Thomas Grahn, Associate Planner
DESIGN REVIEW 96-31 - CENTEX HOMES - A review of the detailed site plan and
building elevations for an existing residential subdivision (Tentative Tract 14410)
consisting of 35 single family homes on 10 acres of land in the Low Residential
District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located on the east side of Beryl Street, south
of 19th Street -APN: 202-041-01, 17, 22, and 42.
SITE DESCRIPTION: The site is vacant and rough grading has begun. The project has a gentle
north-south slope of approximately 3 percent. A steep slope exists along the east project boundary
which drops down to the Hellman/Beryl Storm Drain Channel. On-site vegetation consisted of
annual shrubs, grasses, and trees, mostly Eucalyptus Blue Gum, whose removal was approved
with the tract. Uses surrounding the site include a church to the north, and residential uses to the
south, east, and west.
ANALYSIS:
General: Tract 14410 was approved by the Planning Commission on March 27, 1991, for the
development of 35 s;ngle family lots ranging in size from 8,000 square feet to 16,000 square
feet. The project proposes four floor plans with three elevations each ranging in size from
2,000 square feet to 2,714 square feet. The units include one single-story and three 2-story
floor plans. All elevations have front-on garages; however, to avoid 3-car garages that
dominate the streetscape, a 2-car garage with a bonus room option was provided for all floor
plans.
Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Tolstoy, Coleman) reviewed the
project on January 14, 1997, and recommended approval of the project subject to the
following:
Revise the rear elevation of Plan 2 by extending the second floor projection to 12
inches, providing three corbels for support, and adding pot shelves below the windows
on the second floor.
2. Delete the wood siding from the rear elevation of Plan 2-B.

3. Delete the wrought iron fence proposed at the top of slope along the east project
boundary. Extend the wrought iron fencing down the slope from the wood fence along
the side property line to the chain link fence adjacent to the channel.
4. On Lots 8 through 14, provide a graded or stepped access path from the top to the toe
of slope to allow for access and maintenance.
5. Provide 24- to 36-inch wide pilasters along the decorative masonry walls per the
following:
a. At all locations where side property lines intersect the north property line.
b. At each end and change in direction of the Beryl Street decorative wall.
c. At each change in direction of the corner side yard wails and return walls.
6. A minimum one-third of the lots (12 lots) shall be designed with the larger side yard
setback on the garage side of the lot to allow for vehicular access to the rear yard.
7. Revise taper of driveways to minimize hardscape in front yards.
8. Low maintenance plants shall be used on the slope at the rear of Lots 8-14.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Design Review 96-31
through adoption of the attached Resolution.

5:30 p.m. Tom Grahn January 14, 1997
DESIGN REVIEW NO. 96-31 - CENTEX HOMES - A review of the detailed site plan and building
elevations for an existing residential subdivision consisting of 35 single family homes on 10 acres of land
in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located on the east side of Beryl Street, south
of 19th Street - APN: 202-041-01, 17, 22, and 42.
Desi~ Parameters:
On March 27, 1991, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 14410 for the subdivision of 10
acres into 35 lots ranging in size from 8,000 square feet to 16,000 square feet. The project site is
bordered by Beryl Street directly to the west and the Hellman/Beryl Channel directly to the east.
Surrounding uses include a church to the north and single family uses to the south, east and west.
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 tkis
project:
The use of 360 degree architectural treatment should be provided. When a major architectural
element is utilized on the front elevation it should be incorporated as a major architectural feature
of the side and rear elevations also. On at least one elevation of each floor plan utilizing wood
siding as a material on the front elevation it should wrap around the entire structure.
Provide one-story massing towards the corner side yards. The footprints of units on Lots 28 and
30 should be reversed.
Provide the larger side yard setback on the garage side of the lot to allow vehicular access to the
rear yard.
Provide a 2-car garage with bonus room option on some floor plans, or offset the third car space,
to avoid 3-car garages that dominate the streetscape.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Revise the stucco stone column base on each elevation to river rock.
Provide brick and river rock accents to the chimney base and cap, on elevations utilizing those
elements.
3. Identify where the masonry return walls will tie into the side elevations.
4. Identify the location of utility connections.
Revise the location of the wrought iron fence along the east project boundary from the top to the
tow of slope. Extend the rear yard fences down the slope to the wrought iron fence.

