VACATION OF A PORTION OF PREVIOUSLY DEDICATED RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR
CHURCH STREET - A request to vacate street right-of-way for a bus turnout, located at the
southeast corner of Church Street and Elm Avenue East, dedicated per Tract No. 13270 (V- 148)
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Lewis Development Co. is processing traffic signal plans for the intersections of Church Street with Elm Avenue
East and with Spruce Avenue, the installation of which have been placed as conditions of approval on several
recent Terra Vista projects. They are concurrently processing revisions to the related street improvement plans
to bring the striping, wheelchair ramps and an existing bus turnout into conformance with current standards.
The developer is reconstructing an existing bus turnout at the so/~iheast comer of Church Street and Elm Avenue
East per Standard Drawing 119. To do this requires reconfiguration of the right-of-way. Therefore, Lewis
proposes to vacate the existing excess right-of-way immediately adjacent to the intersection (Exhibit B) and
rededicate right-of-way for a bus bay consistent with Standard Drawing 119 (Exhibit C).
Vacation of a portion of the previously dedicated right-of-way along Church Street is consistent with the
General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission make the finding through minute action that the subject proposed
vacation is in conformance with the General Plan. The finding will be forwarded to City Council for further
processing.

ANALYSIS:
Ao
General: This review is for consideration of environmental clearance only. The applicant is
proposing to expand their manufacturing operation to bring all equipment and materials inside
a building. Wallner Tooling manufactures expanded sheet metal which is then later used for
finishing by others. There is room on site to add more than 20,000 square feet to the existing
building. The Design Review Committee supported an addition as large as 25,000 square
feet. This would require three more parking spaces and the project includes a surplus of four
spaces. Furthermore, the additional space would not change the environmental assessment
or staff's recommendation. Following issuance of a Negative Declaration, the City Planner
will conditionally approve the project.
Bo
Design Review Committee: On May 6, 1997, the Design Review Committee (Bethel and
Coleman) requested that the project be redesigned to address staff/Committee concerns and
brought back at the following meeting per the attached Design Review Committee Action
Comments (See Exhibit "F"). The revised project is scheduled for another Committee review
on May 20, 1997. An oral report of their recommendations will be made.
Technical Review Committee:
approval subject to conditions.
The Committee reviewed the project and recommended
Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed by the applicant.
Staff completed Part II of the Initial Study, the Environmental Checklist. Staff feels that no
significant adverse environmental impacts would result from development of this project; even
with the additional square footage discussed at the Design Review Committee meeting. If
the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Negative Declaration would be in
order.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission issue a Negative
Declaration for Development Review 97-02.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:35 p.m. Brent Le Count May 6, 1997
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 97-02 - WALLNER
TOOLING - Review of detailed site plan, landscape plan, and elevations for the construction of a
20,000 square foot addition to an existing 16,000 square foot building on 2.33 acres of land, located
within Subarea 14 (General Industrial) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, at 9076 Hyssop Drive -
APN: 229-283-007.
Design Parameters: The 2.3- acre site is located at the northwest comer of 6th Street and Hyssop
Drive and is occupied by an existing 16,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The site is adjacent
to the I-15 Freeway to the west and all other surrounding properties are vacant. The addition is for
expansion of the existing manufacturing use which involves the processing and fabrication of sheet
metal into partially finished products. The addition will also house the excess materials currently
stored outdoors on site. The existing building is a simple metal building with exposed block
foundation built in the early 1980s. The Industrial Area Specific Plan prohibits use of all metal
sheathing for newly constructed buildings; however, because this is a proposal for an attached
addition to an existing metal building, staff has determined that it would be appropriate to allow the
addition to be metal. However, the design of the metal addition must maximize architectural quality
rather than simply provide a more cost-effective construction alternative.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Major Issues: The following broad design issues xvitl'be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project.
The office/entry portion of the building should be much stronger as it is located near the
comer of Hyssop Drive and 6th Street and is one of the few form-giving elements of the
building. Revise elevations to articulate* building entrance and provide a formal entry
statement through variations in architectural planes, pavement surface treatment, and
landscape plazas.
The building walls are long (200 feet), flat, monotonous, uninterrupted planes. Revise
building elevations to add visual interest through variations of architectural planes,
fenestration**, color/material variation, and use of decorative architectural elements (such
as metal corbels supporting mansards similar to the BHP Steel building).
The existing exposed foundation is smooth-faced concrete block which, while most
inexpensive, provides little aesthetic value. Provide decorative block for exposed
foundation treatment (such as split-faced block, slump stone, brick, or equivalent). Also,
use veneer matching appearance of decorative block on existing exposed foundation to tie
the addition and existing building together visually.
4. Revise Site Plan to eliminate excessive and unnecessary pavement areas, particularly the
northerly two-way drive aisle (see attached sketch).
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.:
Provide landscaping along west edge of site to screen views of loading doors on the west
elevation from the I-15 Freeway (one tree per 30 linear feet as required by the Industrial
Area Specific Plan).
EXHIBIT "E"
DRC COMMENTS
DR 97-02 - WALLNER
May 6, 1997
Page 2
3. Provide intensified landscape treatment at southeast comer of the site to take advantage of
the large landscape area and to emphasize the entry statement.
4. Provide masonry pilasters for wrought iron fencing along both street frontages. Masonry
should match that used on exposed foundation.
Landscape 6th Street per City Master Plan with Magnolia grandi flora "Majestic Beauty"
trees within the parkway. Sidewalk should be adjacent to property line as shown on the
Site and Grading Plans (not adjacent curb as shown on Landscape Plan).
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Landscape the frontage along the 1-15 Freeway or pay in-lieu of construction fees per
Planning Commission Resolution 87-185.
2. Screen parking from street with a combination of undulating berms, landscaping, and/or
low walls.
3. Screen propane tank near west property line frt)in the street with landscaping and/or low
walls.
4. Specify on the plans that any rooftop equipment will be screened from view of surrounding
public rights-of-way, including the 1-15 Freeway.
Revise Landscape Plan to show property line adjacent sidewalk consistent with the Site
and Grading Plans. Note that this revision will affect landscaping shown on both street
frontages.
6. Provide tables, benches/chairs, and trash receptacles for outdoor eating area.
*Articulation is a variation in the building planes (vertically or horizontally).
**Fenestration is the placement/organization of windows, doors, and any other building openings.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee recommend approval
of the project with the above changes.
Attachment: Site Plan
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Bill Bethel, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Brent Le Count
The Committee requested that the project be redesigned to address staff's comments and brought
back at the May 20, 1997, meeting. The Committee added the following additional comments:

