SUBJECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
DRC2006-00592 -RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DISTRICT - A review of a new
two-story fire district headquarters building on a 0 93 acre parcel in the Industrial
Park District (Subarea 7), located at 10600 Civic Center Drive - APN 0208-353-06
Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for
consideration
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
A Project Description The project involves the construction of a headquarters (HQ) facility for
the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District The proposed two-story L-shaped building
will be approximately 24,880 square feet in overall size and will house the administrative
functions of the Fire District including training rooms, aback-up emergency operations
command (EOC) center, an E M S supplies area, a library, etc The building is not designed
for direct emergency services/units/trucks Approximately 35 to 50 employees will be housed
in the new building The new building will be situated on the northwest corner of the site
away from the adjacent intersection, with asecured/gated parking area for 15 spaces at the
street corner Access to the site will be from Civic Center Drive to the secured parking area
and from Utica Avenue
B Site Characteristics The project site is 93 of an acre in size and slopes to the
south/southwest To the north and west sides of the site are existing parking lots and
development Although the site is currently undeveloped, it has been graded, compacted,
and was previously used as the site of the temporary police station/emergency command
center in 2003-2004, while the main Police Department building at City Hall was being
expanded The property contains utility connections, concrete strip footings, an asphalt
driveway, and is covered with mulch and gravel No vegetation exists on the site

D General Plan Designations
North - Industrial Park and Civic (for City Hall and County Court Building)
South - Industrial Park
East - industrial Park
West - Industrial Park
E Parking Required parking for the protect is 99 spaces based on the size of the building and
the intended office use Fifteen secured spaces will be provided at the southeast corner of
the site for command staff and vehicles Ten parking spaces for the public and guests will be
provided along the north "front" side of the building These visitor spaces are within the
adtacent parking lot to the north but are available for City use by means of an agreement by
and between the City and the adtacent property owner Other HQ staff members will parkin
the existing City owned employee parking lot immediately adtacent to the west side of the
site, where 115 out of the 192 existing spaces will be available for City employee use
ANALYSIS
A General
Staff finds the protect to be well-designed and appropriate for the proposed location The
subtect site is in an area of the City that is fully developed and surrounded with office
professional, civic, and light industrial uses The Industrial Park zoning designation is •
consistent with the General Plan and allows for administrative civic service uses, such as the
proposed Fire Protection District Headquarters
The protect site is nearby other civic and office uses including City Hall, Police Department,
and San Bernardino County Court facilities to the west and northwest Employee and guest
parking will be available in the adtacent parking lots to the west and north sides of the
building When completed, the protect will fill in one of the last vacant sites in the surrounding
area, and no adverse impacts are anticipated
The protect is well-designed and complementary to the general appearance of the nearby
City Hall complex The exterior walls will be clad in horizontal bands of brick veneer and
concrete and accented with the use of travertine tiles on the center portion of the second floor
and at the public entry Above the entry doors, will be aluminum panels The windows are a
combination of square and vertically oriented rectangle-shaped windows made from
aluminum storefront material Identification signs are proposed for the north and west
elevations
Finally, on-site landscaping will be provided around the building and in restricted parking
areas The corner of the site (Utica Avenue and Civic Center Drive) will be terraced to create
large planter spaces and soften the appearance of the protect at the corner and to provide a
location for placement of an identification sign to aid in public recognition of the building
B Design Review Committee The protect was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Munoz, Stewart, and Nicholson) on July 17, 2007 The Committee approved the protect as
presented, finding the protect to be well-designed and recommended that the item be
forwarded to the Planning Commission for final review and approval

C Grading and Technical Review Committee The project was reviewed by the Committees on
July 17, 2007 The item was conceptually approved
D Environmental Assessment An Initial Study was prepared for the entire project and released
for public review on July 30, 2007 Based on the findings of the Initial Study, staff determined
that the project could have a potentially significant adverse environmental impact unless

identified as subject to potential environmental impacts were in Cultural Resources,
Hydrology and Water, Noise, Air Quality (short-term during site preparation), and Geology
and Soils Proposed mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval for
the project Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for the project
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 660-foot plus radius of the project site A total of 64 notices were mailed No direct public
comment to staff has been received

descending to the east and south to the sidewalks along Civic Center Dr and Utica Ave
There is an asphalt driveway on the south side of the lot, coming off of Civic Center Dr
and terminating in a concrete apron at the edge of where the temporary buildings used to
sit There are several mature street trees along the east and south edges of the site, but
otherwise rt is bare earth Along the north edge of the site, 10 point use parking spaces are
available to this property from the neighboring parcel to the north There are also
concrete curbs and walks and a concrete drainage swale At the northeast corner of the
lot, a large transformer, detector check valve, and some additional electrical service
equipment remain from the P D 's temporary facility

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 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 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 nearest active agricultural use to the subject site is approximately 2 2 miles to the
northeast at the Fillips Winery on Base Line Road (east of Day Creek Boulevard) The
development of the subject site will not have an impact on agricultural use at that site
Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated

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) 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
in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area Construction is an
on-going industry in 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 would not violate an
air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality in the region Nevertheless, fugitive
dust and equipment 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 ~n 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 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 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
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 m 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
• 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

• 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 Gluality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce
Fine Particulate Matter (PM~o) emissions, m 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

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

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 the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model estimates m
Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Nitrogen
Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o)
would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance, therefore, would ail be
cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project 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 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 facii~ties shall post signs requiring that trucks shall
not be left idling for prolonged periods (i e , in excess of 10 minutes)

receptors long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities
According to the SCAQMD, 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

Comments
a)
According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the
protect site is within the Delhi Solis Area Boundary However, over the years, the site has
been used for a variety of temporary uses including overflow parking and most recently
(2003-2004) as the temporary home for the Police Department while permanent
improvements were being made at City Hall In fact, the site still retains a series of concrete
"strip" footings (covering approximately 50 to 60 percent of the site) and utility connections
used to accommodate the three modular units housing the Police Department No vegetation
exists on the site and the remaining portions of the site are covered in asphalt, mulch, and
gravel As such, the site has been permanently altered from its original (natural) condition,
Moreover, the area surrounding the site is nearly all developed with urban uses and
improvements such as roadways, buildings, parking lots, and ornamental landscaped areas
Therefore, the permanent development of the site will not adversely affect rare or
endangered species of plants or animals
b) The protect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities 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, protect implementation would have no
impact on these resources
d) The maJority of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any
wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated
e) No vegetation of any kind exists on the site, including heritage trees, therefore, the proposed
protect is not in conflict with any local ordinance
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

Comments
a) The project 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 5 11) 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
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological heritage
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse protect effects on significant, important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEQA guidelines
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
protect 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 Pian 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-
infiuence, including the project 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 project site is underlain by Quaternary
alluvium per General Pian Exhibit V-2, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be
implemented
2) If any paleontological resource (i a 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
I~mited 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
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the
summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (~ e , San
Bernardino County Museum)
• Submit a summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County
Museum
d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development including
construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments No known religious or sacred
sites exist within the project 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 occur until the
County Coroner has made a determination of origin 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

