4. ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS
4A. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 84-13
- SYCAMORE INVESTMENTS - The development of a 43,992 sq. ft. commercial
shopping center with retail shops, fast food restaurant, and gasoline service
station/convenience market on 5.444 acres of land in the Neighborhood
Commercial District, located on the northeast corner of Archibald and Base Line
- APN 202-181-27.
Mr. Wasserman, City Manager, stated it was staff's recommendation that when new
plans come in on appeals that are different from what the Planning Commission
saw, they be referred back to the Planning Commission. Therefore, it was
staff's recommendation that this item be referred back to the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Mikeis asked the Council what they wished to do since these were new
plans which had been submitted. Mr. Tart, the appellant requested that he
continue with the appeal since he was seeking direction which he has not been
able to receive at lower levels. Council concurred to proceed with the appeal.
Staff report was presented by Dan Coleman, Associate Planner. Mr. Coleman
presented some slides showing pedestrian oriented shopping centers. He stated
it was staff's recommendation not to circumvent the planning process, but to
refer this back to the Planning Commission.
Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
Jack Tarr, appellant, presented the original plans as submitted to Design
Review, the revisions submitted to Planning Commission, and the revisions
made after the Planning Commission's denial. He requested Council's
approval of plans as submitted to Council; and if not, then give him
specific direction where he hasn't complied.
Jim Barton stated that he has never had a problem with Design Review,
Planning Commission, or City Council. He felt the quality of life in
Rancho Cucamonga has changed and felt the Council should deny the appeal.
Jane Grent expressed she was tired of developers putting down the Planning
Commission.
There being no further response from the public, Mayor Mikels closed the public
hearing.
Mayor MikeIs expressed to Mr. Tarr that someone was directing him in the right
direction because there has been a great deal of improvement from the first set
of drawings. He further stated that the Council should not act as Design
Review or Planning Commission.
Councilman King felt it would be appropriate for
Planning Commission. He felt there could be more
gas station area.
this to go back to the
streamlining done around the
Councilman Buquet felt encouraged with the changes thus far. He had concerns
about uses on the site. He did like the direction it was going, but felt this
should go back to the Planning Commission.
MOTION: Moved by Dahl, seconded by King to refer this back to Design Review on
November 1 and the Planning Commission on November 14. Motion carried
unanimously 5-0.
Mayor Mikels called a recess at 8:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:52 p.m.
with all members of Council and staff present.

4B. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION-TENTATIVE TRACT 12414 - AM COMPANY -
ApEeal by Councilmember Dab1 of Planning Commission decision to grant a 30%
park fee credit based on the amount of open space provided in Tract 12414 as
permitted by Ordinance 105-B. Staff report by Linda Daniels, Associate
Planner.
Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
Gary Mitchell, of AM Company. Me urged Council to grant the 30% park fee
credit.
There being no further public response, Mayor Mikeis closed the public hearing.
Councilman Dahl stated his reason for the appeal was because the Ordinance did
not allow any park credit for this type of open space. He felt that if Council
was to offer any park credit, then this could be looked at as a "condo" type
project or planned development and be assessed accordingly.
Councilman King stated it was his position in a case like this when a
development is offering some open space, then some kind of credit should be
allowed. He felt this would be a dangerous precedent in making this a PUD.
Councilman Dahl felt Council would be setting a dangerous precedent to go
against the ordinance. He wanted to consider this as a PUD since it has a
large amount of open space and recreational areas.
Mayor Mikeis stated that the amount of open space being provided in this
project would be required today. When it was submitted, it was not the
requirement. It may be appropriate to take a look at the park dedication
ordinance since the passage of SB 2137. However, he objected to an applicant
who was denied at the Planning Connnission level try to get around the action by
coming to the City Council.
MOTION: Moved by Dahl to uphold the appeal to deny the Planning Commission
decision to grant the 30% park fee credit for Tract No. 12414.
· Councilman Buquet requested some alternatives.
Mayor Mikeis stated that we can review Ordinance No. I05-C. If, after review
of the Ordinance, the City Council could decide to grant private open space
credit based on certain criteria. Right now the three acre minimum puts a
damper on any open space credit. There is a possibility that Council could
retroactively grant the credit. He would like to provide an incentive for
quality developments in the City. He was against interpreting this development
as a condominium development.
Councilman Dahl stated he felt very strongly about Ordinance No. 105-C and was
willing to review it, but not willing to change it.
Mr. Dougherty expressed that the only distinction in the ordinance is between
single family residences and multiple family residences. In this case, it
appears you have single family detached residences. There is not a basis for
applying the multiple family residential rate.
MOTION: Moved by Dahl to amend the former motion to uphold the appeal to allow
for retroactive fee adjustments which may be made through a restudy of
Ordinance No. 105-C. Mation failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Mikeis suggested that a motion be made on just the appeal.
Councilwoman Wright stated that the issue should be, does the project deserve
credit for open space or does it not. She does not intend to create a whole
new sphere of dealing with open space credit. She believes the project does
deserve open space credit.