Provide masonry wall along north property line to reduce impact of northerly winds on site.
Stucco exterior of exposed foundation on existing and proposed addition to provide visual
interest and tie the addition and existing building together visually.
The Committee also supported the concept of expanding the addition to the north by 4 to 5,000
square feet as a way to eliminate excess paving.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) 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? ( )
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-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 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.) ( )
Substantial adverse: Does the project have
environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? ( )

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 97-02 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - An application to
change the use provisions of Subarea 16 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan to
allow the development of 15 acres of neighborhood commercial uses, subject to
conditional use permit authorization, at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and
Archibald Avenue, and to update Subarea 16 standards to reflect previously
adopted use provisions. An Environmental Impact Report that assesses the
impacts of this proposal has been certified. APN: 210-062-08

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
ISPA 97-02 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
May 28, 1997
Page 2
ANALYSIS:
General: On November 20, 1996, the City Council approved Industrial Area Specific Plan
Amendment No. 96-04 that, as part of the Cucamonga Cornerpointe residential project,
authorized 5 acres of neighborhood commercial uses at the subject location. In December
1996, the property owner, Mr. De Berard requested that the City Council reconsider the
decision and allow greater area for neighborhood commercial uses. Early in 1997, the City
Council determined that the City should formally re-evaluate the amount of commercial land
appropriate for the area. Staff has formulated this amendment application in response to the
Council's directive.
The City Council, in making the decision to initiate the application, felt that it would be
appropriate to consider allowing for the maximum degree of land use flexibility for future
neighborhood commercial activity.
In addition, included with this application, are some permitted use provisions that were
previously adopted by the City and are included as an "update" item. These items are
included in the attached Resolution of Approval
Bo
Environmental Assessment: The proposed am6~nt of neighborhood commercial land was
evaluated as part of an alternative in the "Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan
Subarea 16 Redesignation EIR (1996)." The increase from 5 to 15 acres of discretionary
neighborhood commercial uses within the context of Subarea 16 should not present
significantly more adverse impacts than already identified in the EIR. Each conditional use
permit application will be subject to CEQA assessment when formally submitted to the City.
FACTS FOR FINDING: Based on the facts and conclusions listed above, staff believes the
Planning Commission can make the following facts for findings regarding this application:
Ao
The property is suitable for the uses allowed within the neighborhood commercial designation
in terms of access and size, as evidenced by the site's location adjacent to existing industrial
and commercial projects; and,
The proposed amendment will not have adverse impacts on the environment significantly
more intense than those described in the Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 16
Redesignation EIR, but the potential positive impacts of other environmental aspects to the
adjacent residential areas will provide sufficient benefits, as listed in the Statement of
Overriding Consideration, to approve the amendments; and,
Go
The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan, Industrial Area
Specific Plan, and Development Code because of the site's capacity to promote the goals and
objectives for neighborhood commercial development and still allow for the development of
industrial park land within Subarea 16 as may be needed.

