Comments are to be limited to five minutes per individual. ADJOURNMENT I, Debra J. Adams, City Clerk of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, or my designee, hereby certify that a true, accurate copy of the foregoing agenda was posted on December 14, 2000, seventy two (72) hours prior to the meeting per Government Code 54954.2 at 10500 Civic Center Drive. May 15, 2000 Mr. Joe Hanna The harmas~earthlink.net SUBJECT: SAPPHIRE STREET Dear Joe, Thank you for your letter. I will attempt to answer your questions about the traffic counts and accident history for Sapphire Street. 1, The traffic counts are what we call "approach volumes". Where the traffic count says "east leg", it means, "tFaffic approaching the subject intersection from the east". VChere the traffic count says "west leg", it means, "traffic approaching the subject intersection from the west". Traffic leaving the intersection is not counted. The northbound and southbound traffic count on Sapphire Street was taken in between High!and and Lemon. 2. (see #1) 3. The 85¢~ Percentlie speed on Sapphire Street between 19th and Banyan is 43 mph. The 85m peroentil6 speed is determined by observing the speed of 100 vehicles with a radar gun. This determination is also required in order to enforce speed limits with radar. The posted speed limit on Sapphire Street is 40 mph. Therefore; the 70% volume warrant should be used. A copy of the Traffic and Engineering Survey for Sapphire Street will be sent to you by regular mail. 4. Accident Experience. The accident records were checked for the time period beginning on January 1, 1995 through June 30, 1999. (The accident summary data is published quarterly by the California Highway Patrol, and typically runs 6-8 months behind. We currently have accident data up until June 30, 1999.) These accident records indicate that there have been 3 accidents at Sapphire and Highland, and 2 accidents at Sapphire and Lemon. The traffic records also identified 5 mid-block accidents on Sapphire between 19t~ Street and Banyan Street. A copy of the accident summary data will be sent to you by regular mail. 5. Sapphire Street and Banyan Street are designated as two lane collector streets in the City's General Plan. Carnelian Street is designated as a multi-lane major arterial street south on Banyan Street, and as a collector street north of Banyan Street. Wilson Avenue is designated as a 4 lane secondary h!ghway. Wilson Avenue is planned to extend all the way over to the 1-15 Freeway eventually. 6. I have not yet analyzed the data or made a recommendation yet. I have discussed this issue with the City Engineer, and asked when he would like to hold the public heating. We have just finished the public hearings regarding the closure of Highland Avenue between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue. So far, we have had three separate public meetings during which approximately 7 hours of public testimony was presented. The biggest surprise was how courteously, articulately, and passionately both sides were while speaking on the issue. What was decided was to keep Highland Avenue closed until after the new Route 30 Freeway opens, and then we will hold more public hearings on the issue. I hope that I have answered your questions. If you have any additional questions, please give me a call at (909) 477- 2740, extension 4051. Sincerely, Community Development Department Engineering Division Jon A. Gillespie Traffic Engineer cc. William J. O'Neil, City Engineer Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager 0515harm Jon, I received the traffic count information from you last Thursday and the City of Los Angeles guidelines on Friday. Thank you for both of these pieces of information. I have a few questions. 1) In the data, the traffic volumes on Sapphire are clearly labeled north bound and south bound. The data for Lemon and Highland is labeled east leg and west leg. Do the east leg and west leg counts include traffic in both directions for each leg or is the count strictly traffic entering the intersection? 2) If the east leg and west leg data is bidirectional, what are the guidelines for determining how much traffic is entering the intersection from those legs? (50%?) With regard to the guidelines, a few more questions: 3) Section D-I, Minimum volume states that when the 85th percentile approach speed of traffic exceeds 40 mph for the period of interest (I'm paraphrasing) the minimum volume is 70% of the requirement. I suspect that the data doesn't support the necessity, but is a speed survey warranted or does ~peed data exist? 4) Section D-2, Accident Experience. I'm curious what the data shows for 'this, both before and since the stop sign installation. 5) With regard to sections D-8, D-9, and D-10, I'm not sure what the designation for Sapphire would be. I consider it an arterial. I see local and collector streets referred to in these sections. I believe that streets such as Banyan and Wilson are considered minor arterials. Sapphire's use is more critical than those routes due to the lack of an acceptable alternate. What is your guidance on this? 6) Has staff reviewed the data and developed a recommendation? I'd rather hear the recommendation and discuss it based on facts rather than try to make sense of it all at an emotional public hearing. I've been to those before and find that most of the public takes advantage of it as an excuse to vent. If this comes to a hearing I will attend, but they tend to be long, tiresome, and generally non-productive. I don't know if you can use it or not, but I've transferred the data you sent me to an Excel workbook so I can analyze it. I haven't done that yet, I've only done a traffic flow volume chart. The "raw" data follows on the subsequent worksheets. Thank you for your consideration on this issue. I look forward to continuing to work productively with you.

Hanna 5886 Turquoise Ave. Alta Loma, CA 91701-2533 January 16, 2000 Jon Gillespie, Traffic Engineer City ofRancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Dr. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730-0807 SUBJECT: Stop Signs on Sapphire Street at Lemon Avenue and at Highland Avenue Dear Mr. Gillespie: Thank yo~ for your December 22 reply to my letter of November 26 wherein I requested the removal of the temporary stop signs on Sapphire. I'm delighted to hear that city staff is monitoring traffic at the intersection of Sapphire and Lemon and also at the intersection of Sapphire and Highland. Since the area served by Sapphire street has been built out for a number of years I was surprised to hear that the daily traffic count had increased from approximately 8,000 per day to approximately 11,000 per day. That count was conducted from December 9th through December 13th. I'm certain that you are aware that there is a seasonal increase in traffic every year on Sapphire. Those particular days were among the first heavy traffic days of the Thoroughbred Avenue Christmas light display this year. While I'm not sure exactly how much traffic that event draws, an increase of 1,500 vehicles (3,000 additional traffic counts) per day is not unexpected. On Decembei 291h and 30th I spent a combined total of approximately 5 hours at the above mentioned intersections. During this time I collected signatures of persons who feel as I do that the stop signs at the above mentioned intersections should be removed. While I realize that this is not a voting situation, you mentioned in your reply that you had received over 50 responses to keep the stops. I was compelled to generate a rebuttal. The response I received to asking that the signs be removed was overwhelmingly positive. I also had the opportunity to observe traffic flow at the intersections and can assure you that the little traffic accessing Sapphire from either Highland or Lemon would have no great difficulty due to the frequent breaks in the flow. However, there were frequent backups on Sapphire of 4 to 5 vehicles with no cross traffic on either Highland or Lemon. I have been in a lineup of 10 vehicles at the Highland stop after the tuna arrow on 19o' at Sapphire releases vehicles to queue at the stops. It is extremely fn~st~ating for motorists to line up at these signs for no reason. I've followed trucks up Sapphire that cannot accelerate to 25 mph between stops. On the remove the signs side, I had many folks thank me for ~rying to get something done about the signs. These were from folks who added a couple of minutes their daily commute to take the time to read and. sign nay petition. A lot of folks were unable to take the time to sign but if I had received a signature for every "thumbs up" sign I saw, the count would have ~ipted. Some of the signers live within a block of the intersection(s). One signer was a motorcycle officer who lives in Rancho (but is employed by another agency) who commented that the signs were being incorrectly used to try to control the speed of traffic in violation of state guidelines. As a motor officer his primary responsibility is traffic enforcement so I will presume he is cognizant in that area. On the keep the signs side, I had interactions with 4 or 5 residents who live in the immediate vicinity of the intersections. My first discussion (actually I listened as he screamed at me) was with a "gentleman" who lives on Highland near Sapphire. I was verbally assaulted for wanting the signs removed and told that "those morons from up the hill drive too fast down Sapphire." He proceeded to tell petition signers that by signing my petition they were voting for mayhem and destruction (or other word~ to that effect). I had a 1 (Ore0 nice discussion with a man who lives at the comer of Sapphire and Lemon. His primary concern was for children crossing Sapphire. I gave him a copy of the city traffic division web page which addresses this situation. Another discussion was with a lady who also lives near Sapphire and Lemon. As far as I could tell, her requirement to keep the signs was that there is a school bus stop there. Last time I checked state law required vehicles to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights. I had another discussion with a gen~eman who also lives on Sapphire near Lemon who said that he likes the sign there because it reduces the noise (?). I was sitting there and believe me, listening to accelerating vehicles for an hour is no t~eat). He feels that the sign at Lemon is good and the one at Highland is unnecessary. "Too many, too close together" is how I remember him saying it. One other interaction was with a driver evidently displaying his IQ with an extended middle digit. I'll presume that he prefers stopping at these intersections. A few of the folks on both sides said that they had already contacted you on this issue. I don't envy your position with this issue as I have teamed that it is highly emotionally charged. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised since I was appalled at both road closure meetings (Sapphire and Carnelian) by the behavior of many of the attendees. Nonetheless, we were assured at the meeting for the closure of Carnelian that the control devices being added to Sapphire were to be in place for the duration of the detour only. We certainly were blindsided when the temporary signal at Highland was replaced by a stop sign but it got the message across. As an aside, over th~ years I have had carpoolers who live on streets accessed from Sapphire on Celestite, Orange, and Alta Loma Drive. I, and they, have never had a particular problem entering of exiting Sapphire. I still don't and there are no stop signs for Sapphire at these intersections. Occasionally a wait of a few seconds is required but there have always been frequent traffic breaks. In your reply you mentioned several important traffic factors you mentioned that you would focus on during the period you will be monitoring traffic on Sapphire. If l may, I would like to comment on each item. The geometry and grade of Sapphire Street. The geometry and grade of Sapphire have not changed in many years. The traffic has flowed freely and without serious incident to the best of my knowledge for as many years. I strongly suspect that a realistic and representative traffic count will show that traffic counts on Sapphire will resemble those taken in 1993. The geometry and grade that worked then still applies. The amount of difficulty residents living of Sapphire are having when backing out of their driveways. Starting at Banyan on the east side of Sapphire, I'll describe the situation for each block. On the east side of Sapphire between Banyan and Lemon there are 13 homes. Only five or so of the most southerly five homes are affected by the stop sign. Of these 13 homes, one has a circle chive and most of the balance are equipped with tumabouts or very wide driveways which can preclude the need to back into traffic. On the east side of Sapphire between Lemon and Orange there are 7 homes. All of these homes have circle drives precluding the need to back into traffic. On the east side of Sapphire f~om Orange to 19~ there are no homes. On the west side of Sapphire from Banyan to Lemon (Marble) there arc no homes. On the west side of Sapphire from Lemon (Marble) to Orange there are no homes. On the west side of Sapphire, approximately at Orange (Orange does not extend west of Sapphire) there is a preschool..This school is accessed by 2 driveways although most traffic uses the south driveway. No pedestrian traffic is generated by the pre-school. The stop signs at Lemon and Highland offer no %enefif' to traffic at this preschool and none is necessary. On the west side of Sapphire, from the pre-sehool to Highland there are 4 homes. The driveways of these homes all have tumabouts which can preclude the need to back into traffic. On the west side of Sapphire from Highland to Garden Court there are 4 homes. They all have extra wide drives or turnabouts. On the west side of Sapphire from Garden Court to 19~ there are 3 homeR. These homes are all close · to 19m street and are not affected bY the stop signs in questibm Conclusion: There are approximately 14 homes on Sapphire in the vicinity of the stop signs in question. The vast majority of these homes have provision for safe access to Sapphire without the necessity of stop signs. 3. The potential for rear-end type accidents when residents stop on Sapphire Street before making a left turn into their driveways. Only 14 'of the 32 homes requiring driveway access to Sapphire are in the vicinity of the stop signs. Furthermore, dai~y traffic patterns and the positions of the homes would provide possibly 6 homes with "benefit" for this type of accident. 4. School bus stops on Sapphire at Alia Loma Drive and at Lemon Avenue. There is no stop for Sapphire at Alta Loma Drive. Furthermore, the state vehicle code requires that vehicles stop for school buses with flashing red lights. This in effect makes school busses mobile stop signs. 5. Students living on the west side of Sapphire Street need to cross Sapphire Street when going to and from school. Not if they take the bus. Bus stops are on the west side of Sapphire. Additionally, your own web page cites the danger of stop signs and children crossing the streets. If this is truly a factor, school crossing guards should be present at appointed times. 6. There is a school located on the west side of Sapphire Street in-between Orange Street and Marble Avenue. Traffic conditions near this school need to be reviewed. This is a pre-school with no pedeslrian traffic. There are two driveways and a large parking lot. The school is set back quite far from Sapphire Street. This location is approximately mid-way between the signs in question. Traffic is up to speed at this point and hopefully not driving faster between stop signs as your web page says may happen if the stop signs are considered a nuisance. To my knowledge there has been no serious incident at the pre-school. If you could, I would like to have access to new traffic and pedestrian counts after they are taken. Motor vehicle accident statistics/severity at these intersections for the past several years would also be informative as would your assessment of whether the signs would have prevented any of the accidents. My personal take on this situation is that some of the folks who live on or near Sapphire would like it to be a quiet little side street. Unfommately that is not the case and cannot be. Sapphire Street is an arterial street and it should have priority for traffic flow. Many residents use Sapphire as an arterial to access 19a' Street for access to places west of Sapphire. Carnelian is not a viable alternative, nor is it likely that Banyan will ever connect west of the city limit. Please alleviate the traffic backups, reduce air pollution, and save energy by removing these stop signs. Attached you will find copies of a petition that requests that the stop signs on Sapphire at Lemon and at Highland be removed. These have been copied as double sided. The originals are available if they are 3 (Over) necessary. No exIxaordinary attempt was made to collect these signatures. This was done on a very casual basis. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to write or contact me by telephone at 909-989- 2346. Sincerely, Joseph D.

J Date: Signature: Phone: City, State Zip Date: Rancho Cucamonga, Traffic - Stop Signs http://www.ci.rancho-cucamonga.ca.us/engr~ubworks/stopsign.ht~ Stop Signs WHY DON'T THEY PUT IN MORE STOP SIGNS? A stop sign is one of our most valuable and effective control devices when used at the right place and under the right conditions. It is intended to help drivers and pedestrians at an intersection decide who has the right-of-way. One common misuse of stop signs is to arbitrarily interrupt through traffic, either by causing it to stop, or by causing such an inconvenience as to force the traffic to use other routes. Where stop signs are installed as "nuisances" or "speed breakers," there is a high incidence of intentional violation. In those locations where vehicles do stop, the speed reduction is effective only in the immediate vicinity of the stop sign, and frequently speeds are actually higher between intersections. For these reasons, it should not be used as a speed control device. A school crossing may look dangerous for children to use, causing parents to demand a stop sign to halt traffic. Now a vehicle which had been a problem for 3 seconds while approaching and passing the intersection becomes a problem for a much longer period. A situation of indecision is created as to when to cross as a pedestrian or when to start as a motorist. Normal gaps in traffic through which crossings could be made safely no longer exist. An intersection which previously was not busy no~v looks like a major intersection. It really isn't -- it just looks like it. It doesn't even look safer, and it usually isn't. Most drivers are reasonable and prudent with no intention of maliciously violating traffic regulations; however, when an unreasonable restriction is imposed, it may result in flagrant violations. In such cases, the stop sign can create a false sense of security in a pedestrian and an attitude of contempt in a motorist. These two attitudes can and often do conflict with tragic results. Well-developed, nationally recognized guidelines help to indicate when such controls become necessary. These guidelines take into consideration, among other things, the probability of vehicles arriving at an intersection at the same time, the length of time traffic must wait to enter, and the availability of safe crossing opportunities. INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGhNEERS REPRINTED BY THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA I of 2 12/23/1999 2:03 Joseph Hanna 5886 Turquoise Ave. Alia Loma, CA 91701-2533 November 26, 1999 Jon Gillespie, Traffic Engineer City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Dr. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730-0807 Dear Mr. Gillespie: This letter is an appeal to you regarding the traffic control situation on Sapphire Street. As you are aware ' Sapphire St. is an arterial street serving those who live in the extreme northwest section of the city. As such it is the only convenient access we have to the south and west since there is no access to points west of the city without traveling south to 19th Street. With the consfruction of Route 30, more specifically the Sapphire Street bridge over the future route 30, all of the residents of this sectiou of the city were inconvenienced by the closure of Sapphire Street for the duration of the construction. Since my workplace (and many of my other pursuits) is/are located to the west, this resulted in two additional miles of driving (one going, one returning) for each endeavor. Other residents and I gladly endured this inconvenience and salute the planners and the construction crews who quickly built the bridge. I artended the city meeting with Caltrans, SANBAG, and the city representatives prior to the start of the construction and discussed our concerns. The Caltrans representative did suggest that since access would not be available to 19th Street via Sapphire, one of the other westbound streets should be taken over to Euclid Ave. He was a little taken aback when he was informed that there were no other westbound streets! Prior to the start of the construction of the Carnelian Ave sewer and bridge project, I attended another meeting with the representatives of the various organizations. Needless to say, many residents were upset that Carnelian was going to be closed. My feeling was if it speeds the construction, I was for it. It was explained that Sapphire Street was going to be used as the westerly detour (no surprise here) and tl~at TEMPORARY stop signs would be placed on Sapphire at Lemon and a TEMPORARY signal would be placed on Sapphire at Highland. These measures were deemed necessary to handle the increased flow of traffic due to the detour. Once again let me repeat, we were assured by the city traffic representative at this meeting that the traffic control devices on Sapphire would be TEMPORARY. On November 13 Carnelian was opened traffic. Within several days the traffic level on Sapphire returned to the pre-constmction levels (the northwest section of the city has been nearly built out for many years and little additional traffic is resulting from development) and I expected that the TEMPORARY control devices at Lemon and at Highland would be removed. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed that the TEMPORARY signal was replaced with a 4 way stop and the TEMPORARY 4 way stop at Lemon was not removed. I believe that the 4 way stops at Sapphire and Lemon and at Sapphire and Highland are a hazard. To find evidence supporting this I had to look no ~Lrther than the City of Raneho Cucamonga web page. These stop signs clearly meet your definition of "nuisance" or "speed breakers". Your web page continues on to say that stop signs do not effectively reduce speed and often result in higher speeds on portions of the road between stop signs. I'll not quote the entire page here, please see the attachment. Furthermore, the AQMD has discouraged th~ unnecessary use of stop signs for many years since it is documented that they increase air pollution. Not only do you get the additional pollution from vehicles accelerating from a dead stop; you get an extra dose since on the uphill grade it takes much more energy to accelerate a vehicle. On the downhill nm you experience the accelerated wear of braking components and the brake dust that ensues. I don't know if you've had the experience of following a heavy vehicle up Sapphire. Generally the exhaust will choke you. I'd imagine that diesel hueks repeatedly accelerating from the stop signs would be a joy to both drivers and residents of Sapphire Street alike. My experience dd~ing Sapphire Street for many years has been that of no problems at the aforementioned intersections. This includes both as through traffic on Sapphire and as traffic accessing Sapphire from both Lemon and Highland. Further, there is almost no through traffic on either Lemon or Highland. Highland dead ends only a couple of hundred feet west of Sappbixe and serves fewer than a dozen homes. Lemon crosses Sapphire and becomes Marble west of Sapphire with only a few homes served also. As an example of how an arterial street can be rendered nearly useless one simply has to look to our city's neighbor to the west. In the city of Upland, San Antonio Avenue has a 4 way stop at every cross street. When I've been invited to the home of a friend at work who lives on San Antonio Ave., he has specifically directed me to alternate routes saying that the residents of the area will not use San Antonio since it is such a nuisance. Luckily they have the luxury of alternate north/south artcrisis both to the east and west. We have no alternative to the west. I don't think that t~affic has moved too fast on Sapphire. Speed enforcement has been infrequent, most likely because it was unprofitable. City traffic counts show approximately 4,000 vehicles per day each northbound and southbound on Sapphire for the affected area. The traffic count on Lemon was approximately 10% of the amount on Sapphire. No statistics were found for Highland but it runs only from Camelian to Sapphire and therefore would likely have even less traffic. The disproportionate amount of traffic on Sapphire clearly shows that it should have the right of way at these intersections. Traffic has flowed smoothly on Sapphire for many years with little in the way of problems at these intersections. Now that Carnelian is again open, it is time to return Sapphire to the status quo. I respectfully request that the stop signs on Sapphire at Lemon and at Highland be removed. Sincerely, COl William J. O'Neil, City Engineer William J.

You have asked for the removal of stop signs on Sapphire Street at Lemon Avenue and Highland Avenue. As you are aware, these stop signs were installed to enhance traffic safety during the closure of Carnelian Street fur the construction of the Carnelian Street Bridge at the future Route 30 Freeway. On December 9th through 13th, City staff collected traffic count data on Sapphire Street, Highland Avenue and Lemon Avenue. Our analysis of the traffic count data indicates that the amount of traffic on Sapphire Street has increased from approximately 8,000 vehicles per day before construction to an average of over 11,000 vehicles per day after Carnelian Street has re-opened. In addition, City staff has received over 50 responses from residents requesting that the stop signs on Sapphire Street remain in place for various reasons. Based on this information, City staff will continue to monitor this area over the next several months to see if there is any change in current conditions. During that time we will be focusing our efforts on several important traffic factors, which are as follows: · The geometry and grade of Sapphire Street · The amount of difficulty residents living on Sapphire Street are having when backing out of their driveways. · The potential of rear-end type accidents when residents stop on Sapphire Street before making a left turn into their driveways. · School bus stops on Sapphire Street at Alta Lama Drive and Lemon Avenue. · Students living on the west side Of Sapphire Street need to cross Sapphire Street when going to and from school. · There is a school located on the west side of Sapphire Street in-between Orange Street and Marble Avenue. Traffic conditions near this school need to be reviewed. City staff expects to conclude review of these factors in March of 2000. Mayor William J.

