MODIFICATION TO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 12877 -
GOLDEN - A request to modify the condition of approval to underground the
existing overhead utilities beyond the limits of the project site for a
subdivision of 3.28 acres of land into 2 parcels in the Very Low
Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located on the
north side of Hillside Road, east of Moonstone Avenue - APN: 1061-251-24.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, presented the staff report.
Carl T. Kobbins, Jr., CTK, Inc., 9640 Center Avenue, #100, Rancho Cucamonga,
stated he was a Civil Engineer. He stated that Dr. Golden had paid for
bringing in the overhead utility line from Carnelian when he built his home 35
years ago and the other development which has taken place over the years have
used the overhead power lines brought in by Dr. Golden. He showed drawings of
the four parcels created by Dr. Golden in 1986 and stated a pole had to be
moved from the roadway at that time and that pole served as a stub down to the
other parcels to the south and east. He said when the two-parcel map was
approved, it was thought that Dr. Golden would have to tear out existing
shrubbery on his land in order to underground the utilities across his
property but an alternate path had been identified so that the existing
shrubbery would not have to be disturbed. Mr. Kobbins showed pictures of the
existing end pole on the east side of Moonstone Avenue on Dr. Golden's
property. He observed that the existing pole is hidden from view on the
street because of the trees. He remarked that the Engineering Division had
stated that Dr. Golden could move the pole from the east side of Moonstone
Avenue to the southwest side and that would satisfy the requirements of
Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96. He said that would place a pole in
front of an existing residence where no pole currently exists and that pole
would then be an end pole and would thus need to be guyed. Mr. Kobbins felt
that Dr. Golden's property is not at an intersection, but on a knuckle street,
and therefore, he felt the pole as it exists conforms with Resolution
No. 87-96.
Commissioner Lumpp asked why the poles were not undergrounded at the time Dr.
Golden created the parcels along Via E1 Dorado.
Mr. James explained that the parcel map was recorded prior to the City's
adopting the underground policy.
Commissioner Lumpp observed that even if the pole on Dr. Golden's property and
the pole to the west on Via E1 Dorado were undergrounded, there would still be
poles to the west that would be above ground.
Mr. James affirmed that was so. He stated that the current condition reads
that the pole on Dr. Golden's property and the next pole to the west, which is
230 feet west would need to be undergrounded. He said Dr. Golden could also
place a pole across the street on the southwest corner of Moonstone Avenue and
Via E1 Dorado to meet the City's undergrounding policy, and thereby only have
to underground the pole on the east side of Moonstone Avenue.
Commissioner Lumpp asked if there was any potential for undergrounding the
poles to the west along Via E1 Dorado.
Mr. James felt it was unlikely.
Commissioner Tolstoy acknowledged that the new end pole would have to be
guyed, but he stated the utility company has developed a way to guy with the
wires going down at a 90 degree angle from an arm attached to the pole instead
of a 45 degree angle, and the result is not as unattractive.
Mr. Kobbins stated that Southern California Edison had talked in terms of
using 45 degree guy wires.
Commissioner Melcher expressed surprise that staff had suggested the applicant
could satisfy the undergrounding requirement by relocating the pole from the
east side of Moonstone to the other side. He thought that would merely be
moving a visual blight to another location where it does not currently
exist. He did not support moving a pole to the west side of Moonstone.
Planning Commission Minutes -2- February 9, 1994
Co~missioner Tolstoy agreed that a pole should not be placed on the southwest
corner of Moonstone and Via E1 Dorado. He thought the original condition to
underground to the pole 230 feet west on Via E1 Dorado should remain.
Chairman Barker requested a brief history on the subdivisions of this
property.
Commissioner Melcher recalled that the Commission had discussed the matter
thoroughly when the two-parcel map was approved. He said the Commission had
noted that the two-parcel map was being created following a four-parcel map
and if the land had originally been divided into the resulting five parcels, a
subdivision would have been required.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.
Commissioner McNiel stated he also was surprised by staff's recommendation to
move the pole from the east to the west side of Moonstone Avenue. He thought
staff was trying to appease the applicant but such a move would not serve the
purpose of the undergrounding policy. He thought the process had been diluted
because the applicant had first subdivided into four parcels and then taken
one of those parcels and further subdivided it into two parcels. It was his
opinion that the condition of undergrounding should be viewed in light of the
five lots created, not just the two.
Chairman Barker felt it would be wrong to merely move the pole from the east
side of Moonstone to the west side and he thanked Commissioners Melcher and
McNiel for their comments.
