BY: Steven Ross, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR TRACT 13280 - LUSK
COMPANY - A request for a time extension of the design review
for building elevations and detailed site plan for a recorded
tract map consisting of 145 single family lots on 23.9 acres
of land in the Low Medium Residential District. (4-8 dwelling
units per acre) of the Victoria Planned Community, located at
the northeast corner of Base Line Road and Ellena West -
APN: 227-081-06. Related Files: Minor Exceptions 89-21 and
90-02.
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 13280 was approved by the Planning
Commission on December 9, 1987, and has since been recorded- The Design
Review for the Tract was approved on December 13, 1989, for a period of
two years, as allowed by the Development Code. Extensions may be
granted in 12-month increments for up to 36 months from the original
approval date.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Tract 13280 is located in the Vineyards South portion of
the Victoria Planned Community. It consists of 145 lots which
range in size from 4,000 to 9,000 square feet. The average lot
size is 5,165 square feet and typical lot dimensions are 45 by 90
feet. Required property line setbacks are 5 feet on the sides, 20
feet in front, and 15 feet in the rear.
The approved design review consists of five floor plans, each
having four different elevations. Additionally, 'enhanced
elevations will be provided on all of the lots which side-on to a
trail or street. This occurs on 25 percent of the lots. The
smallest floor plan size is 2,212 square feet, while the largest is
2,628 square feet, excluding the garages, which are approximately
550 square feet each-
B. Development Standards: The development standards which apply to
this project have not changed since it was approved. Although
current development standards require a combined 15-foot side yard
setback, the design review was approved with 5-foot sideyards
because the tract, approved prior to the revised standards, was
designed and approved for a unit prototype utilizing 5-foot
setbacks. ITEM A

FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Commission must make all of the following
findings in order to approve this application:
A. There have been no significant changes in the Land Use Element of
the General Plan, Development Code=, or character of the area within
which the project is located that would cause the approved project
to become inconsistent or non-conforming.
B. The granting of an extension would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The library complex is located at the southeast corner of
the proposed Central Park and will be the first phase of the Omni
Center complex which includes plans for other cultural buildings
including a theater and community building for cultural arts.
The library and it's adjacent parking plaza and landscape areas are
the only items under review with this application. The remaining
,elements will be submitted at some time in the future. A state
funded grant for approximately $13 million has been applied for-
Because of state requirements, the library project has been located
on it's own parcel which is being processed concurrently with this
Development Review application. The initial library grant
application submittal was rejected; however, a second application
was made in July of 1991 and the results of the selection will be
known in early 1992.
In addition to being reviewed at several Planning Commission
workshops, the library concept has been reviewed by the Library
Subcommittee as well as the Park & Recreation Commission and the
City Council. The project received conceptual approval by these
two bodies at a joint meeting on January 9, 1990. Since the
original conceptual approval by the City Council and Park and
Recreation Commission, revisions to the size of the library
building were made and reviewed by the Park and Recreation
Commission on April 10, 1991-
B- Planning Commission: In addition, Planning Commission Workshops to
review the library design concepts were held on February 8, March
22, April 5, and December 6, 1990. Planning Commission Workshops
were conducted to review formally the library on April 18 and
September 19, 1991 (see Exhibits "A" & "B"). The architectural
concepts as well as site plan, grading, and landscape design were
approved by the Commission at that time-
C- Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee
reviewed the project on April 17, 1991, and approved it subject to
the conditions noted in Exhibit
D. Environmental Assessment: A mitigated Negative Declaration was
recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission to the City
Council on January 17, 1991. The Negative Declaration was approved
by the City Council on February 6, 1991.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The proposed use is consistent with the General
Plan and the Development Code. The building design and site plan,
together with the recommended conditions of approval, are in compliance
with the Terra Vista Planned Community. The project will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially
injurious to surrounding properties-

a 128,438 square foot library building on 9.58 acres in the southeast
corner of the proposed 100 acre Central Park project, located at the
northwest corner of Millikan Avenue and Base Line Road - APN.' 076-591-01
thru 11.

Design Group~ Bob Mueting, RJM Design Group~ Dan Guerra,
Derbish Guerra Associates
The Commission had previously approved the architectural concept. The purpose
of this workshop was to present to the Commission revisions made to the plans
and to review specific design details.
A brief introduction was provided by Brad Bullet, City Planner.
An overview and background on the project was provided by Bob Mueting of RJM
Design Group. He indicated that the library grant had been the driving force
behind the library submittal package and that the library project was now
being processed ahead of, and separately from, the overall Central Park
project. Mr. Mueting indicated that the following items were addressed from
the previous Planning Commission workshop:
1. The elevation of the building facing the plaza was stepped back at the
third level, to reduce the mass of the structure.
2. Vertically rectangular, rather than square, windows have been provided.
3. Arches have been increased in size.
4. Roof forms and building massing have been provided with more variation.
5. A central equipment plant will be located at the east end of the
building.
Commissioner Tolstoy questioned the height of the slope above Base Line Road.
The engineer indicated that the site is visually flat with an existing 3
percent gradient. He reported the plaza area was.originally elevated at 50
feet and the main floor of the library at 60 feet with the lower floor at 42
feet. (An 18 foot floor-to-floor height is required). He said the site has
been dropped approximately 7 feet since the time of master plan approval.
Brad Buller felt that approval in concept had been given at the last workshop
with some details yet to be worked out. He thought the point of tonigh='s
meeting was to settle as many of the design details as possible.
The Commissioners indicated that additional information was necessary before a
decision could be made, particularly on the balustrades, cornices, windows,
and other similar elements, but that the concept plan and materials proposed
were acceptable.
Commissioner Chitlea felt the proportions and stepping and the footprint of
the building are successful$ however, more consideration should be given to
the close-up view. She thought all of the exterior details which affect the
appearance of the building and establish its form and character need to be
developed and revised.
There was consensus from the Planning Commission on this issue.
Mr. Mueting indicated that the roof would be constructed of a flat clay tile
if the budget allowed. He said a variety of paving types will be provided on
the ground plane. Mr. MustAng indicated the synthetic stucco proposed for the
· main building material has a potential for damage but that a wainscot would be
utilized for protection.
Chairman McNiel preferred a finish similar to a smooth plaster finish.
Mr. Mueting indicated that the doors would be trimmed with stained wood. He
said cast stone elements will be utilized on the bottom floor and any proposed
copper elements will be 'prepainted.'
Commissioner Melcher thought that the open pyramid roof elements with wood
members were inappropriate to the overall concept.
Planning Commission Minutes -2- April 18, 1991
Commissioner Tolstoy liked the concept but wondered whether or not the
structure was too high (20 feet) to be combined successfully with plant
material.
Commissioner Chitiea noted that she didn't see how a vine could grow up a
trellis of that height and be maintained successfully. She preferred using a
solid roof and ensuring that the ceiling was decorative.
The Planning Commission reached consensus that this would be appropriate.
Discussion then focused on the insulated sky light. Mr. Mueting indicated
that the material used would not have a lot of heat gain and that a wood
trellis was placed on top of the skylight to keep it in context with the rest
of the building. He said 'angel wings' would be provided along the side of
the skylight for screening purposes.
The Commissioners indicated that the skylight and trellis maintenance might
present a problem. They felt that because the skylight would be screened by
the angel wings, it would be unnecessary to cover it with a trellis since that
would potentially present maintenance problems.
Commissioner Melcher questioned areas on the renderings where windows were
represented but where they didn't seem to actually occur as indicated on the
floor plans.
Dale Lang, Wolff, Lang, Christopher, noted that in some areas (such as rest
rooms) there may be niches rather than windows and that all the details have
not been yet been specifically worked out.
Commissioner Vallette thought some stained glass should be utilized along the
Base Line Road frontage.
The issue of the slope height along Base Line Road was then discussed as well
as what type of tree species should be used in the grove along the front of
the library. 0live trees were suggested by Commissioner Tolstoy.
Mr. Mueting indicated that this issue was still under study by the landscape
consultant.
The issue of the satellite parking area was discussed next. All the
Commissioners concurred that it would not be desirable to see parked cars from
Base Line Road. They indicated that if State parking requirements mandate the
parking area, then the round shape would be acceptable$ but the area visible
from Base Line Road should be heavily screened with shrub massing. They
concurred that if the parking area is not required by the State, it should be
deleted.
The Commissioners then discussed the excavation area for the lake and
indicated they felt it should be hydroeeeded and irrigated since it would be
there for a number of years.
Planning Conxnisston Minutes -3- April 18, 1991
The Commissioners questioned the width of the service drive aisle and
indicated they would like to see it de-emphasized if possible. The
consultants indicated that this issue is still under study.
Commissioner Melcher expressed dissatisfaction with the runnel water feature
throughout the courtyard area. He felt the courtyard area was the most likely
place where large groups of people would congregate and that bisecting the
area would make it unusable and present a potential liability to the City.
The consultant indicated that this was intended to be reminiscent of the
irrigation canals that used to be in the area. It was pointed out that the
plaza area is one acre and that the runnels are proposed to be four feet in
width.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt that some t~pe of water element was very appropriate
in the courtyard area. He indicated that a water element was worth the risk
of liability in this areas however, he thought the runnel concept might not
necessarily be the appropriate solution.
It was agreed the consultant would consider options.
The Conlnissionerl concurred that they approved of the overall architectural
and site design concept, but indicated they want to review the project at
another workshop prior to scheduling for the Planning Commission.
The consultant indicated they should be ready to resubmit details in two weeks
for a workshop to be conducted in approximately one month.

COMMISSION WORKSHOP ON REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT REV{~W 9~-Q5 - C{~ OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA - The development of a 128,438 square foot library building on 9.58
acres in the southeast corner of the proposed 100-acre Central Park project,
located at the northwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Base Line Road - APN:
1076-591-01 through 11.
Otto Kroutil indicated that the purpose of this workshop was to resolve design
details that were not clear at the previous workshop and to complete the
design review process. -
The relief sections provided by Wolff, Lang, Christopher were presented by Bob
Mueting. Mr. Mueting emphasized the following points in his presentation:
1. The concrete balustrade along the Base Line Road elevation wil! be more
substantial on the first floor, but less on the 2nd floor. A hierarchy of
balustrade sizes will occur from the ground floor to the upper stories.
2. The floor plans will most likely evolve, but the elevations will remain
essentially unchanged.
3. Stained glass could be used in a restrained way in the arched window of
the Base Line Road elevation and the arch over the main entry. Stained
glass may be used on the eastern elevation, but this would be done on a
"donation basis.'
4. Regarding the column sections and elevations, it is the intent to indicate
increased detail wherever pedestrians might be located.
5. A tile and wainscot material has been proposed for durability- The
wainscot material is preferred, however, due to its more resistant and
lasting qualities-
6. The cornice detail varied in size, with the smaller elements being on
top. The Base Line Road elevation would have more substantial detailing
to the cornice element.
The discussion between the applicant -and the Commission focused 0n the
following points:
1. The tile on the elevator tower elevation was felt to not be appropriate if
it only occurred in this location- If it will not be provided elsewhere,
it should be eliminated-
2. The Base Line elevation corner element on the upper story will be wrapped.
3. Regarding the entry elevation at the plaza area, the arched main windows
and the flanking area to the side should be as originally proposed· The
original windows were preferred by the Commission, which included three
large windows mirroring the three large arches· The Commission requested
that the architect review whether or not this would be possible·
4. It was felt that the use of stained glass was not necessary·
5. Mr. Mueting indicated that the window openings are to be recessed at least ·
12 inches· More detail will be provided at the plaza and front elevations
and less on Base Line Road. All windows will be recessed and trimmed in
raised molding. The tomlesion indicated that a double recess would be
preferable to any plant-on material.
6. The Commission questioned whether stone or foam detailing would be
provided. .Mr. Mueting indicated that stone was preferred,..but a foam
material would be utilized if the budget dictated.
7. The exact color had not been determined at this point, but it was
indicated the intent was to be within the color range as indicated on
renderings.
The Planning Commission agreed that the project was ready to proceed to the
formal meeting of the Commission for approval.

SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 13565-6 & 7 - STANDARD
PACIFIC - The design review of building elevations and
detailed site plan for Phases 6 & 7 of a previously County-
approved map consisting of 82 single family lots on 43.1
acres of land, located north of Summit Avenue and east of
Wardman Bullock Road - APN: 226-082-16, 17, and 27.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Action Requested: Approval of building elevations and plot plans.
B. Pro~ect Density: 1.9 dwelling units per acre
C- Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Vacant; Planned Community (Tract 13564)
South - Single Family Residential; Low Residential District (2-4
dwelling units per acre) Tract 13566
East - Vacant; County Floodway
West - Vacant; County Single Residential PR (7,200 square feet
minimum lot size) and PD-2 (Planned Development, 2
dwelling units per acre).
D. General Plan Desi~nations:
Project Site - Very Low Density Residential (less than 2 dwelling
units per acre)
North - Very Low Density Residential (less than 2 dwelling units
per acre)
South - Low Density Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre)
East - RCN (Rural Conservation); San Bernardino County
West - RES 2 (2 dwelling units per acre); San Bernardino County
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Tract 13565 was approved by the County of San Bernardino
and includes 10 phases on 159 acres. Phases 1-4 have been
constructed with building permits having been issued by the County
of San Bernardino. An Annexation and Development Agreement was
approved by the City of Rancho Cucamonga on November 16, 1988, and
December 7, 1988, respectively, for the tract.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 13565 (PHASES 6 & 7) - STANDARD PACIFIC
December 11, 199 1
Page 2
A Design Review for Phases 5, 9, and 10 (108 lots). was approved by
the Planning Commission on September 27, 1989. Additionally, a
Design Review for Phases 6, 7, and 8 (125 lots) was approved by the
Planning Commission on November 8, 1989. Standard Pacific is now
proposing to modify their approval for Phases 6 and 7 only (82
lots) at this time. Lots for Phases 6 and 7 range in size from
9,011 to 14,866 square feet with the average lot size being 9,995
square feet. Building permits have not been issued for any lots
within Phases 5-10.
B · Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel,
Chitlea, Kroutil) originally reviewed the project on September 19,
199 1, and recommended the following revisions:
1. Provide better differentiation between plans, especially the
rear and sides.
2. Provide a break-up in garage doors to enhance the streetscape
and to lend individuality to each style. Consider popping the
single door garage door in or out. As presented, the garage
doors dominate the streetscape.
3. Roof lines of the Plan 1 elevations appear too similar.
4. The project type should meet the intent and spirit of the
proposed Etiwanda North Specific Plan. More obvious
variations in elevations are needed. The variations provided
for each elevation type are too similar.
5. The concept of 360-degree architecture should be utilized.
Additional variation is needed for the side and rear
elevations- Possibly a change in window shape could
accomplish this.
6. Consider varying the chimney details and/or caps for each
style.
7. Front yard return walls should be painted a consistent color
throughout the tract.
8. Driveway treatment should provide greater variation and
additional enhancement. More varied texture and color changes
should be provided.
The applicant revised their plans in response to the Comittee's
comments. The Committee (Chitiea, Melcher, and Kroutil) approved
the project on November 7, 1991, with the following conditions:
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 13565 (PHASES 6 & 7) - STANDARD PACIFIC
December 11, 199 1
Page 3
1. More variety should be provided in the chimney cap details and
below the spark arrestor cap. The applicant should consider
varying the detail of the chimney itself, which would have to
be accomplished in the framing stage. At least one type of
chimney cap differentiation per architectural style should be
provided (i.e., minimum of 3)..
2. The siding on the 2A and 3A elevations should be eliminated.
3- Mullions should be provided on some first and second story
rear and side windows for those elevations which have them on
the front windows. These should be plotted on high visibility
streets such as 24th Street and San Sevaine Road and on some
corner lots.
4. For those elevations which are provided with optional
balconies, at least 2-3 should be plotted along San Sevaine
Road to provide greater streetscape variety.
5. Pot ledges (especially on Elevation 4A and 4B) should be more
substantial and should be provided with a railing or recess to .
keep pots from blowing away.
6. A minimum number of bonus room options should be provided for
the Plan 2 elevation. This should be worked out by the
applicant and staff prior to issuance of building permits.
7. The arched windows on the upper story of the 3A elevation
should be modified, either by changing the proportions or the
number.
The applicant subsequently revised their plans to address the
concerns of the Design Review Committee:
1. The applicant has provided additional chimney cap detailing
for each architectural style (See Exhibit "F").
2. The siding has been eliminated on the 2A and 3A elevations.
3. Mullions have been provided on some second story windows of
Plans 2, 3, and 4 elevations (rear and side).
4. The applicant has agreed to provide four balconies for the
entire project. Two balconies will be located on San Sevaine
Road, one on Hastings, and one on Los Robles Court.

condominium units on 3.35 acres of land in the Medium
Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), located
on the west side of Carnelian Street at Vivero Street -
APN: 207-022-54 and 64.
BACKGROUND: On October 25, 1989, the Planning Commission approved
Environmental Assessment and Tentative Tract 14263, to expire on
October 25, 1991. The applicant is requesting a one-year time extension
to expire on October 25, 1992. Provisions of the Development Code allow
time extensions in twelve-month increments, not to exceed five years
from the original date of approval. The applicant may request two
additional time extensions to extend the tentative map until
October 25, 1994.
ANALYSIS: Staff reviewed the proposed time extension request and
compared the proposal with development criteria outlined in the
Development Code. Based upon this review, staff determined that the
project meets basic development standards of the Medium Residential
District. The provisions of Ordinance No. 465, the new Multi-Family
Development Standards, do not apply to time extension requests.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Commission must make the following
findings before approving this.application:
A. There have been no significant changes in the Land Use Element
of' the General Plan, Development Code, or character of the
area within which the project is located, that would cause the
approved project to become inconsistent or non-conforming; and
B. The granting of an extension will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.

