U, - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING DIVISION J U L 2 6 1994 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: July 27, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Bullet, City Planner BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner SUBJECT: VA~CE 94-04 - CAMPOS - A request to reduce the required number of parking spaces, to reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 0 feet, and to reduce the required side yard landscape setback from 5 feet to 0 feet in conjunction with the development of 5 parcels in the Specialty Commercial Desi~ation (Subarea 3) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues, APN: 208-153-08, 09, 10, 11, and 23. (Continued from July 13, 1994). This item was originally presented to the Planning Comission on July 13, 1994. The applicant, however, was not in attendance at the meeting due to illness. The Co~nission continued the item to allow the applicant to attend the meeting. Staff contacted the applicant who indicated that they will be in attendance at tonight's hearing. Respe y submi ted / BB:mlg Attachment: Staff Report Dated July 13, 1994 ITEM A CITY OFRANCHOCUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: JUly 13, 1994 ~. TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner SUBJECT: VAR/ANCE 94-04 - CAMPOS - A request to reduce the required number of parking spaces, to reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 0 feet, and to reduce the required side yard landscape setback from 5 feet to 0 feet in conjunction with the development of 5 parcels in the Specialty Commercial Designation (Subarea 3) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues, APN: 208-153-08, 09, 10, 11, and 23. pROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North Single family residential; Specialty Con~mercial (FOOthill Boulevard Specific Plan, Subarea 3) South Fast fOOd restaurant; Specialty Commercial (Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, Subarea 3) East Abandoned gas station; Specialty Commercial (FOOthill Boulevard Specific Plan, Subarea. 3) West Single family residential; Specialty Comercial (FOOthill Boulevard Specific Plan, Subarea 3) B. Site Characteristics: The site is presently developed with four single family residences and a care. None of the structures are presently occupied. C- Parking Calculations: Number of Number of Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces of Use FOOtaye Ratio Required Provided Cafe 1,367 1 space/ 14 11 100 sq. ft. Commercial 4,869 1 space/ 19 18 250 sq. ft. TOT~uL 33 29 ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant has submitted a Development Review application requesting the conversion of four single family residences to commercial uses, the demolition of an existing care, and the construction of a new · PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 13, 1994 Page 2 cafe. With the processing of the application, staff has identified three areas of the proposed plans that do not meet the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and Development Code requirements. These items are: 1. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) requires that a commercial development maintain a 15-foot rear yard landscape setback from existing or proposed residential uses. The proposal shows 0-foot setback because the parking and drive aisles will extend to the rear property line. 2. The FBSP requires a 5-foot side yard landscape setback be maintained. The applicant is proposing 0-foot setback because the drive aisle will extend to the property line. 3. The Development Code requires 33 parking spaces be provided to meet the demands of the commercial uses. The applicant is proposing only 29 spaces. Staff, however, is recommending a 75-foot stacking distance from FOOthill Boulevard which will eliminate an additional 4 parking stalls, leaving 25 stalls for the development. In reviewing the site, staff has expressed concerns about unique site constraints regarding access to not only this site but the entire block. Based on the current driveway policy, only one access point (drive approach) will be permitted along Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues. The ultimate plan for the block would require the drive approach to be located in line with House No. 3 (see Exhibit "C"). Staff has met with Caltrans to review this preliminary drive location and has received favorable comments. Because of the potentially historic nature of the homes and the desire to retain them, staff has agreed to a drive approach location between the cafe and House No. 1. Because only one drive approach will be allowed to Foothill Boulevard for the entire block, access to the other properties in the block will be obtained from the rear of the properties. A drive aisle will be required extending from the alley west of Archibald Avenue to Flusman Avenue (see Exhibit "D"). This will allow the properties to develop or redevelop while maintaining access to the public streets. The City will require offers of dedication from the property owners as development occurs to ensure the access is available. This being the first development/redevelopment proposal, there have been no previous offers of dedication 9btained for the block. As a result, the access to the parcels and to Foothill Boulevard must be contained entirely On the subject site. B. Landscape Setback (north property line): with ~he properties to the north being residential units, the FBSP requires a 15-foot landscape setback be maintained. The project could be designed to meet this requirement. However, that would mean the elimination of all parking spaces for the project. Additionally, placing the drive aisle 15 feet from the property line would result in significant reconstruction of the drive aisle at such time as the northerly properties develop and the drive aisle is relocated to straddle the property lines as ultimately planned for the block. pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 13, 1994 Page 3 Even though the entire block is designated for con~nercial use, the requirement to provide a 15-foot landscape setback was intended to provide a buffer from proposed commercial uses and existing residential dwellings. In this case, the residences to the north of the site are located at the northern portion of their respective parce is, adjacent to Estacia Court · Five of the six lots abutting the site have detached garages at the southern portion of their lots. With the closest residence approximately 35 feet from the rear property line and garages separating the residences from the subject site, staff believes that adequate buffering will be provided between the uses. C. Landscape Setback (east property line): The FBSP also requires a 5-foot side yard landscape setback to be provided. At the east side of the site, the applicant is proposing to extend the drive aisle to the property line. As previously mentioned, the ultimate plan for the block will require the extension of the drive aisle to the alley to the east which serves businesses along Archibald Avenue. The applicant could provide the 5-foot setback and eliminate the Variance request. Staff believes, however, that the pavement should remain in order to reinforce to potential buyers of the site or adjoining sites the fact that the drive aisle will be extended in the future. Additionally, the pavement does provide for an easier turning movement for cars parked in the easterly stall. D. Parkin~ Variance: The applicant is proposing 29 parking stalls for the project · As noted in the parking calculations, 33 parking spaces are required based on the square footage of commercial use proposed. Additionally, staff is recommending the elimination of the four parking stalls proposed on the west side of the cafe to provide greater vehicle stacking area. Because of the traffic volume and speed on FOOthill Boulevard, staff is concerned that vehicles entering or exiting those stalls will result in cars entering the site stacking onto FOOthill Boulevard until the drive aisle is clear. The requirement to provide a 75-foot on-site stacking distance is consistent with other projects located on major arterials. The Specialty Co~m~ercial designation is one of the more restrictive conunercial designations in the FBSP. The designation was intended to provide uses that are more "specialized" as the name would indicate. The commercial uses permitted are generally less intensive than the other commercial designations. As a result, the demand for parking may not be as great. In addition to the type of uses allowed, the site layout is a contributing factor in regulating the types of uses that might be established. The houses proposed for conversion to commercial uses are 958, 1,065, 1,296, and 1,550 square feet in size. The relatively small size of the buildings will provide opportunities for small tenants and will eliminate large tenants from considering the site. Also, being designed as residences, the conversion of the houses to commercial uses will provide retail space that is less efficient than spaces designed for commercial uses. If a large tenant did wish to expand or connect the buildings, an application would have to be reviewed. pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 13, 1994 Page 4 FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the Variance request, the Commission must be able to identify facts to support each of the following findings: 1. That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. 2. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply to other properties in the same district. 3. That strict or liteYal interpretation and enforcement of the regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owner of other properties in the same district. 4. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same district. 