Willia.~O~'Ne~ City Engineer WJO:DB:ju J¢ Staff Report DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: December 20, 2000 Mayor and Members of City Council Brad Buller City Planner EXTENSION OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MULTI-SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (SBV MSHCP) BY AMENDMENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2002. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor, by minute order, to sign the attached Amendment to the previous MOU, for a 2- year time extension, for the San Bernardino Valley Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. BACKGROUND: The SBV MSHCP is a comprehensive habitat and species conservation planning effort, which is intended to address the endangered, and sensitive habitat needs and preservation in San Bernardino Valley (SBV), San Bernardino County. The SBV MSHCP region encompasses approximately 1300 square kilometers (500 square miles) in size. This region comprises 15 biological study units, 13 federally endangered and threatened species, 6 state endangered and threatened species, over 53 state species of special concern, and 8 unique habitat types. There are 13 local governments, the County of San Bernardino, and state and federal agencies participating in the SBV MSHCP. This effort was formally entered into by a "Memorandum of Understanding," approved by the City in 1995, and extended by amendment on January 7, 1998. Although the current MOU is due to expire on December 31, 2000, the County has requested an additional 2-year extension (see attached County letter dated November 21, 2000 for reference). The additional time is needed because of previous funding delays and unexpected Iogistic delays. The added time will be used to complete habitat surveys, mapping, and analysis for the draft plan. Respectfully submitted, Brad Buller, City Planner BB:LJH\Is Attachments: County letter dated November 21, 2000 Amendment to SBV MSHCP MOU November 21, 2000 JERRY EAVES SUPERVISOR, FIFTH DISTRICT Mr. William Alexander Mayor City of Rancho Cucamonga P.O. Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 RE: Extension of Memorandum of Understanding for the San Bernardino Valley '- ' bitat Conservation Plan In 1995, the County, a number of cities located within the San Bernardino Valley, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game, and several utility companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to prepare a Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) for the San Bernardino Valley. In 1997, the MOU was renewed with a revised termination date of December 31, 2000. Though the MOU has been in effect for a number of years, significant progress towards developing the MSHCP began in earnest in 1999 when the County allocated funds to provide the requisite match for federal funding. Over the last two years, these funds have enabted the County to construct a comprehensive biological database of historic species occurrences and to initiate biological surveys throughout the valley. In addition, efforts are underway to develop two subregional habitat conservation plans that can be incorporated into the MSHCP. The County will use the funds recently contributed by the cities as matching funds for obtaining federal matching funds for habitat conservation planning. Enclosed please find an amendment to the MOU, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 21, 2000, that provides for participation by two additional jurisdictions and extends the termination date to December 31,2002. Assuming we are able to secure a consistent source of funds, this new termination date should allow enough time to prepare a plan for consideration by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game, and participating cities.

COMMUNITY SERVICES GROUP AND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council, by minute action, approve the Service Agreement for lender services and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. BACKGROUND The City of Rancho Cucamonga's Home Improvement Program has been using Bank of America for lending services since 1992 and Security Pacific Bank prior to the Security Pacific/Bank of America merger. Since June of 2000, Bank of America has been phasing out 'Title 1' home repair loans with the ultimate goal of discontinuing this service altogether. Requests for proposals for banking services were solicited from several local banks. Staff has determined that the services to be provided by U.S.E. Community Services Group in connection with the processing of the loans will promote the continued successful operation of the Home Improvement Program. The term of the agreement shall be for one year from the date of execution by the City of Rancho Cucamonga and U.S.E. Community Services Group. The Agreement's specified service charges should not exceed $5,000.00 for the total year and these charges are typically passed onto the homeowner and are included in the cost of their loan secured by a Deed of Trust.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor to sign the Historic Property Preservation Agreement as unanimously recommended by the Historic Preservation Commission and staff. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: This structure is significant both architecturally and historically, because of its unique architecture. Though there are other Queen Anne structures within the City, none are the size and grandeur of this house. H.D. Cousins, a ship builder and lumberman from Eureka built the house in 1904. In 1910 the site and structure was sold to John Whitson who became involved in citrus and egg ranching. The Whitson family owned it until 1977, and for a period of time the County Museum Association owned the structure. It has been used as a Bed and Breakfast Inn since 1984. The tax benefits received from the Mills Act Agreement would help to off-set some of the maintenance costs. The house received the name "Christmas House" due to the lavish parties that the Whitsons held during the Christmas Season, and because of the red and green stained glass windows in the upper side gables.

Cousins House/Christmas House, a historic landmark located at 9240 Archibald Avenue- APN: 020-932-173. BACKGROUND Historical Sianificance: This structure is significant both architecturally and historically, because of its unique architecture. Though there are other Queen Anne structures within the City, none are of the size and grandeur of this house. The house was built by H.D. Cousins in 1904 of redwood. Cousins was a ship builder and lumberman from Eureka. He built the structure as part of a plan to raise thoroughbred horses; however in 1910, the structure was sold to John Whitson, who became involved in citrus and egg ranching. The Whitson family owned it until 1977 and for a period of time the structure was owned by the county museum association. In 1983, it was the subject of a proposal to relocate to a regional park to be used as a cultural center. Prior to the current owners' purchasing it, it was for used as a Bed and Breakfast Inn. The house received the name "Christmas House" due to the lavish parties that the Whitsons held during the Christmas Season and because of the red and green colored stained glass windows in the upper side gables. Site Characteristics: The site is relatively flat. It consists of 135 feet of frontage along Archibald Avenue. It is immediately surrounded by low density housing units (3 dwelling units per acre). The home retains its setting due to the large set back from Archibald Avenue to the east. ANALYSIS General: The house is a two and a half story rectangular structure of the free classic Queen Anne style. The roof is cross gable with wood shake shingles. A polygonal tower with an "S" shaped curved room is located on the southeast corner. The tower roof has 6Y~1~|T ,~,~, ITEM A ~_~2~2~ HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 00-03 - JAMES AND JANICE ILSLEY December 13, 2000 Page 2 decorative fish scale shingles and finial. A front gable has oval window with decorative molding and shingle siding. The upper windows are double hung and the lower windows are rectangular fixed with twin transoms, which have an "X' pattern. The siding is flush board. A full-length single story porch extends along the front of the house. Columns are paired on a pedestal with turned spindle balustrade. The front steps are of concrete and straight run. The foundation material is of fieldstone. Interesting landscape features include two mature palm trees on either side of the entrance walk, and two rows of windmill palms on both the north and south sides of the property. B. Landmark Desianation: The subject site and structure were designated a Historic Landmark on September 7, 1983, by the City Council (Exhibit "C"). Mills Act Aareement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act Agreement. The Agreement Schedule List of Improvements has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference. The concept of the Mills Act program is to provide an incentive for the property owner to protect and preserve the property by retaining its characteristics of historical significance. This intent is encouraged through the reduction of property taxes, thus enabling the property owner to reinvest the money saved from the reduced property tax on imprevements. The properties that enter into the agreement are to be inspected by City staff on an annual basis to determine whether notable progress has been made in rehabilitating the property. Staff estimates the property tax savings to the owner could be as much as 60 per cent of the current tax rate. The exact amounts are dependent upon the County Assessor's property valuation, which is based on income potential and capitalization rate at the time of assessment. D. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Class 8 of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend approval by minute action to the City Council for the Mills Act Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Landmark Designation 00-04 by adoption of the attached Resolution as unanimously recommended by the Historic Preservation Commission and staff. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The site located at 9488 19th Street has played a large part in Alta Loma History since 1886. The building that currently stands on the northwest corner of 19th Street and Amethyst Avenue was built by Henry Klusman in 1921, The purpose of this building was to replace the Hermosa School, the first school building in the AIta Loma area; it also served as the Community Center for the growing area. On September 12, 2000, Conditional Use Permit 00-26 was approved. Both the applicant and staff agreed upon additional conditions of approval, including the submission of an application requesting landmark status of the building and site. Per a letter from the applicant dated July 6, 2000, the applicant plans to restore the facade of the building to its original design. This includes the removal of the rock wainscoting, the re-addition of the Mission style parapet, and the re-stuccoing, and/or repainting of the structure in a color similar to the current color.

BACKGROUND A. Historical Sia nificance: The site located at 9488 19th street has played a large part in Alta Loma History since 1886. The building that currently stands on the northwest corner of 19th Street and Amethyst Avenue was built by Henry Klusman in 1921. The purpose of this building was to replace the Hermosa School, the first school building in the AIta Loma area; it also served at the community center for the growing area. According to The History of Alta Loma California 1880-1980, written by Martha Ganes Stoebe, a school district was formed in September of 1884 and in 1886 bonds were approved to build the Hermosa School at the northwest corner of 19th Street (called Olive) and Amethyst Avenue. The schoolhouse had a library separating its two rooms, each student was allotted a small piece of ground for gardening, part of the curriculum at that time. In 1915, a small classroom building was added to the site and in 1917 the school was wired for electricity. In 1919 bonds were again passed to build a new school to accommodate the growing population; the old buildings were moved back on the lot and used while the new one was under construction. The fate of the old main building is unknown, but the smaller building was moved to Monte Vista Street and served as the home of the school's janitor. The new building, built in the Mission style, was completed and occupied in 1921. The new AIta Loma School contained four classrooms and an auditorium on the main floor, and a basement, which served as classroorr,s and later as a cafeteria. In addition to serving as a schoolhouse, the building also fulfiiled the needs of a growing community. The Boy Scouts used the basement for their meetings; the PTA held dinners and gatherings in the building, May Day and Christmas programs were also held at the school. B. Site Characteristics: The site follows street grade. It is comprised of a 2.42-acre lot, with 200 feet of frontage along 19th Street and 396 feet along Amethyst Avenue. Land use to the north is High Residential, (24-30 dwelling units per acre). To the south, land use is single family residential and is zoned as Low Residential, (2-4 dwelling units per acre). HPC STAFF REPORT LD 00-04 - CITY OF RC December 13, 2000 Page 2 Offices are located to the east and a post office is located to the northeast. It is zoned as Office/Professional. To the west, land use is single family residential and zoning is Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre). Previous Approvals: The site was first designated as a Historic Point of Interest in 1988 (Exhibits G and H). The first Conditional Use Permit was approved on October 25, 1989, (Conditional Use Permit 89-17) to establish a chumh. The improvements recommended by staff at that time were consistent with the wishes of the Historic Preservation Commission regarding the rehabilitation and restoration of the site. The improvements recommended included: the removal of the rock terrace, and the return of the front steps to the original design as well as the refurbishment of the building to its original architectural treatment in the Mission style. Because of the short length of time that the church owned the property, these improvements were never made. The current Conditional Use Permit 00-26 was approved on September 12, 2000. Both the applicant and staff agreed upon additional conditions of approval, including the submission of an application requesting landmark status of the building and site. Per a letter from the applicant dated July 6, 2000, the applicant plans to restore the facade of the building to its original design (Exhibit F). This includes the removal of the rock wainscoting, the re-addition of the Mission Style parapet, and the re-stuccoing, or repainting of the structure in a color similar to the current color. ANALYSIS A. General: A two-story concrete structure resting on a raised basement, the building is rectangular in plan with a small porch addition to the south side of the building. The building features a false front. A composition roof caps the structure. Concrete stucco acts as an exterior finish to the structure. The south side staircase is clad in rock with concrete steps. A prominent, curved, Mission style roof parapet was the original fa(~ade of the structure and has since been removed. The simple rectangular building is made of concrete and had bands of windows in the front. Rock siding has been added to the building as well as a rock--covered wall that encloses the original front stairway that, at one time, created a grand front entrance to the building. In addition, generous green space has been removed for asphalt parking areas. (Exhibits A and B). Although the building has undergone some major renovations over time, it is possible to return the building to its original facade. With th~ restoration of the steps and facade, a determination of architectural significance can be made. The building and site are historically significant. It housed the Alta Loma School, which was of major importance to the early AIta Loma community, and the site is significant because it was the site of the Hermosa School built there over 100 years ago. The Alta Loma School was important to virtually everyone who had children or who participated in annual events. It was paid for and used by families of ranchers and merchants who created Hermosa, lamosa, and finally AIta Loma. The school was at the heart of community life for many years.

Attached to this letter please find our application for the non*construction CUP and all requested drawings and materials. The following is our plan for this property. Subject Property The subject property is about sixteen thousand square feet two story building located at the North West comer of 19~ street and Amethyst Avenue. This building is currently vacant. It is located in a nice area of the City. But it needs a lot of minor repairs. Previously this building was a school. Before that it was used as a church. Prior to that it was used as senior housing, and prior to that it was the site of the first Alta Loma School house. Per Mr. Larry Henderson, the city is interested to make this site a historic landmark and we will cooperate With the City to do so. I am sure the City is n~ore informed about the background of this building than we are. Our Usage Rancho Heritage Childcare Center (RHCC) The first level is to be used as our childcare center. We will accept infants and toddlers as our students. Our working hours will be from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM six days a week. Per department of children services guidelines, we will have enough space to serve about 80 students. We will have about 12 teachers and staff. The facility will be fully licensed by the appropriate government agencies before starting the operation. Rancho Heritage School (RHS) The second level is to be used as our private non-sectarian elementary school. We will have enough room to have kindergarten to sixth grade. This operation will not start right away. We are running late for the up coming academic year of 2000-2001, RHS will start operation and only for first and second graders on September 2001. We will add the grades as these two grades move forward. ' :,i : '. - .. Our working hours for the RHS is 8,';J~ to 3 PM. The maxi~u~ number of students will be less than100. The number of teachers and staffs will be about 12. Expertise & Background This operation will be fully licensed by proper agencies of the County and State. We have on our board of directors experts such as Dr. Shed Senter who has a doctorate degree in early childhood education from USC. She will be responsible for most polldes and procedures design and implementation. She is a consultant to many large corporations in their childcare facility design and management. She is a member of board of directors of two private elementary sChools in Orange County. All teachers and staff of the school will be fully in compliance with the State of Califomia's requirements. Remodeling Plans Current layout of this building is quite suitable for our project. We have to do some minor floor layout changes. We are not planning to make any change to site plan with a few minor exceptions. 1. Site Plan - We will keep everything the way it is except the followings: We are planning to change the fencing around the playgrounds. · We are planning to build block wall around the property. North side already is fenced by block wall. East and South side will be done ASAP. West side will be done as soon as the adjacent property owner is located and the block wall construction coordinated with them, or within a year whiChever happens first. · Landscaping is in very bad shape and requires a lot of planting and reviving. Any dead landscaping items will be replaced with the similar new ones. · Based on previous conclusion of the City, the number of parking space available for this property was more than what it was required, under previous CUP. Our operation is smaller than the previous CUP. So we should have no additional parking space requirement, other than what we already have. Ejevation - We are not planning to change the elevation in any substantial way except: · Per Mr. Henderson request we are planning to restore the front of the building the way it was originally, remove the rock patio, and restore the mission style parapet. · Per Mr. Henderson request, we are planning to paint or re stucco the outside of the building with similar color. · The doors ane windows are to be replaced with similar color doom and windows. · The roof, which is hardly visible from street, is in bad shape. The roof shingles are to be replaced and any damaged structure repaired. 3. Floor Layout - Our new layout will be very close to the existing layout. We are only removing all bathrooms and replacing them with'new ones. There will be no shower or tub. We are updating the fixtures. · We are installing some new interior doors and adding a number of new interior windows. · The floor covering will be replaced · There are two staircases that are blocked off behind a wall on the north side of the building which are going to be opened and restored to its original shape. 4. Electrical and Mechanical · We are updating the plumbing and electrical systems in this building. · We are planning to install new HVAC to air condition all rooms in this building. Currently this building is partially air-conditioned. · We are planning to install a state of art telecommunication network in this building. S. Safety · The building is already in compliance with ADA requirements. · The building is fully equipped with fire sprinkler system. · All doom are to be at least 36" wide or wider. · All extedor doors except the main entrances, are always locked from outside and remain always open from inside, and equipped with alarm system. · All areas of the building will be equipped with video camera. · The building will be wired for security system connected to central monitoring station, detecting intrusion as well as smoke. If city has any other interior or exterior photo of this building, we would like to have a copy of them. Drawing for the current and new layout, site plan and elevation is attached. Thank you. Hal Hazegh - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAM( ;A ~ STAFF REPORT DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: November 3,t 1988 Chairman and Members of the Hi stori c Preservati on Comm i s s i on Larry Henderson, 'Senior Planner Arlene Banks, Associate Planner A PROPOSAL TO DESIGNATE THE SITE OF THE ALTA LOffiA SCHOOL AS A POINT OF HISlOgIC INTEREST APN: 201-474-D2 ACTION REQUESTED: This ts a proposal to designate the site of the Atta Loma School as a point of historic interest. BACKGROUND: A. Current: This item has come to our' attention because of a num"O'iS~'of recent inquiries regarding the site which is now in escrow. For the past several years it has been used as a home for senior citizens. The City's Con~unity Services Department has expressed interest in the building as a site for a con~unity services center. The Conm~ission, in February of 1987, discussed making the site a point of historic interest. B. Status: The building was not on the list of surveyed pr"~'~'~Fties, presumably because in an informal discussion at the Historic Preservation Commission meeting of February 5, 1987, the Conatssion acknowledged that the building had been altered too much to make it a candidate for designation as a landmark. The survey of historic properties was being conducted at the time that the discussion took place. III. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: A. Location: ?he Alta Loma School is located on the northwest corner of ~aethyst Avenue and lgth Street in the Alta Loma c~muntty. Be Site Land Use, Zoning, and General Plan Designation: The site has recentiy been used as a home for senior citizens called Al~a Loma Hanor, but is now empty. Zoning and General Plan designation is Nedium Density Residential, (8-14. dwelling units per.acre). HZ~IUKZb ~K~KYR ALTA LONA SCHOOL November 3, Z988 Page 2 Iu L:v,.ll~,dJIUPI ~l/M-r KI'rUKI C. Surrounding Land Uses, Zoning, and General Plan Designations: North: - ~is site is being used for a Senior citizen housing complex; Zoning and General Plan Designation is High Density Residential, (24-30 dwelling units per acre), which is overlaid with a SHOD, Senior Housing Overlay District. SHOD's allow reduced parking, density bonuses, and fee reductions in exchange for long- term, high quality, affordable housing for senior citizens. South: - Land use is single family residential across highly traveled 19th Street; Zoning and General Plan Designation is Low Density Residential, (2-4 dwelling units per acre). East: Land use across Amethyst is office on the corner and the post office to the north; zoning is Office/Professional and General Plan Designation is Office. West: Land use is Single Family Residential; Zoning and General Plan Designation is Medium Density Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre). Description: The Alta Loma School building is on a 1.79 acre lot, with ZOO feet of frontage along 19th Street and 396 feet along Amethyst. An adjacent 75 foot-wide lot is under the same ownership. The building is a large rectangular structure with its main floor a half stow above the ground. Its front stairway has been enclosed and covered with decorative rock to make a patio outside the main entry which is characterized by the original porch. It appears that the windows were altered many years ago, some eliminated, some made larger. The siding was stuccoed and vertical strips of decorative wood have been added to the corners and on the walls midway between the corners. A small patch of lawn and trees lies in front (south side) of the building. To the east, west, and south is an asphalt parking lot; to the north and to the west of the parking area are the remains of play courts. A free standing carport-like structure stands next to the southeast portion of the building. ANALYSIS: AS Recent Discussions: When members of the Historic Preservation Commission discussed this butlding in Februany, 1987, they expressed the opinion that the building has been changed too ALTA LOMA SCHOOL November 3, 1988 Page 3 Ce much for landmark designation but they thought the site was nonetheless an ~important one. They were concerned about the design of proposed new changes and thought that it would be a good thing if the building could continue as housing for senior citizens. They wanted to participate in design decisions for the building. Historic Background: According to The History of Alta Loma, a school district was formed in September of 1884 and in 1886 bonds were approved (after an unsuccessful attempt in 1885) to build the Hermosa School at the northwest corner of .lgth Street (called Olive) and Amethyst. The school house had a library separating its two rooms, and each student was all oted a small piece of ground for gardening, part of the curriculum at that time. In 1915 a small classroom building was added to the site, and in 1917 the school was wired for electricity. In 1919 bonds were again passed to build a new schopl to acconmnodate the growing population; the old buildings were moved back on the lot and used while the new one was under construction. The fate of the old main building is unknown, but the smaller building was moved to Monte Vista Street. and served as the home of the school's janitor, Paul Helmer, who was especially known for the model ships he built. The new building was completed and occupied in 1921. The Alta Loma School contained four classrooms, and an auditorium on the main floor and a basement which had classrooms and a room that later housed a cafeteria. The Boy Scouts, an important and active group, used the basement for their meetings; the building was used for many conmunity activities and gatherings such as PTA dinners, May Day festivities, and Christmas programs. Significance: The building is no longer architec{urally significant because it has been changed a great deal. Its main entry porch had been marked not only by the still existing flattened arched openings, but also a prominent, curved, Mission style roof parapet. The simple rectangular building was made of concrete, and had bands of windows in the front. The most obvious changes have been the flattening and squaring of the Mission parapet, the addition of decorative rock siding to the building, and the rock-covered wall that encloses the original front stairway that had created a grand entrance for the building. Also, generous greenspace made way for asphalt parking areas. HZSTORIC PRESERVA' ALTA LOffiA SCHOOL November 3, 1988 Page 4 " .,.,...jION STAFF REPORT The building i~'historically significant because it housed the A1 ta Loma School which was of major importance to the early Alta Loma comunity, and the site is significant because of this building and because of the Hermosa School that was built there more than 100 years ago. The Alta Loma School was important to virtually everyone who had children or who participated in annual events. It was paid for and used by the families of ranchers and merchants who created Hermosa, Xamosa, and finally Alta Loma. The school was at the heart of community life for many years. Issues: Since the corner is zoned for Medium Density ~ntial use there is a good possibility that the building will be demolished and replaced with apartments or condominiums. The Commission may want to conmnent on what they would like to see on that corner, whether it be the existing building, a new building that would fill the corner in a similar way, and/or a commemorative plaque placed on a monument, garden area, shaded bench, recreation building, or children's play area, for example, that would be accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. If the Commission would like to conmnent on plans before they go to the Planning Co~mnission, they should direct staff to conm~unicate their concerns to the Planning Conmntssion. The Commission may also wish to conmnent on whether, from a historic preservation perspective, the building should be used as a Community Center. The Conmnission may also want to make suggestions regarding rehabilitation. E. Environmental Assessment: Point of interest designation is exempt from CEQA under Article 19, Section 15308. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Alta Loma School meets the following criteria listed in Section 2.24.090: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: 1. The proposed point of historic interest is particularly representative of an historical period. 2. The site is the location of an important historical building. B. Net hborhood and Geographic Setting: The proposed potnt of hisloric interest in its location represents an established and HISTORIC PRESERVATi,.

CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertized in The Daily Report and a notice and staff report sent to the owner. Staff has also discussed the item with a propsective buyer and with a realtor from Century 21. RECOflIENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend to the City council designation of the site of The Alta Loma School as a point of historic interest because it meets several criteria in the ordinance and is the site of an important public building.

