REVISION TO TRACT YAP 11734 - DLV - Located at the northwest corner oC Vineyard Avenue and Arrow Route. A change from 5 -lot condominium subdivision to 6 -lot subdivision. B. EXTENSION OF APPROVAL FOR PARCEL MAP 6636 - STEVENS - An industrial subdivision of 6.09 acres into 2 parcels located on the west side of Hellman Avenue, approximately 433' south of 9th Street - APN 209- 011 -43. Chairman King stated that the presentation of a Commendation Resolution t, former Commissioner Peter Tolstoy was postponed until Mr. Tolstoy's retun from his vacation. PUBLIC HEARINGS C_ ZONE CHANCE 80-11 - NEEVA - A request for a change of zone from A. 1 -5 (Limited Agricultural - 5 acres) to R- 1- 20,000 (Single Family Minimum 20,000 Square Foot Lots) and R -3 (Multiple Family Residential) for approximately 65 acres of land located on the south side of Wilson Avenue, east and adjacent to Chaf£ev College - APN 201 - 191 -07. D. =' ATIVE TRACT 11550 - NEEVA - A residential project consisting of 508 condominiums and S single family dwellings on 65 acres generally located on the south side of Wilson, one -half -Wile east of Haven Avenue in the A -1 -5 zone (a change of zone pending to P.-1- 20,000 and R -3) - APN 201 - 191 -07. Chairman King stated that since these two items are directly related, they would be presented concurrently. Michael Vairin, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff reports. Commissioner Stout stated that one of the conditions centers on the signal at Banyan and Haven and asked how it will fit in with the signal at Chaffey College. Paul Rougeau, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that the signal proposed would have to be coordinated with the one at Chaffey College and it was possible that this could be done. Commissioner Stout asked if Banyan is going to go across Haven. Mr. Rougeau replied that it will. Chairman King asked if construction on the Banyan loop will begin with the second phase. Mr. Vairin repflied that it will and would terminate with phase 4; additionally, it would subsequently meet with Wilson Avenue. Chairman King asked if the model home area would go along Banyan. Mr. Vairin replied that it would. Chairman King asked what jurisdictional aspects there would be for the interior loop and whether this would be a public or private road as it relates to phase tw6 of the construction. Mr. Vairin replied that the City will not be asking for dedication at that point and would remain a private road until dedication is received. Further, that when it is widened to its full width, it will become a public street. Planning Commission Minutes -2- July 14, 1982 e Chairman King voiced his concern on the possible .liability which might be incurred by the City for a temporary road which did not meet proper standards. Mr. Rougeau stated that the possibility of liability is negligible since the roadway would be considered a driveway at this point. Mr. Hopson stated that the City does not have to accept dedication until the full and correct width of the road is made. Further, he indicated that the City would want to avoid maintaining a road not up to the city's standards and until the City accepts dedication, they would not assume liability. Chairman King opened the public hearing. Mr. Larry Wolff stated that Mr. Don King, who prepared the environmental study for this tract, and the owner, were here to answer any questions that the Commission might have. Mr. Roy Schauben, representing the Deer Creek Home Owners Association, stated that they had attended many meetings with the developer and with the exception of one problem relating to the line of sight for the people on Wilson Avenue, felt that the developer had improved the tract proposed substantially and therefcre the association has no objections to the tract as proposed. Commissioner Rempel asked if Mr. Wolff would comment on the issue of line of sight. Mr. Wolff replied that he was unaware that the homeowners wished to have the 8 single- family residences at the lower level recessed. He stated that he had no objection to doing this as he would only have to revise the first 100 feet of the northerly strip of the property. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner barker expressed concern relative to the tie into the Trail Master Plan aqd asked if this had been discussed with the Trails Committee. Commissioner Rempel stated that the area being discussed here was beyond the trail area. Mr. Vairin explained that interface with the :faster Plan of Trails is required especially along the Banyan extension and along Wilson. However, Mr. Vairin further explained that the details would be worked out further in the process. Mr. Vairin also stated that they are not sure whether the trails would be on the north or south side of the street. Planning Commission Minutes -3- July 14, f482 Commissioner Rempel stated that the trails could not be on the south side of Wilson Avenue. Further, that a part of the trail is intended to be on the Deer Creek ch=nnel as there is no actual trail on this property. Chairman King stated that the only thing he could say is that two years have passed since this project last came before the Commission and it was good to know that the surrounding residents who would. be immediately affected have reached a compromise in which everyone is pleased. Chairman King indicated that Barmakian, Wolff, Lang, Christopher have done n good job on this project. Motion: Ploved by pempei, seconded by McNiel, carried unanimously, to adopt Resolution No. 82 -67 approving Zone Change 80 -11 and recommending this to the City Council.. Motion: Moved by Rempel, seconded by Stout, carried unanimously, to adopt Resolution No. 82 -68, with the added condition that the line of sight be preserved for the Deer Creek residents. E_ ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIIVE TRACT 12184 - TOWN AND COUNTRY - A total residential development of a 32 -lot subdivision on 8.5 acres of land in the R -1 zone located on the east side of Beryl, south of Base Line - APN 208 - 011 -49. Senior Planner, Michael Vairin, reviewed the staff report. Chairman King asked what kind of treatment would be used at the end of the cul -de -sac. Mr. Vairin replied that it would be left open and would be turfed in order to allow emergency vehicles in. He further indicated that there will be a 15 -foot public pedestrian easement. Chairman King asked if it is Mr. Vairin's understanding that there would be any other type of treatment. Mr. Vairin stated that other than what the developer stated would occur, he had no fur #her information on what the treatment would be. Commissioner Rempel stated that he recalled from prior Design Review dis- cussions that the area being discussed would have to be turf blocked. Mr. Vairin stated that the discussion was that some type of material would have to be provided which would allow vehicles to cross the area. Commissione= Rempel stated that if this is to be a pedestrian easement then some type of whlk material rather than lawn material would have to be provided. Chairman King opened the public hearing. Planning Commission Minutes -4- July 14, 1982 Mr. John Goetten, 1900 H East Varner Avenue, Santa Ana, the civil engineer for this tract, stated that they proposed to put in some type of walk in. the cul -de -sac area that would be consistent with the rest of the project. Further that some small screening shrubs would also be added to help define this as a public easement area. Mr. Goetten also spoke of the police and fire requirements, the proposed 5 -6 foot wall and edge definition, and a water line would be in the easement. Commissioner Rempel stated that the walk arer. should rot be 10 feet wide of paved concrete but it also should not be planted totally with shrubs. He indicated that if emergency vehicles need to use the access at Beryl and turn at Pepper, it would be important that it not be blocked by shrubs. Mr. Vairin indicated that a condition could be added to the individual CC &R's for homes that are near the easement that they be required to be maintained by the homeowners and that the area would be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division. Commissioner Rempel stated that one other comment to add would be that some type of breakaway,Q-:te should also be placed here that would allow pedestrians to enter and nothing else. Commissioner Stout asked why a cul -de -sac was placed as shown on the property. Mr. Goetten replied that City staff suggested it be placed there because without it, traffic would be attracted to the area and it would then pose a safety problem. He indicated that they agreed with staff's assessment of what could happen and it was done as a traffic mitig,.tion measure. Commissioner Stout asked why one cul- de-sac was put on the property line and the other on the south lot lines. Mr. Goetten replied that it was done to break up the monotony of the street scene. Mrs. Barbara Huber, 7380 Lion. Street, property owner adjacent to this tract, expressed concern relative to the elevation of the proposed development, water runoff, and water easement. Mr. Goetten stated that the development proposed would improve the surround- ing properties throught the installation of a storm drain system. Mr. Walter Ross, 7474 Lion, property owner adjacent to the development, asked about the drainage of the hillside opposite the proposed development. He also inquired about the cedar shake roofs proposed and their fire hazard potential. ' Mr. Vairin explained the recently adopted ordinance relating to shake roofs and the standards for them. Planning