ADJOURNMENT TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET August 21, 1996 II. NEW BUSINESS A. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 96-15 - TMP HOMES - A request to provide community trail improvements for the completion of Tracts 13566 and 13566-2. Background: In 1987, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 13566 for development of a 154-home subdivision on 68 acres of land. A condition of approval required that Community Equestrian Trails be provided along the north, south, and east boundaries of the tract with precise trail alignment subject to review and approval by the Trails Advisory Committee prior to recordation of the Final Tract Map. The applicant, TMP Homes, is proposing to build homes on the remaining 49 lots located at the south end of the tract. The Final Map for these lots has not yet been recorded. Context: Community Trails have been constructed along the north and a portion of the east boundaries of the tract. The current proposal would extend the existing Community Trail along the east side of the tract (actually within San Bernardino County Flood Control right-of-way) to wrap around and through the southerly portion of the tract (see attached site plan). Analysis: The proposed trails are consistent with the approved tentative tract map and with the 0 Etiwanda Specific Plan Community Trail requirements. However, the Trail Implementation Plan requires Community Trails to be a minimum of 20 feet in width while the applicant is proposing 12-foot and 16-foot wide trails. Staff recommends that Community Trails within the Flood Control right-of-way be widened to 20 feet. Also, since tentative map approval and rough grading, the Etiwanda Specific has been amended to require a 106 foot wide right of way for Wardman Bullock Road (see Exhibit "B"). However, the road has been rough graded to respect a 104 foot right of way and the applicant wishes not to regrade to accommodate the 106 foot width. The two foot difference in right of way widths is proposed to be taken from the required 3 foot wide landscape strip between the community trail and the edge of the right of way/property line wall leaving a one foot wide landscape strip. Staff is of the opinion that this would not provide sufficient distance/buffering from property line walls for users of the trail and recommends that the project comply with the Etiwanda Specific Plan requirements. There is a triangular piece of Flood Control District right-of-way adjacent to the southeast corner of the site which could provide an opportunity for a trail rest area. This area is not large enough to function as a trail head with space for horse trails; however, it could accommodate hitching posts and shade trees. Staff recommends that the applicant and the Trails Advisory Committee discuss this opportunity and that the Committee provide the applicant with direction as to rest area design. Staff Planner: Brent Le Count Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Community Trails per the Etiwanda Specific Plan Exhibit "B" - Loop Road Standards per the Etiwanda Specific Plan Exhibit "C" - Site Plan/Trail Alignment h ACTION: The Trails Advisory Committee recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Provide full 106-foot right-of-way for Wardman Bullock Road per the Etiwanda Specific Plan. 2. Off -site Community Trails shall have a minimum width of 20 feet per City standard. 3. Provide trail rest stop within the triangular piece of Flood Control District right-of-way at the southeast corner of the site north or Wardman Bullock Road. Amenities shall include, at a minimum, hitching posts, benches, horse watering fixtures, and shade trees. III. COMMITTEE BUSINESS The Committee recommended that an active equestrian, who is familiar with the existing trail system, be appointed to the Committee. IV.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET May 22, 1996 II. NEW BUSINESS: A. PARCEL MAP 8587 AMENDMENT - PHILLIPS - A request to delete the equestrian easements at 10329 Rancho Street. Background: In 1992, the property owner to the west requested deletion of the north - south equestrian easement between 10313 and 10329 Rancho Street. The Trails Advisory Committee did not support the request and instead recommended shifting the trails to the west property line of 10329 Rancho Street (see Exhibit "A"). The applicant did not pursue the matter further. Context: This is the only undeveloped lot with this block. The subject trail easements do not connect with other trails because there are no equestrian trails on adjoining lots (see Exhibit "B"). The nearest local feeder trails are approximately 400 feet away. Anatysis: The City's goal is to establish a system of interconnected trails for the use and enjoyment of residents. The subject easements are "local feeder" trails which are intended to provide access from the rear of the lot to the public Community Trails. However, in this case staff believes the following facts support the proposed amendment: 1. The trails are isolated and would provide trail access to one other lot. The construction of the trails would only serve to perpetuate a fragmented trail system contrary to the General Plan goals to establish an interconnected trail system. 2. The trails will not contribute to completion of a logical local feeder trail system in this area. The local trail system will not be expanded in this neighborhood because all other properties are developed. 3. The trails do not connect to the Community Trail or Regional Trail system. Staff Planner: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner Attachments: Exhibit "A" - August 19, 1992 Trails Advisory Committee Action Exhibit "B" - Trail System Map Exhibit "C" - Letter from Applicant ACTION: Approved as proposed by applicant. TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET August 19, 1992 B. Request to delete equestrian trail easement at 10313 Rancho Road. Staff has received a written request to delete the equestrian trail easement on the east side of 10313 Rancho Street. The parcel is located south of Hillside Road, east of Mayberry Avenue and is a portion of Parcel Map 8587. The applicant is considering purchasing the parcel to the east (10329 Rancho Road) and wishes to landscape the two lots as one unit and to eventually construct a guest house on the vacant parcel. Staff does not support the applicants request as it would create a disjointed, illogical trail easement along the south property line of the second parcel. However, if the applicant proposes to relocate the easement along the south property line of Parcel One, staff could support this concept since it would create one long continuous trail segment. Staff Planner: Beverly Nissen Attachments: Letter from Applicant Exhibit "B" - Parcel Map ACTION: The committee did not support the request for vacation of the easement as presented, however, they suggested that the trail easement could be relocated as follows: 10 feet on the east side of Parcel 2 and 15 feet on the north side of Parcel 2. The location of the easement in this location would provide equestrian access for five lots and eliminate the portion of the easement which bisects Parcels 1 and 2. If it is still the owner's desire to pursue abandonment, staff will explain the proper procedures. U If �1 City of Rancho Cucamonga ��L sy5r�1 0 Parcels 0 480 960 Feet CU M 1' I f^^ 4 +V ,) April 11, 1996 Community Development Department Planning Division- 10500 Civic Center Dr. P.O. Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Gentlemen: This letter is in regard to the equestrian easement that affects Parcels 1 and 2 of Parcel Map 8587. As we have recently purchased Parcel 2 and plan to build our home here, we have some concerns about the equestrian easement. As you can see from the Parcel Map, the easement runs southerly between Parcels 1 and 2, and then easterly along the south side of Parcel 2 where it dead ends. As the Assessor's Map shows, there is no "feeder trail" nearby for this easement to connect into. Because the lots all around Parcel 2 have already been developed, the easement will never be used for its intended purpose. The improvement of this easement would not only be a waste of time and money, but would create other problems as well. Our first concern is for the alley that would be created with the improvement of the easement. At our previous home, we had just such a problem. Because the trail was never used for equestrian purposes, it became an alley for drug use, graffiti, and neighborhood crime. Chino Police officers had to walk the trail regularly. Although the developer planned for the equestrian trail to be an asset to the neighborhood, it soon proved otherwise. The homeowners finally had the easement vacated and the trails were closed off completely. Our other concern is for proper drainage of water off the lot. Our engineer discovered that a drainage problem would occur with the development of the equestrian easement. He has since ceased work on our grading plan until the issue of the easement is resolved. We understand and agree that equestrian trails are an asset to the community in preserving the rural -character in Alta Loma. However, this particular easement serves no function and can, in fact, foster crime. Page 1 of 2 It �� 6�fy (P-2 r� y Enclosed are the notarized signatures from all property owners of legal record for Parcels 1 and 2 of Parcel Map 8587. We respectfully request that you review this matter and agree to vacate this easement. Sincerely, Victor and Lori Phillips Parcel 1 James McKenney Q- Patricia McKenney Parcel 2 Victor M. Phillips Lori Jane Phillips • TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET �- May 22, 1996 NEW BUSINESS: B. PARCEL MAP 9431 AMENDMENT - LIU - A request to relocate the east -west equestrian trail along the south side of Lot 4 to the north side of the driveway for lot 4 and to delete the eastern portion of the trail. Background: Tentative Parcel Map 9431 was approved by the Planning Commission in 1986 with a condition requiring an equestrian trail along the south of Lot 4 with the driveway on the north side of the trail. This was based upon a Trails Advisory Committee recommendation intended to avoid a side yard -adjacent trail condition relative to Lot 3. The Parcel Map has since been recorded with trail easements conforming to this condition and the applicant has received approval of a Development Review and subsequent Grading Plan for development of the site accordingly. Context: There is an existing equestrian local feeder trail along the north edge of the site and a small County Flood Control District property along the east edge of the site. The property to the south is developed with a church. A Community Trail exists along the west side of Beryl as part of Heritage Park. Analysis: • Issue 1: Relocating the trail north of driveway. The justification is to eliminate the need for the trail to cross over the driveway serving Lot 4. The driveway crossing should be constructed with a medium broom finish concrete to prevent horses from slipping. The applicant feels that this will create an unsafe condition for users of the trail and an associated liability for the property owner of Lot 4. It would however, create a side yard - adjacent trail condition for Lot 3. Side yard trails have been discouraged in similar cases because of potential nuisance for residents (i.e., trail dust, smell, flies, loss of privacy). -� Staff does not support this portion of the request. Issue 2: Deleting the trail portion connecting to the east project boundary. The applicant feels that the trail will become muddy and slippery from drainage being discharged into the County Flood Control system at the southeast corner of Lot 4. The only purpose for this portion of the trail is to provide a connection to the County Flood Control land to the east. It is very unlikely that the County Flood Control land to the east would ever be developed because it is landlocked (i.e., has no access to a public street), is too small, and is very narrow. Staff supports this portion of the request.

CITY OF RAND40 CUCJM ONGA L LOYD 8. Fi WS. CITY Y ENGINEER by: FOCUS ENGINEERING 8 Corporate Park, Suite 300 Irvine, CA 92714 PH. (714) 442-8368 Fax. (714) 786-1838 April 18, 1996 City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91720 Attn.: Mr. Brent Lecount RE: Equestrian Trail Relocation for Parcel Map 9431 Dear Brent: I would like to take this opportunity to request you and the equestrian trail committee's approval for the relocation of the proposed equestrian trail as per recorded Parcel Map 9431. Based upon the recorded parcel map 9431, dated Dec. 19, 1989, a 15 feet private equestrian and drainage easement are currently located along the southerly property line of lot 4 and along easterly property line of lot 1,2 & 3 as shown on Exhibit "A". A copy of recorded parcel map is also attached for your information. In additional, an existing 15 feet equestrian trail facility is located along the northerly property line of lot 1 and 4 between Beryl Street and San Bernardino County Flood Control District's right-of- way which links into the master trail system. The proposed private equestrian trail will be connected to this existing system at the northeast corner of lot 1 as shown on Exhibit "A". According to the recorded parcel map 9431, a 30 feet wide driveway easement is located between lot 3 and the 15 feet private equestrian and drainage easement. A proposed 15 feet driveway, within this 30 feet driveway easement, will be constructed in order to provide the access for the lot 4 through the development processing. As per our analysis, this proposed driveway 4 will cross the private equestrian system. It not only creates an open end trail system in lot 4 but also generates an un-safe condition when horses are crossing the driveway, specially after the construction of lot 3 as shown on Exhibit "B". Due to the natural slope condition, most of the site drains to southeasterly direction. The surface run off will be carried by a proposed drainage swale, within the recorded easement, and discharged into the flood control system with erosion protection system at the southeast corner of lot 4 as d ,� shown on Exhibit "C". However, per the recorded map, the proposed private equestrian trail is also located within this 15 feet easement along the southerly property line of lot 4. It will create a muddy and slippery condition when horses pass through the discharge area as indicated on Exhibit "C„ Therefore, we would like to request a relocation of the 15 feet private equestrian easement from its current location (along the southerly property line of lot 4) to the location which is adjacent to the southerly property line of lot 3 as shown on Exhibit "D". The drainage swale will remain in its location in order to serve the site. The benefits of this relocation are as following: 1. Provide a closed equestrian trail system through the tract. 2. Eliminate any crossing between proposed driveway and trail system - reduce the possibility of traffic accidents in the future. Eliminate equestrian trail system crossing future drainage discharge location - protect the proposed erosion system and reduce slippery condition for the horses crossing. 4. The revised location will still provide an nice and convenient private equestrian system throughout the entire site as shown on Exhibit `B". 5. Under current condition, the adjacent southern property is a church site. It has a direct access to and from the San Bernardino County Flood Control District's right-of-way which links into the master trail system along their easterly property boundary. 6. Since the proposed trail is located adjacent a residential lot, a tract wall will be cons eructed along southerly property line of lot 3 in order to mitigate any possible impact as shown on Exhibit "E". Attached are twelve (12) copies of 20 scale site plan for your review and approval. Based upon our engineering stand point, we strongly recommend to relocate this private equestrian system to its new location. Thank you very much for your time and attention in this matter. Please call me if you have any questions, or if we can be of any further assistance. We are looking forward to hearing from you regarding this matter. Sincerely, Focu harlie C.

NEW BUSINESS A. Tentative Parcel Map 15692 - A four -lot subdivision located on the west side of Hellman Avenue, south of Hillside. 1. As part of the application, the applicant is proposing 15-foot wide local equestrian trails around the perimeter of the project. In two locations, trees are located within the proposed equestrian trail easement. One of the trees is an oak in good condition. Rather than removing the trees, staff recommends widening the trail at these locations to provide adequate clearance. Trail fencing should be provided around the trees to prevent interference with the trees. 2. No Community Trails are required for this area pursuant to the Trails Implementation Plan. Community Trails are located along Hillside Road, Wilson Avenue, and Beryl Street. Staff Planner: Scott Murphy Attachments: Parcel Map ACTION: Recommended approval subject to: 1. Widening trail easement to swing fencing around Oak tree 2. Providing 10' vehicle gate with 5' step through access where trails meet Hellman Avenue. TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET MARCH 20, 1996 if. NEW BUSINESS B. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96-09 & DESIGN REVIEW 96-03 - SANBAG - A request to move an existing residence and accessory structures (Sam and Alfreda Maloof Residence and Workshop -National Register eligible), conversion of same to a House Museum (Arts and Crafts Center) and construction of a new Residence on a 5.54 acre site in the Very Low (VL) zone located at the southeast corner of Carnelian and Almond Streets - 1061-281-16. 1. Two Community Trails are required and proposed for this area pursuant to the Trails Implementation Plan. Community Trails are located along Almond and Carnelian Streets. The Trail on Almond Street already exists. However, the existing concrete trail fence will be replaced to current City standards and also new PVC fencing along both sides of the trail. The Carnelian Street frontage will be improved to the full collector road standards with the full 20-foot trail width improvements (15-foot trail and 5 feet of landscaping). The applicant - plans to install decorative open view fencing around the perimeter of the site therefore, trail fencing may not be necessary on the east side of the Carnelian Street Trail. 2.. Currently, the Engineering Division proposes to require a concrete sidewalk along Hidden Farm Road in order to accommodate children to and from school. However, such a walk will not connect to any existing walkway. As a compromise, the Trail Committee may want to consider a modified local trail design within the standard 12-foot parkway. Such a trail would be used by the many equestrians and pedestrians in the area and would be more in keeping with the rural life style. Staff Planner: Larry Henderson Attachments: Detailed Landscape/Site Plan ACTION: Recommended approval subject to: 1. Provide 20' Community Trail on Carnelian per Standard Drawing 1003 (8' parkway+ 12' trail), except inside trail fencing may be deleted and metal picket fence used instead. 2.

NEW BUSINESS B. NORTHEAST PARK: Concept site and phasing plan for future 26 acre park located on the east side of East Avenue and approximately 500 feet north of Summit Avenue. Attached for review is the Concept Plan for Northeast Park and the staff report for the June 29, 1995, meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission. At that meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plan, heard public testimony, and recommended approval of the Concept Plan and Phase I construction to the City Council. Park Development Guidelines state that plans for a new park should also be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Accordingly, the Northeast Park item has been placed on the Planning Commission Agenda for July 26, 1995. Design Comments: The western portion of the site is fallow agricultural land bounded on the north and south by mature eucalyptus windrows. It is bounded by fallow agricultural land to the north, developed Etiwanda School District facilities to the south, and fallow agricultural land to the west. This western portion of the site is recommended for the first phase development of the park, including active sports, passive recreation, and pedestrian trails. The eastern portion of the site is vacant and covered with native alluvial fan vegetation associated with the Etiwanda Creek drainage. This portion of the site is bounded by Flood Control levees to the north, alluvial fan scrub to the south, and Flood Control levees to the east. Summit Avenue bisects the eastern third of the site, but is planned to be relocated in the future. The eastern portion of the site is conceptually planned, except for the trail system. Pedestrian trails are proposed throughout the eastern as well as the western portions of the site as part of the first phase of construction. The County Flood Control District plans major changes to the existing Etiwanda Creek levees which adjoin the site to the north and the east. Proposed changes include construction of a debris basin north of 24th Street (Wilson Avenue), removal of existing levees, and channelization of Etiwanda Creek south of the debris basin_. Design for the flood control facilities will not be finalized until funding is available for construction. Staff Comments: The purpose of this meeting is to consider the trail requirements for the project, including planned trails throughout the park site and future linkages to the community trails system adopted in the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. (See attached.) The Phase I trails within the park site are designated "multi -purpose". For Phase I they are designed primarily for pedestrian use and will be constructed of decomposed granite. In future phases, the trail system within the park will be upgraded to Community Trail status. Issue: The main issue to be considered is the north -south alignment of the future Community trail indicated on the Etiwanda Specific Plan trails map. The attached Concept Plan indicates links with the north -south trail along the Etiwanda Creek west levee. There is also a north -south "trail" through the center of the Park site. Staff recommends that both locations be designed so that it will be possible to upgrade one or both to Community Trail standards. Flexibility is important in order to respond to the future design of Flood Control Facilities and development of the surrounding land. Attachments Staff Planner: Miki Bratt ACTION: p �' Gd�wO� ��'(VG CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: June 29, 1995 TO: Members of the Park and Recreation Commission FROM: W. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer BY: Lucinda E. Hackett, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: NORTHEAST PARK RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission approve the Northeast Park project construction plan for 10 to 12 acres and recommend approval to City Council. A potential future plan for information purposes is provided for the remainder of the park site consisting of 26 to 28 acres. The Northeast Park site is located on approximately 38 acres of land on the east side of East Avenue, north of Summit Avenue. City Council approved the acquisition of the park site in October of 1988. Per the City's General Plan, this facility will provide amenities similar in nature to those found at Red Hill and Heritage Community Parks. The City has received grant money from the State in the amount of $522,250.00 to formulate the project improvements. However, the City is obligated to begin spending the grant money prior to the expiration date of June 30, 1996. In addition, $442,000.00 is available from Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 Capital Improvement funds and funding for bike and pedestrian trails is available through the Air Quality Improvement Grant. Due to funding limitations, the construction of the project area may have to occur in two or more phases. The current funding available which is approximately $842.000.00 will facilitate the construction of the first phase of the project area. RJM Design Group, Inc. was awarded the contract to develop construction plans for the project area from a potential future concept plan. Two public workshops were conducted by the staff and the design consultant to obtain input from the residents and sports groups. The first group of invitees consisted of the property owners within Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 and the second group of invitees consisted of all other residents within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area. Representatives of each of the sports groups were included in both workshops. There were an average of 17 residents at each workshop. The workshop included discussions of the recreational needs of the area, a walk of the park site, small group discussions, ending with a final consensus of what amenities should be 1 in the park. Although the turn out was small, those who attended found the workshop a positive experience. On May 23, 1995 the Northeast Park Committee met (the committee is made up of the participants of each workshop) to review and discuss the proposed plan of the park developed from the consensus of the two Saturday workshops. The comments from the meeting were taken into consideration and a final plan was developed. This is the plan that is being presented to the.Commission for approval. Project improvements will encompass the westerly 8 to 12 acres of the site (depending on funding). These improvements will consist of a tot lot, picnic areas, two soccer/football fields without lighting, an open space passive area, multi -purpose trail and a parking lot. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Tierra Madre Consultants has been hired to investigate the biological resources of the Northeast Park site and assess the potential impacts to determine significance as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Of particular concern is the California Gnatcatcher and special status plants that include the Slender -Homed Spineflower, Santa Ana River Woollystar and the Person's Spring Beauty. If any species are identified on the site, mitigation measures that would reduce impacts to below a level of significance as defined by CEQA will have to be addressed. If none of these species are found on the site a Negative Declaration Environmental Impact Report will be filed for the entire park site.

CONSIDERATION OF TRAIL ACCESS FOR 5701 SAPPHIRE STREET - The consideration of trail access for a proposed single family residence on an existing lot of record - APN: 1061-691-13. Design Comments: The lot is currently vacant and void of any significant vegetation or structures and slopes from north to south at roughly 6 percent. This infill lot is bounded by single family development to the north and south, and new residences are under construction east of the parcel. Staff Comments: The purpose of this meeting is to consider how this lot should have access to the equestrian trail system. The plans do not indicate any proposal to access the trail system at this time. Currently, the equestrian trail system exists in the area as shown in Exhibit "A". A local trail constructed in conjunction with Tract 13359, east of this parcel, is adjacent to this lot and runs along the entire length of the east property line. The existing homes to the north and south of this lot do not have equestrian trail access. A trail crossing with signage exists on Sapphire Street, which lines up with the south property line of this lot. On the west side of Sapphire, a private equestrian trail, which is someday planned to become a Community Trail, runs east/west behind a tract of homes. This community trail also exists along the southern boundary of Tract 13359 and points east. Staff observed equestrians using the southern portion of this lot as a short cut to get to the Sapphire crossing during a field inspection. The City's Trail Implementation Plan shows an east/west community trail along the southern boundary of this lot, a crossing on Sapphire Street for the continuation of this Community Trail west and connecting to the north/south Community Trail along the west side of Sapphire Street. Since the Trail Implementation Plan calls for this connection and the piece along the southern boundary of this lot is the "missing link," staff would recommend that the Community Trail be constructed per City Standards, including step-throughs, gates, etc., in conjunction with the residence on this lot, and an equestrian gate per City Standards provided for Community Trail Access.

OLD BUSINESS A. TRACT 12332-2 - BROCK - Review of local trail status. Staff Planner: Beverly Luttrell ACTION: The Trails Advisory Committee reviewed a proposal by Euclid Management Company to selectively close certain equestrian trails in the above - noted tract (see attached Exhibits). The Committee determined it could not be acceptable to close the trails since this would only exacerbate an existing problem and allow the eroded condition to probably worsen over time. The Committee suggested the following solutions: 1. Utilize a coarse crushed aggregate base material, which is not as erodable as decomposed granite, to correct the trail surfacing. 2. Install additional water bars at an appropriate angle and height to direct water into the adjacent concrete drainage ditches. 3. Apply a soil cement material to the trail surface subsequent to correcting the present problem. The TAC directed staff to investigate the current trail standards and their adequacy in relation to erosion control. III. NEW BUSINESS Pam Henry brought up the following items: 1. Staff should investigate the local trail requirements for the Hillside Community Church (CUP 88-10). It appears as though the trail has been blocked. 2. The Almond Trail associated with the Davis plan check is not open yet. Dan indicated that the trail has not been accepted by the City yet. 3. The drainage and street improvement project at Sapphire and Banyan should be monitored so that equestrian trails are not adversely 1 affected. 4. A trail connection from the debris basin to Amethyst (north (-,! Heritage Park) should become a priority.

