A General This protect is located within the Etiwanda Speafic Plan and includes several
particular site and architectural design regwrements A different developer, Lennar
Homes, originally planned the subtect site The current developer, Pulte Homes, is
providing their larger home product for this phase of the entire tract in keeping with the
larger lot sizes in this portion of the tract The other phases wdl introduce a smaller home
product The lot sizes in this phase average about 13,637 square feet in area and are
proposed to accommodate both single and two-story plan homes ranging from 2,788 to
3,584 square feet in floor area This phase includes the passive-activity park of the three
park sites approved with this tract Lennar Homes was regwred to box the mature olive
trees for future transplanting into their park areas, however, the trees died Pulte Homes
has located mature olive trees as replacements
Prior to 1990, a retaining floodwall was erected (extending underground) on the easterly
boundary of the subject site to protect the development of the homes on abutting Tract
13566 A 5-foot wide permanent easement for the purposes of maintaining this wall runs
along the protect side of the wall The applicant has designed an arrangement that
respects the easement and wdl allow access for maintenance by both the new
homebuyers and the homeowners in Tract 13566 There wdl be open fenang in the back
yards along the 5-foot easement and access across the easement from one end to the
other The new homebuyers may not make any improvements on the easement or block
the maintenance access by the abutting property owners from Tract 13566 (Exhibit "F")
B Design Review Committee The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Fong) reviewed the protect
on August 3, and September 14, 2004, and recommended approval subject to finalizing
the tree replacement, improving the architectural design elements, and providing
architectural elevations along the mayor streets that enhance the streetscape (Exhibit "D")
The applicant worked with staff and the Design Review Committee to address these
recommendations The tree issues have been addressed including the removal of the
easterly property line windrow because of infestation and disease, subject to the standard
replacement outside the 5-foot wide wall maintenance easement noted above The olive
and oak trees will be replaced in the park areas The rear elevations that face the
proposed extension of Wardman Bullock Road had balconies and other substantial

DESIGN REVIEW DRC2004-00491 - PULTE HOMES, INC -The reviewofsite plan and elevations
for 93 single-family detached homes on a portion of the previously approved Tentative Tract Map
14759, located south of Wilson Avenue along Wardman-Bullock Road in the Low Residential
Distnct (2-4 dwelling units per acre) - APN 0226-102-17
Desion Parameters The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT14759 on
November 10, 1999 The applicant is now proceeding with proposals to design homes for the tract
The tract will be developed in four phases This current application request is for the phase that
includes the 93 large lots in the northeast comer of the onginal tract. The tract is south of Wilson
Avenue at Wardman-Bullock Road The pro)ect is located in the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
Under the Etiwanda Specific Plan, this portion of the entire tract is developed under the Basic
Development Standards and no specific architectural style is required, however, elements of the
existing styles found in Etiwanda are required. The other portion of the tract (not a part of this
request) is developed under the Optional Development Standards and the Etiwanda Specific Plan
suggests the traditional architectural styles for Etiwanda Victonan, Califomia Bungalow, Califomia
Ranch, any other integrated design style meeting plan intent.
Staff Comments
Major Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this protect:
1 The list of traditional architectural styles given in the Etiwanda Specific Plan does not include
"Cottage" and "Early Califomia "Staff worked with the applicant to increase the level of detail
of each design. These styles have been approved for other tracts within Etiwanda
2 The approval for this tract took into account several issues with trees in the site. Mitigation
conditions were set for several cases; however, staff can address dunng plan check
a The transplanting of a grove of Olive trees elsewhere on the site. These trees are not on
the current proposed conceptual landscape plan
b The replanting of Eucalyptus windrows No Eucalyptus replanting is proposed on the
current proposed conceptual Landscape Plan The requirement is for 5-gallon trees at
8-foot spacing at a rate of 50 linear feet of windrow per acre
c The preservation of the Eucalyptus windrow on the easterly boundary of the protect
This windrow is not noted on the current proposed conceptual Landscape Plan
d The Coastal Live Oak tree near the northeast of the site is to be transplanted. No Oak
trees are shown on the current proposed conceptual Landscape Plan
Secondary Issues Once all of the orator issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues
1 The Etiwanda Specific Plan requires that at least 50 percent of the dwellings not be plotted
parallel to the street The general intent is to break up the typical monotonous rectilinear
N pattern by having a great number of the houses sited askew to the street and to each other

