Dear Mr. Stevens: _
'rile City of Rancho Cucamonga is presently in the midst of developing the
Community General Plan. areas of conceru have been the hillalde areas
nortit of the City where the above described projects fail. The Rancho
Cucamonga Master Plan designates much of the area west of the (,,h:tffe_v
IW).ional Parksite as "Hillside Development" with . Ieusities less than .1
tilt per gross 'acre, provided the site is suitable for development.
Furthermore, a large area east of the Parksite has been designneed
It Area ", since there is lack of information runcerning fiseal impacts
and environmental constraints such as fluod. cunt rul and seismic safety.
It is our•feeliug that the environmental constraintss to development as
well as the area's remoteness from urban services, mal.vs this area
premature for immediate development. There is much land closor in to
centralized urban rnri•s that could m;ijuvain a competitive bousiIll.
market without crearing' leapfrog development.
Any area north of our City limits will have austhctic, environmental and
potential fiscal imp:ic.ts to the community. Uncontrolled grading and small -
nCale development north of the City would also pose flood dangkiry by
adversely influencing drainage patterns downstream. It should be further
noted that LAFCO will soon be deciding on a sphere of influence designation
for Rancho Cucamongn in this particular area. Therefore, Rancho Cucamonga
g.. will bear the full impact of any development of this area, i.eapfrog
development should be discouraged until:
I. A firm resolution of the LAFCO sphere of influence for the
City and agreement with the County on development standards
and densities, etc. on both sides of the City line.
2. Identification of environmental constraints and their initigation .
or resolution; i.e., the resolution of flood control dusigns
' for this area should be established or determined.

3. The fiscal impacts to the City of development of this area
including the critical issues of ttming and utility extenstons
-ire determined..
In the interim, large parcel zoning should be required to discourage
premature conversion to urban densities. Therefore, the City would
request that the County not continue to approve subdivisions that further
reduce the size of parcels which would in turn diminish the ability to
control rapid urbanization of these extremely significant northern lands.
If you 'have any .questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at

BACK'-.,.?,'D
In November 1977 the voters of Alta Loma, Cucamonga and Etiwanda approved incor-
poration of the 33 square mile City of Rancho Cucamonga. The key issue was the
desire for local control of the physical development of the three communities,
so preparation and adoption of a General Plan have top priority. Nobody could
ignore the dramatic changes - more than 20,000 new residents since 1975 - or the
problems, such as overc"wded schools and no capacity to treat sewage from addi-
tional liowvo. AlLlutigh lean Lhun 200 LraCL luLs have been approved since 1574,
nearly 4,000 homes were under construction and 1,300 n':ood completed but unoccu-
pied in February 1978 when a voluntary one -year limit of 800 units was accepted
by the City Council and the building industry.
Rancho Cucamowil;a, with nearly 50,000 residents now, is the County's ":bird most
populous city - and it is less than 40 percent developed_ Approvals Inherltud
by the new city will increase population by 30,000 persons if all projects are
completed. The reasons for rapid growth are evident. Persons employed in tite
Los Angeles basin or Orange County who want a new single family detached house
in the $50,000 to $75,000 range have limited choices: Ventura County, Riverside -
Corona, or the West Valley. Middle- income families are being priced out of new
housing in much of Orange County, and some who can afford to pay mare than $75,000
would rather have the larger house and lot they can buy in Rancho Cucamonga. Only
shortages of public services or a prolonged national building slump are likely Co
keep Rancho Cucamonga from reaching full development within the next 30 years.
HOW THE GENERAL PLAN WORKS
The General Plan to date consists of land use and environmental constraints maps
and the text :sections marked "proposed for adoption." Together they represent
the City's Interim statement of overall policy for physical development.
California law requires a new city to adopt a comprehensive, long -term general
plan for physical devel.opr,tit within 30 months after incorporation. The zoning
ordinance mu,;t be consistent with the general plan within three yt•ars. The City
Council anti City Planning - Commission want to move faster beraure rhev need a
framework for consistent decisions. County zoninT has hevo adopted as a stopn,ap,
but the proposed sec of interim elements is the first attcmpl' to develop a set
of policies that represent. the aspirations of the people of Rancho Cucamonga.
The Interim I.and Use, Circulation, and Community Facilities elements of the
General Plan deal with the issues of widest public interest.. Other general
plan elements required by state law are housing, opon space, consvrvatlun, noise,
seismic and public safety, and scenic highways. 'these will be IlTopared later
within the 30 .month time frame building on the countywide :audles done in 1974.
When firm policies have been established by those a.l.outents, the interim land use,
circulation, and public facilities elements will he modified Co be consistent
with all other policy and all elements would be adopted as the official General
}[r +5 Plan of the. Citv of Rancho Cucamonga.
When adopted by the City Council, the Genera] Plan will be the basis for spccifie
development regulations. A new zoning ordinance text and mop will be consistent -
with the General Plan, but tile. General Plan wIII rcmaiei a policy stat,�mont, not
c4'<
a specific set of regulations. For ex..:;:c, means of preserving open space
shown on the General Plan have been considered, but in most cases not finally
determined. If land shown in open space must be bought to avoid depriving
an owner of reasonable use of his property, the City will have to raise the
money or change the Plan when an application is made for development that meets
all other requirements.
PROCESS
The proposed Interim elements have been prepared.by john Blay.ey Associates,
Urban and Regional Planners, with the assistance of stu }.f meml•ers of San Ber-
nardino County who had worked on the Tri- Communities Data Base (Growth 77
Report) and who participated until July 1, 1978, when the City took full res-
ponsibility for all planning work.
The City Council and City Planning Commission imve held sreven joint meetings to
discuss the General Plan. At a day -long community meeting held April 29 at
Alta Loma High School, 100 residents and property owners debated issues and
options, working from an outline developed at earlier ,public meetings by the
City Council and Planning Cotanission. Three Alternative Sketch Plans were
presented on May 23, and a fourth plan evolving from the first three was
reviewed on June 28.
The Planning Commission has conducted numerous public hearings before recommending
these elements to the City Council for adoption. The Council must then hold at
least one public hearing' prior to adoption. The Council may change the document
approved by the Commission, but must refer a proposed.ciiange to the Commission
for a report. After the preparation of the other Gencrai Plan elements, the
General Plan will be adopted as final. After final aduptlon, no manda-
tory element may be amended more than three times each year.
The Plan has been distributed to all households within the City so all interested
persons can coma to the hearings prepared to cocanenc. It is not frozen. Good
criticisms have changed it.
A Draft Environmental impact Report (EIR) on the General Plan was prepared for
public rcvimw. Written comments were received within a 45 day period from
September 20, after which any needed changes or additions to the EIR uere
made. Prior to or at the time of approval of the Plan, the. Planning Commission
must accept the EIR as complete.
ISSUES ANN
OPTIONS
Many general f lans fall short of community cxptcta-
tions because they dodge the hard questions. Every-
one can agree ihat we should maintain and enhance
the quality of lite, but that doesn't help most spe-
cific development decisions. Early in the process we
tried to state the issues and then list the specific
planning options — choices that could bc. mapped or
measumd. The options are listed below with the Gen -
cral Plan proposal in parentheses. Those concerned
only with what is proposed for adoption can skip this
section.
Community Identity
ISSUE 1: Maintain and entrance the separate Identities of Alta
Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda-
Option A: Establish diflurent design standards for each cont-
munny. (Yes.)
Option 8: Establish a strong center for each community. (Yes,
depends in part on which site is selected for a regional center —
See Issues 5.7 ")
option C: Create separators between the communities, using
open space or nonresidential uses. (No, limited, affordable
open space can be used to batter advantage.)
ISSUE 2: Establish a strong Image for Rancho Cucamonga as
a City,
Option A: Create a single dominant Citywide commercial, gov
emmental, and cultural complex at a central location. (Yes, with
regional center site allernat-ves A and 8.)
Option B: Select a City theme that can have astrong enough
pq•sical expression to create a desired image. (No, the theme
C d not emerge.)
Option C: Create a greenbelt at City edges or main points of
entry. (Yes, but with minimal land acquisition.)
Residential Development
ISSUE 3: The sameness of resiucuudi ueverupment in large
areas of the City and the correlation between lot size and
elevation often are criticized.
Option A: Require a mix of lot sizes. (Should be encouraged in
large subdivisions, but sneaker lots meet opposition in developed
neighborhoods.)
Option B: Introduce cluster or condominium housing with gen•
erous surrounding open space that would allow septic tanks in
areas not served by sewers. (Should be considered an a case.
by case basis, but designation on General Plan was not accept
able to residents of Alta Loma north of Banyan.)
ISSUE 4: Because the City has little old housing, many per-
sons employed in its stores and plants cannot afford to live
in Rancho Cucamonga.
Option A: flake full use of sl7le and federal housing subsidy
programs. (To be eorvdcred during preparation of Housing
Element, but state and fedcrcl programs can meet only a small
pan of need.)
Option 8: preserve older housing, including Old Town and tracts
adjoining industrial development. (Yes)
Option C: Require a mix of lo:• :•moderatre income housing in all
new subdivisions. (Tu be considered during preparation of
Housing Element.)

Commercial
ISSUE 5: The emerging pattern of neighborhood shopping
centers at four corners of major intersections.
Option A: Allow centers oa all four corners. (No, except where
final plans have been approved.)
Option B: Allow only one shopping center per intersection.
(Yes, but do not grant zoning until construction is assured.)
Option C: Group convenience shopping and services in multi-
ownership districts that are not bisected by major streets.
(Good idea. but probably won't happen.)
ISSUE 6: Strip commercial development.
Cation A: I imit to arnac nnw rnmmittad IYPS,)
Option 8: Allow on selected major streets because design con
hol can make it mote interesting than concrete block walls.
(No, other remedies arc available.)
Option C: Group mutually supportive businesses in "centers;'
such as an auto tenter. (Yes, but Will require developer initiative.)
ISSUE 7: How should the City's larnesi commercial complex
be located and desioned7
Option A: Designate the "best" location for a regional shopping
center and allow incremental development. (No, high asking
price may make project infeasible, or early partial development
may cause prime tenants to took elr.ewherc.)
Option 8: Designate several acceptable locations for regioral
shopping centers and approve no commaciel development on
any of the sites until a major, high quality center is assured.
(Yes )
Option C: Plan for a central business district that would include
major retail complexes built by several developers at different
times 4nd supporting offices end commercial services- (Yes,
but stogie ownership is more likely.)
Option O: Combine civic cultural facilities with the major retail
center to enhance the urban feeling of both. (Yes, it retail center
is near the center of the City.)
Industrial
ISSUE 8: Location, size, and buffering of industrial areas.
Option A: Seek all industrial uses that meet regicral emissions
standards, provided that industries with heavy traffic or other
nuisance features are will buttered from residential areas. (Yes.)
Option 0: Gradually relocate scattered housing in areas occupied
by industrial uses or zoned for industry. (No, v,ith very lew
exceptions.)
Option C: Require industrial Land to provide buffer zones to
sollen the visual and land use impacts on adjoining industrial
and residential uses, (res.)
Option 0: Preserve all land south of Foothill Boulevard for in
du-trial use. (Yes, except land now committed to housing)
Option E: Designate 500 feet on each side of th- Southern
Facll,c tracks east of Haven Avenue for industrial use in order
to avoid locating homes where I icy will be subject to railroad
nuic.; n:;c. (No, tracks carry only two trains per day.)
Option F: Preserve currently designated industrial land north
of nasdine between llaven and Ellwanda Avenue. (No, land
`.cpp!y South 0! ro0ttiifl is ample.)
Option G: Set a target of local industria! area employment %at
reeks to minimize vehicular traffic by equalizing the number of
Nest Valley jabs with the Weld Vailcy tabor force. (Large in
dustrial area employment poltimal will help reduce current
commule to Los Angeles and Orange Counties.)
Option h: 1 unit industrial grovrlh to a level that w ll not weaken
Panchen Cucamonga's image as a residential community- (No,
no: a problem it strong design standards arc adopl-A.)
Open Space
ISSUE 9: Amount, location, and use of open space,
Option A: Concentrate resources to squire parks lot ac :..
recreation. (Yes.)
Option B: Locaii parks adjoining schools to take advar.i....:
of joint use. (Not used as criterion for park location.)
Option C: Locate parks away from schools to avoid use con -
Ihcts and to create more visual variety in the community. (Not
used as criterion for park location.)
Option 0: Acquire large open areas on flat ground where there
is the greatest reed for relief from continuous urban develop-
ment. (Yes.)
Option E. Acquire steep slopes to maintain natural vegetation
and avoid scarring foothills. (No, problem can be controiler,
by regulation.)
Option F. Acquire cgricuiturat Land as a greenoelt, using crop
revenue to allset acquisition cost. (No, revenue is iradequaie,
and there is no support for public subsidy.)
Option G: Use power line rights of w-y for recreation. (Yes,
where benefits lustily costs.)
Dpficn H: Develop a system of equestrian trails through the
community. (Yes. detailed plan should be prepared.)
Option 1: Obtain adJitional right of way adjoining drainage chan-
nels and develop for recreational use. (NO, unless redesign of
tined control system makes use of wide, unlined channels
feasible.)
ISSUE 10: Preservation or orderly phasing out of agriculture.
Option A: Do nit attempt to preserve agriculture in view of
econcmie ddhculbeS_ (Yes, except in Etiwanda windrow area.)
Option B: Preserve the most productive land until less pro-
ductive land is urbanized. (No, except in Etiwanda windrow area.)
Transportation
ISSUE 11: Means of minimizing congestion andtotaivehicuiar
gavel. -
Option A: Locate major traffic generators near freeways to re•
duce traffic on City sueets. (Yes, under regional retail center
site Alternative; B and C.)
Option B: Avoid concentrating heavy traffic generators e: major
j'. intersections. (Yes, future shopping centers limited to one per
}` intersection.)
Option C: Increase transit usage. (Yes, by locating apartments.
ntfices, and mswutions along major thoroughfares.)

pedestrians. (Yes, by avoiding.,iecnCrete block wills which
make streets uninteresting and inconvenient for shoe trips.)
ISSUE 12: Major streets Erred with concrete block wags
are boring.
Option A: Improve design and landscaping, (Yes.)
Dpbun O: Ahow access to major street frontage as long as
driveways a•e designed So that vehicles do not back across
the curb line. (Yes.)
Option C: V a side on lots with cut de saes, sculptured earth
berms, or frontage toads. (Yes.)
Option D: Mix cores that do not require frequent diivcway5 along
major street,,- (Yes.)
Option E: Develop a distinctive design lot each major street that
will become the primary means of street idrntihcation. (Yes.)
Community Services
Schools
ISSUE 13: School overcrowding is a problem now and Is
likely to become worse.
Option A: CoOect fees Irom developers to provide temporary
classroom space. (ordinance has t -cen adopted.)
—4—
Option B: Approve development only where school capacity
will be avx!abte. (tot eons[deied as a General Plan policy but
should be part of a development phasing system until legislation
authorizing financing new sites and permanent construction is
passed.)
Option C: Do not use the City's power to withhold development
approval in order to solve school tiislrictst problems. (Should
be considered as put of growth phasing System as tore as
school districts lack authority to expand capacity.)
Option B: Establish quota at housing types to allow continued
development with control of the proportion of housirrg that
generates high enrollments. (Should be considered as long as
school districts tack authority to expand capacity.)
Sewers
ISSUE 14: Sewage treatment capacity is a constraint an
growth.
User cturges and connection lees are the only means at raising
local funds for treatment plant expansion. Policy should be part
of growth phasing system.
Growt". Management
ISSUE 15: Should residential development occur in phased .
steps, filling in near existing development, or should a
deveieper s willingness to finance service exlcnsions be the
determinant as long as the locatlun is consistent with the
General Plan's land use pattern?
Option A: Adopt a prasing system dcsignrd to minimize the
cost of public services. (Should be prepared after General Plan
adoption.)
Option B: Limit developnilant east of Haven Avenue as long as
ample land is available to the west (Should be considered
as part of phasing system. PI nn proposes study area
in northeast portion of the City.)
Option C: Encourage new residential development in partiality
developed Outlying areas that now have too few home; to sup-
port a school and park. (Yes.)
Option 0: Do not attempt to phase residential growth. (Must
be analyzed as the alturnabve to a growth phasing system.)
Option E: Liam: the Citywide growth rate to a fair Share" of
regional growth. (Not considered, but may be necessary part of
phasing system it services expansion cannot be financed to
meet market demand.)
ISSUE 16: Development of presently unincorporated area
between the north City boundary and the National Forest
boundary should be consistent with City policies.
Option A: Scek annexation as soon as possible. (No proposal;
ellect on City's fiscal position should he analyzed.)
Option B: Request San Bernardino County to apply develop -
mont standards to this area that are Compatible with those
adjoining in ttre City. (Yes.)
Environmental Constraints
ISSUE 17: The study area has envirenmental censtraints
that cause many development proposals to have significant
impacts on health, safely, and visual amenity.
Oplien A: Litmt development to areas secure from flood hazard,
(DeI rminal'on can be made only on a project by project basis.)
Option B: F.I;cw development where temporary hood Control
rncawfes are available, or anticipated progeny damage will not
fustity the cost of control. (Determination to be made on a
p: o,ecl by project basis.)
Option C: Limit hillside grading for accitid, as well as safety
Masons. (Yes.)
Option D: Require preservation of existing windbreaks and
planting of new ones. (Yes, bit contention that some windrows
will not withstand develm, ment nearby must tto studied prior
to project decision.)

