VICINITY MAP /~To& S.F. fir CITY HALL CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT September 13, 1995 Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission Brad Buller, City Planner Scott Murphy, AICP, Associate Planner MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 9346 - FLORES - A Resolution of denial of a request to modify the approved site plan and certain conditions of approval for a previously approved gas station and mini-market in the Community Commercial designation (Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue - APN: 208-192-06 and 07. BACKGROUND: On August 23, 1995, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider modifications to the approved site plan and conditions of approval for the gas station and mini-market application. The modifications requested would have eliminated the requirement for improvements across the front of the Red Hill Liquor Store site, including both on-site and off-site improvements. After receiving testimony on the application, the Commission determined that the improvements should not be deleted for the following reasons: Widening of Foothill Boulevard is necessary to provide greater safety for vehicles entering the site from Foothill Boulevard. The widening creates, in essence, a right- turn pocket so vehicles entedng the site would be out of the normal travel lanes. The combination of the three ddve approaches on the Red Hill Liquor Store and In- N-Out Burger sites into one drive approach is necessary to better control access to Foothill Boulevard and minimize turning conflict of vehicles entering or exiting the site. The parking lot and landscape improvements are necessary to bring the Liquor Store site into greater conformity with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan requirements. As a result, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a Resolution of Denial to return to the Commission for their adoption. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-46 - FLORES September 13, 1995 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: A Resolution denying the modifications 'to Conditional Use Permit 93-46 is attached for your adoption. BB:SM:mlg Attachment: Resolution of Denial RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-46, A REQUEST TO MODIFY THE APPROVED SITE PLAN AND CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED GAS STATION AND MINI-MARKET IN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION OF THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN (SUBAREA 2) OF THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND VINEYARD AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 208-192-06 AND 07. A. Recitals. 1. Art and Diana FIores have filed an application for a modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 93-46, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On July 27, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 93-46, subject to certain conditions, through adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 94-67. 3. On August 23, 1995, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public headng on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1.. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public headng on August 23, 1995, 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 the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue with a street frontage of 140 feet along Foothill Boulevard and 155 feet along Vineyard Avenue and is presently vacant; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated for commercial uses and is developed with a retail center. The property to the south is designated for residential uses and is developed with a residential condominium project. The property to the east is designated for commercial uses and is developed with a liquor store. The property to the west is designated for commercial uses and is vacant; and c. The development of the gas station and mini-market is consistent with the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and the Commercial designation of the General Plan; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. CUP 93-46 - FLORES September 13, 1995 Page 2 d. The application contemplates acquisition of right-of-way across the frontage; of the Red Hill Liquor Store site. The ability to initiate proceedings to acquire the right-of-way rests solely with the City Council. Should the City Council decide not to initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire the right-of-way, the application would result in the following: i. The odginal approval required the combination of the three ddve approaches on the Red Hill Liquor Store and In-N-Out Burger sites into one approach on the Liquor Store site. The combination of these drive approaches results in safer vehicular movements and greater access controls to Foothill Boulevard. Elimination of these requirements will result in the continuation of unsafe, uncontrolled turning movements, posing a threat to public safety; and ii. The odginal approval required the widening of Foothill Boulevard across the front of the gas station and liquor store sites. This widening created, in effect, a right turn lane for vehicles entering the subject site. This widening will allow the vehicles to pull out of the travel lanes, thereby creating safer access to the site; and e. The original application, together with the attached conditions of approval, complies with the standards of the Development Code. Elimination of the frontage improvements across the Red Hill Liquor Store site will result in a project which does not meet the requirements of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the July 27, 1994, and the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. b. The proposed use does not comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby denies the application 5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 1995. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: E.

Bid<el BickegUnd~ Planning 36(X) Birch St. #220 Newport Beach, CA. 92660 Re: Proposed Parcel/Price Costco Foothill Marketplace Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Dear Jim: Upon reviewing your site layout for the proposed retail building I have a couple of questions and/or comments, they are as follows: What is the propex set back requirement needed to the east property line. I believe you will need a no build easement from us. We will be hesitant to grant this easement if it in any way effects our ability to build our gas station as design. You show that being parked per city code, however, the parking requirements for this project are based on the recorded C,C, &R's. With this in mind you are under parked by four (4) stall., How high is this building? I believe that this parcel request will require the modification of the C,C, & R's that involves both Fc>othill Marketphce Partners and Wal*Man. ' I may have additional cogtents once I see a complete set of plans, so I will hold final comments until then. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call, SEP 07 '95 12:00 TO 7149876499 FROM THE WATTSON COMPANY T-929 P. 03 Mr, James S. Blckel Page 2 September 5, 199.5 Sincerely, Gregory A.

BACKGROUND: In August of 1991, the City approved plans for Foothill Marketplace, a 62-acre, 550,000 square foot, commercial retail center. The Master Plan for the center identified the location of Price Club, WaI-Mart, tenant space within the eastern and western phases, and free- standing pads along the Foothill street frontage. Since that time. the majodty of the center has been completed. Most of the free-standing pads have not been completed. On April 12, 1995, the Planning Commission conducted a Pre-application workshop to consider a McDonald's proposed for this site. In reviewing the request, the Commission expressed concern that the application contemplated too intense a development on too small a parcel. The Commission also expressed concern about existing traffic/circulation issues at the center and about locating any building on this site, not just the McDonald's facility. ANALYSIS: General: The applicant is proposing to construct a 5,040 square foot retail building along the Foothill Boulevard street frontage, at the north end of the Price Club site. The building is designed with elements consistent with the commercial center including barrel tile roof materials, pre-cast columns and cornice detailing, and consistent color treatment. A majority ofthe existing parking area will be used forthe new building. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 95-18 - PRICE COSTCO September 13, 1995 Page 2 Design Review Committee: On August 1, 1995, the Design Review Committee (Barker, Lumpp, Fong) reviewed the application and stated'that no further review of the application should be conducted until the on-site traffic circulation issues are resolved. The Committee presented the applicant with a sketch depicting a four-way intersection for the westerly entry drive (see attached). While they did not require, the design to match the sketch, the Committee recommended that a design comparable to the sketch should be evaluated by a traffic engineer to determine the levsl of congestion relief provided by the redesign. The Committee agreed that if the on-.site traffic circulation was adequately addressed, a building would be considered at this location. The Committee indicated the applicant should continue to work with staff on the architectural details of the buildings and the application should return to the Committee for additional review. On August 15, 1995, the applicant provided revised plans for additional review by the Design Review Committee. The Committee (Barker, Lumpp, Fong) reviewed plans that included the relocation of the drive aisle to create a four-way intersection south of In-N-Out Burger, a right-tum lane for northbound traffic turning onto the east-west drive aisle, a right-turn lane for traffic along the east-west drive aisle exiting to the westerly project drive aisle, and the addition of a right-turn lane for inbound traffic from the signalized project entry. The Committee recommended approval of the revised plans subject to the following conditions: The right-turn only lane at the westerly intersection should be revised to discourage southbound traffic from using it as a short cut. The revision should consider, but is not limited to, the installation of a raised median in the entry drive, traffic control signage, and the drive angled to direct flows in a more northedy direction. 2. The cones should be removed from the front of the Price Club building to open up the secondary circulation drive across the front of the building. The trash/delivery tum out should be reviewed by the traffic engineer' to determine if modifications are necessary to provide easier access for trucks. so as not to block through circulation or line-of-sight. A service door should be provided on the east elevation instead of the south elevation so patrons of the building will not park in the turn out thinking they will have quick access into the building. Some windows on the east elevation should be removed in anticipation of a building being located on the west side of the adjoining pad. This new building would block the proposed building and would result in the windows looking out onto the back of a building. The windows at the northern portion of the east elevation should be retained. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 95-18 - PRICE COSTCO September 13, 1995 Page 3 6. The tubular steel grill at the tower element should be revised from a vertical pattern to a sunburst pattern. The landscape island in the middle of the parking area should be designed with a specimen tree surrounded by hardscape. The use of groundcover is discouraged because of anticipated foot and vehicular traffic through this area. Most of the recommended conditions have been incorporated into the revised plans for the Commission's consideration. On-site Circulation: As part of the application, the applicant submitted a revised traffic study to address circulation concerns within the canter. The engineer also reviewed the drive alignment to determine the impact on the existing and future traffic conditions. Based upon the plan review, the traffic engineer recommended the following improvements to the circulation system: 1. The two "T" intersections south of In-N-Out should be redesigned into a four-way intersection. The northbound drive aisle at the four-way intersection should include a right- turn lane. A right-tum/merge lane should be provided for westbound traffic at the four-way intersection. A right-turn lane should be provided to allow traffic entering the site at the signalized intersection to turn onto the east-west ddve aisle. This right-turn lane will require the cooperation of the adjacent property owner, Foothill Marketplace Partners, because the dght turn lane proposed straddles the property line. The recommendations suggested by the traffic engineer have been incorporated into the revised plans provided to the Planning Commission. D.