Commissioner Melcher noted that one owner had created all five parcels, even
though it had been done in two separate actions.
Commissioner McNiel believed that utilities would eventually be undergrounded
throughout the entire City. He said the goal of the undergrounding policy was
to get rid of as many poles as possible.
Mr. James stated that the City is able to get money to underground arterial
streets from various funds and in-lieu fees are sometimes collected where it
is impractical to underground at the time of development. However, he said
such in-lieu fees can only be used for undergrounding in the location where
the fee is collected. He felt general fund dollars would have to be used to
underground along Via E1 Dorado unless someone were to purchase the existing
houses and subdivide the area further and noted that further subdivision is
very unlikely.
Commissioner Lumpp stated he was having a difficult time with the
undergrounding policy permitting the relocation of a pole from the eastern
side of Moonstone to the western side or requiring that a pole 230 feet to the
west be changed to an end pole requiring that guy wires be attached. He felt
the undergrounding policy was established for aesthetic reasons and the
relocation of a pole to an area where none exists or adding guy wires to an
existing pole were not aesthetically pleasing alternatives.
Planning Commission Minutes -3- February 9, 1994
Chairman McNiel felt that undergrounding should be obtained whenever and
wherever possible.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed and stated that would be consistent with Planning
Commission policy and previous decisions.
Commissioner Melcher felt that in-lieu fees would not make any sense because
the fees would have to be held for future use in this location. He did not
favor any modification to the resolution.
Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Melcher, to adopt the resolution denying
the request to modify the condition of approval requiring undergrounding for
Parcel Map 12877. Motion carried by the following vote:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-01 - DEEB - A request to sell distilled spirits
in addition to beer and wine within an existing convenience market of
2,124 square feet within the Community Commercial District (Subarea 3) of
the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the northeast corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Ramona Avenue - APN: 1077-621-34.
Steve Hayes, Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Commissioner Lumpp asked for clarification on the action taken by the City
Council with regard to the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license.
Mr. Hayes replied that the ABC had forwarded paperwork to the City in relation
to a renewal for the market's ABC license to sell beer and wine and the City
Council had directed that a letter be sent to the ABC opposing the renewal
because of allegations of sales to minors. He stated the ABC had subsequently
renewed the license.
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, stated that the ABC gives local agencies
the opportunity to comment, but the ABC makes the final determination on
whether or not to grant the license. He thought the City Council had expected
ABC to approve the license when they directed staff to send the letter of
opposition.
Chairman Barker asked if the applicant had been connected with the store in
November when the City Council had heard allegations about the sale of beer
and wine to minors.
Mr. Hayes replied that he understood that Mr. Deeb had taken over the
operation in January 1994.
Commissioner Melcher asked if the operation is to remain a market and they
were simply adding a line of distilled spirits rather than converting to a
liquor store.
Planning Commission Minutes -4- February 9, 1994
Mr. Hayes replied that it is to be maintained as a market.
Chairman Barker opened the public hearing.
Deeb Deeb, 6587 Shawna Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he had taken over as
the new owner on January 1, 1994.
Chairman Barker asked if Mr. Deeb or any of his employees who will be managing
had been employed by or are related to the previous owner.
Mr. Deeb responded negatively.
Chairman Barker asked if the major function will be as a store or as a liquor
store.
Mr. Deeb replied a liquor store.
Chairman Barker asked if he was changing it from a grocery store to a liquor
store.
Mr. Deeb responded affirmatively.
Commissioner Melcher asked if the name of the business would be changing.
Mr. Deeb replied it would not. He said he had already removed most of the
signs from the windows and had removed the wood paneling as well.
Commissioner McNiel asked if the applicant understood why staff had requested
that the signs and wood panel be removed from the windows.
Mr. Deeb replied that he understood it was so the Police can look in easier.
Commissioner McNiel commented that good lighting and good visibility are a big
determent to crime.
Mr. Deeb said they had placed the signs in the window to generate more
business because it has been very slow. He stated storage is kept along the
north wall and when he removed the wood panel, people can now see into the
storage area from outside the store.
Dick Ebbet, All Star Realty, said he felt there had been a misunderstanding
regarding the business. He stated Mr. Deeb plans to keep selling groceries
and other items and is adding liquor only to increase sales.
Commissioner Barker again asked Mr. Deeb if he would be operating as a liquor
store or a convenience store with other products along with the liquor.