MAJOR POLICIES
(Proposed for adoption)
Citywide and
Cotlm- munity Identity
The interim plan includes proposals that
will strengthen the identity of the three communities and
also create a strong image for Rancho Cucamonga as
a unified city.
The principal clement of Cityw;dc identity will
be the regional shopping center, particularly if it is
nr -ar the center of the city. (Alternative sites are
illustrated on the Plan Map.) The strength of
this focal point will be further enhanced by locating a
large park and the civic center next to the regional
center.
Preservation of windrows identifies Etiwanda,
and Alta Lorna's already strong name is unlikely to
be lost. Cucamonga lacks clear boundaries, but early
construction of a proposed community shopping cen-
ter would make an important contribution.
Street sign color, placement, or design, and
other tasilf controlled elements of the urban scene
should be used to mark community boundaries.
Regional Retail Center
The market to support a major regional shopping
center (four department stores and one million or
more square feel of store area) serving the area be-
tween Montclair Plaza (Montclair), Inland Center
and downtown San Bernardino, and Tyler hiall in
Riverside is more than five years away. Rancho
Cucamonga should make a strong effort to attract
this center as a matter of convenience for residents,
City identity. and fiscal gain (sales tax).
The Pl..n should be flexible enough to
accommodate the center at several locations because
one tandowner may grow tired of waiting or ask too
high a price, and because different developers or
their key tenants may not agree on a single best
location.
Open Space
Nest of Haven Avenue the Oty already is running
out of open space. Acquisition must have a high
priori[)' if Rancho Cucamonga is to avoid the seem-
ingly undifferentiated urban environment extending
west to Santa Monica. The Plan proposes that open
space on not land be intensively used for rerreation
as well as visual relief, and calls for a few large parks,
rather than many small neighborhood parks that cost
more to maintain, create little sense of urban form,
and arc less intensively used. Steep slopes and Flood
Control District spreading grounds arc to be kept in
their natural state.
Housing Choice
The current zoning pattern that increases lot size rc-
quirerncnts with elevation his suo,ig support. The
Plan respects this, but also recognizes the expressed
desire for a choice or housing types and prices in each
of the three enntintnities by locating medium and
high density housing in each. The City's small supply
of old housing is pres••rved because replacement
housing inevitably would cost more. Techniques for
improving housing choice should be a proposed part
of the Housing Element of the General Plan.
I
Maximum industrial
Development
A preliminary sketch plan showing maximum indus-
trial development south of Foothill Boulevard was
selected over one that reduced the area to the mini-
mum boundaries needed to protect existing indus-
tries.
If the estimated current average of 10 workers
per acre is maintained, hull development of the 5.300
acres will create mv:e jobs than will be held by all
residents of Rancho Cucamonga, most of whom now
commute to Los AnFcles and Orange Counties. The
industrial areas arc likely to h:.ve open land when no
more space is availpble for housing, and eventually
there will be a tic! inflow of workers. Although
Rancho Cucamonga probably, will receive little fiscal
benefit from the large amount of industry if current
allocation formulas for taxes collected in accord with
Proposition 13 prevail, residents will have a greater
choice of nearby jobs. The scattered pattern of exist-
ing industry would make it difficult to cut back the
amount of industrial land without creating residen-
tial- industrial conflicts.
Urban Design Quality
Residents' most frequent expressions of dissatisfac-
- f,–
tion use the words "monutory," "walled city," and
"lack of landscaping" or "loss of windrows." Sev-
cral Plan proposals are intended to meet
these criticisms — creation of a central focal point,
mixed uses on thoroughfare frontages, location of
medium and high density housing where it will pro-
vide a visual change of pace, preservation of wind-
row's, and special boulevard landscaping.
Reversing the County practice of requiring resi-
dential subdivisions to have continuous concrete
block walls along major and secondary thorough-
fares probably will chance appearance more than any
other single policy. Other changes will require design
standards and design review during the development
approval process and a budget for maintenance of
landscaping in public rights of way that was notavail-
able prior to incorporation.
The single mes". vc the planners have heard most
often is a demand for high standards of community
design and development. Meeting expectations will
require a creative, thorough development approval
process, but one that does not waste money in cum -
bersontc procedures or insist on standards that raise
costs substantially. The City must tie ready to act —
to %pot opportunities and seek desirable dcvclop-
ment, while continuing to respund to the proposals
of dr elopers.
C
LAND USE
(Proposed for adoption)
The interim land use plan trap shows
cite proposed arranae-
mcnt of land uses at the time when :he City will be
fully developed. It does not ipastratc policies for the
timing of devclopment. Thu:, some projects are not
expected to be built during, the next 20 years, while
some existing uses that are to be phucd out may be in
operation for 20 years.
The boundaries between uses are intcnd,:d to be
exact at some locations, particularly where land is de-
veloped now. In unsubdivided areas, boundaries are
approximate. The land use proposals
are not the same as zoning. The City will adopt new
zoning that will be consistent with the Plan,
but for much of the City the zoning designation may
not be the same as the land use on the plan because
development is not imminent. Zoning prescribes de-
tailed standards for development of precisely defined
areas, and in many instances should not be set until
specific development proposals are approved. Pre.
servation of alternative shopping center sites is an
example.
The proposed strategy for preserving alternative
regional center sites affects other land uses in a four-
square -mile area. To avoid confusion, the
Plan map leaves this area blank and includes three
alternatives for this area. A decision process for de-
vclopntent approval in this area is proposed under
the heading "Carrying Ou! the interim Plan.
Housing
The housing proposals take account of the expected
market for units of different types and prices, but are
not detcrmired by a desired growth rate or maxi-
mum population. Because Rancho Cucamonga is
part of the West Valley urban area, its character will
not depend on how many people reside within its
boundaries, but on the quality of the residential
neighborhoods. %Vhen fully developed at the densi-
ties proposed, Rancho Cucamonga will have a pop-
ulation of about 130,000. When will this be?
The Southern California Association of Govern-
ments' (SCAG) high projection (Local Ii -150) anti -
cipatcs 9000persons in 211110, representing an aver-
age increase of 620 housing units per year. At this
rate General Plan holding capacity would be reached
in 48 years. Alrhour•h the City is not likely to resume
the rate of growth during 1915 -78 when the average
annual increase %as 7,400 persons, it probably car
sustain a rate about twice the SCAG average if
-7-
0
schools and sewage treatment capacity are available.
At 1,200 units ier year, holding capacity would be
reached shortly after 2000. Developrrtcnt will slow
down as land becomes scarce, so 2010 is a probable
date for residential build -out within the present City
boundary.
Hillside Most of the area north of the City boundary
west of Haven Avenue (mainly north of the power
line tasemcnt and above the 20 percent slope line) is
too steep to be developed without hill scarring, is in
the Cucamonga fault zone, or is subject to flood or
fire hazard. However, the. a arc some suitable build-
ing sites on which lots as small as one acre may be .
appropriate if they arc accessible by roads that don't
scar the hills. Rather than attrmpt to determine the
probable overall density, the General Plan proposes
adoption of standards that can be used to determine
the suita` °' °.,y of any site that may be proposed for
developrr :nt. Probably fewer than 100 acccotnble .
building sites will be found.
Very Low Density, (.1 to 2 units per gross acre; aver-
age 1.5 units) A pattern of 20,000 square foot lots
with septic tanks is established in Alta Loma north of
Banyan Avenue. The Plan extends it eastward to pro-
posed Chaffey Regional Park. Residents have ex-
pressed opposition to clustered housing at the same
overall density, but on some sites it should be con -
1 sidcred in order to preserve trees and avoid heavy
grading. Grading standards that limit the extent of
y house pad slopes are needed.
%lost of the City's 900 horses are in the very low
dcn'ity area. In addition to a few citrus groves and
sonic pasture, the vestiges of rural character that re-
main are windrows and roads that have not been
widened as a conditior. ot'subdivisior approval. Both
A indrows and narrow sheets can be retained by mod-
ifying road width standards formerly used by the
County.
Windrow Preservation (.1 to 3 units per gross acre;
average 1.5 without sewers. 2.5 with sewers) The
eucalyptus windrow's ;it ktiwanda typically are 330
feet apart. With one street between, tots on either
side could be 140 feet deep, allowing space for n
house without undue hazard from a falling tree or ex-
cessive shading. Although there arc. differences of
opinion an the practicality c-t keeping the existing
trees, there is widcspreae lgrccmcnt that the

n
' windrows arc an essential part of i-.tlwanda's identify
and are needed to temper the windy climate (100 mile
per hour gusts have been recorded).
Low Density (2 to 5 units per gross acre; average ?
units) Half of the residential land is assigned this
density that typically results from 7,200 square foot
lots in most of the City south of Banyan Street.
Development regulations should give consideration
to allowing some variation in lot size while maintain-
ing the gross community density (including streets
and schools) of 3.6 units per acre. lots could be as
small as 5,(OD square feet (as permitted in many
California cities), and up to 2 i. -: _cot of the area at
approved locations could be used for apartments.
This flexibility wrmld break the pf {e ^�rircized ___ ^.i- 1
formity, and, if permuted only within larger sub-
divisions, the vArintions would not affect theenviron-
ment of present residents. Single family dominance
would be main,nined with apartments comprising no
more than 7 to 10 percent of the units in a low density
neighborhood.
Medium Density (5 to 15 units per cress acre: average
10 units) Mobilc homes and townhouses typify the 10
units per acre standard. As land becomes s,.arce,
townhouses and patio homes (z.cro lot line) are ex-
pected to become snore popular building types in
Rancho Cucamonga.
lligh Density (15 to 30 units per gross acre; average
20 units) The highest density housing is proposed ad-
joining shopping centers and along major thorough.
fares. Attainable densities will depend on ability to
meet standards for usable outdoor living space and '
landscaping, and typically will result in !No or three
apartment Icvcis over parking.

Commercial
Retail commercial development politics test the
adequacy of the flan as a development guide
:. a community with high sxvwth potential bc_-ause
there are more suitable sites for shopping Centers
than buying power will support. Designation of
"general" locations is not a full solution because
logical alternative sites may be miles apart — as in
the case of a regional shopping center for Rancho
Cucamonga. Showing a single site on the plan can
cause the following problcm�:
—Sharp increase in asking price by owner.
— Request by developer for plan ainendment to
build at an Mtcrnative location and opposition
by those who had counted on construction at
the location shown on ihu p tar..
— prcmature commitment of a potential site to
another use.
— bpposWon to a suitable alternative site because
surrounding owners had made commitments to
other uses.
Competing centers at locations that may be
detrimental to both, inconvenient to shoppers,-
or disruptive to traffic flow.
The solution is to "take all shopping center zon-
ing conditional upon dcnlonstrat:on that the pro -
poxd project will be built. Developers can be given
sufficient assurance that a well - conceited project
will be approved to justify their investment in de-
tailed planning.
The proposed flan shows alternative
sites for proposed neighborhood shopping centers,
for a community center, and for a regional shopping
center.

REGIONAL SHOPPI):' '"'SINESS crN*rEF
Because the regional shopping center can have satellite retail and office
development and is proposed to adjoin a major park on Alternate A and B,
its location will affect the development of about four square miles cast
of Haven Avenue. The inset sections of the land use Plan show different
land use patterns consistent with each regional shopping center site.
Owners should be encouraged to keep the regional center options open, and
the City should consult with the owners before taking any action that would
eliminate a site. It should be noted that the alternatives shown are concep-
tual rather than specific. Above all, the City encourages specific planning
for these areas in order that more detailed study may be made to estaUI sh
specific land use relationships. Even land uses not similar to the study area
alternatives may be considered given more detailed examination; for instance,
commercial /professional office uses may be appropriate along Foothill Blvd.
provided the proper land use controls and specific patterns of land use are
established in order that undesirable strip commercial can be avoided. There -
fore, these alternatives have been labeled alternative study areas.
ALTERNATIVE A STUDY AREA: HAVEN AND FOOTHILL. BLVD.: A regional center at the
northeast corner would be near the geographic center of the City on a site
already proposed. By locating the City's major park to the north (at the
southeast corner of haven and Baseline) and aligning Milliken Avenue to bring
traffic from both the Foothill and San Bernardino freeways to the ccnter, it
could be the dominant focus of Rancho Cucamonga - creating a stronger city center
than any other conznunity in the I•lest Valley will have. The major criticism of
this situ is that it is 2 1/2 miles from the nearest interchanges on the San
Bernardino, Devorc, 6 proposed Foothill freeways -an w visual but not unique location
for department store tenants that traditionally have favored sites visible, from
a freeway. To keep this site in the running, the developer must forego a present
opportunity to develop a community shopping center on the site and must hold the
adjoining proposed park site open.
ALTERNATIVE B STUDY AREA: MILLIKEN AT F001'11I1.1. FREEMNY: locating the regional
center in the square mile bounded by Haven, lease Line, 1.1111 ikon, & the propnred Foothill
Freeway would dupend on construction of the freeway to provide both access and
prominence. The center could have an Alta Lowo identity ti•:ir would be important
if "fashion plaza" tenants are sought. Construction of the freeway and a million
square foot shopping center both probably are 10 years away, so the timing may
work well and the first center to open on the Proposed Foothill Freeway may be able to
command an exceptionally large trade area. The potential for a major parl: and
the civic centur at the northeast corner of Haven and Base Line could make this
site as stront; n city center ns Alternative. A. If thin option is to he preserved,
no additional subdivisions should be approved in the square mile, and the high
school site shown north of Muse Line on Alternnttvu A sinould be m,,vud to the
south side.
ALTERNATIVEi_ C STUDY AREA: FOOTHILL B_OULIiVARD AT_AE!OR_E FREEI -M: This regional
center site is the only one with nseured freeway visibility. However, it would
contribute the least to conminity identity because it is at the east edge rf the
City and is not as suitable for rin adjoining major park and civic center as the
other sites. To preserve this option, n conmunir.y park shown on a portion . of-the

CO?iMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER
Purchasing power now exists and interest has been expr.nssed in a community
shopping center anchored by a 100,000 square foot, K -Mart, Zodys or 'ireasury type discount
department store. Such a ce'ater could enhance the identity of the Cucamonga
community, offer shopping convenience, and bring a substantial increase in
sales tax revenue to the City in the near future. If the regional center
site on Alternative A is riot to be preserved, the northeast corner of Haven
and Foothill Boulevard would be suitable. However, two centers would congest
this intersection that barely will be adequate with double left turn lanes
from all approaches and an eight -phase signal if a regional center is built.
An alternative location of the 15 -20 acre community shopping center is shown
one -half mile south at the northwest corner of Arrow Route and Haven.
NEICHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTE°S
Experience elsewhere in California is thac a 6 -10 acre center anchored by
a major supermarket requires an average of 9,000 residents in its trade area,
justifying 14 centers in Rancho Cucamonga at full development. Alta Loma
now has three i.n operation and two more nearing completion. Cucamonga has
the equivalent of one on roothill near Archibald. Before incorporation, more
sim pping center sites had been zoned in Alta Loma west of ilaven than will be
needed. The reason was that all four corners of major intersections claimed
entitlement to the same use, but the result will be overbuilding, unnecessary
automobile starts, and intersection congestion.
Locations proposed for eight additional neighborhood centers arc:
ALTA LOMA: Haven north of liigitland, west side or cast side.
Southeast corner of Archibald and Baseline
ETIIdANDA: One quadrant of Etiwanda Avenue at Bnseline or
Etiwanda Avenue south of Foothill Freeway (with
regional center Alternative C).

