CONSENT CALENDAR
Upon MOTION by Commissionet Jones and seconded by Commissioner Garcia, it was
moved to approve the Consent Calendar as submitted;
A. Negative Declaration for Parcel Map No. 4875
B. Negative Declaration for Director R -view No. 78 -31.
Motion was carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING
Jack Lam, Community Development Director, made the Staff presentation of this
item. He indicated that this was a co:.tinuation of the November 22, 1978 meeting
regarding the EIR. The item is back before the Commission tonight to reflect
the changes prompted by comments that were made at that time. All the written
correspondence to date has been included in the draft report. Revisions to the
site plan map have also been made.
Mr. Lam read the Resolution in its entirety. Commissioner Garcia questioned
Staff in regard to the fault zones. Mr. Lam explained that the fault zones
are delineated on the Plan Map as set forth in the Alquist- Priolo study zones.
Chairman Rempel opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Nate Rosenberg, representing Inland Counties Legal Services, indicated that
his clientel are the low and middle income people within the community. Since
the EIR is still in draft form, he hopes to influence Staff to also consider the
housing element at this time. It is his feeling that the General Plan shows only
fourteen sites, of these, two will probably go to dormitory housing, two are
already developed, leaving just ten to meet the demand. He further indicated
that the City cannot, by law, just allow for single family housing. The City
could set aside locations for cluster type housing. Another option is to re-
quire that each tract include a certain portion of law income housing or that
each builder set aside a certain percentage of his building. If low income
housing is excluded it will increase commuter traffic and aggravate air quality
problems.
Commissioner Tolstoy wanted to know if the agency that he represented included
mobile homes in their totals. Mr. Rosenberg indicated that they did.
It was moved by Commissioner Dahl to close the public hearing segment of the
draft EIR, seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy and unanimously carried.
At the request of Commissioner Garcia, Mr. Lam responded to the points raised
by Mr. Rosenberg. Mr. Lam indicated that this is a post proposition 13 community
with a limited budget to develop all of its elements at one time. Secondly, most
other communities had a headstart since they were established before all the current
;. General Plan elements were required. Further, he stated that Rancho Cucamonga does
}` not enjoy that comfort and today there are even more elements that cities moat con-
Planning Commission Minutes -2- December 13, 1978
sider. The elements of Land Use, Circulation and Public Facilities are those
the City wanted to deal with first, this was partly the reason the City incor-
porated. He also indicated that there exist more than 14 locations for higher
density housing since all the mixed use designations allow for multiple residen-
tial, as well as, the medium density housing zones. Socio- economic information
necessary to determine the housing needs is not available, and will not be until
the City completes its special census in the Spring.
Commissioners Garcia and Rempel addressed their feelings on the draft EI12 and
commented on the amount of time and effort that had gone into its preparation.
Mr. Lam read the Resolution in its entirety.
MOTION by Commissioner Tolstoy to adopt Resolution No. 78 -38 and forward the
draft EIR to the City Council with its recommendations and findings for approval.
Seconded by Commissioner Dahl; unanimously carried.
MOTION by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Jones to consider Item
7G at this time; unanimously carried.
Mr. Lam gave the report.
Commissioner Garcia indicated that he would like to see the area in item 03 kept
as residential rather than mixed zoning. Chairman Rempel also concurred with
this recommendation.
Commissioner Dahl indicated that rather than eliminate some of our medium density
we should be encouraging and preserving what does exist.
MOTION by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy to modify the
Land Use Plan as follows:
1. To relocate the neighborhood shopping center symbol on the northwest
corner of Highland and Haven slightly northerly away from the Garden
Apartment site.
2. Modify the east side of Archibald between 19th and the Railroad tracks
to medium density.
3. To modify the southwest and southeast corners of Hermosa and Baseline to
low density.
and to adopt Resolution No. 78 -33 as submitted with its findings and recommenda-
tions to the City Council to adopt the Interim Land Use, Circulation and Public
Facilities Elements of the General Plan. Motion unanimously carried.
MOTION by Commissioner Dahl and seconded by Commissioner Garcia to discuss
Item H at this time. Motion csrried unanimously. Prior to discussion, a
recess-was requested.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY CWNCIL REGARDING GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Mr. Lam gave the Staff presentation indicating that the Staff had adjusted
the BIA recommendation. The impact of these projects on the school districts
would not be felt until one year after building permit issuance at the earliest.
Furthermore, such impact would be in phases rather than at once. However, the
Alta Loma School District desires to see the moratorium continued. Mr. Lam
read the title and the entire Resolution for the Commission and the audience.
The unapproved tentative tract maps on file would have two choices: 1) to re-
submit with proportional credit for fees already paid or 2) be denied without
prejudice. Mr. Lam indicated that he felt it would be in the developer's best
interests to resubmit because it will make the process much easier and faster.
Commissioner Garcia then gave a detailed account of the Committee. He indicated
that of the approved units approrimately 550 would be in the Alta Loma School
District. The remaining would be in the Central School District.
Comments from the public were taken.
Mr. McMurtry, Alta Loma School District Superintendent, indicated that a continua
tion of the building moratorium would allow his school district to eliminate
double session. With the opening of the Stork School, double sessions could
end but that with the available 1760 homes now under construction there will be
an influx of new students. The remaining bonding capacity the school distrir.
has would allow them to build a school to house these additional students; how-
ever, it takes three years to build a school. He stated that there are no other
availabia funds to house those students that would result from any further building
if the moratorium were lifted. He further indicated that pressure must be put on
the legislature *o find some other means of building schools in the future once
the current funding progrsm runs out.
A spokesman for R.J. Investment Company indicated that their company is awaiting
a 20 lot subdivision -- that any further delay would just create a log jam in
July and accomplish little.
Mr. Lam indicated that if the proposal is adopted by the City Council, Staff
will immediately notify all those concerned.
Charles Doskow, Lewis Homes, indicated that they felt there should be some kind
of consideration for those projects that had previously submitted to the County.
Bob Frost, President of the Alta Loma School District, also requested that the
moratorium be continued.
Nancy Kettle, a member of the Alta Loma School Boare, requested that the mora-
torium be continued. She said that trying to be fair to the builders would be
unfair to the youngsters who have to go to school.

