Cox 793 Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. 91730 Attention: Michael Vairin, Planning Assistant Subject: air Approval Application 93 -73 and Minor Subdivision 78 -0325 Gentlemen. This is to confirm our desire per recent conversations to have both applications referenced above considered at the same rime, as they represent one project. My understanding is that the site plan hearing scheduled for July 26, 1978 would be too soon to achieve this goal; therefore, the hearing scheduled two weeks from July 26 would be satisfactory and ae hereby request an exten- sion to said hearing date so that both applications eqn be considered. Prior to said hearing we wish a meeting involving your City Engineer as well ns the Planning Staff so that our engineer can also be in attendance prior to the evolvement of a staff recommendation. c'r truly urs,� �! 7 " ugla K.

CALTRANS has agreed to allow temporrry access until suitable alternative combined access can be de%eloped to the site. Mr. Packer has been informed of this decision and verbally indicated his agreement. 'rhe Engineering Department would like to ammend condition 21 of the Staff Report to require that a cash payment security be provided to cover the cost of curb, gutter, sidewalk and drainage protection on the Hellman Avemie frontage to the site. This provision is in lieu of the current cash trust that is being held to cover improvements on Foothill Boulevard and Hellman Avenue in conjunction with Minor Subdivision No. 77 -0655. Respectfully submitted, LLO rVHUBBS City Engineer LH:dm e;' ". MEMORANDUM DATE: July 26, 1978 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: AN APPLICATION for site approval for the development of a Recrea- tional Vehicle sales and repair center to be located on the north- west corner of Fcothill Boulevard and'Hellman Avenue - C -2 Zone - Request submitted by Richard Packer - Index No. 92 -80. On Friday, July 21, 1978, CALTRANS via telephone communication to the City indicated that the State will deny access for this property off of Foothill Boulevard. This poses a particular problea for the applicant since access off Hellman Avenue is presently not possible; therefore, the applicant must appeal to the State for access if the property is to be developed. Ordinarily, when a situation like this arises the particular item is pulled off the a- genda. However, because of the long processing time for this application, it was decided to keep this item on the agenda in case the applicant can secure State approval for access by the date of the meeting. If such access cannot be obtained by Wednesday, July 26th, the item will be pulled off the agenda. Respectfully submitted, JACK LAM, Director Community Development STAFF REPORT DATE: July 26, 1978 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: AN APPLICATION for site approval for thu development of a Recrea- tional Vehicle sales and repair center to be located on the north - west.cornet of Foothill Boulevard and Hellman Avenue - C -2 Zone - Request submitted by Richard Packer - Index No. 92 -80. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND: The Development of a recreational center for sales and repair of recreational vehicles with emphasis on motorcycles, on approximately two (2) acres of land located on the northwest corner of Hellman Ave. and Foothill Blvd. (Exhibit "A "). The development plan indicates the con- struction of two permanent 6,000 sq. ft. buildings to be used for parts storage, sales, and service of motorcycles, mopeds, four -wheel drive vehicles, trailers and motor homes. In addition, trailer units, totaling 2,880 sq. ft., will be utilized temporarily for the business until permanent buildings are constructed. A steel storage building, of 500 sq. ft., is proposed to be loented adjacent to the temporary trailer units. Further, the applicant has indicated that future permanent buildings will be constructed as his business grows, i:: the undeveloped portion of the site. (See exhibit "B" for a sketch of applicant's development plan.) The Planning Commission continued review of this project from its meeting of June 28, 1978 to allow Staff the time to prepare an adequate Initial. Study to make an environmental determination. Further, the additional time was to allow the applicant and Staff to review the project proposal together in detail. Staff has prepared the necessary environmental documents and has met with the applicant. AUTHORITY FOR APPLICATION: Section 61.021B lists motorcycle sales and repair shops as a permitted use in the C -2 zone requiring Director Review. Section 61. 0219(x) permits trailer coaches for use as an interim business subject to approval of a location and development plan. Therefore, the applicant has requested app- roval of a location and development plan for this development. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the Initial Study and noise analysis. The applicant submitted the noise analysis at the request of Staff because of concerns from surrounding residences. Upon analysis of the environmental documents, the ARC recommends the adoption of a Negative Declaration based upon the implementation of the following mitigating measures: That a three (3) foot solid wasonary wall be constructed along the entire length of the Hellman Ave. property line and continu- ing around the corner radius. Staff Report -2- July 26, 1978 2. That all repair work be done within a ^ompleteiy enclr,sed building. 3. That a dense landscape buffering strip be planted along the en- tire north property line. 4. That the testing of vehicles be done only on major highways such as Foothill Blvd. 5. That a detailed lighting plan be submitted to the Planning Divi- sion for review and approval prior to the issuance of building permits. The DRC found that the above mitigating measures are necessary in order to elimi- nate potential adverse impacts on the environment. Exhibit "C" is the Draft Negative Declaration as prepared by the DRC and published in the newspaper for public review and comments. To date no correspondence has been received in re- gards to this publication. Exhiblt "D" is a copy of the final Negative Declara- tion if adopted by the Planning Commission. ANALYSIS: Staff has thoroughly reviewed the project plans as submitted by the applicant and has found several areas of concern. The development plan indicates access from a 25' driveway on Foothill Blvd. How- ever, such access requires approval from the State Department of Transportation as Foothill Blvd. is a state highway. Cal Trans has indicated to Staff that a- cess for this development is being considered but will require a 35' minimum drive- way. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the driveway off of Foothill Blvd. be widened to 35'. The development plan shows an access drive along the Foothill and Hellman street frontages. In addition, 450 parking is proposed along Hellman Avenue street frontage. The area provided for this access and parking is inadequate to meet minimum design standards. Staff is recommending that the access and parking be eliminated on the south and east sides of the buildings. Further, Staff recom- mends that the buildings be- shifted 10' to the east in order to accomodate the required 35' driveway from Foothill Blvd. The areas on the south and east sides of the buildings will be fully landscaped. Staff has prepared a sketch plan show- ing this redesign and it is attached as Exhibit "E ". In addition, Staff has re- viewed these alterations with the applicant who has agreed to them. The trash enclosure has been proposed along the east property line adjacent to the Hellman Avenue frontage. Staff recommends relocation of the enclosure away from the street frontage as indicated on the Staff sketch plan. Further, Staff is recommending the installation of 4' x 8' landscaped planters for approximately every 5 parking spaces within the parking lot. Elevations for Buildings "A" and "B" indicate a Spanish motif with rile roof and Spanish laced stucco. However, the applicant has not provided elevations of the proposed temporary trailers. Therefore, Staff recommends that such elevations Staff Report -3- July 26, 1978 be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval prior to install- ation. Such trailers should be designed in a manner that portrays them as perm- anent buildings. Design features such as skirting around the trailer, a roof facade, and wood trim, would accomplish this. Staff further recommends that wood slats be provided in the chain link fence around the temporary outdoor storage area. CORRESPONDENCE: A public hearing notice was published in the Cucamonga Times on July 13, 1978 and notice was sent to adjacent property owners. No corres- pondence has been received as a result of thin publication. However, prior to this publication, the County Planning Department sent out referrals to adjacent owners and several negative comments were received. Such comments were related to potential noise from motorcycles and t&ating of vehicles within the surround- ing neighborhoods. Staff feels that these concerns have been adequately covered through environmental review. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this development based on the findings listed below and the following departmental conditions. Further, Staff recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration based on the implementation of the mitigating measures listed in the Staff report and included in the conditions: FINDINGS: 1. That the site is adequate in size and shape. 2. That the site has adequate access. 3. That the propsed use will have uo adverse effect on abutting property. 4. That the proposed use'is consistent with the proposed General Plan. 5. That the conditions listed in this report are necessary to pro- tect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare. - CONDITIONS: 1.

