in the landscape area and tc increase the landscaping.
Commissioner Sceranka asked about the berming that wa: to occur at the

curb be ,' -i and if more height is needed, a small retaining wall be
bail; in back of -.he sidewalk.
Mr. Vairin expiair,ed that a condition has been imposed to that effect
oecaur Hermosa is a water carrying street and additional curb height
is nccussaty to increase the capacity for flood control purposes.

(APN ]08- 351 -13)
Mr. Paul Rou.geau, Senior Civil Engineer, reviewed the staff r eport.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that there is a requirement that street
improvements are to be built. He asked where they would go.
Mr. Rougeau replied that that is the only remaining requirement and the median.
will go from Arrow to the new street, Sequoia, and will be about a quarter
mile in '.. 19th.
Commissioner King asked how access will be limited off of Haven.
Mr. Rougeau explained that 2 driveways that would come off of Parcel No. 1.
He felt that restricting to less than 2 driveways would be a disadvantage
and indicated that the spacing would be consistent with the access policy.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked that since this is a planned project, who has
the review right_ of what is built on thi.s site. if a piece of property
is split, how are controls of the master planning carried out.
Mr. Hogan replied that Mr. Corrigan of the Daon Corporation could better
answer this.

that they have an active review committee to review projects that come
before them before they come before the Planning Commission for review.
Further, that this includes the entire 290 acres.

hearing was closed.

adopt Resolution No. 81 -09, approving the Environmental Assessment and
Parcel Map No. 6617.

industrial subdivision of 6.09 acres into 2 parcels with the M -R
zone located on the west side of Hellman Avenue, 433 feet + south
of 9th Street. (APN 209- 013 -24)

