DATE: January 11, 1995
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 94-20 - WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT - The
design review of detailed site plan and elevations for 20 lots within Tract 10210, a
recorded tract map of 33 lots in the Hillside Residential District, located on the north
side of Almond Street at Crestview Place - APN: 200- 441-39, 41 through 47, 49,
50, 52, 53, 56 through 60, 62, 64, and 65.
pROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. SurrOunding Land Uses and Zoning:
North - Undeveloped hillside area; Hillside Residential District (less than 2 dwelling Units
per acre)
South - High power transmission lines, single family homes; Very Low Residential District
(up to 2 dwelling units per acre)
East - Single family homes; Very Low Residential District (up to 2 dwelling units per
acre)
West - Natural terrain, Cucamonga Creek; Open Space District
B. Site Characteristics: The site is rough graded and public improvements have been installed,
including streets, trails, driveways, and street lights. The site is constrained by the
Cucamonga Fault Zone which runs through in an east/west direction across the middle of the
tract, the high power transmission lines that run along the southern tier of lots wig the
tract, slopes ranging from 15 to 30 percent for some lots, and being in a high fire hazard
zone.
ANALYSIS:
A. Back~ound: The tract was originally approved by the Commission on September 23, 1981
and was recorded in 1986. The Commission approved the first Design Review for 23 lots
on August 24, 1988, a second Design Review for 5 lots on August 8, 1989, and a third
Design Review for 13 lots on January 18, 1990. The approved elevations consisted of three
floor plans with three elevations for each one. Two of the floor plans were single story. The
A-/
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

size of the three floor plans ranged from 2,850 to 3,600 square feet. The architectural styles
were a mix of Tudor, Traditional, and Mediterranean. The previous developer submitted for
plan check between 1989 and 1990 but did not receive a building permit for any of the lots.
Subsequently, the approvals for the three design reviews have lapsed and the property has
reverted back to the lender, Westinghouse Credit Corporation (WCC). WCC in partnership
with the applicant, Woodbridge Development Company, is taking over the development of
the site and has named the project "Skyline Estates."
B. Pronosed Pro_iect: The applicant proposes three floor plans for the 20 lots. Plan 1 is a single
story while Plans 2 and 3 are two-story. The floor plans range in size from 3,380 square feet
for plan 1 and 3,890 and 3,902 square feet for Plans 2 and 3. Three elevations are available
for each floor plan. The architectural style is a mix of Mediterranean and Traditional.
According to the applicant, the floor plans will have a standard 3-car garage with an option
for a 4-car garage; however, certain lots will only have a 3-car garage because of site or
grade constraints. The applicant also stated that they intend to build the project in two
phases with 10 lots for each phase. The remainder lots within the Tract will be pan of a lot
sales program for custom homes.
C. Design Review Committee: The Committee (Lumpp, Melther, Coleman) reviewed the
project initially on November 1, 1994. The Committee did not recommend approval of the
project because the design did not meet the intent of the Hillside Ordinance and the applicant
was directed to submit revised plans for further review. At the November 15, 1994, meeting,
the Committee (Lumpp, Melcher, Coleman) were to review the revised elevations for Plans
1 and 2. However, the applicant provided a new two-story house (Plan 3) as well as
increasing from 10 to 20 lots. The Committee continued the item to December 6, 1994,
because of the new information submitted at the meeting. The Committee also provided
additional direction to the applicant for revising the elevations and the site/grading to address
its concerns. Staff believes that the revised development plans meet the intent of the
Hillside Ordinance. Stepped foundation are used, ranging from 1 to 3 feet between each
step. The mount of 2:l slope is minimized and variable slopes of 2:l, 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1 are
being used. The applicant addressed the streetscape dominance of the 4-car garage by
providing the option of an inside or outside side-on garage entry for all three plans. Of the
total 20 lots, 9 have either a 3-car garage and/or side-on entry. On December 6, 1994, the
Committee (Lampp, Tolstoy, Bullet) reviewed the revised development plans and
recommended approval with conditions. Copies of the Design Review Committee action for
the November 1, 15, and December 6, 1994, meetings are attached to this report for
reference.
D. Grading Review Committee: The Committee recommended approval with conditions as
outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. The applicant has submitted "as graded"
precise Fading for Building and Safety Division for review and certification of the tract.
According to the Building Official, the acceptance of the Tract is pending on some minor
repair work to the grades.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:00 p.m. Nancy Fong December 6, 1994
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 94-20 - WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT - The design review of
detailed site plan and elevations for 20 lots within a recorded tract map of 33 lots Tract 10210, in the
Hillside Residential District, located on the north side of Almond Street at Crestview Place - APN:
200 ~.41-36,39, 4147, 49, 50, 52, 53, 56-60, 62, 64 and 65. (Resubmittal item).
BACKGROUND:
The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, Meteher, Coleman) reviewed the project initially at the
November 1, 1994 meeting. The Committee did not approve tl3. e project because the design did not
meet the intent of the Hillside Ordinance and directed the applicant to submit revised plans for their
review at the November 15, 1994, DRC meeting. On November 8, 1994, the applicant submitted
revised elevations for house Plans I and 2, however, a revised site/grading plan was not included.
On November 14, 1994, the applicant modified the application by adding 10 more lots for design
review. At the November 15, 1994, meeting, the applicant provided a new two stoW house (plan 3 )
as well as a revised site/grading plan for the 20 lots to the Committee for review. The Committee
continued the item to December 6, 1994, because of the lack of a site/grading plan for reviewing
Plans 1 and 2 and because of the new information submitted at the meeting. Attached for the
Committee reference are copies of the November 1 and 15, 1994, DRC action comments.
The applicant has been diligently working with staff to revise the project and prepare the necessary
plans for the Committee review. Attached is a set of the development plans that include the mosl
up-to-date site/grading plan for the 20 lots, the elevations for Plans 1, 2, and 3 with the appropriate
roof plans. The applicant addressed the dominance of the 4-car garage by introducing an inside and
outside side-on garage enlry.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline fgr Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad issues will be the focus o,f CommiUee discussion regarding this
project:
1. Site and Gradinl. The revised plans show the use of stepped foundation, raging from 1-
foot to 3 feet between each step. The amount of 2: l slopes are minimized and variable
slopes of 2: 1, 3:1, 4: 1, 5:1 are being used. Staff believes that the applicant has met the intent
of the Hillside Ordinance. However, some improvements can be done to the following lots:
a. Provide a deeper from yard setback for Lot 7 so that the u-an.sition of the 14 pereeut
driveway slope to the garage is much smoother.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
DR 94-20 - WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT
December 6, 1994
Page 2
b. Lot 4 - Provide additional stepped foundation to take up the grades. Consider using
a 3-car instead of a 4-car garage.
c. Consider an outside side-on garage for lot 10.
d. Provide additional stepped foundation for Lot 23.
e. Usea3.carinsteadofa4-eargarageforlotl4toredueetheamotmtofdrivewaYand
provide some usable side yard area.
f. provide a minimum 2 feet step between the living area for the house Plan on Lot l5.
g. Orient the house plan on Lots 4, 9, 12, 24, and 27 to be more parallel to the contours
and reinforce the "custom" feel of the tract.
h. Orient the house plan on Lot 10 to face the f~ont of the house to the n>ottherly street to
improve views and eliminate undesirable view of neigllbor's house to the east. This
will require relocating driveway.
2. Elevations. 3 house plans are proposed. Plans 2 and 3 are two-story house and Plan 1 is a
one story house. The floor area ranges from 3,360 to 3,902 square feet. 3 elevations are
provided for each house plans. All 3 plans have elevltions showing the options of a 3-car
garage, a 4-car garage or a side-on garage entry. Of the total 20 Lots, 7 have either a 3-car
garage and/or side-on entry. The deck design for Plan 2 has been modified to show less of
a vertical look. The following changes are recommended for discussion:
a. Partial column on right side of enlry arch (against BDRM 3) shotrid be treated with
stone ven~r on exterior type 1A.
b. Add architectural elements and embellish the street side elevation for Plan 1 on Lot 23.
c. Add architectural elements to the left elevation of the side-on garage enwy for Plans
2and 3.
d. Extend veneer material (i.e., stone or brick) to grade to be similar to column tops. An
example of the proper treatment can be seen on exterior type 1C at Lot 6.
e. Repeat stucco over detail underneath cave consistently throughout on exterior type 2A
(as was done on 2B), such as on highest gable end and turret.

