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)
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 the
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:
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
com. pleted the initial review and has forwarded correction comments to the applicant's traffic
consultant. As of the wdting 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.
Air Quality: 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 the
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:
AoDroodateness 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 private data vendors. This new
review provides the following information:
Because of the Ontario Mills Centers 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 Ten'a Vista area. In addition, the consultant had a strong belief that the Kinart 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 altematives.
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
of this 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 bdghter economic picture that really exists.
The study concludes 'q'he 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 vedfies the current need for additional commercial
development in the community.
ADDroodateness of high density residential uses in the area and within the specific site: The
current Terra 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 allocated
for the shopping center. While 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 charactedstice in the immediate area (see Exhibit "B").
D. Alternate land uses:
Commercial (General) - This designation, provides a wide range of use activities
odented to provide more local commercial services. While 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

A. Add buffering criteda 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 Ddve and Foothill Boulevard.
C,
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 Apd11990 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 tV-64).
3. Figure 111-16 and Figure 111-17 should be amended to include regional as well as
Citywide bds 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
district 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 primary
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,
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.

CORRESPONDENCE: These items have been advertised as a public headng in the Inland Valley
Dailv Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to all property
owners within 300 feet of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Because of the lack of a completed traffic impact analysis, staff cannot, 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. With such a finding, staff could recommend approval of these applications through
adoption of the attached Resolutions.

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 Terre Vista Promenade at the N/WIC of Rochester Avenue and Foothill
Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga. This center will be of the strip WPe 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* WPe 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 Clarites/NPDC -
a private data vendor. This data afforded an indication of the present level of retail
demand in the market area. Similsdy, development of additional retail space since the
last studies were completed -- including the planned Ontario 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 nsady 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~realhl development 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 sto~es 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 purebase 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 CucamoncJa Market Araa's Competitive Alignment. Since the
last evaluation a number of developments have occurred or been announced which will
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 Ontado. 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 faciliW'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
Tetra 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 added
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 araa'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.

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 Pdman/zone which is roughly corerruinous with
the City of Rancho Cucamonga as well as a Secondan/zone which includes primarily the
Fontana 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 needy 400,000 in 2005 and 2010,
respectively. Thus, during the fifteen year planning pedod, 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 Priman/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 various 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 pattems in particular ~egions of the U.S.
Table 3 outlines the updated expenditure potential indications in the Primary 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 constam
dollars which eliminate any future inflation which may occur. RDR has evaluated only
the Priman/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 needy $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%.

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 incorDorated
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 nearly $187.0 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 has
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 which
was added since 1992 was of the DSTM type.
This evaluation is, accordingly, extremely conservative since only the Primary zone is
considered in the calculations and secondly all the new space has ben 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 revised
population projections from SCAG and lower levels of income indicated by
Claritas/NPDC.
qlF realfY ClevelopmenT research. inc.
Mr. are~org N. Xoxworth
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 ROR 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 Kman
space yields a total planned area of 330,000 square feet.
Applying the $250 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 $321.0 million and
about $109.0 million, respectively.

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 outlets
will provide especially appropriate store formats to address this growing market.

Re:
Questions Regarding Research Update;
Market Support For New Retail Space;
Rancho Cucamonga, California
Dear Mr. Warren:
Mr. Gary Luque of Lewis Homes Management Corp. forwarded a copy of your recent
memorandum and asked that I address your questions directly to expedite the review
process. 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 Cucamongao
I apologize about the difficulty you encountered in reviewing our report. Unfortunately it
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 Cucamonge Since Last Mmket Review end Planned
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 period was at the tail end of a national recession '-
one more deeply expedenced in southern California. These recessionary 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 Terra 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
August15,1995
was determined that an additional 80,000 square feet of DSTM space -o in excess
of that previously indicated -- was added to the marketplace since 1993.
Accordingly, RDR's current review of the Rancho Cucamonga area indicates that
approximately 265,000 square feat 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 Terra 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 heady 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.
Terra Vista's vacancy rate was 4.9% while neighborhood and specialty/promotional
centers elsewhere in the community had a combined 4.7% rate. Separately
q~r realfy Cfeveiopment research, inc.
Mr. Alan Warren, AICP Page 3
August15,1995
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 Tetra Vista
Square. This space was either leased or in the lease negotiation stage although it
appeared vacant. Accordingly, this perspective corroborates the appropriateness of
our focus on changes which have occurred in 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 1992
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 Kmart Building. The report stated that a very
strong probability exists that the existing Kinart store will be recycled into another
non-retail commercial use. It is this consuItant's opinion that retail is not the
highest and best use at this location.
The proximity to a governmental center does not necessarily mean demand for
additional public sector space as stated in your memorandum, it can also relate to

