Staff report by Dan Coleman, Senior Planner. (0701-06 APPEAL). City Council Minutes November 6, 1985 Page 5 Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Charles Wear, representing Assured Mini-Storage, requested Council to make a finding as to whether this would be an appropriate use and design. If the problem is not use but architectural, then grant the appeal and send it back to the Planning Comsission and Design Revie~ to meet the architectural needs. A~dy Arczynski, Deputy City Attorney, stated there was another alternative and that would be to deny the appeal without prejudice which meant they could reprocess the application in order to comply with Design Revie~ and Planning Commission criteria. Alan Tibbets, adjacent land owner, addressed objections to the project: namely architectural, height of the wall between the properties (wall should be approximately 70~ higher), and length of wall. They do not ob- ject to the use, but felt it was not properly designed to blend in with the surrounding area. There being no further public response, Mayor Mikels closed the public hearing. Councilman King stated that he did not have any objections to the mini-storage concept in the industrial area. He felt that with the specific site restraints of this parcel in terms of the length and width, it would be basically impossi- ble to design any project that would be compatible with the Industrial Specific Plan. MOTIOn: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Wright to deny the appeal without preju- dice and direct the applicant, if he chooses, to go back through the process. Mayor Mikels stated that because it is a non-conforming use, he did not see how that massive structure is going to fit into the goals of the Industrial Specif- ic Plan. He did not want to encourage the applicant, but he would support the motion without prejudice if the applicant wanted to go back through the pro- cell, Mr. Dahl stated that because of the amount of hours spent on the ISP and She amount of attention that was paid to Subarea 6 in particular, he would be inclined to go along with the Planning Cosmission's decision. He could not support anything that was a non-conforming use in that area. Mr. King stated it was clear that there were at least three councilmembers who felt iC would not be possible to make this compatible. Motion carried unanimausly 5-0. 4B. TREE PRE~ERV~TIO~ OR~IN~IeCE AM~DM~eT - Proposed amendments to Chapters 17,08 and 19.08 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code pertaining to the pres- ervation of trees on private property. Staff report by Dan Coleman, Senior Planner. (0203-02 TREES) Mr. King asked why is topping the trees prohibited? Mr. Coleman responded that topping an eucalyptus tree results in eliminating so such foliage from the tree that you are force feeding a smaller amount of the tree which crea~es extensive sucker growth and fast limb growth. This increases the summer branch drop and limb breakage in the high winds. Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Sam Knspp, arborill, sta~ed tha~ he was present to answer any questions of Council. Councilmen King asked him if he concurred with the recommendation that if someone wanted to preclude a tree from falling on a structure that rather than topping it, the tree should be removed? Mr. Knapp responded chat he did. City Council Minutes November 6, 1985 Page 6 Mayor MikeIs asked if the prohibition of toppin8 covered just trees on City property or is that private eucalyptus as well? Mr. Knapp staged thaw technically is should be including all trees. Mr. Coleman stated in the draf ordinance it would apply only to the euclapytus windrows. Councilwoman Wright asked if the precautions listed on page 190 were sufficien~ to protect the existing trees? Mr. Knapp responded vet7 ~-,ch so, yes. Jim Frost, Etiwanda resident and former Chairmen of the Etiwanda Specific Plan Advisory ComaStree, expressed that whenever the provisions of =he Etiwanda Specific Plan in~oses more restrictive regulations than are imposed or required by any other law, title, ordinance, code, or regula- tion, the provision of the Ztiwsnda Specific Plan shall govern. The windrows characterizes a rural imaSe which gives Ktiwanda a sense of place