ABSTRACT: This report presents issues and comments on how to publish city trail maps. II. BACKGROUND: At the last meeting, the Committee indicated a desire to publish trail maps for the public. The Planning Division had intended to publish a hiking and riding trails map and a bicycle trail map following adoption of the final trail alignments with the Trails Implementation Plan. The Committee also suggested that this be a cooperative effort with Community Services, who will join with us today to begin discussions. A variety of trail maps will be displayed at our meeting. III. THE PROCESS: Trails have become a popular form of recreation, and there is a great demand for good, high -quality maps to guide the trail user. Trail mapping has evolved using creative ideas for presenting trail information. Earlier "route" maps which showed only the location of trails have been updated to provide valuable information for the trail user, such as difficulty, hazards, services and points of interest. The basic steps toward aroducinq a successful trail map are listed below and should form the outline for discussion. 1) Determine map user profile: why map? 2) Select map type (suitability vs. route): how to map? 3) Determine map content (trail user safety, parks, points -of - interest, restroom facilities, etc): what to map? IV. MAP USERS: The majority of trail maps are designed for adults. The complexity of many of these maps assume, possibly incorrectly, that the trail user is a sophisticated map reader. Many other adults and children may also be potential map users but with a different set of map reading skills and needs. However, staff believes that junior high school age children are probably the youngest age group that can be expected to use trail maps without adult assistance. Any trail map should have important community features, such as schools and parks, labeled for easy reference. If trail maps are desired for elementary age children, they should t` TRAILS MAPS August 15, 1990 Page 2 be designed separately with these users in mind. Such trail maps could become part of a trail education program. V. TYPES OF MAPS: -Defining the function of the map and identifying the primary user group for whom it is intended will help to determine the type of map which should be published. Trail maps exist in a variety of forms to serve the needs of the various types of trail users. The most commonly used trail maps are the USGS maps for hikers and horsemen in mountain areas which illustrate trail routes, terrain and distances. Some maps outline short, recreational loop rides. Others offer information to bicycle commuters on the most direct routes to various employment centers. Many maps define a particular long-distance touring route, showing additional information such as availability of services (restrooms and restaurants) and points of interest along the route. Trail maps are typically one of two types: route or suitability. Route maps show just those trails designated as public trails (as opposed to showing all public and private trails and traditional trail paths). Suitability maps were developed specifically for bicycle trails and involve a complete street rating system where all (or most) streets are rated and coded for their "bicycling suitability." One problem with suitability maps is that standards will not always be made from the same point of reference, i.e., what's easy for one cyclist or rider can be difficult for another. The Trails Implementation Plan has pre- determined the suitability of certain streets for bicycling. Likewise, the alignment of regional and community hiking and riding trials has also been determined. Staff recommends that route maps would be the most a rovided that supplemental information is ini ropriate map ided. Route maps are easier for users to interpret and are more appropriate to the relatively small scale of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. VI. MAP CONTENT: Readability is a very important feature of any map. The clarity of the information presented depends on two things: the overall map design and its careful execution; and maintaining a balance between level of detail shown and creating a cluttered map by trying to show too much information. Symbols can provide an easy to follow listing 'of key information. The purpose of the map (to show trail routes) and the needs of the potential users (primarily adults) will help dictate the information which should be shown and the manner in which it is presented. 3 TRAILS MAPS August 15, 1990 ti Page 3 While map content may vary a great deal, there are few items which should be included on every hiking, riding and biking map: o Title displayed prominently on the cover, o Legend, scale of miles and north arrow, o Date of publication and the name and address of the map producer (either Planning Division and/or Community Services), o Location map, showing how the area covered by the map relates to a larger area such as the Inland Empire (something like Figure 1 of the Trails Plan), o Description of how to use the map (this applies more to suitability maps), including a "qualifying" statement regarding who the map is intended to serve (level of user skill assumed), o Traffic law and trail safety information (maps are a great opportunity for education), o Disclaimer noting explicitly that the map producers made no claims regarding the absolute "safety" of cycling on any street or trail -- there is always some risk involved. Dependinq on the type of trail ma i.e. - horse riding versus bicycling some additional information is desirable for the trail user: o Parks and their support facilities, such as restrooms and drinking fountains, and schools, o Storage (i.e. - bike racks or hitching posts), o Rest areas (shade + benches), o Transit stations and park and ride lots (for bicycle commuters), o Services (i.e. - eating, lodging and repair), o Points of interest, such as historic landmarks, Sports Complex, Central Park, Chaffey College, and particularly scenic areas or scenic overlooks, TRAILS MAPS August 15, 1990 Page 4 o Suitability information, such as heavy traffic, steep uphills, poor surface/drainage, and hazards, o Time line chart showing how far a hiker, horse rider or cyclist can travel within a certain time. VII. CONCLUSION: Staff requests your concurrence with the following goals to guide the production of our trail maps: 1) To promote the Master Plan of Trails and trail use in general, 2) To educate trail users about trail safety, 3) To inform residents 'about interesting community features and how to access them via trails, 4) To promote bicycle commuting. DC:js CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: August 1,1990 t S af i✓' , TO: Trails Advisory Committee FROM: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: REGIONAL TRAIL PRIORITIES I. ABSTRACT: Staff is seeking your recommendations on implementation (construction) priority for Regional Trails. II. ANALYSIS: The Draft Trails Implementation Plan contains prioritized lists for hiking and riding trail improvement projects, as well as bicycle trail improvement projects (see pages 38-39). These lists as currently drafted almost exclusively focus on the Community Trail system. Therefore, it is important to address Regional Trails as well. Also, funding sources may vary depending on the location of trails (i.e. along streets or off-street); hence, funds may not be available for Community Trails, but become available for Regional Trails. As you know, the Trails Implementation Plan will include a Financing Plan to pay for the trail system. Assuming funding does become available, the City Council will need to know which trails to build first. Practical considerations dictate a multi -year phased program of trail improvements (even if funding for the entire system was "in -the -bank"). The following criteria* should be used to assign priorities: 1) Is there a high degree of community or regional significance? (This should be thought of in the long-term, i.e. - buildout). 2) Would the trail provide a vital linkage in the overall trail system? (This could be short- or long-term). 3) Would the trail provide benefit to a large number of people or a minority? (For example, in the shor -term, Day Creek Channel would serve a lessor number of people than Demens Channel.) *Also, for the purposes of this discussion, assume that "Regional Trail" means that hiking, riding and biking trails would all be constructed at the same time. Once, the priorities are determined by the Committee for Regional Trails, you'll need to go one step further and decide overal riori unity and Regional Trails. This will involve combining the R ist wi st on 39. Remember, these two different trail systems may For is ofitting a Community Parkway Trail along Sapphire ore important than installing a�LII n rail along Deer Creek or Day Creek Chann . CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE J �o AGENDA o P Q DATE: August 15, 1990 TO: Trails Advisory Committee FROM: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: CITY GIFTS CATALOG The City is developing a City Gifts Catalog (see attached memo). This is a concept which has worked successfully in other communities. There are many items that businesses and residents would be able to donate, either in materials, labor or funds. Staff believes that the City's trail system could benefit from such donations. Trail user groups, such as the Alta Loma Riding Club, are another potential donor. Staff is seeking your input regarding trail items that could be included in the City Gift Catalog. As a starting point for discussion, staff has attached a preliminary lists. The realm of possibilities can range from "big ticket" items, such as a regional trail underpass ( ,000 to a single trail sign ($100). •Zw.i{W) Attachment cc: Susan Mickey �,�,�y�/ �� Cam'`.

The exact locations are shown on the attached map. These four trails have been chosen with one goal in mind - establish a usable trail network as -envisioned by the Recreation Element of the General Plan. The following criteria were used to select these trails: 1) The trail location is critical to the overall functioning of the trail network. 2) The trail would provide maximum trail access/service for the least effort - in other words, "cost effective". 3) Relatively small section of trail acquisition/improvement is needed compared to the length of usable trail created. 4) Timing is critical. The attached list summarizes the existing trail conditions, reason for implementation, and the necessary acquisition and/or improvement. Because the opportunity is "ripe", I feel that the following should be acted on immediately: 1) the DeSimone property at the NWC of Almond and Carnelian, and, 2) the missing link in the Beechwood Trail @ Jasper Street. Please contact the easements can be o Let me know what you find out. OD/DC/kap attachments cc: Equestrian Advisory Committee as soon as possible to see if ee-o -c arge or Purchased. •� •�, 4i N3Ad G1V81Hoa' 1S3HIAW NVW113 c� Wouu0y� i O d! •: 2 % J m T TRAIL PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. ALMOND TRAIL: a) The DeSimone property located at the northwest corner of Almond and Carnelian is currently for sale. Therefore, the opportunity to obtain a public easement along the south boundary is excellent. This dirt road is a traditional riding route which consists of the abandoned section of Almond Street which provides access to the backyards of properties to the south. This section of trail will Provide a continuous trail from the western City limits to Amethyst. b) Trail section between Demens Channel regional trail (top of Amethyst) and Archibald. The Corps of Engineers - Phase I project will complete the Demens Channel regional trail. Therefore, this section of trail will provide access to the regional trail and Heritage Park for residents in northeast Alta Loma. This sectiorr of the Almond trail passes across unimproved Flood Control land, and along an existing local feeder trail easement at the north end of Tract 9521. The west end of this easement is blocked with a chain link fence. The east end has a two -foot flood protection wall that could be made into a "step -over" by removing one course of block. 2. BEECHWOOD/WILSON TRAIL: a) Missing link at 5706 Jasper Street resulted from an oversight by the County in not providing a connecting easement on lot 26 of Tract 9015. This section of trail would provide a continuous trail from the western City limits to Hellman. Presently, riders are forced to ride on Jasper Street through the busy area at the Stork Elementary School. Horse owners west of Jasper would get a "straight -shot" trail to Heritage Park and the Demens regional trail. b) Trail section between Hellman and Amethyst consists of a citrus grove on the west and new residences on the east. Lack of trail easements in the area forces riders onto streets to get to Heritage Park and Demens regional trail. Because of recent development on the west side of Amethyst, the last opportunity to obtain an easement is now during the construction of the last one or two homes. Acquisition of an easement here and on Jasper would virtually provide the first complete east -west trail in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 0 /PV TRAIL PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS 3. SAPPHIRE: This section from the Beechwood Trail to Hillside is already developed with full street improvements, including sidewalks. Numerous local feeder trails spill out onto the Sapphire Street pavement. Because of the speed and increasing volume of traffic on Sapphire, it is important to provide a community trail in the parkway. It is preferable to keep the trail route on the west side of Sapphire; however, the east side may be easier to implement because of the vacant parcel behind Stork School. Improvements would include grading and clearing the existing parkway for a trail, and possible driveway modifications. 4. HILLSIDE: This section from Hellman to Amethyst is already developed with full street improvements and homes fronting onto Hillside. To travel in an east -west direction, riders must use streets because of disconnected local feeder trails. The recent completion of the Hillside widening project has made trail access possible up to this section. Completion of this section will provide access to Heritage Park and Demens regional trail for property owners east of Amethyst. Improvements would include cutting path through grass parkway and possible driveway modifications. We, J COMMUNITY TRAIL PRIORITIES Equestrian Advisory Committee May 1983 PRIOR.

COMPLETENESS - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO FINDING THE APPLICATION COMPLETE: 1. None. B. ISSUES - PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL ISSUES: 1. Typically, drainage devices of private local trails are contained in private drainage easements that are separate from the trail easement. Fifteen feet of width is required for the trail and additional width is required for drainage. In addition, relocating the gutter north of the trail would protect the trail from off -site flows. 2. Ramps to private, local equestrian trails should be outside of the trails. (Refer to ramps of Lots 2 and 4). 3. Provide more detail on the drainage of the local trail that serves Lots 2 and 3. Flow lines currently cross where future walls are expected to be. 4. A grading easement for permission on adjacent property shall be executed before the map is recorded. 5. Submitted drawings have many instances of existing and proposed "Community Trails." The only existing or proposed Community Trail within or adjacent to the project is the easement in Tract 13359, to the south. No Community Trails are to be constructed with the subject project. All other existing or proposed trails are private local trails. C. PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Per the City Driveway Policy, driveways on Sapphire St., a "Collector " street, shall have circular or hammerhead driveways. Lot 3 shall have its driveway on Brittany Lane. 2. Lot 3 to maintain parkways on both Brittany Lane and Sapphire St. If Lot 3 has a wall along Sapphire, it shall be at least 5 feet behind the sidewalk and provide access for homeowner maintenance of the Sapphire parkway.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET June 13, 2007 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18097 - STEVEN SPIES -A request to subdivide 4.77 acres of land into eight lots in the Residential Very Low Density District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located on Sapphire Street, north of Banyan Street - APN: 1061-691-04. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is within the Equestrian Overlay District. The project is surrounded by single-family residential development to the north, south, east, and west. The site slopes from north to south. The applicant is proposing to subdivide 4.77 acres of land into eight lots for the purpose of developing one single-family residence per lot. The three westerly lots take access off of Sapphire Street with the other lots gaining access from the existing portion of Brittany Lane and a new cul-de-sac. The project includes the development of a Local Feeder Trail at the rear of each lot. In addition, the extension of a Community Trail is proposed behind Lots 6, 7, and 8. The average lot size is 25,972 square feet, which exceeds the 22,500 square foot average required in the Very Low Residential District. ANALYSIS: The Equestrian Overlay District requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail and is designed to provide access for the trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. The site has existing trails nearby. There is a Local Trail running along the adjacent lots to the north but no legal access is available. The applicant proposes constructing a new 15-foot wide Community Trail along the east property line of the site as an extension of the Community Trail to the south. This trail will connect to the proposed Community Trail that runs along the north side of the project. The project has been designed to meet the requirements for trails including a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area in the rear of each of the proposed lots. However, the applicant needs to expand the width of the trails to get the V-gutter out of the 15-foot trail width. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Advisory Committee approve the proposal as submitted subject to the following conditions: 1. Provide the Feeder Trail with a 15- to 20-foot Transition Vehicle Gate with City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs and side step -through gates for horse access per City standard 1006-B. 2. The proposed 15-foot width for both drainage and trail purposes should be widened to place the V-gutter outside of the minimum 15 feet required exclusively for equestrian users. 3. The trail surface shall be decomposed granite with a 4-inch minimum base. Remove the rocks and debris then grade surface smooth.

ACTION: The Trails Advisory Committee reviewed the project at the meeting on March 14, 2007. They approved the project and asked that the Commissioners consider asking the developer to use concrete instead of cobblestones on the public right-of-way along the east side of the proposed cul-de-sac. B. TRAIL PRIORITIES ANNUAL REVIEW. ACTION - TRAILS ADVISORY RECOMMENDATION: On March 14, 2007, the Trails Advisory Committee reviewed this item, recommended approval as previously described, and made the following additional comments and recommendations: 1. The residential areas currently within the City are nearing build -out and the completion of the Trails System has not proceeded in a similar manner because of the back log of those uncompleted or nonexistent trails located within areas developed prior to the City's Incorporation. The City's current rate of construction is less -than an average of a 1/4 mile of the trail per year would mean the system would not be implemented for many years. Given the increase in traffic levels and the trail system needs it is recommended that a policy be considered to increase the completion rates of these remaining Trail gaps. TRAILS ACTION AGENDA March 14, 2007 Page 2 2. Because of the traffic safety, grade condition, and high equestrian usage on Sapphire Street, it is highly recommended that the remaining gaps in the Sapphire Street segments outlined in the ALRC letter be funded and completed in 2007-2008 if at all possible. C. TRAIL GATE RELOCATION ON TURQUOISE AVENUE AND JENNET STREET.

Discussion of the status of the local feeder trail maintenance with Code Enforcement Representatives. ACTION: Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor attended the meeting and made a brief presentation. RECOMMENDATION: Consensus of the Committee was to forward a recommendation to each Commission and if approved, forward to the City Council for their consideration as follows: 1. An on -going annual pro -active education and a trail clean up day to be adopted by the City Council in order to assist with the efforts to protect and enhance the Community Recreation amenity called the Local Feeder Trail component. 2. Since Code Enforcement only has four staff people and notices are given without priority recommendations, there is concern as to the time frame from when a problem is reported, reviewed by Code Enforcement, and then action required by the property owner. A tiered system was a recommendation to be explored. The idea being that a trail being completely blocked by illegal fencing, obstruction, etc., would be the highest priority tier. Following that would be priority levels for debris, dumping, etc., and then for vegetation overhang, trail repair required, etc. PUBLIC COMMUNICATION This is the time and place for the general public to address the Trails Advisory Committee.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET October 11, 2006 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18034 - HILLVIEW DEVELOPMENT LLC - A request to subdivide 3.83 gross acres of land into 7 lots in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) located on the northwest corner of East Avenue and 1-210 Freeway - APN: 0225-381-06. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The property is located on the northwest corner of East Avenue and the 1-210 Freeway. To the north, the property fronts Chickasaw Road which will be left as an improved cul-de-sac, with curb and gutter. Prior to the applicant submitting the project, a portion of the property was acquired from Cal -Trans by the developer to create a developable lot. There is a concrete drainage channel that runs east to west through the property and is visible on Lot 1. The existing drainage channel was originally constructed as part of the 1-210 Freeway. A private equestrian trail abuts the west property line and runs parallel to Lot 1. The adjacent property owner has agreed to allow access to this easement. All 7 lots meet the minimum Code requirements for the Very Low Residential District. According to the Acoustical Analysis (March 1, 2006), a perimeter block wall will be required on the south side of the property along all lots. To accommodate the recommendations, a wall extending up to a maximum of 12 feet is required, along with a variance at the time of Development/Design Review of the homes. At this time, the applicant is proposing only to subdivide the property and sell to a developer for development of the homes. The 3.83-acre site is predominantly sparse vegetation with 8 mature trees proposed to be removed. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to include wall heights and the themed rock walls abutting East Avenue which will be required with residential development on this major street. The required wall heights and variance requirements will be included as part of the Standard Conditions for Planning Commission review and approval. ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements) on a minimum average lot size of 22,500 square feet. The average lot size proposed for the project is 25,194 square feet; hence the lot sizes are large enough for horse keeping. The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail which is an existing trail on the west side of Lot 1. This provides a convenient path of travel for the Local Trail rides with a connection to the larger Community Trail network in the Etiwanda area. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee review the proposed trail layout, and provide input and direction on the following issues: 1. A detailed plan indicating trail widths, maximum slopes, physical conditions, fencing, and weed control, in accordance with City Master Trail drawings, shall be submitted for City Trails Coordinator review and approval prior to approval and recordation of the Final Tract Map and prior to approval of street improvement and Grading Plans. The Developer shall upgrade and construct all trails, including fencing and drainage devices, in conjunction with street improvements. ITEM A OR 'TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENTS SHEET TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18034— HILLVIEW DEVELOPMENT October 11, 2006 Page 2 a. Previously Local Feeder Trails (i.e., private equestrian easements) shall, at a minimum, be fenced with two -rail, 4-inch PVC fence to define both sides of the easement, in accordance with City standard drawing 1010-A. However, because of sound wall required by the acoustical analysis, the south wall will be for noise mitigation, and constructed of the decorative block. The north side of the Trail should be either or a combination of the decorative block and metal wrought iron picket in order to create a neighborhood theme element. b. Local Feeder Trail grades shall not exceed .5 percent at the downstream end of a trail for a distance of 25 feet behind the public right-of-way Me to prohibit trail debris from reaching the street. Drainage devices may be required by the Building Official. C. For single-family residential developments within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District, at least one model home shall be provided with a constructed 24-foot by 24-foot corral with appropriate fencing. d. The 3-foot wide cross lot V-gutter shall not be permitted within the 15-foot wide equestrian easement. e. A flat graded corral pad of either 24-foot by 24-foot or 12 feet by 48 feet adjacent to the local feeder trail shall be required. f. If the V-gutter depth is needed, then the appropriate equestrian building shall be required. 2. All trail surfacing shall be of decomposed granite with 4-inch minimum base. Remove rocks and debris and grade surface smooth. The decomposed granite shall be the complete width of the trail up to the property boundary. No gaps allowing weeds to grow shall be allowed. 3. Where trail gradient exceeds 4 percent, water bars are required and shall be reviewed and approved by the Trails Advisory Committee. 4. The drainage channel in -stalled by Cal Trans requires a bridge structure for the gate access area. The bridge structure shall be a minimum 4-inch by 8-inch pressure treated rough lumber anchored with a 5/8-inch bolt washer and nut recessed and cambered on both ends with a minimum 8-inch by 8-inch concrete footing. 5. Private access gates are required on each lot per Standard Plan Drawing #1008. A minimum of 5 feet 6 inch gate is required. Staff recommends 2 gates totaling 10 feet for easier access.

COMMENT SHEET UP DATE ON THE TRAILS BUDGET PRIORITIES August 8, 2006 Page 1 TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET August 9, 2006 OLD BUSINESS: UP DATE ON THE TRAILS BUDGET PRIORITIES BACKGROUND: In February of this year the Trails Advisory Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Planning Commission completed and forwarded Trail Budget Recommendations to the City Engineering Department as required under the City Trails Implementation Plan. This report is to update the TAC as to the direction the Engineering Department has recommended based on the previous recommendations. ANANLYSIS: As of July of 2006 the Engineering Department have proposed the following fiscal years Projects, dependent on annual funding and review. A location Map is included at the end of this report. FY 2006/2007 — Current Beryl Street, north of Banyan up to Wilson — Trail on the east side. Currently budgeted ($140,000 est.), however the .31 mile trail section is to follow the Beryl Strom Drain project, however, bids were opened recently for said storm drain and will be rejected due to funding. There will be a re - budget the storm drain for FY 200712008 or 200812009, depending on available funding. Therefore, a re -budget of the Trail Project for FY 2009/2010 would follow. FY 2006/2007 - Proposed (replacement for the Beryl St Trail) Archibald Avenue, Banyan north to Wilson - Trail on the west side. This is a .48 long continuous section of Trail which is relatively free of barriers and is lacking DG and fencing. FY2007/2008 Banyan Street, Amethyst to Archibald - Trail on the north side A .28 mile section of Trail with two break points at the intersection of Jadeite and Malachite Avenues. It is noted this section will pass an existing CVWD Water Pump Station and Staff will inquire with the Water District the possibility of improving the existing screen fencing (chain link. with slats). FY 2008/2009 Banyan Street, Hellman to Amethyst - Trail on the south side. Note homes front on the north side of the street making the placement of the trail extremely difficult and costly. FY 2009/2010 Beryl Street, north of Banyan up to Wilson - Trail on the east side RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation needed, this is an information item only.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET rD July 12, 2006 IV. OLD BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17651 - TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 41 undeveloped acres of land into 56 single-family lots in the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), located south of Banyan Street and east of East Avenue - APN: 0225-191-012. Related File: Tree Removal Permit DRC2006-00174 SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The 41-acre site is predominantly sparse vegetation and mature Eucalyptus trees. The project site drains to the southeast. To the north, south, east, and west are vacant parcels. To the northwest is Summit Intermediate School. All properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). BACKGROUND: This tract was originally reviewed by the Trails Advisory Committee on April 12, 2006. The Committee recommended approval subject to approval of a trail fencing plan prior to any houses being approved. Subsequently, the subdivision layout has been significantly redesigned in order to accommodate potential future development to the east. Street 'A' has been shifted to the east tract boundary and it's "dogleg' eliminated in favor of a cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac lot layouts have also been modified which, when combined with the deletion of the "dogleg" in Street 'A' improves horse keeping by eliminating the problematic rear yard -to -side yard lot relationships that create challenges in complying with the 70-foot setback. �✓ ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements) on a minimum average lot size of 22,500 square feet. The average lot size proposed for the project is 25,039 square feet; hence the lot sizes are large enough for horse keeping. The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail and access for trail riders from the Local Trail to the Community Trail. This provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. The trail system is designed with local 15-foot Local Feeder Trails that connect the rear of each lot to the proposed 20-foot Community Trail that runs along Banyan Street, on the west side of proposed street, Street 'E' and on proposed Street 'F to the south. All interior, local trails will have a 6-foot high tubular steel fencing. The project has been designed to meet all of the technical requirements for trails. Where applicable, 45-degree corner cut-offs have been provided at all corners. All future corrals (24 feet by 24 feet) have been placed 70 feet or greater from future dwelling units on adjacent lots. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee review the proposed trail layout, and provide input and direction on the following issues: 1. Provide City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs at each street trail connection. The minimum dimension between the wood posts for a step -through detail is 18 inches clearance minimum between posts and maximum 14 inches above grade. Also, the spacing of the step -through posts is from the centerline of the opening in all ITEM A TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENTS SHEET TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17651—TAVA DEVELOPMENT CO. July 12, 2006 Page 2 cases. Refer to either Standard Plan Drawing #1007 — Community Trail or Standard Plan Drawing #1006-B for detail on the transition. 2. A detailed plan indicating trail widths, maximum slopes, physical conditions, fencing, and weed control, in accordance with City Master Trail drawings, shall be submitted for City Trails Coordinator review and approval prior to approval and recordation of the Final Tract Map and prior to approval of street improvement and Grading Plans. The Developer shall upgrade and construct all trails, including fencing and drainage devices, in conjunction with street improvements. a. Local Feeder Trails (i.e., private equestrian easements) shall, at a minimum, be fenced with two -rail, 4-inch PVC fence to define both sides of the easement, in accordance with City standard drawing 1010-A. However, the developer may be required to upgrade to an alternate fence material. b. Local Feeder Trail entrances shall also provide access at all street connections accept Banyan Street for service vehicles, such as veterinarians or hay deliveries, including a 12-foot minimum drive approach. The entrance shall be gated, provided that equestrian access is maintained through step-throughs. C. Local Feeder Trail grades shall not exceed 0.5 percent at the downstream end of a trail for a distance of 25 feet behind the public right-of-way line to prohibit trail debris from reaching the street. Drainage devices may be required by the Building Official. d. For single-family residential developments within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District, at least one model home shall be provided with a constructed 24-foot by 24-foot corral with appropriate fencing. 3. All trail surfacing shall be of decomposed granite with 4-inch minimum base. Remove rocks and debris and grade surface smooth. The decomposed granite shall be the complete width of the trail up to the property boundary. No gaps allowing weeds to grow shall be allowed. 4. Where trail gradient exceeds 4 percent, water bars are required and shall be reviewed and approved by the Trails Advisory Committee. 5. Trail grade percentages and construction details concerning V-gutters and swales have not been provided. Said details need to be reviewed and approved by the Trails Advisory Committee.

