be a significant impact on the facility subject to the implementation of the mitigation measures listed in the attached conditions of approval.

Comments: a-d) The protect site is located on the south side of Base Lme Road approximately 260 feet west of Milliken Avenue within an area designated as Office Park Distract The purpose of the designation is to encourage the concentration of office uses near centers of commercal activity within the City, and to discourage the building of individual, isolated office bwldmgs. The designation is not strictly office buildings. Within the Office Park Distract other business support services such as banks and real estate services are allowed by Conditional Use Permit (CUP) The applicant has proposed the construction/operation of a 10,208 square-foot single story daycare testify.

Comments• a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. The development of the site includes construction/operation of a 10,208 square-foot daycare center with play areas, parking and landscaping. The daycare facility will employ 24 employees including a director, assistant director, teachers, food service personnel and tanitors. The additional employees would likely be hired from the local area The City's current housing stock could adequately provide for the small housing market demand provided by this protect. Likewise, employees may also already live in adtacent communities like Fontana or Ontario as well. c) The proposed daycare facility will be constructed on a vacant 1.8-acre lot designated Office Park. Existing development surrounds the site and includes Medium Density residential to the west, Base Line Avenue to the north followed by proposed recreational development, a Texaco gas station to the east followed by Milliken Avenue, and residential development to the south. There are no existing residential units that will be removed to accommodate the protect. Therefore the proposed protect will not impact existing residences. ~.J Potemially Issues and Supporting Information Sources• a9^"'~"' Inpecl Less PMentlelly Unless Then Si9mhcenl Mitlpetlon SI9ni9rant No I eel Inco relad I ect I eM 3.

O O O (~) i) Unique geologic or physical features? () () () (~) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes less than one mile northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately three miles north of the site The magnitude of the maximum probable event along these faults is estimated at moment magnitude (My,) 6.0 - 7 0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7 5 earthquakes is 11 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to My, 8.2 earthquakes, is 13 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Like other existing development projects in the vicinity, adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The project site is not located near a body of water The nearest Flood Control facilities are the Church Street Basin and the Day Creek Channel located approximately one-mile southwest and northeast of the site, respectively. Given the distance and confinement of these ephemeral water bodies, the proposed protect will not expose people or structures to any potential impacts Additionally, the site is not within a 100-year flood plain as shown on Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan. e) The site is relatively flat and is located in a developed area along Base Line Road The site is not susceptible to landslides or mudflows. f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the protect for a level building pad. Grading will be done in accordance with a grading plan approved by the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant as the site is relatively flat with minimal grading required. g-h) Soil type at the site and in the vicinity is Tutunga gravelly loamy sand (TvC). The Tutunga series consists of somewhat excessively drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils that formed on alluvial fans in granitic alluvium. Soils are present at slopes of 0 to 9 percent in elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 feet. These soils are rapidly permeable. Runoff is slow to very slow and the hazard of water erosion is slight. The City's General Plan indicates that most soil types in the City are very adaptable to land development and are not of an expansive nature. The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

The program generates emissions estimates for land use development protects. The criteria pollutants screened for included. reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM,o). Two of these, ROG and NO^, are ozone precursors Though not required, construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1). The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 6"' edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model The default fleet mix was modified to increase the number of passenger vehicles and decrease the number of medium/heavy duty diesel trucks. Additionally, vehicle variable starts were modified to reflect the drop off/pick up nature of a daycare facility. A matority of engine starts will be made within 5 to 20 minutes of being turned off. (Note vehicles that are at rest for twenty minutes or less remain warm and produce less emissions then vehicles that have been at rest for several hours (the difference between hot and cold starts]) The protect construction and operational emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance (Table 2). However, since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o) mitigation measures will be used to minimize the protect contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants. Generally, construction of a protect this size will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for PM,o and NOX during grading activities, nor SCAQMD thresholds for developed conditions (operational impacts) for NO^. Table 1 shows protect impacts before and after mitigation measures have been implemented. During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated Since the state is in non-attainment for PM,o, and since there are sensitive receptors (existing residential development) west and south of the site, fugitive dust will be mitigated by the following measures: Aaa Initial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 8 1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~a emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2. Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~a emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWOCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~o emissions.