(Alternatives B and C.).

Service Commercial
This term describes the long list of businesses that
usually do nv! locate is shopping ccatcrs, ranging
from automotive to building materials, veterinarians,
restaurants, and motels. Commercial strips are
identified as the pl aesthetic nuisance by residents of
most cities, so the plan protects Rancho Cuctmonga's
thoroughfares where strip commercial does not
already exist. Foothill Boulevard between Hellman
and 11crmosa is committed, but other segments of
Foothill are not.
How are service commercial space needs to be
met? By rule of thumb, about 250 acres will be
needed. One answer is the unified office /scrvice corn-
mercial "center" of which tite City now has two ex-
amplcs: Base Line Business Center and Vanguard
Industrial Park at Archibald and Sixth. Much of the
n:w acreage is proposed at the Devore Freeway inter- -
changes with Foothill and Base Line where businesses
can have the freeway visibility they want and also can
buffer residential areas from the freeway roar.
No study has been male of the market for
a
grouping of auto dealerships similar to the Riverside
Auto Center, but a 50-acre site on tite north side of
Foothill Boulevard at the Devorc Freeway is shown
as a possible location. If this site were pre- empted by
a regional shopping center (Alternative C), the auto
center could move to the south side of Foothill.
To take advantage of Ontario Airport expan-
sion, the Plan designates 40 acres for motels, res.
taurants, and similar traveler- related uses at Archi-
bald and Fourth.
Zoning regulations should separate commercial
service uses that may no; be compatible.

IND . ! _ iAL
Rancho Cucamonga currently has 10 industrial, research and development, ware-
housing, or distribution enterprises employing more than 100 persons. Products
of larger employers include snack foods, textiles, electronic equipment, concrete
pipe, and metnl cans.
Good freeway access, relatively low cost land, and ample industrial sewer capa-
city make Rancho Cucamonga an attractive industria— location. If Rancho Cuca-
monga maintains its current (13 to 23 percent) share of West Valley industrial
area employment, SCAG 1990 projections indicate a gain of 2,200 to 5,400 jobs.
At the current average of 10 employees per acre, 200 to 600 acres would be
occupied in addition to the 570 acres now in use. The 5,300 acres of industrial
area designated by the proposed Plan will accommodate 53,000 employees.
In the long run Rancho Cucamonga will attract more industry if high development
standards are maintained. This does not mean the City should welcome only
"industrial park" type plants surrounded by acres of lawn; but that high develop-
ment standards should be encouraged. Subdivision of industrial acreage must
follow a plan that considers access needs at full development, not just the
requirements of the first occupant.
At the time this document was prepared, the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Com-
merce, through its Industrial Committee, supports the concept of a more detailed
plan for the Industrial area.
It is the intent of the members of the committee and other i.nterestcd parties
to provide the financial support for this plan. Said funding is to be admin-
istered by the city, according to an agreed upon scope of work.
Specific planning would address issues such as traffic, access, development
standards, landscaping standards, drainage, specific uses. setbacks, special
boulevard treatment, etc., depending upon the specific nrc•n addressed. This
hind of planrning can'rafine land use relationships and deal more directly with
these issues at a more critical level than a General Plan :an. A specific
plan with accompanying industrial development standards can provide a unique
advantage to marketing properties.
The city encourages specific planning efforts in the industrial areas and
recognizes tho following proposed sub areas for study ns tentatively defined
by the Chamber Connnittee:
Sub -area "A ": Includes land presently used for mixed commerc' . residential
and industrial development. Its western boundary extends to : or Street and
its eastern to Haven Avenue. To the north it is bounded by At jw Highway and
to the,south by 4th Street.
al .
Sub -area "B ": includes land presently primarily vacant with existing
heavy industrial and probability of major office uses along Foothill Boulevard
and some forms of commercial. Boundaries are Foothill Boulevard on the north,
Fourth Street on the south, Haven Avenue on the west. and Devote Freeway on the
east.
Sub -area "C ": Includes land presently and primarily held by three large owners;
i.e. Ameron, Southern California Edison and Dow Chemical, although none o£ these
properties are totally developed at this time. Balance of land is in smaller
parcels, mostly industrial, some commercial on Foothill Blvd., and•a small non-
conforming housinoo tract, t:hich does have its nLm sewer plant. Bnundar'les are
Foothill Boulevard on the north, Fourth Street on the south, Devote Freeway on
the west and Hickory Street on the cast.
MINIM11.1 IMPACT INDUS'T'RY
This term is used instead of "light industry" to describe manufacturing and
distribution with no objectionable emissions, massive structures, unscreened
storage, or very heavy truck traffic. Minimum impact industrial areas (1,300
acres total) are west of Haven where many sites will border existing residential
development. walls, planted buffers, and separate traffic access wherever possible
should be used to reduce conflicts.
MAJOR INDUSTRY
This term is used instead of "heavy industry" to denote substantial impact, if
only by size, and does not necessarily indicate that nuisances are present. Some
major industries could if not mitigated cause vibration or have emissions, large
structures, unscreened storage, hazardous materials, and heave truck or rail traffic.
Major industrial areas shown oil the Plan total. 4,000 acres east of Haven.
Much thought has been given to ways of buffering major inchistry from nearby resi-
dential areas. Locating buffer uses (strip commercial ?) along; the industrial side
of the street would create some conflicts with industry and would constrict access
to it. In:;tend, the Plan proposes buffers limiting the use of portions of property
on both sides of streets separating industrial and residential uses. Oil Foothill
Boulevard, for example, both residential development to the north and industrial
development to the south should have landscaped buffers 3530 feet. This
would allow a 12 -foot high earth berm on the north, providing both a sight and
sound barrier. Use of the first 300 feet adjoining the landscaped buffer on the
industrial side should be limited to parking or offices, leaving 540 feet between
residential and industrial activities.
MIXED USE
This designatlon is proposed along nujor thoroughfares where apartments, offices,
and institutions (churches, convalescent homes, etc.) could offer relief from the
concrete block wall treatment without creating hazards or substantial traffic con-
gestion. Driveways should be 200 -300 feet apart, and sites should be large enough
to have parking that does not require backing; Into the street. In most instances,
only right turns into and out of parking areas should b. 11 owed. One reason for
not permitting retail development is to avoid the pre.:-. r a continuous' left
turn lane In the renter of the street. A planted median strip with U- turn`.slots
at 600 -700 foot intervals iv more attractive and safer.

AGRICULTURE
There is no evidence that commercial agriculture can be maintained in competi-
tion with urban uses. Much of the vineyard acreage, for which the area i-- noted,
has been abandoned, and new plantings are confined to a few acres. Some well-
cared -for citrus groves remain, and there are a few new plantings In north Alta
Loma, but citrus in Southern California long has had difficulty competing with
other parts of the state and nation. The area that appears to have the greatest
staying power is the portion of Etiwanda north of the proposed Foothill Freeway.
Although polls show that a large majority of Californians favor pro hibiting
development of prime agricultural land, the Legislature is unwilling to deprive
agriculturists of an opportunity to Convert to more profitable urban uses. Lower
assessments under the Williamson Act, never a potent force for preservation, have
even less appeal to agriculturists now because Proposition 13 reduces the poten-
tial for tax saving. The case for long -term retention of agriculture is much
stronger in other Southern California coninunitics, so no agricultural use is
shown vt the plan.
FLOOD CONTROL LARDS
Cucamonga, Demers, Deer, Day and East Etiwanda Creeks carry water from the San
Gabriel Mountains across the City, replenishing the water table and occasionally
flooding. •
The San Bernardino County Flood Control District owns land or has casements for
drainage channels, spreading grounds, and percolation basins. Most of the Dis-
trict's holdings are of little visual or recreational benefit now. Access would
be permitted if the City were willing to assume liability, but where recreational
development potential is very limited, City money might better be bent on other
open space.
..:...:..:
Engineers retained by landowners cast of Haven have suggested larger retention
basins upstream to avoid the need to handle high velocity flood flows in con-
Crete chanue'_s. However, the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the only agency with
potential funding for large projects, is developing the Cucamonga -Deer Creek
system with concrete channels in narrow rights of way. Design of the Day Creek
system will be based on observation of conditions after the Cueau:onga -Deer
Creek projret is complete. Concrete channels are not necessarily undesirable
when they do not replace an attractive natural stream. The narrow rtghts of
way they require do not provide "free" linear parks, but c:ui be part of. trail
systems. Spreading grounds can have visual and recreational use (see Chaffey
Regional Park proposal). Recreational use of percolation hasins is limited
by the widely fluctuating water level, but perbr.eter true planting could make
them an asset to the open space system.

J
i STUDY AREA
dusL of ELiwauda north of the Foothil ;. •uwav aligumunt and L'ne windrow area is
designated as study area because it I: .;.ote from urban services and need not be
developed in tine near future. The same designation is applied to five square
miles of gently sloping land,in the planning.area north of the City boundary
east of Chaff ey Regional Park. There is plenty of land in the City to the
south and west to mr.intain a competitive housing market during the next decade,
so there is not public benefit in approving leapfrog development.
If the Etiwanda windrow subdivision pattern gains market acceptance, it will
set expectations for dcvelormtent to thL north and cast. At the cast edge of
the planning area, unknown land requirement. for f1M(t rontrnl Fygro_ms yet to
be designed and uncertainty about future development nearby in Fontana (which
currently is reviewing its General Plan) all argue for a nnn -urban designation
on a General Plan to be adopted in 1978.
The Plan designates this reserve area primary because it is remote from urban
services and teed not be developed In the near future•. Furthermore, there is
lack of information about ownership; i.e, the size of holdings and utilities,
environmental constraints, etc. Furthermore, there Is concern about the
ability of the city to exert any control over development north of the city
boundary especially since the sphere of influence issue has not been resolved
and will not be resolved until after the adoption of the land use element. It
must be pointed out that there is no marked change In topography at the city
boundary, therefor::, the development rorth of the city limits raises the Issue
of compatibility with land use within the city limits. No refinement in delinea-
tion of land use may be made at this time with these unlatown factors.
It seems obvious that the land use will be residential but Vetter environmental
data is needed before any approvals are granted and there should be assurances
that there will be a large enough community built over a short time to support
the cost of providing services to such a development. 'therefore, in the interim
only large parcels should be allowed. This means that any zoning established
for this aroa should reflect larger parcels. This helps insure that there is
no premature conversion to urban densities until the environmental and fiscal
impacts of development can lie assessed in this area. it should be noted that any
growth mannF,cment policies may determine the time and con(Iltions of development
approval for the arezx�anyn:ay. An assessment district for ::n area large enough
to support schools, parks and shopping might he considered providing that this
would meet the value orientations of property owners and residents in the Eti-
wanda area. This approach requires initiative on the property owners part and
commitment to financially support needed studies.
Therefore, this study area will be prodominat.ly lower density rceidential uses

FACILITIES
(Proposer' for Adoption)
SCHOOLS
Rancho Cucamonga includes nearly all the developable land in four elementary
school districts and is in Chaffey Joint Union High School District which also
serves Ontario, Upland, and Montclair. Unless new state legislation provides
fundr for school construction, limited classroom space may contro: the rate of
growth in Rancho Cucamonga. Enrollments in the Alta Loma, Central, and Chaffey
13igh Schcol districts excC2d current Capacity, and tliec Wily bvurce of funds
now available to add seats is temporary impact fees being collected from developers.
irJSt California metropolitan area school districts in cities that had building
booms 10 to 30 years ago now have vacant classrooms. No one can predict birth
rates, but experience has bcen that as housing grows older, the average age of
th° occupnrts (original or new) increases. Rancho Cucamonga subdivisions occupied
within the. last five years probably generate higher ptiblic school enrollments than
they will in the future. Rather than using current student- pce- i:ousehold ratios,
the Plan's school proposals are based on State Department of Finance projections
of San Bernardino County population by age group in 2000. Table footnotes explain
the assumptions. Even with these "low" projections, full development will require
two additional high schools, and 16 -17 elementary, intermediate, or junior high
schools .
C11AFFEY JUNIOR COLI.EGF,
There are no plans to expand Chaffey Junior College, 'which has reached 90 percent
of its site capacity of 9,700 students. District pol icy is to build a second
campus in the Corona /Norco area. As urbaui.zation places additional pressures upon
the College facility, the College ohould be encouraged to conduct further studies
of the college environs to determine the hest needs of the school.
PARKS AND OPLX SPACE
RECIONAL OPEN SPACE LAND
Chaffey Regional Park, a proposal shown on the plan, is bcing considered by the
Regional Parks Advisory Commission and the County Regional Parks Department. It
would occupy several hundred acres of the County Flood Control District's Deer and
Day Creek spreading grounds. To preserve the present flood control functions,
park development would be limited to riding and hiking trails and overnight camp-
sites not accessible by automobile.
Other natural open space areas that may be nude available for public use, depending
or. whether funds are available to acquire access rights or assurme liability, are
power line easements, steep slopes (mainly north of the City boundary) and ravines.
INTENSIVE USE REGIONAL PARKS
Cccamonga•Guasti Regional Park just north of the Snn Bernardino Freeway offers
swimuning, boating, fishing, and picnicking. The Coturty Regional Parks Depart -
went hopes to extend it north to Fourth Street and cast to MIMI Avutue.
A 200 -acre urban regional park, entit Different In function from either
the existing or proposed County park, shown in the vicinity of Haven
and Baseline. The park should be a focal point- for the City and should
include playfield,,, aygrounds, picnic areas, tennis courts, an outdoor
assembly or perfomu;..g arts area, and a golf course. An IS -hole golf course
requires 125 acres or more, so the 200 acres will be intensively used.
Currently, the County does not offer si;nilar urban regional park facilities
in the West Valley. Because a 200 -acre urban park will draw many users from
outside Rancho Cucamonga, it would be appropriate to seek the County's finan-
ci.al participation in park development.
COMMUNITY PARKS
Parks of 20 -40 acres :avily used and are a more efficient investment than
small neighborhood park_ ..ajoining each elementary school. In addition to
recently acquired 40 -acre Iierltage Park in north Alta Loma at Beryl and Hill-
side., the Plan proposes 20 -acre parks on Archibald north of Vaseline, on Archi-
bald adjoining Central School, and In Etiwanda. The scarcity of sites west of
Haven makes it important to reserve sites between Foothill and 19th c=oon. Com-
munity parks should provide swimming, tennis, picnicking, playgrounds, and large
playfields, and indoor recreation facilities.
La Mancha Colf Course and Driving Range at Arrow Route and haven should bo
retained in Lhat use under private ownership if possible, or public owner -
ship if necessary.
NEIGHBORHOOD FARKS
Four additional 6 to 10 acre neighburliood parks are proposed: three in Cuca-
monga south of Arrow Route, and one cast of the Devore Frceway. In each case
the distance to a community park is excessive, or there are barriers which
' would discourago bicyclists.
CIVIC CEMER
More than most cities Rancho Cucamonga needs a civic cents as a symbol of the
unity of thrcc communities that also take pride in their vparato identities.
Alternative:, A and B show sites adjoining the rogional center, while Alternative
C locates the civic center on the 13 acre parcel at Haveo and Foothill Boulevard
that includes the Virginia Date IdAiery. The winery facade facing Foothill should
be preserved as the single most prominent architectural relic of Rancho Cucamonga's
;past, whatever the use of this corner.
The civic center could consist of a cerntral. City office building (with or without
fire and police stations on the. same site) or it could include offices of other
governmenral agencies, and a library, museum, and theater (indoor and /or outdoor).
The Library and Community Service building on Baseline inherited by the City are
unlikely to be duplicated in the near future.
FIRE PR01'L•CITION
The plans of the Foothill Fire District, which is nearly co- terrdnous: with the
.'' City, have- been incorporated in the Ilan. Three new stations o:1.11 be
sc r needed, and the exisLing station on San Bernardlao Rond SIMUld be relocated to
4* the - vicinity -of Arrow Route and Hellman.