MOTION by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Garcia adopting Resolu-
tion 78 -39 and recommend acceptance of the grocth management list as submitted
by Staff. Chairman Rempel requested that an amendment be added to Section 3 of
the Resolution to read, "All existing residential parcel maps currently on file
with the City may be processed after January 1, 1979, and building permits be
allowed to be issued and another amendment to ask our state legislators to
support new school financing. Amendment was seconded by Commissioner Garcia.
Motion carried unanimously.
ZONE CHANGE NO. 78-05 - SOUTHERN CALIFORNic, LUTHERAN CHURCH
The Staff Report was presented by Barry Hogan, Senior Planner.
Commissioner Tolstoy questioned the location of Banyan Avenue at ultimate
development. He suggested that the street be curved.
Doug Hone, representing Southern California 7.utheran Church, indicated that
the church desires to locate a small chapel on that portion of the property
and lease some parking from the Flood Control District because there is an
eighty -eight foot corrider for a water pipe located c.orth and adjacent to the
property line of the site that will sit dormant. This leaves the entire bottom
site for a larger chapel and school at some point in the future.
MOTION by Commissioner Tolstoy, seconded by Commissioner Garcia, to adopt
Negative Declaration for Zone Change No. 78 -05 and Resolution No. 78 -34.
Motion unanimously carried.
ZONE CHANGE NO. 78 -06 - HONE /GORGEN
Mr. Michael Vairin, Associate Planner, presented the Staff Report.
Commissioner Tolstoy expressed concern about the improvements that would be
required on Hellman and Baseline Avenues. Staff Ladlcated that this development
would be contributing its share for the improvement's. Mr. Doug Hone indicated
that all the improvements would be made on the two streets once all the details
have been worked out.
Commissioner. Tolstoy asked about the piece on the corner. Staff indicated that
the piece was an unbuildable lot and that condemnation proceedings by the City
had already begun to enable the City to make the necessary improvements on the
corner.
MOTION by Commissioner Tolstoy and seconded by Commissioner Dahl, to adopt
Negative Declaration for Zone Change No. 78 -06 and to adopt Resolution No.
78 -35. Motion unanimously carried.