The property does not occur within the Ontario Recovery Unit for the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly as indicated in Figure 6 of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the species. The site is rough graded and disked annually to controls weeds, and is surrounded by existing development including Base Line Road to the north, residential development to the west and south and commercial development to the east. Based on surrounding development and the disturbed nature of the site, it is unlikely that endangered or rare species would move on to the site. b-c) Existing pine and Brisbane Box trees occur along the western and southern property lines. These trees have been incorporated into the proposed landscape plan and are scheduled to remain The site is primarily characterized as a vacant lot dominated by plant species consistent with regular human disturbance Very little vegetation is present onsite as it had been recently disked. Identifiable species include non-native ripgut grass and mustard. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) Existing development surrounds the site and includes residential development to the west and south, Base Line Road to the north and commercial development to the east.

Will the proposal result tn: a) Increases in existing noise levels () () (/) ( ) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? () (/) () ( ) Comments• a-b) The protect would increase existing noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the development would add people and traffic to the area. Noise will be consistent with existing levels, which includes traffic noise from Base Line Road and the existing convenience store/gas station east of the site. The proposed daycare facility will act as a noise barrier for residences west of the site, as it will decrease noise levels from the convenience store/gas station. The mator noise generated at the site will be from visitors dropping off/picking up children. Outdoor playground noise will be minimal and will occur for brief periods of time during daytime hours. The proposed daycare facility will generate noise levels consistent with levels protected for the site, which is designated Office Park of the Terra Vista Community Plan. Therefore, noise from the site is not considered significant. A Noise Assessment was prepared by Wieland Associates to evaluate traffic noise impacts on the proposed daycare facility. The following is a summary of findings and conclusions within the report A2~b Initial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 14 Environmental noise levels typically fluctuate over time, and different types of noise descriptors are used to account for this variability. The most useful noise descriptors measure time-averaged noise levels representing various times of the day as sensitvity to noise increases/decreases (sensitivity to noise increases during evening and night-time hours) The following are definitions of the terminology commonly used to describe noise and noise related impacts. Decibel, d6 - A unit of level that denotes the ratio between two quantities that are proportional to power, the number of deabels is tens times the logarithum (to the base ten) of this ratio. dBA (A-Weighted Sound Pressure Level) -The sound pressure level, m deabels, as measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighting filter network The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequency component of the south, placing greater emphasis on those frequencies within the sensitivity range of the human ear The most common sounds vary between 40 dBA (very quiet) to 100 dBA (very load). Normal conversation at three feet is roughly at 60 dBA, while loud let engine noises equate to 110 dBA. CNEL (Commurnty Noise Equivalent Level) -The average equvalent A-weighted • sound level during a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of approximately five deabels to sound levels in the evening from 7.00 p m. to 10:00 p.m. and ten decibels to sound levels m the night before 7.00 a m. and after 10.00 p m. Daytime Average Sound Level (Leg12) -The time-averaged A-weighted sound level measured between the hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The proposed protect consists of a daycare facility to be located on a vacant lot on the south side of Base Line Road As an education faality, the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department considers the protect anoise-sensitive land use. As such the City regwres that the community noise equivalent level (CNEL) does not exceed 65 dB at the exterior habitable areas (playgrounds), and that the interior noise exposure level must be reduced to a CNEL of 45 d6 or less within any classroom. The CNEL standard imposed on the protect by the City is a measure of average 24- hour noise exposure. Since the proposed daycare center is not open 24-hours, it is recommended that the City consider an average daytime noise level standard for the protect, denoted Leq (12) This standard will protect the children and staff during the actual hours when the protect is being used. The noise consultant has recommended that the design of the protect include mitigating the Leq (12) to 65 dB(A) or less in the outdoor play area, and 45 d6(A) or less in the interior habitable spaces The protect site is exposed to traffic noise from both Base Line Road and Milliken Avenue The level of traffic is expected to change dramatically over the next 20 years, increasing on Milliken and decreasing on Base Lme as a result of completion of the new I-210 freeway (formerly State Route 30) Based on traffic data provided by the City the following traffic noise exposure levels were estimated: ~~ Irntial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 15 Location Noise Level with Noise Level with Future Existing Conditions, Conditions, Leq(12) Le 12 Playground nearest Base 64 - 66 dB(A)` 62.5 - 64 5 d6(A)` Line Road Southern Pla round 62 dB A 66.5 d6 A East Bwldin Fa ade 63 dB A 67 5 d6 A Northern Buildin Facade 64 dB A 62.5 dB A _~~ 'Noise Levels take inro account me mniyaiwn umi ww ua Nwv~u~u ..y .