CIRCULATION
(Proposed forAdop =ion)
Tile proposed interim circulation plan is meant to provide a working frannework
from which to be.-in to develop the final circulation system within the City.
This clement has been developol in conjunction with efforts of the County I,rans-
portation Department to model traffic in the area and builds on the origi•.utl
County :faster Plan of Highways.
The proposed plan dea.'.s with basically two extry -mv].y divor;,.•at land ii.4c reaLities
and must be flexible enough td deal with three separate potential urlsan centers
focusing activity at different portions of th,• City.
Rancho Cucamonga ltns inherited a grid street system with major thoroughfares at
mile intervals and secondary thoroughfares at the intermediate half mile points.
This system has proved to be a serviceable sy;;t.!m in ?ntablishrd communities
throughout tile- country. The system, although not fully develc.ped is firmly
established in the portion of the city west of Haven Avenue. In this area the
plan fairly well follows the established TilaStOr plan system with t I I e inclurrikill
of special boulevard treatments on Archibald Avcuuu, Poath.l.l Boulevard and
Baseline.
llte portion-of the Cityslying east of Haven Avenue has ant Cl:; yet been committed
to a firmly established land use pattern. I'll(- interiv Land !15e Element delineates
three alternative urban centers focused on the attrartiou of a major regional
commercial and business center. The ultimate lncatlon of this center will have
significant impact upon circulation throughout the enui lunity and particularly
Within the eastern half of the City. 'file interim circulation c.levicnt for this
area must therefore he considered as only a b;u =i framo%work and should b,• further
refined with d,velopment or as a part of a rcfi.ud circulation study focusing on
cacti of the re,;:onal center -Atcrnatives.
A similar policy of refinement should be maintained for the primary industrial
areas, which me mostly vacant at this ti.mr- Major industrial uses involve
potential for large land use commitments :,nd significant traffic generation
involving regional traffic patterns.
CIRCULATION DESIGN GLGMBNTS
Recent County policy attempted to limit access
with intersection spacing in residr,ntinl areas
h�-a required -cons tructi oil of a co,icretc blorl:
-?I-
oil major and ; ;eeondary thoroughfares
closer than one - quarter mile Ind
-,::ill alonr, tba thoroughfare. 'the
r,.
walls demand less maintenance than fens r planting, and they rcauce nolse and
offer, some flood protection. Safety Lw.. traffic capacity are hiproved by eli-
minating turns and driveways, and by discouraging pedestrians. '.7hese are valid
reasons and the policy of limited access shall be maintained, but a "walled city"
will be terribly boring, even if landscaping is generous (as on Mountain Avenue
in Upland). Cul -de -sacs with turn - grounds at the edge of the: thoroughfares are
an improvement and have been used at several locations. Frontage roads are
costly and create traffic problems where they join the major thoroughfare. The
proposed Plan solution to development of major thoroughfare frontage is mixed uses
(apartments, offices, institutions) having few driveways.
Where there is commercial development on four ar six -Lane thoroughfares, County
practice has been to paint a continuous, two- directional, left -turn lane, alloding
safe left turns to all driveways. The resulting, 80 -foot expanse of pavement is
ugly and intimidating to the pedestrian. idhem strip commercial development has
not already created the demand for a continuous turn lane, the City has the oppor-
tunity to require a landscaped median with turn slots at cross streets, or U -turn
slots at appropriate intervals.

CIKCCIAT10% MAST111 Plj %N ?11iNTS
Freeway
The Foothill Freeway is shown with separations and
interchanges at cross streets designated in the exist.
ing freeway agreement. The need for the freeway is
clear, but the days when miles of buildings we .
cleared to construct a freeway are gone forever, so
is vital to protect the right of wa; until construction
is funded.
Special Boulevards
(Normally 120 -foot right of way; Jour or six lanes)
Landscaping to provide distinct identity for six major
thoroughfares (Archibald, Havers, Milliken. Eti-
wanda Avcnue, Foothill Boulevard, and Base Line)
will be partly within the usual 120 -toot right of way
and partly within required setbacks. Wider right of
way inav he m•trted at some le ations, but acquisition
or subdivided land is not proposed. Detailed plans
setting design standards should be prepared for each
special boulevard.
Major Thoroughfares
(Normally /20 foot right of way; four or six lanes)
Landscaped median strips should be standard. In
ddition to the special bot'lcvards, major thorough-
fares are Vineyard- Carnelian, \Vilson cast of Haven,
and Fourth Street.
Secondary Thoroughfares
(Normally 88 0,- )P: foot right of way with four lanety
Depending on traffic volume acid !urn» ng move-
ments, a 104 -foot right of way can have a land -
scapcd median or a 60 -foot curb -to -curb width that
would allow 22 feet of landscaping between the carb
and the property line. Secondary thoroughfares are
Grove, Rochester, Last, 19th, Church (part ;; Arrow
Route, 7th, and \Vilson (part).
Collector Streets
(56 to 66-foot right of o•:- with two Tanis)
Collectors are intended only to carry nt•ighborhood
traffic to the nearest thoroughfare and can have
pavement widths 4 to 9 feet narrower than the 41 feet
the County has required. Streets serving fcwcr than
50 homes can be as narrow as 32 fe.t (two lanes,
parking one side), or even 20 feet on hillsides (one
lane opposite a p ;irked mr)'•'
Transit
OMN1 now has two bus lines serving Rancho Cuca.
monga. Luses run only once an hour and attract
mainly those who have no other choice. A target of
five percent of all trips on transit is ambitious as long
as fuel for private automobiles is available. By locat-
ing more apartments along major thoroughfares, the
General flan helps increase potential patronage.
Bikeways, Equestrian Trails
Emphasis should be on developing safe bike routes to
schools, recognizing that cyclists will not accept
longer or steeper routes to avoid automobile traffic.
Work should be started on an equestrian trails
plan. Hotse owners must take the lead, requesting
coopciation by the Cily. A fair method of apportion-
ing development and maintenance costs arrong
owners of horses and /or property owners in horse -
oriented developments will be needed.
Power Pansmisslor,.
Power transmi >sion lines already dominate portions
of the City, and more will be built. Southern Calif.
ornia Edison has acquired a 330 -Toot right of way for
a north -south 500 KV line loco fcci east of the exist-
ing 200 KV line bordering the Day Creek Flood Con-
trol Channel. The separation is required for safety,
but a better location and shorter route would be
along the Devote Freeway where the easement would
provide a buffer. Application for approval• of the
route has not yet been made to the Public Utilities
Commission, but the City should work to relocate
the line before new- rirlit of way acquisition becomes
more difficult.

CA RYING OUT THE
INTERIM P 1-A N
(Proposed =' Adoption)
Decisions O All
Adoption of the interimeplan #IYe$
that includes alternative
land use proposals for a large part of a city is not a
usual practice, but one that increases the probability
that Rancho Cucamonga will develop a strong focus.
Approval of any development proposal that would
affect the viability of Alternative A. B, or C will
require a Plan amendment. This calls for
careful consideration of whether the importance to
the City of a project that is ready to an ahead now is
worth forcolosing major options for the future.
Plan amendments in other areas are likely, and
often will be necessary to maintain the plan as a cur-
rent expression of the City's policies.
Development Regulations
The City's next planning priority after adoption of
the Plan will be preparation of a new zoning
ordinance. Because the County':: ordinance (now in
usc) was written to cover the variety of conditions in
the nation's largest county, it is not well suited to
Rancho Cttcamonga's particular problems. The new
ordinance not only will simplify approval procedures
but will propose more stringent standards and design
review. Types o v„anges needed to carry out the
this text. Plan arc indicated in preceding portions of
The City's subdivision ordinance and develop-
ment fee schedule also may need review. lack of
alternative revenue sources since passage of Proposi-
ren 13 makes it necessary to charge a new develop -
ment for all or a large share of the cost of public
facilities needed to serve it (parks, fire projection,
major - accts, utilities, ctc.).
Design Standards
As a new city that i, less than half developed, Rancho
Cu�amongNhas the opportunity to upgrade design
standards and to build a superior community. The
mistakes of the past arc all too evident, so there
should be no presumption`flia't regulations used in
;
r -
the County or in adjoining cities will be acceptable.
The first two or three major projects approved
by the new City will be critical, because they win
establish standards for future projects and most tie -
vclopers then will design to the City's demonstrated
expectations. In setting design standards the public
benefit or each requirement must be carefully
measured against the private cost, so that unreason-
able costs are not imposed and relatively inexpensive
changes cult be insisted upon. The widely varying
quality of design of nationally franchised food and
other retail establishments proves that any city can
have good design if it wants it.
Standards to be incorporated in the new zoning
ordinance or to be used as the basis for design review
may differ in cash of the three communities or on.
each of the spccird boul-,vards,
Historic Preservation
In a community that will be developed over a short
period of time, the two or three dozen notable build-
ings that link it to its agricultural past are particularly
valuable. Some have architectur al merit; some
mainly arc curiosities, and some arc of importance
because they remain in r_,e as wineries. An ordinance
should be prepared the t will establish a process for
designating important structures, set priorities for
preservation, and enable the City to withhold a
demolition permit for a stipatated period to allow all
means of preservation to he ex,,Iored. In a few eases,
preservation may be feasible onlf if commercial uses
that would not normally be peltnilted on ilea site are
authorized. Provisions in the new zoning ordin
designed to cop ance
e wi th this Fro must be carefully
written to prevent misuse ar adverse impacts on sur-
rounding propertics. Sorre old buildings have little or
no Citywide importance. Only a few can be per-
mitted uses not allowed on adjoining properties, so a
process for desi;•n,ntinE buildings or heri-
tage uses with Il a highest priority for
preservation is essential and should be
prepared as part of the Hic:toric Preserva-
Lion Element of the Gen0ral Plan. Addi-
tionally, there are special historical
areas such as wlneryts, that will have to
he carefully studied as a mix") conruercial
usage area with purr -,able provisions for
restaurants and r.=�ai1 wine gales sllops.
ailed Development
ns
Development plans for each of the special boalc-
vards should be prepared as soon as possible; new
street improvement �randards should be adopted,
afid specific plans s'.• : be established or revised to
= gresmc future We, .. os or way. Windrows adjoin -
ing streets need to be evaluated to determine whether
specific plans should include them in rights of way,
or whether they must be replaced by new trees that
could be at a different location.
Many of the land use proposals of the
Plan should be kept general until development is
immiacrit. Preparation and Ciry adoption of specific
plans for large landholdings may seem to offer assur-
ance of goon planning, but it entails some risks and
should be use•i with caution. Where a project will ex-
tend over a long period, the probability is high that
market demand, pnhlic taste, and City pcilicics will
change. An adopted specific plan is viewed by many
as a vested right to approval of tentative subdivision
maps that conform to -he plan, although the City
clearly has the authority to amcrid the specific plan.
On the other hand, the specific plan process will
enable the City to take a careful look at development
alternatives and their consequences and can provide a
framework for streamlined project review and en-
vironrr.entai assessment.
Financing Public
Improvements
It is too soon after Proposition 13 to foresee how or
whether there will be means of financing public im-
provcntents necessary to build a fine city in
California. Most major park systems, civic centers,
libraries, and other cultural facilities have been
financed with general obligation bonds paid from
property taxes, a source no longer available. fees
charred for new development can make up part, but
not all, of the difference.
Growth Management
A number of California cities have directly or in-
directly limited their annual growth rate, contending
that public facilities cannot be expanded rapidly
cnourh to s-rvc higher rates, or that costs would bc.
excessive. Whether or not the rate of growth is con-
trolled, the location of growth affects public costs.
=` Already Rancho Cucamonga has widely scattered de-
vclopment• Studies should be made to determine
whether service cons or adequacy of services that can
be provided differ significantly according to the
location of development. Projects at costly locations
should not be approved, or the dcscloper should
guaraotcc any additional cost.
Sphere of Influence
Upland, Ontario, and Fontana hound Rancho Cuca-
nwnga on three sides. North of the City the planning
area includes a one to two -mile band of unincorpor-
ated territory extending to the boundary of San Der-
nardino National Forest. Rancho Cucamonga has a
vital interest in the future of this environmentally
sensitive area. If the County will enact adequate
development controls, it may not be necessary for the
City to annex this land, but annexation would pro -
vide grew' ^r assurance. The Local Agency Formation r
COmmissit3,4, a state mandated committee of city'
and county officials that Iran the authority to establish
spheres of influence within which a city may annex,
rx.,•..
currently is considering a boundary for Rancho
Cucamon ga's sphere.