Specific Plan - Office West Partially developed with medical offices, vacant/rerra Vista Planned Community - Hospital & Related Facilities, Office (MHO) IT~4SD&E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 95~01B - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 2 B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) North - Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) South - Industrial Park East Office, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West Commercial, Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) C. Site Characteristics: The site encompasses approximately 66.5 acres of undeveloped land bounded on the south by Foothill Boulevard and on the east by Rochester Avenue. The northern and western boundaries are contiguous undeveloped land. The site is generally level and slopes from north to south at approximately 2 percent. The soil conditions are stable and the site is covered with grasses, shrubs and mature Eucalyptus trees along Foothill Boulevard. A small earthen swale exists along Foothill Boulevard and another crosses the site west to east collecting site runoff and depositing it in a basin at the southeast comer of the property. There are no structures on the site or any apparent use taking place. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has reviewed the Initial Study, Part I and completed l~he Environmental Checklist, Part II of the Initial Study, and has found no significant adverse environmental impacts will occur because of the proposed land use amendments. Potential impacts, determined not to be significant, include the following: A. Traffic: A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was developed by the applicant's traffic consultant and reviewed by the City's Traffic Section and the San Bemardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) for conformity with the County Congestion Management Plan. SANBAG completed the initial review and has forwarded correction comments to the applicant's traffic consultant. As of the writing of this report, the amended study was not available for SANBAG and City review. Staff recommendation on the environmental analysis cannot, therefore, be offered until the study is completed and approved by City Traffic and SANBAG staff. B. ~: The land use change was expected to increase the air emissions (from vehicle trips) due to development of the site for total retail activities above that expected from tile approved office/retail mix. However, because of a high emissions baseline resulting from automobile sales, as currently authorized on part of the site, the proposed retail commercial center, without auto sales, actually lowers the anticipated emission levels. LAND USE ANALYSIS: ApPropriateness of the existing designation: There is little existing commercial development in this area of Foothill Boulevard. The MOC (Mixed uses, commercial, office, residential) designation calls for the combination of listed uses with office to the western portion, multiple family residential in the northern part, and commercial activities in the eastern portion. These uses relate well, as provided for in the Terra Vista Community Plan text, to the remainder of the plan area and generally to the surrounding areas outside the planned community. Staff foresees no inherent problems with allowing the existing land use designation to remain as currently adopted. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 95-01B - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 3 Need and appropriateness of additional retail commercial uses in the area and within the specific site: The request to significantly increase the amount of commercial development on the site over what is presently authorized (MOC) requires a general plan amendment. Locationally, with the approved Masi project across the street, the vacant commercial designated land east of Rochester, and the relative location to the nearby residential development, staff concurs with the applicant that the site is generally well suited for the intended uses. The General Plan provides, "Community shopping centers shall be encouraged to provide residents with a greater range of services and merchandise than found in the neighborhood commercial level." Although the proposed commercial portion, at 47 acres, is under the limit of the area (50 acres) criterion established in the General Plan for community commercial, the proposed center does exceed the suggested upper building area limitation of 300,000 square feet for community commercial sites. However, the anticipated uses at this location conform with those listed in the community commercial provisions. As with General Plan Amendment 94-01A, which was approved last year at the northeast comer of Foothill and Spruce, the question of the need for additional commercial land in the City has been addressed. The market and economic study provided for General Plan Amendment 94-01A included the analysis of this site and the recommendations for the Foothill/Spruce site were applicable to the Foothill/Rochester site. The conclusions of that report provided sufficient information to recommend additional commercial acreage as requested. The applicant requested that the study, as it did include the site in question, be applied to the review market analysis questions in this application. Since the study is over a year old, staff requested that it be revisited by the consultant and updated as appropriate to reflect the most current trends. An updated evaluation was submitted that contained the more current economic data (1992, 1994, & 1995 figures) from SCAG, US Government, and phvate data vendors. This new review provides the following information: Because of the Ontado Mills Center's significantly greater market area, it is believed "that .at most 10 percent of the facility's space -- or 200,000 square feet - will be effective within Rancho Cucamonga itself." In the Terra Vista area the vacancy rate has increased to 7.7 percent (up from 4.9 per cent in 1994) for the DSTM (department stores, apparel, furniture, home furnishing, appliance, etc.) square footage. "Much of this vacant space... was either leased or in the lease negotiation stage although it appeared vacant." The consultant states that the increased vacancy rate merely reflects the "new additions of space" in the Terra Vista area. In addition, the consultant had a strong belief that the Kmart site will be recycled to a non retail commercial use (possibly governmental) and therefore its vacancy need not be viewed as added commercial space inventory. Staff believes that retail use for the building is still more viable that other use alternatives. Based on trade area population and expenditure per capita, the DSTM and Home Center expenditure potentials are expected to continue to grow significantly (60 percent for DSTM - 2010). Updated data indicates that the net leakage in the DSTM category PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 95-01B - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 4 has been reduced to about $184.5 ($191.6 million -1994) million and increased in the Home Centers to about $55 million ($11.9 million -1994) from the 1994 report. Much ofthis change can be attributed to significantly updated information. Staff does believe that the trade area population estimate of 280,000 is high and therefore might present a brighter economic picture that really exists. The study concludes "The population growth taking place in the Rancho Cucamonga area has produced a market which is increasingly regional in scale." Further, the "current evaluation shows on a very conservative basis the continuing need for significant additional DSTM and Home Center Space in Rancho Cucamonga." This updated analysis is consistent with the economic study provided for the "Best Buy" application (General Plan Amendment 94-01A) last year which essentially verities the current need for additional commercial development in the community. C, APproPriateness of hiah density residential uses in the area and within the specific site: The current Terre Vista Community Plan allows for 342 to 589 units on 28.7 acres on this site. An estimate of 460 to 576 units is provided for the remaining portion of the site not aliaca'led for the shopping center. VVhile the density increases, the total unit count will remain essentially the same or be reduced because of less land allocated for residential use. The residential complex, when proposed, will undoubtedly exhibit a more compact and dense urban design than would be expected under the present land use allowances. A High density area is provided to the northwest of the site that would provides for continuation of density and design characteristics in the immediate area (see Exhibit "B"). D. Alternate land uses: Commercial (General) - This designation, provides a wide range of use activities oriented to provide more local commercial services. VVhile no size limitation is listed in the General Plan, those areas so designated to date are not of the size and scope of the proposed retail center. Medium (8-14 dwelling units/acre) - At the medium designation the site could only be authorized 130 to 270 units, a substantial decrease in the current provisions. A significantly less dense and more open design would result. Medium-High (14-24 dwelling units/acre) - This designation would allow for a range between 231 and 463 units. Again a less dense and more open design would result when compared to the proposed land use density. With existing and proposed community plan development standards, both Medium and Medium-High projects could be designed to be compatible with the proposed shopping center. COMMUNITY PLAN TEXT CHANGES: Because of the changes in the land use, vadous graphics and text need to be modified as they pertain to the site. Many of the changes proposed are based on the discussions and directions from previous Commission's design workshops on the Conditional Use Permit. The proposed graphics and text changes are summarized below: PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 95-01B - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 5 A. Add buffering criteria between residential and commercial uses,in Chapter III as shown in Exhibit "A" of the attached proposed Ordinance. Modify Figure IV-23, Greenway System Design Features, where the Type E trail is moved to the north side of Poplar Drive and a Type B trail is proposed along Rochester Avenue between Poplar Drive and Foothill Boulevard. Add design guidelines, consisting of text and graphics, in areas of Site Planning and Pedestrian Network, Landscape Treatment, and Foothill Boulevard Centers Concept as shown in Exhibit "A" of the attached proposed Ordinance. D= Various graphics changes to reflect the change in land use as shown in Exhibit "A" of the attached proposed Ordinance. Corrections to the text, as provided, should include the following: All of the Gateways indicated on Church Street, with the exceptions of those on Haven and Rochester, should be moved to Foothill Boulevard on the respective cross streets, (Figure IV-64, Page IV-49), These locations are consistent with the current Terra Vista Community Plan dated Apdl 1990 and including the most recently approved Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment dated July 1994, The Gateways description on Page IV-50 should remain essentially as written in the current Terra Vista Community Plan. Type II gateways should only be referenced for Church Street at Haven and at Rochester (as indicated on Figure IV-64). 3. Figure 111-16 and Figure 111-17 should be amended to include regional as well as Citywide bus stop locations. FACTS FOR FINDING: Based on the facts and conclusions listed above, staff believes the Planning Commission can make the following facts for findings regarding these applications: The properties are suitable for the uses allowed in the proposed land use and development distdct designation in terms of access and size, as evidenced by the site's location within the boundaries of an existing mixed use community plan, on Foothill Boulevard, the City's pdmary commercial arterial, and in near proximity to existing and proposed commercial recreation development; and, The proposed amendments would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties as evidenced by the findings and conclusions of the Initial Environmental Study that indicated that no significant impacts would be expected as a result of this land use change; and, C= The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan and Development Code due to the site's capacity to promote the goals and objectives for community commercial development. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 95-01B - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 6 CORRESPONDENCE: These items have been advertised as a public ~neadng in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all prop,.=rty owners within 300 feet of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Because of the lack of a completed traffic impact analysis, staff canno1:, at this time, recommend approval of a Negative Declaration for these applications. Therefore, it is recommended that the items be continued to the next regularly schedule meeting, 1995, in anticipation of the completion of the environmental analysis. If the TIA is satisfactorily completed, indicating no significant traffic impacts, then the issuance of a Negative Declaration would be appropriate.

Hoxworth Executive Director of Commercial Development Lewis Homes Management Corp. 1156 N. Mountain Ave. Upland, California 91785 JUN 7 1995 City ot Rancho Cucamonga planning Division Re; Research Update; Market Support For New Retail Space; Rancho Cucamonga, California Dear Mr. Hoxworth: Pursuant with your recent request, our group has reviewed our pdor analyses regarding the extent of market support in Rancho Cucamonga (prepared in 1993 and 1994) to develop a current indication of the market area's need for additional retail space. This new evaluation has become necessary as a result of your rezoning request for the site of the planned Term Vista Promenade at the N/~N/C of Rochester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga. This center will be of the strip type and include an estimated 450,000 square feet of leasable area. Key tenants will include Kinart and Home Depot. A major portion of the space will be of the DSTM* type while the Home Depot outlet will primarily merchandise home center goods. This evaluation has, accordingly, been focused on these two key retail categories. The present evaluation included the preparation of updated population projection data based on 1994 and 1995 information supplied by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and 1994 income estimates by census tract from Claritas/NPDC - a private data vendor. This data afforded an indication of the present level of retail demand in the market area. Similarly, development of additional retail space since the last studies were completed -- including the planned Ontado Mills shopping facility - were also factored into the updated retail supply calculations. Background. RDR's most recent Rancho Cucamonga market evaluation was completed in March, 1994. The evaluation indicated that Rancho Cucamonga's retail facilities continued to be not able to meet the retail demands created by the community's relatively rapid rate of population growth. This growth pace is reflected by a projected population gain of neady 55,000 persons in the immediate Rancho Cucamonga vicinity alone during the ten year time frame between 1990 and 2000. The last evaluation indicated that locally generated expenditure potential exceeded sales in all key retail Categories with especially significant variances in those categories oriented to comparison shopping. In particular, the important DSTM category lost °DSTM includes department and discount store facilities; catalog outlets; apparel and accessories operators; furniture, home furnishings, floor coverings, and appliance stores; and miscellaneous shopping goods (toy, hobby, card, gift, book, office supply, sporting good, luggage, jewelry, and the like) facilities. j~realh/aeveiopment research, inc. Mr. Gregory N. Hoxworth Page 2 June 22,1995 a very significant 65% of its expenditure potential to locations outside the immediate Rancho Cucamonga area. DSTM facilities are especially significant to shopping center facilities because of the presence of stores of this type in all types of shopping facilities -- including both the Ontario Mills complex and the subject Tetra Vista Promenade center currently planned by Lewis Homes. The lesser representation of DSTM facilities in Rancho Cucamonga and the consequent loss of a significant portion of the locally generated DSTM expenditure potential results in a variety of costs to the community including a lower level of collected real estate taxes, greater required driving distances for the purchase of goods and services, and lower levels of local employment. It is noted that the type of employment most often connected with retail facilities typically augments a family's income and/or provides work for younger persons who are often underemployed. For these reasons, an adequate retail space inventory is important as an enhancer of the quality of life in a community. Changes in the Rancho Cucamonga Market Area'e Compethjve Alignment. Since the! last evaluation a number of developments have occurred or been announced which ~ill impact the area's competitive make-up. The most significant event since the last report was completed was the announcement of the planned opening of the near 2.0 million square foot Ontario Mills project to be situated at the N/W/C of the intersection of 1-15 and 1-10 in Ontario. This promotional enclosed mall facility has been granted all its necessary public approvals and is scheduled to begin operation in late 1996. The market area for a Mills-type center is geographically very extensive -- far larger than the immediate Rancho Cucamonga area. On this basis, it is believed that at most 10% of the facility's space -* or 200,000 square feet -- will be effective within Rancho Cucamonga itself. The market area also includes 145,000 square feet of space connected with the new Terra Vista Square facility - the property evaluated in RDR's last study of this market:. If additions to other centers in Rancho Cucamonga are accounted for, including Central Park Plaza and Tetra Vista Town Center, a total of 185,000 square feet has been addred to the space inventory since the last study was completed. Approximately 100,000 square feet of space, moreover, are planned to be added to these existing centers. It is noted that this area does not include pad space which is most often geared to restaurant and automotive users. The only other known change in the area's retail alignment is the planned relocation of a Kmart outlet from Haven Avenue south of Foothill to the property under consideration in this evaluation. The existing Kmart space will probably be utilized for a non-retail use based on its proximity to an area of governmental and office use. Thus, only about 30,000 square feet of new space will be added to the space inventory. Thus, an additional estimated 330,000 square feet are planned in the near future including the Ontario Mills and the incremental Kinart space outlined above. See Table 1 for details. qrealty aevelo~ment research. inc. Mr. Gregory N. Hoxworth Page 3 June 22, 1995 As a result of the recent addition of new space to existing facilities, the level of vacancy has increased by about 20,000 square feet since our last evaluation. This change has resulted in a somewhat higher vacancy percentage - 7.7% at the present time versus about 4.9% in the last evaluation. The current level is still relatively low and when the newness of the recently built space is taken into account, it is a very acceptable level since much of it will be absorbed in the near term future. Table 1 provides further details regarding the above discussed vacancy changes. Rancho Cucamonga Trade Area Definition and Population Trend. The Rancho Cucamonga trade area is made up of a Primary zone which is roughly coterminous with the City of Rancho Cucamonga as well as a Secondary zone which includes primarily the Fontaria area to the east of Rancho Cucamonga and 1-15. The attached map highlights the Rancho Cucamonga trade area definition. The latest SCAG population estimates and projections indicate that the defined trade area has a 1995 population of somewhat less than 280,000 persons. By the year 2000 this level is expected to increase to just under 315,000. Further, these levels are projected to increase to about 356,000 and nearly 400,000 in 2005 and 2010, respectively. Thus, during the fifteen year planning period, a trade area increase of about 120,000 persons can be anticipated. Population gain in the Primary zone will also be significant. 1995 population is nearly 200,000. These levels are expected to increase to about 225,000, 258,000, and 292,000, respectively. Of the total population increase, over 90,000 persons will reside in the Primary zone. While these levels of increase are substantial, they, nevertheless, represent a small decline from the projections used in our earlier assessments. Table 2 provides detail regarding the updated population projections. Future Trade Area Expenditure Potential. Expenditure potential is an expression that represents the total number of dollars available within an area for vadou$ store types, It is the product of trade area population and the expenditure per capita in particular study years. The level of expenditure per capita represents a portion of per capita income based on historical spending patterns in particular regions of the U,S, Table 3 outlines the updated expenditure potential indications in the Pdman/zone for all the store categories -- including the important DSTM and Home Center categories - in the 1995 to 2010 study period. These estimates are expressed in 1994 constant dollars which eliminate any future inflation which may occur. RDR has evaluated only the Primary zone since the expenditure potential in this zone most directly relates to Rancho Cucamonga's retail inventory. As shown, DSTM and Home Center expenditure potential will grow rapidly in the Priman/zone during the study period with the former increasing from neady $398.0 million in 1995 to about $632.0 million in 2010 while the latter will increase from about $79.0 million to over $125.0 million, respectively. The gain in DSTM expenditure potential is especially impressive with an indicated increase of about $234 million or close to 60%. qrealh/development research, inc. Mr. Gregory N. Hoxwor~h Page 4 June 22, 1995 1992 DSTM Expenditure Potential and Update of 1992 DSTM Sales Based on U.S. Census of Retail Trade. Since the 1992 U.S. Census of Retail Trade was not available at the time of RDR'S research in 1994, this now available information was inco~orsted in this study to afford a more definitive indication of the true level of sales in Rancho Cucamonga. Table 4 provides a comparison of the 1987 and 1992 U.S. Censuses of Retail Trade with state sales tax information. The trend in the growth of sales tax revenues was utilized in our prior study to update the 1987 sales data according to the U.S. Census. Comparing the prior estimates with the actual census data indicates that the actual sales pattern varied by store type. For example, in the DSTM category actual sales exceeded the RDR estimate by somewhat more than $10.0 million with needy $167.0 million recorded in the census. Conversely in the home improvement category, RDR's estimate substantially exceeded actual sales -- nearly $50.0 million versus about $15.0 million, respectively. Accordingly, in these two important retail categories net leakage - on the basis of the Primary zone alone - was reduced in the former to about $184.5 million and increased in the latter to about $55.0 million, 1992 Expenditure Potential Leakage Assuming the Addition of New Space. RDR ha:s updated the current indication of expenditure potential leakage in the Pdmary zone alone in the key DSTM and home center retail categories. Since no home center space was added during this time, RDR has made the assumption that all of the new space whiich was added since 1992 was of the DSTM type. This evaluation is, accordingly, extremely conservative since only the PYimary zone is considered in the calculations and secondly all the new space has been considered to be of the DSTM type. If the new square footage which is now in place is accounted for in the 1992 base year normally associated with this type of space - assuming it produces the average level of sales productivity of $200 per square foot, new DSTM sales of about $37.0 million are yielded. Thus, total 1992 DSTM sales would have been about $204.0 million with the inclusion of this space. Contrasting this level against the 1992 sales potential of $351,3 million* indicates that DSTM expenditure potential leakage would have been in excess of $148.2 million. While this level is lower than the near $290.0 million indicated in RDR's earlier evaluation, it is nevertheless still a very significant level of expenditure potential leakage, If the trade area's SecOndary zone is also included, the level of expenditure potential loss is considerably higher, Table 6 provides details regarding the above calculations, Home Center expenditure potential leakage was actually considerably higher in 1992. At the same time, the census indicated that sales in stores of this type actually declined between 1987 and 1992 with a level of about $14.7 million produced in the latter year. · This level of expenditure potential has been recalculated on the basis of the revist;d population projections from SCAG and lower levels of income indicated by Claritas/NPDC, l~'realtY clevelopmenf research, inc. Mr. Gregory N. Hoxworth Page 5 June 22, 1995 When contrasted with the level of expenditure potential in 1992, a leakage of about $55.0 million is indicated -* a level in excess of 78% of expenditure potential. See Table 4 for additional detail. Overall, the 1992 U.S. Census of Retail Trade data in conjunction with the inclusion of new space built since our last evaluation clearly substantiates that a significant loss of expenditure potential continues to take place in the trade area -* in particular, from the Primary zone -- in spite of these changes. In the next section, RDR has updated the Primary zone expenditure potential projections on the basis of the most recent population and income data. In addition, sales have been further adjusted to reflect space planned in the future as well as sales growth. Accordingly, a more accurate indication of future expenditure potential loss is provided. Future Expenditure Potential Leakage Indication for DSTM and Home Center Facilities. While sales in all the store categories will no doubt increase, growth in the DSTM and home center groupings will be constrained by the capacity limits of the existing space inventory if no additional space is added. Sales levels in the DSTM and Home Center categories have been increased at 4% per annum compounded between 1992 and 1995 to yield essentially inflation adjusted sales. Accordingly, as shown in Tables 7 and 8, sales increase in the latter year to about $228.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Finally, 1995 sales have been adjusted to include space planned to be added to the space inventory. Again RDR has made the conservative assumption that all of this space will be of the DSTM type and will produce an average level of productivity per square foot of $250. It is believed that a higher productivity level is appropriate for this square footage given the higher sales productivities associated with Mills*type facilities. As outlined above, there is about 100,000 square feet of new space planned at Rancho Cucamonga's existing centers which when combined with the portion of space related to Ontario Mills estimated to be effective in Rancho Cucamonga and incremental Kinart space yields a total planned area of 330,000 square feet. Applying the S250 per square foot productivity level to the planned square footage yields an additional $82.5 million in DSTM sales. Thus, total adjusted 1995 DSTM sales in Rancho Cucamonga are estimated at nearly $311.0 million. Table 7 highlights details of the above calculations. When the levels of expenditure potential in the Pdmary zone of the trade area are contrasted with the updated sales indications, it is clear that the level of expenditure potential loss will grow quickly over the study period. By the year 2000 the loss of DSTM expenditure potential out of the Primary trade area will total well over $152.0 million in 1994 constant dollars while the Home Center leakage will be about $75.0 million. By 2010 these levels of leakage increase further to over S321.0 million and about $109.0 million, respectively. j~realty cJevelopment research, ~nc Mr. Gregory N. Hoxworth Page 6 June 22,1995 Conclusion. The population growth taking place in the Rancho Cucamonga area has produced a market which is increasingly regional in scale. Thus, a growing variety of new retailers are considering locations in this area. Furthermore, RDR's current evaluation shows on a very conservative basis the continuing need for significant additional DSTM and Home Center space in Rancho Cucamonga. The subject Tetra Vista Promenade is especially well situated to meet a significant portion of the unmet market. In particular, its Home Depot and Kinart oul:lets will provide especially appropriate store formats to address this growing market. Sincerely, REALTY DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH, INC. Art.

