August 2, 1995
Page 6
Councilmember Curatalo asked for Chief Michael°s recommendation and opinion of this matter.
Chief Michael, Fire District, felt the elimination the Ordinance should not occur. He suggested the Ordinance
be looked at by staff, BIA and contractors to come up with something that would be agreeable to everyone
instead of repealing the Ordinance. He did not feel it was cost effective for a builder to wait until there is a
homeowner to decide if they want sprinklers installed or not, that it should be done during the construction of
the home, He stated he would like for staff to work with everyone to get an Ordinance agreeable to all
agencies.
Councilmember Curatalo asked if he felt the Ordinance should be repealed.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated no.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Frank Williams, BIA, stated he respected the Fire Chief and did not want to get into a debate about this
issue. He felt the mandatory requirement should be repealed, but to also come up with incentives for
the homeowner to put the residential fire sprinklers in their homes. He continued by showing a video
of the City of Rialto's Council meeting when they repealed their Residential Fire Sprinkler Ordinance.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked how many degrees a house would have to be to set off the sprinklers.
Mayor Alexander stated about 130 degrees.
John Lyons, 11984 Dorset, stated he is against repealing the Ordinance. He told about a fatal incident
that had occurred many years ago and how residential fire sprinklers would have helped.
John Roberrs, San Bernardino County Fire Marshal, commented on how the fire services staff is here
to protect the residents of the City, and that he did not feel the Ordinance should be repealed.
Bryan Burke of Central Sprinkler presented information on why he felt residential fire sprinklers were
good and that he did not agree with the BIA.
Jane Bradshaw, 6949 Valinda, stated she did not feel the video or the information Mr. Williams
presented was very good. She did not feel the Ordinance should be repealed.
William Eisley, 8448 Jennet, stated he is proud of the City and likes living here. He stated he did not
agree with the BIA and hoped that the Council would not repeal the Ordinance. He did not think the
cost was that significant to add to the cost of a home.
Randy Sampias, fire sprinkler business, asked the Council what would it be gaining to take away the
Ordinance. He felt it was to protect the people and did not think the Ordinance should be repealed.
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, gave background on what the City has done to make the City a safer place.
He stated he supported the Residential Fire Sprinkler Ordinance.
Mike Robbins, 9920 19th Street, asked how much it would cost when there is a fire and emergency
vehicles have to respond to the scene.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated a normal fire response would involve 5 pieces of equipment, plus personnel.
He stated a residential fire sprinkler system would cost a lot less than having firefighters respond to a fire.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
City Council Minutes
August 2, 1995
Page 7
Councilmember Curatalo stated he would not disagree with the Chief and felt he would be compromising safety
of the residents if the Ordinance was repealed.
Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he agrees with many of the points brought up tonight and felt residential fire
sprinklers could prevent deaths. He stated he felt cheated that his house does not have sprinklers, but that he
does have a smoke detector. He stated he questions the value of residential fire sprinklers. He did think they
should be mandatory in commercial buildings. He added he is not against public safety just because he is
against residential fire sprinklers. He felt the cost, no matter how small, does make a difference to a home
buyer. He felt the decision should be left to the home buyer and not to the City Council as to whether or not
to install residential fire sprinklers.
Councilmember Williams stated she has not changed her mind on this issue. She stated she does not think
the Ordinance should have ever been approved. She felt the efforts should go towards the State to change
the codes. She stated any builder can put in residential fire sprinklers and should offer this to the residents if
they want this option.
Councilmember Biane thanked the BIA for their information. He asked if the Fire Chief has residential fire
sprinklers in his home.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated no.
Councilmember Curatalo asked if he could get residential fire sprinklers in his home if he bought again, would
he.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated yes.
Mayor Alexander asked if the level of service would remain the same if the Residential Fire Sprinkler Ordinance
is repealed.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated he felt this would have a negative impact on fire services.
Mayor Alexander asked if the City has been overwhelmed with calls to repeal this Ordinance.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated no.
Mayor Alexander felt it was odd that the City Council was considering this Ordinance when there were basically
two people asking that this be repealed. He did not think the fire personnel should be stretched any thinner.
He stated he does not understand how the BIA can support a measure to retrofit, but would not support keeping
this Ordinance.
Debra J. Adams, City Clerk, read the title of Ordinance No. 434-A.

G1. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM NO. 35 - CAPRI PROPERTIES
- Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a request to amend the Uniform Sign Program to allow a
fourth sign color for minor tenants within an existing shopping center (Country Village), located at the northeast
corner of Base Line Road and Carnelian Street - APN: 202-381-24 through 26, 28, through 33, 35, and 36.
Staff report presented by Scott Murphy, Associate Planner.
The City Council asked various questions of staff about the center and the Sign Ordinance.
Mayor Alexander asked if this is approved, where will the number of colors end.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Susan Lemarque, management company for the center, stated they consider Subway a major tenant.
She hoped the Council would help this business succeed.
Charles Benedict, 8586 Laurel, Fontana, stated his position about the sign colors and how important
they felt it was for the success of their building. They felt that people identified with the colors they
normally have on their signs. He stated he has put the money into the sign already and paid appeal
fees to get this change approved for the colors of his sign.
Mayor Alexander asked if he felt they would experience a reduction in business if they don't get the colors they
want.
Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he felt visibility and being able to identify something by the sign is important.
He felt the City was possibly not responding to help some of these types of problems in the community. He felt
flexibility was in order here.
Larry McNiel, Planning Commission, stated this sign is not a big problem, but that the Ordinance was
developed many yeas ago so that the City does not turn into a "Holt Boulevard". He stated there are
two other Subways in the City that have signs that conform to the sign code and that they are
successful. He stated he did not want Rancho Cucamonga to turn into something that other
communities have turned into where there is no control.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he agreed that Subway is a major operation and that they should be able to
use their regular sign. He agreed with the appellant.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated Subway is not a major tenant.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt Subway was a national operation and supported their appeal and that
they should be able to use their regular sign.
Councilmember Biane stated he agreed with Larry McNiel and felt three colors was enough.
City Council Minutes
August 2, 1995
Page 9
Councilmember Williams felt the City should stick with their guns and not go against the sign ordinance.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt the Subway owner's livelihood is more important than the color of the
sign. He stated he does not understand the City's attitude toward businesses.
Mayor Alexander stated if our sign ordinance needs to be modified then the City should take a long hard look
at it. He added he would stand behind the Planning Commission's decision.
MOTION: Moved by Curatalo, seconded by Gutierrez to uphold the applicant's appeal and stick with the original
colors. Motion failed 2-3 (Williams, Alexander and Biane voted no).
MOTION: Moved byAlexander, seconded by Williams to uphold the Planning Commission's decision. Motion

Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it is a fee they would pay if this action is approved.
Councilmember Williams stated she wants to make sure the City is compensated for this.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the applicant is asking to proceed with the project and will pay a fee to do this.

the City's Market Study is complete. He said this is contradictory to what was previously told to the Council.

He commented that what the City does today will stick for many years to come. He stated he does not
think the City should proceed with this project until the Market Study is complete.

a project for awhile until the study is complete.

Councilmember Curatalo stated he is getting "vibes" that there are preconceived notions as far as not
expanding our commercial zones at this time. He asked if this is the case, why are we allowing the applicant
to proceed with his application.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the applicant has every right to submit this project application under the current
Development Code. He stated once he has a complete application he has two options. One is to come in and
simply ask for Community Commercial under the Foothill Specific Plan, take a land use zoning category and
simply move it onto his property. He added staff suggested that administratively, the easiest way, if that was
to be a commercial piece of property, it would make better sense to amend the Industrial Area Specific Plan
text to keep it within the same context of everything else that is reviewed in that area south of Foothill. He stated
rather than coming in with a zone change, Mr. Wohl came in with a text change. He stated the code
differentiates the two.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council were:
Greg Wohl, Wohl Investment Company, stated he is surprised about the problems they are having.
He stated they want to go ahead with their application.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt it was his job to give a fair handshake to people that approach him.
He stated he felt every business should be treated fairly and welcomed into the City. He stated he did not want
development to stop because of the Study.
Councilmember Williams asked if they were on a time table.
Mr. Wohl stated yes. He stated they have tenants they might lose if they can't go ahead.
Councilmember Williams stated she felt they are being presumptuous in thinking they will get the text change
by going ahead with getting tenants. She stated she wanted it on the record that they are in escrow with some
of their tenants. She stated she felt Mr. Wohl would want to know what the Study says to see who should be
going into their center. She felt Mr. Wohl was pushing the City a little bit.
Mayor Alexander stated he wanted to make sure Mr. Wohl did not think the Council was giving them an
endorsement either for or against their project by going along with the text change idea.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he would accept staffs recommendation of the text change.
Wendy Vallette, 11116 Amarillo, stated she was not sure what was being discussed. She stated what
she heard Councilmember Gutierrez saying was that the General Plan is up for grabs to rezone to
whoever wants to come in.
Councilmember Biane stated he would answer that because he feels as strongly as Councilmember Gutierrez
does. He stated it was a commitment to let the application be heard in front of the Planning CommissiOn. He
stated the Planning Commission could still say no to the project, but to go ahead and hear what the developer
has to say.
Wendy Vallette stated she did not have a problem with that, but that she has a lot of concerns with
exceptions that are being made as she previously heard tonight. She hoped that the Council would
not approve spot zoning when it is looking at amending the General Plan.

Andrew Hall, Manager of the Heritage Best Western Inn, located behind the proposed project of Mr.
Wohl, stated he realizes that this is not an approval of the project, but did think Mr. Wohl was putting
the cart before the horse. He stated he wished that Mr. Wohl had contacted him about the kind of
business he has at the hotel. He stated he has had 23,000 people in the hotel since January 1995.
He felt a restaurant would be a lot more beneficial there.
There being no further response, the public comment section was closed.
MOTION: Moved by Curatalo, seconded by Gutierrez to accept the applicant's request to initiate the text
amendment application. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
Mayor Alexander stated this is not an endorsement to approve the project.

Mr. Muniz stated Marks is not a licensed contractor by the State License Board. He stated he did not
think Marks had adequate quality control. He felt an audit should take place of Marks Cablevision's
work for quality assurance. He continued to complain about the job Marks has done at his home
without his permission. He stated he would be sending Marks a letter suing them naming the City of
Rancho Cucamonga on the complaint. He stated he is asking the City to stop Marks from doing

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
I1. UPDATE BY MARKS CABLE VISION ON STATUS OF CABLE T.V. (Oral Report)
Sean Hogue, General Manager for Marks Cablevision, stated the PEG Channel is up and running and
that they have received positive response from the public. He commended Susan Mickey for her hard
work in this project. He stated they are moving some of the channels around for better organization.
He reported on the complaint summary form. He stated staff has reviewed this and agrees with it.
John Morgan, 9207 Hidden Farm Road, reported that the billing error he had experienced has been
resolved and that his latest bill is correct. He stated he has not had any cable problems. He stated
they still have to pay for many channels that they do not use and did not feel they should have to pay
for them.
Tim Kelly, Marks Cablevision, answered Mr. Morgan's question stating it is done this way for business
reasons. He stated he did not know how it would be set up next year, but would consider Mr. Morgan°s
concern.
12. CONSIDERATION OF ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF AN
AT GRADE/DEPRESSED PROFILE FOR THE PROPOSED ROUTE 30 FREEWAY Staff report presented by
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer.
Gary Cohoe, Caltrans, gave a brief description of the design of the freeway.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated they have worked together with everyone to address the concerns of the
residents and have a plan he hoped everyone would be happy with. He stated both SANBAG and
Caltrans support the principal recommendations regarding the freeway main line vertical profile, and
encouraged the Council to approve these recommendations. He stated this endorsement of the Ad
Hoc Committee's recommendation does not extend, however, for the proposal for the Sapphire
crossing. He stated this proposal alone will add $17,000,000 to the total project cost for the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. He stated they believe the proposal deserves further consideration from both
a cost and design standpoint. He stated an option is under development which has not been previously
reviewed and that there might be others that are not yet identified. He felt this new proposal should
be given further consideration so that everyone can be assured that this or any other option that is
finally adopted truly meets the needs of everyone. He asked that the Council delay a decision on this
podion of the proposal, the Sapphire crossing portion, in order to allow time to consider this in more
detail.
Mayor Alexander asked when is an actual action by the Council necessary on the profile of the freeway to
coincide with the needs of putting together the whole package. He stated he hated to split this action up and
leave the impression that the Council is in favor of SANBAG's new proposed changes.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated they have already operationalized the recommendations of the Ad Hoc
Committee relative to the general profile throughout the community. He stated on the segment
extending from Haven Avenue eastward, they are already assuming that portion of the Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendation will be approved and will be the actual design so they are proceeding
with the final design activity. He stated a final decision by the Council is necessary relative to the entire
remaining design issues which the Council may have optimistically around March, April or May when
they have the final environmental impact statement, at which point they will be able begin acquiring
right-of-way. He stated deferring action from Haven west will not slow them down or impact them in
anyway. He stated their only concern would be that they arrive at a final and mutual decision on what
City Council Minutes
August 16, 1995
Page 8
the freeway is going to look like in all regards, including frontage roads, local access and interchange
locations, etc. that might hold up the Council's decision to move forward with the freeway agreement
with Caltrans, which is the key trigger to proceed with implementing the freeway.
Councilmember Williams asked when is the last time that line items on the budget were really looked at
regarding mitigating measures being taken, different things that are happening, to see if possibly some of the
priorities have changed. She thought prices for different things may have changed and that maybe some of
the money could be reallocated to other areas such as the Sapphire portion if this is the priority at this time.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated what she is describing is a continuous process. He stated they are
constantly re-evaluating their forecast of revenues and constantly trying to refine their estimate of costs.
He stated they are constantly re-evaluating the basic construction sequencing plan which is the shifting
of priorities Councilmember Williams was talking about. He stated this is a constant ongoing activity
that they are engaged in.
Councilmember Williams stated there are budgeted mitigation measures and other budgeted items, and asked
if each of those budgets has been re-evaluated.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated no, those will not be changed.
Councilmember Biane asked if the Task Force was aware of the changes Mr. Moon was proposing for
Sapphire.
Mr. Moon stated no, but that he was not ready to discuss any thing at this time.
Councilmember Curatalo asked if Mr. Moon had expressed his concerns for Sapphire during the Committee
meetings.
Mr. Moon stated yes that they were aware of his concerns, and that he is asking for a little more time
on this portion of the freeway. He felt it would be a good idea for the Task Force to review the Sapphire
area again and to reconsider this portion. He stated they are happy with everything else, but would
appreciate a hold on the Sapphire portion so the Task Force could reconsider his new proposal.
Mayor Alexander stated Rancho Cucamonga is not trying to build a "Taj Mahal". He felt it was a good idea to
at least listen to Mr. Moon's proposal.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council were:
Karen Schmauss, 6290 Morning Place, stated Mr. Moon has stated that Rancho Cucamonga is holding
up things and that now he is wanting to present a new plan for Sapphire. She stated she did not agree
with the newspaper article and that the Task Force represents the whole community. She did not think
it was good to hold up the vote tonight.
Gary Christian, Upland resident and Rancho Cucamonga Chamber member, stated he was opposed
to the Task Force's vote on the freeway design because of the additional $17,000,000 it would cost to
do what the Task Force wanted. He stated he would like to see the other options for Sapphire.
Mr. Lansdale, Sapphire, felt they should get on with the freeway and thought they should go over
Sapphire.
Deon Royce, 6644 Sapphire, stated they can't do anything to their homes because of waiting to see
what is going to happen with the freeway near his street.
City Council Minutes
August16,1995
Page 9

should not settle for anything but the best. He did not think money should be a problem for something
for the future.

