Related file: Preliminary Review 98-10. Staff has prepared a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Rudy Zeledon, Associate Planner, gave the staff report. Mr. Zeledon noted several corrections beginning with Exhibit G in the section pertaining to Design Review Conditions. He indicated that Condition P-1 and A-2 were to be struck. He also noted that the perimeter wall will not be split face but will be stucco to match the canopy. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Ken Barton, Vice President of Operations for Fred Fiedler and Associates, located at 2322 W. Third Street, Los Angeles, expressed concern about the staff report indicating several standard conditions on which he wanted the Commission's clarification beginning with Exhibit B-26, #3 under the Engineering Division conditions found on the resolution, regarding street widening, B-31, Section F,#9, regarding the stucco treatment on the wall and if it serves as the decorative treatment required, and B-33, Section O,#1, regarding costs for street lights and the standard condition for the access ramps and signal conduits. Chairman McNiel asked the applicant for a synopsis of the functions of the proposed facility. Mr. Barton explained that the facility would operate as a non-attended fuel facility servicing primarily trucks with pre-established accounts and a few cars with accounts as well. He repoded that the facility would be monitored via video including the tanks, 24 hours per day. He stated that there would be a canopy and trash enclosure as well as an equipment enclosure. He continued by saying there would be a Cardlock monument sign on the street, as well as a sign on the equipment enclosure, but no pricing signs on the street. Commissioner Tolstoy asked where the 24 hour surveillance was being monitored and how long the response time would be in an emergency. PC Adjourned Minutes -2- March 23, 1999 Mr. Barton stated that the monitoring would take place at a central facility and that the question regarding the response time would be referred to the Cardlock representative. Dee Len Holbrook, a representative for Cardlock, stated that the equipment was outfitted with alarms for safety and that they had on-call technicians ready to respond and that they performed daily inspections of the equipment. Commissioner Tolstoy asked about the likelihood of vandalism since the site would be un-manned. Mr. Holbrook indicated that their response would be fast on the graffiti issue and that they would not have a problem complying with the time limit given for cleanup. He noted other sites in much "rougher" neighborhoods had not experienced much of a problem with vandalism. He continued by saying the customers get their fuel and leave and the lot is well lit at night and that there really is no place for people to "hang out" and to get into trouble. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, responded to the applicant's initial question regarding his conditions by stating the street widening improvements noted on Exhibit B- page 26 will be required and is shown on his site plan. He continued by saying Exhibit B, page 33 are standard conditions and stand, even if that particular condition does not apply to his project. Mr. James also commented that the cost of street lights varies depending upon how many are put in at one time. Brad Buller, City Planner, remarked that the stucco treatment on the perimeter wall was also required. Mr. Barton, stated he understood the street improvements had to be made, but that his question was whether or not the right-of-way would have to be changed any more than what they had seen up to this point. Dan James responded by saying the site plan is accurate and the right-of-way will not change any more than what is shown on the plans. Headng no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Motion: Moved by Tolstoy, seconded by Macias to issue a Negative Declaration and to adopt the Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit 98-32.

Related file: Tree Removal Permit 98-26. Staff has prepared a mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, gave the staff report. Mr. Le Count indicated that several phone calls had been received from residents requesting information about the site location. PC Adjourned Minutes -3- March 23, 1999 Chairman McNiel asked if there was any firm indication as to the time line of development occurring on the adjacent property. Brent Le Count answered that there was none yet and that the Design Review on the tract has been incomplete for a year but that a new submission has been received and is now considered complete. He added that he thought construction might begin in a few months. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if development on Tentative Tract 15914 would be dependent upon the start of the adjacent tract. Mr. Le Count noted that some development, such as street access, would be required since the adjacent tract basically placed Tentative Tract 15914 in a "landlocked" position. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if any grading would take place prior to the street access being put in. Mr. Le Count confirmed that no grading would take place until that time. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Dave Jacinto, Barratt American Inc, 219 Meadow Vista Way, Carlsbad, indicated the adjacent project was moving quickly and no grading on Tentative Tract 15914 would take place until the adjacent project was developed. Headng no further comments, Ch.airman McNiei closed the public hearing. Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Stewart, to issue a Negative Declaration and adopt the resolution approving Tentative Tract 15914.