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 500-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission believes additional commercial area is now
warranted for the site, staff recommends that the Commission adopt the attached Resolution

Re: Reconsideratica of commercial uses at the
Archibald Avenue and Sixth S xeet
southwest corner of
The De B~'rard family, as you may recall, are owners of the 18 acres at the
southwest corner of Sixth and Archibald since 1902, and we are here tonight
because we were confronted with this issue by the d,vclopment of Crriffin
Industries rosidcnfial development within sub area 16. When city staff
recommended a 5 acre commercial d,signation on our property, wc were
delishted. At the Planning Commission and City Council meetings we had
requestexl that the cornmercia. designation b, expanded to 10 a{;res. We
based this request on that t~ typic, l neighborhood development (as an
example) of a major supermar;oct, drugstore, and small shops would require
-32,000 square f~t of land or ~-pproximatcly I0 acres. Wc also felt that due
to the lack of commcmial services in the area, with respect to the proposed
now residential project and existin8 homes, that the expand,d designation
would be beneficia/--not only to the community and residents, but to the city
in increased tax revenues.
I am here tonight in a catch 22 situation. At the City Council Meeting on
D~c~rabcr 4, 1996. that adopzed ordinance//95-04 regarding sub area 16
and Griffin Industries, our req ~est was positively discussed by this council,
relative to increasing the size of the commercial designation from 5 acres to
10 acres. but was not made a part of the motion. The city attorney stated to
Mayor Alexander, that since t~ e mot/on on the ordinance was voted on and
approved as read, that the council, per lesal requirements, could not amend
their action. Therefore, it was requested by Mayor Alexander, after
conferring with Mr. Bullet, tha: the issue had to be sent back to city staff for
EXHIBIT 'B'

evaluation and forwarded to t~e planning comm{ssion and back to the City
Council. Mayor Alexander's i ~terpretafion was
that the council was in favor of the expansion.
According to Mr. Bullet, as stated in the Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes, the expansion from 5 acres to 10 acres would require an
amendmere to the Industrial Soooifio Plan relative to sub area 16 and could
be as simple as changing a 5 to a 10.
Please keep in mind we are not requesting a general plan amendment or a
zone change, merely an expansion of the commercial use within ISP sub area
16.
In conclusion. the De Berards are in suppo. rt of Alternative 2-A in the staff
report to expand the commercial limifafions of $ acres to a size not
excx, eding 15 acres, although the entire 18.33 acres could be included in the
requested expansion within ISP sub area 16. We feet the city and this
council should proceed with -he amendment as required or necessary. I
stand before you tonight to ask for your approval of our request.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey R. Do Berard

H. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS
H1. DISCUSSION OF MR. DE BERARD'S REQUEST FOR LAND USE RECONSIDERATION
Staff report presented by Brad Buller, City Planner.
Councilmember Curatalo stated if Mr. DeBerard could justify why he needs 10 acres, he would go along with
him, otherwise, he would have to go along with the Planning Commission.
Jeff DeBerard read a letter to the Council which is on file in the City Cierk's office.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt a proposed tenant would feel uncomfortable coming in if this is not changed
ahead of time.
Mr. DeBerard stated they are not wanting to rezone the property to commercial, but to expand the
designation of the 5 acres within the Industrial Area Specific Plan. He stated this would allow them to
have a commercial development within the industrial park zone.
Brad Buller, City Planner, referred to page 108 regarding Mr. DeBerard's request. He pointed out the key is
who initiates the amendment and who pays for the cost of doing the processing of it. He stated Mr. DeBerard
would like for the City to do this.
Mayor Alexander felt the City made the error to begin with and that it should have been taken care of before
now. He felt the designation should be changed to up to 15 acres.
MOTION: Moved by Biane, seconded by Gutierrez to direct staff to process an amendment for the Industrial
Area Specific Plan Subarea 16 up to 15 acres (alternative 2A). Motion carded unanimously 5-0.

c. The following text changes, bold indicating additions and strikeout indicating
deletions, shall be made to Section IV, Subarea 16, Special Considerations:
"A revised conceptual Master Plan (revises the master plan of Development
Review File Number 82-16) which outlines access, circulation, drainage and timing
of improvements is required prior to approval of development plans. All new
development must be consistent with this Master Plan, or the appropriate revisions
approved. Neighborhood Commercial uses (listed as "permitted or "conditionally
permitted" in the Development Code) may only be considered within a ¢rve 15-acre
area at or near the southwest corner of Archibald Avenue and Sixth Street subject
to approval of a master plan for those uses within a larger industrial park project.
In the event of a conflict between whether a use is permitted of conditionally
permitted, the Industrial Park requirement applies. It is not the intent to allow
neighborhood commercial uses to be scattered through out an industrial project nor
to permit such uses within any existing complex designed solely for industrial
uses."
d. In addition to the above, any applicable maps, tables, charts, and text to provide
consistency with the above changes.