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
This change is proposed to allow for the development of
a major "big box" retail center on the maiority 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.
ReQuired 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 ! 1
Changing the land use designation of the site to allow for
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 setback's 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 Drive 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
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
~i!!~!~~i~i ~!! Under the current
designation, 18.9 acres are listed as MH (medium high)
density and 9.9 acres ere designated M (medium) density
for a total of 448 residential units, The proposed lend use
plan would include ii~i~~ acres of H (high) density for a
total of ~ residential units, resulting in an increase ~f
~ units o~"the site. ~ .....
Why this Amendment Is Needed

Park and Greenway System
The backbone of the Terra Vista community is the
greenway, 8 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 Greenwav 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

· Trail access to all school sites
Each of these criteria is explained further below.
Greenwav 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 Terra
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 Tetra
Vista. Terra Vista residents will be encouraged to avail
themselves of the pleasant walking and bicycfing 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.

,atibilitv with Adjacent Develooments. Lower
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 ir~ 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.

Mix of Housing Densities along Greenway
In the northwest neighborhood, the two MH parcels are
both on the greenway/trail system as well as on the
loop parkway, and close to a key intersection
appropriate for transit stops.
In the southwest neighborhood, there is one MH parcel
on the greenway system, adjacent to or opposite three
parks and at a key intersection. There are two H
parcels, both at key intersections, and an H parcel
within a major mixed-use development along the
greenway and at a key intersection.
In the southeast neighborhood, there are three higher-
density residential parcels. An MH parcel is situated
~!i~i~ a park and at a key ntersection; and i!~ H
~': ~ located near a key ntersection and :::~n::~he
loop parkway.
Relationship to Public Open Space Amenities and Alternative
Transportation Facilities. 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 Terra 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

of Densities Within All Neighborhoods. Each
neighborhood in Term 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 mere 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
Community Commercial ICC). The Community Commercial
parcel at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue
can accommedate depertmant store development,

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
Rancho 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.

111-26
Mixed Use Center Concel;)t
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.
Resoonse 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.

the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This is described more
fully in Section IV.
SPeCific Mixed Use DeveloDmentl
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 ~t Avenue feature an even broader
spectrum of fG~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
Foothill 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.
~L{]].~_~ZY_. As the previous discussions have noted,
mixed use centers offer:
· A variety of activities and opportunities.
A lower need for use of the automobile, since
numerous tasks can be accomplished without the
need for intermediate car trips.
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.

FOOTNOTES FOR STATISTICAL SUMMARY
TABLE 111-2
It is assumed that a portion of the land shown in
residential use will be developed in community uses
through the process described elsewhere in this plan. 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 e~cluded 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 built. 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
van/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.
8
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
Summan/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.