RE: Tentative Tract Map 14263
Dear Ms. Adams:
Tract Map 14263 obtained tentative approval from the Planning
Commission on October 25, 1989 (Resolution No. 89-135) and from the
City Council on December 6, 1989 (Resolution No. 89-571).
Trider Corporation is now the owner of the property and we are
approximately six (6) to nine (9) months from tract map
recordation. Thus, we will need to process an extension on our
tentative tract map. Thus, Trider Corporation hereby formally
requests a one (1) year extension on tentative tract map 14263
located within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Should additional paperwork, fees or correspondence of any sort be
necessary, please contact me immediately as this matter is of the
utmost importance.
Sincerely,

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission

BY: Barbara Kral 1, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF A PORTION OF MILLER AVENUE AND DAY CREEK
BOULEVARD EAST - A request to summarily vacate a portion of Miller
Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard east, located south of Base Line
Road between Rochester Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The William Lyon Company has requested the vacation of
the existing street right-of-way generally as shown on Exhibit A. The east
half of Day Creek Boulevard on the east side of the Edison corridor was
dedicated with the parcel map that created the Regional Center parcel.
Subsequently, the Victoria Community Plan was amended to relocate the total
width of. Day Creek Boulevard to the west side of the Edison Corridor,
therefore, making this portion unnecessary.
The portion of Miller Avenue was dedicated prior to the completion of the
Victoria Community Plan. It is no longer necessary because the street has
been relocated northerly.
Both vacations are consistent with the General Plan and the Victoria Community

Nine letters have been received since preparation of the November 13,
1991, Staff Report (see attached). Staff discussion follows:
Dan Koning, November 10, 1991
Comment
Support is stated for the Etiwanda North Specific Plan.
Response
Con~nent noted.
Comment
Concern is expressed regarding feasibility of fire protection in the
hillsides.
Response
Fire hazard is a concern which has been addressed by the Rancho
Cucamong~ Fire Protection District and the draft Specific Plan as
follows:
* Preparation of the draft Etiwanda North Specific Plan Fire
Protection Study, January 1991, by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire
Protection District.
* Environmental Mitigation Measure requiring a project level Fire
Defense Plan prior to approval of each project.
* Two means of access to each project.
* The reco~nendation for General Plan Amendment changing certain
territory north of the north Cucamonga Fault .from hillside
residential to open space.
Comment
Concern is expressed regarding the viability of the wildlife corridor
for Day Creek-
Response
No housing development is proposed in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan
which would impair wildlife movement within or north of the Day Creek
Spreading Ground. The Specific Plan proposes to retain the existing
open space use for the Day Creek Spreading Ground. The Specific Plan
also proposes an open space designation west of the Day Creek Channel
F H-3
north of the Spreading Ground- Finally, the Specific Plan proposes an
open space designation east and west of the natural Day Creek channel,
north of the Day Creek Debris basin.
Comment
Concern regarding residential development within the Cucamonga Fault
zone.
Response
The purpose of the Alquist-Priolo Seismic Study Zone is to ensure that
seismic studies are completed prior to approval of an application for
development- Applicants for each proposed project must retain a
geologist to determine the location of existing seismic faults within
the Alquist-Priolo Seismic Study Zone and identify a minimum 50-foot
exclusionary setback from said identified faults- Residential
construction is not allowed with the setback zone. The Etiwanda North
Specific Plan requires that the resulting minimum 100-foot setback be
designated as open space-
Comment
Support for the acquisition and preservation of open space north of the
LADWP utility corridor.
Response
In response to comments from the California Department of Fish and Game,
an environmental mitigation measure (Section 4.5, #30) was added to
require that, prior to approval of the first project in the affected
area following approval of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, a study be
completed to determine the feasibility of acquisition of the area north
of the LADWP utility corridor for a Riversidian Alluvial Fan Scrub

Subject: Etiwanda North Specific Plan
Dear Planning Commission:
I am pleased that you carefully examined my previous letter
(September 24) and included it on the November 13 Staff Report. However,
let it be on the record that I wrote the letter before I even knew the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan existed. After studying the the draft of
the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, I give it my full support. I commend
the city for devising a comprehensive zoning plan that takes into account
the unique features of the area. Furthermore, I am especially pleased
that the Plan preserves the bog and prohibits any development to the
north of it. But I feel there are still some issues that need to be
addressed: fire danger, wildlife corridors, and the Cucamonga Fault
Zone.
First, I doubt the feasibility of any fire protection for the
houses zoned in the mountainous regions--namely, San Seveine and
Henderson Canyons. Mountain chaparral burns incredibly fast and hot
because of its high density and the high oil content of manzanita and
buckthorn. It should be remembered that the fire of 1988 swept all the
way to Day Canyon before it was contained by fire fighters. In addition,
the fire of 1970 burned all the way to San Antonio Canyon before fire
crews stopped it. Both these fires originated in the same place,'Lytle
Creek, and most of the firebreaks and fire roads proved useless against
these wind-driven infernos. The houses in question stand in the path of
these past fires. Moreover, the costly Oakland Fire should teach us a
lesson in building houses in the midst of thick vegetation.
Second, from observing the accompanying maps of the Etiwanda North
Specific Plan, I question the viability of the wildlife corridor of Day
Creek with a housing tract proposed to the north. This tract will hamper
the movement of deer, and increase human confrontation with the coyote,
mountain lion, and bear that live in Day Canyon.
Third, I must emphasize the hazards of building on top of the
Cucamonga Fault Zone. Matti, Mc Fadden, and Tinsley have studied the
fault scarps in this region and have reached a general consensus that
three earthquake scarps exist north of Etiwanda which have seen a rupture
of over 6 feet (29).
It appears that Landmark doubts the authenticity of this report.
Let me add that this study is probably the most comprehensive to date
(the authors still maintain their conclusions). Also, the report is
unbiased towards either developers or the environment since the authors
wrote it for a GSA (Geological Society of America) field trip.
The beautiful, steep face of the San Gabriels north of Rancho
Cucamonga owes its existence to a very active thrust fault. In addition
to the above, the authors have noticed that the three fault scarps north
of Etiwanda did not occur simultaneously (33-39). Rather, durinq the
recent past new breaks and scarps have formed in the qeneral !/4 mile
diameter of the fault zone. With respect to that observation, I do not
think that the 50 feet prescribed by the State will be enough for a fault
of this nature.
In my opinion, the most effective way to avoid the problems of fire
danger, earthquakes, and wildlife viability is to limit northward
development to the utility corridor.
Unfortunately, land companies already own the land north of the
utility corridor. The cost of providing compensation to these companies
and the cost of eminent domain to acquire this property as open space
will probably spare earthquake and fire damage costs and lawsuits in the
near future. Most importantly, by leaving the acreage north of the
utility corridor free from development, we will preserve the aesthetic
beauty and wildlife that Rancho Cucamonga still has to offer. Continue
to make Rancho Cucamonga an unique and distinguished co~unity in
Southern California by leaving open space for both our wildlife and
children.
Therefore, with these concerns in mind, I give my strong approval
to the Etiwanda North Specific Plan and encourage the city in
implementing it.
Sincerely,
Dan Koning

STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 11, 1991
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning C~mnission
FROM: Barrye R. Hanson, Senior Civil Engineer
BY: Betty A. Miller, Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: HODIFICATION TO TENTATIVE TRACT 13759 - FU HAI LIMITED - A
request to modify a condi ti on of approval reqd I ring
preliminary FEHA approval prior to the Final Hap for a
residential subdivision of 56 single family lots on 14.01
acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling
units per acre), located on the west side of Haven Avenue,
north of the Southern Pacific Railroad - APN: 1076-301-17
BACKGROUND The tentative tract was approved by the Planning Commission
on January 27, 1988. A time extension and modification to the conditions
was approved on February 14, 1990, at which time the condition (No. 6 on
Exhibit "D") requiring the removal of Flood Zone A was added. The
developer is now requesting that the wording of that condition be revised
to 'allow FEHA approval prior to the issuance of building permits rather
than Final Hap approval. His request letter is attached as Exhibit "C".
ANALYSIS Staff met with the applicant and rev':.~ed the correspondence
between the applicant and FEHA. It appears that FEHA has extended the
study 1 imits well beyond the intent of the condition. The City Engineer
has agreed to assist the applicant by clarifying the scope of the
analysis for FEHA. We believe the proposed storm drainage improvements
in Haven Avenue will protect the subject property arid that FEHA requests
for i nformati on on upstream and across the street properties are
irrelevant, creating unnecessary delays in the processing of this
project.
Lots 1 thru 6, all backing onto Haven Avenue, are the only ones within
the current Flood Zone A. It is acceptable to proceed with construction
of houses on the 50 unaffected lots. The developer would like to
construct models on lots 2, 3, and 4, and is willing to accept occupancy
restrictions to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and City Attorney.
Staff feels this is a reasonable compromise which will allow the
developer to continue working with FEHA to satisfy their concerns without
unduly delaying the balance of the development.

RE-' TRACT 13759 - MODIRCATION TO APPROVED CONDITION REQUEST
Ladies and Gentleman:
As engineers representing the developer/owner of Tract 13759, Fu Mai Limited
Partnership, we are requesting a modification to an approved condition related to
the timing of a revision to the Zone "A" limits as shown on the current Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Said approved condition was added to the original
conditions of approval at the first extension of time headng as Resolution No. 90-21.
The existing approved conditions reads As follows:
It shall be the Developers responsibility to have the current FIRM
Zone A designation removeS from the project area. The Developers
Engineer shall prepare all necessary reports, plans,
hydrologic/hydraulic calculations, etc. Preliminary approval shall be
obtained from FEMA pdor to approval of the record map or issuance
of building permits, whichever occurs first. The designation shall be
officially removed prior to occupancy or improvement acceptance,
whichever occurs first.
The proposed wording of the meSdifieS condition is as follows:
It shall be the Developers responsibility to have the current FIRM
Zone A designation removeS from the project area. The Developers
Engineer shall prepare all necessary reports, plans,
hydrologic/hydraulic calculations, etc. A Conditional Letter of Map
Revision (CLOMR) shall be obtalneS from FEMA prior to the issuance
of building permits; except building permits may be issueS for model

homes, subject to occupancy restrictions to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer and City Attorney. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) shall
be issued by FEMA pdor to occupancy or improvement acceptance,
whichever occurs first. This condition shall apply to the lots affected
by a Zone A designation, Lots I through 6 inclusive.
We feel this request for a modification to the approved Condition is justified for the
following masons:
1. J.F. Davidson Associates, Inc. has been working with FEMA towards the
FIRM revision since the initial application and request on November 27, 1990
(a copy of all related correspondence is attached). There has been no
involvement or assistance from the City to date in this effort. The reason given
to us by the City's Engineering Division for a lack of involvement was based on
a policy which states that if a firm map revision benefits only the subject
project, the City has no obligation to assist the Developer in the request to
FEMA.
Conversely, if the map revision benerRs properties beyond the subject project
the City would become the lead agency in the FEMA request. The outcome of
our work to date with FEMA and the information they have required will cause
the maps "Zone A" to be removed from both sides of Haven Avenue from
Victoda Avenue on the north to Baseline Road on the south. This revised map
will benefit approximately 40 parcels currently within the existing "Zone A" (see
attached Exhibit "A"), besides the 6 proposed lots of Tract 13759. Based on
this information, we' are requesting your help by letting the final map record
while we finalize our work with FEMA.
2. The requested modification will pose no threat to person or property due to the
new conditions' continued restrictions on building and occupancy permit
issuance.
3. The continued coupling of final map approval with obtaining a Conditional
Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from FEMA puts the tentative map in
jeopardy of expiring. We have worked diligently over the last 10 months to
provide all necessary information requested by FEMA. The Developer has
spent close to $20,000 to date to obtain the CLOMR, more than twice that
amount to provide designs for the Haven Avenue Master Plan Storm Drain
along the projecrs frontage and off-site beneath the existing railroad tracks.

As you may be aware, the type of request we have made to FEMA has a
history of a lengthy processing time. Although we feel substantial progress
has been made to date toward our request, the total process could take as
much as 2 years. The modification of the condition, as requested, will provide
the Developer adequate time to complete the map revision while still
addressing the concams of the City.
If you have any questions regarding this request or require additional information,
please feel free to call me at (714) 686-0844, ext. 133.

CUP 91-34 - INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
December 11, 1991

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to locate its church within an
existing multi-tenant industrial .park (see Exhibit "B"). The
church is proposing to utilize 2,928 square feet for its facility
with approximately 860 square feet for the sanctuary. Worship
services are tentatively scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on
Sundays and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and bible studies
from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sundays, (see Exhibit "C"). Any
additional church functions will be held on weekdays after 6:00
p.m. or on weekends so as not to interfere with normal business
hours of the industrial park. Currently, the church has 25 adult
members. The sanctuary will initially have 40 seats. Office hours
will be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
B. Issues: The primary issues of locating this type of use within an
industrial setting are compatibility with surrounding businesses
and parking availability.
Cos~atibility with surroundin~ uses: There are a variety of uses
within this multi-tenant industrial complex including light
wholesale storage and distribution, small contractors' offices,
print shops, and office administrative uses (see Exhibit "E"). The
majority of these businesses operate during regular business hours
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The proposed
hours of operation for church activities will take place during off
peak hours in the evenings and on Sundays. The City has many
churches operating within industrial complexes with no reports of
any problems. Therefore, no compatibility problems associated with
this proposal are anticipated.
Parking: Parking.requirements for this type of use are based upon
potential seating capacity of the sanctuary area. A total of
24 parking spaces are required for this facility with 860 square
feet of sanctuary area. There are approximately 31 parking spaces
within 100 feet of the building which should be more than adequate
for the proposed use. Therefore, because of the church's hours of
operations at off-peak industrial hours and adequate parking for
the proposed facility, staff does not anticipate any parking
conflicts.
Sheriff Department: The Sheriff Department was notified of the
proposed project and expressed no concerns with the proposal.
~ancho Cucamo~ga Fire Distri~t: The Fire District reviewed the
proposed floor plan and indicated that based upon the project's
square footage, the use will be classified as a Public Assembly.
The maximum occupancy for the sanctuary area is 123 people based on
the proposed floor plan- Therefore, plans shall be submitted to
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-34 - INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
December 11, 1991
Page 3
the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District to verify compliance
with State Fire Marshall's requirements including but not limited
to exit signs, panic hardware, and emergency lighting.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Commission must make the following
findings before approving this application:
A. That the proposed use is in accordance with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the
Industrial Specific Plan Subarea in which the site is located.
B. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
C. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Industrial Specific Plan.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been
posted, and notices were sent to all property and business owners within
300 feet of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use
Permit 91-34 through the adoption of the attached Resolution.