The siting of many of the houses shows little discernable skewing The skewed houses are
bunched together, as well as the parallel houses Intermingling of the two onentations would
be best
Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planrnng Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the protect design without discussion.
As this portion of the tract was approved under the Basic Development Standards, and Lots 4,
11, 13, 86, and 89 exceed the maximum lot coverage of 30 percent, the size of the footpnnts
for the houses must be reduced
Staff Recommendation• Staff recommends the Committee review the proposal and provide
comments on the design and continue the item for further review
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present. Fletcher, Fong, McPhail
Staff Planner Vance Pomeroy
The project was continued to give the applicant an opportunity to address the following issues
1 Olive tree replacements: Work with staff. The non-fruiting vanety is okay, but it must be the
largest available nursery-grown size and placed in a grove setting The park spaces are the
best locations
2 Oak tree reolacement• Seven minimum 48-inch box size Oak trees are to be placed m the
park areas.
3. Eucalvotus wmdrows• Accepted as presented
4 Model Park: The small houses should not be in the model park or with the large houses
Small house models should be with the small lots
5 Comer houses. No small houses are to intermingle in the large lots Use large single-story
plans for comers.
6 Dnvewavs No double dnveways Only one maximum 16-foot wide dnveway may penetrate
the parkway For split garages, use the "Y" configured dnveway employed on the cul-de-sacs
7 Skewed house olottmp The 50 percent minimum required for skewed house plotting should
be fully exhibited m the straight sections of street rather than only one or two
8 Site Plan Show the porches for all plans on the plotting on the Site Plan, espeaally Plan 2
Architectural design The Committee strongly emphasized the need for 360-degree
architecture. The side and rear elevations must be greatly enhanced and provided with
substantially ncher detail The front elevation features and details should be exhibited in all
situations, but espeaally along the rear elevations of those homes along Wardman-Bullock
Road and Wilson Avenue An important note was made that either substantial, design-
appropnate balconies or an egwvalent substantial architectural feature should be placed on

the rear elevations of the homes along Wardman-Bullock Road and Wilson Avenue, but that
most should be balconies The Committee made it clear that roofline and roof pitch should
show much more vanation throughout all the plans and that vanation m the pitch of the roof
truss will be a likely solution Largetwo-story wall heights on the elevations must be avoided

