Design Parameters: The protect site is located about 340 feet east of the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Mayten Street on a parcel of 53,500 square feet (about 258 feet vnde by 213 feet deep) The site is designated as a Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area by the Foothill Boulevard-Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan designates a "Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area" (see attached) along this portion of Foothill Boulevard, featuring colored pavement emblazoned with the Route 66 logo, speaal sidewalk treatment, artwork, and a historic post and cable roadway safety bamer (to discourage people from crossing Foothill Boulevard). The "Suburban Parkway EnhancementArea" is limited to a 45-foot stretch that has already been enhanced (except for pavement emblazoning) by . the adjoining Carrows restaurant, therefore, the proposed protect would be installing normal parkway improvements The properties to the north and south are vacant, the property to the west is undergoing grading for a future commeraal building (related file DRC2004-00404), and the propertyto the east ~s Carrow's restaurant The site is part of the Catellus Master Plan that was conceptually approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1999 (related file DR99-11), and includes Lowes home improvement center, Farmer Boys restaurant, and Carrows restaurant. The existing topography slopes from about 1,210 feet on the north (street) side of the lot to about 1,201 feet on the south (interior) side The building pad will be 5 feet below the Foothill Boulevard curb. An existing, east-west drive aisle along the south side of the site allows vehicular access to other parts of the commeraal complex. Pedestrian access has also been provided from the southeast comer of the building directly to a driveway located immediately to the east of the building. The proposed building will most likely have four tenant spaces The primary entrances to each proposed tenant space is from the south side of the bwldmg The parking area is situated along the south and west side of the building and is comprised of 50 parking stalls. Landscape coverage is 26 percent, the minimum regwrement is 15 percent for this development distract The proposed building is comprised of architecture that is generally consistent with the surrounding pad tenants Key features include raised "towers" at all comers of the bwldmg (except the northwest), arched soffets, columns, and storefront glass The south face of the southeast comer tower element protects horizontally about 15 feet from the primary south wall plane of the bwldmg. A 60-foot by 13-foot trellis defines the entrances of the "secondary" tenants, it also serves to casually link the towerelements at each end Additional features include cornice tram, wainscots, and reveals on all wall planes similar to those on the Union Bank of California and Carrows restaurant buildings. The stucco firnsh and color will generally match those buildings. Staff Comments The following comments are intended to prowde an outline for Committee discussion. EXHIBIT H DRC AGENDA DRC2004-01126 - PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC August 16, 2005 ;• Pa e 2 g Major Issues. The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project 1 Incorporate glass along the north elevation facing Foothill Boulevard to mirnmize the expanse of bare stucco walls The application of glass, which probably will be spandrel (non-vision), • should be similar to the north elevation of the commercial budding under construction to the west (related file DRC2004-00404) that employs a least two panels of glass adtacent to each man door (Exhibit A) An alternative to glass could be murals with a Route 66 theme. 2. Provde a wainscot comprised of cultured stone veneer on all elevations of the building 3. Enhance the entrance of the tenant space at the west end of the building by projecting the west face of the southwest comer towerelement, and corresponding columns, furtheroutfrom the primary west wall plane of the bwlding the same as the tower at the southeast comer of the budding (Exhibit B). Secondary Issues. Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1 Cultured stone veneer should be applied to the full height of the columns at all tower locations (Exhibd A) • 2 Provide an additional trellis element along the west side of the budding (Exhibit B) to match the one on the south side of the bwlding 3. The foists of all trellises shall be a minimum 4 inches by 12 inches and should have a maximum spacing of 24 inches on center 4 The retaining wall located along the east side of the protect should be constructed of decorative block/stone to match the veneer on the bwlding Policy Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion 1 Provide decorative accent medallions/quatrefoils at various locations on each elevation of the building similar to those applied on the Union Bank of California and Carrow's restaurant bwldings 2 Provide decorative paving in the walkways along the south and west sides of the budding. 3. All roof equipment shall be screened by parapet walls. 4 All trash enclosures should be constructed per the City's design standard for commeraal projects. 5 In order to provide one tree per 30 linear feet of horizontal building face, prowde additional 5-foot by 5-foot tree wells (Exhibit B). • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposal subject to • modifications submittal of revised plans addressing the above ( `~ DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2004-01126 - PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC August 16, 2005 Page 3 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present Stewart, McPhail, Henderson Staff Planner Michael Smith The applicant presented revised plans The Committee recommended approval of the protect to the Planning Commission subtect to the following Add ledgestone to the "column" on the north elevation because of its high visibility to Foothill Boulevard, Use vanous tree speaes m identified locations, specifically at the south and west sides of the budding), to avoid interference with the visibility of signs, and Revise the Landscape Plan to incorporate a greater vanety and quantity of plants and trees The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff to resolve these issues p~5 O Q u M Z a 3 2 °o ~ Q ~ G/!~' ~'~ /`~ -~~ ~ ~ I W ,~ ~ ~~ ,rszca ~, r n n ~ ~ ua 1 m -~~- m INJ~ °D _.~ A ti -F~+~'f :Lr' Q ~;Y. `~~'t~S~, .r '2~~. :tom ' ~y.r t 1 , ~ ~ ~ 4 Gyy` ~ ~ I I s ~er?t 1.: f>w~~i~f~}'~ _: Ye~+'av;c I'~`'1~~ 1 '1 7 ^ N ~ N r M `J ST_7 EXHIBIT B • C ra v~c~ ~. ~I~ ~I r _ ENVIRONMENTAL - INFORMATION FORM (Part I -Initial Study) Crty orRancho Cucamonga (Please type or pool clearly using ink Use the tab key to move Irom one Ilne to the next Ifne ) Planning DMSOn (ge9) 477-2750 The purpose of this form is to inform the City of the basic components of the proposed projectso that the City may review the project pursuantto City Policies, Ordinances, and Guidelines; the California Environmental Quality Act; and the City's Rules and Procedures to Implement CEQA.

General• To meet the regwrement for at least two primary exterior budding materials, the applicant has designed the building with smooth concrete and natural stone. All elevations exhibit 360-degree architecture and wall movement providing relief and visual interest. The proposed protect on the 316-acre site meets or exceeds all development standards of the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6). The proposed protect meets or exceeds the number of parking stalls regwred for the proposed use. B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the site, budding elevations, materials, and conceptual landscaping on August 16, 2005, (Exhibit G). The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Henderson) recommended approval of the protect as proposed. C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the protect August 16, 2005, and recommended approval subfect to the Standard Conditions outlined in the resolution of approval. D Environmental Assessment: The applicant completed Part 1 of the Initial Study. City staff completed Part II and the Environmental Checklist. Staff concluded that the protect could have significant adverse environmental impacts to short-term air and water quality during site preparation and construction activities. Short-term impacts to air and water quality would result from grading, egwpment exhaust, erosion, and water runoff. Mitigation measures will be required to reduce impacts to short-term air and water quality. The mitigation measures will reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. If the Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review DRC2005-00109 by the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts.

Design Parameters• This site has had three previous office budding approvals, all with similar site plan arrangement of two-story bwldings at the comer with parking behind. Haven Avenue and Arrow Route are designated as Special t3oulevards by the General Plan and should receive speaal design, including meandering sidewalks, berms, and informal tree clusters. Along Arrow Route, meandering sidewalks are not possible because right-tum lane/bus bay and berming may not be feasible because of the grade differential (the site is feet 3 to 4 feet below the street) The budding access from both streets is via shared driveways with adjoining twin office bwldings. The applicant is proposing a 10-car carport in the first parking row on the south side of the budding The concrete tilt-up budding has extensive blue reflective glass (same as the adjoining budding to the south), and 12-inch by 12-inch Arizona file veneer as the second primary bwlding material. The outdoor employee eating area, located at the southeast comerof the building, features an overhead steel tube and cable trellis. Staff Comments• The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion Major Issues None The applicant has worked diligently with staff to address all mator issues Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1 Provide bus shelter on Arrow Route, outside the public right-of-way, with complimentary architecture 2 Plant climbing vine, such as wisteria, on the outdoor employee eating area overhead trellis or plant more canopy trees for shade 3 Carport elevations were not provided The carport should be designed compatible with the architectural theme of the office budding. Standard metal post and metal roof "flimsy," "stick-like" carport designs are not desirable. 4. An unspecified "enhanced paving" at the budding entry is shown on the Conceptual Landscape Plan. Staff recommends a washed aggregate or sandblasted natural color concrete finish, or decorative pavers that compliment the earth tones of the building.

A NEGATIVE DECLARATION wdl be prepared (X) I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the . environment, there will not be a sigrnficant effect in this case because revisions in the protect have been made by, or agreed to, by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION wdl be prepared () I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. () I find that the proposed project MAY have a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standard and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is regwred, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed () I find that although the proposed protect could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially sigrnficant effects 1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed protect, nothing further is regwred.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, () () () (/) but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character () () () (/) or quality of the site and its surroundings d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (/) ( ) which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments• a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the protect site; however, the site is within a view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15. The protect has been designed with building setbacks and landscaping consistent with the General Plan pollees . and City design standards for Haven Avenue. No impact anticipated b) The protect site contains no scenic resources and no histonc buildings within a State Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. c) The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this protect. Design review is required prior to approval. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility Imes and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution d) The protect would increase the number of streetlights and secunty lighting used in the immediate vicinity The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on Site Plans, which require review for consistency with City standards that requires shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the protect site The impact is not considered significant 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () (/) ( ) a) Convert Pnme Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitonng Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural uses b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (/) Williamson Act contract u ~`~ • • Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 4 Less Than Signfirant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources PP 9 PotentWlly Sign~finnt wtn tbbgabon men Signfiont No 1 ap In IeE I p I p c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (/) which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2 The mayor concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful, therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan The General Plan Final Environmental Report (FEIR) identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a sigrnficant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City c) The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land The nearest agricultural use is more than 1/4 mile south from the project site Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated 3.