Regular Meeting
CALL TO ORDER
The regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
was held at the Community Services Building, 9161 Baseline Rcid, Rancho Cuca-

of 19th and Archibald.
- The development of a
on the northwest corner
Jack Lim reported the Commission at ita October 19, 1978 meeting, reviewed the
proposed General. Plan in regard to the number of neighborhood shopping centers .;t
the intersection of 3.9th Street and Archibald. The proposed General Plan presently shows
one center on the northeast corner which hae recently been constructed. It was the
Commissions recommendation that it was•poor planning practice to allow additional shop-
ping centers at this intersection as there are several other centers existing and under
construction which can more than adequately serve this area. Due to the fact the Com-
mission did make a decision recognizing residential rather than commercial uses on
this corner, the law requires t:.at the proposed use will not have a reasonable poten-
tial of being consistent with the proposed general plan. The Commission should deny
the application with the findings.
Chairman Rempel asked the Commission for questions of Staff.
Stan Tomlinson, representing Vanir Development Co., asked that they be given the
opportunity to make a presentation of their site plan.
Ted Hopson, City Attorney, stated under government code, unless the Commission is pre-
pared to make a finding that there is reasonable probability that the land use proposeed
will be consistent with the adopted general plan proposal, it would be academic heating
the matter at this time and would tend to cloud the reasons for denial.
Commissioner Garcia asked under due process, if the Commission should grant the appli-
cant a hearing regardless of what recommendation has taken place on the General Plan.
Mr. Hopson stated that the applicant is not being denied due process.
Commissioner Garcia asked if the applicant was advised of the circumstances of the
situation at the time they requested to be agendized.
Mr. Lam stated the applicants were given the option of withdrawing, continuing or
having it held before the Commission knowing it meant automatic denial. The Planning
Division did not get any respense; therefore, this Conditional Use Permit was placed
on this Agenda.
Commissioner Garcia stated lie feels the applicant was hoping to be heard tonight with
the idea that the Commission might change their mind regarding the General Plan for
this area.
Mr. Tomlipson stated that they are prepared to give a good presentation on their
proposed development which might alter the Commissian's previous decision.

Mr. Lam stated in order for the Commission to review the site .plans for this
development, the Commission would need to reverse its decision on the general
plan first.
Chairman Rempel stated under those conditions, if the Commission desires to discuss
reconsideration, it should be brought up under the General Plan section of the Agenda.
He indicated that a decision has been made on this area and he would not like the
decision to be changed at this time.
A Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy, and unani-
mously carried to continue this item until after Tcem F, the Rancho Cucamonga pro-
posed General Plan, is reviewed.

Michael `o.rin, Assoc iat6�Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail. He reported
the Generpi Plan indicates major industry for the area. The proposed zone change is
consistent with the proposed general plan and the site is suitable in size and shape
to accommoLate the uses permitted in the proposed zone. The uses in said zone are
compatible e'.:h adjacent land uses and future development In the immediate area.
Approval of Re:colution No. 78• -28 was recommended and such recommendation be forwarded

Site Approval No. 78 -03 - Ed Young` The development of a nursery/day care facility
to be located at 9817 Baseline - F -1 zone.
Commissioner Dahl excused himself at this time as he stated he is a friend of the
applicant.
Michael Vairin, Planning Assistant., reviewed the staff report in detail. Engineering
and Planning Division Staf £s,have been working with Mr. Young to improve his plan by.
providing street improvements, more parking, and a single access. Staff has recom-
mended revisions to which the applicant has agreed. Ile indicated as there can be only
10 parking spaces provided on the site, the facility must be limited to the care of
forty children to meet parking regm:rements. Staff recommends that the Planning Com-
mission, following the public hearing, approve the Site Approval based on the findings
and conditions listed in Resolution No. 78 -30.
Chairman Rempel asked for questions, from the Commission to the staff.
Mr. Vairin stated Staff would like to recommend that Condition 1716 be amended as
follows: That any signs be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division prior
to installation and all existing signs on and off site shall be removed.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the pool area is fenced.
Mr. Vairin stated yes, the south portion has o block wall and the other portions are
enclosed by a 6' grape stake wood fence which appeared to be nonclimbable from
the outsidL,.
Commis_ . -iner Tolstoy asked if the proposed play yard fencing is proposed as a block
wall r.• chain link fence.
Mr. Vairin stated they are proposing to use the existing fenuirg which is presently
wood. The commercial center to tie west will be building a block wall and he is
planning a block wall for the southerly portion at a later date. The yard will all
j be entirely fenced now but will not all be block will until sometime in the future.
Commissioner Garcia asked for an explanation from the Engineering Division regarding
the street improvements.
Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, stated Baseline is one of our major arterial streets.
East of Archibald it has been widened. The development of a shopping center by
Diversified Development Company on the corner of Archibald and Baseline will widen
the street on the south side to the master plan width. If no improvements are made
at the site in question, it will create an island. It is vital that this situation
is taken care of in order to prevent a hazardous situation. Normally, the applicant
would be required to improve the street. The applicant indicated that he can not stand
the financial burden. If iiri +ravement is a condition he will drop his application and
not do anything at this time. If that were the case, the City would probably be forced
to purchase the land for that portion and provide the street improvements with city
funds. Therefore, we have chosen to work our a compromise with the applicant and
the adjacent shopping center, whereby the cost of the street improvements can be
shared three ways. This will be .subject to approval of the City Council. The alter-
native is to have the applicant provide full improvements or modify assessment to
loan him and pay back over a five year period. The way the condition is written in
the Resolution requires the applicant to participate in the improvements, allow either .
item of assessment district or sharing by the City. Thr applicant may wish to speak
regarding this issue.
Mr. Young, appplicant, states lie is quite Happy with the presentation submitted to this
point. ur� would like to request that the pupil limitation be increased to 48 instead
of 40 children required by the Planning Division. lie does not feel they would have
a parking problem because the majority of the people coming in do not stay for any
length of time.
There being no further comments from the audience, Chairman Rempel closed the
public hearing.
Commissioner Garcia asked if the City Engineer has an estimate of the street improve-
ment costs.
Lloyd Hubbs estimated $5,000 total for the street frontage.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked If the request to increase the number of children on the
site would be up to the County Licensing Agency.
Mr. Vairin stated the reason staff limited the facility to 40 children is because of
parking ratio. If more children were allowed, this would be in conflict with ordi-
nance requirements for parking.
Chairman Rempel stated he would not be in favor of allowing more childr:... unless the
parking is increased.
City Attorney stated that to vary from the parking requirements allowed by ordinance,
it would take a Variance which would require another public hearing.
After further discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Tolstoy, seconded, by Com-
missioner Garcia and unanimously carried to approve Resolution No. 78 -30 with the follow-
ing additions and changes:
1. Engineering Condition #3 - Add the word "water ". The condition should read:
The property should not gather water by artificial means and discharge it
onto (lower) properties in greater concentration than would naturally be
M; discharged.

2. Amend Condition 916 as follows: That any signs be reviewed and approved by
the Planning Division prior to installation and all existing signs on and off
site be removed.
3. Planning Division recommendation 011 amended as follows: That the parking
lot improvements such as paving, striping and 6" raised concrete curbs be
installed at the time of street improvements. The remaining improvements
such as landscaping and exterior building elevations shall be installed by

The Rancho Cucamonga_ Proposed General Plan_
1. Chaffey College Presentation
2. Remaining Individual Concerns
11
Jack Lam stated it was anticipated from'the previous meetings that tonight would be
the last meeting for the land use element with a rap up and a recommendation forwarded
to the City Council. The Commission has been working on the General Plan since April,
and has conducted numerous public hearings since that time. Luring the last couple of
months the Commission has been hearing individual concerns from developers and property
owners. After a certain period of consideration, the Commission slivuld develop a
specific recommendation to the Council so that they can conduct their public hearings
and adopt the plan as soon as possible. Staff has received a number of concerns regarding
the draft Environmental Impact Report and time is now needed to properly integrate some
of these cotm.ents into the draft EIR. This draft EIR can be brought back to the Commis-
sion at the n "t regular meeting on November 22, 1978 at which time the Commission may
consider adoption, and formulate a final recommendation to the Council. lie suggested
that the Commission consider tonight as the last meeting to t'eview individual agen-
dized concerns otherwise these discussions could continue forever. The Commission has
made great efforts in conducting numerous meetings. If the Commission concurs, a state-
ment of concurrence should be made to agendize that meeting as the last formal public
hearing at the Commission level.
Commissioner Garcia asked if the Sign Ordinance and Growth Management are also going to
be discussed at the meeting of November 22, 1978.
Mr. Lam stated those items need further review before being scheduled. Regarding Growth
Management, the Coranission is to meet with the school district, R.X.A., and other utili-
ties to discuss the whole issue of school problems and growth management. This meeting
is scheduled for November 21, 1978 at the Central School District Board Room from
5 to 7 p.m. Regarding the Sign Ordinance, the Chamber of Commerce has given Staff some
input and we need time to revise the draft in order that it can be available for the
public hearing. Regarding the General Plan, Jack Lam stated John Blayney is present
at the meeting and can answer any questions the Commission might have concerning the
proposed general plan.
It was the concensus of-the Commission that the November. 22, 1978 meeting he the last
meeting in which 1:0 discuss individual agendi.zed items concerning the land use element.
CRAFFEY COLLEGE PRESENTATION
Jack Lam stated the College has communicated a disagreement with the higher density
surrounding the College as shown on the proposed land use element. After the Commis-
sion discussed this, they modified its position and made a motion for medium density
residettial rather than high density residential near the college. Since that time,
there has been some question as to whether or not the college is in agreement with
the medium density residential. The Staff position in regard to land use around the
college is that, as a public facility in a community, any character of land use may be
successful if properly planned and adverse impacts mitigated through proper development
control. This means that the Commission should determine what kind of character a com-
munity college should have in Rancho Cucamonga. This then is a major policy issue, one
which the Commission should decide after all input has been received regarding the
subj ect.

Chairman Rempel opened -thc'public hearing. �.
Mr. Catanzaro, President of Chaffey College, stated he concurs with Mr. Lam.
There are several levels at the. college and therefore some of the opinions expressed
by the spokespersons at the college may differ to some degree. He stated the Board
of Trustees has adopted a resolution at which.time tho Board took no position regarding
the specific development of land contiguous to the College. He read the Resolution in
detail for the Commission which states "Chaffey College supports the principle of a well
thought out and documented general plan for Rancho Cucamonga based o, till elements
necessary for the. development of a plan including traffic, seismic, pub3ic safety,
_fire, flood and a proper impart report. Because of the available
expertise at Chaffey College and the location of the College within the boundaries
of Rancho Cucamonga, the college should take an active rove in the planning of the
community. Chaffey College is directly affected•h-i the development of the land adja-
cent to the campus. The college should be consulted and have a voice in the decision
making process prior to the development of the land. Any adverse effects of such
development of these lands should be mitigated prior La- :ievelopment."
Dr. Hartley, Ph.D., Chairman of the Chaffey College Faculty Senate, stated there
has been confusion as to what the College wants. The Faculty Senate is the elected
official representative of the entire faculty of the college. Therefore, the proposal
he is presenting this evening is the official. proposal of the faculty of the college.
During the last two months, the faculty at the college has undertaken a careful study
of the possible alternative land use patterns around the campus. Through meetings with
the staff and Commission, they feel they have been given the opportunity to express
their concerns. The faculty recognizes their responsibility and obligation to provide
time, efforts, and expertise to the city in any way they can to help bring about the
most beneficial development of the city. The community has the right to expect insti-
tutions of higher education to express concerns for the natural state of the land and
to speak In favor or protecting the community from natural and artificial hazards. lie
stated the Faculty Senate proposes the following recommendation concerning land use in
the area adjacent to the college campus. The property to the east should reflect
natural open space in this area which would preserve a natural corridor from.the College
to the Chaffey Rep.onal Park. The use of the properties north, west and south, within.
2,000 feet of th- college should be residential, very low density for numerous reasons
which he reviewed for the Commission (Letter on file in the Planning Division). They
feel higher density, development would pose burdensome security problems and would require
additional expenditures for security serv'ces and fencing. It would create detrimental
usage of the College grounds and increased vandalism. It would increase traffic around
the college requiring upgrading of streets and signals. It would pose heavy demand
and usage of open lands east of the College that should be preserved. Also, heavier
development would not be in the best interest of community safety due to large concen-
trated population in the proximity of the Red Hill fault located immediately south of
the college campus.
i
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if Mr. Dickey of the College could show us where the Red
Hill Fault is located.
F Mr. Dickey, Professsor of ,Geology at the College, reviewed the.Red Hill Fault for the
Commission.
Jack .Lam stated in terms nf.gcologic hazards, no thorough investigation has been made_
at this time. Information concerning faults not recognized oa the constraints map should
y: be indicated so tlutt proper studies can be made if a proposal is,submitted near or around
this area.
�:' -8-
.Chairman Rempel stated as far as noise, it has beer found that the higher density
housing has less an impact as far as noise then the lower densities.
Commissioner Dahl stated lie is concerned about the statement made regarding the
security aspect of the college. lie does not know that medium density residential
areas are more subject to vandalism than very low density residential.
Dr. Hartley stated this is an isolated, suburban campus which has kept their security
to a complete minimum. As the population. is increased, the greater the impact is
going to be on the campus.
Commissioner Dahl stated there is apartment, type complexes around the Mt. Sac College
which services the college. This is a community college similar to Chaffey College.
He asked if there is a possibility that medium density residential would better be
able to serve this college.
Dr. Hartley stated in their studies indicate that high density housing that might
go in will price students out of the market. When brand new units are developed,
there is a good liklihood they will be very expensive units. The population of
the community college students has changed. Their studies indicate the majority of
the students are in their middle 20's, most of them married and already live in
houses. They are not potential apartment dwellers. He stated they would like to
do everything possible to keep the campus open for public use. They are afraid
medium or above densities will preclude them from leaving the facility open to the
community.
Chairman Hempel stated he doesn't feel this area is good for low density residential.
It is an area that should be. developed residentially because it can not be used for
farm land due to its poor quality.
Dr. Hartley stated their goal is to ask the Commission to adopt a level of density in
keeping with how the campus was built and planned.
Commissioner Garcia asked what is the projection of student population in the next ten
years.
Dr.. Hartley stated the-current population is approximately 1.0,000 students; the poten-
tial growth is easily twice that amount. However, this is just his estimato of what
could happen.
Marta Duma, Biology student at Chaffey College, stated it is her opinion medium to
high density development would increase access to this land thereby causing damage
to flora and fauna, some of it br!Ing rather rare. If the campus is slightly isolated,
then parents or adult supervision is required where groups visit the campus as they
would need to provide transportation for the children.. If medium *or high density
development Is allowed, the children could come to the campus without supervision and
therefore uccrrity would. have to he increased. She stated she would like to see the
j area low density residential. or less. preferably she would like to see a green belt
but would be willing to compromise and see low density housing around the campus.
Bob Smith stated he lives on Hillside about one mile from Chaffey College. He stated
the City officials were elected to stop the run away growth that the County Supervisors
were allowing. They do not want this City to be another San Bernardino Valley or, Orange
County. Streets and schools are now below adequacy for the population here 'at the present
time. His opinion is that high density or anything above low density is going against
'.!chat would be best for the community.
i
Peter Tolley, Alta `.oma; "stated he has talkeu W people who live in Corona and
Norco who attend Chaffey College. They have indicated they would not live near
the college as they feel it would be too expensive. They feel it is cheaper to
drive to Chaffey. He does not feel apartment development would be good for the
area.
Chairman Rempel stated he would like to clarify that the Land Use Element does
not now show high density development for this area, but medium density. That
merms 5 to 15 units per acre. The zoning map which will be developed later can
zone ti'..' area from low density up to 15 units per acre.
!'eter Tolley stated he does not feel medium density development would service
the community in this area as people will not live in that area to go to college.
Mr. Vito Francisco, Attorney for Jack Sylvester who owns 75 acres on the northeast
corner of Haven and Highland below the college stated the .area. from Highland to
the mountains is worthless from the standpoint of farming. This area is very rocky
soil. Mr. Sylvester's position ir that the highest and best use of this property
is for a shopping center site and if not then for high density type dwellings with
mixed use along Highland and Haven Avenues and high density housing in the rear
of the property.
Mr. Sylvester stated at the time he bought the 75 acres on the northeast corner of
Highland and Haven, the Foothill Freeway map indicated that corner was to be an
off ramp. The people that sold the property to him had received a shopping center
permit which they didn't activate. This would be a natural place for a shopping center•
to service all those people at Chaffey College. lie stated one of tite biggest shopping
center developer: in the a-j rld has had his property under option for a regional center
for the past 9 months. They still. have it under option and they don't take options
until they have made certain studies as to feasibility and his option is based on that
feasibility study, lie was told the reason John Blayney modif ied'the general plan for
his property was hased primarily on the proposed taking of about 12 acres for the Foot-
hill Freeway. lie has authorized his lawyer to take legal action against Caltranc and
the County to find out once and for all if the Foothill Freeway is going to take place
or not..
Commissioner Tolstoy -asked Mr. Sylvester how far north does this property extend.
Mr. Sylvester stated they go tip to Lemon Avenue.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated the property under consideration at this time is north
of Lemon Avenue'.
Mr. Jerry Levitz stated they own 7 J/2 ncres at the northwest corner of Lemon and
Haven. The map shows mixed use. They have property between Haven and Hermosa'
south of Wilson. That property is being proposed as low density which means 1.5
or 1.6 to the acre. He stated If this is indicated for this property, they will
have to build $150,000 houses. This is not affordable housing next to a college..
They feel the area at the corner of Lemon and Haven would allow for affordable
housing.
-10-
�w =7'•A
Mrs. Kathryn Bridge, Altin-Loma, stated they have tried to get Haven Avenue a.. a t.
scenic highway leading to the college. She asked that the Commission and staff do a
specific design plan for Chaffey with the idea of avoiding problems that Dr. Hartley
mentioned earlier.' The traffic developed for medium density won't be good for the
students. Vle medium density would generate traffic going out from the area at
the same time students are coming into the area.
Commissioner Garcia stated he would like to hear from the consultant regarding this
is sue.
Mr. John Blayney, Consultant, stated the very low density which means half acre or
larger lots, occupies a zather large section of the community now. This is housing
affordable by a small segment of the community. The higher density was put around
the college because it was felt some students would live in apartments and could
walk to and from the college. On the question of security, if facing the position
that the more people there are the more security problems there are, then if the City
is going to have people living in apartments in the City at all, the security problem
will exist somewhere. A variety of housing types is needed in all parts of the community.
He feels those living in expensive houses tend to be not very tolerant of a lot of things
that ga o;i in and around colleges. Those living In apartments expect mere activity,
more noise; more traffic, etc. Access to open space could be easily accomplished.
The County Flood Control District owns property to the east of the college, which it
is hopee some day will become a regional park. Regarding the earthquake fault in the
area, we need to know where this is before any development can be approved there. In
regard to Mr. Sylvester's property, 'yes, we dial propose a regional shopping center site.
When better information for the Foothill Freeway was developed, it was found this would
not be an adequate site. The configuration of the area would be too elongated causing
traffic problems. A neighborhood center was proposed on that site or across the
street. One site could be a neighborhood center, the other site used for mixed use.
Commissioner Dahl stated lie would like to make a motion to retain our previous findings .
which indicated medium density from 5 to 15 units per gross acre for the 'areas on the
west, south and east side of Chaffey College.
Commissioner Garcia stated he would like to have the opportunity to discuss the issue
prior to seconding the motion.. Ile stated he would like to discuss a recommendation
of 2,000 feet around the-- college to be left open in order to provide a lower scale
of environment with the poperty below that left meditim density residential. He
would like to discuss this possibility.
Chairman Rempel otated that 2,000 feet will take practically the entire area we are
talking about. That would leave the area low density instead of the medium density
residential previously decided on.
Commiisione. Tolstoy stated he would be receptive to a transition zone around the
college.
Chairman Rempel state' he feels that the medium density of 5 to 15 units per acre
should be required. Each development that is considered should be looked at to insure
proper protection to the college. A Planned Unit Development could perhaps be considered
which would move the units away and could be very well done. The Commission would have
to look at each development coming in.
Commissioner Garcia stated he feels a specific plan of the area is needed in order to
insure
proper development.