Finally, in 1919, bonds were passed m build a new school building. The old building was moved back and placed on stilts so it could be used while the new school was being built; the school that .was finally finished and occupied in 1921 was the concrete building on the northwest comer of 19th Street and Amethyst now used as a rest home. It contained four classrooms and an auditorium upstairs, and a large basement which was used partly for classrooms and later a section of it was made into a cafeteria. The basement was also used by the Boy Scouts; there was a large troop in the late twenties and early thirties, with Arthur Bridge, who was president of the School Board, as Scoutmaster and Ralph Mitchell assistant Scoutmaster. The ~couts enjoyed having the school basement for their meeting place; they also enjoyed swimming parties at the Hamilton reservoir and trips to Big Bear where they stayed in Jack McCarter's, the Ileckley's, or Doe Pyle's cabin. The scouts made good use of the school basement, making some of the .~mall rooms into patrol rooms and using the large area in the center for games and scout work. The new school became quite a gathering place for the whole community on many occasions: there were P.T.A. dinners and programs; the May Day festivities and picnics were always fun when the children wound streamers and danced around the May Pole, with .~; "'. . games and races afterward; !.2 ' and the Christmas program at the school each year was a special occasion. That school was important to Alta Loma. About the time the new school was being built, a small lunchroom was opened on the northeast comer of 19th and Amethyst, across from the school, and run by Joe Cannon. On this same ~.' comer was a service station and garage owned and operated by Eugene Roberts and George Wilmuth; '~"' gasoline at that time was still 25e a gallon, but when I. S. Hill took over that service The "no~n" Alia toma School, 1021, no~n the Alia toraa Manor. station in the 30's, it was down to 16' a gallon due to the depression. When the new school was finished, the old buildings were moved away; no one knows what happened to the main building, but the small one-room building that had been used as an annex was moved down to Monte Vista Street and is still there. This part of the old school was the home of Paul Helmer and his wife and family for years. Paul Helmer was janitor of the school before this time and remained so until the late 40's, often helped by his wife Sophia. Sophia Helmer also worked for several families in Alta Loma. Paul had a hobby of building model ships; his models were admired and he and Sophia were respected in the community for their hard work and their friendliness. -107- Alta Loma Boy Scout Troop in the late 20's.

Ethel B!asingame started teaching school in Alta Loma in 1926; she was a young widow with a son, and she had come from the San Fernando Valley to look for a job. She remembers that Judge Belden and "Doc" Pyle were two members of the School Board that gave her the job; she taught first and second grades, and the other membem of the faculty at that time were Marion Belden, Principal, Marjorie Mclntosh, and Lillian Widmer. Ethel was pleased with. Alia Loma and soon persuaded her parents, the Terrys, to come to live with her and her son Jack; they lived on Monte Vista Street at that time. (See Appendix G.) Ethel Blasingame taught at the Alia Loma School for thirty years, then she taught at Cueamonga Central for ten years, and after retiring she substituted for another ten years, so she taught school for fifty years. She still lives in Alta Loma, in her home on Lomita Drive; she re- members many of her former pupils and is always pleased to see any of them again. ,,: :!.'.: .~ ....:' .'j.: ~ .'.. ~....... ,..;... ~.. ~ ., .

She felt the property could be designated a Point of Historic Interest and considered at a later time for Landmark designation. Mr. Henderson suggested adding wording to the Resolution that the Commission would consider making the site a Landmark if the exterior was restored to its original appearance. Commissioner Billings felt it was important that the site be designated by a plaque stating it was the original site of Hermosa School, which later became Alta Loma School. He felt a plaque should be installed even if the building was saved. Commissioner Banks requested that the Planning Department be notified of the Commission's desire to have the site commemorated if the building was razed.

Related files: General Plan Amendment 00-01A, Development Code Amendment 00-01, Development District Amendment 00-01, and Development Review 00-60. BACKGROUND: On July 5, 2000, the City Council appreved Development Agreement 00-01 authorizing the development of a senior housing project on Amethyst Avenue in Historic Alta Loma. Since the agreement approval, the project proponent, Northtown Housing Development Corporation, has submitted a Design Review application for the proposed senior housing project. The agreement contained provisions (reduced parking, open space, increased unit density, etc.) that will result in a complex affordable for low and moderate-income seniors. At the time of approval, the design for the project was not ready for the City's design review process. In order to be able to develop the site as initially conceived, the applicant is requesting a deviation in the front setback requirement by amending the Development Agreement. Northtown Housing is requesting that the front structural setback be reduced from the existing requirement of 45 feet (off collector street) to 21 feet The setback is measured from the face of the public curb. ANALYSIS: With the requested setback, the senior housing structure will be about 11 feet behind the sidewalk. Some of the school buildings to the north are similarly set back from the street and the existing commercial buildings neighboring the site (to the south) are located along the property lines with only the sidewalk as a setback. Therefore, staff does not believe that the reduction in the setback will negatively affect immediate area. ENVIRONMENTAL: This proposal to authorize the variance of the front yard setback on land with an average slope of less than 20 percent, will not result in any changes in land use or density, nor in the creation of any new parcel. It is therefore determined that this proposal PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DA 00-01 AMEND. NO. 1 - NORTHTOWN HOUSING DEV. CORP.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 00 - 02A - LEWIS RETAIL CENTERS December 20, 2000 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: If the City Council concurs with the applicant's request, it would be appropriate to continue the items but not to a date specific. Staff will re-advertise when a date has been determined. DISCUSSION: This item was continued from the November 1,2000, City Council meeting at the request of the applicant, Lewis Retail Centers. Lewis Retail Centers is in negotiations with Cal Trans to acquire the .24 acre adjacent to their site, as described in GPA 00-02C, in order to expand and consolidate the developable area at the northeast corner of Highland Avenue and the future Route 30 Freeway. Those negotiations have not been able to reach a conclusion and the applicant would like to continue the item again in order to resolve title issues. Because of limits placed on General Plan Amendments by State law, staff recommends that these amendments be continued to the first GPA cycle of next year. Because of the other potential GPA processing adjustments, a date for the first cycle of City Council headngs cannot now be determined. Therefore these applications may be continued, but not to a date specific. When the first cycle 2001 applications are ready for City Council review, staff will then re-advertise these continued applications for that same date.

RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Statement of Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the proposed Victoria Arbors project. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In January of 1998, the applicant submitted multiple land use amendments to the City. Because there were substantial changes to the land use, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required. The EIR was completed and processed according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In July of 1999, with the Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council certified the EIR to be complete and adequate; however, the related proposed land use amendments were not appreved because they were still being reviewed by the Planning Commission, and the General Plan Task Force was still evaluating the land use alternatives for the project area. In September of 1999, the applicant requested that his land use applications be placed on hold indefinitely. Since then, the applicant attended the Generel Plan Task Fome meetings and understands the direction the City is heading towards with respect to the land use in the project area. Now that the Generel Plan Update is well on its way and a preferred land use plan has been established for the area, the applicant has requested a reconsideration of his land use applications. The review and approval of the proposed land use amendments necessitates the review and approval of the Statement of Facts and Findings and the Statement of Overriding Consideretions. On CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 - VICTORIA ARBORS VILLAGE December 20, 2000 Page 2 November 8, 2000, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review the Facts and Findings and the Overriding Considerations. At the hearing, the Commission received input from a resident, Mr. John Lyons, who commented that he is against changing commercially zoned land to residential. The Commission, after taking in public input, found that the proposed land use changes are in keeping with the intent of the Citywide General Update. The Commission then unanimously recommended approval of adopting the attached Statement of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations. FACTS FOR FINDING The Planning Commission recommends the Council make the findings and conclusions as contained in the attached Resolution for Statements of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations. CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted with three, 4-foot by 8-foot public hearing signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet around the project site. In addition, key community representatives and residents of the Victoria Planned Community and the Etiwanda Community were mailed notices of this pubic hearing.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this hearing is to determine that the Certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) covers the proposed project; and to forward a recommendation to approve the Statement of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations to the City Council for the approval of the proposed project. BACKGROUND: In January of 1998, the applicant submitted multiple land use amendments to the City. Because there were substantial changes to the land use, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required. The EIR was completed and processed according to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In July of 1999, with the Planning Commission recommendations, the City Council certified the EIR to be complete and adequate. The related proposed land use amendments were not approved because the Planning Commission was still reviewing them. At the time, the City was also taking on a Citywide General Plan Update. In September of 1999, the applicant requested putting his land use applications on hold indefinitely sensing that the Planning Commission and the City Council would not be supportive of the proposed changes. The General Plan Update is well on its way and a preferred land use plan has been established for the area of the applicant's proposal. The applicant attended the General Plan Subcommittee meetings and understands the direction the City is heading towards with respect to land use in the project area. As a result, the applicant requested reconsideration of their application. The review and approval of the land use amendments necessitates the review and approval of the Statement of Facts and Findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations. 135' PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 AMERICAN BEAUTY DEVELOPMENT CO. November 8, 2000 Page 2 ANALYSIS: Is Proposed Project Covered bv the Certified EIR: As mentioned before, the EIR was certified by the City Council on July 7, 2000. To ensure that the Certified EIR will provide environmental clearances, staff compared the proposed project with the one described in the EIR along with the five alternatives that were considered, Staff determined that the proposed project is similar and rated better when compared to the one considered by the EIR. The proposed project has addressed some of the Land Use impacts, the Park and Recreation impacts, and Aesthetic and Visual impacts identified in the EIR. The other significant environmental impacts still apply and are listed and discussed in the attached May 26, 1999, Planning Commission staff report (Exhibit "C")o The significant impacts are: Traffic and Circulation, Noise, Air Quality, Biological Resources, School, Police and Fire Resources, and Geologic. Summarv of Siqnificant Impacts and Mitiaation: The Certified EIR contained a section that described and summarized the significant impacts resulting with the proposed project and the mitigation measures required to reduce the level of significance for each impact to an acceptable level (Exhibit "D"). Unavoidable Impacts: According to the EIR, all impacts except for long-term air quality impacts, will be reduced to insignificant levels with mitigation measures. The EIR found that emissions for carbon monoxide, reactlye organic compounds, and nitrogen oxide will exceed SCAQMD thresholds for daily operations by a large margin. Even with implementation of mitigation, air quality impacts cannot be reduced to insignificant levels. The City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, State law provides that the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. A Statement of Facts and Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (Exhibit "F") have been prepared for Planning Commission review. MitiGation Monitorincl Proqram [MMP): In compliance with CEQA, the City prepared a monitoring program (Exhibit "E"). The MMP is a reporting program, which identifies each adopted mitigation or required change in the project design that reduces the significance level of a particular impact. The MMP indicates responsibility and timing milestones for each mitigation measure. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the properly was posted with three, 4- by 8-foot public hearing signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet around the project site. In addition, key community representatives and residents of the Victoria Planned Community and the Etiwanda Community have been mailed notices of this pubic hearing.

VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT 00-04 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to change the name of Victoda Lakes village to Victoda Arbors village within the Victoria Planned Community. Related file: General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01, and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01. Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report and indicated that a revised land use exhibit had been placed in front of the Commissioners. She also suggested deletion of the specified street width of 133 to 180 feet in the proposed Victoria Community Plan Amendment. Commissioner Tolstoy noted that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) shows traffic to be mitigated to below the level of significance but improvements are not shown as being constructed until 2015. He asked if thera will be traffic problems until 2015. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that public infrastructure will be installed in phases when needed as phases are built. Commissioner Tolstoy asked how the improvements will be handled at existing intersections. Mr. James responded that those streets had been designed to standards with a regional mall planned. Commissioner Macias observed that under Mitigation Impact 4.2.1 regarding traffic impacts, it states that some intersections are forecast to exceed the minimum LOS standards under 2015 background plus project conditions. He questioned if the project should only mitigate those impacts that it directly produces, thus leaving the City or SANBAG to be responsible for cumulative impacts given background. Mr. James stated that the City collects a transportation fee that would take care of such construction. Commissioner Macias observed that the answer to Commissioner Tolstoy's question is that the developer is responsible for those impacts that the project creates and anything that goes beyond that is cumulative, which is spaced over time and paid for collectively by fees. Commissioner Tolstoy questioned if the fees will be sufficient to allow the backbone improvements to be constructed. He felt the City currently has a lot of intersections that are heavily impacted even though they have no connection with the freeway construction. Ms. Fong stated that when the EIR was prepared, the consultant had to consider cumulative impacts so they included many projects within the area of the project. She said the developer will pay their fair share in contributing to the impacts. Mr. Buller stated that Commissioner Macias' comments were accurate in stating what the developer is responsible for. He said the City is also aggressive in securing additional funds to improve the streets so it does not just rely on the transportation fees paid by developers. Commissioner Mannerino thought their were discussions regarding a development agreement, which would discuss fees among other things. Ms. Fong confirmed that a development agreement will be forthcoming which will discuss infrastructure improvements and the phasing of those improvements. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. John Mor~sette, American Beauty Development Company, 16830 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 401, Encino, stated he too had some questions regarding the mitigations. He suggested that they spend time with staff to figure out the fees they will pay before the matter goes to City Council. He stated there had been discussions over a year ago regarding the poor quality ofthe coastal sage scrub on site. He indicated it is mixed in with the grapevines and that previously no mitigation was required. Ms. Fong recalled that the last time there was a public hearing on the El R, staff and the Commission determined that the coastal sage scrub was such poor quality that mitigation was not warranted. John Lyons, 11984 Dorsett Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he lives west of the property. He said he was opposed to the plan because when the Victoda plan was approved, high density was permitted because there was going to be a way to pay for the City south of Base Line Avenue. He stated this land is located in the area that was supposed to pay for the City and he felt the land needs to be Commercial in order to pay. He thought the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and the I-15 Freeway needs to be all Commemial with no residential. He observed that there are no car or motor homes dealerships in Rancho Cucamonga. He opposed residential uses in the area. He felt the future of the City depends upon having Commercial in the area. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public heating. Commissioner Mannedno thanked staff and the applicant for a long pedod of negotiations to ardve at what appears to be a good plan. Commissioner Stewart concurred with Commissioner Man nedno. She appreciated the fact that the developer and landowner worked with the General Plan updates and saw the vision of the City. Commissioner Tolstoy agreed; however he expressed concems with having some of the area designated as Mixed Use because in past times that has led to patchwork development in such areas. Chairman McNiel felt the Commission needs to be sure projects are what the Commission determines to be appropriate mixed use. He agreed it had been a long and arduous process and the applicants had come a long way. He commented that sometimes some of the things that are envisioned for the City do not happen. He thought a good example was the rail service intentions in the heavy industrial area. He felt the likelihood of the area developing as all rail-served is very slim. He stated the General Plan is a living document and things change. He commented that even though this plan may not be the best and most appropriate use in the long term under the best possible scenario, it would be a compliment to the community. Motion: Moved by Macias, secondedbyTolstoy, torecommendadoptionoftheStatementofFacts and Findings and Overriding Considerations for General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01, and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01 and recommend approval of General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoda Community Plan Amendment, Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01, and Victoda Community Plan Amendment 00-04 with modification to eliminate the requirement to mitigate for the loss of sage scrub.