Related file: Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01. This action will be forwarded to the City Council for final action and the date of the Public Hearing before the City Council will be separately noticed. Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, gave the staff report. Chairman McNiel asked if there were any questions. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if there had been any word on the status of the "wetlands." Ms. Fong answered that the Army Corps of Engineers had answered some of the questions, but that they had not yet indicated whether the entire "wetlands" could be removed, and at this point, the applicant had received approval to remove approximately 2 acres. Commissioner Macias asked what the mitigation would be if they removed the 2 acres of "wetlands". Ms. Fong responded that the mitigation would be "off-site." Commissioner Macias asked if any decision would be made before the determination was made. Ms. Fong replied it would be part of the environmental impact review as to what the ratio would be and that it would be determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She stated the Planning Commission could then consider if the applicant should be required to apply for an individual permit to take out all of the "wetlands." Chairman McNiel asked if there were any questions and also noted that this was only the beginning of the process, that public testimony would be taken over the course of several meetings, and that it would go on to City Council where additional testimony will be taken. He added that the Planning Commission would not be taking action or making decisions at this time. He then opened the public hearing. Jack Shine, American Beauty Development Company, 16830 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 401, Encino, expressed his thanks to the staff for their patience during the four study/workshops. He felt the workshops had allowed them to get their thoughts out on the table as well as hear comments from staff. He also noted that they had met with staff bi-weekly for nearly six months. He stated that they had begun their process in 1997 by talking with the residents in the area. He said the residents they met with indicated there were three main concerns: schools, traffic and related mitigation, and a lowered density of single family homes. He noted their plan shows the PC Adjourned Minutes -6- March 23, 1999 school/park areas located in the center of the property. He explained that their marketing research had validated their approach and that led them to what they feel is a quality plan with economical feasibility for the current market so that in the short term, the project could pay for the 15 to 20 million dollars in infrastructure costs they will be required to pay. Bob LaCoss, PDS West, 31271 Paseo Sereno made a slide presentation which highlighted design features of the Arbors proposal. He noted the following features: 1. A trails system which follows along Victoria Park Lane through the project to Base Line Road, around the mall, with the addition of Day Creek Boulevard as a required trail. 2. A school site with park area close to the center of the project. 3. A mixed-use area on the corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road adjacent to the winery with added buffering along the south side of the Regina Winery consisting of vineyards, trees and windrows, and a wall, and additional buffers adjacent to the housing development were proposed. He also noted the buffer connects to the school/park area with a wide paseo and ends at the Victoria Arbors Community Center area. 4. Circulation issues were addressed by adding pedestrian connections to the mall and connections to all the major neighborhoods using paseos and trails. 5. The focal point is now the winery and the school/park, maintaining an agricultural feel, including displays of date palms and citrus in place of the lakes area. 6. Commercial entrances may feature water displays or perhaps sculpture, vines, arbors and enhanced styles of paving. 7. A prototype school is accessible to the park features, such as basketball courts, and a wetland area which would be fenced for safety and could be used for educational purposes as well if this feature is to be included in the project. 8. A two sided, "hard-shell" amphitheater with a bandshell, open to the school and community, with berms along the school site perimeter for noise attenuation. John Mordsette, Amedcan Beauty Development Company, 16830 Ventura Boulevard, Encino, presented their proposal for the various land uses within the subareas: 1. Subarea 1 is proposed as Iow residential with larger lots, which in their opinion, is consistent with staff's direction. 2. Subarea 2, (the Winery strip), Alternative A would be a good compromise and the preferred alternative. He noted they concurred with staff that Area 2b (the central section)would accommodate the buffering needed. 3. Subareas 3 & 4, the pdmary issue is land use compatibility with the mall site. He mentioned that they were not proposing special zoning for the buffering areas next to the mall. He stated that the mall is separated from the residential area which would be sufficient for buffering as demonstrated with a slide of a similar mall located in another city. He indicated he did not see a land use conflict. He continued by saying their intent was to have a central single family neighborhood in the center of the site surrounding the school/park as the focus. He indicated they needed to work with staff further on this idea. 4. Subarea 5 is proposed to be re-zoned. He pointed out that they need residential developable land to pay for costly improvements such as the construction of Day Creek Boulevard down to Foothill Boulevard, and the storm drain facilities. He referred to the "Agajanian Report" which supported their claim that a minimum of 400-500 acres of additional commercial at build out was needed to balance the area fiscally and that the City has about 1,500 acres available. He stated they had hired a consultant for a city-wide study within Rancho Cucamonga and the reasonable market area outside of the City. He explained that an additional 1400 acres maximum could be built to satisfy the market area. The study also took into account the areas that could be considered commercial area that has not been yet zoned for commercial. He noted that near Ontario Mills there is "A+" property and along Foothill PC Adjourned Minutes -7- March 23, 1999 Boulevard is pdme commercial area. He further stated that in many areas, the interior commercial areas are not working and therefore they are requesting the west parcel to be re- zoned for commercial. 5. Subarea 6/Etiwanda. He stated there was no market for "Office Professional" use in this area. He felt it was more valuable to the temple as residential use and stated that if the area is left as Office Professional, it will remain undeveloped for a long time. He described their proposal which included a row of large, 14,000+ square foot residential lots along Etiwanda Avenue and 6,000 square foot lots for the remainder of the area. He agreed that the character of Etiwanda with rock curbs etc. should be preserved. 