b. Mayor Mikeis opened the meeting to those who were present with issues
relating to flood control. Addressing Council was:
Thomas Kiltic, 9335 Calle VarJar, stated his neighborhood consisting
of seven homes has been having a continual problem with the catch
basin located between Hellman and Arrow backing up. During this
storm it blocked up and flooded their homes. In the past, it has
back up even when it was not raining. At times raw sewerage also
backs up.
Mayor Mikeis thanked him for coming and making council aware of the
problem. They would see that the City Engineer looked into this and inform
the Cucamonga County Water District who handled the sewer transmission.
c. Bob Dutton suggested that council consider creating a city-wide assessment
district for flood control. Mayor Mikels asked him if he were asking for
Measure "W" to be resurrected. Mr. Dutton stated he was. He felt because of
the problems with this storm that many will now vote for the Measure. He
suggested that Council consider doing this on the November ballot. Mr. Dutton
also expressed that perhaps the City of Ranthe Cucamonga should to something
even more since the funds received would not be enough to do the Job
adequately.
d. Mr. Frost suggested that Council direct Mr. Robinson to give staff a
strong commendation for their work during the storms. Council concurred.
e. Mayor Mikels announced that the EPA is poised to enforce funding and
construction sanctions on non-attainment areas for various emissions of
various air pollutants. The effect would be to cut off all federal funding
for highway and sewage plants and expansion projects within the Los Angeles
basin. He directed staff to write letters to the EPA and our legislators in
opposition to those sanction.
f. Mayor Mikels announced that two new metropolitan statistical areas are
being suggested for the County of San Bernardinc. Previously we had been
included with the Los Angeles/Long Beach metropolitan statistical area which
did a disservice to our County. He directed staff to write letters to our
legislators in support of the SANBAG resolution to create the new primary
statistical area for reporting purposes.
g. Mayor Mikels had received a letter from Supervisor Townsend regarding the
Las Vegas Bullet Trail feasibility study. He directed staff to make copies
for Council. He felt perhaps Council should review the material and take a
position on this.
h. Mayor Mikels announced that at the SANBAG meeting, the newest appointee to
the California Transportation Commission, former Assemblyman Walt Engles, was
present. He indicated his support for the Route 30 project. Also, at this
meeting, an overall work program of SANBAG was presented which included a
$35,000 consultant's study for some traffic system, management study for the
Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Ontario industrial areas.
i. Councilman Buquet announced he had attended the League Public Safety
Committee meeting. He stated Assemblyman Shear, Chairman of the Criminal Law
City Council Minutes

and Public Safety Committee, was present. A gentleman was also present
representin~ the governor indicating that one of the top priorities would be
funding for Public Safety Services for Police and Fire. Consurn was also
expressed regarding emergency services. Another area they were looking into
was to provide cities the same type of protection the federal government
receives in regards to law suits.
J. Mr. Robinson requested that item "i" be removed from the Consent Calendar
and continued to the March 16th meeting. Council concurred.

Councilmen Buquet expressed his concerns regarding the Eastwood improvements
on the west side.
Councilmen Frost stated he agreed with Chuck. With a full sized vehicle you
can't turn around; you have to back out.

landowner at this time, but wait and meke it a condition of future
development.
Council continued the discussion regarding the current street width and when
the improvements should be required.
Mayor Mikeis stated that the item before Council was the zone change and not
the Parcel itself. As soon as the zone change is acted upon, then it would
hasten development of the property and thus the improvement of that half
street.
Mr. Frost suggested to continue the zone change.

appeal for it, and it has now passed. This is the last step.

improvements.