Commission Minutes -5- July 14, 1482 Mr- Goetten replied to Mr. Ross' concern regarding drainage by statirg that it would be taken into Spinel Avenue by means of an AC gunnite ditch. He indicated further that all city standards regarding drainage would be met. !It. Ross asked how the drainage would be channeli r-! Mr. Vairin replied that Exhibit "E" shows the slopes explains how this will be done. Mr. Vairin also stated for the record and b�zefit of the audience, that the City has a gra.;irg committee which must approve a Preliminary grading plan. He indicated that if the grading plan does not meet the City's standards, it will be brought back before the Corms ssion. Mrs. FTuber asked if the developer must install a block wall. Mr. Vairin replied that this is not a requirement. Mr. George Cudera, 6363 Garnet, stated that the Coral Homes tract did not properly handle drainage and h2s resulted in erosion of an exisiting wall. He indicated that the soil condition in this area is such that water does not drain because of its clay composition. Mr. Cudera also questioned the propriety of shake roofs in this area in view of the high wind conditions and fire potential which sometimes occur. Mrs. Goldie Mancini, 7327 Beryl, asked what provis ions there will be for drainage of her property. She indicated that as a result of the Coral Homes tract her property and driveway are at times submerged Because of rain water. Mrs. Mancini indicated her feeling that traffic would be increased and that this project would result in school overcrowding. Mr- Vairin explained the school letter certification process required before a developer is allowed to proceed. Mr. Hopson indicated that the City requires the school districts to respond to the question of availability of space and this is all the City car. do. s Mrs. Mancini asked when a four -way stop or traffic signal would be pro- vided at Beryl and Base Line. Mr. Rougeau replied that this area has been studied with the result that a need for a traffic device has been identified. He indicated, however, that the City responds to need on a priority basis and this area is scheduled to be taken care of within the next two years. Mr. Vairin stated that the developer of this project will be required to pay into a fund for this purpose. Mr. Gudera askee about the drainage from Beryl and Spinel Avenue and how it Will be dispersed along Pepper Ct. Planning Commission Minutes July 14, 1982 Mr. Goetten replied that the proposed project would accommodate the necessary drainage. Mrs. Huber asked what diameter the drain pipe will be. Mr. Goetten replied that it will be a 24 -inch drain and should accommodate a 100 year storm. There being no further questions the public hearing was closed. Commissioner McNiel asked what the proposed grading is because of the 40- foot drop behind the existing homes and how it would affect the drainage. Further, if the gunnite ditch is the best way to handI.e the drainage. Mr. Rougeau replied that the proposal by the developer is the better way of handling the water inasmuch as if a pipe were to be installed, it could become plugged up and only add to the problem. He indicated that the people who are not familiar with what can be done through grading, it would appear that this is a -arge condition to correct, however, only a small amount of water is proposed to dram along the back of the lots and most wound drain into the new street. Co- =issioner McNiel asked if the drainage concept of this development has been accepted by the Development Re-riew Committee. Mr. Rougeau replied that the concept has been accepted and that this refers to the final. determination of the size of the various structures necessary to carry the drainage and spt -ifically refers to design details. Mr. Vairin explained the hydrology study necessary to assure that proper drainage requirements will be met. Mr. Rougeau explained the two degrees of study necessary to ascertain the proper calculations end what is necessary for drainage. Commissioner Stout stated that it appears that :several past design errors would be corrected by this tract as far as drainage is concerned. o- Mr. Rougeau replied that this is correct. Commissioner Rempel stated that one of Mrs. Mancini's ongoing problems was created by Coral Homes and that she could possibly alleviate the drainage condition by working out an agreement with the developer when the new tract goes in, that her curb and gutter improvements could be in- stalled along with the development of the tract. Motion: 'loved by Rempel, seconded by Stout, carried, to adopt Resolution No. 82 -69, with an additional condition that the pedestrian easement be other than lawn material, and incorporate in the CUR's that the pedestrian easement be maintained by the adjacent property owners.