The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Counal The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities While most of the dust would settle on or near the protect site, smaller particles would remain m the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry m the Rancho Cucamonga area Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again. Therefore, the emissions associated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and they would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality m the region. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and egwpment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a protect-specific basis Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any Grading Permits, the developer shall submit Construction Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low-emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff. 3) Atl paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.

Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce Fine Particulate Matter (PM,g) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,g emissions. 13) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-teen construction air quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) Based upon the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-significant The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they 1331 Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 Lm T1~an $iBnfionl Lm Issues and Supporting Information Sources Pwmu~ny s~nam wm M~ugaoon may Si9nifi~an~ Na i a m yea i a i a cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-significant The following mitigation measures shall be implemented 10) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks shall not be left idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes). 11) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for vanpools. 12) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas. 13) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink schedule to the extent reasonably feasible. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified the atywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards The General Plan FEIR identified the atywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The protect proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors long-term health care faalities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 The protect site is not located within 1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors No adverse impacts are anticipated 4.

The protect site is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land. The site has been previously disrupted during rough grading, construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual disang for weed abatement. A Habitat Suitability Assessment was prepared by LSA Assocates (Denise D. Woodard, Senior Biologist, LSA, March i6, 2005) This field survey found that the soils are highly compacted and gravelly The vegetation on the property consists of sparse non-native grasslands, including Mediterranean schismus, short-podded mustard, red-stemmed filaree, and Spanish clover The study concluded that "because the project site is isolated from known occupied DSF habitat, and does not contain soil or vegetative components of known occupied DSF habitat, the habitat on the proposed protect site is considered unsuitable for DSF " b) No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the protect will not have any impacts. c) No wetland habitat is present on-site As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources d) The matonty of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any wildlife corridors that may have existed.

Comments• a) The protect site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2 24 (Historic Preservation) There will be no impact. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the protect site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 511). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will: Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or~ significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or focal poin'tI.

Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the sphere-of-influence, including the protect site, however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modem man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils The protect site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented 2) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field survey of the project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities. Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find. Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. • d) The proposed protect is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The protect site has already been disrupted by rough grading, construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement No known religious or sacred sites exist within the protect area No evidence is in place to suggest the protect site has been used for human burials The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050 5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall ~~ Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Paoe 11 Less Tian S~gnfiranl Less Issues and Su ortln Information Sources pp g Potentially Significant WIN Mitigation Tian Significant No I C Incur aleE I tl I et occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of ongin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097 98 As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-site No adverse impacts are anticipated. 6.

Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5 1 of the General Plan FEIR. The Red Hill Fault, passes within 1 75 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 miles north These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6 0-7 0 earthquakes Also, the San Jaanto fault, capable of produang up to Mw 7 5 earthquakes is 8 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 4'a Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2004-00109 Page 12 Less Then Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources PP 9 P°'en0°"Y s~gnincem N0tl1 Mmgenon rnan s~grurleem ra 1 eel Inco etetl I ecl I earthquakes, is 10 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Budding Code wdl ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. b) The proposed protect will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subfect to strong Santa Ana wind conditions dunng September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however, development of this protect under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-signficant levels. 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCA~MD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible. 2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by . the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~o emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCA~MD and RW~CB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~o emissions. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with large decreases or withdrawals of water from the agwfer. The protect would not withdraw water from the existing aquifer. The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous area or other unstable geologic unit or sod type according to General Plan FEIR Figure 5 1-2 Sod types on-site consist of Delhi Fine Sand Sod association according to General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. No adverse impacts are antiapated d) The malonty of Rancho Cucamonga, including the protect site, is located on alluvial sod deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site consist of Delhi Fine Sand Sod association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. These sods are typically Delhi Fme Sand. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The protect wdl connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal.

All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm dram facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Budding Official and City Engineer pnor to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site wdl not result in flooding on- or off-site No impacts are anticipated. e) The protect wdl cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new budding and hardscape proposed on a site, however, all runoff wdl be conveyed to existing storm drain faalities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The protect wdl not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Budding Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site wdl not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticpated. f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows dunng a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts The site is for new development or significant redevelopment, therefore, is regwred to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 8) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), including a project description and identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. 9) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board.

Noise levels were 65dBA and 60dBA within 232 feet and 500 feet from the centerline of Haven Avenue, respectively, according to General Plan Table V-4 Along Arrow Route, existing noise levels were 65dBA and 60dBA within 146 feet and 315m respectively. Future noise levels at build-out in the year 2020 are protected as 65dBAand 60dBAwithin 315 feet and 680 feet, respectively Along Arrow Route, future noise levels at build-out in the year 2020 are protected as 65dBA and 60dBA within 199 feet and 429 feet, respectively For commercial/office land use, the General Plan exterior noise level standard is 65dBA between 7 00 a m. and 10 00 p m. "New construction should be undertaken only after a detailed noise analysis of the noise reduction regwrements is made and needed noise insulation features included in the design" according to General Plan Exhibit V-11. A detailed noise study was prepared (Cotta Acoustical Consultant, June 10, 2005) that concluded that worst case roadway noise if 74dBA Mitigation measures listed below would reduce exterior and interior noise levels to less-than-significant levels 1) The glass in all vision glass windows on all office elevations shall be minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) rated 27 windows or greater or 1/4-inch glass. 2) Entry doors should be single acting with STC rating of 25 and be designed with 1/4-inch glass or have a minimum STC rating of 20. The gaps around the doors and frames should be no more than 1/16-inch. The entire door perimeter should be fully weather-stripped. 3) Skylights above office areas and other areas should be single dome or STC rated 23 or greater. b/c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic The proposed actiwties will not sigrnficantly increase traffic, hence, are not antiapated to increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the protect. d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 7) indicates that dunng a construction phase, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts 4) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. • • ~5a u Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Paoe 22 Less Than Sigmficanl Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources pp g Polenbally Signifipnt Win MNgaban Than SigNfignl Na I ci Inc alea I tl I d 5) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line.

No impacts are anticipated b) The protect site contains no existing housing units No adverse impact expected c) The protect site is vacant land. No impacts are anticipated 13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental faal~ties, need for new or physically altered governmental faal~t~es, the construction of which could cause s~gn~ficant environmental impacts, in order to ma~ntam acceptable service ratios, response Mmes or other performance () () () (~) oblect~ves for any of the public services: a) Fire protection b) Police protectton~ O O O (`~) c) Schools O O O (~) d) Parks O O O (~) e) Other public facddies7 O O O (~) Comments: a) The site, located at Haven Avenue and Arrow Route, would be served by a fire station located approximately 1 1/4 mile from the protect site. The protect will not require the construction of any new faalities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new faalities Standard Conditions of Approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the protect so no impacts to fire services will occur. No impacts are anticipated b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the protect will not change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in property to be patrolled as the protect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District The protect will be required to pay School Fees as prescribed by State law pnor to the issuance of bwlding permits.

The protect will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9 9), the protected increase in library space under the General Plan will not meet the protected demand. The General Plan FEIR identified the cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overnding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the EIR was prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City has planned a new library within the Victona Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet, which is in excess of the projected need of 15,500 square feet at build-out of the City 14.

