VICINITY MAP I \ \ I · I S.F. en CITY HALL CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: December 14, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: William J. O'Neil, City Engineer BY: Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 4773 - TRAUTWEIN - A request to modify the condition of approval requiring a 26-foot wide paved access from Etiwanda Avenue to the easterly boundary, for a subdivision of 1.9 acres of land into two parcels located 850 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue on the south side of the future 23rd Street - APN 225-122-82 BACKGROUND: The tentative map was presented before the Planning Commission in January 1979. Through several public hearings the map received final conditions of approval in October 1979, by the Planning Commission. These conditions were appealed by the applicant. The appeal was denied by the City Council in November 1979. The final conditions of approval require a 26-foot wide paved access from Etiwanda Avenue to the eastern property line of the subdivision. This paved access is to be installed with development of the vacant parcel 2. The applicant is appealing this condition. ANALYSIS: The action taken by the City for this subdivision was done in light of the then newly approved subdivision access improvement policy (copy attached). The Planning Commission approved this policy in January 1979. The policy states: "Where dedications and improvements do not exist, the applicant shall obtain a minimum of forty feet of dedication and improve with twenty-six feet of pavement needed sweet frontage to reach the nearest maintained City sweet." This subdivision was most likely the first to be reviewed under this policy, and the final conditions did not require the forty feet of dedication but only required the twenty six feet of pavement. The final map was recorded in June 1981. An improvement certificate was placed on the final map for the paved access requirement. Also a lien agreement against the property was recorded. This insured notification to any prospective buyers of this parcel. This item is before the Planning Commission tonight because a prospective buyer, Mr. Karl Trautwein, is appealing the condition requiring the paved access. He has thoroughly researched the property and had discussions with other property owners who would be affected by the paved access. Mr. Trautwein is requesting the Commission modify the conditions of approval of the tentative map by deleting the requirement to pave a 26-foot wide access from Etiwanda Avenue to parcel 2. ITEM A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 4772 - TRAUTWEIN December 14, 1994 Page 2 Staff received a petition of those opposed to the paving of the access. Upon contact with some of the signatories, staff discovered they were not fully aware of the extent of the paving. Some even changed their mind and said the paving was reasonable. Based on this misunderstanding the petition is not being accepted, however is included as part of the staff report. However, contact with Cucamonga County Water District substantiated they do not desire the paving. They are concerned with increased liability in performing any change to the existing access. They are the major property owner of the access road, and without their permission neither the City nor Mr. Trautwein may enter their property to install the pavement. Therefore, the condition is not able to be ful~lled. Staff has conferred with the City Attorney regarding this matter. since the condition cannot be fulfilled, an action approving the appeal is appropriate. The parcel, as currently subdivided, does meet the requirements of City Council Resolution 80-38 (copy attached). This resolution establishes requirements for access to landlocked parcels where no subdivision occurs. Mr. Trautwein is also objecting to the payment of the fee to modify the condition and process the necessary paperwork. Fees are established by City Council Ordinance and as such, the Planning Commission does not have the authority to grant the refund. If Mr. Trautwein desires, his request will be taken to the City Council. Mr. Trautwein has been advised the appeal to the Planning Commission is necessary since staff does not have the authority to arbitrarily grant his request. RECOMMENDATIONS: With City Attorney concurrence, staff recommends approval of the request. A resolution is attached. Respectfully submitted, William J.