Our organization prepared the report document which evaluated the extent of the market available for the shopping center facility planned to be developed by Lewis Homes in Rancho Cucamonga. I apologize about the difficulty you encountered in reviewing our report. Unfortunately i'r had to be prepared quickly and appropriate detailing obviously suffered. I believe this memorandum and attachments will better detail the issues with which you have · concern, Each of your concerns has been reviewed in the order outlined in your memorandum, 1. Retail Space Built in Rancho Cucamonga Since Last Market Review and Pinned New Space. An important purpose of the research connected 'with this update was to account for space built since completion of our last review of the market in 1994. This step allows a more accurate indication of the sales requirements of the currently existing space inventory. Data in this report reflected the year 1993 -- the! last full year which was available in 1994. As you know the 1993 to 1995 pedod was at the tail end of a national recession -- one more 'deeply experienced in southern California. These recessionan/conditions negatively impacted the amount of new retail space added to the retail inventory during this period nationally, in California, and in Rancho Cucamonga. Due to the focus of development in the Term Vista area in eastern Rancho Cucamonga, RDR made the assumption in this most recent evaluation that retail development activity was also oriented to this portion of the community *- especially given the market's recessionan/condition. Our group, however, has again revisited this issue since receiving your memorandum. On the basis of discussions with knowledgeable persons in the area's retail brokerage community, it i~realty development research, inc Mr. Alan Warren, AICP Page 2 August 15, 1995 was determined that an additional 80,000 square feet of DSTM space -- in excess of that previously indicated -- was added to the marketplace since 1993. Accordingly, RDR's current review of the Rancho Cucam0nga area indicates that approximately 265,000 square feet of new DSTM space, instead of the 185,000 square feet indicated in our memorandum of June 22, was built in the Rancho Cucamonga area since 1993. A major portion of this space is represented by the recently completed Tetra Vista Square -- the subject of RDR's last evaluation. This change has been incorporated in the space demand calculations outlined below. I apologize about your problems with Table 1: it should have been clearer. I have attached a revised Table 1 to this memorandum that more clearly presents information regarding'new square footage, planned square footage and changes in vacancy. Essentially new square footage built since 1993 and indicated in the table represents the difference between that indicated as operative by a 1993 Grubb & Ellis market survey (used in our 1994 report) and that indicated as operative at the present time. This figure -- 265,000 square feet -- is shown in the third column from the left in the first part of revised Table 1, Table 1 should have also shown planned new square footage and this has, accordingly, been included in revised Table 1 in a new section at the bottom. The planned new DSTM square footage either in or effective in the Rancho Cucamonga market area totals needy 330,000 square feet as outlined in the table. New square footage planned in Rancho Cucamonga market area is again oriented to the growing Terra Vista area or its immediate vicinity. Vacant Space. Your comments regarding the treatment of vacancy in our report are correct. Discussion about the general level of retail vacancy in Rancho Cucamonga was not included in this report. It should have been. Nevertheless, RDR's research did include conversations with knowledgeable persons vis-a-vis the general level of vacancy in Rancho Cucamonga's retail centers. This information was designed to update the comprehensive inventory of space vacant throughout Rancho Cucamonga as well as in the Tetra Vista community which was included in our 1994 study -- a copy of which should be in your files. This latter inventory was prepared as part of the above mentioned Grubb & Ellis market survey. To briefly recapitulate, the survey indicated, firstly, that Rancho Cucamonga's retail vacancy rate compared very favorably with other communities in the Inland Empire, and secondly, that the vacancy rate of those centers in the Tetra Vista area were very much in line with those in the rest of the community. Terre Vista's vacancy rate was 4:9% while neighborhood and specialty/Promotional centers elsewhere in the community had a combined 4,7% rate. Separately fireally development research, inc. Mr. Alan Warren, AICP Page 3 August 15, 1995 neighborhood centers had a 5.8% rate while specialty/promotional centers had a 3.8% rate. Our recent conversations with retail brokerage professionals indicated that vacancy in the community overall has increased somewhat since the 1994 report was prepared. Nevertheless, much of this vacant space was related to Terra Vista Square. This space was either leased or in the lease negotiation stage although it appeared vacant, Accordingly, this perspective corroborates the appropriateness olf our focus on changes which have occurred jR the Terra Vista area. It is the area which has consistently experienced nearly all the net new additions of space. 2 and 3. Table Reference. The report should have referred to Table 5 rather than Table 4. Original Table 5 does provide the comparison between the 1987 and 199.2 years. Original Table 4 is also included. it is also noted that Table 6 has been adjusted to reflect space added between 1993 and 1995. Revised Table 6 is attached. 4. Missing Tables. Tables 7 and 8 were supplied to Lewis Homes. They are attached in revised form to account for the new square footage above noted. 5. Multipliers. Attached New Table 3 provides the household and per capita income levels related to the Primary and Secondary zones of the trade area for the various years in the study period. Future years are expressed in 1994 constant dollars with only an annual increment of 0.5% included to reflect real increases in income. Also indicated. in New Table 4 are the percentages of per capita income utilized do develop per capita expenditures for various types of retail stores. Multiplying the resulting per capita expenditures for each retail store type by the zonal population (see Original Table 2) in each respective study year yields the related level of sales potential. 6. Population Estimation. The attached diagram superimposes the boundaries of Rancho Cucamonga on the defined trade area. The underlying census tracts are also shown. It should be apparent that a considerable amount of populated area has been included in the trade area which lies outside the city itself. 7, Potential Commercial Re-Use of Krnart Building. The report stated that a very strong probability exists that the existing Kmart store will be recycled into another non-retail commercial use. It is this consultant's opinion that retail is not the highest and best use at this location. The proximity to 8 governmental center does not necessarily mean demand for additional public sector space as stated in your memorandum. It can also relate to i~realty aevelopment research, inc Mr. Alan Warren, AICP Page 4 August 15, 1995 demand for a variety of private sector activities -- especially professional services '- which tend to locate in the vicinity of a governmental complex. I hope that this letter clarifies the various questions you outlined in your memorandum of July 24. Please feel free to give me a call if there are any other questions or comments.