5. That granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. As outlined in the analysis section, staff believes that there are substantial facts to support each and every finding required to be made by the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance 94-04 through adoption of the attached Resolution. Respectfully submitted, Brad Buller City Planner BB:SM/jfs Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Letter from Applicant Exhibit "B" - Site Utilization Plan Exhibit "C" - Site Plan Exhibit "D" - Access Plan for the Block Resolution of Approval MORA ARCHITECTS PLANNING & ENGINEERING DATE: April 21, 1994 TO: City ofRancho Cucamonga Planning Department PROJECT: 9656 Foothill Boulevard DR93-15 CAMPOS VARIANCE FINDINGS Pursuant a Variance request these findings are respect~ally presented for consideration by the Planning Commission due to the following circumstances: 1. Strict interpretation and enforcement of the parking and front, rear and side setback requirements are difficult to achieve due to the existing size, shape and location of the existing houses which are to be rehabilitated. 2. The existing houses have been determined to have significant historical value to the community. This extraordinary circumstance precludes these buildings from being modified in order to comply with the requirements of parking and yard setbacks. These conditions do not apply to other properties in the same zone. 3. An earlier design scheme presented by the owner called for the demolition of the old houses, before their designation as of historical value. This scheme allowed the owner with maximum economic utilization of the site according to location. It also allowed compliance with applicable parking and yard setback requirements. The need to preserve the houses and replace the old ca_re next door presented a new design challenge in order to accommodate handicapped requirements, minimum number of parking stalls and the necessary widening of Foothill Blvd. 3221 20TH STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94~10 FAX (415) 824'0243 TEL (415) 824-9602 Planning Department DR 93-15 CAMPOS 4/2 l/94 Page Two 4. Given the circumstances, it seems that the granting of this Variance may not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same zone. 5. When the houses are fully rehabilitated and the new cafe built, the entire development will represent a real asset to this important arterial intersection. It is our belief that the health, safety and welfare of the community and the public in general will not be affected by the granting of this Variance. Please note that this development will have its own turn lane for traffic entering from the east-west direction thus allowing additional room for cars parking in front of the cafe and also for cars entering the complex.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING CO~a4ISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 94-04, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FROM 33 TO 25, TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED REAR YARD SETBACK FROM 15 FEET TO 0 FEET, AND TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 5 FEET TO 0 FEET IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIVE PARCELS IN THE SPECIALTY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION (SUBAREA 3) OF THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD BETWEEN ARCHIBALD AND KLUSMAN AVENUES, AND M3%KING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 208-153-08, 09, 10, 11, AND 23. A. Recitals. 1. Aria Campos has filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. 94-04 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 13th day of July and continued to the 27th day of July 1994, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption Of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on July 13, and 27, 1994, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to five parcels located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues with a combined street frontage of 300 feet and lot depth of 130 feet which are presently improved with four single family residences, that are potential local historic landmarks, and an abandoned cafe; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated for commercial uses and is developed with single family residences, the property to the south is designated for commercial uses and is developed with a fast food restaurant, the property to the east is designated for commercial uses and is developed with an abandoned gas station, and the property to the west is designated for commercial uses and is developed with a single family residence; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 27, 1994 Page 2 c. The applicant proposes the demolition Of the existing cafe, the construction of a new cafe, and the conversion of the existing single family residences to commercial or office uses for a total of 6,236 square feet of lease space; and d. The development of the cafe and conversion of the residences is consistent with the specialty Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard specific Plan and the Commercial designation of the General Plan; and e. Access to Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues will be limited to one drive approach consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and f. The ultimate plan to provide access to all sites within the block bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Archibald Avenue, Klusman Avenue, and Estacia Court, will require a 26-foot offer of dedication to be obtained equally from the properties fronting Foothill Boulevard and the properties fronting Bstacia Court (13 feet from each property). The Offer Of dedication will extend from the west side of the parcels fronting Archibald Avenue to Klusman Avenue; and g. Because only the five parcels fronting Foothill Boulevard are being developed in the block at this time, a 24-foot drive aisle must be provided entirely on the site. Upon development of other parcels in the block, the drive aisle may be shifted to the north to straddle the property lines; and h. The property to the north is designated as Specialty Commercial. However, because the properties to the north are existing residential uses, the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan requires a 15-foot landscape setback be provided; and i. Because of the limited access to Foothill Boulevard for the block and drive aisle requirement at the rear of the site, the requirement for a 15-foot landscape setback would result in the elimination of all parking spaces for the project; and J. The residences north of the subject site are located at the northern portion of their respective lots separated fro~ the proposed commercial uses by detached garages, providing a buffer between the uses; and k. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan requires a 5-foot side yard setback be provided; however, the drive aisle will ultimately be extended over the parcel to the east in the future to allow access to Foothill Boulevard; and 1. In the formulation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, the City recognized the potential historic and cultural value of the residences provided within the block. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan encourages the retention of historic and cultural resources where possible; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 27, 1994 Page 3 m. The city has identified the area bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Archibald Avenue, Klusman Avenue, and Estacia Court as a potential historic overlay district in order to retain the historic and cultural significance of the area; and n. the application as proposed requires 33 parking spaces; whereas, the site plans indicate 29 spaces are being provided. Staff has recommended the elimination of 5 spaces to provide adequate vehicle stacking for cars entering or exiting from Foothill Boulevard, a major arterial street with current traffic volume of over 35,000 daily two-way trips and projected traffic volume of over 40,000 daily two-way trips. Therefore, the total number of parking spaces available for the proposed development would be 25 spaces; and o. The applicant contemplates conversion of several small residences to commercial/office uses. The relatively small size of these structures will be suitable for specialty commercial or small office users which have lower parking demand than the typical shopping center or office complex. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined that the proposed project does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The project has been determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). The Planning Commission, having final approval Over this project, has reviewed and considered this exemption prior to the approval of this project. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS July 27, 1994 page 4 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption Of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 27TH DAY OF JULY 1994. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: E. David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Bullet, Secretary I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the city of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting Of the Planning Commission held on the 27th day of July 1994, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OFRANCHOCUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: July 27, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Con~nission FROM: Brad Bullet, City Planner BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner \ SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-46 - FLORES - A request to construct a gas station and ntini-mart on a 0.63 acre parcel of land in the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue - APN: 208-192-06.