Curt Johnston, Assistant Planner, reviewed the staff report. Commissioner Stout asked how many similar uses have be =_n approved recently by the Planning Commission. Vairin replied that there have been three of this Commissioner Stout asked if there have beer, any complaints against this type of use. Mr. Vairin replied that there have been none that the City is aware of. f Commissioner Rempel stated that this is a unique location as there is nothing around it. Commissioner Stout stated that it seems like the Commission is really approving a lot of these uses and asked if a standard policy is being developed for them. Mr. Vairin replied, definitely. Commissioner Barker stated it was his hope that not all if the children will go out at the same time because it will create some difficulty for the teachers. He indicated that a good comfortable playground area should be Provided. Planning Commission Minutes -8- July 14, 1982 Chairman King opened the public hearing. Mr. Martin Beechen, 10028 Bristal, the administrator of the church, aivised that he would answer any of the Commission's questions. He also emphasized that this kind of facility is needed in the community. Commissioner Rempel asked if Mr. Beechen had any difficulty with the conditions. Mr. Beechen replied that lect did not. There beirg no further questions, the public hearing was closed.

Paul Rougeau, Senior Civil Cngineer, reviewed the staff report. Commissioner Rempel asked if the City still has a condition as far as the driveway and a joint access agreement are concerned. Mr. Rougeau replied affirmatively. Commissioner Stout asked why the property is being divided at this time. Mr. Jeffrey J. Gordon, 2501 Alton Avenue, Irvine, California, project manager for the Messenger Company, concurred with all aspects of the conditions with the exception of the one limitation regarding develop- ment of the parcel. He indicated that this is why they are dividing it right now. Mrr,. Gordon further indicated that all street improvements would be completed. Commissioner Stout asked if they would be developing one at a time. Mr. Gordon replied that they would all be developed at the same time. There being no further comn mts, the public hearing was closed. Motion: Moved by Barker, seconded by Rempel, carried unanimously, to adopt Resolution No. 82 -71, approving Parcel *lap 7244 with all conditions. Planning Commission Minutes -9- July 14, 1982 I. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESS?LNT AND PARCEL MAP 7555 - R.C. INDUSTRIAL CO. - A division of 25.45 acres :nto 3 parcels within the M -2 cone located at the southwest corner of 8th Streor and Milliken Avenue - APN 229 - 261 -62 6 63. Paul Rougeau, Senior Civil Engineer, reviewed the staff report. Mr. Rougeau asked that the Planning Commission add another condition of approval to the Engineering Report that prior to recording of the map, a deposit will be posted with the City covering the estimated cost of the assessments under Assessment District No. 82 -01 from among 0-e newly created parcels. He indicated that a large assessment district is being proposed and if approved by the City r.m il, this condition will be added to all properties locating within the boundaries of the distr;.c. Chairman King stared that Center Street runs north and south and asked if parcel two is being divided from parcel three, how far north does it extend. N.r. Rougeau replied that it would go either to B or L Street, which is the east /west street at the top. Chairman King stated that this seems to be a peculiar parcel and asked what its dimensions are at the top. Mr. Rougeau stated that possibly lots 2 and 3 can be rearranged in the future and perhaps the developer's representative can explain why it was divided that way. Chairman King asked if the parcel map contained in the agenda packet is tte previous parcel and if the applicant has indicated why division is being sought. Chairman King opened the public hearing. Mr. Janes Westling, representing the R. C. Industrial Company, stated that he agrees that parcel two is irregular in shape. He indicated that the only reason it is this way is because they don't know what to do with it. Further, that they have proposals for smaller buildings and this could be divided. He indicated that part of the problem is the restriction of-the future Milliken. Avenue overpass and that when Parcel Map 7555 was designed it was to proi,ide for a 205,000 square foot building and this as well as the building to the south have been leased to a tenant. He indicated that this map is proposed to create that parcel as well as realign the street. He indicated that their master plan always included a B Street. Chairman King asked what the acreage is in parcel 2. Mr. Westling indicated that they had just finished a building that has been leased and only a portion of the parcel shows. Planning Commission Minutes -10- July 14, 11982 Mr. Westling asked about the condition for additional dedication for the Milliken overpass and the requirement for improvements to be con- structed at the time of installation of the overpass. He indicated that it was his understanding that the improvements for the overpass would be made by others thar. just his firm and asked if this is correct. Mr. Rougeau replied that they do not have specific plans formulated but this would be a major bridge structure. Uestling asked if once the land company wou�_' improve Milliken. Rougeau indicated, however, that Mr. Westling's statement is correct that the improvements would be shared by others who develop as well. indicated that he was couching his reply because approval is required the City Council for reimbursement. being no further comments, the public hearing was Motion: Moved by Rempi�l, seconded by Stout, carried unanimously, adopt Resolution No. 82 -72, approving Parcel Map 7555. Commissioner Rempel asked if these items within the Redevelopment Agency boundaries are to be sent on to the City Council for approval. Mr. Gomez replied that they are not any longer required to be sent_ on. He indicated that the Council stated they do not wish to have these items brought before them aty longer. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND PARCEL MAP 7326 - KOBACKER STORES, -INC. A subdivision of 12.54 acres of'land into 2 parc--'s in the General Industrial zone located on the sonntheast corner of Baker Avenue and Feron Boulevard - APN 207 - 271 -31. Senior Civil Engineer, Paul Rougeau, reviewed the staff report. He stated that with this map they are requiring only dedication of Feror. Boulevard at this time because it will not yet provide the direct connectio. to Baker Avenue. Another easement will be required for proper drainaf,e of the area r_hat will go under the railroad tracks and into Cucamonga Creek but will not be required until the street is dedicated. Chairman King asked relative to the offer of dedication, if the City knows at th=s point in time what is intended in the future for use as a roadwa- He asked further, that if we take the southern alternative if that would necessitate anoLher'parcei. Mr. Rougeau replied that if the property to the north develops in right time frame it would wean alternative No. one might be best. Planning Commission Minutes Chairman Ki:g opened the public hearing. Mr. J. Richard Newton, the surveyor, stated that he would answer any questions. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Motion: 11osed by Stout, seconded by McNiel, carried unanimously, to adopt Resolution No. 82 -73, approving Parcel Map 7326. Mr. Rick Gomez, City Planner, advised the Commission that the City was unsuccessful in its attempt to procure within its sphere the land north of the City limits to the City of Fontana at the LAFCO meeting which was held this date. Commissioner Rempel asked that the Commission take action to approve the entry across from Chaffey College on Eaven for the Lesny Tract. Commissioner Stout replied that he thought that a condition had been placed on the tract approval that this come back to the Commission after some discussion had taken place between the developer. and Chaffey College. Mr. Gomez stated that this would be brought back to the Commission at their next meeting.

The Tentative Tract is located generally northwest of the intersection of Almond and Sapphire -'APN 200 - 061 -12. BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract Map 1021d has been approved by the Plan- ning Commission and City Council, as welt as a change of zone to R -1 -1 (minimum I acre lots). The tract consists of 33 lots on 40 acres of land. The site contains several development constraints such as a fault line, a large power and light easement, and some significant grade dif- ferences. Originally, the Applicant thought there was enough area to accommodate the minimum 43,560 square foot lots. However, in prepara- tion of the final map, it was found that Lots 18 -30 were less than the required square fcotage. hone of the lots are less than 41,000 square feet. ANALYSIS- State law, as well as the City Zoning Ordinance, gives the Planning Commission the authority to approve a variance in situations where strict or literal interpretation of a specified regulation will result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. Several development con:,traints,such as the utility easement and topo- graphy, have Iimited the gross density tc 1.2 dwelling units per acre. These constraints, in addition to the other necessary findings, demon- strate support for a variance. Another necessary finding to approve a variance is whether that variance would remain consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan designates this area as Hillside Residential, not to exceed two (2) units per acre. Therefore, to allow the development of 33 lots would remain consistent with the General Plan density requirements. One other finding for granting a variance, is whether the approval would constitute a grant of a special privilege. ITEM A Variance 82 -Ol /Forecast Corporation Planning Commission Agenda July 28, 1382 Page 2 Since the density is well under the maximum allowed, and the Tentative Tract was approved for 33 lots, there is no granting of a special privi- lege or right that could not be enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity. RECOVMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing ;,o consider all public input in regard to this project. If the Commission can made the necessary findings to justify the request for variance, then adoption of the attached Resolution would be appropriate. 1 I CK tOMEZ ity planner :MV:jr Attachments: Exhibit "A" Exhibit "B" Resolution - Tentative Tract Map - Letter from Applicant's Engineer El � J 11 0 0 11 C ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES 11 June 30, 1952 City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission P. ^v.