DRAFT AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO THE TERRA VISTA COMMUNITY PLAN City of Rancho Cucamonga, California Submitted to LEWIS HOMES OF CALIFORNIA August 30, 1995 Prepared By Gruen Associates rn INTRODUCTION The Terra Vista Community Plan establishes a framework for the development of a diverse, viable community by promoting the development of a variety of land uses including residential, commercial, office, medical, institutional, and educational. As the plan has become realized over the past decade, various amendments to the plan have been deemed necessary to respond to shifts in the market and the changing needs of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This amendment proposes changing the land. use designation for the parcel bounded on the west by Orchard Avenue, on the east by Rochester Avenue, on the north by Church Street and Poplar Drive, and on the south by Foothill Boulevard from MOC (mixed use office/ commercial/residential) to ~!.~;~!~.~j~.:~ This change is proposed to allow for the development of a major "big box" retail center on the majority of the site while preserving the residential component planned in the northwest portion. The proposed change is supported by the following: · There is a minimal market for additional office uses in this area. The existing Medical Park has been determined to have sufficient area to accommodate the future expansion of medical-related office uses. · The location of the site away from the freeway creates a very limited market for automobile sales. Interest by potential tenants has demonstrated that this is a viable site for "big box" development. This type of development would be compatible with other commercial uses along Foothill Boulevard. This site is also considered to be an appropriate location for a major retail complex of this type within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Reoulred Modifications to the Terra Vista Community Plan The Terra Vista Community Plan currently describes the planned development on the site as follows: The western portion of the site would be developed as an Executive Park with offices, potentially as a continuation of Medical Park uses. Residential uses are located to the north, adjacent to Poplar Drive. The eastern portion of the parcel is bisected horizontally with a road that separates residential uses to the north from office uses to the south. The area fronting on Foothill Boulevard was identified as a potential location for a series of automobile dealerships. A north south road connecting to Poplar Drive and Foothill Boulevard would bisect the site into eastern and western sections and provide access to the interior of the site. TERRA VISTA AMENDMENT NO. 9 PAGE 1 ,the land use designation of the site to allow a major retail complex instead of primarily office uses requires corresponding modifications to the Terra Vista Community Plan. The primary Plan elements affected by this change are: site access · site planning · landscape treatment · pedestrian circulation · buffering between uses · overall density distribution Site Access Access to the site is relatively unchanged. A signalized intersection on Foothill Boulevard will be provided at the main entrance to the site which corresponds to the location of the intersection with the north/south bisecting roadway in the Plan. Side access to the site is provided from Orchard Avenue and Rochester Avenue, while access from the north is from Church Street and Poplar Drive. The most significant change is that the north/south roadway running through the eastern portion of site shown in the Plan will not be provided, as it would bisect the shopping center and not be needed for access. Site Planning Site Planning for the site changes from the Executive Park shown in the Plan in order to meet the needs of the new land uses. The Plan calls for office buildings to have varying setbacks from Foothill Boulevard with auto dealerships located close to the street in the eastern portion of the site. Parking was to be dispersed throughout the site to serve individual office and residential buildings. To meet the needs of the "big box" retail uses proposed for the site, smaller buildings will be TERRA VISTA AMENDMENT NO. 9 PAGE 2 located close to the street with the larger buildings setback significantly. Service areas are located away from view of the nearby streets. The parking area is located in front of the retail buildings and a landscaped setback faces Foothill Boulevard. At the entries, a series of transitional elements such as trellises and landscape features are used to reduce the scale of the large retail structures. Landscape Treatment The strong landscape pattern along Foothill Boulevard described in the Plan is maintained tO partially screen parking areas and provided filtered views of the site. The "window' that was to be provided from Foothill Boulevard into the Executive Park is replaced by a strong landscape feature at the main entry to the site from Foothill Boulevard, which is more appropriate for a retail complex. To provide a buffer between the large structures on the site and adjacent residential areas, a landscaped screening is provided along Rochester Avenue from Poplar Drive south to the entrance of the retail center. Trails The trail system that runs through the Terra Vista Community must be altered to accommodate the new land use pattern. The Plan currently calls for the trail to pass through the middle of the site in a north/south fashion between Poplar Drive and Foothill Boulevard. As the proposed land uses will be located on the site in an east/west orientation, preserving the trail system would require the trail to pass by the rear loading area, between the commercial structures, and continue through the parking lot. To provide a better pedestrian experience, the trail will be relocated to the north of Poplar Drive between Church Street and Rochester Avenue and then continue south on Rochester Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. This also will eliminate the mid-block trail crossings on Poplar Dr ve by relocating them to the major intersection. The interior pedestrian circulation on the site is basically unchanged. The Plan called for pedestrians to pass through the middle of the site along an east/west pathway. Under the proposed land use pattern, a wide pedestrian promenade will pass in front of the major retail uses and connect to the pathway system at Rochester Avenue. Buffering Between Uses Requirements for buffering between uses on the site is modified to reflect the change in permitted land uses. The Terra Vista Community Plan calls for a 50 foot minimum buffer between residential and office buildings. As the mix of office and residential uses are to be "F replaced with a mix of commercial and residential uses, (~-\ this minimum buffer area is proposed to be increased to 100 feet between commercial and habitable residential '-~ structures. Additionally, as the ground level of residential uses located in the northwest portion of the site would be approximately 10 feet higher than the commercial uses to south, the berm or retaining wall separating these uses should be landscaped with dense columnar trees to provide screening. Overall Density The overall density of site will change slightly designation, 18.9 acres are listed as MH (medium high) density and 9.9 acres are designated M (medium) density for a total of 448 residential units. The proposed land use plan would include it~ acres of H (high) density for a total of ~2~: residential units, resulting in an increase ~ ~ unlt~':':~:~:':the site. ' ....... Why this Amendment Is Needed The amendment to change the land use designation is needed because the existing designation of MOC does not allow for the development of a major commercial center on this site. Furthermore, office this location. The CC designation retail H adjoining resldentlal component.

REVISED Amendment Nos. 1,2, 5, 6, 7 & 9 111-23 end Greenway System The backbone of the Terra Vista community is the greenway, a landscaped, linear park running from northeast to southwest through the entire community (Figure 111-9). Within this landscaped spine are paths for both pedestrians and bicycles, along with areas for active and passive recreation. Projecting from this major open space are secondary greenways--or trails--that meander through the four neighborhoods of Terra Vista, penetrating residential developments, commercial clusters, and parks (Figure II1-10). Located along the greenway and trails are the parks and schools of Terra Vista (Figure II1~11). The primary function of the greenway system is to provide a focus for leisure-time activities and community services, a verdant image for the community, and a pleasant means of walking or cycling from one part of the community to another. This section explores a number of aspects of the park and greenway system that make it central to the planning of Terra Vista, including: · The greenway and trails · Public parks and open space The Greenway and Trails The greenway corridors through the Terra Vista community (Figure II1-12) have been carefully located to meet the following criteria: · "Anchors" to promote full use of greenway and trails SPRR JBase Line Rd.

FIGURE IIl-lt Parks along Greenway and Trail System within Walking Distance of All Residents REVISED Amendment Noe. 2. 6 & 9 I1!- 10 Trail connections to neighborhoods and community subareas · Trail access to all school sites Each of these criteria is explained further below. Greenway System Anchors. The greenway system is anchored at the east side of Terra Vista community by a park and elementary school site. Connections across Rochester Avenue allow residents in the adjoining development to the east to have easy access to the Tetra Vista greenway amenities. At the southwest corner of the community, the greenway terminates at the community commercial development in the Town Center, at the most important crossroads of the community. The Town Center will be an attraction for the entire City of Rancho Cucamonga and will offer transit access, extended hours of activity and nightlife, and extensive shopping opportunities. By providing direct access to destinations at either end of the greenway spine, the greenway offers the most direct access possible to either of these destinations, and many more in between, from nearly everywhere within Terra Vista. Terra Vista residents will be encouraged to avail themselves of the pleasant walking and bicycling potential of the greenway and can leave their cars at home. Trail Connections. The trails that project from the major greenway spine connect residential areas with community uses, commercial developments, employment centers, and schools. They also link with destinations beyond the project boundaries and with surrounding employment centers. Bus stops, which will be coordinated with OmniTrans, are intended at locations where the trail system intersects with key collector streets and arterials.

Low~ residential densities {LM and M) have been provided at places along the periphery of the Terra Vista community adjoining existing low-density development (Figure II1-18). For example, in the northeast neighborhood along Base Line Road, LM and M densities are provided in order to be compatible with similar planned densities in the Victoria planned community to the north. LM and M densities are provided opposite the existing single-family homes along Rochester and Haven Avenues (Figure II1-17). Energy Efficiency and Community Interaction. Higher density residential developments (MH and H) have been oriented primarily to the interior of the community (Figure 111-19) to be: · Near the park and greenway system · Near the neighborhood core areas · On the loop parkway · Near key intersections where transit stops would be appropriate · Within and near mixed use parcels to promote extended hours of activity Examples of how these location criteria have been applied can be found in each of the neighborhoods (Figure II1-17): In the northeast neighborhood, the MH parcel is situated near the neighborhood commercial center, near a park, on the trail system, on the loop parkway, and near a recommended transit stop.

Since the greenway system is designed to encourage walking and cycling to various activity centers within the Terra Vista Community--and since it is the visual focus of all the neighborhoods of Tetra Vista - - a wide range of housing densities has been oriented toward the primary greenway spine, This variety will add to the range of images encountered by people using the greenway system for daily trips to employment centers and commercial facilities. As discussed earlier, the average population density is lower in the northern neighborhoods and higher in the southern neighborhoods. As a result, overall residential densities along the greenway system are higher at the southwestern end of the greenway and lower at the northeastern end (Figure 111-20). REVISED Amendment Nos. 6 end 9 25 of Densities Within All Neighborhoods. neighborhood in Terra Vista has a mix of housing types, varying from single-family detached to multifamily housing, allowing people from many income groups and of differing lifestyles to live in Terra Vista. While the neighborhoods differ in character, no neighborhood is entirely higher density or entirely lower density. Commercial Land Uses Commercial land uses in the Terra Vista planned community are grouped in centers according to functional requirements to create convenient, efficient, and visually pleasing environments. Most commercial centers are situated between Foothill Boulevard and Church Street {Figure III- 21); however, neighborhood and other small commercial centers can be found elsewhere in the community to serve the more localized and specialized needs both of community residents and of residents in adjoining communities. The various commercial land uses in Terra Vista include: · Community Commercial · Neighborhood Commercial · Recreational Commercial · Office Park Communitv Commercial (CC). The Community Commercial parcel at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue can accommodate department store development, numerous tenant stores arranged around either an open or enclosed pedestrian mall, and community-oriented service establishments such as drug · Commercial · Restaurants · Commercial · Office · Banks · Residential · Entertainment · Savings & Loans · Office · Commercial · Residential · Hospital · Office , Office · Entertainment · Medical Related Facilities · Commercial FIGURE 111-21 Centers Concept Along Foothill Boulevard stores, supermarkets, financial institutions, and other functions. In addition, the Community Commercial center can have entertainment facilities and/or restaurants. The intent is that the Community Commercial parcel will cater to a mix of uses that will make the development lively well into the night, to function as an active "people place" in service to the residents of Terra Vista and the City of Ranch· Cucamonga. A more detailed description of the Community Commercial parcel in terms of design guidelines is provided in Chapter IV. The Community Commercial parcel on Foothill Boulevard between Spruce and Elm Avenues will complement the uses found in the Community Commercial parcel to the west. Many of the same uses now found in the parcel to the west, such as restaurants, supermarkets, community- oriented service establishments and offices, as well as other community-wide tenants requiring large floor areas such as electronic stores can be accommodated on this parcel. REVISED Amendment Nos. 1, 5, 6. 7 & 9 111-26 Mixed Use Center Concept While the preceding discussions dealt with the primary thrust of development at the various commercial sites in Terra Vista, this section explores in more detail the concept of "mixed use centers." The concept capitalizes on the ability of a mixed-use center to provide an integrated environment, to respond to evolving market conditions and human needs, to offer a variety of physical development types, and to have a pedestrian orientation. Integrated Environments. Mixed use centers have the ability to provide stimulating, integrated environments that include commercial, office, entertainment and leisure time, and residential developments--all clustered together into unified, highly identifiable developments. Response to Evolving Market Conditions. Mixed use centers can respond over time to changing market conditions. Since the mixed use developments at Terra Vista will not be the first parcels in the community to be developed, the mixed use designation allows specific development at each center to vary-- within certain parameters -- in response to evolving market demands. Tvoes of Physical Development. The type of physical development that can occur within the mixed use parcel will cover a variety of building types catering to different specific uses. For example, one parcel may feature stores, offices, and housing all stacked together in one multi-use building. Another parcel may feature a split- level arrangement, through the use of site contouring, that puts commercial functions at the ground level facing Foothill Boulevard and residential units above the commercial -- at a higher ground level -- oriented toward the parklike Terra Vista environment to the north. Still another parcel might contain a combination of both building types. Pedestrian Orientation. Common to all commercial and mixed use parcels along Foothill Boulevard is the pedestrian orientation of development. pedestrian walkway along Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, i~:~!;i;~i~!::i~;i~!~!~!~:ii~:~ developments with each Other. ~ij~ w th the Terra V sta greenway s,~::' greenway system -- with adjoining communities within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This is described more fully in Section IV. Specific Mixed Use Developments While all the commercial parcels along Foothill Boulevard are "mixed use" developments, the parcels that make up the boulevard frontage from just west of Mill(ken Avenue eastward to ~i~j Avenue feature an even broader spectrum of f:~E~i~'~': than the parcels to the west. The Terra Vista Plan (Figure II1-17) designates these parcels as MFC (mixed use financial facilities, restaurants, residential), and MHO (mixed use hospital, office, commercial). These designations represent a unique focus for each center, as the following profiles describe: MFC Parcel. The MFC parcel, immediately west of Mill(ken Avenue, will feature a broad mixture of financial institutions (banks, savings and loans, and brokerages), restaurants (to function as the "restaurant row" of Rancho Cucamonga), and residential development. The physical arrangement of the site will provide parking at the center, hidden from direct view of motorists on REVISED Amendment Nos. 1 & 9 III - 28 II Boulevard when all buildings are completed. The central parking will be jointly used by businesses and luncheon restaurants, during the day and by dinner restaurant patrons in the evening; this joint use allows there to be less overall parking than would be required without a mixed use arrangement. The residential portion of the parcel will be oriented to the northern portion of the site to take advantage of park views. A loop pedestrian pathway will link all developments in the MFC parcel together and with adjoining parcels. MHO Parcel. The MHO parcel, located east of Milliken Avenue, is planned as a medical park to accommodate hospitals, other specialized health care facilities, medical offices, and other office/commercial uses. Through coordinated site planning and a central pedestrian network, these facilities can function together in an integrated campus environment. As explained below, the campus can be extended eastward to accommodate expansion. The higher density housing surrounding this site makes it an extremely convenient location for both health care consumers and providers. Summery. As the previous discussions have noted, mixed use centers offer: · A variety of activities and opportunities. e A lower need for use of the automobile, since numerous tasks can be accomplished without the need for intermediate car trips. e More stimulating living, working, shopping, and leisure time environments with extended hours of activity and a variety of people intermixing. A human scale, with a tendency toward the clustering of various sizes of buildings. A special image and identity that reflects well upon both Terra Vista and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. More detailed descriptions of the various mixed use and commercial centers along Foothill Boulevard are provided in Chapter IV.