f. Second living room window is missing on fight side of chimney on right elevations for
Plan 3 (refer to floorplan).
g. Second dining room window is missing on right elevations for Plan 2 (refer to
floorplan).
h. Redesign cap element on chimney for exterior type 2B which appears top heavy and
out-of-scale with width of chinracy stack on fxont and rear elevations.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Develop typical decking plans for rear and side yards area instead of creating fiat yard areas.
(This item can be conditioned).
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy end should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Use decorative cap for retaining walls. CI'his item can be conditioned).

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 94-20 - WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT - The design review of detailed
site plan and elevations for 10 lots within a recorded l~act map of 33 lots in the Hillside Residential
District, located on the north side of Almond Street at Crestview Place - APN: 200-441-39, 41, 45-47,
52, 53, 57, 58, and 65. (Resubmittal item).
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTION:
Members Present: John Melcher, Heinz Lumpp, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Nancy Fong
The Committee (Melcher, Lumpp, Coleman) stated that they did not have sufficient information to
review the revised elevations for Plans 1 and 2 because a revised site/grading plan was not included. The
Committee also stated that the new two stow house plan and the revised site/grading plan provided at the
meeting by the applicant and the expanded design review application from 10 to 20 lots need to be
reviewed and analyzed by staff prior to their review. The Committee continued the item to the December
6, 1994 meeting and directed the applicant to revise the elevations and site/grading plans to address the
following concerns as well as those concerns from the November 1, 1994 meeting.
1. Include roof plans for the three house plans in the development packages.
2. Reduce the dominance of the 4-car garage by using side-on entry, detached garage, etc.
3. Show graphically the stepped foundation on all the elevations, i.e., the one story and the two story
house plans.
4. Do not use the round tower (turret) element (plan 3) for too many times within the tract. Provide
a proper proportion when the round tower element transition to the building plane.
5. Reduce the material dominance of the deck at the rear elevation for plan 2.
The Committee directed the applicant to look at the example of the streetscape design located south of
the project site, at the south side of Almond Avenue.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 94-20 - WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT - The design review of detailed
site plan and elevations for 10 lots within a recorded tract map of 33 lots in the Hillside Residential
District, located on the north side of Almond Street at Crestview Place - APN: 200441-
39,41,45,46,47,52,53,57,58 and 65.
Background:
The tract was originally approved by the Commission on September 23, 1981, and was recorded in 1986.
On August 24, 1988, the Commission appmved a design review for 23 lots within the tract, specifically
lots 2-12, 15-19, 22-27, and 30. On August 8, 1989, the Commission approved a second design review
for another 5 lots, specifically lots 1, 14, 20, 21, and 29. On January 18, 1990, the Design Review
Committee appmved the building design for lot 13. The appmved elevations consisted of 3 floor plans with
3 elevations for each one. Two of the floor plans were single story. The size for the 3 floor plans ranges
from 2,850 to 3,600 square feet. The architectural styles were a mix of Tudor, Traditional and
Mediterranean. The developer was Sahama/Nordic, who had submitted for plan check between 1989 and
1990 but did not obtain building permits. Subsequently, the approvals for the two design reviews have
lapseal and the property has reve~'a:d back to the lender, Westinghouse Credit Corporation (WCC). WCC
has named the project as Skyline Estates and attempt~l to sell the lots as custom home sites. Woodbridge
Development company is interested in taking over the development of the site and has submitted for
design review of 10 lots.
Design Parameters:
The site is constrained by a couple of environmental features. They are: the Cueamonga Fault Zone which
runs through in a east/westerly direction across the middie of the tract, the high power transmission lines
from Southern Edison Company that run along the southern tier of lots within the tract; slopes ranging
from 15 to 30 percent for some lots; and the site being in a high fire havard zone. Public improvements
including the trails are in place except for street trees and driveways; however, the grading for the site has
not been accepted by the City's Building and Safety Division. The development plans (grading and
elevations) submitted by the applicant are similar to the plans that were previously approved by the
Commission. Only two floor plans are used, a single story and a two story, ranging from 3,200 to 3,600
square feet in size respectively. However, the elevations show some noticeable changes.: Attached for the
Committee reference are the previously approved grading plan and elevations. In addition, homes within
this tract are now subject to the Hillside Ordinance since the previously approved design review has
expired.
Staff Comments
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for CommAnee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project:

1. Grading. The proposed grading concept is to use raised foundations for creating a level finished
floor. The stem wails range ~'om a height of 2 to 5 feet Although this concept achieved one aspect
of the Hillside Ordinance of minimizing grading, it does not address reducing the building bulk
of the houses. The addition ofa 2 to 3 feet stem wall to a single or two story home may not add to
the bulk of the building. However, the addition of a 3 to 5 feet stem wall makes the bulk of a two
story home more massive. The DRC should determine if the proposed grading is consistent with
the approved plans or if further revisions are needed. The following lots could have stepped
foundations instead of raised ones: !ots 4, 6, 10-12, 17, 23 and 30.
2. Elevations. The level of architectural elements and detailing for the proposed one story home need
to reflect the same level of quality as in the previously approved plans. The proposed elevations
A (Mediterranean) for the two story home is comparable to the approved one. However, elevations
B and C need to be improved to the same level of detailing as in the approved ones. The wood
siding and brick veneer of the approved elevations have been eliminated fxom the proposed
elevations.
S~o_..~.~_n__n__n_d~ Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Instead of creating a fiat usable 15 foot rear year area, the applicant should consider developing
plans that use decking for the yards areas (side and rear).
Policy Issues: The following item are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. An 18-foot dePth ofdriveway in f~ont ofthe garage that is less than 5 % slope for lot 10.
2. Retaining wall should have a decoralive cap.
3. For lots that can accommodate a hnrse corral, concepts of a 24 by 24 feet corral and a 10-foot
wide acco~s to the trail should be provided.
Staff Recommendations:

1. House design (single and two story) should fit the contours of the lots by using a mix of techniques
listed in the Hillside Ordinance, such as stepped foundation and stem wall. For example if stem
wall exceeds 2 feet in height, stepped foundation should be used.
2. House design should have a custom look and should set an example for the txact.
3. The building mass of the two story house should be reduced.
4. The elevations for single story house with the design solution (lower pitch roof, addition of hip
roof, and addition of field stone material) presented at the me~ting is acceptable.