VARIANCE NO. 78 -02 - BROADHEAD
The Staff Report was presented by Barry Hogan
Jean B- oadhead, applicant, indicated that the topography was unique in that
the Flood Control Distribt abuts her rear property line and the setback would
not be infringing on anyone.
Ron Smith, friend of the applicant, requested that Staff explain what the
necessity is for rear yard setback requirements.
Mr. Lam indicated it was for many things, among then fire access, light, air
and aesthetics.
MOTION by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Com<issioner Tolstoy to adopt
Resolution No. 78-36 denying Varian_e No. 78 -36. Motion was unanimously
carried.

10, 1979 Planning Commission meeting.
MOTION by Commissioner Tolstoy and seconded by Commissioner Jones to continue
Director Review No. 78 -12 to January 10, 1979. Motion carried unanimously.
DIR,'.CTOR REVIEW NO. 78 -53 - THOMPSON
Michael Vairin gave the staff report.
Commissioner Garcia questioned the location of parking and the lack of land-
scaping on the east property line_ Mr. Vairin indicated that the landscaping
in the front of the building will take care of the situation.
MOTION by Commissioner Dahl and secrad�d by Commissioner Jones to adopt Resolu-
tion.No. 78 -37 and direct staff to pay particular attention to the landscaping
design. Motion carried unanimously.
COUNCIL REFERRAL
MOTION by Commissioner Dahl and seconded by Coumissioner Garcia to consider the
following item beyond the 11:00 p.m. time. Motion carried unanimously.
LIMITATION OF USES ON THE VANIR SITE
Mr. Lam made the staff presentation and indicated this is an item that the
Commission had considered on a previous occasion. The City Council is asking
for a recommendation on the list of uses proposed for the site.
Planning Commission Minutes -6- December 13, 1978
7;
Mr. Gentry, representing Vanir Development, indicated that they wanted clari-
fication on the percentage of A -P requesting that the A -P be limited to 30%.
Commission indicated that a minimum of 5OZ be A -P and retail- commercial could
occupy the reirsinder.
Each Commissioner then listed those items on the proposed use list he would
like removed. The general concensus was than items 1, 3, 6 and 15 should be
eliminated. The applicant wishes to exchange item 14 for item 15.
Clark Bowen, neighbor across the street from this project, indicated that he
th�.:bht the buildings were to have been in line with something like the pryst
of fice.
MOTION by Chairman Rempel, seconded by Commissioner Dahl to limit the retail-
commercial to a maximum of 50% of the building and eliminate items 1, 3, 6 avid
15 from the proposed list of uses. Motion carried unanimously.
Applicants requested that they be allowed to appeal this decision to the City
Council with respect to substituting item lk for item 15. .City Attorney indi-
cated that this was only a Planning Commission recommendation to the City Coun-
cil. They still have the opportunity to speak before the City Council.

BACKGROUND/ ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The applicant proposes to develop the
second phase of a two- phased development at the above described location. The
site is 1.91 acres in size and the proposed buildings would be located on the
southern half of the property. Environmental analysis was not conducted during
review of the first phase of the development, thus, this analysis will consider,_
the entire 1.91 acre site.
ENVIRONMENTAL DISCUSSION: The environmental checklist did not indicate any
significant adverse environmental impacts as a result of this project. Staff
has field checked the site and found no discrepancies with the checklist. The.
site is located within the 100 year flood plain as shown on the Environmental
Constraints Map of the Interim Land Use Element of the General Plan. The
Engineering Division has reviewed this project for flooding and will require
Mitigating measures in the design of the development. Staff found no other
significant adverse environmental impacts associated with this project:
RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that this project will not create a significant
adverse impact on the environment and, therefore, recommends issuance of a
Negative Declaration.