DISPOSITION OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY ('SUMMIT AVENUE) WHILE
RESERVING AN EASEMENT FOR STREET AND PUBLIC UTILITY PURPOSES -
A request to find the quitclaiming of Summit Avenue, located on the north side of
Summit Avenue west of Etiwanda Avenue, in conformance with the General Plan
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On July of 1993, through Judgement and Final Order of Condemnation, by the Superior Court of the State
of California in and for the County of San Bernardino, the property along Summit Avenue, as shown in the
true and correct copy, labeled Exhibit 'A' and 'B', attached hereto, was granted to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga in Fee Simple.
L. D. King, Inc., Engineer, on behalf of Sacred Heart Church, has submitted a Quitclaim Deed for approval
in regards to a record of survey and subsequent quiet title action. The quiet title was filed to locate and fix
the north-south boundaries of Summit Avenue. A complaint to said quiet title was subsequently filed with
the Superior Court of San Bernardino-West Region, and in order to keep the City from being part of the
complaint or final judgement, the Engineer has requested the City relinquish the fee rights to the Summit
Avenue property; however, an easement will be reserved for street and public utility purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the finding though minute action that the subject
proposed quitclaim of Summit Avenue is in conformance with the General Plan. This finding will be
forwarded to the City Council for further processing and disposition of the property.

CUCAMONGA - A request to amend the antenna regulations to be consistent with
Federal Communications Commission recent regulations. (Continued from
December 11, 1996)
BACKGROUND: These items were originally continued from October 9, 1996, to give the City
Attorney an opportunity to draft a more specific ordinance. The City Attorney anticipates having
the revised draft ordinance for the March 12, 1996, meeting. These amendments are only for the
regulation of satellite dish antennas. When the revised ordinance is ready, we will readvertise
these amendments to clad'~ that they pertain only to satellite dish antennas and that amateur radio
antennas are excluded.
Subsequently, the Planning Commission received a request from Michael Mitchell, a local amateur
radio operator, to create an ordinance that deals specifically with amateur radio antennas. A
separate item has been placed on tonight's agenda to discuss this request.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that these items be pulled from the agenda and
readvertised when the revised draft ordinances are ready.

Co
Site Characteristics: The area requested for change by the applicant encompasses about
8 acres of underdeveloped land on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, north of Laurel Street
between Aspen and Spruce Avenues. Included in the review are the remaining out-parcels
within the block for a total area of approximately 12.5 acres. The site is fiat with grades
sloping gently to the south.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The site is designated Industrial Park in the General Plan and
located in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The Rancho Cucamonga Business Park
Master Plan was approved in 1981 for the area bounded on the north by Foothill Boulevard, on the
south by Arrow Highway, on the east generally by Milliken Avenue, and on the west by Haven
Avenue. The original vision for the subject site was for a continuation of the high-rise office
buildings to the west. To date, two restaurant buildings have been developed on the site with only
one presently in use.
Last year the City Council approved General Plan Amendment 96-01A that authorized Commercial
land use designation for the 14.45 acres between Spruce and Elm Avenues, on the south side of
Foothill Boulevard. The properties in question with this application are directly to the west of
Spruce Avenue. Much of the basis for the General Plan Amendment review revolves around the
action on GPA 96o01A as follows:
Expansion of Area Review: The applicant is requesting to have 7.8 acres within the block
bordered by Foothill Boulevard, Spruce Avenue, Laurel Street, and Aspen Avenue to be
changed to Community Commercial. Within this block there is an additional 4.85 acres not
included in the request. Staff believes that the "piecemeal" approach would cause difficulties
in applying differing development standards to what should be a unified project area.
Therefore, staff has included these out-parcels in an expanded project description for the
Planning Commission's review.
Appropriateness of the existing designation: The existing Industrial Park designation includes
a number of commercial uses that could contribute to a vibrant downtown area. Authorized
uses included restaurants, theaters, art galleries, entertainment, athletic clubs, and indoor
and outdoor commercial recreation. The site is suitable for development under the existing
designation for many office and commercial combinations. The Rancho Cucamonga
Business Park Master Plan, adopted in 1981 and still valid, emphasizes office development
similar to the Barton Plaza to the west.
In addition, many development options are available because many commercial uses are
allowed under this existing zoning. Permitted or conditionally permitted retail uses include
convenience sales (pharmacy, barber and beauty shop, cleaners, tailor, newspaper/magazine
store, florist), food and beverage sales (delicatessen, doughnut shop, ice cream/yogurt shop,
bakery), most retail automotive uses (sales, rentals, repairs, service station), business supply
(business machines, photocopy, print shop), and building supply/home improvement (floor
covering, glass, hardware, lighting, paint, window covering). Also a number of commercial
services are permitted or conditionally permitted, including medical services, financial
services, travel agencies, and real estate services.
Not permitted under the existing zoning are retail commercial uses such as department
store/apparel/general merchandise type retail, home electronics, music and video stores,
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
GPA 96-03A & ISPA 96-03 - RANCON REALTY FUND III
January 8, 1997
Page 3
appliance sales, or furniture stores. These uses would be permitted under the proposed
Community Commercial designation. The Terra Vista Town Center across the street on the
north side of Foothill Boulevard is so designated.
Appropriateness of the proposed project: A Community Commercial site generally ranges
in size from 15 to 50 acres. The 7.8 acres of the applicant's request and the 4.85 acres of
the out parcels total only 12.65 acres. The anticipated leasable area of 101,407 square feet
is within the General Plan's Community Commercial range.
The General Plan set up the hierarchy of commercial site criteria ranging from Neighborhood
Commercial (smallest) to Regional Commercial (largest). According to the General Plan, a
Neighborhood Commercial site ranges from 5 to 15 acres that will support a leasable area
from 30,000 to 100, 000 square feet, and is intended to serve about 10,000 residents in the
immediate vicinity. It is typically anchored by a supermarket. The site size would be typical
for a Neighborhood Center.
General Commercial is the next level of intensity of use. Size is not specified. The K-mart
center on Haven has a General Commercial designation within the Industrial Area Specific
Plan and was established as part of the Rancho Cucamonga Business Park Master Plan.
The Virginia Dare Center also has a General Commercial designation.
Commercial development regulated by the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan is designated
General Commercial under the General Plan. It should be noted that although development
standards with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan identify varying levels of intensity including
a "Community Commercial" designation, none are intended to develop to the intensity of
commercial use described in the General Plan as "Community Commercial." Under the
General Plan designation, the prototype is the Terra Vista Town Center.
The General Plan states that Community Commercial designation is aimed at approximately
20,000 residents within a 5-mile radius. The following table lists the General Plan's intended
features for Community Commercial centers and existing and planned centers along Foothill
Boulevard:

The Regional Commercial designation is at the top of the land use hierarchy. It is expected
to serve a population of at least 150,000 people. An example is the Foothill Marketplace
located east of the 1-15 interchange on Foothill Boulevard. It is a 60oacre site approved for
550,000 square feet of leasable stores.
The applicant has submitted a concept master plan and a justification statement. Much of
the justification is identical to that provided in the Wohl General Plan Amendment application.
According to the concept plan, the site will support 101,407 square feet of commercial, office,
and restaurant uses, with the largest building being a 159,000 square foot commercial use.
Apart from this large commercial use, all other uses identified on the plan would be allowed
under the existing industrial park zoning.
Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: The south side of Foothill Boulevard from Haven
to Milliken was initially planned for professional office use mixed with Food Park uses. Haven
to Aspen has developed with high-rise offices. The introduction of 14.45 acres of Community
Commercial designated land between Spruce and Elm Avenues in May 1996 set a precedent
for the consideration of additional Community Commercial on Foothill's south side.
Commercial use authorization of that site and of this site (if approved) does not, however,
mandate retail commercial development. Office development would still be an authorized use
within Subarea 7 along with the new commercial activities. While retail store configurations
with rear loading doors, big box scale, etc. can be a challenge to fit in with surrounding office
complexes, careful design review considerations can provide methods to alleviate the
conflicting activities.
The Town Center and Town Center Square on the north side of Foothill Boulevard is
designated Community Commercial. The proposed change would expand the Community
Commercial westerly along the south side from the Wohl development at Foothill and Spruce.
This change could develop additional pressure for Community Commercial uses to the west
between the two existing western high-rise offices. Alternatively, this proposal could
strengthen the Community Commercial presence on Foothill Boulevard's south side and
perhaps make it more viable. The combined acreage of the Wohl site and this site is 27
acres, which is well within the recommended Community Commercial size.
Need for additional commercial land: No market demand study was requested for this
specific application. In the most recent analysis (July 1996), vacancy and undeveloped land
figures for commercial land between Haven and Rochester Avenues shows about 49 percent
of the potential leasable area as unoccupied or undeveloped. This figure does not indicate
a need for additional commercial development in this area of Foothill Boulevard. Staff does
not believe this figure has changed significantly.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has reviewed the Initial Study, Part I and completed the
Environmental Checklist, Part II of the Initial Study, and has found no significant adverse
environmental impacts will occur because of the proposed land use amendments. Potential
impacts, determined not to be significant, include:
Ao
Air Quality: The proposed land use change would increase air emissions, primarily from
vehicle trips, due to the increase in intensity of retail development. However, the increase
is below the thresholds of significance established by the South Coast Air Quality District.
Transportation: The proposed land use change does not significantly increase traffic impacts.