overhead and earthquakes.
Ray Kinochio, Finch Ave., stated the depressed proposal as presented is what they want and felt the
Council should go forward with this.
Frank Munoz, 6621 Kern, felt this was a historical night. He felt quality was very important. He felt the
Council should vote for the recommendation of the Task Force.
Ed Petrie, 8250 Highland, asked that the Council vote on the total freeway and not do it by segments.
He also felt the Task Force should listen to Mr. Moon's proposal.
Don Donnelly, Transportation Committee of CLOUT, felt the Council should go with SANBAG's
recommendation and listen to what they have to say in order to reach a compromise on this issue.
Bryan Mulligan, 5709 Turquoise, felt the Council should go ahead and vote for the Task Force's
recommendation in its entirety.
AI Hudgens, Caltrans, asked that the Council not vote tonight on the Sapphire portion as was
recommended by the Task Force.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he is very skeptical about waiting to hear what SANBAG wants to propose.
Mayor Alexander asked Mr. Hudgens how long it would take for a presentation to be prepared for their
proposal.
Mr. Hudgens stated it could be done at the September Task Force meeting.
Councilmember Williams felt it would only be fair to present the proposal to the whole Task Force instead of
doing it tonight.
Mr. Hudgens stated he felt SANBAG and Caltrans have always tried to be professional and fair.
A Task Force Member from the audience asked if the Council couldn't go ahead and vote on the
matter tonight and then possibly modify it if the Task Force liked SANBAG's idea.
Donald Martin stated he was concerned about the people that might lose their homes because of the
fleeway.
Sally Jenkins, 9171 Lorena Court, stated she was outraged by the comments made by the Upland
Mayor. She stated she is proud of the City Council and glad they are really concerned about what the
community wants.
Dods Beckner, Task Force Member, stated there is a safety factor in the Sapphire area. She felt Mayor
Nolan should consider the whole freeway.

tonight.
Councilmember Biane thanked the members of the Task Force and also SAN BAG and Caltrans. He felt the

Task Force wants to.
Councilmember Williams stated this is a recommendation to the City Council by the Task Force that the Council
would be voting on. She felt the City Council has responsibility to the taxpayers also and felt she would like to
hear what SANBAG and Caltrans has to say about their new proposal. She stated she wants another meeting
of the Task Force to hear the new proposal. She felt the budget line by line should be looked at also. She
stated this is an ongoing process.
Mayor Alexander stated he agreed with Councilmember Williams and felt the Task Force should listen to the
new proposal.

13. CONSIDERATION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE 1996 MOBILE HOME INITIATIVE
Staff report presented by Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he opposed the initiative and felt the Council should be involved in the decision
making process for this matter.
Councilmember Biane stated he felt the Accord was important to the residents of the City and felt the City
should reject the measure for the ballot.
Councilmember Willlares wondered how this ever got approved to go on the ballot and felt possibly it might
have been the "tricky" wording. She felt the City needed to ban together with the community to fight this
initiative.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he agreed with Councilmember Williams. He felt this should be the first step
and for the residents to be proactive and do something about this.
Mayor Alexander opened the matter up for public input. Addressing the City Council were:

Donald Martin, Chaparral Mobile Home Park, stated he could not afford rent increases because he is
on a fixed income.
Dee Murray had a copy of the actual petition that was circulated and pointed out the fine print on it.
She suggested that there be meetings with the Council and the mobile home people so that they can
hear what is really going on with this.
Jack Williams, Ramona Villa, commended the Council for opposing the initiative and stated he felt it
wasn't fair. He asked that this be forwarded to the appropriate legislators.
Don Hardy, Alta Laguna, asked that the Council support the opposition of the initiative.
Richard Gibson, Pines Mobile Home Park, asked that the City inspect his clubhouse because of the
poor condition it is in.
Don Davis, Pines Mobile Home Park, asked that the Council, on a monthly basis, write a letter to the
mobile home park residents so that they will know what is going on with this and what the Council
thinks about it.
Donald Marljn, Chaparral Mobile Home Park, stated he did not think it was fair for the owners to raise
rents and not make improvements at the parks. He asked that the Council represent the mobile home
own e FS.
Mayor Alexander stated he felt some of the owners were taking advantage of the Accord and that this should
be looked at.
Mr. Miller, Chaparral Heights, did not feel the City was doing much to help the mobile home residents
with rent control. He felt what was being proposed tonight would help them. He felt that only mobile
home residents should be able to vote on the initiative instead of all residents.
DonDonnelly thought this was a good first step to approve the proposed Resolution. He thanked the
Council for their leadership.

literacy services and, subject to City Attorney review, approve contract agreement with the City
of Upland for the services of Lori Hopkins to provide coordinating skills for the joint Rancho
Cucamonga/Upland literacy program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
California Library Literacy Services Program:
The California Library Literacy Services program makes funds available for public libraries to
provide literacy services to adults in their service region. The funds are available, on application,
for a five year period, in the following manner:
Year 1: 75% (grant starts in October of fiscal year)
Year 2 & 3: 100%
Year 4: 75%
Year 5: 50%
For each year after year five, the libraries may apply for additional grant assistance.
Description of the Rancho Cucamonga Literacy Program:
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library program will provide literacy instruction for adults
challenged in reading, writing and basic math skills. The library program will be a grass roots
effort designed to excite the community about literacy. We will promote the one-on-one concept
of literacy instruction, emphasizing tutor involvement with the student. The Library, as opposed
to a school environment, will emphasize personal training and personal commitment as major
components of the program.
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library project will be working closely with the Upland Literacy
Program, now in operation for 6 years. The two projects will generate a symbiotic relationship,
with each gaining energy from the other program. The new Rancho program is designed to
infuse new excitement, a larger territory, a greater population to draw upon. The established
Upland Literacy program will provide a base of knowledge and experience from which to draw,
an understanding of the polices and paperwork procedures of the grant process and an overall
ability to promote literacy as a concept through major media in the broader Inland Empire
community.
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library Literacy Application:
In June of 1995, at their regular meeting, the Library Board unanimously approved a literacy
grant proposal (Attachment A) that contained the following elements:
1)
The proposal is a cooperative venture with the City of Upland to provide a
program where future expenses can be shared by the two jurisdictions.
2)
The proposal will guarantee continuation of the literacy services currently provided by
Upland and guarantee the continuation of the high quality of the program through
contracting with the City of Upland to hire existing Literacy Coordinator, Lori Hopkins
to coordinate the joint program.
3)
The lead agency in the proposal is the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Therefore all grant
funded employees shall be located at the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library and all
funding awarded to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
4)
Funding for the following positions
a. Literacy Coordinator (filled by Lori Hopkins)
b. Clerk (full time position to be recruited by the City of Rancho Cucamonga)
5)
The proposal also includes special one-time funding for literacy training materials,
high interest-low vocabulary readers, video taping equipment and various items of
office supply.
Recommendation to accept funds:
On August 14, 1995, Library Administration received a letter of award for the sum of $84,370,
the maximum award which can be received in year one. (Attachment B) Since the grant carries
no stipulation or requirement on the part of Rancho Cucamonga to continue the program in the
absence of State funding should economic downturn or other factors cause funds to be diverted
from the literacy program in years 2-5, the Library Board and Library Administration strongly
urge acceptance of the grant funding to provide literacy services through the Rancho Cucamonga
Public Library literacy coalition with the City of Upland, and allocation of the funds to the
ropriate library account.

PLAN OF SERVICE NARRATIVE
Type or print the answer to each question. Use as many pages as necessary to be concise
but thorough.
1. Describe the general characteristics of the population within your library
jurisdiction in relation to the literacy services you plan to offer.
What are the key demographic factors (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic
and educational levels)? How do these characteristics vary in different
neighborhoods or communities within your library jurisdiction? NVhat is your
estimate of the size of the adult population needing literacy services in your jurisdiction?
DESCRIPTION:
Rancho Cucamonga is a "new" city of 115,000 population, located in 29 square miles of
San Bernardino County. The City was created in 1980 by the joining of three old,
established communities of diverse makeup: Alta Loma, Cucamonga and Ettiwanda.
There are 69,264 residents over the age of 18, according to the 1990 census.
EDUCATION:
In terms of education, 10,714 or 15% of the adult community, failed to graduate from
High School. On the opposite end of the scale, 29% of the population have college
degrees.
ECONOMICS:
5.5% of the population, or 5,500 individuals are "below poverty." in terms of income.
Most of these individuals reside in the Cucamonga portion of the City, with some spill-
over into the "countrifled" Ettiwanda area.
Alta Loma, bordering on the edges of the city of Upland, represents the highest economic
income and education levels within the city.
ETHNICITY/PLACE OF BIRTH:
Our ethnic breakdown is as follows:
White: 79%
Black: 6%
Asian: 5%
Other: 9%
(Hispanic Origin: 20%)
Only 11% of our residents are "foreign born", with 89% of our community native
residents.
ESTIMATED ILLITERACY RATE:
To estimate the target population of adult illiteracy in Rancho Cucamonga, we have taken
the base adult population of 69,264. From that, we have removed 2, 173 adults who state
in the census that they are "linguistically isolated" from English (making them more
appropriate for ESL than Literacy training) and are left with the total of 67,091.
We then use the state illiteracy average of 15% of the population. This state average is
used to produce our target base of 10,064.
o
Describe your !ibrary's literacy activities, current or past (e.g, existing library
literacy services, referrals to other California Literacy Campaign programs, LSCA
Title VI grants, etc.)
The Library was created as an entity in July of 1994. At the first Board Meeting of the
newly formed Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, a Board member requested a report on
options for bringing literacy to the new city library. While the Library has no past track
record of commitment to literacy, that is simply because the library itself has no past.
Since the Library's opening in October of 1994, the library has fielded requests regarding
literacy services both from prospective clients as well as tutors. Library staff has referred
the questioners to the Upland literacy program, an active member in the California
Literacy Campaign.
The Rancho Cucamonga Friends of the Library, formerly based with the San Bernardino
County Branch facility serving Rancho Cucamonga, have been supporting the Upland
Literacy Program for the past several years, with donations between $200 and $500
each year. They have pledged a $5,000 grant toward literacy endeavors each year. Their
estimated income for 1994 is $30,000.
Describe community's current literacy activities (e.g., Laubach Literacy CLLA)
Councils, Literacy Volunteers of America CLVA) affiliates, Adult Basic Education
(ABE), Community College literacy programs, community based organizations, etc.)
California Literacy Campaign Program:
Representing the CLC Program, the Upland Public Library provides many of the literacy
services relied on by the community. Currently 13 Rancho residents serve as tutors in the
Upland program. In addition, Upland serves 12 students registered in their program who
currently live in Rancho Cucamonga.
Finally, the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library is a site for tutors of the Upland
program who wish to use the Study Room located on the second floor for tutor
sessions.
Community College Programs:
The Chaffey Community College offers several programs designed to assist the adult
reader who wishes to participate in a school environment. The Chaffey Community
College Educational Resource Program or ERC serves individuals with learning
disabilities. Services include basic skills in language and reading. The fees charged are
nominal or none.
Chaffey also offers the Chaffey Community College Learning Development Center,
located in Rancho Cucamonga, offering classes in practical living skills, functional
reading and career preparation.
What special role will your library literacy service play among the literacy service
providers of your community?
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library program will provide literacy instruction for
adults challenged in reading, writing and basic math skills. The library program will be a
grass roots effort designed to excite the community about literacy. We will promote the
one-on-one concept of literacy instruction, emphasizing tutor involvement with the
student. The Library, as opposed to a school environment, will emphasize personal
training and personal commitment as major components of our program; a less
institutionalized approach than the Adult Basic Education which forms the core of the
services currently offered.
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library project will be working closely with the Upland
Literacy Program, now in operation for 6 years. The two projects will generate a
symbiotic relationship, with each gaining energy from the other program. The new
Rancho program is designed to infuse new excitement, a larger territory, a greater
population to draw upon. The established Upland Literacy program will provide a base
of knowledge and experience from which to draw, an understanding of the polices and
paperwork procedures of the grant process and an overall ability to promote literacy as a
concept through major media in the broader Inland Empire community.
Is there a community adult literacy coalition within your library jurisdiction? If
"yes", describe how your literacy program will participate. If "no", describe how
your library will assist in establishment of one.
While there is no literacy coalition within the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library's
jurisdiction, the Upland Literacy Alliance. organized in 1990, services Rancho
Cucamonga currently, and will continue to do so with Rancho Cucamonga a strong
participant.
Currently, the Alliance is composed of representatives from the Upland City
Council, the media, local churches, community service organizations, local
businesses and surrounding libraries.
The new Rancho Cucamonga program would become involved with this coalition, to
form a new, invigorated community literacy coalition. Since the Alliance is currently
restructuring to provide greater scope and coverage for the organization, the timing is
perfect to infuse "new blood" into the organization by adding Rancho Cucamonga
businesspeople, church group representation and literacy activists to forge a dynamic
community wide organization, renamed to reflect the broader scope of service and
new partnerships formed.
Even broader in scope and coverage is the informal sharing of literacy services and events
currently occurring between Colton, Riverside City and County, San Bernardino City and
San Bernardino County Literacy programs. Together in 1994, along with Upland Library
Literacy, they planned and coordinated the Adult Learner's Conference. The new Rancho
Cucamonga Public Library Literacy Program would become part of this planning
groupfor literacy services.
Describe the library and community sites you plan to use for program activities
(e.g., tutoring, tutor training, program administration, alliance activities, resource
center, etc.) and discuss the rationale for your choices.
Overall description of the Rancho Cucarnonga Public Library:
The new library was opened in October, 1994. It presently houses a collection of 90,000
items, 200 periodical subscriptions and circulates 1,900 items per day.
Located in 26,000 sq. feet, the new library offers major technological services, including
on-line access to the catalog and magazines full text; dial-up referral data base; fully
loaded windows computers for the public and a fully automated book renewal service.
The library is currently open 7 days a week, with on-line access available 24 hrs. each
day.
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library is a universal borrowing facility, a participant in
O.C.L.C. and a member of the Inland Library System.
Literacy Offices:
Year 1:
During the first formative year, the literacy office will be located in a large area on the
second floor currently used for storage. (See attachment A) There is sufficient room for a
coordinator to establish an office immediately, and sufficient room for resource materials.
Clerical help will be housed both in that location and in office cubicles located in the
regular administrative staff offices.
Year 2:
The HUD program for the City of Rancho Cucamonga has already contacted the Library
Director and expressed interest in receiving an application for funding that will create real
office space for a long term literacy office. This assistance will be applied for in year
1995/96.
Tutor Training:
Tutor training will be held in the Community Room area located on the second floor of
the library. This 100 sq. ft. area was designed as meeting room space.
Tutoring:
Rancho Cucamonga Public Library:
Tutoring will take place in the study room on the second floor, as well as the community
room space during hours specifically set aside for that purpose. The room can be divided,
so will serve as a location for tutoring two pairs at any time of the day for which the room
is not booked.
Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center:
A city facility, the Neighborhood Center is used for everything from Vita Income Tax
Assistance to food distribution to free health clinics. Useful as both a referral agency for
students and a tutoring location, this Center is warm, comfortable, familiar and non
threatening for many potential students.
Other community sites will be identified at a later date.
How do you plan to develop library staff awareness and involvement in the
development of your literacy service?
The staffof the Rancho Cucamonga'Public Library is small (18 FTE) and all are located'
in the same building. Relations are informal and friendly. Administration creates a
weekly "HOTLINE" of library and city happenings and the staff newslener issued weekly
provides a more personal interpretation of the news. The Literacy application has already
appeared as an information item in both of those publications.
Adult and Information Services will be involved as they assist in locating potential
alliance agencies, help to establish the program component of the project and refer
potential students and tutors discovered in the reference interview situation to the
Literacy Coordinator.
Describe how you plan to transition from primary financial support of your literacy
service from CLSA in years 1-3, to increasingly local funding during years 4 and 5,
and to the matching program in the sixth and subsequent years.
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library plans a program that will attack the issues of
long range funding in two directions:
1) A team or coalition approach that will keep long term overhead costs down
2) An aggressive fund-raising approach from year one of the grant.
1) Team approach
While the first years of operation will require a full time individual to coordinate and
establish a program basic and unique to Rancho, a long range goal of the Rancho
Cucamonga Public Library program is to evolve into a program where on-going
expenses can be shared with other public library jurisdictions.
In this initial application, Upland Public Library and Rancho Cucamonga Public Library
are working in tandem to create a project structure that will begin to make possible the
coordination and sharing of overhead costs for literacy in the future.
The coalition currently formed between Upland and Rancho Cucamonga Public Library
will provide savings for both jurisdictions in the future by establishing the framework to
jointly fund project management staff.
The ideal configuration for the future would be three public library jurisdictions, each
housing and promoting their own unique literacy programs, but all coordinated under the
talents of one Literacy Coordinator, with all personnel and support expenses shared
amongst the three participants. This approach would serve to keep the overall costs of the
service down.
2) Fund rabing
.i
The full time staffing funded by the grant will have as a primary responsibility to
generate grass roots support for the literacy program within the community.
While our primary role in year one will be forming community partnerships, discovering
students and generating qualified tutors, we will also be creating the funding base that
will carry the program on in future years.