Comments: a) Implementation of the proposed protect will generate 463 vehicle tnps daily. The proposed protect includes the development of a 25,500 square foot office building. The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that office land use will generate 18 14 average daily taps per each 1,000 square feet. As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 5), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The protect is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in protect design The protect will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The protect site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of bwlding permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated b) The protect will generate 60 two-way peak hour taps, which is less than 250 two-way peak hour trips for non-retail or 1,000 two-way peak hour trips for retail land use, therefore, is below the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) criteria u L.J-Jly Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Paae 26 Less Than S~gnifipnt Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources pP g Patenaally Sigrufitanl WIN MeigaEOn than Sigmfi®n1 No I tl Inro IeE I tl I tl for requinng a traffic impact analysis The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each 1,000 square feet of office and use will generate 2 36 two-way peak hour trips daily The protect is in an area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing The protect will not negatively impact the level of service standards on adtacent arterials The protect will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site No impacts are anticpated. c) Located approximately 6 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE () () () (,~) a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the mator periods of California history or prehistory b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (~) limited, but cumulatively considerable ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a protect are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects) c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will () () () (~) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly Comments• a) The site is located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3 Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed Based on the Biological Assessment provided, previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere of Influence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestnan friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required ~5 1 Initial Study for DRC2004-00109 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 29 Less Than Signfiant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources Palennally Signfitanl WiN MNgaban Than Signfiranl No I cl Int Ie0 I I d c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained m this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the denng, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D) The effects identified above for this protect were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis The following earlier analyses were utilized in completing this Initial Study and are available for review m the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division offices, 10500 Civic Center Dnve (check all that apply): (/) General Plan EIR (SCH#88020115, Certified October 17, 2001) (/) Master Environmental Assessment for the 1989 General Plan Update (SCH #88020115, certified January 4, 1989) (/) Industnal Area Speafic Plan EIR (Certified September 19, 1981) APPLICANT CERTIFICATION I certify that I am the applicant for the protect descnbed in this Initial Study I acknowledge that I have read this Initial Study and the proposed mitigation measures.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends upholding the decision of the Clty Planner and denying the appeal of the applicant based on the findings contained in the accompanying draft resolution. BACKGROUND• On March 17, 2005, Nextel Communications filed an application requesting a Minor Development Review for a stealth Wireless Communications Facility at a Southern California Edison (SCE) four-legged lattice tower close to Foothill Boulevard. The proposed installation consists of three, four-antenna arrays mounted 40 feet high on the tower and an equipment enclosure surrounded by a 10-foot high wall under the base of the tower. The 154-foot tower is approximately 70 feet north of Foothill Boulevard on a SCE property that abuts the west side of the Day Creek Flood Control Channel. The tower is plainly visible from Foothill Boulevard, a street that is designated by the General Plan as a Special Boulevard. The City Planner reviewed the application, and planning staff met the applicants representatives at the protect site to discuss solutions to the shortcomings of the proposal. Not finding adequate resolution, the City Planner determined that the proposal did not meet the requirements of the Wireless Communications Facilities chapter of the Development Code and fell short of the City's goals for Foothill Boulevard. The protect was denied by the City Planner on July 21, 2005. Nextel Communications flied a timely appeal on August 1, 2005. The applicant's representatives and representatives of SCE met with the City Planner and staff on August 17, 2005, to further discuss alternative solutions to the Installation and methods available to meet the requirements of the Development Code. The applicant responded with a revised proposal on August 31, 2005, with a 6-foot high block wall set approximately 13 feet ITEM C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APPEAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00242-NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS September 28, 2005 Page 2 from Foothill Boulevard and minimal landscaping. After staff review of this revision, it was determined that it still falls short of the standards set in the Development Code and the General Plan. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: "Our community design expectations reflect a critical philosophy regarding community development: We are in this for the long run, not just what may be expedient now. Our commitment is not only to the right uses, but to their exceptional quality as well,° notes our General Plan adopted in 2001. The General Plan recognizes the importance of Foothill Boulevard, not only as our mafor east-east artery, but Route 66 as a major historical element; hence, the street was designated as a °Special Boulevard.° Travel routes within our community are further described by the General Plan as °an important way of expenenang the City. Roadways m particular are also a means of organizing land uses, welcoming and directing visitors and establishing a consistent and aesthetically pleasing image through landscape and streetscape design. The General Plan identrfies several guiding design principles, including the importance of landscaping "as an important aesthetic and unifying element." Therefore, Foothill Boulevard was designated as a Speaal Boulevard, which incorporates extensive landscape setback areas. More specifically, the General Plan policy for travel routes is to °ensure that streetscape design along roadways creates a strong landscaped edge, provides a coherent high-quality appearance along each route, and enhances the image of adfacent development.' More detailed design plans were implemented that address Foothill Boulevard, including the . Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (now Chapter 17.32 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code). Subarea 4 of the Foothill Boulevard Distract runs along this portion of the street and is affected by any work conducted at the subject site. Among the objectroes of the Foothill Boulevard Distract, are the aims both to create a coherent streetscape system that is functional and attractive and to eliminate visually objectionable views. Most recently, the Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan was adopted by City Council on January 16, 2002. Consistent with these goals, staff recommends full frontage improvement of the Edison transmission corridors, including a screen wall and landscaping. The original and revised proposals do not provide for suffiaent landscape improvements on the project site and leave the egwpment shelter exposed to view along Foothill Boulevard. While the revised proposal does provide some screening, the wall does not provide that screening high enough or long enough to adequately block the objectionable view. This section of Foothill Boulevard represents a significant gap in the coherent streetscape called for in the Development Code and General Plan which is not served by the original or revised proposals. In addition, the revised proposal does not meet the minimum or average setback regwrements of 30 feet and 45 feet, respectively, partially caused by SCE's regwrement for a clearance of 50 feet around the tower. The proposed wall is approximately 13 feet from the curb at Foothill Boulevard. The applicant indicated no desire to apply for a variance for this setback deficiency. Environmental Assessment: This project, as identified m the accompanying Resolution, is categorically exempt from the regwrements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines. ca PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APPEAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00242-NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS September 28, 2005 Page 3 CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Valley Dadv Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. CONCLUSION: The applicant worked with staff to try to mold a solution for both Nextel and the City but were unable to find a resolution that met the goals of the City and allow the addition to the applicant's network.

The application proposes the installation of three sets of antennas onto an existing electrical transmission tower. 3. The application proposes the construction of an equipment shelter under the elecVical transmission tower and enclosed by a 10-foot high wall. 4. The proposed location is inappropriate and injures the physical advantages of the orderly planning of Foothill Boulevard contrary to Sec. 17.02.010.C RCMC. 5 resource along Foothill iBouleOverd contrarylt Secs 17.16.020 RCMC use and Impairs the natural view 6. The proposed project impairs the aesthetic environment on Foothill Boulevard by blocking views and introducing an incongruous element prominently to the streetscape. The prominence of the existing lattice tower is made more intense by the introduction of the equipment shelter under its base. 7. The selected site detracts from the appearance of the City by being located where existing topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures provide no screening and where the provision of new screening will not mitigate the visual impact of the installation because of its close proximity to Foothill Boulevard (Sec.17.26.030.A RCMC). 8. The equipment is not visually compatible with the surrounding buildings and cannot be screened sufficiently with landscaping. (Sec.17.26.030.B). 9.

That the proposed project is not consistent with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed project together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed project is not in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. That the proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan. The request has been dented. This decision shall be final following a 10-day appeal period beginning with the date of this letter. Appeals must be filed in writing with the Planning Commission Secretary, state the reason for the appeal, and be accompanied by a $1,537 appeal fee. The City of Rancho Cucamonga provides flexible guidelines for the governance of wireless communications facilities, which recognize the unique characteristics of the City. As this project is a response to a technical need for the wireless network, it may be appropriate to explore other installation sites away from Foothill Boulevard that still maintain a high quality appearance and meet the objectives and criteria in Chapter 17.28, Wireless Communlcatlons Facilities, RCMC.

A. Recitals. 1 Nextel Communications, filed an application for the issuance of Minor Development Permit DRC2005-00242 on March 17, 2005, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor Development Permit request is referred to as °the application.° 2. On the 21 st day of July 2005, the City Planner of the City of Rancho Cucamonga issued the determination letter denying the request with the appropriate findings enumerated and informed the applicant of their right to appeal under prescribed procedures. 3 The decision represented by said City Planner determination was appealed in a timely manner to this Commission. 4. On September 28, 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal and the application. 5. All legal prerequisites prior 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 the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on September 28, 2005, including written and oral staff reports, and the contents of the City Planner determination letter of July 21, 2005, and together with public testimony, this Commission hereby speafically finds as follows: a. The application applies to the property located north of Foothill Boulevard, west of the intersection with the Day Creek Flood Control Channel, with a total street frontage of approximately 310 feet and a lot depth that continues along the entire Southern California Edison transmission line corridor which is presently improved only with electricitytransmission faalities and also specifically to a proposed leasehold at and around the southern most transmission tower on this properly; and b. The application applies to the vacant property that contains an electrical transmission tower within approximately 65 feet of Foothill Boulevard. C-5 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO 05-92 DRC2005-00242 - NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS September 28, 2005 Page 2 3 The application proposes the installation of three sets of antennas onto an existing electrical transmission tower. 4. The application proposes the construction of an equpment shelter under the electrical transmission tower and enclosed by a 10-foot high wall. 5. The proposed location is inappropriate and intures the physical advantages of the orderly planning of Foothill Boulevard contrary to Sec. 17.02 O10.C RCMC. 6 The use at this location in an Open Space distract is not a low intensity use and impairs the natural view resource along Foothill Boulevard contrary to Sec. 17.16.020 RCMC. 7. The proposed protect impairs the aesthetic environment on Foothill Boulevard by blocking views and introducing an incongruous element prominent to the streetscape. The prominence of the existing lattice tower is made more intense by the introduction of the equipment shelter under its base. 8. The selected site detracts from the appearance of the City by being located where existing topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures provide no screening, and where the provision of new screening will not mitigate the visual impact of the installation because of its close proximity to Foothill Boulevard (Sec. 17.26.030.A RCMC). 9. The equipment is not visually compatible with the surrounding buildings and cannot be screened suffiaently with landscaping. (Sec.17 26 030.6). 10. Foothill Boulevard is a Special Boulevard per Table III-24 of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The General Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan further provide for design obtectives for Foothill Boulevard to provide attractive streetscapes. The proposed protect compromises the attractive appearance of Foothill Boulevard by introduang an incongruous element. 11. The property to the west of the subject site is vacant, the property to the northwest is developed with single-family homes, the property to the south is developed with Southem California Edison electricity transmission facilities and a plant nursery, and the properly to the east is the Day Creek Flood Control Channel; and a The application proposes the installation of a W fireless Communications Faality on and adtacent to a Southem California Edison electricty transmission tower; and b. The proposed installation of the ground-mounted processing egwpment shelter is a significant aesthetic detriment to the City rising to the level of creating, rather than eliminating, a visually obtectionable view along Foothill Boulevard; and c. The proposed installation along Foothill Boulevard does not add to the coherent streetscape system as; and d. The proposed installation does not meet the design goals of the General Plan and Development Code by not creating a design that expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho Cucamonga along Foothill Boulevard, and creating, rather than eliminating, C~~ PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO APPEAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00242- NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS September 28, 2005 Page 3 objectionable wews along Foothill Boulevard "Our community design expectations reflect a critical philosophy regarding community development. We are in this for the long run, notjustwhat maybe expedient now Our commitment is not only to the right uses, but to their exceptional quality as well, says our General Plan adopted in 2001 The General Plan recognizes the importance of Foothill Boulevard, not only as our major east-east artery but Route 66 as a major historical element; hence, the street was designated as a special boulevard." The travel routes within our community are further described by the General Plan as °an important way of experiencing the City.° Roadways in particular, are also a means of organizing land uses, welcoming and directing visitors, and establishing a consistent and aesthetically pleasing image through landscape and streetscape design The General Plan identifies several gwding design principles, including the importance of landscaping "as an important aesthetic and unifying element." Therefore, Foothill Boulevard was designated as a special boulevard, which incorporates extenswe landscape setback areas. More specifically, the General Plan policy for travel routes is to "ensure that streetscape design along roadways creates a strong landscaped edge, provides a coherent high-quality appearance along each route, and enhances the image of adjacent development.° e. More detailed design plans were implemented which addresses Foothill Boulevard, including the Foothill Boulevard Speafic Plan (now Chapter 17.32 of Rancho Cucamonga Mumapal Code). Subarea 4 of the Foothill Boulevard Distract runs along this portion of the street and is affected by any work conducted at the subject site. Among the objectives of the Foothill Boulevard District are the aims both to create a coherent streetscape system that is functional and attractive, and to eliminate visually objectionable views. Most recently, the Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan was adopted by City Council on January 16, 2002; and f. The proposed project does not meet the minimum or average setback requirements of 30 feet and 45 feet, respectively. The proposed wall is approximately 13 feet from the curb at Foothill Boulevard; the applicant did not apply for a variance. 12. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That the proposed project is not consistent with the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. b. That the proposed project together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the wcirnty. c. That the proposed project is not in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. d. That the proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan. 13. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, through 12, above, this Commission hereby denies the appeal of the applicant and upholds the decision of the City Planner denying the application.

