4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. PLANNED CO~R~II"f 81-O1 - LEWI~ D~rELOPM~NT COMPANY. The Terra Vista
Planned Community consists of approximately 1300 acres and is bounded by Base
Line and Foothill Boulevard on the north and south, and by Rochester and Haven
on the east and west. The City Council reviewe~! the project at an adjourned
meeting on Monday, February 7, 1983. The secom~ reading was before Council
for consideration. Staff report by Michael Vairin, Senior Planner.
Mr. Vairin stated he received the revised text from Lewis Homes the next day
after the hearing. He reviewed it, then worked with Lewis Homes and made
further revisions based on Council's direction. The revised text before
Council was based upon direction given at the last meeting -- mainly those
relating to the Park Plan.
Mr. Holley presented information on parks which Council had requested
regarding the various options for the 13.2 acres of dedicated parkland. In
his staff report to Council dated February 14th, he outlined the options as
follows:
1. Take land in a dedicated, developed state, or
2. Take land undeveloped.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
*Ralph Lewis, Lewis Homes, expressed appreciation for the fast action
from staff in getting this ready for adoption.
There being no further comments from the public, Mayor Mikels closed the
public hearing.
Mayor Mikels stated that the Council should consider the 13.2 acres.
Mr. Dahl stated he was in favor of utilizing raw land instead of improved land
for this project, and he was in favor of moving the location of the site from
Base Line and Deer Creek to Base Line and Milliken. For the record, he wanted
to know if Mr. Lewis would be willing to extend the date from a 12 month
period for the purchase of the property to 24 months. He did not want to
include this in the text because it would effect the passage of the ordinance,
however.
*Mr. Lewis responded to the statement by Mr. Dahl of 12 months or 24
months. He said they wanted to be reasonable. They hoped if they agreed
to this, it would not constitute a change so the ordinance would not be
approved tonight. He would hate to have this point hold them up. For
the record, he stated they would be reasonable on that request and try to
comply with it.

Mayor Mik~ls asked that since the Lewis Co. will be coming back with a Park
Implementation Plan following the adoption of the Planning Community, could
provisions be made to implement any decisions made tonight in the Parks
Implementation Plan?
Mr. Dougherty responded that he would caution Council that if a change were
made, that the Ordinance should be given a second reading. On an issue such
as this the Parks Implementation Plan could supercede the text. Basically, it
would be extending the deadline. Mr. Lewis could extend the deadline for
negotions at any time.
Mr. Frost asked Mr. Lewis if it was the intent of his company to actively
assist the city in its acquisition of the 99 acres?
Mr. Lewis stated they do not agreed that under the law they owed that
much, therefore, he was not willing to say they would actively
cooperate. Council can impose whatever condition it wants, and they will
have to weigh it and discuss when they get into the Parks Implementation
Plan. They did not want to commit themselves right now.
Mr. Frost stated it probably will take perhaps up to ten years before the
fourth phase of the proposal is completed. It seems as though during that
time the City could acquire that park over some type of phased purchase
agreement similiar to what we did with Heritag~ Park. He wanted to know how
serious Mr. Lewis was in working with the City. Twelve to twenty-four months
would be unrealistic. If we make that firm a ~mmitment, then we will never
have that park.
Mr. Lewis stated they buy lots of land. They have never had a seller
tell them they could have it when they want it and pay in ten years.
Usually if you want title now, you put cash in escrow. If you want
terms, you negotiate. He felt it was not fair for the City to ask them
to hold this for ten years. Their attorney said they could bring in a
map and request the City to buy the land, condemn the land, or approve
the map. They were not doing that, nor threatening to do that.
Mr. Buquet stated that Mr. Frost's concern was we have had several offers for
parkland throughout the City. We are very interested in acquiring the 99
acres for a total park site. It was hoped that something could be worked out
so the City would be acquiring the last parcel at the same time Lewis Co.
would be completing the final phase.
Mr. Dahl stated this points out the need for the City to look at alternative
methods of financing our parks system and points out the need for more public
involvement from a financial standpoint.
Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Frost that the undeveloped dedicated park
site be located on the west side of Milliken, north of Base Line, south of the
railroad right-of-way, and moving in a westerly direction until dedication
requirement is fulfilled. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
Mr. Dougherty stated that although Mr. Lewis has not made a firm commitment
regarding the 24 month time period, he has indicated a spirit of
cooperation. Therefore, he did not feel comfortable with the effect of the
Parks Implementation Plan as an amendment to this Plan. In the absence of a
firm commitment from Mr. Lewis if Council wishes to insert the 24 month
provision in the text, it should be done as a formal amendment to the text
which would require a new first reading.
*Mr. Lewis stated he promised to commit to the 24 month period.
Council questioned if Mr. Lewis' word would be sufficient in this case?
Mr. Dougherty stated that Mr. Lewis' word to extend this to the 24 months
should be good.