and identity. It was never the intent of any men~er of the Comatitles to have a wholesale policy in the removal of the blue gum eucalyptus. He en- couraged Council to visit the project before second reading of the ordi- nance. Bill Travino, visitor who brought his son to witness the Council meeting, had worked with trees for many years, He stated that if you amputate a tree improperly, you will have results which are detrimental to the health of the tree as well as to the safety of people. Sharon Romero, member of the Citizens Advisory Commission, stated the Com- mission supported the ordinance. Kevin gggleston, 7165 Teak Way, felt we should not have a wholesale removal of the blue guma. Carols Lim, Caberllo/&lwnd, wanted to save the trees, Sam Zmerick, 9751 Willow wood Drive, was pro tree. Be felt we should regulate and control development in those areas of the City where th windrows still exist. Phil Yenavkian, felt this was an outstandins ordinance. There being no further public response, Mayor MikeIs closed the public hearing. Councilman King expressed that fruit and nut trees should not be included in this ordinance, Dan Coleman stated that the existing ordinance exempt fruit and nut bearing trees from protection. This ordinance would grant considera- tion for protection on a case-by-case basis. Councilwoman Wright stated she felt the ordinance should zero in on some things and went over the following items: 1. The gtivanda residents comments should be taken into consideration since the gtiwanda Specific Plan included them. 2. She did not feel the eucalyptus trees would be incompatible with de- velopment. 3. We should have the philsophy of encouraging developers to develop around the trees using them as the them. Instead of preserving priority- focusing on removal of the trees, we should focus on the and relocation of trees. Preservation should be the first As a last resort only, the tree could be removed. Councilmen King felt that in some situations that topping a tree is more sensi- ble than removal and planting of a younger tree. He felt that instead of stal- ins that tree topping is prohibited, we should add something to the e£fec~ that if someone wishes to top a tree, they should get a permit. City Council Minutes November 6, 1985 Page 7 Councilman Dahl wanted more emphasis on preserving the windrows whereever pos- sible and retain the wording as it relates to the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Al- so, when planting new trees in areas where there is a lot of turfing, methods should be used to assure deep rooting with the method being approved by the Planning Comm/ssion or the Planning Department. Mayor Mikels suggested that if Cnuncil would summarize their suggested changes and get them to staffs then an ordinance could come back at the next meeting for consideration. MOTION: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Buquet to continue first reading of the Or- dinance to November 20th. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

Councilmen King stated that given the location of the parcel and the way it is .'evated in terms with what is surrounding it on the east and west, and given :s relationship to the entrance and exit to the comsmnity, he felt from a a point of view it was necessary to have single story structures. He did n :eel the bigher densit7 should be allowed because it will necessitate ~he t~ ~ry structures. Although he was not against the 4-14 density, be felt it sh. be clear that this particular site basically necessitates a single-story ecru ~re. Mryor MikeIs etated that the action tonight would simply give them the range of 4-14. Councilman Buquet felt that on the south side of the street those houses all face south away from Base Line which are also on the bill. He could support this site because of the site location and that it is a less impacting parcel with the flood control on the east and on a major traffic artery. Councilmen Dahl stated he could go along with the density designation if it could be looked at in the aid-range densit7 (10-12 du/ac). MOTION: Carried unanimously 5-0. ACTION: Direction to staff: (1) middle range density, and (2) single stox7 in the front along Base Line. 4F. FNVIROHMRxT~x. A~SESSM~XT AND G~qERAx.