Interest rates have a direct impact on the affordability of home ownership. As interest rates increase
affordability decreases. Interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage hit a low point of 6.74 percent
in October, 1993. The low interest rate plus reduced home prices stimulated home sales. In the first
half of 1994 home sales increased, responding to rising interest rates. Buyers, waiting until prices
stabilized, concluded purchases, because they believed that further declines in home price would be
offset by higher interest rates. By June 1, 1994 interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate loan had
increased to 8.5 percent.
Housing affordability is affected by income and consumer debt, as well as interest rates. In June
1994, HUD stated that the median family income for San Bernardino County was $42,300. This is
an increase of $10,000 above the June 1989 median income. (See Table V-4.)
A first time home buyer is one who has never previously owned a home, or who has not owned a
home in the last three years. When the interest rate is 6.75 percent, a first time home buyer at 100
percent of median income, with no installment debt, and with the ability to put up a ten percent down
payment, could afford a house priced at $159,567. When the interest rate increases to 8.5 percent,
the affordability cap drops to $134,460. When the interest rate increases to 9.5 percent, the
affordability cap decreases to $122,949, (See Table V-5.)
A first time buyer participation in a ten percent down payment program is required to make impound
payments. Impounds include payments on mortgage insurance at one (1) percent of the loan value
DECEMBER 1994 DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT TECHNICAL APPENDIX
PAGE V - 9
and property taxes at a minimum of one percent of total value, as well as fire insurance. Impounds
are computed in the affordability calculation for Table V-5. A perspective buyer would be required
to deposit approximately a one year advance into the impound account, in addition to the down
payment. The monthly payment in Table V-5 is limited to principle and interest. The actual monthly
payment for the first time buyer is increased by the required monthly contribution to the impound
account.
Installment debt decreases the affordable home price. According to Bank of America a typical first
time home buyer earning $42,300 has installment debt of about $250 month. For example, a home
buyer with a $250 a month car payment could afford a house priced at $126,311 at the 8.5 percent
rate of interest, or $8,148 less than the buyer with no consumer debt.

I. CE OF H IN
Housing prices in the City and surrounding region continue to decline, but reliable data for the City
and the region is not available. For example, TRW occasionally publishes "most recent month data."
For the month of January, 1989, sales of new and resale of single-family detached and attached
homes in the City averaged $170,927. For January, 1994, the average price was $161,356. This
small sample indicates a six (6) percent price decrease for the five year period. Figures released by
TRW for May 1994 set the median home price at $127,249 indicating a 34 percent price decrease
for the same period. Perhaps even more important, home prices for all ZIP codes within the City are
still declining.
According to Len Purdue and Associates, the overall decline in price for a part of the reporting
period, i.e. from 1991 through 1993, averaged nine (9) percent. Figures comparing the median price
for new and resale homes on an annual basis for 1989 and 1993 are unavailable. According to the
Inland Empire News, the median home price in the County for the two year period ending October
1991, was $142,390. TRW reports month to month sales: for May 1994, the median price reported
was $127,249, indicating an 11.9 percent decrease from 1991. It is likely that the decrease in home
price in the County between 1989 and 1994 was between ten and twenty percent.
Several factors explain the higher average price for houses in the City than in the County. Foremost
is the perception of high quality of life in the City. For example, Money Magazine, May 1994,
ranked the City as the 1 lth safest city in the nation with a population over 100,000. Amehities,
including parks, trails, and recreation programs, add to the public perception of high quality of life
standards.
J. PUBLIC OPINION
Homeowners, who perceive a generally higher quality of life and amenities in the City than in the
surrounding urban region and who may have paid more to locate in the City, defend elements which
they believe create quality of life. For example, they vigorously promote single-family ownership
and have vocally discouraged City sponsored new affordable rental housing projects.
Consistent with residents in most of Califomia, the community supports affordable projects which
appear to increase property values. For example, they support rehabilitation and replacement of
deteriorating buildings. They support assistance for declining neighborhoods. They also support a
variety of affordable owner projects, such as small lot developments, single-family attached housing,
and first time buyer loan programs. Many homeowners in the City have benefitted from such
programs.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 11, 1995
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT 94-04 - CUCAMONGA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT - A request
to add Extensive Impact Utility Facilities as a conditionally permitted use in Subarea
17 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Flood control basin; Flood control district
South - Car wash/gas station; Community Commercial (FBSP)
East Shopping center; General Commercial
West Single family residences; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units/acre)
B. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Industrial Park
North - Flood Control
South- Commercial
East - Commercial
West - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling umts/acrc)
D. Site Characteristics: The site consists of multiple, undeveloped industrial lots.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) currently operates their administrative
and maintenance facility on a 2-acre parcel on San Bemardino Road, west of Archibald
Avenue. The District desires to consolidate their entire operation on a larger site more
centrally located within their service area. CCWD is considering purchasing a 10.74 acre
property located at 7900 Center Avenue within Subarea 17.
The proposed administrative headquarters and vehicle storage yard/maintenance facility are
classified as "Administrative Civic Services" and "Extensive Impact Utility Facilities,"
respectively, by the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The former is a permitted use within
Subarea 17, whereas the latter is not permitted (see Exhibit "B'). Therefore, the applicant is
requesting this amendment to add "Extensive Impact Utility Facilities" as a conditionally
permined use within Subarea 17.
ITEM C
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
ISPA 94-04
January 11, 1994
Page 2
B. Land Use Suitability: Subarea 17 is intended as "a transition from more intensive industrial or
commemial activities to residential areas". In this case, the transition is from the commemial
activities along Haven Avenue and the low density residential neighborhood on the west side
of Center Avenue. Allowable uses within Subarea 17 range from "Custom and Light
Manufacturing," such as the existing Data Design manufacturing operation, which is permitted
by right, and "Automotive Rental/Leasing" and "Public Safety and Utility Services," which are
conditionally permitted. These latter two uses are similar to the storage of vehicles and the
indoor maintenance facility which Cucamonga County Water District is proposing. The
General Telephone switching facility and vehicle storage yard, which exists on a properly
adjoining the southeast comer of Subarea 17, is an example of how such a facility can be
successfully designed to screen outdoor storage activities. 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. It should also be noted
that CCWD's current location within a residential neighborhood has not resulted in any
complaints from surrounding residents.
C. Environmental Assessment: The Initial Study has been completed and staff determined that the,
amendment could result in adverse impacts upon the adjoining residential neighborhood, such
as noise, light, and glare. The Industrial Area Specific Plan contains performance standards
and development standards which address these potential impacts and reduce them to a level
which would not be considered significant; therefore, staff recommends issuance of a Negative
Declaration.
CORRESPONDENCE: In addition to advertising and posting this public hearing, the applicant held
a neighborhood meeting on December 5. Invitations were mailed to all property owners within a
600-foot radius. The applicant presented their proposed amendment and conceptual site plans. The
one resident who attended the meeting expressed concems regarding traffic and the lack of street
improvements on certain streets in the area.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached
Resolution of Approval and forward their recommendation to the City Council.