GPA 96-03A & ISPA 96-03-RANCON REALTYFUND Ill
Janua~ 8,1997
Page 5
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed land use change may strengthen the Community Commercial
presence on the south side of Foothill Boulevard by being next to the Wohl property. The eventual
land use configuration (if approved) could provide a similar image Community Commercial activity
center at Spruce Avenue opposite Town Center and Town Center Square. Any land use change
within the block between Spruce and Aspen Avenue should affect the entire block to avoid
fragmented zoning without any specific purpose.
Alternatively, the commercial land use change, if developed to its full commercial potential could
preclude the anticipated Foothill Boulevard office park at Aspen Avenue.
FACTS FOR FINDING: Based on the facts and conclusions listed above, staff believes the
Planning Commission can make the following facts for findings regarding these applications:
The properties are suitable for the uses allowed in the proposed land use and development
district designation in terms of access and size, as evidenced by the site's location adjacent
to existing Community Commercial land to the north and east.
The proposed amendments will not have significant adverse impacts on the environment as
described in the Initial Study, Parts I and II.
The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan, Industrial Area
Specific Plan, and Development Code due to the site's capacity to promote the goals and
objectives for commercial and office development.
CORRESPONDENCE: These items have been advertised as a public headng in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property
owners within 300 feet of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
General Plan Amendment 96-03A and Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 96-03 to change
the area bordered by Foothill Boulevard, Spruce Avenue, Red Oak Street, Laurel Street, and Aspen
Avenue to Community Commercial by the adoption of the attached Resolutions.

Potential to degrade: 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?
Short-term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-
term, to the advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A
short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definite period of time. Long-term impacts will
endure well into the future.)
Cumulative: Doesthe project have impacts which are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on
two or more separate resources where the impact on each
resource is relatively small, but where the effect on the total of
those impacts on the environment is significant.)
Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?

Initial Study - Part II
Discussion of Environmental Evaluation
Project Description:
General Plan Amendment 96-03A
Industrial Specific Plan Amendment 95-02
A request for a land use change from Industrial Park to
Community Commercial for 12.5 acres generally located on the
south side of Foothill Boulevard between Aspen and Spruce
Avenues in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan
The numbered responses correspond to the numbered questions in Part of the Initial Study
II. AIR:
ao
The SCAQMD identifies shopping centers as generating more emissions than
office parks (CEQA Handbook). A comparison of the master plan office park
with a potential shopping center indicates that the increase in potential
emissions will not exceed the threshold levels for impact significance (refer to
attached Air Quality Impacts analysis).
III. WATER:
Go
Drainage and flood control issues have been addressed in the Master
Environmental Assessment for the General Plan adopted January 4, 1989,
and implemented by the City's Master Plan of Drainage. These measures are
triggered at the project development level.
IV. PLANT LIFE:
b. The site is rough graded and periodically cleared of weeds. There are no
known rare, unique, or endangered plant species on the site.
Landscaping at the project level will consist of native species and generally
accepted ornamental landscape species with emphasis on drought tolerant
plant materials.
d. No agricultural crops exist on the site.
V. ANIMAL LIFE:
b. The site is rough graded and periodically cleared of weeds. There are no
known rare, unique, or endangered animal species on the site.
Vl. NOISE:
ao
The proposed land use change is not expected to increase noise levels above
that of the existing land use as anticipated in the General Plan and discussed
in the Master Environmental Assessment for the General Plan.
b. There are no sensitive receptors in the surrounding area that is zoned for
commercial and industrial use.
VII; LIGHT AND GLARE:
ao
Light levels for commercial development may be slightly more intense than
levels under the industrial park designation, but not to a level of significance
because the site adjoins Foothill Boulevard, a major commercial thoroughfare.
Commercial development of the proposed site would be consistent with the
light levels of shopping centers on the north side of Foothill Boulevard.
VIII. LAND USE:
a°
General Plan Amendment and Industrial Area specific Plan Amendment
applications are prescribed processes for changing land use designations.
The dual applications are intended to make the General Plan and Zoning
consistent with the subject land area. The change from Industrial Park to
Community Commercial would not result in a substantial alteration of planned
land use because the subject site is adjacent to Community Commercial land
use areas.
Xl. POPULATION:
a°
The proposed land use change would not result in a change in population from
that addressed in the Master Environmental Assessment for the General Plan.
Industrial Park is considered a high employment generator comparable to
Commercial use. Further, many commercial uses are allowed within the
Industrial Park land use category. No residential uses are allowed in either
zone.
Xll. HOUSING:
Based on information contained in the Housing Element and the Master
Environmental Assessment for the General Plan, current and planned housing
stock will be sufficient to meet the needs of employees wishing to live in the
City. There will be no significant increase in employment generation from retail
commercial uses over industrial park uses; therefore, no significant impact on
housing needs.
Xlll. TRANSPORTATION:
XlV.
XVI.
XVIII.
XIX.
XXe
a. A review of anticipated development for the land use change by the
Engineering Division revealed no significant traffic impacts.
b. Parking will be provided consistent with the Development Code for commercial
uses.
Co
Public transportation is available along Foothill Boulevard. There will be no
significant change in the demand for public transportation with the proposed
change in land use. The retail commercial uses authorized for future
development are consistent with those permitted under the Development Code