ITEM B pLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-46 - FLORES July 27, ~994 Page 2 ANALYSIS: A. Background: On January 18, ~989, the City Council approved plans, on appeal, for a 4,416 square foot retail center with a gas station. The retail building was situated at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue with a breezeway extending from the street corner back into the site. The pump island canopy was located on the east side of the site adjacent to Red Hill Liquor. The building was designed with board- and-batten siding, river rock columns, exposed rafter tails, and a clay tile roof. In conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit, the Council approved a Variance request to reduce the parking setback along Foothill Boulevard from %0 feet to 40 feet, along Vineyard Avenue from 50 feet to 43 feet, and along the rear property line from 15 feet to 14 feet. On March 24, 1993, the Planning Commission considered a Pre-Application request submitted by the applicant for a new gas station layout. The Co~m%ission felt that the originally approved architecture (board-and- batten) was more appropriate than the Spanish style proposed. The Commission also felt the on-site circulation was poor and that insufficient opportunities were available for pedestrian connections into the site. A complete copy of the workshop minutes are attached as Exhibit B. General: The applicant is now proposing a gas station and 2,017 square foot mini-market on the site. The mini-market is located at the setback line as preferred within the activity center. The building is designed with bard-and-batten siding on the east and south wings with stucco on the center tower element. Exposed rafter tails are used at the saves. Raised river rock planters are provided along the street elevations, adjacent to the building and parking areas. A tile roof is proposed for the structure. The pump island is located in the central portion of the site and is aligned diagonally across the site in a northwest to southeast direction. The canopy is 88 feet long and 20 feet, 6 inches tall and is designed with a mansard tile roof and rock support columns. Twelve dispensing stations will be provided under the canopy. C. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the application on three occasions, the most recent meeting being June 14, 1994. At that meeting, the Committee (Melcher, McNiel, Coleman) reco~nended approval of the application subject to the following conditions: 1. The street trees along Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue should be planted at 30 feet on center consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. 2. The sidewalk along Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue should extend to the raised planters- PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-46 - FLORES July 27, 1994 Page 3 3. Decorative light fixtures, benches, potted plants, and trash receptacles should be provided consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. 4. The canopy fascia lighting should be eliminated. 5. Details of the project should be worked out with staff prior to building permit issuance- 6. A comprehensive sign program should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to building permit issuance. 7. The parallel parking stall on the west side of the site should be modified to expand the landscape area on the south end and replace the landscaping on the north end with a painted stripe. 8. At the bus stop along Foothill Boulevard, the hardscape should extend to the curb. D. Variance: AS mentioned in the Background section, the previous approval for this site included variances allowing reduced setbacks for the parking along Foothill Boulevard, Vineyard Avenue, and the rear property line. With this application, the applicant has eliminated the need for the variances along Vineyard Avenue and the rear property line - the setbacks are being met. The applicant is maintaining the same setback along Foothill Boulevard that was allowed with the approved variance (a 40-foot parking setback). E. Environmental Assessment: Staff has completed the Initial Study, Part II, and determined that the application will not have a significant impact on the environment or surrounding properties · Therefore, with the Co~ission's concurrence, a Negative Declaration can be issued for the project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recomends that the Planning Comission approve Conditional Use Permit 93-46 through adoption of the attached Resolution and issuance of a Negative Declaration for the project.

Mr. Bullet suggested that the project might be phased with four gas pumps being installed initially and the two additional pumps installed when Red Mill Liquor is demolished. Commissioner Tolstoy believed the proposed concept does not meet the intent of the activity center envisioned for Foothill Boulevard. He noted the previously approved concept provided opportunities for pedestrian activity. Me felt the on-site circulation is poor for cars that may desire access to the future pad or In-N-Out from Vineyard Avenue. Me stated that a "lube-n-tune" facility would not be appropriate on the future pad--no bays should face Foothill Boulevard. Me also commented the future pad seems to be under- parked. He remarked that any design for the site should be sensitive to the condominiums to the south. Me stated he would consider limiting the hours of operation on the gas station. Commissioner Melcher commented that the size of the site would require a single, bold architectural statement to carry off the activity center concept and the presented plan does not achieve this goal. He felt the previously approved plans provided more appropriate architecture. Me thought the architecture should blend with the activity center concept and the proposed style is over-worked. He felt the on-site circulation is poor. Commissioner Chitiea stated that she was on the original Design Review Committee that reviewed the previous submittal and much time and effort wee devoted to arrive at an activity center concept that worked. she did not feel the plan presented .meets this intent. She thought the site is over-built. She suggested the applicant consider using both pads for the gas station. She observed the activity center has no pedestrian access from Foothill Boulevard. She felt the architectural elements do not tie in with the activity center concept. Commissioner Vallette agreed with the Other Co~unissioners. She felt the previous plans articulated the activity center much more clearly than the new proposal. She thought thought there are many circulation problems with the plan. She did, however, believe that this was a good location for a gas station if the design could be revised to address the Commiseion's concerns. Chairman McNiel felt that the use is overwhelming the site. He suggested the applicant consider combining the two pads rather than trying to develop two small pads. He remarked the design should encourage pedestrian access from Foothill Boulevard. He stated he could not support the architecture proposed and the previous plan was more acceptable for the activity center. Me summarized the other comments of the Commission by stating that they felt the site was a good location for a gas station if the design issues are resolved. He suggested one key to the design may be reducing the number of gas pumps. Commission Melcher observed that when the pumps are at maximum use, the parking spaces would be obstructed. commissioner Chitlea agreed. Commissioner Melcher conoluded by stating that Phase 2 does not work--the site is too small bo cut it up even smaller. Mr. Bullet indicated that he believed he had clear direction from the Commission. He noted that staff could meet with the applicant to discuss the issues in more detail and review design solutions and more attention should be paid to the activity center corner. F. C.