Vaughan YDrq� r�� ua,�2C ljt Ar.11 STAFF REPORT DATE: July 26, 1978 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGES pending before the Planning Commission In reviewin.- the number of applications pending with the City of Rancho Cuca- monga, Staff has di9covered six (6) pending zone :hange cases which deserve some attention.. Some of these zone changes would not even appear before the Planning Commission if not for some previous action by the County which has created some confusion as to the status of each application. The purpose of this report is to clarify the status of each application both for the applicant and for the Planning Commission. ;tii:lbit "A ", attached to this report, is a brief description of each zone change application. Zone Chagge Agplication No. 1. Submitted by Gertrude Hartman, was filed with the County o1 November 1, 1977. The application was set for hearing and heard by the Planning Commission on March 22, 1973 (see Exhibit "B ", Planning Commission Minutes of that meeting). At which time, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to continue the zone change request to July 26, 1978 so that the applicbtio -a may be considered after the adoption of the General Plan. Because this zone change request would be for residential development of a sensitive area, the Planning Commission feared conflicts with pending development policies associated with the City's new General Plan. The General Plan has not yet been adopted, but the first official public hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled for Sept- ember 13, 1978. This formal public hearing initiates the formal hearing process which would culmfrate in public hearing by the City Council for final adoption. It is very possible that the General Plan might not be formally adopted by the City Council until the first of the year. The Planning Commission has two alternatives for this particular application. 1. It could continue this application to the first Planning Commission meeting in January, by which time the General Plan will in all prob- ability be adopted. 2. The Planning Commission decide to take an action of approval or denial, in which case Staff woxild recommend placing this item on the August 9. 1978 agenda of the Planning Commission for formal consideration. Staff Report -2- July 26, 1970 Zone Change Application No. 2. Submitted to the County on March 30, 1978. The application was referred to the Planning Commission on April 26, 1978 at which the Planning Commission determined that an environmental impact report would be required for this zone change since the rezoning of a parcel that is presently zoned Flood Plain District has potential environmental significance. The applicant, Mr. Rogers, subsequently sent a letter (Exhibit "C ") to the City Manager etating that the County had never notified him or any action taken either by the county or by the Planning Commission regarding his application. Because neither he nor his agent was notified of the hearings he did not have the opportunity to pre- sent supportive materials that might have influenced the decision of the Plan- ning Commission. While there is also some question as to comparability with the development policy of the new General Plan, the property is currently designated a Flood Plain District, therefore, whether we have a new General Plan or not, the environmental considerations for this property would be the same. It would seem fair, since there was no notification regarding the past agenda action on this application, the Planning Commissiong might consider reconsidering the matter at which time the applicant would have an opportunity to mace any presentation. If the Planning Commission so desires to reconsider this action, it should schedule this matter for the August 23, 1978 meeting of the Planning Commission. This will enable Planning and Engineering staff to investigate and become familiar with the environmental implications of the proposal. Zone Change Application No. 3 through No. 6. These applications were taken by the County to the City Council at its meeting of June 21, 1978 (it should be noted that Application No. 2 was also included in this group), at which time the County asked the City Council for direction as the processing of these applications since some of these have a reasonable probability of being inconsistent with the General Plan under preparation. The County staff requested the Council direct staff on which item, if any should be continued until the adoption of the General Plan. However, it was noted by the City Attorney at the meeting that the issue should not have been raised at the City Council meeting since the Planning Commission should make a decision on this matter. The City Council, therefore, referred this matter of these applications back to the Planning Commission for their determination. After the City Council's action it was assumed by the applicants that the Planning Commission would immediately make a decision on their applications. However, upon an investigation of these zone change requests, City staff has found that no processing nor analysis of these application" has been done by the County. Furthermore, the environmental assessments cannot be located in any files given to us by the County. It is Staff's assumption that these reviews have not been completed. Therefore, it is apparent to Staff that the first steps in processing these applications have not even begun; therefore, any processing of these zone change applications must be performed as though these applications were just now submitted. The Planning Commission cannot continue these items until the General Plan has been adopted unless the Staff Report July 26, 1978 Commission considers these items formally at a public hearing. And the public hearings cannot take place until these applications have been pro- perly processed. Since no work has been done on any of these applications, and we must start from scratch, it will be only fair to schedule these items in the Staff's workload along with the remaining 200 planning app- lications on an as submitted basis and the Planning Commission will receive these items for consideration as each can be processed. Therefore, no action need be taken by the Planning Commission on Zone Changes 3 through 6.