What will be the key sources of referral of learners to your literacy service? (e.g.,
self-referral, adult basic education in local education agencies, heath and human
service agencies, employment development agencies, local volunteer services, or
other governmental and nongovernmental organizations.)
a,
c,
Self referral
The Adult Education Program operated through the five resident school
districts of Rancho Cucamonga
The Adult Education Program operated through Chaffey College
The Upland Public Library literacy program
CALL, the Southern California 800 number
What other means of learner recruitment do you plan?
The Library plans to offer a series of Life skills programs. The Project Manager will be
expected to host one program each month, featuring an aspect of Life skills enhancement
to bring into the library prospective literacy clients. These Life skills programs will be in
the area of job finding, family nutrition planning, basic economic skills, etc. The purpose
of these programs will be twofold:
1)
2)
to bring in potential literacy clients
to strengthen the alliance between the library's program and health and human
service agencies, who would be requested to speak in their respective areas of
expertise
What agencies are available for ancillary services to adult leamen? (For example,
health, legal, counseling, employment) How do you intend to relate to these
services?
The agencies listed below are available to assist learners in many areas of life. A free-
flowing referral process is planned. Those agencies below are listed according to the
following potentials: to provide referrals and Life skills programs; to provide a fund-
raising base.
Each agency is being contacted, and leUers of support for the program sought.
For potential student referrals and !ifski!ls program speakers:
Adult Development Center: provides training, placement and employment for
vocationally developmentally disabled individuals.
Chaffey Community College Educational Resource Program: serves individuals with
learning disabilities.
Chaffey Community College Learning Development Center: Offers students practical
living skills, functional reading and career preparation.
Employment Development Department: provides employment services for job seekers
Employment Training Agency: vocational training and job placement assistance to
displaced and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Help On Call: United Way agency for information and referral. Helps to link people in
the community to available resources.
House of Ruth: Provides crisis counciling to battered women; performs referrals to other
agencies.
Operation Share: provides emergency food, clothing and counseling for residents.
Questward Foundation: Proves aide to homeless; offers the "transition training center"

priority includes donations to worthy causes.
Rotary Club ofRancho Cucamonga: international organization of business people.
Rotary Club Sunrise: international organization of businessmen and women.
12.
Describe the instructional strategies and materials you plan to use. Discuss these
plans in relation to the population you intend to reach and the sites you plan to use.
The population targeted by this program will be those individuals who have "slipped
through" the traditional educational system; individuals who speak English but whose
reading and w~'iting skills are undeveloped. In addition, our students will be those for
whom the more structured "classroom" approach provided by Adult Education has not
been appropriate.
Our program will recruit, train and match volunteer tutors with students in a one-to-one
environment for free instruction in basic reading and writing. The tutor training sessions
proposed were developed by the Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc.
A variety of materials will be used by the tutors to reach their students. "Real World"
materials, such as newspapers, magazines, labels, menus, street signs, map and traffic
signs will be strongly emphasized in tutor training and tutors encouraged to include some
of the above in each tutoring session. Tutors will also be encouraged to ask their students
to select materials to be read.
Laubach workbooks will also be available for tutors who have an interest in that
structured approach. For student/tutor combinations who wish to work with phonic
instruction, the Laubach phonics book series will be available.
The Rancho Cucamonga program will encourage tutors to utilize three or four different
materials and approaches in each tutoring session. It has been learned that as each
student has different needs and goals, no one material or approach can be utilized
exclusively.
Used as tutoring sites will be the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, the Rancho
CuCamonga Neighborhood Center and several local churches who have expressed
willingness to house tutoring efforts.
13.
Describe how you plan to train tutors. Include (to the extent known) specific
techniques, length of pre-service workshops and names of prospective tutor trainers.
Trainers:
The Rancho Cucamonga Literacy Program will contract with one of the following to
present tutor training sessions:
Evey Renner, Literacy Consultant
Mary Ann Ponder, Colton Literacy Coordinator
The selection will be made through a request for proposal process.
Workshops and techniques:
Tutors will receive a ten hour tutor training workshop including an orientation, an
overview of the program and a library tour.
Tutor training will include the basic principles of teaching reading to adults and eight
teaching approaches; language experience stories, sight words, phonics, word panems,
comprehension skills, language structure, duet reading and "real world" reading skills.
The workshop will also include demonstration and practice time in teaching techniques
and the oppommity to share the experience of seasoned/veteran tutors and adult learners.
The Library proposes to contract for three general full training workshops and an
additional three two hour workshops for more advanced tutors in the areas of learning
disabilities, learning styles and "whole language" as a tutoring technique.
14.
How many tutors do you intend to recruit, train and match with adult learners in
the initial year?
40-60 tutors, depending on demand from learners.
15. Provide a time line of tutor training workshops you plan to offer in the initial year.
The first tutor training will be conducted in early December. A second tutor training will
be conducted in early Spring (March). Depending on the demand and necessity, a third
session could be offered for late Spring/early Summer (June). We will also be providing
special in-service for "seasoned" tutors in early Summer. These in-service sessions x~ill
emphasize a particular tutoring skill.
16.
What other plans do you have for your literacy service that were not elicited by the
above questions?
Basic to our proposal is close and cooperative interaction with the currently existing
program located at Upland Public Library. The Library Directors of both Upland and
Rancho Cucamonga have worked closely in developing this proposal and believe that the
synergistic approach to literacy services will provide a firm funding base for both library
programs and a stronger ability to carry on literacy services after the state funding has
diminished.
We plan to work closely over the next 5 years to strengthen the bonds between the two
programs; to coordinate expenses and services; to share in common those items which
make the most economic sense; and yet to hold complete and distinct the mission,
political base and independent spirit and character of each program.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729, Director
Dear Ms. Clark:
August 14, 1995
I am pleased to inform you that Rancho Cucamonga Public Library has been granted financial assistance for
the 1995/96 fiscal year for participation in the California Library Literacy Services (CLLS) program in the
amount of $ 84,370. I enclose the approved CLSA Budget page that supports the Literacy Plan of Service.
Be sure to plan for the increasing local role expected in this program. Under the provisions of the CLLS, the
State's financial support declines in years four and five. After the fifth year the State is authorized (contingent
upon availability of funds each year) to provide up to a dollar-for-dollar match for funds raised locally.
You will soon receive reporting procedures and masters for reporting forms for use during the 1995/96 fiscal
year. All Quarterly Reports must be ~ed in original plus two copies within thirty days of the end of each
quarter.
I enclose a master (for duplicating) of the Budget Change Request form to be used if changes in the
approved CLSA budget should become necessary. Please call A1 Bennett, Literacy Specialist, to discuss
proposed changes before submitting Budget Change Requests in writing.
You must use CALPEP (the California Adult Learner Progress Evaluation Process) for learner assessment soon
after instruction of each learner begins, and again each December and June. New computer software for
CALPEP data entry and reporting is nearing completion.
Quarte~y reports and CALPEP reports must be submitted on time to assure payments by the California State
Library.
I encourage your library's participation in the nearest regional library literacy network.
Please contact A1 Bennett, Literacy Specialist, at 916-653-7743 if you have questions or require assistance in
your literacy activities.
Welcome to the California Literacy Campaign!

INTERNET ACCESS AND WEB SERVER
Internet Access and WEB server
BACKGROUND
With the increased presence of government, counties, cities, and law enforcement agencies on
the Internet and with the vast amount of information available on the Internet it would be a major
advancement for the Police Department to have access to the Internet. It is also requested that a
WEB Server be implemented. This would allow anyone on the Internet to access information
that is made available on the WEB Server. As an example some of the information that would be
made available is local crime statistics, information on wanted criminals, and any information
that we would like to make public.
HAND HELD RADIO BATTERIES
100 Batteries
BACKGROUND
With over 70 hand held radios and the amount of use that they are given the batteries need to be
replaced on a regular basis. The stated average life of a battery in the law enforcement
environment is 1 year. We currently have over 15 radios with batteries approaching 2 years of
service. The purchase of 100 batteries will update all radios and allow for more than 1 years
worth of replacement.
MODIFY PA SYSTEM FOR 6WVC1
Sound System Modifications
BACKGROUND
With the design of the public safety having the lower floor mostly below grotmd and all of the
steel and concrete on the upper floors the radio reception on the lower level is very poor. By
adding the 6WVC 1 radio channel to the PA system personnel will be able to monitor the radio
traffic when they are in the station and be able to respond to radio traffic. The addition of the
radio channel will be to selected area' s only. This could be considered an officer safety issue.

BACKGROUND
Over the last yearw some of the mini-recorders currently in use have broken beyond repair. The
station has also increased the number of deputies which also need recorders. The new recorders
will also need to have holders.
RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHTS
12 Rechargeable Flashlights
With charging stations
BACKGROUND
These flashlight will be used to update all of the Detective units to be the same as all of the other
units.. This is also to replace several flashlights that are beyond repair.
EQUIPMENT FOR DETECTIVE UNITS
Various Equipment
BACKGROUND
The Detective unit needs binoculars and "RAID" vests for surveillance work and when they are
involved with search warrants and other agency combined efforts. The "RAID" vests are needed
as an officer safety item to identify the Detectives to all personnel that at are on location at any
law enforcement activity. The binoculars are needed so that surveillance work and be done.

PORTABLE VIDEO PROJECTOR
LCD Video Projector and cart
BACKGROUND
The Crime Prevention Unit is changing the traditional manner of conducting Neighborhood
Watch Meetings. While other departments, like Sacramento Sheriffs, have conducted
Neighborhood Watch meetings to large sectors of the area for years, Rancho Cucamonga has
now reached a population size that indicates a need to restructure the presentation methods as
well. To present Crime Prevention programs to such large groups a portable LCD video
projector and a video cart is needed.
THOMAS BROTHERS MAPS
New Thomas Brothers Maps
BACKGROUND
In the 1996 issue of the Thomas Brothers maps the street grid system was changed. This is for
the better because the new maps have better resolution and are easier to read. The Sheriffs
department dispatch system will support the new grids but it must be done on a complete
jurisdiction at a time. It's all or nothing on a per station basis. This request will cover the
complete needs of this station.
FORENSIC SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT
Forensic Supplies and Equipment
BACKGROUND
The Forensics unit is requesting several items be purchased from Asset Seizure funds. One item
is a Metal Detector which will be used to located metal items at crime scenes. This will include
knifes, guns shell casings, projectiles and other metallic items. Also requested is a shredder that
is capable of shredding pictures and drivers licences, credit cards and a moderate amount of

paper that is all confidential in nature and needs to be destroyed. Currently this needs to be
batched and is very inconvenient and time consuming. Other items include lamps for night work
at crime scenes, straps for the 35mm cameras, several drawing templates for crime scene layouts,
a printer for computerized I-Dent-A-Kit and wanted posters, and reference books.
TRAFFIC DIVISION TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
Tools and Supplies
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Division needs tools to perform maintenance and minor repairs to the motorcycles in
the unit. These are metric tools and are not available from the automotive unit. The Traffic
Division needs to add Orange Traffic Cones as they currently do not have an adequate amount to
mark traffic hazards and accidents. The unit also needs to replace and add supplies that they
need to document traffic accidents, these are to include drawing templates, calculators, drawing
boards, etc.