~,~ ~~.. ~.,.,• ,.,y„ •~~~~ included in the project's design adjacent to Base Line Road As stated future traffic noise may nse or fall due to changes in traffic flow The impact of this noise on the project should be assessed based on the worst-case levels (existing or future). The estimated level of 66 dB(A) at the playground adjacent to Base Line Road exceeds the recommended maximum level of 65 d6(A); therefore, noise barriers providing at least one d6 of reduction will be regwred at this location Maximum levels of 66 5 dB(A) at the southern playground will regwre noise barriers providing a minimum of 1 5 dB reduction. Noise levels of up to 65.5 d6(A) are estimated at the exterior facades of the daycare facility; therefore the design of this building will have to provide up to 22.5 d6 of noise reduction in order to comply with the recommended interior Leq(12) of 45 dB(A) To ensure compliance with City recommended exterior and interior noise requirements, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented• Exterior Noise Measures 8. Noise barriers shall be constructed along two sides of the northern playground and two sides of the southern playground. Barrier heights are relative to the playground elevation immediately adjacent to the base of the barrier. However, on the northern side of the site, near Baseline Road, noise barriers should be a minimum of six feet high. On the southern side of the site near the parking lot, noise barriers should be a minimum of five feet high. All barriers should be constructed of a material that is impervious to noise (e.g., concrete block, stucco-on-wood, tempered glass with a minimum density of four pounds per square foot, earthen berm, or any combination of these materials), and should be continuous structures without gaps. A'~ Initial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 16 9. Where gates are required in the barriers, they should be of one-inch thick wood-on-wood construction with an automatic closing mechanism to ensure gates remain closed when not in use. Soft rubber seals should be used on all vertical edges of the gates to form a continuous airtight seal with adjacent barriers sections or gates when closed. Gates should be the same height as the barriers in which they are placed. Great care should be taken in the construction of the gates to ensure as small a gap as possible between the bottom of the gate and the ground. Interior Noise Measures 10. All window assemblies used through the project should be well fitted and well weather-stripped assemblies. For the north and east building facades, the windows should also be sound-rated assemblies that provide a minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 30. The windows used in the analysis are Milgard Series 5285DH double hung windows. If assemblies other then these are desired, then their sound transmission loss test reports should be assessed by a qualified acoustical consultant to verity compliance with the recommended level of 45 dB(A). 11. All entry doors from exterior spaces to habitable areas should be well weather-stripped. Solid-core assemblies should be at least 1'/, inch thick. For the north and east building facades, glazed door assemblies should be sound-rated assemblies that provide a minimum STC of 32. The glazed assemblies used in the analysis are Milgard 3621 series French doors. If assemblies other than these are desired, then their sound transmission loss test reports should be assessed by a qualified acoustical consultant to verity compliance with the recommended level of 45 dB(A). 12. The recommended interior noise standard is to be met with window and doors closed. Therefore, ventilation is needed per the Uniform Building Code standards in order to provide a habitable environment with windows closed. 13. Exterior walls should be constructed with gypsum wallboard interior, 7/8-inch stucco exterior, with minimum R-11 insulation between the studs. All joints should be well fitted and/or caulked to form an airtight seal. 14. Other than doors and windows, there should be no openings (e.g., mail slots, vents, etc.) in the exterior walls facing Base Line Road or Milliken Avenue. 15. The roof system should have minimum'/z -inch thick plywood sheathing that is well sealed to form a continuous barrier to the traffic noise. A'~~ Initial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 16. Interior sound absorption in spaces with exterior windows or doors should be accomplished as follows: • Interior walls should be covered with a layer of minimum Y/z -inch drywall. • Ceiling should consist of suspended acoustical tiles having a minimum noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of 0.75. The tiles should not be painted. Construction related short-term noise levels could be higher than existing ambient noise levels m the protect area, but will cease once construction of the protect is completed Residences occur near the western and southern project boundaries The following measures, as required by the City's Development Code, will reduce short-term construction related noise impacts associated with the proposed protect to a less than significant level: 17. During all project site excavation and grading onsite, the project contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers' standards. 