After further discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Garcia, seconded by '
Commissioner Joncs and unanimously carried to retain the medium density designation
on the General Plan with a statement in the General Plan that any development in
the area have a special study.

Meeting reconvened at 10:20 p.m.
REMAINING INDIVIDUAL. CONCERNS - GENERAL PLAN
Area: South side of Foothill, east of Vineyard
Jack Lam reviewed the Staff Report in detail. He stated the General Plan desig-
nates high density for this area and the owner desires commercial. Re stated the
Commission had discussed the issue of commercial on both the north and south side
of Foothill with an eye toward restricting the development of the commercial strip
along its entirety. This is accomplished by varying commercial'and residential
in key areas to maintain a dynamic balance of land uses. The south side cf Fo'othil.l
in this area is large enough and deep enough to support high density uses and incor-
porate adequate buffers from Foothill. Commercial use could worsen the ingress and
egress problems off cf Foothill Blvd. between Vineyard and Hellman. Staff recommends '
that the General Plan designation of high density be retained.
Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing.
Mr. Gil Rodrlc�aez, owner of property, stated at one time this area was shown as
commercial and has new changed to high.density residential. lie would like his
property to be desi giatied for commercial use.
Jack Lam stated the Commission, during discussions, indicated that they would not
look favorably to commercial as a continuous strip along Foothili Blvd. Therefore,
the consultant revised the plan to reflect those concerns.
Commissioner Garcia asked If there arc flooding problems in this area.
Lloyd Ilubbs, City Engineer, stated he believes with the completion of the Cucamonga,
Creek project, the flood hazard would mitigated in this area.
Commissioner Garcia asked why the north area was all shown commercial and the south
side has been broken up into commercial and high density residential.
-12-
Jack Lam stated the .Commission ' felt high density residential was appropriate
in this area along Foothill Blvd. It would not require the number of curb
cuts which would allow for a better flow of traffic than would retail commercial
uses. It would also act as a buffer betwee n the continuous strip of commercial.
Mr. Rodriquez stated he has 9 1/2 acres of property with frontags on Foothill and
he stated if allowed to develop he would develop something very nice.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated he personally feels there is too much commercial on
Foothill Blvd. In the interest of good planning, it would be good to break that
alvd. up. He could be in favor of keeping the General Plan as it now stands.
Commissioner Dahl stated if we change this high density residential. area to commer-
cial, we are going to find ourselves without enough high density areas. When we
lose these high density areas, then we don't meet our requirements of some of the
federal programs that bring money to our City. He would personally see no major
impact on the City as a whole for a high density housing area in this area.
Commissioner Jones stated she would agree with Commissioner Tolstoy and Commis -
sioner Dahl. She would recommend that the high density residential remain..
John Blayney stated at one time this area was shown as strip commercial; however,
it was removed at the express request of the Commission.
Chairman Rempel stated his opinion is that commercial.desienntion is not good for
that area. Ile feels mixed use where apartments and office building-, could be, allowed '
would be a much more feasible answer.
Mr. Gil Rodriquez stated lie would be in favor of mixed use for this property.

Area: Southeast corner of Vhuyard and San Bernardino Road
Jack Lam reported the General Plan designates low density residential for this
area and the property owner desires commercial office.. Mr. Lam stated this property
was formerly owned by the County for riglit of way improvements. According to the
-13-
-- owner, the County 'do Zu'uger wanted to retain this land and sold it at auction to
the present owner. The northern portion of the land is too narrow for the develop-
ment of any use whatsoever. The southern portion that fronts on San Bernardino Road
is 78 feet wide at its widest part and existing residences abut the property. The
northern portion is a greater slope. Any remaining vacant parcel adjacent to a
residential neighborhood should be co_itinued as residential. It is conveivable that
a small residence with access off of San Bernardino Road towards the eastern property
line may be developed. Any use other than residential would create traffic conflicts
detrimental to the intersection and create conflicts with adjacent residential uses.
Staff recommends that low density residential be retained.
Mr. Shay, property owner, stated he would like the Commission to consider commercial
for this property. He would like to put a real estate office and art gallery on
this property. lie feels with the proper planning this could be accompl.islied. lie
does not feel residential should be allowed due to the amount of traffic on that
corner. A nicely landscai•ed office would add nicely to the area.
Commissioner Garcia statist it would be difficult to allow any commercial development
in this location. What concerns him is the proslmlty for access Into a, development
from the intersection. However, at the same time, he doesn't find a very good solu-
tion for residential development on this property either.
Chairman Rempel stated there is no commercial until Baseline Avenue. Be does not
feel commercial development should be approved for this location.
After general. discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Com-
missioner Garcia and unanimously carried to retain the General Plan designation of
low density residential for subject property.

Mr. .Vito Francisco, representing Mr. Sylvester asked that the Commission discuss
the property on the northeast corner of Highland and Haven to Lemon Avenue. Ile,
asked that a mixed use & .gnation be designated up to Lemon 'Avenue at the northern
boundary of the property.
Jack Lam stated the lines on the map in this area are general; however, it is
possible to develop a specific plan to see the relationship between the different
uses.
Mr. Francisco stated lie feels it would be logical to extend the mixed use designa-
tion up to Mr. Sylvester's property line.
Commissioner Garcia stated if an applicant intends to have a specific plan of the
' entire area, the Commission could address themselves to that at that time.

Area: West side of Haven Avenue, north of the SAT &SF Railroad
4r' Mr. Lam reviewed the staff report in detail. lie reported the General Plan desig-
�'t •hates subject area for low density residential. The owner of this property feels
low density residential is inappropriate for this site and would prefer an Indus-
trial designation. Currently existing on the property is the Cucamonga Pioneer
Vineyard. He stated the area is bounded to the south by the railroad which has a
spur running into the property. To the west is an older residential area buffered
by Marine Avenue and to the north is an existing light industrial building. The
sites proximity to Haven. Avenue, the Railroad, and an existing industrial building
makes it non - conducive to low density residential development. If planned well,
a minimum impact industrial use would be compatible with the surrounding area. He
recommended that the General Plan be modified to reflect a minimum impact industrial
on the property boundel by Humboldt, Marine, 26th Street and ilaven.
Mr. Paul Hoffer,. representing Cucamonga Pioneer Vineyard asked that the Commission
consider industrial for subject property.
Chairman Rempel stated because of the railroad spur there is no question that this
area 'should be designated industrial..
After general discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Tolstoy seconded by
Commissioner Jones and unanimously carried to modify the General Plan to reflect
a minimum impact industrial on that property bounded by Humboldt, Marine, 26th

Review of Area on the northwest corner of 19th and Archibald. Request by Vanir
Research Company
The Director stated, "If the Cotmnis!�ion would like to reconsider their previous
motion to retain the area for high density residential, a motion to that effect
will need to be made." The Commission at a previous meeting upheld the present
designation because they felt Lt was poor planttLng practice to allow additional
shopping centers at this intersection; there are several other centers existing
and under construction' which can more than adequately seLv a the area. Since the
Commissions decision was to retain high density residential, they cannot approve the
site plan for commercial development ou this property. The only way to consider the
site plan is to reconsider the whole issue of land use.
Commissioner Garcia stated many issues weren't discussed to his satisfaction at the
last meeting. One of the major problems is traffic. There are no traffic signals
on 19th and Archibald. At the inst meeting, Commissioner Jones and Commissioner
Dahl were not present and he would like to hear their comments. The Commissioners
r.
present at that mcetinit were very strong about their decision.
Chairman Rempel stated the critical item is increased traffic that a com mercial
development would cause.
_15-
Commissioner Dahl stated_ the land could perhaps be put to'n better use than
high density residential. He would like to look at various alternatives that
Aright be available such as mixed use which could give us the opportunity to
develop different uses. lie is not certain that the land is being put to its
best use by a straight designation of high density residential. That is why
he would like to reconsider the Planniug Commission decision.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that 19th Street is a tremendous problem in this com-
munity, especially if the freeway is not put through. Our Planning Consultant
has indicated lie is not in favor of shopping centers on all four corners of an
Intersection. We have Rome in our community now which cause many problems. His
opinion is that this item should not-be reconsidered at this time.
Frank Dominguez, owner of property on the northwest corner of 19th and Archibald,
stated he would urge the Commission to reconsider thin area for commercial develop-
ment.
Commissioner Garcia stated we have to address ourselves to the basic issues of
planning regardless of what has transpired. Therefore, he would move that the
Commission not reconsider tai- area.
After general discussion, a motion vas made by Commissioner Garcia, seconded by
Commissioner Tolsto; and unanimously carried to retain the present general plat
designation of high density residential for subject area.

Mr. Tomlinson, attorney for Mr. Dominguez asked that the Commission at least review
their site plans.
Commissioner Garcia stated this matter will have to go to the Council for any further
consideration.
Jack Lam stated the Commission can consider a prenentatlon on the site plan but it
becomes academic because:tlhey can't make 'a finding by the government code once a
finding contrary to the site plan has been made on the general Ilan.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that the site plans might be done very nicely but not
at this site. Ile stated lie would hope that Vanir Research Company would come to
the City and use their plan in an area which might allow this type of use.
The City Attorney stated once the Commission has made a recommendation on the
Ger:eral. Plan anyone can challenge a decision at the Council Level.
A motion was made by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy and unani-

Director Review No. 78 -42 - Federal Sign Company - A request to place a "Liquor"
sign on each of the Stater Bros. stores located on the northeast corner of Carnelian
and Baseline and on the northeast corner of Archibald and 19th Street.
Jack Lam, Director of Community .Development, reviewed the staff report in detail.
A uniform sign program was approved for each center as part of two separate Condi-
tional Use Permits. The' programs do not allow for 'liquor" signs of this type.
Further, signs are to be used for business identification purposes only. Staff
feels that liquor signs are not appropriate or necessary 'in major shopping centers.
Such signs tend to clutter the appearance of the center and disrupt uniform signing
of the center. The commission should establish a policy on signs of this nature.
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 18 -27 denying Director Review No. 78 -42
based on the findings contained therein.
Commissioner Garcia stated that the proposed sign ordinance requires uniform signing
throughout shopping centers.
Mr. Sam Jerome, Supervisor for the Stater Brothers Markets, stated he would like to
have this issue considered for approval. Statet Brothers stores in the past have never
had a liquor department. 'they feel the sign is necessary to advise the public that
they can service their liquor needs. Tl,ey would like to be given the same consideration
that Vons Market has.
Jack Lam stated any sighs approved by the Commission at this time will lave a hearing
on what. you %•111 or will not: accept In the proposed sign ordinance. As for Vons market
and other previously approved signs by the County, they will be nonconforming and will
be amortized if the Commission adopts the sign ordinance which would not allow this
type of sign.
Commissioner Tol:etoy asked what muortis:atlnn period In suggested In the proposed sign
ordinance.
Commissioner. Dahl stasted our proposed ordinance will allow ai,pt"ximately one year for
them to remove nonconforming signs.
Commissioner Garcia stated it is the goal of the community that shopping center signing
should be uniform. His opinion is that the sign proposal is excessive. lie would
not want to permit or entice. this type of signing. it would not serve the purpose
of providing ,00d signing for the rouraunity.