FROM: Suzanne Ota, Community Services Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN HILLSIDE COMMUNITY CHURCH
AND THE CITY'S COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR USE OF CLASSROOMS
BY THE PLAYSCHOOL PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the agreement between Hillside Community Church and the City
for use of class rooms for by the Community Services Play School Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Playschool program offered by the Community Services Department is a very popular program
within the City. The program is offered at Lions and Neighborhood Centers and was offered at two
portables via a contract with Central School District and Lewis Homes. This contract expired when
the permanent Ruth Musser Middle School was built and the portables were sold to the Fontana
School District. Community Services was also trying to seek an additional classroom space that
would allow for the transfer of the current Playschool class from the Neighborhood Center. Since
notification of the pending closure of the portables Community Services has been in the process of
locating suitable space for the Playschool program.
An agreement has been developed with Hillside Community Church for the use of five classrooms.
Staff believes that this location will meet the Playschool program needs during this interim period.
This item was heard by the Planning Commission on August 23, 1995 based upon an appeal by the
residents of the area. The Planning Commission denied the appeal and approved the Playschool use
at the church by the City. Staff feels that many of the concerns of the neighbors were address by
the information presented at the Commission hearing.
ANALYSIS:
The agreement between the City and Hillside Community Church provides for the lease of five
classrooms at $300/month for each classroom for a total of $1,500 dollars a month including
utilities. Playschool Program fees will cover the rental cost for these facilities.
The use of these rooms will provide the ability to move classes from Neighborhood Center, handle
the classes canceled due to the closure of the two portables at the Ruth Musser School site, and

APPROVAL OF CONTRACTED SERVICE FOR THE FOUNDER'S DAY
PARADE BY WORLD WIDE SPECTACULARS, INC., d.b.a. PAGEANTRY
PRODUCTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,139.05 TO BE PAID FROM
ACCOUNT #01-4532-3900
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the contract with World Wide Spectaculars, Inc.
d.b.a. Pageantry Productions, to produce the Founders Day Parade in the amount of $7,139.05.
BACKGROUND
For the past fifteen years the City has sponsored the Founder's Day Parade. For the last five years
the City has contracted with Pageantry Productions to organize various parade functions. These
functions include trophies, dignitary vehicles, printing and mailing and processing of applications,
organizing the parade line-up, and writing the announcing script.
ANALYSIS
The task of taking nearly 2,000 people and putting them in an organized parade line-up, asking them
to perform and entertain, and yet do so without gaps is the main challenge of organizing any parade.
This challenge is magnified when children are asked to march along and keep in stop with older
youth and adults.
Several new steps were taken over the last few years to minimize problems and they were very
effective. These changes included:
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CONTRACTED SERVICE FOR FOUNDER'S DAY PARADE
September 20, 1995
Page 2
1)
The non-competitive community/youth group entries begin the Parade. The Parade started at
9:30 a.m. and involved those community groups, organizations and schools who wanted to
march or have vehicles in the Parade but were not of a competitive nature requiring judging
standards. These groups were not to be judged, but would receive a parade participation ribbon.
The Parades advertised start this year is 9:30 a.m. with all Councilmembers, the Mayor and other
dignitaries at the fi'ont of the Parade, followed by the non-competitive participants, and then the
judged participants.
2) The Parade route ended on the east side of Archibald, thereby making the Parade two tenths of
a mile shorter. Disbanding would occur from Archibald to Ramona.
3)
The entry deadline (October 20th) will be strictly enforced. Accepting applications after the
deadline adds to the overcrowding of the Parade. Staff will monitor application entries with
Pageantry and assist with contacting and reminding community groups of the entry application
deadline.
4)
A Performance Award ($200.00 cash prize) will be awarded to the entry which performs at the
three announcing stages and really gets the crowd into the spirit of the Parade. This
recommendation is intended to encourage the entertainment value of the Parade. Last year's
winner, Norwalk High School, was very excited about adding this cash prize to their band
boosters.
5) All judges will be under contract with Pageantry, therefore allowing Pageantry to have total
control of the judges. This worked very well and will continue under this new contract.
6)
The last two years the parade awards were incorporated into the Found's Day Celebration held
at the Adult Sports Park. This will continue in 1995 with the Award Ceremony held at
approximately 1:00 p.m.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the Parade Contract has been budgeted in the FY 1995/96 Annual Budget. The contract
amount has increased 5% this year which is the first increase in three years.

APPROVAL TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
ENVICOM CORPORATION FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT NOT TO EXCEED $80,000 (TO BE FUNDED FROM
DEVELOPER DEPOSIT THROUGH ACCOUNT NO. 01-4333-6035) FOR
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 95-03A AND INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT 95-04.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council grant, by minute action, this award
and execute the Professional Services Agreement.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: In July of this year, General Plan Amendment (GPA) 95-03A was
filed for the development of 514 single family homes within Subarea 16 'of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan (ISP), just west of Archibald Avenue and north of 4th Street. It is anticipated that the
unit count will expand with an additional 104 units with subsequent applications for properties under
separate ownership. Of the approximate 136 acres of Subarea 16, the combined applications
account for approximately 57 percent of the total. Eadier, in preliminary discussions, staff advised
the applicant, Cucamonga Counterpointe LLC (in association with Griffin Industries), that formal
consideration of such a large land use change would require the preparation of a focused
environmental impact report (FEIR). The applicant agreed with this determination and, in
May 1995, provided a $5,000 good faith deposit with the City to initiate an environmental consultant
selection process.
The selection process started with the sending of requests for qualifications (RFQ) to several
environmental consulting firms in Southern California, from which staff established a list of the three
most qualified firms in mid-July. These firms submitted their proposal for Scope of Services/Work,
with cost estimates, and were interviewed by staff on August 10, 1995. Of these highly qualified
firms, Envicom Corporation best matches our needs for this project. In particular, Envicom
exhibited a high degree of understanding for need to analyze vadous land use alternatives and
development performance standards for the entire subarea. The proposed Scope of Work includes
items recommended by staff, and agreed to by the applicant, with the entire contract cost borne
by the applicant. The contract is for $75,112.00 with the remainder of the requested amount as
a contingency.
CONCLUSION: For the stated reasons, staff recommends approval of the Professional Services
Agreement with Envicom Corporation.

APPROVAL OF USAGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CHAFFEY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
FOR USE OF RECREATIONAL FIELDS AT THE COLLEGE
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends entering into a renewal agreement with Chaffey Community College for the use
of College recreational fields and facilities for youth sport organizations. The Agreement would be
renewed to June 30, 1996, at a cost of $30,000.00 to cover maintenance and operations expenses
associated with the annual community usage.
BACKGROUND
In 1991 the City entered into an Agreement with Chaffey Community College for use of additional
sports field space constructed at Chaffey College. Since that time, Pop Wamer Football and Legion
Baseball have been the primary users with some use by soccer and little leagues.
ANALYSIS
This Agreement includes the use of two football fields for Pop Wamer Football, a 90' baseball field
for Legion Baseball, recreation fields year round for community youth sports groups, and limited
gymnasium use. The City would pay $30,000.00 for annual operation and maintenance of these
facilities. Funds are budgeted in the Park Development Fund.
SUMMARY
The attached renewal Agreement allows youth sport organizations to utilize sports fields for games
and practices. Staff intends to continue working with Chaffey College staff to ensure a mutually
beneficial joint-use program for the community.

opened its own library in the Fall of 1994. The City acquired this 11,160 sq. R. facility
in July of 1994 from the County of San Bernardino. This building has been
inadequately maintained over the past few years and the overall physical condition of
the building is poor. This facility will require repair work and replacement of material
and mechanical equipment, mandatory ADA modifications and upgrades, interior
remodeling to facilitate recreational programming needs, re-grading and re-landscaping
of the exterior grounds and reconstruction of the parking lot.

Lions Community Center (Lions West) is located at 9161 Base Line Road and is
adjacent to Lions East. This facility was first opened by the County of San Bemardino
in June of 1976 to serve as offices for the administrative park district, Service Area 50.
In 1979 the Lions Hall addition was added to bring the total square footage up to 8420
and the facility was tamed into a Community Center. This facility needs to be
retrofitted to meet current ADA standards which includes a 400 sq. It. expansion to
create a new entrance on the south side of the building. The current entrance on the
east side of the building does not meet ADA standards.

CONSIDERATION OF A MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
93-46 - FLORES - An appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a
request to modify the approved site plan and certain conditions of approval
for a previously approved gas station and mini-market in the Community
Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (Subarea 2),
located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue -
APN: 208-192-06 and 07.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council deny the modification to
Conditional Use Permit through adoption of the attached Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On July 27, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 93-46 for
the construction of a gas station and mini-market on a .63 acre parcel at the southeast
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. At the time of approval, the applicant
owned both the gas station site and the adjoining Red Hill Liquor site. Because of the size
of the gas station site and the dependence on the liquor store for access to Foothill
Boulevard, the two sites were considered as part of the same application. Improvements
proposed to both the gas station and liquor store site included formal hardscape and street
tree planting treatment and a landscaped planter and screen wall behind the right-of-way.
Also, the existing drive approach for In-N-Out Burger would be eliminated and access
provided through the liquor store site.
In October 1994, the applicant sold the Red Hill Liquor store to the current property owner.
In the process of transferring title, the applicant did not obtain the necessary legal
documents (e.g. dedications, easements, right-of-entry) to allow construction of the street
and on-site improvements required as part of the original approval. The applicant has
indicated that the liquor store property owner has been unwilling to provide the necessary
agreements to the applicant.
City Council Staff Report
CUP 93-46 - Flores
September 20, 1995

ANALYSIS
Because of the applicant's inability to obtain the necessary easements to complete the
improvements as required by the conditions of approval, the applicant has submitted a
modification request to eliminate those on-site improvements required on the liquor store
site. Also, the applicant has requested that the applicant initiate condemnation
proceedings on the liquor store site in order to obtain the necessary right-of-way to
complete the public improvements.
On August 23, 1995,' the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider
modifications to the approved site plan and conditions of approval for the gas station and
mini-market application. After receiving testimony on the application, the Commission
determined that since they did not have the authority to initiate condemnation proceedings,
any discussion of off-site improvements would be premature. The Commission felt that
the improvements should not be deleted across the liquor store site for the following
reasons:
Widening of Foothill Boulevard was necessary to provide greater safety for vehicles
entering the site from Foothill Boulevard. The widening created, in essence, a right-
turn pocket so vehicles entering the site would be out of the normal travel lanes.
The combination of the three drive approaches on the Red Hill Liquor Store and In-
N-Out Burger sites into one drive approach was necessary to better control access
to Foothill Boulevard and minimize turning conflict of vehicles entedng or exiting the
site.
The parking lot and landscape improvements are necessary to bring the Liquor
Store site into greater conformity with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan
requ!rements.

MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-46 - FLORES - A
request to modify the approved site plan and certain conditions. of approval
for a previously approved gas station and mini-market in the Community
Commercial designation (Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan,
located at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue -
APN: 208-192-06 and 07.
BACKGROUND: On July 27, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit 93-46 for the construction of gas station and mini-market on a .63 acre parcel at the
southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. At the time of approval, the
applicant owned both the gas station site and the adjoining Red Hill Liquor site. Because
of the size of the gas station site and the dependence on the liquor store for access to
Foothill Boulevard, the two sites were considered as part of the same application.
The applicant proposed improvements to the liquor store site that would bring the site into
closer conformance with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan development standards.
Street improvements, formal hardscape and street tree planting would be provided along
the property frontage. Landscaping and a rock screen wall would be provided behind the
public right-of-way to screen the parking area. The parking area would be restriped
consistent with Code requirements. The access to In-N-Out Burger would be revised to
access through the liquor store site, thereby eliminating a drive approach on Foothill
Boulevard.
In October 1994, the applicant sold the Red Hill Liquor store to the current property owner.
In the process of transferring title, the applicant obtained easements for the construction
of the trash enclosures and for reciprocal access across the liquor store site. The escrow
instructions for the sale indicated that the applicant would be constructing improvements
across the front of the liquor store site and that the buyer was aware of these
improvements. Prior to the close of escrow, however, the applicant did not obtain the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-46 - FLORES
August 23, 1995
Page 2
necessary legal documents (e.g. dedications, easements, right-of-entry) to allow
construction of the street and on-site improvements. The applicant has indicated that the
liquor store property owner has been unwilling to provide the necessary agreements to the
applicant.
ANALYSIS: Because of their inability to obtain the necessary agreements to complete the
improvements across the liquor store site, the applicant is requesting two actions by the
City. First, the applicant is requesting the City initiate condemnation proceedings against
the liquor store site. Condemnation of the right-of-way would allow the applicant to install
the street improvements, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and drive approach. These
improvements would combine the three drive approaches on the liquor store and In-N-Out
Burger sites into one approach on the liquor store site. The majodty of the street trees and
formal landscaping will be installed within the public right-of-way. A Condition of Approval
has been incorporated into the Resolution stating that the applicant shall make a good faith
effort to obtain the dedication prior to the City's initiating condemnation proceedings. The
cost of the condemnation would be paid by the applicant.
The second action requested by the applicant is a modification to the approved site plan
to eliminate those improvements on the liquor store site. As noted previously, the
approved plans call for the construction of landscaping and a screen walt behind the public
right-of-way, restriping the parking lot, the installation of landscaping adjacent to the liquor
store building, and the construction of a median at the Foothill Boulevard drive approach.
While the majority of these improvements are aesthetic in nature, the opportunity to bring
the site into closer conformity with the development standards, as previously agreed to by
the applicant, will be greatly reduced.
With previous applications, the Planning Commission required the applicant to obtain the
consent of the liquor store owner for the improvements necessary to complete the street
and parkway improvements. The applicants for Conditional Use Permit 88-03, the prior
application approved in September 14, 1988, had reached an agreement with the property
owner to install the improvements consistent with the required improvements of this
application. W'~hout the property owners consent, the applicant would not have the ability
to complete the project and, in essence, have "no project."
Rather than simply waiving the requirements, staff recommends that the applicant be
'required to enter into an agreement requiring the posting of a cash deposit to cover the
cost of the on-site improvements. The applicant must then make a good faith effort to
obtain the right-of-entry to install the improvements in conformance with the originally
approved plans. Only after the applicant has exhausted all reasonable efforts without
success would the deposit be returned to the applicant.

Dear Commissioners:
The: developers,~ Art and Diana Flores are submitting a revised site plan for
consideration and approval to amend the existing Conditional Use Permit for the
above referenced project. This request is necessary for the project to proceed.
The: C.U.P. apptovai encompasses the common vehicular ingress and egress
involving three separate parcels. Unfortunately, the owner of parcel two has
illustrated his unwillingness to agree to the conditions of approval. The owner of
parcel two was in attendance at the planning commission meeting for the
presentation of the project. No objections were voiced at this time.
The: Floras have made repeated attempts to obtain the easement document
approval from the owner of parcel two. These easements would include on-site
and off-site improvements and access. The lack of cooperation from the owner
.. ~.,~ of parcel two have/eft the Fiores with no other alternative but to file for this
~'~~~ amended C.U.P.' We are requesting that the C.U.P. be amended to omit the
, :' reqe/rements of on-site improvements to parcel two.
. ' Your understanding and approval will be greatly appreciated.
· Sincerely,
~;~ WeSley Okamoto

RESOLUTION NO. 95-39
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A MODIFICATION TO
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-46, A REQUEST TO MODIFY THE
APPROVED SITE PLAN AND CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR
A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED GAS STATION AND MINI-MARKET IN THE
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION OF THE FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN (SUBAREA 2) OF THE FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND VINEYARD AVENUE, AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 208-192-06 AND 07.
A. Recitals.
1. Art and Diana Flores have filed an application for a modification to Conditional Use Permit
No. 93-46, as described. in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On July 27, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 93-46,
subject to certain conditions, through adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 94-67.
3. On August 23, 1995, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
4. All legal prerequisites pdor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission
of the ,City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission dudng the above-
referenced public headrig on August 23, 1995, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the southeast comer of Foothill
Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue with a street frontage of 140 feet along Foothill Boulevard and 155
feet along Vineyard Avenue and is presently vacant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated for commercial uses and
is developed with a retail center. The property to the south is designated for residential uses and
is developed with a residential condominium project. The property to the east is designated for
commercial uses and is developed with a liquor store. The property to the west is designated for
commercial uses and is vacant; and
c. The development of the gas station and mini-market is consistent with the
Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and the Commercial
designation of the General Plan; and

d. The application contemplates acquisition of right-of-way across the frontage of the
Red Hill Liquor Store site. The ability to initiate proceedings to acquire the right-of-way rests solely
with the City Council. Should the City Council decide not to initiate condemnation proceedings to
acquire the right-of-way, the application would result in the following:
i. The original approval required the combination of the three drive approaches
on the Red Hill Liquor Store and In-N-Out Burger sites into one approach on the Liquor Store site.
The combination of these drive approaches results in safer vehicular movements and greater access
controls to Foothill Boulevard. Elimination of these requirements will result in the continuation of
unsafe, uncontrolled turning movements, posing a threat to public safety; and
ii. The odginal approval required the widening of Foothill Boulevard across the
front of the gas station and liquor store sites. This widening created, in effect, a right turn lane for
vehicles entering the subject site. This widening will allow the vehicles to pull out of the travel lanes,
thereby creating safer access to the site; and
e. The odginal application, together with the attached conditions of approval, complies
with the standards of the Development Code. Elimination of the frontage improvements across the
Red Hill Liquor Store site will result in a project which does not meet the requirements of the Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the July 27,
1994, and the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in
paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use, together with the conClitions applicable thereto, will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
b. The proposed use does not comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this
Commission hereby denies the application
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 1995.

MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAT, USE PERMIT 93-46 - FT.OPRS -A request to modify
the approved site plan and certain conditions of approval for a previously
approved gas station and mini-market in the Community Commercial designation
(Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the southeast
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue - APN 208-192-06 and 07.
Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman Barker asked what would happen if the Planning Commission took certain
actions and the City Council decided not to proceed with condemnation.
Mr. Murphy outlined on a map the two existing driveway locations on the liquor
store site. Me pointed out the proposed improvements with a new driveway
constructed. Me said if the City Council elected not to condemn the liquor store
site, the City might take a lien agreement or cash deposit for future
improvements if and when the whole section of Foothill Boulevard could be
completed. He said there is concern that doing improvements on the gas station
site and providing a taper or temporary curb and gutter could lead to maintenance
problems for Caltrans. He said another option would be for the gas station to
complete their improvements with a taper and improvements behind the taper could
be'completed at some future time. He said that would leave the two existing
drive approaches on the liquor store site. He thought there would also be a
possibility of closing off one of those driveways because the existing driveways
are within the right-of-way.
Chairman Barker asked if there had been a consideration that any modification
approved by the Commission be contingent upon the pursuance of condemnation
procedures by the City Council and failure of the Council to enact condemnation
would reverse the Planning Commission action.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated the Commission could add such a condition.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked what would happen if the driveways are left as they
currently exist.
Mr. Murphy outlined where landscaping would be in place and the access.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if the parcels have reciprocal access.
Mr. Murphy stated he had seen documents to indicate there is reciprocal access
across all three parcels.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt that would be the best solution.
Commissioner Lumpp questioned if staff had asked the adjacent property owner why
he would not grant the right to have their property improved.
Mr. Murphy replied the liquor store owner has objections to the proposed location
of the drive approach from Foothill Boulevard being on the east side of his
'property and has requested that it be on the west side of his property. He said
he has concerns about his patrons backing out of the parking in front of his
store into the drive aisle if the driveway is located on the east side of his
property.
Chairman Barker asked why the driveway could not be located where the liquor
store owner prefers it.
Planning Commission Minutes
-12-
August 23, 1995~
Mr. Murphy responded the driveway location was determined based upon the distance
from the Vineyard Avenue and Foothill Boulevard intersection.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, stated the proposed driveway is 220 feet from
the curb return of the intersection.
Chairman Barker asked if there is not currently a driveway at the location the
liquor store owner would like it to be placed.
Mr. James responded there is currently an asphalt driveway in that location.
Mr. Murphy stated that currently the driveway approach is simply rolled asphalt,
not an approach built to City standards.
Chairman Barker noted there has been a driveway there for a long time.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked why a driveway could not be left there since there is
already one in place.
Commissioner Melcher thought parking would be reduced if the driveway is allowed
to remain on the west side of the liquor store site. He noted that if the
driveway is moved to the west side of the'liquor store site, the lost parking
spaces could not be moved to the east side of the liquor store site because that
would obstruct the entrance to the In-N-Out site. He thought that moving the
entrance to the In-N-Out further south on the In-N-Out parcel to accommodate
moving of the driveway to the west side of the liquor store site, would also
interfere with the existing drive-thru lane and delete parking on the In-N-Out
site.
Mr. Murphy agreed that in order to accommodate moving the driveway to the west
on the liquor store site, parking would be lost and the circulation on the In-N-
Out site would be negatively impacted. He said staff has not pursued a scenario
of moving the driveway to the west side of the liquor store site because it is
felt that will be too close to the intersection.
Mr. James said that the City has reduced the minimum distance necessary in
certain instances. He stated he had not been personally informed that the liquor
store owner wanted the driveway on his west property line. He said the driveway
on the south boundary of the property is less than the 200 feet from the
intersection, but staff was recommending that it be allowed to go less than the
standard 200 feet because it is the best location that can be obtained on the
site.
Commissioner McNiel felt the originally proposed configuration is the best to
serve all three properties.
Commissioner Melcher stated he was chagrined that the project is back before the
Commission with no effort to address a concern he had raised on several
occasions. He asked that the impact of adding a Church's Fried Chicken franchise
to the service station be considered. He asked that the Commission consider
whether people will be coming to this constricted lot to buy chicken rather than
gas. He feared that having people utilize the parking spaces while they wait
five to ten minutes for their dinner to be prepared will further congest a site
that is already too congested and was only approved because it was felt it was
the only way the property could be developed.

Ms. Bullet noted that staff had received a letter from the property owner across
Vineyard Avenue expressing the opinion that traffic not be allowed to make a left
turn when exiting the site on Vineyard Avenue.
Duff Murphy, 28'1 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, stated he is the attorney
for the applicant. He said Mr. Flores was available to answer any questions the
Commission may .have.
Art Flores, 3762 Henderson Place, Claremont, stated the Church's chicken would
be available strictly for take-out. He said they had applied for all the permits
and he had complied with all of the City's requests. He asked for approval of
his application. He said the project has been in process for three years and it
has been a difficult application. He also stated that the chicken is prepared
on site and kept in a warmer for up to 45 minutes, at which time fresh product
is prepared. He'said there should usually always be fresh product available for
the customers resulting in very fast transactions.
Commissioner Melcher asked how many square feet would be devoted to the chicken
operation.
Mr. Flores said it would be approximately 450 square feet. He indicated what
portion of the service station would be devoted to the chicken sales.
Commissioner Melcher asked if service station staff would handle the chicken
sales.
Mr. Flores replied he is the franchisee for Church's Chicken.
Commissioner Melcher asked if there are presently any other service station
operations in Southern California where this is being done.
Mr. Flores said there are several stations with this new concept; one in Murietta
with a McDonald's in a Mobil station, a Taco Bell in La Verne, and several others
proposed.
Commissioner Lumpp asked for a comparison to purchasing a hot dog at an ARCO
mini-mart.
Mr. Flores said it should take approximately the same time because the product
is already prepared. He said they would only be serving fried chicken, mashed
potatoes, and certain types of vegetables and all food would be pre-prepared.
He said Ithe cashier would take the food from the warmer and give it to the
purchaser and the purchaser would serve their own drink from the fountain.
Commissioner Lumpp asked why the applicant cannot come to a resolution with the
adjacent property owner regarding the property improvements.
Duff Murphy stated that when the property was sold to the adjacent owner, Mr.
Flores thought the issue had been addressed. He said that when the City
requested a reciprocal agreement with the adjoining property owner tO permit some
of the offsite improvements to be constructed, the adjoining property owner (Mr.
Sandhu) resisted signing the agreement. He indicated there appears to be a
breakdown in communications and a disagreement over what was agreed to when the
property was sold. He stated there is clearly reciprocal access across the three
properties and Mr. Flores also reserved the driveway easement on Foothill
Boulevard in the configuration on the previously approved plan and the plan
before the Commission this evening. He said attorneys were not involved in
drawing up the buy/sell agreement and the exact limitation of how much land was

necessary for dedication on Foothill Boulevard and the delineation of that
dedication. He stated that because the requested 15 feet was not specifically
delineated, there is a question of how much land Mr..Sandhu is required to
dedicate. He reported that Mr. Flores is now not able to obtain that 15 feet and
Mr. Flores is willing to agree to make a good 'faith effort to acquire that
dedication, but requests that the City initiate condemnation proceedings at his
expense if he is unable to obtain the dedication. He understood that the City
Council, rather than the Planning Commission, would have to initiate the
condemnation proceedings. Mr. Murphy did not feel the City Council would have
the authority to condemn property for the proposed landscape area and stated Mr.
Flores would post a cash deposit to cover the cost of the on-site improvements,
which would be refunded to Mr. Flores if he is unable to obtain agreement for the
installation of the landscaping. He noted that if the liquor store is developed
in the future, the Commission would have the opportunity to further address the
landscaping issue.
Commissioner McNiel asked if Mr. Sandhu saw the plans prior to the sale
transaction.
Mr. Flores said that Mr. Sandhu approached him to purchase the property because
his master lease was going to expire later this year. He said he had explained
his project and shown plans to Mr. Sandhu and they had an agreement that he would
cooperate for the completion of the project.
Duff Murphy said he did not believe Mr. Sandhu was present when the Commission
previously considered the Conditional use permit, but he thought Mr. Sandhu's
wife and daughter were present at the hearing.
Mr. Flores said Mr. Sandhu saw the plans on several occasions and was aware of
the reciprocal entrance with In-N-Out.
Commissioner McNiel asked if a Conditional use permit carries with a property
when it is sold if the Conditional use permit covers reciprocal access across the
property.
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, replied that the reciprocal access agreement
has b~en recorded against the properties and does perpetually bind all three
properties. He said that agreement had been reviewed by the City when the map
was recorded.
Commissioner McNiel asked if the accompanying plans for the Conditional use
permit are affected.
Mr. Hanson stated Conditional use permit plans also run with the land.
Commissioner McNiel asked if the landscaping would then be enforceable.
Mr. Hanson replied the owner has changed. He said the project was not for the
liquor store and the City can now only hold up the service station project as a
means of enforcement.
Commissioner Melcher stated he was puzzled that the cash deposit Mr. Flores was
being asked to make would revert back to him if he is unable to get Mr. Sandhu
to agree to on-site improvements on the liquor store property. He thought the
money should revert to the City because he thought the City will be called upon
to solve problems resulting from an underdeveloped parking lot being used for
ingress and egress to the service station and he thought the deposit money could
help defray any costs the City incurs.

Mr. Hanson stated the money is for good faith funds for private improvements, not
public improvements, and the City would not go onto private property to improve
a liquor store. He noted that the public improvements will be completed as part
of the project.
'Scott Murphy stated the condition was placed in the resolution in order to enable
the applicant to pull a building permit prior to knowing whether or not he would
be able to complete the improvements.
Co~nissioner Lumpp asked if Mr. Sandhu purchased the property before or after the
Conditional use permit was approved.
Mr. Flores replied Mr. Sandhu purchased the property after the approval.
Duff Murphy believed the configuration of Foothill Boulevard had been approved
in a configuration similar to what is now proposed, but that was subject to
Caltrans approval, and when Caltrans approved the final design approximately
three months later, it required an additional 3 feet over what the Planning
Commission initially approved. He thought the sale had taken place prior to
Caltrans' ultimate decision.
Vernon Jolley, 15610 Terraceview Court, Riverside, stated he is an attorney
representing Mr. Sandhu. He stated Mr. Sandhu contends he was not shown this map
prior to purchase. He said the real issue does not concern the easement for the
landscaping or sidewalks, but instead deals with the driveways which have been
there for approximately 30 years and were a major consideration when his client
paid over $500,000 for the property. He observed it is their .contention that the
driveways were specifically discussed and they thought the bargain they were
entering into dealt with the gas station using the existing west driveway. He
said that Mr. Sandhu had not known that the western driveway would be eliminated
and that there would be a common driveway for all three parcels, including
In-N-Out. He noted the plans were approved when one person owned both the
service station site and the liquor store and that one person could suffer losses
from one business to another, but one person no longer owns both parcels. He
felt Mr. Sandhu's liquor store will be boxed in by having only one driveway. He
noted there are currently no parking stalls along the northern boundary and he
felt elimination of the western driveway and putting in parking stalls will not
benefit the liquor store, but only the gas station business. Me observed that
the proposed setup will require flow-through traffic continually through Mr.
Sandhu's property. He stated easements were granted with the idea that the
western driveway would be most used by the gas station. He thought the fuel
tanks are located on the southern portion of the service station site and felt
that fuel trucks will enter from Vineyard, cross the liquor store property and
exit via the eastern driveway. He felt this would cause increased liability
exposure for Mr. Sandhu because of the increased traffic. He said Mr. Sandhu is
willing to discuss landscape easements and public improvement setbacks and does
not want a condemnation proceeding. He was not sure if In-N-Out is aware of the
plan to combine driveways. Me said Mr. Sandhu would not have purchased the
property if he had known about the proposal to eliminate the western driveway.
Me asked that the City eliminate the restriction regarding driveways being
located within 200 feet of an intersection. He noted that the driveway on
Vineyard is less than 200 feet from the intersection. He asked that the City
make an exception on Foothill Boulevard as well.
Commissioner McNiel asked if Mr. Sandhu saw the plans prior to purchasing the
property.

Joe Sandhu, 1033 Pomello Drive, Claremont, stated he had not seen the plans until
recently when he received a copy from the City. He said he had not seen the
plans prior to purchasing the property and that he would not have bought the
property if he had known the fuel trucks would be going across his property. He
stated that when he went to the City, he was shown'plans that had been submitted
by a previous developer which showed both driveways being kept and the two
properties sharing the western driveway.
Commissioner Lumpp questioned why a title report would not show the approved
Conditional use permit.
Scott Murphy stated that Conditional use permits are not typically recorded. He
said only reciprocal access documents are recorded. He noted that the reciprocal
access agreement is very generic and merely states there is reciprocal access
across all three parcels without specifying drive approach locations or numbers.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if Mr. Sandhu was totally oblivious of the approved
Conditional use permit and plans at the time he purchased the property.
Mr. Sandhu replied he was aware there would be improvements on Foothill Boulevard
and he would end up giving up some property but he was not aware that only one
driveway would be used for the service station and his property. He feared there
will be traffic conflicts when his patrons back out of his parking spaces in
front of his store because they will be backing into the drive aisle for the
service station.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if Mr. Sandhu was aware he would have to give up some
of his property but was unaware there were any other approvals by the City
regarding the property.
Mr. Sandhu said that was correct.
Mr. Jolley said an escrow instruction discusses certain requirements and
improvements on Foothill Boulevard stating that the seller will be responsible
for improving the property per the City's requirements in order to complete the
project on the corner property and the improvements to the subject property will
be on the Foothill Boulevard side of the new property and shall consist of
putting in sidewalks and off-site work per plans approved by the City and
government agencies. He said Mr. Sandhu was therefore aware there would be
sidewalks and a widening of the boulevard. He stated there had been discussions
about driveways and that it was agreed the west driveway would be used by the
service station parcel. He said there were no discussions regarding the
elimination of the west driveway and the installation of parking stalls that will
only benefit the service station.
Comissioner McNiel noted that the escrow instructions mentioned approved plans
of the City and Mr. Sandhu did not seek out the plans.
Mr. Jolley stated that because the instructions said the improvements "shall
consist," Mr. Sandhu thought the plans had not yet been approved..
Commissioner McNiel noted the instructions also said "approved by the City,"
which he felt meant the plans were already approved.
Mr. Jolley said that "shall" is a future tense.

it did mean that the plans were not already approved. He felt that was something
that attorneys and the courts may have to deal with.
Mr. Jolley thought the matter could be settled if the City will allow both
driveways to remain. He thought the matter of landscaping, sidewalks, and the
widening of Foothill Boulevard could be worked out between the property owners.
chairman Barker stated that the normal requirement along Foothill Boulevard is
300 feet and the approved driveway is already less than the 300 feet.
Commissioner McNiel noted it is a safety consideration.
Chairman Barker asked if Mr. Sandhu is opposed to the southern driveway off
Vineyard Avenue.
Mr. Jolley said it was his understanding that it will be in the location of the
present alleyway. He stated Mr. Sandhu is not opposed to that driveway location
or the improvements as shown.
Diana Flores, 3762 Henderson Place, Claremont, stated they showed the plans to
Mr. Sandhu when they first started discussions regarding his purchase of the
property. She said they explained ~he conditions that the City was requiring so
that their project could be completed. She said they walked through the parking
lot and pointed out that the liquor store sign would have to be replaced when the
western driveway was closed and the parking spaces were installed. She commented
the escrow instructions include a paragraph that Mr. Sandhu would be responsible
for future signs for the liquor store when that sign is removed.
Chairman Barker asked if the plan depicted one driveway in the approved location.
Mrs. Flores said that was correct.
Mr. Flores said they sold the property in good faith at their cost.
Mrs. Flores said the approved previous project which had been submitted by Abrams
also showed elimination of the west driveway. She said they do not care if the
western driveway .is eliminated, they just want their project to proceed.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.
Commissioner McNiel felt it would be a benefit to the liquor store to have
traffic travel across in front of their front door. He thought the project will
make the liquor store more attractive. He also thought the parking along
Foothill Boulevard will benefit the liquor store as well as the service station.
He opposed moving the proposed driveway along Foothill Boulevard to the west
because he felt it would be too dangerous to have it closer to the intersection.
Commissioner Lumpp stated the objective of the original approval of the
Conditional use permit was to better the conditions and improve the health and
safety of the area. He was perplexed that Mr. Sandhu was totally oblivious of
actions that were going on with regard to the service station approval and that
he thought the two driveways would remain when only one driveway was proposed and
approved. He noted that testimony had been given that Mr. Sandhu's family was
at the earlier Planning Commission hearing. He agreed with Commissioner McNiel
that the proposed traffic flow would focus on the front door of the liquor store
property and should benefit the store. He thought the project will improve the
property and he was amazed that Mr. Sandhu would be unhappy.