Related file: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17343. BACKGROUND: This application was previously reviewed by the Trail Advisory Committee on May 5, 2006. At that time several revisions/corrections were requested to be reviewed at a follow-up meeting; the applicant has responded with changes which Staff believes address all of the Committee's concerns. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The project site is located at the south side of Wilson Avenue, about 600 feet west of Haven Avenue, on an L-shaped parcel about 300 feet east to west by about 450 feet north to south. The site is vacant; it is generally characterized by a relatively large, overgrown shrubs and grasses. All of the surrounding properties are developed with single-family residences, with the exception of a parcel to the west and another to the south of the project site. The subject property and all the surrounding properties are within the Very Low (VL) Residential District. The existing topography slopes from about 1,815 feet on the north side of the site to about 1,780 feet on the south side. Frontage for Lots 1 and 2 will be on the extension of Tamarind Court, while frontage for Lots 3 and 4 will be on the extension of Cabrosa Avenue. Along the north perimeter of the project site, parallel to, and at the south side of Wilson Avenue, is a Community Trail. There is an existing, north to south Local Trail along the east perimeter that serves the subdivision to the east (Tract 16237). APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: This property is located within the Equestrian Overlay District. The purpose of the District is to provide for keeping of "equine, bovine and cleft - hoofed animals." More specifically, this District is intended "to protect the ability to maintain such animals." Further, the Development Code requires a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area in the rear yard of all residential lots within the District, with graded access from the corral area to the trail with a maximum slope of 5:1 and a minimum width of 10 feet. ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail and is designed to provide access for trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. ITEM A TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM17343 — COVEY June 14, 2006 Page 2 Access to the trail system will be provided via a Local Trail located between Lot 2 and Lots 3/4. Note that Lot 2 and 3 can access the Community Trail directly. Access to the system for Lot 1 will be via the above -noted trail and the existing Local Trail that serves Tract 16237. The Community Trail segment along Wilson Avenue on the north perimeter of the project is not complete at this time but will be constructed per City standard by the applicant as a condition of approval. As identified previously, the critical design constraint is the 70-foot corral setback. Three of the four new lots will satisfy the minimum lot width and depth requirements of 90 feet and 200 feet, respectively, applicable to this district. The fourth, Lot 1, does not meet the minimum lot depth. Although, the applicant has submitted a Variance request which staff supports, as requested by the Design Review and Trail Advisory Committees, he has revised the design of the street cul-de-sac, (Tamarind Avenue extension). Because the south side of the street is shifted northward, (i.e. it is an 'offset' cul-de-sac), the depth of Lot 1 changes from 145 feet to 165 feet (a gain of about --20 feet) which brings the lot closer to compliance with the minimum lot depth requirement and allows for a greater separation between the house and its corresponding horse corral. Another, concern was the corral Iodation on Lot 4 that was located in the middle of the backyard. This would be considered impractical, because the corral would interfere with typical improvements, such as swimming pools, spas and sport courts. The applicant has shifted its location to the southeastern corner of the lot. Note that compliance with the 70-foot buffer is maintained as the proposed house on Lot 2 was shifted northward. The applicant was also directed to work with neighboring property owners to the east, (Tract 16237), to obtain access easements to existing trails. The applicant is in the process of doing so. Additional concerns included the location of the horse corrals on Lots 2 and 3 (the applicant has shifted them closer to the trail on a pad level with the adjacent trail), the location of gates and corresponding access to the Community Trail (the applicant has relocated the gates so that access is to the Local Trail instead) and the scope of trail related improvements. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions (note some conditions have already been addressed by the applicant): 1. All trails shall have a decomposed granite surface. 2. All 'v'-ditch drains over 3-inches deep shall be located outside of the 15-foot wide equestrian easement within its own drainage easement. 3. Local trail improvements shall be designed to minimize erosion onto the public street. Where private Local Trail gradients exceed 4 percent, water bars, splash curbs, or other diversionary devices should be used. 4. Behind the sidewalks, a minimum 25-foot segment of the trail may not be steeper than 5 percent. 0 5. The two 'v'-ditches (i.e. the proposed and existing) along east side of Lot 1 seems unnecessary. The existing trail gutter on Tract 16237 can handle minor slopes. A2 T 0 TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM17343 — COVEY June 14, 2006 Page 3 6. Re -locate the proposed corral locations for Lots 2 and 3 onto pads that are level with the existing Community Trail. 7. No private vehicles will be allowed on the Community Trail. Provide access from the corral pad on Lot 2 to the private Local Trail along the west side. Typically, the property line between Lots 2, 3, and 4 should be in the center of the Local Trail, with trail drainage facilities in a separate drainage easement on Lot 2. 8. If direct pedestrian -only access to the Community Trail from Lot 2 is also desired, provide a gate per City Standard Drawing No. 1008. 9. At all intersections of the proposed Local Trails with the Community Trail and/or the street incorporate access, improvements such as 'step-throughs', gates, and posts that are designed in accordance with City Standards. 10. Any required PCC drive approaches and catch basins shall be sandblasted to achieve a surface finish similar to a "medium broom finish." 11. Trail fencing shall not encroach on the driveway lines -of -sight. Staff Planner: Mike Smith, Assistant Planner Attachment: A3 TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET May 10, 2006 II. NEW BUSINESS A.

The critical design constraint is the 70400t corral setback. Three of the four new lots will satisfy the minimum lot width and depth requirements of 90 feet and 200 feet, respectively, applicable to this district. The fourth, Lot 1, does not meet the minimum lot depth. The applicant has submitted a Variance request which staff supports; however, the Design Review Committee recommended that applicant explore using an off -set cul-de-sac design to gain additional lot depth. Based on staff's review, there is a horse corral at 5751 Cabrosa Avenue, a property located to the west of Lot 1. The properties immediately to the east of Lots 1 and 2 were not observed to have horse corrals: However, each of these neighboring lots has an approved horse corral area (it is from this area that the applicant measured the 70-foot buffer). At this time, the house product has not been submitted for review. However, the applicant is aware of the minimum 70-foot separation that ,is required between any horse corrals he proposes on his lots and dwellings on adjacent properties (and vice versa). This is a critical design constraint because of the layout of the project and physical relationship to the surrounding, existing lots. With the proposed corral within the rear yards and the alignment of the proposed adjoining trail, development of Lots 3 and 4 significantly limits the plotting of the future home on Lot 2. Furthermore, the corral location on Lot 4 is impractical in the middle of the backyard because it would interfere with typical improvements, such as swimming pools, spas, and sport courts. This is exactly the type of problem the Alta Loma Riding Club brought to the . City's attention several years ago that resulted in increasing lot* depth to 200 feet and rear yard setback to 60 feet. The attached Exhibit A shows where the corral should be located on Parcel 4 (adjoining the trail) and demonstrates how it will impact the house footprint on Parcel 2. The applicant was informed of these issues. At the May 2,` 2006, Design Review Committee, the applicant provided conceptual footprints/floor plans for Lots 1, 2, and 4 in order to show a home located on these lots while providing the required corral and respecting the required 70-foot buffer separation. The Committee did not accept their solution and directed them to eliminate Lot 2 or redesign the subdivision accordingly. Note that all three Committees (Grading, Technical, and Design) did not approve the project. Staff has verified that all corral pads are either 24 feet by 24 feet or 12' feet by 48 feet in order to meet the dimensional and area requirements of corrals, as shown in the attached exhibit. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends deletion of Parcel 2 and . the following conditions: 1. All trails shall have a decomposed granite surface. 2. All 'v'-ditch drains over 3-inches deep shall be located outside of the .15-foot wide equestrian easement within its own drainage easement.

It was possible to achieve a conceptual floor plan (in a 5 hour study) of 4,232 sq', submitted an example 5-18-0 virtually a full year ago and staff now recommends the complete deletion ofparcel 2? (I spent one hour yesterday augmenting it to 4,732 SQ' plus a 3 car garage and added a pool -per the display board). Is there an ordinance requiring construction drawings prior to a custom lot approval? B. I have prepared a colored site map showing lot 2 has a potential of 6,216 SQ' conditioned space, plus the garage. LOT 4: C. The corral on lot 4 per Mayers and Associates drawing did not show that the corral can be even 5' further east: Per the example board the corral is 140'4" from Cabrosa curb. and 45'-l" from the near trail wall and 70' from the lot 2 -10' required sideyard This is not "in the middle of parcel 4 ". The comment that the corral location was disguised is not appreciated' It is a scaled drawing. Three possible floor plans are shown for lot 4 without any difficulty. D. I attached a copy of the Stonebridge had to the east which caused this setback corral issue. The extension of Cabross has been shown on maps since (if not prior to) the earlyl980's and was ignored during the Stonebridge approval process, not only affecting the 70' setback issue but the entire street configuration. E. None of the 8 approved Stonebridge lots were required to push the corrals against the property lines as you are indicating in your report. The corral on lot 4 in Stonebridge was approved with the corral at approximately 143' from their PI and 73' from the rear. Every effort has been taken to create a viable project and correct the poor transition to Tamarind The omitting of one whole parcel, especially after over a year of process, has serious financial repercussions. We are confident an appealing floor plan can be achieved on parcel number 2. I do not know of a Southern California City which allows random construction without reviews, compromises and the entire submittal scrutiny. ►% 't� 1 S6 n.�ie�� '- is �� R ®� j�a'•Ce: y='—`'^ 2, H A g h!'iAz _ • JA • 1i'..i 1 � .y�•y Y:J ::L: � tP7 Y i t r ''��' t i t y r T ne 'td'yTITT•w+. );1.. if �..^f.: 1, �v 1 +y� a r'r `1 d`''�' 9.wh '^ t �,, -� }Yr•}J `r L c, .

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET April 12, 2006 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17651 — TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 41 acres of land into 57 single-family lots in the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), located south of Banyan Street and east of East Avenue - APN: 225-191-12. Related Files: Tree Removal Permit DRC2006-00174. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The 41-acre site is predominantly sparse vegetation and mature Eucalyptus trees. The project site drains to the southeast. To the north, south, east, and west are vacant parcels. To the northwest is Summit Intermediate School. All properties to the north, south, east, and west are zoned Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements) on a minimum average lot size of 22,500 square feet. The average lot size proposed for the project is 25,039 square feet; hence, lot sizes are large enough for horse keeping. The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail and access for trail riders from the local trail to the Community Trail. This ® provides a convenient path of travel for short local trail rides. The trail system is designed with local 15-foot local feeder trails that connect the rear of each lot to the proposed 20-foot Community Trail that runs along Banyan Street, on the west side of proposed street "E Street', and on proposed "F Street" to the south. All interior local trails will have a 6-foot high tubular steel fencing. The project has been designed to meet all of the technical requirements for trails. Where applicable, 45-degree corner cut-offs have been provided at all corners. All future corrals (24' by 24') have been placed 70 feet or greater from future dwelling units on adjacent lots. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee review the proposed trail layout and provide input and direction on the following issues: 1. Provide City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs at each street trail connection. The minimum dimension between the wood posts for a step -through detail is 18 inches clear minimum between posts and maximum 14 inches above grade. Also, the spacing of the step -through posts is from the centerline of the opening in all cases. Refer to either Standard Plan Drawing No. 1007 — Community Trail or Standard Plan Drawing No. 1006-B for detail on the transition. 2. A detailed plan indicating trail widths, maximum slopes, physical conditions, fencing, and weed control, in accordance with City Master Trail drawings, shall be submitted for City Trails Coordinator review and approval prior to approval and recordation of the Final Tract Map and prior to approval of Street Improvements and Grading Plans. The developer shall upgrade ITEM A TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENTS SHEET TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17651 April 12, 2006 Page 2 and construct all trails, including fencing and drainage devices, in conjunction with street improvements. a. Local Feeder Trails (i.e., private equestrian easements) shall, at a minimum, be fenced with two -rail, 4-inch PVC fence to define both sides of the easement; in accordance with City Standard Drawing No. 1010-A; however, the developer may be required to upgrade to an alternate fence material. b. Local Feeder Trail entrances shall also provide access at all street connections except Banyan Street for service vehicles, such as veterinarians or hay deliveries, including a 12-foot minimum drive approach. Entrance shall be gated provided that equestrian access is maintained through step-throughs. C. Local Feeder Trail grades shall not exceed 0.5 percent at the downstream end of a trail for a distance of 25 feet behind the public right-of-way line to prohibit trail debris from reaching the street. Drainage devices may be required by the Building Official d. For single family residential development within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay District, at least one model home shall be provided with a constructed 24-foot by 24-foot corral with appropriate fencing. 3. All trail surfacing shall be of decomposed granite with 4 inch minimum base. Remove rocks and debris and grade surface smooth. The decomposed granite shall be the complete width of the trail up to the property boundary. No gaps allowing weeds to grow shall be allowed. 4. Where trail gradient exceeds 4 percent, water bars are required and shall be reviewed and approved by the Trails Advisory Committee. (al 5. Trail grade percentages and construction details concerning v-gutters and swales have not been provided. Said details need to be reviewed and approved by the Trails Advisory Committee.

The Alta Loma Riding Club (ALRC) has proposed eight Community Hiking and Riding Trail projects to be given funding priority, which are contained in the attached letter dated January 19, 2006. This year the City completed the Banyan Trails Improvements from Sapphire Street west to the end of Banyan Street. The ALRC list has been slightly modified in regards to technical descriptions (see italics) and is listed as follows with accompanying distance of the segmented noted (a map is attached for reference). 1. Beryl Street, North of Banyan Street, up to Wilson Avenue (approximately 1,650.81 feet) - This trail section is on the east side of Beryl Street, at Banyan Street, extending north connecting with the completed trails in the Concordia Development of homes directly south of Wilson Avenue. Reasons for this recommendation are safety and the completion of the Beryl Avenue improvements. 2. Sapphire Street (west side) from Jennet Street, continuing north to Hillside Road (approximately 1,642.01 feet,) and a short section from Whirlaway Street to La Senda Road (approximately 1,232.27 feet) - This is another high -use area. Staff Kn PARK AND RECREATION STAFF REPORT TRAIL PRIORITIES ANNUAL REVIEW February 16, 2006 Page 2 notes that the first three homes north of Jennet Street have a trail but no PVC trail 0 fence and inadequate water diverters, which have created ongoing maintenance and responsibility confusion for the first 300 feet of this section. This trail very unsafe and has a high -risk factor as riders are forced to ride on the concrete sidewalk or in the street. Either way, they risk slipping and/or falling. We also note that bike lanes have been added on Sapphire Street, between Jannet Street and Hillside Road, which poses another risk to those riding in the street. 3.. Banyan Road between Carnelian Street and Archibald Avenue (approximately 2,430.13 feet) — This incomplete trail runs on the north side of Banyan Street. At present, it is unimproved and leaving riders to ride in the street with traffic. This is a significant risk because of the amount and speed traffic in this area and the potential for horses to slip on the pavement. A continuing concern is that a delay in making this particular improvement may increase the problems of future implementation because of changes made by homeowners within the trail easement. We would note that this area is subject to more homeowner improvements as the trail easement is at the front of the properties. If delays are expected, we would recommend that lesser funding be use to educate/remind the residents that the easement exists in order to deter further homeowner improvements, and, hopefully, to lessen the future cost of trail improvements for this area. 4. Archibald Avenue (west side) from Hidden Farm Road to the trail north of Norbrook Drive (approximately 957.28 feet) — The ALRC reference to the section of trail south of Norbrook Drive to Hillside Avenue was deleted since the Toll Brothers Development is responsible for installing this section in the near future. The street is quite steep in this area which increases the chances of horses slipping; horses currently have to ride in the street at these locations. 5. Archibald Avenue (east and west sides) from Wilson Avenue south to Banyan Street (approximately 5,105.15 feet) — Safety is a concern for this area because of the highly speed of traffic on Archibald Avenue. PVC fencing would help to keep horses on the trail and out of the street and also provide a significant beautification to this high traveled section of Archibald Avenue. 6. Almond Street (south side) from Sapphire Street to Carnelian Street (approximately 2,651.61 feet) — This area may be fairly easy to improve as the area is somewhat clean, except for the locations where two major drainage structures are located, and the right-of-way is not currently available across the Kings Ranch property. PVC fencing would benefit the safety of the trail and beautify it as well. 7. Wilson Avenue (south side) from Hellman Avenue to the Alta Loma Channel (approximately 3,739.63 feet) - This area is somewhat of a safety concern for two reasons. First, traffic travels at a fast pace here. Second, the street is fairly narrow; therefore, horses are quite close to the traffic when on the trail area. Third, Omni Trans recently commenced bus service on this street. PVC fencing would improve the safety factor by providing a barrier between the horses and the traffic. Mm PARK AND RECREATION STAFF REPORT TRAIL PRIORITIES ANNUAL REVIEW February 16, 2006 Page 3 8. Carnelian Street (west side) from Wilson Avenue to Banyan Street (approximately 1,991.13 feet) — Traffic travels quite fast on this street; therefore, improving it would increase the trail safety greatly. Staff concurs that all these locations would provide important linkages by "filling gaps" in the existing trail network. The Trails Advisory Committee will meet on March 8, 2006, to consider the Park and Recreation and Commission recommendations for forwarding to the Planning Commission on March 22, 2006, and then subsequently to the City Council as a part of the City Engineer's budget recommendations. FUNDING Trail projects are funded as Capital Improvement projects. The City Engineer has indicated that he will recommend the number one priority as listed (see attached copy of the e-mail dated February 1, 2006). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed priorities. The recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission will be forwarded to the Trails Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council.

Box 116 Alta Loma, CA 91701 It is once again time for our annual submittal for trail improvement requests. We are happy to note that our old list had gotten small due to the completion of several improvements in recent years. We were made aware of an old map plan for riding loops done years ago by the Planning Department. This map gave us good insight for areas that could be added to our list. Please note the first three listings are old requests that have been on the list for five or more years. The subsequent listings are new. 1. Beryl St., North of Banyan, up to Wilson — This trail starts on the east side of Beryl, at Banyan, crosses Beryl, at the South Side of Manzanita, to a concrete sidewalk with a storm drain. It then crosses Manzanita and proceeds up the west side of Beryl, connecting with the completed trails in the Concordia Development of homes. We have identified this as our first priority due to the extreme safety and risk factors at this location. The portion on the east side of Beryl, starting at Banyan is slightly elevated and has a retaining wall, of one to two feet in height, next to the street. Horses are often spooked by dogs and activities in the yards adjacent to this trail. This poses an extreme risk to the riders, horses and oncoming traffic. Removal of rocks and the addition of decomposed granite would also increase the safety of the footing in both of these areas. In addition, the double crossing at Manzanita and Beryl poses additional risk.* 2. Sapphire, from 5708 Sapphire continuing north to Hillside, and a short section from Whirlaway to La Senda — This trail near Jennet runs on the west side of the street, It is another high use area. This trail area is very unsafe and has a high risk factor as riders are forced to ride on the concrete sidewalk or in the street. Either way, they risk slipping and/or falling. We also note that bike lanes have been added on Sapphire, between Jennet and Hillside, which poses another risk to those riding in the street.

Larry Henderson AICP, Principal Planner/Trails Coordinator SUBJECT TRAILS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ANNUAL 2003-2004 BUDGET REVIEW BACKGROUND: The City's Trail Implementation Plan, adopted in 1991, set forth Trail improvement priorities and called for annual review through the budget process. In 2002, the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the Alta Loma Riding Club's top three Community Trail projects. The top priority for 2002-2003 was identified as Beryl Street, from Hillside Road to Almond Street. This section is currently under design by the Engineering Department staff, with completion expected by June 30, 2003. At the Trails Advisory Committee meeting on February 12, 2003, the Alta Loma Riding Club presented a letter, which supports the previous three trail improvement locations and adds two more for consideration.. The Trails Advisory Committee recommends adding these two additional locations and this report has been adjusted accordingly. A. Trail Priorities: The City's Trails Implementation Plan adopted in 1991 sets forth trail improvement priorities which are to be reviewed each year to adjust priority based upon urgency, availability of funding, and revised cost estimates. Last year, the Alta Loma Riding Club proposed four riding trail projects be given funding priority. None of trail improvements were funded (see Section B. Funding). The Alta Loma Riding Club has submitted an updated list of recommended priorities (see Exhibit "A' dated February 12, 2003). The Trail locations have not changed significantly, the top priority for 2002-2003 was identified as Beryl Street, from Hillside Road to Almond Street. This section is currently under design by the Engineering Department staff, with completion expected by June 30, 2003. The Trails Advisory Committee recommendation for 2003-2004 annual review established the following projects receive funding priority: 1. Beryl Street — from Hillside Road to Almond Street; EXHIBIT D ITEM M PLANN.ING_COMMISSION STAFF REPORT -- TRAILS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BUDGET REVIEW February 26, 2003 Page 2 2. Sapphire Street - from 5708 Sapphire Street north to Hillside Road, and a short section starting just south of Whirlaway Court to just north of La Senda Drive; 3. Banyan Street — from Camelian Street to Archibald Avenue; 4. Beryl Street — from Banyan Street north to Wilson Avenue; and 5. Banyan Street from Sapphire Street west to the dead end (future Cucamonga Regional Trail Connection). The approved priorities from last year (1-3) still appear relevant since these Trail projects would provide important linkages by "filling gaps" in the existing Trail system. The additional locations (") are also important and should be considered from a longer term planning perspective. The Park and Recreation Commission considered he minutes Rem at their not meeting b en February 20, 2003. As of the writing of this report, t therefore, a verbal update of the Commission's recommendations will be provided at your meeting.. Your recommendations, along with those of the Park and Recreation Commission and the Trails Advisory Committee, lhare funded as Capitae forwarded to the l improvement ity Council in April as part of the budget process projects Projects. The Engineering Department has indicated it would be premature to identify funding sources at this time since the budget process is used to determine appropriate sources mmends approval of the RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the TraitsfAdvisory Planning Commission will be forwa ded o the proposed priorities.

The plans are completed and address all the changes we had requested. They are ready to pull permits as soon as we sign the plans and get them to Larry Henderson who is waiting for our approval. The target start date is June 1 st with the length of the project estimated to be 40 -60 days long. The two initial construction areas will be the new sections on the East and West sides. Both areas will be blocked off with construction fencing and will be rotated as they move to other areas of the center. Working closely with Edison, they are installing a new main panel at the pavilion bathroom and saw cutting on an expansion joint in the concrete to put all new home -runs up to each building (both new and existing.) They will be replacing the lighting in the existing buildings and providing other electrical upgrades as needed. If we can get the plans signed quickly then I can deliver them to Larry Henderson in the next day or two, and if he can expedite them through the planning and permit departments, they are actually ready start sooner, of course these are a lot of "ifs"! For now, could you please find out who is available to sign the plans and how many signatures we need so that I can move forward? Also, could you find out if Jeff Bowlick would be willing to be on call to answer questions from the contractor if I am ever not reachable? He will be brought up to speed as a committee member anyway and I think it would be helpful to have a board liaison on hand. If he isn't interested please see if anyone else would be willing to keep up with the changes as the project proceeds so that it is not all resting on my shoulders. Now for the interesting news: The cost of the project is estimated to be around $500,000.00! The completion of Etiwanda Estates Equestrian Center is going to do amazing things to our property values. However, given the mass hysteria created the last time improvements were made to the facility I think it is imperative that the board send out a newsletter explaining that the construction in the center will be done by Centex at their cost and emphasizing the positive affect it will have on our neighborhood. I will coordinate with Shannon to call a committee meeting to let the horse owners know exactly what Centex is going to be doing, what they expect of us and how each phase of the project will impact our activities around the facility. Centex is aware of the annual sand replenishing and bull -pen improvements on June 6th and said, it will not conflict with where they will be at that time. Please let me know right away if there are any other conflicts that we will need to deal with such as pavilion reservations by home owners, etc. 5/ 17/2005 Page 2 of 2 I have the plans at my house and am happy to sit down with any Board or Equestrian Committee member that my schedule permits. Please get back to me regarding signatures. Claudia Rico 5/ 17/2005 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMITTEE AGENDA TRAILS ADVISORY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2006, @ 6:00 P.M.