Comments
a) No known faults pass through the site, is not within an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor within the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General
Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 51 of the General Plan FEIR The Red Hiil Fault passes
approximately one mile northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately
4 1/2 miles to the north These faults are both capable of producing MW 6 0 to 7 0 earthquakes
Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to MW 7 5 earthquakes, and the San
Andreas Fault, capable of up to MW 8 2 earthquakes, are both located 10 to 13 miles
northeasterly of the City Each of these faults can produce strong groundshaking Adhering to
the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant
•
•
b) The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
soils The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during
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 project 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-significant levels

c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with
large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer The protect will not withdraw water
from the existing aquifer The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous area or other
unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FEIR Figure 5 1-2 Soil type on-
site consists of Delhi-fine Sand (Db) Soil association according to General Plan FEIR Exhibit
5 1-3 No adverse impacts are anticipated
d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil
deposits These types of soils are not considered to be expansive Soil type on-site consists
of Delhi-fine Sand (Db) Soil association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General

Comments
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) The
project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems The State of California
is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act The General
Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity,
requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES Permit The State Water Resource
Control Board (SWRCB) through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWOCB), Santa
Ana Region, administers these permits
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction Permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a discharger
must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permit The
General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during construction
activities, including site clearance and grading
Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SW PPP) that would

focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing Erosion and
Sediment Control Plans, and various business plans that must be developed by any
businesses that store and use hazardous materials Practices, such as periodic parking lot
sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system
The following mitigation measures would be required to control additional storm water
effluent
Construction Activities
1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the
Building Official for approval a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-
site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain
system to the maximum extent practical
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and
implemented for the proposed protect that identifies specific measures to control
on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities are
initiated through completion of grading This Erosion Control Plan shall include
the following measures at a minimum a) Specify the timing of grading and
construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern
California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to
ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of
this protect will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program
within a specified time frame
3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must
be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is
rainfall or other runoff
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed
prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to
prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site
Post- Construction Operat~onat
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Gluality
Management Plan (WQMP), prepared by Dan Guerra & Associates (July, 10,
2006), to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to
the maximum extent practical
6) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the
use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides Landscaped areas shall be monitored
and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable
growth Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of
two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the
issuance of grading permits

recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Exhibit IV-2 The
development of the site will require the grading of the site and excavation, however, would
not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 288 to 470 feet below the ground
surface As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9}, continued development citywide
will increase water needs and is a significant impact, however, CVWD has plans to meet this
increased need through the construction of future water facilities
c) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, the protect will not alter the course of any stream or river All
runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle
the flows The protect design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent
erosion A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City
Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits Therefore, the protect will not result in
substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site The impact is not considered significant
d) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river All
runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle
the flows A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City
Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will
not result in flooding on- or off-site No adverse impacts are anticipated
e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities,
which have been designed to handle the flows The protect will not result in substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the
Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits Therefore, increase
in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site No impacts are anticipated
f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase
in the amount of suspended solias in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus
resulting in surface water quality impacts The site is for new development or significant
redevelopment, therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution The following mitigation measures
shall be implemented
7) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Engineer for approval of a WQMP, including a protect description and identifying
BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system

b) The administrative civic office activities associated with this type of project normally do not
induce ground borne vibrations As such, no impacts are anticipated
c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic The proposed
activities will not significantly increase traffic, hence, are not anticipated to increase the
ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project
d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 7) indicates that during 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
1) 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
•
2) 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 The
developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as
specified in Development Code Section 17 02 120 Monitoring at other times may
be required by the Building Official Said consultant shall report their findings to
the Building Official within 24 hours, however, if noise levels exceed the above
standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building Official If
noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be
reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or
halted
3) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment, however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
transport of construction materials and debris The following mitigation measures shall then
be required
4) Haul truck deliveries 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 Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily
trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall
prepare a Noise Mitigation Plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes To
the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive
land uses or residential dwellings
e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport The site is located approximately 5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is

construction of replacement housing elsewhere
Comments
a) The protect is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population
growth Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area The protect is intended to provide a new central building to
accommodate the existing employees of the Fire District's administrative staff that currently
occupy space in City Hall and other satellite locations within the community The Fire District
expects to relocate approximately 35 staff members to the new building when completed As
such, the protect will not create a demand for additional housing as a matority of the
employees already live within the City and/or surrounding communities No impacts are
anticipated
b) The protect site contains and affects no existing housing units No adverse impact expected
c) The protect site is vacant land No impacts are anticipated

Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library
services According to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9 9), the projected increase in
library space under the General Plan will not meet the projected demand The General Plan
FEIR identified the cumulative impact on library services as a significant 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 EIR was
prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City has
opened a new library within the Victoria 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

Comments
a) Construction of the proposed Fire District Headquarters will generate approximately 234
Average Daily Trips (ADT) 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
project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts
evaluated The project is in an area that is fully developed with existing street improvements
and/or those (e g ,curb, gutter, and sidewalk, etc) which are typically included in the scope
of the project design The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of
vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections No impacts are anticipated
b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that proposed Flre District Headquarters
will generate 54 two-way trips during the P M peak hour The project is in an area that is
fully developed with all necessary street improvements The project will not negatively
impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials No impacts are anticipated
c) Located approximately 5 miles north of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight
path and will not change air traffic patterns No impacts are anticipated
d) The project is in an area that is nearly all developed Street improvements already exist
along the street frontage of the site The project design does not include any sharp curves or
dangerous intersections or farming uses The project will, therefore, not create a substantial
increase in hazards because of a design feature No impacts are anticipated

17 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 mayor 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
project are considerable when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future pro~ects)~
c) Does the project 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 City of
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3 Additionally, the site has been previously
graded and used as has nearly all area surrounding the site Based on previous
development and existing street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare
species would inhabit the site
b) If the proposed protect is approved, then the applicant will 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
projects 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 required
•
c) Development of the site under the applicable land use development standards will 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 are completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant
impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels during construction
activities 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 project were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects

FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the protect may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but
(1) Revisions in the protect plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the protect, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment
if adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study The protect file and ail related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-

