DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:30 p.m. Sal Salazar July 6, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-31 - ARCHEION (CENTER BUSINESS PARK) - A request to
construct two industrial buildings 45,600 square feet and 47,700 square feet in size, respectively.
The site is approximately 5.23 acres in size and is located in the General Industrial District
(Subarea 5) of the industrial Area Specific Plan. The property is located at the northeast corner
of 7th and Center Streets - APN: 209-251-10.
Design Parameters: The site is currently vacant and is relatively flat with a gentle north to south
slope. The developer is proposing to construct two spec buildings for warehouse and incidental
office use. Access to the site will be provided via two driveways along 7th Street (including one
emergency access driveway adjacent to the railroad tracks), and two driveways along Center
Street. The northern most driveway along Center street is a shared driveway.
The two industrial buildings,as proposed,will be separated into two four separate building sections
(Buildings A, B, C, and D). The main entrance to each building section is accentuated by a
combination of landscaping, smooth, and colored concrete. The buildings are well designed,
however, the design could still be improved by the incorporating staff's recommendations.
At the time the report was being prepared, staff informed the developer of all the design issues.
The developer indicated that a revised plan, addressing all of the discussed design issues, would
be submitted before the Design Review Committee meeting.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. Architecture: Planning Commission policy requires too primary exterior materials. The
amount of sandblasted concrete is token and doesn't meet the policy intent. The majority
of office portions of both buildings should be sandblasted concrete to create a stronger
architectural statement.
2. Building Elevations. The developer shall enhance the building elevations by connecting the
fake sandblasted concrete columns with a wrapped around sandblasted band on the upper
portion of the buildings.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Landscaping adjacent to the buildings. The developer shall provide a landscape planter
along the north side of Buildings A and B. The landscape planter shall be of sufficient width
to permit the planting of landscaping. Additionally, the developer shall be required to
increase the width of the landscape planter on the south side of Buildings C and D. The
landscape planter shall be increase in width from 5.5 feet to 7.5 feet.
2. Main entry. The developer shall be required to provide special landscape(specimen trees,
accent trees, etc)treatment at the main entry points. Additionally, all landscape fingers at
the main entry shall have a minimum width of 10 feet.
3. Stamped Concrete at main entry. The developer shall be required to install stamped
concrete at the entrance of all driveways. This includes the shared driveway along Center
Street. Additionally, the stamped concrete area shall have a minimum depth of 20 feet.

4. Shared driveway. The developer shall be required to protect the building on the north side
of the shared driveway with a sidewalk or a landscape planter. The submitted plans do not
show the building on the north side. The developer, however, will provide revised plans
before the Design Review Committee meeting, that should address this issue.
5. Proposed retaining wall. If a retaining wall is needed on the east side of buildings C and
D it shall be decorative and shall compliment the architecture and style of the industrial
buildings. The height of the retaining wall shall comply with the City's Development
Standards.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the project be revised and return to Design Review Committee, prior to
scheduling for Planning Commission.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Sal Salazar
The Committee recommended the developer to address all issues before rescheduling this item
for Design Review Committee. Additionally, the Committee recommended developer to provide
additional architecturally movement on all elevations especially at the fake column location.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS "
6:00 p.m. Debra Meier July 6, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-26 - STELZNER - The design review of detailed site development
plans and building elevations for a single family residence on Lot 73 of Tract 12322-2 in the Very
Low Residential District, located at 5175 Paddock Place - APN: 1074-561-17.
Abstract: Development Review 99-26 is the development of one single family residence located
in the Haven View Estates development. This entire portion of Tract 12322-2 was previously rough
graded,and all interior streets, sidewalks, and equestrian trails have been constructed. The rough
graded cross slope of lot 73 is approximately 6 percent;however,the natural grade of the site,prior
to rough grading, exceeded 8 percent. Therefore, the development of all lots within the Tract are
subject to the Hillside Development District regulations. In addition, because the total amount of
earth to be moved (1,360 CY cut, and 1,290 CY fill) exceeds 1,500 CY, as currently proposed,the
residence will also require approval by the Planning Commission (Development Code Section
17.24.020.B.3).