The proposed project is within the Very Low (VL) Residential District and will subdivide the existing lot (107,102 square feet) into 4 new lots (Lot 1-27, 693 square feet; Lot 2-26, 793 square feet; Lot 3-26, 755 square feet; and Lot 4-26, 751 square feet.). The overall property generally slopes from north to south. A row of eucalyptus trees runs along the properties southern border with the majority of trees being on the adjacent properties: ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail and is designed to provide access for trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. The two properties to the north were developed with a Local Feeder Trail running at the rear of each property. This local trail connects to the Community Trail running along the south side of Wilson ;Avenue. The applicant proposes extending this private trail to the projects south property line. The applicant also proposes providing a,7 1/2-foot wide Local Feeder -Trail directly adjacent to the projects south property line and running between Hellman Road and Cousins Place. This Local Feeder Trail will provide Community Trail access to the 4 property owners along the projects south property line. ITEM A COMMENT SHEET TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM16981 - SPIES, BRYAN & BRYAN July 13, 2005 Page 2 The applicant has filed a Variance for lot width on. each of the 4 new lots. Each lot, though, exceeds the minimum required lot depth of 200 feet by 123 feet (323 feet total). This permits the lots to easily meet the required 70-foot horse corral buffer from neighboring habitable structures. Currently, there is a horse corral on the property to the south of Lot 2 and on the property to the north of Lot 3. Staff has verified that all corral pads are 24 feet by 24 feet and meet the required corral dimensional and area requirements, as shown on the attached Conceptual Grading Plan (Item A). RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee approve the proposal as submitted subject to the following conditions: 1. Construct a 15-foot wide Local Feeder Trail at the rear of the proposed lots and extending to the existing Local Feeder Trail to the north. 2. Construct a 7 1/2-foot wide partial Local Feeder Trail adjacent to the south property line running between Hellman Road and Cousins Place. 3. The Local Feeder Trail Easements shall include the use by the property owners to the south for equestrian purposes. 4. The Trail surface shall be decomposed granite with 4-inch minimum base. Remove rocks and debris and grade surface smooth. 5. Any drainage structures shall be located outside of the Local Feeder Trail Easements.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2004-01107 - TRIMARK PACIFIC HOMES, L.P. - The design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for 23 single family lots on 17.2 acres of land in the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) in the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located on the west side of East Avenue, south of Wilson Avenue - APN 0225-122-06, 49 and 50. Related Files: Preliminary Review DRC2004-00466 and Tract Map SUBTT16113. On June 27, 2001, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16113. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The site is bounded on the east by East Avenue; to the north by the extension of Wilson Avenue for the westerly half of the project; and, to the west by vacant land. To the south are Fire Station No. 176 and a few single-family dwelling units. The project site has a final map (SUBTT16113) and has been rough graded. Tract SUBTT16113 was approved on June 27, 2001, which was prior to an amendment to the Development Code being processed requiring that all lots within to the Very Low Residential District to have a lot depth of 200 feet. Although several lots are deficient in meeting the 200-foot depth requirement, the developer has successfully plotted all corrals to meet the 70-foot radius requirement from all adjacent dwelling units. ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail, and is designed to provide access for trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. As noted above, Tract 16113 was approved prior to the requirement of 200-foot lot depths. Trimark Pacific Homes has subsequently purchased the subdivision and recorded the final map. Trimark Pacific Homes has filed for the Design Review of house product. Since several lots do not meet the current 200-foot lot depth, plotting the corrals to meet all of the technical requirements has been challenging. The proposed design does meet the 70-foot requirement for corrals and dwelling units on adjacent lots, and most lots have trail adjacent corrals. All corrals are either 24 feet by 24 feet or 12 feet by 48 feet, thus meeting the dimensional and area requirements of corrals. Where access ramps are necessary, a 10-foot wide or greater ramp with maximum 5:1 slope has been provided from the corrals to the trial. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee review the proposed trail layout, and provide input and direction on the following issues: 1. Because of the site constraints discussed above, Lot 16 has a corral plotted in the front yard. The Committee should review the proposed location in this lot and provide input if this corral locations is acceptable and will provide an adequate opportunity for the keeping of horses. ITEM A COMMENTS SHEET TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE DRC2004-01107 — TRIMARK PACIFIC HOMES May 11, 2005 Page 2 2. Because of the site constraints discussed above, Lots 5, 6, 10, and 13 have corrals that are not trail adjacent and/or require the use of access ramps to the local trails. The Committee should review the proposed locations of these corrals and provide input on whether or not these corral locations are acceptable for the keeping of horses. 3. On Lots 10 and 23, the locations of the corral will have to be adjusted in order to allow for proposed 6-foot high perimeter, spit -face walls in the front yard setback. The proposed design has walls that do not meet the setback requirements. Lot 10 requires a front yard setback of 30 feet (10 feet is proposed). Lot 23 requires a front yard setback of 30 feet (7-17 feet is proposed). Note: All setbacks are measured from the property line (right-of-way). Refer to the Landscape Plan for wall locations. 4. Provide Feeder TraiI15-foot Vehicle Gate with Side Access and City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs and side step through for horse access, at the four local trail access points on Rolling Hills Pastures Place, per City standard 1006-C. 5. Provide a 5-foot double solid gate (10-foot total width) at each access ramp to the horse corral area. 6. Install trail improvements per City Standard Drawing No. 1004 (Community Trail, Interior Applications) for the Community Trail on the west side of Lots 14, 15, 17, and 18. 7. Local Feeder Trails shall be constructed with decomposed granite with a 4-inch minimum base. All rocks and debris shall be removed and the trail surface shall be graded smooth. 8. The perimeter walls shall not be located within the Community Trail or Local Trail easements. Staff Planner: Donald Granger, Associate Planner Attachments: Full Size Set of Plans J A2 TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET May 11, 2005 NEW BUSINESS B. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM16728 - DIPONIO - A review of a proposed parcel map where one lot of 3.04 acres that is mostly in the Very Low (VL) Residential District (about 2 acres) and partially in the Flood Control (FC) District (about 0.84 acre), is divided into 3 lots, located at 9772 Hillside Road - APN: 1074-161-16 SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The site is bound on the south, east, and west by single-family residences; to the north is vacant land. Hillside Road is parallel to the project sites south property line. An 80-foot wide easement in favor of the San Bernardino Flood Control District that is fully developed with a concrete flood control channel runs generally north to south. The property is divided unevenly into two zoning districts — Very Low (VL) Residential District and Flood Control (FC) District. The Flood Control District designation only applies to the width and length of the Alta Loma Flood Control Channel and easement. The overall property is generally level. The properties to the north, south, and east are general level with the subject site. However, the properties to the west are at an elevation that is about 20 feet to 25 feet higher than the subject site. ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder. Trail and is designed to provide access for trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. Although there is a local trail parallel to the rear property lines of the properties to the west, access to it from the subject site is not physically possible (or would be very difficult) because of the elevation difference, as noted above (see attached Grading Plan and photos). Access to the trail system will be provided instead via direct connections to the Community Trail located on the north side of Hillside Road. Each lot will be a flag lot with frontage and, therefore, access to Hillside Road. The trail segment along Hillside Road in front of the property is not complete at this time but will be constructed per City Standard by the applicant as a condition of approval. In addition, the Alta Loma Channel Trail located on the east side of the site needs approved step throughs and signage. The three new lots will satisfy the minimum lot width and depth requirements of 90 feet and 200 feet, respectively, applicable to this district. At this time, the house product has not been submitted for review. However, the applicant is aware of the minimum 70-foot separation that is required between any horse corrals he proposes on his lots and dwellings on adjacent properties (particularly to the west). Also, future homes must be the same distance from the horse corrals on the adjacent properties. Therefore, homes and corrals will be designed accordingly. Based on staffs review, at 9840 Flying Mane, a property located to the west, there is a horse corral whose 70-foot buffer encroaches into the subject property. However, this encroachment occurs only on Lot 2 of the proposed parcel map and is, otherwise, minimal because the depth of encroachment is approximately equal to the building setback of 15 feet; it is not expected to hinder the ITEM B COMMENT SHEET TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM16728 — DIPONIO May 11, 2005 Page 2 development of that property. There are no other horse corrals within 70 feet of the subject site. Staff has verified that all corral pads are either 24 feet by 24 feet or 12 feet by 48 feet in order to meet the dimensional and area requirements of corrals, as shown in the attached exhibit. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Trails Committee approve the proposal as submitted subject to the following conditions: 1. Construct a Parkway Community Trail at the north side of Hillside Road. The trail shall join the existing trails to the east and west. Transition the alignment of the trail so that the associated fences are set behind the line -of -sight of the driveways of the new lots. 2. Provide the standard full 20-foot trail dedication, measured from the face of curb in accordance with City Standard No. 1003. 3. Where the channel box culvert restricts width, the entire 13-foot parkway shall be stabilized decomposed granite. 4. The existing PCC drive approach and catch basins shall be sandblasted to achieve a surface finish similar to a "medium broom finish". 5. All drive approaches crossing the trail shall be medium broom finished concrete. 6. Trail fencing shall not encroach on the driveway lines of sight. 7. Provide plans, San Bernardino Flood Control District Permits, and construct step through gate controls at two locations on the Alta Loma Channel Trail, which is located on the east side of the property. 8. Provide appropriate Community Trail Sign Identification at the intersection of Hillside Road and Alta Loma Channel Trail.

Imagine being able to ride a bicycle from Claremont to Rialto along a bike path separated from automobiles. Within the next few years, this dream will become a reality. The City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, joined together with surrounding cities, to develop a master plan for a multi -purpose trail that would link the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana and Rialto. The Alta Loma Riding Club was actively involved in the Master Plan process, and helped insure that it included a separate community trail for equestrians and hikers (we are the only City doing this). The purpose of the trail is to provide recreational opportunities for cyclists, pedestrians, runners and equestrians. Trail users would enjoy exercise, convenient access to public facilities and shopping, while exploring the history and culture of the area. As recently reported in the newspapers, portions of the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail have been completed in the cities of Upland and Fontana. Two short segments of the trail have also been constructed in Rancho Cucamonga along Milliken Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard in conjunction with the construction of Central Park Phase I and Day Creek Fire Station, respectively. Both of these are "re-routes" to new signalized crossings of these busy streets. Here is the latest status on Rancho Cucamonga: Grove to Base Line: The Engineering staff has applied for a grant application under the state's Bicycle Transportation Account funding to design and construct. Base Line Road to Amethyst: The Planning staff has applied for Safe Route to School funds for the Base Line Road to Amethyst reach. Amethyst to Archibald: Funded with $272,000 in state's Bicycle Transportation Account money and local matching funds. Anticipate advertising for construction bids in May 2005 and completing construction in September 2005. Page 2 April 27, 2005 PACIFIC ELECTRIC INLAND EMPIRE TRAIL STATUS • Archibald to Haven: In April 2005, the SANBAG Board approved $954,900 in Transportation Development Act Funds (Article 3) for Rancho Cucamonga. It is estimated that this segment could be completed within 12 months. • Haven to 1,200 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue: Funded with $3.7 million federal STE grant money and local matching funds. The City's environmental consultant, LSA Associates, Inc. is working on a response to Caltrans corrections to various environmental documents to obtain the federal environmental clearance. This is a crucial step that is required before we can get our allocation of the grant funding. • The Trail Master Plan was completed and adopted by City Council on December 6, 2000. • Outdoor recreation retailer REI has expressed a strong desire to support this trail project. through their community service program of volunteers who do trail construction and maintenance. At REI's Tour de Rancho bike ride event held April 3, 2005, the staff manned a booth with information about the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail. REI is applying for $40,000 grant for this rails -to -trails project. • The Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation on October 13, 2004, approved use of their non-profit organization to become a donation collector for this important trail project. A limited supply of free black T-shirts with Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail logo are available for a $10 donation. We also have lapel logo pins for a $5 donation. Both items are available at the City Hall cashier. Donations are tax-deductible. 0 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMITTEE AGENDA TRAILS ADVISORY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2005, @ 6:00 P.M.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET February 9, 2005 II. NEW BUSINESS: A. DRC2005-00077 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA — A Trails Implementation Plan Annual (2005-2006) Budget Review of Wilson. BACKGROUND: The City's Trail Implementation Plan, adopted in 1991, set forth trail improvement priorities and called for an annual review through the budget process. In 2002, the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the Alta Loma Riding Club's (ALRC) top three Community Trail projects. The top priority for 2002-2003 was identified as Beryl Street, from Hillside Road to Almond Street. This section was completed in August 2004. The Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) should consider the ALRC comments and forwarded a recommendation for the Parks and Recreation Commission's consideration. ANALYSIS: A. Trail Priorities: The City's Trails Implementation Plan, adopted in 1991, sets forth trail improvement priorities which are to be reviewed each year to adjust priority based upon urgency, availability of funding, and revised cost estimates. In 2002, the ALRC proposed four riding trail projects to be given funding priority. None of the trail improvements were funded at that time. The TAC and Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation for the 2003-2004 annual review established the following projects to receive funding priority: Beryl Street — from Hillside Road to Almond Street (completed in 2004); 2. Sapphire Street — from 5708 Sapphire Street north to Hillside Road, and a short section starting just south of Whirlaway Court to just north of La Senda Drive (this was not scheduled because of the complicated design and construction, as the trail runs through the front yards. Further discussion should be held and a possible meeting with the property owners to hear their pros or cons.); 3. Banyan Street - from Carnelian Street to Archibald Avenue .(this was not scheduled because of the complicated design and construction, as the trail runs through the front yards. Further discussion should. be held and a possible meeting with the property owners to hear their pros or cons.); 4. Beryl Street - from Banyan Street north to Wilson Avenue; and ITEM "A" COMMENT SHEET DRC2005-000077 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA February 9, 2005 Page 2 5. Banyan Street from Sapphire Street west to the dead end (future Cucamonga Regional Trail Connection). Currently, under design and should be finished by June 30, 2005. The approved priorities from the previous years still appear to be relevant, since these trail projects would provide important linkages by "filling the gaps" in the existing trail system. After the Parks and Recreation Commission's action, recommendations will be forwarded to the Planning Commission on March 9, 2005, and then, subsequently, to the City Council in April as a part of the budget process. Trail projects are funded as Capital Improvement Projects. The Engineering Department will identify funding sources as a part of the budget process.

STAFF COMMENTS: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. 1. In lieu of the PVC trail fencing, the College would like to use intermittent low rock sitting walls. The staff is supportive of the request, since it appears to further the open feel of the College Campus and creates a safe, but more natural look to the trail.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 6:28 p.m. August 27, 2004 Brad Buller, City Planner City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Dear Mr. Buller: On August 18, 2004 Brian Hardy, Assistant Project Manager, and myself met with Larry Henderson regarding the possibility of shortening the Equestrian Trail along the south boundary of our Rancho Summit project, Tract 14759. It has just recently been brought to our attention that we had a bust in our Alta Survey originally prepared by Allard Engineering when the property was still owned by Lennar. It appears that our property line is actually 4ft shorter than what the plans show, which is the reason for the request to shorten the Equestrian Trail from the original 20ft to 16ft. Attached are two drawings that depict the Original Trail (Black & White) and the fl Proposed Trail (Color). The original plans called for 20' wide Equestrian Trail with a two rail fence along the trail boundary. Our proposed plans would give you a 10' Equestrian Trail with a 6' Landscape area and a two rail fence between the trail area and the landscape area. We believe our proposed plans will make a more pleasurable and aesthetically pleasing trail for all who use it. Thank you for your time and consideration in helping us work through this matter.

ACTION: The Committee reviewed the project and directed staff and the applicant to research several areas that present design challenges, and find solutions that meet the City's Trail Guidelines. The Committee indicated the project did not need to return to the Trails Committee if there is a timing issue, but directed staff and the applicant to consider design changes as follows: 1. The Committee indicated that a solid, decorative wall matching the proposed split -face wall adjacent to the landscape area in the Community Trails wall, located on Archibald Avenue (Lot 4), would be more appropriate and necessary for screening and privacy purposes adjacent to the Community Trail on Hillside Avenue. 2. The Committee directed staff to explore alternative trail designs for the north -south Local Feeder Trail located immediately east of Lot 1. The Committee suggested that alternative trail alignments ("S" curve), which are TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACTION AGENDA April 14, 2004 Page 2 more aligned with the natural contours, be considered by the applicant and presented to the Grading and Design Review Committees. 3. The Committee directed staff to research methods to reduce the amount of erosion that will occur in the north -south local trail immediately east of Lot 1. A possible solution, including use of water bars, is not a preferred solution. 4. The Committee directed staff and the applicant to explore ways to plot the corrals adjacent to the Local Feeder Trails. It was noted that trail -adjacent corral areas with a different configuration of 12 feet by 48 feet, instead of 24 feet by 24 feet, would be acceptable and preferable to the use of graded access ramps. 5. Where tubular steel fencing is used, the pickets shall be at a maximum of 4 inches on center, with a continuous concrete mow strip. 6. Provide Feeder Trail 20 feet to 15 feet Transition Vehicle Gate with City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs and side step through for horse access, at the two local trail access points on Tolstoy Ranch Road and Archibald Avenue, per City Standard Drawing No. 1006-B. 7.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET January 14, 2004 A. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16324 - HENDERSON CREEK PROPERTIES, LLC. - The proposed subdivision of 62.50 acres into 121 lots for single-family development, within the Very -Low (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) Residential District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, located at the northerly end of Wardman-Bullock Road. - APN: 0225-084-04, 0226-081-09 and 10, and 0226-082-29. Related Files: DRC2003-00749, DRC2003-00750, DRC2003-00751, and DRC2003-00753. Design Parameters: The proposed project will consist of the Tentative Tract Map, as well as related Development Agreement, and General Plan and Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendments from Very -Low Residential to Low Residential. The annexation area will encompass 100 acres, and the proposed subdivision includes 62.5 acres of a 90.4 acre parcel. The remaining 28 acres of the property are within Flood Control and Utility Corridor easements and are not proposed for development. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendment are both intended to modify the land use designation from Very -Low Residential (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre) to Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre). Although the gross density of the project at 1.3 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the current Very -Low Residential land use designation, the individual lot areas range from approximately 14,000 square feet to over 35,000 square feet, with an average lot area of approximately 18,000 square feet; therefore, the Low Residential land use designation is necessary to allow the proposed lot sizes. The site is situated on the Etiwanda Fan at the terminus of Wardman Bullock Road and Colonbero Road. Two parallel transmission lines form the north boundary of the project site for Southern California Edison and LADWP. The western and southern boundaries of the site area are formed by San Bernardino County Flood Control District property that is associated with Etiwanda Creek. Therefore, no development can occur along the north, south, or west boundaries of the site due to the use and ownership of the surrounding lands. The eastern site boundary is adjacent to Wardman-Bullock Road and the Brentwood Estates/Sheridan Estates project that was annexed to the City some.years ago. The proposed project will meet and/or exceed the average lot size of the Brentwood Estates project at over 18,000 square feet of average lot area. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is being prepared that will address the anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed project and all associated actions. The EIR will address the following areas of environmental impact in detail: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Noise, Public Health and Safety, Public Services, Transportation and Circulation, and Utilities/Services. STAFF COMMENTS: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Staff has worked with the applicant since submittal of the project to develop a design that addresses design and circulation issues surrounding the proposed project. Therefore comments for Committee consideration are brief. Access is provided from within this subdivision to the north, where several private property owners have homes, which lie north of the power corridors. Two means of access have been provided from both the east and west side of the site. The proposed access has been coordinated with the Trails Advisory Committee — Comment Sheet January 14, 2004 Page 2 property owners north of the site, as well as the County Planning and Engineering Land Development staff. The proposed subdivision design incorporates a row of equestrian -sized lots along the northern boundary of the project site. Access to the rear of the lots is served by the standard 15-foot private equestrian easement that extends from Colonbero Road along the north boundary to the proposed public street near the west boundary. The four lots along Street "I" are also proposed as equestrian - sized lots. The following issues will be the focus of Trails Advisory Committee discussion regarding this project: Within the equestrian -sized lots, the site should be graded in a manner that would allow a horse corral to be located at the same level as the proposed local equestrian trail. 2. Develop access from the local equestrian trails to the nearby Regional trails located within the power corridor north of the site, and/or the levee along Henderson Creek. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Committee review the project and provide any further comments for consideration in the completion of the project review and environmental analysis. The project will be forwarded to the Planning Commission upon completion of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Related File: Tree Removal Permit DRC2003-00308. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Banyan Avenue and Greenwood Place, and is within the Equestrian Overlay District. The project is surrounded by single-family residential development to the north, south, and west (Exhibit "A"). Immediately to the east is a vacant undeveloped parcel. The site has a slight slope from north to south with one single-family dwelling located directly on the southeast corner of Banyan Avenue and Greenwood Place. ANALYSIS: The proposed trail layout includes a Local Feeder Trail to the rear of each residential lot (Exhibit "B"). In addition, a Community Trail is proposed across the frontage of Lot 1 (the south side of Banyan Avenue). The project is located within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay; hence, is required to provide Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements), which provide access to the rear of each lot. The average lot size is 36,724 square feet and is large enough for horse keeping (Exhibit "C"). RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issue be reviewed by the Committee: Install Community Trail improvements per City Standard Drawing No. 1003 (Front -on). 2. Provide vehicle gates, with side step-thru for house access, at all trail entrances per City standard. 3. Provide a 10-foot corner cut-off, at a 45-degree angle, where trail easements intersect or change direction.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET October 8, 2003 . II. OLD BUSINESS A. TENTATIVE TRACT 16320 (SUBTT16320) — ACI GROUP - A residential subdivision of seven single-family lots on 4.9 acres in the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), located east of Hermosa Avenue, south of the intersection of Vista Grove Street at Rocky Mountain Place, and north of Woodridge Drive. APN: 1074-231-040. BACKGROUND: The Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) previously reviewed the project on May 14 and June 25, 2003. Concerns of the project raised by the TAC related to: (a) design of walls and fences, (b) assurances that the Local Trails will directly connect with the existing Community Trail which runs along the north side of Vista Grove Street; and (c) drainage that will run through the local trails. The TAC requested that the Design Review Committee review the preliminary Wall and Fence Plan and the Grading Review Committee review projected runoff through the proposed Local Trails. In addition, it was also requested that the project be brought back to the Trails Advisory Committee to ensure that the Design and Grading Review Committees accepts the project plans. Both Committees recommended approval of the project. It should be noted that the applicant has recently revised its Local Trails Plan for the project. The previous plan (Exhibit "A") included a local trail easement along the south side of Vista Grove Street; the revised plan (Exhibit "B") now eliminates this particular trail alignment. A new trail easement is proposed between Lots 4 and 5, which will run across Future Street "A", then connect with a trail easement between Lots 2 and 3 on the other side.

KURTH, M.D. City Manager THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA JAcx LAM, AICP RANCHO CUCAMONGA July.28, 2003 Mr. Brian Zupke 9393 Hillside Road Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 91737 SUBJECT: DEMENS CREEK AND CUCAMONGA CREEK CHANNEL TRAILS Dear Mr. Zupke, Thank you for your interest in the Demens Creek and Cucamonga Creek. Channel Trails. In your letter, you make some excellent suggestions for a future capital improvement project to upgrade the Demens Creek and Cucamonga Creek Channel Trails to the latest AASHTO design standards for bike trails: While this would be a worthy project, the City currently has six (6) other trail projects on the priority list, and funding to build only one of these trail projects. City staff will suggest to the City's Trails Advisory Committee that the improvement of the Demens Creek and Cucamonga Creek Channel Trails be added to the City's trail improvement priority list. It will then be up to the Trails Advisory Committee to rank this project on the City's priority list. You are welcome to attend the T rails A dvisory C ommittee m eetings s ince they a re o pen t o t he p ublic. T he T rails A dvisory Committee meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM in the Rains Room at City Hall. Also, Mr. Larry Henderson, Senior Planner and Trails. Coordinator, is available to answer your questions about issues related to the City's trails. The San Bernardino County Flood Control. District currently owns and maintains the paved road along the Demens Creek and Cucamonga Creek Channels for the use of their maintenance vehicles. They also allow the public to use their maintenance road as a community trail. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District has agreed to sweep their maintenance road once every 6 months. If you should notice an area that needs to be swept of clear of debris, please notify our City Yard at (909) 477-4100. In your letter, you requested that the spacing of bollards at all trail entrances be increased to 5 ft and the height of the bollards increased. The City has a standard for the height and spacing of bollards. The standard height of bollards is 14-inches and the standard spacing is 18 inches. The height and placement of bollards at trail entrances are shown on the attached City Standard Plans 1006-A and 1007. ( The h eight w as r ecently r educed from 18 t o 14-inches:) C ity s taff s u nderstanding o f t he reasoning for the 18-inch spacing of the bollards was to prevent 3 and 4 wheeled motorized cycles from using the trails, and that the height of the bollards was set low enough so that horses could step over the bollards without jumping or tripping. Any change to the City's Standard Plan for the height and spacing of bollards will need to be approved by the City's Trail Advisory Committee. DISCUSSION ITEM "C" 10500 Civic Center Dr. - P.O. Box 807 - Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-0807 - Tel 909-477-2700 - Fax 909-477-2849 - www.ci.rancho-cucamonga.ca.us SUBJECT: DEMENS CREEK AND CUCAMONGA CREEK CHANNEL TRAILS ` `mil`' July 28, 2003 Page 2 Some of the other concerns that you expressed in your letter are as follows: 1. Requested the installation of all -way stop control at the intersection of Carnelian Street and Wilson. Avenue. Carnelian Street is a major north/south arterial street that carriers, approximately 8,000 vehicles per day. Wilson Avenue is an east/west street that carries approximately 2,300 vehicles per day. Traffic signals and all -way stop signs may installed at ` intersections were the warrants for signals or all -way stop control are met. The warrants consist of a study of traffic volume and accident history. The results of our study for this intersection �Q indicate that a traffic signal or all -way stop control are not warranted at this time, however, we will continue to monitor this location in the future. City staff also noted that there is an existing painted crosswalk and appropriate trail.crossing warning signs at this location. �1. Requested the installation of painted crosswalks at the intersection of Sapphire Street and l •,S. Banyan Street. This intersection is currently controlled by all -way stop signs. City policy , regarding painted crosswalks is that we only install painted crosswalks at signalized �j tl" intersections, and to delineate the safe route to school for school age children. This intersection �,�qj is not used as a crossing on the safe route to school map for children. We .do not install painted crosswalks at stop signs or at trail crossings, unless they are also on the safe route to school/ map. (However, we do install trail crossing warning signs at "unprotected" trail crossings.) Studies have shown that painted crosswalks give the pedestrian a false sense of security. A painted crosswalk is highly visible to the pedestrian, and is nearly invisible from the perspective of the driver of an approaching vehicle. City staff does not recommend .the installation of painted crosswalks at. this location. 3. Requested the installation of painted bike lanes on Sapphire Street and 19th Street from the end Vt of the trail on Sapphire Street north of the I-210 Freeway to Cucamonga Creek on the south side of the freeway. This work was supposed to be done by SANBAG as a part of the I-210 Freeway construction project. City staff has sent letters, and had a meeting. with SANBAG representatives to discuss a list of unfinished items regarding the I-210 Freeway construction project. This is one of the items on the City's list. The dirt trail on the south side of the I-210 Freeway from Sapphire Street to Cucamonga Creek was intended for horses, and not for bicycles. 4. Requested the relocation of an existing "No Trespassing" sign at Beryl and Hillside. City staff will have this sign removed. 5. Identified that the bollards at the City's Equestrian Center'are too tall. City staff will shorten the existing bollards to 14 inches in height. 0 SUBJECT: DEMENS CREEK AND CUCAMONGA CREEK CHANNEL TRAILS July 28, 2003 Page 3 6. 'Requested advance warning signs at the Equestrian Center entrance driveway and at the equestrian trail crossing. City staff observed that there is an unobstructed clear line of sight, and that approaching vehicles or equestrians would be clearly visible. Therefore, advance warning signs are not needed at these locations. Clearly, a lot of work went into your study of the Demens Creek and Cucamonga Creek Channel Trails. We agree that your suggestions would greatly improve the accessibility and utility of these trails, especially for bicycle enthusiasts. However, given the reality of the City's financial constraints, we have to prioritize which trail improvement projects get constructed first. We also encourage you to continue to work with the City's Trail Advisory Committee as an advocate for the improvement of bicycle facilities within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