Re:
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 15798 -
FRIEDMAN
Dear Members of the Planning Commission:
I am a resident of the tract of homes contiguous with the proposed development, and
would like to address my concerns regarding the impact the project will have upon the
residents. I understand that a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been submitted for
approval as required by 'the California Enviro'r~nental Quality Act (CEQA). This
Mitigated Negative Declaration simply states that the Negative Declaration prepared for
the project identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but that these
effects have been mitigated to the point that no significant effect on the environment
would occur.
However, this negative declaration cannot be certified under the CEQA if substantial
evidence in the record supports a fair argument that significant impacts or effects
may occur. Quail Botanical Gardens v. City of Encinitas (App. 4 Dist. 1994) 35
Cal. Rptr.2d 470.
I submit that before this project is approved, an Environment Impact Report must
be prepared based upon the substantial evidence that the proposed project might
have a significant environmental impact on the residents in the contiguous tract. If
there is substantial evidence that the proposed project might have a significant
environmental impact, evidence to the contrary is not sufficient to support a decision to
dispense with preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and adopt a Mitigated
Negative Declaration; therefore if a trial court were to perceive substantial evidence that
the project might have such an impact, but this agency failed to secure preparation of the
Page 2 - Environmental Assessment Tract 15798
Gina Kershaw
required Environmental Impact Report, the agency's action would be set aside because the
agency abused its discretion by fa'fling to proceed in the manner required by law. Friends
of B St. v. City of Hayward (App. 1 Dist. 1980) 165 Cal. Rptr. 514.
In determining whether this project might cause significant adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly, I have utilized the Guidelines for Implementation of
the CEQA (Barclays Official California Code of Regulations - Chapter 3). Under Section
15064, the lead agency shall consider both primary or direct, and secondary or indirect
consequences.
The primary consequences immediately related to the project include:
Heavy traffic. Traffic along Smokestone Street, Brownstone Street, and Catalpa
would significantly increase and adversely affect the residents living there, since the
opening at Catalpa and East Ave. would be the only way of ingress and egress for 153
homes (including 108 in the current tract, and the 45 proposed homes). At an average
of two cars per household, over three hundred vehicles could be attempting to use the
narrow access at East Ave at least twice a day.
Fire Safety. There have been several fires in this area in the past five years, and most
have required evacuation of families. Even though access will be given along Highland
for emergency vehicles, if a fire were to approach from the north of these homes,
access to evacuate through the north sides of both tracts would be infeasible. This
would leave the only way out through the primary access opening at East Avenue.
This could have potentially disastrous and deadly effects.
Freeway congestion/accidents. In the event that Route 30 were to be congested or
closed, there is a concern that motorists might use Smokestone Street as a side street
to get around the freeway obstacle. The Tentative Tract indicates that Smokestone
Street might again be extended to accommodate this exact problem. This situation
would result in substantially increased traffic, speed problems, excessive exhaust,
noise, and possibly the loss of on street parking. All these problems could "fairly
argue" that significant adverse impacts on the human beings in the tract might result.
Page 3 - Environmental Assessment Tract 15798
Gina Kershaw
Secondary consequences resulting from the project would also have potentially si~ificant
adverse effects on the residents in the Citation tract. These include:
Grave concerns for children's safety.
· Increased traffic exhaust, increased speeds of cars traveling along Smokestone St., and
noise
· Greater potential for traffic collisions within the tract and at the access opening at East
Avenue. (This is especially true due to the close proximity of Summit Junior High,
Etiwanda Intermediate, and Etiwanda High School.)
Increased demands on time given the increased traffic accessing and leaving the tract.
Health problems resulting from increased dust and exhaust.
Lowered property values
Potentially disastrous situations in case of fire.
In considering these adverse effects, the lead agency shall consider the views held by
members of the public in all areas affected. If there is serious public controversy over
the environmental effects of a project, the lead agency shall consider the effects
subject to the controversy to be significant, and shall prepare an Environmental
Impact Report. (Guidelines, Section 15064, subd. (h)(1)).
I suggest that this Planning Commission has been presented with a "fair argument" that the
proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Resolution
presented to you this evening by Brad Buller, City Planner, states in section (4) that "the
Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect upon the environment." Unfortunately, this is not the standard by which
it can be determined whether an Environmental Impact Report must be ordered under the
CEQA. The adopted standard indicated in the California Public Resources Code §
21082.2 (d) is if a proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, then
an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. Therefore, the Planning Commission

is required under the California Environmental Quality Act to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report before the project can commence further.

