L. Dennis Michael Mayor Thursday, November 30, 2017 REPORT DATE: December 5, 2017 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: John R. Gillison, City Manager INITIATED BY: Candyce Burnett, City Planner Lois Schrader, Planning Commissi Secretary SUBJECT: INTERVIEWS FOR THREE POSITIONS ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council review the submitted letters requesting reappointment (Fletcher, Munoz, Oaxaca) as well as the applications received within the recruitment period and interview of all the candidates. BACKGROUND: Planning Commissioners are appointed by the City Council and serve a 4 -year term. Per Municipal Code Chapter 2.20, Section 2.20.050, the Commissioners may be reappointed for a 4 - year term with the approval of the City Council. The current terms for Commissioners Fletcher, Munoz and Oaxaca will expire December 31, 2017. At their meeting of October 18, 2017, the City Council directed the City Clerk to advertise and to seek applications for the three positions. Commissioners Fletcher, Munoz and Oaxaca were also invited to submit letters seeking reappointment if it was their intention to continue serving on the Commission. The advertisements appeared in the Daily Bulletin on October 29th and November 5th. Additional advertising occurred on social media and the City's website as well as a reach out to those on an interest list. Applications were received as well as letters from Commissioners Fletcher, Munoz and Oaxaca seeking reappointment (attached). The recruitment period ended on November 16, 2017. Following the interviews, the City Council will select three candidates to fill the positions. The successful candidates will be sworn in at the regular City Council meeting on December 20, 2017, FISCAL IMPACT: None COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: None Page 1 of 2 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT INTERVIEWS FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION/PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 5, 2017 ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1 — Letter Seeking Reappointment by Commissioner Fletcher Attachment 2 — Letter Seeking Reappointment by Commissioner Munoz Attachment 3 — Letter Seeking Reappointment by Commissioner Oaxaca Attachment 4 — Application — Bryan Dopp Attachment 5 — Application — Jenna Myles Attachment 6 — Application — Tony Guglielmo Attachment 7 — Application — David Skolnick Page 2of2 September 19, 2017 Mayor and Members of the City Council John Gillison, City Manager SUBJECT: REAPPOINTMENT TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND PLANNING COMMISSION I've had the pleasure to serve on the Planning Commission now for 14 years. Lois notified me that it was that time again for some of us to seek reappointment and I had let her know that I would indeed appreciate reappointment. She also indicated we should send in a letter indicating that preference. As a small business owner (retired), I always consider the fiscal impact that our decisions might have, both for the developer and for the City. I think it is important that we maintain a mix of land uses that are revenue positive for the City, not just from one time developer fees but throughout the life of the land use. I take very serious requests to change land uses that generate revenue for the City to ones that generate expenses for the City. We also need to consider the effect new development has on the quality of life for our residents. I've said openly that my concerns as a Commissioner are for the residents of Rancho Cucamonga first and consideration for an over population of California residents second. Finally we need to pay attention to our historic assets and preservation. I've discussed with Candyce a recent lack of any preservation review or activity for the Historic Preservation Commission. She indicated this was due to a lack of any experienced staff and it is something they are working on. I will leave it up to staff to get this back on track, but I'll also keep it on my to do list. I guess I don't need to go on and on with my opinions as most people have heard them before. I'm passionate about doing what I think is right for our city and I would appreciate the opportunity to continue on the Commission. Sincerely, (per email) Rich Fletcher Commissioner Attachment 1 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA CITIZEN'S APPLICATION TO SERVE ON THE PLANNING/HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION Name: Luis (Lou) Munoz Jr., Planning/Historic Preservation Commissioner Address: Phone: 91737 Occupation: AT&T, Area Manager, Global Engineering Support Education: • Master of Business Administration, MBA, California State Polytechnic University (CAL POLY) Pomona, CA. • Professional Certificate in Telecommunications Management. Golden Gate University, San Francisco, CA. • University of Redlands, Redlands, California, Bachelor of Science in Information Systems, BSIS. Are there any workday evenings you could not meet? No Why are you interested in this position? I have always had an interest in Rancho Cucamonga. For the last 18 years I have been an appointed official involved in many facets of city's governance, and participated in variety of committees, and successful projects. I believe that there are still many opportunities to continue to serve my community as our city approaches build -out and moves towards new horizons like affordable, and higher density projects. My involvement in planning has also led to being elected to serve with the League of California Cities as Vice -President, President, and Director for the League of California Cities' Planning and Community Development Department, and membership in the