One of my regular rides is taking my son from our home in Alta Loma to his preschool, which is located near Euclid and 9 h in Upland. The Demens Creek & Cucamonga Creek Channel bicycle trails are ideal for this trip as they are convenient and also provide a shallower grade than nearby surface streets. From my home, I enter the trail at the corner of Hillside and Beryl and exit at Banyan and Sapphire. On the return trip, I enter the trail at Sapphire just north of the 210 freeway and exit at Hillside and Beryl. Each time I ride this section of trails, I notice how underutilized it is compared to other trail systems around the country that I've ridden This is due to several factors that make our trails both unwelcoming and unsafe to use. Below I've summarized these factors in general then I've addressed several specific trail sites, noting in detail problems that exist at each one along with recommendations to improve them In addition I suggest the city refer to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) publication, Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 3'd Edition. It is available for order at http://transportation org/aashto/home.nsfl FrontPag e . Consideration should also be taken to provide for horse usage in places deemed appropriate. General Issues • Dangerous intersections • Bollard use • Trail debris • Usage signs Dangerous Intersections One of the greatest challenges. in creating a successful and safe trail system is managing its interaction with automobile traffic. In an ideal trail this interaction is eliminated through the use of underpasses and overpasses. In situations where this is not possible, it is best for that interaction to be limited as much as possible and controlled through the use of stop signs or traffic lights. Several problems exist in our street crossings. One. is our lack of signage, both on the road and on the trail, to wam of upcoming intersections. Another is a lack of clear indications to trail users of the preferred way for them to cross the intersection and where to continue the trail on the other side. But most troubling are the intersections lacking safety precautions to govem interactions with automobiles, such as trail accessible crosswalks and in the case of the intersection at Camelian and Wilson no stopping of traffic on Carnelian to allow trail users to cross. Bollard Use Bollards are entry point barrier posts. Their intent is to limit undesirable traffic while allowing safe access to desirable traffic. According to AASHTO bollards should be clearly visible and spaced no closer than 5 feet together. This prevents the entry of cars and trucks and still allows safe access by other vehicles. Our bollards are spaced far too narrowly, at approximately 2 feet apart. While this spacing allows the passage of bicycles, many allowable vehicles have to be dismounted and physically lifted over the bollards, including wheelchairs, tricycles, and bicycles towing children in trailers, thus making the trails inaccessible or impractical for these users. Narrowly spaced bollards present difficulties for regular bicycles as well. A fact of human nature is that we like to exert as little effort as necessary, even while exercising. Bicyclists are no exception They want to stay on their bikes, moving forward as much as possible. They will therefore almost always try to ride through bollards.. Bollards too narrowly spaced present a crash hazard, especially for inexperienced riders, children in particular, . whose judgment is more optimistic than practical. Faced with narrowly spaced bollards, cyclists will also often attempt to bypass them completely, riding in the landscaping, rocks, or slippery hard - packed dirt that often edges trails. Not only are some of our ballards too closely spaced, they're also quite tall, making it difficult if not impossible for a bicycle to pass without hitting the bollards with the handle bars. It's not only frustrating to have to wrestle a bicycle through the bollards, it's a safety issue as well Nationally, most municipalities concerned with limiting entry of motorized vehicles less than 5 feet wide (motorcycles, etc.) rely on law enforcement to do so rather than introducing safety hazards to the. trail Also, most of our bollards are placed to the side of the trail path, requiring riders to make sharp turns to go through them in a perpendicular fashion. Some of the bollards are placed in the dirt beside the trail instead of in the paved trail itself Riding in the dirt can be dangerous for more inexperienced riders, as can the transition between the dirt and pavement, especially when done while making sharp turns. Trail Debris Many sections of the trail are littered with rocks, gravel and sand. These present safety hazards in several ways: • Riders can lose control by hitting a patch of sand or a large rock. • Hitting rocks can result in pinch flats, which may result in a crash. • Riders may not be paying as close attention to other hazards, primarily other users, if they are focusing on avoiding debris. Usage signs These signs direct public awareness of the existence and proper usage of trails, including what types of traffic are allowed (pedestrian, skaters, skateboard, bicycling, wheelchair, horse, etc.) and the rules of the road (stay to the right except to pass, etc.). To a large extent our signage is either non-existent or misleading. With few entry point signs identifying the trails as such, intimidating locked gates, absence of bollards, and in one case, a 4 misplaced "No Trespassing" sign, the public is more likely to assume the trails are maintenance roads than available for public access (see Figure 1). Specific Trail Sites The following section lists problem trail sites along with specific recommendations for improvement. They are listed in the order encountered when entering the trail at Beryl and Hillside and proceeding southward Beryl and Hillside Usage Signs The first thing encountered at the trail entrance is an intimidating "No Trespassing" sign (see Figure 1). The sign may be intended for the flood control channel, but it being posted at the trail entrance instead of on the channel fence makes this unclear. Figure 1- No Trespassing Sign is uninviting This sign alone probably prevents many people from using the trail. There is a "Welcome" sign further down the trail, but potential users may never see it because they obey the "No Trespassing" sign and don't enter the trail k Recommendations: • Remove the "No Trespassing" sign or place it on the fence blocking the flood control channel. • Move the "Welcome" sign to the current location of the. No Trespassing sign. This will make it more evident that a trail exists and is available for use. Awkward Entrance A locked gate blocks the path entrance (see Figure 2). To enter the trail users must ride onto the dirt through narrowly spaced bollards and then back onto the path. Figure 2 - Paved path blocked and access on dirt Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired. • Or increase spacing between bollards to 5 feet and pave access to. path. Equestrian Center VehkIe Entrance Awkward Bollard Use Right after passing the bollards at the trail entrance, the rider must go through two more sets of bollards to get across the vehicle entrance to the Equestrian area (see Figure 3). These bollards are narrowly E spaced and quite tall, making it difficult if not impossible to get through without hitting the bollards with bicycle handlebars. Figure 3 - Equestrian Center Vehicle Entrance Many users bypass the bollards by riding through the landscaping on the south side, as evidenced by the eroded landscaping (see Figure 4). Figure 4 - Users bypass bollards Going through three sets of bollards on a short section of trail is a lot of work for little gain. Riders are more likely to ride on the sidewalk perpendicular to the -trail on the southwest comer of the trail/equestrian center entrance, across traffic entering the park and then again across traffic on Beryl (see Figure 5). Since Beryl is fairly steep, riders are inclined to gather speed in the entrance and "fly" across the street to get up the hill, ignoring the Stop sign at the park entrance. This alternative path is less hassle than going through the three sets of bollards, but endangers pedestrians using the sidewalk as well as the rider crossing four lanes of traffic without stopping. Figure 5 - Bollard avoidance detour. Recommendations: • Increase the bollard spacing to a minimum of 5 feet. Lack of Approaching Intersection Warning There are no signs warning ofpossble vehicular traffic on the Equestrian center entrance. Even though visibility is fairly high (Le., riders can see cars approaching if they are looking), riders should be warned of the possibility. Recommendations: • Add signs on the trail that warn of vehicular traffic to the trail north and south of the Equestrian center entrance. Equestrian Trail Crossing Awkward Bollard Use A set of tall, narrowly spaced bollards are encountered after passing the park where the Equestrian trail crosses the. bicycle trail (see Figure 6). A fence prevents riding around the bollards on 6 one side, but the other is edged by a curb and downward sloping embankment. Riders are likely to attempt to ride between the end bollard and the curb, as this lessens the likelihood of hitting the handlebars on the bollards. The narrow spacing between the curb and end bollard, however, increases the likelihood of wheels or pedals hitting the curb and the rider taking a tumble down the embankment. Figure 6 - Equestrian crossing Recommendations: • Increase .the bollard spacing to a minimum of 5 feet. Lack of Approaching Intersection Warning There are no signs warning of the Equestrian crossing. While riders can easily see if horses are nearby, they should be warned of the possibility. Recommendations: • Add signs warning of equestrian traffic on the trail north and south of the equestrian crossing. Between Beryl and Carnelian Trail Debris Gravel and sand covers the trail on various portions of the stretch between Beryl and Carnelian (see Figure 7). Figure 7 - Gravel and sand on pavement a serious hazard Recommendations: • Periodically sweep pavement to remove rocks and sand. East Entrance at Carnelian Awkward Entrance The trail entrance at Carnelian has closely -spaced bollards (see Figure 8). Figure 8 - East entrance at Carnelian This entrance does have an alternate entrance with greater spacing, but riders must cross dirt and rocks to reach it (see Figure 9 and Figure 10). This is 7 dangerous in and of itself but it also results in rocks being kicked up onto the pavement. Figure 9 - Detour requires riding in dirt & rocks Figure 10 - Detour entrance at Carnelian The bollard entrance is compounded by the fact that these bollards are off to the side with the paved. access to them being rather short (see Figure 8 and Figure 11). Riders have very little room to turn torward the bollards and then straighten out to pass through them, only to have to turn sharply to get back to the main path. This is even more difficult with longer bicycles, such as tandems. Figure 11- Severely restricted access through bollards Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired. • Or increase spacing between bollards to 5 feet and increase length of paved access from bollards to path. Carnelian And Wilson Crossing The trail intersects the Carnelian and Wilson intersection (see Figure 12). Figure 12 - Carnelian & Wilson crossing (today) 8 Dangerous Street Crossings This is by far the most dangerous street crossing on the trail. There are no stop signs on Carnelian, which is a very busy, high-speed street. While there is a crosswalk on the north side of Wilson, it does not support trail traffic effectively due to its placement, especially for northbound traffic on the trail (see Figure 13 and Figure 14). Use of the crosswalk at all can be hazardous, as it is not protected by stop signs. Figure 13 - Single crosswalk across Carnelian Figure 14 - West entrance at Carnelian Southbound trail traffic comes out of the trail on Wilson. Advanced riders merge with traffic on Wilson for a left-hand turn onto Carnelian. Less experienced riders proceed along Wilson to Carnelian on the right side of the road and can use the crosswalk to cross the street, then head south on Carnelian to the west trail entrance on the right. Northbound trail traffic does not have it so easy. The west entrance to the trail empties onto Carnelian south of Wilson. The east entrance to the trail is on the north side of Wilson. The crosswalk across Carnelian is on the north side of Wilson (see Figure 15). This means riders must do one of two things: One: Cross Carnelian where there is no crosswalk, then turn right on Wilson and then cross Wilson to get to the east entrance. Two: ride (or walk) against traffic on Carnelian to get to the crosswalk, and then ride against traffic on Wilson to get to the trail entrance. Figure 15 - No bike path to reach crosswalk for northbound traffic There is no bike path or sidewalk on the west side of Carnelian, so riders need to ride or walk on the busy street. Although there is a walking path through the bushes, this path is not suitable for riding or even walking bicycles (see Figure 16). 9 Figure 16 - Walkway to.crosswalk not suitable for bicycles Recommendations: • Slow traffic down on Carnelian by using either Stop signs (making it a 3-way stop) or using a pedestrian light that can be triggered by trail users in both directions (see Figure 17). • Provide access to marked crosswalks without. requiring trail traffic to walk or ride on the. wrong side of the road, either by adding a crosswalk on Carnelian south of Wilson and a crosswalk across Wilson, or extending the paved trail along Carnelian and Wilson to reach the existing crosswalk (see Figure 17). • Improve signage on road indicating trail crossing. Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired. Or e increase spacing between bollards to 5 feet and iNm TmH pave access to path. Wilson East Entrance at Sapphire and Banyan Awkward Entrance The east entrance at Sapphire and Banyan (see 4* J� Figure 19) has narrowly spaced bollards adjacent to a locked gate. The paved access on either side of the bollards is also too short, especially for longer bikes such as tandems. Figure 17 - Recommended changes to crossing at Carnelian and Wilson West Entrance at Carnelian Awkward Entrance The west entrance at Carnelian is much hike the other entrances: a locked gate blocking the trail edged by narrowly spaced bollards on dirt and gravel (see Figure 18). Figure 18 — West entrance at Carnelian 10 Figure 19 - East entrance at Sapphire There is also a detour entrance but it requires riders to cross dirt and rocks (see Figure 20). This again can be hazardous and causes more rocks and sand to be kicked up on the paved trail. Figure 20 - Detour requires riding on dirt and rocks Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired. • Or increase spacing between bollards to 5 feet and increase length of paved access from bollards to path. Sapphire and Banyan Crossing The trail intersects the Sapphire and Banyan intersection (see Figure 21). Banyan Figure 2.1- Sapphire and Banyan intersection (today) Dangerous Street Crossings While this crossing is a four-way stop for automotive traffic, there are no crosswalks or signs indicating pedestrian or bicycle traffic from the trail and no signs directing trail users how to cross the street (see Figure 22, Figure 23, Figure 24, and Figure 25). The lack of crosswalks endangers pedestrians and riders and makes their presence less visible to automotive traffic, a particularly troubling situation given that the trail crossing necessitates more awareness by automotive drivers than other nearby intersections that routinely have few pedestrians or cyclists. 11 Figure 22 - No crosswalk on Sapphire north of Banyan Figure 23 - No crosswalks on Banyan at Sapphire Recommendations: 12 Figure 27 - West entrance at Sapphire Figure 28 - Bollard access on incline with gravel Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired. • Or increase spacing between bollards to 5 feet and increase length of paved access from bollards to path West of Sapphire Trail Debris The trail has significant amounts of gravel and sand strewn across the path in numerous locations (see Figure 29 and Figure 30). Figure 29 - Gravel & sand west of Sapphire Figure 30 - More gravel and sand west of Sapphire. In some places, the debris is clearly due to poor drainage during wet weather (see Figure 31 and Figure 32). Figure 31- More gravel and send near picnic area In several places, there is enough sand built up on the path to cause some inexperienced riders to lose control (see Figure 33). Figure 33 -Significant gravel and sand north of 210 freeway Recommendations: • Periodically clear debris from the trail • Where possible, improve drainage to prevent runoff from spilling onto the trail Entrance on Sapphire North of 210 Awkward Bollard Use Due to the newly constructed freeway, the trail now detours back to Sapphire. This entrance has narrowly spaced bollards and they are small (both Figure 32 — More gravel and sand west of Sapphire in height and diameter) and therefore harder to see (see Figure 34). There is a greater chance of riders hitting these bollards. 14 Recommendations:. • Use taller, more visible bollards spaced at 5 feet. Hazardous Trail Transition The transition from the dirt segment of the trail to the paved trail has a lot of soft dirt and sand, making it difficult to traverse on a bicycle (see Figure 36 and Figure 35). Figure 36 - Thick dirt and sand connecting to paved trail south of 210 freeway Figure 34 - Less -visible Bollards on Sapphire north of 210 freeway Recommendations: • Increase bollard spacing to 5 feet and make them more visible. Entrance on Sapphire South of 210 Awkward Bollard Use The entrance to the trail on Sapphire south of the 210 has small, narrowly spaced bollards, and is not paved (see Figure 35). Equestrian and bicycle users must share this section of trail, unless it is not intended to accommodate bicycles. Recommendations: • Make this transition safer for bicycles by improving the grade where it connects to the trail, or by extending the pavement up the hill. • Alternatively add necessary markings and improvements to route bicycle traffic south on. Sapphire, then west on 19 street and then back onto the trail and then the reverse for northbound traffic (see Figure 38). This alternative is less desirable than using the trail as it requires riders to ride on a busier street (19a'), go through several stoplights, and cross. in the middle of Sapphire (northbound riders). 210 Freeway Trell Figure 39 - More rocks and sand south of 210 freeway A significant amount of sand. deposits have been dropped in the tunnel under 19a' street (see Figure g 40). These are especially dangerous, as the tunnel a has no artificial lighting so debris is difficult to see. & N Im m ♦ i 191h Figure 38 - Alternative routing around 210 freeway Trail Between 210 and Baseline. Trail Debris Several segments of the trail between the 210 freeway and Baseline are covered with rocks and sand due to rain runoff and general lack of maintenance (see Figure 39). 16 Figure 40 - Rocks and sand difficult to see due to limited lighting Several more sections south of 19o'street have gravel and sand on the path (see Figure 41 and Figure 42). Figure 41- More rocks and sand south of 19th street Figure 42 - More rocks and sand south of 19th street Recommendations: • Periodically clear trail of debris.. • Where possible, improve drainage to prevent runoff from spilling onto the trail North Entrance on Baseline Blocked Access The north entrance on Baseline is completely blocked by a locked gate and a sign stating "Designated Trail Use Only" (see Figure 43 and Figure 44). It in no way indicates that this trail i open for public use and what use that might be. Anyone who may know the trail is available to them must physically lift their bikes/vehicles over the gate or slide them underneath. This is especially unfortunate as Baseline has a Class 2 bile lane so it would otherwise make a good connection point to the trail. Figure 43 - North entrance at Baseline Rd. s Figure 44 - No ride-thru access at Baseline Recommendations: • Replace the gate with bollards spaced 5 feet. Use lockable/removable bollards to allow access to maintenance vehicles as desired • Improve signage to make it clear the trail exists and its intended usage. 17 South of Baseline Because of the poor access, I do not regularly use the trail south of 19t` street nor did I take any pictures of the trail and its entrances south of Baseline. It would be ideal if the remainder of what is documented as existing trail was cleaned, and access and signage improved, as it would be a highly desirable alternative to riding. on Vineyard. Conclusion While it would be best for the city to implement all the recommendations identified here, I realize current resources may not immediately allow it. I therefore suggest the following. The hazardous crossings at Carnelian & Wilson and Sapphire & Banyan should be addressed as soon as fiscally possible. While they are certain to be the most costly to implement, they have the greatest impact on public safety. As far as public usage goes, a large impact can be had with relatively little effort and cost by addressing the awkward entrances. At a minimum, removing unnecessary bollards to achieve the 5 feet spacing will result in safer access to the trails as well as permitting additional users (bicycles with trailers, tricycles, wheelchairs) to access the trails. Signs indicating the trails' availability and proper usage would also provide a significant Payoff. Another vital improvement would be to clean the trails of debris. This can either be done by sending a street sweeper down the path, or by encouraging the community to participate on Trail Clean -Up Day, or by coordinating with volunteer organizations (e.g., Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.) for periodic maintenance. The recommendations made in this document are primarily based on my experiences using these and other trails in the country. Again, it is highly recommended that the city obtain AASHTO's publication Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, Yd Edition and use it as a guideline for . trail improvements and further development. 18 Lei CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 2003, @ 6:00 PM RAINS ROOM 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE ACTION AGENDA I.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET July 9, 2003 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16430 - MANNING HOMES - A residential subdivision of 23 single-family lots on 13.6 acres of land in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located at the southwest corner of Hillside Road and Archibald Avenue - APN: 1061-571-04, 08, 09, 21 and 22. Related Files: Landmark Designation DRC2003-00574, Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2003-00575, Mills Act Contract DRC2003-00576, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2002-00917. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The 13.6-acre site is on the west side of Archibald Avenue, between Hillside Road and Wilson Avenue. The site slopes southerly at approximately 8 percent. The site has three remnant Eucalyptus windrows and numerous random trees scattered throughout the property. The site is primarily vacant with the existing historic Toews Residence single-family home and barn, and empty water retention basin near Archibald Avenue and Hillside Road. The site also includes a partially developed Edison substation with block walls at the corner of Archibald Avenue and Wilson Avenue that will be demolished. The substation never became operational because equipment was never installed. The site is surrounded by existing single-family development to the east, west, and south that are zoned Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). To the north of the site is the historic landmark Demens-Tolstoy Ranch House and vacant land also zoned Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low Residential District within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements) on a minimum average lot size of 22,500 square feet. The average lot size proposed for the project is 22,570 square feet; hence, lot sizes are large enough for horse keeping. Lot depth is generally between 220 and 230 feet. The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Feeder Trail, and is designed to provide access for trail riders to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of Looping Trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc.) and provides a convenient path of travel for short Local Trail rides. The proposed subdivision has a trail system that does not have a loop design. The trail system is designed with three 15-foot Local Feeder Trails that connect the rear of each lot (in an east west layout) to the proposed 20-foot Community Trail that runs along the west side of Archibald Avenue. This design creates three trail dead ends at on the west side of the project site. There is an existing private equestrian easement (i.e., "Local Feeder Trail") to the west for a portion of the adjoining tract boundary. In addition, the applicant is proposing fencing on only one side of the Local Trails, which does not meet City standards. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issues be addressed: Provide fencing on both sides of the proposed Local Feeder Trails. Where fencing is visible to the public, it shall be made of a solid decorative masonry material. Where a view consideration is present, decorative metal with maximum 4-inch pickets with ITEM A TRAILS COMMITTEE COMMENTS SHEET SUBTT16430 —MANNING HOMES July 9, 2003 Page 2 adequate welded cross rails will be considered. The final design of all walls and their locations shall be to the satisfaction of the City Planner. 2. Relocate the perimeter wall along Wilson Avenue to the outside of the Local Trail to match existing wall conditions further west of the project site. Because Wilson Avenue is considered a Secondary/Collector, the wall will have to be setback from the street an average of 18 feet (15-foot minimum). 3. Provide a 5-foot double solid gate (10-foot total width) for each yard horse corral area and trail connection. Where concrete drains are used 4-inch by 12-inch heavy treat lumber bridging will be required. 4. Where Local Feeder Trails dead end, a turn around should be designed at the ends for proper internal circulation for service vehicles and internal trail rides. Lots 4, 5, 13, and 14 are adjacent to the existing Local Feeder Trail on Lots 6 to 10 of the adjacent Tract. By providing 15-foot cut offs on Lots 5 and 13, vehicle access for horse keeping will be enhanced for both areas. We should consider connections at Lots 4 and 5 to alleviate that dead-end. Also, what about the parcel adjacent to Lots 23 and 14; has the adjacent property owner been contacted about a slope or perhaps a half width trail (7.5 feet) on each side for a future feeder to their property? Could the trail be beneficial at least through Lot 14 to the adjacent Lot 6 of the neighboring Tract? This would provide a loop without duplicating the trails. 5. Where Peach Tree Lane is vacated, it may be necessary to dedicate a 15-foot Local Feeder Trail to provide access for existing residence on the west side of Klusman Avenue to the Community Trail. 6. City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs and vehicle gate with side step -through access, per Standard Drawing #1006-B, shall be required at all Street or Community Trail —Local Feeder Trail connections. The tentative map shall be revised with a 20-foot wide Feeder Trail at all trail entrances. 7. Lots 13 and 14 may make horse keeping impractical or impossible on Lots 6 and 7 of the existing Tract 9588 to the west because of their 120-foot depth. The 70-foot corral setback radius shown on Sheet 7 clearly indicates that very little area could be used for horse keeping. The applicant should be aware that future design and placement of the home product will have to keep in mind the 70-foot setback requirement. 8. It is unclear how drainage will affect all of the proposed Local Feeder Trails. Clarify where there will be v-gutters and/or catch basins on all trails, and how the water runoff will drain to Archibald and Wilson Avenues. The final drainage design shall be subject to Grading Committee review and approval.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET May 14, 2003 II. NEW BUSINESS B. TENTATIVE TRACT 16320 (SUBTT16320) — ACI GROUP - A residential subdivision of seven single-family lots on 4.9 acres in the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), located east of Hermosa Avenue, south of the intersection of Vista Grove Street at Rocky Mountain Place, and north of Woodridge Drive. APN: 1074-231-040. BACKGROUND: The project is within an area zoned Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), and is located within the Equestrian Overlay District. The project site is infill and is entirely surrounded by other residential subdivisions that were created by Tentative Tracts 12237, 13697, 13644, and 10414. As a result of these neighboring subdivisions, an extensive network of Community and Local Trails exist within the overall vicinity (Exhibit "C"). Those trails closest to the project site include: (1) a Community Trail along the north side of Vista Grove Street; (2) Local Trails extending off of Vista Grove in the north direction; (3) a Local Trail running in the east -west direction located immediately west of the project site; and (4) another Local Trail running in the north -south direction located along the eastern boundary of the project site. The requested SUBTT16320 now proposes to construct Local Feeder Trails that connect with these nearby Community and Local Trails. ANALYSIS: As discussed, the project site is located within the Equestrian Overlay District; therefore, the proposed subdivision must provide a Local Feeder Trail network which is accessible to the rears of each proposed lot and, optimally, should form a connecting loop on -site. The tract map shows that 12-foot wide Local Feeder Trails will be provided along the rears of Lots 2, 3, 5, and 6, and along the side of Lot 7. Lots 1 and 4 do not include on -site Local Feeder Trails; however, the lots have direct access to off -site Local Feeder Trails via Lots 2 and 5, respectively. It should be noted that the project does not provide an internal connecting loop network of Local Feeder Trails, which is preferred. As a solution, the Trails Committee may consider establishing a connecting Local Trail loop that would require additional trails at the following locations: along the south side of Vista Grove Street; the north side of Woodridge Drive; and along the rear yards of Lots 1, 4, and 7. The applicant will also be required to increase the width of their Local Feeder Trails from 12 feet to 15 feet. Other unresolved issues relate to project and trail fencing and on -site drainage improvements. In regards to project fencing, given that the lots are proposed for custom homes, the applicant has not prepared a Fence Plan for the overall project. Staff believes that allowing individual property owners to construct their own fences would result in inconsistent fence designs that could ultimately diminish the overall quality of the subdivision; therefore, staff recommends that a Fence Plan for the trails and the overall project be prepared by the applicant. The Fence Plan should then be reviewed by the Trails Committee, prior to approval of the tentative tract map. TRAILS COMMENT SHEET TT16320 — ACI GROUP May 14, 2003 Page 2 In regards to on -site drainage improvements, the plans depict a series of on -site drainage infrastructure that show that runoff would be conveyed to Woodridge Drive to the south. City Engineering has reviewed the plans and has not raised any issues regarding drainage conveyance. However, staff is concerned that conflicts between proposed drainage improvements and project and trail fencing may eventually result. Unfortunately, staff is not able to evaluate this issue at this time since the Fence Plan has not yet been prepared. Staff recommends that on -site drainage improvements be superimposed on the Fence Plan so staff and the Trails Committee can better review their issues. The Conceptual Site Plan for the project delineates potential locations for future horse corrals and also outlines the 70-foot radius restriction area that extends from each of these future horse corrals. There are no future horse corrals proposed that would be located within 70 feet of any off -site residence (Exhibit "D"). RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Committee consider the following issues: Review the proposed Local Feeder Trail network for proper internal circulation for service vehicles and internal trail rides and consider requiring the applicant to provide an internal trail network that connects and loops within the project site. 2. Require the applicant to prepare a Fence Plan for the overall project and future Local Trails. The Fence Plan shall also depict on -site drainage improvements and infrastructure. 3. Review the Conceptual Site Plan included with the Tentative Tract Map to ensure that each lot has appropriate horse corral location and building envelope for future development. 4. Require the applicant to comply with the following: a. Ensure that entrances to Local Feeder Trails are 20 feet in width and taper down to 15 feet in width. The present plans show 12-foot wide trails and must be revised accordingly. b. Provide vehicle gates with side horse access per City Engineer Standard Drawing #1006-13 at all street intersections, including curb cut. In addition, the Local Feeder Trail entrance shall be notched with 20-foot width, per said standard. C. Provide "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" sign at all trail entrances per City standard. d. Provide "Horse Crossing" sign along Vista Grove Street where project Local Feeder Trails connect with off -site trails. TRAILS COMMENT SHEET TT16320 — ACI GROUP May 14, 2003 Page 3 e.