Mr. Dahl felt that Mr. Lewis would like an indication by the Council that in
the event Lewis Homes could obtain the proper tenants that we would be
receptive to a regional shopping center at the corner of Haven and Foothill.
Council had no comment.

C. FORMATION OF ~ND~RGRO~ND DTILII~f DISTRICT NO. ~ ALONG ARCHIBALD AVEN~E.
A public hearing to determine whether the public necessity, health, safety or
welfare requires the formation of an underground Utility District No. 1 along
Archibald Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Church Street. Staff report by
Richard Cota, Associate Civil Engineer.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
*Tom Garnella, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services at Central
School District, 9457 Foothill Boulevard, had questions whether the
project would provide all off-site trenching, conduit and patching at no
expense to the School District?
Mr. Cota stated that any trenching and back filling on private property would
be done at the expense of the property owner. However, there was only one
property on the west side that needed work done. On the east side, the School
District had a light which needed to be relocated.
*Mr. Christopher, of Barmakian, Wolfe, Christopher, & Lang, stated that
basically the sohool's main service came in underground. They had a
minor service to their maintenance facility that came in overhead and a
portable classroom that would need to be trenched for on-site, patching
and repairs. This would involve an amount of money to the District.
Mr. Cota stated that possibly Edison could establish another pole within their
premises.
Mayor Mikels stated the School District could confer with staff members on
these technical questions later.
*Mr. Garnella continued that they were in favor of making Rancho
Cucamonga more attractive. They were concerned about the costs which
could be between $3 to 5,000. They wanted the City to be sensitive to
their financial situation.
*Jan McMahn, 7820 Archibald, stated they received their utilities from
the alley and not from Archibald. There were only six residences on the
west side of Archibald. She expressed they would not be able to come
forth with the $1,000. (She was located between Tryon and Church
Streets).
Mr. Cota stated that those served from the alley would not be affected.
*Joanne Galvin, 9684 Tryon, stated she felt she was hooked up to a pole
on Archibald.
Mayor Mikels asked that Mr. Cota check to see if the service would be
affected. He would not close the public hearing until~ this was straightened
out.
*Mr. Garnella stated they would need more time in order to get with the
Edison Company in order to get a final dollar amount. He had talked with
Bill Wieland of Edison, and he assured them the major costs in regard to
transformers and transformer volts would be born by Edison as part of the
relocation project.
*Mr. Pete Ferro, 8212 London Avenue, representing Mr. Smilery who owns
the house on the corner of Estaeia and Archibald. Their concern was that
their homes were very old. They could be serviced from the alley.
However, would Edison require a lot of improvements before hookups in
order to bring their homes up to code?
Since there were so many questions, Mayor Mikels directed the people with
concerns to go with staff into another room. Council would continue with the
meeting and come back to this item later in the evening.

5.25 acres of land, located on the east side of _eryl Street, 1000 feet south
of 19th Street- APN 202-041-15. Staff report by Rick Gomez, City Planner.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was:
*Greg Bramlet, 7068 Beryl Street, asked if there were any provisions for
restriction or control of traffic on Beryl due to this change between
Base Line and 19th Street? He felt additions in housing would increase
traffic on Beryl which at peak hours is already quite heavy.
Mr. Gomez responsed that the Parcel Map was only done to separate two houses
on the piece of property. At this time it is not anticipated that there will
be any additional building or additional impact to the circulation.
Mr. Lam stated that if there is a concern about traffic, it should
addressed to the City's Traffic Committee.

