PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
The applicant proposes to demolish two non-historic buildings (a combined floor area of 13,828
square feet), construct a new Fresh & Easy building (13,969 square feet), relocate existing tenants
to vacant suites within the center, reconfigure the parking lot, upgrade the existing exterior facades
and incorporate landscape and signage changes within the existing Thomas Winery commercial
plaza. The applicant has been able to adequately accommodate the proposed new building, on-site
parking, and other associated site improvements that complement the existing winery buildings. The
entrance area for the new building is located on the southwest corner of the building.
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Single-family residential/Office Professional, Low-Medium Residential
South - Commercial buildings/Community Commercial (Foothill Boulevard Districts,
Subarea 2) •
East - Shopping plaza/Community Commercial (Foothill Boulevard Districts, Subarea 2)
West - Shopping plaza/Community Commercial (Foothill Boulevard Districts, Subarea 2)
B. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - General Commercial
North - Office, Low-Medium Residential
South - General Commercial
East - General Commercial
West - General Commercial
C. Site Characteristics. The subject property is comprised of four parcels located at the
northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue; APN 0208-101-22, 23, 24,
and 25. To the east of the project site is an existing older shopping plaza; to the south are
commercial buildings comprised of a gas station and a food establishment; to the west is
the Vineyard Gateway shopping center; to the north are single-family residential land uses
and a proposed office building. The site is currently fully developed with commercial
buildings that surround the historic Thomas Winery building. The site slopes slightly from
north to south.

Note: The applicant has submitted a parking study for the project to demonstrate the
adequacy of parking provided.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Staff finds the project to be consistent with City code requirements and a
necessary and appropriate upgrade to an existing center. The developer has been able to
adequately accommodate the proposed building, on-site parking, and other associated
site improvements without causing too much disruption to the existing tenants. The
proposed building uses natural materials such as real river rock and shingle roofing, as
well as decorative trellises to be consistent and compatible with the historic winery theme
and its architectural design. Real river rock and storefront trellises are features used in
the existing center, and the project proposes to upgrade the whole center utilizing these
• same features. The demolition of the existing buildings will improve the center's street
visibility, further enhancing the economic viability of entire area. The project is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and Rancho Cucamonga Development
Code which encourages an expansion of the City's economic base and the proper design
and integration of a given development into its surrounding context.
B. Uniform Sign Program DRC2008-00588 - As part of the redevelopment of the plaza, the
applicant proposes an amendment to the existing Uniform Sign Program #88. This will
introduce new tenant monument signs, an Entry Gateway Arch, and the Project I.D.
monument signs. The existing monument sign fronting Foothill Boulevard will be replaced
with an updated monument that will mimic the Thomas Winery in shape and materials.
Another monument sign is proposed to front on Vineyard Avenue The Project I.D.
monument sign that is proposed on the corner will also utilize the same corrugated metal
and wood material. Changes to the existing tenant signs occur gradually and will be up to
the individual tenant to upgrade any signage. The new signage will create visual interest
and will attract customers to come visit the center.
C. Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2008-00591: The 13 historic artifacts that are currently
dispersed throughout the plaza will remain in place, with the exception of the kettle and
one historic informational sign. The kettle will be moved a few feet west, and the sign will
be moved a few feet northeast from their current locations to accommodate for the new
Fresh & Easy building.
D. Variance DRC2008-00781: The applicant has requested a variance to allow for an
• increase to the parking light pole height standard from 15 feet to 18 feet. At the
September 16, 2008, Design Review Committee meeting, the applicant demonstrated
their justification of the 18-foot height light pole. The 18-foot parking lot lighting
A, B,&C- 3
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

October 22, 2008
Page 4
photometric plan demonstrated that by increasing the height by 3 feet, the increased
lighting levels in the drive lanes would provide for a safer driving and pedestrian space.
Also, because of the number and size of the existing and proposed trees, it was
demonstrated that the 18-foot lighting fixtures would not be easily viewable from off-site
properties. The subject site is surrounded by commercial development, with the exception
of the residential development to the northeast, but the slight southerly slope of the site
will help alleviate any glare issues. From a design and safety standpoint, the lighting
fixture mounting heights will be 12 feet in all pedestrian walks and at the main drive
corridors. The 18 foot lighting fixtures would only be used in the general "parking area
courts" to distinguish pedestrian-ways. For these reasons, the Committee felt comfortable
in recommending the applicant to submit a variance application for the 3-foot height
increase.
E. Tree Removal Permit DRC2008-00590: The application proposes to remove 32 Gallery
pear and 22 California Sycamore trees. Staff performed a site inspection and determined
that based on where they are located and where improvements are around them, the trees
were most likely planted as part of the initial development of the plaza in 1988. Staff
recommends approval of the tree removal permit because none of the trees proposed for
removal are mature enough to be considered historic or of cultural significance or
considered a "heritage tree" under Section 19.08 of the Municipal Code.
•
F. Tenant Relocation Plan: The applicant has submitted a tenant relocation plan and
timetable to demonstrate how the existing tenants will be accommodated for relocation. A •
condition in the draft resolution of approval includes a provision that the tenants must be
adequately relocated prior to any demolition permits being issued. The applicant's
projected timetable for the project is shown as Exhibit L. Upon recent staff inspection,
only two tenants, Antonino's Italian restaurant and Yatai restaurant are going to be
relocated within the center. Within the two buildings proposed for demolition, the other
businesses have already moved or were given options to relocate within the center but
have declined.
G. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee (Addington
and Miller) reviewed the application on September 16, 2008. The Committee accepted
the application and recommended approval.
H. Design Review Committee: The Committee (Stewart, Munoz, and Nicholson) reviewed
the project on September 16, 2008. The Committee requested that they work with staff on
the corner site plan and require the applicant to submit a variance application for the
parking light pole height standard. The Committee felt comfortable supporting the
variance request and directed the project to come back for review as a Consent item on
the October 14, 2008, Design Review Committee meeting. The applicant made the
revisions as requested, and the Committee accepted and recommends approval. The
Committee reviewed the revised site plan and corner detail and recommended that the
project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review.
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 as a Class 2b
A,B,&C- 4

• October 22, 2008
Page 5
exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction)
because the project includes replacement of a commercial structure with a new structure
of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity and there is no substantial evidence
that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The project includes
demolishing commercial buildings totaling 13,828 square feet and constructing a new
commercial building totaling 13,969 square feet which meets the threshold of
"substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity."
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 and within the expanded notification area beyond the
standard 660-foot radius to all property owners within the Foothill Boulevard Subarea 2, as
required per Development Code Section 17 32.080.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review DRC2008-00587,
Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2008-00591, and Variance DRC2008-00781 as conditioned in
the attached Resolutions

DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN REVIEW DRC2008-00587 - LEGG MASON REAL ESTATE
INVESTORS, INC. -Development and design review of the Thomas Winery Plaza by adding a
13,969 sq. ft commercial/grocery building and demolition of two non-historic commercial
buildings of 13,828 sq. ft with additional site, landscaping and signage changes in the Specialty
Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 2) at the Northeast corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue; APN 0208-101-22, 23, 24, 25. Related Files:
Preliminary Review DRC2007-01019; Tree Removal Permit DRC2008-00590; Uniform Sign
Program DRC2008-00588; Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2008-00591.
Design Parameters: The subject project is located at the Northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard
and Vineyard Avenue at the existing Thomas Winery Plaza. This area is designated "Specialty
Commercial (SC)" within the Foothill Boulevard Districts. Projects within this particular SC zone
are to complement the existing winery structure and provide a unifying theme through
architecture and specialty uses, which promote a special landmark quality or create a special
ambience, which is unique to this particular area.
Project Description and Architectural Design: The applicant has been working with Staff to
incorporate as many elements to the project to enhance the historic winery theme through the
Design Review process. This has been done through incorporating materials for the new Fresh
& Easy building that complement the Thomas Winery building such as river rock, shingle
roofing, and the use of trellis enhancements to soften the appearance of blank wall planes of the
• building. The applicant also proposes an "enhancement" for the whole center by repainting the
existing buildings that are complementary to the Winery and Fresh & Easy building with various
shades of green, ivory, mauve and brown.
The project also introduces an upgrade to the existing Uniform Sign program, which introduces
new monument signs and an entry gateway arch, with materials that mimic the still building.
The historic artifacts that are currently dispersed throughout the plaza will remain in place with
the exception of the "kettle" and one historic informational sign, which will be relocated just a
few feet away.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: There are no major issues.
Secondary Issues: Staff has identified several secondary issues for discussion:
The exterior lighting plan for the site exceeds the maximum light standard of 15 feet. The
applicant would like to take an average of the standard height by using 12-foot lightpoles
through the main accessway and using 18-foot lightpoles in parking areas. As a result,
the photometric plan shows various areas that indicate illumination that exceeds the
maximum 5-foot candles. The applicant shall demonstrate why using the 15-foot height
standard would not be viable.
2. Suitability of the amendment to the existing Uniform Sign Program #88: Monument sign,
Entry Gateway Arch, Project I.D. Sign, Fresh & Easy signs, and tenant signs.
EXFiI~IT M A,B,&~- 4,
3. The corner site plan shall be designed to accommodate the pedestrian and create visual •
interest while incorporating improvements indicated in the Foothill Boulevard Visual
Improvement Plan such as brick concrete pavers.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. All roof-mounted equipment shall be completely screened by the parapet.
2. All signs are subject to the City's Sign Ordinance.
3. All colors, materials, and textures shall complement the established architectural theme of
the historic Thomas Winery building and still building.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved subject to the above
comments.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Stewart, Munoz, and Nicholson
Staff Planner: Mayuko Nakajima
The Committee directed the applicant to revise the application as follows and resubmit •
the application for afollow-up review as a consent item:
1. The applicant demonstrated why using the 18-foot height lightpole would be more
practical than the 15-foot height standard. The Committee felt comfortable in
recommending the applicant to submit a Variance application for the 3-foot height
increase.
2. The Committee appreciated the signs proposed and recommended no changes to the
design at this time (Monument sign, Entry Gateway Arch, Project I.D. Sign).
3. Create more articulation on the corner with a "terraced" river rock feature to produce
depth.

DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN REVIEW DRC2008-00587 - LEGG MASON REAL ESTATE INVESTORS,
INC. -Development and Design Review of the Thomas Winery Plaza by adding a 13,969 square foot
commercial/grocery building and demolition of two non-historic commercial buildings of 13,828 square
feet with additional site, landscaping, and signage changes in the Specialty Commercial District of the
Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 2), located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Vineyard Avenue - APN: 0208-101-22, 23, 24, and 25. This project is categorically exempt per Section
15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City CEQA
Guidelines. It is a Class 2b categorical exemption because the project includes replacement of a
commercial structure with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity. Related
Files: Preliminary Review DRC2007-01019, Tree Removal Permit DRC2008-00590, Uniform Sign
Program DRC2008-00588, Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2008-00591, and Variance
DRC2008-00761.
Backoround: This application was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on September 16, 2008.
At that time, staff presented the project and the Committee directed the applicant to revise the application
as follows and resubmit the application for afollow-up review as a Consent item:
1. The applicant demonstrated why using the 18-foot height lightpola would be more practical than
the 15-foot height standard. The Committee felt comfortable in recommending the applicant to
• submit a variance application for the 3-foot height increase.
2. The Committee appreciated the signs proposed and recommended no changes to the design at
this time (Monument sign, Entry Gateway Arch, Project I.D. Sign).
3. Create more articulation on the corner with a "terraced" river rock feature to produce depth.
The applicant revised as follows:
1. The applicant submitted a variance application for an increased light standard height.
2. Sign designs are the same, but the applicant has revised the height to conform to the current Sign
Ordinance.
3. The applicant has proposed a modification of the previously proposed corner plan that exhibits
more depth by creating a "terraced" river rock feature as recommended by the Design Review
Committee. The following features were revised:
The river rock walls are terraced at two levels with an 18-inch high wall in the triangular
planter area beneath the Corner ID sign and approximately 4-foot high retaining wall
elsewhere as currently existing at this location. This results in the sign to be slightly lower
than first proposed to create articulation and depth.
b. Berming was added to help merge the sign into the river rock wall.
• c. Geometric stamped brick pattern concrete was added to create uniformity and add visual
interest to the corner.

d. The stamped brick pattern concrete is now incorporated into the parking court to maintain
continuity.
e. A Route 66 logo was added to fit inside one of the geometric grids.
f. The number of lighted bollards was increased from four to six.
g. Double row of Crape Myrtle trees were added on each street frontage.
h. Two Chinese Pistache trees were added to line up with the Crape Myrtle trees. These accent
trees help define the corner.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval and forwarding to the Planning Commission for
review and action.

AND VINEYARD AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - APN: 0208-101-22, 23, 24, AND 25.
A. Recitals.
1. Legg Mason Real Estate Investors, Inc. filed an application for the issuance of Variance
DRC2008-00781 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Variance request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of October 2008, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date.
All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
• NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on October 22, 2008, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to 4 parcels located at the northeast corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue south of San Bernardino Road, an overall area of about
11.6 acres with a street frontage along Foothill Boulevard, Vineyard Avenue, and San Bernardino
Road of about 500 feet, 580 feet, and 500 feet, respectively; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site issingle-family residential; the property
to the south consists of commercial buildings comprised of a gas station and a food establishment;
the property to the east is an older shopping plaza; and the property to the west is the Vineyard
Gateway shopping plaza; and
c. The applicant proposes to install parking light poles with the height of 18 feet, a
3-foot increase to the height standard of 15 feet in conjunction with Development Review
DRC2008-00587. The additional height is necessary to provide better lighting distribution.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
• above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
A, B,&C- 70
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-56
DRC2008-00781 - LEGG MASON REA ESTATE INVESTORS, INC.
October 22, 2008 •
Page 2
a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives
of the Development Code, in that a 15-foot height limit would cause a 20 percent increase in the
number of fixtures within the parking areas because of light distribution dynamics, which would
result in a more cluttered parking environment not consistent with the historic Winery theme. Also,
the higher fixtures will be more efficient and provide more visibility in the drive corridors for public
safety purposes.
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district. In that, retaining the historic Thomas Winery atmosphere must be
considered when creating a plaza with a "village-like" setting. The 12-foot high pedestrian scale
fixtures help promote this atmosphere. Parking courts should be distinguished from this
streetscape, in part, by 18-foot high fixtures which contrast the on-site pedestrian-ways with vehicle
parking courts. To make all light fixtures a uniform 15-foot height throughout the site, would defeat
this visual design objective and the 20 percent increase in number of fixtures would add visual
clutter and standard "strip center" appearance in lieu of a more creative design acknowledgement of
the "Shopping Village" theme that this property offers.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. In
that, adjacent and nearby commercial sites reveal fixture heights in excess of 15 feet in this area of •
the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, such as the adjacent center to the east and south of the project site.
This development includes a light fixture combination of 12-foot and 18-foot high fixtures which
enhances the historic winery theme and reinforces the Foothill Boulevard Corridor design guidelines.
d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. In that, the height
increase will allow the property to utilize a much higher quality light fixture package than nearby
commercial properties, unique to the historic and architectural qualities to the Thomas Winery Plaza.
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In that, the 18-foot
parking lot lighting photometric plan demonstrated that by increasing the height by 3 feet, the
increased lighting levels in the drive lanes would provide for a safer driving and pedestrian space.
4. 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 the Class 2c exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15302 (categorical exemption) because replacement of the parking light fixtures from the
existing is a negligible increase in capacity and in addition, there is no substantial evidence that the
protect may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed
the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent
judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
a. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission .
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the variance application.

ANALYSIS:
•
A. Land Use Summary and Operations: The 122-room hotel will offer breakfast, outdoor
dining area with fireplace, pool and spa, outdoor barbeque, fire pit and seating area with
enhanced paving. The applicant's permit consultant, Charles Joseph Associates, has
indicated to staff that the hotel will offer the incidental serving of beer and wine. The
Development Code permits the incidental serving of beer and wine in conjunction with the
issuance of a Type 41 license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
A Type 41 License (On Sale Beer and Wine-Eating Place) authorizes the sale of beer
and wine for consumption on the licensed premises with the stipulation that the owner
must operate and maintain the licensed premises as a bona fide eating place. Under a •
Type 41 License, minors are permitted on the premises. Condition of Approval No. 3 in
the Draft Resolution of Approval requires that should the hotel operator wish to offer
distilled spirits or operate a bar at a future date, the Development Code requires the filing
of a Conditional Use Permit and the issuance of all applicable ABC license(s).
B. Workforce Operations and Hours: The hotel operator anticipates that the hotel workforce
will consist of 5 Office/Managerial employees (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.); a
Housekeeping/Maintenance Team of 17 employees (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.); Front Desk
Morning Team (2 employees per shift from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.); Front Desk Afternoon Team
(2 employees per shift from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.) and 1 Night Auditor (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) In
total, depending on occupancy, the total number of employees at the hotel is estimated at
32.
C. Architecture and Site Design: The applicant is proposing afour-story, 122-room hotel,
utilizing the following exterior materials: brushed metal (2 shades), smooth stucco, grey
ceramic tile, glass and E.I.F.S. The design includes a pone-cochere with a metal canopy
using interlocking zinc panels, outdoor fireplace and trellis feature at the west elevation,
decorative concrete at both entry points, and an outdoor plaza at the corner of
Haven Avenue and 6th Street. The hotel design showcases an urban-inspired tower
element at the northwest corner of the building, utilizing brushed metal, glass and angled
roof element that provides a focal point. All pedestrian crosswalks are designed with
decorative concrete. Sixth Street will also include an attractive bus shelter that
incorporates design elements of the hotel. The trash enclosure takes its inspiration from
the elements and features on the hotel. Because of Fire Code restrictions, trees are not •
permitted immediately adjacent to the east elevation. Berming has been utilized along the
D-2

Haven Avenue and 6th Street frontages. The pool area incorporates the use of decorative
pavement, fire pit, water feature and 2 seating areas.
D. Land Use Compatibility: Haven Avenue is the City's primary gateway corridor to and from
the surrounding region, as well as the City's primary arterial for automobile and aviation
connection points to interstate travel systems. Because of its location near the geographic
center and its function as a major north-south corridor with access opportunities to the I-10
Freeway and Ontario Airport, the City has a rare opportunity to enhance its image and
identity by encouraging high-quality office development and complimentary land uses
typically found in urban environments.
The project will promote land use goals of the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6) within
the Haven Avenue Overlay District by allowing for a hospitality use to be developed in
close proximity to office, commercial and food uses that will maximize the economic
position of the Haven Avenue corridor. Further, the proposed hotel meets the desired land
use requirements and economic goals of the Haven Overlay District by offering transient
occupancy to business travelers and visitors at a high visibility location on the City's
primary north-south arterial. As discussed above, the hotel incorporates several
architectural features that meet the urban and sophisticated design requirements of the
Haven Overlay District. All of the adjacent land uses are compatible with the proposed
hotel.
• E. Noise. Odor and Vibration: The proposed hotel will not create any noise, odor or vibration
that will negatively impact adjacent land uses.
F. Roof-Mounted Equipment: All roof-mounted equipment will be screened by the parapet.
G. Grading Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Grading Committee on
September 16, 2008. The Committee recommended approval.
H. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed on September 16, 2008, by the
Design Review Committee (Munoz, Stewart and Nicholson). At the meeting, the applicant
presented revised plans which satisfied the major and secondary issues to the satisfaction
of the Committee. With the revisions presented by the applicant, the Committee
recommended approval and that the project be forwarded on to the Planning Commission
for review and action. The Committee's comments and the revisions presented by the
applicant are included as conditions of approval in the attached Resolution of Approval.
Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on
September 16, 2008, and recommended approval subject to the Standard Conditions
outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval.
J. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the
potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that
• Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related
D-3
to Cultural Resources, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Air Quality and Geology and
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DRC2007-00542 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES
October 22, 2008
Page 4
Soils, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant
effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration
was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation
Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance
with, the mitigation measures for the project.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper. Staff required the applicant to post a large 4-foot by 8-foot Notice of Filing
sign on the property.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impacts and approved Development Review DRC2007-00542 by
adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.

• DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:20 p. m. Donald Granger September 16, 2008
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00542 - CHARLES
JOSEPH ASSOCIATES -The design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for the
development of a 122-room hotel, with the incidental serving of beer and wine, totaling 94,000 square
feet on 2.97 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6) within the Haven Avenue Overlay
District, located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street - APN: 0210-081-13. Staff has
prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
Design Parameters: The 2.97-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and
6th Street. To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is arecently-completed
multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the Universal Technical Institute, a
technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across 6th Street, are office buildings. The project
site is vacant with no existing trees or structures. No demolition or removal of significant vegetation or
trees will be required. The parcel is relatively flat, sloping towards the south.
The Haven Avenue Overlay District requires exemplary, sophisticated urban office architecture, and site
planking should promote acampus-like environment utilizing plazas, courtyards, and other pedestrian
amenities. Architecture that makes strong use of glass, rich materials (granite, travertine, etc ), metal,
recesses, openings, and portals are highly sought after, and vertical and horizontal articulation in the wall
planes is required. Wood framed structures and low, lineal buildings in the Haven Overlay District are
discouraged. The use of stucco in the Haven Overlay District is strongly discouraged.
The applicant is proposing a ,four-story, 122-room hotel, utilizing the following exterior materials:
brushed metal (two shades), smooth stucco, grey ceramic tile, glass, and E.I.F.S. The design includes a
Porte cochere with a metal canopy using interlocking zinc panels, outdoor fireplace, and trellis feature at
the west elevation; decorative concrete at both entry points; and an outdoor plaza at the corner of
Haven Avenue and 6th Street. The hotel design showcases a tower element at the northwest building
corner, utilizing brushed metal, glass, and an angled roof element that provides a focal point. All
pedestrian crosswalks are designed with decorative concrete. An attractive bus shelter that incorporates
design elements of the hotel also will be included on 6th Street. The trash enclosure takes its inspiration
from the elements and features of the hotel. Because of Fire Code restrictions, trees are not permitted
immediately adjacent to the east elevation. Berming has been utilized along the Haven Avenue and
6th Street frontages. The pool area incorporates the use of decorative pavement, fire pit, water feature,
and two seating areas.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
Overall, staff compliments the architectural design of the hotel. Since Haven Avenue is a gateway
corridor, staff recommends the following enhancements be made in order to fulfill the requirement
of two primary building materials and exemplary architecture:
• At the west elevation, on the ground floor wall plane, fireplace, HVAC screen wall,
8-foot by 16-foot block columns and low split-face wall at the trellis feature, utilize gray
raramir. Lila vanaar rmaterial note 5) instead of E.I.F S and split-face block, respectively.

Page 2 •
At the west elevation, the trellis feature proposes the use of 2 feet by 8 feet, 2 feet by 6 feet,
and 2 feet by 4 feet lumber. Staff recommends using larger sized lumber with decorative
edges in order to create a greater architectural presence and better withstand the effects of
weathering.
As noted above, both sophisticated architecture and exemplary site planning is required in the
Haven Avenue Overlay District. Because of Haven Avenue being designated as a Special
Boulevard and the high visibility of the corner, the plaza should be enhanced with some of the
following site features: placement of art or water feature, lighted bollards or use of ground
uplighting, and terraced landscaped planters.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Utilize colored concrete at all handicapped parking stalls.
2. The colored concrete entry treatment off both driveways should be extending deeper into the
project site, terminating at a logical point, such as the crosswalk.
3. In order to maintain the integrity of the view from Haven Avenue and preserve initial visual
impressions of the protect, the trash enclosure near the Haven Avenue driveway should be shifted
td a less prominent location such as the southeast area of the site.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. All light fixtures shall have glare shields in order to confine the area of illumination within the project
site.
All outdoor furniture (tables, benches, trash receptacles, bollards, etc.) shall be uniform.
All signs shall meet the City's Sign Ordinance requirements.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee review the project in
light of the comments outlined above and provide additional input and direction. Staff recommends that
with the issues addressed to the satisfaction of the Committee, the project be recommended for approval
and forwarded on to the Planning Commission for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Munoz, Stewart, Nicholson
Staff Planner Donald Granger
At the meeting, the applicant presented revised plans which satisfied the Major and Secondary Issues to
the satisfaction of the Committee. Specifically, the applicant presented revised plans which included the
following changes: •
At the west elevation, on the ground floor wall plane, fireplace, HVAC screen wall, 8-foot by 16-foot
block columns, and low wall at the trellis feature, gray honed block will utilized.

• DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7'20 p.m. Donald Granger September 16, 2008
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00542 - CHARLES
JOSEPH ASSOCIATES -The design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for the
development of a 122-room hotel, with the incidental serving of beer and wine, totaling 94,000 square
feet on 2.97 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6) within the Haven Avenue Overlay
District, located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street - APN: 0210-081-13. Staff has
prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
Design Parameters: The 2 97-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and
6th Street. To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is arecently-completed
multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the Universal Technical Institute, a
technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across 6th Street, are office buildings. The project
site is vacant with no existing trees or structures. No demolition or removal of significant vegetation or
trees will be required. The parcel is relatively flat, sloping towards the south.
The Haven Avenue Overlay District requires exemplary, sophisticated urban office architecture, and site
planning should promote acampus-like environment utilizing plazas, courtyards, and other pedestrian
amenities. Architecture that makes strong use of glass, rich materials (granite, travertine, etc.), metal,
recesses, openings, and portals are highly sought after, and vertical and horizontal articulation in the wall
• planes is required. Wood framed structures and low, lineal buildings in the Haven Overlay District are
discouraged. The use of stucco in the Haven Overlay District is strongly discouraged.
The applicant is proposing a ,four-story, 122-room hotel, utilizing the following exterior materials:
brushed metal (two shades), smooth stucco, grey ceramic tile, glass, and E.I.F.S. The design includes a
Porte cochere with a metal canopy using interlocking zinc panels, outdoor fireplace, and trellis feature at
the west elevation; decorative concrete at both entry points; and an outdoor plaza at the corner of
Haven Avenue and 6th Street. The hotel design showcases a tower element at the northwest building
corner, utilizing brushed metal, glass, and an angled roof element that provides a focal point. All
pedestrian crosswalks are designed with decorative concrete. An attractive bus shelter that incorporates
design elements of the hotel also will be included on 6th Street. The trash enclosure takes its inspiration
from the elements and features of the hotel. Because of Fire Code restrictions, trees are not permitted
immediately adjacent to the east elevation. Berming has been utilized along the Haven Avenue and
6th Street frontages. The pool area incorporates the use of decorative pavement, fire pit, water feature,
and two seating areas.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
Overall, staff compliments the architectural design of the hotel. Since Haven Avenue is a gateway
corridor, staff recommends the following enhancements be made in order to fulfill the requirement
of two primary building materials and exemplary architecture:
• At the west elevation, on the ground floor wall plane, fireplace, HVAC screen wall,
8-foot by 16-foot block columns and low split-face wall at the trellis feature, utilize gray
raramir tiles vanaar rmaterial note 5) instead of E.I.F.S and split-face block, respectively.

Page 2
At the west elevation, the trellis feature proposes the use of 2 feet by 8 feet, 2 feet by 6 feet,
and 2 feet by 4 feet lumber. Staff recommends using larger sized lumber with decorative
edges in order to create a greater architectural presence and better withstand the effects of
weathering.
2. As noted above, both sophisticated architecture and exemplary site planning is required in the
Haven Avenue Overlay District. Because of Haven Avenue being designated as a Special
Boulevard and the high visibility of the corner, the plaza should be enhanced with some of the
following site features: placement of art or water feature, lighted bollards or use of ground
upliohtino. and terraced landscaped planters.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Utilize colored concrete at all handicapped parking stalls.
2. The colored concrete entry treatment off both driveways should be extending deeper into the
project site, terminating at a logical point, such as the crosswalk.
In order to maintain the integrity of the view from Haven Avenue and preserve initial visual
impressions of the project, the trash enclosure near the Haven Avenue driveway should be shifted
to a less prominent location such as the southeast area of the site.
Policy Issues: The following items area matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
All light fixtures shall have glare shields in order to confine the area of illumination within the project
site.
2. All outdoor furniture (tables, benches, trash receptacles, bollards, etc.) shall be uniform.
All signs shall meet the City's Sign Ordinance requirements.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee review the project in
light of the comments outlined above and provide additional input and direction. Staff recommends that
with the issues addressed to the satisfaction of the Committee, the project be recommended for approval
and forwarded on to the Planning Commission for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Munoz, Stewart, Nicholson
Staff Planner: Donald Granger
At the meeting, the applicant presented revised plans which satisfied the Major and Secondary Issues to
the satisfaction of the Committee. Specifically, the applicant presented revised plans which included the
following changes:
•
•
•
At the west elevation, on the ground floor wall plane, fireplace, HVAC screen wall, 8-foot by 16-foot
block columns, and low wall at the trellis feature, gray honed block will utilized.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () () (/) ( )
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, Including, but () () () (/)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () () () (/)
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (/) ( )
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?
Comments
r 1
L J
a) The project site is within a designated Special Boulevard and is located adjacent to a view
corridor, Haven Avenue. It is the City's desire to have permanent locations within the City
where scenic vistas of the foothills can be enjoyed. The four-story hotel buildings will have a
setback of 139 feet from Haven Avenue and 92 feet from 6th Street, both of which are
classified as Special Boulevards. With the extra deep setbacks as described above, the view
corridor well not be negatively impacted, views to the foothills and valleys will be preserved for
recreational driving, and the impact will be less-than-significant.
b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic
Highway. The project site is vacant. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of
Rancho Cucamonga.
c) The 2.97-acre project site is located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street.
To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is arecently-completed
multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the Universal Technical
Institute, a technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across 6th Street, are office
buildings. The project site is vacant, with no existing trees or structures. The visual quality
of the area will not degrade as a result of this protect. Design review is required prior to
approval. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines
and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures
in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said
Resolution.
d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on Site Plans
which require review for consistency with Clty standards that requires shielding, diffusing, or
indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of
illumination within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.

2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () (/) ( )
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?

J
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. The 2.97-acre project site is located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue
and 6th Street. To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is a
recently-completed multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the
Universal Technical Institute, a technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across
6th Street, are office buildings. The project site is vacant, with no existing trees or structures.
There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third is
either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2. The
major concentrations of designated farmlands are located In the southern and eastern
portions of our City that are characterized by existing and planned development. Further,
two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres,
and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as •
farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan 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 protect 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 2.97-acre project site is located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street.
To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is arecently-completed
multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the Universal Technical
Institute, a technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across 6th Street, are office
buildings. The project site is vacant, with no existing trees or structures. The nearest
agricultural use, a vineyard that is not actively being farmed, is located approximately
1/4 mile to the south. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the protect:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
()
()
(/)
( )
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute O (/) O ( )
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of () () (/) (/)
any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State
ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors)?

Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6), continued development will contribute to the
pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a
significant 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) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty
construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use well 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 project 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
project-specific basis. -
As prescribed by SCAQMD, an air Impact study was prepared by Urban Crossroads that
utilizes the Urban Emissions Model URBEMIS 2007 methodology (version 9.2.4) to evaluate
construction and operational emissions. As shown in Table 4-2 (page 27), the emissions
associated with construction of the protect under the worst case conditions are not expected
to exceed pollutant thresholds established by the SCAQMD. The report estimates 997 daily
vehicle trips generated daily associated with the operation of the project. As shown in
Table 4-3 (page 30), the results of the analysis indicate that protect-related emissions for
operational emissions will not exceed the regional pollutant criteria thresholds established by
the SCAQMD.
In addition, localized significance thresholds (LSTs) were analyzed in the air quality analysis
by Urban Crossroads. LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project that will not
cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent federal or state ambient air quality
standard at the nearest receptor. LSTs are set based on ambient concentrations in the
project area, and the distance to the closest sensitive receptors. Localized construction
impacts were not analyzed in the City's General Plan EIR. LST emissions for construction
and operations are shown in Tables 4-4 and 4-5, Pages 33 and 34, respectively. As shown
in the Tables 4-4 and 4-5, the results indicate that the project does not exceed screening
level LSTs for construction and operation. The project is not expected to have a significant
• localized impact.
Therefore, as required by the SCAQMD, an URBEMIS 2007 study was performed to
calculate protect emissions, and the model results indicate that construction and operational
emissions.of the proposed project would not be significant. The construction and operational

emissions of the project are below regional and localized significance threshdlds for criteria
pollutants as indicated in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. The full text and appendix (model outputs are
located in the appendix) of the URBEMIS 2007 focused air quality study can be referenced at
the end of the Initial Study Part II.
CO Hot Spot Analysis: A CO hotspot is a localized concentration of carbon monoxide that is
above State and/or Federal 1-hour or 8-hour ambient air standards that is generally
associated with idling or slow moving traffic. Based on SCAOMD guidance, It is
recommended that a CO hotspot analysis be performed if the project meets either of the
following two conditions: 1) The volume to capacity ratio increases by two percent or more
as a result of a proposed protect for Intersections rated Level of Service (LOS) D or worse, or
If the LOS declines from C to D; or 2) The LOS declines from A, B or C to D, E or F. The City
of Rancho Cucamonga's Traffic Division has determined that the proposed hotel project does
not warrant a traffic impact analyses, since it does not have the potential to generate
significant traffic on local roadways. Therefore, because the project does not have the
potential to significantly affect local roadways and Intersections, background CO levels in the
project area are low, and project-generated traffic does not have the potential to create a CO
hotspot. The air quality analysis by Urban Crossroads indicates that impacts to CO hotspots
are considered less-than-segnificant.
Global Climate Change Analysis: On June 1, 2005, through Executive Order S-3-05,
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger mandated Green House Gas (GHG) reduction
targets as follows: by 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; by 2020 reduce GHG
emissions to 1990 levels; by 2050 reduce GHG emisseons 80 percent below 1990 levels. In
2006, Assembly BIII 32 (A632), the California Global Warmeng Solutions Act, was signed into
law by Governor Schwarzenegger, giving the California Air Resources Board (GARB) premary
responsibility for reducing statewede greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The
place of climate change in the CEQA process was acknowledged in August of 2007 with the
approval of Senate Bill 97 (SB97). SB97 gives the Offece of Planning and Research (OPR)
the authority to draft CEQA guidelines for addressing global climate change, and requeres
OPR to develop guidelines for the feasible mitigation of greenhouse gas emisseons or the
effects of greenhouse gas emissions by July 2009, and these must be adopted by the
Resource Agency by January 2010. Although SB97 does not protect public agencies from
CEQA challenges, limits are placed on CEQA challenges for certain infrastructure protects
financed by Propositeons 1 B and 1 E.
Carbon dioxide emissions associated with the development and operation of the proposed
project were estimated using the URBEMIS 2007 model, and include emissions resulting
from project construction, protect-generated traffic, project natural gas use, and emissions
resulting from gasoline powered landscape maintenance equepment. Based on project
greenhouse gas emissions estimates, et is not anticipated that the proposed hotel protect
alone would substantially contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions inventories. It is
estimated that long-term protect operations will result in emissions of approximately
1,748.55 metric tons per year of COZ. Compared to Californea's estimated 2004 greenhouse
gas emisseons of approximately 492 million metric tons, the contribution of the project would
represent 0.00036 percent of statewede emisseons. Therefore, the project would not have a
segnificant impact upon global climate change. Further, the project will be required to comply
with Title 24, thereby increasing building energy and water use efficiency, resulting In a
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The project is consistent with SCAQMD's 2007
AQMP, as well as growth forecasts for the area. Therefore, the incremental contribution to
criteria pollutants of the project Is not considered cumulatively significant.

Even though the construction and long-term operational emissions will be less than
SCAQMD's regional and localized standards, the project will be conditioned to implement the
following mitigation measures per the City's General Plan FEIR in order further reduce actual
emissions:
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so
as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
construction site for City verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit
Construction Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that
low-emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use
was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall
also conform to any' construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in
SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or
high-volume, low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCADMD
Rule 1108.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
• Re-establish 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.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is
carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
• Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
•
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.

6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water duality Control Board [RW~CB]) daily to reduce
Fine Particulate Matter (PM~g) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RW~CB) shall be applied to
all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~g emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered
equipment where feasible.
9) The construction contractor shall ensure that Construction Grading Plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
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 in Table 5.6-4 of the
General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive
Organic Gases (ROG), and Flne Particulate Matter (PM,g) would exceed SCAQMD
thresholds for significance; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be
mitigated on a project bases 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 Clty 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 project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation
measures shall be implemented:
10) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks shall
not be left idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
11) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for
vanpools.
12) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas.
t3) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink schedule to
the extent reasonably feasible.
14) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
15) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR Identified
the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for
which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council.

ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General
Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. See also discussion, analysis,
'and mitigation measures under b) above.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities.
According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they
are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants
identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located more than a 1/4 mile from the
nearest sensitive receptor. However, during construction, there is the possibility of fugitive
dust to be generated from grading the site. See also discussion, analysis, and mitigation
measures under b) above. The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce
impacts to less-than-significant levels.