Commissioner Tolstoy stated tae have been going through many decisions on the

that the City caul d.or could not serve certain ares of the City on our borders.
In one area there is a wash that goes through which a seems to make a natural line
for the City boundary to follow however there is a place of land which helongs to
our City. Ile wonders if something could be done about these areas. Would It be
possible to talk to the City of Ontario about them annexing areas sucL as this.
Jack Lam stated the City of Ontario has approached him on this particular place
of property on 6th Street and the wash. There is approximately three acres of
land in this area which is presently undeveloped_ It would he easier for the City
of Ontario to service this: property. There is also another piece of property on
8th Street and Vineyard which was discussed at the last meeting. Staff stated that
since the whole area in the Cit} of Ontarin in this location is zoned residential,
the property adjacent to Ontario area should be maintained residential. At that
meeting, industrial was adopted by the Commission. Ile has since been in contact with
the City of Ontav io and they object very strongly to industrial, and they are preparing
a statement to that effect. We are suggesting; that these areas be considered for
annexation by the City of Ontario. They are undeveloped areas at• the present time and
could be better serviced by the City of Ontario. Ile asked for a statement by the
Commission of whether or not to pursue this with the City of Ontario to take proper
steps of deannexing these properties and the pro ne':tles located on the southeast.

one additional condition to the Resolution. The condition is to read as follows:
"The applicant shall participate in the cost of any drainage improvements necessary
to handle run off to the satisfaction of the City Engineer." lie reported all
drainage from 19th Street is blocked by the railroad tracks. This developer
will not be required to provide all the facilities, but just a propo-tionate
share of his run off. The area of runoff is very large compared to this one
parcel. Several properties to the east will also contribute to the runoff.
Currently, the only way of alleviating the drahtage problem is westerly - .long.
the rai'..oad tracks and bumping onto Hellman. All the parcels of land that
abut the railroad will be required, as they develop, to participate in the
cost of drainage improvements..

interrelativeness. At the time of incorporation, the City had only enough
financial resources to develop a certain portion of the general plan. The
decision was made to focus upon the land use, circulation and public facilities
elements of the General Plan. It was felt that the policies of development
contained in the County General Plan and.County Zoning Ordinance were not accep-
table as policies for our City; therefore, in order to achieve a new zoning
o_dinance, which must be consistent with the land use plan, it was decided that
these three elements be prepared at this time. The policy of the Plan is to
encourage the retention of agricultural zones as lon3 ns possible and not to
upzone properties without specific development proposals for review, unless the
Commission feels that certain types of growth should be encouraged in an area.
The basic concept is to retain the lowest zone for nny area until a specific
project is eminent. This city embarked on the Cask of element preparation at the
beginning of April of this year. Since that time tite Commission has conducted
a number of public workshops and numerous public hearings to consider input from
the community as well as to solicit continents as much as possible from individual
property owners about specific properties. The DEIR is a informational document
that addresses issues in relation to future development of the City. Ile reported
we have received comments from the.Department of Mousing and Community Develop-
ment, Air Quality Management District, Ituriel Zimmerman, Inland Counties Legal
Services, Rodney Parcel and Joe DiIorio, concerning the draft EIR (These cmmments
are on file in the Planning Division). Also, two days ago, Staff received a
letter from the State of California Clearing (louse in regard to the draft Environ-
mental Impact Report. Staff feels this city should consider all comments made and
it is felt some of the comments from the State are very critical. Ile indicated
he has been In contact with the office of Planning and Research to ask them about .
their comments in regard to the draft FIR, and the nature of their comments. .There
seems to be lack of knowledge at the state that this is a newly incorporated city
V and that there is a 30 month time frame allowed for the city to adopt their other.
elements. They have made a number df good comments which he felt the City sting
respond to. The Office of Planning and Research will be coordinating a meeting•
between the other agencies and our staff to find out more abort our city slid
look at our program. Staff feels that after that meeting, the State will have
a better picture.of.,.what we are trying to accomplish. lie recommended that the
Commission, after public hearing, continue this public hearing to the next Cam-
mission meeting at which time Staff would. have adequate time to speak to each one
of the State agerccies to clarify the points of confusion and Incorporate the
comments which should be contained within the draft environmental .impact report.
M Commissioyirr Garcia stated be is concerned that we have not rcec[vrd any communi-
cation from m:ljor pnhltc facilities ::uch at fire and pol.icr rog:rrding the.I.and
Use, Circulation and Public Facilities Element.
Jack Lam stated comments were requested from each of the public facilities and
wn have not received any response. Staff can only assume they have no comments
at this time.

After general discussion, Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing on the Land
Use, Circulation and Public Facilities Element.

Mr. Al Blesant.,- riving -Iii thn area basically from Hellman to Archibald, near
6th Street, stated land use in this area is residential. Immediately to t ?ie
south, north and within one half mile to the east, is industrial property. He
would like to know if there could be a better land use then residential for
this particular area.
Jack Lam stated at this time, the Commission has provided many opportunities
for individual concerns from property owners. This is an open public Nearing
this evening and the Commission can decide -iow It wants to handle each individual
item. In this particular case, the Commission has discussed residential in this
Brea. There is some residential in this area now, so there is a problem of iso-
lation. The City of Ontario in this area is residential. He stated if an indi-
vidual has concerns about an individual item, a written communication should be
addressed to :the City Council so that they will know of these concerns.and take
that into consideration when they conduct their public hearing.
Commissioner Tolstoy. stated lie thaught the Commission has cut off the individual
items at -this time.
Jack Lain stntcd the Commis.:i.on voted to not agendize individual items; however,
individuals could come up and state their concerns. The concerns can merely be
stated for the record as the minutes are forwarded to the City Council.
Art Bridge, stated he would like to speak specifically to an area shown for a
school. site on his property. His objection is that, in effect, the designation
is some sort of condemnation having this area indicated for a school site. - It
will make it difficult when the time conies to use his property for other purposes,
then a school site. lie would like Co request that this symbol be taken off at
this time and if a school site is required on this property in the future, he would
be willing to cooperate at that time. I,i the meantime, lie feels it is a disadvantage.
to show his property in ills manner (property located south of Bahyan, between
Carnelian and Beryl).
Chairman k2mpel stated ti.c school site.symbuls do not mean a school will definitely
be constructed on char riere of property. It means that somewhere in this vicinity
would be a logical area for a :school,. but will not necessarily lie site specific.
Jack Lam stated that the Location of - the symbols means that somewhere in the area
there may be n need for a certain type of school, public raci.lity or park. How-
ever, the symbol does not.necess.rily mean that,it is on that exact piece of pro -
perry. There is he zoning that would be applied to this land as a school. It is
merely a conceptuail way for the school district to properly plan for their future
need s.
Mr. Vito Francisco, Attorney representing Mr. Sylvester who own- 75 acres on the
northe...ast corner of Highland and Haven Avenue, stated Mr. Sylvester requested him
to voice their concern for the record because they intend to pursue this further
with the.Council. His concerns are that that property has had some detractors
attached to it because of uncertainty of the Foothill Freeway. .It now appears
a mixed use designation is going to be causing Mr. Sylvester some problems because .
it is not extcnded,to itis northern boundary (Lemon Avenue). If this area is going:
to be designated ar mixed use, they would like to have that designation extend Co
�.. Lemon Avenue so they will at least have a uniform designation on the entire 75 acres

Commisnioner Carcia's'tated this. propixty has been discussed in previous '
Commission rreetiiigs, at which time tic decision was to retain the General
Plan as it is now indicated. `
Mr. John Shurb, Lewis homes, stated he owns property at 10009 Banyan. He
stated he would like to compliment the Commission and members of tho. Staff for
the work they have put into this pi:oposal.' Considering a short time 'frame, a
masterful job has been done to come up with a workable plan. He stated during
the process of considering the general plan, the Commission has eliminated gaite
a bit of high density residential. It may be found at a later date that more
high density is required.
Commissioner Garcia stated he has wondered if we really have sufficient high
density in our community although we do have provisions within the alternative
sections to allow high density and mired uses within the plan. He asked Mr.
Lam if we are actually providing enough high density within the community or
are we a little bit short?
Mr. Lam stated overall, in terms of this particular document, this community's
provision for high density is somewhat less then typical. At the housing element
stage the City will have to address the whole Issue of adequacy of housing and
multiple family units In this community. The State of California hns. taken a
greater interest In insuring that communities provide enough rental housing for
those that can not afford to purchase Homes.
Commissioner Garcia stated %':hen the Commission started rcvi(v of tile. Plan,
differing input was uhtatac•d fen:; the cunImun(ty. The basic, concept and goals
of the Comnis;lon were. to develop a community that would integrate the three
commun,'ies of Alta Loma, Cucamonga and Ctiwanda and to lie a model city in
Southern California. A basic element was to develop a focxil point, which has
been accomplished in Alternative A. The plan In Alto Loma and part of Cucamonga
Is mostly residential. To the vw rtheast, there 1s more of a low density type
environment serving natural resources. In the southeast portion, we have con-
centrated on industrial usage. In the near future, he ,4ould like to tackle thoroughly

Commissioner Tolstoy stated there arc two things or the general plan which he
would like to see a little different. The first on? being high density residen-
tial. He doesn't feel there is enough high density, however, lie feels there Is
an opportunity to come bade at a later date to take another look at that. lie
feels it would be reasonable to review the plan in :he future regarding the
development of -'No freeway. This may clangs the plan one way or the other.. If
?"
we don't get the freeway, more circulation will be needed cast and west through
i.
the city. Also at that time there will be further opportunity to look at high
density. lie stated the other thing ice doesn't like about the Plan is the Chaffcy
Cullege situation. fie has been reading some. of the things that went on before we
became a city and how many times people from this area went to the County Planning
Commission and Board-of Supervisors meetings and how many times they wcre.treated
discorrteous.iv. Tlot is one of the rrsmis why tice people became discouraged.
Tails might he taken care of by the fact shat Conmilssioner Garcia, as part of his
motion to keep the designation as shown on the map, indicated this an a study area.
�j
As far as the Plan a:; a whole is considered, he -feels It is a good plan. lie feels
the Commission has 1Istenud well to the community and in many cases have made
changes to the Plan because of input received.

provided a good indicatfnn where potential. locations will be in regard to
population grawtli.' It is his opinion that we have done a very good job in
terms of addressing the community needs. lie is -also pleased to find most of'
the community and citizens were receptive to pregresside planning.
Chairman Rempel stated his reason for voting for median dtnsity residecdinl
around the Chaffey College was the fact that we tend to I.mit people by income
as to what area of the city they can live. The only way to get the rcauced
cost housing is to have the higher density `-ousing so that people of lower
income brackets can live in scenic areas as well as people of higher income
brackets. We have touched on this issue briefly in our review however in the.
preparation of the housing element this is something we must explore more fully.
He indicated lie is concerned :.bout circulation. If the freeway is never built we
have a serious east /west circulation problem in our city. This will definitely
take a lot of investigation in the not too distant _future as the city develops.
Commissioner Aalil stated he would like to add that he feels the Commission has
been very responsive to the publics response or quctstions regarding the master
plan. We have tried to maintain wherever possible an area of open space which
is evidenced by the Windrow areas. We have tried to open up nur areas or mixed
use td,lch would allow us flexibility to bring In different types, of dcvolopmcnt
within that area. We have also tried to, whcrcver possible, increase high den-
sity areas within the city. he hnve been somewhat limited on that issue because
so many areas are already developed and there Is difficulty in retrofitting high
dn_nsity. We have attempted to buffer areas around the large industrial area to
keep the areas from having; problems as far as noise, pollution or other undce'-.ible
things that could come out of living near an Industrial. area. lie feels we have tried
to eliminate strip commercial which can generally become an eyesore. As develop-
ments ale proposed in the future, we will take a hard look at every item that
comes in along areas that could be developed commercially. lie is personally very
pleased with the input received from the pcni,'.. in the area as a whole and we have
done our best to try to niUet a1.1 of the issue: i.!iat were brought to us.
commissioner ,Tones staled she feels the nesthct.ics' that we cicmnnded at Life very
b.gluninF are beginning to show now det,nt'in the .industrial Tile ianducaping
and design standards will be developed more at a later date. Site would like to
see the power l 3nes cltpnged. She would like to see more of the planned unit
developments or cluster homes bi_°ause >n that: way we could possibly get more•
apartments as a trade off for open space. She stated on the whole she 14111 have
to agree with what the other Comnissioncrs have said and that we have done our
best.
Chairman Rompet stated he would like to thank tha community for their input in
the last few months. This input has given us a tremendous amount of knowledge
about the community and without that we would still be trying to decide what
should go where. lie hopes that as we move along with the rest of the el.tmtctnts
that we will continue to get a lot of input from the public.
# A Notion was made by Commissloner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Garcia and una-
nimously carried to close the public heating on -the land use, circul.atior and
`. public facilities element of the Ceneral Plan. public Hearing closed.
,
At this time, Chairr.:ii_Pcmpcl opened the public hearing on the 'draft EIWICuutttental
Impact Report.
Mr. Marlin Dickey, Professsor of Geology, Chaf.fey College, stated h.: has submitted
a written report to me Planning Commission which he has aut together with Mr. Rod
Parcel, Associate Professor of Geology for Chaffey College regarding their evalua-
tion of the Draft Environmental Impact Report on the proposed Land Use Plan for the
City. He stated lie would like to read this report' in detail for the benefit of all
those present (copy of report on file in the Planning Di.visi.on). lie reported pro-
blems that have not been identified in the DELR are such things as Vic geological
impacts of earthquake, ground rupture and ground creep; secondary shaking; mass
movement; settling; liquifaction; dams, debris basins or reservoirs and loss
of mineral resources. Other problems that have not been adequately discussed
are changes in: natural drainage, natural flora and fauna, ground water and •
pollution. lie .Indicated earth sciza;ce information must be available to planners
as early as possible in the planning process for n number of reasons witich he
reviewed for the audience. i.and capability traps must be prepared and used to
indicate problems. The DEIR shou'_d state the philosophy and objectives clearly
and concisely. The community should be made as safe as possible from natural
and artificial hazards.
Commissioner Garcia stated lie feels Professor I%ickey's comments are to the point.
The issue of the faults and seismic analysis is necessary. Perhaps it would be
good to add a statement in the general plan that Indicates that earthquake faults
and seismic safety should be analyzed prior to any development.
Ted Hopson, City Attorney, stated the seismic safety element is a required element
of the general plan. If the flan indicates a problem area, prior t4 development,
it would require a full blown environmental impact report to discuss mitigating
measures in order to alleviate any problems.
Commissioner Dahl stated the general. plan lists the three earthquake faults that
are within our near the city limits.
Atr. dlnrlin Dickey stated there are yet throe Other faults within the community.
He doesn't feel the general plan should be developed prior to ci-amination of
all elements.
Jack Lam stated the Information Mr. Dickey has presented is very important. Many
communities have not been is concerned about seismic safety as they should be. ,
This Is one of the rea:ona'hv state mandated this clomcnt to address tin' seismic
N: safety as we] i. as other natural disaster hazards. While we agree that this has
to be looked at, the only point: of questloning he has Is that CF;QA iaas sot up
not to make in RIR a policy ductmiont but informational one Lo discuss possible
environmental effects available nt the time. It is apparent that there are
certain earthquake faults, and if we have thP.s kpowledge peri:aps this couid be
indicated at th' .mc if they are widely tceognlzed as potent1nlly hw,ardous
areas to the point where a special study area should be established. If informa-
tion concerning; cartheptake fatilLS it: currently av;tilcili.l0 these should lie made
available to our staff so that when any development occurs within these are.z we
can make proper justifications before any project is brought before tha Commission.
He indicated this can be recngnized as an interim policy and recornined through the
impact report not in policy way but as in Information point so that knowl.edgn,is
available. The policy will not be addressed until review is made of the Seismic
safety element. He stated there Is now a moratorium on residential constructior.Y
and any housing constructed now is a result of permits issued by the County or
those which were approved prior to the moratorium. The whole issue of how to
deal with growth management in the city �is. being discussed at this time -and
whel-her or not the moratorium should be continued. Certain developments may
be released in terms of new sewer allocation. This development would not be
any project that the city has had any review on. All existing tentatives
not approved yet which are on file, will be asked to withdraw their appli-
cation or have them treated as new applications. The school district is dIs-
cussing thr.p :;;iL'.lity of eontinninr thr Intal moratorium further.
41r. Dickey a•;khd if wo can' I. nck that a devvloprr•nt on n kronen fanit he re- vvnluated?
Jack Lam stated those developments that have already received negative decl.arationa
issued by the County are approved and could not be re- evaluated.
rirs. Muriel Zimmerman, Instructor in the Biology Department at, Chaffey- College,
stated she submitted a written report to the Planning Division (this report is
on file in the Planning Division), concerning her comments on the draft UR.
She stated her comments are in regard to tile- flora ant: fauna. The report doesn't
include any uf_ the statements with regard to natural flora and fauna in the com-
munity and the detrimental impacts it would have because, of the land use. No comments
were made about the flora and rare and endangered species within the city limits.
She does not mean to imply that the city should not develop in order to preserve the'..
flora and fauna. However, she feels that the DBIR should comment on these things
and should note for the information of people that they are going to be removed with
^.m development of the open space areas. This plan does preserve some areas and
probably more than many cities; however, she would think the E1R should definitely
address these things and make statements about the effect o•f the development of
N,
the city en tine natural flora and faunn of the.city. A study should be conducted '
regarding this matter. T:ie Biology Faculty has available expertise and would be
quite willing to be consulted in any way to help with regard to the biologic
impacts.
Mr. Robert Smith sfaecd he has lived in Alta Loma si.hce 1965. lie stated the
preservation of the rural character and local control: of the planning of the
community were reasons of ' :.^.orporating. When the looks at this plan he does ,
not se^ a rural atmosphere but a suburb.
k�• Mr. John Tindcll, stated ht: is a Vistn Volunteer with Inland Counties, legal Set-
vices. lie Indicated Nate Roe :ouhtnr couldn'k stay at this meetint; this evening;.
Mr. Rosenberg asked him to ronmend the Commission for tine woric that they have
put into the new city. There is still a lot or work to do. He Indicated they
represent the poor people in their work. They have aatked with a lot of cities in
their housing element and If we see any kind of pattern where. they fcci; that poor
people are being excluded they would try to come in and advise its of this. This
city has a uni-,t:o opportunity to plan its city in an Ideal way. lie stated nt 3
this tis� there are many elements that are not addressed in the, draft EIR.

