Related files: Design Review DRC2013-00565 and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19450. Site Characteristics: The project area is located on a 13.23-acre vacant undeveloped parcel located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street. The site is abutting existing industrial development to the north, east, and west and is located to the north, across 7th Street, from an existing multi-tenant industrial complex. The site currently does not contain any trees, and similar to adjacent properties in this area, does contain a gradual slope from north to south. Design Parameters: The applicant proposes to subdivide the 13.23-acre parcel into three parcels, creating a 2.13-acre parcel (Parcel 1), a 4.82-acre parcel (Parcel 2) and a 5.89-acre parcel (Parcel 3). Parcel 1, which is adjacent to Archibald Avenue and 7th Street is approximately 530 feet wide by 175 feet long. Parcel 2, which is south of and abutting Acacia Street and Cottage Avenue, is approximately 450 feet wide by 615 feet long. Parcel 3, which is adjacent to the existing rail spur along the eastern perimeter of the site, is approximately 400 feet wide by 615 feet long. In addition to the two-lot subdivision of the subject property, the applicant also proposes to develop a 6-building industrial complex totaling 173,340 square feet of building area. Building 1 (15,775 square feet) and Building 2 (13,415 square feet), which are located on Parcel 1, are designed to cater towards businesses looking to occupy buildings that contain a large portion of office with minimal storage area. Building 3 (19,950 square feet), Building 4 (20,500 square feet) and Building 5 (20,391 square feet), which are located on Parcel 2, are designed to cater towards businesses looking to occupy buildings that contain a primarily open warehouse and storage area with up to 40 percent office area. Building 6 (81,910 square feet), which is located on Parcel 3, is designed with the intent to accommodate one large industrial user, as 76,775 square feet of this building is comprised of a single, open, warehouse, and distribution area. The remaining 5,135 square feet of the building will be used for office area. Lastly, the building will contain multiple shipping and receiving truck bays that will provide vehicular access into the building. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AGENDA SUBTPM19450, DRC2013-00565, AND DRC2014-00250 May 20, 2014 Page 2 The buildings will be comprised of concrete tilt-up walls, portions of which will incorporate decorative sandblasted wall planes as well as vertical and horizontal 2 inch wide reveals that span the length of all elevations. The building will also include clear anodized aluminum mullions that surround the storefront glass windows and doors, all of which are recessed into the front building elevation. Each building, with the exception of Buildings 1 and 2, will have metal roll-up doors that will provide access into the warehouse area of each unit. • The applicant has requested to construct this project in two phases. Phase one will involve the installation of all improvements shown within Parcel 3, the landscape strip adjacent to the 7th Street frontage, and the landscape strip, drive aisle, and drive approach adjacent to the northern property line of the site. Phase two will involve the construction of all remaining improvements, including Buildings 1 through 5, as well as the remaining parking and landscaped areas. The development when completed, will contain a total of 452 provided parking spaces, 27 percent overall landscape coverage, decorative paving at each drive entrance, and three employee break areas all of which meet the requirements and intent of the Development Code. Additionally, staff notes that the initial submittal of the proposed development did not incorporate rail service improvements that are required by the Development Code for rail adjacent properties. The applicant has since incorporated staff's comments and feedback into the development package, which now includes an optional future rail spur that will tie into the existing rail spur adjacent to the eastern property line should a future tenant at this location have a need for rail service. Lastly, the applicant is requesting to establish a Uniform Sign Program (USP) for this development. The proposed USP contains provisions that regulate permanent building signage for each individual tenant as well as permanent monument signage for property identification. The USP allows for a maximum of one non-illuminated sign for each tenant occupying Building 1 through 5, with the exception of the tenant occupying the space closest to Archibald Avenue in Building 1 that will be allowed to have a total of two building signs. Building 6, which is intended to occupy a single large tenant, will be permitted to have a total of two non-illuminated building signs. The Uniform Sign Program indicates that there will be a total of two property identification (monument) signs, one sign to be located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street and the other sign to be located at the southeast corner of the site, adjacent to the end of 7th Street. 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. 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. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map, Design Review, and Uniform Sign Program.

It is approximately 1,200 feet (north to south). The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,100 feet and 1,075 feet, respectively. The overall project site is bound on the west by the Cucamonga flood control channel and beyond that there are single-family residences in the City of Ontario. To the east are industrial office/warehouse buildings and an operations facility for Verizon. To the north is property owned by the City of Rancho Cucamonga where a City Public Works administration building and a household hazardous waste facility is located. The property to the south is vacant. The zoning of the property and the properties to the north and east is General Industrial (GI) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Low-Medium (LM) Residential District. Design Parameters: The applicant submitted a request to construct a single 23,675 square foot concrete tilt up industrial building on the south side of 9th Street between Lanyard Court and Vineyard Avenue. The site is currently composed of two parcels totaling 1.25 acres of land. Both parcels currently have single family residences on them. Both houses will be removed and neither have any historical significance per the submitted cultural assessment report. The basic layout of the building will be typical for a warehouse building. One unique design feature is that the dock area is located inside the building with roll up doors to visually conceal the area from adjacent properties. The floor plan has 1,500 square feet of office space and with 1,500 square feet of mezzanine above it and a 20,675 square feet of warehouse space. The majority of the parking is located behind a screen wall and sliding security gate. The rear of the property is enclosed by chain link fence with dense landscaping to screen the parking area from adjacent properties. The required parking is 33 stalls and 35 parking stalls will be provided with 2 trailer storage/parking areas both required and provided. Landscape coverage is 14 percent; the minimum requirement for this Development District is 12 percent. The proposed buildings will be of concrete tilt-up construction. The building will be painted with a palette of four colors. The majority of the building will be color#2 Alpaca with greys and white as accent colors. The building glass will be blue in color and the awning with the store front mullions will be clear Anodized. The employee lunch area contains a trellis feature near the front of the building. The concrete at the drive approach and the pedestrian area near the front entrance will have a decorative pattern.