(DEWAYNE BUTLER) - The construction. of four (4) industrial b
totaling 49,528 square feet on 6.77 acres of land in the M-R
zone located at 8787 Hellman Avenue. (APN 209 - 011 -43)
Mr. Paul Rougeau, Senior Civil Engineer, reviewed the staff report, stating
that a note was to be added to the map prior to recordation that would
say that, future extension of Lion Street may be required. That way, he
stated, no further dedication would be needed on the parcel map for parcel
Nc. 2 below the extension of Lion Street.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if what Mr. Rougeau was saying was that parcel.
No. 1 would be improved without extension of Lion Street and then parcel
No. 2 when developed, would bear the cost of the improvements at a later
date. This would have to come before the Commission for their approval.
Mr. Rougeau replied that this would happen in any event. Further, that
any development of parcel. No. 2 would have to come before staff and
the Commission prior to development.
Mr. Lam stated that of the two ways that this can be done, the offer
of dedication is the stronger. The offer is obtained up front whereas,
on the other condition, it Is set forward. He further added that depending
on which direction the Planning Commission wished to go they could make
their selection of one over the other.
Mr.. Rougeau advised that one option would involve possible problems for
the City in the future. If the development occurs on the large parcel
to the south it would preclude the type of circulation that they envision.
He added that the map that was attached to the staff report shows one
possible concept of the circulation in the area..
Commissioner King asked if you assume that Lion Street will be extended,
what will the distance be east to Wilson.
Mr. Rougeau replied that it would be approximately 150 feet.
Commissioner King asked if that was enough to do things with.
Planning Con.ni.s -ion Minutes -5- January 28, 1981
Mr. Rougeau replied that it would blend in w -th those to the south. dEL
Mr. Rougeau a'Go explainer ',,at ti ".i: ii,te that was to be added would appear.
on Parcel No. 2 so that there would be no possibility that anyone 9eveloping
would be unaware that there is a requirement for the extension of Lion
Street.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that he did not notice a requirement for an
easement appurtenant to Parcel No. 2.
Mr. Hogan replied that it is not specifically stated, but on page 1 there
is a rr�qui.rement by the City Engineer that could be used to achieve
necessary easements and that it is really pertinent to Item 1, and y ^.rhaps
the Commission could take ection on that item at the time it is addressed.
Commissioner Rempel stated that two weeks ago, the Commission had a
requirement for sidewalks and then it was changed back agai.r to sidewalks
oa one side of the street.
Mr. Rougeau replied tha.t since Hellman is a secondary street and not a
major thoroughfare, the requirement fur sidewalks on both sides would
be inappropriate.
Commissioner Rempel stated that he felt that there should be a requirement
for sidewalks along Hellman.
Commissioner Tol.stoy stated that he felt that sidewalks in the industrial
area should be a requirement for people who will be taking a bus to work
anc: those in ,,'ni -car pools who would walk from the car pool to their
place of work.
Mr. : ::c stated tLat perhaps the Planning Commission could give staff
direction on how comprehensive a plan they would like in the industrial
area.
Commissioner Tempel stated that it was known that Hellman will be heavily
travelled if the water is controlied on it. Further, that any street of
that nature should have sidewalks on one side.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that it would be appropriate to look at
pedestrian routes from future transit stops. He indicated that there is
no way that people can get from Arrow except along this street and that
is not an example of good planning. He further stated that he would
like to look at individual streets in conjunction with transit and that
they should see if transit stops will occur at those points.
Mr.. Lam ssked if a sidewalk policy should be implemented of having sidewalks
on one side of streets down. to the secondary level.
Planning Commission Minutes -6- January 28, 1981
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that there are times when he feels that
smaller streets should also have side,.-olks on one side. However, he
would certainly be in favor now of saying that secondary streets should
renuire sidewalks on one aide.
Chairman Dail opened the public hearing.
Mr. Jack Corrigan stated thn.t he would like some clarification from the
Commission and staff at this time and asked if there would be any
different consideration from tt•- Planning Commission and the City si.nr_e
in their master plan they were required to put in sidewalks on both
sides of the street and the discussion now centers on putting in sidewalks
on Only one side.
Chairman D.'.1 replied that the comment was that they be at least on one
side of .he street.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that his feeling is that on secondary and
major streets they should be required because he does not want to see
people jaywalking the street_ in order to get to a sidewalk. The smaller
streets will probably i.1-t carry as much traffic so as to preclude people
from crossin.- the street to get to a sidewal.k.
There being no further comments, the public portion was closed.
Am The Commission then went on to item 1, with Barry Hogan, City Planner
reviewing the staff report.
Commissioner Sceranka asked if condition No. 5 is only a request to
change the landscaping by t applicant or if it is a part of the staff
condition.
Mr. Hogan replied that it is not a condition of the applicant but a staff
suggested condition.
Commissioner Sceranka asked what the material is on the north side of the
property that will buffer it from the adjacent property.
Mr. Hogan replied that no fencing is proposed.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that north of this is Carisma Spas, with
a great amount of unscreened storage. He further stated that he cannot
conceive that any other user could appreciate locating below without
some protected view. He stated that he would like to see some des .e
landscaping or screening along these two properties.
Barry 'Hogan replied that the screening on the existing property should
have been taken care of by the County; however, if denser landscaping
was desired by the applicant, it can be done.
AML
Planning Commission Minates -7- January 28, 1981
Commissioner Scerania stated that he was not saying that r. fence or
a block wall was needed only that screening was required and that he
would prefer to see dense screening as part of the protect.
Chairman Dahl opened the public hearing.
Mr. DeWayne Butler, 15202 Downey A-ienue, Paramount, addressed the Commission
and stated that he had net received the staff report and therefore did
not know what the staff recomnendacicn was. Mr. Hogan provided Mr. Butler
with a copy of the report.
Mr. Hogan then reiterated the: conditions contained on the parcel map
requirli;g Lion Street at the time of development of t'sae parcel and emergency
access from parcel one to parcel two off of Hellman.
There being no further comments, the public portion -oas closed.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that the Commission mast be strong up front
and not pussyfoot around. He further stated that Lion Street was needed
and should be dedicated at this time and that "he Commission should state
that it: is.
Commissioner King stated that he had not problems with the parcel split
and .agreed with Commissioner Tolstoy on the offer of dedication. Further,
he indicated that sidewalks should be required on Hellman.
Commissioner Sceranka indicated that he knows that it is difficult for WN
people who live and work in the area to get around especially in the rain
and especially out of the driveways on Hellman. He stated that he dial
not like the idea of a parcel. map being submitted to circumvent a. problem
that still exists. As a City official, he stated, l.e must do something
to ensure that the problem is alleviated. He stated further that there
must be secondary acce!;s in this project and did not know what that might
be but would not approve it without it.
Mr. Rougeau replied that the secondary eccess will be approved by the Fire
Department to involve properly compacted material for the driveway .nd
surface and blend la with the vacant land.
Commissioner Sceranka stated that there is a barrier at the south part of
Lion Street that would have to be removed and that he has no objection.
to the emergency access as long as it can be used by employees.
He further stated that he did not feel it appropriate for the parcel
map *o go through unless there is access.
Mr. Hogan stated that the access off of Lion Street has been provided by
the condition. Further, that if the Commission concurs with the stipulation
on the Director Review, the Commission can state that it can come back
before Design Review to see how that will work.