Purpose
We are providing an analysis of the air quality caused by revising
the original Master Plan for the subject site. In performing the
analysis, the following methodology was used with reference to the
South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Handbook.
The-thresholds provided on page 6-2 of the Handbook were used to
determine the potential significance of air quality impacts related
to the proposed project. Tables 9-7 and 9-8 were utilized in
calculating the amount of pollutant generation for individual land
uses. The level of development shown on the original Rancho
Cucamonga Business Park Specific Plan was considered to be the
baseline for comparison. The analysis was done to determine if the
proposed project would generate substantially increased emissions
such that the thresholds shown on page 6-2 of the CEQA Handbook
would be exceeded.
Attached is a copy of the original Master Plan together with a
building square foot and parking analysis along with the revised
Master Plan reflecting the proposed land uses.

Page 2
ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing a sit-down restaurant with bar serving alcoholic beverages. The
restaurant features 5,420 square feet of interior space with the potential future installation of an 800
square foot patio area for outdoor dining. The site is part of a large vacant parcel owned by Rancon.
A General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change for the overall site are pending.
Design Review Committee: The Committee (Macias, Fong) reviewed the project on December 30,
1996, and recommended the project be restudied and brought back for further review (see Exhibit
"G"). Recommendations included redesigning the west and south elevations, extending the sidewalk
link from Applebee's across the site, and incorporating brick accent material. The project was
scheduled for Committee review on January 14, 1997, however, the applicant was unable to submit
revised plans; therefore, the item was continued to February 4, 1997. On February 4, 1997, the
Committee (Bethel, Macias, Coleman) again reviewed the project and recommended approval subject
to the following conditions together with those recommended on December 30, 1996:
Add cornice treatment to the top of the 6-foot high freestanding wall along the west elevation
to match the smaller cornice on the building.
2. Cover the entire 6-foot high freestanding wall along the west elevation with terra cotta tile.
Add score/reveal lines to elevations to provide visual interest and detail and to prevent the
stucco from cracking.
Technical Review Committee: The Technical and Grading Review Committees have reviewed the
project and recommend approval subject to the conditions contained in the attached resolution.
Environmental Assessment: The Initial Study has been completed and attached for your review. Staff
has determined that the project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot
radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval
with conditions and issuance of a Negative Declaration.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96-26 - BROOKLYN DELl - A request to construct a 5,420 square foot
restaurant and bar on 1.10 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan located at the northeast comer of Laurel Street and Aspen Avenue - APN: 208-352-80
Design Parameters:
The site has been rough graded and is directly south of the existing Applebee's restaurant. The site is
part of a larger vacant parcel owned by Rancon. A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to change
the land use from Industrial Park to Community Commercial for the overall site are pending; however,
the restaurant/bar use is conditionally permitted under the current industrial zoning subject to Industrial
Park requirements. The proposed building will be visible from Foothill Boulevard, Laurel Street, and
Aspen Avenue.
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:
Restudy design of west and south elevations to provide greater articulation, fenestration, and
detail, and to avoid blank walls. The south and west elevations are important streetscape
elevations and should not be treated as the "back side" of the building.
The enhanced walkway south from Applebee's should be extended as an east-west walkway,
including lighting, along the north edge of the subject site to provide a connection to future
development parcels to the east. Decorative pavement should match existing at Applebee's.

