Item F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2009-00557— MERITAGE HOMES January 13, 2010 • Page 2 ANALYSIS: General: On February 22, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Development Review DRC2005-00986 for the development of 145 homes on a 52.54-acre site within the 632-unit Master Planned Community of Rancho Etiwanda Estates. Because of a shifting demand in the housing market, the applicant, Meritage Homes, came in and requested modifications of their previously approved building elevations and the Planning Commission approved a new Development Review DRC2008-00064 on May 28, 2008. That approval was for 55 of the 93 homes that were left to build in this development This request is for the remaining 38 homes to complete the build-out and. changing 14 of the homes in the last Development Review DRC2008-00064 approval, to the new plan that is being proposed (Plan 3154). The applicant is required to develop within substantial compliance with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP),! the architecture and design details of the Etiwanda area. Requirements include side-on garages, recessed garages, exterior siding, and specific architectural styles. A Development Agreement was approved in 2001, which required the Low Residential standards for all lots within this tract. The property was rough graded in June of 2004. The area was mass graded and infrastructure was installed. The master developer has installed the main access of the gated community, as well as the slope landscaping and decorative perimeter walls. These walls will be consistent throughout the entire Master Planned Community Design Parameters: The project site is located within the "Upper Etiwanda" neighborhood which • has its own unique architectural design guidelines per the ENSP. The ENSP requires that a mix of the following primary architectural styles be used for at least two-thirds of the units: Bungalow, Ranch, Monterey, or San Juan. Up to one-third of the units may use these styles: Country, Victorian, or Santa Barbara Revival. The proposed modifications are consistent with the required architectural styles and include the previously approved downsized floor plans with a new floor plan that is 450 square feet larger than the previously approved 2,704 square foot plan and still provides larger yard areas to meet the demand of the current housing market. The previously approved plans along with the new plans are a combination of one- and two-story homes and range' in size from 2,194 square feet to 3,154 square feet of livable area. A total of 6 (11.6 percent).of the proposed.house product will be single-story. The two-story plans have been designed with two floor plans and four architectural styles. The proposed architectural styles are San Juan, Santa Barbara Revival, Monterey, and Ranch. The San Juan elevation incorporates wrought iron details, receesed windows; decorative shutters, and arched patio/entryway. The Santa Barbara Revival incorporates built-up eaves, louvered shutters, and recessed windows. The Monterey style incorporates oversized rafter tails, brick veneer elements, hardboard. detailing, and recessed tile features. .The. Ranch style incorporates board and batt siding, louvered shutters, wood kickers, and louvered hardboard details. All four sides of all homes have articulation and incorporate decorative garage doors and optional chimneys to match the architectural style of the home. Each of the four plans feature covered porch entries which range in size dependent upon the style. The developer is proposing to construct the 52 homes as part of fourteen phases. • F-2 f PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2009-00557 — MERITAGE HOMES • • January 13, 2010 Page 3 • A. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly, and Nicholson) reviewed the elevations on December 15, 2009. The Committee recommended approval. B. Technical Review and Grading Committees: The Technical Review and Grading Committees reviewed the project on December 15, 2009, and recommended approval. • C. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors certified an Environmental Impact Report in June 1991, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was certified by the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors in October 1999, and an Initial Study Addendum was certified by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in connection with the approval of Tentative Tract Map 16227. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed the indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. • Staff has evaluated the development review application and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previously certified EIR. The proposed development does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the Tract Map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previously certified ER, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant. The project was developed with a Development Agreement for the 632-lot subdivision. The site plan, building elevations, and development conditions for the proposed project are included in the development agreement and are generally consistent with the Development Code and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of the development review application. • CORRESPONDENCE: No legal advertising was required for the relatively minor and subsequent change to this previously approved project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review DRC2009-00557 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval and Standard Conditions. • F-3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2009-00557— MERITAGE HOMES January 13, 2010 • Page 4 Respectfully submitted, R C Jame .