Design Parameters: The proposed residence fits within the building envelope, as illustrated on
page A4 of the building plan set. Maximum overall height of the building (excluding the fire place
is 30 feet - 0 inches from the finished grade.
The residence is designed with equal architectural treatment on all sides of the building. Building
setbacks are adequate as proposed-54-foot minimum front setback(from curb face), 13-foot side
yard setback on the north and 18-foot side yard setback on the south; and finally a rear yard
setback of approximately 90 feet. A local equestrian trail(15-foot width) parallels the rear property
line, along with an additional 7-foot private drainage easement. The lot generally drains to the
south and rear, with drainage collecting in the private drainage easement at the rear of the lot.
Staff Comments: The beautifully designed Badiola residence is compatible with the quality of the
neighborhood,as illustrated by the material sample board provided by the architect(to be displayed
at the meeting). The dwelling is smooth hand-troweled plaster finish with concrete "S"tile roofing.
The lots within, Haven View Estates are typically sold for custom residences such as the one
proposed by the Badiola's, and several residences are under-construction throughout the Tract at
this time. The design of residences throughout the Tract vary in architectural style, building
materials and colors.
The design of the residence appears to be artificially filled more than is necessary at the front entry.
Dropping the finish floor at the entry to 65.50 and to 64.50 in the rear, would eliminate additional
artificial fill. In addition, the elevation of the satellite patio should also be lowered to eliminate
excessive sloping at the rear of the lot, and would allow access to the local equestrian trail.
The result of this grading modification could result in reducing the overall amount of cut and fill,
which would then eliminate the need to Planning Commission action.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval as proposed.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Pam Stewart, John Mannerino, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
The Committee recommended approval of the architectural design of the proposed house only.
The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff in resolving all grading issues to be in
compliance with the Hillside Development Regulations.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:00 p.m. Rebecca Van Buren July 6, 1999
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-30, AND DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW 99-08 - PACIFIC COMMUNITIES - The review of the detailed site plan and building
elevations for Phases 1 and 2 of previously approved Tentative Tract 15711 consisting of
191 single family lots on 45.3 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling
units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, generally located north of Foothill Boulevard, east
of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Interstate 15 freeway, and west of East Avenue - APN: 1100-
141-01 & 02, 1100-171-01 & 13, 1100-181-01.
Background: In 1996, the City amended the Etiwanda Specific Plan to create the Etiwanda South
Overlay District for the area south of the 1-15 Freeway. This allowed smaller lots in this area, but
retained the architectural and design guidelines of the Etiwanda Plan. In August of 1996, the
Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 15711 (Diversified Pacific), the first subdivision
since the Overlay District was created. Although several charming,craftsman-style elevations were
presented to show how smaller lots may comply with design guidelines, the Tentative Map itself
did not include house products (subdivision-only). Pacific Communities recently acquired the
property from Diversified Pacific, and is now proposing house products.
Design Parameters: Phases 1 and 2 contain 191 of the 283 lots in the Tentative Tract. The site
area is south of Miller Street, between Etiwanda and East Avenues. Pacific Communities is
proposing two product lines,consisting of 11 floor plans with over 40 elevations. The houses range
from 1587 to 3146 square feet. Most corner lots have single story units.
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. Parkway versus curb-adjacent sidewalks: The Tentative Map was approved with parkway
sidewalks (i.e., a landscape strip between curb and sidewalk). The developer is proposing
curb-adjacent sidewalks in some areas to minimize City-maintained landscape areas and
to address grading/drainage issues. Staff does not support curb adjacent sidewalk.
