Project Description: , CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT\DESIGN REVIEW
DRC2009-00586 - RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT - For a single-story
6,000 square foot fire station on approximately 1.1-acre of land, located on the west side of
Hellman Avenue at the intersection of Rancho Street. - APN: 1061-621-03.
Design Parameters: The Fire Station 177 project consists of developing an approximate 6,000 square
foot fire station on 1.1-acre site fronting Hellman Avenue within an existing flood control basin. The
1.1-acre project site is part of a previously abandoned 7-acre flood control basin. The 7-acre flood
control basin was recently filled with approximately 116,000 cubic yards of soil by the San Bernardino
County Flood Control District to bring the flood control basin to a developable grade.
The 6,000-square foot fire station would include an apparatus area (consisting of two vehicle bays, a
turn-out locker room, a decontamination room, hose storage, as well as additional area for general
storage), an administration area (consisting of a reception/lobby area, office space, a public restroom, a
training room, ambulance private entry, break room with restroom, and storage), and a living area
(consisting of a day room, a kitchen, a dining area, dorm rooms, restroom/showering facilities, an
exercise room, laundry facilities, and storage). The station design includes drive-through capability for
emergency apparatus, with driveways on Rancho Street. Rancho Street would be extended along the
southern boundary of the project site. Additionally, the fire station would be equipped with an above
ground storage tank for fuel and an emergency generator. Staff parking would be provided on the
western portion of the site, behind the station. Parking spaces for the public would be provided on the
southwest portion of the site.
The architectural style is contemporary residential scale, Ranch design, blended visually into the
residential neighborhood. Architectural features include a single-story design with an attached garage
with roll up doors and glazing to provide visual interest and to provide natural lighting to the apparatus
work spaces. Neighborhood residential style materials include a concrete tile roof, stacked stone
accents, and stucco exterior walls.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: None. The design successfully provides for the operational needs of the critical safety
facility while designed to blend with the residential neighborhood.
Secondary Issues: None. The site plan, building orientation, landscaping, and grading provide for a low
impact to the surrounding area.
Policy Issues: None. All policy areas have been addressed through the design and the recommended
conditions of approval.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval as presented.
Design Review Committee Action
The Committee recommended approval to the Planning Commission as presented.
Members Present: Stewart, Munoz, Nicholson

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:20 p.m. Mike Smith August 18, 2009
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2009-00303 — DR. BRIEN HSU D.D.S - A proposal to construct a
dental/retail building of approximately 5,100 square feet on a parcel of approximately 32,369 square feet
(0.73 acre) in an existing shopping center in the Village Commercial (VC) District, Victoria Planned
Community (VCP), located at the northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Woodruff Place -
APN: 1089-131-01.
Design Parameters: The project site is a parcel of approximately 32,000 square feet (0.73 acre) that is
approximately 180 feet (southeast to northwest) by approximately 186 feet (northeast to southwest). The
site is the last remaining undeveloped parcel within the Vineyards Marketplace, a commercial center of
approximately 12.7 acres, located at the northwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Kenyon Way,
immediately south of the Foothill Freeway (SR-210). The center is bound on the west, south, and east
by a single-family residential development. The zoning of the commercial center is Village Commercial
(VC) District, Victoria Community Plan (VCP). The properties to the east, west, and south are zoned
Low-Medium (LM) District, VCP. The subject property was previously rough graded when the overall
commercial center was built. Therefore, it is generally level with an elevation at the north and south
sides of approximately 1,486 feet and 1,484 feet, respectively.