18. The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors adjacent to the project site. 19. The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging In areas that will create the greatest distance between construction related noise sources and noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction. 20. During all project site construction, the construction contractor shall limit all construction related activities to between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. No construction is permitted on Sundays and Government holidays.

The development of the site will include a 10,208 square- foot daycare facility with related play areas, parking and landscaping fronting Base Line Road The daycare facility will have 24 employees including a director, assistant director, teachers, tanitors and food service personnel. The addition of these employees will not increase a demand for additional recreational facllltles as they are likely to be hired from within the City or surrounding communities b) The proposed protect well not affect existing recreational opportunities as the site is zoned Office Park and is located on the south side of Base Line Road approximately 260 feet west of Milliken Avenue The site itself Is not swtable for recreational purposes as it is small (1 8 acres) and Is surrounded by existing residential development to the west and south and commeraal development to the east PoimWally Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~'?n'~ ~ Potentlelly Unless Than S9nihcara MloOatlon Siflnilicant No I C Inro ratsE I I ecl 16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the protect have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the mator periods of California history or prehistory b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals?

The property does not occur within the Ontario Recovery Unit for the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly as indicated in Figure 6 of the U S. Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the species The site is rough grading and disked annually to controls weeds, and is surrounded by existing development including Base Line Road to the north, residential development to the west and south and commercial development to the east. Based on surrounding development and the disturbed nature of the site, it is unlikely that endangered or rare species would move on to the site b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of the protect site However, the short-term impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities and will not exceed established thresholds. The impacts will cease once construction activities are completed Implementation of mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study will ensure that short-term impacts will remain less than significant levels c) The proposed protect is consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan that was recently adopted along with the certification of a Program EIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and sphere of influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however they would not reduce impacts to less than significant levels. As such, the City adopted statements of overriding consideration balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open ,~,3~} Initial Study for DRC 2001-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 space With these findings and statements of overriding consideration, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required d) Development of the 10,208 square-foot daycare facility wdl not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly The initial study identified impacts to air quality and noise as having a potentially sigmficant affect to the environment However, proposed mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to less than significant levels.

The representatives of the Willow Park HOA Board at that meeting were: Judy DeLacy Ben Spolarich May Harris Henry Foreman - President - Treasurer - Secretary - Member-at-Large The only absent Board Member was Pat Maglasang, who was unavailable due to her work schedule. We learned a lot about the proposed KinderCare project and feel they will make °great neighbors." We especially liked the hours of operation. Another benefit that comes from this project is that the remaining undeveloped land will be landscaped and covered with grass. This will make the entire corner look great and will certainly be appreciated by all the Willow Park homeowners who pass that corner daily as they drive to their homes. We will mention the project at our next HOA meeting. The homeowners will be advised that as the project progresses, they will be notified by the City of the appropriate Planning Commission meeting they could attend if they care to learn more or ask any questions. Thank you and your staff for having the Willow Park homeowners' concerns and feelings in mind regarding the proposed KinderCare project.