Landscaping of Local Streets
Buffer and Edge Conditions
The Terra Vista landscape concept affects more than the
visual and recreational aspects of the community.
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

Trails
In addition to the primary greenway spine, secondary
greenway trails, generally running in a north-south
direction, extend into and through all parts of the
community, as described in Chapter III. These secondary
linkages have separate bicycle and pedestrian paths in
some instances and combined paths in other instances.
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 Familv Adjacent to Both Sides of the
Trail (Trail Type C). 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 Multifamily 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 Roadways (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.

the centers the place to go rather than one or two
individual entities within them. 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 SDecific 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
® sdical 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 Tetra 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

...................
Site Rannino and Pedestrian Network
Each cemer along Foothill Boulevard will have a different
appeermx~ from the boulevard within the context of the uniform
Term Vista design image. As indicated conceptually in F~ura IV-
65, the arrangement of buildings, perking areas, and pedestrian
walkways is unique to each enter. For example:
· In the Town Center, smaller buildings are clustered dose 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 Cernmercial Park, as in the Town Center, larger
buildings am set back away from Foothill Boulevard and the
smalbr buildings am located near Foothill Boulevard and along
a central perk-like entry. A large open space with a pedestrian
spine traverses the site from north to south. Primary perking
access will be from Foothill Boulevard, Spruce Avenue across
from Town Center Drive, and from Elm Avenue. Service
screening from Church Street. The pedestrian pathway abng
REVtSEDAmerdmentNoe. l,6,7&9
Elm Avenue will connect with the Trail System and La
Mission Park.
In the Financial/Restaurant PI,q~, buildings will encircle the
site; centralized perking will serve all establishments but be
hidden from view from Foothill Boulevard. The pedestrian
walkway will assume a circular configuration around the
perking 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 well back
from Foothill Boulevard, A pedestrian path will bad to the
site and will, in turn, connect with the trail system.

development pattern that uses scale, rhythm, and variety
to excellent advantage.

Landscape Concept along Foothill Boulevard
Landscape Treatment. 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
Boulevard i. conformance with ~,~i~iE~!i!;~ii~q
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.

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. Lan. dscaping and low berms 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 ~lloi~g a portion of Rochester
Avenue and a Type B trail will screen parking and
loading aress 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 end 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.
~L.q3~_9.~. 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 soma 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSES SMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-11 -
LEWIS DEVELOPMENT CO. - The proposed development of an integrated
shopping center totaling 495,736 square feet on 47.33 acres of land with proposed
phase one consisting of a 132,065 square foot Home Depot home improvement
center in the Mixed Use (Commercial, Office, Residential) District of the Terra Vista
Community Plan, located at the northwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and
Rochester Avenue - APN: 227-151-18 and 24. Related Files: General Plan
Amendment 95-01-B, Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment 95-01, and
Tentative Parcel Map 14022. (Continued from September 13, 1995).
At its regular meeting on September 13, 1995, the Hanning Commission continued this item and all
related items to allow the applicant sufficient time to complete the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
to the satisfaction of SANBAG and City staff. Because it was not known at the time of preparation
of this report (and the advertising deadline) if the TIA will be accepted by SANBAG and City staff
in time for the Planning Commission to take final action on September 27, this item has been
advertised to be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
In addition, the Commission directed the applicant to work with staff to clarify a number of issues
raised by the developer during public testimony at the September 13 meeting. Staff met with Lewis
Homes and the majority of the issues have been addressed. The resolution has been updated as
appropriate. The wording was clarified on Planning Conditions 4, 9, 19, 42, and 46, Planning
Condition 30 regarding tree replacement was deleted, Planning Condition 18 regarding outdoor
displays was deleted in favor of Planning Condition 38, and Planning Condition 32 regarding the
Design Guidelines was deleted in favor of Planning Condition 11. Other Planning conditions were
discussed, but wording remains as originally proposed. The wording was clarified on Engineering
Condition 9, Engineering Condition ld was revised to allow the 18-inch corrugated metal pipe
crossing Foothill Boulevard to be abandoned in place with a slurry fill, Engineering Condition 2 was
clarified to indicate that the driveway shall align with the future Masi Drive as currently designed,
and Engineering Condition 20 was revised to allow the developer to submit a request for a refund
of a portion of the in-lieu fee for the future undergrounding of existing overhead utilities on the
opposite side of Rochester Avenue. The applicant may still wish to address several conditions.