Environmental Assessment and
Tentative Tract 15798 - Friedman
Dear Planning Commission:
The mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for Tentative Tract 15798 - Friedman
is hereby challenged and apposed on the following conditions:
LAND USE AND PLANNING:
The proposal conflicts with applicable environmental plans and/or policies adopted by
agencies as it relates to the proposed Highway 30 plan and San Savine Flood Control
Plan. The San Savine Flood Control project is still under design and construction and the
proposed project does not adequately address all issues as it relates to the flood control plan.
The traffic patterns as proposed as part of the subdivision map would significantly disrupt
and divide the physical arrangement of the established Citation Home community (See
proposed Tract Map). The proposed Smokestone extension would create a 10-fold increase
in traffic for the Smokestone residents thus dividing and disrupting the physical
arrangements of the homes.
POPULATION AND HOUSING:
Through the proposed extension of Smokestone Street east to Mulberry and potentially
beyond, the extension would substantially induce growth both directly and indirectly in
surrounding undeveloped areas. Currently, there is no east - west road and the only access
is off of Highland Avenue. The proposed development includes provisions to extend
Smokestone Street east through the development to additional undeveloped land. This would
provide the impetus for further development thus substantially increasing growth.
GEOLOGICAL PROBLEMS:
Erosion, changes in topography and unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading
and fill will substantially alter water run off patterns, as well as the suitableness of the
soil. Additional concerns have not been addressed as to how to mitigate the effects of
wind as it relates to grading and excavating on the Citation Homes community.
WATER:
lZ
The proposed tract would significantly impact water absorption rates, drainage pattems and
the rate of surface water run off. The mitigated reply relies entirely too much on the design
and construction of the 30 freeway and surface road (Highland Avenue). Additionally, the
preliminary report (Webb, March 24, 1977) does not adequately address the issues and
effects the proposed development will have on the Victoria Basin, the flood channel or to a
possible breakout of the Etiwanda Spreading Grounds levee.
AIR QUALITY:
The proposed project violates air quality standards by increasing the number of drivers in
the area and therefor increasing the amount of pollutants that will be emitted in the air.
The proposal does not identify the impact the development will have on existing landfills
or sewers.
TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION:
The proposal results in a significant impact on vehicle trips and traffic congestion as it relates
to the entire Citation Homes Community. Mitigated comments does not accurately discuss
or resolve issues as it relates to traffic congestion on Smokestone Avenue, Brownstone
Place, Catalpa Avenue or East Avenue. Neither do the comments discuss speed bumps,
signage or crosswalks.
Extreme safety hazards exist due to increase vehicle traffic that would result from this
development and current residents backing their vehicles out of their garages onto
Smokestone Street. Additionally, with 25 to 30 foot set backs there is a significant concern
with children playing in the streets and front lawns.
Extreme hazards will result once the construction of the Smokestone Bridge is complete as
it relates to pedestrian traffic, animals and children.
The Proposal does not adequately provide access to alternative modes of transportation by
providing Bus Tumouts, Bus Stops or Bicycle paths.
o
The proposal does not adequately look at all alternative transportation routes such as
extending Mulberry south to Victoria or utilizing a "U" shape off of Highland Avenue.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:
The proposal does not address the effect the development will have on the Brown Spotted
Owls or Wooly Star Flower.
The replacement of existing 75 foot Eucalyptus trees with smaller, thinner eight foot trees
is unacceptable. The trees have been designated locally for protection.
1. The proposal exposes people to flood risk and flood related hazards.
Exposes people to potential fire hazards due to surrounding topography, brush, grass and
trees.
NOISE:
The proposal exposes people to severe noise levels as presented by the I-15 Freeway and
Route 30 Interchange. The noise study conducted cannot and does not adequately address
noise levels based on potential use and future use of these freeways. The construction of a
13.5 foot high sound wall to the north will not adequately reduce freeway noise to the north
and will have no effect on freeway noise to the. east or south.
PUBLIC SERVICES:
1, The proposal absolutely impacts the following services:
Fire
Police
Schools
Maintenance of public facilities, including roads
Parks
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS:
The proposal significantly impacts existing storm drains and flood control systems. The
proposal does not adequately address issues as it relates to a possible breakout of the
Etiwanda Spreading Grounds Levee.
AESTHETICS:
The removal of'the existing trees and replacement with smaller, thinner trees will have a
major impact on the amount of light that will shine on the Citation Homes in the north-east
portion of the complex.
Additional street lights, as required, will have a negative impact on existing houses in the
proximity of the development to include Citation Homes.
RECREATION:
1. The addition of the homes would impact existing parks and recreational facilities in the area.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE:
P6tential to degrade:
The proposal will remove a number of large, aged, Eucalyptus Trees which represent important
examples of the major agriculture and fruit growing period in the Inland Empire and in California.
Cumulative:
The project has a considerable cumulative effect on the Citation Homes complex when viewed in
connection with the effects of past projects (Highland Avenue and I-15 Freeway), current projects
(Highway 30), future projects (Highland Avenue, this tract and surrounding tracts around the
Citation Homes Complex).
Please respond to all of these concerns and open a dia16gue with the existing residents. Together,
I am sure we can reach a solution.
Sincerely,
Sean Rogan
13495 Smokestone Street
Petition
We the undersigned homeowners effected by the proposed tract 15798 are not satisfied with the Environmental
Assessment conducted by Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission finding Negative Declaration of environmental
impacts.
We petition for a hearing with the Planning Commission, CaI-Trans representative and the City Council which will
fully disclose any and all plans to; a) make Smokestone a through street through Citation Homes and across East Avenue,
connecting behind Catalpa; b) plans to divert traffic off of Highland when the 30 Freeway is constructed and; c) any further
traffic flow diversions planned as a result of the competed 30 Freeway, all of which impact our homes. We request this
meeting to be able to make fully informed decisions and suggest alternatives where possible.
We also request this petition be made a matter of record in regard to Tentative Tract 15798 and the Environmental
Assessment conducted thereto.
We intend to be present and pa~cipate in the public hearing regarding this matter on May 28, 1997.