T H E C I T Y O F RANCHO -CUCAMONGA Staff Report DATE February 26, 2003 TO: Chair and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Larry Henderson AICP, Principal Planner/Trails Coordinator SUBJECT: TRAILS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ANNUAL 2003-2004 BUDGET REVIEW BACKGROUND: The City's Trail Implementation Plan, adopted in 1991, set forth Trail improvement priorities and called for annual review through the budget process. In 2002, the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the Alta Loma Riding Club's top three Community Trail projects. The top priority for 2002-2003 was identified as Beryl Street, from Hillside Road to Almond Street. This section is currently under design by the Engineering Department staff, with completion expected by June 30, 2003. At the Trails Advisory Committee meeting on February 12, 2003, the Alta Loma Riding Club presented a letter, which supports the previous three trail improvement locations and adds two more for consideration. The Trails Advisory Committee recommends adding these two additional locations and this report has been adjusted accordingly. ANALYSIS: A. Trail Priorities: The City's Trails Implementation Plan adopted in 1991 sets forth trail improvement priorities which are to be reviewed each year to adjust priority based upon urgency, availability of funding, and revised cost estimates. Last year, the Alta Loma Riding Club proposed four riding trail projects be given funding priority. None of trail improvements were funded (see Section B. Funding). The Alta Loma Riding Club has submitted an updated list of recommended priorities (see Exhibit "A" dated February 12, 2003). The Trail locations have not changed significantly, the top priority for 2002-2003 was identified as Beryl Street, from Hillside Road to Almond Street. This section is currently under design by the Engineering Department staff, with completion expected by June 30, 2003. The Trails Advisory Committee recommendation for 2003-2004 annual review established the following projects receive funding priority: Beryl Street — from Hillside Road to Almond Street; ITEM M PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TRAILS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BUDGET REVIEW February 26, 2003 Page 2 2. Sapphire Street — from 5708 Sapphire Street north to Hillside Road, and a short section starting just south of Whirlaway Court to just north of La Senda Drive; 3. Banyan Street — from Carnelian Street to Archibald Avenue; 4. Beryl Street — from Banyan Street north to Wilson Avenue; and 5. Banyan Street from Sapphire Street west to the dead end (future Cucamonga Regional Trail Connection). The approved priorities from last year (1-3) still appear relevant since these Trail projects would provide important linkages by "filling gaps" in the existing Trail system. The additional locations (4-5) are also important and should be considered from a longer term planning perspective. The Park and Recreation Commission considered this item at their meeting on February 20, 2003. As of the writing of this report, the minutes were not available; therefore, a verbal update of the Commission's recommendations will be provided at your meeting. Your recommendations, along with those of the Park and Recreation Commission and the Trails Advisory Committee, will be forwarded to the City Council in April as part of the budget process. Trail projects are funded as Capital Improvement Projects. The Engineering Department has indicated it would be premature to identify funding sources at this time since the budget process is used to determine appropriate sources RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Trails Advisory Committee recommends approval of the proposed priorities. The recommendation of the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council. Respectfully submitted, 77� M 105�oew City Planner BB:LH:mlg Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Alta Loma Riding Club Recommendations ALTA LOMA RIDING CLUB P.O. Box 116 Alta Loma, CA 91701 February 12, 2003 City of Rancho Cucamonga ATTN: Brad Buller 10500 Civic Center Dr. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Dear Mr. Buller, The Alta Loma Riding Club has reviewed and updated our priority list for trail improvements that are greatly needed in our current trail system. The amount of use, safety factors, risk factors and the existing completed trail connections were taken into consideration in determining this list. We have attached maps for items 1-4 to assist you in identifying the locations. The following areas have been chosen as priorities: 1. Beryl St., North of Banyan, up to Wilson — This trail starts on the east side of Beryl, at Banyan, crosses Beryl, at the South Side of Manzanita, to a. concrete sidewalk with a storm drain. It then crosses Manzanita and proceeds up the west side of Beryl, connecting with the completed trails in the Concordia Development of homes. We have identified this as our first priority due to the extreme safety and risk factors at this location. The portion on the east side of Beryl, starting at Banyan is slightly elevated and has a retaining wall, of one to two feet in height, next to the street. Horses are often spooked by dogs and activities in the yards adjacent to this trail. This poses an extreme risk to the riders, horses and oncoming traffic. Removal of rocks and the addition of decomposed granite would also increase the safety of the footing in both of these areas. In addition, the double crossing at Manzanita and Beryl poses additional risk.* 2. Beryl St., North of Hillside, to Almond — This trail runs on the east side of the street. This is a highly used area due to its proximity to Heritage Park and the popularity of the trails to the north of it. The safety and aesthetics of this area would be improved greatly by widening the area near Hillside, as the trail narrows at that location. Rocks need to be removed and decomposed granite added to improve the footing. The addition of the City's standard fencing, two - rail white PVC fencing, would also greatly improve the safety of this trail by providing a barrier between horses and traffic.* * Please note that the traffic in both of these areas has increased due to the newly opened section of Wilson, to the West of Beryl. We believe that other areas such as carnelian will be impacted also and may need to be addressed at a later time. 3. Sapphire, from 5708 Sapphire continuing north to Hillside, and a short section from Whirlaway to La Senda — This trail near Jennet runs on the west side of the street, It is another high use area. This trail area is very unsafe and has a high risk factor as riders are forced to ride on the concrete sidewalk or in the street. Either way, they risk slipping and/or falling. We also note that bike lanes have been added on Sapphire, between Jennet and Hillside, which poses another risk to those riding in the street. 4. Banyan, between Carnelian and Archibald — This incomplete trail runs on the north side of Banyan. At the present, it is unimproved, leaving riders to ride in the street with traffic. This is a significant risk due to the amount and speed of traffic in this area, and the potential for horses to slip on the pavement. Another concern, is that a delay in making this particular improvement may increase the problems of future implementation due to changes made by homeowners, within the trail easement. 5. Banyan, West of Sapphire to the dead-end - The trail is on the north side of the street. This trail is relatively clean, but would be greatly improved with the addition of decomposed granite and the City's standard equestrian fencing. This would greatly increase safety due to the speed of traffic on the street, and would make a beneficial connection to trails leading to the pending improvement of the Pacific Electric Trail. We wish to note that Rancho Cucamonga has a wonderful planned network of trails that will someday traverse this beautiful city. Yet, only trails neat to areas of new construction were improved, last year. It has been brought to our attention that partial funding may have been obtained on one or more items listed in our request from last year. In anticipation of possible completion of one or more items, we have added one item to the list. Page 2 We ask that the City support these improvements by including them in the budget request cycle for the fiscal year 2003/2004. If you should have any question/s regarding our request, please feel free to contact me at (909) 945-3159. We celebrate the fact that this trail system makes our city unique and we appreciate your continued support of it! Sincerely, Cv,� v4a�v Carol Douglass Alta Loma Riding Club, City Liaison P. O.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET January 8, 2003 NEW BUSINESS: A. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND TENTATIVE TRACT SUBTT16072 - RICHLAND/WILSON - The proposed residential subdivision of 150.79 acres into 359 lots in the Low (2-4 dwelling units per acre) and Very -Low (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) Residential Districts, with an average density of 2.3 dwelling units per acre for the entire project, in the Upper Etiwanda Neighborhood of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, located at the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue. APN: 225-083-01,12,13,15,16, and 20. Related Files: Development Agreement DRC2001-00156 and Annexation DRC2002-00865. BACKGROUND: The proposed project includes the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report addressing the Tentative Map, the Development Agreement, and the Annexation. The project is adjacent to the present City boundary on the south, Wilson Avenue, and the west, Etiwanda Avenue. The preparation of the Environmental Impact Report is in process, with the screencheck for City staff review anticipated this month. The proposed project is located within the Upper Etiwanda Neighborhood of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The Red Hill Fault divides the 150.8-acre site with the area north of the Fault designated Very Low Density Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), and the area south of the Fault designated Low Density Residential 2-4 dwelling units per acre). The site is designed with an overall density of 2.38 dwelling units per acre, using a minimum lot area of 8,400 square feet across the project. The site generally slopes from north to south at approximately a six percent gradient, and currently contains an abandoned residence, several mature trees, remains of low stonewalls, and an irrigation system. The street pattern has been designed following the naturally trending terrain, utilizing a curvilinear street and maximizing the use of cul-de-sacs. Flood protection is provided by the construction of the 25th Street diversion channel (along the north property boundary), as well as two on -site interim detention basins. Surrounding land uses include existing residential development west of Etiwanda Avenue; the CCWD Lloyd W. Michael Water Treatment Plant and proposed Tentative Tract 16113 (a residential subdivision of 23 lots) are located south of Wilson Avenue; the SCE transmission line corridor (approximately 350 feet in width) is located along the northern boundary; and undeveloped land is located east of East Avenue. Tentative Tract 14749, additional residential development proposed north of the SCE corridor on 168 acres and often referred to as the Tracy Development, is currently an application with the County of San Bernardino. ANALYSIS: The Etiwanda North Specific Plan identifies a Community Trail at the following locations surrounding the project: Along Etiwanda Avenue (at the west project boundary); 2. Through the SCE Corridor (along the north project boundary); TRAILS COMMENTS SUBTT16072 — RICHLAND/WILSON January 8, 2003 Page 2 3. Along the south side of Wilson Avenue within the MWD right-of-way, and 4. Through the Fault Zone, which traverses the project site. The appropriate Community Trail segments have been incorporated in the proposed project and are the subject of the Trails Advisory Committee review, particularly for consistency with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan trail component. The proposed project includes the following trail improvements: The Community Trail will be extended along the east side of Etiwanda Avenue at the project boundary, extending northerly from the existing portion constructed by Tentative Tract 14379 (Mastercraft). 2. The project proponent intends to complete the Community Trail and meandering sidewalk on the side of Wilson Avenue within the MWD right-of-way, which extends 53 feet southerly of the Wilson Avenue Street right- of-way. 3. The Community Trail meanders through the landscaped fault zone between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue. The proposed fault zone has been incorporated into the project design in a linear park -like concept that is currently proposed to become part of a City Landscape Maintenance District. The feasibility (i.e., cost effectiveness) of this linear open space is still being analyzed by City staff. The Community Trail identified in the Specific Plan within the SCE Corridor is not a component of the proposed project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: The Community Trail segment within the fault zone shall be extended through Lot J (at the south end of Street "K") as a continuous trail. 2. Review the Community Trail alignment and off -site connections required by the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. 3. The applicant shall provide vehicle gates with side access per City Engineer Standard Drawing 1006-B at all street/Community Trail intersections, including curb cut. 4. The applicant shall provide vehicle gates at all other street intersections per City Engineering Standard Drawing 1006-C. Said connections shall, per the standard drawing, include a curb cut. 5. City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs shall be required at all trail entrances.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET September 11, 2002 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16274 (SUBTT16274) — JUSTIN DING - A residential subdivision of 7 single-family lots on 5.3 acres in the Very Low Residential District (Up to 2 dwelling units per acre) located on the northwest corner of Mayberry Avenue and Wilson Avenue. APN: 1074-261-05. BACKGROUND: Justin Ding submitted Tentative Tract 16274 in October 2001. Staff determined the application complete on August 12, 2002. The project site is located in the Very Low Density Residential zone and is adjacent to the existing Community Trail on the north side of Wilson Avenue between Mayberry Avenue and Hermosa Avenue. Development plans for homes on these lots have not been submitted. ANALYSIS: The tentative map includes the extension of the Community Trail from the corner of Mayberry Avenue and Wilson Avenue on the east side of the property to the west side of the property. None of the proposed lots will have direct access to the Community Trail from the side or rear yards. Trail riders will access the Community Trail via a series of local trails within the tract. These trails will also allow convenient access for service vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc) and will provide a convenient path of travel for short local trail rides. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: Review the local trail system for proper internal circulation for service vehicles and internal trial rides. Staff has suggested that the Local Trails be completed by adding the following components: a. The corner cut-off on Lots 2, 3, and 7 should be modified to enable easier maneuvering around the corners. (Designed for a minimum 45-foot long truck -trailer combination). 2. Review the equestrian exhibit included with the tentative tract map, to ensure that each lot has an appropriate corral location and building envelope for future development. 3. Provide vehicle gates with side access per City Engineer Standard Drawing 1006-B at all street/Community Trail intersections, including curb cut. Also, the Local Feeder Trail easement entrance shall be notched with a 20-foot width, per said standard. 4. Provide vehicle gates at all other street intersections per City Engineering Standard Drawing 1006-C. Said connections shall, per the standard drawing, include a curb cut. 5. City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs shall be required at all trail entrances. TRAILS COMMENTS SUBTT16274 — JUSTIN DING September 11, 2002 Page 2 6.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET September 11, 2002 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16274 (SUBTT16274) — JUSTIN DING - A residential subdivision of 7 single-family lots on 5.3 acres in the Very Low Residential District (Up to 2 dwelling units per acre) located on the northwest corner of Mayberry Avenue and Wilson Avenue. APN: 1074-261-05. BACKGROUND: Justin Ding submitted Tentative Tract 16274 in October 2001. Staff determined the application complete on August 12, 2002. The project site is located in the Very Low Density Residential zone and is adjacent to the existing Community Trail on the north side of Wilson Avenue between Mayberry Avenue and Hermosa Avenue. Development plans for homes on these lots have not been submitted. ANALYSIS: The tentative map includes the extension of the Community Trail from the corner of Mayberry Avenue and Wilson Avenue on the east side of the property to the west side of the property. None of the proposed lots will have direct access to the Community Trail from the side or rear yards. Trail riders will access the Community Trail via a series of local trails within the tract. These trails will also allow convenient access for service vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc) and will provide a convenient path of travel for short local trail rides. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: Review the local trail system for proper internal circulation for service vehicles and internal trial rides. Staff has suggested that the Local Trails be completed by adding the following components: a. The corner cut-off on Lots 2, 3, and 7 should be modified to enable easier maneuvering around the corners. (Designed for a minimum 45-foot long truck -trailer combination). 2. Review the equestrian exhibit included with the tentative tract map, to ensure that each lot has an appropriate corral location and building envelope for future development. 3. Provide vehicle gates with side access per City Engineer Standard Drawing 1006-B at all street/Community Trail intersections, including curb cut. Also, the Local Feeder Trail easement entrance shall be notched with a 20-foot width, per said standard. 4. Provide vehicle gates at all other street intersections per City Engineering Standard Drawing 1006-C. Said connections shall, per the standard drawing, include a curb cut. 5. City Standard "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited" signs shall be required at all trail entrances. TRAILS COMMENTS SUBTT16274 — JUSTIN DING September 11, 2002 Page 2 6. Provide PVC on outside fence and decorative block on inside fence. 7. Provide drip irrigation system to all existing Eucalyptus trees on the north property line.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16332 -The development of 22 single-family lots on 14.98 acres in the Very Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) generally located east of Hermosa Avenue, north of Hillside Road. APN: 1074-241-03 and 01. ACTION: The Committee recommended approval based on the staff recommendation and the Committee decisions: 1. The developer will provide railroad ties to assist in pedestrian access towards the corral area. 2. The developer shall provide vehicle gates, with side step -through or over for horse access across the entrances to local feeder trails from public streets. Widen the trail to 20 feet per City Standard Drawing No. 1006-B (see attached). 3. The developer will provide a concrete pedestrian walkway to connect from the trail to the cul-de-sac (preferably along drainage easement). 4. The developer shall provide a reciprocal access agreement for the lots on the east property line to gain access to the Community Trail. This shall be recorded in the Final Tract Map. TRAILS ACTION AGENDA August 14, 2002 Page 2 6. The developer shall widen the corner trail (Lot 14) to provide better maneuvering for horse trailers. B.

A request to review and make a recommendation regarding corral locations. Although the corral areas meet the 70-foot setback from neighboring residences, the on site 30-foot setback from each individual house is not met in most cases. (Oral report only -exhibits attached for discussion) ACTION: The Committee recommended approval based on the following policy decision: 1. The lots were subdivided prior to the recently changed minimum lot depths. Therefore, it is difficult to attain the desired 30-foot separation of the corral and the house while maintaining the required 70foot corral separation from neighboring houses. The Committee's recommendation is based solely on the recognition that the lots were approved previous to the new Very Low development/corral standards. No similar consideration is warranted for subdivisions that meet the new Very Low lot size and desired corral separation specifications. The Committee further recommended the following: 1. That the developer work with staff to try and accommodate widened trail access points from Amethyst Street to include gates and walk-throughs as provided in City Standards. 2. That staff will add notes to the City's permit tracking system identifying those lots in the tract that are at the lot coverage limit and additionally may not be allowed to add barns/enclosures. The notes should also include comments regarding lot coverage and the limitations of corral locations due to the 70 foot separation requirement between corrals and neighboring houses. 3. The developer shall provide gate access from all the lots (through backyard walls) and to the local collector trails. III. PUBLIC COMMUNICATION None. IV.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET August 14, 2002 NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16332 - The development of 22 single-family lots on 14.98 acres in the Very Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) located generally on the northwest corner of Hillside Road and Hermosa Avenue - APN: 1074-241-03 and 01. ANALYSIS: The public community trails are located on the north side of Hillside Road and on the east side of Hermosa Avenue. A private trail will be provided on the north side of the tract, as well as the west side of lot 16 and will provide access for Lots 17, 18, and 19. These trails are proposed as the 15 — foot local feeder trails within the subdivision. A meandering trail is proposed on the north side of the tract, along with wrought iron fencing and decorative block pilasters. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to incorporate the corral pad area at the top of the bench for access. The majority of lots provide a 12-foot by 48-foot corral pad design. Per the Design Review Committee comments, the applicant has resituated the corral pad area to meet the 70-foot distance of adjoining homes on Lots 17 and 18. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: 1. Provide railroad ties to assist in pedestrian access towards the corral area. 2. The Committee may want to address the idea of wrought iron vs. block walls on the east side of the project. Wrought iron would match the north property line and allow a natural slope without removing trees. 3. Provide vehicle gates, with side step through or over for horse access across the entrances to local feeder trails from public streets. Widen the trail to 20 feet per City Standard Drawing No. 1006-B (see attached). 4. Concrete water bars shall be provided on any trail with a grade of 8 percent or more.

August 6, 2002 Mr. Dan Coleman Planning Department City of Rancho Cucamonga P. O. Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 RE: Tract 16026 Amethyst Estates Dear Dan: AU6 0 7 2M I would like to follow your suggestion and ask to be placed on the equestrian committee agenda. Q Enclosed is a corral exhibit for the entire project. For those not familiar with the project, it is important to note that the streets are completed, the model is completed and open, and several of the houses are built and sold. Also, many houses which have not been built are sold. Planning Staff is requiring a 30 foot distance between a house and its corral, in addition to the requirement that the corral also be 70 feet away from any neighboring house. This requirement is not written into any of the City regulations. Furthermore, this requirement is being imposed after our model home is finished and open without the 30 ft distance. Recently, the City increased minimum depths of lots to 200 ft in VL zoning, but this project was approved, recorded and streets built with lots as shallow as 146 feet. Shallow lots, Hillside front yard setbacks, and 70 foot corral distances, results in a very small area to build a house. Our houses are not "box" shapes — this means our footprints even make it harder to get more distance between the house and the corral. We respectfully request the committee recommend to staff that the Design Reviews on the houses be approved with the distances shown. We have buyers who want very much to become part of this community and its special character. They are aware that a corral would have to be placed less than 30 feet from their home. If this is not approved, a much smaller home and one more in the shape of a "box" would have to be substituted, and that buyer will simply go .somewhere else. 4141 INLAND EMPIRE BLVD. u SUITE 345 u ONTARIO, CA 91764 WEB x PAC-CREST.COM Phone (909) 945-7800 Fax (909) 945-7807 E-Mail sales@pac-crest.com Page 2 Dan Coleman We plan to attend the meeting to answer any questions.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is located at the southwest comer of East Avenue and Banyan Street, and is within the Equestrian Overlay District. The site is bounded by Banyan Street to the north, East Avenue to the east, and surrounded by single-family residences in all directions. The site has a slight slope from north to southeast with one single-family dwelling (identified as not -a -part parcel) located on the central western portion of the site. ANALYSIS: The project will construct a striped Class II Bike Lane on the shoulder of East Avenue, as well as align East Avenue intersection across Banyan Street. The proposed trail layout includes a Local Feeder Trail to the rear of each residential lot, as well as Community Trails along the northern, northwestern, and southern project boundaries, as well as through the south central portion of the site. The project is located within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay; hence, is required to provide Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements), which provide access to the rear of each lot. All lots are designed with an equestrian corral areas adjacent to the trails whenever possible. The average lot size is 25,929 square feet and is large enough for horse keeping. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issue be reviewed by the Committee: 1. Provide a 45-degree angle, 10 feet on each side, corner cut-off for all comers of proposed trails. 2. Provide vehicle gates, with side step-thru for horse access, at all trail entrances per City standard.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENT SHEET May 8, 2002 II. NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16279 (SUBTT16279) — COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES - A residential subdivision of 77 single- family lots on 57 acres in the Very Low Residential District (Up to 2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan located on the south side of Highland Avenue, between Etiwanda and East Avenues. APN: 227-051-01, 04, 05, 06, 09 and 28; and APN: 227-061-05. BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 16279 was submitted by Colorado Pacific Communities in October 2001. Upon completion of the staff determination completeness letter, dated October 24, 2001, the applicant appealed this determination to the Planning Commission. The applicant's appeal focused on the staff comments pertaining to the requirement for equestrian trails to be included within the tract design. The applicant contended that the project was not within the Equestrian Overlay area, nor was it adjacent to a Community Trail, and therefore, trails were not a required component of this tentative tract map. The project is within an area of land designated Very Low Density Residential that is adjacent to the existing Community Trail at the corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Highland Avenue, and thereby, all development within this area would be provided access to the Community Trail. The Commission established this policy direction upon reviewing the applicant's appeal on December 12, 2001. The applicant has submitted a revised tentative map that now reflects the extension of the Community Trail along the south side of Highland Avenue and Southwest Frontage Road, and the provision of the local Equestrian Trail looping throughout the subdivision. ANALYSIS: The revised tentative map includes the extension of the Community Trail from the corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Highland Avenue. The Community Trail would be extended only to the easterly boundary of the project at this time. Lots 15, 16, and 22 to 25 will have access directly to the Community Trail from the rear yard. The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Trail, and should generally provide access for trail riders from the Local Trail to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a series of looping trails within the tract. The looped system allows more convenient access for vehicles (deliveries, clean up, etc) and provides a convenient path of travel for short local trail rides. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: ITEM A TRAILS COMMENTS SUBTT16279 — COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES May 8, 2002 Page 2 Review the looping pattern of the local trail system for proper internal circulation for service vehicles and internal trial rides. Staff has suggested that the Local Trail loop be completed by adding the following components: a. Complete the loop along the rear/side of Lots 72 to 74. b. Add the side yard trail along the east side of Lot 25. 2. Review the Equestrian exhibit included with the tentative tract map, to ensure that each lot has an appropriate corral location and building envelope for future development. a. Lots with a side -to -rear configuration present the greatest challenge in providing an appropriate building envelope on the adjacent lots (i.e. Lots 7 to 9, 19 to 21, 26 to 29 and 74 to 77). The applicant has depicted a conceptual building envelope on each lot in order for the Committee to review the adequacy of the design. 3. Provide vehicle gates with side access per City Engineer Standard Drawing 1006-B at all street/Community Trail intersections, including curb cut. Also, the Local Feeder Trail entrance shall be notched with 20-foot width, per said standard. 4. Provide vehicle gates at all other street intersections per City Engineering Standard Drawing 1006-C.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM15802 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE DEPARTMENT - A request to subdivide 4.24 acres of land in the Estate Residential District (1 dwelling unit per acre) into 4 parcels (three parcels for single-family residential development and one parcel to be dedicated for a fire station) located on the west side of East Avenue, north of Banyan Street at 5844 East Avenue. APN: 225-122-63. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit DRC2002-00065 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2002-00066. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is located on the west side of East Avenue, approximately 250 feet north of 23rd Street, and is within the Equestrian Overlay District. The project is surrounded by undeveloped land to the south, east and west, and an approved, not yet developed, residential subdivision to the north. The site has a slight slope from north to south with one single-family dwelling located on the central western portion of the site. ANALYSIS: The project will construct a striped Class II Bike Lane on the shoulder of East Avenue. The proposed trail layout includes a local feeder trail to the rear of each residential lot, as well as along the east and west perimeters of Lots 2 and 4 (Exhibit "B"). The project is located within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay; hence, is required to provide local feeder trails (private equestrian easements), which provide access to the rear of each lot. The average lot size is 42,329 square feet and is large enough for horse keeping. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issue be reviewed by the Committee: Provide a street crossing on the east side of the proposed cul-de-sac of future "D" Street to connect to the proposed Private Trail Easement of the approved tract to the north. 2. Provide vehicle gates, with side step-thru for house access, at all trail entrances per City standard.