Mr. Dave Barker, Chairman
Planning Commission
City Of Rancho Cucamonga
P.O. Box 807
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
Dear Chairman Barker:
I respectfully request that the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga consider initiating a change to
the Industrial Area Specific Plan to allow Cucamonga County
Water District (CCWD) to consolidate District operations at
a new site located in Subarea 17. The operations will
include an administrative office building, shop/warehouse
building, vehicle maintenance building and a vehicle
fuelin~ station. The existing Specific Plan would only
allow the office building as a permitted use.. The other
uses fall under the "extensive impact utilities facilities"
definition and therefore, are not currently permitted in
Subarea 17.
The proposed CCWD site ie located at 7900 Center Avenue in
an existing improved industrial subdivision- The property
being considered for purchase by the District is
approximately 10.74 acres in size. 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 Amendment 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 Speci/ic Plan. Therefore, the only use
definition is the "EIUF" designation which is not totally
accurate but sufficient. This use requires a Conditional

The District has been looking for a suitable site on which
to relocate for a number of years. 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.
Yours truly,
CUCkMONGA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT

DRAFT
C. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS Review of site plan,
elevations, colors, and materials for development of an ice/roller rink in
Buildings 18 and 19 as part Of Conditional Use Permit 94-26, located on 27
acres of land at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and RoChester
Avenue (the site Of previously approved Conditional Use Permit 91-24) in the
Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) Of the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
Brad Buller, City Planner, presented the staff report.
Mike Scandiffio, representing Masi Partners, explained the applicant's proposal
and offered to modify the plans to address the concerns of staff and any the
Planning Commission may express tonight. Re suggested moving the entry further
east by expanding a new front walkway corridor that would have a ,minimum
dimension of 12 feet wide and using decorative wrought iron fencing between the
columns of the entry walkway to ensure that users of the 'facility enter from the
east parking lot.
The question of adequate parking was discussed.
Mr. Buller explained that the latest parking analysis had not been reviewed by
staff since it had only been submitted on December 15, but noted that the basic
premise and methodology of the study were accepted earlier. He did question the
possible need for a variance for the new parking shown along the Rochester
frontage.
The Planning Commission also raised concern about the ability of the City to
ensure that the use of the building does not exceed the maximum occupancy load
for which parking is provided.
Mr. Buller explained the difficulty for staff in monitoring the interior use of
a building but reminded the Commission that if a violation or parking problem
does occur, consideration of revocation of the project's conditional use permit
might be required.
After considerable discussion on the site plan, architecture, color, and
materials for the ice/roller rink building, the Planning Commission agreed to
have a brief hearing of this matter on the January 11 agenda. At that meeting,
the applicant will present revised plans reflective of tonight's discussion.
Further, at the applicant's request, the item will be scheduled for final action
at the January 25 regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Because of
the short time frame for turn around of drawings, the Commission said a staff
report will not be necessary for the January 11 hearing, but simply requested
that the applicant submit revised plans prior to the meeting.

SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-49 - WESTERN LAND
PROPERTIES - A modification to the development of an integrated shopping center, Town
Center Square, consisting of 13 buildings totaling 225,316 square feet on 25 acres of land in
the Community Commercial DisUict of the Term Vista Community Plan, located on the north
side of Foothill Boulevard between Spruce and Elm Avenues - APN: 1077-421-58 and 63.
DEVELQpMENT REVIEW 94-19 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES - The design review
of detailed site plan and elevations for Building 8, Pet Metro, within the Town Center Square
shopping center in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Community Plan,
located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Spruce and Elm Avenues - APN:
1077-421-58.
ABSTRACT: The applicant requests approval of the revised Master Plan, the elevations of Building 1 (Home
Express), Building 2 (Ben Franklin Crafts), Building 8 (Pet Metro), and their signs.
BACKGROUND: On July 27, 1994, the Planning Commission conceptually approved the eastern half of
Town Center Square shopping center and the Best Buy building with a condition that the applicant submit
the Master Plan for further review prior to approval of a design review for Building 8. The areas of concem
identified by the Commission were access, circulation, and pedestrian connection on the western half of the
site and landscaping and architectural program for the entire site. Subsequently, the City received a
Conditional Use Permit application for the revised Master Plan and a Design Review application for the Pet
Metro building. On November 9, 1994, the Commission conducted a workshop to review the development
plans and directed the applicant to address their identified concems. On December 14, 1994, the Commission
conducted a second workshop to review the revised development plans. At that workshop the revised plans
included elevations for Home Express and Ben Franklin Crafts. The Commission found that the revised
development plans addressed many of the identified issues and that the elevations of the three tenants, with
the recommended improvements, were acceptable. The Commission then directed staff to forward the
applications to the Commission for formal action. Copies of the November 9, and December 14, 1994 staff
reports are attached to this report for reference.

ANALYSIS:
A. Master Plan. The revised Master Plan is similar in design to the one conceptually approved by the
Commission on July 27, 1994. However, it shows a reduction in the number of Buildings from 15
to 13 as a result of specific tenants for Buildings 1, 2, and 7 (Buildings 5, 6, and 7 are combined), and
an increase in the total square footage from 222,605 to 225,316 square feet. Most of the proposed
changes occur at the western half of the site. The location of the two project entries off Spruce
Avenue and the main east-west drive aisle have not changed. The safety and the flow of on-site traffic
from the first project entry off Spruce Avenue to Buildings 1 and 2 have improved. The Master Plan
shows the key pedestrian connections linking the buildings at the west side of the site and the east side
of Terra Vista Town Center. The landscape and hardscape design for Buildings 1, 2, and 8 have also
changed as a result of specific tenants.
The Commission reviewed the changes and found them acceptable with the condition that a
pedestrian connection be: provided from the north side of Building 12 to Home Express. The
Commission and the applicant agreed to staffs recommended improvements to the landscape and
hardscape plan as follows:
1. The use of acid wash surface material for the concrete accent inset. (Revised as shown in
Exhibit "E").
2. The addition of a row of pedestrian-scale trees along the main drive aisle at the signalized
entry off Spruce Avenue. (Revised as shown in Exhibit "E").
3. The addition of two pedestrian-scale trees to the west side of Ben Franklin Crafts.
(Conditioned).
4. The addition of a concrete accent inset in front of the second building entry for Pet Metro.
(Revised as shown in Exhibit "E").
The Commission also clarified to the applicant that the streetscape along Foothill Boulevard should
transition to the landscape concept of the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement.
B. Building Design for Pet Metro. Home Exnress. and Ben Franklin Craft~, The Commission found
the revised elevations for Pet Metro acceptable. The Commission also found the elevations for Home
Express (Building 1) and Ben Franklin Crafts (Building 2) acceptable with the following changes:
1. Add embellishments to the north elevation of Buildings 1 and 2.
a. The revised north elevation of Building 1 (see Exhibit "F") shows the addition of a
second tier of painted plaster comice along the top portion of this elevation. However,
the painted wainscot at the bottom portion of this elevation as reviewed by the
Commission at the December 14, 1994, workshop has been eliminated. Staff
recommends that the painted wainscot with the plaster molding be added back to this
elevation. (Conditioned) E C~ ~ ~
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-49 & DR 94-19 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
January 11, 1995