ANALYSIS
A Master Plan On July 1, 2001, an application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439
was filed for the construction and occupation of a church complex on Vineyard Avenue
across from Red Hill Park The complex included several phases of construction with a
sanctuary, offices, education building, fellowship hall, and gymnasium After concluding •
the public hearing, the Planning Commission approved the project on April 24, 2002, with
15 Planning conditions, which include the following
7) The Master Plan is approved in concept only Future development for each building
proposed in Phases 2, 3, and 4 shall be subject to separate Development Review
process
9) This approval is for the operation of a church and office and does not include a
daycare or private K-12 school
Development Code Section 17 02 100, and repeated in the Standard Conditions for
DRC2001-00439, is the requirement that building permits be obtained for buildings within
five years and diligently pursued toward completion The Master Plan approved under
DRC2001-00439 expired on April 24, 2007 without the building permits for the subsequent
phases being issued
The applicant submitted this new application, Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926, for
the remaining phases that had not obtained building permits prior to the expiration The
application was accepted as complete prior to the April 24, 2007 expiration of the previous
Conditional Use Permit
Portable temporary classroom units were placed on the site in October, 2006 At the
December 13, 2006, meeting, the Planning Commission determined that the portable
temporary classroom units were part of Phase 1 and were not to be permanent but must
be associated with a permanent building which has an active Conditional Use Permit The •
permanent building to replace the temporary units is the classroom building which is part

of Phase 2 With the expiration of the 2002 Conditional Use Permit, this subject
Conditional Use Permit must be approved for the temporary classroom units to remain
The duration of those units on the site will be determined in this review
The Design Review Committee reviewed this project on June 19, 2007 Based on the
application, applicant testimony, and the Planning Commission discussion and
determination in December, the Committee recommended approval of the project
(Exhibit E)
Staff has included the recommended conditions of approval of the Design Review
Committee into the attached draft Resolution Staff has also included a condition to clarify
the status of the temporary portable classroom units vis-a-vis the permanent facilities for
that function The intent of allowing temporary facilities for temporary occupation is that
there is the anticipation of a permanent occupation of a permanent building for the same
function The portable units serve as a temporary location to house the school and
daycare facility that cannot be housed in any of the permanent buildings currently on the
site At the moment, the Phase 1 buildings, the sanctuary, and the office building cannot
serve to house the school or day care The Phase 2 classroom building apparently can
house the entire school and day care functions as the classroom building is proposed as a
two-story, 12,000 square foot structure and the temporary units are only about
4,200 square feet in floor area Therefore, the temporary portable classroom units should
be removed as soon as the classroom building can be occupied or when the five-year life
• of this approval has lapsed, whichever is first
Staff has received some complaints about the project site since the December 13, 2006,
Planning Commission meeting These complaints were confined to landscaping on the
south slope, unsightliness of the portable classroom units from the southerly
neighborhood, and lighting glare The landscaping was remedied per the landscape plan
with the replacement of damaged trees However, staff is recommending additional
review of the landscape plan as a condition of approval for this project The lighting
complaint lodged with the Code Enforcement section has not been rendered as
concluded
B School Use The second application as part of this project is for the establishment and
operation of a Kindergarten though Grade 12 school on the site The Low Density (2 to 4
dwelling units per acre) Residential District in which this site is located allows "Schools,
Private and Parochial" as a Conditional Use in general, Conditional Uses, as opposed to
Permitted Uses which are allowed by right, are allowed only if found to be compatible on a
site-specific, case-by-case basis with the surrounding land uses and with other possible
permitted uses in that district If the Conditional Use is found to be compatible, it can be
approved Otherwise, conditions must be set to make the use compatible in order to be
able to approve the use at that location
The church intends to create a new Kindergarten through Grade 12 elementary school for
general instruction in the classroom building proposed as Phase 2 of the Master Plan
portion of the project As a temporary measure while the classroom building is
• constructed, the church intends to start the school by using the portable temporary
classroom units to house the school A day care facility preschool for ages 2 through 5 is
also planned

The operation is proposed to include as many as 187 children with up to 14 teachers and
aides The hours of operation are 6 30 a m to 6 30 p m ,Monday through Friday
The key potential impacts that the use could have on the surrounding single-family uses
are parking/traffic and noise The existing parking lot consists of over 230 spaces,
therefore, parking is adequate The potential for peak movements in and out of the
parking lot would be no more, and likely much less, than the peak movements
contemplated for the Sunday worship service times
Any potential noise impact would be generated only when the students are outside During
the period of potentially up to five years that the portable units are used for classroom
space, this outdoor activity could take place where the education building is proposed
However, it is unclear from the site plan where physical education activity is planned To
minimize possible noise impacts, such activity should be concentrated toward the center
of the site and confined to the hours between 8 00 a m and 5 00 p m Staff recommends
that the location be designated by the applicant subject to the approval of the Planning
Director

C Environmental Assessment The Planning Department staff has determined that the
project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines The project qualifies under as a
Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Existing Facilities
because the project will use the existing site and there is no substantial evidence that the •
project may have a significant effect on the environment
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 660-foot radius of the project site As of the date of preparation of this report, three
letters of opposition were received from neighbors in response to the legal noticing of the
project
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926
and Non-Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00544 subject to the conditions set forth in the
accompanying draft resolutions

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00926 - WLC
ARCHITECTS -Review of a Master Plan for the remaining phases of Lifeway Church protect
development including education building, temporary classroom modules, gymnasium and
fellowship hall on 5 03 acres of land m the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre),
located at 7477 Vineyard Avenue at Calle del Prado - APN 0208-921-36 Related Files
Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439
Design Parameters On July 1, 2001, an application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-
00439 was filed for the construction and occupation of a church complex on Vineyard Avenue
across from Red Hill Park The complex included several phases of construction with a
sanctuary, offices, education building, fellowship hall, and gymnasium After concluding the
public hearing, the Planning Commission approved the protect on April 24, 2002
•
Development Code Section 17 02 100 and repeated m the Standard Conditions for DRC2001-
00439, requires that building permits be obtained for all buildings within 5 years and diligently
pursued toward completion The master plan approved under DRC2001-00439 expired on April
24, 2007, without the Building Permits for the subsequent phases being issued
The applicant submitted this new application, Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926, for the
remaining phases that have not obtained Building Permits prior to their expiration
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee •
discussion
The owner of the property has worked closely with staff to work out any technical and design
issues
Major Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this protect
At the December 13, 2006, Planning Commission meeting, the original protect approval
was brought for clarification of conditions The issues surrounded the temporary
classroom units and whether they were a part of the approved phases The portion of the
determination pertinent to this application was that the temporary classroom units were
part of the original approval of ail the phases, but that they must be associated with a
permanent building which has an active Conditional Use Permit With the expiration of the
2002 CUP, a new CUP (the one before you) must be approved for the temporary
classroom units to remain The permanent building to replace the temporary units is the
education building included in the subtect CUP
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the protect as presented

The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions.
• 1. The remaining phases approved are:
• Phase 2 -Education Building
• Phase 3 - Fellowship Hall
• Phase 4 -Gymnasium
2. The full five years permitted in Section 17.02 100 shall be extended to this approval
including the other requirements and limitations of that section, except that the
temporary classroom buildings shall be removed from the site by the end of the five
year period regardless of the status of the progress of the several phases of the
Master Plan or any extension that may be provided for the rest of the Master Plan's
phases.
3 The temporary classroom buildings shall be maintained in good condition at all
times including, but not limited to, paint. No signs and/or banners shall be installed
and/or affixed to the temporary classroom buildings.
Please note that, contrary to information conveyed at the meeting, per Planning
Condition 9 for this project (DRC2001-00439), the approval" does not include a daycare
or private K-12 school." "Private and Parochial Schools" is a conditional use in the Low
Density Residential District and requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). In order to
proceed with such a use, regardless of the buildings or facilities provided for the use, the
CUP must be approved by the Planning Commission. The current request for the Master
• Plan for the additional phases, DRC2006-00926, does not include a request for a private
school.