I want to build one home for our family (my wife and 2 daughters) at this location on 23rd st. The city engineering department informed me that when this parcel was subdivided in 1981 one of the conditions was that a 26' wide paved access be installed the approx 850' from Etiwanda ave across the parcel, before any building was allowed. As I researched the feasibility of constructing the street I discovered that the plan called for pavement to be installed across several private properties. I contacted the owners of each property (see list below) and they all refused to allow easements on their property. Thus the condition imposed on this subdivision is impossible to meet. I then asked the city to issue me a building permit since it would not be legal to impose an impossible condition on a property development. The city engineering department informed me that before a permit was issued the parcel map would need to be modified to remove the impossible condition. They indicated that only the planning commission had the authority to do this. They then told me that if I wanted a modification that I would need to apply for it. It is my belief that it should not be my responsibility to file for modification of a condition that is clearly impossible to conform to and to pay a substantial fee to do so. However since I was instructed that this was the only way to resolve this problem I am reluctantly doing so. I respectfully request that given consideration of the facts of this matter that the city return to me the fee I have paid. I am hereby requesting a modification to the conditions of parcel map 4773 that include the following: Elimination of any conditions to install a 26' wide access to the parcel from Etiwanda ave, and elimination of any related conditions. Removing the real property improvement contract and lien agreement that was recorded against parcel #2. I am willing as per city resolution 80-38 to provide a new lien agreement to pay for the street improvements across the front of my property at such time in the future as they go in. As time is of the essence in this matter I request that these modifications be approved at the earliest possible meeting which I understand according to Dan James is December 14, 1994.

There is a proposal to have Trautwein pave the sUreet prior to him building. I am strongly for having the street ~aved. Every year a~ter the rainy season, Uhe street gets washed out causing severe pot holes and damage vehicles. Additionally, ~ believe it can open the City and County up to a lawsuiU should someone get involved in an auto accidenu as a result of the road. I understand many of Uhe neighbors would like to leave the road dirt and keep the rustic beauty. I appreciate that but I also see the problems that can be caused. I strongly recommend that the City/County assist Mr. Trau[wein to have Uhe road properly graded and paved.

David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Buller, 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 14th day of December 1994, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: December 14, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Plarming Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: VARIANCE 94-06 - GELMINI - A request to reduce the required side yard setback for a garage from 10 feet to 2.5 feet on a single family residential parcel in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at 8214 Avenida Vejar - APN: 207-161-07. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. SUrroundin~ Land Use and Zoninm North - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) South - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) East - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) West - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) B. Site Characteristics: The site is fully developed with a single family residence. ANALYSIS: A. General: The purpose and intent of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and in the same district inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. B. Specific: The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required setback along the interior side yard for an existing one-story garage (see photo in Exhibit "E"). The detached garage is located to the rear of the residence (see Exhibit "D"), approximately 75 feet from the street. The garage is setback 2'5" from the east property line. The Development Code requires a 10 foot setback in the Low Residential District. ITEM B PLANNiNG COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VAR 94-06 - GELMiNI December 14, 1994 Page 2 The original garage was completely destroyed by fire on July 26, 1993. The applicant obtained a building permit to reconstruct the garage on October 10, 1993. The approved plans indicated that a 5 foot side yard setback would be provided (see Exhibit "F"). Inspections revealed that the location of the garage was not according to the approved plans resulting in the need for this variance. A legal non-conforming structure, which is at least 50 percem destroyed, shall not be restored except in full confonnity with the regulations for the district in which it is located, according to Development Code Section 17.02.130.F. 1. C. ~ The applicant contends that the strict enforcement of the setback regulation would deprive them of privileges enjoyed by their neighbors because of several other lots in the area with similar side yard setbacks. Staffs investigation indicates that the majority of the surrounding properties have substandard side yard setbacks, as noted in Exhibit "C". The tract was built under the County with less than 5 feet of setback on one side of the lot. Typically the garages were plotted detached and featured little or no side yard setback. In staffs opinion, strict and literal interpretation of the required side yard setback would deprive the applicant of the privilege of having a detached garage and rear yard area consistent with the pattern in their neighborhood. The side yard setbacks were adopted to ensure proper air, light, and open space for single family residential areas. The location of the garage mitigates its encroachment into the side yard. The adjoining parcels, and those across the street, have identical non-conforming setbacks. Staff believes that these unique circumstances support the requisite findings for granting this variance. ~: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inlan~e Dail Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to the adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the project. ~: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance No. 94-06 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with findings.