FROM: JACK LAM, Director of Community Development
SLBJECT: Environmental Analysis of a Parcel Map located on the southeast
corner of Haven and Arrow — the subdivision of 11.98 acre parcel
into two 5.98 acre lots.
BACKGROUND /ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The applicant proposes to split the above
described parcel to allow for a light industrial development (Exhibit "A").
The Parcel Map for a larger land area, including the subject property, was
filed with the County of San Bernardino (MS 77- 0233). No evidence of
environmental review was contained in the file, thus, the City is conducting
a full environmental review for the entire site.
The site is vacant and void of significant fauna and flora. Property on all
sides of the subject site is vacant except property to the west which is being
used as a golf course.
ENVIRONMENTAL DISCUSSION; The environmental check list did not indicate any
significant adverse environmental impacts as a result of this project. Staff
has conducted field investigations on this site and has found no discrepancies
with the check list. The site is not subject to flood damage and grading will
not create any significant environmental impacts on the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that this project will not create a significant
adverse impact on the environment and therefore recommends the issuance of a
Negative Declaration.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 10, 1979
To: Planning Commission
From: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
Subject: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 79 -01 -SIGN ORDINANCE - An
Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to add a new sign ordinance
and repeal all existing sign regulations
BACKGROUND: As the Planning Commission is aware, Planning Division Staff
has been working on a new sign ordinance for the past several months. Staff
has been working closely with the Sigu Committee and the Chamber of Commerce
and has held a study session with the Planning Commission. The proposed ordi-
nance is approaching finalization once the City Attorney's comments are incor-
porated into the ordinance.
The ordinance is not ready for review and public hearing at this meeting.
40 However, a copy of the final draft will be distributed to the Commission
4 some time this week for their review prior to the meeting of January 24,
1979. Therefore, Staff recommends that the public hearing be continued to
January 24, 1979.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commis-
sion continue the public hearing on the sign ordinance to their meeting
of January 24, 1979.

OITY OF RANCHO CU MONGA
STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 10, 1979
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendwent No. 79 -02 - Amending the Nome Occupation
Sections of the Zoning Ordinance by repealing Section 61.024A(b)(3)
and adding Section 61.0219(a)(9) and amending the definition of'home
occupation Ja Section 61.022.
BACKGROUND: A home occupation is typically a business -like use that may be per-
mitted in a home if such uae meets certain criteria or conditions. Such conditions '
or criteria are typically imposed upon home occupations to insure that the use
will not be detrimental to surrounding homes or property. One of the major rea-
sons for regulation of home occupations, is to insure that the use is clearly
incidental and subordinate to the primary use of the structure as a dwelling.
The existing home occupation regulations within the Zoning Ordinance (Exhibit
"A ") does not contain review and approval procedures or conditions for proper
regulation. In order to protect residential areas from incompatible business-
like uses, strict regulations are needed. The present regulations do not
accomplish this. Therefore, staff recommmends amending the Ordinance to provide
the regulatory controls necessary to protect residential areas.
ANALYSIS: Attached is a copy of the recommended change in the ordinance.
Basically, the proposed regulations require Director approval based upon the
conditions listed, in order to conduct a home occupation.
This amendment accomplishes three changes relative to home occupations:
1) repeals the existing provisions in its entirety; 2) redefines home occupation.;
and, 3) establishes new regulations within the General Provisions section of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Attached is the environmental analysis of this amendment. Such analysis did not
reveal any signifinant adverse impacts as a result of this project. Therefore,
a Negative Declaration is recommended.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends, after the public hearing, that
the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 79 -04 and t ^ansfer such recommendation
Lo the City Council.

STAFF REPORT
From: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
Subject: Planning Comeission 'Administraclve Regulations:
BACKGROUND: At the December 13, 1978 Planning. Commission meeting the Admin-
istrative Regulations were discussed. Certain changes were recommended by
Staff and have been made on the Ftteched copy marked Exhibit "A ". Additionally,
the Planning Comaission discussed the category of attendance (See 0- 2).-Basi-
cally, there were two issues:
1) Excused absences
2) Unexcused absences
It was suggested that the Planning Commission adopt a maximum of 25Z absence's
in any calendar year as grounds for removal. This would allow six (5) absences
over 24 meetings. The unexcused absences center about two numbers; they were
two ( ?) and three (3).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Conmisrlon: 1) establiab
the excused and unexcused absences allowed prior to removal, and 2) adopt Reso-
lution No. 79-03 establishing Exhibit "A" as the Planning Commission Administra-
tive Regulation.