Rogers 154 East 16th Street Urland, California 91786 June 16, 1978 Planning Commission City of Rancho Cut - amonga Post Office Box 791 Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 91730 Attention: Mr. Loren Wasserman, City Manager Subject: Application for Zone Change on my property on the south side of Baseline Road between Carnelian Avenue and Vineyard Avenue Gentlemen: The subject application was submitted to the San Bernardino County Planning Department on March 29, 1978, requesting rezoning from F.P. 2 to R -3. The application was accompanied by the required Prelinimary Environmental Description Form (PEDF). It is my understanding that normal procedure is to notify the Applicant of any hearing concerning his application. Furthermore we were assured by the County Planning Dept. that we would be notified before any presentation was made to the City, even if made informally. Since it had been over two months since I filed the Application and I had received no further communication from the Planning Dept. I contacted the Planning Dept. on June 5. 1978 to find out what was delaying the processing and was told that the FEDF had been taken to the City Planning Commission in April and that it had been decided to require an Environmental Impact Report. Not only was I not given notice of this hearing, but to date I have never received any official notice from either the City or the County of the action taken . The Application form also re- quested that Associated Engineers, who assisted me in preparing the Application and PEDF, also be notified. Associated Engineers also received no communication, verbal or written, concerning this hearing or the action taken. I would like the opportunity to present information to the Planning Commission whi--h I believe is pertinent to this request and to the Planning Commission decision. Therefore it is hoped that the Commission will reconsider this matter and 1 would very much appreciate having this request for reconsideration placE' on the Agenda of the Planning Commission as soon as possible under City procedures. cc: Tommy Stephens, Co.

Gregory Lawlor Enterprises. BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission reviewed this application at its meeting of June 14, 1978. At this meeting, Mr. Bill Moorehouse and RI-kki Alberson, of TOUPS Corporation stated that additional information from the Foothill Fire District and the U. S. Forest Service addressing the environmental. concerns of the Planning Commission was forthcoming. The Commission voted to continue the item to the meeting of July 12, 1978. At the July 12, 1978 meeeing, the appli- cant still had not obtained the new information and the Commission voted to continue the item to the July 26, 1978 meeting. ANALYSIS_: Staff has contacted Riklci Alberson of the TOUPS Corporation ".o deter- mine if the Foothill Fire District and U. S. Forest Service had submitted any new information. Ms. Alberson stated that both districts were currently re- viewing a revised tentative tract map and that comments had not yet been re- ceived. She was confident that she would have the comments and revisions to the map in time for Planning Commission review at the meeting of :August 9, 1978, and requested a continuance to that meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue this item to the meeting of August 9, 1978 to allow the applicant time to compile and pre- sent the revised tentative tract map to the Planning Commission. Respectfully submittzd, JACK LAM, Directo of Community Development STAFF REPORT DATE: July 26, 1978 TG* Planning Commission FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: HARDSHIP SEWER ALLOCATION At the Planning Commission meeting of July 12, 1978, staff brought before the Planning Commission the issue of the "hardship" sewer allocation. As the Commission will recall, this hardship sewer allocation was one that was recognized by the County. This allocation was 150 units. Of this 150 units there remains 146 units yet to be allocated for development. While the County recognized this "hardship" allocation, the Cucamonga County Water District did not. Since there was no criteria established by the County for allocation of these "hardship" units and because the requests under this "hardship" category greatly excei'ded the remaining 146 units, staff aL the July 12th meeting recommended to the Planning -Commission that it in turn recommend to the City Council the "hardship" requests not be approved and the remaining 146 units either be applied to the remaining 112 units of single home allocation or be lumped into any future new ewer allocation, in which case, the "hardship" requests would be allocated sewer hook -ups on a first come first serve basis. The Planning Commission took the testimony of those who represented the "hardship" requests. These representatives strongly suggested the Planning Commission not wait for new sewer allocation but develop some procedure by