ABSTRACT: This is a public hearing for the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as part of the required 45-day public review period after a Notice of Completion and Availability for Public Review of the Draft EIR was advertised in the newspaper. For this hearing, the Planning Commission should review the report, receive public comments, conclude the public headng, discuss, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding EIR certification. BACKGROUND: The applicant, American Beauty Development Co., first contacted the City in July of 1997 and informed staff of their property ownership of Victoda Lakes. As a result of reviewing their preliminary development concepts, staff determined that the proposed changes in land use, circulation, open space, and park were significant and would require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and multiple land use amendment applications. In January of 1998, the applicant formally submitted their General Plan, Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment applications. After selecting LSA, Inc. as the City's consultant, preparation of the EIR commenced in April of 1998. The Draft EIR was completed last December and circulated for public review. Because additional land use impacts and feasible land use alternatives were identified, the land use and alternatives sections of the Draft EIR were revised and re-circulated on April 1, 1999 with the public review pedod ending on May 17, 1999. ANALYSIS: Pureose of an EIR: The purpose of the Environmental Impact Report is to inform the public about any significant impacts to the physical environment resulting from a project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify altematives, and promote public participation. Contents of the EIR become a planning tool forthe Planning Commission and the City Council to use in determining the appropriate and the best land use arrangement for the project area and for the entire City. According to the State Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), once the EIR is completed, the City is required to make the determination of certifying the EIR within one year. Staff would like to stress that the certification of an EIR would only mean that the EIR is adequate and in compliance with CEQA. The certification of an EIR does not mean or imply support or approval of the proposed project. The proposed project must be reviewed on its own medts. The Draft Final EIR consolidates the first and the re-circulated draft EIR's into one document, is listed as Exhibit "A" and is a separate document from the staff report. B. EIR Process for GPA 98-01. VCPA 98-01. and ESPA 98-01: The EIR has been processed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 4 Notice of Preparation (NOP): A NOP for the EIR was prepared by the City and distributed on Apd127, 1998. The NOP, describing the proposed applications and land use amendments and issues to be addressed, was distributed to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, and other interested parties for a 30-day review period. The objective for distributing the NOP is to identify and determine the full range and scope of environmental issues of concern so that these issues could be fully evaluated in the EIR. Comments received dudng the NOP process have been addressed in the applicable sections of the EIR. Public Scooina Meeting: The City held a noticed Public Scoping Meeting at the City on May 12, 1998. Responsible agencies, property owners within 1,000 feet around the project site, and key community representatives were invited to attend the meeting. Besides members of staff, consultants, and applicant, a total of 12 residents attended the meeting. Four of the residents were high school students, who attended the meeting for a school project. The remainder attendees were from the residential area west of the Day Creek Channel and east of Rochester Avenue. The intent of the Public Scoping Meeting was to receive public testimony on those issues that the public would like to have addressed in the EIR as related to the project and environment. The three primary issues raised by the attendees at the meeting were parkland, school, and traffic impacts. Draft EIR Circulation, Notice of Completion. and Notice of Availability: The Draft EIR was completed on December 18, 1998, and circulated according to CEQA requirements with the 45-day public review period ending on February 9, 1999. The Notice of Availability for public review was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on Decamber 18, 1998. A copy of the Draft El R was made available to the public at the City Planning Division and Library. Atotal of five agencies provided wdtten comments on the Draft EIR. They are: Southern California Association of Governments; Governors Office of Planning and Research; State Department of Conservation; California Department of Transportation (District 8); and South Coast Air Quality Distdct. No comments were received from the general public. Our consultant, LSA, prepared responses to each environmental-related comment received, which are included in the Draft Final EIR. Re-circulated Draft EIR, Revised Notice of Completion, and Revised Notice of Availability: Dudrig the 45-day public review pedod for the Draft EIR, based on discussions at the workshops with the Planning Commission and the applicant, there were additional land use issues and impacts identified that needed further analysis. As a result, the land use, the alternatives, and the biological resources sections of the Draft EIR were revised. According to CEQA, the proposed revisions necessitated the re- circulation of those revised sections of the Draft EIR. The following summarizes the changes: The Land Use section was revised to better discuss the project's land use compatibility with the adjacent Filippi Winery located on Base Line Road, the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist Temple located on Etiwanda Avenue, and the future planned regional commemial center south of Church Street. Additional mitigation was provided to reduce the project's impacts on land use compatibility. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 5 The Alternatives section was revised to better discuss the reasons those particular alternatives were evaluated in the Draft EIR. Also discussed was the reason an alternative location to the proposed project was not evaluated in the document. A new Alternative 5 was also added which included a Special Oveday District in the area of the historic winery property to provide better buffering between future residential and commercial uses west of Day Creek Boulevard and south of Church Street. The Biology section was revised to analyze the impacts associated with retaining the 0.97-acre wetland on site. The applicant has obtained a Nationwide 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which allows retention of 0.97 acres of wetland onsite. The Summary of Impact section was revised to correct typographical errors that were made with the Draft EIR. New land use and biological mitigation measures were also included. The revised Draft EIR was completed and re-circulated on April 1, 1999, according to CEQA requirements with the 45-day public review pedod ending on May 17, 1999. A Notice of Completion of the Revised Draft EIR was filed with the State Cleadnghouse and the Notice of Availability for public review was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on April 1, 1999. A total of five agencies provided written comments . on the re-circulated Draft EIR, including Southern California Association of Governments; Governor's Office. of Planning and Research; Califomia Department of Conservation; California Department of Transportation (District 8); and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. No comments were received from the general public. Again, our consultant has prepared responses to each environmental-related comment received, which are included in the Draft Final EIR. Mitiaation Monitoring ProGram (MMP): In compliance with CEQA, the City has prepared a monitodng program as shown in Exhibit "D." The MMP is a reporting program which identifies each adopted mitigation or required change in the project design that reduces the significance level of a particular impact. The MMP indicates responsibility and timing milestones for each mitigation measure. Statement of Facts and FindinGs: CEQA states that the City cannot approve any project for which an EIR was prepared which identifies one or more significant effects unless certain findings are made and statement of facts are considered. A Statement of Facts and Findings has been prepared for this project as shown in Exhibit "E." Statement of OverddinG Considerations If significant unavoidable environmental impacts - result with a project, the City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concems. A Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared for this project as shown in Exhibit "F." PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 6 Summary of Sianificant Impacts and Mitiaation: This section describes and summarizes potentially significant impacts resulting with the proposed project and those mitigation measures being recommended to reduce the level of significance for each impact as shown in Exhibit "C." 1. Land Use: Impacts: Thepreposedresidentialprojectisincompatiblewithsurroundingcommercial land uses including the Filippi Winery, the Nichiren Shoshu Temple, the future regional mall, and the adjacent 1-15 freeway. Miti.qation: The EIR finds that implementation of noise and aesthetic mitigation measures, however, can reduce any potential incompatibility to an insignificant level. Examples of mitigation measures are: 8-foot high sound walls and/or earthem berms, 20-foot wide parkway landscape buffera, additional 25~foot setbacks from the property boundaries for dwellings, etc., The detailed description of the mitigation is listed in Exhibit "C." The EIR finds that the mitigation measures can provide the buffedng between the incompatible land uses. Impacts: The project conflicts with the land use, open space, and design concept of the Victoria Lakes Village in the Victoria Community Plan, which shows 26 acres of lakes open space on site. Miti,qation: The EIR, however, findsthat implementation ofpublicservices and aesthetic mitigation measures can reduce any potential conflict to an insignificant level. The detailed description of the mitigation is as listed in Exhibit "C." Impact: The project creates a residential "island" within the Etiwanda Speci~c Plan and creates a "sandwich" effect of residential zones between commercial zones within the Victoda Community Plan. Miti.qation: Again, the El R finds that implementation of air quality, noise, public services, and aesthetic mitigation measures as listed in Exhibit "C" can reduce any potential impact to an insignificant level. Staff Comment: Although the EIR finds that there are mitigation measures that can reduce the negative impacts and provide the buffedng between incompatible land uses, staff believes that the approach is contrary to the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which states that land use shall be organized to avoid creating conflicts and nuisances. In analyzing the land use amendments, which will be reviewed and considered by the Commission at the June 9, 1999, meeting, staff believes that the current plan for the project site is far superior environmentally and fiscally than the proposed plan (project), where a Statement of OverTiding Considerations would not be needed. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 7 2. Traffic and Circulation: Impact: The project will have an increase in traffic. A Traffic Study was prepared, which concludes that the following key intersections and freeway interchanges are impacted, which need improvements: Haven Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Milliken Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Day Creek Boulevard/Foothill Boulevard Victoda Park Lane/Base Line Road Etiwanda Avenue/Highland Avenue Etiwanda AvenueNictoda Street Etiwanda Avenue/Base Line Road Etiwanda Avenue/Church Street-Miller Avenue Etiwanda Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Etiwanda Avenue/Arrow Route Etiwanda Avenue/San Bemardino Avenue East Avenue/Base Line Road Cherry Avenue/Base Line Road I-15 Southbound Ramps/Base Line Road I-15 Northbound Ramps/Base Line Road SR-30 Eastbound - LA County line to Alder Avenue SR-30 Westbound - LA County line to Alder Avenue I-10 Eastbound - LA County line to Citrus Avenue 1-10 Westbound - LA County line to Citrus Avenue 1-15 Northbound - Jurupa Avenue to Sierra Avenue 1-15 Southbound - Riverside County line to Sierra Avenue Mitiqation: The applicant will contribute a traffic fee in accordance with the City's Traffic Fee Program for backbone infrastructure and will contribute on a fair-share basis to traffic mitigation determined by the City Engineer for those roadways and segments that will be directly affected by the proposed project. In addition, pdor to approval of any tract map, a traffic study will be completed to determine whether the incremental increase in traffic resulting with the particular tract map will cause any of the affected intersections to result in unsatisfactory levels of service. If this occurs, the traffic study will determine required improvements, phasing of improvements, and funding sources. Based on the mitigation, the traffic impacts will be reduced to insignificant levels. 3. Air Quality: Impact: The short and long term air quality impacts as a result of the proposed project will exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management Distdct (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance. Mitiaation: The EIR finds that the impacts coming from the grading and construction activities can be mitigated to insignificant levels. However, the emissions from increased vehicular trips, even with mitigation measures, will continue to exceed SCAQMD. This PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 8 is considered an unavoidable adverse impact of the project. This issue will be further discussed in Section D of the report. 4. Noise: Impact: The Noise Study that was prepared for the Draft EIR finds that noise will be generated from grading and construction activities as well as from increased traffic generation. Mitiqation: The EIR finds that Implementation of mitigation measures listed in Exhibit "C "will reduce impact to a level of insignificance. 5. Schools: Impact: The project area is within the Etiwanda School Distdct and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. Schools within the two distdcts are at or above capacity. Future development will generate more students for the already impacted school districts. The total number of students generated by the project is based on the number of dwelling units for each land use category multiplied by the student generation rates from both school districts. The increased number of new students estimated for each of the two school districts are 597 students for K-Grade 5; 265 students for Grades 6-8; and 274 students for Grades 9-12. A total of 1,136 new students will be generated with the project. Miti.qation: Because the proposed project includes a new 10-acre school site, the EIR finds that it will help to accommodate students in K-Grade 5. To further reduce the impact to a less than significant level, the EIR requires that the applicant execute an agreement with the two distdcts to provide adequate mitigation and participate in the school districts' Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts for alternative methods to finance the mitigation of school impacts. 6. Parks and Recreation: Impact: The residential portion of the proposed project will increase the demand for parklands within the Victoda Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan areas. The project should provide 18.43 acres of parkland for its areas within the Victoda Community Plan and an additional 2.25 acres of parkland for its areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan; for a total of 20.68 acres of parkland. As proposed, the project will only provide a total of 13.8 acres of active recreational facilities, thus, resulting in a deficiency of 6.98 acres which is a potentially significant impact to park facilities. Miti.qation: To mitigate the impact to an insignificant level, the EIR finds that the applicant shall be responsible for the 20.68 acres of parkland by dedication or by fee. Further, a mitigation listed in the EIR requires the applicant to design and construct a park. Impact: The project will increase the demands for active recreational facilities including trails. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 9 Miti.qation: To mitigate the impacts, the EIR finds that future development proposals must provide additional acreage fortrails to meet City needs. In addition, the applicant shall follow and implement the design concepts set out for Victoria Parkway, the community trails within the Victoria Community Plan, and the 25ofoot parkway on the east side of future Day Creek Boulevard including the multi-use trail from Base Line Road south to terminate at the City's adult sports complex. Compliance with these recommended mitigation measures reduces park and recreational impacts to levels of insignificance. 7. Police and Fire Protection: Impact: Future development within the project area will place considerable demand on law enforcement and fire protection services. Mitiqation: The impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level by forming and/or joining the Law Enforcement and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts to pay for and provide services to the project area. 8. Aesthetics/Visuah Impact: The project will replace 19 acres of proposed lakes and open space, resulting in a loss of planned open space, and alteration of existing and future public views and view corridors. Mitiqation: The EIR finds that the applicant should account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a new focal point concept within the residential area. The focal point should include open space trail system linkages to the winery site and commemial areas to the south by an open space corridor incorporating such features as fountains, large gazebos, public art, public furniture, and/or increase open space/trails systems. The EIR finds that with these mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to insignificant levels. Impact: New light and glare will also be created with the project. Miti.qation: The City's Design Review process will be the mechanism to ensure excessive light and/or glare is not created by future development. 9. Biological Resources: Impact: The project will diminish habitat for wildlife or plants consuming 181.2 acres of alluvial fan coastal sage scrub. Miti.qation: Even though the project will substantially diminish habitat for wildlife and plants, the EIR finds that the potential impact is insignificant in this case because the quality of the alluvial fan coastal sage scrub is poor, and rare, threatened or endangered species were not observed on site. The EIR did not recommend mitigation for the loss of the habitat. However, the EIR finds that the cumulative impact is considered to be significant and recommends that the applicant participate in an off-site mitigation bank PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 10 10. to provide compensation for the loss of the habitat but with a less than 1:1 replacement ratio. Staff Comments: According to the Interim Review Guidelines contained in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), the City is the lead agency which retains the discretion to make the determination whether a project within the MSHCP area, because of the project's characteristics, has no impact on the viability of biologicel resources and would not preclude long term preservation planning. In this case, staff concurs with the findings of the EIR that the impact is insignificant because of the poor quality of the alluvial fan coastal sage habitat and that there were no rare, threatened or endangered species sighted. Presently, there are tremendous development pressures in the City and the project area is already surrounded by development. However, within the City's sphere of influence is the North Etiwanda area, which contains better to pristine quality alluvial fan coastal sage scrub habitats. Therefore, the long term preservation planning of the habitats is not precluded. Based on this analysis, staff determines that the cumulative impact is insignificant and does not warrant mitigation. Impact: The proposed project contains 4.1 acres of man-made wetlands. The applicant processed and received a 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to remove 3 acres with the agreement of preserving 0.97 acres on site and participating in off-site mitigation bank for the loss of 0.4 acres. Retention may have an impact on the City's ability to maintain the wetland and improve or divert flows in the drainage system to the north. Additionally, retention of the wetland may increase the presence of vectors. Miti.qation: IftheCitychoosestoeliminatetheonsitewetland,.anlndividual404Permit must first be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineera. Cultural Resources: There are no known historic human budals and/or cultural materials present on site. In the event a cultural resource is uncovered, ground disturbing activities will be redirected and a qualified archaeologist will be retained to evaluate the find. If human remains are encountered, the San Bemardino County Coroner must be notified. If human remains are considered prehistoric, the Native Amedcan Hedtage Commission will be notified. Geologic: Staff and consultant did not list geology as an impact because the project site is not within a Fault Zone or subject to liquefaction according to the City's General Plan, However, the California Division of Mines and Geology responded to the Draft EIR stating that the site is subject to significant ground motion and recommended that more stringent design standards for structures, especially schools, be applied. Staff has acknowledged this issue and will place a condition of approval for any proposed development within the project site requiring a geotechnical study on liquefaction and ground motion to be conducted by a registered engineedng geologist and submitted to the City for review. Staff has forwarded the comments from the Division of Mines and Geology to the City's Building and Safety Division and Etiwanda School District. Staff will be centacting the State geologist to obtain information and supporting documents for our upcoming General Plan Study. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 11 Unavoidable Impacts: According to the EIR, all impacts except for long-term air quality impacts, will be reduced to insignificant levels with mitigation measures. The EIR finds that emissions for carbon monoxide, reactlye organic compounds, and nitrogen oxide will exceed SCAQMD thresholds for daily operations by a large margin. Even with implementation of mitigation, air quality impacts cannot be reduced to insignificant levels. As discussed previously, the City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. A Statement of Facts and Findings (Exhibit "E") and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (Exhibit "F") has been prepared for Planning Commission review. Alternatives Considered: As required by CEQA, a total of five alternatives were evaluated, including No Project/No Development; Existing Victoda Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan; Low Medium Density Residential; School/Park; and Increased Regional Retail/Special Use Zone alternatives. 1. Alternative 1 - No Project/No Development Alternative Under this altemative, the project site will remain in its existing vacant condition. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project will be avoided, especially the proposed project's impacts on air quality. 2. Alternative 2 - Existing Victoda Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan This alternative assumes the project site will be developed according to plans of the Victoda Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan. Under the Victoda Lakes Village Plan of the Victoria Community Plan, the project site is designated for higher residential densities. The character of the lakes was to be formed by the unique relationship of the residential, commercial, and recreational land uses surrounding a system of three terraced lakes. Under this altemative, the areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan would be developed Office/Professional. This alternative would result in greater impacts to air quality; noise; traffic; and police, fire, and school services because a greater number of dwelling units and land use intensity would be provided. However, this alternative would have less incompatible land uses and would require less land use mitigation. This alternative would reduce aesthetic impacts by providing more open space acreage in the form of a tiered lake feature from Base Line Road to Church Street. 3. Alternative 3 - Low Medium Density Residential Altemative This alternative would develop the project site as Low-Medium Density Residential (4 to 8 units per acre) north of Church Street, south of Base Line Road, between Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. The Office/Professional designation would be eliminated and replaced with Low-Medium Density Residential. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 12 Wsth exception of impacts to public services, this alternative would result in impacts at the same levels or less than the proposed project. Unavoidable significant air quality impacts would continue to result with this alternative. Increased burden on police, fire, and school services would result. 4. Alternative 4 - School/Park Alternative This alternative would develop a school and park next to the winery, south of Base Line Road and west of Victoria Loop. An open space corridor would extend from the wetland area west of Victoda Loop south to Church Street. Proposed land uses west of Etiwanda and north of Church Street would remain Office/Professional; areas between Victoria Loop on the west, Etiwanda Avenue on the east, Base Line to the north and Church Street on the south would be designated Low-Medium. An Office/Professional buffer adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue would be provided. Wsth exception of impacts to public services, this alternative would result in impacts at the same levels or less than the proposed project. Unavoidable significant air quality impacts would continue to result with this alternative. Increased burden on police and fire services would result. This altemative would provide an aesthetic benefit by providing a view shed corddor south through the park/school site from Base Line Road. 5. Alternative 5 - Increased Reaional Retail/Special Use Zone This "new" alternative was discussed in the re-circulated Draft EIR. This alternative proposes to retain 51.8 acres of the area between Day Creek Boulevard and the SCE easement as Regional Related Office Commercial. Medium-High and High Density Residential uses would be integrated with commercial uses through a master planned development. Approximately 15 acres along the northern pedmeter of the site adjacent to the winery, would allow residential, commercial, and community uses within a Mixed Use Zone. Areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, currently designated Office Park would be converted to Low Medium Residential. The areas south of Church Street, between Day Creek Boulevard and Victoda Loop would allow low intensity, "soft-retail" (low noise, low traffic commercial) uses; 19.7 acres would be converted from Low Density Residential to Low Medium Residential. This alternative would create traffic, noise, and air quality impacts at levels greater than the proposed project. Development of the 51.8 acres would generate greater impacts related to police, park, and school services. Other impacts would be the same between this alternative and the proposed project. Plannina Commission Workshops: Dudng the public review period for the Draft EIR, the Planning Commission held a total offourworkshops to understand and familiadze themselves with the different components of the project. These workshops serve to provide direction and guidance to the applicant and staff regarding environmental and land use and design issues within the project. Key community representatives of the Victoda and Etiwanda communities were invited to the workshops. These workshops in no case serve as a public hearing for the project. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 13 Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concluded that the EIR has been prepared in compliance with CEQA. Again, staff would like to reiterate that determining the EIR is adequate does not mean or imply support or approval of the proposed project. However, before the proposed project can be approved, a Statement of Overriding Considerations would need to be adopted. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted with three 4 by 8 feet public hearing signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 1,000 feet around the project site. Also, key community representatives and residents of the Victoda Planned community and Etiwanda Community have been sent notices of this pubic headng, RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the report, conduct the hearing to receive public input and conclude the public headng, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that the EIR is adequate for certification and forward that recommendation to the City Council.

Peak grading and construction emissions would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresh- olds for the criteria pollutant of NOx, which is 2.5 tons per quarter and PMI0, which is 150 pounds per day. Emissions of other criteria pollutants would be below the standards. This is a potentially significant impact, but would be reduced to a less- than-sigaificant level with implementation of mitigation measures. Mitigation Measures 4.3.1A. The Construction Contractor shall select the construction equipment used onsite based on low emission factors and high energy efficiency. The Construction Contractor shall ensure that constmcrion grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 4.3.1B. The Construction Contractor shall utilize electric or diesel- powered equipment in lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible. 4.3.1C. The Construction Contractor shall ensure that constmction grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. During smog season (May through October), the overall length of the construction period should be extended, thereby decreasing the size of the area prepared each day, to minimize vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. 4.3.1D. The Construction Contractor shall time the construction activities so as to not interfere with peak hour traffic and minimize obstruction of through traffic lanes adjacent to the site; if necessary, a flagperson shall be retained to maintain safety adjacent to existing roadways. 4.3.1E.

Mitigation Measures Analysis of Significance During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or Mitigated to below a level of transportationofcutorfillmaterials, watertrucksorsprinkler significance. systems shall be used to prevent dust from leaving the site and to create a crust after each day's activities cease. b. During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to keep all areas of vehicle movement damp enough to prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this would include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after work is completed for the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15 miles per hour. c. After clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation is completed, the entire area of disturbed soil shall be treated immediately by pickup of the soil until the area is paved or otherwise developed so that dust generation will not occur. d. Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. e. Trucks transporting soil, sand, cut or fill materials and/or constraction debris to or from the site shall be tarped from the point of origin. 4.3.1H The Construction Contractor shall utilize as much as possible precoated/natural colored building materials, water-based or low-VOC coating, and coating transfer or spray equipment with high transfer efficiency, such as high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray method, or manual coatings application such as paint brush, hand roller, trowel, spatula, dauber, rag, or sponge.

Vehicular trips associated with the proposed project would produce emissions that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District dally thresholds for the criteria pollutant of CO, ROC, and NOx. This is a significant impact. Even after implementation of the mitigation measures identified, it is not guaranteed that the emissions would be reduced to below the thresholds. Therefore, it would remain a significant impact. Energy-efficient low-sodium parking lot lights shall be used. 4.3.3A. Use of transportation demand measures (TDM) such as preferential parking for vanpooling/carpooling, subsidy for transit pass or vanpooling/carpooling, flextime work schedule, bike racks, lockers, showers, and onsite cafeteria shall be incorporated in the design of the commercial land uses. 4.3.3B. The project proponent shall determine with the City and the electrical purveyor if it is feasible to pre-wire houses for electrical charges for EV cars and/or optic-fibers for home offices. If feasible, install EV charges and/or optic-fibers per the electrical purveyor's direction prior to Certificate of Occupancy. 4.3.3C. Install EV chargers or alternative fuel stations (natural gas) for community wide use at key commercial and public location(s) such as park and tide lots, Metrolink stations, and commercial centers. 4.3.3.D. The developer shall contract with a mitigation monitor to assure compliance and implementation with the mitigation monitoring program. 4.3.3.E. The develo~r shall install trails net the CiW's General Bikeways Plan. Operational emissions of the proposed project would result in total emissions of 2,034 lbs./day of CO, 153 lbs./day of ROC, 326 lbs./day of NOx, 36 lbs./day of SOx, and 47 lbs./day of PM10. Emission levels of CO, ROC, and NOx would ex- ceed the SCAQMD threshold for long- term operations. Even after implements- tion the mitigation measures identified, it is not gunsan teed that the emissions would be reduced to below the thresholds. Therefore, the project's impact on air qua].- ity during dally operations would remain significant and the City must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. 5/20/99(A:\TABLEI_A_fnl.wpd) 1-29 Issues/Impacts 4.4 Noise Impact 4.4.1: Noise levels from grading and other construction activities for the proposed project may range up to 85 dBA at the closest residences to the northeast of the project site north of Base Line Road or to the east of Etiwanda Avenue for very limited times when construction occurs near them. Construction-related noise impacts would be potentially significant; however, with implementation of mitigation measures identified, the impact would be reduced to less than significant. hnpact 4.4.2: Increases in noise levels could result from project- related traffic on access roads leading to the project site. Project- related long-term vehicular trip increases would be 45,487 daily. The incremental traffic noise level increases would be less than 2 dBA, except along Church Street between Rochester Avenue and future Day Creek Boulevard, where the increase would be 4.7 dBA but no sensitive uses exist currently. No significant traffic noise impacts on off-alte sensitive uses are anticipated. However, proposed on-site residential uses would potentially be exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the 60 dBA Ldn standard recommended for residential uses. Implementation of mitigation measures would be required to reduce such an impact to less than significant. Mitigation Measures 4.4.1A. During all project site excavation and grading on-site, the project contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers standards. 4.4.1B. The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors to the east of the site. 4.4.1C. The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction- related noise sources and noise sensitive receptors to the east of the site during all project construction. 4.4.1D. During all project site construction, the construction contractor shall limit all construction-related activities that would result in high noise levels to between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, unless such construction activities do not result in noise levels exceeding 45 dBA at residences to the east of the site. No construction shall be allowed on Sundays and public holidays. 4.4.2. Noise studies shall be required to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to final map approval for residential units proposed within the following areas: Within 249 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between future Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane; Within 378 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between Victoria Park Lane and Etiwanda Avenue; Within 66 feet of the centerline of Church Street between Rochester Avenue and future Day Creek Boulevard; Within 194 feet of the centerline of Church Street between future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue; Within 211 feet of the centerline of future Day Creek Boulevard between Base Line Road and Church Street; and Within 269 feet of the centerline of future Day Creek Boulevard between Church Street and Foothill Boulevard.

As a result of the overcrowding in the classrooms of the Etiwanda and Chaffey School Districts, both districts have urged and continue to urge the City not to approve development applications unless adequate school facilities are available to serve the development project. Future development will generate more students for the already impacted school districts and is considered significant. School mitigation plans would be enacted between the Eliwands School District/Chaffey Joint Union High School District and the project developer providing for a per dwelling unit fee rate for the residential portion of the project site. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce impacts on schools to a less-than~significant level. Parks and Recreation Impact 4.5.2(1). The residential portion of the proposed project would increase the demand for active recreation facilities within the Victoria Community and Eliwands Specific Plan areas. For the Victoria Community Plan area, the proposed project must provide 18.43 acres of parkland, and for the Etiwanda Specific Plan, an adff~tional 2.25 acres for a total of 20.68 acres of parkland Mitigation Measures Mitigation such as setback, concrete block wail, or earthen berm or their combination along the property line, proper building orientation, building facade upgrade, double-paned windows, and/or mechanical ventilation shall be provided. Analysis of Significance 4.5.1A. The developer shall be required to execute an agreement with Eliwands School District and Chaffey Unified High School District to provide adequate mitigation. Such an agreement shall be executed prior to Planning Commission approval for any residential project within the General Plan Amendment area. Actual implementation of the agreement by the payment of fees, dedication of sites or other mitigation will take place as building permits are obtained. 4.5.1B. In the event that the developer declines to execute a mitigation agreement, the City shall require full mitigation as a condition of approval. Full mitigation shall be accomplished by means of a requirement to form a Mello-Roos Community Facilities district for school facilities. In order to reduce the burden on the future homeowners, it is possible to structure the community facilities district such that some of the special taxes would be prepaid by the developer.

Currently, the proposed project has only provided for a total of 8.62 acres of active recreational facilities causing a deficiency of 20.68 acres of active recreation which is a significant impact to park facilities. To mitigate this shortage of active recreation, future development proposals must provide additional acreage to meet the recreational needs of this community. Implementation of the mitigation will mduee impacts on parks to a less-than-significant level. Impact 4.5.2(2). The residential and commercial areas proposed would increase the demand for active recreational facilities causing a significant impact to trail use in the City. To mitigate the potential impacts to trails and to also implement the City's Master Plan of Trails, future development proposals must provide additional acreage for trails to meet the need within the City. Implementation of the mitigation to provide trails per the City's Master Plan of Trails will reduce impacts on trail systems and recreation to less -than-significant levels. Mitigation Measures 4.5.2(1)B. At the time of filing a tentative tract map or a minor subdivision plat for approval, the City Park and Recreation Commission shall determine whether dedication of proport}, for 20.68 acres of park and recreational purposes or in lieu of fees are necessary.

The most significant glare would be generated by commercial uses at the southern end of the project site, especially in association with outdoor parking that may be lit at night and that would be visible from roadways such as the future Day Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard, as well as minor roads to the east of the project site such as Victoria Loop, Church Street, and Day Creek Boulevard East. This is a potentially significant impact, but would be reduced to a less than significant level with implementation of mitigation measums~ Impact 4.6.3. The project could conflict with policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and recommen- dations found in the Victoria Community Plan. This is a potan- tially significant impact, but would be reduced to a less-than- significant level with implementation of mitigation measures. Mitigation Measures 4.6.1 C. Landscape requirements shall be established for the far southem end of the project site to screen new development from the view ofmotorists along I-151ooking north. However, tfus landscap- ing should also allow views north towards the mountains, using the view corridor provided by the future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. The City Planning Department shall address such landscaping as a condition of approval for any development in the area of I-15. The landscape design shall be to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and City Planner. 4.6.2A. The Design Review process for commercial establishments and public places shall ensure that no significant light or glare impacts shall result from the proposed project. Specific issues to be evaluated at the time of design review shall include the following: proposed exterior lighting and landscaping of parking areas to reduce visible lighting from outside these areas; use of shielding on exterior lights to focus light onto the ground; and, proposed architectural materials to ensure that reflective materials are minimized. 4.6.2.B. The developer shall account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a new focal point concept within residential area to be submitted for Design Review. The focal point concept could include an open space trail system linkage to the winet3, site and commercial areas to the south by an open space corridor, and incorporate such features as a fountains, large gazebo, public art, public fumitum, and/or increased open space/trails systems. 4.6.3A. Provisions shall be made to account for protection of viewsheds and plant palette plans shown in the Victoria Community Plan for major intersections along future Day Creek Boulevard, Victoria Park Lane, and Church Street. Such provisions may include the following: building setbacks within the project site; varied allowable heights with lower heights nearest the interchanges; clustering of buildings; and, landscaping to complement the viewshed. These issues shall be addressed by the City Planning Department as recommendations for the Design Review process at the time of developing conditions of approval for any projects within the proposed project corridor.

The loss of potential, but unoccupied, habitat for such species is not considered to be a significant impact and no mitigation is required. Mitigation Measures 4.6.3B. To reduce potential conflicts with policies of the City's Community Design Element, recommended mitigation measures found under 4.6.1 shall also be implemented. 4.6.3C. The Community Design Criteria Part II of the Victoria Community Plan shall be amended immediately following project approval to address new uses proposed as part of the project. However, as part of this amendment, some requirements shall be included to reduce visual impacts of new development by inclusion of ]andscaping near major roads that matches those proposed by the Plan. For example, trees shall be planted along the site' s property lines and along roadways to screen new development fxom view. Within the site and adjacent to major east-west corridors, the City shall designate areas for landscaping, ensuring that land adjacent to the roads is planted with low-growing vegetation to maintain a degree of visual open space on the project site.

