NF/ns Attachments CC: Planning Commission/City Council Dan Coleman/Planning Division Joe Stofa, Paul Rougeau, Barrye Hanson Bob Akridge CITY OF RANCH0 CUCAMONGA MEMORANDUM 1977 DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: April 11, 1985 To File Nancy Fong SUMMARY OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 85-07 A neighborhood meeting was conducted by the Developer on April 10, 1985, at the Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center. The purpose of this meeting is for the developer to present their proposed project to the residents as well as receiving input in addressing those concerns raised by the residents. Approximately 250 notices were mailed out by the developer to the property owners within 800 feet radius of the project site. Twenty-five residents attended this meeting. The following is the summary of the meeting: The developer described their proposed project which consisted of eighty-eight apartment units with a net density of 14 dwelling units per acre. The amenities proposed include recreation facilities such as swimming pool, tot lot, and greenbelts; on site parking - two spaces for each unit, and one space per four units for guest parking; covered garages; and providing washer/dryer and microwave for each unit. The unit size ranges from six-hundred-fifty square feet, to nine- hundred- fifty square feet, with sixteen units in the one bedroom, one bath, thirty-two units in the two bedroom, I bath and forty units in the two bedroom, two bath. Proposed rental rates ranges from $580. to $675. per month. The developer in designing of this project tried to address and mitigate land use conflict through providing a building setback of forty-five feet where single-family homes are across the street; providing a building setback of minimum seventy-feet to the west where mobile homes are located; and providing adequate on-site parking facilities for each unit and guest parking so as not to burden the public street. The developer stated that this project is designed under condominium standards, so as to leave room in the future for conversion where the market allows. The developer stressed that they are owner developer and that there will be a good property management to maintain this project. Summary of Neig Meeting Development Review 85-07 Page #2 The concerns of the residents were as follows: Density - The residents felt that the proposed project is too dense to be across from single-family homes. The increase in dwelling units will impact the school by contributing to the over crowding of students. Traffic - The residents felt that at present, they have a traffic problem with speeding cars, foot traffic from children and numerous accidents. The result of this proposed project will add and contribute to the existing traffic problems. Residents would like the developer to explore the possibility of having access from Foothill Boulevard through 2nd Avenue, instead of San Bernardino Road. Crime The residents raised concerns regarding the increase in crime rate as numerous studies have demonstrated such increase. Property Values - The residents were concerned that being adjacent to apartments would lower their property values. The residents would like the developer to compromise by developing this project as condominiums. The reason being that there is no guarantee of any future property owner to maintain the apartment project, while the Homeowners Association for a condominium project are required to maintain the property. NF:cv John DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 6:45 - 7:15 May 2, 1985 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 85-08 VERNACI A proposal to locate a single trailer for a caretaker's facility at a wholesale nursery located in the Edison utility corridor on the north side of Base Line, east of Rochester - APN 227-091-41. Design Parameters The project is located in a utility corridor. The Development Code mandates a conditional use permit review for the use of temporary caretaker's quarters. No other accessory structures are permitted, with the exception of greenhouses. The project site is vacant and slopes slightly to the south at just under a 2% grade. Staff Conmnents Site Plan. 1. The placement of the trailer may be relocated westerly behind the "tree area" to provide better screening. 2. The storage shed is not permitted and must be removed. Parking/Circulation. Based on the county regulation for similar uses of I parking space for every 2,000 gross area up to 10,000 sq. ft. and 1 space for every 5,000 thereafter. Fifteen parking spaces are required, currently ten are provided. The general circulation of the site is adequate. Architecture. The appearance of the trailer model with a wood panel facade (see picture). metal variety (see picture). is a newly constructed The shed is the standard Landscaping. Street trees will be provided along with necessary on-site planting to provide screening. Design Review Co~nittee Action: Members Present: Staff Planner: John Meyer Curt DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:15 - 7:45 May 2, 1985 DESIGN REVIEW FOR TRACT 10047 - PENNHILL COMPANY - The development of 43 single family detached homes on 27.16 acres of land located on the north side of Wilson Avenue, south side of Hillside Road, east of Archibald. Design Parameters The tract map for this project has been recorded. Three floor plans are proposed ranging in size from a one-story 1,808 sq. ft. unit up to a two-story 2 19 ft. unit. Each house has a three car garage and the · 0 sq. roof material will be concrete shake tile. Surrounding the site are several houses located on Hillside Road, and on Crooked Creek Road across the drainage channel to the west; however no consistent design theme prevails. Staff Comnents 1. Additional architectural treatment is necessary on the corner side elevations and the rear of elevations 130BR and 130C on lots 41 and 43 which back on to Wilson Avenue. 2. The individual elevations are attractive; however, the basic design element of the two-story units is repetitive. The Committee may want to discuss with the applicant the possibility of adding an additional floor plan or providing greater variety in the roof structures. Design Review Cmmaittee Action Members Present: Staff Planner: Curt Johnston Nancy DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:45 - 8:15 May 2, 1985 DESIGN REVIEW FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 83-09 BRETHREN IN CHRIST CHURCH - A request to change the approved elevation for a 2,800 sq. ft. education facility within an approved Master Planned church complex on 6.8 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (4-8 du/ac), located at 9974 19th Street, east of Ramona Avenue - APN 202-171-31, 35. Oesign Parameters A conceptual Master Plan for a church complex had been approved by the Planning Commission in 1979. This proposed 2,800 sq. ft. classroom building was approved by the Planning Commission on September 14, 1983, and is designed to function as a private elementary school for 100 students from kindergarten through third grade. The applicant is requesting to modify the approved elevation for such classroom building. Staff Coeents Elevation. The previously approved elevation for the classroom building has variations in roof pitch, height, and angle, and the roof materials are of concrete tile which is compatible with the architectural style of the multi-purpose building. The proposed new elevation has low profile roof and single-family residential character which is not compatible to the dramatic architectural statement of the multi-purpose building. Therefore, it is recommended that the original concept be maintained as much as possible. Oesign Review Co~maittee Action Members Present: Staff Planner: Nancy Fong QI BREll.

Design Par~ters. This project represents Phase II of the Caryn Planned Community presently annexed to the City. The basic loop street pattern and lot sizes were conceptually approved with the Planned Community application· Average lot sizes required north of the central east/west road is 7,100 square feet, and 5,000 square feet to the south. Typical lot widths on the larger lots are 55 feet to 60 feet and 45 feet for the smaller lots. Design review of the houses will occur following Tentative Map approval· Staff Coaments Currently 2:1 slopes up to 12 feet in height are proposed across the north/south open space corridor. Grading methods to reduce slopes across the trail should be discussed. 2. Contour grading should be indicated for the 24 foot high slope facing Rochester Avenue (southeast corner of the project).