DESIGN REVIEW DRC2004-00491 - PULTE HOMES, INC -The review of site plan and elevations
for 93 single-family detached homes on a portion of the previously approved Tentative Tract Map
14759, located south of Wilson Avenue along Wardman Bullock Road in the Low Residential Distnct
(2-4 dwelling units per acre) - APN 0226-102-17
Backoround/Desion Parameters The Design Review Committee onginally reviewed the protect on
August 3, 2004 The Committee recommended that the applicant revise the protect to address the
identified issues as shown in the attached DRC Action Comments (Exhibit "A") Generally, the
Committee stated that a number of landscape, architectural design, and site design issues were not
resolved
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT14759 on November 10, 1999.
The applicant is now proceeding with proposals to design homes for the tract. The tract will be
developed in four phases This current application request is for the phase that includes the 93
large lots in the northeast comer of the onginal tract The tract is south of Wilson Avenue at
Wardman Bullock Road The project is located in the Etiwanda Speafic Plan under the Basic
Development Standards
The applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting on August 10, 2004, which was well attended
The comments were mostly focused on construction impacts, existing easterly windrow health, and
real estate questions. Generally, the audience was satisfied with the applicant's responses
The applicant has been working attentively to resolve the issues raised at the previous DRC
meeting After working with staff, the protect has improved substantially
Staff Comments
Maior Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this protect.
The architectural designs show an improved sense of 360~egree design The applicant, after
several meetings with staff, has made an effort to meet the need for ncher architectural detail
on all elevations
a Plans One and Two consists of single-story homes The expanded detailing on the side
and rear elevations includes changes in roof pitch and the introduction of pop-outs and
roof breaks The bare wall planes are diminished by the lowered roof pitch and
expanded siding
b Plans Three, Four, and Five consists of two-story homes A substantial improvement to
the side elevations is made by the expansion of siding and the change in roof pitch, as
well as the introduction of second-story pop-outs These pop-outs can be improved by
the use of bracketing or corbels in keeping with the particular style The revised rear
elevations now show balconies, additional pop-outs, and roof breaks, which are
benefiaal These new and expanded features enhance the 360-degree architectural
quality of the designs The balconies are proposed on two of each the four styles per
plan and will only be used on 50 percent of those houses in those styles However, the
f~35~
DRC ACTION COMMENTS
DRC2004-00491 - PULTE HOMES, INC
September 14, 2004
Page 2
Site Plan plots all of these plans with the balcony, so it is unclear which 50 percent will
actually have them The Committee was espeaally keen on those houses backing up
on a street to have this feature
c The addition of coach lights on some front elevations is proposed
2 The issue of tree replacement has been partially addressed, but no definitive plan has been
offered.
a The replacement of the Eucalyptus windrows on sloped portions of backyard areas is
proposed and fulfills the requirements of the tract conditions
b. The Committee regwred the applicant to replant the Olive tree grove by using the largest
nursery-grown and available size non-frwt-bearing trees. The applicant has found
48-inch box trees at a nursery m Anzona The applicant met with Planning and Parks
staff and the location of the Olive trees in the parks was discussed Although no
conclusion was reached at this meeting, it did appear that a number of planting
opportunities were found in the parks that would fulfill the tract condition and also not
interfere with normal park design and maintenance needs The key areas were on
planned slopes and near boundanes with residential lots m this tract The applicant
desires to separate the tree replacement issue from the Design Review process
However, important site design issues may linger if the trees eventually do not work in
the park environments and must be worked into the protect in other locations.
c. The placement of the replacement Oak trees may also be accommodated in the park
settings in a similar fashion to the Olroe trees.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
The revised site layout now provides for the interspersing of the required skewed house
plotting among the other homes, meets the regwrement for single-story or extra deep
setbacks for comer houses, and achieves the smgledriveway/curb-cut for all lots However,
the applicant is not completely satisfied with the effect of the skewing and dnveway
requrements may have on the marketing of these homes because of the appearance of the
skewed homes and maneuvenng m the "Y" configured dnveways of Plans Four and Five
The model park has been re-designed to only include the large home plans for this portion of
the tract No small house plans are part of this portion of the tract However, no house has
been plotted on Lot 28
Policv Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the protect design without discussion
No outstanding policy issues
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Committee review the proposal and provide
comments on the design and continue the item for further review of an improved Landscape Plan

Dear Sus:
We request that the city stop all building at the Puke track behind Johnston Place on the west
side and below Summit /Baryon for the following reasons:
1 The trees which were growing behind our homes on Johnston Place were pulled out from
an area which we paid for with taxes collected by the Counny of San Bemardrno and given
m the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
2. The trees were taken out without ow permission.
3. The bees protected our homes fmm the wind and the sun.
4. We are being dc-prived of the privacy they Provided us.
5. We purchased our homes based upon those trees being there and the birds and wildlrfe
they provided.
6. The c~urent grading may cause harm to our block walls.
7. The grading is detrimental to our property.
g. The trees that were uprooted were in an easement which we pay for with taxes and is
included in landscape District 7.
9. The botanist's report which we were shown excluded the olive trees, pine trees, 5nrit trees
and other healthy trees which were destroyed.
10. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is well aware that sprinkler systems were destroyed that
provided water to those trees which were in Landscape District 7.
We have contacted the city several times but to no avail The City of Rancho Cucamonga has
allowed the builder to cause us financial harm, property harm, and destroy our way of life, and
this is ur~coeptable.
Above are the reasons i have requested a meeting wrth the mayor of Rancho Cucamonga and
the San Bernardino County Board of Supervrsors.

Dear Plaaaing Commission:
This letter is concerning the conshuction of Pulte Homes is Rancho C'acamorga.
My concern is not only the F.aseman. I have an issue with the type of homes to be built
in our area of Rancho Cucamonga (Edwanda) by Pulte Homes, Inc.. Our an~e of'zomes
are not Track Homes. Pulte Homes will be building track homes slatting in the low
$400,000.00 with no upgrades. This H not acceptable.
I am really stttptised that the City Planning Division of Rancho would allow something
like this to happen in an area of Rancho where there are no track hom~:s and the selling
price of our homes are a lot more than $400,000.00.
Also, how can you the City Planning Office give Pulte the okay to cur down all the [rev's
that sat on the easemaa and build on the easetnan when in fact it doe: t't belong to you.
Some of us have clearly proven some of the properties have five to ten feet of easemari.