Justification for a variance is as follows: 1. The strict interpretation of a one acre net lot size would create a loss of lots, resulting in an unnecessary hardship. 2. The presence of a relatively steep bluff and a fault location determine rear lot line locations, creating an extraordhiary circumstance that do not generally apply to other properties in the inmediate area and zone. 3. The strict interpretation of a one acre net size would deprive the applicant of a lot yield which could be enjoyed by other owners of property in the area. The overall 33 lots of Tract 10210 on 40t acres maintain an average density of 1.2 acres per lot. 4. The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special priveledge as the overall yield k_:ld be consistent with zoning of 1 dwelling unit per acre. LJ 225 E Airport Dr. • P.O. Box 6097.

PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 11 Resolution No. Page 2 BY: isJeffrey King, Chairman ATTEST: Secretary of the Planning Commission I, JACK LAM, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 28th day of July, 1982, by the following vote -to- wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: 1* I] 11 11 L 11 11 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: July 28, 1982 TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Rick Gomez, City Planner BY: Michael Vairin, Senior Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 82 -13 - FAMILY GAME ARCADE - The estab :shment of an arcade in the C -, zone to be located at 8788 Base Line, in the Alta Loma Country Village Shop- ping Center, located on the northeast corner of Base Line and Carnelian. BACKGROUND: The City Council, upon recommendation by the Planning Com- mission, adopted an Ordinance setting forth provisions for the regulation of amusement devices and arcades. Under this Ordinance, all businesses wishing to establish an arcade which contains four (4) or more amusement devices would require a Conditional Use Permit. This request is the first to be considered since the adoption of the Ordinance. Attached as Exhibit "D" is a description of the proposed arcade operation as prepared by the Applicant. The Applicant intends to start with thirty (30) machines and ultimately expand to fifty (50) machines. The business is proposed to be located in the northeast quadrant of the Stater Brothers Shopping Center, contiguous to the Alta Loma High School parking lot. The site is zoned C -1 (Neighborhood Com- mercial) and-is fully developed with reighborhoed center uses. Under the provisions of the new Ordinance, the Planning Commission is required to review the application considering certain aspects such as the need for adult supervision, hours of operation, proximity of the use to schools and ether community uses, compatibility with surrounding neighborhood and businesses, noise attenuation, bicycle facilities, and interior waiting areas as well as other elements the Planning Com- mission may deem appropriate. ANALYSIS: Over the last month, since the advertisement of this request, we have received numerous letters and telephone tails regarding this proposal. All written comments are attached to this report. All com- ments to date have been concerned that this use will cause significant problems for businesses within the center. In addition, concern has been voiced over the proximity of the use to the high school and the potential for nuisance and crime activity associated with the users ITEM B Conditional Use Permit 82 -13 /Family Game Arcade Planning Commission Agenda Is July 28, 1382 Page 2 of this arcade. Attached is a detailed memorandum from Captain Thomas kickurn cf the Sheriff's office, outlining the problen; areas with the location of this particular request. The other written correspondence that we have received indicates similar concerns. In verbal discussions with some of the business concerns within the shopping center, it has been pointed out that there have been previous problems with uses in the center which have several amusement devices. In consideration of the criteria which is listed in the Ordinance, staff has found that the close proximity to the school will cause significant problems even though the Applicant is willing to maintain operating hours during non - school hours. This is due mainly to the fact that extra school activities oc:ur beyond normal school 'hours. The proposed location is immediately adjacent to the parking lot of the high school and is separated only by a block wall. In addition, the building in which the use is pro - oosed to be located is surrounded by an alley and parking area which facil- itate a highly desirable area for loitering and general nuisances. In addition to the proximity of she high school, compatibility with sur- rounding businesses has been a significant point of contention for the shopping center tenants. Over the last several years, the shopping center has found that it has been difficult to attract business clientele because of nuisances associated with loitering. The businesses w-;thin the shopping center all feel that the addition of the arcade would in- crease the existing problem. According to the