COUNCIL REFERRALS OF GENERAL PLAN ISSUES
0
BACKGROUND: The City Council, at its meeting of January 3, 1979f held
its first public hearing on the proposed interim elements of the General
Plan. Many major land use issues were reviewed ly the City Council and
the majority of their decisions were to uphold the Planning Commission
recommendations. The Commission is to be for their deci-
sions and recommendations on the General Plan. The Council, however, has
referred several issues to the Planning Commission for their guidance and
recommendation prior to their final decision. We bra happy to ass tare
these issues are ones that the Commission did not previously review.
0 ANALYSIS:
O1. Area: North side of Foothill Blvd. between Turner and Center Avenue
,; A, +General Plan Designation: Service commercial on the northwest corner
�/ mixed use for the remaining frontage along Foothill Blvd. and
1ow density residential for the rear portion of the area.
t{ssue: .;wners desire service commercial. across the Foothill frontage
between Turner and Center and high density residential to the
lv� rear.
Factors: The existing service commercial designation encompasses a
convenient market, motel /apartment, and a restaurant. The mixed use
area encompasses several single dwellings, one tire business, and much
vacant land. The tire business is contained within one small building
that could be easily converted to accommodate other uses as the building
appears not to contain any hydraulic car lifts. T'�e Commission has dis-
cussed the issue of commercial along Foothill Blva. and has favored res-
tricting the Foothill corridoi from becoming one long commercial strip.
The Commissions' intent thus far has been to incorporate other land uses
along Foothill to create a dynamic balance of land uses. Extending the
service commercial designation to Center Avenue would be in conflict with
the Commissions' past decisions. In addition, there are not significant
existing commercial uses that would warrant this commercial extension. As
the parcels in this area are 600' in depth and because of individual par -
celization, Staff recommends that the rear ;cztion of this area be desig-
nated as mixed use. Under one designation, development can occur in a more
logical manner.

COUNCIL REFERRALS OF 416AL PLAN ISSUES

RECOMMENDATION: Retain designation along AFoothill Blvd. frontage and
change the rear portion to mixed use.
2. Area: East side of Haven between Highland and Lemon
General Plan Designation: Mised use and luw density residential
Issues Owner desires extension of mixed use to Lemon Avenue
Factors: The land is presently vacant. There is an existing single
family subdivision on the northeast corner of Lemon aild Haven. Lemon
Avenue will not likely continue easterly to provide access to this resi-
dential area. If mixed use is allowed to front along Lemon, than there
will be problems with land use incompatibilities and circulation patterns.
By retaining the residential strip along the south side of Lemon, it
would segregate mixed use traffic with residential traffic as Lemon
would be used exclusively for access to these residential areas. The
freeway frontage road, which is shown on the plan, is not definite and
could be aligned to service the entire mixed use area without channeling
mixed use traffic through residential areas. In addition, there are too
many unknown factors An terms of specific site considerations, the free-
way, and the frontage road.
RECOMMENDATIONS Retail General Plan designation.
3. Area: South aide of Foothill Blvd. between Rochester Avenue and Day
Creek
General Plan Designation: Minimum Impact Industrial
Al Issue: Owner desires commercial designation
Factors: The owner is concerned that his existing winery would not be
allowed to expand or be iaoroved. The General Plan text, under historic
preservation, indicates that the majority of the winery's have special
historical significance and that they will have to be studied as possibly
allowing provisions for restaurants and retail wine shops. Staff there-
fore sees no reason to alter the existing designation.
RECOMMENDATION: Retail General Plan designation.
Area: North side of Baseline, west of Archibald, adjacent to the
existing Alpha Beta Shopping Center