prehistory?
Short term: Does the project have the potential to achieve shod-term, to
the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A shod-term impact
on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period
of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) ( ) ( )
Cumulative: Does the project have impacts which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small,
but where the effect on the total of those impacts on the environment is ( ) ( ) (
significant.)

a)
The absorption rate will be altered because of the paving and proposed hardscape.
All waters will be conveyed to approved drainage facilities which have been
designed to handle the flows.
Light and Glare:
a)
New light and glare will be created because the property is currently vacant. A
condition of approval requires the applicant to submit a lighting plan for review and
approval to ensure the light does not spill over on to adjacent properties.
Risk of Upset:
a)
The use of natural gas for cooking could pose the potential for explosion. Special
permits will be required by the Fire District to minimize the potential. The impact
is not considered significant.
Discussion of Land Use Impacts:
The project is a conditionally permitted use in the Industrial Park land use category.
Should the project be approved, conditions will be added to ensure compatibility with
surrounding property and uses.

APPEAL OF A SIGN REQUEST WITHIN UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM 20 -
ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE -An appeal of the City Planher's decision
regarding signs for Orchard Supply Hardware in the Community Commercial District
(Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 9080 Foothill
Boulevard - APN: 208-101-20
ABSTRACT: The applicant is seeking approval to install a secondary wall sign which reads
"Complete Hardware and Garden" in addition to the main business identification sign reading
"Orchard Supply Hardware" (Exhibit "C"). The applicant contends that the proposed secondary
sign copy is trademarked and is an integrated portion of the Orchard Supply Hardware title and
identification and should therefore be allowed.
BACKGROUND: On October 7, 1996, the City Planner approved a Minor Development Review
application to allow exterior remodeling and parking layout revisions at the location of the old
"Gemco" store (at Rancho Towne Center) to accommodate Orchard Supply Hardware with an
outdoor garden supply area. On December 23, 1996, the City Planner approved with modification
the Orchard Supply Hardware five sign package request (Exhibit "B"). The approval allows all of
the requested signs, including sizes and colors, but requires that the secondary 1-foot high by 19-
foot long wall sign reading "Complete Hardware and Garden" be modified to read "Garden Center"
(Exhibit "C").
ANALYSIS: The Sign Ordinance states that "sign copy shall include minimal information only. The
use of subordinate information such as telephone numbers, lists of products, pictures of products,
etc. are discouraged. The name of the use or business shall be the dominant message on the
sign." Similarly, the Uniform Sign Program for the Rancho Towne Center states that "tenants shall
display only their established trade name of their basic product name, e.g., 'John's Jeans,' or
combination thereof. Signs are to be used for identification of business only, not products." The
proposed "Complete Hardware and Garden" sign has redundant and subordinate business and
product information inconsistent with these requirements.
This limitation is consistently enforced and is intended to provide an economically stable and
visually attractive community. Examples of other relatively new businesses in the City similar to
Orchard Supply Hardware which have complied include Wal Mart, Home Depot, and Target. The
Planning Commission has consistently allowed stores with significant secondary goods and
services a separate sign particularly if there is a second public entrance. Examples of this include
the garden centers for Wal Mart, Home Depot, and Target.

Approval of the applicant's proposed sign copy would be inconsistent with previous Commission
actions including those noted above. Further, staff finds no unique circumstances about the
subject request that would justify an action for approval. Staff believes that the modified approval
provides ample identification of the existence of a garden center in association with the Orchard
Supply Hardware store. Furthermore, the Sign Ordinance allows pedestrian traffic signs, either
wall, window, or canopy, up to 6 square feet, to identify the business at the pedestrian level.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission uphold, by minute action,
the City Planner's decision and deny the appeal.