The retention may have a significant impact on the City's ability to improve or divert flows in the drainage system north of the proposed project area. 4.8 Cultural Resources Impact 4.8.1. The potential for historic human burials and/or cultural materials may be present in the project area. This is a potentially significant impact but would be reduced to a level below significance with implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.8.1.

This program has been prepared in compliance with the State law to ensure compliance with mitigation measures adopted for the project by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Assembly Bill 3180 (Public Resources Code, Paragraph 201081.6), effective January 1, 1989, requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those conditions of approval placed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The monitoring program contains the following elements: Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. In some in- stances, one action, such as plan review, may be used to verify i'mplementation of several conditions of approval. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. The program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based on recommenda- tions by those responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitor- ing compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program. G-1 Mitigation Measures LAND USE There are mitigation measures related to land use in other sections of this EIR. Refer to mitigation measures out- lined in sections 4.2 (Traffic), 4.3 (Air Quality), 4.4 (Noise), 4.5 (Public Services), and 4.6 (Aesthetics) for those measures that also benefit land use compatibility of the project. 4.1.6A Lots within the Victoria Arbors Village project with backyards that abut upon commercial or of- flee/professional uses shall be set back 60 feet from the common property line.

INTRODUCTION The City Council of the City of Rancho Cueamonga ("this Council") in approving the Victoria Arbors Village project, makes the findings described below and adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations presented at the end of the Findings. The "project" under CEQA for purposes of the City's discretionary action is the approval of the Victoria Arbors Village project. The prior project was identified as the Victoria Arbors Village. This Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse Number (SCH) 98041137 (the "1999 Final EIR") on July 7, 1999 but did not approve the project or adopt the findings and statement of overriding considerations. The Victoria Arbors Village is a modification to a project previously analyzed in the 1999 Final EIR. On 2000, the Council approved an addendum to the 1999 Final EIR. Because the City did not approve the Victoria Arbors Village project, no change in on-site zoning occurred. Zoning for the project site is that which existed prior to preparation of the Final EIR. Subsequent to the 1999 certification of the Final EIR, an application was made to the City for an amendment to the City's General Plan, Victoria Community Plan, and Etiwanda Specific Plan to reflect requested changes in land use designations from residential and regional retail uses to mixed uses. Although the proposed project includes the rezoning of property from residential and regional commercial uses to a "mixed use" designation, the City has established underlying land uses which will guide development within the limits of the project site. These Findings are based upon the entire record before this Council, including the Environmental Impact Report CEIR") prepared for the Project and the addendum CAddendum") which augments the 1999 Final EIR for the Project. The EIR were prepared by the City of Rancho Cucamonga as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). H PROJECT SUMMARY A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of approximately 291.71 acres. Of the total, the applicant, American Beauty Development Corporation, has proposed multiple land use amendments to approximately 232.8 acres within the Victoria Community Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In addition, amendments to the circulation and open space elements of the Victoria Community Plan would be required. The proposed land use amendments would result in the conversion of 64.3 acres of multifnmily to single family residential; 58.76 acres of regional related office commercial to single family residential, medium density residential and high density residential; 18.74 acres of open space and lakes to Mixed Use in the Victoria Community Plan area Approximately 26 acres of office/professional is proposed to be converted to Mixed Use in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. This 26 acres within the Etiwanda Specific Plan is proposed 10/30/00(C:\WINNTxTemporm7 Internet FilesNOLKI4\FINDINGS#2.WpD) to be annexed into te Victoria Community Plan area as a result of the approval of the Victoria Arbors Village project. B. PROJECT OBJECTIVES To provide a compact, inwardly-oriented community thematically tied to the historic winery and viiiculture. · To provide housing types and locations that is conducive to the family orientation of the village. To provide a mix of housing types oriented around a centrally located neighborhood school and park. To provide regional and village-scale trails and walkways with linear parks that will link the village to the adjoining community and commercial facilities to the south. To provide enhanced open space features and resting places to reinforce the village's connection the regional trail system and adjoining uses. · To restore a wetland area on site by designating the area a wetland park. Ill ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The City of Rancho Cucamonga has conducted environmental review for the approval of the Victoria Arbors Village project as follows: A Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Initial Study identifying the scope of environmental issues, were distributed to the State Clearinghouse, Responsible Agencies, and Community Representatives and organizations on April 27, 1998, and notice was provided through publication on April 27, 1998 in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Newspaper. A total of 17 comment letters were received. Copies of those comment letters are included in Appendix A of the DraR EIR (under separate cover). Relevant com- ments received in response to the NOP/Initial Study were incorporated into the Draft EIR. The Draft BIR was distributed for public review on December 18, 1998, for a 45-day review period with the comment period expiring on February 9, 1999. Five comment letters were received at the close of the public comment period. The specific and general responses to comments are in the Recireulated Draft EIR Appendix A. A Notice of Completion (NOC) was sent with the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse on December 17, 1999, and notice was provided on December 26, 1998 in the following newspaper of general and/or regional circulation: - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Newspaper 10/30/00(C:\WINNT~Temporary lnternet FileS\OLKI4\F1NDINGS#2.WPD) 2 Subsequent to the public circulation on the Drat~ EIR, changes to the analysis in the land use section and biological section of the EIR and the addition of an altemative necessitated the mcireulation of the Draft EIR. The Draf~ EIR was recimulated for public review on March 30, 1999, for a 45-day review period with the comment period expiring on May 17, 1999. Five comment letters were received at the close of the public comment period. The specific and general responses to comments are in the Final EIR Appendix G. A NOtice of Completion (NOC) was sent with the Recireulated Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse on March 29, 1999, and notice was provided on April 12, 1999 in the following newspaper of general and/or regional circulation: - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Newspaper - The Final EIR was distributed for a 10-day notification period beginning on May 12, 1999. The City ofRancho Cucamonga Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Project and staff recommendations on Febmary 24, 1999, March 10, 1999 and May 26, 1999. Following public testimony, and staff recommendations, the Commission recommended to the City Council that the EIR is adequate and should be certified but did not recommend that the Council adopt these Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations and approve the Project. On July 7, 1999, the City Council held a public heating to consider the staff recommendations. Following public testimony and staff recommendations, the Council certified the EIR but did not adopt the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations and did not approve the Project. The City, in order to approve the Victoria Arbors Village project to provide for development of the project, conducted further environmental review in an Addendnm to the 1999 Final EIR. On November 8, 2000, the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Victoria Arbors Village project and recommended the City of Rancho Cucamonga City Council approve adoption of the Addendure to the 1999 Final E1R and approve adoption of the ordinance approving the GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, and ESPA 98-01. On , the City of Rancho Cucamonga City Council held a public hearing on the Victoria Arbors Village project approving the adoption of the Addendnm to the 1999 Final EIR and approving the adoption of the ordinance approving the GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, and ESPA 98-01. A. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT FINDING The City ofRancho Cucamonga retained LSA Associates, Inc. to prepare Draf~ EIR, Recirculated Drat~ EIR, the 1999 Final EIR, and the Addendum to the 1999 Final EIR. All the four environmental documents were prepared under the direction and supervision of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Community Development Department, Planning Division. 10/30/00(C:\WINNTxTemporary Intemet Files\OLKI4~FINDINGS#2.WPD) 3 Finding: The environmental documentation reflects the City's independent judgment. The City has exercised its independent judgment in accordance with Public Resources Code, Section 21082.1(c)(3) in retaining its own environmental consultant, directing the consultant in preparation of the Dra~ EIR, Recirculated Draf~ EIR, the 1999 Final EIR, and the Addendum to the 1999 Final EIR as well as reviewing, analyzing, and revising material prepared by the consultant. B. FIIN'DIiNG ON THE 1999 EIR AND ADDENDUi~ Finding: The proposed changes to the Victoria Arbors Village as set forth in the Initial Study/Addendum are only minor technical changes or additions to the 1999 Final EIR to adequately make the 1999 Final EIR apply to the Project. Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, an Addendum to the 1999 Final EIR is the required environmental documentation for the City's consideration of the Project. C. GENERAL FI1NDING ON MITIGATION MEASURES The City has determined that in preparing the conditions of approval for the Victoria Arbors Village Project, the City incorporated the mitigation measures recommended in the 1999 Final EIR. In the event that the conditions of approval do not use the exact wording of the mitigation measures recommended in the 1999 Final EIR, in each such instance, the adopted conditions of approval are intended to be identical or substantially similar to the recommended mitigation measure. Any minor revisions were made for the purpose of improving clarity or to better define the intended purpose. Findings: Unless specifically stated to the contrary in these findings, it is the City' s intent to adopt all mitigation measures recommended by the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum. If a measure has, through error, been omitted from the Conditions of Approval or from these Findings, and that measure is not specifically reflected in these Findings, that measure shall be deemed to be adopted pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, unless specifically stated to the contrary in these Findings, all Conditions of Approval repeating or rewording mitigation measures recommended in the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum are intended to be substantially similar to the mitigation measures as worded in the 1999 Final EIR and are found to be equally effective in avoiding or lessening the identified environmental impact. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND FINDINGS City staff reports, the 1999 Final Eli{, and Addendnm, written and oral testhnony at all relevant public meetings or hearings, and these Facts, Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations and other information in the administrative record serve as the basis for the City's environmental determination. The detailed analysis of potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures for the Victoria 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary lntemet Files\OLKI4\FINDINGS#2.WPD) 4 2/7 Arbors Village Project are presented in Chapter 4 of the Draft ElK, Recirculated Draft EIR and within the Addendum. Responses to comments and any revisions or omissions to the Recirculated and Draft ElR are provided in Appendix Gofthe 1999 Final ElR. The ElR evaluated eight major environmental categories (land use, traffic and circulation, air quality, noise, aesthetics/visual, biological resources, public services, and cultural resources) for potential significant adverse impacts, including cumulative impacts. Both project-specific and cumulative impacts were evaluated. Of these eight environmental categories, the City concurs with the conclusions in the EIR that the issues and subissues discussed below can be mitigated below a significant impact threshold and for those issues which cannot be mitigated below a level of significance, overriding considerations exist which make impacts acceptable. In addition to the eight major environmental categories addressed in the EIR, seven other major categories were found to be nonsignificant in the Initial Study prepared for the Victoria Arbors Village project. The City concurs with the conclusions on these categories as outlined in the Initial Study (Appendix A of the Draft EIR) and finds that no significant impacts have been identified as to those categories identified in the Initial Study and no further analysis is required. In addition the City prepared an Addendum to the EIR to address potential impacts which may result from the development of the Victoria Arbors Village site as a mixed use development. IMPACTS IDEM'W'IED IN THE EIR AS LESS THAN SIGNIIqCANT REQUIRING NO MrllGATION The following issues were identified in the Initial Study (Appendix A of the Draft ElR) as having the potential to cause significant impact and were carded forward to the ElK for detailed evaluation. These issues were found in the EIR as having no potential to cause significant impact and therefore require no project-specific mitigation. In the following presentation, each resource issue is identified and the potential for significant adverse environmental effects is discussed. 1. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a. Habitat for Endangered Species Potentially Significant Impact: Potential loss of habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species. Finding: Potential impacts of the proposed project on the loss of potential habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species is discussed in Section 4.7 in the EIR. The loss of potential, but unoccupied, habitat for such species is not considered to be a significant impact and no mitigation is required. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: Focused surveys were conducted for the San Bemardino Merriam's kangaroo rat and the Califomia gnatcatcher. The results of the surveys determined that the San Bemardino Merriam' s kangaroo rat and the Califomia gnatcatcher are absent from the project site. Construction of the proposed project would result in the loss of potential, but unoccupied, habitat for these species. The habitat loss is not considered 10/30/00(C:\WINNT~Temporary lnternet FileS\OLKI4\FINDINGS#2.WPD) to be a significant impact and no mitigation is required. b. Wildlife Movement Potentially Significant Impact: The proposed project would interfere with local wildlife movement pattems. Finding: Potential impacts of the proposed project on local wildlife movement is discussed in Section 4.7 in the EIR. The analysis concluded that there would be no impact on wildlife movement and no mitigation is required. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The project site may have potential to be a habitat linkage joining undeveloped lands to the south and north. However, under existing conditions, it is reasonable to conclude that the project site is not a functioning habitat linkage or wildlife movement corridor. Several issues (restoration of off-site habitat, management and ownership of involved lands, and passageways for wildlife to cross existing roadways) would have to be resolved in order for the site to function as a habitat linkage. Under existing conditions, the proposed project would not substantially interfere with the movement of a resident or migratory wildlife species, therefore, project impacts to wildlife movement are not considered to be significant and no mitigation is required. POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT PACTS WHICH CAN BE MITIGATED BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE AND MI'HGATION MEASURES The following issues from the environmental categories analyzed by the 1999 Final EIR, Dratt EIR, and Recireulated Drat~ EIR; Land Use, Traffic and Circulation, Air Quality, and Biological/Open Space Resources, Aesthetics, Public Services, and Cultural Resources were found to be potentially significant, but can be mitigated to a less than significant level, with the imposition of mitigation measures.