Mr. Deeb said he will keep the store as is and add the liquor sales. He said
he had previously misunderstood the question.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes -5- February 9, 1994
Commissioner Tolstoy commented that the view through the northern window on
the west side of the building is blocked by a storage area. He suggested that
the window might be treated with an opague film to block the view. He stated
that the front two windows have display cases in front of them, blocking part
of that view.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that in staff's training on crime prevention
through environmental design it had been taught that blocking the view through
a window below 4 feet is generally not a problem because people standing can
still be seen.
Commissioner McNiel thought perhaps a band of film across the bottom of the
windows might be appropriate.
Chairman Barker stated he was not convinced that the sale of hard liquor is an
ancillary function. He asked if it would be enforceable to limit the sale of
liquor to be peripheral to the business.
Mr. Hanson stated that the same conditional use permit would be used for a
full liquor store or ancillary use. He said it would be the same analysis and
approval but the Commission could determine that a full liquor store would be
inappropriate because of its location. He said the matter of enforceability
may be difficult.
Mr. Bullet suggested the Commission might wish to limit the percentage of
space to be allocated toward distilled spirit sales as compared to the amount
of space devoted to neighborhood convenience items.
Chairman Barker questioned if it would also be possible to inhibit a potential
change of names or signs to a liquor store.
Mr. Bullet thought such a condition might be placed in the conditional use
permit.
Commissioner Melcher felt one of the reasons plywood panels and film is added
to windows is that the Design Review Committee seems unwilling to deal with
blank walls and requests windows. He thought developers building "spec"
retail space end up putting in more windows than would normally be required in
order to satisfy the DRC and to make the space flexible for leasing. He said
if the City is interested in regulating what happens to the windows, then
tenant improvement plans would need to be reviewed to determine the
relationship with the use of the space to the windows. He did not favor a
case-by-case approach of requiring glass areas to be blanked out when the
windows are being used as display areas. He felt the person leasing the space
should make such decisions.
Chairman Barker agreed with Commissioner Melcher but he felt the view to the
storage area should be blocked out.
Commissioner Melcher agreed that the City should not be requiring the
applicant to open up a window into a storage area.
Planning Commission Minutes -6- February 9, 1994
chairman Barker felt Commissioner Tolstoy's. suggestion to use a film was good.
Commissioner Melcher stated that if a merchant has the compressor side of an
ice cream machine backed up to a window that would not be good merchandising,
but he felt the store owner had every right to have display racks featuring
various products visible through windows.
Commissioner Lumpp asked staff's feelings about the use of the opaque film.
Mr. Hayes said that staff's biggest concern had been aesthetics and safety.
He thought the film over the storage area would resolve staff's concerns.
Commissioner Tolstoy said he favored the application so long as the liquor
sales are ancillary to the market. He hoped it would not turn into a liquor
store. He said his concerns regarding the sale of liquor to minors had been
addressed because of the new ownership and management. He indicated his
second concern had been regarding window signs and the wood paneling and he
felt those concerns had been addressed by the Commission.
Chairman Barker asked if Commissioner Tolstoy was comfortable with specifying
a maximum percentage of floor area to be devoted to sale of distilled spirits.
Commissioner Tolstoy said he was, but he was not sure the Commission could
determine what that percentage should be.
Chairman Barker said he was uncomfortable with the application unless some
sort of limitation is placed because he had observed community markets being
replaced by liquor stores in Los Angeles. He did not feel it would be
appropriate to put in a liquor store in an area which was originally presented
as a neighborhood market.
Mr. Buller suggested that the Commission might want to reopen the public
hearing and see if the applicant would be willing to specify a percentage. He
said in other issues, 20 percent is generally considered as ancillary use.
Commissioner Melcher observed that the staff report indicated that distilled
spirits would be displayed on the wall shelves adjacent to the cashier. He
suggested adding a condition that would limit the display of distilled spirits
to those shelves adjacent to the cashier as shown on the floor plan.
Chairman Barker felt that would be acceptable. He reopened the public hearing
and asked if the applicant would be agreeable to such a limitation.
Mr. Deeb said that would be acceptable.
Chairman Barker asked if Mr. Deeb understood his concern that the facility
remain a community store and not turn into a liquor store.
Mr. Deeb stated it would remain a convenience market.
Chairman Barker asked if there would be signs changing the name to Ramona
Liquor.
Planning Commission Minutes -7- February 9, 1994
Mr. Deeb said there would not.
Chairman Barker again closed the public hearing.
Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Melcher, to adopt the resolution
approving Conditional Use Permit 94-01 with limitations on the display space
for distilled spirits as indicated in the staff report and to require a view-
obscuring film on the window by the storage area. Motion carried by the

C. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 93-02B - MASI - A
request to amend the land use designation from Industrial Park to General
Commercial for 15 acres of land extending along Foothill Boulevard to a
parallel line approximately 520 feet south, within the Masi Plaza
development, located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Rochester Avenue - APN: 229-011-10, 19, 21, and 26 through 28. Staff
recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. Related File :
Conditional Use Permit 91-24.
Brad Buller, City Planner, presented the staff report and a revised sheet
outlining alternative land uses prepared following discussions between staff
and the applicant. He noted that the applicant had requested a new General
Plan land use category of Recreational Commercial and several amendments to
the Industrial Area Specific Plan to allow General Commercial on the entire
27-acre site because of the proximity to the Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sports
Park and Stadium. He said that staff supported the request and had re-
advertised the matter for the February 23, 1994, meeting.
Commissioner Melcher asked if a staff report would be prepared with recommend
changes to the text.
Mr. Buller responded it was staff's intention to provide the recommended
changes with the agenda packet distributed in advance of the meeting.
Chairman Barker opened the public hearing.
William Claire, Claire Associates, 6 Via La Cima, Rancho Palos Vetdes, stated
he had prepared the Trade Area and Land Use Analysis.
Commissioner Melcher observed that the applicant was requesting that 85,000
square feet of general commercial be permitted. He noted that Mr. Claire's
Planning Commission Minutes -8- February 9, 1994
Executive Summary indicated that all but 40,000 square feet of gross leasable
area has been signed up by the developer. He asked if the 40,000 square foot
figure refers to the project as presently permitted or with the proposed
changes.
Mr. Claire said it was his understanding that the remaining 40,000 square feet
refers to what is already approved or before the City for consideration.
Mr. Buller stated the applicant has requested that an additional 35 percent of
the project's square footage be permitted to have General Commercial uses.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if that meant that more than 85,000 square feet
could be commercial.
Mr. Buller said the 85,000 square feet would be in addition to the commercial
Mount already permitted or conditionally permitted under current zoning.
Commissioner Melcher did not understand why there was a need to approve more
commercial uses when only 40,000 square feet is left for leasing.
Mr. Buller replied the applicant has indicated they need the additional uses.
Commissioner Melcher noted that when the auto court use was approved, the
applicant had assured the Commission that it was a viable use as approved but
now the applicant was stating that the auto court would not work unless
transmission repair and engine rebuilding could be added as uses. He observed
that the Commissioners had specifically opposed transmission and engine repair
and other repairs typically performed under Automotive/Truck Repair - Major.
He felt such uses are heavier than appropriate for this location.
Mr. Bullet stated he had provided copies of the previous staff report and
minutes and Commissioner Melcher was correct that the applicant had indicated
that use was not necessary at the time but the applicant has now stated they
are losing potential tenants because of the restriction against such uses. He
reported that was an amendment that would be advertised for February 23. He
said staff had analyzed the auto service court built on Archibald Avenue which
allows a full range of automotive repair services and staff felt that such
uses would not necessarily create a negative impact with the range of land
uses in the area if properly designed.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if that meant there would not be a gas station at
the location.
Mr. Bullet replied that one of the conditions of the auto court approval was
that the gas station has to be constructed before the other uses and the
applicant had not indicated a desire to delete the station.
Commissioner Lumpp felt it would be helpful to have the applicant provide an
analysis of the entire site in terms of uses which are already committed and
how that relates to the additional 35 percent gross leasable area.
Mr. Claire stated he would provide a full statue update for the February 23
meeting.
Planning Commission Minutes -9- February 9, 1994
Commissioner Lumpp requested that the update be provided to staff as soon as
possible for staff's analysis.
Chairman Barker agreed it needs to be provided prior to February 23. He
commented that the project seems to vacillate constantly and not get built.
He thought that was unfortunate as the project has a fantastic location.
Mr. Claire said he would try to have the information to staff by the middle of
the week of February 14.
Mr. Buller recommended that the matter be tabled and re-advertised as
described.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked why the Commission should not act on General Plan
Amendment 93-02B.
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, stated that the applicant has now amended
their application so that the matter must be re-advertised.
Chairman Barker asked if the applicant would prefer that the Commission vote
to deny the present application.
Mr. Claire requested that the matter be continued.
Mr. Buller stated that staff would prefer that the matter be tabled and
re-advertised as described tonight with the consent of the applicant.