Comments
a) The project site is located in an area that Is substantially developed with warehouse, office,
industrial, and office parks. The site has been previously disrupted during construction of
infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement. According
to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is
not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, the hotel project will not
adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the
project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land
Use Plan. Additionally, no known sensitive habitats are located nearby the project site.
b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat
exists on-site, nor are there any rivers or seasonal streams/ponds. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
c) No wetland habitat is present on-site. No riparian habitat exists on-site, nor are there any
rivers or seasonal streams/ponds. As a result, project 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 riparian habitat exists on-site, nor are there any
rivers or seasonal streams/ponds. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) There are no heritage trees on the project site; therefore, the proposed protect is not in
conflict with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance.
The project 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 project 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 archaeological heritage of the area.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse project 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
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) Indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an
alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the
sphere-of-influence, including the protect site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating
for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during
the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene
epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man
occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by
Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore, the following mitigation
measures shall be implemented:
• 2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered
before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings

that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation
measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be
limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid
removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time
during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed
salvage. 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 (i.e., San
Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to the San Bernardino
County Museum.
d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The
project site has already been disrupted by construction of infrastructure and surrounding
developments/annual discing for weed abatement. 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.
6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial
adverse eftects, including the risk of loss, injury, or
death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as () () () (/)

a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General
Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The Red Hill Fault, passes within
3 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 6 miles north of the
project site. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San
Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to M,„ 7.5 earthquakes, is located approximately 14 miles
northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is
located approximately 16 miles northeasterly of the site. 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:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and RW~CB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as
possible
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
off-site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to
minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes.
•
4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWG1C8) shall be applied to
all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM,o emissions.

c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with
large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer. The project would 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 types
on-site consist of Tujunga loamy sand according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General
Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.13. These soils typically have slopes that range from 0 to 5 percent.
Runoff for Tufunga soils is slow to very slow. 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 types on-site consist
of Tujunga loamy sand according to General Plan Exhibit V3 and General Plan FEIR Exhibit
5.13. These soils typically have slopes that range from 0 to 5 percent. Runoff for Tujunga
soils is slow to very slow. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will connect to and be served by the existing local sewer system for wastewater
disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed.

a) The project will not involve the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The City
participates in a countywide interagency coalition that is considered a full service Hazardous
Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the state. The City is in the
process of developing an Emergency Operations Plan to meet State and Federal
requirements. The City has approved a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan which has received
State and Federal approvals. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations
concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the
potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are
expected.
b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels. The
City participates in a countywide interagency coalition that is considered a full service
Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the state. The
City is in the process of developing an Emergency Operations Plan to meet State and
Federal requirements. The City has approved a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan which has

c) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The project site is located
approximately 1 mile from the nearest school. Typically, the hotels do not create
obtectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The proposed protect is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent
site inspection did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of
hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated.
e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan, but is within 2 miles of a public
airport, Ontario Airport. However, the project site is located approximately 1.25 mile
northeasterly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is
anticipated.
•
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles west of the
City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies
and procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of a
disaster. Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is
required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no adverse
impacts are anticipated.
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban
Wildland Interface area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District
Strategic Plan 2000-2005; however, the proposed project site is not located within a high fire
hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-7. Fire Construction Services is requiring
that the protect be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system, a listed Central Station
Fire Alarm system that will monitor the fire sprinkler system and an automatic/manual fire
alarm system prior to occupancy. With the imposition and installation of these fire detection
and suppression systems, the impact is considered less-than-significant.

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 (RWQCB), 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 Construction
Permit. The General Construction 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 (SWPPP) that would
specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants
from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from
moving off-site into receiving waters.
Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
Pertorm inspections of all BMPs.
•
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project
discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment
requires an NPDES Permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). To comply with the NPDES, the
construction contractor of the project will be required to prepare a SWPPP during
construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for
post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has
submitted a WQMP, prepared by TGA Development and Engineering, Inc. that
identifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the amount of pollutants,
such as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from
driveways, roads, and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an
on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and non-structural control
methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant levels include
detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls
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 project 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 project 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 Operational:
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP), prepared by TGA Development and Engineering, Inc.,
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.
b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from groundwater in
the Cucamonga and Chino Basins. CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates
demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed project will not deplete groundwater
supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a
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
well 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 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, 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. The project 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 project will not result in
substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered significant.
d) 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, 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 impacts are anticipated.

has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number)
shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
g) The project site Is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan
Exhibit V-5. Additionally, the proposed project is a hotel and will not include any housing. No
adverse impacts are expected.
h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan
Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and
provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system
includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined
channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Exhibit V-6. The project
site Is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5.
No adverse Impacts are expected.
There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore, impacts from seiche
and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep
eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams.
Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the
level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams
and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City.

(/)
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () () (/)
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the
project (including, but not limited to, a general plan,
specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning
ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan () () () (/)
or natural community conservation plan?
Comments
a) The 2.97-acre project site is located at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street.
To the east is an existing warehouse building, and to the south is a recently-completed
multi-building office park. To the west, across Haven Avenue, is the Universal Technical
Institute, a technical school for automotive repair. To the north, across 6th Street, are office
buildings. The project site is vacant, with no existing trees or structures. The visual quality
of the area will not degrade as a result of this project. This project will be of similar design
and size to the surrounding area and land uses (office, commercial, and industrial). The
project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The project site land use designation is Industrial Park, which permits hotels subject to a
Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does
not interfere with any policies for environmental protection. As such, no impacts are
anticipated.
c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area.
According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the
project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will
not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that
the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan
Land Use Plan.
10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral () () () (/)
resource that would be of value to the region and the
residents of the State?
b) Result in the loss of avatlability of a locally important O O O (/)
mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City
General Plan, Figure IV-1 and Table IV-1; therefore, there is no impact.
b) The site is not designated by the General Plan, Figure IV-1 and Table IV-1, as a valuable
mineral resource recovery site; therefore, there is no impact.

project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a protect within the vicinity of a private airstrip, () () () (/)
would the project expose people residing or working in
the protect area to excessive noise levels?
Comments
a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Exhibit V-13 at build-out. Directly north of the project site is 6th Street, and
directly west is Haven Avenue. Both Haven Avenue and 6th Street are classified as Major
Divided Arterials. The protect site (hotel) is subject to traffic noise levels of 60dBA within
500 feet of the centerline of Haven Avenue and within 146 feet of the centerline of 6th Street.
Accordingly, a noise analysis was completed by Urban Crossroads (June 2008) to analyze
interior noise levels and how the hotel could meet the following standard: 45dBA interior
from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 40dBA interior from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The noise study states that the traffic predication noise model indicates that exterior noise
levels at the building fagade will range from 61.9 to 66.9 dBA Ldn. With a windows closed
condition and dual glazing with a minimum rating of STC 26 or higher for all guest rooms, the
interior noise levels will range from 30.8 to 35.8 dBA Ldn, meeting the City's interior noise
level requirement of 45dBA interior from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 40dBA interior from 10 p.m. to
7 a.m.. Mitigation measures listed below would reduce interior noise levels to
less-than-significant levels:
1) Interior: All windows for all guest rooms shall be dual-glazed and shall have a
minimum STC rating of 26 or higher.
b) Hotel uses 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:
2) 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.
3) The construction contractor shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or
mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with the
manufacturer's standards.
4) The construction contractor shall place all stationary equipment so that emitted
noise is directed away from the noise sensitive receptors nearest the project
site.
5) The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will
create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and
noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.
6) 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.
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment; however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
trarisport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall
then be required:
7) 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 1.25 mile northeasterly of the Ontario Airport and is
offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west of
the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.

12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either () () (/) ( )
directly (tor example, by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other Infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, () () () (/)
necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating () () () (/)
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Comments•
a) The project 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. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited number of
employees; hence, ii will not create a demand for additional housing as a majority of the
employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. The impact is
considered less-than-significant.
•
b) The project site contains no existing housing units or structures. No adverse impact
expected.
c) The project site is vacant land with no structures. No impacts are anticipated.
13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial
adverse physical impacts associated with fhe provision of new
or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order
to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection? () () () (/)
b) Police protection? () () () (/)
c) Schools? O O O (/)
d) Parks? () () () (/)
e) Other public facilities? () () () (/)
Comments:
•
a) The site, located at the southeast corner of 6th Street and Haven Avenue, will be served by
Fire Station 174, located less than 2 miles from the project site. The protect will not require
the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline
in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard
conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project
so no impacts to fire services will occur. No impacts are anticipated.

b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change the
pattern of uses within-the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled.
c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and the
Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project will be required to pay School Fees as
prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of building permits. No impacts are anticipated.
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located approximately 1 mile from the protect site. The project will not require
the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline
in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard
condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts
are anticipated.
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According
to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.9.9), the 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 protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the EIR was prepared and
impacts evaluated. Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City built a new library within
the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet, which is
in excess of the protected need of 15,500 square feet at build-out of the City.
14. RECREATION. Would the project:
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and () () () (/)
regional parks or other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or () () () (/)
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
Comments:
a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located approximately 1 mile from the protect site. This project is not
proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in
the use of parks or other recreational facilities. A standard condition of approval will require
the developer to pay park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated.

15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in () () (/) ( )
relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the
street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in
either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to
capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of () () (/) ( )
service standard established by the county congestion
management agency for designated roads or
highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including () () () (/)
either an increase in traffic levels or a change in
location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature () () () (/)
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? () () () (/)
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? () () () (/)
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (/)
supporting alternative transportation (e g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks)?
Comments
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate a total of 1,243 average daily vehicle
trips. The proposed project includes the development of a 122-room hotel. The Rancho
Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each room will generate 10.19 average daily trips.
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 protect is in an
area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in the project
design. The protect will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic
volume, or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street
improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City
roadway standards. The protect will have right deceleration lanes on Haven Avenue and
6th Street, which will permit safe vehicle movements into the project without impeding traffic
flow. A bus shelter will also be included on 6th Street, which will encourage public
transportation. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee that
must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund
roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. The impact is
considered less-than-significant.
b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each hotel room will have a generation
factor of .70 for two-way peak hour trips, resulting in 85 two-way peak hour trips for the
project. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I extension
which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair
share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of
Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these

development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management
Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting
requirement. This project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted
Transportation Development Fee prior to issuance of building permits. The_prolect is in an
area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not
negatively impact the level of service standards on adtagent arterials. -The project will be
required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage
of the site. The impact is considered less-than-significant.
c) The site is located approximately 1.25 mile northeasterly of the Ontario Airport, and 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 mostly developed. The project will be required to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) 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.
e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles and will not create
an inadequate emergency access. The project site includes two points of access, one off
Haven Avenue and one off 6th Street. Further, Fire Construction Services is requiring that
the project be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system, a listed Central Station Fire
Alarm system that will monitor the fire sprinkler system and an automatic/manual fire alarm
system prior to occupancy. With the imposition and installation of these fire detection and
suppression systems, there will be no impact.
f) The project design has adequate parking in compliance with standards of the Rancho
Cucamonga Development Code and will, therefore, not create an inadequate parking
capacity. No impacts are anticipated.
g) The project design includes, or the protect will be conditioned to provide, features supporting
transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc.).
16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the () () () (/)
applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or () () () (/)
wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause

Comments
a) The proposed project is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) sewer
system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment
plant located within Rancho Cucamonga. The project is required to meet the requirements of
the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are
anticipated.
b) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the
Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga
• and RP-1 located within the City of Ontario, neither of which are at capacity. The project is
required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board
regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated.
c) 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. The impact is not considered
significant.
d) The CVWD provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to Rancho
Cucamonga and portions of the cities of Ontario and Fontana, and a tract in Upland. The
current daily water usage in the CVWD service area is approximately 41.7 million gallons per
day (mgd). Residential water use amounts to about 60 percent of the total water consumed.

77. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the () () () (/)
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project 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 tuture
protects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects that will () () () (/)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
•
•
Comments:
a) The protect site Is located in an area that is substantially developed with warehouse, office,
industrial, and office parks. The site has been previously disrupted during construction of
infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement. According
to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is
not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, the hotel project will not
adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the •
project Is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land
Use Plan. Additionally, no known sensitive habitats are located nearby the project site.
Further, based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any
endangered or rare species would inhabit the site.

b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the
site in. accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2001 General
Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of
build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the
General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime
farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual
resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they
would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a
Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the
General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by
developing mixed-use 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.
•
LJ
c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact.
Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts
resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities
were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with
the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial
Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.
EARLIER ANALYSES

6th Street - APN: 0210-081-13.
Project Description: The design review of building elevations ,and detailed site plan for the
development of a 122-room hotel, with the incidental serving of beer and wine, totaling
94,000 square feet on 2.97 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 6) within the Haven
Avenue Overlay District. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental
impacts for consideration.
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 project 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 project 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 project, 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 project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax

Cultural Resources
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 archaeological heritage of
the area.
•, Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of
approval to eliminate adverse project 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 project area. Submit one copy of the completed report,
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures
(i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not
be limited to, the following measures:
Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval ofearth-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.

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 grading plan,
and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific
measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of 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

Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
• 3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly.
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

Page 2
3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staffs is needed, as
determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identifed on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verifed for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to'the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department. The Department shall
require the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City.
These funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to
monitor and report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
9 In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
Planning Director prior to the issuance of building permits.

Staff Report
DATE: October 22, 2008
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPMENT CODE
AMENDMENT DRC2008-00593 -CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to modify
the definition of landscaping under Section 17.02.140 of the Development Code to allow for
synthetic turf. Staff has prepared a negative declaration of environmental impacts for
consideration. This item will be forwarded to City Council for further action.
BACKGROUND: The Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) provides a synthetic turf rebate
• program to both new and existing residential properties in the Inland region. The program offers a $0.60
rebate per square foot of synthetic turf with no minimum or maximum. Some Rancho Cucamonga
residents have expressed their wish to install synthetic turf on their residential properties to the City
Planning staff. However, because of the language limitation of landscaping in the Development Code,
Section 17.02.140, the Planning Department has been unable to approve the use of synthetic turf within
the City limits. Currently, the State of California is experiencing a shortage in the water supply. All cities
and counties are encouraged to reduce their water consumption.
ANALYSIS: The 2006-2007 winter was a dry one for much of California. The Sierra snow pack was the
lowest in nearly 20 years, while Southern California logged its driest year on record. The Colorado River
Basin has experienced below average runoff for 6 of the last 7 years. A federal court ruling this year
requires the reduction in the delivery of water from the San Joaquin Delta to preserve the Delta Smelt,
further reducing water supplies that affect our region. State reservoir capacities are at severe lows, with
Folsom at 31 percent, Shasta at 34 percent, and San Luis at 13 percent. While California is no stranger
to historical periods of drought, each drought brings with it a need for enhanced conservation. In June of
2008, Governor Schwarzenegger declared a statewide drought and encouraged local water agencies
and districts to assist regional and state agencies to reduce water consumption locally for the remainder
of 2008 and prepare for potentially worsening conditions in 2009. An estimated 60 percent to 70 percent
of all residential water use is used for landscaping. Turf is one of the largest users of water in
landscapes, using an average of 77 gallons of water per square foot annually. An alternative to natural
turf in landscape applications is synthetic turf.
Synthetic turf has been around since the 1960s and until recently was primarily used in sports venues to
replace natural turf. The quality, cost, and availability of synthetic turf have now made it a suitable option
• for residential and commercial applications. Most synthetic turf is comprised of an open weave recycled
rubber backing, with synthetic "grass blades" installed on one side. A layer of crushed recycled rubber or

sand is applied after installation to give the turf bounce and enhance water drainage. Installation
requires the removal of all existing turf and installation of a layer of decomposed granite to provide a
stable base for installation. A weed barrier may also be installed. The synthetic turf is then laid out,
trimmed to the shape of the landscape area and secured with galvanized nails or staples. Maintenance
consists of sweeping or raking the surface to remove dust or debris. Brushing the turf "against the grain"
will bring any matted areas to life. Water can penetrate the surface to be absorbed. Some synthetic
turfs claim to have a life expectancy of 20 to 30 years, although there are no established life spans
industry-wide.
In addition to reducing water consumption, the use of synthetic turf can reduce the use of fertilizers that
can potentially increase groundwater nitrate levels as well as reduce the emission of greenhouse gases
used to mow traditional lawns.
The intent of the Development Code Amendment is to provide synthetic turf as an alternative to natural
turf to enhance water conservation efforts within the City. As proposed, this amendment does not
impose specific development standards on the installation of synthetic turf, as we currently do not have
similar standards for natural turf. With the current cost of synthetic turf between $8 and $14 per square
foot installed on average, staff does not anticipate a widespread retrofitting of existing landscapes from
natural to synthetic turf. Natural turf costs between $2 to $4 installed on the average. Planning staff has
fielded less than a dozen calls from property owners interested in using or switching to synthetic turf in
the last 6 months. Should the need for specific development standards arise, staff will pursue a
Development Code Amendment in the future to address these issues.
•
FACTS FOR FINDING: The purpose of the proposed Development Code Amendment is to allow an •
alternative to natural turf material to help conserve water supplies within the City of Rancho Cucamonga,
while retaining the look of lush landscaping. Prior to the approval of any amendment to the Development
Code, the Council, based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, must make a finding of
the consistency with the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Department has prepared an Initial Study
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As indicated on the attached Initial Study,
there is no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant affect on the environment; thus,
a Negative Declaration has been prepared and circulated along with a public hearing notice.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin
newspaper with aone-eighth page ad because more than 1,000 properties would be affected by the
citywide scope of the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution
recommending approval of Development Code Amendment DRC2008-00593 and the proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts to the City Council for final action.

Regional Description
Rancho Cucamonga is located in the Inland Empire of California in San Bernardino County. It is
located 37 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Direct freeway access to the City may be taken
from the I-210 and I-15 Freeways. Unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino and the
City of Fontana are located east of Rancho Cucamonga. The City of Upland is located west of
Rancho Cucamonga. The City of Ontario is adjacent to the south and southwest portions of
Rancho Cucamonga. The unincorporated area of the County of San Bernardino is located to the
north of Rancho Cucamonga.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga encompasses a total planning area of approximately 50 square
miles. Thirty-eight square miles constitute the incorporated area, augmented by a 12 square mile
Sphere-of-Influence that generally extends from our City's northern border up to the •
San Bernardino National Forest.