which the 146 remaining "hardship" units could be distributed now. The :lanning Commission requested the City Attorney to provide a report on the legal implications of developing another selection process by which these approved tracts must go through to gain approval of sewer allocation. Since the July 12th Planning Commission meeting, two (2) new informational developments have occ•irred which will. change the Planning Commission's perspective on the whole "hardship" sewer issue. First, new sewer allocation will be avai "able to the Cucamonga County Water District very shortly. While the exact amount is not known at the present time, this figure will be well in excess of the number of proposed units under the ' hardship" request. Therefore, sewer allocation will be available for these "hardship" ceses. The second development is that the City Council at their meeting of July 1978 unanimously adopted a moratorium on new residential construction with HARDSHIP SEWER ALLOCATION -2- July 26, 1978 the only exception being those approved tracts under the BIA Agreement. This moratorium does not affect commercial nor industrial development, but does place a hold or. the issuance of any new building permits for tract development including the "hardship" tract until January 1, 1979. The availability of new sewer allocation and the moratorium on the issuance of residential building permits until January 1, 1979 now makes any discussion regarding the determination of "hardship" or 11hardship" criter;a academic since these approved tracts would be first in line for the new allocation after January 1st, it is, therefore, logical to dispense with the "hardship" sewer category. In dispensing with this "hardship" category the remaining 146 units would be merely added to the new allocation that would be available January 1, 1979. Therefore, no action by the Planning Commission is necessary. Respectfully submitted, I JAM LAM, Director of Community Development STAFF REPORT DATE: July 26, 1978 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Director of Community Development SUBJECT: REFERRAL OF DIRECTOR REVIEW for the Development of a Professional Office Complex located on the southeast corner of Hellman and Baseline Avenue - PP Zone - Submitted Ly Doug Hone. BACKGROUND: The development of this property which is located on the southeast corner of Hellman Avenue and Baseline Avenue will entail significant research in regards to the proposed street improvements on both street frontages. With the transfer of this project from the County to the City's Planning staff, time has not allowed for adequate review of these aspects. Further, in conjunction with the development of this property, Mr. Hone has submitted a minor subdivision requost that should be reviewed concurrently with this development proposal. After discussing these matters with the applicant, the applicant requested that the review of this project be continued until the meeting of August 9, 1978. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission grant the continuance for the review of this project to the August 9, 1978 meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING The meeting was declared open for the following Public. Hearings. SITE APPROVAL for the development of a recreational vehicle sales and repair center to be located on the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Hellman Avenue - L' -2 Zone - Request submitted by Robert Packer - Index No. 92 -80. Staff stated the applicant, Robert Packer, has obtained temporary access off of Foothill Boulevard from the State, therefore, the application may be heard. Mr. Lam had Mr. Vairin present the staff report. Michael Vairin presented the staff report in detail, which is or file in the Planning Divisiun. He stated that the Dcvclnpment Review Committee has reviewed the Initial Study and noise analysis. 'lie noise analysis was submitted by the applicant per the request of Staff because of concerns from surrounding residences. The Develop:ient Review Committee recommended the adoption of a Negative Declaration bas ^d upon the implementation of mitigating measures listed in the Sta "f report. lie reported that Staff has thoroughly reviewed the project plans as submitted by the applicant and has found several areas of concern. The developm-ent plan indicated access from a 25' driveway on Foothill 3oulevard. However, such access requires approval from the State Department of Transportation as Foothill Boulevard is a State highway. CALTRANS has indicated to Staff that access for this development .;as been approved on a temporary basis until alternative access can be provided as long as the driveway is of 35' minimum width. Staff recommended the the south and east sii be shifted 10' to the required 35' driveway on the south and east landscaped. access and parking be eliminated on ics of the buildings and the buildings east in order to accommodate tae from Foothill Boulevard.