The applicant proposes to construct a multi-tenant building with a floor area of approximately
5,400 square feet. The building will be divided into three tenant spaces. The primary tenant will be the
applicant who will relocate his dental office to this building from his current location within the same
shopping center. The other tenants are unspecified at this time but will most likely be retail. The building
will have a loft of 492 square feet above the dental office for the exclusive use by the applicant. The
primary entrance into each tenant space will face the interior of the site towards the parking lot,
consistent with the other buildings on the site. Most parking lot improvements, including parking stalls
and drive aisles, are already in place. Eight stalls will be constructed. Access to the site will be via one
of several existing driveways that serve the entire commercial center — the nearest driveways to the
project site are at Woodruff Place and Kenyon Way. For commercial centers of this size (approximately
111,700 square feet), the Development Code calculates the required parking at 4.5 parking stalls per
1,000 square feet of gross floor area of the entire shopping center. The number of parking stalls required
is 502; there will be 515 parking stalls after the completion of this project. New landscaping will be
limited as most of the required landscaping was installed at the time the commercial center was
completed. However, the applicant will install several new trees near the building as required by the
Development Code.
The proposed building will be wood-frame construction with plaster finish. Architecturally, the building
will match the other buildings within the center and include similar features such as a colonnade at the
front of the building, several tower elements, and a wainscot with decorative tiles. There will also be
generous amounts of storefront glass on all elevations and spandrel glass on the tower elements to
match the surrounding buildings. Details such as the design of the arches and vertical elements that are
used on all elevations of the building and their corresponding trim and finishes will match those used
throughout the center. The maximum height of the building will be 40 feet at the southwest tower.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
1. None.

Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. None.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. All access doors shall be painted to match the adjacent wall.
2. Provide a bike rack, adequate for a minimum of three bikes, near the southwest corner of the
building.
3. As the applicant has indicated that the existing Southern California Edison (SCE) transformer,
Double-Detector Check (DDC), and Fire Department Connection (FDC) will be used for this
building, no additional screening requirements apply. However, if any new equipment is proposed,
their location and applicable screening shall be subject to the review and approval by the Planning
Director.
4. The trash enclosures shall be constructed per the City's design standard for commercial projects.
This enclosure shall incorporate some of the design elements present in the buildings (such as
color and material).
5. Landscape planters along the sides of parking stalls shall contain a minimum of 90 square feet, and
the smallest outside dimension shall not be less than 6 feet, including a 6-inch concrete curb. A
6-inch paver is required when adjacent to the side of parking stalls.
6. Where applicable, all walls (including retaining walls) shall be constructed of decorative block such
as split-face or slumpstone or decoratively finished with stucco, stack/ledgestone, or real river rock.
7. All light fixtures/poles in the parking lot shall not exceed 15 feet in height, as measured from the
finished surface to the top of the lamp head.
8. All roof-mounted equipment shall be completely screened from view by the parapet on all
elevations.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved and forwarded to the Planning
Director for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
The Design Review Committee accepted the application as proposed, including staff's
recommendations. The most significant issue was the retaining walls along the south and east sides of
the building. The walls are not shown on the cross-sections but are shown on the Grading Plan. Staff
requested that the applicant provide, prior to review and action by the Planning Director, detail sections
showing these walls relative to the building and the finished grade for verification that the finished
pad/floor elevations of the building matched that shown on the Grading Plan. Also, they indicated these
walls shall have a decorative finish. The applicant indicated that they will incorporate all of the
recommendations into the project and submit the required cross-sections.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:40 p.m. Mike Smith August 18, 2009
UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM DRC2009-00566 - DR. BRIEN HSU D.D.S - A Uniform Sign Program for a
proposed dental/retail building of approximately 5,100 square feet on a parcel of approximately 32,369 square
feet (0.73 acre) in an existing shopping center in the Village Commercial (VC) District, Victoria Planned
Community (VCP), located at the northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Woodruff Place - APN: 1089-131-01.
Related file: Development Review DRC2009-00303.
Design Parameters:
The project site is a parcel of approximately 32,000 square feet (0.73-acre) that is approximately 180 feet
(southeast to northwest) by approximately 186 feet (northeast to southwest). The site is the last remaining
undeveloped parcel within the Vineyards Marketplace, a commercial center of approximately 12.7 acres
located at the northwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Kenyon Way immediately south of the Foothill
Freeway (SR-210). The center is bound on the west, south, and east by a single-family residential
development.