2. Review the Etiwanda Avenue street scene: Even though lots do not take access from
Etiwanda Avenue, elevations which are visible from Etiwanda Avenue should be treated
with as much creative massing and architectural detail as front elevations.
3. Review proposed architecture: Pacific Communities has made a significant effort to reflect
traditional styles; however, additional enhancement may be needed on Product One:
Plan 1: Early California
Plan 2: California Bungalow
And on Product Two:
Plan 1: all four styles
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Along Etiwanda Avenue, solid walls enclosing rear yards should use field stone as a major
design element, and open fencing should be used in front yards if fencing is needed.

2. Review location of replacement windrows.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project with revisions noted above.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Pam Stewart, Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner: Rebecca Van Buren
The Committee concurred with staff that the sidewalk location will be discussed by the Planning
Commission in conjunction with the time extension request for the Tentative Tract Map. The
Committee raised concerns that the side-on elevations and proposed street scene along Etiwanda
Avenue do not meet the spirit and intent of the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District.
At the meeting, the applicant proposed to address the Committee's concern with adding porches
and verandas on the Etiwanda elevations, revising privacy wall locations, adding decorative gates
with rock pilasters and arbors, and providing a low wrought iron fence in the setback.
The Committee recommended the following:
1. Revisions to the Etiwanda Avenue street scape design and building elevations be returned
for review on Consent Calendar at the next meeting.
2. The revised design of the house products are acceptable with the following improvements:
expand the stone work on porch columns on Product One-Plan 1,expand the stone work and
adding a decorative header over garage on Product One-Plan 2.
3. The location of the replacement windrows should be moved from Etiwanda Avenue to
elsewhere on-site.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-27- FU MAI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - A design review of building
elevations and detailed site plan for a previously approved Tentative Tract Map 15540 consisting of
159 single family lots on 24.56 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units
per acre) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and Development Code Areas located between
Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route,west of the Cucamonga Creek Control Channel-APN: 207-211-
01, 18 through 21, 31, 32 and 34. Related files: Variance 99-01, Tree Removal Application 93-04.
Background: When Tentative Map 15540 was approved by the Planning Commission on June 23,
1993, it was approved in conjunction with the Design Review of house products and Variance. The
Variance was approved for the reduction in the minimum side yard building separations from 15 to 8
feet, the minimum building to curb setback from 15 to 10 feet, and the minimum percentage of
common open space from 35 percent to approximately 10 percent. The approved Variance and the
approved design of house products are essential to and an integral part of the Tentative Map. A
request to extend the Tentative Map must include the Design Review and Variance. Unfortunately,
the approval for the Design Review and the Variance have lapsed while the Tentative Map was
extended to June 23, 1999. Therefore, the applicant agreed to submit a new Design Review,
Variance,and Tree Removal application for the project and agreed to continue the hearing for the time
extension request to the August 11, 1999, Planning Commission meeting.
Design Parameters: The narrow, long, basically rectangular site extends from Foothill Boulevard to
Arrow Route and is immediately west of the Cucamonga Creek Flood Control Channel. The Casa
Volante Mobile Home Park is directly west of the northerly two-thirds of the site. The site contains 222
mature trees, 69 of which are worthy of preservation, as recommended by the arborist. Two paseo
connections are planned on-site to connect the project to the future Regional Multiple Purpose Trail
along Cucamonga Creek. The proposed Foothill Boulevard vehicular access is proposed to be shared
with the mobile home park on-site, consistent with the access and median break location shown on
the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (the current mobile home park vehicular access will be
eliminated). The Arrow Route access lines up with the driveway for the apartments on the south side
of the street. The site generally slopes from north to south at slightly less than 3 percent.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
The applicant has resubmitted the same project as previously approved by the Commission on June
23, 1993. Staff has reviewed the development plans, compared it with the original ones and
determined that the conditions of approval placed by the Design Review Committee(Vallette, Melcher,
Coleman) on May 4, 1993, are still valid. They are as follows:
1. Plan 2 elevations should be modified to include stone/brick veneer against the back wall of
the porch, instead of false window/shutter elements, and wrap around corners to the side
return walls.