State court says contracting by Caltrans is illegal
supreme court's decision carries far-reaching implications for most state agencies
Private contractors working with Caltrans
lost out last week when California's Su-
preme Court ruled 5-2 that contracts for
millions of dollars in survey and design work
were issued illegally by the agency. The
decision specifically referred to Caltrans
contracts, but observers say it carries far-
reaching implications for private contracts
and outside consultants used by dozens of
government agencies.
The suit took more than a decade to
reach this decision. Caltrans' engineers chal-
lenged the agency's contracts in an effort
to protect their jobs. Loren McMaster,
attorney for the engineers, said the Su-
preme court accepted her clients' point of
view across the board. 'it doesn't get any
better than this,' she said following the
couFCs announcement of its decision.
Governor Wilson bemoaned the deci-
sien. saying it would surely delay road
projects. He asked the Legislature to ap-
prove a constitutional amendment allowing
Caltrans Director James van Loben Sels reports
that no existing contracts are affected by the
ruling, but that some $80 million in outside
contracts that would have been issued in the
next fiscal year are now shelved.
the state to pursue private contracts so
that road work and other time-sensitive,
priority projects can be performed quickly.
The engineers have already qualified a bal-
lot measure that would restrict such con-
tracts, so the next statewide ballot may
contain competing measures.
Caltrans Director James van Loben Sels
reports that no existing contracts are af-
fected by the ruling, but that some $80
million in outside contracts that would have
been issued in the next fiscal year are now
shelved. He explained that delays will likely
result in the near future because Caltrans
cannot possibly expand its staffing and
resources fast enough to keep pace with its
schedule.
In the court's ruling, Justice Ming Chin
wrote that Caltrans was 'maintaining staff
at an inadequate level to create an artificial
need for private contracting.' The decision
allows state agencies to use private con-
tracts only in specific instances, including
emergencies, staff shortages or situations
in which an agency's own civil service staff
lacks necessary expertise.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTAND TENTATIVE TRACT 15798 - FRIEDMAN -
A request to subdivide 19.26 acres of land into 45 lots for the purpose of single
family home construction in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre)
of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located west of the 1-15 Freeway and south of
Highland Avenue - APN: 227-071-32.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Project Density: 2.3 lots per acre
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Highland Avenue (future Route 30 Freeway) and vacant land; Very Low Residential
(less than 2 dwelling units per acre)
South - County Flood Control basin; Open Space
East - Single family homes, a nursery, vacant land, and the 1-15 Freeway; Low
Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre)
West Single family homes (Tract 13063) and City drainage channel; Low Residential (2-4
dwelling units per acre)
General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Low Residential
North Very Low Residential
South Flood Control
East Low Residential
West Flood Control and Low Residential
Site Characteristics: The 19.26 acre site is vacant and slopes gently from north to south at
approximately 2 to 3 percent. The site is directly east of an existing single family tract
developed by Citation Homes. Highland Avenue is proposed to be realigned along the project
frontage to accommodate the Route 30 Freeway on the north side of Highland Avenue. The
site contains several large Eucalyptus trees which appear to be remnant windrows.

Applicable Regulations: The project is subject to the Low Residential standards of the
Etiwanda Specific Plan which require a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and an
average minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet.
ANALYSIS:
Ao
General: The project is proposed to have 45 lots ranging in size from 10,506 square feet to
32,643 square feet with an average lot size of 15,049 square feet, consistent with Etiwanda
Specific Plan standards. The site will take access from Highland Avenue to the north and an
extension of Smokestone Street at the southwest corner of the site. During construction of
the Route 30 Freeway, Caltrans will limit Highland Avenue to emergency-only traffic. Upon
completion of Route 30, Caltrans will relinquish the Highland Avenue right-of-way to the City.
At that time, the City will construct Highland Avenue to connect the site to East Avenue and
provide secondary access. If the tract is completed before Caltrans finishes construction of
the Route 30 Freeway, residents within the tract would use Smokestone Street through the
adjacent existing tract to the west for primary ingress and egress to East Avenue. While this
may cause some inconvenience for residents within the existing tract, secondary emergency
access will be provided along the Highland Avenue alignment.
Design Review Committee: The Committee (Bethel and Coleman) reviewed the project on
May 6, 1997, and recommended approval subject to a few minor revisions which the
applicant agreed to. See attached Exhibit "E" - Design Review Committee Action.
Technical and Grading Review Committees: The project was reviewed by both Committees
and, together with the recommended conditions of approval, determined to be in conformance
with the applicable standards and ordinances.
Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on May 5, 1997. The
21 residents that attended live within Tract 13063, directly adjacent to the western portion of
the site. The residents expressed concern about the extension of Smokestone Street to
service the tract, construction traffic through their tract, dust control during grading given high
winds in the Etiwanda Area, use of the Highland Avenue alignment as emergency-only
access during Route 30 Freeway construction as required by Caltrans, and what the future
home size and cost will be.
The existing terminus of Smokestone Street is improved as a stubbed street for future
extension, not a culode-sac bulb. While the residents have become comfortable with
Smokestone Street as a dead-end street, it was installed with the intent of future extension.
A condition of approval will require the developer to submit a construction access plan and
schedule for development of all lots for City Planner and City Engineer approval. The plan
will include public notice requirements, special street posting, phone listing for community
concerns, hours of construction activity, dust control measures, and security fencing. The
Building and Safety Division requires dust control measures prior to grading permit approval.
The Engineering and Building and Safety/Fire Divisions consider the potential interim
emergency-only access route along the existing Highland Avenue alignment during