6. The "Wetlands." He stated they would not choose to keep the "Wetlands" and that they would prefer a condition to get rid of as much as was in their power, but that they not be required to take it out and that a decision would not be held up because of it. He reported they have been told by the Army Corp of Engineers would prefer to keep it if possible. He continued by saying that with the extension of Victoria Loop, it would not be possible to keep the northerly part of the "wetlands" in place. He explained that they have talked with LSA and their conversations with the Corp indicate that there would be no obligation on the part of the City to maintain it and the remaining two thirds would be off-site mitigation. He completed his presentation by stating that if they could get "roof tops" here then the retail commercial would follow and the project would take place. Mike Robbins, representing the Nichiren Sho Shu Temple, 7576 Etiwanda Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga stated they oppose any proposed land use changes from the existing Office Professional for their property. Chairman McNiel asked if he was referring to the surrounding area as well as the land the temple where the temple is located Mr. Robbins stated that he was referring to the entire 10 acre parcel. John Lyons, 11984 Dorset Street, Rancho Cucamonga, referred to the original plan presented to the Planning Commission 20 years ago and the densities shown on the plan. He indicated the plan shows there are homes north of Base Line Road and commercial areas south of Base Line Road. He stated there are 3,500 square foot lots in the Victoda Community and they are so small, the residents are unable to park in front of their own house. He stated they (the residents) went with the idea because of the promised shopping areas. He felt that Victoria has cost the residents a lot of money since it was built. He cited examples including the flood insurance costs imposed on the residents living on Rochester Avenue. He further commented on his belief that if Victoria had been propedy developed as planned, there would not have been a utility tax. He commented that he liked the idea of an "Old Town" winery area and the Day Creek Boulevard commercial area south of 1-15 and that he wanted commercial on Base Line Road. He mentioned that he had addressed the City Council regarding the proposals and that he was suggesting a moratorium on future General Plan Amendments within the following area: Foothill Boulevard to the south, Day Creek Boulevard to the west, Etiwanda Avenue to the East, Base Line Road to the north. He continued by saying the "big picture" has changed considerably Wyneth Pizzuto, 7692 Etiwanda Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated she has lived on the same 1-1/4 acre parcel for 40 years at the corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Church Street and that she had observed many changes since 1974. She stated she and her husband had no way of knowing what was going on. She said she had been told the area would be commercial, then professional, and most recently, housing. She felt that no one talks to the residents or asks their PC Adjourned Minutes -8- March 23, 1999 opinion. She agreed with Mr. Lyons as well. She stated she did not want any zone changes and that it was her feeling that Etiwanda should be unique. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. He remarked that notifications are sent out, everything in the public hearing is part of the public record, the property is posted, and ads are placed in the newspaper and that every effort is made to notify the public. He noted that for this hearing, the property was posted using the larger, 4- X 8-foot signs. He further stated that there was much to do on this project and asked when the next hearing was scheduled. Ms. Fong said that the project could be scheduled some time in May. Commissioner Macias asked about the review of the Environmental Impact Report. Ms. Fong stated the revised version of EIR was scheduled to be circulated this week and would remain open to review for the following 45 days and the City would advertise again for the public headng regarding the land use changes. Commissioner Tolstoy suggested they announce what an EIR is and where the EIR could be reviewed by the public. Brad Bullet, City Planner, informed them that the EIR is an Environmental Impact Report which addresses factual information on environmental impacts that may arise as a result of a proposed project which is required by state law. He stated it could be reviewed by the public at City Hall and the Rancho Cucamonga Library and at Chaffey College. NEW BUSINESS F.

Brent Le Count, Associate PlannEr gave the staff report and noted that he had spoken with the developer and was assured that the issue of the weight of the roof had been addressed and that the proposed roofing material was lightweight but, with proper installation, would be acceptable in our high winds. Chairman McNiel asked if there were any questions. Commissioner Mannerino asked if the street plan had been cleaned up. Mr. Le Count stated the intersection in question has been reviewed and should be acceptable and that the applicant could fill them in further on the intersection. Chairman McNiel invited public comment. John DeFrenza, Architect, 20301 SW Birch Street,Suite 101, Newport Beach, commented he had studied the connection to Haven Wine and Deli in relation to the proposed hotel and that the realignment would be reviewed with the Haven Wine and Deli project review. Chairman McNiel asked if he was planning to move the street section north of the loop adjacent to the hotel. Mr. DeFrenza stated that both sections would have some realignment. He commented that he was pleased with Mr. Le Count's and the Commission's efforts on the project. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the street alignment would take place. PC Adjourned Minutes -10- March 23, 1999 Chairman McNiel said that was indicated. Mr. DeFrenza concurred and said the driveway alignments are acceptable with what they have on their plans now, and that even if no changes took place, the Commission would be satisfied. He indicated they had taken it further and that they had an even more successful alignment solution Commissioner Mannerino asked if the realignment was consistent with the Conditional Use Permit and what would happen if the Haven Wine and Deli fell out of the process. Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated that it was a matter of phasing and that the realignment would be cladfied at Design Review for the deli prior to the intersection's being built. Mr. DeFrenza commented that since more than one ~arcel was sold, the review process was somewhat "stepped." Mr. Le Count concurred. There were no further public comments.