2. The chimney caps should be painted to match the chimney stack color.
3. Adequate lighting for the common open space areas should be provided to improve
functionality and safety,to the satisfaction of the Planning Division and Rancho Cucamonga
Police Department.
4. The design of the on-and off-site visitor parking areas should be reviewed and approved by
the Planning Division, prior to the issuance of building permits.

5. The curved planter walls, along the street scape frontages, should be extended further in
both directions, which will take on the appearance of walls gradually blending into the
undulating berming. The specific design should be reviewed and approved by the planning
Division, prior to the issuance of grading permits.
6. The units on Lots 34, 131, and 132 should be set back further from the recreational areas,
to the satisfaction of the Planning Division.
7. The final Grading Plan should be revised to indicate a lower combination block/retaining wall
and lower building pads for Lots 1 through 8.
8. Individual flag lot driveways should be "necked down"to a maximum width of 12 feet at the
driveway approach and include decorative pavement banding to the satisfaction of the
Planning Division.
9. Sectional roll-up garage doors and automatic garage door openers should be provided on
all models.
10. Retaining walls should be composed of decorative masonry materials and be limited to a
maximum height of 4 feet.
11. Decorative paving materials, such as interlocking concrete pavers, should be utilized at all
key pedestrian crossings, off-street visitor parking areas, common open space areas,
entrances to cul-de-sac streets, long driveways on flag lots, and at project entrances.
12. A minimum 5-foot wide landscape area should be provided between the corner side yard
walls and sidewalks along the spine street.
13. The visitor parking area outside the Foothill Boulevard entrance gate should be screened
from public view of the major arterial through the use of berming, dense landscaping, low
walls or any combination thereof, to the satisfaction of the Planning Division.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-10 - EVERGREEN
DEVCO, INC. (WALGREENS) - A request to construct and operate a drive-thru pharmacy, totaling
approximately 16,170 square feet in size, in the Neighborhood Commercial District on approximately
1.15 acres of land, located on the southeast corner of Carnelian and 19th Streets - APN: 202-541-
060. Related file: Preliminary Review 98-18.
Background: This project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on June 15, 1999. The
Committee members recommended the developer to modify the plan to address certain (landscaping
and pedestrian connection to the existing center) design issues. The design issues are listed below
in numerical order followed by an explanation indicating how those issues were addressed.
1. Provide a double column configuration under the drive-thru canopy consistent with the other
proposed columns.
The developer agreed to provide a double column design at the drive-thru canopy. The site
plan shows the revision.
2. Enhance the pedestrian connection to the existing center by increasing the width of the
covered arcade on the south side of the building by shifting the parking further south and
provide decorative pavement in the driveway aisle connection.
The submitted Site Plan shows this decorative connection.
3. Eliminate the walkway under the arcade on the west side of the building and provide
landscape planter.
The developer was not able to completely eliminate the walkway under this elevation due to
the fact that the pharmacy is required to provide a walkway adjacent to any parking lot area.
The developer, however, moved the landscape planter adjacent to the building and included
a landscape trellis on the wall to meet the intent (provide additional landscaping) of the
comment. Staff is in support of this revision.
4. Provide Landscape Conceptual Site Plan and cross-sections of the ultimate public
improvements of both street frontages. Landscaping needs to be designed to work as a
screen to the drive-thru lane at the time of full right of way development.
The developer submitted the revised cross-sections, along Carnelian and 19th Streets, that
show the ultimate right-of-way after improvements. The developer is planting additional
trees (approximately 20 feet on center) along 19th Street In order to ensure that the drive-
thru lane is completely screened from 19th Street. Additionally, staff is recommending that
the final Landscape Plan shall also include tall shrubs(6 feet in height) adjacent to the
retaining wall.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project.