AUG (~ ~ 200
To Pam Stewart, Chairperson •
6~ECEIVED - PLA~!~!~~!C
We have received a letter from the city regarding a public hearing concerning the extension of the
approval for the conditional use permit for the Lrfewa} Church at 7477 Vineyard Ave , adtacent to our
propert} VVe appreciate bung notified of this hearmg, and intend to be there and voice our concerns
However, we would also like to notrfiy you ahead, u1 writing of the problems this protect has caused
for us and our neighborhood
We first became alarmed about the protect during the rntrtral grading of the property when we realized
rust what they were doing to the elevation of the landscape itself Dur uig a visit to the planning
department regarding concerns about a vanance being granted to allow the height of the original
church building to be above the standard allowance, there had been no mention of the height of future
structures planned for the property behind the church We now wonder rf your department was even
aware of Just what this would look like rn the end, or >f ther e were other reasons why we were not told
At this time, as you are aware, there are a number of portable classrooms looming directly over our
neighborhood, with very little landscaping or other ms,trgatron of any land to even attempt to soften the
effect They were placed as close to the edge as possible, we assume to maximize the usuable land
Since there rs no room for a block wall or fence we have the full view of air conditioning units, etc
and rt looks very rnapproprate and out of place in a residential neighborhood The elevation itself rs
inappropriate They sit way above the homes on the street below As you drive up Zircon toward the
portables, the visual effect rs that the portables are right on top of the houses immediately below
It rs our understandrna that future ermanent burldm~ s that are ro osed for the same location ma •
b P bC) P P Y
tower even higher than what's there now The portable buildings, as well as proposed future buildings
are overwhelming and incompatible with the surroundings What's there now (the portables) rs very
unsightly as well We feel embarassed when fiends who haven't been here recently, dive up to our
house and say something to us about how hor-rble those buildings look They look conspicuously out
of place, and something even larger on the same spot would look even more overwhelming As rs
typical with buildings, the air conditioning units, pipes, etc are placed behind the buildings so as not to
make the front of the buildings unsightly Therefore all the unsightly parts of the burldr<ngs are
looming rn the air above our neighborhood for all of us to live under
We have asked Rex Gutierrez, Diane Williams, and some members of the Planning Commission to
dnve up our street and have a Look for themselves We are asking all of the commission member s to
take a look before the meeting on August 22 Please look, and consider how you would feel living rn
our house, or rn this neighborhood It really seems that little consideration rs given for this part of
town rn general anymore, and this protect rs r Bally a slap rn the face to those of us who ar e good
citizens, tr}rng to keep this a decent community to live rn The protect looks nice from the front
because you reap} don't see the portables and rt looks decent from the neighborhood above the project
because rt seems that great pains have been taking to beautify that side of the propert} and not impact
their view, yet the back end of the protect sits right on top of us The landscaping in the front and
north of the property seems well taken care of, }~et the landscaping that was requrr ed to be put m place
rn the small strip between our propert} and the chinch, rs very neglected They have already had to
replace trees that dyed due to lack of water, blrt OIlly nl0rlths afteI We COIIlplalrled about Its The current •
landscaping rs dying rn places now and obviously neglected
EXHIBIT F ~`~
We also question the approprrateriess of a school housing up to 187 students planned for this location
• We have a legrtrmate concerns about the noise and traffic such a school wvuld bring It seems much
too intense for the area, and too close to homes
When we first moved here, 26 years ago, there was an empty field next to us It was a hill with a
gradual slope We had a view of the mountains, red-tailed hawks, and other wildlife While we wer e
blessed tv have this empty area next to us for man} years, we realized that the property would
eventually be developed However, rt never occurred to us that rt would be anything but residential
homes, or that rt that rt would bring concerns such as the ones we've mentioned
Please gyve thought to these issues and do what rs right for the existing community which has been so
disrupted by this very inappropriate building prv~ect You have the authority to not extend the
cosldrtronal use permit or allow further extension of this building project Please consider our positron,
and how you would feel rf you were rn rte

RECEIVED -PLANNING
Re NON-CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2007-00544
Operation of a Private/Pazochial School (Kindergarten through Crrade 12) and Day Care
Facility at Lifeway Church, 7477 Vineyazd Avenue (APN 0208-921-36)
Regazding the above proposal, as residents of this area, we have concerns as follows
September through June, Alta Loma High School traffic adversely affects residents ability to
enter or exit the azea using Vineyazd Avenue between Baseline and Carnelian. Both morning and
afternoon, parents' and students' cars block intersections along Vineyard Avenue and traffic
becomes snazled on Baseline as cars enter and exit the high school parking lots
Year round sporting events at Red Hill Park create a tremendous amount of traffic as well as a
large number of parked cars lining both sides of Vineyard Avenue wig parents and children
crossing the street to reach the pazk.
During the summer months, Concerts in the Park not only fill all available parking along
Vineyard Avenue (as well as side streets) but create traffic jams making rt difficult to enter or
leave the area during the time before and after the concert
Our objection is not to a private/parochial school but to the added traffic it will create. A school
and day care at Lifeway Church will add to the already over crowded streets during the same
times of day Alta Loma High School traffic and sporting/entertainment traffic is heavy
When the church was first proposed there was no objection on our part because Sunday mornings
are not usually a heavy traffic time in this azea It was our thought that perhaps the church would
allow the use of their parking facilities to supplement those of the park for special events The
gate they have installed and the signs they post warning against pazking in their lot has shown us
that we thought wrong Had we known they had the intention of opening a school and day care,
adding hundreds more cars to an already over crowded street, we would have voiced our
objection before then construction began.
As rt is now, certain hours of the day, it is difficult (if not nearly unpossible) to enter Vineyard
Avenue from intersecting streets Traffic backs up and cars block the intersections leaving
residents sitting at stop signs until someone decides to leave space allowing them to proceed onto
Vineyard Avenue. Traveling this area in the morning and corning home from work or leaving
again in the evening become time consuming and frustrating experiences
•
•
~~ ~U
Each child enrolled at Lifeway will have to be driven to and from the church each day Parents
• drivmg their children to and from the church for school or day caze will probably be on their way
to or from work, on a time schedule and in a hurry_
Adding more cars to this area, at the same time it is already over crowded, will not only add to
the traffic problems and frustrations, but will create more safety issues for students, sports
participants and those attending concerts who are crossing streets to reach their destination
What began as a nice improvement to our neighborhood has taken on a new appearance as a
possible detriment to the azea. We strongly suggest a traffic study be conducted before any
further action is taken on this proposal
Thank you for your consideration and attention to our concerns.
Sincerely,
G-p-~