BY: Nancy Fong, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 91-04 - MIKE SIMS - A request to conduct live
entertainment in conjunction with a restaurant and bar located at
10877 Foothill Boulevard in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan, as follows: disc jockey doing vocals, playing
records, and videos; live acts such as comedy, magic, dancing, and
fashion shows; live bands (5 members or less); lip syncing; special
promotions such as talent night contests, promoting sports teams,
major sports events through satellite TV, college bowl, and trivia
questions contests - APN: 208-351-75.
ABSTRACT: The applicant is requesting approval of an Entertainment Permit as
described above.
BACKGROUND: The site is developed for restaurant and night club use. The
building, which has been unoccupied for more than a year, originally housed
the Harry C's restaurant and night club and, subsequently, the Polo Grounds,
another restaurant and night club.
ANALYSIS:
A. Proposed Business and Entertainment Activities: The applicant intends to
operate the business as a restaurant and night club with full bar
service. Other services that will be available to patrons include: valet
parking, banquets for business engagements, wedding receptions, and
similar functions. The business will be open seven days a week for lunch
and dinner. The proposed entertainment activities will begin at 3 p.m.
and end at 4 a.m. everyday- There will be a cover charge to patrons on
those days when special events or performances are promoted- Besides a
management staff of six, the applicant is proposing to have a security
staff of ten people. On a slow night, a minimum of six security staff
will be on'site (see Exhibit "C"). The proposed entertainment activities
include the following:
1. Disc jockey doing vocals, playing records, and videos;
2- Live acts such as comedy, magic, dancing, and fashion shows;
3. Live bands ( 5 members or less );
4. Lip syncing; and

5. Special promotions for talent night contests, promoting sports teams,
major sports events through satellite TV, college bowl, and trivia
question contests.
B. Public Safety Issues:
1. Potential increase in public safety resources.
The proposed use is permitted in the Industrial Park District,
Subarea 7, of the Industrial Specific Plan. It is the proposed
entertainment activities that require the permit. In reviewing this
Entertainment Permit application, staff finds that this type of
business has the potential for increasing the need for service from
the Police Department, Fire Protection District, and Code Enforcement
staff. The increase in public safety resources was well documented
when Harry C's (the previous business) occupied the building.
Examples of public safety problems that were associated with Harry
C's included: loitering and disturbances in the parking lot after
hours, overcrowding and blocked fire exits, etc. In general, proper
management and security measures are the key to preventing the above-
noted problems.
The Police Department has reviewed this Entertainment Permit
application and indicated that the proposed use is similar to Harry
C's; however, the actual impact at this time is unknown.
The Fire District has also reviewed this application. They indicated
that the applicant should contact them to ensure the building meets
all the fire regulations prior to occupancy of the building and
commencement of use. Appropriate conditions of approval have been
placed in the attached Resolution.
The applicant proposes to have entertainment activities and remain open
with coffee and other non-alcoholic beverages until 4 a.m. The
Commission, in reviewing past Entertainment Permit applications, has
imposed a time limit of 2 a.m., which coincides with liquor license
limitations-
C. Parking and Landscaping: The site has adequate parking for the use. In
addition, the applicant proposes to provide valet parking service to the
patrons. This would alleviate and offset any parking problems on "heavy"
nights with special promotional entertainment events- The proposed
location for the valet parking area is at the west side of the building.
With regards to landscaping,. a routine inspection of the site indicated
that certain areas lacked trees, shrubs, and ground cover due to frost or
wind damage. The applicant has been alerted to this problem and has
agreed to work with staff in replacing all the required landscaping
materials. Such a condition of approval has been placed in the attached
Resolution.

Dear Mr. Buckingham;
Thank you for your substantial courtesy and time spent in
explaining the entertainment permit application procedures.
The City Of Rancho Cucamonga personnel I spoke with as well
as yourself are exemplary of government at lt's finest.
The proposed "Backwater's" Restaurant and Night Club intends
to be an upscale establishment with an elegant dining menu
and wine selections. There will be a full bar service as
well as entertainment in two different floor areas of this
12,000 plus square foot existing building. Valet parking
will be available upon request as this property is 2-1/4
acres in area. During inclement weather or Just the late
evening hours is Justice to provide valet parking,
especially to the elderly or handicapped.
The kitchen will be staffed under the direction of a
continental chef to provide a menu of fish, poultry,
seafood, red meats, and emphasis on CaJon & "Soul" food
selections. The luncheon menu will have hot and cold plates
for the expedited lunch patrons or extended more relaxed
type luncheons as the patron desires. The dinner menu will
be served from 5:00PM to 10:00PM daily with service
personnel in formal attire to enforce the elegant ambience
the owners desire to maintain.
There are two room sections suitable for meetings and
conference type dining at either lunch or dinner times.
There 4re dining areas range from 5 table sections to 15
BXHIB IT" A 1" BP 91-04
table sections to accommodate the smoking & non smoking as
well as choices of exterior view dining. The North dining
area is proposed for soft music by live 5 member groups for
dining and dancing pleasure on the parquet dance floor
proposed. The South cocktail lounge is proposed to
accommodate the after dinner patrons serving a full
cocktail selection, appetisers type entrees, and disk jockey
type or live entertainers. The hours proposed for the
entire facility are 12:00pm Lunch tO 4:00AM Late evening.
Cocktail service will end at 2:00AM With soft drinks and
coffee service until 4:00AM.
The owners have an entertainment provision background and
intend to supply the facility with established entertainers.
There are no well known or world renowned entertainers as
yet but are hopeful this will come to pass. The Cocktail'
Lounge has a stage and dance floor to accommodate disk
jockey type music to live 5 member groups and bands. The
owners have contacts for many vocal groups from jazz ~o
rock-N-Roll which will be regularly scheduled pending patron
appeal. Stand up comedians to lip-synching will be -
scheduled as well as sports events like Monday Night'
Football, Boxing Matches, World Series, and other television~
viewed events on the satellite T.V.. Special events other
than satellite T.V. events will be a proposed College Night
inviting would-be performers to perform their vocal,
musical, comedy, dance, or other discipline in the arts
form. There will be no performance allowed of a lewd or.
socially unacceptable nature that would cause embarrassment
to any patron. There will be a cover charge cost to patrons
of special events or special talent performances to cover
the cost of those acts as well a provide for security and
keeping patron counts to a reasonable figure in accordance
with building capacity as directed by The Fire Department
and Police Department.
In an overview the owners are entertainment provision
specialists and will contract with professional management
firms to provide dining, cocktail, valet, and security
disciplines necessary to establish this upscale facility.
All Cities Permit Services has contracted with the owners on
the application to represent them as a group for all
discussions necessary to achieve proper permits for
operations. Should you have further inquires or concerns

BACKWATER'S ENTERTAINMENT
Entertainment shall consist of a variety of activities.
This permit along with the Liquor License and food itself
will be the heart of our operation. Our request is to be
allowed the opportunity to thrive not just to subsist. The
proposed entertainment is necessary in order to insure our
success. Below are listed some of the activities in which
we will engage:
1. DISC JOCKEYS; will be utilized for live vocals, recorded
music and video play.
2. SATELLITE T.V. VIEWING; we shall be offering a "sporting"
atmosphere for our sports fans. Major sports events
suchas: boxing, football, basketball, baseball, Super Bowls,
playoff, et.al. will be shown in our bar/lounge area.
3. LIVE ACTS; (professional & amateur); these acts will gen-
erally consist of five members or less. They will range
from a single comedian to a jazz or another. During our
lunch hour we are tentatively planning on having a jazz
pianist play regularly in the dining room.
For better understanding here is a list of what our proposed
entertainment will include:
Comedians Lipsynching
Dancers (Groups) Fashion Shows
Magicians Live Bands
·
These and similar activities will form our entertainment.
Backwater's will not engage in the promotion of distasteful
events. Absolutely no Wet T-Shirt, Mud-Wrestling or Female
Boxing will occur at Backwater's.
4. SPECIAL PROMOTIONS; will include celebrity hosts and the
Live Acts forementioned. At this point nothing has been
scheduled, but we anticipate having various bands (Jazz,
Reggae, Rock & Roll, Country Western, etc.) perform dur-
ing the week. Listed below are a few examples:
a) Happy Hour; offering drink specials and complimentary
buffet to our customers primarily after the work day.
b) Dollar Drink Night; designed to offer drink specials
to our night club patrons.
c) Ladies Night Out; specifically designed to cater to
our female patrons. Admission for ladies will be free
and we will have complimentary food, champagne and
roses if our budget allows.
d) Talent Night (amateur) we will host a contest awarding
prizes for the best talent of the night. The talent
will engage primarily in singing, dancing and comedy
etc.
e) College Night; designed to attract the college crowd.
We will cater to this age groups musical preference
and include other promotions simultaneously. Pro-
motions such as talents contests, college bowl and
trivia questions
These promotions are a true sampling of what Backwater's
will be offering its clientele.
Not listed above are the normal business engagements and
services which we will provide. Business meetings, banquets,
wedding receptions, company parties and organizational func-
tions are other avenues which we will take to provide services
to the community. Listed below are services offered to enhance
Backwater's standing within the community:
Valet Parking FloWer Girls
Photographers VIP Section
Bathroom Attendants Limousine Service
LATE NIGHT COMPLIMENTARY FOOD SERVICE AND BUFFET
It is our goal at Backwater's to attract the "discriminating crowd."
We look forward to creating an atmosphere which will be consistent
with our exclusive restaurant and our fine surroundings in the
City of Rancho Cucamonga.

BACKWATER'S SECURITY
Backwater's will be an exclusive restaurant and after dinner
dancing establishment. We intend to be among the most fre-
quented and respected places in Rancho Cucamonga if not South-
ern California.
The atmosphere at Backwater's will lend itself to a high degree
of clientele. A dress code will be enforced and staff members
will adorn tuxedo like attire.
After. establishing the type of atmosphere we are going to cre-
ate, we shall now elaborate on our security. The security
personnel will vary due to the attendance and entertainment for
the evening. Our security staff is comprised of ten persons.
Staffing on "light: nights will include six security personnel
and on :heavy" nights a total of ten. The night club manager,
will be responsible for security practices and will be assisted
by a Security Manager.
Security, as it pertains to the night club activities, will be
more than adequate. We are not like previous operators at this
site, we are purchasing the "Polo Grounds" and plan on being
here a long time. To protect our investment, reputation and
earning potential we will institute a security program that will
probably surpass your requirements.
Management personnel on duty will consist of four to six people
for night club activities. During the evening hours the General
Manager, Restaurant Manager, Night Club Manager and their re-
spective staffs willbe on duty. Typically two or more owners
will also be present.
MANAGEMENT SECURITY
General Manager Security Manager
Restaurant Manager (2) Internal Personnel (5)
Night Club Manager External Personnel (2)
Security Manager
As personnel will be directly correlated to attendance it would
be impossible to give you the exact number of security personnel
on a given night. We will project our security needs to enhance
the appeals of our club. It is our intent to garnish the favor
of our clientele, business organizations and the fine City of
Rancho Cucamonga.

SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 91-01
- CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend the Street System
Map of the Etiwanda Specific Plan to change the portion of Miller
Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue from a collector to
a secondary arterial. Staff recommends issuance of a Negative
Dec1 aration
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: Hiller Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and East Avenue
currently is a substandard street with a pavement width varying from 22 to 28
feet with no curb and gutter. It is currently designated as a two lane
collector street with a curb to curb width of 44 feet within a right-of-way of
66 feet by the Etiwanda Specific Plan (refer to Exhibits "B" and "D"). This
designation is in conflict with the General Plan, which shows it as a four
lane secondary arterial with a curb to curb width of 64 feet within a right-
of-way of 88 feet. This amendment will bring the Specific Plan into
conformance with the General Plan. Revised Etiwanda Specific Plan Figures are
shown on Exhibits "C" and "E".
The existing traffic volume on this segment of street is currently low, 430
average daily traffic (ADT). However, the City's traffic model forecasts a
volume of 15,000 ADT in the year 2010, which exceeds the capacity of a
collector street; therefore requiring the next larger City standard street
which is a secondary arterial.
A four lane width is consistent with the existing portion on the east side of
East Avenue in the City of Fontana and the portion on the west side of
Etiwanda Avenue extending to Archibald Avenue.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has completed Parts I and II of the Initial
Study and has found no significant environmental impacts as a consequence of
this amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: Before approving the Specific Plan Amendment, the
Planning Commission must determine that the amendment will not be detrimental
to adjacent properties or cause significant environmental impacts. In
addition, the proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the General
Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan.

SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
89-03 - U.S- HOME CORPORATION - A request to amend certain
development standards within the Etiwanda Specific Plan as
described below:
1) To allow single family detached residential development
within the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling
units per acre) utilizing Basic Development Standards;
and
2) To reduce the minimum average lot size from 10,000
square feet to 8,900 square feet within the Low Medium
Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) under
Basic Development Standards; and
3) To reduce the minimum average lot size from 10,000
square feet to 8,500 square feet within the Medium
Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
under Basic Development Standards.
Related File: Environmental Assessment and Vesting Tentative
Tract 14211.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of these amendments is to allow "conventional"
single family detached residential development with lot sizes comparable
to the Low Residential zone of the Development Code within the Low
Medium and Medium Residential zones of the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
The applicant (U-S- Home Corporation) formally submitted this
application concurrently with their application for Vesting Tentative
Tract 14211. It has been the intent of staff to process this request
concurrently with the proposed project, hence, the application has never
been. reviewed by the Planning Commission since the tentative map
application was just recently deemed complete.
On November 20, 1991, the City Council recommended that all of the
property owned by U.S- Home Corporation' be designated Low-Medium
Residential, hence, making parts I and 3 from the amendment description
above independent of the related tentative map proposal; only part 2
from the above description is relative to their subdivision proposal.

ANALYSIS:
A. General The applicant is requesting three amendments to the
Etiwanda Specific Plan as described above (see Exhibit "A").
Specifically, the amendments would allow this applicant to process
a 226 lot single family detached subdivision (Vesting Tentative
Tract 14211) on 81.2 acres of land with an average lot size of
approximately 8,685 square feet and a net density of 2.8 dwelling
units per acre- The tentative map has been designed to comply with
the proposed amendments. The three specific facets of the
amendment are analyzed as follows:
1. Allowing single family detached development in the Medium
Residential District, Basic Development Standards:
Currently, single family detached dwellings and duplexes are
only allowed in this zone when utilizing the Optional
Development Standards within the Etiwanda Specific Plan (see
Exhibit "B"). The intent of the Optional Development
Standards is to allow development at the upper end of the
density ranges with minimal lot size and dimension
restrictions in trade for usable, common open space areas that
will benefit the residents within a particular project.
However, the Etiwanda Specific Plan Development standards as
currently written do not allow the developer the option of
incorporating the required open space exclusively in private
yards in the Medium Residential zone for single family or any
type of development; minimum of 30 percent common open space
and 40 percent total open space is required under the Optional
Development Standards in the Medium Residential zone. The
applicant contends, and staff agrees, that single family
development with common open space facilities, which are
typically maintained by a Homeowners Association and require
written Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CC&R's) is not
desirable to all potential homeowners in the anticipated price
range. In addition, many homeowners prefer to have larger
private yards for their individual use and enjoyment-
Therefore, the applicant concludes that the option to build
under the Basic Development Standards should be allowed in the
Medium Residential development district. Staff agrees that
the standards should be more flexible to allow the developer
the option of building a conventional single family
subdivision under basic standards or a smaller lot subdivision
with common open space under optional standards,
If this portion' of the amendment request is recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission, then Part 3 of this
amendment request should be considered in conjunction with
this recommendation. Again, this portion of the request is
now independent of the related project-