The proposed grading of the property would place the budding pad grades approximately 16 feet below Banyan Avenue, approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west B. Desion Review Committee The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the protect on August 2, 2005, and recommended approval subject to the addition of windows on the easterly elevation of Phase 1 B and a revision m the plant palette for the landscape plan C Technical Review Committee The Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval subtect to the conditions outlined in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval.

The impact of the additional 14 feet 6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the budding pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west More importantly, the height impact is significantly addressed by plotting the budding 100 feet away from the nearest home to the west A budding separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in the Low Residential District If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the regwred side yard . setback would have been 5 feet, therefore, a typical two-story home would have had far greater casual impact upon its neighbor As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below street The following are facts to support these findings. 1 Findin ,That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code FacUs The applicant has requested flexibility with the regwred wall height in order to better provide an attractive architectural design 2 Findin 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 FacUs~ The project site is extraordinary because of its relative size in this neighborhood and the grade differences provided by the site design 3 Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied regulation would deprave the applicant of prmleges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district FacUs Without the Variance, the project would be depraved of privileges enjoyed by other owners within the same district in developing single-family • residences with substantially smaller setbacks The proposed building height is consistent proportionally with surrounding properties with consideration to the property size D~~3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2004-01058- SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH September 28, 2005 Page 4 . 4 Findm That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of specal privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties or improvements m the viamty FacUs. Because the location of the site and its urnque size m the neighborhood as well as the site design proposed, no special privilege is granted with the Vanance. 5 Fmdin That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially mlunous to properties or improvements in the wamty. FacUs• Granting of the Vanance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be materially mlurious to properties or improvements m the vicinity. On the contrary, granting of the variance will provide substantially more privacy and light and ventilation for the surrounding single-family uses than the construction of single-family houses on the subject site Based on the above analysis, staff believes that there are sufficient facts to support the findings CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the protect site.

VARIANCE DRC2005-00278 -SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH -A requestto allow height of 58 feet in lieu of the maximum allowed of 35 feet in conjunction with construction ofa new 78,140 square foot church sanctuary and related facilities on 3.8 acres of land in the Low Residential Distnct (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street-APN• 0201-821-51. Related Fde: Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01058. Design Parameters: This application is for a new religious assembly campus to be constructed in ' phases on a vacant 3.6-acre site at the southwest corner of Banyan Street and Haven Avenue: Phase 1A is the subtect of a current Minor Development Review request (DRC2005-00530) and is for the parking lot only. The parking lot ~s designed to accommodate the assembly/worship space for either phase at 172 spaces; • Phase 1 B is for thetwo-story multi-purpose building, which will contain worship space until the development of the next phase; • Phase 2 is the Sanctuary Budding, which is provided especially for worship space; • Phase 3 is a final one-story multi-purpose building. The proposed grading of the property would place the building pad grades approximately 16 feet below Banyan Avenue, approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Architecture -Allowing religious assembly as a conditional use in almost all zones allows great flexibility for such uses to find appropriate sites and to integrate the uses in different places in the community, while on the other hand, allowing for acase-by-case review to assure that the use is compatible with the neighborhood both operationally and physically. In review of the architectural design aspects of the project, the architecture is ostensibly patterned after the gables of the existing church building, across Banyan Street, that echo the peaks of the San Gabriels beyond However, the steep roof pitches on a budding of this scale present a massive structure in this largely single-family residential neighborhood. A Variance has been • requested to allow the 49-foot, 6-inch height associated with the roof gables that exceeds the 35-foot height limit of the zone (see attached). The impact of the additional 14 feet, 6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the budding pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below p~Ea~ DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2004-01058 AND DRC2005-00278 -SHEPHERD OF THE HILL LUTHERAN CHURCH August 2, 2005 Page 2 the rear yards of the houses to the west. More importantly, the height impact is significantly addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the west. A budding separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in the Low Residential Distract If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the required side yard setback would have been 5 feet; therefore, a typical 2-story home would have had far greater visual impact upon its neighbor. As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below street Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. There will be no crosswalks across Banyan Street between the existing church location and the subject property other than the one at the comer of Haven Avenue, and there are no entrances on the north (Banyan Street) side of the proposed new structure, however, some concern remains for pedestrian safety at the driveways which match up from the existing parking lot to the new parking lot Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. The parking lot landscaping requirements of Sec. 17.12 030.A.11 are for "at least one 15-gallon minimum size tree foreach three parking stalls "There appears to be enough trees on the site, but the minimum number of trees from this calculation must be placed in the . parking area rather than at any place on the development site. Dimension for verification. 2. The parking lot screening requirements of Sec. 17.12 030.A.10, RCMC are required for screening regardless of whetherthe stalls point out toward the street The requirement allows for alternate and combinations of screening matenals, including berths and planting. See the code section to determine which will work best for this situation. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee continue this item to allow the applicant the opportunity address the concerns of the Committee. Attachments Design Review Committee Action: Members Present. McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner. Vance Pomeroy The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following: 1. Add windows to the lwo flanking masses on the east elevation of Phase 1 B. 2. Revise the Landscape Plan: a. Match the plant palette with the north side of Banyan Avenue; • b. Increase the variety of shrub types away from the ubiquitous ones (Rhaphiolepis, etc.) shown on the plan; c. Re-consider the use of both the Lombardy Poplar trees (invasive roots and high water need) and the Chinese Wistena ground coverwith substituting more appropriate species for their application.

AESTHETICS. Would the prolect a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () () () (~) b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () () () (~) not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () () () (~) quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (~) ( ) which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area Comments: a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the prolect site. The site is not within a view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15. b) The prolect site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga c) The site is located at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and is characterized by single-family residential development to the north, east, and west with multiple family residential development to the south. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this prolect In review of the architectural design aspects of the prolect, the architecture is ostensibly patterned after the gables of the existing church building, across Banyan Street, that echo the peaks of the San Gabriels beyond. However, the steep roof pitches on a bwiding of this scale present a massive structure in this largely single-family residential neighborhood. A Variance has been requested to allow the 49-foot 6-inch height associated with the roof gables, which exceeds the 35-foot height limit of the zone (see attached) The impact of the additional 14 feet 6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the building pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west More importantly, the height impact is significantly addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the west. A building separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in the Low Residential District If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the required side yard setback would have been 5 feet, therefore, a typical 2-story home would have had a far greater visual impact upon its neighbor As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below the street City standards require the developer to underground the existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution d) The prolect would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the immediate vicinity The design and placement of the light fixtures will be shown on the Site Plans which require review for consistency with City standards that requires shielding, Rev. 10/26/04 ~~ E 5~ Initial Study for <DRC2004-0105B> City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 4 ~~~ Signfira,t Lsss Issues and Supporting Information Sources. `s,on "~'„ ,n~ o~nan sum ~n+ No diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the prolect site The impact is not considered significant 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the pro/ect~ a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () (~) ( ) Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural uses b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (~) Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (~) which, due to their location or nature, could result m conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural uses Comments• a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and is characterized bysingle-family residential development to the north, east, and west with multiple family residential development to the south There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2. The motor concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and then economic viability is doubtful, therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan The General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The proposed prolect is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City c) The site is located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and is characterized by single-family residential development to the north, east and west with multiple family residential development to the south The nearest agricultural use is more than 0 5 mile northwest from the prolect site Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 3.

The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction-site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit Construction Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. The construction contractors shall provide evidence that low emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the protect. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff. • Rev 10/26104 P £ E rJo~ Initial Study for DRC2004-01058 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 6 Less Than Siprvfignt Las Issues and Su ortin Information Sources pp g Potentially Signifimnl with Mitigation Tian Sigrvfiont No I C In Ie0 I tl I d 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: • Reestablish ground cover on the construction-site through seeding and watering. • Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads. Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWC!CB]) daily to reduce Fine Particulate Matter (PMig) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~p emissions. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel-powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carved over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate i Rev 10/26/04 D £ ~ 5 a Initial Study for <DRC2004-01058> City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 ~~.,rn~ Spnficatl Leas Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: pp g ameapally SipNficant wnn Mnipahm mat.