TRACT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES —A request by Brynda Fryan as a representative of the Belmont Equestrian Estates to amend the CC&Rs for Tract 15915 to allow full height private gates across local feeder trails at the intersection with public streets. APN: 1089-081-01 through 14, and 1089-071-01 through 22. (Continued to February 27, 2002). ACTION: The Committee views the issues raised by the residents of Tract 15915 as a crime prevention problem, not a trail/gating problem. If the claims made by the residents, including children stealing construction materials from the backyard of a home enclosed by a six foot masonry wall are true, it is unclear how installation of six-foot high wrought iron gates across trail entrances will impact crime, vandalism, or trespassing. The more appropriate solution to the problem is to utilize Police services, including the Neighborhood Watch Program. The Committee recommends that the CC&R's for Tract 15915 not be amended and that any gates installed within the tract shall meet the current gate with step-thru design per Standard Drawing 1006-C.

TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE 0 COMMENT SHEET February 13, 2002 II. NEW BUSINESS. A. DRCDR00-49 — JAMIIL SAMOUH — A request to review approximately 306 lineal feet of private local feeder trail for compliance with acceptable trial design standards for a 5,235 square foot single-family home on 1.22 acres in the Hillside Residential District, located at 3500 Skyline Road - APN: 200-441-66. BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to construct a 5,235 square foot home at the present terminus of Skyline Road. The lot is located within Tract 10210, a subdivision that was recorded in 1986, and is located within the Equestrian Overlay District. The Development Code requires all new developments within the Equestrian Overlay District to provide a Community Trail in accordance with adopted trails map of the General Plan, and in the case of Local Trails, in accordance with the approved subdivision. The Local Trail is located at the rear of Lot 33, which provides a link to a Local Trial directly to the west and a 20-foot wide Community Trail that borders the southerly and easterly property lines (See Exhibit "B"). The trail traverses substantial native cross section and vertical grade fluctuations, with native cross section grade changes up to 5 feet and native vertical grade changes up to 13 feet. The native cross-section and vertical grade changes have been reduced using retaining walls and fill material. ANALYSIS: The Trail Implementation Plan specifies cross section grades to be between 2 to 4 percent, with 6 percent being the maximum, in approved locations by the Trails Advisory Committee. Vertical grades are optimum at 5 percent or less, and may be up to 20 percent in extreme cases and for short distances of 100 feet or less. Steep areas are to be handled by terraced railroad ties at 3 feet on center. The minimum rideable width is 10 feet. The applicant has designed the local feeder trial using retaining walls and has imported a large amount of fill to offset the grade change that occurs near the east area of the lot. As proposed, the Local Trail has cross section grades that range from 1 percent to 6 percent, and vertical grades that range from 1 percent to 10 percent. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee: 1. As proposed, the trail is in substantial compliance with above -identified technical design guidelines. The Committee should decide if the proposed design is acceptable, given the site constraints. 2. The proposed trail is designed without an approach. Given the rural location of the project, the Committee should discuss if a single driveway approach is appropriate, feeding the driveway and trail, separated by a mow strip or concrete curb at the right-of-way for Skyline Road. Alternatively, in order to ensure the separation of horses and vehicles, separate approaches for the trail and residential driveway could be considered. ITEM A TRAILS COMMENTS DRCDR00-49 — JAMIIL SAMOUH February 13, 2002 Page 2 3. The proposed trial includes approximately 110 feet of interceptor drain, designed as a 3-foot wide v-ditch, with fencing along the south side of the v-ditch. The Committee should discuss moving the fence to the north side of the v-ditch in order to separate the horses from the v-ditch and if the remaining trial width is adequate. 4. In order to negotiate the grade difference near the east area of the lot, the proposed trail easement widens from 15 feet to 45 feet and includes a large fill area with 2:1 slopes. The Committee should discuss if the slopes should be landscaped, in order to minimize erosion.

NEW BUSINESS B. TRACT 15915 - BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES - A request by Brynda Fryan as a representative of the Belmont Equestrian Estates to amend the CC&Rs for Tract 15915 to allow full height private gates across Local Feeder Trails at the intersection with public streets. APN: 1089-081-01 through 14, and 1089-071-01 through 22. BACKGROUND: Woodside Homes constructed the Belmont Equestrian Estates project located on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Victoria Street. The tract is within the Very Low Residential Zone (1/2-acre lots) and subject to the provisions of the Equestrian Overlay District and was, therefore, required to install Local Feeder Trails and Community Equestrian Trails. The tract lies at the intersection of the planned north -south Community Trail extending northerly to connect with Wilson Avenue and the planned east -west Community Trail in the abandoned rail corridor as part of the Rails -to -Trails program. During construction, Woodside Homes installed several wrought iron gates across the entrances to private equestrian trails within the tract at the request of homeowners and in violation of the CC&Rs and the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code. Evidently, the homeowners. were concerned that, without the gates there would be insufficient security because the general public would use the private trails that go across their rear yards. The gates installed by Woodside Homes did not match the City standard design for equestrian trail gates insofar as no step -through or step -over provisions were included. Therefore, the rider of a horse would have had to dismount to open the gate (assuming it is unlocked) in order to use a trail. Prior to completing the project, Woodside Homes removed all of the substandard gates per staff direction with the exception of three gates. One gate is located at the northeast corner of Lot 1 (David and Angela Lowhee) at the intersection of George Court and Grape Place, and a second at the north corner of Lot 4 where it intersects the Community Equestrian Trail along the west tract boundary. These two gates were retrofitted with a City -approved modified horse step -over to allow unimpeded access for horses. The third gate is located at the northeast corner of Lot 32 (Bob and Brynda Fryan) on the south side of Saddleridge Drive just west of Etiwanda Avenue (Exhibit 'K'). The Fryans installed this gate and, therefore, Woodside Homes could not remove it. The Fryans received a notice of violation from the City's Code Enforcement Division in Spring of 2001. The Fryans responded by addressing the City Council during oral communications. Planning staff was directed to attempt resolution of the matter to avoid further Code Enforcement proceedings. For several months, Planning Division staff attempted to negotiate either removal of the gate or installation of a step -over to allow unimpeded horse access to the trail with the Fryans. The Fryans requested several delays to ascertain whether open trails within the tract would in fact lead to problems and whether start of the school year at the junior high school on Etiwanda Avenue would result in students passing through the trails and causing problems. Staff inspected the trails on a weekly basis during the months of discussions with the Fryans and on no occasion found evidence ITEM B TRAILS AGENDA TT 15915 — BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES February 13, 2002 Page 2 of any vandalism other than some construction debris in one trail that was related to a remodeling of one of the homes in the tract. In October of 2001, the Fryans stated that regardless of the lack of problems with any of the trails in the tract, they had no intention of removing their gate. The matter was brought before the City Prosecutor in late October 2001, and the Prosecutor agreed to delay making a final decision on the case to allow the Fryans one month to attempt to amend the Development Code to allow for installation of gates across horse trails. The request before the Trails Advisory Committee is the Fryans' first step towards this attempt. The Fryans have removed the westerly half of their trail gate, but wish to re -install it. Please note the attached chronology of events dated November 8, 2001, (Exhibit "F") for further details. ANALYSIS: The applicant has maintained that the reason for their request is to prevent school children and potential miscreants from entering the trail and somehow harming their property. They also claim that Local Feeder Trails are private and that, therefore, they are free to construct gates across the trail. All of the trails within the tract, other than the easterly most trail traversing Fryans' property, are open or have step-throughs installed. Staff has inspected the site on multiple occasions over the past several months and has never found any evidence of trail vandalism, trespassing, graffiti, or any other supposed problems claimed by the applicant. The trails have been consistently maintained in a pristine condition. This has continued to be the case even for the trail traversing the Fryans' property after they eliminated half of their illegally installed gate to conform to City requirements. According to Police records, there have been seven calls for service in the past six months within the Belmont Equestrian Estates. All seven calls were false alarms from a single residence. The applicant is correct to a degree in that Local Feeder Trails are private property as opposed to public. However, there are specific trail easements that are recorded over the land to allow for unimpeded, continuous access to the trails for the purpose of accessing rear yards where horses are- kept and to allow all owners within the tract to access the pubic Community Trail system. It appears that the homeowners within the tract deny the existence or validity of these easements. All property ownership is simply a bundle of property rights, and the Local Feeder Trail easements are part of that bundle that apply to all owners within a tract; they are not exclusive to the individual properties that they traverse. The applicant claims that the easement over their property is not a Local Feeder Trail because the City has violated the Municipal Code by building a drive approach across the trail. As shown in Exhibit "K," the drive approach has been installed within the public right-of-way, not the private trail. This is required per Condition 11 b of Tract 15915. The applicant is apparently referencing Development Code Section 17.08.080.6.4, regarding prohibition of construction of structures within or across trails (Exhibit "G"). This does not pertain to drive approaches in the public right-of-way, but to those constructed within trails by private property owners to ensure safe passage of horses. 149 TRAILS AGENDA TT 15915 — BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES February 13, 2002 Page 3 While not included in the requested modification to Belmont Equestrian Estates Tract CC&R's, the request for gating Local Feeder Trails will require an amendment to Development Code Section 17.08.070G-4, which states, "construction of any structure within or across the trail easement, including walls and fences, gates, planters, sidewalks, drive approaches, or similar structure, or installation of any vegetation, irrigation system, device, or obstacles of any kind are prohibited." If this section of the Code were to be amended, it would apply to the entire City, not just the Belmont Estates tract. The request will also require an amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan (within which the subject tract lies) that requires the implementation of a "continuous system of ... equestrian trails consisting of ... privately maintained Feeder Trails." The Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan amendments necessary to accommodate the applicant's request would be contrary to the intent of the General Plan and Trails Implementation Plan to provide unimpeded, continuous and convenient access to the Community Trail System. Therefore, these documents would also have to be amended to accommodate the applicant's request. The request violates the Conditions of Approval for Tract 15915 and associated Development Review 99-01. Therefore, in addition to the Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan amendments mentioned above, the homeowners would have to process a Condition Modification for the tract and associated development review subject to review by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Staff sees no justification for amending the Conditions of Approval for the tract related to trail improvements, as this would conflict with applicable rules as described above and there is no evidence that any problems exists to be mitigated by such a modification. The Trails Implementation Plan has a provision for trail abandonment. To abandon a trail within a tract, 100 percent of the homeowners within the tract must approve. The Trails Advisory Committee then considers the requested abandonment and a recommendation is forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing. If the Planning Commission approves the requested trail abandonment, the homeowners then must prepare an amended Final Tract Map for consideration by the City Council and ultimately recordation. Staff does not support abandonment of trails within the tract as the Equestrian Overlay District provisions of the Etiwanda Specific Plan apply to the site (Exhibit "H"), and there is no justification for special treatment of this tract as opposed to other development subject to the Equestrian District provisions. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the proposal, keeping in mind that the Belmont Equestrian Estates tract is not an isolated island of development. It fits into the overall community, including the elaborate Community and Regional trail system that is a key component of the heritage of Rancho Cucamonga and enjoyed by many thousands of residents. The requested gating off of Local Trails requires modifications to overall City requirements that would apply citywide, thereby, undermining years of consistent effort at creating the trails network. Even if the tract could be treated individually to quell the homeowner's concerns, this would set a precedent that could be used by others in the community to argue for additional horse trail gating, again undermining the community -wide trail system. There are already provisions in the regulations that allow for gating off of trails so long as a step -though is provided to allow unimpeded 133 TRAILS AGENDA TT 15915 — BELMONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATES February 13, 2002 Page 4 equestrian access. This has proven to be a reasonable and safe method for securing vehicle control of Local Feeder Trails throughout the City's history. Finally, there is no evidence to validate any of the security concerns raised by the applicant.

Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91739 (909) 463-0939 As requested, I am sending to you the demand in writing in order to be placed on the Trails Advisory Committee agenda on February 13,2002. We, the residents of the Belmont Equestrian Estates, are requesting the right to be able to erect across the openings of our "private equestrian accesses" as stated in our land title, full height private gated fences. We would like to do this by amending the CC&R's for tract 15915 in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, county of San Bernadino, Ca. Thank you again for assisting us in our efforts. Sincerely, B da F ryn ryan Belmont Equestrian Estates Representative cc: Lary Henderson, Principal Planner Trail Advisory Committee Brent Le Count 0corX.4181r "AN -1�5 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA JAN 16 2002 RECEIVED - PLANNING Mr. Mayor and council, My name is Brynda Fryan and I reside at 7055 Isle Ct. Rancho Cucamonga. I am representing myself and the majority of the Belmont estates homeowners. The issue we are addressing is the right to erect fences across our private equestrian access. I live in lot 32 and have already, with the permission of Doug Norton the housing superintendent, put gates up. I was sited by a municipal code stating that: Construction of any structure within or across the trail easement, including walls and fences, gates, planters, sidewalks, drive approaches, or similar structures, etc. are prohibited. (RCMC 17.08.070GA) First, let me point out that this private access is not a "local feeder trail.' If it were a feeder trail then the city would already be in violation of the municipal code due to the drive approach in front of every access. However, if you read our CC&R they clearly state that Said easement is for private equestrian purposes No where does it refer to the easement as a community feeder trail. Therefore, one can only denote from the action taken by code enforcement that they are trying to enforce a municipal code on a private access thus changing said access to a public access. 1 also feel that by allowing the city to use my land it would eventually change my easement from private to prescriptive and thus causing adverse possession of my land. I would only be willing to let the city take over this easement if they are willing to take on the liability, maintenance, and taxes that I am now required to abide by. That would require the city to buy the property and reassess the access as a feeder trail instead of a private equestrian access. Knowing full well that the city would not be willing to do this, 1 feel that it is within my rights as a private homeowner to fence and or gate said properties in order to protect and secure our families and properties. Therefore, all I am asking for tonight is to be placed on the agenda so that myself and all parties of this action will be in attendance. 0 1'YM1'9 rr "1g„ BL, LAW OFFICES OF FRED J.

Blaylock Deputy City Prosecutor City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive PO Box 4807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 RE: My clients: Brenda & Bob Fryan Dear Ms. Blaylock: As you know from our meeting on October 30, 2001, I represent Bob & Brenda Fryan with regard to their dispute with the City of Rancho Cucamonga concerning the easement referenced in your of October 16, 2001. By your letter of October 16, 2001, and the statements made at the aforementioned meeting, you have threatened criminal action against W. & Mrs. Fryan unless they remove what you describe in your letter of October 16, 2001, as a "structure" which you claim is, "across a trail easement" and constitutes a "unsafe and/or non passable obstruction" on their property: 7055 Isle Court. At the meeting of October 30, 2001, you agreed to a thirty day extension before initiating any criminal action. Since that time, Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have tried to work with the City to reach a reasonable compromise regarding this dispute. However, the City has refused to even allow Mr. & Mrs. Fryan to even appear before the City Council regarding this matter. Since an informal resolution does not appear possible at this juncture, Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have taken down the "structure" (gate) on their property at 7055 Isle Court under protest and with a reservation of all rights. W. & Mrs. Fryan dispute the action of the City and contend that the City is violating their rights. As you know from our meeting on October 301, no one in the Belmont neighborhood own horses; there are no barns, horse corals; and the residences are all landscaped. Mr. & Mrs. Fryan have eirmisr # o 8� Cynthia W. Blaylock November 19, 2001 Page Two previously submitted a Petition to the City by the residents of the Belmont neighborhood clearly expressing their opposition to the actions of the City. All of the Title documents to the Fryan property clearly indicate that the easement in question is a np 'vate easement, not a public easement. The Belmont neighborhood is not a gated community. Therefore, the action of the City constitutes a conversion of the easement from a private easement to a public easement. By forcing the Fryans and others in the neighborhood to take down their gates, the City is converting the easement to a public easement for use by anyone. Yet, the City has not agreed to be responsible for maintenance of the easement or assume liability for any damage to the property of the residents. It is our position that during the pendency of this dispute and until a final resolution, the City is responsible for maintenance of the easement and is also responsible for any personal injury or property damage resulting from access to the easement by the public at large. .

The gate has a lock mechanism but has been unlocked on the occasions staff has tried it. Soon thereafter, Woodside Homes installs several similar wrought iron gates across the entrances to private equestrian trails within the tract at the request of homeowners. Evidently, the homeowners were concerned that without the gates there would be insufficient security and the general public and potential miscreants would use the private trails that go across their rear yards. April 2, 2001 — Code Enforcement notes Bob and Brynda Fryan that the gate they've installed violates Code Section 17.08.070 (G). May 3, 2001 — The Fryan's come to the Planning counter and talk with Brent Le Count who explains that while their trail is private it is an easement over their property for the enjoyment of all property owners within the tract. He reminds the Fyrans that they own a home within an equestrian community and that they are required to allow unimpededaccess to equestrians. He provides them with a step thru detail. May 7, 2001 — Bob Fryan tells Code Enforcement that he will not remove or modify his gate, that he and the City will have to agree to disagree and that he'll see us in court. May 22, 2001 — Staff notifies Woodside Homes in writing that the gates will have to be removed or modified to allow step thru provisions. June 6, 2001 — Brynda Fryan speaks before the City Council on the issue. Brad Buller is directed by Council to work with the Fryans to resolve the matter. June 7, 2001 — Planning staff notify Code Enforcement to put the case on hold until further notice and that Planning will work with Fryans to resolve the matter. June 19, 2001 — Staff reminds Woodside Homes that gates must be removed or modified Q6)(W 911 r " F ` I•. B1 3 Page 2 . November 8, 2001 Bob and Brynda Fyran Horse Trall Gate Issue Chronology July 12, 2001 — Brad Buller meets with homeowners within the Belmont Estates Tract at Bob and Brynda Fryan's home to discuss the horse trail gating matter. Brad explains the City requirement for unimpeded access to horse trails, that while the trials are private they are meant to be used by every homeowner in the tract, and that to his knowledge there has been only one court case challenging the existence and function of privatehorse trails in the City and it was turned down. Brad suggests a compromise in which the gates remain in place but a 42-inch wide, 14-inch high step thru/over is cut into each gate to allow unimpeded access to the trails by equestrian users. Brad tells the homeowners they can also install "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" signs on the gates. July 19, 2001 — Woodside Homes refuses to install the gate step thrus and states they will either leave the gates in place or tear them out. Staff has Woodside remove the gates but requests that they make provisions for homeowners to keep the gates in case they wish to modify them and re -install them later on. July 24, 2001 — Woodside Homes removes all of the gates from private horse trails with the exception of the. gate installed by Fryan and the gates along the south tract boundary separating the trails from the abandoned railroad right of way. David and Angela Lowhee modify two gates with step thrus (those on the east and west ends of the northern most private trail) and re -install them consistent with staff direction. Staff discusses the matter with Bob Fryan, he requests that we wait one month to see how things work out with the modified Lowhee gate. August 22, 2001- Staff contacts Angela Lowhee to see if the step -over has led to any problems, and according to Angela it had not. Bob and Brynda Fryan are unavailable to discuss the matter but staff talks with Bob Fryan Jr. who states they are adamant about keeping the gate installed as is regardless of Lowee's experience. September 4, 2001 - Mr. Fryan said that he is not ready to make a decision until school starts. He wants to wait until the end of September to see if school kids cause problems with Lowhee's trail. Staff agrees to contact Mr. Fryan at the end of September. October 1, 2001— Bob Fryan states that he does not intend to remove or modify his gate In any way, that there is graffiti on other trail fences in the tract, that he had found 45 empty beer cans piled up on one trail, and that several linear feet of trail fencing had been removed by Junior High School kids on another trail. Staff visited the site within an hour of the discussion with Mr. Fryan and found all of the trails to be in pristine condition with the exception of one private trail that had a pile of lumber in it related to construction of a home remodel in the tract. Staff contacted David Lowhee who stated that there have been no problems with the trail and gate step thru, even with school in session. Early October 2001 — Staff notifies Code Enforcement that Fryan has refused to cooperate with staffs request for gate modification and that the Code Enforcement process should proceed. October 30, 2001 — The matter is brought before the City Prosecutor. It is agreed that the Fryans take one month so see if they can convince the City Council to change the code requirements related to horse trail access. Page 3 November 8, 2001 Bob and Brynda Fyran Horse Trail Gate Issue Chronology November 7, 2001 — Brynda Fryan tells Brad Buller that she is willing to tear out half of her gate now and in the future seek a code amendment to allow private equestrian trails to be gated off.

Section 17.08.080 - Performance Standards A. Intent. The intent of this section is to protect properties in all residential districts and the health and safety of persons from environmental nuisances and hazards and to provide a pleasing environment in keeping with the nature of the residential character. The performance standards set maximum tolerance limits on adverse environmental effects created by any use or development of land. B. Administration and Measurement. The standards of this section shall be enforced by the City Planner. Upon discovery of any apparent violation of these standards, the City Planner shall investigate using such instruments as may be necessary. If a violation is found to exist, the violation shall be abated as a nuisance as prescribed In the Municipal Code. C. Exemptions. The following sources of nuisances are exempt from the provisions of this section. 1. Emergency equipment, vehicles and devices. 2. Temporary construction, maintenance, or demolition activities between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., except Sundays and National holidays. D. Noise. No operation or activity shall cause any source of sound at any location or allow the creation of noise on property owned, leased, occupied, or otherwise controlled by such person, which causes the Ambient Base noise levels to exceed the following standards, and as contained in Section 17.02.120. 17.08-43 3/01 B17 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090 Proper grading techniques that are sensitive to natural conditions must be utilized for reasons of public safety, maintenance, aesthetics, and environmental protection. The following guidelines are suggested. a. Minimize the amount of site grading needed for development and utility construction through proper site planning. b. Grade land and landscape in workable increments to avoid exposing vast expanses of bared earth at any given time to minimize soil erosion. C. Development in the foothills should relate to the slope in order to preserve the integrity of the hillside and minimize disruption of natural ground form. Adapt all structures In such areas to natural ground form through the use of split pads, built- up foundations, stepped footings, stem walls, etc. d. In hillside areas, development to be designed to preserve open spaces, protect natural features, and offer views to residents. e. Roadway alignments and gradients to be designed and located to avoid excessive grading and to reflect the existing land forms. f. Round off and contour all graded slopes to blend in with the existing terrain and present a more natural appearance. g. Establish proper soil management techniques to reduce the adverse effects (i.e., erosion) of grading. h. Provide driveways with a maximum slope of 15 percent. 1. Provide an 18-foot area In front of the garage that does not exceed 5 percent. J. Minimize slopes between lots to preserve privacy. Where slopes cannot be minimized, mitigate concerns through other means, i.e., landscaping, fencing, etc. k. Minimize disruption of existing natural features, such as trees and other significant vegetation, natural ground forms, rock outcroppings, water, and views. I. Undulate berms to screen parking areas. 10. Fire Safety. Development should be designed in accordance with Fire District requirements for two points of safe and ready access. Areas designated as high fire hazard areas should minimize fuel buildup around residences through greenbelts or cultivated fuel breaks. 11. Transition of Density. The site plan should consider compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods through providing proper transition of density, particularly on infill sites adjacent to lower densities. Comparable densities, open space buffer zones, increased setbacks, and architectural compatibility are encouraged along common boundaries to provide proper transition of density. Clustering units can provide large open space areas as a buffer. 1 Trails. The City of Rancho Cucamonga places significant emphasis on the development of regional, community, and local feeder trails. The General Plan establishes a trail system to provide an interconnected network of trails linking to parks, shopping, and 17.08-50 6/99 1312 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090 14 employment centers with residential areas. To this end, the following guidelines should be considered: a. All new developments are to be designed in accordance with the Master Plan of Trails and adopted trail standards. b. Maintain trails on natural surfaces (i.e., no grading) and locate along natural features whenever possible. C. Considerexisting bicycling, pedestrian, and equestrian access and traditional travel routes through the property, particularly. routes to schools. d. Within the Equestrian/Rural Area, provide trail connections through easements in order to connect disconnected trails and for needed access to recreation activities. e. Provide local feeder trails on the rear of residential lots for equestrian access and related equestrian service access within the Equestrian/Rural Area. f. Provide a means of public access to regional trails within subdivisions. g. Within subdivisions, provide an internal loop trail system of local feeder trails. h. Plot houses to provide reasonable rear yard opportunity for the keeping of horses and other animals within the Equestrian/Rural Area. i. Provide a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area In the rear yard of all residential lots within the Equestrian/Rural Area. J. Grade access from the corral area to the trail with a maximum slope of 5:1 and a minimum width of 10 feet. 13. Street Desion. Vary street pattern to reduce streetscape monotony. Curvilinear streets, cul-de-sacs, front yard landscaping, and single -loaded streets are encouraged to provide streetscape variety and visual interest, particularly in the Low -Medium DisbicL 14. House Plotting. Clustering houses around common space, zero lot line, reverse plotting, angling house to the street, and side entry garages may be permitted if they provide streetscape variety and visual interest, particularly In the Low -Medium District. 15. Multi -Family Development. Well thought-out site planning is crucial in the development of successful projects. In addition to other standards outlined in the Development Code, the following should be considered: a. Relate the location of site uses with adjoining properties to avoid. possible conflicts and take advantage of mutual potentials. b. Consider sharing curb cuts with adjoining properties. C. Buildings which are skewed in relationship to each other can create a variety of view orientations and streetscape interests. d. Provide adequate common open space, including recreational facilities, tot lots, and large open lawn areas. 17.08-51 6199 B19 Etiwanda Specific Plan Part ll, Chapter 5 The proposed use or project meets the intent of the CS/OL District and will enhance the visual and historical character of Etiwanda Avenue and its immediate surroundings. .405 Parking: Off-street parking shall be provided as prescribed in the Development Code, and as follows: (a) All parking areas shall be located behind required street setback lines.