Good Afternoon Vance,
I have noticed the final design review meeting for Pulte'e Rancho Summit project is on the
City agenda for September 14th It has been nearly one month since Pulte representatives
held the public presentation regarding their prof ect to property owners in the immediate area
and it should be noted we have not heard anything further regarding the diseased eucalyptus
windrows
I'd like to ask you if you can tell us if there is going to be any action taken to correct
the damages my neighbors and I are experlencing~ Is this issue an item for subject meeting
I am in discussions with an attorney regarding what possible actions we, ae affected property
owners, might take to help this process along and get this issue resolved Having heard
nothing from Pulte representatives as they promised, i/we would like to know the City's
stance before we proceed further
Sincerely,
Kevin Doyle

Good Morning Andrew and Hrian,
It was a pleasure to meet you at last evening's community meeting during which you presented
plans for Rancho Summit. Thank-you once again for taking the time to discuss your project
and take questions.
As one of the concerned homeowners on the eastern flank of your property, I would like to ask
you to keep us informed of your plans/actions regarding the damage from the diseased windrow
eucalyptus trees that we are experiencing Df special concern is the result of today's
meeting with the city that was referred to last night relating to the topic of landscaping
and condition of the windrows.
My neighbors and I look forward to hearing from you on this subject along with watching with
interest as your development progresses I believe we all hope for its ultimate success
combined with minimal negative impact on our existing community To that end, we intend to
remain engaged in the process and in touch with you and the city
With Regards,
Kevin Doyle

Staff Report
DATE February 09, 2005
TO Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, Clty Planner
BY. Tabe van der Zwaag, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT• VARIANCE DRC2004-01289 - JOUD CONSTRUCTION - A request to exceed
the 3-foot height for garden walls within the front yard setback along 19th Street
in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at
67001nyoPlace-APN 1076-381-17
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION. The applicant is in the process of constructing a
single custom home on a lot that is the former model home parking lot for Tract 12952
Following the completion of the tract, this lot was sold for the purposes of developing a custom
residence on the lot In 1992, Variance 91-12 was approved fora 6-foot high wall on the same
site for a custom residence that was never constructed The current request is similar in setback
and design to the wall approved in Variance 91-12 The site presently contains a custom
residence that is under construction and a number of mature trees, primarily along the west
property line The site slopes gently from the north to the south at an approximate 2 percent
grade
ANALYSIS'
A General The layout of the site dictates that the front yard setback be applied to the
property running along 19th Street and the corner side yard setback for the property
running along Inyo Place, however, the front door and garage of the new residence face
Inyo Place to relate to the existing homes to the south Without the requested Variance,
the wall would need to be 37 feet off the curb face along 19th Street This would leave the
residence with very little private yard space or buffer from the traffic noise along
19th Street The applicant proposes building a 3-foot high wall 5 feet off the back of the
sidewalk along 19th Street, transitioning to 11 feet off the back of the sidewalk along
Inyo Place
B Technical Backpround• Development Code Section 17 02 140 defines the front lot line as
the narrowest frontage of the lot, regardless of house orientation The 19th Street
frontage is shorter than the Inyo Place frontage, and the final map for Tract 12952 did not
designate othervvise, thus, the 19th Street lot line is considered the front lot line.
Therefore, structures, including walls in excess of 3 feet in height or landscaping, that
ITEM B
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