b. The revised north elevation of Building 2 (see Exhibit "G") shows the addition of
recessed arched plaster treatment and plaster molding with metal grill to the east side.
Staff finds the treatment acceptable.
2. Add molding around the diamond shape tile inset on the north and west elevation of Building
1 tower element. (Conditioned)
3. Add architectural treatment to the north side of Building 1 west elevation. (Conditioned)
4. Add architectural treatment to the north side of Building 2 east elevation.
The revised east elevation shows the same architectural elements as in the north elevation of
Building 1: a recessed arched plaster treatment and plaster molding with the metal grill (see
Exhibit "G"). Staff finds the treatment acceptable.
5. Add architectural treatment to the blank wail behind the colonnade of Building 2.
The revised elevation shows tile wainscot is being provided (see Exhibit "G"). Staff finds the
treatment acceptable.
6. A proper architecmrai treatment or transition to the south side of Building 2 east elevation be
provided. (Conditioned).
C. Si_tms. The Commission conditionaily approved a Uniform Sign Program for Town Center Square
on October 26, 1994. Pet Metro, Home Express, and Ben Franklin Crafts are Major Users which are
ailowed to have one wail sign per building entry with a sign dimension of 2 feet high by 24 feet long.
However, a provision in this Sign Type I aiso ailows an increase in the letter size if the sign is
included as part of design for the building elevations subject to Design Review Committee approvai.
The signs for Pet Metro have been included in the building design for staff review. However, the
applicant submitted proposed signs for Home Express and Ben Franklin Crafts stores at the December
14, 1994 workshop. Because staff did not have a chance to review the proposed signs against the
approved Uniform Sign Program and the City's Sign Ordinance, the Commission took no action at
that time. Based upon the revised development plans, staff offers the following conunents:
1. Pet Metro Store. Two signs are proposed. The primary sign is located at the main building
entry and consists of the words "Pet Metro" with a metropolis graphic design behind the
individual letten and secondary words of "the ultimate pet metropolis," with a sign dimensions
of 5.5 feet by 35 feet. The colon are red letten with blue trim for Pet Metro, white letters with
blue background for the additional words, and yellow and blue for the graphics. The
secondary sign consists of individual letters for the words "Pet Hospital," with a sign
dimensions of 2 feet by 20 feet. The color is white. Staff recommendation at the December
14, 1994, workshop was to eliminate the graphics and the secondary wording for the primary
sign and reduce the letter height to 3.5 feet. The Commission reviewed the proposed signs and
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-49 & DR 94-19 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
January 11, 1995
Page 4
found the Pet Metro sign with the graphics and the additional wordings acceptable if the sign
height was reduced from 5.5 to 3.5 feet. The Commission also found the secondary sign
acceptable as shown on the elevation as to the sign location, dimensions, and color. The
revised elevation shows a reduced letter height of 3.5 feet and a total sign height of 5 feet.
2. Home Express Store. Two signs are proposed for Home Express, one at the main building
entry and a second one at the west elevation. The signs consist of individual letters for the
words" Home Express." The sign dimensions are 3.5 feet by 32 feet. The color is red. Staff
finds the main entry sign has the proper proportions when placed on the tower element and
is therefore acceptable. The placement of the second sign at the west elevation is acceptable;
however, the letter height should be reduced to 24 inches since the building is much closer to
Spruce Avenue. This item has been placed as a condition of approval.
3. Ben Franklin Crafts Store. One sign is proposed at the main building entry. It consists of
individual letters for the words "Ben Franklin Crafts." The letter size for the words "Ben
Franklin" is 2 feet and the letter sizes for the word "Crafts" are 4 feet for upper case "C" and
3.5 feet for the lower case letters. The color is red. Staff finds the proposed sign acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve the Modification to Conditional
Use Permit 93-49 and Development Review 94-19 through the adoption of the attached resolution.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 94-19 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES - The design
review of detailed site plan and elevations for Building 8, Pet MeU'o, within the
Town Center Square shopping center in the Commtmity Commercial District of the
Term Vista Community Plan, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard
between Spruce and Elm Avenues - APN: 1077-421-58.
~STRACT: Thi~ workshop is a design review of the revised Conceptual Master Plan for Town
Center Square and the elevations for Building 8, Pet Melxo.
~: On July 27, 1994, the PlanninE Cornrni-~-sion appiuved in concept the eastern half
of Town Center Square shopping center and Best Buy building with the condition that the applicant
submit the Master Plan for further review prior to approving the design review for Building 8. The
areas of concern identified by the Commission at that lime were accr~s, circulation and pedestrian
connection on the western haftof the site, and the landscaping and architecntral program for the
entire site. Attached for the Connmi~qion*s reference an copies of the rninqtes fxom the July 13 and
27, 1994 meetings.
AN~YSIS: This section of the nVort focus on identifying the issues for the Master Plan and the
specific design enrnmt;!lts for Building 8.
A. Master Plan. The proposed M. as~ Plan is essentially the same design as the one reviewed
by the Commission on July 13 and 27, 1994. However, the plan shows a reduction in the
number of buildings fxom 15 to 13 as a result of specific tenants for Buildings 1, 2, and 7
(buildings 5, 6, and 7 are combined). It also shows an increase in the total square footage
fxom 222, 605 to 225, 3 i 6 squan feet. Attached for the Commi-~sion's comparison is a copy
of the Juiy 27, 1994, Conceptual Master Plan.

I. Project entries off Spruce Avenue.
There are two access points from Spruce Avenue, a signalized one at Town Center
Drive and Spruce Avenue and a non-signalized one at the north side of Building 12.
The Commission has questioned the need for the two entries and directed the
applicant to study this issue. At the October 26, 1994, workshop, the applicant stated
that their traffic consultant has studied the issue and recommended retaining the two
access points' as they are needed to service the western half of the project.
STAFF COMMENT: Staff finds the two access points acceptable.
2. Alignment of drive aisle at the west side of the site.
The Commission raised a concern with the alignment of the east/west direction drive
aisle because it creates a "speedway" through the project. The applicant has indicated
that because of the constraints from the signalized Town Center Drive and the size
of Building i, this alignment is the best solution. Another concern raised by the
Commission was the potential traffic conflicts at the 4-way intersection located at the
northeast side of Building 12.
STAFF COMMENT: The Commission should provide direction to the
ap0licam as to~whether the alignment of the northerly east/west direction drive aisle
is acceptable. With regards to the 4 way intersection, staff believes that traffic safety
can be improved by changing it to a T intersection and moving the entry to the
parking area for Building 12 further east. Also provide a continuous 10 foot
minimum landscape planter along the north/south direction drive aisle that leads to
building 1.
3. Pedestrian connection.
The Commission directed the applicant to study and provide design concepts for
pedestrian connection from Term Vista Town Center to Town Center Square, and to
show pedestrian connections linking the buildings within the site. The proposed
Master Plan does not show these pedestrian linkages.
STAFF COMMENT: Provide a series of pedestrian connections and promenades
linking all the buildings within the site, consistent with the theme established in Tetra
Vista Town Center. They are as follows:
a. Pedestrian connection from the west side of Spruce Avenue at Tetra Vista
Town Center eastward to the Town Center Square.

b. A pedesu'ian promenade starting fxom the public sidewalk at the first project
entry off Spruce Avenue eastward to Building 11 and connect with the
central plaza food court.
c. A north/south direction pedestrian promenade between Building 12 and
Building 1.
d. Pedestrian connection fi'om the bus stop at Spruce Avenue and Church Street
southward along Building 1.
e. A pedestrian promenade from Building 14 northwards to Building 7.
4. Landscape and Hardscape Design.
Based on the Commission's desire to have the landscape and harriscape design match
Tetra Vista Town Center, a condition of approval was placed on this center
accordingly. As a result of reviewing the development plans, staff has identified
several issues and concerns that are listed below.
STAFF COMMENT:
a. Provide. approximately the same height and size of palm trees along the
Foothill Boulevard project entry, along the main eas~west direction drive
Aisle, and within the two pla~a~. Use 36 inch box size U'ees for the accent or
focal trees along the project entry and within the plaTa_~.
b. With the completion of phase 1, staff found that the tan color textm'ed scored
concrete in fxont of Best Buy store is acceptable and compatible with Terra
Vista Town Center. However, staff found that the dark grey textured
concrete pavement at project entries is not effective because it blends in with
the asphalL Staff recommends a lighter grey textured concrete and changing
the surface of the accent concrete inset fxom smooth concrete to heavy
exposed aggregate in order to provide for more contnst.
c. The Commission has questioned whether the concentric ring design of the
textured pavement fxom the upper plaza to the main drive aisle and end at the
lower plaza can be seen by the pedestrian. Staff does not object to the design,
however, is concerned with appearance of a red painted curb at the two
plaTa~ transitions to the drive aisle. Staff suggests using a zero curb and
adding decorative bollards at the two phTa~ so that the design is not disrupted
by the red painted curb and at the same time a separation is provided between
the plaTa~ and the drive aisle.