CLARE OF ASSISI EPISCOPAL CHURCH - A request to construct a temporary multi-purpose building of approximately 3,840 square feet on approximately 5 acres in the Low Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located at the southeast corner of East and Highland Avenues - APN: 227-071-77. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Action Requested by Applicant: Approval of a conceptual Master Plan and a temporary multi-purpose building and issuance of a Negative Declaration. B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North Highland Avenue and Route 30 Freeway Corridor; Very Low Residential (1-2 dwelling units per acre) South - Single family residential (Tract 13945); Low Density Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) East - Single family residential (Tract 13945); Low Density Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West - East Avenue and single family residential; Very Low Density Residential (1-2 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Residential North - Foothill Freeway Corridor; Very Low Residential South - Low Residential East - Low Residential West - Very Low Residential D. Site Characteristics: The 5-acre site is currently the location of the Ernst Mueller Home which was designated a Local Landmark by the Historic Preservation Commission on March 9, 1994, and by the City Council on June 1, 1994. The site is relatively flat and the home sits within a grove of citrus trees. Ninety year old Magnolia trees delineate the site along East Avenue. Eucalyptus windrows are located along the south property boundary and along Nighland Avenue to the north. Three out buildings are also located on the site.

General: St- Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church is proposing to construct a 3,840 square foot modular building on the 5-acre site. The building has 138 fixed seats in the main sanctuary, one classroom, and two offices. The temporary building will be used for church services on Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. as well as other functions throughout the week. The existing home will be utilized for office space, meetings, and counseling sessions. In addition to the modular building, the church is seeking approval of a conceptual Master Plan for the overall development of the site. The Master Plan includes two permanent buildings and an expanded parking lot with access to Whitestone Place. The Master Plan also includes the creation of one single family lot which will be used as a possible future home for the Vicar. With the ultimate development of the church site, the modular building will be phased out. Temporary modular structures are typically approved for an initial period of two years. The approval may be extended each year thereafter, upon written request, for up to five years. In addition to approval of this Conditional Use Permit, a Landmark Alteration Permit will be required, since the site on which the Mueller house is located is being altered. The house, however, is not being modified in any way. Review of the Landmark Alteration Permit has been scheduled for the August 10, 1994, Historic Preservation Comission meeting. B. Design Review Comittee: The Design Review Comittee (McNiel, Melcher, Coleman) reviewed the project on June 14, 1994, and recomended approval with the following conditions: 1. The grove effect should be maintained and regenerated on the site. Some type of landscaping should be located between East Avenue and the interim parking lot. pLANNING COmmISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-07 - ST. CLARE OF ASSISI EPISCOPAL CHURCH July 27, 1994 Page 3 2. Dense screen planting should be provided along the south project boundary adjacent to the gravel parking lot in order to sEreen the parking lot and car headlights from existing single family houses to the south. 3. The Magnolia grandiflora trees along East Avenue have been determined to be historic. If trees are damaged during any required widening of East Avenue, they shall be replaced on a one-for-one basis with the largest grown nursery stock available. The location of the Magnolias should be included on the final landscape plan which will be reviewed and approved by the City Planner. 4. Gates between the parking area and the emergency secondary access (northerly gravel drive) should be of decorative wrought iron. 5. The Master Plan should be revised to show hardscape and planter areas and to illustrate how pedestrian access between buildings will be accommodated. The layout and circulation for the Master Plan is acceptable. The building footprints noted are conceptual only. 6. The emergency secondary access (northerly gravel drive) along East Avenue is disruptive to the historical context of the site and should be deleted if acceptable to the Foothill Fire District (see Exhibit "C"). C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on June 15, 1994, and approved it subject to the conditions noted in the Resolution of Approval. The Foothill Fire District indicated that the secondary access could be deleted if an approved turn-around is provided. D. Grading Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the project on June 14, 1994, and recommended approval. Although a portion of the citrus grove will be removed, said removal is exempt under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. E. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed by the applicant. Staff has completed Part II of the Environmental Checklist and has found no significant impacts on the environment as a result of this project. A detailed analysis of the potential impact of the proposed Route 30 Freeway upon the project is addressed in the Route 30 Environmental Impact Report on file in the Planning Division. If the Planning Commission concurs with these findings, then issuance of a Negative Declaration would be appropriate. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or cause significant adverse environmental impacts. In addition, the proposed use and site plan, together with the recommended conditions of approval, are in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Development Code and City standards.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Re: APN: 207-571-75 Gentlemen: I am writing in concern of the request to issue an entertainment permit to the Final Score restaurant and bar. We live in the Rancho Villas condominiums just to the south of the bar. Our rear bedroom windows look out onto the bar's property. My neighbors to the east and west also have their rear bedroom windows facing the bar. Since the rear bedrooms are the smaller bedrooms, they are most often occupied by children. We have lived in this condominium for about five years. During that time we have been awakened at two a.m. by the sound of motorcycles (most often choppers), fights and foul language, and in one instance gunfire. During that incident, a bullet penetrated my neighbor's window and wedged in the bedroom wall. There were young children sleeping in the bedroom. I am aware that the current owners of the Final Score bar have made changes to discourage the biker crowd, but I am fearful that if the entertainment permit to allow live bands, disc jockey, and dancing is approved, not only will the noise of the music be annoying, but it would lead to parking lot incidences that would not only disturb the young residents who live nearby, but would corrupt their morals and threaten their safety. I am therefore expressing my opposition to approval of the above referenced request and encourage the members of the planning commision to do the same.

You should know the Final Score recently participated in the "Taste of the Inland Empire" on May l, 1994 in Ontario. I tell you this due to the fact that during this event the Final Score donated the proceeds from the sales of their concessions that day to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Inland Empire Back-A-Youth program in Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upland. Boys & Girls Clubs of the Inland Empire serves over 1,300 youth club members 5- 18 years of age in the Inland Valley Communities. In addition the Final Score will be contributing product (Gourmet Pizzas and Pasta to the forthcoming "Evening at the Plaza" special event fund raiser to be held at the Montelair Plaza on August 21, 1994. All proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of the Inland Empire, Chaffey College Foundation, Wignail Museum and Gallery, and Montelair Foundation for History and Art. Gary Rausa owner of Final Score has demonstrated that youth and youth programs and services in the Inland Valley; specifically Rancho Cucamonga should and must be a "Top Priority!

B. Surrounding Land Use: West of the site is vacant and zoned for commercial uses. North of the site is the Sycamore Inn and zoned for commercial uses. South of the site is a railroad track which is no longer in use. Beyond the south side of the tracks are townhouses and single family homes. C. Proposed Entertainment: The applicant proposes to offer entertainment along with the serving of food and drinks. The proposed entertainment consists of live bands, disc jockeys, and dancing. It will be offered four nights a week from Thursday through Sunday, between the hours of 8 p.m. and 12 midnight. The area for dancing is 110 square feet. According to the applicant, rhythm and blues, jazz, and rock and roll are the types of music being offered. D.