Chairman Barker asked Commissioner ~.umpp to address Mr. Sandhu's attorney's
comment that their objective is to have two driveways.
Commissioner Lumpp thought that one of the objectives of the original Conditional
use permit was to modify the driveway entrances and combine them into one for all
three parcels. He said the City Planner advised him that In-N-Out is well aware
of the requirement to close their driveway and combine it into one driveway to
make a safer condition. He did not believe two driveways is an appropriate
solution, because he felt one combined driveway will make Foothill Boulevard
safer.
Commissioner Tolstoy noted the applicant was asking for two things; 1)
condemnation, which only the City Council has the authority to do; and 2)
elimination of improvements on the liquor store site. He was not ready to
eliminate the improvements on the liquor store site until finding out if the City
Council is ready to initiate condemnation proceedings.
Commissioner Melcher noted that when the project went through the process it was
subjected to several rigorous reviews by the Design Review Committee and
discussed at great length by the Planning Commission. He felt it is a problem
site and the intensity of development now being proposed is too great. He noted
that it is nevertheless an approved project. He thought that what had been
approved represents the very least level of development acceptable to the City
under the circumstances. He stated he was not concerned with the private
property owner's problems. He thought the conditions of approval should not be
changed. He felt that as a Planning Commissioner, his responsibility is to be
sure that development is in the best interest of the City and he did not feel it
to be in the best interest to leave a less than safe driveway condition or to
allow a development to do less than what was intended and live with a blighted
appearance of the liquor store for years to come. He said he. could not support
less than what was previously approved.
Chairman Barker questioned if all of the Commissioners felt there should be only
one driveway on Foothill Boulevard for the three because that would be the safest
condition.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt the driveways should be combined or the property should
be left the way it is.
Commissioner Melcher felt the Commission was not being asked to make a
recommendation to the City Council with regard to the condemnation, but was only
being called upon to diminish the requirements on the Conditional use permit and
he was opposed to doing that. He indicated he was sympathetic to the Flores, but
he felt they had made a business deal which resulted in a business problem. He
did not feel it is the Commission's responsibility to solve business problems.
He thought the Commission is to do the planning for the City and to see that
private development best meets the goals of the City.
Commissioner Lumpp agreed with Commissioner Melcher that it is the Commission's
job to improve the community, not to resolve private property issueB~ He thought
the conditions approved in July 1994 are in the best interest of the community
and protects the health and safety of the community.
Commissioner McNiel asked if it is in the best interest of the community that the
site remains as it currently exists or if the Commission can alter the conditions
to allow development and improvement of the property. He asked what costs would
be incurred by the City if condemnation proceedings are undertaken.

Mr. Hanson stated ~t wo~'-d-.be-m~ e~as~v, endeavor, but the costs would be borne
by the developer.
Commissioner McNiel felt the options are for the City to initiate condemnation,
or the project will probably die. He thought one of the w~ys to arrive at a
solution would be for the City to bring some pressure to bear. He felt the
Commission should approve the requested modifications contingent upon
condemnation action by the City Council.
Commissioner Tolstoy did not want to change any of the conditions until the City
Council makes a decision regarding condemnation proceedings.
Chairman Barker said the Commission could act to approve the request to modify
the Conditional use permit, approve the request contingent upon the City
Council's agreeing to condemnation proceedings, or deny the request. He
suggested the Commission could recommend that there be no changes and could also
recommend that the City Council initiate condemnation procedures in order to
allow the originally approved design.
Mr. Buller said that if the Commission denies the application to amend the
Conditional use permit but recommends that condemnation proceedings be
instituted, the City would then be initiating and paying for the condemnation
proceedings.
Commissioner Melcher observed that the applicant would have the right to appeal
to the City Council if the Commission denies the application and the City Council
could then also consider the condemnation request.

POINT OF HISTORIC INTEREST 95-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

located at 12700 - 12752 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 227-221-03 and 22

RECOMMENDATION
Approval by adoption of the attached Resolution as recommended by the Historic
Preservation Commission and Staff.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Historic Preservation Commission initiated this Application at their meeting on July 12,
1995 and subsequently recommended approval of designating the site as a Point of
Historic Interest by unanimous vote on August 9, 1995.
At the time of the Commission's initiating the Application, the City Historical Resource
Inventory listed the property as potential Local Landmark. A detailed analysis by staff of
the site and applicable historical resources revealed that the facts could not support the
original potential landmark designation, see Exhibit "A." The designation of Point of
Historic Interest is the lowest level of designation under the City Code and carries no
protection from modification or demolition of structures on the site. The Point of Historic
Interest is a means of identifying for information purposes the persons, activities and
events that previously took place on the site; i.e., the development of the Etivista Winery
and its link to the Italian winery families who pioneered the vineyards of the early 1900s
in this area of Etiwanda.

Significant opposition was expressed by individuals associated with the property
immediately to the west (Sacred Heart Church) at the Commission hearing of August 9,
1995, see Exhibit "B." In summary, the points raised in opposition identified the existing
nonconforming uses of the site for truck and vehicle repair and the negative condition of
the site as the reasons to deny designation of the site as a Point of Historic Interest.
Members of the Commission did note that the designation was not in reference to the
existing uses and condition of the site but the previous association with the wineryNineyard
families of the local area. It was also acknowledged by the Commission that the placement
of a future plaque would be sufficient mitigation for the future development of the site.
FACTS FOR FINDING
The recommended facts for findings are included in the attached Resolution of Approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The designation of a property as a Point of Historic Interest is categorically exempt under
Article 19, Section 15308 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
CORRESPONDENCE
This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners

SUBJECT: POINT OF HISTORIC INTEREST 95-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
- A request to designate the Etivista Winery as a Point of Historic Interest,
located at 12742, 12762, 12768, and 12774 Foothill Boulevard
APN: 227-221-03 and 22 through 24.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission initiated this application at their meeting on July 12, 1995 as part of an
in-progress unreinforced masonry building abatement by the City Building Division. At this
previous meeting, the Commission determined that the unreinforced portion of the subject
building could be removed without significant loss to the historical value and there was
sufficient cause to initiate an application for Point of Historic Interest.
ANALYSIS:
A. Architectural Significance and Building Conditions:
The winery is cc;mposed of three main structures, attached by enclosed breezeways
(see Exhibit "B" for site locations). The only portion that is unreinforced masonry is
Building No. 2, built in 1936. This structure is the portion that the Building Department
is abatement of under the unreinforced masonry building code. This building is in
terrible condition with numerous structural cracks. Also, the original construction was
of exceptionally bad quality, as evidenced by the extreme variation of mortar
thickness (varying from 1/8 inch to 3 inches) and exhibiting a number of different
types and sizes of block. The structure is completely hidden from general public view
by its location and the proximity of the other structures.
The other winery structures are primarily poured-in-place concrete. and corrugated
metal. There are some limited areas of masonry infill. Only Building No. I is currently
occupied, with two tenants conducting vehicle repair services. The winery structures
are of an undistinguished industrial style and, except for the remains of a painted sign
on the east side of Building No. 3, are not understood visually as a winery by anyone
passing by the location.

There are other structures on the site: two single-family residences (one is a 1920's
California style bungalow that appears to be in deteriorated condition; the other is
reported to be of the same era, but was remodeled to its present 1950's architectural
style). Also, there is a concrete grape-crushing building and a wood barn of unknown
condition.
B. Historical Significance:
Details concerning the historical aspects of the site were made available by the
Foothill Market Place Oral History project. Oral interviews with Buster Filpi (nephew
of Nick DiCarlo), confirmed Building records that the Etivista Winery was started in
1936. The winery was a partnership between Nick DiCarlo, Frank Shiro, and
Buster Filpi. Undoubtedly, this winery was part of the tremendous growth in wine
making experienced at the end of prohibition. The wine was both bottled and shipped
in bulk to the East. By 1947, Buster Filpi ended his role in the partnership since the
enterprise was not making a profit. It should be noted that many wineries had
difficulties during this period because of over-production and a changing market
according to a publication entitled Cucamonga Wines and Vines: A History of the
Cucamonga Pioneer Vineyard Association, written by James D. Hofer.
The winery continued to produce for five or six more years, ending production in
about 1953 or 1954. Since that time the buildings have held a number of industrial
tenants and are currently held by an out-of-town investor. It does not appear that the
Etivista Winery was ever part of a larger wine-producing consortium such as the
Cucamonga Pioneer Vineyard Association. The facility could be classified as a small-
to medium-sized operation that operated for the relatively short period of
approximately 20 years.
In terms of historical significance, the winery did not play a significant historical role
in the winery industry of the region; i.e., there were, and are, other sites that were
larger and operated longer. The major historical significance is that the original
partnership was composed of related family members that were active in the wine-
making region from the early 1900s to the 1970s at other sites. However, the family
history aspects have been documented and preserved in the oral histories performed
for the Foothill Market Place project. Exhibit "B" shows the historical uses and
occupants of the subject structures.

DIRECTOR'S REPORTS
HISTORIC PROPERTY STATUS REVIEW AND DEMO;.ITION REOUEST - CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA - A request to review the historical level of significance of the
Etivista Winery and the demolition of a portion thereof (unreinforced masonry
building), located at 12700 - 12752 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 227-221-03.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report.
Commissioner McNiel asked if the property is a hazard at this time.
Mr. Henderson replied that it is not currently occupied but could be a liability
if someone were in the building or standing next to it. He observed it is
immediately adjacent to a structure currently being used, and it could
potentially collapse onto that structure. He noted that a variety of types of
block were used in the construction.
111
Chairman Barker requested that staff clarify what the implications would be if
the location is deemed a Point of Historic Interest.
Mr. Henderson replied that it would not require returning to the Commission if
a demolition request is made. He indicated that at the point of develo~nent, the
Commission may wish to require documentation and/or monumentation of the historic
nature of the site similar to what was done at Foothill Marketplace. He said it
would not require reinforcing, rehabilitation, or restoration of the historic
structures.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if the property owner had initiated the request for
demolition of the designated area.
Mr. Henderson responded that under implementation of the City's Unreinforced
Masonry Ordinance, the Building & Safety Division initiated the demolition
request and the property owner has consented and given his tenant permission to
oversee removal of the structure. He said the property owner has received
several notifications from the Building & Safety Division over the last two years
giving options to do a study, retrofit the building, and bring it up to code.
He stated the property owner has elected not to and the only other option i~
demolition.
Commissioner Lumpp thought the Commission had two options: 1) to determine the
site is Surveyed Determined Insignificant or 2) to classify the site as an Point
of Historic Interest. He asked if staff was talking about the entire property
or just the portion that is to be demolished.
Mr. Henderson replied it would be the entire property. He said that a public
hearing would be required in order to classify the site as a Point of Historic
Interest.
Commissioner McNiel asked if a Point of Historic Interest would be commemorated
by a plaque.
Mr. Henderson replied it could range from a plaque up to additional oral
histories. He said he would not recommend HABS/HARES drawings because the
buildi.ngs have been significantly altered over the years. He reported there is
no original equipment from the winery on the site. He stated it has been used
longer for industrial uses than it was for a winery.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the remaining buildings are considered structurally
safe.
Mr. Henderson replied affirmatively. He noted the property now has a non-
conforming use and the property owner has indicated it is an interim use until
the property is ready for.development. He observed that the property is zoned
commercial.
Chairman Barker invited public comments. There were none.
Commissioner Tolstoy suggested that the property be designated as a Point of
Historic Interest so that at the time the property is developed, a plaque could
be placed on the street indicating that it was a winery. He thought that would
tie in well to the Foothill Marketplace across the street and it is good to note
to future residents that there were many-wineries in the area. He felt the
unreinforced masonry building should be removed.
Commissioners McNiel, Melcher, and Lumpp concurred.