League of California Cities Board of Directors. In that capacity I've had the opportunity to help that organization promote local control for cities like Rancho Cucamonga. All of this involvement will benefit our community and more importantly allow me the opportunity to directly help influence state elected officials, including our own elected officials. What do you consider to be your major qualifications? I believe that my major qualifications for this position is my extensive level of experience in our community as 35 year resident, a former member of the Parks & Recreation Commission for 7 years, and more importantly as a member of the Planning Commission for the past 12 years. I also have extensive experience with the planning framework, General Plan, and Development Code in this city. I've been involved in all aspects of the revision of both the General Plan, and more recently the Development Code. I enjoyed a successful tenure as both Vice - Chair and Chairman of the Planning Commission. I have been involved in all aspects of project planning, design policy matters, issues concerning the physical development of the community; long-range planning, participation in events promoting citizen awareness in support of community goals, objectives, policies, and services to the community. ATTACHMENT 2 0 Question 1(Side 2) — What do you see as the major planning issues facing the City in the next year? In the next five years? Ten Years? Some of the major planning issues that I see over the next five years will include public safety issues such as Marijuana regulation, dealing with public safety related to Realignment of prison population (we have nearby correctional facilities) and the effects of those issues will have on our population. In the longer term we're going to be dealing with build out, and considering new types of higher density housing, while still addressing the needs of low income mandates. Related to home design, the challenge will be keeping to high standards of design without having a negative impact on our developers, and being mindful of keeping home prices in our community affordable. We'll need to continue to encourage, plan, and develop Central Park, and other open spaces in order to address our Healthy City goals. Question 2 (Side 2) — What is your perception of the role of the Planning/Historic Preservation Commission in relation to the Community? City Staff? City Council? Relative to our community I believe that our Commission's primary role is to support our city leaders in order to "promote community awareness in support of community goals," objectives, policies, and programs. Relative to the city staff I believe that the role of the commission is to "partner and support" staff's efforts relative to policy matters, issues concerning the physical development of the community; long-range planning, and solving problems. Relative to the City Council I believe that the role of the commission's is to support council figuratively and otherwise (e.g., "make decisions on various land use applications such as, but not limited to, Conditional Use Permits, Development/Design Reviews, Entertainment Permits, Subdivisions, tentative tract, tentative parcel maps, and Variances"). Council will become involved on an as required basis in the event of an appeal or various types of recommendations. References 1. Dan Coleman, 2. Lois Schrader 3. Ray Wimberly 4.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Office Hours: Monday thru Thursday, 7 a.m. — 6 p.m. NOTE: This application is public information. Scanned by CamScanner Do ff coa -f- Questionnaire — Planning Commission November 16`h, 2017 To Whom It May Concern: I've addressed the following questions in typed format as I felt they necessitated a longer response than I was capable of writing out in the space provided. Obviously, I am grateful for the opportunity to apply for the Planning Commission and your consideration. Thank you very much! a) Why are you interested in the position? As a long-time resident of Rancho Cucamonga, I've always felt a strong belief that we are afforded a great privilege by living in a city that is well-run, that people genuinely care about, and that is a very desirable place to live in the Inland Empire. Like many people, I've grown fond of and attached to my 'hometown/ and outside of the general desire to serve the community that I live in, I have taken a genuine interest over the years to the growth and development of our city, and it's something that I take a lot of time to learn and educate myself about. Beginning really through my college career, seeing the 210 freeway built, the development of the city expand east, as well as following several other issues and stories over the years through the media and talking with friends in my local circle, I've developed a keen interest and passion for understanding the issues that concern us and having a stake in seeing the city grow. I see this position as an opportunity to offer my opinions and knowledge in terms of helping guide the direction of our city's future. b) What do you consider to be your major qualifications? In terms of just pure education, I have a degree in Political Science from UC Riverside, where I took several local/urban politics type classes, including one under the then -mayor of Riverside, Ron Loveridge. In papers I would often use issues concerning Rancho Cucamonga as illustrations, examples and case studies. I believe I even interviewed a city planner for a paper once! In addition, in terms of qualifications, I feel I have a fair amount of knowledge through reading stories covered in the paper, looking through past agendas and minutes of the Council and Planning Commission, reading