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 criteda 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 Ddve. 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 ddveway along Rochester Avenue, directly across
from Chervil Street.
With Phase 1 development, the applicant is proposing to take vehicular access from two
locations along Foothill Boulevard, two driveways on Rochester Avenue, and one driveway
on Poplar Ddve. One of the driveways along Foothill Boulevard is for vehicles entering the
site only, while the other lines up with the future Masi Ddve to the south. The second
ddveway on the Rochester Avenue frontage is exclusively for large trucks exiting the lumber
off-loading area in back of the Home Depot. The ddveway on Poplar Ddve 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 hardscabe, with
elements tying together this design with the activity center designed for the Masi project.
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.

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 buffedng 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.
Parking: As noted in the parking calculations for the project, Phase 1 development would be
deficient 95 parking spaces as shown on the Phase 1 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 criteda (including parking ) will be
provided in accordance with City standards and policies.
Plannine Commission WorkshoDs/Design Review Committee: The Planning Commission
held a series 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 pdmary 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 ddve aisle along Poplar Ddve.
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.

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 buffedng
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 hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletir~ 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 95-11 and 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.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
6:20 p.m. Steve Hayes August 1, 1995
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-11 WESTERN LAND
PROPERTIES - The developmere of an integrated shopping cemer totaling approximately 495,736
square feet on 47.33 acres of land with proposed phase one consisting of a 132,065 square foot Home
Depot home improvement center in the Mixed Use (Commercial, Residential, Office) District of the
Tetra Vista Community Plan, located at the northwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester
Avenue - APN: 227-151 - 18 and 24. Related Files: Tetra Vista Community Plan Amendment 95-01 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 housing tract exists, and to the south a building exists that will be retained for the future Masi
Plaza 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 conjunction
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 part of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Activity Center Area for the intersection of Foothill and
Rochester, 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 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 sc~en the loading area from view of Rochester Avenue and the future Poplar Drive, the
building has been set back 80 feet from the curb along Rochester, and traffic control measures as required
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 landscape 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 internal 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 discussion.
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
Page 2
Site Plan:
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 connectious 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 red~signed to be at more of a tight
angle. In addition, the sweeping curve leading up from 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 dtive-
thru lanes. Typically, 8-10 car stacking 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 mar 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 Tetra Vista Town Center) should be
provided for Committee review.
Architecture:
The rear (north) elevation of the Home Depot should be significantly upgraded, being that it will
face future residential development.
Screening of roof-motmted 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 pan 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 Committee
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
DRC COMMENTS
CUP 95-11 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
August 1, 1995
Page 3
The landscal~ 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 pan 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 tirst 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
carried 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.

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 -
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.
Item No. 2 -
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.
Item No. 3 -
The Committee felt the linear appearance of the store~'onts had been modified
sufficiently to address previous Commission concerns.
Item No. 4 -
Item No. 5 -
The Committee felt that the most recent revision to this intersection, with a greater
degree of symmelry, 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.
Item No. 6 -
The applicant is proposing to use the Foothill Boulevard sidewalk with sidewalk
connections from Foothill Boulevard to the pad bullclings to provide the pedestrian
link to the pad buildings. This would be a departure from previous Commission
policy, and the Commission should discuss this in greater detail at the workshop.
Item No. 7 o
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 -
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 wail 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.
Item No. 9 -
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 1, 1995

Item No. 2 -
Seconda2Cy Issues:
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 family
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.
Item No. 1 -
Item No. 2 -
Item No. 3 -
Item No. 4 -
Item No. 5 -
Architecture:
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 slfiping
is necessary, a color other than yellow should be used.
This item should be discussed further by the Planning Commission at the workshop.
The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff on addressing this issue.
The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff to resolve this concerto
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. I -
Item No. 2 -
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.
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 gazebo-like structure, should be considered further by the full Planning
Commission.