2. Reducin~ the minimum average lot size from 10,000 to 8,900
square feet within the Low Medium Residential District, Basic
Development Standards:
In keeping with the goals and objectives for a more rural and
sensitively planned atmosphere within the Etiwanda Specific
Plan area, the adopted Basic Development Standards are
intended to allow development in the lower half of each
density range. Specifically, the established minimum average
lot size of 10,000 square feet in the Low Medium District
yields a maximum density of 4.36 dwelling units per acre for
conventional single family residential development ( see
Exhibit "C"} with a Low-Medium Residential density range of
4-8 dwelling units per acre- If the minimum average lot size
were reduced to 8,900 square feet in this zone, then the
maximum density would rise to 4.89 dwelling units per acre for
this type of development; still well within the lower half of
the density range. Also, it should be noted that the Basic
Development Standards within the Development Code have been
established with a much smaller minimum average lot size in
the Low Medium Residential District (refer to Exhibit "D"),
6,000 square feet. For comparison, a maximum density of 7.26
dwelling units per acre could be generated in areas governed
by the Development Code, significantly higher than the
proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment maximum of 4.89
dwelling units per acre. Therefore, if this portion of the
amendment were recommend for approval as proposed, the general
intent for lower densities and a less suburban atmosphere
would, in staffs opinion, still be intact.
Please note that the applicant's request was designed to meet
the needs of their specific project prior to the City
Council's action of November 20, 1991. Now that the entire
site is designated Low-Medium Residential, the applicant would
need to have the minimum average lot size reduced to 8,685
square feet or lower. If the Commission feels that an even
smaller minimum average lot size is appropriate (example:
8,500 square foot minimum average may allow a maximum of 5.12
units per acre, 8,000 square feet, 5.45 units per acre), then
the Resolution for this amendment may be revised
accordingly. It is staff's opinion that an 8,500 square foot
minimum average lot size is appropriate in keeping with the
general intent of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and will allow a
slightly higher density, yet well below the mid-point for
established range.
3. Reducing the minimum average lot size from 10,000 square feet
to 8,500 s~uare feet within the Medium Residential District,
Basic Development Standards:
PLANNING COMMISSION .STAFF REPORT
ESPA 89-03 - U.S. HOME CORPORATION
December 11, 199 1
Page 4
Assuming single family development under Basic Development
Standards in the Medium Residential District is recou~nended,
(see item 1 ) there would be potential density of 4.36 dwelling
units per acre with the current lot size standards, well below
the Medium Residential District density range of 8-14 dwelling
units per acre (see Exhibit "C"). If the applicant's request
for a minimum average lot size of 8,500 square feet was
recommended, a maximum density of 5.12 dwelling units per acre
is possible, still well below the minimum density for this
zone. Conversely, density of 8 units per acre would yield an
average lot size of approximately 5,445 square feet - In
staff ' s opinion, it would not be appropriate to allow
5,445 average square foot lots in the Etiwanda Area for the
purposes of allowing "conventional" single family subdivisions
at 8 units per acre since the density range for the Medium
Residential District was established for multiple family
development ( condominiums, townhouses ) or small lot single
family development with ample common open space;
"conventional" single family subdivisions were not anticipated
since property owners typically prefer to maximize density.
An 8,000 square foot minimum average, which would generate a
potential maximum density of 5.45 units per acre, is
appropriate because it would allow more conventional single
family development at a density that meets the intent and
purposes of the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
Again, this portion of the amendment request is now
independent of the related tentative map, based on the action
of the City Council on November 20, 1991.
B. Cumulative Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study
has been completed by the applicant. Staff has completed Part II
of the Environmental Checklist and found no significant adverse
environmental impacts will occur as a result of these amendments.
The issue for consideration is an anticipated reduction of the
proposed land use intensity; therefore, staff believes the impact
of the type of development allowed under the revised standards
should not be more significant than originally described in the
environmental review for the Etiwanda Specific Plan and General
Plan. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a
Negative Declaration would be in order.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Comission to approve the
proposed amendments, the following facts for findings must be made:
A. The proposed amendments will not have a significant impact on the
environment as evidenced by the conclusions and findings of the
Initial Study Part II-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
ESPA 89-03 - U.S. HOME CORPORATION

B. The proposed amendments will promote and further implement the
goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan by helping to
preserve the unique historical nature of the Etiwanda area through
lower densities-
C. The proposed amendments are consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and General Plan.
D. The proposed amendments would not be materially injurious or
detrimental to adjacent properties ·
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in

Re: Tentative Tract No. 14211 - Amendment to the Etiwanda
Specific Plan
Dear Mr. Hayes:
U.S. Home Corporation on behalf of the Etiwanda Development
Corporation provides this letter as an update regarding our
letter of August 16, 1989, requesting an Amendment to the
Etiwanda Specific Plan.
Our request regarding single family dwellings in the M Zone,
Item No. 1 in the August 16 letter is the same. Regarding Item
No. 2, we are requesting an Amendment to the Specific Plan to
allow an overall minimum average lot area of 8600 square feet
for Tentative Tract No. 14211. We are making this request in
consideration of the upscaling of development in the M Zone, and
the loss of usable land created by the requirement to provide a
regional detention basins for the entire Etiwanda Specific Plan
area.
Please note that development density for this project is
only 2.8 dwelli~ts per acre. Significantly less than the
allowable 4-8 dwelll~ per acre range for the LM Zone, and 8-14
dwellings per acre range for the M Zone, as outlined in the
specific Plan.

RE: Amendment to the Etiwanda Specific Plan
Dear Mr. Coleman:
U.S. Home Corporation On behalf of the Etiwanda Development Corp.
request that an amendment be made to the Etiwanda Specific Plan
on the following items:
1. The footnote on page 5-5 be amended to allow
single family dwelling in the Medium Zone.
Very little M zone exist in the Etiwanda
Specific Plan and the.areas that are within
this zone are surrounded by single family
homes. We feel that this change would serve
to compliment existing surrounding zones.
2. The Basis Development Standards table be amended
to reduce the minmum average lot area from 10,000
s.q. feet to 8,200 square feet. This would not
re4uce the minimum lot size but would allow a
smaller average than that on the LM zone.
Enclosed to process this amendment is a check in the amount of
$3,247.40 and a copy of the project and surrounding areas
detailing current zoing.
If additional information is necessary to process this amendment
to the Etiwanda Specific Plan, please call me at (714) 944-0761.

Project Site - Low-Medium and Medium Residential, Park, and
proposed elementary school
North - Low-Medium and Medium Residential
South - Medium Residential
East - Medium Residential, Commercial, and City of Fontana
West - Low-Medium and Medium Residential
E. Site Characteristics: The 82 acre site is bounded partially by
East Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, and Etiwanda Avenue. Miller
Avenue bisects the site in the northern-third of the project and
the Devore (I-15) Freeway forms the project boundary near the
northwest corner of the site. Several windrows of Blue Gum
Eucalyptus trees (many of which have been infested by the
Eucalyptus Borer Beetle) exist on the property. Existing
residences fronting Miller Avenue are east and west of the project
boundaries. A 450-foot wide utility easement is adjacent to and
east of a required interim detention basin which is proposed south
of the residential lots. The site slopes north to south at
roughly 3 percent. The site is void of any structures and contains
remnants of a former grape vineyard.
BACKGROUND: This project was formally submitted on May 17, 1989.
Following formal submittal, the application was deemed incomplete on
five separate occasions- As a courtesy to the developer, the incomplete
application was reviewed by the Grading, Technical, and Design Review
Committees in October of 1989, with the provision that the project would
again be reviewed by the Committees once deemed complete. On April 24,
1991, the Planning Commission granted the applicant's request for an
additional 150 days (until the September 25, 1991 Planning Commission
meeting) to complete the application and receive formal review and
recommendations from all the advisory committees and the Park and
Recreation Commission. At the time the project was to be formally
reviewed by the advisory committees (the week of September 2-6, 1991),
the project application had not yet been deemed complete; therefore, all
the committees again reviewed the project as a courtesy to the developer
during that week. During the 150 days between the April 24 and
September 25, 1991 meetings, the application was never deemed complete
by staff. On September 25, 1991, the Planning Commission denied the
project without prejudice because of the incomplete status of the
project application- This decision was timely appealed to the City
Council; however, it was accepted as complete (October 30, 1991) prior
to the appeal hearing; thereby making the appeal request moot- The
project was then scheduled for Commission review within 50 days of
acceptance of a complete application, as required by the Subdivision Map
Act.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to subdivide and construct a
226-unit single family detached subdivision on the subject
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VTT 14211 - U.S. HOME CORP.
December 11, 1991
Page 3
property. Five floor plans are proposed that range in size from
1,988 to 3,378 square feet. All plans are two-story with the
exception of the smallest floor plan, which is a one-story
design. The 1,988 square foot residence is offered with a two-car
side-on or a three-car detached garage. All other houses, with the
exception of the largest model, are proposed with three-car front-
on or side-on garages. The 3,378 square foot residence is proposed
with a three-car front-on garage only. All house footprints are
reversible and a minimum of four elevations per footprint have been
'furnished by the architect to meet the Etiwanda Specific Plan
requirements for unit variety. Over 50 percent of the garages are
plotted in a side-on or detached condition to provide more
interesting streetscapes as intended by the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
In addition to the numbered lots, a 10.57 acre lettered lot is
shown on the south portion of the project site for use as an
interim detention basin and future park site- An interim basin is
required to handle excess runoff created by this project and future
projects in the immediate area. The future park site has been
proposed by the developer to meet the Etiwanda Specific Plan and
· General Plan requirements for a park site in the block bounded by
Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda, Miller, and East Avenues. The
park issue is discussed in more detail below.
Lot sizes (not including the lettered lot) range in size from 7,200
to 16,260 square feet with an average lot size of 8,685 square
feet. Lots within the areas currently zoned Low-Medium Residential
average 8,986 square feet and lots in the Medium Residential
district average 8,500 square feet-
· t should be noted that it is the developer's intention to have the
map reviewed and approved as a vesting map- If the Commission does
approve this map, the vesting rights will protect the developer
from complying with future changes to the Development Code and the
Etiwanda Specific Plan. All recommended Conditions of Approval in
the Resolutions of approval will still have full force and effect.
B. Issues: When analyzing the proposed subdivision map and design
review thereof, staff notes several areas of concern for
consideration by the Planning Commission. They can be analyzed as
follows:
1. Land Use: In conjunction with this tentative subdivision map,
the applicant is proposing Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment
89-03 for the purposes of allowing "conventional" single family
detached development in the Medium Residential zone of the
Etiwanda Specific Plan with smaller minimum average lot areas
than currently required- In order to accomplish the
applicant's objective for approving the tentative map as
proposed, three specific standards within the Etiwanda Specific
Plan were identified for revision. (Please refer to the staff
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

report for Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 89-03, which
preceded this item, for the specific amendment requests and
related issues-) The subdivision has been designed to be in
conformance with all of the proposed amendments. Therefore, if
all facets of the amendments are approved, as recommended by
staff, then the issues of non-conformity with current
development standards is not a concern- However, if any or all
parts of the Specific Plan Amendment are denied, the Planning
Comission must deny this project on the basis of inconsistency
with the Etiwanda Specific Plan development standards.
2. Park Development Issues:
On Thursday, November 21, 1991, the Park and Recreation
Comission reviewed Vesting Tentative Tract 14211 with regards
to park dedication obligation. Three options were presented to
the Commission which included the dedication of parkland, the
payment of in-lieu fees, or a combination of both. All three
options also included a stipulation that the on-site drainage
area being dedicated in fee to the City should be reserved for
future parkland once the basin is no longer needed for drainage
purposes-
U.S. Home Corporation representatives were present at the
meeting to discuss the project with the Commission in detail.
After carefully reviewing each of the options, the Commission
chose a modified Option 1 for recommendation to City Council.
This option includes the dedication of 2.33 acres (3 acres of
parkland per 1,000 population) of unencumbered parkland to the
north and contiguous with the 10 - 6 acres designated for
drainage purposes on the Tentative Map. In addition, the
Commission requested that the area being dedicated in fee for
drainage purposes should also be reserved for future park
purposes once it is no longer required for drainage- The
Commission also requested that staff work with the Engineering
division to determine if any of the area currently shown as
future dedication for drainage purposes on the Tentative Map is
not needed, and thus not dedicated, could be offered in fee to
meet the park obligation in place of the 2.33 unencumbered
acres being requested, thus allowing better access from the
parksite to the utility easements for future trail purposes.
Please note that the current Vesting Tentative Map proposal
does not include the 2.33 acre parcel for park purposes.
Therefore, staff has included a condition within the attached
Resolution of Approval for the Vesting Tentative Map to show
the parkland on the Final Map and any subsequent replotting of
lots and reconfiguration of streets for review and approval of
the Design Review Committee and, if necessary, the Planning.
Commission, prior to recordation of the Final Map. However, if
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VTT 14211 - U.S. HOME CORP.
December 11, 1991
Page 5
the Commission concurs that this condition cannot be adequately
enforced after approving the Vesting Tentative Map, then the
Commission should deny Vesting Tentative Tract 14211 on those
grounds.
3. En~ineerin~ Issues: As noted earlier, this project was denied
by the Planning Commission on September 25, 1991, because the
project's drainage report was inadequate- As stated that
night, the developer's engineer did submit the report to the
City on September 18, 1991; however, that did not provide
sufficient review time for staff to properly evaluate the
report for the September 25 Planning Commission meeting-
Subsequently, Engineering staff reviewed the report and found
it sufficiently complete to allow the project review to
proceed-
After accepting the report as complete, staff received a letter
from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) stating that they
objected to the use of their easement as a maintenance road and
as a fill slope for the proposed drainage detention basin.
Staff feels there are sufficient alternatives available to
resolve this issue in the plan check phase of the project. It
'appears that the realigned storm drains proposed for the
developments will be considerably more expensive ($4,900,000)
than those shown on the City's adopted Master Plan
($3,600,000), an increase of $1,300,000. The conditions
require that this development absorb the additional cost or
approve that the additi(mal cost are justified during the
drainage master plan modification process to be completed prior
to recordation of the final map.
The developer has objected to several of the recommended
Engineering Division Conditions of Approval relating to street
improvements- A listing of the recommended conditions and the
reasoning supporting them is as follows:
a. Miller Avenue:
1) Width (four versus two lanes) - The developer contends
that only two lanes are needed. Staff has recommended
that it be four lanes. The reasoning for this
recommendation is contained in the Etiwanda Specific
Plan Amendment 91-01, also on tonight's agenda-
2) Amount of Improvements - This condition would require
that Miller Avenue be constructed full width from
Etiwanda Avenue to the project's east boundary which
includes some off-site improvements. Staff has been
requiring full-width streets, which extend off-site to
a logical ending point, since the concern for safety
and public convenience was expressed by the City
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VTE 14211 - U.S. HOME CORP.
December 11, 199 1
Page 6
Council and Planning Co~nission a couple of years
ago. This policy is reflected in the City Council's
adopted Improvement Implementation Policies for the
Terra Vista and Victoria Planned Communities. The
developer will be eligible for fee credit and
reimbursement for the middle 38 feet of the street
from the City Transportation Development Fund and
reimbursement from adjacent development for the
remaining off-site improvements.
b. Etiwanda Avenue - The condition would require this project
to construct the east-half of this street from "A" Street
to Miller Avenue, which includes improvements off-site on
the parcel to the north. The reasons for this requirement
are similar to those for Miller Avenue in that this street
is the main access route for the development. Full-width
construction was not required because there are basic
existing improvements on the west side of the street. The
developer will be eligible for fee credits and
reimbursements similar to those available for Miller
Avenue-
c- Etiwanda/Miller Intersection - This intersection is a part
of the Etiwanda/Miller access route to the site. The
development has been required to reconstruct the east-half
of this intersection including sufficient width for left-
turn lanes and sidewalk in the north parkway. This will
require some reconstruction of the retaining walls under
the freeway bridge. The developer has stated he feels this
work will cost $2,000 000; however, he has not provided any
justification. Staff feels it could cost as little as
$200,000. The developer can request a reimbursement
agreement to recover a proportionate portion of the cost of
the improvements to the bridge retaining wall from future
developments of adjacent property.
d. "A" and "AA" Streets - These streets are required to be
constructed full-width along the project's boundaries,
which is consistent with the current City policy requiring
full-width street improvements. The developer will be
eligible for half-cost reimbursement for the off-site
portion from the future development of the adjacent
property-
4- Design Issues/Design Review Co~nittee: As noted in the
Background Section of this report, the Design Review Committee
reviewed this project (October 19, 1989 and September 5, 1991)
as a courtesy to the development team- At these meetings, the
Committee recommended numerous changes to the site plan and
building elevations (see Exhibit "J")-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VTT 14211 - U.S. HOME CORP-
December 11, 1991
Page 7
It should be noted t~at the purpose of these two courtesy
review meetings was to allow the developer an opportunity to
receive direction from the Design Review Committee, primarily
in conjunction with the major design issues mentioned by
staff. At these meetings, time did not permit discussion of
other secondary design issues and design policy issues- Please
refer to Exhibit "J" for a breakdown of the specific design
issues and recommendations thereof-
In the time between the most recent courtesy review (September
5, 1991) and the Design Review Committee meeting of November
21, 199 1, the applicant did not revise. the plans for formal
review by the Design Review Committee. On November 21, 1991,
the Committee (Tolstoy, Melcher, Coleman) formally reviewed and
forwarded the project to the full Planning Commission with the
recommendations listed in the attached action agenda ( see
Exhibit "J")- The Committee noted that the issue of the rigid,
grid-pattern subdivision layout could not be conditioned
because it meant redesigning the entire tract.
Since the November 21, 1991, Design Review Committee meeting,
the applicant chose not to revise the project plans.
Therefore, staff has conditioned all of the previous Design
Review Committee comments and included them'in the Vesting
Tentative Tract Map or Design Review Resolutions of Approval
for the project, whichever is applicable. If the full Planning
Commission feels that any of the conditions contained in the
Resolutions of Approval cannot be addressed following approval
of this Vesting Tentative Map (i.e., "~rid" street pattern),
then the project should be denied on those ~rounds.
C · Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee
reviewed the project on three separate occasions, twice as a
courtesy to the development team (October 17, 1989, and September
4, 1991) and formally on November 20, 1991. At the November 20
meeting, the Committee recommended conditions of approval, which
have been incorporated into the attached resolutions for the
Commission ' s consideration ·
D. Grading Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the project on
three separate occasions, twice as a courtesy to the developer, and
formally on November 19, 199 1. At that meeting, the Grading
Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the full
Planning Commission for review and action.
E. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been
completed by the applicant. Staff had completed Part II of the
Environmental Checklist and found that although the project could
have a significant effect on the environment in several areas,
including hydrology, traffic, tree removal, public services, and
aesthetics, there will not be a significant effect on the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VTE 14211 - U.S. HOME CORP-
December 11, 1991
Page 8
environment in this case because of the mitigation measures which
have been included as Conditions of Approval within the attached
Resolutions. Therefore, if after reviewing the proposed mitigation
measures specified within the Resolution, the Commission concurs
with staff's findings, then issuance of a mitigated negative
declaration would be in order.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the
project, the following Findings must be made:
A. Vesting Tentative Tract Map:
1- The Tentative Tract is consistent with the General Plan and the
Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
2. The design or improvement of the Tentative Tract is consistent
with the General Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development
proposed; and
4. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause
'substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans
and wildlife and their habitat; and
5- The Tentative Tract is not likely to cause serious public
health problems; and
6. The design of the Tentative Tract will not conflict with any
easement required by the public at large, now of record, for
access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
B. Design Review
1. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of
the General Plan; and
2. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of
the Etiwanda Specific Plan and purposes of the district in
which the site is located; and
3. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the
applicable provisions of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
4. That the proposed design, together with the conditions
applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.

CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the project has been posted,
and notices have been sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the
project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Comission receive all public
testimony related to the project- If, after receiving public testimony,
the Commission concurs with staff that a number of the unresolved issues
cannot be adequately conditioned without modifying the entire project
and the required Facts for Findings cannot be made, then staff would
recommend that the Commission deny Vesting Tentative Tract 14211, and
the Design Review thereof, through adoption of the attached Resolutions
of Denial- However, if the Commission can support the project with the
conditions contained in the attached Resolutions of Approval (including
the Facts for Findings contained therein), adoption of the attached
Resolutions of Approval and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration
would be appropriate-

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT 14211 - U.S. HOMES
- A proposed tentative tract map and design review for the development
of 226 single family lots on 81.2 acres of land within the Etiwanda
Specific Plan in the Medium and Low-Medium Residential development
districts (8-14 dwelling units per acre, respectively), located on the
east side of Etiwanda Avenue south of the Devore Freeway and west of
East Avenue - APN: 227-231-01, 09, 12, 16, and 32; 227-191-15, 227-181-
24; and 227-261-11. Related File: Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 89-
03.
Abstract:
The purpose of tonight's meeting is to allow the development team the
opportunity to receive formal direction from the Committee. On two
previous occasions, the project was given "courtesy review" by the
Committee prior to the application being deemed complete by staff
( October 17, 1989 and September 5, 199 1 ). Since the most recent
courtesy review, the project has been deemed complete by staff.
Please note that plans were mot routed to the Ceemittee Members fur this
project; the pla~s to he reviewe~ at this meeting are identical to those
reviewed at the m~st recent ~urtes~ review of September 5, 3991.
The pro~ect and related Specific Plan Amendment have been scheduled for
the Plannin~ Commission meetinV of DecemBer 11, 1991 to meet the time
limits established by the Subdivision Map Act.
As with previous meetings, the discussion tonight should focus primarily
on the major design issues. If time permits, then any secondary design
and policy issues of question may be discussed. Please refer to the
attached Design Review Committee Ac;tion Agenda comments from the
September 5, 1991 meeting to prepare for this agenda item.
Design Review Oomtttee Actio~:
Members Present: Peter Tolstoy, John Melcher, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Steve Hayes
The Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the full
Planning Commission with the remaining unresolved issues and/or
potential conditions of approval as follows:
1. The site plan should be redesi~ed to avoid the "grid' pattern
proposed throughout the project. Of primary concern was the area
south of Miller Avenue.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
TT 14211 - U · S · HOMES
NOVEMBER 21, 1991
Page 2
2- Cul-de-sac streets "D", "K" and "M" should be shortened in length
to allow lots at the ends of the cul-de-sacs to "fan", thereby
avoiding side/rear yard relationships between lots. Any other lots
which side-on the rear of other lots should be redesigned. The
Committee should review these modifications prior to recordation of
the final map.
3. The grading plan should be revised to be more sensitive to the
natural grade in areas where rear and side yards incorporate large
retaining walls in combination with steep slopes. Staff should
review the areas of concern prior to issuance of any grading
permits.
4. In order to address the CommitteE:'s concern of similarity of form
of the side and rear of the proposed homes, streetscape plans of
the project as seen from Miller and Etiwanda Avenues should be
provided for further review of the: Comittee.
5. The masonite siding should be wrapped entirely around all of the
proposed units. Also, the selected base element (rock or brick, as
applicable ) should be continued to a logical point on each
residence (return wall, chimney) as to not appear as a "tacked-on"
element.
6- The design of the sound attenuation wall along the Devore Freeway
should be reviewed by the Design Review Co~nittee, prior to
issuance of any permits or recordation of the final map, whichever
occurs first-
7. The Miller Avenue and "A" Street 'walls should be redesigned to add
more interest to the streetscape by varying the wall setback with
transitions, providing more substantial pilasters ( 24-inches
square ) and decorative capping, to the satisfaction of the
Committee.
8. More attention to architectural detailing (i.e., variety of garage
door design, shutters, louvers, material use, etc.) should be
incorporated into the building elevations. The specific
modifications should be reviewed by the Design Review Committee,
prior to issuance of building permits.
9- The secondary entry monument should be redesigned to provide a
landscape area between the sidewalk and the sign walls. Also, a
cap should be provided on the wall and the pilasters that is
aesthetically consistent with the monument design.

10. The use of decorative bardscape materials within all driveways
should be provided for further review of the Committee, prior to
issuance of building permits.
11. Two-story homes should be avoided on all corner lots, particularly
on those adjacent to the perimeter streets. Any replotting of
units should be reviewed by the Design Review Committee, prior to
the issuance of any permits.
12. Homes facing perimeter streets and interior streets should be
oriented so that the flat wall (non-entry or garage side) does not
face the street. All side and rear elevations along these streets
should also be substantially upgraded with additional siding and
roof, fascia, and rafter detailing, to the satisfaction of the
Design Review Committee. .
13. A minimum 4-inch cap should be used on the perimeter walls. The
stone columns should also be upSfaded in design by extending them
beyond the wall height. A stone cap similar to the entry
monumentation walls should be utilized.
14. The perimeter wall along Etiwanda Avenue should be kept visually
open where cul-de-sac streets side onto i~. Wrought iron fencing
should be utilized if the acoustical study permits it. Paved
pedestrian walks should be provided to the Etiwanda sidewalk. The
pad elevations along Etiwanda Avenue should be kept as low as
possible.
15. Siding and additional detailing should be used more extensively on
all side and rear elevations. Additional upgrading of all street
facing elevations including siding and band boards on the
second-story of two-story units and additional roof, fascia, and
rafter detailing, should be reviewed and approved by the Design
Review Co-~ittee, prior to the issuance of building permits.
Porches should be expanded in size for most of the homes. The
porches should be extended in length along garages or living areas.
17. Chimney detailing should be' revis. ed so that the entire chimney is
constructed of stone or brick.
18. Design alternatives on the side elevation of Plan 3378 should be
explored for further review of the Committee. Additional stone
work was recommended for the front: elevation of Plan 3234.
19. Walls should terminate at least 5 feet behind all sidewalks or at
side yard return fencing locations.

20- A future stub street connection should be studied by the
Development team to insure future access for the parcels now zoned
"LM" to the west.
21. Additional lots should have a larger (10-~2-foot) side yard setback
on the garage sides to allow for vehicular access to the rear
yard. These specific revisions should be -reviewed by the Design
Review Committee, prior to the issuance of any permits.
22. A greater variety of front yard setbacks should be provided to the
satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.-
23. Rear and side elevations of units exposed to perimeter streets
should have varied roof designs and detailing to provide a pleasant
streetscape view and a high design quality to all elevations to the
satisfaction of the Committee.
24. Floor plans with 2-car garages and benus rooms and/or offset third
garage door space should be utilized to mitigate the concern of
garages dominating the streetscape.
25. Field stone should be native rock. Other forms of stone may be
manufactured products. '
26. A neutral color should be selected for all side yard return walls
for review by the Committee.
27. Accent naturals (i.e., rock, brick) should be utilized to a greater
extent on all side and rear elevations to the satisfaction of the
Design Review Committee.
28. A landscape palette should be selected that is sensitive to
microclimatic conditions, will not create maintenance and safety'
hazards. Staff should review the specific landscape design in
conjunction with the Xeriscape Ordinance, prior to the issuance of
any permits.

AND 227-261-11.
A. Recitals.
(i) U.S. Home Corporation has filed an application for the approval
of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 14211 as described in the title of this
Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Vesting Tentative
Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
(ii) On April 24 and September 25, 1991, the Planning Commission of
the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted duly noticed public hearings regarding
the completeness of the subject application. Following conclusion of the
latter hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 91-141 denying
the application without prejudice.
(iii) The decision represented by said Planning Commission Resolution
was timely appealed to the City Council.
(iv) Staff subsequently deemed the project application complete on
October 30, 1991, prior to the hearing on the appeal, thereby nullifying the
action of the Planning Commission of September 25, 1991.
(v) On the llth of December 1991, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
application and concluded said hearing on that date.
(vi) All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the f~cts
set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing on December 11, 1991, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
TT 14211 DENIAL - U.S. HOME CORPORATION "
December 11, 199~
Page 2
(a) The application applies to property generally located east
of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Devore Freeway and west of East Avenue with
an Etiwanda Avenue frontage of 712 feet, a Devote Freeway frontage of 348 feet
and an East Avenue frontage of 414 feet on property zoned Low-Medium
Residential and is presently unimproved; and
(b) The property to the north of the subject site includes
single residences and vacant land and zoned Low-Medium and Medium Residential
(4-8 and 8-14 dwelling units per acre, respectively), the property to the
south of that site is single family residential and vacant and is zoned
Low-Medium and Medium Residential, the property to the east consists of single
family residences and vacant land and is zoned Low-Medium and Medium
Residential and City of Fontana, and the property to the west is the Devore
Freeway right-of-way, single family residential and vacant, and is zoned
Low-Medium and Medium Residential; and
(c) The application contemplates the development of 226 single
family residences with an average lot size of 8,685 square feet and an interim
detention basin of 10.6 acres for the purpose of receiving drainage for this
project as well as future projects in the immediate area; and
(d) The project as proposed will require approval of related
Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 89-03, which would allow lots of a minimum
average lot size of 8,500 square feet in the Low-Medium Residential District
of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
(e) The application as proposed would be materially detrimental
to the persons and properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site
for the reasons as follows:
(1) The Tentative Tract Map as proposed does not
indicate a lettered parcel of 2.33 acres or greater for the purpose of a park,
which is the minimum requirement of the Quimby Act (a minimum of 3 acres of
park per 1,000 residents) and Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Chapter 16.32,
nor does the Tentative Tract Map reflect a site plan design that would allow
this park to be expanded on the contiguous property utilized as an interim
detention basin in the future. In addition, the minimum 2.33 acre park site
is necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the General Plan in terms of
location (the General Plan requires a park site in the block bounded by
Etiwanda, East, and Miller Avenues and ]Foothill Boulevard) and intent (the
park should be provided at the time of development for the use of citizens in
the immediate area), both of which are consistent with the goals of the
General Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan for providing residential facilities
to meet the needs of all segments of the population for recreation, relaxation
and socialization.
(2) The project contemplates the construction of a sound
attenuation wall along the edge of the Devote Freeway right-of-way,
approximately 11 to 12 feet high as measured at freeway grade, which is
necessary to mitigate the concerns of exposing people to potentially dangerous
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.

Page 3
noise levels in portions of the project area. As required by the General
Plan, the feasibility of the wall, its height, location, and construction has
yet to be determined since formal approval from Caltrans has not been secured.
(3) The project contemplates the removal of up to 213
trees on the property, many of which are initially identified as in a healthy
and thriving condition as identified by a qualified and licensed arborist.
The application as proposed does not include a concurrently processed Tree
Removal Permit nor any specific tree replacement quantities or species to
mitigate the loss of up to 213 trees on the property. This is inconsistent
with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code
Chapter 19.08), the goals of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the absolute
policies of the Development Code (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section
17.08,050.E.8), which require replacement of individual trees with species and
quantities of a minimum acceptable level and replacement of existing windrows
of Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees to encourage the protection of the windbreak
system for reasons of public safety,. wind protection, and historical
significance.
(4) The Tentative Tract Map and related plans reflect a
"grid" local street pattern, especially in the area south of Miller Avenue,
which is inconsistent with the Residential Design Policies of the City for
providing curvilinear streets to promote visually interesting streetscapes
(Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 17.08,090.C.12 and Etiwanda Specific
Plan Section 5.32.100).
(5) The Tentative Tract Map and related plans include
local cul-de-sac streets that are designed with awkward side yard to rear yard
relationships.
(6) The architecture and related design elements within
the proposed project boundaries, as reflected in the application, is not