(0203-05 ISP AMENDMENT) Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Larry Nelson, applicant, stated that their request for the General Plan change was because after meeting with the City, the requirements within the Industrial Specific Plan basically regards the location of this property to the fremway. There are already restrictions on this site for outside stor- age, the lack of rail which handicaps its ability to utilize the heavy in- dustrial nature, the location of the major regional shopping center, and the additional traffic which is being incurred because of the City's dynam- ic growth. Phillip Schlosser, Schlosser Forge, requested that this be denied because medium industrial was not compatible with heavy industrial uses. Jim Barton, Chairmen of the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Conun/CCee, stated that they have looked at this and felt perhaps the best thing would be to eliminate the street and make all the property part of the same type of environment. With the street bisecting the major piece of property, you end up with some potential undevelopable land. Mark McAdsme, Cushman and Wakefield, 337 North Vineyard Ave., Ontario, ad- dressed the marketability of the property. Charles West stated that one of the issues in incorporation was to protect the heavy industrial area. He felt the City should block this. There being no further public response, Mayor MikeIs closed the public hearing. Mayor MikeIs stated that the change which is being requested for this property is essentially for aesthetic purpose to upgrade the view from the freeway. The concern of Schlosser Forge is we were here a long time ago and we want to stay. What we need to do is to figure out ways to achieve both of those goals. The Planning Comnission has suggested putting language into the policies of the plan which requires a notification of intent on this property that you have heavy industry which has vibration, noise, etc., so the people will know what they are getting into before they get into a building. A second way to handle this which has some potention which he would like to explore is to come up with a type of development agreement to achieve this while at the same time businesses are moving onto the land adjacent to the freeway on the parcel in question, they be notified of the impact of the uses adjacent to the overall property with some language added in a lease. Councilmen Dahl stated that its not the City's responsibility to determine what the highest and best use is for that particular parcel. Our concern is what is the ares designation and zoning. Be saw no reason why we should change a des- ignation of an ares that is needed in the hea~7 industrial area. Councilwomen Wright stated she had been told that the cost of the property was too high for heavy industrial to come into the area. She went along with Mayor Mikels to work out something to secure Schloseer Forge's future and to work out something for those who would come in to protect them also. Councilmen [ins felt that at the present time he would be in favor of leaving the land use as is. Mr. groutil stated that staff is in the process of updating some basic compo- nents of the ISP. It is obvious that Council wants the heavy industrial area protected, and yet the question to the relationship to the uses and lot sizes to the freeway are also important. The ISP has the flexibility to do the kinds of things that can't be done under standard zoning. He suggested that the goals could be made compatible with an ISP change.

Staff report by Dan Coleman, Senior Planner. (0701-06 APPEAL) Mayor MikeIs opened the mawtin2 for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Michael Parfish, 898~ Caberallo Drive, felt that allowances for the windrows could be erda in plannin2 the developmanc. Also, be did not want to see the trees roeowed for their aesthetic value and for their windbreak value, Bob Comb, 8922 Caberallo Drive, concurred with Mr. Parrish. that the Crews being removed would substantially create a residence since Cbe trees provide a windbreak. He pointed ou~ hardship to his Hal Nelson, representing developer, and John Zieman, representing Ramann Service Corporation, stated that a lot of Cimo was taken in developing the layout of the project and just what Crews could be saved. If they left the Crews, they would not be able Co get the lots out of the project. Charlotte Carrio, Alta Lama, felt the vineyards were the heritage of the area. She wanted to see the windbreak on the extreme north removed because it was a fire hazard. Lisa Holm, 8922 Caberallo Drive, expressed that the trees should be saved for the animals. Ms. Lin wanted the trees saved. (5o) City Council Minutes November 6, 1985 Page 14 Jetgin Burge, 9073 Citation Court, wanted the City Council take more time to study the proposed development. Did not want the trees removed. Shone Pettish, 8984 Caberallo Drive, stated that the trees provided consid- erable windbreak for the area. ~ There being no further public response, the public hearing was closed. Councilman Buquet expressed that the City is trying to come up with some consistent guidelines for eucalyptus trees, windrows, and preservation of such. He felt the remarks about the windrow near the foothills was valid and that we should give some consideration to reincaring the trees as long as it is done in a manner to create the windrow effect adjacent to the trail area. Councilmen Dahl expressed that he did not like to see narrow, deep lots and felt the project could be configured better. He would be willing to uphold the appeal, but wanted to be sure there would be selective cutting of the trees. He felt there should be a redesign. Councilwoman Wright stated she would like to save the windrows and have the de- velopment occur around the trees rather than have the windrows removed. She concurred with Mr. Dahl regarding the long, deep lots. Mayor Mikels felt there was a significant preservation of existing trees, sig- nificant removal, and significant replacements. He felt there was a definite amount of responsibility shown in terms of the selective removal and complete windrow replacement. He did not see that this results in the wholesale removal and disruption of the trees in the area.