Related files: Conditional Use Permits 00-38 (Chipotle Grill), and DRC2001-00203 (Fazolis Restaurant) Background: The site is part of Development Review 99-04, a master plan including a 3-story hotel which, was approved by the Plamm~g Commission in March of 1999. This master plan called for a single restaurant within the northeast comer of the site. On February 28, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a modification to this part of the master plan to include two restaurants, Chipotle Grill (already approved) and a fast food dnve-thru restaurant. No specific design was provided for the fast food restaurant regarding archilecture. The request now under consideration is the coffee/food service restaurant with dnve-thru (Starbucks) and retail building (Voice Stream). Note that the master plan modification approved by the Plamm~g Commission on February28, 2001, specified a 2,514 square foot fast food restaurant where Starbucks and Voice Stream are proposing 4,000 square feet. The increased floor area (approximately 1,500 square foot increase) and Site Plan revision will not necessitate additional parking, since the larger retail bwlding space requires less parking (1 parking space per 250 square feet) than a fast food with dnve-thru establishment (1 parking space per 75 square feet). Design Parameters: The site has a frontage on Foothill Boulevard with existing curb and gutter improvements in-place. The frontage of the site is also landscaped. The site has been rough graded and slopes at approximately 3 to 4 percent from north to south. There is an existing driveway spine running north/south and easUwest on the overall master plan site and the Chipotte Grill budding is being constructed to the west. The Happy Wok restaurant lies to the east and the Terra Vista Shopping Center to the north across Foothill Boulevard. Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this protect. The building should incorporate the use of real copper roofing and awning materials. The applicant has submitted a simulated copper painted finish material as an alternative to discuss with the Design Review Committee 2. It appears that the building proposes pop-out treatments (i e., the east elevation tower elements); however, the proposed building footprints do not reflect these pop-outs. Budding pop-outs should pop-out a minimum of 3 feet off of the main budding for shadowing and relief. F ,. ~`~ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2002-00133 -REALTY BANCORP EQUITIES June 4, 2002 Page 2 3. Provide a sidewalk connection from entry plaza to Chipotle restaurant, which uitimately provides pedestrian connection to other nearby buildings. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: All features such as decorative paving, light standards, street furniture, etc., should match the details established by Applebee's Restaurant and Buddies Bistro 2. All roof- and ground-mounted egwpment should be fully screened from public view. 3. The signs indicated on the submitted plans are conceptual only and not a part of this approval. Any signs proposed for this development shall comply with the Sign Ordinance and shall require a separate application and approval by the Planning Diwsion. No awning signs, (as identified on the west and south building elevations), are permitted by the Citys Sign Ordinance. 4. Relocate the existing Eucalyptus trees out of the Foothill Boulevard frontage area and replace with Foothill Boulevard theme trees including Sycamores, Rhus Lancea, and Pine trees. • 5. The protect should incorporate the use of outdoor patio furniture mcludmg, but not limited to, benches, tables, chairs, umbrellas, etc. The patio area should also incorporate landscaping such as planters and boxed trees. Stall Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the protect with incorporation of the identified modifications. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner Kart Coury The Committee recommended approval of the proposed protect subject to all Major and Secondary Issues identified in the staff comments except Major Issue No 1 The Committee would consider a substitute material for real copper roof and awnings if the material proposed is equal or better than the real copper subject to Ciiy Planner rewew and approval. The Committee directed staff that if the City Planner determines that the substitute material is not acceptable, than real copper material shall be required. • 6~~ • RESOLUTION NO 02-57 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2002-00133, A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCTA4,OOO SQUARE FOOT BUILDING FOR RETAIL AND COFFEE/FOOD SERVICE USE WITH DRIVE-THRU ON 13 ACRE OF LAND IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK DISTRICT (SUBAREA 7), LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD BETWEEN ASPEN STREET AND SPRUCE AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF-APN 208-352-90 A Recitals 1 Realty Bancorp Equities filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2002-00133, as descnbed in the title of this Resolution Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subtect Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application " 2 On the 26th day of June 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said heanng on that date. 3 All legal prerequisites pnor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

If changes are warranted, the Commission should direct staff to prepare recommendations for a Sign Ordinance amendment BACKGROUND In March 2001, the Sign Task Force (Alexander, Curatalo, Tolstoy, and Macias) directed staff to hire a sign designer to conduct a survey and assess signs in the City Mr Simon Andrews of Graphic Solutions was the consultant who surveyed and assessed the "state of signs" within the City and provided recommendations to Improve the quality of signs and enforcement of sign regulations The consultant submitted findings and recommendations to the Slgn Task Force, on November 11, 2001 The Sign Task Force Irked the Ideas and the recommendations presented by the consultant and directed staff to forward them to the Planning Commisslon for review. Copies of the November 11, 2001, Sign Task Force report and minutes are attached for reference ANALYSIS Based on the consultant's findings In surveying signs In the Clty, the consultant stated that In general, the sign critena along Foothill Boulevard could be relaxed while the neighborhood commercial distncts should be more restrictive. The following are recommendations with Slgn Task Force comments Signs for Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 The consultant suggested a special sign district be established for Foothill Boulevard to enhance and optimize the commercial corridor of old Route 66 It would Include larger signs, Introduce neon signs, restrict or prohibit cabinet or box signs, and Increase the use of architectural elements for the design features In supporting the signs, with special architectural lighting and color to reinforce the histonc theme of Route 66 Sign Task Force Comment The Sign Task Force agreed that a special sign district should be established for Foothill Boulevard With the recently approved Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan, setting up special sign cntena for businesses along Foothill Boulevard will promote the Route 66 theme. ITEM "C" PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SIGN TASK FORCE June 26, 2002 Page 2 2 Signs for Neighborhood Commercial Distract The consultant suggested several changes for neighborhood commercial districts He suggested that the allowable window signs be reduced from 30 to 15 percent, window neon signs be permitted if part of an approved Uniform Sign Program, and additional decorative and illustrative devices be allowed up to 25 percent of the sign area Sign Task Force Comment The Sign Task Force agreed with the consultant. Staff believes that the suggested sign criteria are feasible and can build the quality of commercial centers 3 Citywide Enforcement of Signs The consultant suggested several ways to improve the compliance of sign codes The consultant suggested allocating more city resources to aggressively enforce sign codes and provide incentives for businesses and shopping center owners/managers to comply with sign codes. He also suggested that fees could be leveed for enforcing the sign codes Sign Task Force Comment The Sign Task Force agreed with the recommendations from the consultant and also recommended that it is as important to have stronger sign criteria for maintenance of signs With respect to enforcement of signs, the Task Force directed staff to work closely with the Code Enforcement Division as well as the City Attorney in preparing proper tools and polices for reinforcement 4 Illustrated Sian Code The consultant suggested the City create an illustrated Sign Code brochure that would simplify and clarify the sign codes Sign Task Force Comment The Sign Task Force agreed RECOMMENDATION Staff believes that the recommendations from the consultant warrant changes to the Sign Ordinance.

