ITEMS F2 AND F3 WERE CONSIDERED AT THE SAME TIME.
F2..- CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT
14475 - SAHAMA INVESTMENTS - Appeal of the Planning Commission's certification of the subsequent
Environmental Impact Report for Vesting Tentative Tract 14475, a residential subdivision and Design Review of 66
single family lots on 113 acres of land in the Hillside Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) and Open
Space Districts, located north of Almond Avenue between Sapphire and Turquoise Streets - APN: 200-051-07,
56, and 57. Staff report presented by Scott Murphy, Associate Planner. He introduced Sandra Bauer, who prepared
the Environmental Impact Report 0EIR), and continued to explain the mechanics of the EIR. (0701-06 APPEAL)
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Leeona Klippstein, President, Friends of the Foothills, stated she disagrees with the developer's comments
that were in a letter she received from their legal consultant. She stated they disagree that rare and
endangered species have been identified on site and stated they have not been mitigated for. She stated the
EIR does not address the issue of endangered species. She stated not all 70 species have been checked on
and a report made. She stated the biological survey does not include the endangered species and did not agree
with the survey information. She continued to report on the sage scrub that has been lost by various
development projects built. Ms. Klippstein felt this project would have adverse affects on the environment.
She stated she did not think the City had a Hillside Management Plan or Specific Plan for Hillside areas.
She felt this project would be a nuisance to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. She felt this violated the Land Management and Resource Plan, and that this project
was not in compliance with the City's General Plan. She stated there were not adequate access roads into
the project. She continued to report about the earthquake fault lines in the middle of the project. She
reported on the birds in this area that would be endangered. She felt the EIR should be sent to another
consultant for review.
Mayor Stout asked for testimony from those supporting the appellant.
Jack Bath, 13232 12th St., Chino, Professor of Biological Sciences, stated the main thrust of the appeal is
that the EIR is inadequate. He reported on the bird species and various other species that he felt were
endangered. He asked that this go back and have another survey done.
Anthony Merser, of Bolsa in Rancho Cucamonga, stated he owned quite a lot of property in the foothills,
and that it is hard for the property owners to be a custodian for the property because of all the people that go
up in the foothills. He felt there should be some kind of plan to keep this activity out of the open area.
Vera Rocha, 3451 Ramona, Baldwin Park, Chief of the Gabrielino Indian Nation, stated she is concerned
with the sage and the habitat for this area and also the preservation of it. She asked that this project not go
through.
David James, President Forest Preservation of California, stated he joined with the position of the Friends
of the Foothills and the Department of Fish and Game. He stated he did not find that the City had a
Hillside Management Plan and also reported on other matters within the General Plan that this project did
not meet. He also reported on the elements of the EIR that he felt were lacking. He stated he opposed the
development of this project, and asked that the City Council deny the project as submitted.
Steve Lamb, P.O. Box 333, Altadena, 91003, stated he finds sites for developers to develop. He stated he
did not think this land is safe for developing.

Art Bridge, 8715 Banyan, stated he has lived in this area for 75 years. He stated what he is concerned about
is the proper use of this land. He felt there were alternatives available for the plans of Sahama's
development as far as density.
Marlene Tmnnel, Friends of the Foothills, reported on the overhead utility lines and the danger it can cause.
She submitted a newspaper axticle for the City Council to consider.
Manuel Rocha, 3451 Ramona, Baldwin Park, also of the Gabrielino Indian Nation, did not agree with how
this land was going to be developed. He hoped that the City Council would never allow anyone to destroy
this land.
Reginald Kiddiensalz V, 7394 Layton, also a business owner, felt there should be land developed with
standards to go by. He did not agree with the depletion of the sage scrub. He stated he was concerned with
the overdevelopment of the foothills. He felt there should be a Hillside Management Plan.
Douglas Stepke, Friends of the Foothills, supported Reginald Kiddiensalv and agreed with those people who
were in favor of preserving the land. He stated he was also reporting for Jack Bath that the EIR does not
offer an alternative site for this project. He felt if this project is approved, the air quality in the City of
Rancho Cucamonga would not improve.
Eric Heating, 3637 Canyon Crest, Riverside, asked that the Council not approve this project and consider
I.,e lives of the people of Rancho Cucamonga.
Mike Wangler, Box Springs Mountains, stated he was concerned as to who would benefit from this. He did
not think this project should be approved and that the land should be preserved. He did not think there
would be any benefit by going ahead with this project.
Corey Briggs, San Diego, stated he felt the EIR is invalid because it does not comply with the General Plan
and CEQA regulations. He asked for the Council not to approve this project, and that a clustering design
be considered.
Dan Konig, 96729 Hermosa, was also concerned about the affects this project would have on the forest He
did not agree with the EIR.
John Brown, Riverside, felt this land should be preserved for sanity 's sake.
Susan, with Friends of the Foothills, read a passage from A1 Gore's book for the Council's information.
Gloria Valtierra, 10187 Chaparral #C, stated she is opposed to the development in the canyon.
Richard Adoglen, of Whiuier, did not understand why this area has to be developed. He felt animals should
also have rights. He did not agree with the EIR.
Mayor Stout called a recess at 9:09 p.m.
Council present.
The meeting was called back to order at 9:27 p.m. with all members of