General: According to the FOothill Boulevard Specific Plan, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for the operation of a bar. Final Score (formerly The Cub) does not have a CUP because the business was established prior to the City's incorporation and the adoption of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. Since the applicant would like to expand the building and add a patio area for outdoor seating, besides offering entertainment, he has submitted a Conditional Use permit as well. Because the application has been deemed incomplete, the applicant has requested that the Entertainment Permit be forwarded to the Con~nission for review first. He stated that he intends to pursue the CUP and will submit revised d~velopment plans in the near future. B. Compatibilit~ Of Use: In reviewing this application, the primary issue identified by staff is the compatibility of the proposed entertainment with the surrounding land uses. South of the site, beyond the abandoned railroad line, is all residential uses including single family and townhouses. The proposed entertainment could negatively impact these residents. Loud music and noise from within the building and loitering activities in the parking lot, in combination with the likely late evening and early morning hours of a night club business, will impact these residents. Possible mitigations to the impacts noted above include: improving the sound attenuation of the building, adding inside and outside security personnel, and limiting the hours of operation. The effectiveness of these mitigations is largely dependent on the property and business management. Building improvements for additional sound attenuation could be negated by an open door or window. The City's Code Enforcement personnel could monitor this to ensure compliance and failure to comply would be cause for revocation of the entertainment permit. C. Neighborhood Concerns: In May of 1993, the City received a letter collectively signed by several homeowners of the townhouse complex complaining abut the loud music coming from the Final Score on the weekends. In addition, the City continued to receive complaints whenever entertainment was conducted. AS a result of Code Enforcement action, the owner of the Final Score agreed to cease offering entertainment until an Entertainment Permit is approved by the City. Since July of 1993, neither the City nor the Police Department have received any more complaints. After the mailing of the public hearing notices for the application, staff received several letters, as well as a petition from some of the residents at the southerly townhouse complex, objecting to the Entertainment Permit. Concerns raised relate to their experience with the previous entertainment including: loud music, loud noises, and other disturbances from activities in the parking lot in the late evening hours (see attached letters and petition, Exhibit "D"). They felt that the granting of the Entertainment Permit would result in having more of the same nuisance problems. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EP 93-03 - FINAL SCORE July 27, 1994 Page 3 D. Public Safety Issues: Another concern with the entertainment use is the potential for an increase in the need for police and fire resources. The Fire Department stated that they have not responded to any calls for service at the business. Based on the floor plan, the Fire Department established the maximum number of occupants allowed in the bar, restaurant, and dance area to be 44 and the area designed for pool tables to be 12. If the number of occupants exceeds the above maximum, then the applicant shall obtain a separate permit and approval from the Fire Department. Records from the Police Department indicate that they have responded a total of four times to this location from January of this year to the present. The Police reports filed range from battery to robbery to public drunkenness. During this period of time, the Final Score did not have live entertainment. E. Parking and Other Site Improvements: Based on the floor area of the Final Score and the number of bays for the auto repair shop, the site exceeds the minimum number of required parking spaces (see Parking Calculations section of this report). However, a field inspection of the site indicated that the parking lot is in need of maintenance, such as restriping the parking spaces, a new slurry seal coat, parking lot lights for safety and security, etc. Staff also found two trash bins within the parking lot which are unscreened. These recommended improvements have been placed as conditions of approval in the attached Resolution. F. Conclusion and Mitigation Measures: Based On the above analysis, staff believes that there are mitigation measures that could minimize and alleviate the potential nuisance problems to an acceptable level. These mitigation measures are listed as conditions of approval in the attached Resolution. To name a few, some of the mitigation measures are: limiting the hours of entertainment to 12 midnight for Thursday through Saturday; providing interior sound attenuation; prohibiting patrons from parking in spaces closest to the residences during the evening hours; providing security personnel in the parking lot for nights that they have entertainment; and establishing a maximum occupancy of 44 persons in the restaurant, bar, and dancing areas and 12 persons for the pool table area. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Co~nission must make all of the following findings in order to approve this application: A. That the conduct of the establishment or the granting of the application would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare. B. That the premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an illegal, improper, or disorderly manner. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EP 93-03 - FINAL SCORE July 27, 1994 Page 4 C. That the applicant, or any person associated with him as principal or partner or in a position or capacity involving partial or total control over the conduct of the business for which such permit is sought to be issued, has not been convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction of any offense involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of any obscene show of any kind or of a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude or has not had any approval, permit, or license issued in conjunction with the sale of alcohol or the provisions of entertainment revoked within the preceding five years. D. That the granting of the application would not create a public nuisance. E. That the normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the peace and quiet of any surrounding residential neighborhood. F. That the applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement of material fact in the required application. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to the adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff reco~nends that the Planning Co~nission conduct a hearing to receive public testimony. If the Co~nission concurs with staff's analysis and findings, including the mitigation measures, then approval Entertainment Permit 93-03 through adoption of the attached Resolution would be in order.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 July 18, 1994 This letter is in follow up to my telephone conversation with Nancy Fong on this date reporting a harassment telephone call made to me from Garry Rausa, an owner of the Final Score bar located at 8411 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga, CA. As one of the many concerned homeowners of Rancho Villas located to the south of this bar, I had recently distributed, to the home owners in Rancho Villas, a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing dated July 6, 1994 from the Planning Commission as I was told that it had only been mailed to residents living within 300 feet of the Final Score. My neighbors living on Cedarwood Lane, my husband, and I felt it was our duty to alert the other residents of our complex of the fact that the Final Score was applying for an Entertainment Permit 93-03. We had been greatly disturbed last year when this bar had live entertainment, without a permit, and we did not want to have to put up with this nuisance again. I, therefore, with the approval of Nancy Fong and the agreement of my neighbors distributed a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing along with a letter of explanation from myself. As I left these letters with the homeowners in our complex I also asked them to sign a petition against the owners of the Final Score being grant- ed an Entertainment Permit. If no one was home I taped these two letters to the windows at their entrances. Sunday, July 18, 1994, approximately 3:15 p.m. I received a phone call from Garry Rausa of Final Score. He was very intimidating with his tone of voice, four letter word language, and his message to me. He told me that a Rancho Villas homeowner, who is a cus- tomer of the bar, gave him the letter I had left on his property. He told me that I had no business leaving such a letter telling people that he has a bad place, if I could leave a letter at the doors, then so could he and he just might do that. He went on and on without my being able to get hardly a word in. He said that he has a lawyer and I should get my lawyer and we could get together and fight it out. He said he is going to show up at the public hearing with 200 patrons of his bar to stand up for him and that I had better watch out. Believe me by the time I could get through to tell him that I did not care to listen to him and tell him I was hanging up, I was extremely nervous and upset. Our bedroom faces the rear of the Final Score and I envisioned having rocks thrown at our house during the night as Garry Rausa was that intimitating to me. I am waiting for the police to come to my home today to make out a report on this harassment matter. shirley ovar 8438 Cedarwood Lane Rancho Cucamonga, CA g1730 ~'~ Copies Letter to homeowners from Shirley Kovar, July 13, 1994.