d. Expand the size of the textured pavement on the drive aisle in from of
Buildings 1, 7 and 8. Also, add textured pavement to the portion of the drive
aisle in ~'ont of Best Buy building entry consistent with the rest of the center
and the Terra Vista Town Center. This issue was discussed at previous
workshops but wasn't resolved because of a need to expedite the processing
of Best Buy store. Given the frequency of the textured pavement for titis main
east/west direction drive aisle, staff suggests extending the textured pavement
for the entire length of this main drive aisle.
e. Break-up and soften the expansive hardscape along the shop frontages by
adding tree wells for the palm trees, adding tree wells for pedestrian scale
canopy trees, creating larger areas for landscaping, adding trellises, focal
interest or art piece at key locations.
f. Provide a textured crosswalk at the west side of the Church Street and Elm
Avenue intersection connecting the greenway trail from La Mission Park to
the project, consistent with the Community Plan
5. Foothill Boulevard Streetscape.
The proposed sU'eetscape design is a continuation of the theme established in Terra
Vista Town Center.
S'rAFF COMMENT: Since the approval of Tetra Vista Town Center, the City
adopted, in 1991, the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement for the "missing link"
stretch of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and 1-15. The purpose is to use
special streetscape design provisions to create a unified development scheme for the
Foothill Boulevard corridor. Of prime importance to the FBSP are the slreetscape
design provisions which "tie" together the visual aspects of this commercial madway.
The streetsca~ consists of informal clustering of trees dominated by Sycamores. The
proposed tree palette along Foothill Boulevard has a mix of 60 percent Canmy
Island Pine and 40 percent Sycamore. Staff recommends reversing this percentage
of mix. Also, staff recommends adding clusters of trees within the right-of-way as
well as using one of the median u~e species, R.hus Lance. a, for enhancing the visual
tie.
6. Architecturnl Progrnm.
The applicant has stated that they intend to continue the architectural program of the
Term Vista Town Center. Conceptual elevations for Buildings 5 through 9 (eastern
half of the site) am provided for review; however, they do not reflect the most recent
change where Buildings 5 through 7 are combined to become one building (Barnes
and Noble). The following comments am based on these elevations.
PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
CUP 9349 MOD. & DR 94-19 - WESTERN LAND
November 9, 1994
Page 5
STAFF COMMENT:
a. The conceptual elevations provided contain some of the elements of Terra
Vista Town Center; however, the overall design does not exhibit the same
level of sophistication and derailing. Since the proposed center is planned for
bigger "box" users with minimal in-line retail space, more blank walls will
be created. Therefore these box buildings should have superior treatment to
the building entries, the colonnades and the building wall or plane behind
them, etc.
b. Provide sophisticated design to buildings 7 (building 5 in landscape plan) and
4 where they project an architectural statement. The superior design of these
two buildings together with the design of the plaza between them will create
a destination place.
c. The stepping of the building plane for buildings 1 and 7 (building 5 in
landscape plan) is too deep. Provide architectural ixeaunent to break up this
building plan change and enhance the landscape and hardscape treatment to
create a more pedesuian friendly space.
7. Phasing Plan~..
STAFF COMMENT: The applicant needs to provide a phasing plan for review.
However, staff recommends the following phased improvements:
a. Improvements to be completed with Pet Metro: Foothill Boulevard
landscaping and project entt~ landscaping, Spruce Avenue landscaping, and
the balance of Church SU'eet landscaping, the textux~ pavement within the
portion of drive aisle in ~'ont of Best Buy, and bus shelter on Foothill
Boulevard.
b. Improvements to be completed with Buildings 7 (Barnes & Noble), 3, or 4:
hardscape between Buildings 3 through 7, and the upper and lower central
p!aTa~ including the two art pieces.
c. Improvements to be completed with Building 1 (Home Express) or 2 (Ben
Franklin): bus shelter on Church Street, pedesuian connection fxom Term
Vista Town Center to Town Center Square, and textured crosswalk on west
side of Church Su'eet and Elm Avenue intmeetion cotmeeting the greenway
trail.

B. Pet Metro.
1. Elevations.
a. The transition of Pet Metro and Best Buy buildings (where the two buildings
meet) creates a space that is awkward and unfriendly to pedestrians. Consider
moving the building entry of Pet Metro, adding articulation to the two
building planes, adding architectural elements to the walls, trellis works, etc.
b. Soften the building edge of Best Buy that "juts" out with architectural
elements. This is in addition to the raised planter.
c. The size of the hip roof is not in proportion to the building entry. Ross Store
is a good example.
d. Add corbels underneath the tower eave.
e. Add pre-cast concrete key stone to the tower entry.
f. Provide architectural txe. atment to the secondary entry. Provide additional
architectural elements to the colonnade. Use the uplight and downlight
sconce !i,~ht fixture for the colonnade instead of the half circle uplight sconce
light ~iture.
2. Hardseape.
a. Add two palm tree wells west of the building enuy. Add two accent U'ee wells
at the building enU-y.
b. Use heavy exposed aggregate material for the accent concrete inset.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission provide direction to the
applicant regarding the above identified issues and concerns.

between Spruce. and Elm Avenues - APN: 1077-421-58.
~STRACT: This is the second workshop for the design review of the revised Conceptual Master
Plan for Town Center Square and the revised elevations for Building 8, Pet Melm. This workshop
also includes the design review of elevations for Building 1 (Home Express) and Building 2 (Ben
Franklin Crafts) for the first time.
~: At the workshop on November 9, 1994, the Commission reviewed the revised
conceptual master plan and the ¢lcvationa for Building 8 and directed the applicant to address their
concerns as disc~ at the meetinE. A copy of the mff~-l}ort for that meetinE is atta£hed for your

A. Meter Plan.
1. West side of the site.
The Commission accepted the project entries off Splw~ Avenue and the alignment of
the east/west direction drive aisle. However, the Commission was concerned with the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-49 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
December 14, 1994
Page 2
awkward alignment of the 4-way stop located at the northeast side of Building 12 and
directed the applicant to revise the design. The revised master plan showed a right angle
4-way stop with a continuous 10-foot minimum landscape planter along the north/south
direction drive aisle that leads to Building 1.
STAFF COMMENT: Staff finds this solution acceptable.
2. Pedestrian connection and textured crossing.
The Commission directed the applicant to provide an overall larger scale pedestrian
connection plan that shows the linkages from Terra Vista Town Center to the west side
of Town Center Square. The revised development plans show such a pedestrian
connection plan and a textured crosswalk on Spruce Avenue.
STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds the pedestrian connection plan acceptable with a
recommendation ,that a walkway be provided to connect from the public sidewalk off
Spruce Avenue to the walkway at the 4-way stop northeast of Builcling 12. Also, staff
recommends that the north/south direction pedestrian walkway north of the 4-way stop
be moved closer to the row of parking spaces so that pedestrians do not need to walk on
the landscaping. With regard to the textured crosswalk, staff does not object to a
textured material, but Engineering staff has voiced a concern with the associated
maintenance cos~.' The Community Plan shows a standard crosswalk. for trail
connedtion at the street intersection and a textured crosswalk for a mid-block connection
to the greenway. If the Commission decides on a textured crosswalk, staff recommends
that the applicant develop a hierarchy of textured material for the different types of
crosswalks withill the Commullity Plan.
3. Landscape and bardscape design.
In response to the Commission's direction, a landscape and pedestrian connection plan
for the most westerly pint of the site is provided for review. Also, the harriscape plan for
Buildings 1, 2, and 3 is revised as a result of specific tenant's storefrom design. The
main project entry design (Foothill Boulevard) now shows the tenant identification
monument sign within the landscape median. However, the revised development plans
did not include an overall Conceptual Landscape Plan, the pedestrian nodes, or the
pln~.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Commission conceptually approvod the Best Buy store

pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-49 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
December 14, 1994
Page 3
Buildings 1, 2 and 3, staff has identified the following design issues:
a. Use heavy exposed aggregate surface material for the concrete accent inset along
the storefront to provide more contrast to the smooth integral colored concrete.
The heavy exposed aggregate material is used in the Terra Vista Town Center.
b. Add a row of canopy pedestrian-scale trees along the rows of palm trees at the
Spruce Avenue signalized entry.
c. Add one concrete accent inset for the main building entry of Building 1.~
d. Add two canopy pedestrian scale trees to the west side of Building 2.~-
e. Use a tree species that can withstand shade within the raised planter located at the
east side of Building 2 since there is a trellis above it.
f. Building 8. Add one concrete accent inset in front of the second building entry. -
Add one tree at the east side of the colonnade.
4. Foothill Boulevard Streetscape.
At the work.shop ~! November 9, 1994, staff recommended a 60 percent Sycamore and
40 pe~ent Canary Island Pine mix of the tree palette along Foothill Boulevard and
adding one of the median t~e species, Rhus Lancea, within the righi-of-my to
implement the Foothill Boulevard i~sign Supplement. The applicant has requested to
continue the streetscape theme established in Tetra Vista Tom Center, which is a mix
of 40 percent Sycamore and 60 percent Canary Island Pine. The direction of the
Commission was to review the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement prior to
determining the percentage mix of the tree palette.
STAFF COMMENT: This issue is scheduled for a separate workshop tonight with a
5. Architectural Program.
The Commission did not review the conceptual elevations for Buildings 5 through 9 at
the last wortcshop because of lime constraints. Ho~h.-ver, forthis workshop the applicant
has provided conceptual elevations for Buildings I and 2 instead of Buildings 5 through
9. The following comments are based on reviewing these elevations.
STAFF COMMENTS:
a. Since the north elevation of Building 1 is subject to public view from Church
Street, staff recommend~ additional architectural treatments as follows: add
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 9349 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
December 14, 1994
Page 4
embellishments to the east side of the north elevation and add pre-cast concrete
molding and metal trellis with the tile medallion to the west side of the north
elevation similar to the ones on the west elevation.
b. Add molding around the diamond-shaped tile inset on the north and west elevation
of the tower element for Building 1.
c. Add the same pre-cast concrete molding with metal trellis and tile medallion
element to the north side of the west elevation of Building 1.
d. The south elevation of Building 1 is acceptable, however, the raised planters at the
east side of the building should have a tile wainscot consistent with the ones at the.
Best Buy store.
e. Add architectural treatment to the north elevation and the north side of the east
elevation of Building 2.
f. The south elevation of Building 2 is accelY, able. Consider having two lines of sign
copy so that the tenant sign is within the two expansion joinl/reveal lines.
g. Provide the storefront design behind the colonnade. The blank wall behind the
colonnade ne. xts to be architecturally U'eated.
h. Since Building 2 will be conslructed before Building 3, provide a proper
architectural treaunent or transition to the the south side of the east elevation.
B. Pet Metro.
1. Elevations. At the work.shop on November 9, 1994, the applicant provided revised
elevations at the meeting that address almost all of staffs comments except the eaves
details. The applicant has revised the details to show a larger cornice treaunent (from 1
foot to 1.5 feet).
STAFF COMMENT: Staff finds the elevation acceptable.
2. Signs. The applicant is requesting approval ofsigns forthe tenant. Pet Meffo proposes
two signs, one primary and one secondary. The primary sign is located at the main
building entry and consists of the words "Pet Men'o" with a metropolis graphic design
behind the individual letters and secondary words of "the ultimate pet metropolis". The
sign dimensions are 5.5 feet by 35 feet with a sign area of 192.5 square feet. The colors
are red letters with blue uim for Pet Meffo, white letters with blue background for the
additional words; and yellow and blue for the graphics. The secondary sign consists of
individual letters ~for the words "Pet Hospiud." The sign dimensions are 2 feet by 20 feet
with a sign area of 40 square feet. The color is white.

STAFF COMMENT: The Commission conditionally approved a Uniform Sign
Program for Town Center Square on October 26, 1994. Pet Meuo falls under the criteria
of Sign Type I, Major Users (5,000 to 49,999 square feet). One wall sign per building
enlry and a sign dimension of 2 feet by 24 feet is allowed. However, a provision of Sign
Type I also allows an increase in the letter size if the sign is included as part of the design
for the building elevations, subject to Design Review approval. Staff finds the 3.5 foot
letter size for the words "Pet Metro" wi~holat the wanhies behind it and without the
12ill;llle~$~lll[i~g is acceptable. The secondary sign, as proposed, is acceptable.
C. Phasing plan.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Commission did not review the phasing plan at the last
workshop because of time constraints. Staff recommends the following phased
improvements as previously stated:
1) Improvements to be completed with Building 8 (Pet Metro): Foothill Boulevard
landscaping and project enlry landscaping, Spruce Avenue landscaping, the balance
of the Church Slx~eet landscaping, and the bus shelter on Foothill Boulevard.
2) Improvements to be completed with Buildings 7 (Barnes & Noble), 3, or 4:
harriscape ~.~ Buildings 3 through 7, and the upper and lower central
including thttlwo art piaces.
3) Improvements to be completed with Building I (Home Express) or 2 (Ben
Franklin): bus shelter on Church Slxeet, pedestrian connection fi'om Tetra Vista
Town Center to Town Center Square, and crosswalk on west side of Church Street
and Elm Avenue intersection connecting the gn~enway trail.