• The predominant City pattern for commercial activity is characterized by the commercial corridor
along Foothill Boulevard, accented by the planned clusters of commercial and service businesses
at many of the intersections. The northerly two-thirds of the City are predominately residential,
while the southerly one-third is largely industrial. Commercial centers are mostly located along the
main easUwest spine of the City, Foothill Boulevard. The northerly edge of our
Sphere-of-Influence is dominated primarily by open spaces of various types - a transition from the
San Bernardino National Forest and Mountains that frame this part of the West Valley area of the
San Bernardino County.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () () () (/)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () () () (/)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () () () (/)
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () () (/)
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views In
the area?
Comments:
a) The proposed ordinance will allow for the installation of synthetic turt as an acceptable
alternative to natural turf throughout the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Since turf is
installed at ground level, there will be no impact to any view corridors according to
General Plan Exhibit III-15.
•
b) There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
c) The visual quality of the City of Rancho Cucamonga will not degrade as a result of this
ordinance. The ordinance is designed to allow individual homeowners and developer's
flexibility in landscaping their property to reduce water use, GHG emissions from
lawnmowers and overall maintenance to the site. Synthetic turf mimics natural turf in
visual look without the maintenance required for natural turf; therefore, there will be no
downgrading of the visual character of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
d) The ordinance will not increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity.
•
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () () (/)
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (/)
Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (/)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
a) The proposed ordinance will allow for the installation of synthetic turf as an acceptable
alternative to natural turf within the Clty of Rancho Cucamonga. For existing sites that
could be retrofitted with synthetic turf, these sites were already analyzed for agricultural

resources as part of their initial Development Review and Approval. Future projects that
propose the use of synthetic turf will require separate environmental review. There are
approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third is
either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2. The
major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern
portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further,
two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to
30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be
retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan 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) Please see 2.a above.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the () () () (/)
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute () () () (/)
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of () () () (/)
any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State
ambient air ,quality standard (including releasing
emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () () () (/)
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial () () () (/)
number of people?
Comments:
a) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
therefore, it will not create any air quality impacts.
b) The proposed synthetic turt ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
therefore, it will not create any air quality impacts.
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6) continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was

ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not
involve a site specific project at this time; therefore, it will not create any air quality
impacts.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large. The South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) identifies the following as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities,
rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools,
playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD,
projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile
of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule
1401. A concern raised in the State of New Jersey regarding the use of synthetic turf was
the potential for lead to become airborne and create a health hazard. Lead is present in
the pigments of some synthetic turf products to give synthetic turf its green color. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission on July 30, 2008, released its evaluation of lead
levels in synthetic turf and determined that newer fields had no lead or generally had the
lowest lead levels. Although small amounts of lead were detected on the surface of some
older fields, none of these tested fields released amounts of lead that would be harmful to
children. Given that the proposed synthetic turf ordinance will necessitate the installation
of more recently manufactured models of synthetic turf, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.

e) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
typically, the installation of synthetic turf does not create objectionable odors. No adverse
impacts are anticipated.
4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or () () (/) ( )
through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or
regulations, or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or U.S. Fish and W ildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat () () (/) ( )
or other sensitive natural community identified in local
or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish
and Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally () () () (/)
protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh,
vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal,
filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native () () () (/)
resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with
established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery
sites?

Comments:
a) Sensitive species potentially occurring within our city limits include the Delhi Sands
flower-loving fly (DSF), the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat.
A few remaining parcels of land contain Delhi soils which could provide suitable habitat for
these species, although recent surveys have not identified any DSF within the City
boundaries or in the Sphere area. Recent surveys have identified breeding pairs of the
California Gnatcatcher within the Sphere area. The San Bernardino Kangaroo rat may
also occur within our Sphere-of-Influence.
The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
The installation of synthetic turf requires the removal of the top two inches of topsoil within
the landscape area to allow for the installation of compacted decomposed granite. In
doing this, animals cannot burrow under synthetic turf in the same means as natural turf.
The sensitive species identified above reside mainly within the Sphere-of-Influence, where
little or no development currently exists. Any future project that might indirectly result from
this ordinance would be analyzed for impacts at the time a site specific project is received
by the City. Existing landscapes that are rehabilitated with synthetic turf have previously
been disturbed due to urban development and considerations for sensitive species were
made during the initial development review and environmental assessment.
General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, includes a map that
depicts the area of sensitive biological resources. If it is found that a project indirectly
resulting from this ordinance occurs in areas designed for sensitive biological resources;
care will be taken to coordinate all new projects with California Department of Fish and
Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to avoid impacts to the species or to develop
mitigation measures.
b) Please see Section 4.a above.
c) The proposed synthetic turt ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
therefore, it will not create any potential impacts to wetland habitat. There are also
numerous streams, drainages, and a bog within the canyon area in the Sphere, some
extending down into the City boundaries. Many of these properties have been designated
as Open Space and Residential so that the land would maintain some or most of its
natural conditions, thus maintaining the connectivity of that parcel of land with the
surrounding natural habitations. Any new site specific project would be required to
undergo a separate environmental review, which can include coordination with California
Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop appropriate
mitigation measures, if it is located in areas mentioned above.

5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Cause a substantlal adverse change in the () () () (/)
significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () (/)
significance of an archeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological () () () (/)
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (/)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
• a) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
therefore, it will not create any potential impacts to historic resources. Any new projects
proposing the use of synthetic turf would be required to undergo a separate environmental
review where an analysis for impacts to historical resources would be conducted.
b) The Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans
according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11). Any future project would undergo
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review where an analysis of archaeological
resources would be conducted.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on
an alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological
sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the
sphere-of-influence; 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 proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not
involve a site specific project at this time; therefore, it will not create any potential impacts
to palentological resources.
d) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time;
therefore the proposed synthetic turf ordinance will not create any impact to human
remains. 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.

d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table () () () (/)
18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating
substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use () () () (/)
of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in
the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the
General Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The proposed
synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time. The
installation of synthetic turf typically does not involve significant above ground construction
-synthetic turf is applied directly on top of the ground with no supporting structures above
it. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
The installation of synthetic turf requires the removal of the top two inches of topsoil within
the landscape area to allow for the installation of compacted decomposed granite. For
rehabilitated landscapes, this is often done manually with minimal problems of dust
control. For new protects, a separate environmental review will be conducted and
mitigation measures implemented if needed.

7. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS. Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the () () (/) ( )
environment through the routine transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the () () () (/)
environment through reasonably foreseeable upset

was the potential for lead to become airborne and create a health hazard. Lead is present
in the pigments of some synthetic turf products to give synthetic turf its green color. The
Consumer Produci Safety Commission on July 30, 2008, released its evaluation of lead
levels in synthetic turt and determined that newer fields had no lead or generally had the
lowest lead levels. Although small amounts of lead were detected on the surface of some
older fields, none of these tested fields released amounts of lead that would be harmful to
children. Given that the proposed synthetic turf ordinance will necessitate the installation
of more recently manufactured models of synthetic turt, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.

Comments:
a) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
The future installation of synthetic turf will allow for water to permeate and keep
groundwater on-site in the same manor as natural turf. No impact is anticipated.
b) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
The future installation of synthetic turf will reduce landscape water consumption, while
allowing water to permeate, which would free up water _for current and future
development. No impact is anticipated.
c) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
The future installation of synthetic turf in rehabilitated landscapes will reduce landscape
water consumption, while allowing water to permeate, which will not cause changes in
absorption rates or drainage patterns. Future projects developed inadvertently as a result
of this ordinance will be given separate, project specific environmental review. No impact
is anticipated.

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the () () (/) ( )
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project 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
projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects that will () () () (/)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) Sensitive species potentially occurring within our city limits include the Delhi Sands
flower-loving fly (DSF), the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat.
A few remaining parcels of land contain Delhi soils which could provide suitable habitat for
these species, although recent surveys have not identified any DSF within the City
boundaries or in the Sphere-of-Influence area. Recent surveys have identified breeding
pairs of the California Gnatcatcher within the Sphere-of-Influence area. The
San Bernardino Kangaroo rat may also occur within our Sphere-of-Influence.
The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
The installation of synthetic turf requires the removal of the top two inches of topsoil within
the landscape area to allow for the installation of compacted decomposed granite. In
doing this, animals cannot burrow under synthetic turf in the same means as natural turt.
The sensitive species identified above reside mainly within the Sphere-ot-Influence, where
little or no development currently exists. Any future project that might indirectly result from
this ordinance would be analyzed for impacts at the time a site specific project is received
by the City. Existing landscapes that are rehabilitated with synthetic turf have previously
been disturbed due to urban development and considerations for sensitive species were
made during the initial development review and environmental assessment.
I~
General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, includes a map that
depicts the area of sensitive biological resources. If it is found that a project indirectly
resulting from this ordinance occurs in areas designed for sensitive biological resources,
care will be taken to coordinate all new projects with California Department of Fish and
Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to avoid impacts to the species or to develop •
mitigation measures.

• b) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance does not involve a site specific project at this time.
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) The proposed synthetic turf ordinance would not cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies all categories having
no impact or less-than-significant impact. Any future project that indirectly results from
this ordinance would be subject to separate environmental consideration and review.
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

Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the
environment and recommends the City Council adopt a Negative Declaration based upon the findings as
follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based
on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that there was no substantial evidence that
the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and
of the intent to adopt the Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Negative Declaration and all comments
received regarding the Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before it, finds: (i) that the
Negative Declaration was prepared incompliance with CEQA; and (ii) that there is no substantial evidence
that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission therefore is
forwarding the proposed Negative Declaration to the City Council for their final consideration as the adoption
will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on their initial findings, the
Planning Commission hereby recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration by the City Council.
c. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Negative Declaration and all other materials
which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council's decision is based is the Planning
Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning •
Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. -
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this
Commission hereby recommends approval of Development Code Amendment No. DRC2008-00593 by the
adoption of the attached City Council Ordinance.
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The site falls within the Victoria Community Specific Plan and the Victoria Arbors Master
Plan. The streets surrounding the project site were installed when the Rancho Etiwanda area was
mass graded, infrastructure was installed, and the adjacent subdivisions were built. On
August 27, 2008, the Planning Commission approved the applicant's proposal for a 31-lot
subdivision with no house product (SUBTT18449) and a Minor Exception application to increase
the perimeter walls to a maximum of 7 feet 8 inches in height along Lots 3 and 4 and 14 through
16, contingent upon the approval of this application. The subject application seeks an amendment
of the underlying Victoria Arbors Master Plan to change the land use designations from School to
Mixed Use Residential (4-6 units per acre), which is consistent with the General Plan designation of
Mixed Use.
B. Environmental Assessment: The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City
standards at build-out, according to General Plan Exhibit V-13. Furthermore, according to
Table V-6 in the General Plan, the project site is subject to noise levels of 60 dBA within 3,155 feet
of the I-15 Freeway. The project will also be exposed to noise levels of 65 CNEL or greater along
Victoria Park Lane. Because the project is subject to the noise levels that exceed the City's
exterior standard of 60 dBA from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 45 dBA standard from 10:00 p.m. to
Z:00 a.m., an Exterior Noise Analysis was prepared by Mestre Greve Associates (MGA).
The MGA Noise Analysis recommends masonry walls ranging in height from 3 feet to 5 feet along
the perimeter of the project along Victoria Park Lane to mitigate the exterior noise level to less than
65 CNEL. The plans indicate that a 6-foot high wall will be constructed around most of the •
perimeter of the project. Since only a subdivision is proposed at this time, and based upon the
recommendations of the study by MGA, building surfaces will be exposed to noise levels of
64.9 CNEL along Victoria Park Lane. Any necessary mitigation measures to reduce interior noise
levels to City Standards will need to be re-evaluated when the house product is submitted. MGA
made a recommendation that the interior noise can be mitigated with standard window installation
and air conditioning in the residences on Lots 17 through 29.
Sound walls in accordance with the height recommendations made by MGA and a requirement for
an interior noise analysis when the future house product is submitted, are conditions of approval for
Tentative Tract SUBTT18449.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition
of mitigation measures related to cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, noise, air quality,
geology and soils, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant
effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was
prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the
intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the
project.
C. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held one neighborhood meeting on June 5, 2008, at
Etiwanda Gardens to discuss the proposed project. Approximately 9 residents; John Morrisette, •
Project Manager of American Beauty Development Company; Robert Lacoss, Project Planner of
PDS West; and Stan Morse, Civil Engineer of MDS Consulting attended the meeting. The
residents had questions about the subdivision layout and several questions regarding the future

size and price of the homes. The applicant was able to answer general questions regarding the
layout of the subdivision, noting that only a subdivision is proposed at this time with no house
product. The residents were in favor of the project and liked the fact that the school was not going
to be built there.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin
newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot
radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impacts and approve the attached resolution recommending that the City
Council approve the Victoria Arbors Master Plan Amendment DRC2007-00047 through the adoption of
the attached Resolution of Approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
INITIAL STUDY PART II
BACKGROUND
Project File: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18449 -
CUCAMONGA 220 L.P. - A residential subdivision of 31 lots on 8.79 acres in the Mixed Use District
of the Victoria Arbors Master Plan, located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and
Long Meadow Drive-APN: 0227-171-29, 30.
2. Related Files: Master Plan Amendment DRC2007-00047 and Minor Exception DRC2007-00048
3. Description of Project: The applicant is proposing a tentative tract map to subdivide two parcels
of undeveloped land totaling 8.79 acres into 31 parcels to allow for the future construction of
single-family homes. The project is located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long
Meadow Drive adjacent to Victoria Arbors Park. To facilitate the proposed project, the applicant is
requesting an amendment of the underlying Victoria Arbors Master Plan to change the land use
designations from School to Mixed Use Residential (4 to 6 units per acre). This is consistent with
the General Plan designation of Mixed Use. In addition, the project involves a minor exception to
increase the perimeter walls to a maximum of 7 feet 8 inches from 7 feet 8 inches in height along
Lots 3 and 4 and 13 and 14.
The project proposes 31 single-family detached residential lots fronting onto two proposed public
local streets. At this time, no product has been submitted. The 31 proposed lots range from
5,500 square feet to 11,365 square feet in size and the average lot size is 7,700 square feet. The
project will meet the requirements of the proposed district in the Victoria Arbors Master Plan if the
amendment is granted.
4. Project Sponsor's Name and Address:
Cucamonga 220 L. P.
John Morrisette
16830 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 401
Encino, CA 91436
5. General Plan Designation: Mixed Use
6. Zoning: The site is currently zoned as a school site within the Victoria Arbors Master Plan and
currently proposing to amend the zoning to match the surrounding area of Mixed Use Single-Family
District.
7. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site is a vacant 8.79-acre puzzle-shaped site
located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive and bordered on the
south and east sides by single-family homes and Victoria Arbors Park on the north and east sides
(see attached aerial photo). The zoning designations for the properties surrounding the site are
Mixed Use (MU) Residential. The access points to the protect will be from Victoria Park Lane on
the east and Long Meadow Drive to the south. The property generally slopes from the
north/northeast td the southwest and contains no significant vegetation as the site was once mass

The site was previously allocated for a school site and owned by the Etiwanda School District. The
• school district has since sold the site to the owner and indicated that the site is no longer needed
for an additional school. The 8.09-acre Victoria Arbors Park is located adjacent to the site with a
proposed pedestrian access point at the south portion of the project. The 1.37-acre wetlands are

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Have a substantial affect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not () () () (/)
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () (/) () ( )
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which () () (/) ( )
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
Comments:
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within a view
corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15.
b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic
• Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
c) The site is located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive and is
undeveloped. The site is proposed to be subdivided into 31 parcels with asingle-family residence
constructed on each parcel. No specific design or placement of the residences has been submitted
at this time. The lot design meet and exceed the minimum requirements for Mixed Use
Single-Family (4 to 6 units per acre). As standard procedure, the project will be subject to public
notice and the City's design review and approval process where the issue of size and design will be
will be addressed. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility
lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures
in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said
Resolution. Project plans (including Landscape Plans) will be modified as directed by the Design
Review Committee and/or the Planning Commission before approval will be granted. As such, no
specific mitigation for this issue is required.
•
d) The project will most likely involve the addition of new light fixtures located on the site. The design
and placement of light fixtures will be shown on the Site Plans, which require review for consistency
with City standards that require shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will
be selected and located to confine the area of illumination fo within the project site. The impact is
not considered significant.
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
neaps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a O O O (/)
Williamson Act contract?

c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, () () () (/)
because of their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. The site is undeveloped and is bound on two sides by existing single-family homes
and a park to the north and west of the site. There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime
Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development according
to General Plan Table IV-2. The major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the
southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned
development. Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from
3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be
retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan 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 site is located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive in a fully •
developed area of the City, and is characterized by single-family residences to the east and south
and a park and wetlands to the north and west. The nearest agricultural use is approximately
1 mile east from the project site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project:
() () () (/)
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially () (/) () ( )
to an existing or projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any () () () (/)
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient
air quality standard (including releasing emissions that
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () (/) () ( )
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number () () () (/)
of people?

Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6), continued development will contribute to the
pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant
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) 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 project 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 aproject-specific
basis. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to
less-than-significant levels:
• 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to
reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction
equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers'
specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City
verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit Construction
Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use.
Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low-emission mobile
construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to
be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction
measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as
well as City Planning staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD
Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume,
low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
• Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.

• Schedule activities to minimiie the amounts of exposed excavated soil during
and after the end of work periods.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and
use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried
over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing
may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
• Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding
25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce Fine
Particulate Matter (PM,o) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWoCB) shall be applied to all
inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o
emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel-powered
equipment where feasible.
9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans include a
statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air quality
emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6). Based upon
on the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General
Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organize Gases
(ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance;
therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a 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
project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures shall be
implemented:
10) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters.
11) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal
pane windows and weather-stripping.

c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6) continued development would contribute to the
pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant
and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by
the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was
prepared and impacts evaluated.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution
than the population at large. The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors:
long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes,
residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers; and athletic facilities. According to the
SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile
of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401. The
project site is located adjacent to sensitive receptors: single-family residences and Victoria Arbors
Park. Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety
Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the
possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed
under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels.
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
4, BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
() () () (/)
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or
through habitat modifications, on any species identified
as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat or () () () (/)
other sensitive natural community identified in local or
regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected () () (/) ( )

Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool,
coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological
interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native O , O O (/)
resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with
established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors,
or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting () () () (/)
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or
ordinance?

Comments:
a) The project site is located in an area developed with single-family and recreational uses, and has
been previously mass graded during construction of the surrounding improvements. According to
the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not
within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect
rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded
by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan.
b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists
on-site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. Although an existing wetlands area is
adjacent to the project, it will be unaffected. The following mitigation measure has been put into
place to ensure that impacts would be less-than-significant:
1) The applicant shall protect the wetlands adjacent to the site and ensure that
construction debris, fill, and water do not enter the wetland site.
•
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) There are no heritage trees on the project site; therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with
any local ordinance.
The project site is not located within a conservation area according to the General Plan, Open
Space and Conservation Plan, Exhibit IV-4. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
() () () (/)
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance () () () (/)
of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological () () () (/)
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (/)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
a) The 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 project 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.
r1
U
•
• 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 project 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 project area. Submit
one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San
Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial
fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have
been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the sphere-of-influence, including the
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 to
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 Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore, the
following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to monitor
construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for
study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological
monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the
program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid
removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the
interval of earth-disturbing activities.

Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. 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 (i.e., San Bernardino
County Museum).
• Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected
specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum.
d) The project site has already been disrupted by construction of the surrounding improvements. No
known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the
project site has been used for human burials. The California Realth 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.
6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial
adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death
involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated () () () (/)
on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault
Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the
area or based on other substantial evidence of a

d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B () () () (/)
of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial
risks to Iite or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of () () () (/)

Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho
Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan
Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The Red Hill Fault passes approximately
2 miles west of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 1/4 mile to the north.
These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto Fault,
capable of producing up to Mw7.5 earthquakes, is approximately 12 miles northeasterly of the eastern
city limits and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is approximately 15 miles
northeasterly from the eastern city limits. 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 requue 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:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~g emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD
Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City
to reduce PM~g emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may
vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize
PM,g emissions from the site during such episodes.
4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all
inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~g
emissions.
•
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 project would not withdraw water frdm 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 Tulunga
Gravelly Loamy Sand 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 deposds.
These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil type on-site consists of Tujunga
Gravelly Loamy Sand Soll association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General Plan
FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. These soils are typically considered to be moderately permeable and generally
well drained. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater
disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed.

c) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The protect site is located within
43 mile of Grapeland Elementary School. Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable
odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent site
inspection did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous
materials. No impact is anticipated.
e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport.
The project site is located approximately 8 miles north of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of
the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west of the
City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies and
procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of a disaster.
Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is required to comply
with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
• h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban Wildland
Interface area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District Strategic Ptan

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 (RWQCB), 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 (SWPPP) that would
specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants from
contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving
off-site into receiving waters.
Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of
the nation.
Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A
construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES Permit.
Construction project proponents are required to prepare a SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, •
the construction contractor of the protect will be required to prepare a SWPPP during construction'
activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post-construction operational
management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by
MDS Consulting (January 3, 2007), that identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, such

as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads and
other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include
both structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water
pollutant levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural
controls 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 project 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 project 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 Operational:
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP) prepared by MDS Consulting (January 3, 2007) 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.
b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from groundwater in the
• Cucamonga and Chino Basins. CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates demand needs
until the year 2030. The proposed project will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere
with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a 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 surace. 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 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 the 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. The project 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 project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is
not considered significant.
d) 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 the site;
however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to
existirg 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 impacts are anticipated.

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 solids 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 NPDES to minimize water pollution. The following
mitigation measures shall be implemented:
1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer
for approval of a WQMP, including a project description and identifying BMPs that will
be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum
extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural
measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment
adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004.
2) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of
Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State
Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of
the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building
Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit.

h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit
V-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to
convey a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated
approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams
and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined channels, and underground storm
drains as shown in General Plan Exhibit V-6. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood
hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore, impacts from seiche and
tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern
San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made
controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non-significance
within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and
spreading grounds both within and north of the City.

b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () (/) ( )
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
(including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan,
local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for
the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or () () () (/)
natural community conservation plan?
Comments:
a) The site is located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park Lane and Long Meadow Drive and is
undeveloped in a fully developed area of the City and is characterized by single-family residences
to the east and south, and a park and wetlands to the north and west. This project will be of similar
design and size to surrounding single family development to the south and east. The project
involves improvements to an existing use within the larger community. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
b) The land use designation of the project site is for a school within the Victoria Arbors Master Plan.
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Master Plan to change the land use to Mixed Use
Low-Medium Residential. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not
interfere with any policies for environmental protection. The Etiwanda School District has indicated
that this site is not required for a school site at this time. If the need should arise for a school to be
built prior to the construction of the single-family residences the land use amendment will still allow
for a school site to be built.- As such, no impacts are anticipated.
c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area.
• According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project
site is not located within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not
adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the
project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
Plan.

mitigation measures to comply with the City's 65 CNEL exterior noise level standard. The proposed •
6-foot masonry block wall will satisfy the acoustical requirements according to the Noise Analysis
prepared by Mestre Greve Associates on April 11, 2008. The interior noise standard of 45 CNEL
will be met with use of standard windows and adequate ventilation. Mitigation measures listed
below would reduce exterior and interior noise levels to less-than-significant levels:

1) Exterior: Install noise barriers that consist of a wall, a berm, or a combination of the
two. The noise barrier must have a surtace density of at least 3 1/2 pounds per
square foot, and shall have no openings or gaps. The wall may be constructed of
stud and stucco, 3/8-inch plate glass, 5/8-inch plexiglass, any masonry material, or a
combination of these materials. Masonry walls should be located at the top of the
slope.
2) Interior: No upgrade of windows is required to meet the City's 45CNEL interior noise
standard but to achieve the required attenuation windows need to remain closed.
Therefore, adequate ventilation is required for Lots 17 through 29 by use of air
conditioning units while windows are closed.
b) The uses 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 project
is intended to better accommodate the activities already present on the site and will not significantly
increase traffic; hence, an increase in ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project is
expected. _
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:
3) 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.
4) 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.
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:
5) 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.

c) The Etiwanda School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the project area. A
standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the School Impact Fees. With this
standard mitigation, impacts to the school districts are not considered significant.
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest
park, which is Victoria Arbors Park, is located adjacent to the site and Windrows Park is located
approximately 1 mile north of the project site. The project will not require the construction of any
new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or'cause a decline in the levels of service, which
could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the
developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated.
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area, currently
served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the construction of any new
facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could
cause the need to construct new public facilities. 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 constructed a new library within the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of

Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 9.59 vehicle trips daily per hours. The
proposed project includes the future development of 31 single family residences. The Rancho
Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each single-family detached residence will generate
9.59 trips daily. 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 mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The
project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or
congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb,
gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. In addition,
the City has established a Transportation Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant prior
to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to
support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated.

peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I
extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair
share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development
impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the
Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project
will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted Transportation Development Fee •
prior to issuance of building permits. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with all
street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the level of service standards
on adjacent arterials. The project will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated.

b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in
accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2001 General Plan was
adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and
Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in
significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical
environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures were
adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to
less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations
balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant
unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)), These benefits
include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use 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 proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related
emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. Proposed mitigation
measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality
would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial
Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased
noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study 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

SUMMARY
EXTERIOR NOISE ANALYSIS FOR
TRACT 18449
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
EXTERIOR NOISE MITIGATION
The exterior living areas in the project must comply with the City's 65 CNEL exterior noise
standard. For the exterior living areas that are exposed to noise levels greater than 65 CNEL,
some form of noise mitigation'is required. An effective method of reducing the traffic noise to
acceptable levels is with a noise barrier. The results of the analysis indicate that the noise level
will be 65 CNEL and therefore, noise barriers will be required along Victoria Park Lane. The
required noise barrier locations and heights to exceed the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard are
listed below in Table S 1 and shown in Exhibit S 1.
The current plans show a 6-foot masonry block wall along Victoria Park Lane and Long
Meadows Drive which will satisfy the acoustical requirements.

The noise barriers may consist of a wall, a berm, or a combination of the two. The noise barriers
must have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot, and shall have no openings or
gaps. The wall may be constructed of stud and stucco, 3/8-inch plate glass, 5/8-inch plexiglass,
any masonry material, or a combination of these materials.
The first floor exterior living areas are projected to meet the 65 CNEL outdoor noise standard

INTERIOR NOISE
Second floor building surfaces along Victoria Park Lane will be exposed to a maximum noise
level of 64.9 CNEL, and therefore will require at least 19.9 dB exterior to interior noise
reduction in order to meet the City's 45 CNEL interior noise standard. All homes alone Victoria
Park Lane will meet the 45 CNEL interior standards without window uporudes
ADEQUATE VENTILATION
Since the noise attenuation of a building falls to about 12 dB with windows open, all buildings
exposed to noise levels greater than 57 CNEL will meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standard
only with windows closed. In order to assume that windows can remain closed to achieve this
required attenuation, adequate ventilation with windows closed must be provided per the
applicable Uniform Building Code. Adequate ventilation will be required for those homes listed
in Table S2 and shown in Exhibit 52.
The acceptability of using air conditioners to meet adequate ventilation requirement varies by
municipality. The local jurisdiction and the mechanical engineer for the project should be
consulted.

NOISE ANALYSIS FOR
TENTATIVE TRACT~18449
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to demonstrate compliance of Tentative Tract 18449 with the noise
related `Conditions of Approval' placed on the project by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
project calls for the development of single-family homes.
The project is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, as shown in Exhibit 1. The project will
be impacted by traffic noise from Victoria Park Lane. This report specifies any mitigation
measures necessary to meet the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard and the 45 CNEL interior noise
standard.
Site plan and grading information was obtained from the plans for "Tentative Tract 18449
Residential Lots 1-31" by MDS Consulting, February 20, 2008.
2.0 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA NOISE STANDARDS
The City of Rancho Cucamonga specifies outdoor and indoor noise ]imits for residential land
uses. Both standards are based upon the CNEL index. CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent
Level) is a 24-hour time weighted annual average noise level based on the A-weighted decibel.
A-weighting is a frequency correction that correlates overall sound pressure levels with the
frequency response of the human ear. Time weighting refers to the fact that noise that occurs
during certain noise-sensitive time periods is given more significance because it occurs at these
times. In the calculation of CNEL, noise occurring in the evening time period (7 p.m. to 10 p. m.)
is weighted by 5 dB, while noise occurring in the nighttime period (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) is
weighted by 10 dB. These time periods and weighting factors are used to reflect increased
sensitivity to noise while sleeping, eating, and relaxing.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has adopted an exterior noise standard of 65 CNEL. In
addition, the City has decided upon an interior noise standard of 45 CNEL.

3.0 METHODOLOGY
The traffic noise levels projected in this report were computed using the Highway Noise Model
published by the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction
Model", FHWA-RD-77-]08,.December 1978). The FHWA Model uses traffic volume, vehicle
mix, vehicle speed, and roadway geometry to compute the "equivalent noise level". A computer
code has been written which computes equivalent noise levels for each of the time periods used
in CNEL. Weighting these noise levels and summing them results in the CNEL for the traffic
projections used.
Mitigation through the design and construction of a noise barrier (wall, bean, or combination
walllberm) is the most common way of alleviating traffic noise impacts. The effect of a noise
barrier is critically dependent- upon the geometry between the noise source, the barrier, and the
observer. A noise barrier effect occurs when the "line of sight" between the noise source and the
observer is interrupted by the barrier. As the distance that the noise must travel around the noise
barrier increases, the amount of noise reduction increases.
4.0 NOISE EXPOSURE
The existing traffic volume for Victoria Park Lane was obtained from Mr. Jon Gillespie at the
Rancho Cucamonga traffic-engineering department on March 6, 2008. A future traffic forecast
was not available from the City. The future (year-2028) traffic volume for Victoria Park.Lane
was calculated using a 2% per year growth factor. Long Meadow Drive is considered a local
collector and will not affect the living units. The traffic volume, vehicle speed, and roadway
grade used in the CNEL calculations are presented below in Table I.
Table 1
FUTURE TRAFFIC VOLUME, SPEED AND ROADWAY GRADE
ROADWAY

The traffic distribution that was used in the CNEL calculations is listed below in Table 2. This
arterial traffic distribution estimate was compiled by the Orange County Environmental
Management Agency, and is based on traffic counts at 31 intersections throughout the Orange
County area. Arterial traffic distribution estimates can be considered typical for arterials in
Southern California.

Using the assumption presented above, the future noise levels were computed. The results are
listed in Table 3 in terms of distances to the 60, 65, and 70 CNEL contours. These represent the
distances from the centerline of each roadway to the contour value shown. Note that the values
given in Table 3 do not take into account the effect of intervening topography that may affect the
roadway noise exposure.

5.(1 EX'CEI2IOR NOISE MITIGATION
The exterior living areas in the project must comply with the City's 65 CNEL exterior noise
standard. For the exterior living areas that are exposed to noise levels greater than 65 CNEL,
some form of noise mitigation is required. An effective method of reducing the u~affic noise to
acceptable levels is with a noise barrier. The results of the analysis indicate that the noise level
will he 65 CNEL and therefore, noise barriers will be required along Victoria Park Lane. The
required noise barrier locations and heights to exceed the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard are
listed below in Table 4 and shown in Exhibit 3.
The current plans show a 6-foot masonry block wall along Victoria Park Lane and Long
Meadows Drive which will satisfy the acoustical requirements.

The noise barriers may consist of a wall, a berm, or a combination of the two. The noise barriers
must have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot, and shall have no openings or
gaps. The wall may be constructed of stud and stucco, 3/8-inch plate glass, 5/8-inch plexiglass,
any masonry material, or a combination of these materials.
The first floor exterior living areas are projected to meet the 6~ CNEL outdoor noise standard
with the noise barriers listed above in Table 4. The walls shall be located at top of slope.
6.0 INTERIOR NOSE
The project must comply with the indoor noise standard of 45 CNEL. To meet the interior noise
standard, the buildings must provide sufficient outdoor to indoor building attenuation to reduce
the noise to acceptable levels. The outdoor to indoor noise reduction characteristics of a building
are determined by combining the transmission loss of each of the building elements that make up
• the building. Each unique building element has a characteristic transmission loss.

For residential units, the critical building elements are the roof, walls, windows, doors, attic
configuration and insulation.
The total noise reduction achieved is dependent upon the transmission loss of each element, and
the surface area of that element in relation to the total swface area of the room. Room
absorption is the final factor used in determining the total noise reduction.
Second floor building surfaces along Victoria Park Lane will be exposed to a maximum noise
level of 64.9 CNEL, and therefore will require at least 19.9 d6 exterior to interior noise
reduction in order to meet the City's 45 CNEL interior noise standard. All homes along Victoria
P'trl< Lane will meet the 45 CNEL interior standards without window upgrades.
7.0 ADEQUATE VENTILATION
Since the noise attenuation of a building falls to about 12 dB with windows open, all buildings
exposed to noise levels greater than 57 CNEL will meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standard
only with windows closed. in order to assume that windows can remain closed to achieve this
required attenuation, adequate ventilation with windows closed must be provided per the
applicable Uniform Building Code. Adequate ventilation will be required for those homes listed
in Table 5 and shown in Exhibit 4.
• The acceptability of using air conditioners to meet adequate ventilation requirement varies by
municipality. The local jurisdiction and the mechanical engineer for the project should be
consulted.

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 project 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 project 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 project, 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 project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax

as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
amendment is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of October 2008, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found; determined, and resolved by the Planning
• Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on October 22, 2008, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property within the City; and
b. The proposed Victoria Arbors Master Plan Amendment will not have a
significant impact on the environment; and
c. The proposed change in the Victoria Arbors Master Plan land use designation
of the subject site will be consistent with the land use concept and density provisions of the
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The proposed land use changes will more effectively
implement the goals and objectives of the Victoria Community Plan that sought to fulfill the need
for housing in a variety of residential types including single-family residences. The requested
land use change is consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation of Mixed
Use. The change will also be compatible with the existing residential development in the
immediate area.

Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment
for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council
adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's
local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental
effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined
that there was no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the
environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to
adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
•
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the •
whole record before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in
compliance with CEQA; and (ii) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission therefore is forwarding the
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration to the City Council for their final consideration as the
adoption will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on their
initial findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends adoption of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration by the City Council.
c. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration
and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council's
decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents
are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga,
located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone
(909) 477-2750.

Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure
compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The City Council
therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby recommends approval of Victoria Arbors Master Plan Amendment
DRC2007-00047 by adoption of the attached City Council Ordinance, as shown in the attached •

SUBJECT: REVOCATION OF ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 89-04R -PEPPER'S MEXICAN

with a restaurant use, located at 9740 19th Street -APN: 1076-011-10. Related

REVOCATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 87-06R -PEPPER'S MEXICAN
RESTAURANT - To consider revocation of a Conditional Use Permit for the serving
• of alcoholic Beverages in conjunction with a restaurant use, located at 9740 19th
Street -APN: 1076-011-10. Related File: Entertainment Permit 89-04R.
BACKGROUND: On August 8, 2008, deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Police
Department, along with the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), conducted an ABC compliance
check of multiple bars in the City including Pepper's Mexican Restaurant. The compliance
check resulted in one patron's arrest for public intoxication, the bartender being cited for serving
alcohol to an intoxicated person, and Pepper's manager being cited for having an expired
business license. The Police Department contacted the City and informed them of the results of
the compliance check including Pepper's expired business license and the extensive history of
police calls-for-service to the business.
The City sent the applicant a letter requiring that Pepper's Mexican Restaurant bring their
business license current and pay back fees. The applicant brought the business license
application form to the Planning Department for zoning compliance verification. The application
listed the business name as Pepper's Sports Bar and described the business as being a sports
bar and grill with live entertainment and televised sporting events.
The Planning Department staff sent the applicant a letter on August 14, 2008, (Exhibit A)
informing him that a sports bar is not permitted in the Neighborhood Commercial District and
that the approved Conditional Use Permit for the location was for a restaurant with a bar. The
applicant was advised in the letter to cease the sports bar use within 10 days from the date on
the letter.
• The applicant contacted Planning Department staff and informed them that they were in the
process of reopening the restaurant's kitchen and that they would remove the "Sports Bar" sign.
Staff visited the site a few weeks later and found that the applicant had removed the "Sports
Bar" sign and that the kitchen appeared to be in operation, but that the floor plan for the dining