The City Planning Department shah address such landscaping as a condition of approval for any development in the area of I- 15. 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary lntemet Files\OLK14XFINDINGS#2.WpD) 33 Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential visual impacts of the proposed project have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than- significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the 1999 Final EIR. b. Lightand Glare Potentially Significant Impact: New light and glare would be created by the addition of residences and commercial establishments in an area previously proposed as a utility corridor. The most significant glare would be generated by commercial uses at the southern end of the project site, especially in association with outdoor parking that may be lit at night and that would be visible from roadways such as the future Day Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard, as well as minor roads to the east of the project site such as Victoria Loop, Church Street, and Day Creek Boulevard East. Finding: The potential impacts of the Project on light and glare are discussed in Section 4.6 of the 1999 Final EIR. The 1999 Final EIR determined that the Project's impacts on light and glare have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures described within the 1999 Final EIR. The following mitigation measures from the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum are still applicable and will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. 4.6.2A The Design Review process for commercial establishments and public places shah ensure that no significant light or glare impacts shah result from the proposed project. Specific issues to be evaluated at the time of design review shah include the following: proposed exterior lighting and landscaping of parking areas to reduce visible lighting from outside these areas; use of shielding on exterior lights to focus light onto the Found,' and proposed architectural materials to ensure that reflective materials are minimized. 4.6.2B The developer shall account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a new focal point concept within residential area to be submitted for Design Review. The focal point concept could include an open space trail system linkage to the winery site and commercial areas to the south by an open space corridor, and incorporate such features as a fountains, large gazebo, public art, public furniture, and/or increased open space/trails systems. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential visual impacts of the proposed project by the introduction of additional light and glare into the project area have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the 1999 Final EIR. c. Conflicts with City's Design Policies Potentially Signi~cant lmpact: The project could conflict with policies of the City's General Plan 10/30/00(C:\WINNTxTemporary Internet FileS\OLK14~FINDINGS#2.WPD) 34 Community Design Element and recommendations found in the Victoria Community Plan. Finding: The potential conflict of the Project with the policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and landscape recommendations found in the Victoria Community Plan are discussed in Section 4.6 of the 1999 Final EIR. The 1999 Final EIR determined that the Project's conflicts with the policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and landscape recommendations found in the Victoria Community Plan have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures described within the 1999 Final EIR. The following mitigation measures from the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum are still applicable and will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. Provisions shah be made to account for protection of viewsheds and plant palette plans shown in the Victoria Community Plan for major intersections along future Day Creek Boulevard Victoria Park Lane, and Church Street. Such provisions may include the following.' building setbacks within the project site; varied allowable heights with lower heights nearest the interchanges; clustering of buildings; and, landscaping to complement the viewshed. These issues shah be addressed by the City Planning Department as recommendations for the Design Review process at the time of developing conditions of approval for any projects within the proposed project corridor. 4.6.3B To reduce potential con~icts with policies of the City 's Community Design Element, recommended mitigation measures found under 4. 6. 1 shall also be implemented. 4.6.3C The Community Design Criteria Part II of the Victoria Community Plan shah be amended immediately following project approval to address new uses proposed as part of the project. However, as part of this amendment, some requirements shall be included to reduce visual impacts of new development by inclusion of landscaping near major roads that matches those proposed by the Plan. For example, trees shall be planted along the site's property lines and along roadways to screen new development from view. VFithin the site and adjacent to major east-west corridors, the City shah designate areas for landscaping, ensuring that land adjacent to the roads is planted with low-growing vegetation to maintain a degree of visual open space on the project site. 4.6.3D The parkway on the east side of future Day Creek Boulevard shah be widened by 20 to 25feet to provide a multi-use trail from Base Line Road south to terminate at the City's adult sports complex. Specific design of the trail shall be determined by the City at the time development plans are submitted for review and approval for any development proposals adjacent to future Day Creek Boulevard The specific design shall tie in with the City's Day Creek Boulevard Master Plan design. The trail shall be designed to connect to planned and existing trail systems in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan connect the residential areas north and south of Base Line to the regional commercial areas adjacent to Interstate 15. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential conflict of the proposed project with the policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and landscape recommendations found in the Victoria Community Plan have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project 10B0/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary Internet Files\OLK 14\FINDINGS#2.WPD) 35 design described within the 1999 Final EIR. 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a. Loss of Plant Communities and Wildlife Habitat PotentiallySigni~cantlmpact: Theproposedprojectwouldsubstantiallydiminishhabitatforwildlifeor plants; this impact is considered to be significant. Finding: The Project's impacts on diminishing habitat for wildlife or plants are discussed in Section 4.7 of the 1999 Final EIR. The 1999 Final EIR determined that the Project's impacts on wildlife and plant habitat have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures described within the 1999 Final EIR. The following mitigation measures from the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum am still applicable and will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. 4. Z3A Minimize the amount of coastal sage scrub lost as the result of development (i.e., preserve the majority of the habitat on site) through project and construction redesign, and purchase off-site lands to compensate for those areas of coastal sage scrub impacted 4. 7. 3B Restore (to ensure no-net-loss of acreage and quality) coastal sage scrub in annual grassland and/or abandoned vineyards to compensate for the loss of these habitats from elsewhere on site. 4. Z 3C Participate in off-site mitigation bank (i.e., Team Arundo) to provide compensation for the loss of 0.4 acre of mixed willow series. 4. Z3D Purchase and preserve (in perpetuity) off-site lands to provide substitute resources for the coastal sage scrub that would be lost through project construction. Suitable lands wouM support coastal sage scrub and wouM be in a location that wouM facilitate management of this habitat type, such as adjoining the North Etiwanda Preserve. Given the disturbed condition of habitat on the project site, a less than 1:1 replacement ratio. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential impacts pertaining to diminishing habitat for wildllfe or plants have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the 1999 Final EIR. b. Wetlands Habitat Potentially Significant Impact: The proposed project proposes to retain 0.97 acre of wetland on site. The retention may have a significant impact on the City's ability to improve or divert flows in the drainage system north of the proposed project area. Finding: The Project's impacts on wetlands are discussed in Section 4.7 of the 1999 Final EIR. The lO/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary Intemet Files\OLKI4XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 36 1999 Final EIR determined that the Project's impacts on wetlands have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures described within the 1999 Final EIR. The following mitigation measure from the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum is still applicable and will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. 4. Z SA If the City desires to eliminate the retention of the wetland on site, an individual 404 permit shaH be obtained from the Corps by the applicant. Mitigation required by the Corps may include creation or enhancement of off-site wetland habitat at a ratio of at least 1:1 and as high as 3:1 (i. e., 3 acres created for each acre impacted). Provis ions of the permit shah be adhered to prior to the issuance of grading permits for the area which contains the wetland Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential impacts on wetlands have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the 1999 Final EIR. 8. CULTURAL RESOURCES a. Historic Human Burials and Cultural Materials Potentially Significant Impact: The potential for historic human burials and/or cultural materials may be present in the project area. Finding: The potential for the Project to disturb historic human burials and/or cultural materials during construction on the Project site is discussed in Section 4.8 of the 1999 Final EIR. The 1999 Final EIR determined that the Project's impacts on historic human burials and/or cultural materials have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures described within the 1999 Final EIR. The following mitigation measure from the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum is still applicable and will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. 4.8.1 In the event a cultural resource is uncovered during the course of the project, ground disturbing activities in the vicinity of the find should be redirected until the nature and extent of the find can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist. If human remains are encountered, the San Bernardino County Coroner must be notified within 24 hours. If the coroner determines that the burial is not historic, but prehistoric, the Native American Heritage Commission must be contacted to determine the most likely descendent (MLD) for this area. The MLD may become involved with the disposition of the burial. Facts and Analysis in Support of the Finding: The potential impacts pertaining to disturbance of human remains during construction have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the 1999 Final EIR. 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary lntemet FileS\OLK14\FINDINGS#2.WPD) 37 C. IMPACTS ANALYZED IN THE FINAL EIR, DRAFt EIR, RECIRCULATED DRAFT EIR AND ADDENDUM AND DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIF CANT AND UNAVOIDABLE. With the implementation of all available and feasible mitigation measures recommended in the 1999 Final EIR, Draft EIR, Recimulated DraFt EIR, and Ardenrum the following adverse impacts of the proposed Project stated below are considered to be significant and unavoidable, both individually and cumulatively, based upon infonnation in the EIR and Addendum, in the record, and based upon testimony provided during the public hearings on this project. These impacts are considered significant and unavoidable despite the mitigation measures which are imposed and which will reduce impacts to the extent feasible. 1. AIR QUALIrY a. Increased Vehicle Emissions Significant Unavoidable Impact: Vehicular trips associated with the Victoria Arbors Village Project would produce emissions that would exceed the SCAQMD daily thresholds for the criteria pollutant of CO, ROC, and NOx. Finding: Issues associated with the Project's impact on air quality are discussed in Section 4.3 of the SEIR. Implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the 1999 Final EIR would not reduce the criteria pollutant emissions for CO, ROC, and NOx associated with vehicle emissions of the proposed project to a less than significant level. This air quality impact would remain significant and unavoidable after mitigation. This impact is overridden by the project benefits as set forth in the statement of overriding considerations The following measures from the 1999 Final EIR and are sti 11 applicable, but will not mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. Use of transportation demand measures (TDM) such as preferential parking for vanpooling/carpooling, subsidy for transit pass or vanpooling/ carpooling, flextime work schedule, bike racks, lockers, showers, and onsite cafeteria shall be incorporated in the design of the commercial land uses. 4.3.3B. The project proponent shall determine with the City and the electrical purveyor if it is feasible to pre-wire houses for electrical charges for EF cars and/or optic-fibers for home offices. If feasible, install EF charges andor optic-~bers per the electrical purveyor's direction prior to Certificate of Occupancy. 4.3.3C Install EV chargers or alternative fuel stations (natural gas) for community wide use at key commercial and public location(s) such as park and ride lots, Metrolink stations, and commercial centers. 4.3.3.D. The developer shah contract with a mitigation monitor to assure compliance and implementation with the mitigation monitoring program. 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTcmporaW Intomet FiIcS\OLKI4\FINDINGS#2.WPD) 38 o751 Facts in Support of the Finding: Although emissions of these criteria pollutants would be 11 percent less than those associated with the original development plan analyzed in 1999, mobile source emissions associated with the Victoria Arbors Village project would exceed daily thresholds established by SCAQMD (550 ppd CO, 75 ppd ROC, and 100 ppd NOx), and is an impact which remains significant and unavoidable. IV PROJECT ALTERNATIVES For purposes of analyzing potential environmental impacts, the Section 6 of the Draft EIR and Recirculated Draft EIR evaluated the proposed project and four alternatives. The four alternatives evaluated are the No Project Alternative (as required by CEQA), Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan, Low Medium Density Residential, and School/Park Alternatives. These Statement of Facts and Findings address the proposed project as the alternative to be considered for approval by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, pursuant to staffs recommendation. Characteristics of the preferred alternative are provided herein. The following is a brief description of the alternatives considered, see Section 6.0 of the 1999 Final EIR for more detail. Environmentally Superior Alternative The No Project/No Development Alternative is an Environmentally Superior Alternative since no development would occur on the project site. Unlike the proposed project or the project alternatives, the No Project/No Development Alternative would not increase demand for public services, increase traffic volumes, circulation, air emissions, and noise levels (associated with construction and operation of additional land uses), cause the additional need for recreational facilities, or increase potential impacts to biological or cultural resources, land use incompatibilifies, and aesthetics that may otherwise result from development of the project site. Significant short-term construction emissions would be eliminated, and significant unavoidable long-term CO, ROC, and NOx emissions would be reduced with the No Project/No Development Alternative. As required by CEQA (Section 15126(d)(4), if the No Project/No Development Alternative is selected as the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives. Among the alternatives considered, there was not an alternative to the proposed project that would contain a development scenario that would not have a significant adverse impact on air quality. Even after mitigation is implemented, the Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative, the Low-Medium Alternative, and the School/Park Alternative would continue to have unavoidable adverse impacts on air quality. Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative has the least damaging environmental impacts on aesthetics with the inclusion of lakes and associated open space. Of the viable alternatives, the School and Park Alternative would result in a slight increase in daily and peak hour vehicle trips and contaminant emissions but when compared with the proposed project all other impacts are generally considered the same. There would, however, be an increase in the available open space with this 10/30/00(C:\WINNT~Temporary Internet Files\OLK I4\FIND[NGS#2.WPD) 39 alternative by providing an open space trail system from the winery through the adjacent park south to Church Street. This would result in less impacts on open space than for the proposed project. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative. If the site is to contain the lakes and open space area proposed in the Victoria Lakes Village, the City would have to provide long-term maintenance of the area. The cost to maintain the lakes and open space may cause an additional burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for the open space and lakes is not certain. Low-Medium Density Alternative provided a more logical land use alternative to the impacts associated with increase noise and potential incompatibility issues of locating office commercial uses (OP) adjacent to single family residences (LM). This alternative would require changing OP to LM in the Etiwanda Specific Plan area between Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. However, there still exists the potential impacts of noise and increases pollutants by locating LM adjacent to the I-15 corridor in the area of Church Street. This is also an impact of the proposed project. Through the analysis in Section 4.0 of the 1999 Final EIR and the alternatives analysis in this seerion, it was determined that the proposed project is the environmentally superior alternative. As discussed above none of the alternatives with the exception of the No Build/No Development Alternative reduces the long-term impacts on air quality. With implementation of proposed mitigation, the proposed project' s impacts on land use, traffic, noise, aesthetics, parks, open space, schools, police, biological resources and cultural resources have been reduced to levels of less than significant. No Project Alternative Under the No Project/No Development Alternative, the project site would remain in its existing vacant condition. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project would be avoided, especially the proposed project's impacts on air quality which remain significant after mitigation. Evaluation of the No Project Alternative The No Project/No Development Alternative would reduce and/or eliminate all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project. In particular, significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds for daily operations by a large'margin (especially NOx), would not occur with this alternative. However, this alternative would result in impacts by eliminating opportunities to provide housing and meet the goals of the City's General Plan Housing Element. Finding: The No Project/No Development Alternative was rejected as an alternative because it would fail to meet three important objectives of the project and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The first objective is to preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City and provide a variety of housing types for various income levels; the second objective is to protect the neighborhood quality and residential nature of the neighborhood to the east; the third objective is to provide infill residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community l 0/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary Internet Files\OLK14XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 40 Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative This alternative suggests that the project site be developed under the approved plans of the Victoria Community Plan and the Efiwanda Specific Plan. Under the Victoria Lakes Village Plan of the Victoria Community Plan, the proposed project is designated for higher residential densities. The character of the lakes was to be formed by the unique relationship of the residential, commercial, and recreational land uses surrounding a system of three terraced lakes that are designated as the village open space. Under this alternative, the 25.48 acres residing in the Etiwanda Specific Plan of the proposed project would remain Office/Professional as designated in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Evaluation of the Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative The Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda specific Plan Alternative would reduce but not eliminate all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project. In particular, significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the SCAQMD thresholds for daily operations by a large margin would still occur with this alternative. However, this alternative would result in potentially greater impacts to air quality, noise and traffic because the approved Victoria Community and Etiwanda Specific Plans in this area propose a greater number of dwelling units and intendity of land use. This alternative would slightly increase the need for public services such as police and fire but especially schools. The proposed project provides for an elementary school site to house all elementary school students generated by the proposed project. The approved Victoria Community Plan does not provide for a school site and would have a significant adverse impact on elementary schools in the area. This altemative would reduce the aesthetic impacts (open space) of the proposed project by providing more open space acreage in the form of a tiered lake feature from Base Line Road south to Church Street. This linear feature would include active park space and a trails system. The proposed project includes a trails system that is in conformante with the requirements of the Victoria Community Plan. This trail would tie the trail system north of Base Line Road to trails planned south of Church Street and west to Day Creek Channel. The proposed project also includes a 7.l-acre active community park adjacent to a 10.6-acre school site. Both the proposed project and this alternative lack the required park space needed to meet the needs of the planned increase in population. Mitigation would be required of both the proposed project and this alternative to reduce impacts to parks to less than significant. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of The Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative. If the site is to contain the lakes and open space area proposed in the Victoria Lakes Village, the City would have to provide long-term maintenance of the area. The cost to maintain the lakes and open space may cause an additional burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for the open space and lakes is not certain. 10/30/00(C:\WINNTxTemporary Internet Files\OLKI4XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 41 Finding: The Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative was rejected as an alternative because the significant unavoidable impacts of the Victoria Arbors Village Project on air quality would not be avoided nor substantially lessened with development of this alternative. Low-Medium Density Residential Alternative Under the Low-Medium alternative, the project site would be developed to have low-medium density residential noah of Church Street, south of Base Line Road, between Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. This land use category allows for low medium density single family residential (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) which is appropriate in proximity to major community facilities, employment opportunities, and thoroughfares. The Office Professional designation would be eliminated and replaced with the Low- Medium designation (Figure 6.1). The low-medium density residential is the most common use in the proposed project and the addition of this use along Etiwanda Avenue would be compatible with what is proposed. Evaluation of the Low-Medium Density Alternative With the exception of potential impacts to public services, impacts associated with the Low-Medium Density Residential Alternative are either the same/similar or less of a potential impact than those stated in the proposed project. Significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin, would still occur with this alternative. Although this alternative would slightly increase the number of vehicle trips m/from the areas in question, this increase would not be considered significant. Potentially greater impacts to public services would slightly increase the need for public services such as police and fire, and especially schools. The proposed project provides for an elementary school site to house all elementary school students generated by the proposed project. Adherence to mitigation measures stated in the proposed project will reduce impacts to public services to a less than significant level. Finding: The Low-Medium Density Residential Alternative was rejected as an alternative because the significant unavoidable impacts of the Victoria Arbors Village Project on air quality would not be avoided nor substantially lessened with development of this alternative. This alternative would also increase impacts to public services and schools. School/Park Alternative Under the School/Park Altemative the school and park would be located adjacent to the winery, south of Base Line Road and west of Victoria Loop. There would also be an open space corridor that would extend from the wetland area west of Victoria Loop south to Church Street. This alternative would promote an open space feel between the winery and the park and could possibly tie the historic theme of the winery with the park. Proposed land uses west of Etiwanda and north of Church Street would remain Office Professional (OP) and Low-Medium (LM) (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) for the remaining areas between Victoria Loop on 10/30/00(C:\WFNNTxTempormy lnternet FilesXOLK14XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 42 the west, Etiwanda Avenue on the east, Base Line to the north and Church Street on the south. This area is all within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. This alternative proposes to leave an OP buffer adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue that includes and Nichiren Shoshu Temple and the existing residential property on the northwest corner of Church Street and Etiwanda. Evaluation of the School/Park Alternative With the exception of potential impacts to public services, impacts associated with the School/Parks Alternative are either the same/similar or less of a potential impact than those stated in the proposed project. Significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin would still occur with this altemative. Although this alternative would slightly increase the number of vehicle trips to/from the areas in question, this increase would not be considered significant. Potentially greater impacts to public services would slightly increase the need for public services such as police and fire, and especially schools. The proposed project provides for an elementary school site to house all elementary school students generated by the proposed project as does this alternative. Adherence to mitigation measures stated in the proposed project will reduce impacts to public services to a less than significant level. This alternative would have a beneficial impact on aesthetics by providing a view shed corridor south through the park and school site from travelers on Base Line Road. The location of the park adjacent to the winery may also provide opportunities for activities including historic preservation and vineyard related experience to occur. However, locating a park in the central portion of the project site can provide for a neighborhood connection to surrounding residential development. Finding: The School/Parks Alternative was rejected as an alternative because the significant unavoidable impacts of the Victoria Arbors Village Project on air quality would not be avoided nor substantially lessened with development of this alternative. This alternative would also increase impacts to public services and schools. Alternative Site to the Victoria Arbors Village Project An alternative site was not considered because the Victoria Arbors Village Project is simply modifying the existing, entitled project; therefore, relocating the proposed project to another site is impossible. An alternative site would not accomplish the objectives of the proposed project that is to amend the original approved plan and was, therefore, rejected from further consideration. VI. PROJECT BENEIqI'S The benefits from the approving the Victoria Arbors Village Project are related to the establishment of a residential and commercial planned development that will provide a new, high quality residential community I 0/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary lnternet FileS\OLK 14\FINDINGS#2.WPD) 43 within the City. The benefits of the Victoria Arbors Village Project will result in a well-designed urban type development that provides for some major backbone infrastructure that would not be made available to the community without this Project's development. The following benefits will occur as a result of project implementation. All feasible mitigation has been proposed to reduce or avoid potentially significant impacts identified in the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum, and no additional feasible mitigation is available to further reduce all potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance. The adoption of the Victoria Arbors Village project is necessary to provide for the orderly growth and development of the area by providing policies, regulations, and guidelines that will guide further development in a manner consistent with the policies of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the desires of the community, and ensure provision of infrastructure improvements that are necessary to provide for adequate circulation, delivery of utilities, control of drainage, and disposal of wastewater. The Victoria Arbors Village project is necessary for the City to adequately control and regulate orderly development and help ensure that new development is consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The Victoria Arbors Village project provides a circulation system which incorporates bicycle, pedestrian, and automotive considerations resulting in a balanced transportation system within the project area. The trails will connect the residential neighborhoods with the commercial regional areas within the community. VII. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopts this Statement of Overriding Considerations with respect to the significant unavoidable impacts identified in the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum, specificallyincreased local and regional air pollutant emissions from future development. This section of findings specifically addresses the requirements of Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, which require the lead agency to balance the benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable significant impacts and to determine whether the impacts are acceptably overridden by the project benefits. The City finds that the previously stated major project benefits, see Section V and VI above, of the Victoria Arbors Village Project, outweigh the unavoidable significant adverse environmental impacts noted above. Each of the separate benefits of the proposed development to be governed by the planned development cited in Section V above, is hereby determined to be, in itself and independent of the other project benefits, a basis for overriding all unavoidable environmental impacts identified in the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum and in these findings. The City's findings set forth in the preceding sections have identified all of the adverse environmental impacts and the feasible mitigation measures which can reduce impacts to less than significant levels where feasible, or to the lowest feasible levels where significant impacts remain. The findings have also analyzed four altematives to determine whether there are reasonable or feasible altematives to the proposed action or whether they might reduce or eliminate the significant adverse impacts of the proposed Project. The 1999 Final EIR and Addendum 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary Interact Files\OLKI4XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 44 d57 present evidence that implementing the development of the Victoria Arbors Village Prej~t will cause significant adverse impacts, which cannot be substantially mitigated to nonsignificant levels. These significant impacts have been outlined above and the City makes the following finding: Finding: Having considered the unavoidable adverse impacts of the Victoria Arbors Village Project to construct the planned development, the City hereby determines that all feasible mitigation has been adopted to reduce or avoid the potentially significant impacts identified in the 1999 Final EIR and Addendum, and that no additional feasible mitigation is available to further reduce significant impacts. Further, the City finds that economic, social, and other considerations of the Victoria Arbors Village Proj eel outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts described above. The reasons for accepting these remaining unmitigated impacts are described below. In making this finding, the City has balanced the benefits oftheVictoria Arbors Village Project as developed against its unavoidable environmental impacts and has indicated its willingness to accept those risks. Furthermore, the City has considered the altematives to the project, and makes the following finding: Finding: Feasible altematives to the Victoria Arbors Village Project which are capable of reducing identified impacts have been considered and rejected because the alternatives offer a reduced level of benefit when compared to the Victoria Arbors Village Project. The City further finds that the Victoria Arbors Village Projeces benefits are substantial and override each unavoidable impact of the project, as follows: 1) Findings Regarding Air Quality Impacts Construction activities occurring in th Victoria Arbors Village Project area, including mass grading, will result in short-term increases in air emissions that exceed applicable thresholds of the SCAQMD, despite the imposition of mitigation measures. Short-term increases in air emissions from construction can be mitigated but are not entirely avoidable, as construction activities within this region will continue to provide necessary and vital housing. This impact is overridden by the new housing and jobs provided by the Victoria Arbors Village Project. The impacts from the Victoria Arbors Village Project on air quality will increase local and regional pollutants despite the imposition of several mitigation measures and implementation of Best Available Control Technology. Increases in local and regional pollutants are not entirely avoidable, as development activities within this region will continue to provide necessary and vital housing. This impact is also overridden by the new housing and jobs provided by the Victoria Arbors Village Project. Vlll. ADOPTION OF A MONITORING/REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE CEQA MITIGATION MEASURES 10/30/00(C:\WINNTXTemporary Internet Files\OLKI4XFINDINGS#2.WPD) 45 Section 21081.6 of the Public Resoumes Code requires the City adopt a monitoring plan regarding the changes in the project and mitigation measures imposed to lessen or avoid significant effects on the environment. The Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP), included as Appendix H in the 1999 Final EIR, is adopted by the City as modified, because it fulfills the CEQA mitigation monitoring requirements: The MMP is designed to ensure compliance with the changes in the project and mitigation measures imposed on the project during project implementation; and Measures to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements or other measures. 10/30/00(C:\WrNNT~TcmpOra~ lntcmct FileS\OLK14~FINDINGS#2.WPD) 46 RESOLUTION NO. 00-118 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE STATEMENT OF FACTS AND FINDINGS AND THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO CONSIDERATIONS FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 98-02, VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT 98-01, AND ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 98-01, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF A.

December 20, 2000 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the above land use applications through the adoption of the attached Resolution and Ordinances. BACKGROUND In January of 1998, the applicant submitted multiple land use amendments to the City. Because there were substantial changes to the land use, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required. The EIR was completed and processed according to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In July of 1999, with the Planning Commission recommendations, the City Council certified the EIR to be complete and adequate; however, the related proposed land use amendments were not approved because they were still being reviewed by the Planning Commission, and the General Plan Task Force was still evaluating the land use alternatives for the project area. In September of 1999, the applicant requested that his land use applications be placed on hold indefinitely. Since then, the applicant artended the General Plan Task Force meetings and understands the direction the City is heading towards with respect to the land use in the project area. Now that the General Plan Update is well on its way and a preferred land use plan has been established for the area, the applicant has modified his land use applications to reflect the preferred land use plan and, therefore, requests a reconsideration of his proposed amendments. ANALYSIS The Planning Commission conducted two workshops on October 11 and 25, 2000, to review the proposed amendments. The Commission supported the proposed change in land use and the development concept, but directed the applicant to address the concerns of providing exceptional design for housing products to be built upon lots under 5,500 square feet. The applicant agreed to design and provide exceptional housing design through a Master Plan. At the October 25 workshop, the applicant showed concepts of the innovative house plotting for the Commission's review. Staff anticipates the applicant submitting a Tentative Map, a Master Plan, and a Development Agreement by the end of this year. The Planning Commission was supportive of the concept. On November 8, 2000, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review the proposed amendments. At the hearing, the Commission received input from a resident, Mr. John Lyons, who commented that he is against changing commercially zoned land to residential. The Commission, after taking in public input, found that the proposed land use changes are in keeping with the intent of the Citywide General Plan Update. The Commission then unanimously recommended approval of the proposed General Plan, Victoria Community Plan, and Etiwanda Specific Plan amendments. Attached for Council review are copies of the November 8, 2000 Planning Commission Staff report and Minutes that contain detailed analysis of the proposed amendments, and the Commission's conclusions and recommendations. FACTS FOR FINDING The Planning Commission recommended the Council make the following facts for findings: The proposed site is suitable for the uses allowed in the proposed Land Use and Development District designations. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 - AMERICAN BEAUTY DEVELOPMENT CO. December 20, 2000 Page 3 The proposed amendments will have significant adverse impacts on the environment as described in the EIR, but the potential positive impacts of other environmental aspects will provide sufficient benefits, as listed in the Statement of Overriding Considerations attached to the proposed City Council Resolution. The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan and Victoria Community Plan because they promote the goals and objectives for residential and commercial development.