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18196 - FERRERA - A request to subdivide a property of
1 acre into three parcels m the Low (L) Residential District, located at 6970 East Avenue -
APN 0227-121-34
Design Parameters The project site is located on the west side of East Avenue and south of
Victoria Street on a 1-acre parcel The parcel is generally rectangular in shape with overall
dimensions of about 320 feet from east-to-west and about 135 feet from north-to-south The
existing topography slopes gently from north-to-south The lots to the north, south, and east are
zoned Low Residential and developed with single-family residences The lot to the west is
zoned Low Residential and has been approved fora 6-lot subdivision (Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16578) and will be developed by the same applicant as the subject site Anew
cul-de-sac will be built to access both projects, with all lots taking access off of this new street
The applicant proposes subdividing the site into three lots There is an existing house on the
site that is proposed to be removed The lots meet all City development requirements except
for lot average The required lot average m the Low Residential District is 15,000 square feet
The proposed lot average is about 14,400 square feet The applicant has submitted a Variance
request with the justification being that without a Variance the lots would be much larger than
the 6-lot subdivision to the west with which it shares the cul-de-sac The approved lots to the
west range m size from 13,513 square feet to 16,419 square feet Staff is contemplating
including a condition of approval which states that the future home on Lot 1, which faces East
Avenue, be developed with a single-story home in order for the project to be more compatible
with the existing single-story homes adjacent to the project
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion
Mayor Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project
The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required average lot size of
15,000 square feet
Secondary Issues
The lots are not evenly sized (15,451, 15,412, and 12,354 square feet) Staff feels that
this may make the development of the smaller lot more difficult The smaller lot, though,
does meet all the minimum Development Code requirements
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Committee recommend approval of the
proposed parcel map as submitted to the Planning Commission

HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2006-00719 - HECTOR RUIZ - A request to
construct 2single-family residences, each with a total floor area of about 9,900 square feet
(footprint approximately 6,000 square feet) on parcels of 21,648 and 22,640 square feet in the
Very Low (VL) Residential District, located at Deer Canyon Drive - APN 1074-471-26 and 27
Background The proposed single-family residences were reviewed by the Design Review
Committee on March 20, 2007, and a follow-up review on June 5, 2007 The Committee did not
accept the design for these principal reasons
• The unusual roof (a "truncated" roof with parapets) that was proposed for both houses
was inconsistent with the neighborhood and not typical for the residences m general
• The stone finishes on the north elevations of each house, were not uniformly applied m
equal proportions on the south, east, and west elevations Trim should be limited to one
architectural design and material Also, the houses were too similar m appearance and, at
a minimum, the use of different materials/trim should be used to set them apart
• The form and massing of the houses combined with the eclectic mix of trim and materials
• did not clearly project a coherent architectural theme Furthermore, it did not appear that
the client's expectations were understood by the architect nor could they be achieved
• The architectural drawings did not "read" well, i e details were not drawn correctly Also,
interpretation of the plans was difficult because of the missing shading that would normally
provide an impression of depth and relief on atwo-dimensional drawing
The applicant was directed to revise the proposal and resubmit for Committee review
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion
Since the last review meeting, a new architect has been retained for this project The new
architect has revised the architecture and the plans to reflect the comments noted above The
roofs of each house are now conventional in their design and consistent with the neighborhood
and residences m general Another significant change is both houses are clearly different
Considering they have the same exact floor plan, the previous architect was encouraged to
explore ways to differentiate the two houses The new architect has achieved this goal by
providing differences between the two houses by varying the following areas the front
entrances, "tower" elements above the foyers, roof lines, front and rear balconies,
windows/window trim, application of decorative stone veneer, and colors The architectural
theme for each house is now focused and distinct Both houses now reflect the City's design
standards and goals To assist the Committee, the architect has provided renderings that
convey the "movement" of the wall planes
Secondary Issues The following issues must be revised and will be verified during Building
and Safety plan check

Walls shall be limited to a maximum height of 6 feet while the maximum height of retaining
walls is 4 feet (m both the instances, the maximum height is 3 feet when the wall is located
within the front yard setback area) Note walls and fences shall not encroach into the
equestrian easement located along Deer Canyon Road
2 The maximum lot coverage within the Very Low (VL) Residential District is 25 percent
including the roof overhangs The proposed lot coverage is 20 percent The plans
submitted for plan check shall have the correct lot coverage Furthermore, the property
owners shall be notified that any future additions or structures on each respective lot are
restricted by this lot coverage limit
Staff Recommendation Staff believes the revisions address the concerns indicated by the
Committee and the outcome is very positive Any additional changes can be addressed as
conditions of approval Staff recommends approval of the project to the Committee

SUBTPM18680
Design Parameters The project site is a rectangular parcel of about 330 feet (north to south) by
165 feet (east to west) The site is vacant and is dominated by short grasses and shrubs The
property is bound on the east by the I-15 Freeway To the north is a small office/warehouse
complex comprised of two buildings while to the south is a refueling station Across the street
are numerous warehouse buildings ranging in size between 50,000 to 200,000 square feet The
zoning of the property and all surrounding properties are within the General Industrial (GI)
District, Subarea 13 The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and
• south sides of about 1,083 and 1,077 feet, respectively
The applicant proposes an office/warehouse of 22,680 square feet The building will be
subdivided into three condominium units with their own office and warehouse spaces In
addition to the first floor, the office each of the units will have a second floor office The office
areas will be located along the east side of the building with their corresponding entrances
facing the freeway The building will have three roll-up doors to allow access to the warehouse
area of each unit Because of the layout of the building, the doors are not located next to each
other or on the same building elevation Instead there will be one door on each side except to
the west (facing the street) There will be two points of access via Charles Smith Avenue
Sixty-four parking stalls for employees and customers will be provided with the majority being
located at the east side of the project site The remainder will be at the south and north sides of
the site There will be no dedicated truck parking, however, there will space for
loading/unloading at the roll-up doors Landscape coverage is 16 2 percent, the minimum
requirement is 12 percent for this development district
The proposed building will be of concrete tilt-up construction painted with a palette of four
different colors An additional primary material will be stackstone veneer while a secondary
material will be glass panels Key features include tower elements with raised parapets and
stone-veneered flared "legs " Each office area has a canopy over its respective entry Glass is
generously incorporated around each office area on both floors, at the towers, and at equal
intervals along the east elevation Glass panels are provided to a lesser extent along the west
elevation stackstone veneer will be applied to the "legs" of each tower element The midpoint
tower at the east elevation will have stackstone applied to its entire face while the midpoint
tower at the west elevation will have this veneer limited to the lower 13 feet of its face The top
edge of the parapets at each tower element will incorporate aform-lined relief