Dear Brad,
Per your request, I have enclosed full size and reduced sized drawings of our
signage proposal for Orchard Supply Hardware. Please accept this letter as our
formal application, request to proceed on the project and formal appeal of the
Pla .rming. Departrnent's dedsior, not to allow the "Complete Hardware & Garden~'
copy'as reqrie~ed.
As you will note, we are formall}' requesting the copy "Complete Hardware &
Garden". This copy is a trademarked, integrated portion of our companies t/tle and
identification. It's not as if we're advertising a spedtic product or product line, it Ls
a general line used with all company identification and advertising; and is
especially important in Southern California where Orchard Supply Hardware is not
as well know.
I understand that you are not be able to approve the "Complete Hardware &
Garden" copy at staff level, so please approve as much of the project as possible,

SUBJECT: SIGN PERMIT APPLICATION USP 20 - ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE
Dear Mr. Maynard:
Your sign permit application for the Orchard Supply Hardware project located at 9080 Foothill
Boulevard (Uniform Sign Program # 20) has been approved with modifications. Four of the five
signs you have proposed are consistent with City requirements and are approved. Sign number 2,
however, which is a 1-foot wide by 19-foot long sign reading "Complete Hardware and Garden,"
contains redundant and subordinate business information inconsistent with the Sign Ordinance and
Planning Commission policy. This sign is approved in a modified version reading "Garden Center"
only (see attached redlined plans).
The Sign Ordinance and Planning Commission policy limit business identification sign copy to the
business name. This is consistently enforced and is intended to provide an economically stable and
visually attractive community. Examples of other businesses similar to Orchard Supply Hardware
which have complied include Wal Mart, Home Depot, and Target.
This decision shall be final following a ten-day appeal period beginning with the date of this le,t~r.
Appeals must be filed in writing with the Planning Commission Secretary, state the reason for the
appeal, and be. accompanied by a S62 appeal fee.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Brent Le Count at (909) 477-2750.

of "You get what you pay for," our antenna products
typica!fy last years longer than our
competitorS. From thick-waft aluminum tubing,
stainless steel nuts and bolts to machine formed and

REQUEST TO INITIATE A DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT TO CREATE AN
AMATEUR RADIO ANTENNA ORDINANCE - MITCHELL
BACKGROUND: In response to recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations,
the City Attorney prepared an ordinance amending the City's regulation of satellite dish antennas.
The ordinance specifically excluded amateur radio antennas. The original October 9, 1996, public
hearing was continued to allow additional time for the City Attorney to revise said ordinance.
Subsequently, the Planning Commission received a request from Michael Mitchell, a local amateur
radio operator, to create an ordinance that deals specifically with amateur radio antennas. Mr.
Mitchell feels that the current regulations for amateur radio antennas should also be modified in
response to the FCC rulings. In a letter dated January 21, 1997, Mr. Mitchell outlines a set of
amateur radio antenna regulations. In some cases, such as antenna height, Mr. Mitchell describes
a wide range of options for the Commission to consider.
Staff supports the creation of an ordinance that specifically addresses the needs of amateur radio
operators. The issue has been controversial in the past because of the sensitivity of the community
to the aesthetic impact of antennas.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission direct staff to initiate an
amendment and provide staff with direction on the development standards and review process
desired.

Re: Amateur Radio Antenna Ordinance
Dear Dan:
As you are aware, we have requested the Planning Commission to amend the development code
in the creation of an Amateur Radio Antenna Ordinance. As outlined in our letter dated
December 11, 1996, we feel that the City's current development code as it relates to amateur
radio antennas is not in compliance with Preemption Order number PRB-1, as issued by the
Federal Communication Commission in 1985. That order created a partial federal preemption
over state and local regulations as they relate to amateur radio antennas. In so doing, PRB-1
requires municipalities to make "reasonable accommodation" for amateur radio communications
in their regulations and that said regulations must "represent the minimum practicable
regulation" to accomplish the local authorities legitimate purpose. Over the years, the litigation
concerning this issue has defined the local jufisdiction's legitimate purposes to consist of a)
health and safety and b) aesthetics. It is with these guidelines in mind that we begin our
discussion about the different issues that arise when discussing antenna regulation.
Height of support structure - This is probably the number one issue concerning the regulation of
amateur radio antenna systems. The city's current ordinance allows the erection of a 35 foot
support structure without obtaining a permit, requires a permit for a structure in excess of 35 feet
and limits the overall height to 50 feet. This 50 foot height limitation is not adequate for good
high frequency radio communication and therefore, is not reasonable.
Amateur radio operators believe that antenna support structures up to 200 feet should be allowed
in any amateur radio antenna ordinance. This is the height limit provided under regulations from
the Federal Communication Commission, and based upon said regulations, most amateur radio
operators feel at a loss with anything less. We believe that the City's concern should be the
manufacturer's specifications rather than the overall height of the antenna support structure.
Regardless of antenna height, we believe that the insistance that the antenna support structure
manufacturer's specifications meet the criteria of the 1994 Uniform Building Code Design of
Welded Structures ratings at wind speeds of 70 miles per hour using Wind Exposure Coefficient
B is the "minimum" regulation to accomplish the city's health and safety purpose.