for development of a two story office building located at 8030

Again, Staff feels that this project is premature and should be denied with —
cut prejudice; thus allowing the applicant to reapply once adequate flood
protection facilities have been provided on the Cucamonga Creek.
Item uClo
,,y
BACKGROUND: As the Commission will recall, this item has been before them
on two previous occasions. First, on October 11, 1978, at which time the
Staff recommended denial without prejudice based on insoluble flood control
problems due to the unimproved state of the Cucamonga Creek. The Planning
Commission continued review of the project to the December 13, 1978 meeting
to allow the applicant time to prepare the necessary hydrology study. Such
study was to analyze the potential flood hazard problems and the m"tigating
measures necessary to protect the site. The applicant has submitted plans
indicating mitigating measures but no data in terms of the affects of those
flood protection devices on adjacent or downstream properties.
Attached, please find a letter from the San Bernardino County Flood Control
District. You will note the letter suggests that a concrete block wall should
be. constructed to withstand 3' to 4' of debris load and that the proposed wall
have a minimum 3' differential elevation above natural ground to the buildings
finished floor elevation. The letter further states that as recently as 1969,
Cucamonga Creek has overflowed its banks and flooded across the site. Addi-
tionally the district suggests that our City Engineer look at the effects of
adjacent downstream property that would be affected due to construction of the
suggested wall on the proposed site.
The City's positicin remains the same. We feel that if this site is approved
with the proposed walls that we would be in violation of Ordinance No. 24
establishing regulations in accordance with the Department of Housing and
Urban Development Department Flood Insurance Program, which basically states
that the City of Rancho Cucamonga is eligible for federal grants in the course
of £loud disasters, if the City insures that any new development is reasonably
protected from major flood hazards. Failure to follow the Flood insurance
provisions woula jeopardize financial aid to all portions of the City.
Again, Staff feels that this project is premature and should be denied with —
cut prejudice; thus allowing the applicant to reapply once adequate flood
protection facilities have been provided on the Cucamonga Creek.