Major Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project In general, architectural elements have not been uniformly applied The
following changes are recommended
Provide additional glass panels on the west elevation This elevation faces Charles Smith
Avenue and, in comparison to the east elevation, is relatively bare
2 Apply stacked stone on the entire face of the midpoint tower located at the west side of the
building to match the tower located on the east side of the building
3 Provide a continuous form-lined relief along the entire top edge of the parapet
4 Indicate the potential or target uses for the proposed center and how on-site parking was
determined and will be maintained by the property owner to support future uses Based
on submitted plans, on-site parking has been calculated for a warehouse use with limited
office areas This means that future alterations to the office areas or allowing a more
intensive use will not be allowed because of inadequate on-site parking to support these
potential changes Prospective tenants must be notified of these limitations
Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues
•
Add overhead trellis at the employee lunch area The overhead trellis shall have cross •
members spaced no more than 18-inch on center with minimum dimensions of
4 inches by 12 inches Also, each support column shall have a decorative base that
incorporates the architectural finishes/trim used on the building such as stacked stone and
decorative cap The trellis shall be painted to match the building
2 Provide a draft Uniform Sign Program for the project including drawings indicated overall
quantity and placement of signs on the building and site A final approved sign program is
required prior to the installation of any signs at the site
Policy Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion
Incorporate undulating berms along the Charles Smith Avenue frontage within the
landscape setback and landscape areas
2 Landscaping along the shared property line with the I-15 Freeway shall include a minimum
of one 24-inch box tree per 3 parking stalls, shrubs spaced 18 inches on center, and
appropriate ground cover
3 All ground-mounted equipment, utility boxes including transformers, and back-flow devices
shall be surrounded by a minimum of two rows of shrubs spaced a minimum of 18" on
center
4 Decorative paving shall be provided at the primary vehicular access point on to the site
5 Ail doors (roll-up, dock doors, emergency access) shall be painted to match the color of •
the adjacent wall or glass panel

Design Parameters The subject property is a relatively flat site which contains portions of a
remnant vineyard The Parcel is within the Haven Office Overlay Zone and there are no public
improvements on the Haven Avenue frontage The undergrounding of existing utility poles will
be required The site is vacant Office/Commercial to the north and south, there is existing
Office/Commercial to the east across Haven Avenue, and the site to the west is bordered by
existing apartments The site is also in proximity to the existing Civic Center •
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion
Major Issues There are no mayor issues The overall architecture and massing is compatible
with the Haven Office Overlay Zone
Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues
Pedestrian amernties are not clearly identified or developed at the street intersections,
driveway connections, walkway connections, or the amval plaza area on the west side of
the office building
2 A Sign Program has not been submitted and with the retail buildings component particular
care needs to be taken that the office campus atmosphere required under the Haven
Office Overlay is not undermined
3 The project is proposed without a phasing plan even though the bank does not have any
architecture proposed The applicant would like to provide a building pad only with all
other improvements constructed around the building site
Policv Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion •

Y
that provide shade to pedestrian spaces shall be utilized whenever possible Employee
outdoor eating areas shall be provided as an integral part of site designs Consideration is
recommended as in the above comment "pedestrian amernties"
2 Architecture within a Master Planned development shall have a compatible design style,
with variation, in the building style, form, and materials in accordance with the architectural
standards of the Overlay District It is noted that the proposed bank is not specified It is
recommended that a minimum condition of approval for architectural consistency for the
future bank budding be accepted
3 Pedestrian plazas or courtyards shall be designed to create an attractive, comfortable, and
functional setting with a "sense of place " A combination of the follownng design elements
are encouraged, but are not limited to pavement or surface texture, elevat~oNgrade
changes, use of landscape materials and stnactures to provide shade and define enclosed
spaces, seating (e g , benches, steps, or raised planters), and outdoor eating areas In
addition, the use of water features, covered walkways, kiosks and public art are
encouraged Redesign to meet this requirement
4 Accent treatment such as changes in exterior materials and texture is encouraged in
conjunction with venation in the mayor form-giving elements of a structure The retail
building component does not meet these criteria and it had been previously recommended
that a redesign that is at least two-story in nature (retail 1st floor/office 2nd floor) that is
• consistent with the architecture of the office budding be used The current proposal has
portions of these buildings at a story and a half This could be a compromise, however,
the DRC needs to determine if this is sufficient or if they would prefer atwo-story
appearance at least at the portions closest to the Haven Avenue and Arrow Route
intersection In addition, the applicants were encouraged to create a deeper entry offset to
emphasize the entrance area DRC should consider this aspect and provide direction
The Haven frontage of the office budding is not an entrance The DRC could consider or
recommend a similar treatment as what was used at the Civic Center, which consists of a
formal but non-functional entrance
5 A consistent streetscape design theme shall be developed along the Haven Avenue
streetscape, which incorporates intensified landscaping with specimen size trees, alluvial
rockscape, mounding, meandering sidewalks, and appropriate street furniture
Landscaping materials shall be selected which provide a historic link to the City's past,
such as Eucalyptus windrows, citrus trees, and grape vines In addition, a program of
street name monument signs shall be developed to include low profile, natural alluvial rock
monument signs with individual letters formed in a sandblasted concrete face Please
note that the extensive areas proposed along Haven Avenue for the water quality retention
has never been as extensively proposed as shown Please provide a cross section
analysis as previously discussed Other recent submittals for Haven Overlay properties
have included the use of stacked stone instead of alluvial rock and vineyard planting and
have received favorable consideration
6 A coordinated Uniform Sign Program shall be required for any development, including wall
and monument signs Budding wall signs shall consist of the individual letters Canned
• signs are prohibited The size, number, typical design, and the location of the signs, as
permitted by the City's Sign Ordinance, shall be submitted with the development

To Lou Munoz
We have r ecerved a letter from the city regarding a public hearing concerning the extension of the
approval for the conditional use permit for the Lifeway Church at 7477 Vineyard Ave , adjacent to our
property We appreciate being notified of this hearing, and intend to be then e and voice our concerns
However, we would also like to notifiy you ahead, rn wi sting of the problems this project has caused
for us and our neighborhood
We first became alarmed about the project during the uitrtial grading of the property when we realized
dust what they were doing to the elevation of the landscape itself During a visit to the planning
department r egai ding concerns about a variance being granted to allow the height of the or igmal
church building to be above the standard allowance, there had been no mention of the height of future
structures planned foi the property behind the church We now wonder if y our department was even
aware of~ust what this would look like in the end, or if there were other reasons why we were not told
At this time, as you are aware, there aie a number of portable classrooms looming directly over our
neighborhood, with very little landscaping of other mitigation of any kind to even attempt to soften the
effect They were placed as close to the edge as possible, we assume to maximize the usuable land
Since there is no room foi a block wall or fence we have the full view of air conditioning units, etc
and rt looks very inappropriate and out of place m a residential neighborhood The elevation itself is
inappropriate They sit way above the homes on the street below As you drive up Zircon toward the
portables, the visual effect is that the portables are right on top of the houses immediately below
It rs our understanding that future permanent building{s) that aie proposed for the same location may
tower even higher than what's there now The portable buildings, as well as proposed future buildings
are overwhelming and incompatible with the surroundings What's there now (the portables} is very
unsightly as well We feel embarassed when friends who haven't been here recently, drive up to ow
house and say something to us about how horrible those buildings look They look conspicuously out
of place, and something even larger on the same spot would look even more overwhelming AS is
t} pical with buildings, the an conditioning units, pipes, etc are placed behind the buildings so as not to
make the front of the buildings unsightly Therefore all the unsightly parts of the buildings aie
loommng in the air above our neighborhood for all of us to live under
We have asked Rex Gutierrez, Diane Williams, and some members of the Planning Commissivn to
drive up our street and have a look far themselves We are asking all of the commission members to
take a look before the meeting on August 22 Please look, and consider how y ou would feel living ui
our house, of in this neighbor hood It r catty seems that little consideration is given fvr this part of
town ur general anymore, and this pr o~ect is r catty a slap m the face to those of us who ar e good
citizens, trying to keep this a decent community to live in The project looks nice from the front
because you really don't see the portables and it looks decent from the neighborhood above the project
because rt seems that gi eat pains have been taking to beautifj that side of the property and not impact
then view, } et the back end of the protect sits right on top of us The Iandscapnlg in the front and
not th of the pr open} seems well taken car e of, yet the landscaping that was required to be put rn place
in the small strip between our property and the church, is vei} neglected They have already had to
replace trees that died due to lack of water, but only months after we complained about rt ~ The cur rent
landscaping is dying rn places now and obviously neglected
We also question the appiop~iateness of a school housing up to 1~7 students planned for this location
We have a legitimate concerns about the noise and traffic such a school would b~mg It seems much
too intense for the area, and too close to homes
When we first moved here, 26 years ago, there was an empt} field next to us It was a hill with a
gradual slope We had a view of the mountains, red-tailed hawks, and other wildlife While we were
blessed to have this empty area next to us for manyyear5, we realized that the property would