Further comments from the Council:
Mr. Buquet expressed concern about the matter on Eastwood. He did not feel it
was clear regarding the impact of the zone change and the lot splitting. He
did not feel the issue regarding Eastwood was adequately addressed, and wanted
to make sure there was no confusion.
(23)
City Council Minutes
February 16, 1983
Page 8
Mr. Dahl e~pressed that the zone change did not affect the lot split and felt
the handling of Eastwood was well covered since it had to be rezoned to
conform to the General Plan at the request of any landowner in the City.
Mr. Frost feit they were in error in allowing the Parcel split without some
type of mitigation on Eastwood.
Mr. Dougherty stated we are acting on a zone change at this time and not with
the specifics of the parcel map.
Mayor Mikels set the second reading of Ordinance No. 192 for March 2, 1983.

STAFF REPORTS
A. CONSIDERATION OF G~NRAL PLAN AND ZONE CHANGE FOR AREA LOCATED SODTH OF
6TH STREKT, NORTH OF 4TE STII!~IT, BETW~N HELLMAN AND ARCHIBALD (SUBAREA 16 OF
TME INDUSTRIAL ARgA SPECIFIC PLAN). Property owners adjacent to this area
have requested the City to examine the feasibility of changing the designation
along 6th Street to residential land use. Staff report by Rick Gomez, City
Planner.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public comments. Addressing Council were:
*Bob Townsend, 9213 Amethyst, stated they did not like this; it will make
the area an island surrounded by industrial.
*Valda Quinn, 9241 Layton, PTA president for Cucamonga Middle School,
addressed the issue of safety for the children.
City Council Minutes
February 16, 1983
Page 9
*Danny Astrobaum, 9260 Layton, expressed concern about the traffic with
young families and children.
Mr. Buquet asked Mr. Gomez to explain what the Industrial Park designation
includes. Mr. Gomez stated the Industrial Park category allows for low
intensity office type uses and small industrial office type of uses. This
would allow office, professional, and very light industrial manufacturing.
Also uses which are accessory uses to those types of office related uses would
be allowed.
*Dave Walker, 9279 Layton, expressed concern about the apathy by the
Planning Department to their concerns.
*Bill Fillkill, 9259 Layton, asked why does this keep coming back to
industrial since the original plan shows residential?
Mayor MikeIs asked if any request had come in from the property owners. Mr.
Gomez stated that Lusk and Marlborough wanted to be in "light industrial"
area, but the plan shows industrial park.
*Gerry Koski, stated they have never been opposed to some type of
commercial. He presented a transparency showing an industrial park north
of Fourth Street and along Archibald with s~e medium high to low medium
densities toward 6th Street.
Others expressing disapproval with the Industriai designation were:
*Rita Banks, owner of homes at 9288 Layton a~d 9595 Mettle.
*Greg Roundtree, 9566 Deerbrook
*Mark Knowles, 95~8 Deerbrook
*Shay Stewart, 9195 Amethyst
*Jan McMahn, 7802 Archibald
*Sonya Davis, 9795 Deerbrook
*Carla Florence Neilson, 9580 Meadows
There being no further comments from the public, Mayor MikeIs closed the
public portion of the meeting.
Mr. Frost stated he leaned toward a modification as shown on Page 92 of the
Agenda Packet.
Mr. Schlosser stated the airport will grow and the Industrial parks are a
viable thing. He felt putting more homes in that area with a few hundred more
children would only complicate the problem.
Mr. Buquet stated he didn't feel putting in condominiums or apartments in that
area would be a good idea either.
Mr. Dahl stated his position has always been, even while he was a Planning
Commissioner, that not all of the 120 acres, which allows for different types
of usage, should be light industrial. The area along 6th Street should be
buffered with low medium type housing. Light industrial behind the low medium
would be compatible with the housing. The area along 4th Street should be
commercial. He favored the concept in Alternative 2 on page 91 with the
exception that the center area should be designated light industrial.
Mayor MikeIs stated the request before Council was to consider a general plan
amendment for Subarea 16.

Motion: Moved by Dahl to re-review this toward the adoption of a designation
as he suggested on Alternative 2 and to direct staff to commense a review with
the idea of changes as reflected in Alternative 2. Motion died for lack of a
second.
Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Dahl to increase the middle area
designation of low medium to about halfway into the medium high designation on
Alternative Two on page 91 of the Agenda, eliminate the commercial, refer the
matter to the Planning Commission for their consideration, and request a
general plan amendment.
Discussion followed regarding this motion.

the issue. The motion passed to close debate by the following vote:
AYES: Buquet, Schlosser, Mikels