Staff has found the project to be within the scope of the project covered by a prior Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #88082915 and #98121091 certified by the City Council on August 1, 2001) and does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered,in that Environmental Impact Report. Background: On February 22, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Development Review DRC2005-00986 for the development of 145 homes on a 52.54-acre site within the 632-unit Master Planned Community of Rancho Etiwanda Estates. Because of a shifting demand in the housing market, the applicant, Meritage Homes, came in and requested modifications of their previously approved building elevations and the Planning Commission approved a new Development Review DRC2008-00064 on May 28, 2008. That approval was for 55 of the 93 homes that were left to build in this development. This request is for the remaining 38 homes to complete the build-out and changing 14 of the homes in the last Development Review DRC2008-00064 approval to the new plan that is being • proposed (Plan 3154). The applicant is required to develop within substantial compliance with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP), incorporating the architecture and design details of the Etiwanda area. Requirements include side-on garages, recessed garages, exterior siding, and specific architectural styles. A Development Agreement was approved in 2001 which required the Low Residential standards for all lots within this tract. The property was rough graded in June of 2004. The area was mass graded and the infrastructure was installed. The master developer has installed the main access of the gated community, as well as the slope landscaping and decorative perimeter walls. These walls will be consistent throughout the entire master planned community. The site is bordered by vacant land to the west; by single-family homes to the north, by Day Creek Boulevard to the south; and by a portion of Tract 16227, built by K. Hovnanian, to the east. Design Parameters: The project site is located within the "Upper Etiwanda" neighborhood which has its ownunique'afchitectural design guidelines per the ENSP. The ENSP requires that a mix of the following .' primary architectural styles be used for at least two-thirds of the units: Bungalow, Ranch, Monterey, or San Juan. Up to one-third of the units may use these styles: Country, Victorian, or Santa Barbara Revival. The proposed modifications are consistent with the required architectural styles and include the previously approved downsized floor plans with a new floor plan that is 450 square feet larger than the previously approved 2,704 square foot plan and still provides larger yard areas to meet the demand of the current housing market. The previously approved plans along with the new plans are a combination of one- and two-story homes and range in size from 2,194 square feet to 3,154 square feet of livable • area. A total of 6 (11.6 percent) of the proposed house product will be single-story. The two-story plans have been designed with two floor plans and four architectural styles. The proposed architectural styles F 26 • DRC ACTION AGENDA • DRC2009-00557 — MERITAGE HOMES • December 15, 2009 Page 2, are San Juan, Santa Barbara Revival, Monterey, and Ranch. The San Juan elevation incorporates wrought iron details, recessed windows, decorative shutters, and arched patio/entryway. The Santa Barbara Revival incorporates built-up eaves, louvered shutters, and recessed windows. The Monterey style incorporates oversized rafter tails, brick veneer elements, hardboard detailing, and recessed tile features. The Ranch style incorporates board and batt siding, louvered shutters, wood kickers, and louvered hardboard details. All four sides of all homes have articulation and incorporate decorative garage doors and optional chimneys to match the architectural style of the home. Each of the four plans feature covered porch entries which range in size dependent upon the style. The developer is proposing to construct the • 52 homes in fourteen phases. • Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.

Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Steve Fowler, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2009-00413 - STANTEC CONSULTING - COMERICA BANK - A request to construct a 3,982 square foot retail bank with a drive-thru at an existing retail center within the General Commercial District, located at 12035 Foothill Boulevard: APN: 0229-023-05. On January 24, 2007, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Parcel Map • SUBTPM17818. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope of a previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: • A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Multi-Tenant Commercial Center; Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 4), • Community Commercial South - Vacant Lot; Industrial Park (Subarea 7) East - Nursery and Southern California Edison Utility Corridor; Open Space West - Masi Plaza; Industrial Park (Subarea 7) B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - General Commercial North - Community Commercial South - General Commercial East - Flood control/Utility Corridor West - General Commercial C. Site Characteristics: The site is a puzzle shaped parcel that is part of an overall project that was L-shaped. The puzzle shaped parcel is a .76 acre pad at the far east portion of the Victoria Commons site at 12035 Foothill Boulevard. This site is on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Rochester Avenue and the Edison Utility Corridor in the General Commercial District. Currently, the current Victoria Commons project has one multi-tenant retail building constructed with four vacant pads, located along Foothill Boulevard. The two-story office building (WLC Architects) along Rochester Avenue has been completed and is occupied. At the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue is the Aggazzotti home, formerly a winery and designated Historic Point of Interest (not a part of the project). E. Parking Calculations: The project is parked per the parking criteria of the Development Code and the tabulation of the required parking spaces is as follows: • Item G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2009-00413 — STANTEC CONSULTING —COMERICA BANK January 13, 2010 Page 2 • • Number of Number of • Square Parking Spaces Spaces Type of Use Footage Ratio Required Provided Bank with drive-thru 3,982 1:250 16 16 • ANALYSIS: A. General: The Master-Planned project is known as Victoria Commons and was originally approved through DRC2005-01084 with its mix of office, retail, and restaurants. The project creates synergy consistent with the commercial/office corridor of Foothill Boulevard. The Victoria Commons project proposed a total of five commercial buildings fronting along Foothill Boulevard; the proposed Comerica Bank building will occupy the most easterly pad site. There is one main entrance off Rochester Avenue for the existing WLC professional office