After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The protect proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors. long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create obtectionable odors No adverse impacts are anUCipated Rev 1 o/zs/oa b E E 5`1 i Initial Study for <DRC2004-01058> City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 8 ~ min SiBnifiw~l Lma Issues and Supporting Information Sources 's„nfi~;,ry, M. o nog srn~~ ,,o i~ inro~~~ i~ i~ 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the protect: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or () () () (/) through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitroe, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S Fish and W ildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat () () () (/) or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally () () () (/) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through dvect removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native () () () (/) resident or migratory fish or wildlife speaes or wdh established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances () (/) () () protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat () () () (/) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments• a) The protect site is located m an area developed with residential uses. The site has been previously disrupted during construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments and annual discing for weed abatement According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3 and Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the protect site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources, therefore, development wdl not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the protect is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan b) The protect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the protect wdl not have any impacts. c) No wetland habitat is present on-site As a result, protect implementation would have no impact on these resources. d) The matority of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated Rev 10/26/04 ~ E E ~~ Initial Study for DRC2004-01058 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 9 ~~ rn•n SigNficant Les9 Issues and Su ortin Information Sources pp g Poienually Sgnfimnl WM MiGgatlm 71ian Sigrvfiont IJo i a m t"e i a i a e) There are heritage trees on the protect site, to wit, a eucalyptus windrow on the southerly property line, therefore, the proposed protect is in conflict with any local ordinance unless the following mitigation measure is followed 1) A Tree Removal Permit was previously approved by the City Planner to remove the Eucalyptus windrow. The windrow must be replaced in no less than 5-gallon m size and no further apart khan 8 feet on center along the southerly property line. f) The protect site is not located within a conservation area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Exhibit IV-4 No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the pro/ect: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () (/) significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064 57 b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological () (/) () ( ) resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (/) outside of formal cemeteries? Comments• a) The protect site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2 24 (Historic Preservation) There will be no impact. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the protect site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 511). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources The following mitigation measures shall be implemented 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will: • Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. • Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or focal point.

Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the sphere-of-influence, including the protect site, however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last °Ice Age° and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils The site has been rough graded, hence, there is little likelihood that any paleontological resources are present The protect site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented. 2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring Is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: • Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities. • Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the protect have the potential to degrade the () () () (/) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, _ _ _ threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the mafor penods of California history or prehistory? b) .Does the protect have impacts that are indwidually () () () (/) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a protect are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects) c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will () () () (/) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly Comments• a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the Cdy of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare speaes would inhabit the site. b) Ii the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Pian The 2001 General Pian was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of bwld-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the Clty adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balanang the benefits of development under the General Pian Update against the signlilcant unavoidable adverse Rev 10/26/04 tJ~ E'13 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga <DRC2004-01058> Page 27 impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is regwred c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as hawng a potentially significant impact Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D) The effects identified above for this protect were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis The following earlier analyses were utilized in completing this Initial Study and are available for review m the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division offices, 10500 Ciyic Center Drive (check all that apply): (,i) General Plan FEIR (SCH#2000061027, Certified October 17, 2001) (,/) Master Environmental Assessment for the 1989 General Plan Update (SCH #88020115, certified January 4, 1989) Rev 10/26/04 ~ ~ C • initial Study for <DRC2004-01058> APPLICANT CERTIFICATION City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 28 I certify that I am the applicant for the protect described in this Initial Study I acknowledge that I have read this Initial Study and the proposed mitigation measures Further, I have revised the protect plans or proposals and/or hereby agree to the proposed mitigation measures to avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where cle~jyjo significant environmental effects would occur.

A. Recitals. 1. Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church filed an application for the issuance of Vanance DRC2005-00278 as described in the title of this Resolution in contunction with Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01058. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subtect Vanance request is referred to as "the application " 2 On the 28th day of September 2005, 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 3. All legal preregwsites pnor 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 speafically finds that all of the facts set forth m the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearng on September 28, 2005, including wntten and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby speafically finds as follows• a. The application applies to property located at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street with a street frontage of approximately 420 feet and lot depth of approximately 375 feet, and is presently unimproved, and b. The property to the north of the subject site is a religious assembly, the property to the south consists of multiple-family residential, and the properties to the east and west are single-family residential, and c. The Variance has been requested to allow the 58-foot height associated with the roof gables that exceed the 35-foot height limit of the zone. The impact of the additional 14 feet, 6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the building pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west. More importantly, the height impact is significantly addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the west. A budding separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected m the Low Residential Distnct. If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the required side yard setback would have been 5 feet, therefore, atypicaltwo-story home would have had far greater visual impact upon its neighbor As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below the street. D£Elt,S PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO 05-94 DRC2005-00278 -SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH September 28, 2005 Page 2 3 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. Finding: That strict or literat interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistentwith the obtectives of the Development Code. FacUs The applicant has requested flexibility with the required wall height in order to better provide an attractive architectural design. b. Findin That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved orto the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. Facts: __ The project site is extraordinary because of its relative size in this neighborhood and the grade differences provided by the site design. Findin 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 FacUs. Without the Variance, the project would be deprived of privileges entoyed by other owners within the same district in developing single-family residences with substantially smaller setbacks. The proposed building height is consistent proportionally withsurrouriding properties with consideration to the property size. d. Finding: That the granting of the Vanance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties or improvements in the vanity. FacUs. Because the location of the site and its unique size in the neighborhood as well as the site design proposed, no special privilege is granted with.the Vanance. e Findin That the granting of the Vanance will not be detnmental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially intunous to properties or improvements in the vicinity. FacUs. Granting of the Variance will not be detnmental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be materially intunous to properties or improvements in the vicinity On the contrary, granting of the Vanance will provide substantially more privacy and light and ventilation for the surrounding single-family uses than the construction of single-family houses on the subtect site. p £ E l t C.o PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO O5-94 DRC2005-00278 -SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH September 28, 2005 Page 3 4 The Planning Commission herebyfinds and determines that the project identified in this Resolution is categorically exemptfrom the regwrements of the California Environmental Quality Act (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. 6.

Several bwldings were added to the site before the public school closed m 1958. In 1978 the property was purchased and renovated for the operation of Willows School until it closed in November 1981. On September 22, 1982, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 82-19 for a garden office complex and preschool on the site. Since a school previously operated on the site, a preschool was allowed on the site. The remaining four buildings were used for the garden office complex. On May 9, 1984, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 84-07 allowing the conversion of one of the office buildings into a church. On June 27, 2000, the City Planner approved the conversion of the site into Harvard Place, a private elementary school that coexisted with the existing Montessori preschool. On September 26, 2000, the City Planner approved Conditional Use Permit 00-29 for Advocate Schools (now Keystone Education) located at 10287 25th Street. The approval was for up to 40 special education students. Keystone Education quickly outgrew that location, prompting the school to relocate to a larger facility. On September 24, 2002, the City Planner approved Conditional Use Permit application DRC2002-00610 to allow Keystone Education Schools to locate to its current location. Currently, the school employs 46 teachers and staff and has approximately 99 students and is fully operational with classroom, offices, and a cafeteria. ~~ This item was continued from the August 24, 2005, meeting to the September 28, 2005, meeting to allow the Design Review Committee to review the proposal. Fa PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC 2005-00439 -KEYSTONE SCHOOLS September 28, 2005 Page 3 ANALYSIS' A. General The applicant proposes to construct two temporary modular buildings to accommodate the existing students for a four year, two-month time frame. The two, 1,440 square foot modulars will have two classrooms, an office, and a break room for employees The long-term plan for the Keystone Education School is to occupy the existing 5,644 square foot Montesson preschool (the tenant is leasing the building from Keystone Education Schools) upon expiration of the lease on October 13, 2009 Per the Development Code, the modulars must be removed within 5 years or upon completion of permanent facility, whichever comes first The temporary modulars will be removed from the site within thirty days of occupancy of the Keystone Education into the Montessori School Budding. Students are enrolled with Keystone Education by their respective school distract because they have learning challenges, autism, and various physical, emotional, and mental disabilities Keystone Education meets these needs by providing speaal instruction in a structured, individualized environment. Keystone Education serves to prepare the students for the eventual return to public school. The applicant's hours of operation will continue to be 6 30 a m to 6 00 p m for the faality and 7 30 a m and 4 30 p m for the school, Monday through Fnday. The school will also continue to operate on a year round basis July through June for a regular school year and extended school year programs Special events will continue to be held occasionally in the evenings. B Land Use Compatibility The premise of all Conditional Use Permit reviews is to ensure the compatibility of adtacent uses and separation of potential nuisance activities Potential land use compatibility issues may arse from the installation of the temporary modulars and related outdoor activities As shown on the attached Site Utilization Map, the temporary modulars will be located on the north portion of the site close to single-family homes (Exhibit B) Development Code section 17 30 080E 5 allows properties abutting the residential areas in industnal zones to have a minimum 45-foot budding setback from the property line. Although the temporary modulars will meet the required 45-foot minimum setback and outdoor activities are limited to school hours, staff has concerns about adequate noise attenuation and the safety of the students and the residential occupants. Presently, a 6-foot chain link fence is located along the northern property Ime, however, the dilapidated condition of the fence coupled with the proposed location of school buildings will not adequately address staffs concern To address this issue, staff requests that the Planning Commission consider the applicant to install a 6-foot block wall along the northem property line . C Parking' The Development Code requires a total of 40 parking spaces on-site, including the existing classrooms and Montesson preschool In addition, one space is required for each additional van used for transportation. All students are transported daily to and from F3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC 2005-00439 -KEYSTONE SCHOOLS September 28, 2005 Page 4 school via a fleet of vans, hence, the parking demand is low. With approximately 90 spaces provided, staff does not anticipate any parking conflicts to arise as a result of the proposed use (Exhibit E). D. Design Review Committee. The Design Review Committee (McPhail and Coleman) reviewed the site and architecture plans on September 6, 2005, and the protect was recommended for approval subiect to staff recommendations and conditions, particularly the construction of the 6-foot block wall along the northerly property line as a buffer to the nearby residences. The Committee recommended that the new wall be located only in the area of the proposed modulars and associated playground, not the entire length of property bne. E. Environmental Assessment: The application is exempt per Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Vallev Dadv Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the protect site. On August 1, 2005, staff received an m-person inquiry regarding the nature of the project.