That is, unless they agree to build a new soundproof structure and agree to keep the windows and doors closed when they have loud music. I doubt that they would agree to such an investment, as they have so far demonstrated no concern for the surrounding community. In fact, Gary Rausa and his employees have sported an attitude ranging from "unwilling to ' cooperate" to "utterly rude". I live directly behind his bar, within 150 feet by my estimation, and the kinds of disturbances I have experienced in the past during live band performances are as follows: loud thumping music, noisy patrons talking and yelling, noisy patrons brawling; helicopters overhead, thundering motorcycles staring and rewing up, thundering motorcycles racing off up and down Route 66, bottles breaking while being dumped into dumpster in back of the bar, and bottles breaking while being thrown, presumably, by patrons. Th'is went on routinely between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., mostly on weekends. I have personally called the bar many times, asking them to please keep the volume down so I could get to sleep, with no results. I truly believe they could care less if I slept. That's when I began calling the Sherrif's Department. They at least had a sympathetic ear, although they got little more cooperation from the bar than I did. I feel like this is all a waste of taxpayers' money, since this business has operated with so little concern for its neighbors, has cooperated with the Police only to the minimumextent required. And they did this when they didn't even have a license for a live band! Let's face the fact that these people are lawbreakers and, in my opinion, shouldn't even have a business license, much less a license to operate a live band. Their kind of activity may have been appropriate decades ago when there were few inhabitants in the Bear Gulch area. But today they are surrounded by people who want to sleep at night; the point being that they don't Seem to care. I feel certain that if you give them this license, they will be depriving all of us of our.sleep, and we, in turn, will be calling the Police out here eve/y weekend. Sincerely, . . -' Helen M.

We strongly urge you not to grant an entertainment permit to the above referenced establishment. Loud music, bar fights and parrying in the parking lot will undoubtably disrupt our peaceful complex. If this permit is granted, it will also lower our property values considerably. Please vote NO on July 27! Sincerely .~ t ~ j ,~ :,~, Diane and Timothy Athert2n PLANN2NG Plann&n~ D~v~s~on jUL I 1994 City Of Rancho Cucamonga o. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 9~729 ~uZy ~5, 1994 Thank you for your Notice of Public Hearing concerning the request for an Entertainment Permit 93-03 by the establishment known as the Final Score, 8411 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga. We live almost directly behind the Final Score and have exper- ienced what has occurred with live entertainment there last year. For many reasons we object to this bar having a permit for live entertainment and dancing, etc. Vibrations from the live music seemed to have just shaken our walls. The volamn of the music was in excess to the point of disturbing our sleep. Having live entertainment seems to draw a "rough" type of patron. There have been fights in the parking lot and on top of the railroad tracks. Loud talking and yelling as patrons are leaving the bar. Persons have been seen on top of the raised railroad tracks smoking what appeared to be a "joint", and then return to the bar. Tracks lay between the bar and a row of homeowners. The noise of motorcycles being revved up is very disturbing. Even the noise of the empty liquor bottles being dumped into the dumpster located at the rear of the bar's property (close to our home) can be very disturbing and irritating. All these complaints have the potential for increasing with addi- tional patrons being drawn to the bar because of live entertainment. The disturbances mentioned accelerate as the closing hour for the bar approaches, being the early morning hours when we are trying to sleep. The fact that last year the Final Score did have live entertainment WITHOUT A PERMIT, we feel, should be held against them. The owners do not seem to have good characters. The persons operating this bar are not very considerate of their neighbors. They had been called with complaints of the recorded music being too loud and were asked to turn the volumn down and close the back door to the bar. Their responses were always very rude and sometimes the music then would be turned up even louder. l = E g t D /I Planning Division City Of Rancho Cucamonga July 15, 1994 One night last year Gary Rausa was on top of the railroad tracks and saw us in Our back yard. He asked if the volumn of live music was too loud. We replied that it was and he said that he would take care of it, but it instead got even louder. We do not know if Final Score has a permit, or needs one, for what is going on there now. We are disturbed now by afternoon affairs. Beginning this past Easter Sunday, and several week ends since, there have been some sort of activities being held outside to the east of their building. From what we heard it seemed to be contests with games and prizes being awarded. On driving by on Foothill Blvd. we could see that drinks and food were being served outside. We thought we would keep an eye on future activities of this sort and see what happened before complaining to the City. We sincerely hope that you will HEAR THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE and deny the Final Score's request for an Entertainment Permit 93-03 or any other permit for entertainment, not just because the bar is a nuisance in so many ways to its neighbors in Rancho Villas, our complex, but also due to the fact that our property value would be depreciated with a live entertainment establish- ment so close to our homes. This request by the Final Score should be denied in the best interest of the homeowners, community and the City.