For this reason, 6.4 acres of Low Medium Density and 3.0 acres of Medium High Density which appear on the Land Use Plan are excluded from the residential dwelling calculations on the previous page. Household size for Medium Density residential is an arithmetic average based on the estimated distribution of types of dwellings to be buil~. See Chapter VI of the Terra Vista text. Descriptions of commercial land uses indicate the general type of development considered. Actual permitted land uses are enumerated in Chapter V of the Terra Vista text. Commercial acreages in Mixed Use parcels exclude residential uses, estimated to total 6.5 acres of High Density. Specific locations for community uses are not determined by this plan because the site size and location desired will vary depending on the user. However, it is estimated that 9.4 acres not included in the tabulation of public and quasi-public acreage will be developed in community uses. See Note 1 above. Major highways acreage includes half-width rights-of-way for Foothill, Haven, Rochester, Base Line east of Milliken, and Milliken north of Base Line*, and full-width rights-of- way for Milliken south of Base Line and Base Line west of Milliken. With density bonuses a total of 9,338 units are permitted in Terra Vista. Park and trail acreage of 51.9 shown on the Land Use Summary and Land Use Plan {pages 111-23 and IV-15) exceeds the 47.86 acre requirement (56.06 acres per page VI-3 less 8.2 acres private open space credit per the Park Implementation Plan) by approximately four acres. Trail widths and locations may change slightly as developments proceed through the planning process, and a portion of the park land shown on Milliken Avenue may be converted to another "community use" {a YMCA), but in no event will public park, greenway and trail acreage fall below 47.9. · now a part of City Park.

Landscaping and open spaces also are used in buffer and edge conditions to enhance relationships between land uses and to soften the edges of the community. The need for extensive buffering devices is minimal in Terra Vista, since land use adjacencies have been planned for high compatibility. In general, adjacent residential land use parcels are identical in density category or differ by only one density category, unless separated by landscape elements, trails or streets. However, landscaping as well as fences and walls will offer an appropriate buffering for common conditions throughout the community. The residential development section of this chapter offers illustrations of many of these conditions. This section covers the following conditions: Buffer between residential and neighborhood commercial Buffer between comm.rcie · Buffer between uses in mixed-use parcels Edge conditions along Deer Creek and the Southern Pacific Railroad Buffer Between Residential and NeiahbOrhQod Commercial. A minimum of ten feet of landscaping and a six-foot solid wall will buffer residential from neighborhood commercial uses (Figure IV-16).

The minimum unobstructed width of all trails (i.e. not interrupted by walls, fences, or buildings) is 15 feet. The minimum building setback varies depending on the situation. All trails will contain as a minimum a six-foot paved walk with adequate side access for maintenance via cul-de-sacs or easements. A tall, arching evergreen tree will be utilized throughout the trail system to provide a consistent image. Figure IV-23 indicates the location of each trail type. Figure IV-33 illustrates Trail Types C, D, and E, the secondary trails with a six-foot wide combined bicycle and pedestrian path. Three conditions are shown for secondary trails: Conventional Single Family Adjacent to Both Sides of the Trail (Trail Type CI. Trails are 15 feet wide and typically fenced off from single family lots. The side-on condition is preferred but not mandatory. In the side-on condition, there is no minimum setback; however, the minimum building separation remains 25 feet. Wall conditions vary among 3-foot solid walls, 3-foot walls topped by an open fence, and open fences or solid walls 5-feet 6-inches high. In a rear-on condition, the typical situation along trails is a 5-foot 6-inch wall; the building separation is increased to 35 feet; and the minimum building setback from the trail is 10 feet. Trail Type C also typically occurs adjoining schools. Cluster Multifamilv Adjacent to One or Both Sides of Trail (Trail Type D). The intent of this condition is to minimize the use of solid walls or fences along the trail system, allowing the common landscaped areas of the multifamily projects to touch the trail. Minimum clear trail width remains 15 feet; however, the actual right-of-way is six feet. Minimum building separation is 25 feet for buildings of one or two stories and 35 feet for buildings of three stories. The minimum building setback from the trail is six feet. Both the selected trail tree and the neighborhood accent tree will be used In landscaping the edge of the trail adjacent to multifamily projects. Trails Adjacent to Roadwavs (Trail Type E). When trails adjoin public roadways, six feet are added to the landscaped public area beside the roadway outboard of the sidewalk. The width of the sidewalk is also increased from four to six feet to accommodate the bicycles and pedestrians. Figure IV-34 illustrates landscaping of Trail Types D and E in plan form. Nodes Alone the Trail ~vstem, various locations along the .odes green~y, Landscaping of trail nodes will be similar to that of greenway nodes (see above) except that shade structures and similar amenities are not required.

Because of this, all the concerns located in the centers should benefit. The overall design concept for the centers along Foothill Boulevard is best described by breaking down the centers' design guidelines into the following four components: · Center identity and specific uses · Access and community gateways · Site planning and pedestrian network · Landscape treatment Each of these components is described below in terms of how they will affect the image and appearance of Terra Vista from Foothill Boulevard. Following this discussion are individual profiles of each center. Center Identity and Specific Uses Each center along Foothill Boulevard is intended to cater to a different mix of business, office, professional, and residential functions. For convenience, each has been identified by a preliminary name reflecting the types of uses currently expected to predominate within it (Figure IV-63): · Town Center · Commercial Park · Financial/Restaurant Area cal Park The discussion in Chapter III on commercial land uses in Terra Vista described the unique mix of specific commercial facilities in each center that complements adjoining commercial centers yet promotes variety and identity. Access and Community Gateways AccesS. Within the Terra Vista community, primary access to each of the centers along Foothill Boulevard will be from Church Street and north-south streets connecting Church Street with Foothill Boulevard, as indicated diagrammatically in Figure IV-64. The reason for this access concept is twofold: Smoother Traffic Flow. Anticipated traffic levels along Foothill Boulevard are relatively high; the removal of primary access points from Foothill Boulevard allows for smoother traffic flow along the boulevard. Left turns into centers will generally be confined to the intersections and locations shown, since such movements at other than strategically spaced locations can inhibit traffic flow. Better Traffic Distribution. Access from Church Street and from cross streets perpendicular to Foothill Boulevard will help to distribute traffic more equally between Church Street and Foothill Boulevard than would be possible with primary Foothill Boulevard access points only. Terra Vista Residents will have no need Town Center F1nanciaV PromotionaJ Community Restaurant Center Commercial Plaza i.~ Medical ~Church St. i ,~ Commercial Park · ~ ,<, Park Type I Galeway Type II Gabway Type III Gateway FIGURE IV-64 ~ Priman/Access Primary Access and Gateways Concept for Church Street REVISED Amendment Nos. 1.5. 6. 7 & 9 IV - 49 to use Foothill Boulevard for intra-community trips for shopping, entertainment, and other daily needs. Gateways are another major means of punctuating the Foothill Boulevard frontage, as described In the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. Gateways are also located on the north side of Church Street, as i~licated In Figure IV-64. One Type II gateway Is provided at Milliken Avenue and Type III gateways are bcaed at the comers of Church Street and Spruce, Elm, and Orchard Avenues. Each of the Type II and Type III gateways will have a consIstent treatment, as desorbed in the bndscape section Site Planning and Pedestrian Network Each canter along Foothill Boulevard will have a different appearance from the boulevard within the context of the uniform Term Vista design image. As indicated conceptually in Rgure IV- 65, the arrangement of buildings, parking areas, and pedestrian walkways is unique to each canter. For example: · In the Town Center, smaller buildings are clustered close to Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue, while more imposing commercial structures are set back from these streets. The primary greenway spine leads directly to the Town Center community commercial center and to the east-west pedestrian linkage through the Foothill Boulevard canters. In the Commercial Park, as in the Town Center, larger buildings are set beck away from Foothill Boulevard and the smaller buildings are located near Foothill Boulevard and along a central park-like entry. A large open space with a pedestrian spine traverses the site from north to south. Primary parking acc~-s will be from Foothill Boulevard, Spruce Avenue across from Town Center Drive, and from Elm Avenue. Service access faces Church Street with ample room for bndscape screening from Chumh Street. The pedestrian pathway along R~'VtSEDAmemh~e~Nos. l, 6. T&9 N-50 Elm Avenue will connect with the Trail System and La Mission Park. In the Finenclal/Restaurant Plaza, buildings will encircle the site; centralized parking will serve all establishments but be hidden from view from Foothill Boulevard. The pedestrian walkway will assume a circular configuration around the parking ares. In the Medical Park, as with the Corporate Park, a generous open space within the campus will be the focus for buildings. Larger health care facilities will be set wall back from Foothill Boulevard. A pedestrian path will lead to the site and will, in turn, connect with the trail system. In the Promotlonsl Centel back from Foothill Boulevard from public view. ha located close to the street. A storefronts will bad through orlarru3tion. The bndscaped Avenue will help to buffer developments with the 1. north/south direction up parking area. and from Foothill Boulevard, to ~:.~i~ promenade linkages, p zaslpet s. The result of this carefully conceived site planning, coupled with detailed designs for each center that will be reviewed prior to site development, should be a development pattern that uses scale, rhythm, and variety to excellent advantage.