There was further discussion rei.itive to the offer of dedication and the
possibility that Lion Street may stub.
Mr. Lam stated that it would be possible to ask for an offer of dedication
on the parcel. map and then condition parcel 2 to guarantee that it will
go thror ;h if needed.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that the City should be put in the best position
it can.
Mr. Lam explained the emergency access easement.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Tolstoy, seconded by Sceranka,
carried unanimously, to adopt Resolution No. 81 -09; to accept_ the parcel
split and offer of dedicaticn of Lion Street to Hellman; a condition for
sidewalks; the resolution of emergency access; and the deletion of condition
No. 7 with the addition of condition No. 8.

wash within the C -1 zone.
Michael. Vairin, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report. Following this,
Mr. Lam stated that the Commission will be making a judgement as to whether
a car wash is :0.1.owable in a C -1 zone under certain conditions.
Conanissicner Tolstoy asked if a detailing area would be allowed at the
car wash and if any noise would. result.
Mr. Vairin replied that there would be an outside detailing area.
Mr. Lam stated that the Co m1i.Esion is only examining whether a car wash
is allowable in the C -1 zone and not whether this is an appropriate site
for a car wash.
Mr. Arnold Anderson, the applicant, indicated that Ice felt that the operating
area would be shielded from view of the apartments that presently exist
on the site and that there would be no appreciable increase in noise.
Commissioner King stated that he thiuks that wl -tat the Connnissicn is dealing
with is a resolution_ that will allow car washes in the C -1 areas. A
specific parcel has been brought before design review and there were some
reservations with the appropriateness of design.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated that• if the site is appropriate f,,r a car
wash he did not see why it coull: not be put in that kind of zone for
that use.
Commissioner Sceranka agreed with Commissioner Tolstoy.
Chairman Dahl stated that he agreed but would like to see a CUP on it-
Further, that with a good operator, the car wash could be handled well..
Commissioner Rempel stated that he agreed. Further, that it was ridiculous
to drive it into an industrial rune which is the only other place you could
have it.

UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PP.=SS
Mr. Lam requested th:.c this item be placed later in tte agenda.
L. GENERAL PU,N ITEMS
SCHOOL-SITE-LOCATION POLICY
Mr.. Tim Beedle, Senior Planner., proai.ded information on the location of
schools and designations on the proposed General. Plan map. Further, that
tl.: tentative location of schools cn the map are designated through
the use of upper case letters, E for elementary schools, J for junior
high schools, and H for high schools. Mr. Beedle stated that it was
not intended that these designations bc. interpreted as a permanent
location, but that it expressed a need for a school in a particular
area.
Mr. Beedle provided a policy statement which could be.inserted in the
text indicating that the sites are tentative and asked the Commission
to consider this recommendation and the map exhibit. Mr.. Beedle stated
that this would then be inserted into the General Plan text as a graphic.
Mr. Floyd Stork, representing the Alta Loma School District, advised of
the school sites that were currently available and indicated that some of
those shown on the map we -e not, in fact, readily available to the school.
district. Further, that a site could not be purchased t.y the school
district until the State had certified that a need exists. He further
indicated that it might be possible to sell a current site and purchase
another, however, clarification was needed en that. Mr. Stark stated that
it is a lot easier to acquire a 10 -acre site than a 20 -acre site and that
the school district will need to have five more elementary school sites.
Commissioner Sceranka asked about the J shown on Wilson Avenue.
Mr.. Beedle replied that this site was not removed as staff was waiting for
the Commi.ssian's action. He further stated that that particular site is
a preferred Alta Loma School. District site.

Planning Commission. Minutes -il- January 28, 1981
Commissioner Sceranka asked Mr. Story, if he would be comfortable with a
junior high school either adjacent to a high school or with a park in
between.
Mr. Stork replied that he would not like to see the schools adjacent to
each other but with a park In between.
Commissioner Sceranka asked if this was something that. the school district
would like the City not to perpetuate.
Mr. Stork replied that if there is a choice for the school district to
make them keep the schools apart as this is good educational plann"Eng_
Mr. Story: also related the number of studentF. chat could be handled by this
district.
Commissioner King asked Mr. Stork If the only site not being used is the
one on Beryl.
Mr. Stork. replied that there is one on Wilson but basically, within two
years, there would be a need for a school. but there are no plans for a
school at that location.
Commissioner King asked about the submittal of housing units to the school
district.
Mr. Lam explained the notification procedure to the school district.
Motion: Moved by Sceranka, seconded by Tol.stoy, to show school sites IF
on the map and change the text as entered under the recommendation portion
and have it apply to the school site location map in lieu of the tent
in that portion sbotni on Exhibit "A".
Commissioner Rempel stated that he hoped the Commission realized that as
soon as you plug in the map people will see a school site next to where
they want to purchase a home and wtll expect that a school will be built
there and become very upset when it isn't. lie felt that the existing
schools should be shown on the map but. did not know if the tentative
sites should be shown.
Commissioner Tolstoy replied that he couldn't imagine how the word tentative
on a map could be a problem.
Mr. Lain explained that this is really not as complex as it may seem.
Further, that in order for school site purchase to occur, it must be shown
on the General Plau. The issue was, did the Commission want any statement
that these are not the exact sites and relate to the need of the school
district.
Commissioner Tol..stoy stated that he agreed and that the statement must
be made and that they needed to be marked. The motion made previously
carried unanimously.