Jennifer,
_ Contacts
Calendar 'Just an update after our conversation yesterday afternoon since I
couldn't sleep this morning
FYI, Gwyn was able to talk to several of the Etiwanda Historical Society
Board members last evening, and the balance are being contacted today The
EHS will be bidding on the ebay documents, and I didn't want them to be in a
bidding war with anyone else interested in returning the files to the
community So if you hear of another bidder, we need to talk
It is my understanding that several years ago, while the Chaffey barn was
being built, Bob Hickcox entrusted your grandfather with most of his
historic documents relating to Etiwanda water Do you happen to know if
they may have been included with the Johnston stuffy It seemed that the
Etiwanda Water Company Articles of Incorporation, included in the ebay
items, could have been the originals If so, the document pre-dates the
Johnston arrival by about six years
As a final item, years ago Jerry created the first Chaffey-Garcia video I
had loaned your grandfather several 35mm slides and prints, many of which
were reproduced in the video Do you happen to know if the photos still
exist?
Thanks Jennifer to be continued
Jim
Now you can see trouble before he arnves

Jennifer,
I'll probably need to get out of the loop on this one Although the
Johnston descendants certainly have the legal nght to do as they please, I
think that they have tarnished the Johnston, Pearson, and Clark legacies
both morally and ethically I have two of the Frost Brothers store ledgers,
and I will do what I can to prevent my children from ever selling them to
the highest bidders
Options ,
The Johnston items on ebay are item #120153196110, and the bidding closes
Sunday, 8/26/07 at 17 05 22 PDT I'll relay all of this to the Etiwanda
Historical Society in a few hours The Rancho Cucamonga Historic
Preservation Commission will be in Etiwanda this afternoon
If possible, I would appreciate a response to the Hickcox collection
question, and whether my photos are still in the family
Thanks Jennifer,
Jim

Public hearing on anon-construction conditional use perm.xt for the X.ife
Way Church expansion of Kindergarten through Grade 12, including
temporary classroom modules, gymnasium and a fellowship hall.
Traffic and Parking:
First of all, the last thirtg we need in the surrounding area is more traffic VVe
can't even deal with the existing high school overflow and current lack of
adequate parking provided by the high school. Vineyard Avenue is full from
school students parking. Then, following school, traffic from sports and
other activities flood the streets.
'l~here is a two hour parking limit oia Ironwood, Agate, and Alder, This
means nothing to students, to people attending sports, music concerts,
picnics, parties etc. Feople even park in front of fire hydrants, Zf and when
we call the police department, we are told it's not a priority and "when we
have tiitte we will come by and check"
These violations occur in spite of signs clearly stating the two-hour limit
Even on regular school days, this area is not patrolled on a regular bask
during school hours. Gii school days, evenings and weekends, the parking
extends now over the top of Ironwood and down the other side of Alder
At times, mail delivery is hindered or prevented due to mailboxes being
blocked by vehicles parked in the way.

V~Je do not need another school this close to our homes; we already have
enough issues (as noted above} with existing schools such as Alta Loma
High School
This neighborhood does not need an additional school consisting of day caxe
and kindergarten through 12th grade Thts would involve adding on more
classrooms than are already there, plus a gymnasium and Fellowship hall
We also don't need the additional parking problems this would create on all
of our surrounding streets.
CuiTently, when there are sports and music activittes going an, the church is
the first to go out and put up tow-away and no parking sighs They have
limited parking in their lot. Once they consume more of the parking lot with
additional buildings, where are they goiutg to parr,? How many parlung
spaces are they required to have far the size of the church
If the church has day care through high school, what impact will this have an
the txafflc on 'Vineyard in the ix~oi~nings and later, in the afternoons when the
high schoal gets out? Who will direct traffic as children are dropped off and
picked ups
As noted, weekends, concerts and sports nights are already bad enough for
street parking problems.

Lead Agency Aoes Not Estimate Construction/4nerational EAaiss~oas
The SCAQMD has repeatedly advised the lead agency that the general plan analysis using
URBEMIS7G is woefully out of date because the model relies on EMFAC7G on-road
mobile source entission factors, which have since been updated several tunes Relying on a
model using EMFAC7G emission factors substantially underestimates mobile source
emissions Further, U1tBEMIS7G relies on trip generation rates from a version of the ITE
Trip Generation Manual that has been obsolete for a number of years The URBEMIS model
continues to be updated to reflect the most current on- and aff--road emission factors, trip
generation rates, and metbodolagies available The most current version of the model,
URBEMIS2007 version 9 2, was released in early June 2007 and is available to lead agezicie s
to assist them v~nth calculating project-specific impacts for projects in their~urisdiction
Alternatively, the lead agency can calculate air quality unpacts using the SCAQMD's CEQA
Air Quality Handbook, as lozig as the most current emission factors are used
Some of the advantages of using the URBEMIS2007 model, in addition to the fact that it
relies on the most eun-ent on- and off-road emission factors, are that it also calculates PM2.5
ezriissions (see continent #2) and COZ emissions. C02 is a greenhouse gas The Iead agency
should be aware that the Attorney General has indicated that an EIR or MND must analyze
greenhouse gas enrussions Foi• this reason and based on the passage of AB32 and recent
litigation over CEQA documents, the SCAQMD is advising lead agencies to quantify
greenhouse gas emissions_
Because the lead agency has not quantified project-specific air quality impacts from the
proposed project, it has not demonstrated that the proposed project will not generate
significant adverse construction or operational air quality impacts that may tugger further
analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
The lead agency can download the current UItBEMZS 2007 land use emissions model at
http•//www urbomis coin or, as previously mentioned, follow the calculation methodolo~es
in Chapter 9 and the Appendix to Chapter 9 in the South Coast AQMD's CEQA Air Quality
Handbook, as lozig as the most current emission factors are used
PM2.5 Significance Thresholds
2 In response to adoption of PM2 5 ambient air quality standards by U S EPA acid CARB,
SCAQMD staff has developed a methodology for calculating PM2 5 emissions when
preparing air quality analyses for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
Natiozial Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents To determine if PM2 5 au quality
impacts are significant, SCAQMD staffhas also developed recommended regional and
localized significance thres~aolds When preparing the air quality analysis for the proposed
proleet, it is recommended that the lead agency perform a PM2 5 si~iificance analysis by
following the guidance fouzid at h //www a and Gov/ce a/handbooklPM2 5/PM2 5 html
Further, SCAQMD stafl'has compiled mitigation measures to be unplemented if the PM2 5
impacts or other pollutant au quality impacts are determined to be significant Mitigation