2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing on December 11, 1991, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
DR TT 14211 DENIAL - U.S. HOME CORPORATION
December 11, 1991
Page 2
(a) The application applies to property generally located east
of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Devore Freeway and west of East Avenue with
an Etiwanda Avenue frontage of 712 feet, a Devore Freeway frontage of 348 feet
and an East Avenue frontage of 414 feet on property zoned Low-Medium
Residential and is presently unimproved; and
(b) The property to the north of the subject site is single
family residential and vacant and zoned Low-Medium and Medium Residential (4-8
and 8-14 dwelling units per acre, respectively), the property to the south of
that site is single family residences and vacant and is zoned Low-Medium
Residential, the property to the east consists of single family residences and
vacant land and is zoned Low-Medium Residential and City of Fontana, and the
property to the west is single family residential and vacant and is zoned Low-
Medium residential; and
(c) The application conte,nplates the development of 226 single
family residences with an average lot size of 8,685 square feet, and an
interim detention basin of 10.6 acres for the purpose of receiving drainage
for this project as well as future projects in the immediate area; and
(d) The project as proposed will require approval of related
Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 89-03, which would allow lots of a minimum
average lot size of 8,500 square feet in the Low-Medium Residential District
of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
(e) The application as proposed would be materially detrimental
to the persons and properties in the immediate vicinity of the .proposed site
for the reasons as follows:
( 1 ) The Tentative Tract Map as proposed does not
indicate a lettered parcel of 2.33 acres or greater for the purpose of a park,
which is the minimum requirement of the Quimby Act (a minimum of 3 acres of
park per 1,000 residents) and Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Chapter 16.32,
nor does the Tentative Tract Map reflect a site plan design that would allow
this park to be expanded on the contiguous property utilized as an interim
detention basin in the future. In addition, the minimum 2.33 acre park site
is necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the General Plan in terms of
location (the General Plan requires a park site in the block bounded by
Etiwanda, East, and Miller Avenues and Foothill Boulevard) and intent (the
park should be provided at the time of development for the use of citizens in
the immediate area), both of which are consistent with the goals of the
General Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan for providing residential facilities
to meet the needs of all segments of the population for recreation, relaxation
and socialization.
(2) The project contemplates the construction of a sound
attenuation wall along the edge of the Devote Freeway right-of-way,
approximately 11 to 12 feet high as measured at freeway grade, which is
necessary to mitigate the concerns of exposing people to potentially dangero. us
noise levels in portions of the project. area. As required by the General
Plan, the feasibility of the wall, its height, location, and construction has
yet to be determined since formal approval from Caltrans has not been secured.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
DR TT 14211 DENIAL - U.S. HOME CORPORATION
December 11, 1991
Page 3
(3) The project contemplates the removal of up to 213
trees on the property, many of which are initially identified as in a healthy
and thriving condition as .identified by a qualified and licensed arborist.
The application as proposed does not include a concurrently processed Tree
Removal Permit nor any specific tree replacement .quantities or species to
mitigate the loss of up to 213 trees on the property. This is inconsistent
with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code
Chapter 19.08), the goals of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the absolute
policies of the Development Code (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section
17.08.050.E.8), which require replacement of individual trees with species and
quantities of a minimum acceptable level and replacement of existing windrows
of Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees to encourage the protection of the windbreak
system for reasons of public safety, wind protection, and historical
significance.
(4) The Tentative Tract Map and related plans reflect a
"grid" local street pattern, especially in the area south of Miller Avenue,
which is inconsistent with the Residential Design Policies of the City for
providing curvilinear streets to promote visually interesting streetscapes
(Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 17.08.090.C.12 and Etiwanda Specific
Plan Section 5.32.100).
(5) The Tentative Tract Map and related plans include
local cul-de-sac streets that are designed with awkward side yard to rear yard
relationships.
(6) The architecture and related design elements within
the proposed project boundaries, as reflected in the application, is not
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, which
states a project shall create or reinforce the "sense of community identity,
avoid the feeling of sameness or blandness, and enhance Etiwanda's character"
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
(a) That the proposed project is not consistent with the
objectives of the General Plan; and
(b) That the proposed design is not in accord with the
objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and Development Code nor the purposes
of the district in which the site is located; and
(c) That the proposed design is not in compliance with each of
the applicable provisions of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and Development Code;
and
(d) That the proposed design, together with the conditions
applicable thereto, will be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare and materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.

center and maintenance facility will have a total of twelve staff
members. Class sizes of the training center may occasionally exceed
the number of designated on-site .parking spaces. The detailed site
plan (see Exhibit "B") identifies an area that may be used as the
designated area for overflow parking. Based upon this information,
there should be significant parking on-site to accommodate all uses
of the facility.

Personnel 24 23* 47
TOTAL 36 23 59
*This figure does not include seven truck parking spaces
located directly north of the maintenance center.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The Phase II proposal consists of a 24,030 square foot
training center and maintenance facility, a 3,432 square foot
training tower, a 120 square foot pump test enclosure building, and
an emergency hellspot. The training center will contain office
space and three classrooms to allow for the training of district
personnel; this facility may be leased to other agencies. The
maintenance center will be for the repair of district vehicles and
the pump test enclosure building will be used to test the draw of
pump units on the engines- The construction of these buildings may
be broken down into two additional phases with the maintenance
center and pump test enclosure in the first phase and the training
center and training tower in the second phase.
The architectural style, form, and building mass of the proposed
buildings are consistent with the fire station building currently
under construction. The buildings will be constructed of red brick
blocks (4 X 8 X 12-inch block size) with gray accent color bands.
Architectural features include utilizing saw tooth roofs,
contrasting brick lintels, translucent roofing material (when
applicable), and accentuating metal work. Two of the three
buildings in the training tower will use the same form and
materials; one of the training tower buildings will be concrete
tilt-up. Each of the training tower buildings contain decorative
metal work on their roofs (to be painted one of the three primary
colors).
The plaza area located behind the monument sign (between the fire
station, maintenance center, and training center) continues to be a
major design issue. The examples presented on the site plan (see
Exhibit "B") follow a design approach previously established by
continuing the brick paving element used in the driveways. This
design was reviewed by the Design. Review Committee, however, final
acceptance of the plaza design was deferred to the full Commission.

B. Emergency Helispot: The project was designed to accommodate the
landing of helicopters in emergency situations- The landing zone is
located at the south end of the project site directly south of the
training tower. The Planning Commission has the ability to approve-
in-concept emergency landing zones and the Fire District may
establish emergency landing zones under the provisions of the
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Landing Sites, which are exempt
from the state permitting process- However, use of the helispot for
non-medical emergencies, both public and private, requires approval
by the California Department of Transportation, Division of
Aeronautics. Conditions of approval reflect that if the district
anticipates use of the hellspot for non-medical emergencies or by
other agencies, permits from all applicable governmental agencies
(i.e., Caltrans and/or the Federal Aviation Administration) shall be
submitted to the City Planner prior to the establishment of such
emergency helispot use.
C. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site: Fire Station No. 4 is
the newly designated location for the collection of household
hazardous waste (i.e-, automotive oil, paint, pesticides, etc). The
facility for the collection of these materials is currently located
at the temporary Fire Station No. 3 where the material is contained
in 55-gallon drums stored in a roll-away dumpster. The collection
of these materials is subject to approval by the San Bernardino
County Environmental Health Services Department- Upon submittal of
a "Business Plan" to the Environmental Health Services Department, a
permit will be issued to allow for the operation of the facility.
The purpose of the permit process is to notify the Environmental
Health Services Department what materials are stored in case of an
accidental spill, to allow for proper clean up of the collection
site once the use has been discontinued, and to provide public
information on permitted collection sites. The Environmental Health
Services Department will make annual, or as needed, inspections of
the facility- Receipts from the hazardous materials handler should
be provided to verify proper removal of the material. The
conditions of approval require approval by the Environmental Health
Services Department prior to the issuance of building permits for
the storage facility. The exact location or design, either
permanent or temporary, has not yet been established; so conditions
were tailored to allow the placement of the collection site subject
to Design Review Committee review and approval.
D. Design Review Committee: On February 7, 1991, staff conducted a
Planning Comission Workshop allowing all Couznissioners the
opportunity to comment on design and site planning issues prior to
the applicant's submission of a formal application- On August 8,
1991, the Design Review Committee (Melcher, Vallette, Buller)
reviewed the project and recomended approval with the following
modifications:

Page 4
1. The design of the metal column on the northeast and northwest
elevations should be revised. The architect proposed either a
brushed or anodized aluminum finish.
2. The design of the pump test enclosure building fascia was
considered acceptable and will remain a painted metal finish.
3. Review of the plaza desi~l was deferred to the Planning
Commission. The Committee suggested removal of the proposed
palm trees and replacement with large canopy shade trees.
The exhibits included within the staff report have been revised
besedupel Design Review Committee co~ents.
E. Environmental Assessment: The applicant has completed Part I of the
Initial Study. Staff has completed Part II of the Environmental
Checklist and determined that the emergency helispot and the
collection of household hazardous waste may have significant effects
on the environment.
The designation of an emergency hellspot may have a significant
effect on the environment due to increased noise levels. As the
noise impact issue depends upon frequency of use, public health and
safety concerns override noise level concerns as the hellspot will
only be used for emergency situations. To provide a legal emergency
hellspot, the project is conditioned to obtain approval permits for
operation of the facility prior to issuance of building permits.
Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 17.02.120.E. exempts
emergency equipment/vehicles from the City's noise standards because
of the overriding need to promote the health, safety, and welfare of
the general public.
The collection of household hazardous waste may have a significant
effect on the environment if not stored or disposed of in a correct
manner. As a mitigation measure, the project is conditioned to
submit a "Business Plan" to and obtain a permit from the San
Bernardino County Environmental Health Services Department for the
establishment of a hazardous waste collection facility. The
Environmental Health Services Department will inspect the facility
for proper storage and verify that the material is disposed of
properly.
Because of broad general welfare concerns, staff believes that
neither of the uses will have a significant effect on the
environment and recommends that the Planning Commission issue a
mitigated Negative Declaration.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Commission must make the following
findings before approving this application:

DATE: December 11, 1991
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Tom Grahn, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-09 -
RANCHO CUCAMONGA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - The development of
Fire Station No. 3, consisting of an ] 1,787 square foot fire
station and an emergency hellspot on 2.75 acres of land in
the Medium-High Residential District ( 14-24 dwelling units
per acre) of the Victoria Community Plan, located on the west
side of the proposed Day Creek Boulevard, approximately 800
feet north of Base Line Road - APN: 227-091-18 and 19.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A- Action Requested: Approval of a Conditional Use Permit, detailed
site plan, grading plan, landscape plan, building elevations and

D. Site Characteristics: The project site is currently vacant and
vegetation consists of native grass, and weeds · The site is
relatively flat, sloping approximately 2 to 3 percent from north to
south. The site is bounded to the north by an existing railroad
line and to the east by the future Day Creek Boulevard.
E. Parking Calculations: Parking requirements for the fire station
were based upon a twenty-four hour shift consisting of eight
firefighters. The following summarizes parking spaces provided at
Fire Station No. 3:
Number of
Spaces

Visitor 8
Personnel ~8
Total 26
F. Applicable Regulations: The Victoria Community Plan permits fire
station uses within the Medium-High Residential District subject to
a Conditional Use Permit.
ANALYS I S:
A- General: The development proposal consists of a fire station
building totaling 11,787 square feet, a carport structure providing
nine covered parking spaces, a small service station building for
the refueling of district vehicles, and a helispot for the landing
of helicopters in emergency situations (see Exhibit "C")- The fire
station building provides for the following amenities: living
quarters for nine persons, exercise room, library, training room,
and front office-
The fire station building was designed to reflect elements found in
both the Victoria Community Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan
areas. The design follows basic craftsman style form and materials
utilizing exposed timbers, exposed wood truss gable roof ends, wood
siding, river rock veneer, multi-paned windows, and wood railing at
the porches (see Exhibit "H"). Decorative paving is proposed in
both the visitor and response driveways; the architect will present
various material options to the Planning Commission for their
consideration -
B. Emer~enc~ Helispot: The project was designed to accommodate the
landing of helicopters in emergency situations. The landing zone
is located in the northwest corner of the project site and utilizes
the parking lot surface. The Planning Commission has the ability
to approve-in-concept emergency landing zones and the Fire District
may establish emergency landing zones under the provisions of

Emergency Medical Services ( EMS ) Landing Sites, which are exempt
from the State permitting process- However, use of the hellspot
for non-medical emergencies, both public and private, requires
approval by the California Department of Transportation, Division
of Aeronautics · Conditions of approval reflect that if the
District anticipates use of the helispot for non-medical
emergencies or by other agencies, permits from all applicable
governmental agencies (i.e., Caltrans and/or the Federal Aviation
Administration) shall be submitted to the City Planner prior to the
establishment of such emergency helispot use.
C. Vacation of Railroad Avenue South: The strip of land located
directly north of the project site is a designated, though not
developed, street right-of-way (i.e-, "paper" street). The site
plan has been revised (see Exhibit "C"), based upon direction of
the Design Review Committee), to incorporate this parcel and modify
the location of on-site improvements- The fire station and carport
buildings were shifted north, thereby expanding the paved area in
the center of the project for on-site circulation and the
helispot · (The vacation of Railroad Avenue South is further
discussed in the Engineering Division report for Parcel Map 13859
of the December 11, 199 1, Planning Commission meeting- )
D. Design Review Committee: On February 7, 1991, staff conducted a
Planning Commission workshop allowing all Commissioners the
opportunity to comment on design and site planning issues. On
May 9, and May 16, 199 1, the project was reviewed by the Fire
Station Subcommittee (Chitiea, Melcher, Kroutil) to address design
issues presented at the Planning Commission workshop. The project
design was revised based upon Subcommittee design recommendations
prior to submitting for Design Review Committee consideration. On
August 8, 1991, the Design Review Committee ( Me lcher, Va 1 lette,
Buller ) reviewed the project and recommended approval with the
following modifications:
1. The wall proposed adjacent to Day Creek Boulevard should be
reviewed by the Community and Park Development Department for
consistency with the Day Creek Boulevard wall design
concept. Design recommendations should be brought back to the
Committee for approval of the wall design.
2. A design option incorporating the parcel located directly to
the north of the project site (Railroad Avenue South) should
be provided- If the applicant is able to obtain the parcel
and incorporate it within project boundaries, a shift in the
location of project improvements ( i.e., the fire station
building) should also be provided.

3- The gable roof on the front'. and rear of the carport building
should be deleted,
4, False truss elements should be deleted from the roof system-
5- Should the perimeter wall be capable of providing adequate
wind protection, the side walls of the carport building should
be removed, This will result in a carport structure open to
all sides and supported by multi-post pillars,
6, Roofing materials used at the translucent roofing system
should be clarified-
7, The decorative treatment of the response and visitor parking
driveways should tie in with materials used in the primary
facility- The applicant was directed to explore various
material options for review by the Planning Commission,
The ~wh~bits included within the staff repert have been revised
based upon Design Review Coeaittee comments.
E. Environmental Assessment: The applicant completed Part I of the
Initial Study. Staff completed Part II of the Environmental
Checklist and determined that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment due to increased noise levels,
particularly from the emergency hellspot. As the noise impact
issue depends upon frequency of use, public health and safety
concerns-override noise level concerns as the helispot will only be
used for emergency situations · The project is conditioned to
obtain approval permits for operation of the facility prior to
issuance of building permits. Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code
Section 17.02,120.E exempts emergency equipment/vehicles from the
City's noise standards because of the overriding need to promote
the health, safety, and welfare of the general public. Therefore,
staff recommends that the Planning Commission issue a Negative
Declaration ·
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Commission must make the following
findings before approving this application:
A- That the proposed project is in accordance with the General Plan,
the objectives of the Development Code, and the Victoria Conununity
Plan; and
B. That the proposed project will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; and
C. That the 'proposed project complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Victoria Community Plan.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 11, 1991
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-20 -
SHELL OIL - A request to establish a gas station, mini-market,
and car wash on a 1.31 acre parcel in the Medium Residential
designation, (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista
Planned Community, located at the southwest corner of Base Line
Road and Rochester Avenue - APN: 227-15 1-17. Related File:
Tentative Parcel Map 13987. Staff reco~nends issuance of a
Negative Declaration.
BACKGROUND: On October 9, 1991, the Planning Commission considered the
development plans for the proposed service station. At that time, the
Commission voiced concern about the compatibility of the service station
with the 'surrounding residential properties. After receiving public
testimony on the project, a majority of the Commission felt the service
station land use might work at this location provided the following issues
were satisfactorily addressed in revised plans:
1. Greater buffering should be provided along the south and west site
boundaries. A majority of the buffering should be provided on the
service station site.
2. The mini-market should be deleted.
3- The property boundaries/lot lines should be adjusted to include all
improvements necessary for the service station operation (i.e.,
driveway, walls, landscaping, etc.)
As a result, this item was continued to allow the applicant to revise the
plans and submit them for Design ]~view Committee review prior to
additional consideration by the Commission-
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE: The Design Review Committee (Chitiea, Melcher,
Kroutil) originally reviewed the proposal on September 5, 1991. At that
time, the Committee noted several architectural and site planning issues
connected with the project (see October 9, 1991 staff report for
recommendations)- The Committee also had serious reservations abut the
compatability of the service station and the future residential units to
the south and west. As a result, the Committee referred the project to the
Planning Commission for consideration. On November 21, 1991, the Design
ITeM T
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-20 - SHELL OIL
December 11, 199 1
Page 2
Review Committee (Chitiea, McNiel, Kroutil) reviewed the plans submitted by
the applicant- The revised plans incorporate the Rochester driveway into
the lot area and provide berming along the south and west boundaries to
increase the height of the perimeter wall- No additional landscape area is
being proposed on-site and the service station still includes a mini-
market- The applicant chose not to address previous architectural comments
until the land use issues can be resolved.
The Committee felt that the buffering provided by the applicant was
insufficient along the south and west boundaries- The Committee felt that
in order to consider the project acceptable, a minimum 5-foot (free and
clear) landscape area should be provided on the service station site and
that some assurances should be provided by the adjacent property owner that
additional landscaping will be provided with the residential project to
create a substantial buffer between the two projects. The Committee
suggested that a minimum combined landscape area of 35 feet be explored.
The applicant should revise the plans for additional Committee review at
the meeting of December 5, 1991. In that revisions to the plan were not
available at the time of the report preparations, staff will orally update
the Commission to any changes that have resulted with the proposal-
Finally, the Committee felt that the air and water stand should be
relocated from the south property line to the eastern portion of the site
to minimize the noise nuisance adjacent to the residential area.
CORRESPONDENCE: Additional notices were mailed to all residents within 500
feet of the project site and the site was posted.
RECOMMENDATION: If, after receiving all public testimony, the Commission
feels that the applicant has not satisfactorily addressed the Commission's
previous direction, staff should be directed to prepare a Resolution of
Denial- If however, the Planning Commission feels that the use and design
as proposed are appropriate for this location, the Planning Commission
Should direct staff to prepare a Resolution of Approval with the inclusion
of a condition requiring the architectural plans to be reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Committee prior to the issuance of building
permits- The appropriate Resolution will return to the Commission on
January 8, 1991, for adoption.

stations and their related uses (mini-market and car wash) are
considered "Community Facilities." As such, service stations may
be located in any zoning designation, along any of Terra Vista's
major arterials (Rochester, Foothill, Base Line, and Milliken),
subject to review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The
Terra Vista Community Plan does, however, require the use to be
"separated from residential uses by a street, additional landscape
setback, or other 'buffer' satisfactory to the .Planning
Commission."
B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Chitiea,
Melcher, Kroutil) reviewed the project on September 5, 1991, and
did not recommend approval. The Committee requested that the plans
be revised to address the following concerns:
Architecture
1. The canopy column seems out of proportion.
2. The gable, pop-out roof elements appear unfinished and should
be redesigned to provide a more integrated roof design.
3. The storefront elevation should be redesigned to eliminate the
glass at the bottom portion of the elevation to screen
merchandise that may be stacked against the window.
4. A sturdier material (i.e. ceramic tile) should be used at the
base of the columns to minimize damage,
5- The building should be designed with a sufficient roof
overhang to prevent water from running down the building side
and staining the walls.
Site Plan
1. The property line at the southeast corner of the site should
relate to the driveway location- It does not seem appropriate
to cross over property not owned by the applicant to access
the project-
2. Some concern was expressed about the three-car stacking for
each pump island.