room was no longer in compliance with the approved entertainment permit. Instead, the dining
room had a layout that is more commonly found in a sports bar, including a low bar table around
the dance floor with table top video games facing a large screen television, high bar tables and
chairs and small cdcktail tables. Staff researched the improvements and found that the
improvements were never reviewed by the Planning Department.
A follow up letter was sent to the applicant on September 17, 2008, (Exhibit B), informing him
that staff had visited the business and found that Pepper's Mexican Restaurant was in violation
with the approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP87-10) and the approved Entertainment Permit
(EP90-36). The applicant was given 30 days to bring the business back into compliance with
the approved entitlements and listed a series of changes that were required to gain compliance.
On September 24, 2008, a detective from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department came to
the Planning Department and delivered a report compiling all the calls-for-service that the Police
Department and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department have made to the site. This includes
42 calls-for-service for the year 2007 and 43 calls-for-service for the year 2008 (up to the month
of June) by the Police Department and 26 calls-for-service for 2007 through June 2008 by the
Fire Department. Included for review is a letter written by Sergeant Jeffrey Notaro of the
Rancho Cucamonga Police Department summarizing the results of their investigation
(Exhibit C). Also included is a pie chart breaking down the types of calls-for-service to the
location for 2007 and 2008 (Exhibit D).
Because of the large number of calls-tor-service and the applicant's lack of compliance with the •
approved entitlements, staff scheduled a public hearing for the Planning Commission to
consider the revocation of the applicant's Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit.
Planning Department Entitlements: On March 10, 1987, the Planning Commission approved
Conditional Use Permit CUP87-06 (Resolution 87-70) (Exhibit E) permitting Amici's Pizza N Stuff
Restaurant to expand their existing restaurant by 900 square feet (for a total 3,700 square feet)
and to serve alcoholic beverages. The Conditions of Approval limited the service of alcoholic
beverages to be between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. and required that a full menu be
provided when alcoholic beverages were served.
On March 28, 1990, the Planning Commission approved Entertainment Permit EP89-04,
Resolution 90-36, (Exhibit F), allowing Pepper's Mexican Restaurant to have live entertainment
from Tuesday through Saturday, between the hours of 8:30 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Permitted-
entertainment was limited to a "single musician or small combo (3-4 piece) to play jazz or soft
pop music." They were also permitted to allow dancing on a dance floor not to exceed
146 square feet. The approval stipulated that any intensification or type of entertainment would
require the modification of the Entertainment Permit. Entertainment Permits are required to be
renewed on a yearly basis. The last renewal on file for Pepper's Mexican Restaurant was for the
year 2006.
ANALYSIS: The premise of a Conditional Use Permit is to create the flexibility necessary to
achieve the objectives of the Development Code and the General Plan, while at the same time
allowing uses whose unique operating characteristics requiring special consideration in order to •
operate in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding uses and to mitigate any potentially
adverse impacts. The Conditional Use Permit sets forth Conditions of Approval judged
G&H-2
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP86-07 and EP89-04 -PEPPER'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT
October 22, 2008
• Page 3
necessary in order to meet the goals set forth in the Development Code for the district in which
the business operates.
Once approved, the Planning Commission has the authority to review a Conditional Use Permit
at any time in the future in order to verify that the business is in compliance with the Conditions
of Approval set forth in the Conditional Use Permit and that its operation is not detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the other properties in the vicinity. If the
Planning Commission finds that the use violates the Conditions of Approval or is detrimental to
the other property owners in the vicinity, and that modifications are not available to mitigate the
impacts, the Commission has the authority to revoke the Conditional Use Permit, which will
require the business to cease and desist the use in the time allotted by the Commission.
Following the revocation of the Conditional Use Permit, no application for a Conditional Use
Permit for the same or substantially the same use on the same site may be filed within one year
of the date of the revocation.
Pepper's Mexican Restaurant is located within the Neighborhood Commercial District which only
permits bars or cocktail lounges when they are operated in conjunction with a restaurant and
always requires a Conditional Use Permit for the sale of distilled spirits. Pepper's Mexican
Restaurant is in violation of the Municipal Code, the Development Code, the approved
Conditions of Approval outlined in the Conditional Use Permit and the approved Entertainment
Permit for the following reasons:
1. The current floor plan is more indicative of a bar rather than a restaurant and is in violation
of the floor plan approved under the Entertainment Permit.
The Conditional Use Permit requires that the service of alcohol must be in conjunction with
a restaurant and with the availability of a full menu. Additionally, it stipulates that the
service of alcoholic beverages must cease when the full menu is not available to
customers and limits the hours that the bar may be operated which is between 11:00 a.m.
and 11:00 p.m. According to the applicant and police reports, the applicant is offering the
sale of alcoholic beverages after 11:00 p.m.
3. The Entertainment Permit limits entertainment to a live band with up to four members and
dancing. They are currently offering music provided by a disk jockey (DJ) and have table
top video games. Any intensification of the type or quantity of entertainment being offered
is grounds for revocation of the Entertainment Permit.
4. The Municipal Code (Section 5.12.115) requires that all holders of an Entertainment
Permit must file and pay a yearly renewal of their Entertainment Permit. The applicant has
not filed a renewal for the years 2007 or 2008.
5. The Municipal Code requires that businesses have a valid business license and that they
pay business license taxes. Pepper's Mexican Restaurant has not had a valid business
license or paid their license taxes since January 1, 2005.
• In addition to the above violations, Pepper's Mexican Restaurant is in violation of the provisions
outlined in the Development Code which require that they operate in a way that is not
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare and/or are materially injurious to properties in
the vicinity. With the large number of Police Department and Fire Department calls-for-service
G&H-3
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP86-07 and EP89-04 -PEPPER'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT
October 22, 2008

to the business over the last two years, one can only conclude that their business is
detrimentally affecting the safety and welfare of the residents living in the surrounding
neighborhood and of the business owners and customers of the commercial center in which
they are located. Moreover, the extensive calls-for service are a drain on the City's budget and
divert valuable City resources away from other residents and businesses that may need them.
In conclusion, it is staff's judgment that the extensive number of violations outlined in this report
can not be mitigated with the addition of new Conditions of Approval to the existing Conditional
Use Permit or through the modification of the types of entertainment permitted by the
Entertainment Permit. Additionally, the data provided by the Sheriff's Department shows that
calls-for-service for the year 2008 (43 as of June 2008) are on track to greatly surpass the
already large number of calls in 2007 (42). Taken together; staff believes that the revocation of
Pepper's Mexican Restaurant's Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit is not only
justified, but is necessary to protect the health safety and welfare of the City's residents.
l J
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 as a Class 21 exemption under State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 which covers actions by regulatory agencies including the
revocation of entitlements adopted by the regulatory agency. Because the action is to deny an
existing Conditional Use permit and Entertainment Permit because of violations of the agency's
regulations and of the approved Conditions of Approval and that no construction is proposed, •
staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the revocation may have a significant effect
on the environment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the
revocation of Conditional Use Permit CUP87-06 and Entertainment Permit EP89-04 by adoption
of the attached Resolutions of Revocation.

SUBJECT: ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT #89-04 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #87-06 FOR
PEPPER'S RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 9740 19TH STREET
Dear Mr. Frias:
This letter is a follow-up to our earlier communications regarding the operation of Pepper's Restaurant.
As was previously discussed, Pepper's Restaurant must operate in conformance with the conditions
outlined in Resolution Numbers 67-70 and 90-36 (see attached) and the regulations outlined in the
Development Code pertaining to businesses located in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District.
Staff visited your business and found that it is not in compliance with the approved permits or the
Development Code. Conditional Use Permit #87-06 permits you to serve alcoholic beverages in
conjunction with asit-down restaurant that serves a full menu, and Entertainment Permit #EP89-04
.permits the restaurant to have live entertainment including a band with up to four members and a dance
floor not to exceed 146 square feet. The Development Code only permits bars when they are operated
in conjunction with asit-down restaurant (full-table service).
Staff's visit found that the dining room has been converted into a bar area. The approved dance floor is
now surrounded by a low bar table with table top video games facing a large screen television.
Additionally, the reception area and booths have been replaced with high tables along one wall and a
long bench seat with small tables along another wall. This floor plan is not in compliance with the
approved Entertainment Permit (see enclosed) or with the common layout of a sit-down restaurant. To
regain compliance with the originally approved permits, the following changes must be made:
1. Return the floor .plan to that approved under Entertainment Permit EP89-04. This includes
providing areception/waiting area and an eating area with booths and low tables.
2. Provide table service with a full menu at all times that the business is open.
3. Remove the bar surrounding the dance floor, the video games, large screen television and, all high
tables from the dining area.
4. Limit the entertainment to a live band with up to four members playing jazz or soft pop music.
Music provided by a disk jockey is not permitted under the current Entertainment Permit.
5. The maximum hours that alcoholic beverages may be served are, between the hours of 11:00 a.m.
and 11:00 p.m.
•. Remove the alcohol advertising signs from the windows.

time, the Planning Department will begin the revocation process of your Conditional Use Permit and

On August 8, 2008, deputies from the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, along with a combined effort from
ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) conducted an ABC compliance check in the city of Rancho Cucamonga. The
team inspected approximately eight locations throughout the city of Rancho Cucamonga, which included the
following: Yard House, Buffalo Wild Wings, Peppers Bar, Knockers Bar, Mc P,lan's, Dean's of Cucamonga,
Gilbertos, and Hide-a-While. Approximately eight subjects were arrested for various crimes.
Peppers Bar was cited for B&P 25802(a) (Sales to Intoxicated Person), PC 647(f) (Public Intoxication), and the
on-site manager was cited for violation RCMC 5.04.030 (Licenses Required) after the business was identified
as having a business license expired on 08/31/05.
After reviewing previous calls for service, the biggest problem found is the violence that ensues at Peppers Bar.
These violent acts pose a threat to the public and to law enforcement. The number of calls for service and the
types of calls being handled illustrates the necessity that Peppers Bar be identified as a nuisance establishment
in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.
The following data shows the calls for service for 2007 and January through June of 2008 for Rancho
~ucamonga Police Department.
-January through December 2007: Total calls for service - 42 '
-January through June 2008: Total calls for service - 43
Calls for service were gathered from the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department related to the following types of
medical responses: assaults, medical aids, and unknown medical problems. The data was collected from
actual calls to Peppers Bar located at 9740 19`h Street and calls for service to the area of Archibald Avenue /
19`" Street.
-2007 through 2008:
Total calls for service - 26
If you have any questions, please contact me at (909) 477-2865, Tuesday through Friday, between.9:00 a.m.
and 7:00 p.m.

d. The Development Code requires that businesses operate in a way that is not
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare and/or are materially injurious to properties in the
vicinity. There have been more than 80 calls-for-service by the Police Department and Fire
Department to the subject business over the last two years; and

Entertainment Permit must file and pay a yearly renewal of their Entertainment Permit. The
applicant has not filed a renewal for the years 2007 or 2008; and
h. The Municipal Code requires that all businesses have a valid business license and
that they pay business license taxes. Pepper's Mexican Restaurant has not had a valid business
license or paid their license taxes since January 1, 2005.

a. That the conduct of the establishment and the granting of the application has been
contrary to the public health, safety, morals or welfare in that over the last two years there have been
extensive calls-for-service to the applicant's business for crimes including assaults and public
drunkenness; and
b. That the establishment has been operating in an illegal, improper, and disorderly
manner in that the applicant has been operating the business without a business license and there
have been have been extensive calls-for-service to the business by the Police Department; the
applicant has violated the Conditions of Approval of the existing Entertainment Permit by offering
entertainment not covered by that approval; and, the applicant has not renewed their entertainment
permit on a yearly bases as required by the Municipal Code; and
c. That granting the application will create a public nuisance in that the Police
Department have made extensive calls-for-service to the site for criminal activity on both the inside
and outside of the applicant's business.

by the regulatory agency. Since the action is to deny an existing Entertainment Permit because of
violations of the agencies regulations and the approved Conditions of Approval, there is no •
substantial evidence that the revocation may have a significant effect on the environment. The

e. The applicant's business is located within the Neighborhood Commercial District
which only permits bars or cocktail lounges when they are operated in conjunction with a restaurant
and always requires a Conditional Use Permit for the sale of distilled spirits. The approved
Conditional Use Permit requires that the service of alcohol must be in conjunction with a restaurant
and with the availability of a full menu. Additionally, it stipulates that the service of alcoholic
beverages must cease when the full menu is not available to customers and limits the hours that the
bar may be operated between 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. The applicant is offering the sale of
alcoholic beverages after 11:00 p.m.
f. The current floor plan is more indicative of a bar rather than a restaurant and is
in violation of the floor plan approved under the Entertainment Permit.
g. The Municipal Code requires that businesses have a valid business license and
that they pay business license taxes. Pepper's Mexican Restaurant has not had a valid business
license or paid their license taxes since January 1, 2005.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use is not in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located in that a stand alone
bar is not permitted in the Neighborhood Commercial District. The district was created to be a low •
intensity land use area designed to serve the day to day needs of the local residential
neighborhoods surrounding the district. The use regulations for the Neighborhood Commercial
District were designed with the goal of allowing businesses that attract a local rather than a regional
clientele, such as restaurants with a small bar area rather than a stand alone bar.
b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity in that the City's Police Department and Fire Department have made
extensive calls-for-service to the business over the last two years which is detrimentally affecting the
safety and welfare of the residents living in the surrounding neighborhood and of the business
owners and customers of the commercial center in which they are located.
c. The proposed use does not comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code in that the subject business has been converted from afull-service restaurant to
a sports bar in violation of the Development Code which only permits bars within the Neighborhood
Commercial District when they are operated in conjunction with afull-service restaurant.
Additionally, the applicant is selling alcoholic beverages after 11:00 p.m. in violation of the
Conditions of Approval.
4. 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 as a Class 21 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15321 which covers actions by regulatory agencies including the revocation of entitlements adopted
by the regulatory agency. Because the action is to deny an existing Conditional Use Permit because
of violations of the agencies regulations and the approved Conditions of Approval, there is no •
substantial evidence that the revocation may have a significant effect on the environment. The
Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and

Staff Report
DATE: October 22, 2008
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Corkran W. Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - DRC2006-00926 - WLC ARCHITECTS -Review
of Master Phasing Plan for remaining phases of Lifeway Church project
development including a classroom wing, temporary classroom modules, and a
multi-purpose hall on 5.03 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4
dwelling units per acre) at 7477 Vineyard Avenue at Calle del Prado. APN: 208-
921-36. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439, Non-Construction
• Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00544. On April 24, 2002, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impacts was adopted by the Planning Commission
for Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439. The California Environmental
Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration
is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope
of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration.
ENTITLEMENT REQUIREMENT: The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is to create
flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of the Development Code and General Plan, and
to ensure that the proposed use is compatible with neighboring uses. If necessary, conditions
may be required to provide adequate mitigation of any potentially adverse impacts. The
proposed site is within the Low (L) Residential district. Churches (synagogues) and preschools
are permitted uses within the Low Residential district subject to a Conditional Use Permit and
Planning Commission approval.
BACKGROUND: On July 1, 2001, an application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439
was filed for the construction and occupation of a new master planned Lifeway Church facility
on Vineyard Avenue across from Red Hill Park. The facility included several phases of
construction with a sanctuary, offices, education building, fellowship hall, and gymnasium.
Following the Design Review Committee's approval on April 2, 2002, the Planning Commission
approved the project on April 24, 2002, with 15 Planning conditions, as set forth in Resolution
No. 02-43, 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
i.e., for the education building, fellowship hall, and gymnasium.
The existing portable temporary classroom units were placed on the site in October, 2006, and
as determined by the Planning Commission at their December 13, 2006, meeting, 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, the subject Conditional Use
Permit must be approved for the temporary classroom units to remain until the new classroom
building is completed.
•
The applicant submitted a new application, Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926, for the
remaining phases of the Lifeway Church project that included an educational building, the
temporary classroom modules, a gymnasium, and fellowship hall that had not obtained building
permits prior to the expiration. In addition, the applicant submitted an additional application fora •
Non-Construction Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00544, to operate a private/parochial
school, Kindergarten through grade 12, at the church facility. Both applications were accepted
as complete prior to the April 24, 2007 expiration of the previous Conditional Use Permit. The
project received Design Review Committee approval on June 19, 2007.
At the August 22, 2007 Planning Commission meeting, the above-referenced projects were
presented at a single public hearing for both related requests. The staff report and exhibits were
presented and testimony by the applicant and neighbors was taken. The Planning
Commissioners expressed serious concerns over several aspects of both requests including
school operation and coordination with the nearby public high school, traffic and parking
impacts, substantial noise, site design, and visual impacts of the additional phases and
compliance for the southerly screen wall. The Planning Commission provided direction that a
master phasing plan with potential negative impacts could not be favorably acted upon without
reviewing more substantial architectural design drawings, receiving more school operation
information and detailed traffic and parking information. In an effort to provide the applicant with
an opportunity to rectify these concerns, the items were continued to give Staff an opportunity to
devise a draft set of procedures for the applicant to follow to address the Commission's
concerns adequately.
The continued public hearing items were brought back to the Planning Commission on
September 12, 2007, at which time and in conference with the Planning Department Staff, the
church modified their application, as follows:
The Non-Construction Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00544 for the private school •
operation was withdrawn; and,

2. The application for the Master Plan for future phases was amended to take place without a
phasing plan and to require a Development Review of the Classroom/Education Building
and the Gymnasium.
The Planning Commission accepted the above changes and adopted the following additional
review procedures, as recommended by Staff for Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926, as
the item was continued for the Commission's action at a future date:
1. The Development Review project DRC2006-00926 should be continued by the Planning
Commission to give Staff, the Design Review Committee, and the Planning Commission
an opportunity to review the revised project and provide a further hearing opportunity for
the site and building design.
2 The applicant shall provide full architectural drawings and a site plan for the Classroom
Building and Gymnasium. If changes in grade are necessary, a Conceptual Grading Plan
shall also be submitted.
3. A detailed development schedule shall be provided to establish a timeline for the removal
of the temporary classroom units and all other parts of the program.
4. The applicant shall provide a quality development package for review to Staff within 45
• days so that it can be docketed for review by the Design Review Committee at the earliest
possible date. The Planning Commission will provide the final review of the project after
the Design Review Committee is sufficiently satisfied with the design changes to make a
recommendation.
In accordance with the additional review procedures, as noted above for Conditional Use Permit
DRC2006-00926, the applicant obtained DRC approval on October 14, 2008, and is now
seeking the Planning Commission final review and approval of the project.

D. Site Characteristics:
The project site is terraced into several levels to accommodate the existing and proposed
development, and is located on the east side of Vineyard Avenue and across from Red Hill
Park. Currently, the site is developed with the church sanctuary, offices, and temporary
classroom modules along with fully developed on-site parking and landscaping.
ANALYSIS
A. General: The proposed Classroom Wing will be built first, and will provide the younger,
elementary children with meeting rooms and nursery rooms on the lower level along with
staff offices and other building support spaces. The upper level will provide meeting
rooms for the older children along with a children's worship space. Access to the
Classroom Wing will be from the existing upper parking lot level and from the mid-plaza
level. The upper parking lot access will also provide disabled access via an elevator to the
lower level, which will be at grade with the mid-plaza. This building will maintain a
northerly street side building setback of approximately 40 feet from the curb face on Calle
Del Prado, approximately 365 feet from the neighboring residential property to the east of
site, and approximately 170 feet from the neighboring residential properties to the south.
Upon completion of the Classroom Wing, the existing portable classrooms will be removed
from the site.
The Multi-Purpose Hall will be the next structure built, and will provide amulti-purpose •
room, storage room, serving kitchen, and restrooms. The multi-purpose room
(approximately 6,181 sq. ft.) will be used for dining, social activities, gymnasium, church
meetings, and instructional purposes throughout the week. This primarily single-story
structure will also have a small second-story area for general offices. Access to the multi-
purpose hall will be from the lower main plaza, which is directly across from the existing
Sanctuary. Disabled access will be provided via the elevator in the Sanctuary. The Multi-
purpose Hall will maintain a northerly building setback of approximately 170 feet from the
curb face on Calle Del Prado, approximately 425 feet from the neighboring residential
property to the east of site, and approximately 57. feet from the neighboring residential
properties to the south.
The architecture of the proposed buildings is consistent with the existing sanctuary and
office building. Key features include the use of stacked-stone veneer, plaster reveals,
textured stucco, and solar bronze colored window glazing.
The maximum height for both buildings will be 30'-0" as measured from the lowest
adjacent finished grade surface next to each building, as shown on the submitted Site
Section 3 drawing on plan sheet A1.1.
B. Use Description and Hours of Operation: Religious services take place on Wednesday
evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and on Sunday mornings into the afternoon from
8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The use of the proposed Classroom Wing and the Multi-Purpose
Hall, as described above, will be in conjunction with the general services of the Lifeway
Church.