located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue -
APN: 227-151-18 and 24. Related Files: Terra Vista Community Plan
Amendment 95-01 and General Plan Amendment 95-01B.
Brad Buller, city Planner, introduced the Commissioners to the development team
and stated the purpose of the workshop. He noted the status of the related
applications and framed the major issues for commission discussion.
Gary Luque, Lewis Development Corporation, introduced the development team and
referenced the proposed project timing for the Home 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 Commission
was very sensitive to development in the surrounding neighborhood and that is why
the area in question wes 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 Bertone, 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's 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 Depot is
approximately 135 feet from the closest residence. He felt that if the building
were moved back f~rther from the property line, a traffic circulation problem,
similar to that at their-Upland store, would be created. In addition, he
expressed concerns that the modified plan includes a lo88 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 best way to lower the profile of the building, as seen from
Rochester Avenue, would be to add on elemente at a lower, more pedestrian scale,
such as colonnades, overhead trellises, etc.
Commissioner McNiel 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 sta~ed that Lewis Management Corporation will maintain the entire
shopping center landscaping.
Commissioner 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 trail 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 Tolstoy 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 commented that perhaps the Terra 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. Mullet 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 imediate area of the canopy.
Frank Coda, Greenberg Farrow Architects, embellished further on the interior
function of the area surrounding the pick-up canopy area.
Commissioner Melcher observed that truck traffic will be less intrusive if truck
traffic is limited to Popla~ 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.
Commissioner 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 associated with moving
the Rochester access point to a location further south along the project
frontage.
commissioner 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
- 3 - May 10, 1995
Co~nissioner Tolstoy noted that most people coming from the north will decide
use Rochester Avenue.
Mr. Hayes referenced the linear arrangement of the buildings and asked for
Commission input on 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 Marker 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 Melcher asked how wide the pedestrian walkway is under the trellis.
Greg Mendoza, Greenberg Farrow Architects, responded that it is planned to be 10
feet.
Co~nissioner 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.
Commissioner Lumpp recommended 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. Me recommended that the
architect explore the possibility of moving the Home Depot south to aid 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 McNiel 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. Buller asked the Commission 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
community Plan.
Commissioner Lumpp felt that it would, with the suggested changes.
Mr. Mendoza presented the proposed revisions to the other site planning issues
raised in the staff report.
Commissioner 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 Lumpp 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 be 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 McNiel stated why he feels the pedestrian activity centers are a
good idea.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt that the applicant could take advantage of providing
different levels of activity at each corner within the activity center.
commissioner Melcher clarified that the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP)
requires consistency among the four corners within an activity center and that
anythfng else would be in violation of the spirit of the plan. However, he
disagreed with the FBSP requirement 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.
Comissioner Melcher 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 developed to ensure that
the architecture of the pad buildings would be complementary to the line of major
tenants.
Mr. Lasley ensured the Commission that such guidelines could be enforced.
Commissioner Melcher observed that Home Depot does not relate to the rest of the
center in terms of architecture.
Mr. Lasley explained the architectural differences to the Co~unission 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.
Commissioner 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 elevations adjacent to existing and future
residential development should be studied further.
Mr. Feola presented the metal roof and its proposed use to the Commission and
asked for Comments.
Two of the Commissioners did not like its proposed use.
Commissioner McNiel 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. Bullet asked for Commission comments 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
element.
Commissioner Eumpp expressed the need for a significant focal feature (related
to the clock tower element).
Mr. Bullet recapped the major comments generated from the workshop 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 12:05 a.m.

development of an integrated shopping center totaling 491,324 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