This Cor~mission 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 Conm~ssion during the above-referenced public hearing on December 14, 1994, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at 8214 Avenida vejar with a street frontage of 60 feet and lot depth of 130 feet and is presently impr6ved with a single family residence; and b. The properties to the north, south, east, and west of the subject site are single family residences; and c. The majority of properties in the area have garages which encroach significantly into the required side yard setbacks; and d. The subject structure, a detached, one-story, two-car garage, was originally built under the County of San Bernardino's setback regulations which were less than current regulations; and e. The subject structure was completely destroyed by fire in July of 1993 and required reconstruction; and f. The subject structure is located approximately 75 feet from the street, behind the residence. ~ ~ pLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VI~R 94-06 - GELMINI December 14, 1994 Page 2 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 Cor~nission 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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below. 1) The garage shall not be expanded beyond the size approved by this Resolution and any future structures shall be located within the required setbacks. 5.

SC - 12/93 12of 12 CITY OF RANCHO CUCANIONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: December 14, 1994 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Beverly Luttrell, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A REOUEST TO AMEND THE INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN REGARDING EXTENSIVE 1MPACT UTILITY FACILITIES - CUCAMONGA COUNTY WATEK BACKGROUND: Cucamonga County Water District currently opemtas their administrative and maintenance facility on San Bernardino Road, west of Amhibald Avenue. The District desires to consolidate their entire operation on a larger site and is considering the purchase of a 10.74 acre property located at 7900 Center Avenue. The proposed site is larger than their current location, and is located within Subarea 17 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan (see Exhibit "B"). The proposed administrative headquarters and maintenance facility ase classified as Administrative Civic Services and Extensive Impact Utilities Facilities, respectively. Administrative Civic Services is currently permitted in Subarea 17, while Extensive Impact Utilities Facilities is not (see Exhibit "B"). Therefore, the applicant is requesting the Commission consider adding the latter land use category to this Subarea as a conditionally permitted use. ~: Subarea 17 is intended as "a transition zone from more intensive industrial or commercial activities to residential areas". A single family residential neighborhood exists to the west, on the other side of Center Avenue. Uses such as "Custom and Light Manufacturing" are permitted as a matter of right, while uses such as "Automotive Rental/Leasing," and "Public Safety and Utility Services" are conditionally permitted within Subarea 17. These uses are not unlike the storage of vehicles and the indoor maintenance facility which the District is proposing. Staff believes that the Conditional Use Permit review process would be the appropriate tool to solicit public comment and ensure neighborhood compatibility consistent with the intent of Subarea 17. I~C..Q~ihtF.~: Staff recommends that the Commission direct staff to initiate the amendment process upon submittal of an application from Cucamonga County Water District.

This property is bounded on the north by a flood control basin, the east by Haven Avenue, Deer Creek Channel and the Brunswick Center beyond, the south by vacant industrial and improved industrial properties, and the west by single-family residences on the west side o{ Center Avenue. See the attached vicinity map. The request for a Specific Plan ~endment is necessitated to allow CCWD to relocate to a larger parcel of land and maintain a consolidated facility as we now have. The CCWD utility as a land use was not specifically addressed in the planning of the industrial areas as it is in the Foothill Boulevard SpeciEic Plan. Therefore, the only use definition is the "EIUF" designation which is not totally accurate but sufficient. This use requires a Conditional Use Permit to be allowed in several of the other subareas and would be appropriate in Subarea 17 as well.

This site has many advantages, not the least of which is the price. Also, it is central to the District ' s operations, is adcquate in size, has good vehicle access, is buffered from and to adjoining uses, and has the necessary public improvements in place. Maintaining a consolidated facility with administrative offices, shops, warehouse and maintenance on one site has many obvious advantages to the District. Overall management and administration is simplified and therefore, will be more efficient when all operations are on one site. In addition, the number of vehicle trips will be reduced between facilities resulting in a savings in travel time. The Specific Plan Amendment would allow an "EIUF" use in Subarea 17 subject to a Conditional Use Permit. This would allow the City to maintain control of development in the subarea and assure that conflicts with other uses do not occur. A Conditional Use Permit application has been submitted in conjunction with this request so that the Commission can evaluate the merits of the project and expedite resolution of the amendment.