COMMISSION~INESS
Commissioner Mel~r observed that Mr. Henderson had been listed on a recent City
Council Agency age~da as a negotiator for what appeared to be an historic
property. He asked'~at property the City was attempting to purchase.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
POINT OF HISTORIC INTEREST 95-01 '- CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to
designate the Etivista Winery as a Point of Historic Interest, located at
12700 - 12752 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 227-221-03 and 22 through 24.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman Barker asked what limitations would be placed on the property if it were
designated an Historic Point of Interest.
Mr. Henderson replied none whatsoever. He said that the Commission would review
the site when development is proposed and the Commission may determine it is
appropriate to further identify the site by perhaps requiring a plaque. He
observed such a condition has been applied at other Historic Point of Interest
sites.
Chairman Barker asked if a plaque is mandatory.
Mr. Henderson responded it is not.
Chairman Barker asked if designation would prohibit destruction of buildings.
Mr. Henderson replied it would not.
Commissioner Melcher asked if there have been instances in the past and if the
authority exists for requiring more than the placing of a plaque.
Mr. Henderson stated that under the California Environmental Quality Act, more
conditions can be applied depending upon the City's determination of how severe
the impact is in terms of resource lost and determining an appropriate
mitigation. He felt it would probably be determined that this property would be
the lowest level of resource lost. He noted that across the street at Foothill
Marketplace, there were several separate historical resources which were local
landmark designation level. He said an analysis determined the structures could
not stay there and it was determined that proper mitigation would include the
moving of several residences, oral histories, a public art program, and donation
of funds to an historic preservation project and the site was then designated a
Point of Historic Interest. In said that in this case, the City has indicated
there is not that level of value on the site and he would not expect such a level
of mitigation.
Commissioner Melcher asked if after discussion, the Commission determined that
a plaque should be all that is required upon development, if the minute records
of tonight's meeting would be sufficient to reasonably assure that only a plaque
would be requested.
Mr. Henderson responded affirmatively.
Chairman Barker opened the public hearing.
Walter Blair, 1436 North Euclid Avenue, Ontario, stated that his wife is a
surviving offspring of Frank and Minnie Schiro. He said his wife and Buster
Filpi could not be at the meeting this evening. He stated they had talked with
surviving members of the family and they felt the building itself has no
significance but they would welcome a plaque to note the spot.
Father Fred Gaglia, Pastor of Sacred Heart Church, 12704 North Foothill
Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he was speaking as a private citizen and also
as an agent of the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Bernardino, the owner of the
adjacent property. He opposed the designation of a Point of Historical Interest.
He thought such a designation would be an embarrassment to the City because it
represents a failed operation and the property is currently unkept. He said the
church has had to endure a pollution of sound and fumes from the present
operation with the mechanics working until 3:00 a.m. He noted that police chases
have 6aken place on the property because transients and criminals hide there.
He said chickens and ducks have been raised on the property and polluted the
church and transgressed onto church property. He suggested that historical
records be maintained only on library shelves instead of placing plaques on
properties. He thought nothing should be done that would impact any of the
properties on the north side of Foothill Boulevard or mitigate the church
property. He felt plaques and presentations should be made only at the request
of families and only for those families who remain in the area and have not
moved. He said the Public Resource Code Division 5 for Parks and Mo.numents
indicates that the property to receive designation should be the first, last, and
only or most significant historical property of its type in the region. He
requested denial of the designation.
Richard Johnson, 12704 North Foothill, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he is a member
of the parish. Me said he supports Route 66 as an historical resource and has
traveled Route 66 many times. He indicated that he has questioned why some
plaques along the highway were erected. He ~aid he had never heard of the
Etivista Winery until last Sunday in church. He noted there is nothing in any
of his publications on Route 66 to note that a winery ever existed there. He
said he visited the Route 66 Visitor's Center and Bob Lundy had never heard of
it either. He noted that the staff report indicated the winery did not play a
HPC Minutes -2-
August 9, 1995
significant historical role in the winery industry of the region. He thought the
winery had faded away and the City should just let if fade away.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Melcher stated there must have been over 10,000 uses along Route 66
that have faded into oblivion and weren't of any significance to anyone. He did
not feel a designation of a Point of Historic Interest would magnify the
importance of what went on there or is an effort to associate this particular
property and use with the history of Route 66. He noted it is a local
designation of interest to no more than those people in this immediate area who
are interested in what has gone on in the past history of the City.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt designation is important because it is a part of the
heritage of the community. He expressed surprise that a person who supports the
historical significance of Highway 66 would not want to add any additional
prominent happenings to the long list of things Route 66 already recognizes.
Commissioner McNiel stated that the purpose of local identifications is to
identify the families and people who were involved in enterprises that existed
in the area, whether the enterprises failed or succeeded. He said such people
contributed to the community generations before us. He noted the proposed degree
of designation is minimal, not requiring the preservation of any buildings. He
said the community existed because of wine growing grapes and he thought the
majority of the grape growing businesses failed because there are not any
currently producing wineries. He thought the City should preserve the small
amount of history which remains and can be identified as a long term resource.
He noted that when something is lost, it is gone forever.
Commissioner Lumpp noted. that within the City of Rancho Cucamonga there are three
to four failed businesses where the City stepped in to preserve the structures,
including the old service station near the corner of Archibald and Foothill. He
said he supported the designation of a Point of Historic Interest precisely
because there are hundreds of people who live in the community and do not know
that a winery was located there. He felt it important that people know the use
was here, whether it be by marker or some other way. He noted the City is not
requiring that the buildings be retained nor prohibiting any development. He
felt the action merely shows that the Historical Preservation Commission wishes
to retain some semblance of something that happened in the past.
Chairman Barker felt the building is not worth saving. He said the Filippi
family is the only family that is actively producing wine in town. He expressed
concern about a sentiment of pretending that nothing happened there so it would
all go away. He felt it represents a part of the City's history, and not all
history is good.
Commissioner Melcher observed the Commission was talking about recognizing a
Point of Historic Interest that the site was once part of the wine industry, not
about celebrating police chases, raising of chickens, or an automobile repair
garage.

recommending designation of the Etivista Winery as a Point of Historic Interest.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A POINT OF HISTORIC
INTEREST 95-01 TO DESIGNATE THE ETIVISTA WINERY, LOCATED AT
12742, 12762, 12768, and 12774 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, AS A POINT
OF HISTORIC INTEREST - APN: 227-221-03 AND 22 THROUGH 24.
A. Recitals.
1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has filed an application for a Point of Historic Interest
as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Point of
Historic Interest is referred to as "the application."
2. On August 9, 1995, the Historic Preservation Commission conducted a public hearing
on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
3. On September 20, 1995, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted
a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded the hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the City Council
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part "A," of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The application applies to approximately 4.20 acres of land, basically four parcels of
rectangular configuration, located at 12742, 12762, 12768, and 12774 Foothill Boulevard.
3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above-
referenced public hearing on September 20, 1995, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, and pursuant to Section 2.24.090 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code, the City Council hereby makes the following findings and facts:
A: Historical and Cultural Significance:
Finding 1:
The proposed Point of Historic Interest was connected
with someone renowned or important or a local
personality.
FactJS:
Oral interviews with Buster Filippi (nephew in-law of Nick
DiCarlo), confirmed building records that the Etivista
Winery was started in 1936. The winery was a
partnership between Nick DiCarlo, Frank Shiro, and
Buster Filippi. Undoubtedly this winery was part of the
tremendous growth in wine-making experienced at the
end of prohibition. These three families were very
instrumental in the establishment of the ethnically diverse
vintner community of the Cucamonga Valley Wine
Region.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.
POI 95-01 - ETIVISTA WINERY
September 20, 1995
Page 2
Finding 2:
The proposed Point of Histodc Interest is connected with
a business or use which was once common but is now
rare.
Fact/s:
In terms of historical significance, the winery did not play
a significant historical role in the winery industry of the
region; i.e., there were, and are, other sites that were
larger and operated longer. The major historical
significance is that the original partnership was
composed of related family members that were active in
the wine-making region from the early 1900s to the
1970s at other sites. At the height of winery production,
the Cucamonga Winery Region boasted 99 operating
wineries. Presently, there are approximately 6 remaining
sites that retain varying degrees of historical value within
the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
4. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the project identified above in this
Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,
as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15308.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
the City Council hereby resolves that pursuant to Chapter 2.24 of the Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code, that the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby approves Point of Historic Interest
95-01.

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION TO IMPLEMENT PHASE TWO OF THE
GOVERNMENT ACCESS PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider implementation of Phase Two of the Government Access
Program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Phase One of the Govemment Access Channel (RCTV-3) began on July 24, 1995, with the
broadcast of a Community Calendar format. Phase Two would consist of broadcasting
governmental-type tapes that would be of interest to the public; e.g., public safety tapes, tapes
from the League of California Cities and other tapes dealing with governmental activities.
Staff recommends the purchase of 3 VHS Decks at $327 each, 3 Computer/VCR interface
modules at $115 each, and 3 Computer/VCR interface cables at $130 each for a total
expenditure of $1,716 to support Phase Two of the program. These costs would be funded out of
account 70-276-501, the PEG Access account established for that purpose. The current balance
in the account is $173,817.55.
To broadcast from City Hall, and to allow for immediate access to the equipment, a return line
will need to be constructed. There are two altematives, the first being a simple return line, which
Marks is required to provide per the franchise agreement. It is established by using cable already
in place and amplifying it. The second alternative is a dedicated line that would be used only by
the City. Because of the technical problems associated with a return line - it can be unreliable, in
need of frequent maintenance and have poor signal quality - it has been recommended that the
City install a dedicated line that will run from City Hall to the head end on Archibald. The cost
for a dedicated line is $24,507.25. Because Marks would be required to put in the return line at a
cost of $5,692.15, they are deducting that amount from the cost of the dedicated line making the
total cost $18,815.10. Marks CableVision has indicated it will take approximately one month to
complete the line. The cost for this line will be credited against Marks PEG Access payments.

DISCUSSION OF AFFINITY CREDIT CARD FOR CITY LIBRARY
BACKGROUND
Councilmember Diane Williams recently came across an article in the L.A. Times concerning the
use of credit cards by governmental agencies. This somewhat novel approach to revenue
generation is locally being considered by the City of Culver City. Ms. Williams has asked that it
be brought before City Council for discussion.
FINDINGS
The use of credit cards by governmental agencies is very new; they are referred to as affinity
credit cards. Typically, the card features the City's logo or prominent feature of the City and is
offered by the local bank. Revenue is negotiable and can be based upon outstanding balances
and interest rates, as well as, the cost of the card issuance. Several months ago, staff did a very
cursory investigation to determine revenue opportunities for the City. At the time, it was felt that
the revenue was too modest to consider as an alternative source for operational dollars.
However, Councilmember Williams' suggestion that the affinity card could assist the Library's
coffers deserves further investigation. Library staff feels this may be an opportunity for local
residents to support their library through use of such a card.
The attached article from the L.A. Times provides some information about a few cities
nationwide which have undertaken the use of affinity cards.

Opportunities for City issued credit card
In reference to the attached article from the August 30 Los
Angeles Times, "Looking for Gold in Plastic" I believe this
has great potential if we act quickly. The possibilities are
numerous but of course my first thought was that this could be
a way to create operating funds for the library without
impacting any other city budgets. Sort of brings a new
perspective to the term "library card" doesn't it?
Would you please have someone follow up on this and see if it
is something we might implement in the near future? My first
thought would be that one of the local banks such as Foothill
Independent or Vineyard might be willing to work with us.
The article refers to "civic pride of the city's residents and
the credit card debt they carry" as important factors in the
success of a municipal credit card. I think you'll agree that
no city around has greater civic pride than we do and my guess
is that our citizens carry a substantial amount of credit card
debt. We know the citizens have embraced the library with
pride and I believe we would get positive acceptance of such a
card. As we discussed recently, the budget needs of the
library will continue to increase and the projections for
property tax revenues are not likely to improve soon.
I would like the whole Council to discuss this, therefore, I'm
requesting that it be placed under "Council Business" on the
next (Sept. 20) City Council agenda. Meanwhile, I'll look
forward to what the preliminary research uncovers.

Following others,
Culver City will
introduce its own credit
card in parmership with
a local bank.
By MARY MOORE
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES AUGUST 30, 1995
General Motors has a credit card.
So does the Sierra Club. So
· why not Culver City?
With hopes of painlessly rais-
ing revenue, the city will put its name
on a credit card issued by a local bank
and receive a part of the interest on
credit card balances that customers
carry from month to month.
Culver National Bank has set the
interest at 16.95%. The city will receive
0.5% in the first year and 1.5% in
following years.
~ne bank will issue city Visa and
MasterCards for a $20 annual fee and
gold cards for $50 a year.
Culver City's card, known in the
industry as an affinity card, will not be
the first of its kind, although the origin
of the municipal credit cards is not clear.
South Orange, N.J., is credited by
many with issuing the first city card last
December- But officials in PIano, TeL,
say they were first with a card in 1993.
The idea is catching on. San Francis-
' eo's Board of Supervisors has approved
the issuance of a credit card and a phone
card; and the city expects revenues of
up to $7 million a year.
New York City might issue a credit
card by the end of the year, said Bill
, Calabrese, president of the village of
South Orange. Calabrese is working with
New York officials to develop the card.
What is unique about Culver City's
proposal is that the city would earn a
percentage of the debt carried by card-
holders. Other cities take a percentage
of customers' credit card purchases--
usually 1% or, in the case of San
Francisco, 3%.
Culver City Councilman Albert Vera,
who proposed issuing the city card, said
he had not realized it was possible to set
the card up so that the city received a
percentage of purchases.
"We have to start somewhere," he
said, "and if we have to modify the card
later. we can do that."
Affinity cards--already used by
some charities--generate revenue
with little if any cost to the city or
agency.
In Culver City, officials and bank
executives declined to say how much
revenue they expect to generate from
the card.
Some council members doubt that the
card will bring in much additional
money. Councilman Mike Balkman said:
"It's not going to be a situation where
people will say they'll choose their
Culver City card over other ones."
But Vera is optimistic that the cards
will earn enough money to lower city
taxes. He is lobbying his council col-
leaguea to earmark any card revenues
for that purpose.
Mayor Steve Gourley says the city
should deposit the money in its general
fund, adding, "I don't think it's a good
idea to earmark anything for anything."
The bank will market the card, deco-
rated with a picture of the new City
Hall, to its estimated 4,000 customers,
most of whom live in Culver City or
nearby.
The success of Culver City's card
depends on two things.. the civic pride of
the city's residents and the credit card
debt they carry.
Bank officials view the card as a way
to gain customers' and build a stronger
relationship with both its customers and
the city.
"When Albert [Veral contacted us a
year ago, we weren't sold on the idea,"
said Culver National President John
Newhouse.
Bank officials were concerned about
issuing any credit cards, whether a city
card or not, because of problems with
card theft and unpaid bills, he said.
"But then we decided it was a win-
win situation. The city could earn
money, and maybe we could get more
business from it."
' n PIano, city officials have been able
· to funnel about $700 a month to local
arts program from its credit card.
But South Orange has been the true
success story. Since the village began
marketing its card last year to its 17,000
residents, it has generated about $5,000
a month and expects to earn $100,000 by
the end of this year, Calabrese said.

INFORMATION FOR
RANCHO CUCAMONGA CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 20, 1995
I. Executive Summary
Cadiz Land Company, Inc. (the Company) is a NASDAQ-Iisted agricultural and land
development firm founded in 1983. Through a series of land purchases and exchanges,
the Company has acquired ownership of more than 31,000 acres (approximately 50
square miles) in the Cadiz and Fenner valleys of eastern San Bemardino County,
California. The location of the Cadiz area is shown in Figure 1.
Over the past 10 years, the Company has developed approximately 1,500 acres of citrus
orchards, vineyards, and various row crops on its Cadiz property. Over the next five
years, the Company plans to cultivate an additional 8,000 acres of agricultural land.
The Company's hydrological investigations and groundwater pumping have
demonstrated that its landholdings overlie several million acre-feet of high quality
groundwater, with active recharge from drainage basins covering approximately 1,300
square miles. This volume of groundwater is substantially greater than that required for
the Company's projected agricultural needs. Accordingly, in January of 1994 the
Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mojave Water Agency'
(MWA) to determine the feasibility of providing supplemental water to an area that is in
chronic overdraft. Independent engineering feasibility studies by the Ralph M. Parsons
Company and by NBS/Lowry-Psomas have demonstrated that it is technically and
economically feasible to transfer between 30,000 and 50,000 acre-feet of surplus water
per year from the Company's well field to the Colorado River Aqueduct via a 30-mile
pipeline. Work has now commenced on environmental studies required to implement
this project.
Farmers are conscientious stewards of natural resources. In order to manage its land
and water resources, the Company employs state-of-the-art water conservation practices
and conducts a comprehensive groundwater monitoring program. These practices play
a critical role in the success of the Company's agricultural operations. Figure 2 presents
a view of a portion of the Company's vineyards.