Catherine Bridge, 8715 Banyan, stated her property is ,~ext to the Sahama property and did not feel the EIR
addressed Sahama's southern portion of the property. She asked that this be further studied. She stated they
have a dream that this area be left at a lower density and did not want this to be something that cannot be
obtained.
Billy Schwarz, 1051 4th St. #20, Ontario, asked that this development be rechecked tonight. She stated she
agreed with the previous speakers. She did not want to kill to eat either and asked that the City Council do
the hght thing.
Kim Rosen, 9386 Banyan, stated there is a group of Alia Loma High School students that have concern
about this project. She asked that the City Council consider something else for this area and consider
clustering and lower density.
Ramona Fernandez, resident of Rancho Cucamonga for 13 years, asked that the City Council do the right
thing for the residents of the City. She felt construction is important in the City, but also felt the
environment is important.
Stephanie Scher, 300 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, Attorney for Sahama Development, felt there was an
ignorance of the people that spoke against this project. She commented that the City does have a Hillside
Ordinance and that this project complies with that. She stated a large part of this project is going to be
dedicated to the City to address the environmental concems. She stated they have been working on this
project for approximately two years. She stated she felt this was a clustered development. She felt what
Leeona Klippstein stated is not supported by facts. She did not feel this project should be denied. She did
not feel the project is that much more dense than what Mr. and Mrs. lilridge want. She stated the alluvial
sage is in the wash and this is not going to be developed as some of the students were referring to this
being desu'oyed. She continued to make remarks to other speakers comments.
Steve Morton, land planner for this project, stated he is here to answer any questions.
Mayor Stout allowed rebuttal remarks from the appellant.
Leeona Klippstein did not think the City should be mined by this project. She stated there are other areas
that have other types of sage scrub that should be preserved also. She stated the EIR is inadequate and that
this project should be denied because it is not beneficial to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of
Rancho Cucamonga. She stated this project is in National Forest boundaries, which is an endangered area,
and also a disaster area.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Buquet asked for the City Attorney to give parameters for this issue.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he would like the opportunity to comment on this and to also defend the staff
because of some of the statements made about the General Plan inadequacies, and so forth, that he did not find in the
appeal, which limited itself to the EIR. He stated the only thing involved in this appeal is CEQA, or whether the
EIR is adequate, and ultimately that will be the Council's decision. He stated affected by that is the map itself
because if the CEQA certification was not fight, then the Planning Commission's approval of the map couldn't have
been right. He pointed out that the Council did have to deal with the fact that there is a constitutionally protected
right for some economically viable use of this property to be made under the First Evangelical Free Church case, as
well as any number of others. He stated this is a very li~w density zoned area, and a low density project. He stated
the only a reason a Council could deny any viable economic use of somebody's property would be if there were some
public health or safety reason involved in it, which he felt is why some of the accusations were made previously.

He stated there were a lot of conclusions made and very little facts that were supplied to support the statements. He
stated the Council's function was to analyze the ,nformation presented to the Council, and if they did not feel
adequate information was presented to them with respect to any of these matters, then they could ask for more. He
stated he has looked through the information of record and has not found any substantiating data that indicates there
may be an endangered species on this site, but added this was for the Council to decide. He stated there has been no
scientific information presented that there may be an endangered species at this site. He stated there has been no
evidence or suggestion on how someone could try to find a burrowing owl or any other endangered species, which
surprised him. He stated he is very comfortable that this project complies with the General Plan, but stated that is
for the Council to decide if they felt they had enough information to make a decision.
Mayor Stout stated it had been mentioned that this project started in 1990, and that this was incorrect because the
process to get this project approved started many years ago and that this has received a lot of environmental
attention. He stated based on the documentation from the Planning Commission meetings and the testimony
presented tonight, he has found nothing indicating that the Planning Commission's decision should be overturned.
Councilmember Alexander stated it was delightful for him to see the younger generation involved in this issue, and
that he was offended by some of the statements made. He did not think this project was a nuisance, nor harmful to
the general welfare of the public. He felt the density was low for this area. He stated he supported the Planning
Commission 's decision on both of these matters.
Councilmember Buquet stated he took offense to some of the statements made by the people. He felt there was
another way to go about something rather than straight criticism that was presented tonight. He stated he did not see
any substantial information as to why this project should be denied.
Councilmember Williams stated she did not think the City Could should say no more development on hillsides
because that was not fair to the property owners. She did not think the clustering would work as was suggested.
She stated this project is not finished being designed and she would have to go along with the Planning
Commission's decision.
Councilmember Wright stated she felt somewhere the line needs to be drawn and felt there needed to be an adequate
EIR done. She felt the City Council should listen to the Bridges because of what they have envisioned for their
property. She felt the City should show the example to the County.

G3. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTION 12.04,010 - AMI~NDMENT TO PARK REGUI .ATIONS TO ALLOW FOR CONDUCT OF
ACTIVITIES AT SPORTS COMPLEX Staff report presented by Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager. She
mentioned that after the Police Department has reviewed the Ordinance, along with the City Attorney, in section
12.04.01A(2), where it states "beverages excepting only beer and wine," they wanted to add the words "sold within"
so it further has the intent that no person. is to bring alcoholic beverages within the stadium, that it is only to be
sold within and consumed within. She stated they would like to amend the wording on page 305 where it states
"except for the possession or consumption of beer and wine," to add "sold within" to the sign language. (1401-03
SPORT ACT)
Councilmember Williams felt when the word stadium is mentioned it should state "stadium building" throughout the
Councilmember Buquet stated he had a problem with the wording in Item 3 on page 305 and the fact that there will
be leagues that go beyond 10:00 p.m., and some that may not even start until 10:30 - 11:00 p.m. He felt
something should be added to mention participating in a City sponsored function would let the City off the hook if
people are at the stadium without approval from the City.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated this was written while they were preparing the lease because this is aimed at
the baseball team operation, that other concerns were not included in this at that time.
Councilmember Buquet felt other activities should be considered in this Ordinance also.
James Markman, City Attorney, felt this should be adopted now, and then bring another amendment to fall on the
heels of this before the stadium opens. He suggested the Council go ahead with this Ordinance now.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response, the public hearing was closed.
Debra J. Adams, City Clerk, read the title of Ordinance No. 505.