block views for safe ingress/egress cannot be located in a required front yard area per
Section 17 OS 060 K1 of the Development Code.
In the Low Residential Distnct, the minimum front yard setback in which structures,
including 6-foot high solid walls, can be constructed is 37 feet from the face of the curb
The current Site Plan (see Exhibit "A") shows the wall at a minimum 5 feet behind the
sidewalk along 19th Street, Vansitioning to a minimum 11 feet behind the sidewalk along
Inyo Place. The added setback is needed along Inyo Place in order to allow safe
ingress/egress from the applicant's driveway. The applicant proposes that a short section
of the wall at the northwest comer of the site run adjacent to the curb, in order to protect
an ewsUng mature tree
C. Compatibility Issues: In reviewing the proposed Vanance, the issues of compatibility of the
19th Street streetscape Vestment should be an important consideration. The attached
photographs (Exhibit "E") show the existing wall setback condibons at the intersection of
19th Street and Inyo Place. Currently, acurb-adjacent precision block wall runs along the
south side of 19th Street to the west of the site. The balance of the adjacent 19th Street
frontage was improved as part of Tract 12952, including a slumpstone block wall with
pilasters and decorative cap. The lots to the east of the subject property back-up to Inyo
Place, therefore, a slumpstone block wall faces the subtect property. Staff has advised •
the applicant to design the wall with consistent wall treatments and landscape palette
similar to the treatment provided by the developer of Tract 12952. The current Site Plan
indicates that the appliatnt proposes to build a wall that matches the treatment used for
Tract 12952 Conditions to ensure consistent wall treatments and landscape palette are
included within the attached Resolution of Approval In staffs opinion, the current
proposal with the attached conditions Hell provide a logical continuation to the sVeetscape
along 19th Street and Inyo Place.
Facts For Findinps• In order to approve the proposed Vanance, the Planning Commission must
determine facts to support the following findings. Any findings in the negative would precude
approval of the Variance Request:
1. Findin That strict or literal interpretation enforcement of the specked regulation would
result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with
the obtectives of this code.
FacUs Placing the wall at the required 37-foot front yard setback would leave a large
part of the applicant's front yard physically cut off from the house, creating an
area that is impractical to maintain and difficult to safeguard, and
2 Findin That exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the property do not apply generally
to other properties in the same zone
FacUs The subtect property is the only corner lot in the vicinity which is orientated •
toward Inyo Place; and
~a
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

. February 09, 2005
Page 3
3 Fmdina. That strict or literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties m the same zone
Facts. The orientation of the applicant's residence towards Inyo Place practically
makes his front yard into a side yard, thus limiting his ability to shield the house
from the vehicle and foot traffic along 19th Street, and
4. Findin That the granting of the Variance with not constitute a grant of speaal
pnwleges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classfied in the
same zone.
FacUs: The other properties m the surrounding area are not orientated towards 19th
Street; and
5. Findin That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially in~unous to properties or improvement in the
vicirnty
Facts: The wall will be similar in design and setback to the existing walls at the comer
of 19th SVeet and Inyo Place
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Dailv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners
within a 300-foot radws of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Variance DRC2004-01289 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

myself ,and because of the shape of the lot I am going to use my
side yard as a backyard ,and in order for me to do so I need to
secure the property Ime by proposing to build(6 feet block wall) on
both sides of the property on 19th ST 8~Inyo PL to prevent dangers
and secur my house and my family and give them mor privesy, and I
am planing to put a pool in the future .
The block wall I am proposing is going to match the existing block
wall on the other side of the street attached photos to show the other
comer of the street, and it is going to be very compatible with the
surrounding area .

B Resolution

f The project as proposed with all applicable conditions enforced, wik continue the
existing streetscape treatments utilized in the immediate area by providing an upgraded wall and
landscape treatments, and
g The 19th Street and Inyo Place frontages to the east of the subtect property are
developed with slumpstone walls, and
h The proposed wall would be a logical continuation of the exsting 19th Street
streetscape treatment
3 Based upon the substantial evidence presenfed to this Commission during the
above-referenced publrc hearing and upon the speGfic findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and
2 above, this Commission hereby finds and conGudes as follows.
a That strict or fderaf interpretation and enforcement of the speaf~ed regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship rnconsistentwith the objectives of
the Development Code, in that placing the wall at the required 37-foot front yard setbadcwould leave
a large area of the applicant's front yard physically cut off from the house, creating an area that is
impractical to maintain and difficuk to safeguard, and
b That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district, in that the subtect property is the only comer lot in the viankywhich is
orientated toward Inyo Place; and
c That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district, in
that the orientation of the applicant's residence towards Inyo Place practically makes his front yard
into a side yard, thus limiting his ability to shield the house from the vehicte and foot traffic along 19th
Street; and
d That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, in that the other
properties in the surrounding area are not orientated towards 19th Street, and
e That the grenUrtg of the Variance will not be detrimental to the publrc heakh, safety,
or welfare or materially rnJunous to properties or improvements in the vicinity, in that the wall will be
similar in design and setback to the existing walls at the comer of 19th Street and Inyo Place
4 The Planning Commisson hereby finds and determines that the protect rdent~ed in this
Resolution is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Ad
(CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to
Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines
5 Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subtect to each and every condition set forth below •
and in the attached Standard Conditions