Chairman Renpcl`_stated we have not taken the housing element or. any of the
other seven required elements into cansideration in this draft EIR. This EIR
is fir the land use, circulation and public facilities elements. There will b'L
another draft EIR on the rest of the elements. Each of the elements is briefly
indicated in this draft EIR;-however, we will go into much detail with each
element in the near future.
Jack Lam stated if anyone has specific information to provide regarding the
draft EIR or the :and Use, Circulation and Public Facilities Elements and Map
of the General Plan,, this information should be provided prior to the next
meeting so that this can be incorporated into the document prior to that weeLiug
if possible.
Commissioner Jones stated Chaffey College sliould be thanked for the information
they Nave given us in regard to the General Plan.
Chairman Rempel. stated he would agree wholeheartedly. Any input anybody in the
community can give to add to our knowledge in developing the future of our city
is most welcome.

r ment: however, Archibald and 6th are designed to accommodate the
increased traffic flow from this project.

SUBJECT: Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Land Use, Circulation
and Public Facilities Element of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan
BACKGROUND: At the November 22, 1978, meeting of the Planning Commission, the
public hearing was opened on the draft environmental impact report. At that
time, public testimony was taken and the item was continued with the public
hearing open to the December 13 meeting of the Planning Commission.
California Environmental Quality -Act defines the draf t environmental impact
report as an informational document which when fully prepared in accordance
with the CEQA guidelines will inform public decision makes and the general .
public of the environmental facts of a project that trey propose to carry out
or approve. The information in an BIR constitutes evidence that a public
agency shall consider along with any other information vh1ch may be presented
to the agency.
As part of the review process on the draft environmental impact report, the
Ci•_y.solicited comments from various state agencies, departments with the City,
and the jurisdictions having control. over developments. The commarts_frar -the
agencies chosing to respond are included :in the appendix -of- -the draft environmental
impact report and labeled-appendix -I - $.I. The appendix-also provides a
detailed - listing of those agencies, contacted. :Additionally,7staffrims revised
the-text of the document =to reflect comments contained-in the appendix.—We
wish:to note for the record that - comments received -by the State -were after the
deadline for submittal of comments and according to the CEQA guidelieus do not
have to be- included in the report. However, we felt that many of the comments
were appropriate and should be included.
it is our belief that the document presented to the Planning Commission with
revisions and appendixes meets and exceeds the requirements of the State
guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commisaira recommend to the
City Council the Draft EIR for certification and adopt the proposed resolution
attached.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
STAFF REPORT
TO:, Planning Commission
FROM: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: STATUS OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
BACKGROUND: At the November 22, meeting of the Planning Commission, two
Commissioners were appointed to a special committee (Herman Rempel and Laura
Jones) to meet with the BIA and the Alta Loma School District to determine
possible solutions to the school impaction problem. - Commissioner Laura Jones
subsequently asked to be replaced by Commissioner Jorge Garcia.
Two meetings have been held and in the first session both Commissioners Garcia
and Rempel were present,. Ken Willis of the BIA, Mr. Stork and Mr. McMurtry,
Preaaident Frost of the Alta Loma School District, Gary Frye from the William
Lyon Company, Doug Hone, Joe DiOrio, Lewis Homes and Barry Hogan. The meeting
centered around possible solutions to the Alta Loma School District's impaction
problem. The BIA suggested that the developers voluntarily stretch the time
involved for completion of their tracts and present this to the Planning.
Commission and the City Cour..il as a growth management strategy. The school
district's position as presented by Presidnet Frost was that nothing short of
the continuation of the moratorium would be acceptable. After considerable
discussion it was finally agreed that the builders and the school district would
investigate possibilities of an assessment• district and -other methods of
financing portable and relocatable units for classrooms.
The second .meeting included -Joe Diario,,Pete Peterson,-from Chevron, Gary
Frye-from William Lyon Company ;'Floyd. Stork! and Jim McMurtry-. from Alto_ Loma-
School District, Ken Willis BIA, Herman Rempel-,Jorge Garcia -and Barry .Hogan.
Ken Willis presented a suggested list of phasing- for'the approved tracts.
The school district presented a report on School- Finance for.'Capital Outlay
post Proposition 13 that lays out their constraints.' Their indication is that
In February of 1979, they will be off double session and probably be able to
handle the existing 'inventory without double session. However, the issue still
remains should the moratorium be continued or should the City adopt a growtb
management strategy. The school districts' position remains unchanged, i.e.
that the moratorium be continued. The B.I.A.'a-position has changed somewhat
in that they are now voluntarily suggesting that they pbase their development
of the pending tracts'over the next two years.
Due to the shortness of time and the magnitude involved in creating a growth
management strategy, we have not prepared any written recommendation at this
time. On Tuesday, December 12, 1978, it is our intent to have a written recommen-
dation outlining the possible Growth Management Strategy to relieve the City
of the curAent backlog of approved'tentatives.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 13, 1978 .
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Variance 78 -02 - Broadhead - Request to cover the entire rear
``'
yard with an enclosed patio structure (see Section 61.024A)
J-. -
at 10240 Banyan.St. In the Shadow Peak North Tract - - an R -1
7200 zone.
Ii.
BACKGROUND: The Code requires a minimum rear yard of 15 feet. The applicant
desires to construct an enclosed patio cover that would occupy the entire
rear yard area. In order to construct such a structure a variance must first
Ibe
approved. The necessary findings for approval of a variance are as follows: ;
1. That the granting of such variance will not be materially de-
trimental to property in the neighborhood or the use thereof.
i
2. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect
in a material way the General Plan or its objectives.
3. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances of
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use
that do not generally apply to other properties or uses in the
same vicinity and zone.
4. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and use
of a substantial property right possessed by other properties
in the same vicinity and,zone district and which is requested
for the property in question.
ANALYSIS: The applicant's rear property line borders property owned and-used
by the San Bernardino Flood Control District for flood control. In fact, all
of the homes along the north side of Banyan St. rear onto the Flood Control
property. The applicant's lot is 20+ feet lower than the north property line.
There is a slope along the rear yard + 17 feet. The general conditions of
this property are identical to most of the properties along the north side
of Banyan St.
I'I•? issue at hand is whether or not there is 109,11 justification for the
granting of this variance. It is our opinion that there is no justification
for granting the variance. There are no unique topographic features of the
site nor unusual circumstances of the. site that would prohibit the owner from
enjoying priveleges enjoyed by others in the area. If this variance were
granted it would constitute the granting of 'a special privilege.

STAFF REPORT
December 13, 1978
Planning Commission
Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
Subject: Interim Land Use, Circulation and Public Facilities Elements
of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan
Included in your packet is a revised copy of the interim land .use,.circula-
tion and public facilities elements of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan.
This document has been mciified to reflect the changes in text that the
Planning Commission has made throughout its period of review. In order
to counter the feelings that the current document might be locked in con-
crete and that the City would not modify this document after consideration
of the other General Plan Elements, Staff recommends titling this document
an "Interim Land Use, Circulation and Public Facilities Element ". The
document as well as the draft EIR has been modified to reflect this same
approach. It should be noted that the element will consist of the draft
text and the land use map and the environmental constraints map. Since
it is very expensive to reproduce these two maps, two fly sheets have been
added to the draft document to indicate where they would go after adoption
by the City. In the meantime the only copies available would be the two
original rendered maps that are viewable at City Hall.
During the course of the Planning Commissions' review of the land use map,
it has made modifications to many areas within the city. Staff, in reviewing
all of the modifications as well as the existing proposals, would recommend
that the following changes on the map be made prior to the Planning Commission
making its final recommendation to the City Council. These areas are, as
follows: ,
1. Removal of the neighborhood shopping center symbol from the north-
west corner of highland and Haven. This is the location of the
Garden Apartments and the remaining vacant land on that corner has
a map on file for the expansion of these apartments. It does not
appear likely that any neighborhood shopping center can be developed
on that site. Medium density should be designated.
2. East side of Archibald between 19th Street and the railroad tracks;
the area that is between the current mixed use and medium density
designation has the same 'characteristics as the medium density
designation on the southeast corner of 19th and Archibald. it
would be logical to expand the medium density designation down to
meet the mixed use slightly north of the railroad tracks. Modify
to medium density.
Unless the Planning Commission has any objections to making the above charzes,
Staff will not bring each one of these items ds separat- topics for discussion
but merely mention these at the night of the Commission. if the Commission wishes
to single any one of these items out for discussion, they may do so.but if there
is concurrence, the Commissioa, can merely include these as part of their recommenda-
tion to the Gity Council.
To further reinforce the City's efforts in developing its other mandatory general
j plan elements and to establish a•policy framework by which development applications
are reviewed in the interim, Staff has included a list of policy guidelines-in
the Resolution of adoption that would go to the City Council. These policies
relate to environmental protection, quality of life, development design quality
j as well as social and economic balance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution
- recommending adoption of the interim land use, circulation and public facilities
elements of the General Plan to the City Council and interim development review
policies.

3. The. Planaiug'Commission had previously modified.the corners of
Hermosa Avenue and Wac-line with the exception of the north and
east corner where there is an- existing mob ilehome'park. Previously,
the Planning. Consultant recommended mixed use and the Commission
had modified this mixed use to reflect medium density. Staff has. now
investigated the site in question and suggests that instead of the
medium density, low density designations be continued on the.south-
east and southwest corners while the mixed use be retained for the
northwest corner. The northwest corner has the largest undeveloped
piece that can.be utilized for mixed use purposes; and be compatible
to residential; however, the residential :haractcr and site constraints
are such that the south side of Baseline should be continued in the
low density designation especially since a portion of the southeast
corner of Baseline and Hermosa is used as a station.
Unless the Planning Commission has any objections to making the above charzes,
Staff will not bring each one of these items ds separat- topics for discussion
but merely mention these at the night of the Commission. if the Commission wishes
to single any one of these items out for discussion, they may do so.but if there
is concurrence, the Commissioa, can merely include these as part of their recommenda-

From: Director of Community Development
Subject: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF ZONE CHANCE NO. 78 -05 - A change of ,
zone from R -1 to A -P for 5.51 acres of lane located on the west
side of Haven, north of Lemou
BACKGROUND/ ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: Tile applicants are proposing a change
of zone from R -1 (single family residential) to A -P (Administrative-Pro-
fessional) for 5.51 acres of land located on the west side of Haven north
of Lemon. The applicant's intend to eventually develop a church which shall'
include an elementary school to grade R and a day care center.
The site which slopes in a southerly direction, fronts on haven Avenue which .
�. is a major thoroughfare. The site presently contains an abandoned vineyard,
no other significant vegetation is visible, nor a significant amount of wild-
life.
ENVIRONMENTAL DISCUSSION: The following is the discussion relative to the
environmental checklist:
.: 4 -d: This c-inge of zone will reduce the potential for further agri-
cultura production on this site. This is not a significant
impact as the existing vineyard was abandoned prior to this
project and the site is master planned for mixed use develop-
ment.
7 -a: This project will substantially change the potential land use
y of the site from single family residential to Mixed uses. Staff
feels this is not significant as the general plan proje:ts this
type of use and that the site fronts on r major arterial.
ENVIRONMENTAL. ANALYSIS STAFF RECM111F.NDA ION: Staff finds, after review of the
Initial Study, that this project will not result in significant adverse impacts
on Zile environment and recommends issunncc of a Negative Declaration.

Date: December 13, 1978
To: Planning Commission
From: Jack ham, Director of Community Development
Subject: L {^itatia: of uses olc the Vanir Site - Northeast corner
of Amethyst and 19tH Street
At a previous Planning Commission meeting, Lhe Planning Commission approved
a site development plan for the Vanir site on the northeast corner of Amethyst
and 19th Street. The approval of Chis plan would enable the applicant to
request the City Council to modify the "T" Standard that limited the use of
the site fora past office use. Tile Planning Commission, in reviewing tile,
plan proposal, concurred with the staff recommendations that there
should be further restriction of uses on this site to insure that higher
intensity retail uses would not be established on this site. The applicant
has agreed to voluntarily restrict the retail commercial uses on site to those
of a lower intensity use. The Planning Commission approved the site development
Plans with the conditions that the applicant and staff work out the agreement
regarding limitation of retail uses on the site.
Staff took Lhe applicants request for modification of the "T" Standard to the
City Council on December 6, 1978 at which meeting there was some confusion as
to the exact nature of the Planning Commission determination. It was the '
Chairman's opinion that the Planninv C.nmamisr,ion desired to see the list of
restricted uses prior to the City
more, at least one Council dcci::ru n l o the "T" Standards. Further-
Council member find raised the issue of whether the structure
OF' site .should be limited to a percentage area for retail uses and whcti :c,, the
building should be primarily administrative professional rather than retail.,
aliltough the basic zoning is C -1, Neighborhood Commercial. Therefore, the City
Council has returned this mmtter to the Planning Commission to study the declara-
tion of restrictions and the list of allow;tbli?'uses and to obtain the rcccimmcnda-
tion from the Planning Gnmmissfrni as to the exact nature of the Planning Commis -
stops' decision cm this; nvittor. The question before the Commission is twofold:
1. Should the structure be restricted to allow only a portion fo
retail commercial uses; and r
2. Is the list of retail uses a.11oulable as per the draft covenant
of restrictions adequate from the standpninC of the Planning
Commissions' concern.