November 8, 2000 Page 2 BACKGROUND: In January of 1998, the applicant submitted multiple land use amendments to the City. Because there were substantial changes to the land use, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required. The EIR was completed and processed according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In July of 1999, with the Planning Commission recommendations, the City Council certified the EIR to be complete and adequate; however, did not approve the land use amendment. With regards to the proposed land use changes, the City Council raised the issue of the appropriate land use for a large land area generally bounded by Base Line Road, I-15 Freeway, Day Creek Channel, and Foothill Boulevard. The land area in question included the proposed project area. In particular, the City was concerned with the transition of density from residential areas to the regional mall site and the appropriate land uses surrounding the historic winery. The reasons for the concerns were that there was a strong sentiment to preserve the existing winery and the City was in the process of updating the General Plan. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council felt uncomfortable in reviewing and taking action on the proposed land use changes without the completed General Plan Update. Sensing that the Planning Commission and the City Council would not support the proposed land use changes, the applicant requested putting his land use applications on hold indefinitely. With the City's General Plan Update steadily progressing, and with anticipation of a future regional center proposal from Forest City Development Company, the applicant requested reactivation of the proposed land use amendments. ANALYSIS: A. General Plan Amendment 98-02: Relationship of Proposed Amendment with the Citv's General Plan Update: The proposed amendment is within a major land use study area for the General Plan Update generally bounded by Base Line Road, Etiwanda Avenue, Day Creek Channel, and Foothill Boulevard, as shown in Exhibit "B." The applicant has attended a series of General Plan Task Force meetings and now understands the direction the City is heading in for the land use for this special study area. In addition, the proponent has been working with Forest City Development Company in jointly molding the development concept for the residential village in relation to the future regional center. The land use concept proposed by the General Plan Task Force is Mixed Use. The applicant feels that their proposed project is consistent with the concept advocated by the General Plan Task Force. Amend the Land Use Desianation to Mixed Use: The land use concept proposed is Mixed Use. The current General Plan has provisions for this land use designation. Exhibit "F" shows the Mixed Use boundary for the proposed project. The remaining areas that are "not-a-part" within the entire village will be subject to separate General Plan and Victoria Plan Amendments or the citywide General Plan Amendment slated tentatively for early 2001. A proposed Mixed Use land use designation will allow the zoning to establish a range of residential uses from Low to High density, a mix of commercial, community, and civic uses, and a mixed use of commercial with residential above. Staff Comments: Staff believes that the proposed Mixed Use is consistent with the direction of the City's General Plan Update. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, AND ESPA 98-01 - AMERICAN BEAUTY DEV. CO. November 8, 2000 Page 3 Amend the Circulation, and Park and Recreation Elements of the General Plan: Because the development concept includes the extension of a central spine street, Victoria Park Lane, the Circulation Element needs to be amended to reflect that. The development concept also includes a 7.5-acre park and a 10-acre school. The Park and Recreation Element needs to be amended to reflect the changes. Exhibit "G" shows the changes to the two elements. B. Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01: Land Use Concept. The proposed land use concept is a Mixed Use zone consistent with the above proposed land use designation. The proposed Mixed Use zone will allow a range of residential uses from Low to High density, a mix of commercial, community, and civic uses, and a mixed use of commercial with residential above. Based on the applicant's proposal, the core of the village, which is bounded by Base Line Road, Foothill Boulevard, Day Creek Channel, and Etiwanda Avenue, can be divided into three main neighborhoods in land use arrangement. Between Base Line Road and the future Church Street is a more single-family oriented neighborhood. Between Day Creek Boulevard and Day Creek Channel, south of the future Church Street, is a neighborhood with a mix of multi-family residential and commercial uses. The last neighborhood is the regional center. Staff Comments: Staff believes that the proposed Mixed Use zone is consistent with the direction of the City's General Plan Update. By requiring a Master Plan, the final arrangement and pattern of residential land use densities, commercial, and civic/community uses, and the necessary buffering of incompatible land uses will be refined. A Condition of Approval requiring a Master Plan prior to the first residential development has been placed in the proposed ordinance. Another Condition of Approval requires setting up design criteria on the arrangement of residential land use with proper transition of residential density where higher density, such as condominiums and apartments, will be placed adjacent to or mixed with commercial uses. For the commercial-oriented land uses, including the regional center, a separate Master Plan will be required at the time of development. The Design Review Committee/Planning Commission will have the opportunity to review the Master Plan through a series of workshops. Villaqe Concept. The purpose of a village concept is to establish a distinctive character of a village by describing its looks, features, and design. With the outgoing lakes concept, the applicant has had to find a substitute distinctive character. Because there is community sentiment to preserve the existing winery located at Base Line Road, the applicant is attempting to capture this, and create a winery theme and use it as the essence of the entire village. By describing the design and architectural elements typically found in wineries or wine countries, the applicant hopes to establish a winery character for the residential development. According to the applicant, those described elements will be expanded in the future Master Plan design guidelines for the residential neighborhoods. The village features a school; park; demonstration vineyards around the winery as a buffer; multiple greenways, paseos and trails linking residential neighborhoods to the school, park, and regional trails, such as along Day Creek Boulevard; and a strong nortWsouth central spine PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, AND ESPA 98-01 - AMERICAN BEAUTY DEV. CO. November 8, 2000 Page 4 street from the winery south to the heart of the regional center terminating at a village green or square. Graphics or pictures depicting the essence of the central spine street are shown in the plan. Staff Comments: The current Victoria Lakes village is unique in design using the lakes as a strong central unifying element for the entire village. However, the winery- flavor village concept proposed by the applicant merits support. Following are Conditions of Approval that the applicant must address at the time of Master Plan submittal: Add language in the residential portion of the village that requires lots under 5,500 square feet to have innovation in subdivision design and housing products. Add references that exhibits of innovative housing products are to be shown in the future Master Plan and shall be followed. At the October 25, 2000, Planning Commission workshop, the applicant provided examples of housing products that de-emphasized the garages, as shown in Exhibit "J." The Planning Commission accepted them in concept and directed the applicant to follow through with the Master Plan, which shall be submitted for review. Demonstrate how the buffering vineyards south of the winery facility can be privately maintained without burdening City's resources. Cm Provide a strong pedestrian/paseo/trail (30 to 50 feet wide) connection between Victoria Park Lane, at Base Line Road and Victoria Loop Road, to the central spine street. Provide a special treatment for the intersection of Victoria Park Lane and Base Line Road to redirect the primary pedestrian paseo to the newly created central spine. The central spine street shall be the extension of Victoria Park Lane and resume the planned community concept in its street width (133 to 180 feet) and trail continuation. This central spine street serves as the focal point of the residential portion of the village and connects to the future regional center through an open space village green and square. This central spine street shall have the following elements: reduce street pavement as deemed safe by the City Engineer; provide a Class I bike path to one side of the widened parkway; and provide a centralized theme of amenities in the median island, such as, but not limited to, the arbors with showcase of grape varieties, pedestrian friendly street furniture, water elements, display of art pieces, a minimum width of 40 feet for the medium island, etc. e. Provide a strong vertical element/landmark, for example a tall clock tower, at the village green. fm Within City maintained areas, demonstration vineyards, viticulture and/or agricultural displays, and landscaping are discouraged. Instead, the grove imagery of citrus or other orchard crops can be promoted through formal ornamental tree plantings. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, AND ESPA 98-01 -AMERICAN BEAUTY DEV. CO. November 8, 2000 Page 5 gm Provide a master plan of greenways and paseos for the neighborhood west of Day Creek Boulevard, south of future Church Street. School and Park: The location of a school was considered previously and accepted by the Etiwanda School District. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the park site and accepted the location at their October 19, 2000, meeting. The graphics showing the design of the park is for illustration only, and is subject to Park and Recreation Commission review and approval. Open Space: The Victoria Lakes village has 19 acres of open space in the form of three tier lakes. The proposed Victoria Arbors village for the residential portion of the village has a total of 9.5 acres of open space in the form of greenways, paseos, an extension of Victoria Park Lane, and demonstration vineyards. Because the development concept for the village includes a large village green and square within the commercial regional center, the open space total for this village will increase to similar size acreage. Additional Staff Comments on Text and Graphics of the Community Plan Chancles: Staff has additional comments as marked on the document, as shown in Exhibit "D." The applicant agreed to revise the text and graphics to address staff comments. A Condition of Approval is placed in the attached Resolution requiring that the final version of the pertinent pages, including graphics, statistics, and sections of the Community Plan incorporating all Conditions of Approval shall be submitted for City Planner review and approval. Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01: The applicant proposes to move 27 acres located at the northwest quadrant of Etiwanda Avenue and Church Street from the Etiwanda Specific Plan to the Victoria Community Plan and to change the land use from Office Professional to Mixed Use. Staff Comments: The proposed Mixed Use zone is consistent with the direction of the City's General Plan Update. The General Plan Task Force did not provide directions on whether boundaries between the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the Victoria Community Plan should be changed or maintained. However, it is evident from the General Plan Task Force discussion that a change in the land use to Mixed Use would not negate the special development and design standards currently existing in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant has added language to ensure that development projects within 150 feet along Etiwanda Avenue will use the development and design standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The language also mentioned that the houses will be amhitecturally plotted fronting on Etiwanda Avenue. Therefore, staff recommends that the 27 acres be moved to the Victoria Community Plan and not be retained in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOPS: The Planning Commission conducted two workshops on October 11, and 25, 2000, to review the proposed changes. The Commission supported the proposed change in the land use and the development concept but directed the applicant to address concerns regarding providing exceptional design for housing products under 5,500 square feet. Attached are draft copies of the workshops minutes (Exhibit "1"). o9,7/ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, AND ESPA 98-01 - AMERICAN BEAUTY DEV. CO.

The diagram shows conceptually how the open space and trail system will work tc accomplish this. .... 29 {~EVISED DATE REATE AN OVERALL LANDSCAPED URBAN ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS ~ VISITORS OF VICTORIA, THE CITY OF RANCliO CUCAMONGA, AND THE R~GION. ~ The special landscape quality of Victoria will be created 'by using' lhe~establishe8 local landscape vocabular~'~hr0ughout the new community. The windrow style of planting - trees with a vertical growing habit that are planted in a closely spaced linear pattern- will be found throughout Victoria as Special Boulevards, adjacent to utilit~ corridors, and weaving through residential areas as part of the trail system. The naturalized landscape character of Victoria Linear Park is an extension and enrichment of the rustic quality that pervades the planning area. The lake syste~ is a dramatic new element which will reinZorce the connection between the residential and commercial land uses, and will provide an exciting~/ ive urban focus for Victoria. . "~TH E VICTORIA COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN On the following pages is the land use plan for the planning area. On this diagram, the integrative open space elements that unify the residential and commercial uses of each village have been illustrated. Victoria Groves, Victoria Vineyards and Victoria Windrows each have a multi-use community facility as the central village amenity. Victoria Linear Park links these open spaces together and provide one continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail system for the entire community. At the terminus of Victoria Linear Park, adjacent to Victoria Lakes, is a large community recreation facility. A lake overlook at this loc~tion will allow views into the heart of the regional center. T~e open space connection to the regional center is provided by the public pedestrian and bicXcle trails of Victoria Linear Park, which follow the lake edge into the regional center. 'The residential areas are connected to the central community open space of their village by the trail system. EGIONAL SHOPPING CENTEB, v) ~ The focus of urban activity is the regional shopping center, The lake system actually comes into th~ heart of the "U" shaped center, creating an active exciting place for people with'a mix of civic, community and commercial activities along the lake edge. Surrounding the regional center will be related commercial businesses, offices and some residences. Within each Village, a convenient neighborhood shopping center will serve the everyday needs of Village residents. The goal is to provide a balance of commercial activities within Victoria and Rancho Cucamonga that encourage a more interesting and diverse city and promotes the conservation of energy and natural. resources by placing these facilities close to the people who will be using them. 37 LM M CITY PARK BASELINE VC LM ~ M M PROPOSED FWY ; LM -I'M' LM LM '.

LI The character of Victoria Lakes is formed by the unique relationship of the residential, commercial and recreational land uses surrounding the lakes which become the village's central open space. The intent is to create a high quality, water related community, with an activ&, people-oriented water edge that serves the'residents of the Victoria Lakes Village, the entire community of Victoria, and the Cityof Rancho Cucamonga in general. VIT3~GE E~'rRY The most gracious entrance to residenti~ portions of the Village is on ViCtoria Park Lane at Baseline. North of Baseline, Victoria Linear Park's landscape character and design is similar throughout its entire length. South of Baseline, however, Victoria Park Lane takes on a more formal character, with regularly spaced trees. Victoria Park Lane terminates at a large circular pedestrian plaza at the north end of North Victoria Lake. Victoria Park Lane terminates at a large circular pedestrian plaza at the north end of North Victoria Lake. There will be a lake overlook at this point, a destination Where pedestrians and bicyclists can gather and look across the open vista created by the lakes and lakes' edges. A conceptual plan of the pedestrian plaza is shown below: [1] This circular pedestrian plaza shall be softshed to reduce the impact of the amount of hardscape. 7 3 REVISED DATE '-' THE VILLAGE EDGES The Village edges are ~_he railroad tracks on the North, Etiwanda Avenue on the East, the Devote Freeway on the Southeast and Day Creek on the West. The e~ge treat~ment for Etiwanda A~enue and the railroad tracks have been discussed previously. The proposed t=eatment Of the Day Creek right- of-way and the adjoining Southern Ca!i=ornia Edison corridor is showr~ in below. Because of the excellent visibility o= the southern halZ of the Village from the Devote Freeway, most of t. he land adjacent ~ the freeway will be occupied by the regional shopping center and related commercial facilities. This serves the needs of ~_he major department stores for freeway visibility and access, and the needs of the residential c~mmunity for buffering from the freeway. D SI Cr= , / 5 C E 74 PUBLIC pARK AT NORTH VICTORIA LAKE Along the western edge of North Victoria Lake, a public park facility will be located. This park will serve the entire community and provide uses compatible with the character of the lake. Lake edges will be public to provide maximum access to this specialsPark. A conceptual plan of the park and lake is shown on page 76a. REGIONAL RELATED USES ON LAKE EDGE The regional related uses adjacent to South Victoria Lake would be compatible with both the residential community to the north and the regional center to the south. Some commercial activity, such as restaurants, etc., would be appropriate in this area. Additional residential uses, should they be necessary, would also be appropriate on the lakeedge. TRAILS FOLLOW LAKE SYSTaI~ iNTO HEART OF THE REGIONAL CENTER [3'] The park and trail system of victoria Park Lane shall continue around both sides of all three lakes down to Miller Avenue where it is expected to cross Miller and continue into the regional center.' The quality of the edge, that is, whether it appears as a natural lake edge or an urban water edge may vary. [3] However, the lower lake edge shall be designed with a more urban wa~er edge, such as bulk-heads. The Natural Lake Edge cross- section shows a typical eight-foot trail and edge condition at the lake in the residential areas along North Victoria Lake. A cross section depicting a portion of the trail system that connects the lake area to Victoria Loop Road between the residential areas east of the lakes is shown on page 76a. 76 REVISED DATE ,O PARK / LAKE CONCEPT TRAIL SECTION (Scc Page 77) 76a ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT PLAN in Rancho Cucamonga DEVISED DATE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE IN VICTORIA LAKES The residential.land uses of this village will be consistent with the character of the place that is being proposed. Residential densities will range from Low-Medium to Medium-High in this village. The Low-Medium residential (LM) designation allows from 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The Medium-High Density residential land use category (MH) includes housing products in a range of 14 to 24 dwellings per acre. Because of their location on the lake edge these dwellings will be of quality character and highly desirable, matching their unique setting. 78 {~EVtSED DATE 4/13/89 RR RR VICTORIA LAKES COMMUNITY PLAN Victoria A Planned Community in Rancho Cucamonga ? 9 r~EVtSED DATE REGIONAL CENTER IS URBAN FOCUS FOR VICTORIA The regional center will be the commercial focus of Victoria and of the region (which extends beyond the City of Rancho Cucamonga to include western San Bernardino County). It is important that this center fulfill its role as the active terminus of the community-wide open space system, and as an outstanding regional commercial facility. The array of department stores and commercial activities that typically fill a regional center will be a great credit to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, both in the image it creates for the city, and in the revenue it provides through sales taxes collected by the regional center merchants. The pedestrian plaza and trail system that connects the center to the community will make this development a unique place that will function as the civic plaza for Rancho Cucamonga, and where many public functions can occur. On the following page is an illustrative diagram showing the character of the center's north entry that will make this place exciting, people-oriented and active. This entry. to the regional center is conceptually designed to function in concert with the entry to the Regional Related uses directly north across Miller Avenue. The potential for two specialty restaurants at this location would include water features flanking their entry. The trail system will have direct, convenient access to the center from the expected specialty restaurant uses. 8O REVISED DATE DEPT. STORE 6 DEPT.

At a local level, mini-bus service on Victoria Park Lane could provide efficient community access to the regional center and related commercial and office uses from the residential villages. City-wide bus service on arterial roads will assure adequate connections to city services and facilities. Should rapid transit facilities be built within the existing railroad right-of-way, the plan proposes a possible location for a rapid transit station at Baseline and Day Creek Boulevard. 95 ~EVISED DATE COMMUNITY FACILITIES The Victoria Community plan will provide community facilities to meet community needs. These facilities will be conlvenient to village residents and. will minimize dependence on facilities outside the community. 'PARKS 'AND OPEN SPACE parks and open space have been integrated into the community to form the character and identity of each individual village, as well as Victoria as a whole. This will be accomplished by locating park and community facilities at the center of each village, connecting the residential areas to the central facilities via an extensive trail system, and ~hen connecting each village open space by Victoria Linear Park. Village Parks in residential areas will be large enough to accommodate facilities for use by all village residents. Placing parks next to school playgrounds and facilities will also maximize efficient use of community open space. The lake system will serve as the open space for the re- sidential~ commercial and oz~lce sp~ce~ Lhz~ surround them, and as-err in=ergranive open space element for all of Victoria. This is assured by the public lake edge, which will be accessible to all, and ~_he sequence of land uses on the lake which will create an exciting transition Erc~ the residential land uses to the north, and the regional commercial center at the southern terminus. In addition to the open space provided by Village parks, Victoria Linear park, and the Victoria Lakes open space that is part of the flood control or Southern California Edison will serve many communi:y needs. Where appropriate, regional ~rail connections can be made through the Day Creek 97 or Deer Creek flood control channel right-of-ways. Edison corridors can provide !and for agricultural uses such ~{ turf farms, nurseries, orchards, or community gardens· Flood control land and public utility corridors will otherwise remain in a natural condition, providing habitat and refuge for native wildlife. SCHOOLS Schools have been planned for Victoria to complement and reinforce the open space system. They will be located close to the village parks in the residential neighborhoods, and access by foot or bicycle via the trail system is assured. Joint use of school facilities for broad community needs will be encouraged to make the schools a hub of activity for village activities. CHURCHES In addition to the several sites that exist within. the core planning area, this plan has proposed several new sites. They are indicated on =he Land Use plan. Other arrangements are also encouraged for religious groups including: Shared facilities at local schools. Though this is not a suitable permanent solution, it can serve temporary needs. Shopping centers or adjacent to sho.m.oing centers, including Village Commercial, Regional Related and Regional Center, are permissible locations for churches. They can share use of =he commercial uses parking during the off-hour~ of Sunday morning. Condcminium churches permit joint use church complexes and a reduced land cost for church groups. Such innovative uses and plans are encouraged within the Planned Community- CONSF, RVATION OF RESOURCES Wi:n=n the Planned Community many elements have been structured to provide for ~he conservation of resources. The following discussion su~narizes how this is accomplished. USE WATER FOR PLANT MATERIALS WHF_=~E THE COMMUNFTY BENEFITS MOST Water will be conserved wherever possible by u~ing low maintenance or drought tcler~tt plant material. For example, Victoria Parkway will have a rustic, naturalized character created by informal planting/of trees, shrubs and grasses. This ~aracter exists now and is a conscious way of extendi~ ~ne naturalized landscape to create a strong cc--.J~unity identity. Allowing the grasses and shrubs to establish a naturalized character will preclude the necessity of watering these plants heavily in ~he clryer months and will lower future maintenance costs. Conserving water in naturalized areas will allow =he use of water where it will be most effective for intense community use, such as in ~he parks and lakes. The parks, therefore, will have some lawn areas which will accommodate the many -uses that require a well main~a~ned lawn. "' , A LAKE SYSTEM CAN SAVE WATER A properly installed and well maintained lake system also conserves water in several impor.'.ant ways. First, !or lakes of the size proposed in this plan, the actual water use on a year to year basis is about ~he same or less as for an equivalent amount of carefully cultured open space. They will actually use less water than an equivalent amount of land in ~he same place used as a golf course. Second, a properly designed lake will minimize percolation of water into the ground water table, so that actual net losses will only be due to evaporation. Third, the lake system could use recycled water, should it become available. The lake system is not used as a conveyance for project storm flows. During storm conditions, North and central victoria Lake inflows from direct precipitation over.the water surfaceS.and the surrounding lake edges can overflow and spill into South Victoria Lake from which flows are directed to Day Creek. Finally, a body of water of the size uni e proposed by this plan will have a greater impact as a ~ environmental amenity than an equivalent amount of well irrigated open space, and at the same time could result in a net water savings. In the case of Rancho Cucamonga, a lake solution is the most resourceful way to develop an interesting and viable community center. EXTENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM ENCOURAGES USE OF BICYCLES AND pEDESTRIANS Trail systems work best where =hey connect the community residents to the places they use most. The trail system in victoria is extensive'and will provide the connection that will be most useful to its residents. Direct access is provided to local parks and schools, to village commercial centers, to regional trails and open space, and to other villages. On a regional level, connections will be made to the community's major commercial centers, to the developing industrial center and to neighboring Terra Vista. A community Trail is planned along the north side of Miller Avenue that will connect the village to the greenway trail in Tetra Vista. This system will encourage bicycles and pedestrians thereby reducing automobile traffic and improving air quality. 100 REVISED DATE STATISTICAL SUMMARY STATISTICAL SUMMARY PLAN ='VOLVES THROUGH TiME The purpose of this section is to explain how residential density and the amount of acreage devoted to the land uses proposed can work together to make the Vic=oria Community pl~n-'a'reality.

Residential Land Uses Land Within Planning Area Not A Part of Planned Comunity 955 1870, 280 Total Planning Area Acreage 2150 APPROACH TO RESIDENTIAL DENSITY The Land Use Plan for Victoria contains six different kinds cf reside-,tial land use designations- As described in the plan, ea. :esidentia! land use designatfcn will contain a variety cf housing types at various densities that are ccmpatib!e with that land use designation· Generally, the types of housing products allowed within a given land use area will be in a s~ecific density range. These density 106 ranges are summarized in the following chart: RESIDENTIAL DENSITY RANGES Low Density Single Family attached and detached homes on large lots, or clustered to maximize the effective use of open space 2-4 Dwelling Units Per Adjusted Gross Acre Low Medium Density Single family attached and detached homes on lots varying from 3000 SF to 7200 4-8 du/A Medium Density Attached single family homes, including duplexes, fourplex/ condominiums, townhomes (front'and rear loaded) and condominiums- Detached homes may be possible at-the lower end of the density range. 8-14 du/A Medium Hiuh Density Multifamily homes with space common open 14-24 du/A Hiah Densit? Multifamily homes; .typica!ly a 3 story building with covered and uncovered parking 24-30 du/A THE OPTIMUM YIELD CONCEPT Although a density range is a useful tool in determining the upper and lower quantity of residential units proposed for any land use, it is misleading to use as the precise guide in determining the actual number of dwelling unies within any specific village or land use category when both the cizy and its developers must commit a cetain level of expenditure to implement the plan. Therefore, the method of dealing with densit~ in this plan is based upon a realistic understanding of units which are necessary to provide the amenities described, the infrastructure needed, and the demands of the housing market. This number of units, or optimum yield, has been established for each village as an optimum n~ber of uni:s for that area based on the residential and community uses within that village. This planning approach provides density control, allows future flexibility, and establishes a realistic allowance for planning infra-structures. The key is to provide enough units of housing to assure housing needs can be met from local employment growth at prices locally employed workers can afford. A REALISTIC APPROACH TO RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Several reasons point to the optimum yield approach~ First, simply using the density range as a multiplier for each respective land use acreage produces a numerical range of dwelling units that is artifica!ly skewed on both high and low ends. The high end number of dwelling units assumes that every land use'category could be developed at the maxL%um density'allowable. This does not reflect the intention of The William Lyon Company nor market needs which must be met over a long period of time. initially, lower 108 density will be needed most, bu~ as the area matures, the majority of housing required to meet the CityIs needs will have to be met by attached housing. The low number of dwelling units is also unrealistic in that it .would force prices too high, and thereby not. allow the developer to meet the need for housing generated by the expanding local employment base. The optimum yield approach proposes an optimum number of units based on a sound understanding of what could reasonably be built on this site, retaining benefits both for the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the developers over a long period of time. This assumes a balance between short and long term needs for housing: in the shor~ term, a majority of detached houses~ in the long term, a majority of attached ownership houses. The optimum yield allows for adequate infrastructure planning and commitments to open space and recreational facilities. Other amenities and necessities can be properly sized and space allocated- Second, there are actual housing types that yield specific residential densities within the density range of each land use category which are most realistic- For example, category "LM', single family residential, includes products that yield from 4.5 du/acre to 6.8 du/acre. In determining the expected yield of dwelling units, these different products have been allocated throughout the "LM", category land use areas to provide a mix which represents today's best understanding of present and future market demand, and to provide the mixture of housing opportunities specified in the Rancho Cucamonga proposed General Plan- 'tO9 summarized as Residential Caretory "L" LOw Density follows: Persons Per ]~ousehold 3.4 Dwe!ling Population Units projection 450 1530 "LM" Low Medium Density "M" Medium Density e4 2120 7208 2395 5988 "M_E" Medium High Density High Density Totals 19~5 2917 1150 1725 8255 20,031 111 Non-native ornamentals that are drought tolerant will also be used. Acacia (Acacia spp.), 0live (Oleo euro.~ea), Eucalyl~tus (Eucalyptus s~p.) and pines (Pinus s~p.) are some of the pla~s that are suggested for use within Victoria. P'alms (~4asninc_=onia s~p., Phoenix s~.) also contribute to the existing landscape character, are drought resistant, and will be used in Victoria- WINDROW STYLE PLANTING Linear planrings of tall, upright species of trees will be found throughout Victoria and will-make a majo= contribution to the urban design quality. Although the Blue Gum (Eucalv!~_tus clobulus) is the traditional windrow tree in California, many other trees can be used to create the same landscape character. Eucalyptus, Silk oaks (Grevillea rebusta) and Lombardy Poplars (~c~ulus nit. re 'italica') are several of the many species that could be used in Victoria in areas designated for ~he windrow style planting. Among the areas that will have this tree=men= are= arterial road 'edges, along =rails throughout residential areas~ adjacent to the SCE corridors to screen views of the transmission towers, or along the flood control or railroad right-of-way.

Generally, trees and other plants should be the dominant elamen=s of these en=r~ statements.