Each center has been carefully evaluated from the standpoint of landscaping to create an attractive, manicured image for Terra Vista along Foothill Boulevard. The various components that have gone into the landscape concept include: ® Tree rows · Berms · View filtering devices (planting and hedges) · View opportunities for "windows" to the shops and mountains beyond As indicated diagrammatically in Figure IV-66, trees symbolizing the Terra Vista community will line Foothill Specific Plan. In addition, each center along Foothill Boulevard will have a unique mix of landscaping treatments in conformance with the building arrangement within the site. For example: · At the community commercial center within the Town Center, edge planrings will be provided to filter views of the landscaped parking areas but will still allow the larger buildings beyond to be clearly seen by motorists along Foothill Boulevard. · There will be three primary landscape features at Commercial Park in addition to parking lot landscaping: 1) a landscaped area bisecting the site from north to south containing special decorative paving and a canopy tree-covered parklike area with outdoor dining and other pedestrian amenities, 2) edge planting along Foothill Boulevard to filter views to the buildings in the distance with a special plaza combined with a gateway at the northeast corner of Spruce Avenue and a gateway at the northwest corner of Elm Avenue, and, 3) dense planting adjacent to Church Street to soften the rear view of the buildings and service areas. REVISED Amendment Nos. 1, 5, 7 & 9 IV - 51 · best served by a combination of techniques that would be used in conjunction with setbacks. In the Financial/Restaurant Plaza, the parking area will be screened from motorists on Foothill Boulevard by the buildings themselves. Informal plantings will be provided around and between the buildings. In the Medical Park, there will be two rows of trees, plus landscaping in the parking areas along Foothill Boulevard. Landscaping and low harms may also be provided to screen parking areas further. In the Promotional Center, landscaping along Foothill Boulevard will offer windows into the commercial Complex. Plantinge along a portion of Rochester Avenue end a Type B trail will screen parking end loading areas and serve to reduce the scale of the large buildings on the site. Additional setback areas will buffer the project from the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east. The Use of palms at project entries will tie this site with the other retail projects along Foothill Boulevard and reinforce community Identity. In this last regard, the setbacks for both parking areas and buildings along Foothill Boulevard have been specially selected to address the Boulevard's unique role as a primary travel corridor in Rancho Cucamonga. As noted in the section earlier in this chapter on landscaping, setbacks along Foothill Boulevard from the curb to parking areas will be 28 feet minimum (43 feet average), and from the curb to buildings, 38 feet minimum (43 feet average). It was felt in planning the Foothill Boulevard frontage that the objectives of variety and visual interest would be These techniques, which are described elsewhere in this section, include: Specifying average setbacks (43 feet from the curb to parking areas or buildings) in addition to minimum setbacks, assuring that many buildings will be set well back beyond the minimum required distance Site planning guidelines for several of the parcels along Foothill Boulevard calling for very generous setbacks, taking on the image of landscaped parks Major "windows" into the projects periodically along the boulevard frontage, constituting large setbacks in special situations. Summary. To provide an overview of the image one will have driving along Foothill Boulevard past the various commercial centers, a "panorama" of development along the boulevard has been prepared. Figure IV-67 offers a conceptual plan of the entire Foothill Boulevard frontage within Terra Vista and, in conjunction with this conceptual plan, a view or views of some of the major highlights along the corridor. (Larger reproductions of these views will follow.) As indicated by Figure IV-67, development along Foothill Boulevard-acknowledging that actual development may differ according to specific development programs but will adhere to the spirit and quality portrayed--will be epitomized by variety, attractive clusterings of buildings and open spaces, and an image that builds on the unique heritage and qualities of the City of Rancho Cucamonga: REVISED Amendment Nos. 1, 7 & 9 IV RESI Tall columnar trees screen views of commercial structures --Landscaped berm provides a buffer between residential and commercial uses wal~ay COMMERCIAL ~ at ~ln entrance CE~ER along Poplar Drive and Rochester Avenue FoOthill Boulevard Specific Plan intersection treatment Figure IV-77 Conceptual Site Plan for the Promotional Center REVISED Amendment Nos. 1 & 9 Iv - 64 P~ti~i>:"'C~t~;;'>~':""~'' Promotional Center, between Orchard and Rochester Avenues on Foothill Boulevard is envisioned as a mixture Of commercial and residential Uses.

ANALYSIS: General: The applicant is proposing to develop a 103,000 square foot Home Depot with a 23,665 square foot garden center and 5,400 square foot house plant enclosure as Phase 1 of a Master Planned Shopping Center consisting of 495,736 square feet of retail space. The intent of the applicant is to receive approval of only the Home Depot and related improvements at this time; future applications with modifications to the Master Plan will be processed at such time development is proposed for future phases of the Master Planned Center, similar to projects such as Terra Vista Town Center and Town Center Square. The purpose of the Master Plan is to establish a concept plan on how the center could be developed while meeting the technical and design criteria of the City. Home Depot is shown near the northeast comer of the site. An 8-foot high screen wall and landscaping are proposed to screen the loading area from view of Rochester Avenue and the future Poplar Drive. The building has also been set back 80 feet from the curb along Rochester Avenue. Traffic control measures, as required by the City's Traffic Engineering Division, will be installed at the new project driveway along Rochester Avenue, directly across from Chervil Street. With Phase I development. the applicant is proposing to take vehicular access from two locations along Foothill Boulevard, two driveways on Rochester Avenue, and one ddveway on Poplar Drive, One of the driveways along Foothill Boulevard is for vehicles entedng the site only, while the other lines up with the future Masi Drive to the south. The second driveway on the Rochester Avenue frontage is exclusively for large trucks exiting the lumber off-loading area in back of the Home Depot. The driveway on Poplar Drive is designed for large truck access to the loading and unloading areas and for some employee parking. As part of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Activity Center area for the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, the project includes a pedestrian activity area at the comer with a fountain, seating, and upgraded landscaping and decorative hardscape, with elements tying together this design with the activity center designed for the Masi projec:t. The proposed Master Plan includes six other major tenants in a line of buildings west of the proposed Home Depot. In addition, eight other pad buildings along Foothill Boulevard are shown on the Master Plan, two of which are fast-food restaurants and one a service station. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 95-11 - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 3 C= Again, the balance of the center is shown in concept only; specific development plans will be required at such time future phases are proposed for development. It should be noted that the Master Plan has been reviewed by both staff and the Planning Commission and even though the plans may change when actual development is pursued, the concept of the Master Plan is consistent with the direction given by the Planning Commission at the Planning Commission Workshops. North of the commercial project is vacant and zoned High Residential District. The plans show a 10-foot grade difference between the two land uses. The applicant stated that they do not have plans to develop the site in the next five or ten years. The residential design depicted on the plan is a concept to show that proper buffering and screening can be achieved between the two land uses. Staff would like to point out that new design guidelines requiring extensive buffering between the two land uses are being proposed in the related Terra Vista Community Plan amendment. Parkina: As noted in the parking calculations for the project, Phase 1 development would be deficient 95 parking spaces as shown on the Phase I Development Plan. To address this deficiency, staff has included a Condition of Approval requiring a minimum of one parking space per 200 square feet for Phase 1 development. Therefore, the Phase lines will require modification to ensure that the additional parking will be provided to meet the minimum number required for Home Depot. As for the Master Plan, the site is deficient 5 parking spaces as shown on the conceptual Master Plan, under the assumption that no more than 15 percent of the total gross floor area will be occupied by food service users. As noted earlier. each phase of development will require design review, thereby insuring that all technical criteria (including parking ) will be provided in accordance with City standards and policies. Plannine Comm!ssion WorkshoDs/Design Review Committee: The Planning Commission held a sedes of workshops on this project dating back to December 28, 1994. To "formalize" the Development Review process, the Design Review Committee (Barker, Lumpp, Fong) did review the project on August 1, 1995, but recommended that, because of the significance of the remaining issues, the project be reviewed further by the full Planning Commission in a workshop format. The Action Comments from that meeting are attached for your convenience. At the two most recent workshops, held on August 9, and 23, 1995, the Planning Commission directed the development team to revise the plans to the satisfaction of staff prior to this meeting for Commission consideration. Of primary concern were the following: 1. The vehicular circulation in the parking area south of the Home Depot, 2. The screening of the lumber off-loading and drive aisle along Poplar Drive. Technical Review Committee: On August 2, 1995, the Committee reviewed the project and determined that, with the recommended special and standard Conditions of Approval. the project is consistent with all applicable standards and ordinances. The project was reviewed by the Grading Committee on August 1, 1995, and modifications to the design were recommended by the Committee. These changes have been reviewed by staff and deemed acceptable to resolve the concerns of the Grading Committee. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 95-11 - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 1995 Page 4 Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed by the applicant. Staff has completed Part II of the Initial Study, Staff found no significant impact on the environment with the development of the project because proper mitigations on the buffE;ring and screening between the commercial and residential uses and the improved on-site circulation design have been incorporated into the project design, However, the recommendation to issue a project level Negative Declaration is contingent on the Planning Commission's recommending the issuance of a Negative Declaration for the General Plan Amendment and the Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment, CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public headng in the Inland Vallev (:)ally Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the site as well as an expanded notification area within the residential area east of the site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends aPProval of the Conditional Use permit 95,11and the issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration. However, this recommendation is contingent on the Planning Commission's recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment and the Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment to the City Council as well as their final approval, If the Commission can not make a recommendation on the General Plan Amendment and the Community Plan Amendment, the Conditional Use Permit needs to be continued.