Related Fdes: Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00770 and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16300. Design Parameters: The site is a part of the recently approved master plan DRC2003-00770 for three 4-story hotels: Courtyard by Marriott; Hilton Garden Inn; and a Hilton Homewood Suftes. There are four restaurant building pads (which will come under a separate entitlement), which will front along 4th Street and total 22,111 square feet. This 6,196 square foot project is the second restaurant to request a Conddonal Use Pennitto allow a Bar and design review of the prolect. The elevations of the building are not richly designed and could use significant improvement. The architectural materials consist of siding, a small amount of • stonework, pftch metal seamed roofs, and a main entryway (which fronts 4th Street). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. The applicant has not sufficiently addressed staffs earlier recommendations. The following are some further recommendations that would give the project a enhanced look: 1 previous y appAoved master plan, rCondittonal aUse Pehrmi nDRC2003-00770SIg Spe ~c recommendations include: Add a significant amount of stonework on all sides of the building (do not just add a wainscot). Be very creative and "liberal" with the amount. The north side of the building needs to mimic the south elevation along with enhancements that should be on the south elevation. If two customer °Take OuY windows are provided on the east elevation, why is there not a sidewalk in front of them? If these are not customer order/pick-up windows, then delete all 'Take OuY signs. 2. Landscaping -Staff recommends the following revisions: Provide trees and shrubs around all four sides of the building. The proposed plan is completely devoid of anything but ground cover in this area. Box size trees should be provided at least at one tree per 30 linear feet of building elevation. Provide combination of berms and continuous shrub row to screen parking areas from public view. Plant material should be selected that accents architecture, provides shade forcers, and to create a natural foundational design element that °anchors° building to the site. Be ~~/~ /creative and design a pleasant, inviting environment. ~ ~ ~q DRC AGENDA DRC2004-00379 -FAMOUS DAVES RESTAURANT July 6, 2004 Page 2 Provide accent trees along both sides of pedestrian connection to hotels. Plan should identify specific tree species for various uses. 3, Site Plan -Staff recommends the following revisions: Provide truck unloading zone (outside of drive aisles) Patio dining area should be wrapped around to the front Provide outdoor plaza area with public art or point of interest on the front of the building area. This will create a gathering place for customers, as they wart to be seated. Also, provide ample outside bench seating for customers waning for tables (the covered porch west of entry is suggested). 4. Noise Attenuation -Provide noise study and design elements to mitigate traffic noise for the outdoor patio dining area that is subject to noise levels exceeding City standards of 60/65dBA (nighUday). For example, clear Lexan panels (similar to those at Romano's Macaroni Grill Restaurant). Likewise, replace open metal railing surrounding patio wlth solid stonewall. Second_ ary issues: The following broad design issues wdl be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Signs -Identify type and materials of two proposed wall signs. Are they individual channelized letters with internal illumination? 2. Provide bicycle rack. 3. Parapets are to be high enough so as to screen all roof-mounted equipment 4. Transformers should be screened by decorative wall material which matches the architectural material of the bwlding with landscaping in front of the screen wall. 5. All freestanding lighting standards (this includes outdoor furniture, trash receptacles, and such) should be the same as the light standards for the entire master planed project. Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: f thhs perpmit pnroceuss.sAll signage~fm ssbenin conformance w th the Cipty Sign Ordinancepart of 2. No exterior downspouts are to be visible on any of the buildings. 3, Landscaping should surround the trash enclosures. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends redesign of the project and return at the discretion of the Committee as either a consent or full Rem. Desion Review Committee Action: Members Present: Fong, McPhail, Stewart Staff Planner. Doug Fenn (~~ p .. DRC AGENDA DRC2004-00379 -FAMOUS DAVES RESTAURANT July 6, 2004 _ Page 3 At the meeting, the applicant presented revised elevation that showed additional stonework. The Committee was disappointed in the changes and recommended that the following should be added to the project: a) Roof material should match what was approved in the master plan for the three hotel buildings. Metal roof material may be considered only if it is used sparingy and is not the dominant element of the building. b) More stone materials should be applied to all four sides of the building in addition to what the architect had proposed. c) Dormers and other similar type of architectural elements should be added to provide interest and variation to the roof. d) The blank wall at the north side of east elevation needs additional architectural elements. e) The landscaping plan need more variety of plant material. What was submitted appears to be insufficient. ~ ~ f) Consider adding trelliswork in the outdoor patio area as well as expanding the patio area to the south elevation. g) A plaza and waiting area should be redesigned with more landscaping, benches, and other aesthetic amenities that would be in the spirit of the approved master plan. h) Address all the identified Secondary and Policy Issues. The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff and bang the project back to the Committee for review. ~.J ~~~ CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS Doug Fenn July 19, 2005 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2004-00379 - TACAZA, INC. - A request to develop a 6,196 square foot Famous Dave's Restaurant with baron 1 4 acre of land within the Generel Industrial District (Subarea 12), located on the north side of 4th Street, east of Pittsburgh Avenue - APN: 0229-263-48 Related Files: Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00770 and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTT16300.

Related Flle: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16926 Design Parameters• The site is surrounded by vacant land and Industnal/office uses to the north and the Costco and Wicks furniture retail complex to the east across Buffalo Avenue To the west, across Richmond Place Avenue, is the Tharaldson Hotel with related restaurant and retail pad protect DRC2003-00770 To the south, across 4th Street is the Ontario Mills. The street frontages of the site are fully improved with curb and gutter. The land division is for financing purposes and is in conformance with City regulations. The pro/ect is an infill protect The proposed protect Is planned for a large inline retail building (Building 1) totaling 84,230 square feet There are four retail buildings (Buildings 2-4), including one building intended for a bank with a dnve-thru, designed to front along 4th Street. The four retail buildings range from 5,600 square feet to 5,800 square feet Two of the buildings (Buildings 2 and 3) are anchored at the southwest comer of 4th Street and Richmond Place. A diagonal onented landscape/hardscape plaza that has a large fountain at its terminus, which is visible at the 4th Street and Richmond Place intersection, bisects these buildings. All of the buildings are richly designed with a modern theme, which has a subtle industrial design, that is indicative of this area The buildings are concrete tilt-ups with strong vertical and honzontal interplay along the facades. There is also ledge/stackstone that is on towers and freestanding concrete tilt-ups walls on the primary retail building. The applicant proposes blue reflective glazing and amulti-color scheme of grays, light brown, and light earth tone green to add contrast to the buildings. Staff Comments: Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this protect• Site Plan The pnmary access into the protect is off of 4th Street, and "Lighthouse Monument" towers that are 12 feet high flank this entry Because of the large size, scale, and mass of the protect, these monument towers should be at least 20 feet in height' Additionally, these towers should have stone material instead of the proposed integral colored concrete. ~ To provide a perspective. The entry tower elements at "Town Square" at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard are 17 feet high NHS DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTPM16926 AND DRC2004-01013 -ASSOCIATED ENGINEERS, INC May 31, 2005 Page 2 The trellised pedestrian pathway that is submitted from the primary retail Building 1 to Building 4 should also be extended to connect the other buildings. This extension should be the same design material and concept as the proposed trellised pedestrian pathway 3 The site plan and landscape plans need to depict landscape planters surrounding the trash enclosures with the exception of the gate access side 4 The decorative paving at the primary entrance off of 4th street should be extended along the entire landscape median. 5 The dnve-thru for Building 5 should be extended back 10 feet to the east so as to not conflict with the adjacent on site two-way dnve aisle. Budding Elevations: Budding 1. a. Additional stonework should be designed on the entire front portions of the building that are proposed with the square reveal theme. Stonework should be added on the sides of the building of the three windows with the metal canopy overhang element The stonework at the rear of the budding should be raised to the next reveal level b. To be in concert with the two matching tower elements, the central tower like element should have reflective glazing similar to the two towers c. On the rear elevation, the roll up doors should have windows and metal trellis work over them as the applicant has proposed on the intenor roll-up doors d The comice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the entire budding. Budding 2 and 3• a. Additional stonework should be designed on the entire towerelements thatare proposed to be painted yellow. Stonework should be added on the sides of the building of the beige colored window portions b The top section of the tower element should be widened so as to appear as not a tack on design. The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the entire budding. Budding 4 a Additional stonework should be designed on the entire proposed brown painted tower On the south elevation, stonework should be raised to the next reveal line. A stonework wainscot should be added on the west and east elevations. On the west elevation, windows should be added on the yellow colored section H l l.o DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTPM16926 AND DRC2004-01013 -ASSOCIATED ENGINEERS, INC May 31, 2005 Page 3 c The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the entire budding. Buddmg 5' a Stonework should be installed on the entue gray colored window elements b. A decorative 3-foot high planter should be installed between the support columns of the dnve-thru overhang c. The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the entire bwlding Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues a. Provide material boards ofwhat materials will be used forthe circulardesign elements thatare shown on the interior drive aisles. b. Provide more trees along the north property line to help screen this protect from a future protect to the north. c The southeast corner of the protect (4th Street and Buffalo Avenue) should be enhanced to better reflect what is proposed at the 4th Street and Richmond Place intersection. d Plant trees along both sides of the sidewalk, parking space, between trellises, to provide Code compliance and additional shade to the parking lot e The covered trellis bases should be covered with stonework f. All decorative bollards should be illuminated and provided along pedestrian pathways. Policv Issues. The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion• 1 Provide decorative pavement at all dnve entry throats (outside the public right-of-way). 2 Decorative pavement used in common pathways should extend across driveways for continwty and to alert motorists. 3 Trash receptacles must be decorative to match the architecture of the protect 4 Outdoor dining patios for restaurants along 4th Street wdl regwre a noise study and appropriate sound attenuation barriers, such as Lexan panels. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the protect is revised per the above recommendations and return to the Design Review Committee as a full item N i~ DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTPM16926 AND DRC2004-01013 -ASSOCIATED ENGINEERS, INC May 31, 2005 Page 4 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman Staff Planner Doug Fenn The applicant did not receive DRC comments for this meeting The Committee continued the item to the June 14, 2005, agenda Additional Site Plan recommendations were. 1 Bwldinp 2: Shift the west parking row to the east to eliminate the large triangle of asphalt. 2 Buildma 4: Provide 15-foot landscape, including sidewalk, between the main entry and the building, or move to the opposite side 3 Bwlding 5: Revise the parking IoUdrive-thru egress to eliminate sea of asphalt and provide a less awkward circulation. ~~ ~~ ENVIRONMENTAL _ INFORMATION FORM (Part I -Initial Study) CiryolRancha Cucamonga P/emm~g DiNSlan Isosl an-2~so The purpose of this form is to inform the City of the basic components of the proposed project so that the City may review the project pursuant to City Policies, Ordinances, and Guidelines; the California Environmental Quality Act; and the City's Rules and Procedures to Implement CEQA.