H. The Groundwater Resource
Most Of the groundwater recharge to the Company's property originates as precipitation
within the Fenner Valley drainage basin, which covers an area of approximately 1,140
square miles. The highest of the mountain ranges within the basin reaches elevations of
over 7,500 feet and receives in excess of 10 inches of average annual precipitation.
Additional recharge to the project area occurs from Orange Blossom Wash, which drains
southward from the Granite Mountains and covers an area of approximately 135 square
miles. This mountain range reaches elevations of over 6,500 feet and also receives in
excess of 10 inches of average annual precipitation. The locations of these recharge
basins in relation to the Company's landholdings are shown in Figure 3.
During major winter and summer storms, runoff in the mountainous areas of the drain-
age basin flows into the alluvial fans which flank the mountains, and there enters into the
groundwater system. Some of this groundwater is tapped by vegetation and transpired
near the range fronts. That which is not transpired, percolates down gradient through
Fenner gap (located between the Marble and Ship mountains), beneath the Company's
lands, and on to Bristol and Cadiz dry lakes where it is discharged by evaporation. Total'
groundwater recharge to this system is estimated at approximately 20,000 acre-feet per
year (URS Consultants, Inc., 1993). The total volume of groundwater in storage in the
Fenner, Bristol, and Cadiz basins is estimated at 5,600,000, 7,000,000, and 4,300,000
acre-feet, respectively, by the California Department of Water Resources (1975; Kahrl,
1979).
The Company's exploration work over the past decade has included extensive geophysi-
cat surveys, the drilling of ten exploratory test holes and utility wells, and the construc-
tion, long-term testing, and utilization of seven full-scale irrigation wells. Figure 4
illustrates the generalized contour of water levels underlying the project area as mea-
sured in accessible wells and test holes. Figure 5 depicts the estimated thickness of
alluvial sediments underlying the project area. This map, based on two independent
gravity surveys, indicates that structurally controlled basins underlying the project area
reach depths of over 3,000 feet.
The Company's irrigation wells, located in and adjacent to the cultivated sections, each
produce from 1,500 to over 2,000 gpm. Water quality from these wells ranges from
approximately 230 to 300 ppm total dissolved salts. The depth of the water table
beneath this portion of the Company's property ranges from approximately 150 to 215
feet.

In January of 1994 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the
Mojave Water Agency (MWA) to determine the feasibility of providing supplemental
water to its service area, a region that is in chronic overdraft. Independent engineering
feasibility studies by the Ralph M. Parsons Company and by NBS/Lowry-Psomas have
demonstrated that it is technically and economically feasible to transfer between 30,000
and 50,000 acre-feet of surplus water per year from the Company's well field to the
Colorado River Aqueduct via a 30-mile pipeline. Work has now commenced on envi-
ronmental studies required to implement this project.

HI. Agriculture
When 'the Company decided to buy property in the Mojave Desert, it was taking a step
into the unknown. No agricultural projects had been attempted in the region before.
During the past 10 years the Company has succeeded in supplying the market with top
quality produce and in establishing the "Route 66" brand.
Grapes
Grapes were the first crops to be planted, in February 1986, once the land had been
prepared for development. Red Flame and Thompson seedless varieties were the first to
be harvested. Even in the early years crop yields were excellent, but 1994 saw produc-
tion totals soar as the vineyard continued to mature. Cadiz Valley's cooler winters help
promote dormancy in the vineyards, which in turn encourages better crops in the follow-
ing season.
As the 800 acres of vines continue to mature, the Company expects yields to improve
steadily. To date, the Company's table grapes have been shipped both nationally and
internationally under its "Route 66" label. With the ability to fill a gap between the more
southe~y Coachella production and that of the San Joaquin Valley to the north, the
Company is ideally situated to expand its share of the grape market in the coming years.
Unlike some growers, who holdover early grapes in coolers to bridge the harvest gap,
the Company is able to compete with more desirable fresh grapes.
In 1993, the Company decided to commit a portion of the vineyard to raisins, an experi-
ment which proved highly successful and is likely to be repeated in future years accord-
ing to market demand.
Citrus
This was an obvious product choice for Cadiz Valley, with its ideal microclimate of hot
days and cool nights. In 1989, the company planted 560 acres of a broad range of citrus
varieties, including Lisbon Lemons, Valencia Oranges, Minneolas, Royal Mandarins and
Fairchild Tangerines. With the different varieties harvested at various times from Sep-
tember through March, the Company is in production throughout the fall and winter
months.
CADE
tllB CIMPWI~ lit
The Company's first lemon crop in 1993 was surprisingly large, given the tender age of
the trees and the fact that 1990 had been the year of the "big freeze". The Company
attributes this to superior soil, excellent water quality, and a pollutant-free environment.
The Company projects its lemon harvest in the future to be as great as 200,000 boxes,
with at least 30% being shipped under the Sunkist "fancy" grade.
Page 9
Melons and More
The Company has begun expansion of its agricultural development into new crops. A
honeydew melon venture of 80 acres was planted in February 1995 for spring harvest.
An additional 160 acres has also been planted with vegetable row crops. By expanding
its range of crops, the Company hopes to prove the project's flexibility and seal its
reputation as a success in desert agriculture.

IV. Rail.Cycle
The viability of both the present and future agricultural operations in the Cadiz Valley
are threatened by the proposed Rail-Cycle project: a proposal to import waste from Los
Angeles and out of state, and to create the largest solid waste dump in the United States.
Rail-Cycle is a joint venture between Waste Management, Inc. and the Santa Fe Rail-
road.
The size and associated environmental impacts of the project are unprecedented. Situ-
ated on a 5,000 acre site, the dump would span three miles in length, one mile in width
and four-hundred feet in height (that of a forty-story building). As the nation's largest
solid waste dump, it would import 21,000 tons of trash per day, for approximately 100
years. Waste would be transported via double-stacked rail cars which would operate
24-hours a day.
The proposed Rail-Cycle project, as outlined in the Environmental Impact Report/
Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) to San Bernardino County, would threaten
agriculture in Cadiz Valley and food-grade chemical production at Bristol Lake.
Agriculture and mining are two leading industries in San Bernardino County. In an era
when local governments are publicly competing for solid waste to fill their under-utilized
land fills, the need for a dump in the Cadiz area is highly dubious. The proposed
Rail*Cycle project demonstrates a lack of forethought and a casual indifference to its
adverse environmental impacts.
The location of the Company's property and agricultural development in relation to the
proposed RailoCycle dump is shown in Figure 7.

V. Adverse Impacts of Proposed Rail. Cycle Dump
A. Groundwater Contamination
All dumps, including those with state-of-the-art landfill liner systems, leak. Contamina-
tion of entire groundwater basins can result when methane gas or leachate comes into
contact with underlying groundwater. No land fill or liner system has ever proven to be
free of leaks.
If approved by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, Rail-Cycle would be
the nation's largest dump. Because of its size, unprecedented amounts of leachate and
methane gas will be created. Because of its proximity to the Cadiz groundwater basin,
leaking methane gas and leachate would come into direct contact with and contaminate
the groundwater underlying the area.
B. Potential Ground Rupture
In spite of evidence of recent seismic activity in proximity to the proposed Rail-Cycle
dump, the public has been told by the county to rest assured since, "current state law
requires landfills to be set back 200 feet on either side of an active fault" (FEIR/EIS p
D-12).
Figure 7 shows the locations of mapped fault zones in proximity to the proposed dump.
Each of these fault zones is reported by independent investigators to have undergone
movement during the "Quaternary period" (which includes the Pleistocene and Ho-
locene epochs) and they are therefore classified as either Active or Potentially Active
under the definitions of the Califomia Public Resources Code.
C. Flood and Erosion Risks
Figure 8 illustrates the topographic setting of the proposed Rail. Cycle dump. The site
lies at the base of the Orange Blossom Wash drainage which covers an area of approxi-
mately 135 square miles. This basin receives runoff from the Granite Mountains, which
reach elevations of over 6,500 feet. The potential for catastrophic flooding, debris
flows, and erosion of the proposed dump is significant and unmitigateable.
CADIZ
till ClMPII'P IIC.
Page 14
The Rail.Cycle FEIR/EIS states, "it is acknowledged that a retum period of over 100
years is appropriate for the design of some structures, such as dams and levees. The
Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) design basis issued by the Califomia Depart-
ment of Water Resources for the design of dams takes into account the high risks associ-
ated with the potential breach of a dam". The FEIR/EIS then proceeds to state that
"evaluation of a storm return period of over 100 years is not required by state (CCR
Ti~e 23) or federal (Subtitle D) regulations to assess the potential flooding impacts
associated with the proposed landfill". The Rail.Cycle proponents have failed to
adequately investigate and document flood and erosion risks associated with the pro-
posed dump.
D. Air Pollution from Proposed Dump
D- 1. Regional Air Quality Impacts
The proposed Rai!.Cycle project would create more air pollution than any other
project in San Bernardino County. The adverse impacts of this pollution are
both environmental and economic.
Environmentally, the project would generate so much new pollution that federal
air quality laws would have to be changed before the project could obtain its
final approval. Its major sources of air pollution are unregulated diesel locomo-
tives used to transport trash from Los Angeles ~o eastem San Bernardino County
and methane gas created from the decomposition of buried trash. Ironically, the
Rail-Cycle project would create more air pollution than the controversial
"Miliken Waste-to-Energy" project, a project that was rejected by the County
Board of Supervisors because of its adverse air quality impacts.
Economically, the project would have a devastating impact on new and expand-
ing businesses in the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District ("region").
Future business enterprises, to offset their air pollution impacts, would be re-
quired to purchase air pollution credits. The proposed RailoCycle project would
compete with every other business enterprise in the region to purchase air pollu-
tion credits. Because of the sheer volume of air pollution Rail.Cycle would
create, it is arguable that a sufficient number of air pollution credits exist to
offset its air quality impacts. Regardless, it is not likely that the average small
business can afford to compete with Waste Management, Inc. For this reason,
new and expanding businesses would be forced to locate elsewhere, outside the
region.

D-2. Local Air Quality Impacts (Windbome Dispersal of Pollutants from
Surface of Bristol Lake)
Figure 9 presents two photographs taken at the Company's agricultural opera-
tions during October, 1994 by Louis Gonzalez, Farm Manager. These photo-
graphs show massive dust storms caused by windbome dispersal of fine-grained
sediments and chemical precipitates from the surface of Bristol Lake. Mr.
Gonzalez's records during the past six years at Cadiz indicate that major dust
storms off the surface of Bristol Lake occur episodically at a rate of approxi-
mately four to six times per year. These dust storms are frequently severe
enough to impede visibility at the Cadiz agricultural operations, at distances as
great as ten miles from the eastern margin of Bristol Lake. During such dust
storms field operations are suspended in the interest of worker safety.
The potential for windborne dispersal of such pollutants from the surface of
Bristol Lake has not been addressed in the Rail.Cycle EIR/EIS documentation.
E. Pest and Disease Vectors from Proposed Dump
The potential environmental impact of the proposed dump to native .V..¢getation and to
existing agricultural development at Cadiz, due to introduction o.f..pest and disease
vectors, has not been adequately addressed in the EIR/EIS documentation. No similar
dumps currently exist in proximity to commercial pest and disease-free agricultural
developments. The Rail.Cycle EIR/EIS has no credible basis for dismissing the risk of
immediate and permanent damage to the Company's agricultural operations.
Infestation by Mediterranean Fruit Fly is the most recent of several insect related agri-
cultural disasters to have occurred in recent years throughout California. Mr. Larry Yee,
the director of the University of California Cooperative Extension and a member of
Ventura County's special Medfly task force is quoted as saying that "the, Medflies most
likely were transported to the area in some sort of contaminated fruit or soil that could
have come from anywhere in the world" (The Packer, October 10, 1994). In an emer-
gency effort to salvage the estimated $850 million agriculture industry in Ventura
County, state officials approved immediate aerial spraying with the controversial insecti-
cide, Malathion.
Similar disastrous infestations have occurred in Southern California with the White Fly.
Imperial County farmers have been forced to fallow hundreds of acres of f~i~"'land
ordinarily planted with fall and spring melons. Mosaic Virus, transmitted by aphids, has
been responsible for forcing similar moratoriums on several row crops in the Salinas
Valley. Growing governmental and market pressures for reduction of pesticide use have
limited the means with which to mitigate infestations once they occur. Such pressures
often leave no alternatives other than crop abandonment.
Page 16
The allegations by Rail,Cycle and its consultants that the proposed dump is compatible
with existing agricultural operations in the Cadiz area are unsupported and without
merit.

ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE UPDATE
On September 19, 1995, the Route 30 Task Force convened in the Tri-Communities Room at City
Hall. The Task Force has not met since June 21, 1995, due to summer vacations.
The first discussion item was presented by Caltrans and was on the Route 30/Sapphire issue. A1
Hudgens from Cattrans indicated they have been studying the issue and have determined that an
approach they had felt might be possible, in terms of acquisition of additional fight-of-way was not
t~asible. Mr. Hudgens indicated Caltrans will continue to work on this area tbr the purpose of
'reducing the cost of this portion of the project. Caltrans will report back to the Task Force at a future
date when their findings are complete.
'Fhe second item of discussion was the I-15/Route 30 Interchange. Chairman Alexander opened this
portion of the meeting to question and discussion. There were one or two questions regarding this
issue. Plans showing the landscaping and circulation for this interchange project were displayed.
It was the consensus of the Task Force this issue, which had previously been reviewed by the Task
Force, was complete and no further input from the Task Force was necessary.
The last issue on the agenda ~vas the discussion of the Phasing. At the request of SANBAG this item
was postponed for a future meeting.
The Task Force agreed to change the meeting date for the next meeting from October 10 to October
17, 1995. The agenda item for this next meeting will be discussion of interchanges.

INTERPRETATIVF, MUI,T-PURPOSE TRAIl ,S
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve the attached resolutions authorizing City Staff to apply
for grant funding through the State of California Park and Recreation Department. Both grants
require fifty percent matching funds which will be budgeted in future fiscal years as funds become
available.
BACKGROUND/ANAl ,YSIS
Applications are due to the State Park and Recreation Department by October 2, 1995 for the Land
and Water Conservation Fund and the Habitat Conservation Fund. Staff is recommending the
following projects for application to the State for the grant funds.
Don Tapia Park
This park site is located on Alta Cuesta Drive south of Base Line Road and adjacent to the
Cucamonga Creek Channel. Park and street improvements have been prepared by a design
consultant.
Improvements for this facility will include multi-purpose trails, tot lot, restroom, parking lot, open
space/picnic amenities as well as an interpretative garden for water conservation methods. Park
improvement construction costs would be approximately $750,000 of which staff would apply for
$250,000 from the Land & Water Conservation Fund. The balance of the funding would be
budgeted in Funds 20 (Park Development) and Fund 21 (Beautification) in the FY 96/97.
Frontage street improvements for Alta Cuesta Drive are approximately $100,000, proposed funding
for FY 96/97 would be from Proposition 111 (Fund 10).
Northeast Park
This park site is located on East Avenue north of Summit Avenue, adjacent to Summit Intermediate
School. The first 10-12 acres in under design and due to begin construction in Winter of 1996.
Phase 1 will include Soccer/football fields, restroom facilities, parking lot, tot lot, passive open areas
with picnic amenities and open space play area.
Staff is applying for $200,000 from the Habitat Conservation Fund to expand the trail system with
the first phase of construction at Northeast Park. This grant matches 50% of local funds which we
already have for the park. The funds would go towards completing an interpretative multi-purpose
trail system in the Riversidian sage scrub habitat area located in the easterly 20 acres of the park.