The proposed sign program complies with the standards and guidelines set forth in the Sign Ordinance,
including the maximum number of signs per tenant and sign construction/materials. The program proposes
signs at locations on the building to match the other buildings in the commercial center (except the east
elevation — to be discussed below and in Major Issues). There are potential locations for signs on all
elevations of the building, and it is assumed that there will be three tenants. Typically, this would result in up
to two (2) signs per in-line tenant and up to three (3) signs per end tenant for a potential installation of eight
(8) signs. The City's policy generally allows signs on any of the elevations that are adjacent to the tenant
space provided that the overall maximum is not exceeded. However, because of the arrangement of the
tenant spaces of this building, the secondary tenants will not have rear elevation "adjacency." Therefore, only
the major tenant is proposed to have a sign on the east elevation. Each tenant is proposed to have a sign on
the west elevation and an additional sign is proposed for the northernmost tenant. Therefore, there are only
five (5) signs proposed altogether. No monument sign is proposed.
The applicant has elected to require channel letters with acrylic faces and metal trimcaps and returns for all
sign text and logos. This is consistent with the other signs in the commercial center. The applicant proposes
leaving the font style to the discretion of the tenant, subject to landlord and City approval. The applicant has
elected to limit the choice of colors to blue or red, unless the tenant has a trademark logo and/or typestyle.
The text and logo of the wall sign for the major tenant will have a maximum height of 36 inches and 48 inches
for single-line and double-line signs, respectively. The text and logo of the wall signs for the secondary
tenants will have a maximum height of 24 inches and 36 inches for single-line and double-line signs,
respectively. With the exception of the overall height of each sign (as discussed below), the signs will not
negatively impact significant architectural features, elements, or details.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
1. The existing Uniform Sign Program (USP #104) that governs the rest of the commercial center does not
permit signs on the east elevations of any building. The reason for this restriction is not certain, as it is
not explained, and was verified by staff during an inspection. However, staff believes that in order to be
consistent with the existing conditions, signs on the east elevation of the proposed building should not
be permitted.

2. Major tenant - The proposed overall height of the single-line sign shall be reduced to 24 inches (from
the proposed 36 inches), and the proposed overall height of the double-line signs shall be reduced to 36
inches (from the proposed 48 inches) with at least 6 inches between each line. The proposed overall
height is too large for a tenant/building of this size and is not consistent with other major tenants in the
commercial center.
3. Secondary tenant - The proposed overall height of the single-line sign shall be reduced to 18 inches
(from the proposed 24 inches), and the proposed overall height of the double-line signs shall be
reduced to 24 inches (from the proposed 36 inches) with at least 6 inches between each line. The
proposed overall height is too large for a tenant/building of this size and will "crowd" the area between
the top of the arches and the bottom of the roof cornice. It is also not consistent with the height of the
signs allowed for the other in-line tenants within the center or at other locations in the City.
4. The Committee may want to discuss restrictions regarding font types. The applicant has indicated that
they prefer to leave types open to the tenant. Staff has observed different fonts used within the center.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. As the applicant has an existing office within the commercial center, he has a sign on each of the
existing monument signs at Milliken Avenue and Kenyon Way. In order to have two signs on the
building and comply with the Sign Ordinance which limits each tenant to three (3) signs, he must
remove one of these signs on the monuments.
2. The maximum area of each sign shall not exceed 10 percent of the building face (or 10 percent of the
face of the tenant's lease space) on which the sign is proposed.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated
into the project design without discussion.
The applicant is advised that any revisions to this sign program will require an amendment to this Uniform
Sign Program for review and approval by the Planning Director and/or the Design Review Committee.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved and forwarded to the Planning
Director for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
The Design Review Committee accepted the application as proposed, including staff's recommendations.
The most significant issue was the maximum allowable vertical dimension of each sign area for each type of
tenant. The Committee agreed that the maximum allowable vertical dimensions shall be reduced as
recommended and for consistency with the maximum vertical dimensions of the other signs within the rest of
the shopping complex. Also, although the allowable fonts were left open to the applicant, the Committee
wanted the applicant to limit the number of allowable fonts to three (3) specific types. The Committee
accepted the use of red and blue colors only as proposed by the applicant. The Committee agreed with
staff's recommendation to eliminate the sign on the east elevation of the building. The applicant indicated that
they will incorporate all of the recommendations and complete the corrections as described.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00402 - FRANK AN - Design
Review of a proposed retail commercial center consisting of 3 buildings totaling 51,940 square feet on 4.67 acres of
land within the Community Commercial District (Subarea 4) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located along
the east side of Etiwanda Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard - APN: 0227-221-08. Related File: SUBTPM18535.
Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18535 - FRANK AN - A request to
subdivide 4.67 acres of land into 3 parcels for commercial purposes in the Community Commercial District
(Subarea 4) within the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located along the east side of Etiwanda Avenue north of
Foothill Boulevard - APN: 0227-221-08. Related File: Development Review DRC2007-00402. Staff has prepared
a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct a multi-tenant commercial retail building
north of Foothill Boulevard along Etiwanda Avenue. The proposal is to construct a total of three multi-
tenant retail buildings consisting of a total of 51,940 square feet on a rectangular-shaped parcel. Two of
the buildings are single-story, with the third and larger building along the north side of the property being
a two-story mixed-use office and retail building.
The proposal is consistent with the architectural imagery requirements of the Foothill Boulevard Specific
Plan and has a Mediterranean-inspired architecture with low pitched roofs, stucco walls, fieldstone
veneer, and exposed rafter tails. The proposed buildings are consistent with the architecture of the
surrounding development. The large tower elements and decorative fieldstone veneers break up long
facades, along with decorative wood trellises and awnings. A covered colonnade is proposed along the
second floor of the mixed-use office and retail building providing shade for tenants and customers.
The two single-story buildings have an overall height of 36 feet measured to the top of the tower
elements, with the remainder of the buildings measuring 26 feet to the top of the parapets. The two-story
mixed-use office and retail building has an overall height of 45 feet measured to the top of the tower
elements, with the remainder of the building measuring 35 feet to the top of the parapet. Setbacks from •
Etiwanda Avenue are required at 35 feet from ultimate curb face which is consistent with the applicant's
proposal. A 20-foot buffer was provided along the northern property line to allow landscaping to screen
the proposed development from the existing residences to the north.
The development is proposing access to the existing International Restaurant Village (DRC2004-01128)
along the eastern property line. Two reciprocal access easements will be established with the
recordation of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map permitting vehicular access across both properties. A
third reciprocal access easement is proposed along the south side of the property to permit access from
future development to the south.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this •
project:
1. Recommend that the applicant provide a meandering sidewalk along Etiwanda Avenue consistent
with the adjacent development. Revise the Conceptual Grading Plan and Sections C-C and D-D
consistent with this recommendation.

Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. All trash enclosures should be centered in the landscape islands to allow for vine plantings or
landscape screening.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. All groundmounted equipment and utility boxes including transformers, fire department
connections, back-flow devices, etc. shall be surrounded by a minimum of two rows of shrubs
spaced at a minimum of 18 inches on-center. This equipment shall be painted forest green.
2. Decorative paving shall be provided at the Etiwanda Avenue access point to the site.
3. Provide durable street furniture in the outdoor seating areas such as tables, chairs, and waste
receptacles.
4. A Uniform Sign Program shall be submitted following Planning Commission action for review and
approval prior to plan check submittal.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved, subject to the revisions above
which can be verified by staff, and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
The Design Review Committee approved the project and forwarded to the Planning Commission for
review and action subject to the following revisions:
1. The 5-foot sidewalk should be located in a sidewalk easement at the back of the right-of-way
(except along turn pockets where it may be curb adjacent) and should not be meandering per
consistency with the surrounding development. The Site Plan, Parcel Map, Grading Plan, and
Sections must be revised to incorporate this revision.
2. Sixty feet north of the southern property boundary, the 10-foot southbound turn lane should
transition from 42 feet to 47 feet. The Site Plan, Parcel Map, Grading Plan, and Sections must be
revised to incorporate this revision.
The Design Review Committee requested that staff verify that the requested revisions have been
incorporated prior to the Planning Commission hearing.