3. The location of the parking spaces adjacent to the residential
. area might create problems with noise, trash, etc-
4. Concern was expressed about the visibility of the air/water
stand from the cashier's window. Clear visibility should be
maintained for security and safety of the patrons.
In addition to the architecture and site planning con~ents, the
Committee expressed serious reservations abut locating a service
station at this location because of the proximity of future
residential projects- The Committee felt that there would be on-
going conflicts between the two uses.
C. Land Use: In October 1989, the Planning Commission approved an
amendment to the Terra Vista Planned Community allowing service
stations along the major arterials of Terra Vista (Milliken, Base
Line, Foothill, and Rochester) subject to review and approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Permit applications are
typically required for those activities that, because of their
unique site development and operating characteristics, require
special consideration in order to operate in a manner compatible
with surrounding uses and provide adequate mitigation of any
potential adverse impacts. The Con~ission felt that there may have
been appropriate locations along the arterials for service stations
and that the Conditional Use Permit process was the correct
instrument for review of any such proposal.
In reviewing the current application, the Design Review Committee
expressed concern about the compatibility of this service station
in relation to future residences immediately adjacent to the south
and west. Because of the concerns voiced, the applicant and staff
agreed to bring the application to the full Planning Commission to
discuss the compatibility of the service station with the
surrounding uses- In determining whether the request will be
compatible with the surrounding uses, the Planning Commission
should consider the following:
1. Is the design (orientation, placement, buffer/separation,
architecture, landscaping) of the service station appropriate
to mitigate any potential conflicts between the two different
uses?
2. Is the orientation and placement of the building consistent
with the policies of the City in relation to the public
right-of-way and adjacent uses?
D. Neighborhood Meeting:. On September 4, 1991, a neighborhood meeting
was conducted to receive input from residents on the proposed
service station; however, no residents attended the meeting-

E- Environmental' Assessment: In completing the Environmental
Assessment for the project, staff has identified several areas of.
potential adverse environmental impacts connected with the
project- First, as with any gas station, emission of vapors from
the dispensing of gasoline is a prime concern. The applicant has
been working with the South Coast. Air Quality Management District
and has obtained the necessary permits for the project.
The second issue connected with the project is the creation of new
light and glare at the intersection. The Development Code requires
that a lighting plan be submitted for review by the City
identifying the foot candles present on-site and allowing not more
than five foot candles to spill onto adjacent properties- Plans
will be reviewed to ensure light fixtures are directed and shielded
to limit any spill-over onto adjacent properties. If the project
is approved by the Commission, this will become a condition of
approval.
The third and final environmental issue is noise that might be
created by the project- The noise introduced to the residential
neighborhood is different from the typical noise issues dealt with
by the Commission. The noise can not be metered like the freeway
nois~ because it will not be constant- The noise will be
intermittent and include such things as the starting and stopping
of cars, the rewing of engines, squealing of tires, loud radios,
etc. The applicant is indicating that a block wall will be
constructed around the perimeter of the station next to the future
residences- This will help cut cbwn the noise to the homes. The
nearest existing residence is on 'the east side of Rochester Avenue
but the master plan shows future residences as close as ten feet
from the station property line. If the Commission approves the
project, the Commission may want to consider a greater separation
between the station and future residences to provide an adequate
buffer.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the
Conditional Use Permit application, the following findings must be made:
A. That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code and Terra Vista Planned
Community, and the purposes of the district in which the site is
located-
B. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
C- That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code and the Terra Vista Planned
Community.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive
all written and oral testimony on the proposed project. If, in the
opinion of the Planning Commission, the project can be designed to
provide sufficient buffering between the two uses, the Planning
Commission should refer this item back to the Design Review Conduittee or
direct staff to prepare a Resolution of Approval to be brought back at
the next meeting. If the Planning Commission does not feel that the
compatibility can be achieved between the uses, staff should be directed

Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman McNiel asked if there was access to the housing development through
the southern driveway.
Mr. Murphy replied that the plans depict an emergency access. He said the
master plan shows two points of access coming off the future street, which the
Fire District feels is sufficient, and therefore the access from the service
station driveway will be an extra access.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked if there would be access from Rochester.
Barrye Hanson, Senior Civil Engineer, stated staff had suggested an access
from Rochester but the applicant had not proposed one.
Mr. Murphy stated the master plan is purely conceptual and any proposals would
have to processed through the Planning Commission.
Mr. Hanson stated that staff would be concerned about mixing residential
traffic with the service station traffic.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes -9- October 9, 1991
George Theodorou, Forma, 10790 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he
represented Shell Oil. He stated the design of =he service station is
atypical of a retail service eta=ion and was the result of many months of
working with the Planning and Engineering staff. He said they had provided
the reverse station design in conformance with =he City's policy. He stated
the architecture was meant to coordinate with Terra Vista as a whole and also
with Central Park Plaza. He indicated the gullwing design for ingress/egress
was selected to mitigate traffic impacts with right-turn lanes provided
both driveways to provide safe ingress/egress. He stated they were working
with the adjacent property owner and it did not appear it would be necessary
to provide access to the residential area. He said the gullwing design had
provided enhanced landscaping area. He said the pump islands are
approximately 100 feet from the property lines and high density shrubs would
be placed along the perimeter of the property. He stated the topography and
landscaping would screen the view from the street. He reported =here was an
approximate 3-foot grade separation between the property and the adjacent
future residential area. He proposed dense, tall trees adjacent to the future
residences. He felt the station will serve a need in the community for
increased competition.
Commissioner Melcher questioned if the applicant had considered a traditional
station with the pumps facing the street for this site.
Mr. Theodorou responded negatively. He said they felt the reversed station
design would be appropriate in light of other stations in the community.
Commissioner Melcher stated that across the intersection there is an existing
walled residential project which provided separation from the site. He felt
the future residential projects would also be walled. He thought it may be
appropriate to turn the station around l:o face the street and screen it from
the adjoining future residential use to the south.
Mr~ Theodorou stated they had been directed to reverse the station. He felt
that with residential projects on the adjacent three corners, the proposed
design may be visually more harmonious with the other corners.
Chairman McNiel stated the Commission has given direction that service
stations should not face streets.
Commissioner Vallette stated that one of the concerns raised at the Design
Review Committee meeting was the south property line. She co~unented that the
driveway crosses property which is not owned by the applicant.
Mr. Theodorou stated there had been extensive negotiations between Shell and
Lewis Homes and Shell will be obligated to maintain the easement in
perpetuity.
Rick Mager, Lewis Homes, 1156 North Mountain Avenue, Upland, stated they had
been working with Shell Oil over the last year and had worked closely under
the direction of staff. He felt the Base Line and Rochester intersection will
be a high-traffic intersection. He thought =here is a shortage of service
Planning Commission Minutes -10- October 9, 1991
stations in the City, particularly in this area of the community, and the need
will grow over time. He stated they did not plan to construct the neighboring
residential area until at least 1993 and the residential parcel could be
conditioned to provide additional barriers, architectural, and landscaping
details to further buffer the site. He stated that Lewis is by nature a
residential developer and they would not sacrifice the character of the
residential area for a 1-acre service station. Me felt the land use is
compatible and that all of the concerns could be mitigated.
.Chairman MeNial commented that once the service station is approved, the
developer may pursue a change of zoning on the adjacent property to make it
more compatible. He stated that he would not support such a land use change
and buffering would be crucial from both parcels.
Mr. Mager felt there was adequate buffering proposed from the Shell property,
but they expected buffering would also be addressed when they processed the
residential property. He stated Lewis Homes had no desire to change the
surrounding land use from residential. He said that the Terra Vista Community
Plan amendment in 1988 defined Rochester Avenue and Base Line Road as key
arterials and the plan required service station uses to be adequately
buffered.
Chairman McNiel questioned the proposed emergency driveway access and the
southern driveway.
Mr. Mager responded that Shell Oil had originally proposed a 3/4-acre service
station site. He said they determined it would not be possible to design a
project the Planning Commission would support on such a small parcel and
therefore, the proposed parcel is now slightly larger than i acre. He said
they did not want a shared driveway with the residential area and they had
proposed an emergency access at the request of the Fire District. He said
Shell has indicated they cannot afford to also purchase the land containing
the proposed southern driveway and had proposed an easement which they would
be obligated to maintain in perpetuity.
Chairman McNiel asked how much land would be added to the Shell parcel if they
purchased the land containing the proposed driveway.
Mr. Theodorou replied approximately 1/4 acre.
Commissioner Melcher asked if it would be appropriate to address by minute
action the future relationship between the service station property and the
adjoining residences. Me felt it should be noted that the Commission would be
looking for adequate buffering and the Terra Vista Specific Plan requires
separation by a street, additional landscape setback, or other buffer. He
felt the Commission should require a separation e~ual to the width of the
wider of the two streets on which the service station fronts plus the normal
residential setback between the service station property line and the nearest
residential unit. He felt that Lewis Homes should be required to completely
solve the access problems, including emergency access for the residential
area, irrespective of the service station site so there would not be gates or
Planning Commission Minutes -11- October 9, 1991
UT-I
any other means of ingress or egress on the southerly driveway. He asked if
the applicant felt such conditions were acceptable.
Commissioner Vallette asked if the Fire Department had seen the site plan with
the driveway.
Mr. Murphy said the Fire Department had indicated the emergency access from
the service station would not be needed. He said there were two other access
points for the residential tract on the master plan.
Mr. Mager stated they did not object to deletion of the emergency access from
the service station to the residential area. He suggested continuing the
matter to permit Lewis Homes to look at the number of units that may be lost
if the Commission were to require the setbacks suggested by Commissioner
Melcher.
Joe Oleson, Lewis Homes, 1156 North Mountain Avenue, Upland, stated the
setback suggested by Commissioner Melcher would probably equal 120-150 feet.
He said he would like Lewis's design people to look at the project.
Commissioner Tolstoy commented that it would not be acceptable to move all of
the open space for the residential project to this location.
Mr. Oleson agreed, and stated the residential parcel would be subject to
multi-family standards. He requested that the Planning Commission recommend
an exception to the Terra Vista Planned Community Street Improvement ·
Implementation Policy to exempt the requirement for construction of the west
half of Rochester Avenue from Base Line Road to Church Street.
Michael Roberrs, 7349 Fennel Road, Rancho Cucamonga, stated there are
currently residences in place on the southeast corner of Rochester and Base
Line. He con~nented that unfortunately most of the residents were not told of
the meeting. He appreciated the Commission's concern for future residential
development. He felt Base Line and Milliken would be a more logical site for
a service station. He said there are three school bus stops on Rochester. He
stated that the neighboring residents would be subject to fumes from any
gasoline spills. He indicated there is a proposed future high school in the
area and he did not think the site is appropriate for a service station. He
requested that all residents in the neighborhood be given announcements of any
future meetings.
Chairman McNiel stated that the legal notifications had been sent to the
property owners within a 500-foot radius.
Mr. Roberrs stated his house should have received a no=ice, but he had not.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Mr. Murphy stated the Planning Commissioners had three options: (1) If they
felt comfortable with the land use, they could continue the item to revise the
plans, return to Design Review/and the full Commission~ (2) If they agreed
Planning Commission Minutes -12- October 9, 199~
with the land use and felt the conditions could address the Design Review
Committee's concerns, they could direct staff to return with a resolution of
approval for adoption at the next meeting~ or (3) if they did not feel
comfortable with the use, they could direct staff to return with a resolution
of denial for adoption at the next meeting.
Commissioner Chitlea stated she had been on the Design Review Conunittee and
had expressed some concerns. She felt it would be appropriate for the more
intense user to provide the major mitigation measures. She questioned if such
an intense use should be adjacent to residences. She felt it would be
difficult to mitigate intermittent noise from radios and vehicles. She did
not feel it would be appropriate to turn the station around to face the
intersection in order to provide additional buffering to the adjacent
neighborhood. She agreed that service stations are necessary, but did not
feel this par~cicular location is appropriate.
Commissioner Melcher stated he was greatly concerned about the question of
land use. He said service stations, along with related uses of mini-market
and car wash, are conditionally permitted according to the 1989 amendment to
the Terra Vista Community Plan. He questioned the appropriateness of a mini-
market because of the proximity of shopping facilities less than 3/4 mile
away. He also questioned the need for a car wash, but stated he understood
the need for competitivehess. He indicated he had visited the Shell station
in Moreno Valley that had been referenced at the Design Review Committee
Meeting and he thought the station was well done but may experience traffic
problems. H~ did not feel the project was ready for final action, but thought
it should return to the Design Review Co.~ittee before returning to the full
Commission. He agreed the City needs additional service stations and felt the
location was good.
Commissioner Vallette thought that if the station were approved, it should
carry the major burden of providing a buffer to the future residential area.
She did not feel the site is appropriate because of visibility from a
residential area, light, and noise.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt the location was appropriate because it is a major
intersection and he agreed that the City needs more stations. He thought both
parcels should be involved with the buffering. He commented that the
applicant had reported =here was not enough money in Shell's budget to provide
enough land to support the station. He thought it was necessary to provide a
large enough property to contain all of the driveways, uses, and adequate
buffering. He felt the design still needed a lot of work.
Chairman McNiel asked the width of Rochester.
Mr. Hanson replied it is 72 feet from curb to curb in a 100-foot right of way.
Chairman McNiel stated he was not convinced the location is inappropriate for
a service s=a~ion~ however, he felt i= is a sensitive area. He was puzzled
that Shell Oil was no= willing to purchase an additional 1/4 acre to
accommodate the driveway because he fel~ the current plan may lead to problems
Planning Commission Minutes -13- October 9, 1991
,-
in the future. He thought adequate buffering may be possible, but wanted it
shown on the plans. He was not sure the applicant knew what buffering would
be needed to mitigate effects on future residences.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated there appeared to be two Commissioners who
felt the use was not appropriate for this location, two who felt the use was
appropriate, and one who felt the use may be appropriate but there were major
design issues. He said it would be a judgment call on the part of the
applicant as to whether they should proceed.
Chairman McNiel asked if any of the Commissioners agreed with the proposed
easement for the driveway.
It was the unanimous consensus of the Commission that the concept was not
acceptable.
Chairman McNiel stated that the City needs service stations, but he felt the
design problems for the site must be addressed.
Commissioner Vallette felt the plan called for too much on such a small site
and she felt it was too close to a residential area. She felt the applicant
should seek a larger site.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed a larger site would be better.
Commissioner Chitiea felt the site would have to increase significantly.
Commissioner Vallette asked if the other Commissioners agreed the proposed
parcel is not large enough.
Chairman McNiel felt there was such a consensus.
Commissioner Tolstoy was concerned about a mink-market and thought a full-
service station may be more appropriate for the location.
Mr. Murphy stated a full service station would introduce other noise factors,
such as jacks, equipment, etc.
Commissioner Melcher felt it should be noted that a site at Base Line and
Milliken had been previously considered for a service station, and it was
determined that was not a suitable site. He suggested a finding that the use
is appropriate subject to adequate size, having all ingress/egress on site,
making a substantial contribution to the buffering, and deletion of the mini-
market.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed.
Commissioner Melcher suggested the item may have to be readvertised.
Mr. Buller stated that a neighborhood meeting had been held but no one showed
up. He thought it may be appropriate to send out additional notices. He said
staff would be sure that the residents in the Rochester tract are notified.

entries in terms of landscaping.
Mr. Grahn stated the design changed somewhat. He said the grading plan and

the street. He stated the applicant had been asked to prepare the additional
exhibits shown on page 36 of the design guidelines showing increased
landscaped setbacks and buffers to be included at the intersections.