The homebuyers at Lots 12 and 13 have asked if we could remove the private equestrian trail at the southern boundary of their properties and increase the size of their yards. Therefore, please accept this letter as our request to remove the private equestrian trail at the southern boundary of Lots 12 and 13. Enclosed for review by the Trails Committee is a copy of our site plan showing Tract 14120-2, Lots 9 through 13. The private equestrian trail that runs along the eastern boundary of Lot 12/western boundary of Lots 9, 10 and 11 provides access to the trail to Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12, while access to Lot 13 is provided through the equestrian trail to the west of Lot 13. Therefore, access to these lots is not impacted through the removal of this trail. However, by removing the private equestrian trail at this point, the rear yard of Lot 12 is increased as well as the side yard of Lot 13. Should you have any questions or need anything further, please give me a call. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. ncerely, Carol S.

Attachment: Staff Report for Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail — City of Rancho Cucamonga, dated October 10, 2001. (FOR INFORMATION ONLY) W T H E C I T Y O F ANCHO C UCAif01GA Staff Report DATE: October 10, 2001 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, ASLA, City Planner BY. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR PACIFIC ELECTRIC INLAND EMPIRE TRAIL — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA — The proposed project is the development of approximately 7 miles of the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, a Class I multi -use bicycle, pedestrian, and separated equestrian trail located within the existing Pacific Electric Railroad right -of --way, which varies in width from 80 feet to 100 feet, within the city limits of Rancho Cucamonga. The project also includes the acquisition of the historic Etiwanda Station for preservation as a museum, and the potential acquisition or use of the historic Casa De Cucamonga, for use as a future transportation park-n-ride and trailhead. The total area of development of the trail is approximately 85 acres. The total area of development associated with the use of the Etiwanda Station for preservation as a museum, park-n-ride, or staging area for the Trail is approximately 4 acres; for a total of 89 acres of development. (Continued from September 26, 2001). PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Proiect: The installation of a multi -purpose trail along an abandoned railroad corridor. The proposed project will include the following construction activities: 1. Construct a Class I bike path from Grove Avenue to 1-15 Freeway. 2. Construct a hiking/equestrian trail from Cucamonga Creek to easterly city limits. 3. Install lighting. 4. Install signs, mileage markers, and historic displays. 5. Install landscaping and irrigation. 6. Install historic signs and displays. 7. Install trail amenities, including water fountains, benches, trash cans, etc. 8. Install a hierarchy of street crossings, which may include striping, warning signs, flashing beacons, traffic signals, or grade separations. 9. Install trailhead facilities, including parking, restrooms, water fountains, benches, trash cans, etc. 10. Reserve a 45-foot wide area for future rail service. ITEM A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PACIFIC ELECTRIC INLAND EMPIRE TRAIL — CITY OF RC October 10, 2001 Page 2 B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Various South - Various East - Various West - Various C. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Class I Bicycle Path and Community Trail (hiking and riding) North - Various South - Various East - Various West - Various D. Site Characteristics: The Southern Pacific (former Pacific Electric Railway) corridor bisects the middle of the City of Rancho Cucamonga in generally an east -west direction. The rails have been removed and this abandoned corridor has become blighted and has caused law enforcement, weed abatement, and fin: protection problems. The corridor contains non-native and ruderal plant species. The Casa de Cucamonga (a County Museum listed in the National Register of Historic Places) adjoins the south side of the corridor, east of Vineyard Avenue. The historic Etiwanda Station adjoins the corridor's north side at Etiwanda Avenue. ANALYSIS: The project will eliminate problems of blight, crime, and property damage associated with the current abandoned status of the railroad corridor. Current burdens upon City enforcement services would be dramatically reduced and the overall appearance would be significantly improved. Implementation of the project will reduce traffic in the community and region by providing for altemative forms of transportation; will establish an attractive recreational facility; link other bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian trails in the City and the region; and provide a means of direct access to the City's largest planned park, nearby parks, schools, and shopping centers. The project includes the potential acquisition or lease of the Casa de Cucamonga and Etiwanda Station for use as trailhead facilities. The existing Casa de Cucamonga parking lot is suitable if resealed and striped. The Etiwanda Station sits on 4 acres of land suitable for parking and trail nest area facilities. The Station could be renovated into a Pacific Electric Railway museum. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission, by minute action, forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council.

Project Name: Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail 2. Description of Project: PACIFIC ELECTRIC INLAND EMPIRE TRAIL — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA — The proposed project is the development of approximately seven miles of the Pack Electric Inland Empire Trail, a 15 foot paved Class I bike path and walking trail, and separated 15 foot wide equestrian trail located within the existing Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way, which varies in width from 80 feet to 100 feet, within the city limits of Rancho Cucamonga. The project design includes reserving the middle 45 feet for future rail transit use. The project also includes the acquisition of the historic Etiwanda Station for preservation as a museum and trailhead, and the potential acquisition or use of the historic Casa de Cucamonga, for use as a trailhead. The total area of development of the trail is approximately 85 acres. The total area of development associated with the use of the Etiwanda Station for preservation as a museum as a staging area for the Trail is approximately four acres; for a total of 89 acres of development. 3.

General Plan Designation: Regional Multi -purpose Trail 5. Project History and Setting: The County of San Bernardino purchased the historic Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way from the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1991, and then assigned control to the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG). In 1999, Rancho Cucamonga, SANBAG, and the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Fontana, and Rialto developed the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Master Plan. The Plan archived the Pacific Electric Railway right -of way's transportation history and developed plans for a 21-mile multi -purpose trail linking the cities from Claremont on the west to Rialto on the east. The planned 'rail trail' calls for the preservation of a 45400t corridor within the right-of-way for potential future transit use and the integration of Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 2 existing transportation infrastructure including links to rail, bus, multi -modal stations, and local and regional bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian facilities as a Class I multi -use Trail. The Master Plan also includes future transit links and multi -modal integration, staging areas, greenway landscaping, the preservation of historical buildings and transportation stations along the route, and the development of historical monuments and markers to commemorate the Pacific Electric Railway's history and enhance the project and the communities 'livability'. The rail -trail project will serve broad transportation and recreation needs in the populated western San Bernardino County. Ultimately, it will also connect to the proposed 5.9-mile Citrus Regional Bikeway 'rail -with -trail' in the East San Gabriel Valley, connecting San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties. The focus of this Initial Study is the development of an approximately seven -mile portion of the rail -trail within the City of Rancho Cucamonga between the westerly and easterly city limits. The proposed project also includes the acquisition of the historic Etiwanda Station for preservation as a museum and the potential acquisition and use of the historic Casa de Cucamonga for use as a future transportation park-n-dde/staging area. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is seeking Transportation. Enhancement Activities (TEA) funding for this project. This project meets the goals and objectives of the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Master Plan by a) developing a portion of the multi -purpose trail; b) using the historic Etiwanda Station as a transit link/staging area; and c) preserving an historic transportation station along the route. The Initial Study includes a series of photographs to show portions of the route and adjacent land uses. Photographs also show the Etiwanda Station and its existing land use. 6.

AID Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 9 Comments: a-d) . Since 1981, the City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Plan has identified a planned trail system to provide a network of interconnecting off -road trails that are integrated with recreation and open space, both within and beyond the community border. The hiking/riding trail system is also intended to connect the residential and commercial activity centers, as well as the system of on -street bicycle trails. The regional trails traversing the commercial and industrial areas of the City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for bicycling to work, to shop or for recreation. The regional trail serves as the backbone of the public trail system, they are reserved, long distance corridors that serve as the main connection, connecting regional parks, major open spaces, residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The regional trails mainly follow flood control channels, utility corridors, and specifically, the former Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way corridor. The proposed project is the development of approximately seven miles of a rail - trail which is part of the larger Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, a proposed Class I multi -purpose trail that follows the existing railroad corridor, traversing east -west across cities in western San Bernardino County, including the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is the lead agency, partnering with Caltrans, SANBAG and surrounding cities in developing the Master Plan for the entire 21-mile length of the corridor. The City has initially applied for a grant from the Statewide Transportation Enhancements Program to design and construct three miles of the regional trail (between Haven Avenue and a point approximately 1,200 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue) and acquire the historic Etiwanda Rail Station which would be preserved as a museum and used as a transportation park-n-ride and/or staging area for the trail. The development of the Trail and preservation of the Etiwanda Station implements the goals of the City General Plan and the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Master Plan.

() i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) () (x) Comments, a/b) The Trail runs adjacent and parallel to the Red Hill Fault within a City -adopted Special Study Zone at the west side of the City. Beginning near the intersection of Arrow Highway and Grove Avenue, the Trail and fault are parallel through the length of the Special Study Zone, which ends near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. At this point the Trail takes a more northerly angle, separating from the inferred fault zone as it continues northeasterly through the city. The location of the Red Hill Scarp has been determined by. several studies completed in the immediate area; however, they were unable to determine whether the fault is active. The Red Hill Scarp is on a trend with the Etiwanda Avenue Scarp, which is clearly active, as well as the San Jose Fault, which caused both the 1988 and 1990 Upland earthquakes. Since the Trail is parallel to, but does not cross the fault within the Special Study Zone, destruction of facilities is not likely to occur due to fault rupture. However, the City, as well as the region, is susceptible to ground shaking and a maximum credible earthquake of 7.0 along the Cucamonga fault, located along the northern City boundary, can be expected. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code for the construction of all facilities along the Trail will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. The Trail turns to a completely east -west orientation near Archibald Avenue, north of Base Line Road, and then crosses the inferred location of the Red Hill A 22 0 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 11 fault north of Base Line Road, near the intersection of Haven Avenue and Valencia Avenue. The inferred segment of the Red Hill fault is drawn on published maps and the City General Plan Exhibit V-1, to connect the Red Hill and Etiwanda Avenue scarps. Published locations for this segment of the fault vary as much as 1,000 feet, and subsurface explorations for the fault have found no evidence of its existence. Therefore, mitigation through this zone is only required for critical facilities. Trail construction will not include the development any critical facilities, and no mitigation will be necessary. The Etiwanda Station is an existing structure that will be preserved as a museum. As part of the restoration of the Station and Casa de Cucamonga, the City Building Official will determine the potential need to retrofit the buildings to meet current building codes for earthquake safety. The Depot is located approximately two miles south of the Etiwanda Avenue Scarp, which is assumed to be an extension of the Red Hill Fault; and approximately three miles south of the Cucamonga Fault Zone. c-i) Slopes along the Trail corridor are typically less than 10 percent, therefore, no special hazards due to slope failure, landslides, mudslides, or erosion are present along the majority of the Trail. However, the Trail section along the base of Red Hill is up to 30 percent natural slope. Since there will be no habitable structures, and the Trail is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage only, no motorized vehicles or heavy equipment (except during construction), the existing slope will not be compromised. Similar to large portions of western San Bernardino County, geologic conditions through the corridor include alluvial material and older alluvial fan deposits formed on granitic alluvium of the valley floor. The corridor does not contain any unique geographical features or constraints due to unstable soils, therefore, adhering to the City grading standards and the Uniform Building Code for the construction of any structures along the Trail will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant.

Comments: a/b) The project will cause minor changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff due to .the amount of new hardscape proposed on the currently unpaved corridor, approximately 85 acres. Surface runoff from the Trail will be channeled to existing storm drains to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The Trail passes through segments of the 100-year flood zone in the following locations: near the intersection of Arrow Route and Grove Avenue and along Grove Avenue; along Foothill Boulevard at the base of Red Hill; and at Haven Avenue. Since there will be no habitable structures, and the Trail is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage only, no motorized vehicles or heavy equipment, Trail .development within the Flood zone would not result in a public safety hazard. The future Casa de Cucamonga park-n-ride facility may require development of a new parking lot for up to 40 automobiles, including "pull -through spaces for vehicles with horse trailers; for a combined total of approximately four acres of impervious surface. c-i) The proposed Trail corridor Etiwanda Station and Casa de Cucamonga do not pass near any body of water. Prior to construction, a grading plan will be prepared illustrating how stormwater runoff will be conveyed. The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the corridor is not used for groundwater recharge.

Sources of emissions during construction include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. Levels of PM,o will be minimized through the use of standard construction watering procedures. The proposed project was screened using the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G). The criteria pollutants screened for included: reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOJ, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM,o). Two of these, ROG and NO, are ozone precursors. Default values were used where project specific information was unavailable. Based on the estimated amount of criteria pollutants to be emitted per day, construction emissions will not exceed SCAOMD thresholds of significance. However, since the South Coast Air Basin is in non -attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o) standard construction conditions (i.e. application of water to the project area) will minimize the project contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants. Sensitive receptors in the area include residences adjacent to the proposed trail. During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated. Implementation of construction conditions of approval will ensure impacts to sensitive receptors are less than significant.

() () () W Comments: a-g) The proposed Trail project is a joint effort between the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Caltrans, SANBAG, and the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Fontana, and Rialto in developing a Trail Master Plan for a 21-mile multi- purpose trail linking all the partner cities. The planned 'rail trail' calls for the preservation of a 45-foot corridor within the right-of-way for potential future transit use and the integration of existing transportation infrastructure including links to rail, bus, multi -modal stations, and local and regional bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Master Plan also includes future transit links and multi -modal integration, staging areas, greenway landscaping, the preservation of historical buildings and transportation stations along the route, and the development of historical monuments and markers to commemorate the Railway's history and enhance the project and the communities 'livability' by potentially reducing the need for vehicle trips within the community. The project will serve a broad transportation and recreation need in western San Bernardino County. It will also connect to the proposed 5.9-mile Citrus Regional Bikeway 'rail -with -trail' in the East San Gabriel Valley, connecting San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 15 The ultimate design of the Trail will include a grade separation at Foothill Boulevard and Carnelian (both have existing bridges) and Milliken Avenue (the Trail will pass under the street). Master Plan of Trails calls for routing Trail users to the nearest signalized intersections, when interfacing the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail with the City Trail system.

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened, or rare. species or () () N ( ) their habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and binds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, () . () () N eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., () () () (x) eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and () () () N vernal pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? () () () N Comments: a) The areas within the City that may provide habitat for endangered, threatened, or rare species are the North Etiwanda area, (beyond the urban areas), the non- channelized portions of the major drainage ways of Cucamonga, Deer, Day, Etiwanda and San Sevaine creeks and those areas underlain by Delhi sand soil. These areas may provide habitat for the Delhi sands flower -loving fly (DSFLF), coastal California gnatcatcher (CAGN), the San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR) or other species of concern, such as the Los Angeles pocket mouse and Plummer's mariposa lily. The proposed trail follows the former Pacific Electric Rail Road alignment and is south of the North Etiwanda area. The major creeks have been improved with concrete linings and the Trail -crosses these channels via bridges. The Trail does not cross any areas of Delhi sands. The Trail is a clearly defined corridor vegetated with non-native and/or ruderal species. The Trail improvements will be constructed along the outside 15 to 20 feet of both sides of the corridor, with a 45 foot space in the center to be landscaped and reserved for potential future transit use. The area around the existing Etiwanda Station is currently used as a building materials storage yard with no open space for vegetative growth. Alr Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 16 b) There are no locally designated species, (eucalyptus windrows) or habitats along the trail alignment. c) The only designated natural community occurring in the project vicinity is sage scrub, which occurs along the non-channelized portions of the major creeks and in the north Etiwanda area. Throughout the project vicinity there are vacant lots which may contain some elements of the scrub community but typically do not exhibit the necessary components of habitat for listed species, trees or large shrubs for nesting or floodway terraces (i.e. CAGN and SBKR). These areas are isolated from habitat areas, are subject to disturbance from surrounding urban uses and are generally post disturbance communities. d) There are no wetlands (marshes, vernal pools, etc.) in the project vicinity. The only riparian areas in the City are along the non-channelized portions of the major creeks, which are typically 2.5 miles northerly of the Trail. e) The only areas that serve to provide wildlife dispersal areas are the North Etiwanda area and the major drainage ways which are located typically 2.5 miles, or more, northerly of the Trail.

Comments: a-b) The purpose of the proposed Trail improvements is to create a multi -purpose trail ultimately linking San Bernardino County to Los Angeles County. The Trail will include a corridor for future transit use and the integration of existing transportation infrastructure including links to rail, bus multi -modal stations, and local and regional bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The trail system is intended to connect the residential and commercial activity centers, as well as the system of on -street bicycle trails. The regional trails traversing the commercial and industrial areas of the City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for bicycling to work or to shop, thus potentially reducing energy consumption within the community. c) The Trail corridor does not pass through any aggregate resource zones within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

Comments: a-e) Although this is a corridor previously used by the Pacific Electric Railway, there is no evidence of discarded drums, containers, discolored soils or hazardous wastes along the corridor. There was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on -site. The proposed project will not pose a health hazard or increase the risk of exposure to a potential health hazard to the community along the Trail corridor. The site of the Etiwanda Station is currently used for storage of wood building materials. Depending on the types and age of materials currently stored on site, there may be some hazardous materials.

Comments' a-e) The Etiwanda Depot was constructed in 1915 and was one of three that were built by the Pacific Electric Railway Company to serve the newly completed Upland to San Bernardino Line, and was identified in the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Master Plan as an important historic landmark. The structure is an excellent example of Mission style architecture. It was used by the railroad beginning in the early 1900's, and is one of the few original stations still remaining. As the citrus industry declined, so did use of this line. This depot was closed in 1960 and has since been leased for a lumber supply and sales yard. The Depot represents an opportunity to create a museum about the Pacific Electric Railway and a signature trailhead location. The depot is in the heart of Etiwanda and is in close proximity to other historic structures. The proposed project includes the preservation of the rail corridor and the Etiwanda Station. Proposed improvements to the site include restoration of the depot, street improvements, parking for approximately 40 vehicles (including vehicles pulling trailers for equestrian use), landscaping and lighting, and improvements associated with the trailhead which would include restrooms, picnic tables, bicycle racks, and an equestrian staging area. The City is also exploring the use of parking at Casa de Cucamonga (a County Museum listed in the National Register of Historic Places) as a trail head. The Casa De Cucamonga is located on the south side of the Trail, on the east side of Vineyard/Carnelian. The use of the museum would be a mutually beneficial relationship because it would promote visitors to the museum as well as the Trail. The museum site is already fully developed including a large parking lot.

The hiking/riding trail system is also intended to connect the residential, commercial and industrial activity centers, as well as the system of on -street bicycle trails. The regional trails traversing the commercial and industrial areas of the City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for bicycling to work or to shop. The proposed Trail is a Class I multi -use bicycle, pedestrian, and separated equestrian trail located within the Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way which would be an implementation of the recreational goals of the City General Plan.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of Califomia history or prehistory? b). Short term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? A3\ (x) (x) (x) (x) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 23 Comments: a-d) This Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail (Trail) is a proposed Class I multi- purpose trail that follows old Pacific Electric corridor east -west across the City, connecting to the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and Rialto. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the trail alignment. Sources of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. Levels of PMIO will be minimized through the use of standard construction watering procedures. Any remaining open space lands are isolated from native habitat and known occurrences of endangered species, such as kangaroo rat or California gnat -catcher. Due to the level of development in the surrounding area, and the lack native habitat that could support endangered species, the impact is considered less than significant. No major infrastructure will be developed that would be considered growth inducing within the community.

The Physical Environment 1) Is the project a Type I project as defined in 23 CFR 772.5(h)? No. The Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail — Rancho Cucamonga section does not alter any existing highways as defined in 23 CFG 772.5(h). The proposed project is the construction of a multi -purpose trail along an abandoned railroad right-of-way. 2) Are there water resources within or immediately adjacent to the project area? No. The proposed trail corridor, Etiwanda Station and Casa de Cucamonga are not located near any water resources. 3) Is the project within a designated sole -source aquifer? No. The proposed trail will be located within railroad right-of-way and does not fall within a sole source aquifer. 4) Is the project within the State Coastal Zone? No. The project site is located in San Bernardino County approximately 60 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. 5) Is the construction area located within a regulatory floodway? Yes. The Trail passes through segments of the 100-year flood zone in the following locations: near the intersection of Arrow Route and Grove Avenue and along Grove Avenue; along Foothill Boulevard at the base of Red Hill; and at Haven Avenue. Since there will be no habitable structures, and the Trail is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage only, no motorized vehicles or heavy equipment, Trail development within the Flood zone would not result in a public safety hazard. 67 Is the project within or immediately adjacent to a Wild and Scenic River System? No. The proposed trail follows the former Pacific Electric Rail Road alignment. The major creeks in the area are ephemeral and have been improved with concrete linings. The Trail crosses these channels via bridges. 7) Is there a potential for a federally -listed, threatened, or endangered species? No. The Trail is a clearly defined corridor vegetated with non-native and/or ruderal species. The Trail improvements will be constructed along the outside 15 to 20 feet of both sides of the corridor, with a 45 foot space in the center to be landscaped and reserved for potential future transit use (not reasonably foreseeable and not a part of this project). The area around the a'Ak existing Etiwanda Station is currently used as a building materials storage yard with no open space for vegetative growth. 8) Is there a potential of wetlands within the construction area? No. There are no wetlands (marshes, vernal pools, etc.) in the project vicinity. The only riparian areas in the City are along the non-channelized .portions of the major creeks, which are typically 2.5 miles northerly of the Trail. 9) Is there a potential for agricultural wetlands within the construction area? No. The site is not considered farmland pursuant to Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency. There are no wetlands in the project vicinity. 10) Air Quality a) Is the project included in a currently conforming regional transportation plan (RIP)? Yes. The proposed multi -use trail is included in the San Bernardino Associated Government (SANBAG) Non -motorized Transportation Plan. b) Is the project exempt from the requirement to determine conformity? Yes. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities are exempted from the requirement to determine conformity under 40 CFR, Chapter I, Part 93.126. 11) Is the project in a non -attainment or maintenance area? Yes. The project site is within a maintenance area according to National Ambient Air Quality Standards. 12) Is there a potential for prime or unique farmlands within the construction area? No. The project site is an existing, abandoned railroad right-of-way and is not considered farmland pursuant to Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of California Resources Agency. 13) Is there a potential for Hazardous Materials within the construction area? An environmental site assessment (ESA) was conducted for the Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA) prior to purchasing the property. The ESA identified area where clean up would be required The City of Rancho Cucamonga is proposing to remodel and upgrade the grounds of the Etiwanda to turn it into a museum, related to the history of the Pacific Electric Railway. Prior to any disturbance of the building or site, the City will have the property assessed to ALQ_ determine if any hazardous materials are present. Appropriate cleanup of the site and building will be undertaken prior to occupancy. 14) Is there any publicly -owned park, or recreation areas within the construction area? No. Project site is a former railroad route that has been abandoned. There are no parks or recreation areas currently associated with the right-of-way. 15) Is there any aesthetically visual resources within the project area? No. The project site is a linear right-of-way that passes through the City. The area has views of the San Gabriel Mountains which will not be affected by the project. B) The Social and Economic Environment 16) Will the project require any right of way? No. The right-of-way for the project has been secured by SANBAG. 17) Is the project inconsistent with plans and goals adopted by the community. No. The project is included in the City's General Plan. 18) Will the project be in need of public services other than those presently proposed? No. Public services and utilities are available. 19) Will the project involve changes in access control? Yes. The ultimate design of the Trial includes a hierarchy of street crossings to control access based upon traffic volume and speed. The Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail will have a total of 18 crossings over its 7 mile length in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.. Grade separations will be provided at Foothill Boulevard, Carnelian Avenue, Victoria Park Lane, and I-15 Freeway (all have existing bridges). The majority of access control will be signalized, which includes: Grove Avenue, Baseline Road, Archibald Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, Rochester Avenue, Day Creek Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, and East Avenue. The remaining lower volume streets will utilize flashing beacons for traffic control, including Hellman Avenue, Amethyst Street, Ramona Avenue, and Kenyon Way. 20) Will the project involve the use of a temporary road, detour or ramp closure? No. The proposed project will be developed on an existing railroad right-of-way. 21) Will the project reduce available parking? No. The trail master plan includes future transit links and staging areas so no parking will be affected. 22) Will the project require future construction to fully utilize the design capabilities included in the proposed project? No. The project will be designed for full utilization of bicycle, pedestrian and equestrian facilities. 23) Will the project generate public controversy based on potential environmental effects? No. The proposed trail would use an abandoned railroad right-of-way. During preparation of the Trail Master Plan, there was an extensive public outreach program that included public workshops on June 8 and July 20, 2000. In addition, survey forms were distributed throughout the Master Plan study area and posted on the Trail's website. Over 500 responses were received, all in support of the Trial, and no environmental issues were raised. 24) Will project construction encroach on State or Federal Lands? No. The length of the project falls within the railroad right-of-way. 25) Is there National Register listed or potentially eligible historic properties within the construction area? Yes. Casa de Cucamonga is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP-L-73428).. Use of the site's existing parking lot as a trailhead by trail users is likely to increase awareness of, and visitors to, this important historic museum. The proposed use will not affect the integrity of the historic building or grounds. Ayy 4 NATIVE PARCEL MAP No. t:') 8 u 2 24th STREET (WILSON AVENUE) IN.