The subiect ±33 0-acre site is regionally located in the Clty of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, Califomia (P/ate 1). Specifically, the pro/ed site Is located north o/ 4'" Street, south of Mission Park Drive, east of Pittsburgh Avenue, and west of Buffalo Avenue (Plate 2). Projects proposed in the area that contain potentially suitable habitat to support sensitive biological resources such as the DSF must demonstrate to reviewing agencies that potential protect-related Impacts to sensitive biological resources are avoided or minimized. In order to meet the envlronmenlal documentation and review requirements, potentially occumng sensitive biological resources must be addressed to demonstrate the applicant's conformance to California Environmental Ouallty Act (CEOA) and the federal Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. As such, this report is Intended to provide biological Information to the applicant In support of the environmental review process. As a federally listed endangered species, the DSF is protected under the Ad. As such, federal law prohibits 'take' of Ilsted species. The term `take` means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect, or attempt to engage in any such conduct. In some cases, habitat modification can constitute prohibitive `take'. The Service routinely reviews environmental documentation for proposed development projects in the area, and as such, would recommend that any impacts to sensitive biological resources be adequately addressed and mitigated pursuant to the Act and CEQA. Due to the Inherent limitations of unseasonal or habitat-based data, definitive conclusions regarding the actual presence or absence of DSF cannot be made in this analysis Accordingly, this report is intended to provide the applicant with general Information relative to the potential occurrence of DSF based solely on the nature of habitat present. Species Overview The Service Ilsted the DSF as an endangered species on September 23, 1993 This species Is only known to occur in association with Delhi sand deposits (USFWS 1997), primarily on twelve disjunct sites within a radius of about eight miles In the cities of Colton, Rialto, and Fontana in southwestern San • Bernardino and northwestern Riverside counties However, recent survey data (1997-02) Indicates that DSF occur in low numbers in sub-optimal habitat conditions The DSF Is restricted to the Colton Dunes, which covers approximately 40 square miles. More than 95 percent of the formerly known habitat has M~ i~,~ ec~e~aces.~ August 2003 ~ ~~ pate 1 Reglonai Site Location 33 0-eae Site ,I i~'{Lf.~n,~I~' 'ri.,~~ U~ , 1111'.