F. Site Characteristics:
The site is vacant and slopes gen~y from north to south.
II. ANALYSIS:
The purpose of this Parcel Ip is to create a single parcel for the
development of a gas station, mini-market and car wash. Approval of the
Tentative Parcel ~p is dependent upon approval of CUP 91-20 which is
also on tonight's agenda.
Both the CUP and the Parcel Ip were discussed at the Planning Conmnission
meeting of October 9, 1991. As a result of the discussion, the developer
has expanded the site southe~y to incorporate the driveway and 1 andscape
areas within the gas station parcel.
There are two other issues remaining:
1. Offsite Rochester Avenue Street Improvements - Staff is requiring
that the project construct the west hal f of Rochester Avenue from
Base Line Road to Church Street (the east hal f exists). This
requirement is consistent with the attached Tetra Vista P1 anned
Conmnunity Street Improvement Implementation Policy, which was
approved by the City Council on September 6, 1989. Because the
policy was approved by the City Council, the Planning Conanission
can not modify its requirements. However you can reconmnend
exceptions to the Council for' their consideration if the applicant
appeals the requirement.
The applicant asserts that the policy was intented for larger
projects and not a small gas station site. Staff does not recall
any discussion about limiting improvement requirements based upon
small project size during the formulation and approval of the
pol icy.
staff is requiring ro install off-site drainage
improvements in accordance with Tetra Vista Planned Community
Drainage Improvement Implementation Policy (copy attached) which
was also approved by the City Council on September 6, 1989.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The applicant completed Part I of the Initial
Study. Staff conducted a field investigation and completed Part II of
the Initial Study. No adverse impacts upon the environment are
anticipated as a result of this project. Therefore, issuance of Negative
Declaration is appropriate.
IV. CORRESPONDENCE: Notices of Publ ic Hearing have been sent to surrounding
ro erty owners and ~laced in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Posting

Re: Proposed Shell Station - Base Line and Rochester
Offsite Improvements
Dear Joe:
Recently we were informed by Shell that the Conditions of
Approval for its proposed service station include significant
offsite improvements. An investigation revealed that the basis
for those conditions is the Terra Vista Street and Drainage
Improvement Implementation Policy adopted in September, 1989
(i.e., the "Policy").
On .July 10, 1991, we met with staff and the Shell
representative, Ms. Kathy Lucien, to discuss the intent of the
Policy and address its application to a one-acre commercial
project. Staffs' initial reaction was that the Policy should
be applied to any development.
We disagree and request that the City consider the original
intent and objective of the Policy., i. e., to provide necessary
traffic and drainage mitigation in the context of 'large
residential developments. Those considerations do not apply
to this one-acre commercial development:
1. DrainaGe: Staff has acknowledged that the drainage
impact associated with this development is not of the
magnitude that was contemplated by the Policy. We
understand and agree that there are minor drainage
considerations which will be addressed. However, the
installation of the entire storm drain system from Base
Line to Foothill or the development of a retention
facility- to accommodate hundreds of acres is not
appropriate.
2. St[eet ~mprovements: We understand the intent of the
Policy. Specifically, we note that the line between Area
#6 and Area #7 (see attached graphic) was drawn so that .
a "Project" at the corner of Base Line and Rochester
Mr. Wm. Joe O'Neil
July 18, 1991
Page 2
would trigger the construction of appropriate segments
for both areas.
However, we submit that the Policy was established with
a large residential project in mind. This is evidenced
by the underlying land use designation (i.e., "M"
(medium-density)) shown on the graphic. The possibility
of a one-acre gas station development--with no
significant traffic impact on the Area #6 segment of
Rochester Avenue--was not contemplated.
Consequently, we request that the site be considered to
be within Area #7, (see attached graphic) which requires
the completion of all Base Line Road Improvements;
provided that appropriate improvements, including
transitions, would be made at the adjacent Rochester
frontage.
Perhaps a favorable administrative interpretation of the Policy
would suffice for both the drainage and street improvement
issues. Staff indicated that the street improvement issue
would be more problematic in this regard.
Therefore, we respectfully request a review by City Council of
the proposed modifications to the Policy. We defer to you to ·
identify the scope of that review.
We sincerely appreciate your assistance.
Very truly yours,
Vice President

ANALYSIS:
A. General: On December 28, 1988, the Planning Comntission reviewed
and approved the Master Plan and Phase I Development Plans for the
Rancho Cucamonga Distribution Center II (RCDC). Phase I
construction consisted of six buildings ranging in size from 36,470
to 265,500 square feet in area. Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 17 were
designed to accommodate manufacturing uses with Buildings 21 and 24
designed as large warehouse and distribution centers. All
buildings were constructed using painted concrete tilt-up panels in
white and grey tones. Glazing is provided in three colors (blue,
green, and grey) to provide accent at the entry areas and along the
street frontages.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 91-07 - HIMKS PETERS ARCHITECTS, INC.
December 11,199 1
Page 3
Phase II of RCDC consists of three warehouse/distribution buildings
ranging in size from 145,000 square feet to 214,000 square feet in
area. The architectural theme for the buildings is consistent with
Phase I, utilizing painted concrete tilt-up panels and colored
glass. Additionally, the entry areas of the buildings have been
upgraded to include sand-blasted concrete panels and a stainless
steel column as an entry accent. Buildings 22 and 23 are designed
to accommodate future rail service if desired by the tenant-
B. Design Review Committee: On October 3, 1991, the Design Review
Con~nittee (McNiel, Chitiea, Kroutil) reviewed the Phase II
development plans and recommended that the plans be revised to
address the following concerns:
1. Building 5 'should be revised to minimize the dominance of the
building at the comer of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken
Avenue. Suggested revisions include greater building setback
or lowering the building height.
2. The Milliken driveway for Building 5 should be shifted
southerly to provide additional landscaping on the north side
of the driveway- Extensive landscaping should be provided to
screen the truck loading area-
3- The sawtooth element presented by the applicant for the
southeast corner of Building 5 was acceptable to the Con~nittee
and should be incorporated into the revised plans.
On October 17, 1991, the Desi~ Review Con~nittee reviewed the
revised site plan elevations for the southeast corner of Building 5
and recommended approval- The plans provided two sawtooth elements
at the southeast corner of the building and a greater setback along
Jersey Boulevard-
C. Technical Review Committee: In aLpproving the 'RCDC master plan in
December of 1988, the Planning Commission established the driveway
locations along Arrow Route, Milliken Avenue, and Jersey
Boulevard- In reviewing the current proposal, staff notes that an
additional driveway is being proposed for Building 5 along the west
property boundary adjacent to an existing rail spur- The proposed
driveway is located roughly 210 feet westerly of the approved
driveway for Parcel 5 and approximately 92 feet east of an existing
driveway on the south side of Jersey Boulevard. In that Jersey
Boulevard is a secondary arterial collector street, current policy
requires that driveways on the same side of the street be spaced a
minimum of 300 feet and driveways on opposite sides of the street
be spaced a minimum distance of 235 feet (300 foot separation
preferred)- As a result, the driveway location is inconsistent
with City policy- This location of this particular driveway poses
an additional unique concern. The raised median islands for the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 91-07 - HIMES PETERS ARCHITECTS, INC..
December 11, 199 1
Page 4
railroad crossing prevents east tDund traffic from entering the
center left turn lane to turn .into the site. Vehicles (large
trucks in particular) will then be stopping in the travel lanes,
interfering with through traffic. Therefore, staff recou~nends that
the driveway be deleted. The applicant, however, feels that the
driveway is necessary in order to provide adequate truck
circulation for the site (See Exhibit "F").
D- Grading Committee: With the master plan approval, the Planning
Commission approved temporary water storage areas within truck and
automobile parking areas. These areas are necessary due to the
insufficient size of the existing storm drain pipe located at the
southern property boundary. Water will pond in the parking areas
of Parcel 21, between Parcels 22 and 23, and between Parcels 23 and
24 for a period of up to 4 hours- The ponding depths will not
exceed 18 inches in truck areas or 12 inches in automobile parking
areas.
With the new proposal, these ponding areas will be modified
slightly to accommodate the new footprints of the buildings. The
hydrology and hydraulic calculations for the new ponding areas have
been reviewed by staff and found to be consistent with the original
criteria established with the master plan for ponding depths and
duration.
E. Environmental Assessment: With the satisfactory completion of the
hydraulic and hydrology analysis of the ponding areas, staff has
determin'ed that the remaining potential environmental impact
centers around the safety of the additional driveway mentioned in
the Technical Review Committee section of this report- Because of
the safety concerns created by the new driveway, staff recommends
that the driveway be deleted in order to mitigate the potential
impacts (see Engineering Division Condition No. 5)- If, however,
the Planning Commission determines that other measures can be
incorporated into the plan to mitigate the potential impacts, the
appropriate conditions should be added to the Resolution. Staff
recommends that a mitigated Negative Declaration be issued for the
project.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The project is consistent with the General Plan,
the Industrial Specific Plan, and the Development Code. The project
will not be detrimental to the pub].ic health or safety, or cause
nuisances or significant adverse environmental impacts- In addition,
the proposed use and site plan, together with the recommended Conditions
of Approval, are in compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, Industrial Specific Plan, and City standards.

RE: Rancho Cucamonga Distribution Center II, Phase II
DR #91-07
Dear Scott:
On behalf of the project's developer, R.C.D.C. Development
Partners L.P., we are asking that the Planning Commission
consider our request for the Westerly Drive access off Jersey
Blvd. into Parcel 5. As you are aware, the engineering staff
would not end'orse our request because the proposed drive location
did not meet the strict criteria for proximity and distance to
adjacent drives.
·
The following are several reasons we believe our request is
reasonable:
This drive is essential to the safe operation of trucks on site
without undue interaction with employee and visitor vehicles. If
this drive access is denied, it will force trucks to make an
akward maneuver from the primary drive to the distribution side
of the building. The primary drive location was dictated by the
alignment of the fire station's service drive on the south side
of Jersey Blvd. The centerline distance between our two proposed
drives is in excess of 200 feet. Though this is less than the
distance prescribed by ordinance, we have been told our. request
would not be denied for this reason alone.
At the time of construction of the railroad grade crossing at
Jersey Blvd., raised medians will be cast which will protect the
proposed drive from conflict with the non-conforming drive
located on the southwesterly side of Jersey Blvd., west of the
grade crossing.
City of Rancho Cucamonga
November 21, 1991

The developer has agreed to place signage to restrict use of this
drive to a right turn in and out only. Our client feels strongly
enough for this drive request that even restricted use of the
drive would significantly enhance the. safe on-site maneuvering of
trucks and vehicles.
These are the primary reasons for our request. We appreciate
your mutdal concern for creating a safe. efficient development.
Thank you for your consideration and continued cooperation with
this project.

staff has highlighted several of the key elements of the standards
currently in place.
A- Approved Street Tree List:: This list reflects those trees which
have demonstrated reliable performance in the area in and around
Rancho Cucamonga- Trees which in the past have done poorly in the
wind or have demonstrated root problem have been omitted from the
list.
B. Tree Placement Standards: Standards have been established to avoid
tree planting where it may conflict with utilities or interfere
with sight distance. This was done to avoid the necessity of
removing trees as they mature.
C- Double Staked Trees (Within 5 feet of Hardsca~e): This detail
applies to probably 90 percent of all trees because of their common
locations between curbs and sidewalks. The gavel surrounding the
barrier hastens water movement to the root zone, thereby, promoting
deep rooting.
D- Double Staked Tree (No Root Barrier): This detail is employed
where there is ample planting area (with no potential for root
damaged hardscape within 5 feet). Note, that there is a perforated
pipe filled with gravel to encourage deep rooting. We are studying
the effectiveness of this requirement, and it may not be required
in the future-
ITEM W
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
TREE PLANTING DETAILS
December 11, 199 1
Page 2
Common to both of these double staked tree planting details is a
specified staking orientation which, combined with the flexible
tree ties, allows for tree movement between the stakes (not against
them). It is our policy to remove staking as soon as the trees can
support themselves.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission review the materials submitted on
the tree planting details- If further investigations are necessary,
staff should be directed to bring this matter back along with the
Planning Division's work program for consideration of setting
priorities-

RE: EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 398.
Dear Planning Commission Members:
As members of the I.C.A. International Carwash Association,
it has come to our attention about an ordinance'in your City
that we feel is not necessary and is extremely unjustified.
In reviewing your ordinance, we have noticed a series of issues
that should be readdressed at this time because there is no
emergency as before. The language of the ordinance appears
to be hastily drafted and without merit on certain issues.
We are especially concerned because your ordinance was
specifically generated for one situation, and it is now being
used to di=scriminate throughout your City. PoSsibly, unbe-
known to the Planning Commission and the City Council itself.
The ordinance was originally drafted in response to a
Conditional Use Permit on a property at Lemon and Haven, and
the language within the ordinance is too specific to that one
property, and not well thought out within the realm of self
service carwashes in general.
Specifically, "Section I: (c) An on site attendant shall
be provided at all times during business hours to control noise,
litter, and other nuisances." This statement within the
ordinance was a response to a specific agreement between the
proposed developer and the property owners, and should not be
the language within the ordinance. It entirely restricts the
basic concept of basic self service carwashes. Understanding
the meaning of self serve' itself clearly states the obvious,
that an attendant need not be present to wash the car or to
assist. While this requirement is common practice in an auto-
matic carwash or in a conveyor carwash, it is seldom the
policy of a self service carwash to have a full time attendant.
We feel this section was a carryover from the individual
case that was being reviewed at the time and should be re-
examined at this time.
Section I: (d) Specifically, hours of operation should
be dealt within the Conditional. Use Permit not within the
ordinance- Clearly, this was an exact carryover from the
individual case again, where the developer had agreed to
operate within specific hours of operation to appease this
specific neighborhood- Hours of operation within the ordin-
ance restricts trade without showing just cause, if cause
exists- For example~ if the neighbors complain, let the
conditional process establish the fair operational hours
if the concerns cannot be mitigated by the site development
itself-
Section [: (e) Minimum lot area within the ordinance
is entirely without. support in comparing it with any other
city within the Southern California area. To require 1 Acre
is entirely without justification- Based on the average
size of a self service carwash, it is typically less than 1/3
of an acre. We feel the ordinance should address the issue
of tangency with 1 Acre parcels and not 1 Acre by itself-
The City Planning Department should do research now to study
the sizes of self service carwashes in the industry throughout
Southern California and come up with a more realistic lot
size than 1 Acre.
The ordinance was drafted hastily and without a great
deal of research, and.~t shows very clearly. These issues~
that we have pointed out clearly are trying to restrict
development of self service carwashes within neighborhood
commercial zones.
We are sure that the City wants self service carwashes, and
the Community wants them. They save water. They are energy
efficient, and they provide a service necessary in the Commun-
ity.
We formally request a hearing to discuss Emergency
Ordinance 398 before the Planning Commission, so the ordinance
can be discussed and potentially modified.
Sincerely,
Autowash Concepts, Inc.