construction of the Route 30 Freeway acceptable. The developer indicated that the type of
homes constructed within the tract would most likely be similar in size and cost to the existing
homes within Tract 13063.
Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed by the applicant.
Staff completed Part II of the Initial Study, the Environmental Checklist. In completing the
checklist staff identified potential environmental impacts as follows:
The site is subject to excessive future noise levels associated with the Route 30
Freeway. A noise study was conducted which recommended a 13.5-foot high sound
wall or combination berm/wall along the northern edge of the site in order to reduce on-
site noise levels to an acceptable level. The applicant's Grading Plan includes such a
berm/wall combination.
The site is located in an "undetermined but possible flood hazard area" per the Federal
Insurance Rate Map. A Drainage Report was conducted which identified quantities of
water that may drain to the site and methods for handling the flows.
Highland Avenue is planned by Caltrans to be replaced with an emergency-only access
route in association with the Route 30 Freewey construction. This would eliminate full
secondary access for the proposed tract. The project includes reconstruction of
Highland Avenue from East Avenue through the frontage of the subject site after
completion of the freeway. Also, signalization and line-of-sight corrections at the future
Highland Avenue/East Avenue are necessary to mitigate potential traffic conflicts.
An Arborists Report was conducted and found that none of the trees are worthy of
preservation. The Etiwanda Specific Plan allows removal of Eucalyptus windrows with
replacement planting with minimum 5-gallon Spotted Gum Eucalyptus trees.
The above identified potential impacts require mitigation measures as conditions of approval,
which have been included in the attached Resolution; therefore, staff recommends issuance
of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
FACTS FOR FINDING: The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Etiwanda Specific
Plan. The project, with the added mitigation measures, will not be detrimental to the public health
or safety or cause nuisances or significant adverse environmental impacts. The project, together
with the conditions of approval, is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Etiwanda
Specific Plan and City standards.
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 as well as all property owners between the site and East
Avenue (Tract 13063). A neighborhood meeting was conducted by the applicant.

on an attached sheet have been added to the- ~)roject, or agreed to, by the applicant. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
()
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
()
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at
least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based upon
the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant
Impact" or "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
()
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects
1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

The absorption rate will be altered because of the paving and hardscape proposed.
All waters will be conveyed to approved drainage facilities which have been
designed to handle the flows.
The site is located in a Flood Zone 'D" ~lesignation, undetermined but possibly a
flood hazard, on the Federal Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The Preliminary Drainage
Report (VVebb, March 24,1997) addressed the project drainage assuming that the
Route 30 Freeway would be constructed prior to development of this tract. After
freeway construction, approximately 2.3 acres will continue to drain to the subject
property. Drainage will be conveyed in a 24-inch pipe to Mulberry Street and will be
carried overland in the street to the south. This drainage will be collected by catch
basins and will be conveyed in pipes to the existing Victoria Basin immediately
south of the tract. If the tract development precedes the freeway construction,
further drainage studies will be necessary to mitigate any potential flood hazard due
to a possible breakout of the Etiwanda Spreading Grounds levee. The final drainage
report should be approved prior to final map approval.

Highland Avenue is planned by Caltrans to be replaced with an emergency-only
access route in association with the Route 30 Freeway construction. This would
eliminate full secondary access for the proposed tract. The project includes
reconstruction of Highland Avenue from East Avenue through the entire frontage
of the site after completion of the Route 30 Freeway. Signalization and line-of-sight
corrections at the Highland Avenue/East Avenue intersection are necessary to
mitigate potential traffic conflicts.

Comments:

The site is located in a Flood Zone 'D' designation, undetermined but possibly a
flood hazard, on the Federal Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The Preliminary Drainage
Report (VVebb, March 24,1997) addressed the project drainage assuming that the
Route 30 Freeway would be constructed prior to development of this tract. After
freeway construction, approximately 2.3 acres will continue to drain to the subject
property. Drainage will be conveyed in a 24-inch pipe to Mulberry Street and will be
carried overland in the street to the south. This drainage will be collected by catch
basins and will be conveyed in pipes to the existing Victoria Basin immediately
south of the tract. If the tract development precedes the freeway construction,
further drainage studies will be necessary to mitigate any potential flood hazard due
to a possible breakout of the Etiwanda Spreading Grounds levee. The final drainage
report should be approved prior to final map approval.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
8:15 p.m. Brent Le Count May 6, 1997
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 15798 - FRIEDMAN - A request
to subdivide 19.26 acres of land into 45 lots for the purpose of single family home construction in
the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located west
of the I-15 Freeway and south of Highland Avenue - APN: 227-071-32.
Design Parameters: The 19.26-acre site is currently vacant and slopes gently from north to south
at .approximately 2 to 3 percent. The site is surrounded by a drainage channel and single family
homes in Tract 13063 to the west; a County Flood Control basin to the south; single family homes,
a nursery, vacant land, and the I-15 Freeway to the east; and Highland Avenue and vacant land to
the north. Highland Avenue is proposed to be realigned along the project frontage to accommodate
the Route 30 Freeway on the north side of Highland. A 13.5-foot high sound wall or combination
sound wall and berm is necessary along the northern project perimeter to reduce on-site freeway
noise to acceptable levels.
The.pr. oject is subject to the Low Residential standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which require
a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and an average minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet.
The site contains several large Eucalyptus trees which appear to be remnant windrows. The
Etiwanda Specific Plan allows windrows to be removed subject to replacement. An Arborist Study
for the trees indicates that none of the trees are worthy of preservation.
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:
1. Staff feels there are no major design issues associated with this project.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Make corner lots (Lots 14, 15, 30, and 31) wider to provide opportunities for greater
setbacks from Mulberry Street.
2. The sound wall along Highland Avenue shall be designed to match the appearance of the
existing walls to the west along Highland Avenue which are associated with Tract 13063.
3. Provide more gradual, variable slopes for lot side of noise berm within Lots 39 thxough 45
to allow greater utility of rear yards.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
Existing on-site Eucalyptus windrows shall be replaced with 5-gallon minimum Spotted
Gum Eucalyptus trees planted 8 feet on center in accordance with Etiwanda Specific Plan
Sections 5.41.400 and 500.
2. Revise Lot 6 to respect the 100-foot minimum lot depth.