C. Development Code Compliance: The project complies with the Development Code
requirements for setbacks, building height, the provision of required on-site parking, and
an efficient on-site circulation system. The site is located on and served by a fully
developed public street of the appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the
proposed use.
Although the applicant is proposing a substantial enhancement of the existing landscape
buffer along the site's southerly property line and adjacent to the south side of the Multi-
purpose Hall, Staff is including a condition of approval in the attached resolution to require
that at least 50% or more of the new trees to be planted shall be a minimum size of 36
inch box. The larger tree sizes will aid in buffering the proposed development from the
neighboring residential properties.
Staff has also included a condition to clarify the status of the temporary portable
classroom units in relation to 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 existing
portable units serve as a temporary location to house the meeting rooms for religious
educational purposes that cannot be housed in any of the permanent buildings currently
on the site. The proposed Classroom Wing will meet this need for the additional meeting
rooms, as well as provide nursery rooms, and other support spaces 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.
D. Parking Calculations: Development Code Section 17.12.040(6) (5) (g), requires one
parking stall for every 4 fixed seats in the sanctuary. Currently, the site provides 230 on-
site parking spaces, which well exceeds the 140 spaces required by Code for the 557
fixed seats within the existing sanctuary.
E. Neighborhood Meeting: The architect for the project, Jim DiCamillo, informed Staff that
the most recent neighborhood meeting was held in the Lifeway Church Sanctuary on
January 7, 2008. He estimated that there were approximately 12 to 15 neighbors in
attendance along with about 75 to 100 individuals from the congregation. Following an
introduction by Pasto"r Esteves, the architect stated that he presented a history of the
entire project, an explanation of the process, and a brief summary of where they are in the
process. In addition, a slide show was provided that allowed those who attended the
meeting to view the drawings that were submitted to the City. He also stated that he
described the project and the changes that have been made at that time, focusing on the
consolidation of the Gym and Fellowship Hall into a single Multi-Purpose Hall, and that the
Pastor informed everyone that the church is not proposing a school with the current
application. In his opinion, the project was well received, with the exception of a few who
have strongly opposed anything the church submits..
F. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the applicant's more
recent proposal on November 6, 2007, January 15, 2008, and October 14, 2008, and
• made the following recommendations in the order of each meeting:

• November 6, 2007 DRC meeting: Per the direction of the Planning Commission, the
applicant presented a preliminary concept plan for the Committee's feedback, which
included a scale model of the church campus that offered the opportunity to visualize
the building arrangement, site orientation particularly in relation to the neighboring
down-slope residences, building mass, and architecture. Complaints from a
neighboring property owner who attended the meeting were received that were
primarily about building mass, view, and the unsightliness of the site's southerly 6'-0"
+ high masonry wall that faces the neighboring residential properties. The
Committee conveyed their concerns regarding the neighbor's issues, and directed
the applicant to return to the Committee with a complete presentation of the design.
January 15, 2008 DRC meeting: The applicant submitted a revised proposal that
incorporated the following changes to address the design issues that were previously
raised by the Design Review Committee:
Issue: Consider a re-orientation of the gym so that the shorter dimension of the
building faces the slope and the neighboring homes to reduce the massive
appearance of the building.
•
Plan Revision: The Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall buildings were consolidated
into a single structure. In the previous proposal these two functions were provided in
separate buildings on two levels. In the revised proposal these buildings are
combined into a single Multi-Purpose Hall that would be located on the lower mid •
plaza level. Such a revision reduces both the building square footage and building
mass by eliminating approximately 1,900 square feet.
Issue: It was suggested that a possible change in the pad elevation and/or
landscaping would help mitigate the neighbor's view.
Plan Revision: The pad elevation for the proposed Multi-Purpose HaII was dropped
by approximately 14'-0", and substantial landscaping was added in accordance with
the submitted Planting Plan.
Issue: Can the gym be moved to the east portion of the site?
Response: Staff and the applicant believe that the proposed location for the Multi-
purpose Hall, which includes a regulation basketball court, is best suited for their
needs in terms of public safety when accommodating on-site vehicular traffic and
pedestrian circulation. The Committee and Staff agreed that although a possible
alternative, moving the Multi-Purpose Building to the east would create a non-
integrated campus. Furthermore, the neighboring properties along Calle del Prado
could be subject to additional traffic, safety, and noise concerns which would
necessitate further environmental studies which were not covered by the original
approval and environmental clearances.
Issue: A solution is needed to mitigate the stark appearance of the southerly wall
that faces the neighboring properties. •

Plan Revision: The revised proposal provides for a much greater detail of the
landscape and wall treatment along the southerly property line. The area between
the wall and the property line is shown on the Proposed Planting Plan with
substantial new trees, shrubs, and groundcover material; and according to the
applicant the existing wall would receive a stucco finish of color and texture that
would match the existing church building. In addition, a 6'-0" high wrought iron fence
will be installed to enclose the rear portion of the parking areas, as noted on the
submitted site plan.
Issue: Several neighboring property owners attended the meeting and expressed
their concerns regarding grading, building height, the appearance of the southerly
wall that faces the neighboring properties, conducting a school on the subject site,
and a request to install "story poles." They felt that such poles would provide further
visual guidance as to how high the proposed buildings may appear from the
surrounding properties.
Response and Revision: It was the general consensus of the Committee members
that the church has gone to great lengths to address the issues that have been
raised through the review process, which has made the proposal very acceptable;
therefore, the Committee recommended that the proposal be forwarded to the
Planning Commission subject to the following conditions:
• 1. Erect on-site story poles for the purpose of providing a visual aid to further
convey to the surrounding residences the proposed height of the new buildings.
After the story poles are erected the applicant will notify the Planning
Department of the completed installation of the poles, and request that notices
explaining the purpose of story poles be sent to the surrounding residences.
The story poles shall remain in place for a minimum of two weeks from the
mailing date of the notices.
2. Submit a Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan by a certified civil engineer
for the purpose of identifying and verifying the placement and height of the
story poles, proposed building heights, pad elevations, drainage system, and
the extent of grading that would occur to accommodate the new buildings.
A reduced copy of the required Grading Plan was provided with each notice to the
surrounding residences to further explain the installation of the story poles. The
notices were mailed out on May 13, 2008; however, the installation of the story poles
was delayed until May 19, 2008. The poles were removed on August 5, 2008.
• October 14, 2008 DRC meeting: The applicant submitted a revised proposal that
replaces the upward sloping shed roof design for the Multi-Purpose building with a
lower profile parapet design. This redesign was recommended by Staff to ensure
that the Multi-Purpose building will fully comply with the applicable height
requirements, and to further reduce the overall building mass. Additionally, staff
informed the applicant of new conditions of approval that were further developed in
• conjunction with the review of the re-design. The added conditions include the
application of the stucco finish to the southerly wall and its future maintenance as
well as the installation of wrought iron fencing along the southerly perimeter of the

parking lot. The condition for the removal of the temporary modular units was
reiterated to the applicant and it was made clear that these shall be removed prior to
occupancy of the Classroom Wing. Staff also proposed a condition to require some
larger specimen trees (36-inch box) for the southerly portion of the property and
along the southern slope above the neighbors' property line. The applicants
acknowledged the conditions. The Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly,
Nicholson) approved the redesign as submitted by the applicant and commented that
the applicant has gone to great lengths and great expense to respond to the
concerns of the neighbors and to make the project better. One neighbor attended
the meeting and voiced his continued opposition and concern about the project, its
purported impacts, and his perception of a lack of cooperation from the applicant and
the City.
G. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration
on April 24, 2002, in connection with the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit
DRC2001-00493 for the approval of the initial project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in
connection with subsequent or discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i)
substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts
on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under
which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe
environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new •
or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures
are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to
substantially reduce impacts. Staff has evaluated Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-
00926 and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances
surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe
impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. In that the
applicant is currently proposing a less intense project by consolidating the initial
Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall buildings into a smaller single structure that reduces the
building height, square footage, and building mass by eliminating approximately 1,900
square feet. In the initial proposal these two .functions (i.e., the Gymnasium and
Fellowship Hall) were provided in separate buildings on two levels. In the revised proposal
the buildings are combined into a single Multi-Purpose Hall that would be located on a
lower mid plaza level. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have
more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation
measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than
significant. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission concur with the Staff determination that no additional environmental review is
required in connection with the City's consideration of Conditional Use Permit
DRC2006-00926.
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.

Design Parameters: On September 12, 2007, the Planning Commission directed the applicant to pursue
a more complete design presentation for the remaining buildings for the church campus. The applicant is
presenting a preliminary concept for Committee feedback.
Drawings are attached with an explanation of the building program. More extensive presentation
materials will be provided at the meeting.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends providing the applicant with direction and having the
applicant return to the Committee with a full presentation of the designs.
• Attachment
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: (Fletcher, Munoz, Diaz)
Staff Planner: Corky Nicholson
Also present at the meeting were: Corky Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director; Jim Di Camillo of WLC
Architects; Elena Purice of WLC Architects; WLC Architects; Sylvester Mayberry, Lifeway Church; Pastor
Chris A Esteves, Lifeway Church; Char Ransom, Lifeway Church.
Jim Di Camillo, WLC Architects presented a scale model of the church campus that offered the
opportunity to visualize the building arrangement, site orientation particularly in relation to the
neighboring downslope homes, building mass and architecture. He highlighted a few features of the
design such as the proposed education building that is tucked into the hillside; the fellowship hall
(following the removal of the temporary classrooms); and the gym that now reflects a lowered profile. He
confirmed that the gym will be placed approximately 15 feet closer to the roadway abutting the slope than
the portable classrooms. He commented that the height of the proposed building is about the same as
the two story homes previously proposed for the site. He said moving the gym to a different location on
the site would produce a fire access problem.
Public Comments
~harles Rich, a neighboring resident expressed frustration that the Committee meeting tonight was not
advertised to the neighborhood. He complained that it is his understanding that the gymnasium will be

built approximately t5 feet closer to the "edge" than the existing portable classrooms and because of the
height of the building, will be even more of a visual impact to the homes at the bottom of the slope. He
complained that the neighbors have lost their view. He asked if there was going to be a balcony on the
fellowship hall. Mr. Rich presented photos to the Committee pointing out the view from the homes. He
remarked that he has been given different information on how much the height of the gymnasium has
been lowered. He implied that the grading presented to the neighbors prior to construction is different
from what has occurred and that the road that leads up to the church is higher than what was presented.
He said the path along the wall was not supposed to be there. He complained that the wall that was
constructed looks bad from the neighbors' side but looks nice on the church's side. He expressed
frustration that Planning Staff has not located the specifics of the materials used for the wall. He
responded negatively to offers of mitigation unless they are different to what he has already heard to this
point. He remarked that the church has a poor track record in following through. He said the neighbors
are concerned about the additional traffic that would be generated if the church renews its application to
run a school on site. He expressed concern that the church could have basketball leagues running every
night.
Corky Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director, reported that the current wall was required by the City,
however, no specific conditions could be found that dictated the materials to be used. He said the wall
was constructed to mitigate glare from headlines of vehicles traveling to and from the church. He
reported that overall the slope is being well maintained. He added that the path was required for
maintenance purposes. He noted there were four neighborhood meetings held prior to the original
approval. He added that the use of the gym was included in the original environmental review and that
traffic concerns were considered with that approval. •
Pastor Esteves reported that the wall was constructed as it is to properly distribute weight loads on the
geo grid related to the building pads and to hold the slopes in place and that it had nothing to do with the
cosmetics of the wall facing the neighbors' homes. He said this wall was very costly. He said the church
is willing to stucco the neighbors' side or do something to improve the appearance of the wall. He said
the pathway was required for emergency and fire access and for maintenance of the slope. He said the
pitch of the gym has been lowered as much as possible without losing the usability and intended function
of the building as a gym. He said there will be a great deal of space that can be planted with trees and
flowers. He commented that if adequate trees are brought in, it will help make the view more benign. He
added that the church wants to do what they can to make the neighbors happy but they would also
appreciate consideration because of the possible costs. He noted that the church already spent a great
deal of money on grading and construction and now they have to spend money on something else. He
personally offered to work with Mr. Rich.
Mike Diaz, Senior Planner, suggested they consider a re-orientation of the gym so that the shorter
dimension of the building faces the slope and the neighbors homes rather than the longer side of the
building so as to reduce the massive appearance of the building from the neighbors' homes.
Commissioner Munoz commented that the model is helpful. He noted that the Pastor already offered to
mitigate the appearance of the wall. He said the architecture seems fine but that he would prefer to see
other alternatives. He suggested a possible change in the pad level and/or landscaping to help mitigate
the neighbors' view. He said the hill appears higher from the neighbors' homes and that the view is
harsh for the neighbors. He said there should be a halfway point and that what he is seeing thus far in
compromise is not sufficient. He said he would like to see a landscape plan the next time they come to •
the Committee and he would like them to explore more alternatives to take care of the problem. He said
Mr. Diaz's suggestion of reorientation of the gym is the type of alternative he would like to have them
explore.

Commissioner Fletcher noted that this meeting is an open meeting but not a public hearing and that it did
not need to be advertised. He commented that the way the wall was constructed was not a neighkiorly
way of doing it, that it should be split faced on both sides. He suggested the gym building be lowered,
not just the pitch and eaves, but the grade of the pad that it will rest upon. He said it appears the grading
has changed. He said he would like to see a landscape plan. He suggested they explore the idea of a
forested hillside with appropriate trees that do not produce debris when the winds come. He said they
would need to have substance and height. He asked if the gym could possibly be moved to the east
portion of the site. He added that he wants to see a solution to the appearance of the wall facing the
neighbors. He noted that the City does not have a view ordinance. He added that the use of the gym is
included in the church's Conditional Use Permit and that if the use became a problem, it would be
addressed.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
• 7:20 p.m. Corky Nicholson January 15, 2008
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00926 - WLC ARCHITECTS -Review of the Master Phasing
Plan for the remaining phases of the Lifeway Church project development including a classroom wing,
temporary classroom modules, and amulti-purpose hall on 5.03 acres of land in the Low Residential
District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at 7477 Vineyard Avenue at Calle del Prado -

The above project description has been revised to include a proposed multi-purpose hall, which
combines the previously proposed gym and Fellowship Hall into a single, smaller building as shown on
the submitted plans.
Background: This application was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on November 6, 2007. At
that time, the applicant presented a preliminary concept plan, per the direction of the Planning
Commission, for the purpose of receiving feedback from the DRC (see Attachment A -Design Review
Action Comments dated November 6, 2007).
Design Parameters. Please refer to the Project Description dated December 20, 20D7 (Attachment B
Staff Comments:
Ma'or Issues: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for discussion purposes, which
include the revisions that were previously requested by staff and the Committee. The applicant's
revisions are in italics:
1. Consider a re-orientation of the gym so that the shorter dimension of the building faces the slope
and the neighboring homes to reduce the massive appearance of the building.
The applicant is proposing a consolidation of the Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall buildings into a
single structure. In the previous proposal, these two functions were provided in separate buildings
on iwo levels. In the revised proposal, these buildings are combined into a single Multi-Purpose
Hall that would be located on the lower mid-plaza level. Such a revision reduces both the square
footage and building mass.
2. It was suggested that a possible change in the pad elevation and/or landscaping would help
mitigate the neighbor's view.
The applicant is proposing to drop the pad elevation for the proposed Multi-Purpose Hall by
approximately 14 feet, and add substantial landscaping in accordance with the submitted Planting
Plan.
3. Indicate if the gym can be moved to the east portion of the site
Staff believes that the proposed location for the Multi-Purpose Hall, which includes a regulation
basketball court, is best suited for their needs in terms of public safety when accommodating
• on-site traffic and pedestrian circulation.

4. A solution is needed to mitigate the stark appearance of the southerly wall that faces the •
neighboring properties.
The revised proposal provides for a much greater detail of the landscape and wall treatment along
the southerly property line. The area between the wall and the property line is shown on the
Proposed Planting Plan with substantial new tree planting; and according to the applicant, the
existing wall would receive a stucco finish of color and texture that would match the existing church
building.
Secondary Issue: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the need for a Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan for the purpose of
identifying the extent of grading that would occur to accommodate the new Multi-Purpose Hall.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the proposed
improvements provided that the applicant submits a Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan for staffs
review and approval prior to the scheduling of the required Planning Commission hearing on the
applicant's Conditional Use Permit proposal.
Desian Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Munoz, Stewart, Diaz
Staff Planner: Corky Nicholson •
Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director, gave a brief overview and stated that this is the Church's
proposal for the final phases of their development. He reviewed the overall design and stated that this
meeting is to consider their proposed changes that address the concerns previously expressed.
Jim DiCamillo WLC Architects, presented a material sample board, landscape plan and a model
indicating the changes. He commented that they do not anticipate any traffic issues. He said they held a
neighborhood meeting one week ago. He noted that they have combined the fellowship hall and
gymnasium uses into one building to help mitigate the controversy.. He said the building reduces their
square footage by about 2,000 square feet; the parapet height has been lowered; the building has been
dropped by about 15 feet; and new open spaces have been created. He added that they have
significantly increased the landscaping to the inside and outside areas of the wall. He presented a photo
taken from the corner of Zircon and Balsa. He remarked that the building mass tends to "fade away'
visually the closer it is viewed from the homes. He said one would not be able to see into the backyards
below from the church property above.
An unidentified neighbor asked for a photo taken from the north side looking south because he believed
that the building would block the view, particularly the tower.
Commissioner Munoz remarked that if one stands directly behind the steeple it would block the view. He
noted that Rancho Cucamonga does not have "view rights" and that the church is trying to coin=_ halfway
(with compromise). He reiterated the proposed improvements and said that it is greatly improved from
the proposals of November and December and that they have done much to mitigate the neighbors •
concerns.

Mr. Rich asked if a traffic study would be performed.
Mr. DiCamillo said that this development does not require it; it would be required if the school was still
' part of the proposal.
Commissioner Munoz added that if the school was proposed there would also be the Conditional Use
Permit for the school that would be an added protection.
Mr. Rich retorted that the church is planning to run a school.
Chairman Stewart reiterated that it is not part of their proposal at this time and is not on the table for
discussion this evening.
Mr. Rich complained that the building is only 8 feet lower and only 7 feet lower than what he was told last
time.
Mr. Nicholson said they are going by the approved grading plan.
Mr. Rich claimed the building is higher than that.
Mr. Nicholson stated that he and Mathew Addington spent two hours explaining the grading plans to Mr.
Rich and that the plans are signed and stamped by a registered engineer.
• Mr. Rich complained that th=_ information he has asked for has not been provided and he cannot confirm
what he has been told.
Mr. DiCamillo offered to meet with Mr. Rich to review and discuss the issue.
Mr. Rich indicated he does not believe the site is built according to plan and that he was told the road
would be no higher visually than the wall at the top.
Mr. Nicholson said there is some variation from the high to low points.
Chairman Stewart asked for the record to reflect a 5 minute time limit on comments for the remainder of
the project review because of the argumentative dialogue.
George Guiders, a neighbor, stated that some cities require a "silhouette" or "story poles" of the
proposed building to give neighbors an idea of the height of the proposed structures. He said they are
shot by a surveyor and left up for a week or two; a notice is sent to the neighbors to look at it. He said it
is a minimal cost. He expressed concern that the block wall was built with the split face side facing the
church rather than the neighbors' property. He asked if decoration could be done and if the wall will
continue to the east boundary line. He asked about drainage and a V-ditch.
Mr. Rich questioned the use of sandbags along a portion of the southerly slope
Mr. Nicholson said the sandbags are required.
Pastor Esteves said that the sandbags would be removed when the V-ditch is done.