Related Files: Term Vista Community Plan Amendment 95-1)1 and General Plan Amendment 95-01B. Design Parameters: The vacant site is bounded by undeveloped land in all directions, except to the east, where a single family residential honsing tract exists, and to the south a building exists that will be retained for the future Masi PlaTa development as an Old Spaghetti Factory. No significant landforms exist on the property, however, a few mature Eucalyptus trees are scattered across the site and are proposed to be removed in conj~mction with development of the site. The site slopes gently from north to south. The project is designed to take its primary access from Foothill Boulevard at the future signalized intersection with Masi Drive. This access lines up with the future project on the south side of Foothill Boulevard. The proposed vehicular access on Rochester Avenue lines up with Chervil Street to the east. Other driveway locations have been located in conformante with the regulations of Caltrans and the Engineering Division, as applicable. As pan of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Activity Center Area for the intersection of Foot[fill and Rochester, the project includes a pedestrian activity area at the comer with a fountain, seating, and upgmded landscaping and decorative hardseape, with elements tying together this design with the ,'mtivity center designed for the Masi project. A master plan for development of the four comers of the Activity Center is included within the plan submittal. Home Depot is shown near the northeast comer of the site. An 8-foot high screen wall and landscaping are proposed to screen the loading area from view of Rochester Avenue and the future Poplar Dfi,ve, the building has been set back 80 feet from the curb along Rochester, and traffic control measures as r.:quired by the City's Traffic Engineering Division will be installed at the new project driveway along Rochester, directly across from Chervil Street. To the north of the commercial project, a future multiple family residential development is proposed. A 10-foot grade difference is proposed between the two uses with a 10- to 15-foot wide landscal~: buffer on each project boundary. Even though the residential project is only shown in concept, it appears that it is the intent of the applicant to have two and three-story multiple family buildings intemal to the residential site with a drive aisle and parking along the interior property lines to provide an additional buffer between the residential units and the shopping center. The project was the subject of two previous Planning Commission workshops (minutes are attached). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discnssion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: DRC COMMENTS CUP 95-11 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES August 1, 1995 Pag9 2 Site Plan: 6. 7. 8. A master plan of the multiple family residential area north and west of the site should be provided to illustrate how the shopping center, as currently designed, will mitigate any potential negative impacts (i.e. land use transition, noise, aesthetics, etc.) related to locating a shopping center adjacent to residential development and how pedestrian connections can be planned from surrounding residential land to the shopping center. The parking area south of the Home Depot should be modified with clearer major through drive aisles that are designed to avoid dead ends in the middle of long rows of parking stalls. The Committee should consider whether the linear appearance of the storefronts has been modified enough to address previous Commission concerns relative to this issue. The four way vehicle intersection north of Pad C should be redesigned to be at more of a fight angle. In addition, the sweeping curve leading up fi'om Foothill Boulevard should be straightened with longer radius curves. Drive-Thru Pads C and E should be redesigned to provide longer stacking areas for the drive- thru lanes. Typically, 8-10carstacking is needed. A significant east/west pedestrian link should be provided along the southern half of the project (i.e. along the main drive aisle) to promote pedestrian movement among the pad buildings. Connect sidewalks at project entries to a logical on-site sidewalk system. Cross-sections of the loading area at the rear of the Home Depot, including proposed screening devices, should be prepared for Committee review, as requested at the previous Planning Commission Workshop.. A more elaborate design guideline package (similar to Terra Vista Town Center) should be provided for Committee review. Architecture: I. The rear (north) elevation of the Home Depot should be significantly upgraded, being that it will face future residential development. 2. Screening. of roof-mounted mechanical equipment is going to be of special concern with this proiect, given the potential grade difference between the project and the future residential project to the north. A design solution for Home Depot as well as other buildings should be considered now because these screens may become an integral part of the architectural design. Provide several sight-line cross-section studies to show equipment in relation to parapet height. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Commirtee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Site Plan: The. customer pick-up lane in front of the Home Depot should be defined by using special pavang to match other uses of special paving within the shopping center. DRC COMMENTS CUP 95-11 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES August I, 1995 Page 3 The landscape buffer between the shopping center and the future residential project to the north should be increased in width and density of planting. In addition, the landscaping on the outside of the screen wall along Poplar Drive should be upgraded. The layout of the parking lot should be revised to minimize vehicular circulation problems in several areas of the site, which will be highlighted by staff at the meeting. A greater depth for vehicle stacking should be provided at the two westerly accesses to Orchard Avenue. Landscaping should be introduced along the storefront of Home Depot wherever possible. Virtually none is proposed over the 400 foot long front elevation. Architecture: The typical enhanced storefronts should be enlarged and increased in depth to become a more integral part of the architectural design. A more decorative roofing material than galvanized metal sheets should be used on all arcades in the promenade area. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: The activity center concept should be carried westward across the Foothill Boulevard frontage to the first driveway, as required of the Masi project on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, and as required by the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement. All proposed signage should be in balance with the proportions and mussing of the buildings. The exterior treatment used on the pick-up canopy and facades of the Home Depot should be carded around to the back and undersides of the elements as well. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee review the plans in light of the staff comments raised in this report. If the Committee feels that there are significant issues remaining that should be addressed by the applicant for additional Committee review, then this item should be brought back for further Committee consideration prior to scheduling the item for another Planning Commission Workshop. However, if the Committee feels it more appropriate to have the unresolved items be reviewed again by the full Planning Commission at a workshop, then the Committee should direct the applicant and staff to schedule another Planning Commission Workshop. Attachment: Planning Commission Minutes Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: David Barker, Heinz Lumpp, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Steve Hayes DRC COMMENTS CUP 95-11 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES August 1, 1995 Page 4 The Committee (Barker, Lumpp, Fong) recommended that, based on the significance of the remaining unresolved issues, that the project should be forwarded to another full Planning Commission Workshop to potentially resolve the remaining design issues. The Committee and/or the applicant did offer the following comments at the meeting: Site Plan: Item No. I - Item No. 2 - Item No. 3 - Item No. 4 - Item No. 5 - Item No. 6 - Item No. 7 - The applicant stated that, based on the uncertainty of the market, that the preparation of a master plan for the residential area was not feasible at this time. To move along the commercial project, the applicant stated they would agree to a Condition of approval that allows staff to develop the design guidelines and add them to the Community Plan for addressing the buffer and the edge treatment between the commercial and the residential developments. No resolution was reached between the Committee and the applicant on this issue. Further discussion of this item should occur at the Planning Commission Workshop. The Committee felt the linear appearance of the storefronts had been modified sufficiently to address previous Commission concerns. The Committee felt that the most recent revision to this intersection, with a greater degree of symmetry, would be acceptable with proper signage and striping. The Committee recommended that these pads be modified to reflect proper stacking now. Moving the pick-up windows on these pads may allow for the required stacking, to the satisfaction of staff. The applicant is proposing to use the Foothill Boulevard sidewalk with sidewalk cormectious f~om Foothill Boulevard to the pad buildings to provide the pedestrian link to the pad buildings. This would be a depama~ from previous Commission poli~y, and the Commission should discuss this in greater detail at the workshop. The applicant agreed to finish the sidewalk connections from the public right-of- way to the site. However, the Committee also recommended additional north/south pedestrian connections throughout the project to connect pad buildings with the major tenants. Item No. 8 - Item No. 9 - Cross-sections were provided at the Design Review Committee meeting showing how the loading areas would be screened. Considerable discussion occurred on whether the screen wall along Poplar Drive should be continued west to screen the areas where trucks will off-load lumber and other building supplies, however, no consensus was reached by the Committee on this issue. Additional discussion of this item should occur at the Planning Commission Workshop. More elaborate Design Guidelines have been prepared and will be given to the other three Planning Commissioners at the Planning Commission Workshop, and may be discussed at that time. Architecture: Item No. I - The Committee felt that the revisions to the north elevation were sufficient to address previous Commission concerns. DRC COMMENTS CUP 95-11 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES August I, 1995 Page 5 Item No. 2 - The applicant provided line-of-site drawings to indicate that the roof equipment on the Home Depot (including the proposed satellite dish) will be completely screened from all existing development. However, of special concern in this situation would be how the equipment can be screened from the future residential multiple fmnily development north and west of the shopping center. The applicant agreed to conditioning the residential project in the future to not be able to orient buildings to cast their views onto the rooftops of the shopping center. Secondary Issues: Site Plan: Item No. I - The Committee felt that the layered colored concrete to delineate the customer pick- up lane is acceptable, but preferred not to have any paint striping over it. If sU~ping is necessary, a color other than yellow should be used. Item No. 2 - This item should be discussed further by the Planning Commission at the workshop. Item No. 3 - The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff on addressing this ;issue. Item No. 4 - The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff to resolve this concern. Item No. 5 - Architecture: The Committee felt that the recent inclusion of landscaping in front of the garden center and the house plant enclosure was sufficient to address this concern, understanding the function and heavy foot traffic associated with a Home Depot. Item No. 1 - This item was recommended to be deferred by the Committee to such time when the balance of the shopping center is proposed to be developed. Item No. 2 - The roofing material for the promenade area should be considered further at the Planning Commission Workshop. In addition to these comments, the Committee also noted that the center focal point element, now proposed as a low profile gel}o-like structure, should be considered timber by the full Planning Commission. CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Adjourned Meeting May 10, 1995 Chairman Barker called the Adjourned Meeting of the City of Rancho Cucamongs Planning Commission to order at 8:15 p.m. The meeting was held in the De Anza Room at the Rancho Cucamonga Civic Center, 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California. COMMISSIONERS: PRESENT: David Barker, Heinz Eumpp, John Melcher, Larry McNlel, Peter Tolstoy ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: APPLICANT/DEVELOpER: NEW BUSINESS Brad Bullet, city Planner; Dan Coleman, Principal Planner; Nancy Fong, Senior Planner; Steve Hayes, Associate Planner; Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer Gary Luque, Greg Hoxworth, Robert McLendon, Chuck Beechef, and Mike Lasley - Lewis Development Corporation; Greg George - Home Depot; Mark Bertone - Madole and Associates; Andrew Feola, Greg Mendosa - Feola, Carli & Archuleta Architects; Frank Coda, Vasanthi Ramahthan, Mark Shenouda - Greenberg Farrow Architects; Mike Sweeney - Land Concern A. CONDITIONAT, USE PERMIT 95-11 - WESTERN TAND PROPERTIES - The proposed development Of an integrated shopping center totaling 501,324 square feet on 47.33 acres of land with proposed phase one development consisting of a 136,953 square foot Home Depot home improvement center in the Mixed Use (commercial, Qffice, 'Residential) Dlstriot of the Terra Vlsta c~%~.unity Plan, located at the northwest corner of FOothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue - APN: 227-151-18 and 24. Related Files: Tetra Vista con~nunity Plan Amendment 95-01 and General Plan Amendment 95-01B. Brad Bulier, City Planner, introduced the Con~nissioners to the development team and stated the purpose of the workshop. He noted the status of the related applications end framed the major issues for Commission discussion. Gary Luque, Lewis Development Corporation, introduced the development team and referenced the proposed project timing for the H~ee Depot. He briefly mentioned his concern with the requirements for street improvements with the initial phase of development. Mr. Bullet suggested that, if the Commission wished to discuss this item, it could be done in conjunction with the topic of vehicular circulation, which is included on the workshop agenda. Greg Hoxworth, Lewis Development Company, elaborated on how this center was different from other shopping centers in Tetra Vista, in that all of the users are proposed to be of the larger, major-tenant variety and none of the smaller tenants typical of most centers. Steve Hayes, Associate Planner, discussed the neighborhood setting and presented the concerns related to locating this project in the existing neighborhood. Commissioner Tolstoy stated how, in the early days of the City, the con~nission was very sensitive to development in the surrounding neighborhood and that is why the area in question was designated as a mixed use site. He said it was felt that mixed use zoning would allow a better buffer to be planned and provided between the site and the existing subdivision of homes and any newly planned developments adjacent to the site. Andy Feola, Feola, Carli & Archuleta Architects, detailed the thought process behind the proposed architectural and site planning concept. Mark Bet=one, Madole & Associates, explained the technical aspects of the site grading and drainage situation. Commissioner Tolstoy asked how far the building is set back from Rochester Avenue on the new site plan alternative presented at tonight'e workshop. Mike Lasley, Lewis Development corporation, replied that it is now approximately 90 feet back from the Rochester Avenue face of curb. commissioner Tolstoy questioned the development team about the proposed trail along Rochester Avenue. Mr. Lasley reported that a meandering sidewalk would be used along the entire frontage of Rochester Avenue. Commissioner Melcher asked how wide the ultimate right of way for Rochester Avenue will be and how far the proposed 4-story hotel on the northeast corner of Rochester and Foothill will be located from the existing residences. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, presented a site plan of the hotel indicating it is approximately 125 feet from the closest existing residence. Commissioner Lumpp observed that the proposed location of the Home De~)t is approximately 135 feet fr~ the closest residence. He felt that if the building were moved back further from the proper~y' line, a traffic circulation problem, similar to that' at thel~ Upland store, would be created. In additio~, he expressed concerns that the modified plan includes a loss of landscaping against the east elevation of the building and a new vehicular access, which he felt could potentially create additional traffic hazards on site. Finally, he suggested that the beet way to lower the profile of the building, as seeM. from Rochester Avenue, would be to add on elements at a lower, more pedestrian scale, such as colonnades, overhead trellises, etc. Commissioner McNlel objected to the new driveway along Rochester Avenue, noting the traffic congestion would increase. He strongly urged the developers to provide intensified landscaping along the east side. of Home Depot and consider further lowering the pad elevation of the building. He asked who would be maintaining the landscaping along the perimeter of Home Depot. Mr. Lasley stated that Lewis Management Corporation will maintain the fin=ire shopping center landscaping. Coeamissioner Melcher asked for a conceptual design of the abutting residential project to the north in order to get a better idea of how the two uses interrelate (or conflict) with each other. PC Adjourned Minutes - 2 - May 10, 1995 Commissioner Tolstoy asked for clarification as to where the Rochester =rail is now proposed. Mr. Lasley described, in.detail, the original trail concept and its relationship to. the mixed use site and the new concept On the site perimeter acting as an additional buffer between the adjacent land uses. Commissioner Tokstoy noted that with the trail proposed on the project perimeter, an even greater opportunity will exist to provide the type of buffer needed between the two very different land uses. Commissioner Melcher requested that the width of the trail feature be similar to the width of other greenway trails used throughout Tetra Vista. Commissioner Tolstoy confronted that perhaps the Tetra Vista community Plan should be amended in order to address the economic changes related to the "big box" tenant market anticipated for the future. Mr. Suller asked for clarification'on the setback issue, whether the Commission felt the originally proposed location, 45 feet back, was preferred to the new 90-foot setback presented to the Commission this evening. No consensus of the Commission occurred at this time; however, the Commission did concur that the trail along Rochester should be upgraded. Mr. Hayes framed the vehicular circulation issue for the Commissioners. chairman Barker asked for clarification regarding the circulation pattern around the pick-up canopy. Mr. Hoxworth elaborated on the function and circulation around the pick-up canopy, as well as the interior function in the immediate area of the canopy. Frank Coda, Greenberg Farrow Architects, embellished further on the interior function of the area surrounding the pick-up canopy area. Ccetnissioner Melcher observed that truck traffic will be less intrusive if truck traffic is limited to POplar Drive, as with the original scheme. Commissioner Lumpp noted the traffic problems created near the In-N-Out Burger in the Foothill Marketplace Shopping center, and he expressed hope that resolutions to the traffic concerns could be addressed better in this situation. Co,~nissioner Tolstoy also noted that better stacking should be provided at key vehicular access points rather than at Foothill Marketplace. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, explained the problems associate~ with moving the Rochester access point to a location further south along the project frontage. C~a,,uissioner Lumpp explained why he felt the parking lot layout in'front of the Home Depot works because it disperses traffic and does not create well-marked "speedways" in the parking lot. Commissioner McNiel expressed his concerns with the layout of the parking area adjacent to the Home Depot, noting that a more pronounced access aisle should be provided to connect the Home Depot parking area with the balance of the site. PC Adjourned Minutes May 10, 1995 Ccewniseioner Tolstoy noted that most people coming from the north will decide to use Rochester Avenue. Mr~ Hayee referenced the linear arrangement of the bdildinge and asked for .Commis~io~=inlmFt o~ this issue. Mr. Feola talked about the uniqueness of the project and how the promenade element acts as a focal point for the storefronts. He noted that the movement in the storefronts had been increased since the December workshop. Chairman Barker noted his concern that the solid wall of buildings does not have a penetration (i.e., plaza) and stretches for the same distance as from Target to Ross in the Tetra Vista Town Center. Commissioner Melther asked how wide the pedestrian walkway is under the trellis. Greg Mendoza, Greenberg Farrow Architects, responded that it is planned to be 10 feet. c~m~issioner McNiel recommended that some landscaping be introduced in front of the Home Depot as well. commissioner Lumpp- stressed the importance of providing logical and clear pedestrian connections to link the entire project. Mr. Feola explained to the Commissioners how the movement in the promenade element is substantial, not just straight as earlier commented. C~,..issioner Lumpp rec~um~nded that the treatment in front of the Home Depot be softshed in some way to be more consistent with the rest of the project and be carried across the front of the garden center area. He recon~ended thai: the architect explore the possibility of moving the Home Depot south to aj.d in breaking up the linear effect along the storefronts. He again stressed the importance of providing a linear pedestrian connection from the west to east side of the project. Mr. Lasley explained the problems associated with moving the driveways along Orchard Avenue relative to providing a pedestrian connection along the lower-half of the project area. Chairman Barker noted that the project still appears quite' linear in two dimensions. Commissioner McMiel requested that the applicant identify the pedestrian connections better for major entrances to parking areas. Mike Sweeney, Land Concern, highlighted the attributes of the storefront promenade feature, stressing that the feature extends over the entire storefront area instead of being concentrated in one specific plaza area. Mr. Bullet asked the C~lssion for clarification on the pedestrian circulation system. Chairman Barker asked for input from other Commissioners as to whether the pedestrian circulation as proposed meets the intent and goals of the Tetra Vista Co~tnunity Plan. Commissioner Eumpp felt that it would, with the suggested changes. Pc Adjourned Minutes - 4 - May 10, 1995 Mr. Mendoza presented the proposed revisions to the other site planning issues raised in the staff report. Co~u~iseioner Melcher felt that more room should be allowed for the proposed drive-thru restaurants for maneuvering, parking, and outdoor'eating areas. Commissioner McNiel expressed his concern with placing a service station adjacent to the major project entrance. Commissioner Eumpp stated that it would be his preference to provide sit-down restaurants and that the service station be provided at the corner of Foothill and Orchard. Chairman Barker expressed his concern with the garden shop on the west side of Major One. Mr. Lasley suggested that this issue he deferred and considered with the appropriate phase of development. Mr. Sweeney elaborated on the proposed activity center concept and the differences between a formal versus the proposed informal design. Mr. Buller further framed the issue for the commission, explaining the concept used on the Masi project and how the concepts could be tied together to create some uniformity for all four corners. chairman Barker stated his preference for the original, more informal concept. Commissioner McNlel stated why he feels the pedestrian activity centers are a good idea. c~missioner Tolstoy felt that the applicant could take advantage of providing different levels of activity at each corner within the activity center. c~mnissioner Melcher clarified that the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) requires consistency among the four corners within an activity center and that anything else would be in violation of the spirit of the plan. Mowever, he disagreed with the FBSP =equirement in this situation, and felt that the original concept of the applicant was highly preferred. Commissioner Lumpp noted that the historic relevance of the corner and its buildings could be taken into consideration with the design of the activity center. Commissioner Melther felt that the formal design could be applied once transitioning away from the corner to bring in the element of consistency with the Masi project and future development on the other corners. Commissioner Lumpp expressed his support for the unique individuality of the center. Mr. Feola stated that a design criteria package would be develope~ to ensure that the architecture of the pad buildings would be complexenter7 to the line of major tenants. Mr. Lasley ensured the tomlesion that such guidelines could be enforced. PC Adjourned Minutes - 5 - May 10, 1995 Mr. Lasley explained the architectural differences to the commission and pointed out the elements that tie the Home Depot to the rest of the center. Commissioner Tolstoy requested that something be done to soften the front elevation of Home Depot. Mr. Coda embellished on the function in front of the Home Depot and stated that maybe the promenade element could be extended to be in front of the garden center and on the east side of the building. Commissioner Tolstoy felt that the architecture did not have enough detail. Camnlssioner McNiel agreed with Mr. Coda and thought that carrying the promenade element to be in front of the garden center and nursery would be a good idea. Chairman Barker felt that the ~levations adjacent to existing and future residential development should be studied further. Mr. Feola presented the metal roof and its proposed use to the coemiseion and asked for comments. Two of the Co~zaissioners liked its proposed use. G-~lssioner McNlel noted that he did not object to its use on the surface, but he felt that it would create a precedent for a lack of quality design for the future. Mr. Buller asked for Commission con=nents on the central tower element. Chairman Barker did not like the low profile and bulk of the new central element and noted his preference for the original taller, more open and airy tower ele~aent. Commissioner Lumpp expressed the need for a significant focal feature. Mr. Boiler recapped the- major coemente generated from the worksho$1 and recommended that another workshop be held, at which time a better phasing plan for on-site and off-site improvements be prepared. The meeting adjourned 12z05 e.m.