Applicant's description of the operation, they are proposing restricted hours of operation, adult supervision, and rules and regulations. Although many of these measures are helpful in miti- gating some of these concerns, these measures will not be enough to avoid the kinds of problems that are illustrated in the attached memo and letters. The location of the proposed use to easily accessible alleys and narking areas is an attractive area for loitering. No matter what kinds or rules and regulations the arcade may be instituting on the inside of the business, enforcement on the outside and the ability to survey the area makes it very difficult. Many of these issues are covered in detail through Captain kickum's memorandum. FAITS FOR FINDINGS: The major finding the Commission is required to make prior to granting any Conditional Use Permit is that the proposed use, together with the Conditions of Approval would not be detrimental to the public health, ssf,!ty, or welfare or materially injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. In addition to this finding, the Commission is required to consider the criteria of the Zoning Ordi- nance in regard to arcades. Based upon the input and material that has been received thus far, it appears that this use would cause a public Conditional Use Permit 82- 13jEamily Game Arcade Planning Commission Agenda July 28, 1982 Page 3 health and safety nuisance and could be materially injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. It appears that this use would not be compatible with existing development and would potentially constitute an intensification of an already existing problem. CORRESPONDENCE: This project has been advertised as a public hearing and all tenants within the shopping center, as well as property owners within 300 feet have been notified of such hearing. Several written communications have been received and are included in this Staff Report. In addition, verbal communications have been received from many of the business tenants within the center which object to this proposed use. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the proposed location of the use and its compatibility with surrounding uses along with the information pro- vided by the Sheriff's Department as well as other public comments, it is recommended that the Planning Commission deny the request for a Conditional Use Permit at this location based upon the findings con- tained within the attached Resolution.

S INTER- OFFICE MEMO DATE July 5, 1982 FROM Thomas Wickum, Captain PHONE Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff's Station TO Michael Vai rin , Senior Planner City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBJECT Proposed "Family Game Arcade" th;"Fam tc your request we have reviewed the "Family Game Arcade" proposed for the center located at the northeast corner of SAN 0[(t NA43?IN(, the application for C -1 Zone shopping Baseline and Carnelian. After reviewing the application and consider'.ng the proximity of the amusement center to the apartment complex and the high school, it is apparent that an amusement center /arcade at this location would be detrimental and not compatible with the ad- jacent residential complex and the neighboring high school. Consequently, we recommend that this application not be approved. Summary of Investigation: The proposed building for the arcade is bordered on three sides by alleyways. Adjacent to the alley on the north (rear of building) is an apartment complex and private parking area for the residents of the apartment complex. The alleyway on the east side of the building is adjacent to the parking lot of the Alta Loma high School. There is a cement block wall divid- ing the shopping center and alleyways from the above mentioned locations. Traffic Problems: The proposed "arcade building being bordered on three sides by alleyways would create a traffic problem such as vehicle cruising, speeding and reckless driving (traditional of youth) within the alley and adjacent parking lot areas. This type of traffi: flow could also add to the noise levels affecting the apartment complex and the high school. There is a distinct possibility of the Alta Loma High School parking lot becoming a congregating area for young people drawn to that location by the arcade. These young people will not only be residents of Rancho Cucamonga, but will also be from out- lying cities, creating the possibility of vandalism to the school and surrounding areas, especially by students from rival high schools. Potential Problems: Since the majority of the people who patronize arcades and amuse- ment centers are juveniles and 22- 1367 -000 -Rw. 3177 young adults, traditional problems A! --w ,!

There no doubt will be cigarette vending machines toc, since most arcades feature *_hem. Minors have an easy enol:gh time getting cigarettes as it is. This .could also be undesirable. The foot traffic east to the high school past "hat location must be heavy, judging by the numbe.° of residential 'sections in that area. :r'o, commissioners, 1 feel that the address mentioned is altogether too close to the school for a major arcade.