There is presently an estimated 1,200 acres of habitat that can support this species (USFWS 1997) However, it is unclear what properties and specific criteria were considered when the Service developed this estimate. General Habitat Characteristics Areas wntaining sandy substrates with a sparse covet of perennial shrubs and other vegetation constitute the primary habitat requirements for Rhaphromrdas flies (USFWS 1997). Potential habitat for the DSF is typically defined as areas composed of sandy soil (Delhi series) in open areas commonly dominated by California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), California Croton (Croton caldomica), and telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandrllora). Annual bur-sage (Ambrosia acanthicarpa), Rancher's fireweed (Amsinckra menziesiQ, autumn vinegar weed (Lessrngia glandulilera), sapphire eriasWm (Enastrum sapphirinum), primrose (Oenothere sp ), and Thurber's buckwheat (Enogonum thurben) are also commonly present at occupied DSF sites. In addition, insect indicator species such as Apiocera and Nemomydas are also typically associated with ocwpied DSF habitat. It is also important to note that the presence or absence of indicator species does not determine presence/absence of DSF. Rather, these indicator speaes exhibit a strong correlation to habitats occupied by DSF. A gradient of habitat suitability exists for DSF, wmposed of varying degrees of both natural and artificial conditions. DSF Recovery Unlts/Proposed Core Reserves Subregional areas encompassing smaller areas known to be inhabited by the DSF or encompassing areas that contain restorable habitat for the DSF have been grouped into three Recovery Units (RUs) by the Service based on geographic proximity, similarity of habitat, and potential genetic exchange (USFWS 1997) The subject site is located within an area designated as the Ontario RU. The Ontario RU historically contained the largest block of the Colton Dunes, however, most lands in this RU have been converted to agriculture, or developed for commercial and residential projects (USFWS 1997). The Ontario RU contains several areas that currently support DSF, and additional areas have been proposed for restoration in the DSF Recovery Plan. DSF will continue to exist in the Ontario RU only with land conservation, a cessation of current habitat-degrading land management practices and recreational uses, and/or a restoration or natural reversion of ecologically damaged lands back to an ecological community typical of Delh1 sands formations. History of other DSF wlony sites indicates that disturbed (by grading, agriculture, etc.) Delhi sands formations may, over a few years, revert back (through erosion, fossorial animal activity, and natural vegetative succession) to conditions capable of supporting DSF populations and other ecological components typical of Delhi sands formations. Variables such as the length, width, and structural characteristics of dispersal corridors have not been fully identfed Additional data will be needed on reproduction and mortality rates, dispersal, and habitat variables before further refinement of RU boundaries, development of alternative RU preserve designs, and analyses of population can be made (USFWS 1997). Until such data is obtained, the highest priority will be to protect existing populations of the DSF (USFWS 1997). To achieve downlisting, areas containing occupied and/or restorable habitat and dispersal corridors need to be evaluated relative to the extent of distribution patterns necessary to support secure populations. Sites to be protected should be selected based on habitat needs of adults and larvae, and willingness of landowners to participate in recovery efforts (USFWS 1997). Several 'Core Reserve Areas' have been initially identified by the Service, but to our knowledge, the actual extent of the proposed reserve areas have not been finalized. Occupied and/or potentially restorable habitat in the RUs includes only those areas that, at a minimum, contain Delhi Series soils. Further, RUs do not include residential and commercial development, or areas that have been otherwise permanently altered by human actions (USFWS 1997). Development in the region has been cumulatively reducing the amount of open areas Such conversions have been and will continue to lead to the permanent loss of the amount of land available for DSF. When viewed individually, it may be possible for each protect to mitigate potential project-specific impacts through the implementation of habitat replacement programs and the requirements of the regulatory processes to which each project may be subject (e g , CEQA) Cumulative impacts are expected to be addressed through participation and implementation of the Valley Wide Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (as outlined in the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Service, ~: 7 Safari Business Center September 8, 200.3 N3q other resource agencies, and local junsdictions). Additionally, regional and/or subregional DSF habitat conservation plans curently proposed for the area would also be expected to address this issue. We understand that the City of Ontario (City) is currently negotiating with the Service to develop a mutually acceptable process for implementing portions of the DSF Recovery Plan developed by the Service. We further understand that it is the intent of the City to continue to accommodate essential DSF habitat in their long-range development plans. Focused DSF Survey Guidelines The Service prepared Presence/Absence Survey Guidelines for the DSF in December 1996. In general, the guidelines maintain that in order to more fully determine the presence or absence of DSF such that the results are acceptable to the Service, a survey following these gwdelmes must be conducted. The current gwdelmes (2003) regwre that surveys be conducted in all areas containing Delhi sands twice weekly (two days per week) dunng the single annual flight penod from July 15 to September 20. However, at the discretion of the Servwe, survey guidelines may be modified depending upon individual site circumstances (e g ,highly disturbed or degraded sites that don't support constituent elements cf potential DSF habitat). Methodo/ogy Literature Search Documentation pertinent to the biological resources in the vicinity of the site was reviewed and analyzed. Information reviewed included: (1) the Federal Register listing package for the federally listed endangered DSF; (2) literature pertaining to habitat regwrements of sensitive species potentially occurring on the project site, (3) the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB 2003) information regarding sensdwe speaes potentially occurring on the prolect site in a computer report format for the Guasb USGS 7.5- minute quadrangle map, and (4) review of available reports from the general vicinity of the prolect site. Habitat-Suitability Analysis Ecological Sciences, Inc. biologists conducted a reconnaissance-level field survey on the subject site to evaluate potential habitat for DSF on September 8, 2003. Ecological Scences, Inc. biologists have observed numerous DSF in the field since 1995, and have extensive experience conducting both focused surveys and habitat assessments for this sensitive taxon Ecological Sciences, Inc. is well versed with the biotic characteristics of a range of habitats occupied by DSF, as well as other sensitive wildlife species potentially occurring in the area. The site was examined on foot by walking a serves of meandering transects across the subject property. As mentioned, the pnmary objective of the one-day field visit was to generally evaluate the site's potential to support DSF. Dominant plant species and other habitat charactenstics present at the site were identified to assess the overall habitat value Ex/sting Site Condit/ons The site is characterized as highly disturbed vacant land (separated by Richmond Place) that supports a relatively uniform coverage of non-native ruderal (weedy) plant species. The westem portion of the srte was recently exposed to weed abatement activities, which has removed a majonty of standing vegetation. Pnor to disking, the sde likely supported a dense coverage of vegetation as evidenced by the present of extensive vegetation debris. The eastern portion of the site supports a dense coverage of vegetation, similar in composition as the westem portion pdor to disking The site does not support native vegetation communities due to exposure to retuning surface disturbances Visible surface soils varied from compacted to unconsolidated, with some gravel assimilated in portions of the site. Vegetative coverage was estimated at about 85 to 100 percent The vast majonty (t95%) of the total vegetative cover is compdsed of invasive, ruderal speaes. P/ales 3a-3b illustrate existing sde conditions at the time of the September 2003 survey. . ~• ~ Safan Business Center .d ~ :S: I__ JJ' ( September 9, 2003 `-14~ . Vegetation Ruderal introduced plant species present on site included remnant cultivated grape (Vitus vrnrlera), npgut grass (Bromus d~andrus), foxtad chess (Bromus madrrtensrs ssp. rubens), ripgut grass (Bromus drandrus), Mediterranean grass (Schrsmus barbatus), filaree (Erodium crcutanum), mustard (Brassrca and/or Hrrschfeld~a spp ), Spanish clover (Lotus purshranus), pigweed (Chenopodrum sp.), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), horehound (Marrubrum vulgare), star thistle (Centaurea solstrtralis), and vetch (Astragalus sp ). Non-native grasses and weedy herbs constitute approximately 95 percent of the total on-site vegetative cover. Native plant species such as California buckwheat, slender buckwheat (Enogonum graci/e), Rancher's fireweed, telegraph weed, and western ragweed (Ambrosia psrlostachya) occur sporadically on the site. Several of these species are often wnsidered "indicators' of potential DSF habitat although their presence does not indicate DSF presence. Wildlife No DSF indicator insect species were observed during the brief survey effort conducted m September 2003 Bird speaes observed during the survey included American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). Reptile species recorded included side-blotched lizard (tile stansbunana). Mammal species directly observed, or of which sign was detected, included California ground sgwrtel (Spermophrlus beecheyi). Soil Conservatlon Map Revlew A review of soil maps prepared for the area by the U S Department of Agriculture (1980) indicate that the subject site is entirely located within an area mapped as Delhi fine sand (Db). Surtounding Land Use • The subject property is located in a commercial area of the City. The site is mostly encompassed by existing development Commercial development is located to the south and east. A small vacant lot is located to the north followed by commercial development; and a vacant lot followed by a vineyard (proposed for wmmercial development) is located to the west. The adjacent vacant lots are similar in composition as the subject lot Dlscussfon DSF have relatively narrow habdat regwrements that are determined by appropriate plant species and open sand as defining characteristic (Kingsley 1996) The presence of Delhi sods appears to be the most determinative factor of whether an area can provide swtable DSF habitat. Delhl sands constitute the primary component o- a complex ecosystem. A variety of microhabdat characteristic generally constitute potential DSF habitat (e g , Delhi soils, vegetation composition, soil chemistry, topography, percent vegetative cover, frequency of non-native plant species, exposure to disturbances, etc.). However, it rs widely acknowledged that a gradient of habitat suitability exists for DSF, composed of varying degrees of natural and artificial conditions. Comprehensive DSF population data is generally lacking and key factors regulating DSF populations have not been fully identified As such, whether thls taxon would persist over a long-term basis in less than ideal wnditions is currently unknown. While the aforementioned microhabdat conditions are considered optimaVessential to support DSF, DSF sometimes occur in areas not typically considered swtable for this taxon. Although individual DSF have been recorded from sites supporting mostly ruderal, non-native vegetation, most known DSF-occupied sites contain areas, or are adjacent to areas, of relatively undisturbed exposed patches of friable, sandy sods in assoaation with native plant speaes History of DSF colony sites indicates that previously disturbed (by grading, agriculture, etc) Delhi sands formations may revert over a few years (through erosion, aeolian processes, fossonal animal actwiry, and natural vegetative succession) back to • ~= ,~ "a„~~;y: ~ 1~ 1 Safari Business Center 1 September 9, 2003 conditions capable of supporting DSF populations However, these natural processes are dependent . upon a cessation of disturbance-related land uses, which prevent the natural reestablishment of a more characteristic Delhi sand community more often associated with potential DSF habitat. The site is not located adjacent to an area known to support DSF In addition, there is no apparent connectivity to the subiect site from the nearest known DSF population (generally t3 0 miles to the south) due to existing development that has long since fragmented potential DSF habitat in the area. While this species likely has the capability of dispersing over relatively large distances of seemingly unswtable habitats under certain arcumslances, it would be reasonable to assume based on the highly fragmented nature of habitats in the site vicinity and our current knowledge of the speces that the likelihood of DSF dispersing to the study area from any known occupied sites would be considered low. Conclusion Based on results of the 2003 habitat suitability evaluation, existing conditions at the subject t33 0-acre site are not consistent with those expected to support an extant DSF population in the region. Although several indicator plant species were recorded on the site, indicator plant species also occur on highly disturbed/degraded properties that do not support potential DSF habitat Moreover, the context in which these native plant species occur (e.g., overgrown with a dense coverage of non-native grasses and forts) does not constitute a substantive native Delhi soils plant community. Consequently, the site does not support an archetypical vegetation community more characteristically assoaated with potential DSF habitat. No significant areas of the site support exposed natural or semi-natural open areas that support unconsolidated wind-worked granitic sods or dunes The site is also not located adiacent to areas known to support DSF. The presence of dense, non-native vegetation and exposure to long-standing substrate disturbances (e g , disking and mowing) result in negative impacts to potential DSF habitat, and may also prevent potentially suitable DSF microhabitat soil conditions from developing in a manner particularly supportive . of DSF. The underlying sod environment appears to be the most definitive factor of whether an area could support DSF. Disruption of soil integnty provides opportunities for invasive vegetation to dominate the site Absent a cessation of disturbance-related activities and restoration of ecologically damaged lands back to a community typical of Delhi sands formations, the establishment of a more charactenstc Delhi sand community (more commonly associated with potential DSF habitat) would likely be prevented. The subject site is also not located in a geographic area likely considered essential to preserve for long-tens DSF conservation because of the absence of, and connectivity to, adtacent habitats considered suitable to support DSF. Accordingly, the occurence potential for DSF on the subfect site would generally be considered low. While existing site conditions do not appear to be particulady supportive of DSF as described, in order to make more definitive wnclusions relative to DSF presence or absence, the Service routinely requests the performance of focused DSF surveys following Service guidelines depending upon individual site conditions. During the environmental review process, recommendations to perform focused DSF surveys are evaluated by reviewing agencies on a case-by-case basis. However, in view of the site's existing disturbed and isolated condition, dense coverage of invasive vegetation, exposure to recuring surface disturbances, and analyses of correlative habitat information from a wide range (e g ,relatively disturbed to more natural habitats) of occupied DSF habitats in the region, the t33 0-acre site does not likely contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a viable DSF population. • ~_ s±= Safari Bus(ness Center SepfemGer 8 2C03 It has been a pleasure conducting this habitat suitability evaluation at the 333 0-acre protect site located in Rancho Cucamonga, California If you have any questions regarding results presented in this report, please don't hesitate to call.

In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated dunng grading and construction activities While most of the dust would settle on or near the protect site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area Constructidn is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and egwpment work and operate at one development site until then tasks are complete They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again Therefore, the emissions assoaated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing av quality in the region Nevertheless, fugitive dust and egwpment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Au Quality Management Distract (SCAQMD) on a protect- specific basis Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-sigmficant levels• 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. Contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction-site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, developer shall submit construction plans to City denoting the proposed schedule and protected N5o `J Initial Study for DRC2004-01013 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 Less Than SipmfitaM Lana Issues and Su ortin Information Sources pp 9 Potentially Spmficant WM MnigaGOn Then Sipruficent No I ad Inco rateG I act I ad equipment use.

Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: • Reestablish ground cover on the construction-site through seeding and watering. • Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads. J • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City If silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling: Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) daily to reduce (PMip) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWOCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PMip emissions. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. g) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the protect have the potential to degrade the () () () (/) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below seH-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the mator periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (/) limited, but cumulatively considerable? (°Cumulatively considerable° means that the incremental effects of a protect are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects) c) Does the protect have environmental effects, which () () () (/) will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments• a) Ecological Sciences prepared a Delhi Sands Flower-loving fly habdat survey. No Delhi Sands Flower-loving flies were observed on or near the site during the 2003 survey. Two consecutive years of negative surveys are required by the U S Fish and Wtldlife Service to establish absence of the species According to these criteria, absence of the species has been established at the protect site Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of buildout in the City and Sphere-of-Influence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result m significant adverse effects to aggregate H~q Initial Study for DRC2004-01013 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 26 resources, pnme farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is requved. c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study wdl ensure impacts are at less-than-signficant levels. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D) The effects identified above for this protect were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