After receiving the information, the Commission felt the RCP, as proposed, created a regional planning authority without representation for local government and a document that was internally inconsistent. Also, the RCP combined mandatory and advisory chapters that could result in all chapters being mandatory. As a result, the Commission directed staff to prepare a Resolution to 1) convey its opposition to the RCP in its current form, and 2) request the RCP be renamed the Regional Comprehensive Report. The Commission's action would be forward to the City Council for their consideration. On November 9, 1994, a Resolution was presented to the Planning Commission for their adoption. The Commission requested that additional language be added to the Resolution. Also, the Commission suggested that another form of document, other than a Resolution, may be appropriate to convey their concerns with the RCP. A Commission subcommittee (Barker, Lumpp) was appointed to provide additional language for consideration by the Planning Commission. Staff has prepared both a Resolution and a Memorandum incorporating those changes requested by the subcommittee;. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Resolution or the Memorandum to be forward to the City Council for their consideration.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BE OPPOSED IN ITS CURRENT FORM AND BE RENAMED THE REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. WHEREAS, the Southern california Association of Governments (SCAG) has been designated by State and Federal Statutes as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the purposes of regional planning; and WHEREAS, SCAG has prepared a Regional comprehensive Plan (RCP) to address numerous issues within the SCAG region; and WHEREAS, the document, with its current title, mandates, pursuant to State law, the review and implementation of all provisions and chapters which is inconsistent with the overall intent of the RCP based on SCAG policy, and WHEREAS, the Chapters, in soma instances, are inconsistent with each other causing an unclear, subjective interpretation which is inconsistent with the overall intent of the RCP, and WHEREAS, the adoption of the Plan will result in an additional layer of nonrepresentational government with non-elected SCAG staff making decisions that will impact local government, and WHEI~EASt the RCP does not contain sufficient controls to ensure consistent decision making by local jurisdictions should the advisory elements become mandatory, and WHEREAS, implementation of this document conflicts with existing regional governing entities, delaying the due process by removing local control. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council express opposition to the Regional comprehensive Plan in its current form and that the document be renamed the Regional Comprehensive ReDoft in order to ensure proper emphasis on the advisory nature of the chapters contained in the document and object to its contents in its present form. WHEREAS, the Secretary of this Con~nission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF DECEMBER 1994. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: E. David Barker, Chairman PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN December 14, 1994 Page 2 ATTEST: Brad Buller, 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 14th day of December 1994, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MEMORANDUM DATE: December 14, 1994 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lain, AICP, City Manager FROM: E. David Barker, Planning Commission Chairman SUBJECT: REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN On October 26, 1994, Councilmember Buquet updated the Planning Commission on the status of the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) prepared by the Southem California Association of Govemments (SCAG). The Planning Commission is very concerned about the content of the RCP and the implications it could have on local jurisdictions. The concerns are as follows: 1. The RCP, with its current title, mandates, pursuant to state law, the review and implementation of all provisions and chapters. This is inconsistent with the overall intent of the RCP based on SCAG policy. 2. The adoption of the RCP will result in an ::dditional layer ofnonrepresentational government with non-elected SCAG staff making decisions that will impact local government. 3. In some instances, RCP chapters are inconsistent with each other causing an unclear, subjective interpretation which is inconsistent with the overall intent of the RCP. 4. Implementation of the RCP conflicts with existing regional governing entities, delaying the process by removing local control. For these reasons, a majority of the Planning Commission ( ayes, noes, __absent) recommend that the City Council consider the impact of the RCP on our city and, if deemed appropriate, register the City's opposition to the RCP with SCAG.