FOURTH STREET AND ARCHIBAL',) AVENUE SITE
Barry Hogan, City Pl7nner., reviewed the staff report, prcviding the options
relative to this parcel. a, ._ti.ng that option No. 3 would be the one that
is favored.
Commissioner. Sccranka aske• determination had been made by the Park
and Recreation Department that a park would be required on this property.
Mr. Hogan replied that staff would s!e;;gest that it be considered as it
was shown en the John B7.ayrey elan co be a five -acre park.
Commissioner Sccranka asked if staft realized the close proximity of the
Cucamonga Guasti Park, to this site.
Mr.. Beedle replied that staff had discussed this with Mr. Holley and he
indicated that a park, is needed on that particular site.
Commissioner Sccranka replied that it is difficult to know what you mean
by defining a conceptual plan for the remaining arreage.
Mr. Hogan replied that the applicant will be coming in with a plan telling
what he wants to do in specific terms. Further, that what they are trying
to do is have some thought given to the remaining project and how it Tail].
fit. He did nor. mean detailing in setback and size. but in concept. It
would be similar to Daon project and its types o1` uses.
Mr. Lam stated that it the past we have had a pubjic hearing and people want
the best use possible for the area. Further., that there is desire on the
Planning Commission's part to com^_ up and plan this area and have the property
owners have some voice. From the City's perspeezive, he stated that there
was concern. They want adequate cornmerr_ial possibility and that they
have a proposal that will take in as many consideration; as posrible for
that land use. Thi2 other issue, he stated is how much agreement there is
on a master plan for that site. If everyone has a conflicting idea, it
will not wori..
Chairman Dahl asked if it would be possible to also consider a certain
amount of use of this property.
Mr. Lam replied that the Commission will have to consider thir, tonight_ and
that they can pet into the issue of master planning. Further, there is
also the possibility of more p :,cise designation. Mr. Lam stated that the
Commission will have to des.gnate general uses on the plan.
Mr. (Sill Patton, 210 Santiago, Newpa'rt Beach, provided the Commissior with
a report: and map and indicated that lie had contacted as many propert,
owners as possible relative to his plan for the area. He indicated that
92% of those he had contacted were in agreement and read a letter from
the Lusk Company, which had been included in the Planning Commission's
ptcket. lie showed a map as to property owners who were represented by it.
Planning Commission Minutes -13- January 28, 1981
He indicated that the Lusk Comp.nv was requesting medium and high land us;:
and asked that this be read into thcz reLord.
He stated that in another letter ht had requested commercial at the bottom
of the rap. Mr. Patton stated than because the Planning Commission :.sked
for a meetirg between the rreperty owners they had to considar not only
the land use but the long - range uses of the property. Be indic...ted that
his family was in fanning and was not thinking, about relocating at this
time. Further, that lie was only a representative for this group, but
he felt that there is a need to buffer the existing properties from any
new residential.
lie spoke of his thoughts relat .'ve to land.scs,.ping Luis area to act as
buffering.
Mr. Paul 'Burns, representing Marlborough Hames, 2029 Century Park East,
Los Angeles, slated that they are residential dc- 7el-opers and would like to
see an much of this area as possible designated for the medium and bip,h

the best opportunity to represent the need for the area and the City.
Additionally, that tYcy would be willing to work farther in coordination
of certain developmert. He felt that then° were a majority of p=roperty
owners that can and will work togcther.
Commissioner Scer-anka asked if Mr. Burns thought there should be pry
residential on Archibald 'itself.
Mr. Burns replied that the only way to handle residential. would be with
some very effective noise buffering as this is a very busy street.
There was considerable discussion on the type of coamtercial and how the
plan would he developed using the Patton concept for this area.
Commissioner Sceranki asked if what Mr. Pat.too was stating was that he
was not opposed to master planning, as long as the land uses are as they
should be.
Mr. Patton stated that he considerel what they proposed a maste-- plan.
Mr. Burns stated that he felt the plans were similar and felt that
they will hold on to their property because of the time feasibility
from a commercial standpoint.
Chairman Dahl stated that they have a design to have hotel, motel and dinner
houses coming in. He thought they will be needed much sooner than. what
the owners are willing to cone in. He felt that the services will be
needed and was not sure that they were even considering them.
Mr. Burns stated that their marketing people did not think commercial was
feasible on this property on any large scale.

the rest, he felt that it should be more along the lines of office and
believed that some sort of master plan would be nice in getting what the