Four of the eight existing properties on the east side of Mulberry Street
have dedicated their half of the right-of-way (30 feet). The proposed
project developer shall contact the other four to see if they will also
dedicate 30 feet, so that development can construct Mulberry Street full
width; or, if Caltrans has obtained the 36 feet of right-of-way as shown
on the tentative map, then this project shall dedicate the remaining
right-of-way for a 30-foot half street and construct Mulberry Street full
width, with the exception of the easterly parkway improvements, which
will be deferred until construction or reconstruction of the adjacent
parcel. Otherwise, the proposed project developer will be required to
provide 40 feet (rather than 30 feet), minimum half street width plus 10
feet on-site.
The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications and electrical,
except for the 66 kV electrical) along the entire frontage of Highland
Avenue (northerly portion of the tentative tract) and entire frontage of
Mulberry Street (easterly portion of the tentative tract) shall be
undergrounded from the first pole off-site, prior to public improvement
acceptance or occupancy, whichever occurs first. All services crossing
shall be undergrounded at the same time. The developer may request
a reimbursement agreement to recover one-half the City adopted cost
for undergrounding from future development (redevelopment) as it
occurs on the opposite side of the .Mulberry Street. If the developer
fails to submit for said reimbursement agreement within six months of
the public improvements being accepted by the City, all rights of the
developer to reimbursement shall terminate.
The existing improvements for the drainage channel located along the
westerly boundary of the proposed tentative tract, as shown on City
Improvement Drawing 1209-D, shall be modified as needed in
conjunction with the proposed tentative tract improvements. This
includes the removal, relocation, and/or replacement of the existing
fencing and any grading/drainage improvements made necessary by
the proposed grading and perimeter wails for the tentative tract. City
Improvement Drawing 1209-D shall be revised pursuant to the above.
All public improvements, either adjacent or off-site, require plan
approval by the City Engineer and security to be posted with an
agreement executed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the
City Attorney guaranteeing completion of the public improvements, prior
to final map approval.
Street names shall be applied for through the Planning Division and
shall be accepted and added to the final map prior to approval and
recordation thereof.
Wdtten verification shall be obtained from Caltrans regarding the right-
of-way for existing Highland Avenue and the proposed right-of-way
associated with the Route 30 Freeway, prior to approval of the final
map.

Environmental Mitigation Measures
1)
The preliminary Drainage Study Report addressed the drainage as
though the Route 30 Freeway improvements are existing. If the
tentative tract should proceed to the final map stage and the Route 30
Freeway construction stalls or never begins, then the drainage study
shall be amended addressing the drainage without said freeway and
improvements required to mitigate any potential flood hazard. The
report, whether amended or not, shall be finalized pursuant to the
cdteda outlined in the City's "Drainage Report Requirements" handout.
The final report shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to final
map approval.
2)
A full street connection at the intersection of East Avenue and Highland
Avenue is required, including traffic signal improvements (new or
upgrades) and line-of-sight corrections, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer. With the construction of the Route 30 Freeway, Caltrans is
proposing to close the Highland Avenue access at East Avenue
including the removal of the traffic signal and provide for emergency
access only. This development is responsible to restore and/or
upgrade said access. However, if this development goes before
Caltrans Route 30 improvements, a cash deposit in lieu of construction
will be required and necessary temp.o~ary improvements constructed,
as determined by the City Engineer and Caltrans.
3)
Existing on-site Eucalyptus windrows shall be replaced with minimum
5-gallon Spotted Gum Eucalyptus trees planted 8 feet on center in
accordance with Etiwanda Specific Plan Sections 5.41.400 and .500.
4)
Provide a 13.5-foot high noise barder along the rear (north side) of Lots
39 through 45 wrapping around the sides of Lots 39 and 45 consistent
with recommendations of the Noise Study for project dated March 28,
1997. Noise barrier walls shall match the appearance of the existing
wall to the west along Highland Avenue associated with Tract 13063.