plans and documents prepared by the city, and just recognizing trends and issues that concern citizens and the community. I'm also an active member of the Pastoral Council at St. Peter and St. Paul Church in Alta Loma, and have several good relationships there to individuals involved in the community, in addition to helping plan and organize our own church's charity drives and events that open ourselves up to the city and local area. 1. What do you see as the major planning issues facing the City in the next year? In the next five years? Ten years? The largest issue in the near-term planning issue facing the city, in my opinion, is the formation and continued progress of the Northeast Annex Project currently under consideration. That particular area of the city is critical, in my opinion, to being within city limits and I can certainly appreciate the concerns and desire of city staff and planning authorities to do so in order to prevent the county from placing development and approvals for land use that is at odds with the city's standards and desired land use. I'm also interested in the next year to see how two big developments in the evolution of the city—the old JC Penney building into the Grand Central Market-esque Haven Marketplace and the Empire Lakes development—drive any potential new development or concerns. Beyond that, looking into the future, I anticipate the following concerns impacting the city (in no particular order): Dore - co") F a) Traffic: As the city continues to increase its infill development, population and housing developments increase to the east and through the High Desert, and the city continues to increase the diversification of its economy, how will it address growing concerns of traffic and gridlock along major thoroughfares? Chief among these concerns is the commute -time traffic on the 210, traffic patterns that consistently create bottlenecks and massive congestion at certain places and intersections throughout the city, and a general lack of options and desire within the general population to consider alternatives such as busses. Future planning developments and issues will have to take into consideration transportation plans to help alleviate and/or diversify the options available to the public. b) Retail and e-commerce: How is the city, having been reliant in the past on retail sales taxes as revenue streams, going to navigate both budget -wise and planning -wise, the continued strength of the e-commerce trends in retail? It may not seem at first glance that this is a planning issue, but in my opinion, given the large supply of 'big -box' development along Foothill, in particular, the City may need to address at some point creative and development issues pertaining to what may potentially happen to these retail centers if trends continue and more businesses and establishments decide to close stores. c) Sustainability and Urban Development: One of the growing trends that I see politically at the state and local levels, is how to address the often -competing interests of consumers/families wishing to purchase affordable homes, demand for increased housing in Southern California, and the environmental concerns that are associated with development, dense population densities and urbanization --namely, pollution, a lack of open space, and cities created with merely driving as the means to get around from place to place. I definitely believe that the Empire Lakes project has huge potential, and Southern California at large is not exactly a mass -transit friendly community (for multiple reasons), but at some point land will become an issue of concern for future developments and planning. Does the city need to consider 'building up' and in denser qualities, perhaps creating, for instance, more apartment and condo projects, while still priding itself on the ability to set aside a large amount of land for green areas, parks space and natural/historic conservation? 2. What is your understanding of the role of the Planning/Historic Preservation Commission in relation to the Community? City staff? City council? The role that I see the Commission holding is to directly hear the concerns of the public on future developments or changes to existing properties and balance those concerns with those of the property owner or developer to have some legal rights, within regulations and code, to develop their land. While obviously, everyone has biases that they bring into any public or political arena, it is the obligation of the Commission when considering proposals to keep the best interests of the community at the heart of the decision-making process while keeping their independence. With regards to the actual institutions of the Council and staff, it's important to have a strong working relationship with both, as larger projects often have a large amount of manpower involved. Recognizing that the Council is the elected body of the city, it's important to understand that Councilmembers have the voice of the public at their disposal on certain issues and may have additional insight that is worth considering in any decision-making process. In addition, staff has the expertise and knowledge in various avenues, whether environmental, planning, legal or engineering -wise, so reading, understanding reports, listening to findings when presented and asking questions when necessary is equally as important. Lastly, with regards to all 3 various interests, the city has a great tradition of creating master plans and having various regulations in place for the future development of the city. It's critically important that the Commission when looking at future projects and developments to keep in mid the planning that has been done in the past.