CO Hotshots Ana~sis
NO 847 D003
3_ In the Transportation/Traffic Section 15 a through 15 g, the lead agency discusses
transportation Impacts but does not disclose potential project traffic impacts for intersections
potentially affected by the proposed project. The lead agency concludes, "The proposed
project is consistent with the Creneral Plari for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts
evaluated" and that the proposed project "will not create a substantial increase in the numbei-
ofvehicle bnps, traffic volume, or congestion in nearby intersections" but does not provide
even a summary of a current traffiic study to support that finduig For the purposes of
evaluating the proposed project's traffic impacts for CO hotspots analysis, the lead agency
should at nunuiium include the following in the final CEQA document to demonstrate that
the potential for CO hotspots is less than significant The lead agency should identify the
intersection(s) that would be affected by the proposed protect; quantify the level of service
and volume to capacity effects of the proposed project Quantifying existing traffic volumes,
the proposed traffic impacts and the unpacts from any proposed mitigation measures are
iiriportant because the results ixiay warrant performing a CO hotspots analysis The
SCAQMD recommends that a CO hotspots analysis should be performed for any intersection
where the LOS declines from C to D or for any intersection rated D or worse where the
project increases the volume to capacity ratio by two percent or more
Should the lead agency, after estunating the proposed project's traffic unpacts, believe that a
CO hotspots analysis is warranted, please refer to the most current Cal Trans guidazice
regarding performing a CO hotspots analysis This information can be obtained at the
following internet address: httn 1/www dot ca og vlhq/env/air/coprotlhtm

RE: Public Meeting: Planning Commission, Ref. Life Way Chuch, 7475 vineyard Ave
Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Sir
From the information I have received from Mrs Rich it has been brought to my attention that
the Life Way Church is planning to build several more structures on their hill side site It is
apparent that if these structures are not designed correctly, they will destroy the natural
beauty that existed on the hill before the church was built
To any resident that lives on the downhill side of the church, it quite apparent that the stark
light standards and temporary building are not in the best of taste Being a long term resident
(40 years) at the same location, I object to the lack of esathic design that was approved by
City of Rancho Cucamonga e~t~ ~~iL
It is apparent the church ~s exempt from state guidelines, hopefully they are not a exempt
from the disrupting the lives and view of the resident that live near the church I therefore
request that consideration be given to the following issues
1 Design and placement of the new structures so as not to
destroy the natural line of the hillside
8/21 /2007 1
~~ ~
Neighborhood Memo
2 The review of the current parking lot fixtures as to their
starkness'
3 A traffic study of the area to insure that the flow of the added
congestion wdl not disrupt the lives of the current homeowners
4 The removal of the current portable structures as soon as
possible
5 The planting of trees to break the harsh Ime of the church

Subject:
Public hearing on a non-constxuct~on conditional use permit far the l;.ife
~Vay Church expansion of Kindergarten through Grade 12, including
t~:noporary classroom modules, gymnasium and a fellowship hall.
7~raffac and Parkin
l~ixst of a11, the last thing we need in the surroundir.~ area is more traffic. We
c-an't even deal with the existiung high school overfl;aw and currextt lack of
~ldEquate parking pxovided by the high school. Vineyard Avenue is full front
<,~chooi students parking. 'k hen, Following school, traffic fro~rn sports ax-d
ether activtties flood the streets.
'1Chere is a two hour parking limit on ironwood, Agate, and Alder. This
rneaxts nothing to students, tv people attending sports, music conceits,
~~icnics, paxttes etc. People even park in fxont of fire hydrants. if aztd when
we call the po3ice departtxtent, we are told it's not a priority and "when we
'have time we will come by and check."
These violations occux in spite of signs clearly stating the two-hour limit.
Even on regular school days, this axes is xtot patrolled on a regular basis
during school hours. On school days, eveniwgs and weekends, the parking
extends now over the top of Ironwood and down the other side of Alder.
,~Lt times, mail delivery is hindered ox prevented due to mailboxes being
blocked by vehicles parked in the way.
With regard to the issue of parking in front ofthe fire hydrants, we have
called the City's engineering department requesting that the curbs be painted
R1ED. When we spoke to someone from the Eaagineexing ]department, we
were told that the CITY doesn't like to see the curbs paixtted red because it's
an eyesores In this case, do esthetics txtunp safety`?

Noise
We get a considerable amount of noise fronn concerts, parties, and sports
activities. VVb~en Name owners who live two and tlu ee blocks away can hear
the screaming, loud music and foul language, it's too laud and more than a
mere nuisance.
]P~~raximr and Number of Scl-aols
ate do not need another school this close to our homes; we already have
enough issues (as noted above) with existing schools such as Alta lw.ama
Nigh School.
This neighborhood does not need an additional school coztsisting ol'day care
a~~d kindergarten through 12~` grade. This would involve adding on more
cJ assrooms than are already there, plus a gymnasium and fellowship hall.
ale also don't need the additional parking problems this would create on all
o E our surrounding streets.
Currently, when there are sports and music activities goiut'tg on, the church is
the first to go out and put up tow-away and no parking signs. 'They have
limited parking in their lot. Once they consume .snore of the parking lot with
additional buildings, where are they going to pazk~ How many parking
spaces are they required to have for the size of the church
I9"the church has day care thxaugh high school, what impact will this have an
the traffic on Vineyard in the mornings and later, in the afternoons when the
high, school gets out? VVho wi11 direct traffic as children are dropped o~Tand
picked up?
,P~s noted, weekends, concerts axtd sports nights are already bad enough for
street parking problems.
I~i~htine issues:
VVe, the home owners in the surrounding area, do not want any more lights.
tiVe currently have enough light pollution from the park and the perking lot
from the new church's parking lot. The proposed expansion would add to
this problem of more buildings, more lights and less parking. The park
lights are already so bright and stay on so long that no one cart enjoy the
outdoors in the evenings any more. When we first moved here, we could see
the stars----now you can't.