David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Bullet, Secretary I, Brad Bullet, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the city of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held On the 27th day of July 1994, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCA~IONGA ~ STAFF REPORT DATE: July 27, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission . FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Consideration of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance. ABSTRACT: This report presents an ordinance for your consideration based upon the discussion at the workshop on June 22, 1994. ANALYSIS: At the June 22 workshop, the Comission reached a consensus on the proposed changes to the sign regulations for shopping centers (see Exhibit "A")- The workshop discussion included representatives from various shopping centers within the co~mlunity. Staff was directed to return with an ordinance for the Planning Commission to review. If approved, the ordinance will be sent to the City Council for final adoption. A. Monument SiFns: Three options were presented to the Commission. The majority of the Commission indicated a preference for allowing up to two monument signs per street frontage as opposed to allowing larger monument signs. The Commission decided that either doubling the number of monument signs to two per street frontage or doubling the size to 48 square feet was acceptable. The "either/or" approach recognizes the additional signage needs as projects increase in size, retains flexibility for the center owner, and is consistent with the City's goal to foster attractive sign solutions. In addition, the Commission agreed that the larger monument signs would be inappropriate for smaller commercial centers which generally do not have major anchor stores and have fewer tenants. Finally, the CoMmission, mindful of the City Council's original charge to the Comission to address the needs of small businesses, indicated that sufficient area must be reserved on monument signs for tenants other than the major anchors. Staff believes that the length of street frontage is the most practical criteria for allowing larger monument signs. A survey was conducted of all shopping centers, except for regional centers, within the City of Rancho Cucamonga (see Exhibit "D"). In the '33 centers surveyed, the average length of street frontage was 573 feet. All neighborhood shopping centers have one or more street frontages exceeding 500 feet. Only the strip coMmercial centers have less than 500 feet of frontage. The strip centers have fewer tenants and generally do not have a major anchor store. Therefore, staff would recoMmend that 48 square foot monument signs be allowed for centers with at least 500 feet of street frontage. ITEM G pLaNNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SOA 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUC~MONGA July 27, 1994 Page 2 For your information, staff has also compiled the monument sign requlation survey data provided by Lewis Homes Management Corporation and Diversified Properties Company (see Exhibit "C"). The data indicates that sign regulations vary considerably from city to city. Monument sign height varied from 6 feet to 45 feet. The maximum sign area ranged from 24 square feet up to 150 square feet in the cities surveyed. B. Temporary Signs: The Commission approved the proposed changes to the regulations concerning the use of temporary signs as outlined in the June 22, 1994, staff report (see Exhibit "B"). P~ECOMMENDATION: St~ff recommends that the Commission recommend approval to the City Council through adoption of the attached Resolution.

Dempsey oppceed the reco~unendation that major anchors be limited to 50 percent of the sign area. She preferred Options 1 and 2 with an either/or possibility. Commissioner McNiel felt that Option 2 should not be allowed for all shopping centers. He felt that smaller centers do not need a 48 square foot sign. He asked that criteria be developed for when Option 2 can be used. Commissioner Tolstoy preferred Option 1, but said he would entertain Option 2 if criteria were developed as suggested by Commissioner McNiel. Chairman Barker asked the property owner representatives to submit reasonable criteria for application of Option 2. In addition, he asked that the criteria address location of monument signs to protect views into the shopping cen}ers. He requested that the proposed 300-foot spacing be reviewed for existing shopping centers to see if it is reasonable. Ms. Dempsey requested that no limit on the percentage of sign area devoted to major anchors be included in the ordinance. She felt that should be determined through review of Uniform sign Programs. She commented that such a limitation would not allow for creativity. Mr. Coleman indicated that the 50 percent limit on majors was intended to preserve adequate sign space for smaller tenants in response to the direction given by City Council. He noted that absent such a limit, majors could use the entire sign area. Commissioner Melcher supported the 50 percent limit on major anchors. Chairman Barker commented that the 50 percent limit seemed to address the needs of the small businesses. Commissioner Melcher suggested that the City require the major anchor tenants to be identified on the sign and let the property owner determine what other tenants should have street signage. Commissioner Tolstoy indicated that staff should prepare language for the Commission to consider. Chairman Barker commented that the 50 percent limit would protect property owners from being pressured by major anchors. He requested that staff investigate alternative language that would allow sufficient area for small tenants. It was the consensus of the Commission that staff provide an ordinance reflecting the Commission's direction for consideration on July 27, 1994. COMMISSION BUSINESS L. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS Planning Commission Minutes -23- June 22, 1994 DRAFT Cy D,SCUSSION PURPOSES ONlY continue discussions with the Ccmmission regarding ether sign issues that would include wall signs. She commented cn ~he importance of signs as a marketing tool for small businesses. Dave Newsome, Lewis Homes Management Corp., indicated that the retail trade has undergone major changes in the last decade. He stated that the trend today is for big box discount retailers in shopping centers. He felt that future shopping centers will feature fewer small tenants. Commissioner McNiel felt that Option 1 was acceptable with the 6-foot height limit. Commissioner Lumpp asked what would prevent tenants from violating the Ordinance under the either/or option. Ms. 'Dempsey stated that Lewis Homes Management Corp. would not automatically demolish existing monument signs in their shopping centers to take advantage of additional sign Opportunities under the proposed Ordinance. She said that if more than two monument signs are allowed per street frontage, then they may construct a second monument to provide more tenants the opportunity for identification at the street. Mr. Newsome commented that property owners could include a copy of the approved Uniform Sign Program for the shopping center in their leases as a means of notifying the tenants of their sign restrictions. Chairman Barker expressed his opposition to 8-foot high monument signs because they are not pedestrian in scale. Commissioner Melther expressed concerns with allowing two monument signs per street. Ms. Dempsey felt that the minimum 300-foOt spacing proposed by staff provides adequate separation between signs. Mr. Bullet indicated that staff simply needs Commission direction in order to prepare an ordinance for consideration. Chairman Barker liked Options 1 and 2 with an either/or possibility. He indicated that he prefers the horizontal sign format. commissioner Melcher felt that Option 1 is the best because it allows more tenants to be identified at the street. He thought an 8-foot height is too much for a 24 square foot monument sign. He said he would support an either/or possibility with Options 1 and 2. Chairman Barker noted that the City requires undulating berm~ to screen parking areas which results in a greater apparent sign height. Commissioner Lumpp stated a preference for Option 1; howeveT, he felt that more signs will not increase business for tenants. Planning commission Minutes -22- June 22, 1994 7C.q DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY There was consensus that the proposed changes were acceptable. Monument Siqns: Mary Rohrer, Diversified Properties Co., stated that the Sign Task Force had discussed the possibility of allowing property owners to choose either Option 1 Or Option 2 presented in the staff report. She felt that property owners need such flexibility to respond to tenant needs and unusual