{INO {! DISTEXCT. An amendment to Section 61.0217 of the Zoning
Ordinance to. include an overlay district containing various development
incentives to produce senior citizen oriented multi-family housing, as well as
site development and general overlay district location criteria. Staff report
by Tim Beedle, Senior Planner, and Rick Marks, Associate Planner.
ORDINANCE NO. 193 (first reading)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 61.0217 OF THE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE CREATING A
SENIOR HOUSING OVERLAY DISTRICT.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing.' There being no response,
the public hearing was closed.
Mayor Mikels went over his concerns. He felt this was premature before the
Administrative Guidelines are produced; therefore, he did not really know what
they would be approving. He would like to see the approval of those
Administrative Guidelines by the city council be added. The heart of what
they would be approving would be in those guidelines. For example, on page 65
of the agenda, item 2, the overlay district location requirements --states
that land use must be compatible with the living environment required by
senior citizens is mentioned in proximity to medical facilities. Again, item
5 states that the immediate surrounding area must be free from serious health
safety or noise problems. He had a hard time understanding what this means
and where this District could be located with these guidelines. He felt this
should be continued until they have the full guidelines.
Mr. Dahl asked what "fast tract processing" meant? Mr. Beedle said the
process is establishing a review schedule. As soon as the development is
submitted to the city, the city can provide the applicant a review schedule.
It doesn't abbreviate the process, but setting a schedule for the prJect if it
is adequate, meets all the conditions, it can go through this process. Mr.
Dahl stated he felt this should be done for every development which come to
the City and not Just senior citizen housing.
Mr. Frost stated he did not understand Mr. Beedle's answer.
Mr. Marks stated that if all the initial submittals are complete, then this
project would go ahead of others in order to move it through the process
quickly. The theory being that time is money. If we can process this
quickly, then it is possible for the applicants to keep the cost of the rents
down. The city gets the benefit of reduced rent schedules for senior
citizens, and the developer gets the benefit of having the project move
quickly through the review process.
Mayor Mikels stated: (1) There has to be a effective way to monitor such
agreements. (2) He had problems looking at the two projects coming before
them. They are only lookiag at a very small portion of the total units for
seniors. He did not want to beef up incentives when housing wasn't entirely
for seniors.
Mr. Frost suggested "fast tracking" should be eliminated and call it
"priority" instead. Council concurred with this.
Mr. Dougherty stated the developer agreements provides on part of a developer
some assurance that a project once begun will be allowed to continue
regardless of change in administration. It does provide the City some
assurance of some controls which you would not otherwise be able to impose are
enforceable. A development agreement is a document which will be negotiated
in each individual case within the broad guidelines of the authorizing
ordinance. Once that development agreement is entered into, then the
City Council Minutes
March 2, 1983
Page 7
development agreement is recorded with the County Recorder. Its provisions
are of record, and it would have the provisions which State law requires. It
be reviewed annually to determine whether or not the provisions are being
complied with.
Mayor Mikels asked if there is a law for remedies for non-compliance or do
they have to be entered into each agreement anew? What kind of remedies can
we seek?
Mr. Dougherty stated one of the remedies of non-compliance would be a
contractural remedy that would allow the city upon violation to go into court
to seek to enjoin in any violation and would also provide for the recovery of
the costs and attorney's fees in the event the city were put to that effort.
All this would be in the development agreement itself.
Mr. Buquet wanted to see more specific senior citizen projects and not
combined with other projects.
Mr. Dahl concurred. He felt that with the utilization of the density bonus,
with the ability to reduce on-site parking, and with the waiver of some of the
fees he did not feel there was any need for additional incentives to convince
a developer to build senior citizen projects. He felt the prioritizing of
projects did not due any favor for the rest of the developments in the City.
Mayor Mikeis stated he wanted to be able to see definitions and criteria
located on the General Plan and see where they could go. Also, wanted to see
the Administrative Guidelines approved by the City Council.
Mr. Buquet strongly emphasized that all units within a development be for
seniors and not combine housing with other types of units.
Mr. Beedle stated they will bring this back with some options for council's
consideration.
Mr. Dougherty stated what council has snggested would require considerable
change to the ordinance, and it may have to be referred back to the Planning
Commission first. It is required that if Council makes changes in any area
that was not considered by the Planning Commission, the item must be referred
back to them for consideration. He felt it would be best if staff would draft
an amended ordinance and run it through the Planning CommissiOn before
bringing it to the Council.
Mayor Mikels requested that the draft be given to the Council at the same
time.
Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Buquet to continue first reading to April
6th in order to give staff time to draft the ordinance changes and to take it
to the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

Mayor Mikels called a recess at 9:25 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