OLD BUSINESS CONDITIONAT. USE PERMIT 95-11 NESTERM T.aLND PROPERTIES - The proposed develol~nent of an integrated shopping center totaling 491,324 square feet on 47.33 acres of land with proposed phase one developseen= consisting of a 136,953 square foot Hoeae Depot home improvement center in the Mixed Use (Commercial, Office, Residential) District of the Tetra Vista Community Plan, located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue - APNz 227-151-18 and 24. Related Fileel Tetra Vista Con~unity Plan Amendment 9S-01 and General Plan Amendment 95-01B. Brad Bullet, City Planner, summarized the issues raised at the May 10, 1995, workshop and the purpose of today's workshop. Robert McLendon, Lewis Development Company, highlighted the revie~ons to the master site plan. Greg Mendoze, Feola, carli & Archuleca Architec~e, explained the specLfic changes made to the architecture and site plan in response to the previous workshop. The s~ecific issues highlighted werel 1) change in the truck access for H~me Depot; 2} moving Staples northward; 3) the new north/south drive aisle wee= of the Home Depot parking area; 4) the addition of the service station; 5) lining up the handicapped parking with the main storefront entrances; 6) moving the curb cut north on Orchard; and 7) the moving of Major One south to give more curve to the main drive aisle. Commissioner McNiel asked if the setback along the rear property line was the same as the original proposal. Greg Mendoza, Feels, carli & Archuleta Architects, responded that this setbac~ had not changed. Commissioner McNiel inquired as to how many large trucks per day would be dropping off building materials. Mark Schenouda, Greenberg Farrow Architects, stated that five trucks per day could be expected. Mike Lasley, Consultant, highlighted where the screen wall is pulled back from the street and extended in distance on the new site plan. He noted that the screen wall will give an appearance of being approximately 10 feet high from the perimeter streets. co~muissioner Lumpp expressed his concern that the screen wall may potentially be getting too long. conunissioner McNiel asked if Poplar Avenue would be signalized. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that Rochester and Poplar Avenues will not be signalized. Cc~uissioner Lumpp requested an explanation for the theory of screening the off- loading area from Poplar Avenue. Jill Sweeney, Land Concern, explained how the proposed hierarchy of trees. and shrubs would screen this area. Mr. Buller pointed out to the Commiseion that there may be a concern with the screening of the off-loading area west of the transformer. He felt that additional cross-sections should be provided to depict the proposed screening in this area. Mr. Lasley noted that a screen wall could be added on top of the pro]~sed retaining well an~ that additional landscaping could be used to provide better screening. Chairman Barker was concerned with the potential impact of the rear of the buildings on the future reeidential projects north of the co~mercial site. Commissioner McNlel agreed with chairman Barker and added that the rear elevations should still be upgraded, as well as the landscape concept. Chairman Barker reiterated that he is especially sensitive to this concern in this area given the close proximity of the residential areas. Mr. Lasley noted that the screen wall will be 2 feet higher than the loading doere on the nor~h side of the building. ~lssioner McNlel added that the east elevation still may need some additional architectural enhancements. MS. Sweeney explained the changes made since the first workshop onthe Rochester trail system. PC Adjourned Minutes -2- May 31,. 1995 Mr. Mendoza presented the changes made to =he front of the Home Depot including a change in the columns to match the rest of the center, the addition of a wood trellis, and the upgraded design of the lu~ber pick-up area structure that matches the rest of the center. Mr. Buller asked how close the pop-out on the building comes to the curb. Mr. Mendoza responded 12 to 13 feet and highlighted for the Commission how the pedestrian walkway would work in this area. chairman Barker asked the architect to look into modifying the pop-out on the front elevation to be less obtrusive to the pedestrian walkway system. Mr. Mendoza highlighted the modifications made to the pick-up canopy area. Chairman Barker reiterated his earlier concern of how, even with the changes made to the circulation around the piCk-up canopy, motorists will disperse in the parking lot directly south of the Home Depot. Commissioner Lumpp liked the parking lot layout in this area and how it forces people to scatter as opposed to denoting drive aisles of major vehicular activity. He expressed the need for the applicant to hold a neighborhood meeting soon in case the neighborhood has different ideas about the project. He felt that the cornices were designed too close together, but that the building should not be raised as a potential solution. Chairman Barker expressed his dislike for the striping in front of the Hcme Depot and recommended that special paving be used ae a potential solution to denote the loading area. Commissioner McNlel felt that a traffic control system should be devised to help internal circulation flow better. Co6~nisaloner Tolstoy asked if any flat cart storage is planned to be provided in the Home Depot parking area. This issue was discussed' and it was determined that this may not be a good idea given the Hans Depot's employee policy on car~ returns and that human nature does not lend itself toward using the return areas. ccamnissioner Lum~ suggested that one large area for cart returns may be the best alternative. Cc~nissioner MeXiel referenced the situation at Target where the cart storage is concealed by architectural additions to the bui~ding. Commissioner Lumpp indicated his support now to be able to provide a better pedestrian connection between Home Depot and Staples. Mr. Bullet asked the applicant to provide a plan that shows how the plaza area in front of Home Depot and Staples works. Mr. Loslay talked about the proposed s~gn program and specificaZly the signage size for Home Depot. PC Adjourned Minutes -3- May 31, 1995 Co~iesioner McNiel recommended thee the sign size be reduced and that several alternatives be provided so that the sign is in proper proportion with building facade. Two sign alternatives were presented to the Commission, one with 60-inch · internally illuminated orange letters and the other with 72-inch letters. commissioner McNiel asked the architect to make sure that the pick-up canopy treatment used on the exterior side of the element is carried around to the undersides of the element as well. He also felt that the pop-out area on the front side of the Home Depot was an afterthought and that it should be eliminated or moved to a location that does not interfere with pedestrian circulation. He expressed his concerns with the length of the flat parapet and the minimal depth of the entry element. He noted that some columns should be used at logical termination points to enhance the appearance of the building. Chairman Barker asked for an explanation of the service station area. Mr. Mendoze explained the internal circulation patterns and the functions of the service station. Chairman Barker felt something should be done to provide better balance and s~a~metry at the main entrance. Mr. Lasley suggested that Pad E could bero=ated to be on an angle to match. the service station building and harmonize the theme through landscaping. Mr. Bullet mentioned that the spacing and patterning of the-Craps Myrtle trees could be tightened up on the proJec~ site and pavement patterns similar to those used across Foothill Boulevard could be used to ~ntegrate the activity center better with the Masi project on the opposite side of Foothill Boulevard. He noted that the special paving treatment should be extended to the first project driveway to match the Mas~ project.

SEP 13 1995 ~i~y_ oj~Rancho Cucamonga CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: September 13, 1995 Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission Brad Buller, City Planner Scott Murphy, AICP, Associate Planner CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-22 - WILCOX - A request to convert a 600 square foot workshop into a second dwelling unit in the Very Low Residential designation (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at 10802 Hillside Road - APN: 074-401-08. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Surroundino Land Use and Zoning: North - Single family residential; Very Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) South - Single family residential; Very Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) East Single family residential; Very Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) West Single family residential; Very Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) B, Site Characteristics: The site is currently developed with a single family residence containing a two-car garage. The north-south lot is generally graded into two relatively flat areas, the area of the house and the southern portion of the site proposed for the second dwelling unit. The area immediately south of the house is a swimming pool. A local equestrian trail parallels the southern property line. ANALYSIS: Background: In 1990, the applicant constructed a one-car garage and a 600 square foot workshop. The workshop contains a bathroom which is serviced by a separate septic sewer system. All required permits were obtained for the accessory structure and all inspections were completed. General: The applicant is now requesting approval to convert the workshop into a second dwelling unit. The unit will contain one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, and living room. The structure is located at the east side of the site, approximately 25 feet from the main residence and 85 feet from the rear property line. The structure is single story. The structure is attached to a one-car garage. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 95-22 - WILCOX September 13, 1995 Page 2 C, Sewage DisDosah In conjunction with the workshop/garage addition, the applicant obtained permits for the construction of a second private septic system. The system serves only the new structure. Under the Development Code requirements, the applicant must provide the City with written certification from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board that the additional septic system is permissible. The applicant has provided a letter from the Water Board indicating their acceptance of the second septic system (see Exhibit "D"). D, Parkinq: State law allows the City to establish development cdteria for the construction of second dwelling units including, but not limited to, parking, setbacks, and height. The law allows the City to require one parking stall for each bedroom of the second dwelling unit. In this case, one space would be required. The City requires that the space be within a garage. This requirement is in addition to the required 2-car garage for the main residence. The applicant has an existing three-car garage attached to the main residence and a one-car garage attached to the workshop. Therefore, the applicant meets the Code requirements. E= Covenants. Codes & Restrictions (CC&RS): While the City does not enforce the CC&Rs, staff has been contacted by staff of the Homeowners' Association (HOA) about the CC:&Rs' prohibition on second dwelling units and the HOA's objection to the application. They indicated a representative will be available at the meeting to more fully state their position. CC&Rs are private agreements between the property owners within the subdivision. Approval or denial of the application should not be based solely on the contents of the CC&Rs. Staff has requested a copy of the CC&Rs to vedfy the statements. The information was not available for inclusion in the report. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public headng on the matter. If the Planning Commission finds that the application is appropriate given the merits of the project, approval of the attached Resolution is recommended.