Aesthetics is a very emotional issue when it comes to the height of antenna systems. It is too
subjective to articulate in any kind of regulation scheme. Our argument is that the aesthetics of
the antennas sitting on top of the antenna support system are pretty much the same regardless of
the height of the support system. In fact the higher the support system, the smaller the antennas
look, which equates to better aesthetics is some peoples' eyes.
Our arguments that cover different height limits are as follows:
200 feet- This is the height that we are allowed by the Federal
Communication Commission regulations. Some jurisdictions that
currently have either a 200 foot limit or no specified height limit are San
Diego County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, Los Angeles City,
La Verne and Pomona.
140 Feet - This limit would allow an amateur radio operator to erect a one-
quarter wave vertical antenna for 160 meters. Such a limit would also
allow a support structure taller than a full wavelength on 40 meters and
one-half wavelength on 80 meters. Full wavelength and one-half
wavelength are important heights used in calculating the overall
effectiveness of an antenna system.
100 feet - This is the approximate height of the antenna system owned and
operated by the West End Communications Authority which the City
utilizes for its own radio communications. I see this antenna system every
day from my house at 5271 Turquoise Avenue. It seems that the experts
relied on by the City for its own radio communications have determined
that 100 feet is the height necessary for effective radio communications.
75 feet - This is the height that allows an amateur radio operator to support
an antenna system at a height greater than a full wavelength on 20 meters.
Any limitation less than 75 feet would not be acceptable by most amateur
radio operators. Jurisdictions that currently have a 75 foot height limit
include Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano
and Fontana.
We believe that a good height limit compromise that would balance the needs of the amateur
radio operator and the city would be as follows:
1. 35 feet and under - No permit required. This would not be a change from
the development code as it currently exists.
Mr. Dan Coleman
Re: Amateur Radio Antenna Ordinance
January 21, 1997
Page 3
2. 35 to 100 feet - Permit required.
3. 100 to 200 feet - Conditional Use Permit required.
Crank down clause - The City's current development code requires that an amateur radio antenna
support structure must be cranked down to 35 feet or less when not in use. The amateur radio
community does not understand this provision at all. As previously discussed, lowering the
height of an antenna system has little, if not a detrimental, effect on the aesthetics of the
situation. This also precludes the amateur radio operator from purchasing the type of antenna
support structure that does not crank down, of which there are many that meet the criteria of the
1994 Uniform Building Code Design of Welded Structures ratings at wind speeds at 70 miles per
hour using Wind Exposure Coefficient B. It is a very simple argument, as follows:
If the antenna support structure meets the relevant building code standards, cranking it
down is not necessary for safety purposes. If it does not meet these standards, then it
should not be erected to begin with.
Number of antennas - The current development code allows an unlimited number of antennas
that are 35 feet or less in height, but only one is allowed to be in excess of 35 feet. We believe
that multiple antennas in excess of 35 feet should be allowed based on lot size. A suggestion
would be that one is allowed regardless of lot size, 2 allowed on a one-half acre lot, 3 allowed on
a three-quarter acre lot, 4 allowed on a one acre lot, etc.
Setbacks. etc. - I don't believe that the amateur radio operators in Rancho Cucamonga have a
problem with setbacks, distance from property lines and location criteria currently contained in
the development code. We do want to use our side yards and back yards, but I don't know any of
us that want to have antennas in our front yards.
Minor development review - The current development code requires a minor development
review for the construction or placement of antennas "visible from public view". Amateur radio
operators are constantly experimenting with antenna systems. Experimentation is one of the
reasons that amateur radio even exists. We consider the requirement of a minor development
review to be oppressive, especially for antennas less than 35 feet which don't even require a
permit under the current development code. Additionally, the fee of about $300 that is required
for a minor development review will tend to curtail future antenna experimentation by the
amateur radio operator. It is our feeling that the minor development review should only be
required as part of the conditional use permit process for antenna support structures above our
suggested height of 100 feet.
Mr. Dan Coleman
Re: Amateur Radio Antenna Ordinance

Page 4
Separate ordinance - As a final item, we believe that amateur radio antennas should be covered
by a separate ordinance and not be included with silos, barns, and other structures in the
development code.
Hopefully, this information is detailed enough for your purposes. Please advise me as to the City
Staff recommendations in this area when they are developed.
Thank you,