· See Background section for discussion of Variance application
BACK6ROUND
A. Variance Application: On August 10, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a Variance
request to reduce the side yard setback from 5 feet to zero, to reduce the rear yard setback from
15 feet to zero, and to reduce the required number of parking spaces. The side yard setback
could have been met along the east property line but the Commission felt it was better to
provide the backing area for the parking stalls and the paved area would serve as notice to the
adjoining property owner that future access will be provided at this location. The rear setback
requirement provides the applicant the opportunity to provide the drive aisle at the rear of the
property, thus allowing access to all of the structures. The ultimate plan for the block calls for
the sharing of the drive aisle between the subject property and the properties to the north upon
their conversion to commercial/other uses. For this reason, the Commission approved the
setback reduction. The Commission did, however, require that a decorative block wall be
required along the north property line to help buffer the existing residential uses.
The third Variance approved by the Commission was the reduction in parking spaces required
for the site. Originally, the applicant was proposing a 1,396 square foot cafe to accompany the
residential conversions. This would have resulted in a parking deficiency of 8 parking spaces.
Upon further review, the applicant determined that the 1,396 square foot cafe would not make
the project economically feasible and requested that the cafe be expanded to 1,600 square feet.
Because of the unique nature of the site, the intensity of use anticipated for the buildings, and
the future plans for development of the entire block as commemial, the CommiSsion approved
the reduction of parking spaces to allow the 1,600 square foot cafe.
B. Landmark Designation Application: Also on August 10, 1994, the Historic Preservation
Commission considered a Landmark Application to designate the four single family residences
as local landmarks. While individually the structures do not represent a significant
architectural contribution, the Commission determined the cluster of homes derive their
significance from the setting and context in which they are located. This block represents one
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 93-15 - CAMPOS
January 11, 1995
Page 3
of the last remaining tracts of housing from the 1910s and 1920s that has not been demoli shed
and a remnant of "Old Cucamonga." In addition, this area was within the sphere of influence
of John Klusman, a prominent local businessman. The Landmark status was affirmed by the
City Council on October 5, 1994.
Because the houses were designated as local landmarks, the applicant is processing a
Landmark Alteration Permit with this application. The Landmark Alteration Permit will allow
construction of the various improvements (ramps, parking, landscape, hardscape, etc.) needed
to bring the houses up to current code requirements for commercial use.
ANALYSIS
A. General: The applicant is proposing to demolish an abandoned diner, construct a 1,600 square
foot cafe, and convert four single family residences to commercial uses. Access to the site will
be provided from a drive approach located between the new cafe and the easterly residence.
This will be the only access point to Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman
Avenues. A drive aisle will be provided along the northern portion of the site for access to all
parcels. At present, the entire drive aisle will be located on the applicant's property. Future
plans call for the drive aisle to be shifted northerly and shared with the properties to the north
upon their development. The drive aisle will extend from the parcels fronting Archibald to
Klusman Avenue.
As part of the development, the applicant will be rehabilitating the residences, widening
Foothill Boulevard, and installing landscape and hardscape improvements consistent with the
Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) activity center designation. Paving (concrete and
pavers) will extend from the curb to the building fronts. Trees will be planted within tree wells
at staggered spacings of 15 feet. Street furniture (e.g. benches, light fixtures, etc.) will be
provided. Details of the furniture will be reviewed with staff prior to building permit issuance
to ensure consistent application within the Foothill corridor.
In order to meet accessibility requirements, the applicant will be adding ramps to all the
residences. Depending on the grade separation between the finish floor and the parking area,
the ramps will vary from sloped concrete to wood structures. The ramps are located primarily
at the rear of the buildings, in close proximity to the parking area.
B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher, Coleman) reviewed the
application most recently on December 20, 1994. The Committee recommended approval of
the application subject to the following conditions:
1. Special attention should be given to the restoration of the units to ensure accuracy of
materials and details and quality workmanship.
2. The fountain at the northwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and the entrY drive should be
replaced with a decorative light fixture consistent with the east side of the drive aisle.

3. One additional trash enclosure should be provided on the west side ofthe project.
4. The sidewalk between Houses No. 1 and 2 should be straight.
5. Consistent stucco treatment should be provided on the cafe. A material sample board
should be provided for Planning Commission review.
6. Chimneys should be provided on Houses No. 3 and 4, consistent with the original design.
C. Technical Review Committee: During the Technical Review Committee meeting, staff
requested the applicant to contact Caltrans about the improvements required for the widening
of Foothill Boulevard. The applicant's engineer met with Caltrans and was informed that the
current cross-section standard for Foothill Boulevard is 46 feet from median to curb. Dual lef~
turn lanes are planned for the Archibald intersection, which would place the north curb about
2 feet south of the historic Rotae 66 gas station canopy to the east of the subject property.
Since the outside travel lane will be 20 feet wide, the Engineering Division is not
recommending a right turn lane for the project driveway to allow preservation of the historic
gas station canopy when the property develops.
The proposed project driveway is being described as "interim." An ultimate relocation plan
has been included as Exhibit "D." The ultimate driveway plan will only be implemented if
redevelopment affecting the entire block occurs at some future date. A recorded agreement to
relocate the access will alert future property owners that the currently approved driveway is not
in its optimum location.
The applicant will be making a contribution in lieu of construction for the Foothill Boulevard
median. In the meantime, staff is requiring that Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and
Klusman Avenues be restriped to allow only right turns for the driveways on that block.
D. Tree Removal Permit Application: In conjunction with the Development Review application,
the applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit application requesting the removal of a
number of trees within the site boundaries. Many of these trees are located within areas of
future improvement required by the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. An arborist report has
been prepared for the site and identifies 22 trees within the project boundaries (see Exhibit "F"
for locations). Of these 22 trees, 11 are suggested for removal. These include 6 fruit trees
which are exempt from permit requirements by the Tree Preservation Ordinance. The
remaining 5 trees consist of a cedar and 4 ash. As required by ordinance; conditions of
approval will require replacement trees to be of comparable size or the largest nursery grown
stock available.
The arborist report also suggest the relocation of 4 trees elsewhere on the site. While Tree No.
10, a persimmon, is exempt from the Tree Preservation Ordinance, the arborist is
recommending its relocation because of it excellent condition. Staff concurs with the
recommendation and has included a condition of approval requiring the tree's relocation.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 93-15 - CAMPOS
January 11, 1995
Page 5
The remaining 7 trees are recommended for retention. The trees would be protected in place
during construction. While the arborist has recommended retention of Trees No. 2 and 5, staff
has concerns about the feasibility of retaining these large trees given the street and parkway
improvements that will be installed with the project. The ultimate curb will be approximately
5 feet from the base of the trees. Also, the normal parkway design for the activity center calls
for the use of concrete and pavers with trees in tree wells. Previous experience indicates that
improvements will remove too much of their root system for survival. Staff has included a
condition of approval requiring the applicant to replace the trees with the largest nursery grown
stock available.
E. Environmental Assessment: In completing Part II of the Initial Study, staff identified the loss
of the mature trees and the impact to historic/cultural resources as potential environmental
impacts. Conditions of approval have been included in the Resolution for the replacement of
trees to be removed. Also, the applicant will be restoring the houses and converting them to
commercial uses. The historic resources will not be lost but rather restored and adapted to
commercial use. The historic/cultural value of these structures will be retained for the
community. With the inclusion of these conditions, staff recommends amitigated Negative
Declaration be adopted for the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development
Review 93-15 through adoption of the attached Resolution and issue a mitigated Negative
Declaration for the project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 94-04, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF
p~a~KING SPACES FROM 36 TO 25, TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED REAR
YkRD 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 MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN:
208-153-08, 09, 10, 11, AND 23.
A. Recitals.
1. Ana 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 and
the 10th day of August 1994, the Planning Co~nission 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 0f 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 Co~mission
during the above-referenced public hearing on July 13, July 27, and August 10,
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 care; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated
for con=nercial 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 out-of-use, potentially historic 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. 94-72
VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS
August 10, 1994
Page 2
c. The applicant proposes the demolition of the existing cafe,
the construction of a new oaf e, and the conversion of the existing single
family residences to commercial or office uses for a total of 6,567 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 Estacia 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
llnes; 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
3. The residences north of the subject site are located at the
northern portion of their respective lots separated from 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 ~he formulation of the Foothill Boulevard specific Plan,
the City recognized the potentia~ 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. 94-72

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 tripe 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 Sectlon 15061(b)(3). The Planning co~mission,
having final approval over this project, has reviewed and considered this
exemption prlor to the approval of this project.