site constraints. Chairman Barker agreed that such flexibility may be needed based upon the layout of the project. Ms. Dempsey indicated that Lewis and Diversified had surveyed Other cities regarding monument sign regulations and determined that, even with the proposed changes, Rancho Cucamonga represents the more conservative approach to ~igns. Ms. Rohrer agreed and listed the following survey results. Montclair 60 sq. ft. (10 ft. high x 6 ft. wide) Ontario 100 sq. ft. (20 ft. high) Upland - one 100 sq. ft. (16 ft. high) or two 60 sq. ft. (8 ft. high) Fontaria 30 sq. ft. (6 ft. high) Or pylon with no limit Fountain valley 50 sq. ft. (8 ft. high) Irvine - 50 sq. ft. (6 ft. high) Mission viejo - 36 sq. ft. (6 ft. high) Costa Mesa - 125 sq. ft. (25 ft. high) Dana Point - 100 sq. ft. (20 ft. high) Commissioner McNiel said the survey cities reflect the trend to have bigger signs. He felt that what other cities do should not be the basis for what Rancho Cucamonga does, unless we want our community to become commonplace. Ms. Dempsey thought that Option 1 should allow 8-foot high signs instead of the proposed maximum of 6 feet. She noted that the City's current sign regulations allow 8-foot high monument signs. Mr. Coleman indicated that the lower height was recommended to discourage 24 square foot monument signs that are 8 feet high and only 3 feet wide, which would appear disproportionate. Ms. Rohrer also felt that Option 1 should be increased to 8 fee~ high in order to allow space for architectural embellishments. Brad Bullet, City Planner, pointed to Exhibit "D-l," which illustrates how a 24 square foot monument sign could be horizontally oriented and still have 2 feet for architectural features. Commissioner Melcher asked if the Sign Task Force discussed wall signs. Ms. Dempsey replied that the Task Force had discussed wall sfgns but focused on signs at the street as directed by City Council. She indicated a desire to Planning Commission Minutes -21- June 22, 1994 DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY Commissioner McNiel supported the concept. He noted than the billlard club adjacent to the theatres in Upland ca~ers to a younger group and sometimes causes problems for theatre patrons. He thought this use would be similar to the club which had recently been approved for the Masi Center. Motion: Moved by Lumpp, seconded by McNiel, to direct to the applicant to apply for a Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan amendment to add Commercial Recreation as a conditional use in the Speciatity Commercial District. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: BARKER, LUMPP, MCNIEL, MELCHER, TOLSTOY NOES: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: NONE -carried The Planning Commission moved to the DeAnza Room for the balance of the meeting. H. SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Consideration of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, presented the staff report, highlighting the work of the Sign Task Force and the various options available to the Commission. Chairman McNiel praised the Sign Task Force's participation and their efforts. He expressed his opinion that every time the Sign Ordinance has been reviewed it has been weakened; however, he felt that most of what the Sign Task Force had discussed was acceptable. Chairman Barker suggested the Commission discuss the items individually and reach consensus before moving on to the next type of signs. Grand Opening Signs: Commissioner Melcher felt such signs should be required to include the opening date for the business. Paula Dempsey, Chamber of Commerce and Lewis Homes Management Corporation, indicated that tenants commonly request a "Coming Soon" banner. There was a general consensus that the proposed changes were acceptable without a specific opening date display requirement. Temporary Advertising Signs: Ms. Dempsey felt the proposed changes were positive because business owners would have greater flexibility. She indicated that the change~ are consistent with what her tenants typically ask for. Planning Commission Minutes -20- June 22, 1994 'D~'qCt. J.S,~,ION ~URPOSES ONLY CITY OF RANCH0 CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: June 22, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Bu[ler, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Consideration of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance. BACKGROUND: On October 20, 1993, the City Council directed staff to work with the Planning Commission and small business owners on temporary sign issues (see Exhibit "A"). This action was taken in response to concerns raised by Mr. Glenn Crown, Owner Of Offroad Chicken, regarding signs within the Alta Loma Plaza shopping center on the southeast corner of 19th and Carnelian Streets. On October 28, 1993, Planning Commissioner Peter Tolstoy, Planning Division staff, and Chamber of Cor~nerce representatives held a meeting with the tenants of the Alta Loma Plaza. The meeting was held at 0ffroad Chicken and attended by Mr. Crown, Mr. Sig Sliwoski (shopping center owner), and two tenants within the center. SIGN TASK FORCE: A Sign Task Force was assembled to address the sign needs of small business owners. This Task Force was comprised of Planning Co~Taissioners Larry McNiel and Peter Tolstoy, Chamber of Comerce representatives, Planning Division staff, and Mr. Sliwoski, as well as representatives of the Lucky's shopping center and Lewis Homes Management Company (owner and manager of several shopping centers in the City). The Sign Task Force has met five times since last October. The Task Force reviewed the City's current Sign Ordinance regulations for tenant identification. A wide variety of permanent and temporary signs are presently allowed (see Exhibit "B"). The Task Force determined that the primary issue is the inability of many small businesses to get their name on the monument sign' along the street. The Sign Ordinance allows one monument sign per street frontage. Each monument sign can list the name of the center plus two tenants or identify three tenants. Therefore, a double-faced monument sign could provide identification for 4-6 tenants in a typical neighborhood shopping center which normally averages 14-20 tenants. MONUMENT SIGNS: Many different options were discussed by the Sign Task Force. Essentially, there are two choices that allow more tenants to have their name on a monument sign: either allow more monument signs or allow bigger monument signs. Options which were reviewed by the Task Force are briefly described below and compared in the attached Exhibit "C." pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SOA 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA June 22, 1994 Page 2 OPTION 1: Double the number of monument signs allowed to two per street. OPTION 2: Double the monument sign area to 48 square feet. OPTION 3: Increase the monument sign area to 80 square feet. These options are illustrated in the attached Exhibit "D." Regardless of which option is selected, the Task Force recommended that the City adopt the following regulations: l) limit major anchor identification to 50 percent of monument sign area to ensure adequate space for other tenants, and 2) adopt an 8-inch minimum letter height guideline to ensure legibility. TEMPORARY SIGNS: The use of temporary signs, such as banners or ground mounted signs, is an important means of advertising for many businesses. In evaluating the current regulations, the Task Force found that the allowable total display periods were, for the most part, adequate. Where they did find room for improvement was in providing flexibility in the use of these time periods by individual businesses and in identifying the need for new businesses to have additional advertising opportunities. It should be noted that no changes are being proposed to the allowable types of signs, sizes, colors, or locations. The following changes were reconunended by the Task Force: A. Temporary Advertisin~ Signs: Each business will continue to have the ability to display a temporary sign at their business location (on the building face or directly in front of their unit). In addition, shopping centers will also be allowed a temporary sign under these same criteria to advertise special events, promotions, or to showcase a new business.

A third option of maintaining the current monument ordinance (24 square foot sign area and 8 feet high) should be added to the proposal. This provides landlords that don't wish to develop a program identifying minor tenants on the project monumentation an option. As you know, I have discussed this with Planning Commission Chairman Dave Barker and he didn't have any problem with this concept. 2. The other two "new" options would be for property owners that want to develop a monument sign program that incorporates minor tenants.