RESOLUTION NO. 84-269
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
84-02-B, 19TH STREET CORRIDOR STUDY, TO AMEND THE
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP FROM MEDIUM HIGH RESIDENTIAL
TO MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL ON APPROXIMATELY 15.75 ACRES OF
LAND, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 19TH STREET BETWEEN
ARCItIBALD AVENUE AND AMETHYST AVENUE - APN 201-101-07,
11, 21 (IN PART ONLY) AND 22.
Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
Mr. Goldie, speaking in behalf of the property owner, felt this property
was ideally suited for medium high density because of its location to
commercial properties, to the freeway corridor, and its location along 19th
Street. He presented a proposition tO amend the Development Code for this
property and designate it 14-18 du/ac. This would reduce the spread
available on the property by over 60%, set defined limits on it, and allow
for all the other good types of review that the City has built in. He
stated that even with the existing higher density (14-24 du/ac), a plan
recently went through and whatever types of consideration it received as to
why it was rejected, density (other than along 19th Street) was not the
issue. He suggested a compromise to amend the Development Code for a
density of 14-18 instead of 14-24. They would accept a density of not
greater than 18 du/ac.
Mr. Kroutil, Associate Planner, stated that we do not have authority to
condition zoning unless Council was willing to rethink the categories in the
General Plan. This cannot be approved or disapprove since this amendment is
based on the District as it currently exits.
City Attorney stated Council would have to create a separate zoning district
classification in order to comply with the suggestion made, because State law
precludes adopting a zoning classification which would only be able to be
applied to one property within the City. Council would have to create a
separate classification called perhaps 14-18 du/ac; that would be the way it
would read, even if in fact, it may only be applied to one property.
Chris Funk, Lincoln Properties, encouraged Council to create a Development
District of 14-18 units per acre.
Mr. Demena, who lives south of the proposed site, wanted to keep the high
density down.
Jim Frost stated that higher density will be appropriate at some future
date when the freeway is in place.
Jane Grent, 9927 Mignonette Street, felt that this should remain at the '~"
designation.
Bruce Ann Hahn, 9910 LeVine, wanted to see the single story through the
entire project and at 4-14 du/ac.

Larry Bliss, 6634 Carnelian, spoke in favor of Lincoln Properties project
and the compromise which Mr. Goldie set out of 14-18 du/ac.
Jim Kavakian, 6739 Teak Way, stated the 18 dwelling units per acre density
was not acceptable.
There being no further public response, Mayor Mikeis closed the public hearing.
Council discussion following with Council concurring to go along with the 19th
Street Study recommendations.
Mayor MikeIs asked if the Resolution sufficiently distinguish the 15.75 acres
of land which is the total parcel which includes the OP zoning on the southeast
corner of the parcel.
Mr. Johnson responded that the Planning Commission first considered 18.75 acres
which included not only the "OP" and the Lincoln Properties site, but also two
additional properties which he pointed out on the map. What Council is looking
at now is only the 15.75 acres.
MOTION: Moved by King, seconded by Wright to approve Resolution No. 84-269,

RESOLUTION NO. 84-270
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
84-02-C, 19TH STREET CORRIDOR STUDY, TO AMEND THE
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP FROM LOW-MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL
AND OFFICE PROFESSIONAL TO LOW RESIDENTIAL ON 11.23
ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 19TH
STREET AND HERMOSA AVENUE - APN 202-191-13, 14, 23
Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
Bruce Ann Hahn requested Council to consider a low density for this parcel.
James Chase, part o~ner in the Low Medium property to the north and part
owner of the property designated OP, wanted Council to consider down zone
the entire property to '%M".
Jim Kovakian, 6739 Teak Way, expressed that the 19th Street Corridor Study
Group adopted the Resolution because it was the desires, needs, and wants
for the future of the community. He urged Council's approval of the
Croup's recommendations.
There being no further public response, Mayor Mikels closed the public hearing.
Councilman King expressed that in this immediate area he felt the designation
should be '~M" at the intersection because of the substantial costs involved to
improve the intersection of Hermosa and 19th Street which a lower density could
not support these improvements.
Councilman Dahl felt that the "OP" should be "LM" at 19th and Hermosa and '%"
for the '~M" on the other parcel. The bottom half of the project to the west
comes up for extension in January 1985. If at that time there hasn't been a
project filed and it hasn't begun construction, he would stand in favor of also
down zoning that property.
Mr. Buquet expressed concerns with the single family to the east. He could not
support '~M" to the north and south. He felt a transition going from '~M" at
the corner and working up to a single family buffer was the only way to solve
this problem.
Mayor MikeIs concurred that designating the intersection '~M" makes sense. He
felt that master planning the area makes even more sense.
Mr. Gomez suggested that Council look at the entire piece in one land use
category. The objectives brought up can be formulated through the new policies
that are in the Development Code and through use of a master plan. From a
design prospective, it will provide more flexibility with one designation
category.
Discussion followed by Council regarding these issues.
MOTION: Moved by Dahl to change the '~M" to '4" and the "OP" to '~M."
Councilman King would second the

motion, but he didn't know if this would
He felt this should be directed back to
Mr. Kroutil suggested that the site be in just one designation. There are
design constraints on a site that is only 10 acres which has single family
residential on three sides, two streets butting into it, constraints relative
to Hermosa and 19th Street intersection, drainage, etc. If you want the best
possible project, you need the flexibility of designing for the entire site.
There being no second to Councilman Dahl's motion, the motion failed.

MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by King to change the "OP" to '~M" with the
intent of implementing actions which would bring this in the parameter with the
single family homes. Motion carried by the following vote:

NOES: Wright
After further discussion by Council, Councilman Dahl requested to change his
vote since he thought they were talking about master planning the property. If
not, he did not want it to be '~M".
MOTION: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Wright to reconsider Resolution No. 84-270.
Motion failed 5-0.
MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by King to amend the original motion to

5. NON-ADVERTISED HEARINGS
5A. REGULATIONS OF AMBULANCE SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Item
continued from October 3, 1984 meeting. Staff report presented by Lauren
Wasserman, City Manager.
Bob Doughstry, City Attorney, reviewed his comments made to Council by letter.
Council concurred to proceed with the public hearing and no make changes in the
ordinance now.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
Michael Leight, attorney for Canyon Medical, stated that the Council has
stated that their intent was to regulate emergency medical services in the
City, not to regulate non-emergency medical services. If that is the case
then he felt it should be stated in the ordinance that it is intended to
regulate emergency medical transportation and specifically exclude
non-emergency medical transportation. He still has not read in the
transcripts any need for the ordinance, and wondered what has happened in
the city to require a need for the ordinance.
Dr. Gerald Friedman, one of the principals in Canyon Medical, 600 North
13th Avenue, Upland. He requested that the definitions of emergency and
non emergency services be written into the Code.
John Lyons felt that any ambulance company operating in Rancho Cucamonga
should provide paramedic services.
Dennis Hansberger, Trans Medical, responded to some technical comments made
by Dr. Friedman. He also emphasized the fact that they could meet the
requirements of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Wright asked Mr. Hansberger if his ambulances required a paramedic
on every call.
Mr. Hansberger responded '~o" because there would be transportation work
done which does not require a paramedic.
Councilwoman Wright expressed that there was nothing in the ordinance which
would require a paramedic to respond to every emergency call in the City. She
stated the ordinance only states that a paramedic needs to be available in the
City on 24 hours, not that a paramedic will be on every emergency call.
Section 4.1.17 states who is required to be on the ambulance --an EMT-1A shall
be the driver and EMT-1A shall be the ambulance attendant. She felt the
problem with the ordinance was that our intention was one thing, but the
ordinance was stating something else.
Councilman Buquet referred to Section 4.1.17 (a) which states that at least one
attendant shall hold a certificate as an MIC paramedic issued by the Health
Officer for ALS ambulance. This was just one section which refers to a
paramedic.
Councilwoman Wright asked if the one ambulance in the City was on an emergency
call, what happened if there was another emergency call? Would this preclude
every single emergency call from being answered by a paramedic? There is still
the possibility that every single emergency call would not be answered by a
paramedic, and the possibility that ambulances with red lights and sirens would
be driving without a paramedic on board.

Mr. Hansberger responded "yes" it could be, but it would not say paramedic
on the outside. In a support situation, an ambulance might answer an
emergency call without a paramedic; but in all paramedic situations, a
paramedic will respond unless they were devoid of paramedics in the
region. They have a number of paramedic stations in the region of Ontario,
Upland, Fontana, and they have a standard rotational system when the City's
unit has responded to a call, there is an automatic movement so that they
are in the closest response mode for the City. No one else can offer this
at the present time.
Discussion followed regarding whether all ambulances would have paramedics on
board when responding to emergency calls, and what actions are required to be
approved for paramedic services.
There being no further public response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilman King stated that the ordinance does not require a paramedic on all
types of calls that a paramedic is to be required on.
Councilwoman Wright pointed out that in Section 4.1.17 if read in its entirety
and not take just the last sentence in section (a) out of context, it makes it
clear that not all paramedics need to be on board. To future companies this
could apply that not all ambulances need to be ALS. In section (b) it states
that each ambulance being operated in the city in response to an emergency call
shall be staffed by a driver and attendant -- it does not state it needs to be
an MIC paramedic.
Council discussion followed.
Councilman King expressed that he

the emergency, the Canyon-type transport,
Mr. Dougherty responded that Section 4.1.13 does require an emergency MIC
paramedic ambulance, but does not require that an MIC paramedic ambulance be
used on all emergency calls. He suggested that if it is Council's intent that
MIC paramedics be used on all emergency calls, this could be accomplished by
amending Section 4.1.17 (b) by substituting the words, '~IC paramedic" for the
word "attendant."
Mayor MikeIs stated the paramedic service was the heart of the matter. This
language change would resolve this issue.
Councilman Dahl suggested that we move ahead with the ordinance and amend this
section at the next meeting.
Discussion followed whether to adopt the present ordinance and come back for
amendments. Since Councilwoman Wright had stated she had 19 other concerns
with the ordinance and the hour was late, Councilman King felt these concerns
should be addressed.
MOTION: Moved by King, seconded by Buquet to continue to November 7 for
further Council discussion. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
