FOOTHILL BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY: INTERIM POLICIES - Council review of Interim policies to be applied to development projects along Foothill Boulevard prior to adoption of the Foothill Boulevard Plan. Staff report presented by Otto Kroutil, Senior Planner. (1110-05 MEDIAN/PARKWAY) Councilwoman Wright stated that there is already a private school on Foothill Blvd. Should another school try to locate in the Foothill corridor, would they need a CUP or follow the interim policies? Mr. Kroutil responded that they would fall under both the interim policies and the development code. In this case, it would require the addition of a CUP; the interim policies would not change that requirement. Councilman Dahl stated that looking at those which are not allowable, Council would be making a lot of the businesses alon~ Foothill non-conformin~ uses. For example, automotive repair including major engine work, muffler shops, painting, body work, and upholstery; tire sales and service; and truck and trailer rental, sales, and service. These uses are presently quite heavy along Foothill. He hated turning anything into non-conformin~ uses which are so predominate as th&se alon~ the corridor. Mayor Mikels stated that the interim policy would not create any non-conforming uses. Mr. Markman stated that in the interim we would give these uses the same non-conforming use protection that they would otherwise have. The ultimate plan for the corridor may or may not preclude any of these uses. City Council Minutes September 18, 1985 Page 5 A lengthy discussion followed regarding the non-conforming uses for the Foothill Boulevard corridor. Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council were: Jim Barton, Economic Development Director for the Chamber of Commerce, stated that they have had a series of meetings going over the same comments which the Council is making. They have worked with the staff. Many changes have occurred since the original draft. Basically everyone on the subcommittee is in agreement that we have a catch 22 situation. There are a lot of things which are constructed on Foothill prior to the city's incorporation. Throughout the meetings and the guidelines, everything has tried to be done to protect everyone within existing structures right now. It was agreed to make notification through the interim policies to each one that if they intend to spend money on their facility for improvements, then the City would like to make sure it fits into a plan. Certain uses are marginal, and we would not like to see another one built along the corridor. Tim Beedie, Reiter Development, stated they are pleased to see the study is looking at uses and standards. Regarding comments on non-conforming uses, he felt the current Development Code provides language which may help if incorporated here. The item in the interim policy regarding master planning: there is a policy which requires when projects come through that they be analyzed in relationship to whether they are a large site which should be master planned. Be felt the potential that as each project comes through to enlarge the area for planning to some larger master plan boundary. What is not in the interim policy which occurs in other documents such as the Haven Avenue Overlay District is the definition of where that master plan boundary is. He felt someone should go in and define those subareas which become logical boundaries for master planning. Larry Bliss, 6644 Carnelian, representing A & R Tire. He said they were not members of the Chamber of Commerce. He hoped that during this study the planners would go out and talk to each individual businessman. Re asked that this be customed tailored as much as possible to each situation and that there be a good balance between the landscaping and signing. There being no further input, Mayor Mikels closed the public portion of the meeting. Mayor Mikeis asked if Council wished to alter the interim policies as they have come from the Planning Commission by giving specific direction of change? Councilman King responded "yes". He felt that normally the final provisions bear a great resemblance to the interim provisions. We have been discussing a lot as it relates to land uses under the interim provisions that shall not be established in office/professional and general commercial districts. Addressing specifically general commercial, be felt nothing wrong either in an interim or in a final plan to allow equipment rental yards, automotive repair, tire sales and service, truck and trailer rental, sales, and service on Foothill Boulevard in a general commercial district. The issue as to whether these types of services are compatible depends on aesthetics, screening, and things of that nature. He would rather see that most of the items under the interim provisions that shall not be established in general commercial for an interim policy be placed under the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit. After further discussion, Councilman King made the following motion: MOTION: Moved by King, seconded by Dahl to move the following items to the list subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit: Automotive Repair including major engine work, muffler shops, painting, body work, and upholstery (except where accessory to automotive sales) Tire Sales and Service Truck and Trailer Rental, Sales, and Service Motion carried by the following vote: City Council Minutes September 18, 1985 Page 6 AYES: Buquet, Mikels, Dahl, King NOES: Wright Mayor Mikels called a recess at 9:15 p.m. with all members of the Council present.

REVIEW OF BID RESULTS FOR CUCAMONGA CREEK RECREATION PROJECT. Staff report by Bill Holley, Com~,,nity Services Director.