Chairman Barker closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if that meant Recreational Commercial ~ould be
recommended as a new land use category for all of Subarea 7 of the Industrial
Area Specific Plan.
Mr. Buller explained that Recreational Commercial would be a new category in
the General Plan and therefore other landowners may request that designation
on their property. He said that it would not be restricted to just Subarea 7,
however, the intent of this application is for this property only.
Motion: Moved by Melcher that the Commission determine that the matter as
advertised does not reflect the application and therefore consideration should
be tabled and the matter be re-advertised for February 23, 1994, with the
concurrence of the applicant.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated he had concerns about diluting the already
established retail community and designated areas. He said he could perhaps
support Recreational Commercial as a new designation but he did not feel
electronics, furniture, and appliances should be included in such a
designation because he did not feel they are Recreational Commercial. He felt
Recreational Commercial could include such things as a golf pro shop, sporting
goods, theatre, etc.
Planning Commission Minutes -10- February 9, 1994
Commissioner Lumpp seconded Commissioner Melcher's motion to table General
Plan Amendment 93-02B and re-advertise it for the February 23, 1994, meeting

Commissioner Melcher observed that in his 3-1/2 years of being on the
Commission and in 16 years of dealing with the City he felt this was the most
flagrant case of the tail (the applicant) wagging the dog (the Planning
Commission) that he had ever seen and he was embarrassed by the process.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-31- MASI - A request to permit a health club of
15,800 square feet in Building 15 of previously approved Conditional Use
Permit 91-24, in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan, located on 27 acres at the southwest corner
of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue - APN: 229-011-28.
Beverly Luttrell, Associate Planner, noted that at the last Planning
Commission hearing, the Commission had requested that three non-construction
Conditional Use Permits for this same center be continued to 5:00 p.m. on
February 23, so that staff could analyze new information submitted by the
applicant including specific floor plans. She said that staff recommended
Conditional Use Permit 93-31 also be continued to February 23, 1994, so that a
floor plan and a thorough parking analysis could be submitted for staff review
and the Commission could consider all four applications at that time.
Chairman Barker opened the public hearing.
Mr. Claire consented to the continuance.
Motion: Moved by Melcher,
Permit 93-31 to 5:00 p.m.

E. BROWN ACT UPDATE
Brad Bullet, City Planner, indicated that the City Council had directed staff
to discuss potential aspects of the revisions to the Brown Act with reference
to Committees. He said staff would be researching the matter and responding
back to the Council and would provide additional information to the Commission
at that time.
Planning Commission Minutes -11- February 9, 1994
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, gave a brief overview of the changes to
the Brown Act with reference to the Commission. He said he would be looking
at Committees and determining which ones in addition to the Design Review and
Trails would fall under the coverage of the act. He suggested that a
definition of the goal of each committee would be helpful and he thought it
would be best to call out time lines to accomplish the goals of the various
committees.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no public comments at this time.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
Brad Buller, City Planner, distributed a memorandum to the Commissioners from
Community Development Director Rick Gomez regarding the Regional Comprehensive
Plan recommending that the Planning Commission Chairman and Vice-Chairman meet
with Councilmember Buquet, the City's delegate to SANBAG, regarding the Plan.
Commissioner Melcher thought the Planning Commission as a whole should review
the Plan and give input.
Commissioner Lumpp stated that after he had requested information on the
Regional Comprehensive Plan, he had been informed by staff that City Council
is tracking the plan through its representative to SANBAG. He said he had
simply desired an update to make sure it was being tracked by the City and he
had no desire to intercede in City Council actions unless asked to do so by
the Council.
, , , ,
Commissioner Melcher requested that two matters be added to the agenda for the
next Planning Commission Goals and Priorities Workshop. He requested that the
Design Awards Program be discussed with an overview of what had been done in
the past and what might be done in the future. He also requested information
on the State's Red Team so far as how it relates to the Planning Commission;
i.e., who the Commission might be dealing with and how the Commission might
embrace the program to put the City's best foot forward.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked for an update on the Metrolink station.
Mr. Buller gave a brief overview of the status.
Commissioner Melcher requested that the Planning Division work program be
distributed to the Commissioners prior to the workshop.
Mr. Buller said it should be distributed prior to the end of the month.
Planning Commission Minutes -12- February 9, 1994
Commissioner Melcher announced that he would be unable to attend the February
23, 1994, Planning Co~unission meetings. He suggested that General Dynamics
prepare an exhibit showing their block of land in relation to what is planned
or exists around it, including land within Ontario. He thought it is
important to consider how their land relates to land around it.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed.