building (Building F), and two ingress/egress points are provided off Foothill Boulevard; the first is located just east of the Aggazzotti residence, and the second at the eastern property line. The eastern driveway from the Foothill Boulevard access is aligned with the new signalized median break that was constructed with the Victoria Promenade project.on the • north side of Foothill Boulevard (DRC2005-00365). The project proposes a 3,982 square foot commercial bank building at the far east portion of the Victoria Commons site. The exterior of the building will be enhanced with H.C. Muddox "Mountain Rose Brick" with an H.C. Muddox "Frosted Almond Brick" band around the entire • building, one brick wide, approximately 30-inches from finished grade. The building design also includes a tower element at the entrance of the bank. Columns covered with Culture Stone "Chardonnay Limestone" will be placed at the corners, as well as spaced evenly around the bank. The roof will be a light weight Saxony shake Monier Life tile "Charcoal Blend." B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Munoz, Stewart, and Nicholson) • reviewed the site, building elevations, materials, and Conceptual Landscaping Plans on October 6, 2009, and instructed the applicant to make a change in the roofing material from metal to light weight tile. On December 1, 2009, the applicant requested to change the color of the light weight tile to a charcoal brown slate. The Design Review Committee requested the applicant keep thd tile a charcoal grey shake as previously agreed upon. The applicant • agreed to keep the tile the same color and style. C. Grading Review Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the development portion of the project on October 6, 2009, and recommended approval. D. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on January 24, 2007, in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Parcel Map • G-2 • PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2009-00413 — STANTEC CONSULTING —COMERICA BANK • January 13, 2010 Page 3 • SUBTPM17818. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff has evaluated the Design Review Application (DRC2009-00413) and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original submittal considered impacts associated.with a commercial bank with a drive-thru and the current proposal is for a drive-thru bank. The current footprint for this commercial bank is smaller than the previously analyzed footprint of 4,500 square feet. Staff further finds • that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant. The original analysis took into consideration a larger bank and the new bank is smaller, thus creating less of an impact on the site. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff . • determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of the Design Review Application DRC2009-00413. CORRESPONDENCE: The property was posted with a large 4-foot by 8-foot sign. No additional advertising was required considering the prior project review. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Design Review DRC2009-00413 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions.

The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope of a previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a 3,982 square foot bank building with a drive thru ATM at 12035 Foothill Boulevard. This site is on the south side of Foothill Boulevard in the Industrial Park District, Subarea 7. At the Design Review Committee Meeting held on October 6, 2009, the applicant was asked to change the roofing material from standing seam metal to light weight concrete tile. The applicant was proposing a Charcoal Grey blend tile. They now would like to change the color to a Charcoal Brown Blend slate tile. The exterior of the building is proposed to use a mixture of Mountain Rose colored brick veneer for the wall plans, a Frosted Almond colored brick veneer band around the lower part of the entire building, and a stone veneer for the tower element and columns around the entire building. . • Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion regarding this project. Major Issues: The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code, but there is still a color issue with the roof tile. Staff feels the color Charcoal Brown Blend gives a monotone appearance to the building, and the Charcoal Grey blend would be a better fit for the project. Staff recommendation: Staff feels the color Charcoal Brown Blend gives a monotone appearance to the building and the Charcoal blend would be a better fit for the project. Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee keep with its previous recommendation of the Charcoal Blend tile. Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Munoz, Wimberly, Nicholson Staff Planner: Steve Fowler Yvonne Buan, Renee Webber, and the representative from Comerica Bank, presented a revision to the roof color previously approved by the Design Review Committee for the propose Comerica Bank at 12035 Foothill Boulevard. The proposal was to change the roof color to a Charcoal Brown blend from the approved Charcoal Grey blend. The applicant revisited the standing seam metal roof, and the • Committee again requested the roof to be concrete tile. The Committee members supported the approved color citing continuity with the other building in the center. The applicant responded back to G.11 • DRC ACTION AGENDA • DRC2009-00413 — SANTEC CONSULTING — COME RICA BANK December 1 , 2009 Page 2 the Committee that they had to discuss this with Comerica Bank because they have final approval on all the color choices with the site.

Troyer, AICP, Planning Director • By: Lois J. Schrader, Planning Commission Secretary Subject: DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AND TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS BACKGROUND: December 31, 2009 marked the official retirement of Commissioner Stewart. Tentatively, a new Commissioner will be selected by the City Council near the end of January. Commissioner Stewart served as a long standing member of the Design Review Committee (DRC) along with Commissioner Munoz. Commissioner Wimberly has been serving as Alternate and regularly attends the DRC meetings to observe and participate when a standing member is absent. Additionally, Commissioner Stewart served as an Alternate on the Trails Advisory Committee. Although the Trails Advisory Committee does not have a current vacancy other than the Alternate • position previously held by Commissioner Stewart, the Commission could also discuss the current Planning Commission membership of the Trails Advisory Committee. The current Commission has the option to change its membership or revisit those positions before or after the new Commissioner is installed. RECOMMENDATION: In light of the current vacancy on the Commission, staff suggests the Commission discuss, and if they feel it appropriate, officially appoint a replacement for Commissioner Stewart's post on the Design Review Committee as well as consider an Alternate.