Mr. Rich continued to contend that he was unsure the development so far was built according to plan and
that the computer generated photos being presented by the architect my not be trustworthy.
Mr. DiCamillo remarked that this technology is as accurate as it gets. He noted that it is part of the
proposal to "dress up" the existing wall with stucco.
Mr. Guiders suggested they "break up" the wall with a pilaster treatment.
Mr. DiCamillo commented that it might draw even more attention to it and would not accomplish the goal
of visually minimizing the wall. He said they would be happy to do the story poles.
Pastor Esteves said they have taken 4-6 months, Have taken the advice and de

• Mr. Nicholson remarked that such poles were used for years before computer graphics and that the
computer generated photos are a much better representation because the poles only reflect a
representation of the height and not building mass.
Mr. Di Camillo asked if a letter would be sent to the neighbors.
Mr. P,ich wanted additional reference points to show how close the buildings would be to their property.
Commissioner Munoz said it would not show that.

Design Review Committee Action:
Staff Planner: Corkran Nicholson
Members Present: Munoz, Wimberly
• Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director gave a brief introduction and noted that the last
time the project was reviewed was on January 15, 2008. He invited the architect to make a
short presentation regarding the change on the roof design.
Jim Di Camillo of WLC Architects noted that there are now two buildings proposed; the
Education Wing and the Multi-Purpose Hall with no changes to the Education Wing. He noted
that they erected story poles on many locations of the site. He said there was some concern of
the height of the ridgeline of the building and so to address the concern, they changed the
design of the roof, eliminating the ridge which lowered the overall height of the building. He said
that was the intent of the story poles, to give people the impression as to how the building would
appear. He said everything else stayed the same.
Mr. Nicholson noted a sheet that makes the comparison of the old plan to that of the revised
plans; Sheet AB5.3 indicates the resulting change in the reduction of the building mass.
Commissioner Wimberly noted a significant reduction in mass.
Mr. Di Camillo commented that the change makes the building appear lower from only from
some perspectives.
Mr Nicholson invited the one neighbor in attendance to comment.
Charles Rich, 8930 Balsa Avenue, said it is true the building height is lower but only to meet the
• City Code requirement of 30 feet and no more than that. He said that he believes there is a
pitch to the roof.
I ~33
Mr. Nicholson clarified that there is a slight pitch to the roof for drainage but that they added a •
parapet to screen that.
Mr. Rich stated that not all of the Commissioners came to view the story poles from his
backyard. He said the project to the north of his and the neighbors yard (southerly slope of the
church property) creates a 30-40 foot "wall." He said because of the grading the project is now
lower on the bottom and higher on top. He said it does not make sense to totally destroy the
homes to spread the wealth around. He said it is unfortunate that not all the neighbors received
the information regarding the meeting this evening and he did not know why. He said it is no
secret they are planning on building a school. He said almost everyone that has looked at this
agrees that it never should have been approved the way it was approved. He said because it
was approved, you have to approve the second phase. He said you are approving an education
building that is planned to be a school and when a plan is presented for a school, it will be
approved for a school. He said there are 11 large rooms. He added that the property is not fit
to be a school and a lot of the neighbors have a concern about that. He said a dead tree has
been there for a year. He said the retaining wall the church built seeps (his neighbor's
property). He said it used to be a wooden fence but now it seeps and has algae growing on it
and is a mess. He said he pointed it out to Trang Hyung (Building Official) and Mahdi Aluzri,
(DCM/Community Development). He claimed the neighbor has complained and nothing has
been done to his knowledge.
Commissioner Munoz confirmed with Mr. Rich that he had completed his comments. He noted
the comment about the pitch of the main building. He asked staff to comment on the seeping
wall.
Mr. Nicholson said he is aware of the wall condition and noted that the staff report for the •
October 22, 2008 Planning Commission meeting notes a condition stipulating that the church
will be responsible for the maintenance and function of all the walls. He added that the church
and the architect have been very willing to look into these matters and correct what issues may
exist. He noted that Mr. Rich commented on the grading. He reported that on the southerly
portion of the site, 19 feet of fill was added when the site was originally graded. He said
Planning is now far more sensitive to these infill concerns than when the original proposal was
presented. He said it is difficult to say what would be recommended at this time. He said that
from working with the church on the original proposal, the plans have changed, that originally
there was to be a gym and fellowship hall (two separate buildings), with the gym located at the
current location/elevation of the modular trailers. He said they have tried to mitigate the infill by
lowering the building pad 14 feet. He noted that if the original 19 feet of infill is considered, the
difference between the 19 feet and 14 feet is a building pad elevation of 5 feet above the natural
grade prior to development. He said that the extent of the lowered pad is consistent with the
interior plaza area which will serve as access to the new Multi-Purpose Building. He noted that
the re-design consolidated the gym and fellowship hall into one building with a net reduction of
approximately 2,000 square feet. He said the new roof design lessens the building mass as
well. He said Staff is conditioning (provided the protect is approved) additional landscaping,
stucco finish to the southerly wall and the installation of 6-foot high wrought iron fencing along
the southerly perimeter of the parking lot (for added security). He commented that these are
substantial improvements. He said this approval has nothing to do with the past approvals. He
said this re-design has been to the DRC three times over the course of 6-7 months with more
than '/: dozen revisions to mitigate the impacts on the adjacent property owners. He responded
to Mr. Rich's comment about only some of the neighbors being invited to this meeting. ,He •
reported that the property owners most affected by the project were invited and that although
I34
• this meeting is not a public hearing, staff wanted to give them the opportunity to attend. He
added that the Planning Commission Meeting on October 22, 2008 will provide a specific,
detailed staff report for a public hearing. He said that it has been fully advertised and all
property owners within a 660-foot radius from the exterior property lines have been noticed. Mr.
Nicholson responded to the comment about the church operating a school. He noted that prior
to the January 15, 2008, meeting the Commission considered the phasing plan and their
request for a school. The Commission heard the concerns of the neighbors and said that there
was not enough information to support approval of a school use, that further environmental
clearance, a traffic study and information from the other schools in the area was needed as well
as additional staff review. Therefore, the church withdrew the application for the school use and
asked that no further phases be considered. The Commission directed that their review would
be through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. The staff report for the upcoming
meeting indicates there will not be a school and that he has a statement from the church
detailing what is proposed for the Classroom Wing and the uses for those rooms that include
meeting rooms and a youth worship area. He confirmed that upon completion of the Classroom
Wing and prior to the Multi-Purpose room being built, the modular units must be removed from
the site
Commissioner Munoz asked what would occur if the church wanted to establish plans for a
school at a later time.
Mr. Nicholson said they would be required to go through a new CUP process with environmental
clearance, a traffic study and with input from the surrounding area schools. He said there are
many issues that this proposal does not even address. He said there is no means for them to
do that without going through the process.
• Commissioner Munoz asked the applicant if they are aware of the condition of the wall
maintenance and of the seeping wall and if they can accept the condition regarding its
maintenance.
Pastor Esteves stated they have already worked out this concern with the affected neighbor
months ago.
Commissioner Munoz summarized the concerns, the wall issue, plans for a school, seepage,
the building height, the slope, maintenance, enhanced landscaping, stucco on the wall, security
fenang for the parking area, etc. He said it is not a public hearing and the applicants are
present to tell them about the changes. He stated he appreciated Mr. Rich's input and it is
difficult situation for the neighbors and for the church to proceed with what they believe their
mission to be. He said the DRC has dealt with this in a fair, drawn out and specific manner, that
they have looked at everything, the building height, the mass, and they put up story poles to
help the neighbors understand what the massing would look like and that the church changed
their plans in good faith. He noted the story poles went up at great expense and that the church
has gone further and with their new plans reduced the mass of the building closest to the
neighbors by nearly one third. He said he believes the church has bent over backwards; it is a
tough problem just short of putting the hill back the way it was 10 years ago. He said he did not
believe any other solution would work here He said he recommends the project be forwarded
to the Planning Commission as presented. He reiterated that this meeting is not a public
hearing, but that was his opinion and he deferred to Commissioner Wimberly for comment.
• Commissioner Wimberly concurred with all of Commissioner Munoz' comments and added that
he felt the cooperation received from the applicant, their product, what they have done and their
135
attempt to mitigate all that is out there is significant. He concurred with moving the project •
forward to the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Munoz recommended the project move forward, that he would not debate the
issue further but invited further comment from Mr. Rich.
Mr. Rich reiterated they do not maintain things now, and that nothing gets done unless the
neighbors complain either on the church side or the City's side. He said the lights were getting
blocked, issues with landscaping being put in, gravel, sandbags and tree removal. He said he
has no assurance they will do anything and he cited old concerns regarding sandbags, lights
and the wall maintenance. He said the stucco treatment on the wall is a new wrinkle and that
no one talked to the neighbors about it, that they won't take care of it and that he did not know if
the neighbors want that. He insisted it would not be taken care of and that the church did not
work with the neighbors as directed by the Commission. He said they did not work with them at
all. He said they just came to us and told us what they want to do and they asked for their
approval. He maintained the building could be moved to the other side of the property. He said
the building is now compacted and on top of them and the height is higher than the City Code
and it does not help them. He said there is a lack of working with the neighbors on their part
(church) and the City.
Commissioner Munoz said he appreciates the church working with the City.
Jim Di Camillo said his company has done work for the City for 25 years and that this project is
an example of the process working. He said the applicant has made numerous changes. He
said the intent is to improve the project and there has been much compromise on the part of the
church. He said staff has done a great job. He said it is an example of a problem being •
resolved with people working together.
Pastor Esteves thanked staff on behalf of the church
Mr. Rich said it would be impossible for him to be at that meeting (October 22, 2008).

SUBJECT: LIFEWAY CHURCH LINE OF SIGHT "STORY POLES"
Dear Property Owner,
The Planning Department staff, in concert with the direction of the Design Review Committee, has been
performing a review of the Master Phasing Plan for the remaining phases of the Lifeway Church project
development including a classroom wing, temporary classroom modules, and amulti-purpose hall on
5.03 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at
7477 Vineyard Avenue (.APN: 0208-921-36).
• As a courtesy, and per the direction of the Design Review Committee, Lifeway Church will be erecting
'story poles" on their church property. Story pules a~A simply PVC poles erected at precise locations on
the subject property for the purpose of providing precise vertical measurements. Such poles are
sometimes used by the construction industry-to help give visual guidance as to how the proposed height
of a future permanent structure may appear from the surrounding properties. The poles will not aide in
giving perspective of the mass of a future building but should be helpful to neighboring residents as to
how high a building may appear from their own home/property.
Lifeway Church plans to erect the poles within the week of May 12-16 and they will remain on the
property for a minimum of two weeks time following the installation of the poles. Included with this letter
is a map that denotes the precise location and elevation of each pole site (indicated with yellow dots) as
well as the vertical elevation for the top of each pole.
Should you have questions or concerns about the story poles, please feel free to contact Elena Purice,
Senior Architect with W LC Architects, at (909) 987-0909.
Sincerely,
PLANNING DEPARTMENT

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: DRC2001-00439/DRC2001-00444
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
• progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staff's is needed, as
determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible Ciiy department

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specifc fndings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby fnds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; and
c. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on April 24, 2002, in connection with
the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439 forthe approval of the initial project.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative
Declaration is required in connection with subsequent or discretionary approvals of the same
project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe
impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under
which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental
impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts
than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce •
impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff has
evaluated Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926 and concludes that substantial changes to the
project orthe circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or
more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. In that
the applicant is currently proposing a less intense project by consolidating the initial Gymnasium
and Fellowship Hall buildings into a smaller single structure that reduces the building height, square
footage, and building mass by eliminating approximately 1,900 square feet. In the initial proposal
these two functions (i.e., the Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall) were provided in separate buildings
on two levels. In the revised proposal the buildings are combined into a single Multi-Purpose Hall
that would be located on a lower mid plaza level. Staff further finds that the project will not have
one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not
have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation
measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant.
Therefore, the Planning Department has determined that no additional environmental review is
required in connection with the City's consideration of Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination that no
additional environmental review is required, and based on its own independentjudgment, concurs
in the staffs determination.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

RECEIVED -PLANNING
Dear Planning Commission Members:
I am writing to you at this time regarding the hearing on the Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926
- WLC Architects - A review of the Master Phasing Plan for remaining phases of Lifeway Church
project development that is scheduled for 10/22/08. It is unfortunate that after all these years of
dealing with this project and all the concerns we have, that we are unable to attend the hearing on
10/22 due to a prior commitment that cannot be changed. When the initial project was presented, we
weren't ecstatic about it but not opposed to it as it was explained to us. Unfortunately, it was not built
according to what was explained to us at the meetings that the church set up, particularly the area next
to the north side of our property (8930 Balsa St.) where they explained that the street being built would
be about the height of our block wall at the east end of our property. When the building began and the
contractors started moving a lot of dirt around, we became very concerned and contacted the city about
the project and how high the road was built up from the original topography of the land. The road is
currently about 10 feet above our block wall at the end of our property as opposed to what we were led
to believe.
A huge concern we have is that there seems to be a lack of records on the part of the city to verify
whether indeed the project was built according to what was planned. I don't believe any redlined (if
that is the appropriate term) records were ever found for verification and what was found and presented
to us was only after many months and us ending up setting up a meeting with the Deputy City
Manager, Mahdi Aluzri and two council members, among others. We still have no confidence that this
was built according to the plans, particularly regarding the raising up of the ground Level of the
property prior to the buildings being erected. If the city code says that the building height is 30 feet
above "adjacent property," it just seems wrong to allow someone to build up the property 10-19 feet
before they start the 30 foot building, making it 40-49 feet above the original Sand. The property
before the church began the building project actually sloped down as it went to the north from our
property, and now we are faced with a solid wall ofwalls and buildings up to 40-50 feet above our
property, right next to us so that we aze totally blocked from any view at all except for any sky we
might venture to see directly above us! (Please don't get distracted about the walls being built because
that is not the issue and we insisted on the wall by the side of the road so we would have a little
privacy. We can deal with that. 1t is the height of the buildings that we are having problems with,
after the ground level was built up so much!). Those planning commission members who came to see
the view from our back yard after the story poles were erected (another long story in how the city and
church couldn't seem to get the process right without complaints and intervention from the neighbors
being impacted) can testify to the height of the proposed buildings and the impact on our property
All along we have tried to get the city to take some ownership of the project and assign one person in
the city for us to deal with but that never happened and we have had nothing but the "run around"
when it came to concerns. The problems have been from the dust created and flooding of neighbor's
property, to the inattention to the landscaping, leading to dead trees (one not being taken care of even a
year later), the lights erected and the lack of blocking so they don't shine directly into our homes, the
placing of portables, etc. The church has also been very unresponsive as well, including up to the
detail of our neighbors to the east of us complaining about the retaining wall that was erected and the
lousy job that was done, having no regard for how [he wall would look on the neighbors' side of the
~~~ ~
property, and the wall still "leaking" and having algae buildup. Nothing has ever been accomplished
or rectified by the city or the church until the neighbors have raised concerns many times.
At a DRC meeting almost a year ago, the church was instructed to work out a positive solution with the
neighbors. The pastor approached me, sometime later as he drove over to my house on New Year's
Day, with no notice, to explain what he wanted to do and to set up a meeting for the neighbors. I
explained that all the neighbors should be included and had to insist that all be notified. When we
went to the meeting, which no city staff attended, the church presented what they wanted to do to
change things and considered no feedback whatsoever from the neighbors. At the next DRC meeting,
the church was praised for changing things, in spite of the fact that they did not "work with the
neighbors" as had been instructed. The DRC has continued to praise them for this in spite of a total
lack of working with the neighbors. The person in charge of the last DRC meeting again praised the
church for being "more than willing to look into and correct" things that needed to be changed, in spite
of the fact that the church has been unwilling to look at moving the location of the proposed
gymnasium to the back of the property, where it would be actually lower than the original hill as
opposed to being so much higher than the original The DRC actually asked the church to look into
this then praised them when they didn't. At the back of the property, the building would also spread
the impact of the project on the surrounding neighbors instead of putting the entire negative impact of
the project on the heads of 3-4 neighbors! This is what we would suggest happen, that the building of
the gymnasium be on the back of the property. We still don't understand why this shouldn't be the
case. The DRC also seemed to be praising the church for lowering the height of the building to 30 feet
instead of 38 feet (which was against code an}~,vay!).
It seems that everyone in the city agrees that this project should not have been approved as it was and
as it has been built and the people who approved it are no longer around. But the feeling is that we
have to live with it anyway and continue to approve something that has such a huge impact on some of
the neighbors; that the placement of the gymnasium still has to be where it is proposed because that is
where the conceptual footprint was located on the first approvals. Now that we know more and see
how the project was built, we should be smart enough to see that the building should not be placed
there but on the back of the property instead, where it will have the least negative impact. That is what
we would request.
The other huge concern that many neighbors have is the building of the classroom building. Not that it
is a problem as a building, but that the church clearly plans on having a school and day care in that
building. They have expressed this on a number of occasions, including at the neighbor meeting (that
was very umreighborly) that was held at the church. If we had not complained and raised the issues at
the planning commission meeting where this was originally presented, we have no doubt that it would
have been approved, even without a traffic impact study, as the city staff were set to recommend
approval! The issue is that the church is no longer applying for a school at this time, but the building
has not been changed one bit from the original proposal and includes 1 l large and some very large (57'
x 23' and 45' 47') classrooms which seem much more than sufficient for Sunday School classes. Our
concern is that the city will follow the same process it has been following with the current application
and say that since "the building was approved to be built, we have no choice but to allow them to open
a school"
1n the Notice of Public Hearing that was sent out, it states that if we want to appeal the decision of the
planning commission, we have to do it within 10 days. Since we can't be at the meeting, please have
someone call us at (909) 980-5923 the following day (10/23) and notify us of the decision of the
planning commission. The letter states that an appeal has to be accompanied by the appropriate filing
fee, but it is our understanding that there is another way to appeal it through the city council and we
would like to know the details ofall ways this could be appealed and what the process would be. We
would like this information as soon as possible, even before the meeting if possible, but the following
day at the latest, since this is information that I would think should have been sent in the notice that
went out.
We appreciate your time and hope you will give thoughtful consideration to our concerns regarding the
approval of the "remaining phases of Lifeway Church project development" and look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely,

P.S. I apologize for the P.S. but want to make sure I include ever}rthing that might be raised in an
appeal. When the DRC directed the church to work with the neighbors regarding the building, we also
took it to mean that they should work with the neighbors regarding what to do to take care of the fact
that they built the wall the way they did, with the poor side facing the neighbors. Again, true to form
the church made their proposition without the neighbors involvement and the DRC accepted it,
knowing they did not work with the neighbors on this issue. I understand that ai this time that the
church and the city have indicated that the church is planning on stuccoing the wall and planting large
trees. We have concerns about the stucco due to the fact that they have not taken care of our side of
the wall, which indicates they likely won't take care ofany issue that arises with the stucco as well as
all the landscaping. We don't really know what is meant by the large trees or how many because it
was not explained at the DRC meeting. I don't know what the answer is on this because I don't know
how the other neighbors fee] about the stucco and the large trees but we feel the neighbors should be
involved in the decision to fix it since we are the ones that were wronged by how the church built the
wall.