He completed the survey and will be presenting his findings and recommendations with pictures at the meeting Attached is a copy of results of his wntten findings and recommendations for your review. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Task Force review the presentation from the consultant and direct staff on proceeding with the consultant's recommendations. Respectfully submitted Br Iler, C Planner BB NF/Ic Attachment. Sign Study by Graphic Solutions ~3 ~~ FlNnrrres Per your direction, Graphic Solutions has performed site studies and evaluations where • the following conditions were noted: 1. Signaige " a) Miztnre of sigla~~e and attention getting devices such as Cluistm~s lights, banners and pennants result in visual clutter. • Liquor store on Foothill Boulevard -bare neon in windows • Sycamore Inn and Carl's Liquor "historic" signs use bare neon, incandescent and Christmas lights. • Use of "Christrnas light" interior and exterior, bare neon and "can" with translncent background and pennants; background of sign illumirtated and lighter than lettering - orates glare. • Cabinet signs above roofline, architectural element with no sign, window signs and bare neon • 99 cents and Skincare: window neon, banners and signs. • Cart's Liquor -neon in window ok but windows filled with graphics. • Theatre -Christmas lights mixed palette of sigrAage and lighting. • I)alia's Pisa -excessive signage and light from storefront Window signs excessive. • Smoke Shop -Neon signs and other signs in window caeates clutter. • Gallery Art -neon, twinkle lights and canopy sign with white backgound not appealing combination. Oppommities for store design and lighting can be utilized for tenants of modest scale. • Castle Liquor -excessive window signs and architectural lighting for Neighborhood Commerical area. b) Sign cabinets with translucent faces create glare and excessive light spr71- • Virginia Dare -good lighting this side, tenant signs could be improved; translucent cans spoil effect of architectural lighting (suggest review lights with pl:m snbrmttal). • Optometrist -cabinet sign with white background window and interior neon create excessive light for neighborhood commercial area c) Some Neighborhood Commerical uses have greater presence than may be neoessazy. • Optomeorist -cabinet sign with white background window and interior neon create excessive light for neighborhood commercial area. • Water Store -too much visible neon in neighborhood commercial center even though it may follow letter of the law. GIIPUI( fOlUilONf. EI/IIOIMEITII 61Af11( DEJ161 2lS2 MAII Si1EET SAI DIE60,(1 12113 ~~ TEl (Alf) Ilf-Il3S FAI (1111 23S-Alit d) General findings - • In and Out and McDonald's are examples of plexi coveted neon which comply but don't make much statement. • Mimi's Cafe -channel letters provide well-proportioned sign to architectural faFade and good use of architectural lighting on roof and canopies. • Brewpub interior neon set back from window is acceptable. Sign seems overly constrained for kind of business along Route 66 historic corridor. 2. Gas Station undercanopy fighting a) Canopies are not illuminated on outside with no ID on canopy. Lighting undercanopy can be baffled to lessen lioQht overspill. This situation is typical on most gas stations in the City. • Union 76 canopy -dark canopy fascia with bright canopy lights. Lights could be baffled to eliminate spill. 3. Architectural lighting a) Architectural lighting either too strong (overpowers sigaage), too weak, or non existent. • Wienerschnitzel and McDonalds -architectural lighting so strong building is the sign (brighter than sign). • Bank of America -uncontrolled /unshielded architectural lights. • Overly restrained signage iri proportion to building. Architectural light sources should be shielded to wash building and avoid glare. • Denny's missed opportunity to light bonding fagade. • 99 Cent Store -interior lighting tbo overpowering, signage minimal, architecture and parking ]ot not well lit • Rite Aid -same comments as 99 Cent store. • Neighborhood Center- economical, but unattractive solution addressing tenant signage and architectural lighting. b) General findings • Men's Warehouse -good example of architectural accent lighting. • Foothill Village -typical neighborhood comttrercial seems mostly compliant. • Mimi's Cafe - channe! letters provide well-proportioned sign to architecnrral fagade and good use of architectural lighting on roof and canopies. • Old Spaghetti Factory reads as excellent balance between exterior arohitectural lighting and interior lighting vistble through windows. • papa John's Pizza -some architectural lighting, bright but not overpowering; interior lighting creates welcoming atmosphere. 4. Site lighting a) Indiscriminate use of "Christmas I bin or bud lights add to visual clutter. • Juice and Java -overuse of "Christmas lights" on interior visible from outside. • Sycamore Inn and Can's Liquor "historic" signs use bare neon, incandescent and "Christmas lights". • Use of "Christmas light" interior and exterior, bare neon and "can" with translucent background and pennants; background of sign illuminated and lighter than lettering. `~ CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA SIGN ORDINANCE R FCOMMENDATIONS I.