Re: Zone 1, Cucamonga Creek
Attention: Hr. Lloyd Hubs,
City Engineer
Subject: Submitted Dcvclopmr-.t Flars, ndjaaeat to Cucamonga Creek;
North of Foothill Boulevard, City of 'Rancho Cucamonga
Dear Mr. Hubs:
Reference is made to the submitted development plans for subject parcel.
An is known, the site is located in close proximity to Cucamonga Creek, and
subject to serious infrequent flood hazards therefrom. You naked that we
review the plans and provide comments regarding the adequacy of the proposed
wall and site grading to protect the site and adjacent properties. We have
reviewed the plans and offer the following comments relative thereto:
a) The concrete block wall should be a structural block wall
designed to withstand 3 to 4 feet of debris load, based
on 40 pounds per square foot, equivalent fluid pressure.
The wall structure should extend along the entire went
boundary, and southerly on Vineyard, tying into the
existing office building.
b) Due to the close proximity of the proposed office building
to Cucamonga Creek, and potential heavy debris loads which
could overtop the proposed wall, a minimum 3 feet differ-
ential elevation above natural ground to the buildings fin-
iehed floor elevation is recommendee,
With the above protective measures incorporated in the design of the develop-
ment, flood hazards to the site would be reduced to that of a residual
nature. As recently as during the floods of 1969, Cucamonga Creek has over-
flowed its banks upstream of the site, and overflowed across the site. Due
to the heavy debris loads which accompany the overflow, debris could overtop
the wall and *enter onto the site. These problems will be virtually eliminated,
upon completion of the Cucamonga Creek Federal Project presently undei
construction in its lower reaches.
El
City of Rancho Cucamonga
December 28, 1978
Page Two
Regarding effects on adjacent and downstream properties due to construction
of the proposed wall, the following comments are afforded. In the event
flood flows are intercepted by the wall, they will be conveyed along the
wall, either to San Diego or Vineyard Avenues. This will effectively
concentrate the flows at these locations. It is not known what effect
this could have on the adjacent and downstream properties, and it is
recommended the City review this in conjunction with the developer's
engineer and determine what adverse effects it may present. In addition,
the F.I.A. Program requires that in keeping sound flood plain management,
the base flood elevation of Cucamonga Creek should be increased by no
more than 1 foot. The City should review this further with the developer's
engineer.
If we can provide any further assistance, please advise.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 10, 1979
To: Planning Commission
From: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development
Subject: DIRECTOR R=EW 78 -58 - LONGLE - Request for development of a
retail. /wholesale building materials and supply center with outdoor
storage and sales located on the south side of Foothill Blvd.,
1,000'+ west of the Devore Freeway in the C -2 (General Business)
and M -1 (Limited Manufacturing) Zone.
BACKGROUND: On September 13, 1978, Zone Change 123 -81 was recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City
Council on September 20, 1973. The change of zone on the subject property
was from A -1 (Limited Agriculture) to C -2 (General Business) and M -1 (Limited
Manufacturing). At the time of the public hearing at both the Planning Commis-
sion level and City Council level the following concerns were expressed:
1. Proximity to the proposed regional shopping center indicated on
the proposed General Plan.
2. Compatibility wish that proposed shopping center in terms of land
use, design and aesthetics.
3. The expectation for high quality design for any development on the
subject property.
At the close of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings, the Staff
reiterated that the C -2 portion of the site was to be a retail use; for
example, a hardr!are store that might have s me outdoor displa The primary
use in a commercial zone is for retail sale within a bu ing of for storage.
The proposal by the appl ca�`�Ye - tempt to disguise
an industrial use in a commercial zone. The Ordinance c'oes not permit building
material storage yards in the C -2 zone but the M - I zone.
ANALYSIS In our opinion, the site plan ..a proposed is misconceived and tries
to disguice an industrial use in a commercial zone. The proposal would not promote
the proposed character of the area and would not promote the high quality of
development previously approved along Foothill Blvd. Commercial zoning must
be used for commercial uses (uses primarily within a building), and not for
storage yards.
RECCMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Commission adopt Resolution No.
79 -01 denying Director Review No. 78 -58.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 10, 1978
go: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: JACK LAM, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE 87 -73 -- Jerry Rodgers — Changing the zone from
FP-2 (Flood Plain) to A -P (Administrative-Professional) for
property located on the south side of Baseline, 775' west of
Vfneyerd Avenue_
BACKGROUND: This item was heard at the Planning Commission meeting of April
26, 1978 where the applicant requested a change of zone from FP-2 to R -3.
At that time, the Commission expressed concern over the flooding and erosion
hazards associated with the site and required an Environmental Impact Report
(see Minutes of April 26, 1978 meeting).
The application was later heard at the Planning Commission meeting of August 9,
1978 and continued to January 10, 1979 because of the existing residential
moratorium. Since the August 9 meeting, the applicant has amended his request
to change the zone from FP -2 to AP (see letter, dated December 20, 1978), to
develop a professional office building. Staff accepted this request in that the
proposed land use is in conformance with the proposed General Plan.
The General Plan designation for this site is Mixed Use and the surroui:ding
land use and zoning is as follows-
Zoning Land Use
.North R -1 Alta Loma High School
West R -1 Vacant
South FP -2 Vacant
East FP -2 Park
ANALYSIS"
Environmental Review - Staff has reviewed this application for adverse environ-
mental impacts resulting from future development on this site. A significant
potential impact to development is possible erosion of the building pad during
flooding periods. As mentioned, the Planning Commission had required an EIR
for a zone change to R -3 because of the erosion potential. Staff feels that tha
possible erosion hazard is an effect of development not of zoning, therefore,
an EIR would not be appropriate at the zone change level. It should be made
clear to the applicant, however, that detailed studies indicating proposed
mitigation measures will be required prior to development of the property.
We reserve the right to require additional environmental data at the site
development stage. Staff is therefore recomnending issuance of a Negative De-
claration for this zone change.
iThe San Bernardino County Flood Control District has reviewed the request
and has submitted a letter stating that they have no objections to the Zone
Change (Exhibit "e ")• „ „
