Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the Council were:
Lloyd Shockley, Commercial Carriers, stated their biggest concern was
giving up some of the parking area in front of their business and at the
rear of the property.
Mayor Stout asked if the number of trucks which were intended to be at their
facility had increased.
Mr. Shockley stated no.
Councilman Alexander asked if it would be a problem to eliminate only the
parking spaces in the front of the building.
Mr. Shockley stated it would take away a lot of their parking spaces.
Jim Barton, Barton Development, stated he was representing the property
owners to the north of the appellant's property. He felt that Commercial
Carriers should have to comply with City standards like everyone else
does, and felt they should have to comply with what the City was asking
them to do.
Jim Roundtree, Barton Development Partner, felt the variance should be
denied. He stated they have polled their tenants, and they felt
Commercial Carriers should comply with the City's standards. He submitted
a petition which the tenants had signed to be included as part of the
record.
Fred Beckwin, Ryder Trucking Company, stated back in 1985 the City
required them to do certain things and they had complied with this. He
gave history of the various appeals that have gone through the City, and
felt they have always compromised with Rancho Cucamonga. He also
submitted a plan to be included as part of the record.
Dave Wadley, resident and tenant of the Business Park, stated the City
Council should deny the appeal, because he felt the plan that had been
established was a good one.

that the City would be losing if they compromised anymore. He felt the
appeal should be denied.
There being no further public response, Mayor Stout closed the public hearing.
Councilman Alexander stated he felt that if this was an existing development,
the City should not be able to make Commercial Carriers change things. He also
felt this should be a quality looking development, but he did not agree with the
Planning Commission's decision.
Councilwoman Wright stated she supported the Planning Commission's decision.
Councilwoman Brown stated she also agreed with the Planning Commission's
decision.
Mayor Stout stated he felt the Planning Commission was correct and supported
them.

Civil Engineer. (1110-00 STREET)
Councilwoman Wright asked if a street is under County jurisdiction and
improvements are made, who would be paying for this.
Jack Lam, City Attorney, stated that when there is a private street and
improvements are needed, it is because the residents want the City to make the
improvements.
Councilwoman Wright asked who's responsibility is it.
Andrew Arczynski, Assistant City Attorney, stated the City has no liability if
it is a private street, and that the City will only take it over after it
becomes a public street.

Mayor Stout felt there should be a conscious effort to get some of the areas
that needed landscape maintenance improvements taken care of.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated staff would do this and report back
to the City Council.
Councilwoman Brown stated she was under the impression that the entry monuments
were paid by beautification fees.
Councilwoman Wright stated she was also under this impression and that the
entire City Council had been led to believe this.
Councilwoman Brown stated she did not feel that Landscape Maintenance District
No. 1 should have to be the only district to pay for cost of the monuments, that
it should be shared straight across the board.
Mayor Stout asked if the $120,000 could be put on hold for the entry monuments,
and to be possibly used for something else.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated yes, that City Council could direct
staff to use those dollars for capital improvements, but that staff could come
back to the City Council before any of the dollars are spent.
Mayor Stout asked if the decision could be made at the time staff brings the
information back to them, and that the City Council is not committing these
dollars to this project.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated they are committing the dollars to
be spent, but that Council would have to give direction as to where they wanted
the money spent.
Andrew Arczynski, Assistant City Attorney, stated that what the Council is
really approving is the levy to generate the revenue, that the actual
expenditure would not occur until later.
Councilman Buquet stated that something he would like to see is a break down of
what the anticipated revenues from the beautification funds would be. He
thought that maybe consideration of a proportionate cost sharing, for the sake
of equity, that the assessment district could participate in and that would not
be a significate chunk, and yet would still be something that is equitable. He
suggested that maybe this item could be brought back.

Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, introduced Mr. Warren Diven, who is the Bond
Counsel for this project.
Mr. Diven referred to the Community Facilities District report which was part
of the agenda packet. He also noted that there was a change in the election
date which was noted in Resolution No. 89-262. The corrected date should be
June 27th instead of June 13th. Mr. Diven introduced Loretta Sanchez, who also
presented information on this project.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
James Frost, City Treasurer, stated that in the recommendation of the
staff report, it is suggesting that the City Council adopt the policy that
all future development within the City of Rancho Cucamonga be conditioned
to annex to the law enforcement portion of the district. He asked if all
new development would be paying its own way for law enforcement services,
as opposed to the rest of the City that does not.

Mayor Stout responded yes that all new developed areas would be responsible for
paying for their own law enforcement.
Councilwoman Wright asked for further clarification of this, as far as newly
developed land in an area being responsible for law enforcement services.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that as this district forms, there
are three tracts of vacant land and that other undeveloped properties in this
City, as maps are recorded, they would be conditioned to be a part of the police
community facilities district. He stated they will be paying their fare share
of the police costs.
Councilwoman Wright suggested that possibly the law enforcement portion of this
should be handled in another public hearing.
Councilwoman Brown stated she had a problem with raising the taxes in an
assessment district by a majority vote of the City Council, and instead thought
it should be by a vote of the people.
Mr. Lam stated that the issue of additional taxes for law enforcement was not
something that Mr. Fulwood had thought up.
Mayor Stout stated we are going to have to figure out a way to pay for general
fund types of services, and felt that the law enforcement issue relating to this
should be a separate issue. He stated that the City Council should go ahead
with voting on this, but discuss the other matter of law enforcement at another
meeting date.