Avenue - APN: 227-151-18 and 24. Related Files: Tetra Vista Community
Plan Amendment 95-01 and General Plan Amendment 95-01B.
Brad Buller, 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 revisions to the
master site plan.
Greg Mendoza, Feola, Carli & Archuleta Architects, explained the specific changes
made to the architecture and site plan in response to the previous workshop. The
specific issues highlighted were: 1) change in the truck access for Home Depot;
2) moving Staples northward; 3} the new north/south drive aisle west 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 southto 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 Mendoze, Feola, carli & Archuleta Architects, responded that this setback
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.
Commissioner Lumpp questioned if the screen wall would be long enough.
Commissioner McNiel asked if Poplar Avenue would be signalized.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that Rochester and Poplar Avenues will
not be signalized.
Co~Taiseioner 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. Bullet pointed out to the Commission 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 proposed
retaining wall and 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 residential projects north of the commercial site.
Commissioner McNiel 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
doors on the north side Of the building.
Co~nissioner McNiel added that the east elevation still may need some additional
architectural enhancements.
Ms. Sweeney explained the changes made since the first workshop on the Rochester
trail system.
PC Adjourned Minutes
May 31, 1995
Mr. Mendoza presented the changes made to the front of the Home Depot inc~udlng
a change in the coluunns to match the rest of the center, =he addition of a wood
trellis, and the upgraded design of the lumber 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 maeting
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 Home Depot
and recommended that special paving be used as a potential solution to denote the
loading area.
Commissioner McNiel felt that a traffic control system should be devised to help
internal circulation flow better.
commissioner 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 Home Depot's employee policy on cart returns and that human nature does
not lend itself toward using the return areas.
Commissioner Lumpp suggested that one large area for cart returns may be the best
alternative.
commissioner McNlel referenced the situation at Target where the cart storage is
concealed by architectural additions to the building.
Commissioner Eumpp 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. Easley talked about the proposed sign program and specifically the signage
size for Home Depot.
PC Adjourned Minutes -3- C~/ May 31, 1995
Commissioner McNiel recommended that the sign size be reduced and that several
alternatives be provided so that the sign. is in proper proportion with the
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. Be 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. Mendoza explained the internal circulation patterns and the functions of the
service station.
Chairman Barker felt something should be done to provide better balance and
symmetry at the main entrance.
Mr. Lasley suggested that Pad E could be rotated to be on an angle to match the
service station building and harmonize the theme through landscaping.
Mr. Buller mentioned that the spacing and patterning of the Crape Myrtle trees
could be tightened up on the project site and pavement patterns similar to those
used across Foothill Boulevard could be used to integrate 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 Masi project.

District of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located at the northwest comer of
Foothill BoUlevard and Rochester Avenue - APN 227-151-18 and 24. Staff
recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. Related files: General Plan
Amendment 95-01 B, Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment 95-01 and
Conditional Use Permit 95-11.
At its regular meeting on September 13, 1995, the Planning Commission continued this item and all
related items to allow the applicant sufficient time to complete the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
to the satisfaction of SANBAG and City staff. Became it was not known at the time of preparation
of this report (and the advertising deadline) if the TIA will be accepted by SANBAG and City staff
in time for the Planning Commission to take final action on September 27, this item has been
advertised to be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
In addition, the Commission directed the applicant to work with staff to clarify a number of issues
raised by the developer during public testimony at the September 13 meeting. Staff met with Lewis
Homes and the majority of the issues have been addressed. The resolution has been updated as
appropriate. Engineering Condition ld was revised to allow the 18-inch corrugated metal pipe
crossing Foothill Boulevard to be abandoned in place with a slurry fill, Engineering Condition 2 was
clarified to indicate that the driveway shall align with the future Masi Drive as currently designed,
and Engineering Condition 20 was revised to allow the developer to submit a request for a refund
of a portion of in-lieu fee for the future undergrounding of existing overhead utilities on the opposite
side of Rochester Avenue. Other Engineering conditions were discussed, but wording remains as
originally proposed. The applicant may still wish to address several conditions.
An additional exhibit has been prepared to show the phasing of public improvements as described
in the proposed Conditions of Approval. It is attached as Exhibit "D" after the September 13, 1995,
staff report. Also attached, as Exhibit "E", is the Terra Vista Planned Community Street
Improvement Implementation Policy. This policy only addresses construction of the main perimeter
streets. The proposed Conditions of Approval for Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue do
comply with this policy.

MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR PARCEL MAP
12959-1 - CAPELLINO - A request to modify certain conditions of approval for
a previously appmved subdivision in the General Industrial District (Subarea 8)
of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the southeast comer of Arrow
Route and White oak Avenue - APN: 209461-01, 02 and 06 through 10 and
209-471-03 through 10.
BACKGROUND: On January 8, 1992, the Planning Commission conditionally approved
Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 12959, for the subdivision of 45.01 acres of land into 22 parcels,
at the southeast comer of White Oak Avenue and Arrow Route. Engineering Condition
Number 6 requires the installation of the at grade rail crossing on Arrow Rome at the eastern
boundary of the project.
At the time the TPM was conditioned, it was anticipated that the cost to reconstruct the crossing
would be comparable to the Jersey Boulevard crossing. The Jersey Boulevard crossing was
roughly $120,000. AT&SF has estimated reconstruction of the Arrow Route crossing to be in
the range of $300,000 due to the extensive mount of track that must be removed and relayed.
The applicant has been reluctant to deposit the $300,000 with the City to initiate the
improvements. Engineering staff informed the applicant that building permits for future
buildings may be withheld until the $300,000 is deposited. After further discussions, the
applicant submitted a request to be relieved from the requirement to deposit the funds before
his development is allowed to continue.
The transportation fee credits that have been granted to date total $132,256.29 with only 18%
of the project developed. Since this is a transportation fee eligible improvement, staff intends
on going forward with the improvements in house. Funds already in the transportation fee
program will be utilized to construct the crossing. Ultimate development of this site will
provide approximately $735,000 in transportation fees.
Staff is recommending Engineering Condition Number 6 be rewritten to provide for payment
of transportation fees. This will allow for a more timely completion of the Arrow Route
widening at the crossing and the applicant to continue the development of his site.

BY:
Dan Coleman, Principal Planner
SUBJECT:
GRUBB &jELLIS - A request to consider initiation of text changes to add thrift
stores as a Community Commercial use within Subarea 3 of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grubb & Ellis Company, acting as the leasing agent for.the
Foothill V'~lage shopping center located at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Hellman
Avenue, is requesting that thrift stores be allowed. This requires a text change to include thrit~ stores
as a commercial use in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The property is zoned "Community
Commercial." Specific Plan text changes can only be initiated by the Planning Commission or City
Council.
BACKGROUND: Staff's preliminaxy research indicates that thriR stores, sometimes called "second-
hand stores," and pawn shops were intentionally excluded from the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
The Development Code allows second-hand stores and pawn shops as a permitted use within the
General Commercial zone. When the Foothill Boulevard Spedfie Plan was draRed in 1987, thrif~
stores and pawn shops were deemed not consistent with the goal to create a high quality commercial
corridor. To emphasize this point, the text specifically states that antique stores do not include
second-hand stores.
ANAI,YSIS: At th~ Planning Commission's direction to initiate, staff will review existing uses
allowed within the "Community Commercial" designation for Subarea 3. An analysis will also be
prepared of the existing uses within Subarea 3. Staff will research whether there are any thrift stores
elsewhere along Foothill Boulevard or in the community.
RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission desires to initiate such an amendment, then
direction to staff and the applicant by minute action would be appropriate.

Dear Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission:
The Grubb & Ellis Company represents Westrust Financial in the leasing of Foothill Village
located at the southeast corner of Foothill and Hellman.
We have received interest from the Salvation Army to place their approximate 10,000 S.F.
thrift store concept into the project. I have been advised by the planning department that the
use is currently not allowed and to convert it to an approved use would require a development
code amendment to the Foothill Specific Plan.
Prior to filing our application I request your review, consideration and feedback on this
opportunity for the project with the following in mind.
Foothill Village has had difficulty in maintaining occupancy of its shop space
due to lack of Foothill Boulevard exposure from its below grade orientation.
Salvation Army Thrift Store would create additional needed foot traffic into a
struggling project.
Salvation Army Thrift Store has the same retail appearance as most discount
stores and merchandises in a professional style.
Salvation Army would occupy space never leased since the original development
of Foothill Village in 1989
· The store would not be visible from Foothill or Hellman

· The use would be good for Foothill Village and the community with no adverse
effect to the intent of the Foothill Specific Plan
Thank you for your consideration and please advise me how to best proceed on this matter.
Very Truly Yours,