CREATE AN OVERALL LANDSCAPED URBAN ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS PERCEWED AND USED AS A SPECIAL PLACE BY THE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF VICTORIA, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND THE REGION. The special landscape quality of Victoria will be created by using the established vocabulary throughout the new community. The windrow style of planting - trees with a vertical growing habit that are planted in a closely spaced, linear pattern - will be found throughout Victoria as "special boulevards", adjacent to utility corridors, and weaving through residential areas as part of the trail system. The naturalized landscape character of Victoria Linear Park is an extension and enrichment of the rustic quality that pervades the planning area. The landscaped boulevard/pedestrian spine in Victoria Arbors is an important new element of the plan that provides the connection between the residential areas and the school/park with the new downtown to the south and the historic wineiv to the north. Page 37- The Victoria Community Land Use Plan - Revise description THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN On the following pages is the land use plan for the planning area. On this diagram, the integrative open space elements which unify the residential and commercial uses of each village have been illustrated. Victoria Groves, Victoria Vineyards and Victoria Windrows each have a multi-use community facility as the central village amenity. Victoria Linear Park links these open spaces together and provides one continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail system for the entire community. The terminus of Victoria Linear Park is in the Village of Victoria Arbors. where it connects to a landscaped boulevard/pedestrian spine. which in mm connects the historic winery to the park/school site and ends as a Village Green and Town Square within the new downtown. This central activity and transportation spine will provide multiple connections. The primary connection is from the restored winery to the downtown. Secondary connections include: residential to residential nei~hnorhoods: residential to the park/school site: and residential to the commercial and regional downtown. As the spine boulevard enters the mixed e area offices, restaurants and civic uses, new downtown. Access to this open space condor is provided by a series ofpedes~an trails and is complmented with aceenid intosections ~d ~osswalks. Page 3 7 - Regional Shopping Square - Change to Regional Downtown and modify description REGIONAL DOWNTOWN The focus of urban activity within the Victoria Community is the regional retail center within Victoria Arbors - an open-air downtown mall surrounded by civic, commercial and residential uses. This downtown will feature retail uses of regional and community interest in the form of a Main Street with a Town Square at the base of the Village Green. This open-air mall and downtown area will feature enhanced pedestrian amenities, pocket parks, a central transportation node, and potentially, a shuttle system from parking lots to "Main Street" and from Main Street to the winery and residential and park uses alon~: the boulevard/pedestrian spine. Surrounding the re;:ional center will be related mixed uses of commercial businesses, offices and residential uses ofvaryin~ densities. This hierarchy of uses will provide a balance of commercial activities within Victoria and Rancho Cucamonga that encourage a more interesting and diverse city and promote the conservation orenero3, and natural resources by placing facilities close to people who will be usin~ them. At the time the 6 first development plan is submitted for commercial mixed use or residential mixed use, a Master Plan of development standards and design guidelines shall be established.

VICTORIA ARBORS THE VILLAGE OF VICTORIA ARBORS VILLAGE CONCEPT The Village of Victoria Arbors is multi-use community thematically tied to its historic winery and containing a centrally located neighborhood school/park and an adjacent regional retail downtown. The historic winery at the north of the community will provide the village with its thematic identity, with a "vineyard buffer" that both separates and connects the winery with the village. The village will incorporate landscape references to the viiiculture history and incomomte element that mirror "wine country" character in its streetscapes and entries and will use street names evokin~ "wine country" and the area's rich am-icultural heritage. The design, architecture and choice of materials should work to enforce this theme of "wine country." This character is evoked not only in Rancho Cucamon~a's history but in other wine re~ions. includin~ Napa and Sonoma Valleys, and those of France and other parts of EuroOe. These areas should be a source of inspiration in design and develooment of Victoria Arbors. The use of vines on building walls and trellises is encouraged. The use of smooth. hand-trowelled-~nish stucco, and stone as building wall material is appropriate. Stone, including cobble. field and quarry. should be included in exterior wall design. alone or in combination with smooth stucco finish. Wrought iron is an appropriate material for use in walls and fencing. c, ates, trim and balustrades. To solidif'/the identity of Victoria Arbors, all residential architecture shall incorporate either or both a porch and trellis. These two architectural elements will become an architectural icon for this village. Trellises will be a part of entry monumentation, street fumiture: and pedestrian ways. Trellises can take many forms including long shaded walkways, building appurtenances. sculptural accents and gazebos. Architectural styles appropriate for residential uses in this village include Monterey. Cratesman, Bungalow and other traditional forms typical of a~rarian and viticulture areas. No barrel tile roofin~ material will be allowed. No Santa Barbara style architecture will be allowed. A Master Plan will be required as part of the first Tentative Map submittal, in compliance with the General Plan and Development Code, which will include more detailed design guidelines and exemplary photographs. The residential portion of the village will have a mix of housing types and will be oriented around an elementary school, an adjacent neighborhood park, with a multi- purpose building shared with the school, an amphitheater and plaza, and a small wetlands park. Victoria Arbors will transition in hierarchy of intensity from the winery and its buffer: to single family residential focussed around the school/park: to multi family residential and mixed commercial/civic/office use: to the regional retail focus: the new down town.

A strip of land, 150 ft. in depth. adjacent to Etiwanda Ave., will be developed with large lots comparable to those existing on Etiwanda Ave. The homes on these lots will face requirements, and desi~m guidelines in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In this way, the integrity of the Etiwanda Specific Plan will be maintained, since Etiwanda Avenue forms the western most visual edge of the Specific Plan area. A ~enerous system of both regional and village-scale trails and walkways with m'eenwavs with a central boulevard/pedestrian spine, will provide easy access to the community, the retail area, and recreation/open-space amenities within the village. The greenways will also provide residents and visitors with pedestrian-scale amenities such as benches, picnic tables and trash receptacles. This trail system will link the village to the adjoininK communiW and a potential shuttle system which will take customers from oarkin~ to "Main Street." and could also provide access from the turnaround near the winery to residential neighborhoods and the park, and to the regional downtown. A central transportation node is also ulanned for the regional downtown to orovide access from within and outside of the Village. VILLAGE ENTRIES The major access points to Victoria Arbors will contain large setbacks and ~enerouslv landscaped entry statements with ties to regional trails (see "Trails and Entry Plan" on followin~ naae). The most dramatic entry will be at the northeast comer of the village where Victoria Park Lane enters the community at Base Line Road ("sl~ecial entry"). Here, the ~enerously landscaped lane will be continued with a thirty-eight foot wide lineal parkway along the west side of Victoria Loop. Within one block, views of the park and wetlands area open to the right as motorists, bicvclists or pedestrians have the option of accessin~ the park and continuing on to the Day Creek Regional Trail or continuing south along Victoria Loop. Other key intersections in the village are: · major community entry at Day Creek Blvd. and Base Line Road · residential entry at Day Creek Blvd. and Church St. 11 jd7 · residential entry at Church Street and Victoria Loop · residential entries along Victoria Loop and Day Creek Blvd. at their collectors · commercial entries alon~ Victoria Loop and Day Creek Blvd. At the new "downtown" entries At these entries, the pedestrian oarkwavs widen to contain village entry signage, resting areas and enhanced landscaping.

The key intersections of Base Line Rd. and Day Creek Blvd., will be consistent with Community Entrance B in the Day Creek Boulevard Scenic/Recreational Corridor Master Plan. HISTORIC WINERY Fundamental to the identity of Victoria Arbors is the historic winery located in the northern portion of the village on Base Line Road. The tradition of viticulture in Cucamonga Valley dates back to the mid-1800s with the introduction of Spanish grapes first ~rown at the San Gabriel Mission. By the turn of the century, there were forty-five ~'t~g Joseph F~l~i W~e~ BuBd~g w~ne~es in ~e valley, ~d the Ell~a Brothers founded the subject win~ fin Victoria Arbors) in 1917.

It is possible in the future that historic homes, machinery and products related to the history of the area and its viticulture may be moved onto the winery site. PUBLIC PARK AND WETLANDS AREA A key amenit-/in the Village of Victoria Arbors is its centrally located neiahborhood park and wetlands park area adiacent to the school site. The seven and a half acre park is 16 designed to serve the entire villaRe d, due to its connection to the regional trail system E>xc' . .. Br all residents of Victoria Arbors and in addition 1o the amph~ variety of recreational facilities includin s, b~ketball couas, ex~cise ' t f ~'o al fac'l 't'~ least ~ five c~s It An added feature will be a restored wetland park, situated as a diagonal spine into the park, potentially containin~ trails, walkways and educational exhibits. The wetlands will contain examples of flora and fauna typical to the region and kept secure by an open, wrought-iron fence. Due to its location along the regional trail network, the park and wetlands area will serve residents from adioinin~ areas as well as from Victoria Arbors. Those traveling north or south along Victoria Loop/Park Lane or east or west through the village will oass directly by the park, and many will be drawn in. The recreational amenities of the park include both active and passive uses and therefore appeal to all ages. DOWNTOWN OPEN SPACE The landscaped boulevard/pedestrian island becomes a Village Green as it leaves the single family residential area and enters the mixed use area of attached residential, retail and civic uses. The Village Green is a wider linear park containin~ recreational uses as well as trails and street furniture. This Green terminates in Downtown at a Town Center. The Town Center is the most urban of the public spaces in the Village, and will be a hardscaped ~athering area for the community and for shoppers visitinl! downtown. 17 In addition, there will be several pocket parks in the downtown area, at intersections and in pedestrian circulation "eddies." These small green spaces will provide rest areas and serve to soften the shoOOin~ environment. TRAIL SYSTEM A key element to the Villa~e of Victoria Arbors is its extensive trail system, oriented both to the re~ion and to the village itself. The entire trail system, described earlier, serves three major purposes: · links Victoria Arbors to surrounding communities, regional trails and proposed commercial uses · surrounds' and buffers the village with linear parkways containing walkways, pedestrian amenities and theme landscaping 18 ~ixed USe: Base Line Road Single Family 4-6/Acre 2-4/Acre Single Family 4-6/Acre Single Family 4-8/Acre Single Fa~E~ly 4-10/Acre ~,~.' .,~ ;i Mixed~se: ;; Senior C ~1' :, 19 ' Single Famil~ 4-10/Acre Single Family 4=6/Acre The Village of Victoria Arbors Illustrative Concept Plan · provides convenient access to the villa~e's Dark, school. wetlands area and winery as well as a direct connection to the new downtown area The Victoria Park Lane Community Trail enters the village at Base Line Road and continues south alon~ Victoria Loop until connecting to the park/school/wetlands site. From here it continues west, meeting the landscaped boulevard/pedestrian spine of the villaRe. Users of the trial can continue west crossing the spine and through a small residential neimhborhood to link up with the Day Creek Blvd. Scenic/Recreational Corridor trail system; or travel south along the spine to the regional downtown mall: or travel noah a short distance to the historic winery. The Day Creek Boulevard Scenic/Recreational Corridor with its regional trail system continues noah of Base Line Road, past the Foothill Freeway connection to the Etiwanda Noah Trail System. It continues south past Foothill Boulevard to Jack Bennv Drive to a trail connecting to the Epicenter Stadium and adult sports park. ' · ... ~..: · .. ~ -.. ..~., ~'~ .,,- j, ,; ? _ ;~':. Birds-Eye view of Roundabout ut end of Pedestrian Island in Village Boulevard Internally, the trail and walkway system provides convenient and safe access to the school and park sites with widened sidewalks provided along feeder streets. Internal street patterns with their many cul-de-sacs provide that children can walk to the school and park on a trail system with minimal street crossings. In addition, at several imnortant 2O intersections, pedestrian walkways are provided through blocks to link to the regional trail system. RESIDENTIAL LAND USE 1N VICTORIA ARBORS There will be a mix of housing types provided in Victoria. This single-family housing is oriented around the school and oark sites and is consistent with the family nature of the village and adjacent residential areas to the west, north and east. Multi family housing will provide a transitional use between the sinv, le family residential and commercial and civic uses. Multi Family residential will be provided west of Day Creek Boulevard, which will be fronted along the Boulevard bv mixed use. This mix of housing types will provide more choices to future residents and is consistent with planned and adjacent uses. The following residential land use densities are planned: · L - low (2-4 dwelling units per acre) · LM - low-medium (4-8 dwellin~t units per acre) · MH - medium-hiV, h (14-24 dwellin~ units per acre) · H - high (24-30 dwelling units per acre) TRANSITION OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Residential density will transition from the more rural area around the winery and vineyards to the north, to smaller and attached homes near the new downtown in the south. Due to the more rural character and a family orientation, low-medium density housing will be the most common use in the north half of the village. The extensive use of cul-de- sacs will provide safe public space for children and necessitate some variation in lot sizes and configuration. A row of large 14,000 square foot lots will front on Etiwanda Avenue to conform to other large lots that exist along this rural street. All homes which back 21 7 onto major arterial and secondary highways will be buffered with a landscaped slope easement and wall. Medium and medium-high residential uses will occur in the residential mixed use area adjacent to the down town. This area will include attached residential, retail, office and civic uses. It will create an exciting, urban livin~ environment that will form a svmbiotic relationship with the downtown. extendinff activities into the evenings. Additional medium-high density and possibly high density senior housing will occur west of Day Creek Boulevard and south of Church Street, behind a strip of mixed use area. This strip of mixed uses may include attached residential and/or retail uses. A Master Plan must be prepared as part of the first deve!0pment plan submittals for medium and medium-high residential uses and mixed retail/office/residential uses. This · N nc r REGIONAL CENTER IS URBAN FOCUS FOR VICTORIA The new downtown will be the commercial focus of Victoria and of the region, extending beyond the City ofRancho Cucamonga to include western San Bernadino County. It is important that this center fulfill its role as the active terminus of the community-wide Main Street concept· An array of department stores~ak retail and civic uses will be complemented with attractive public spaces includin~illage tyreen which culminates in an urban square - the Town Square. This combination of gatherinV./recreating spaces and the trail system which connects the regional center to the community will make this downtown a unique place that will function as the focus of the Villa~,e of Victoria Arbors and the retail heart ofRancho Cucamon~a. 22 The regional center will be surrounded by civic, mixed use and multi-family residential uses which will serve to support the retail uses. Furthermore, the open space corridor - in the form of the village's landscaped boulevard/pedestrian way - will conveniently draw both village residents and visitors from outside Victoria Arbors - into the heart of the downtown. Once there, visitors will enjo a great variety of activities from shopping to eatin~ to strolling to relaxing. The open air mall ,rod M,~i,~ SUeet will provide a lively street scene with both regional and specialty retail and commercial/office uses complemented with restaurants and service commercial. Pedestrian-friendly amenities alon~ the downtown streets will include pocket parks, outdoor restaurants, benches, accented Davin~ and specialized landscapinR. PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND MASS TRANSIT The Village of Victoria Arbors will accommodate several levels of public transportation. A shuttle system could operate within the retail area taking visitors from oarkin~ facilities located in peripheral areas of the commercial center to the Main Street Mall area. is same shuttle could operate along the north/south villaRe pedes 'an way/boulevard, going would serve residents of Victoria Arbors as well as provide a direct physical connection of the winery to the new downtown. In addition, this regional downtown will contain a central transportaJiaxk.n_9_de--f~. public buses to serve no__t onlv__~e Vil~llage~_but also the COMMUNITY FACILITIES The Victoria Community Plan will provide specific facilities to meet community needs. These facilities will be convenient to village residents and will minimize dependence on facilities outside the community. These facilities include schools, parks, trails and community-serving retail in villaRe commercial centers and the new downtown area. 23 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Parks and open space have been integrated into the community to form the character and identity of each individual village, as well as Victoria as a whole. This will be accomplished by locating park and community facilities at the center of each village, connecting the residential areas to the central facilities via an extensive trail system, and then connecting each village open space through the Victoria Linear Park. Village parks in residential areas will be large enough to accommodate facilities for use by all village residents. Placing parks next to school playgrounds and facilities will also maximize efficient use of community open space. There is a wide variety of open spaces in the Village of Victoria Arbors. In addition to the extensive trails and parkways described earlier~ the village has a 7.5 acre neighborhood park, a 1.5 acre restored wetland park. a demonstration vineyard/buffer area between the restored winery and residential area~ and a prominent. north/south open space corridor 24 that extends from the winepc into the heart of the downtown mall. This ~eenwav consists of an extensively landscaped boulevard with a wide median strip with a trail that extends from the formal turnaround near the winepc to the beginning of the mixed use area near the regional downto~wn is point and continuing south, the corridor becomes a Village Green a cu ear I ndscaped spine with internal pathways and park uses - and terminates in an urban square - the Town Square, located on the downtown Main Street. With this variety of open space and park amenities. the Village of Victoria Arbors provides many recreational opportunities for both residents and visitors. The park, adjacent to the landscaped boulevard, will be easily accessible to nearby residents but is also located alonf., the regional trail system. The adjoining wetlands park is also alon~ the regional trail system from Victoria Park Loop. More urban public space can be found within the do~-,. open a~r Mall with its Town Square and pocket parks located along the main commercial streets. SCHOOLS Schools have bean planned for Victoria to complement and reinforce the open space system. They will be located dose to the village parks in residential neighborhoods, and access by foot or bicycle via the trail system is assured. Joint use of school facilities for broad community needs will be encouraged to make the schools a hub of activity for village activities. These goals are thoroughly implemented in Victoria Arbors. The ten-acre elementary school is adjacent to the park and accessible by car. bus, shuttle, bicycle or on foot. The school is just off the regional trail system which enters the village from the north at Victoria Park Loop and is directly adioinin~ the trail which runs east from the boulevard/open space corridor. The school's central location within the village and its 25 inclusion in a central open space with a park and restored wetlands site give it a prominent and efficient location with unique recreational and educational opportunities. CHURCHES Churches can be accommodated in the Village of Victoria Arbors in the followinS ways: a. Shared facilities at local schools. Though this is not a suitable permanent solution, it can serve temporary needs. b. The regional retail area and mixed use areas of the plan, are permissible locations for churches. They can share use of commercial parking during off-hours. o. Condominium churches permit joint use church complexes and a reduced land cost for church groups. Such innovative use and plans are encouraged within the villages. CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES Within the Villages of the Victoria Community Plan, many elements have been structured to provide for the conservation of resources. This will be accomplished in the following ways. USE WATER FOR PLANT MATERIALS WHERE THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS MOST Water will be conserved wherever possible by using low maintenance or drought tolerant plant material. Conserving water in naturalized areas will allow the use of water where it will be most needed for more intense community use, such as in parks and water features. The parks and schools, therefore, will have some extensive lawn areas which require require regular watering. 26 EXTENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM ENCOURAGES USE OF BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS Trail systems work best where they connect the community residents to the places they use most. The trial system in Victoria i~ extensive and will provide the connections that provide the best options for residents and visitors. Direct access is provided to local parks and schools, to village commemial centers, to regional trails and open space and to other villages. On a regional level, connections will be made to the community's major commercial centers, to the developing industrial center and to neighboring Terra Vista. The Village of Victoria Arbors provides pedestrians and bicyclists an array of choices that do not necessitate use of a car. In addition to the regional trail system that enters the village from the north at Victoria Park ,,L ~L~v.v. pedestrians and bicvclists can travel along the median strip of the landscaped boulevard as they move south towards the downtown commercial area. Once arriving at the mixed use area~ the pedestrian pathways continue throuv..h the Villa~:e Green and terminate at the downtown mall area in a Town Square. The extensive system of inter-village trails and walkways also provide access to the park. school and wetlands oark. A shuttle system is possible for inter-villaffe travel. ffoinc, from the turnaround near the winerv~ accessin~ the school and park. and ending within the downtown regional mall area. The shuttle system would be coordinated with a parkinff facility in the new downtown so that people can leave their vehicles and use the village transit. This interconnected trail system combined with a shuttle will reduce automobile traffic and improve air quality. 27 Page 105, 111 - Statistical Summary - Revised to reflect current submittal SUMMARY OF LAND USE ACREAGE The following acreage figures represent the proportions devoted to each land use as shown on the Land Use Plan.

As described in the plan, each residential land use designation will contain a variety of housing types at various densities that are compatible with that land use designation. Generally, the types of housing products allowed within a given land use area will be in a specific density range. These density ranges are summarized in the following chart: RESIDENTIAL DENSITY RANGES Low Density Single Family attached and detached homes on large lots, or clustered to maximize the effective use of open space 24 Dwelling units per Adjusted Gross Acre Medium Density Single family attached and detached homes on lots varying from 3,000 SF to 7,200 SF 4-8 du/A Medium Density Attached single family homes, including duplexes, fourplex/condominiums, townhomes (front and rear loaded) and condominiums. Detached homes may be possible at the lower end of the density range. 8-14 du/A Hieh Density Multifamily homes; typically a 3 story building with covered and uncovered parking 24-30 du/A 29 THE OPTIMUM YIELD CONCEPT Although a density range is a useful tool in determining the upper and lower quantity of residential units proposed for any land use, it is misleading to use as the precise guide in determining the actual number of dwelling units within any specific village or land use category when both the City and its developers must commit a certain level of expenditures to implement the plan. Therefore, the method of dealing with density in this plan is based upon a realistic understanding of units which are necessary to provide the amenities described, the infrastructure needed, and the demands of the housing market. This number of units. Or optimum yield, has been established for each village as an optimum number of units for that area based on the residential and community uses within that village. This planning approach provides density control, allows future flexibility, and establishes a realistic allowance for planning infrastructure. The key is to provide enough units of housing to assure housing needs can be met from local employment growth at prices locally employed workers can afford. A REALISTIC APPROACH TO RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Several reasons point to the optimum yield approach: First, simply using the density range as a multiplier for each respective land use acreage produces a numerical range of dwelling units that is artificially skewed on both high and low ends. The high end numbers of dwelling units assumes that every land use category could be developed at the maximum density allowable. This does not reflect the intention of the developer nor market needs which must be met over a long period of time. Initially, lower density will be needed most, but as the area matures, much of the housing required to meet the City's needs will have to be met by attached housing. The low number of dwelling units is also unrealistic in that it would force prices too high, and thereby not allow the developer to meet the need for housing generated by the expanding local employment base. The optimum yield approach proposes an optimum number of units based on a sound understanding of what could reasonably be built on this site, retaining benefits both for 30 the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the developers over a long period of time. This assumes a balance between short and long term needs for housing: In the short term, a majority of detached houses; in the long term, a majority of attached ownership houses. The optimum yield allows for adequate infrastructure planning and commitments to open space and recreational facilities. Other amenities and necessities can be properly sized and space allocated. Second, there are actual housing types that yield specific residential densities within the density range of each land use category which are most realistic. For example, category "LM", single family residential, includes products that yield from 4.5 du/acre to 6.8 du/acre. In detennining the expected yield of dwelling units, these different products have been allocated throughout the "LM", category land use areas to provide a mix which represents today's best understanding of present and future market demand, and to provide the mixture of housing opportunities specified in the Rancho Cucamonga Proposed Geneva] Plan. HOW THE OPTIMUM YIELD METHOD WORKS Using the system outlined above, a specific number of dwelling units has been established for each of the Villages and for the total community. Those numbers are shown on the Density Distribution Plan. Developing the indicated number of units for each Village makes possible the amount of open space and other amenities indicated by the Land Use Plan and in the Land Use Acreage Summary. 31 29'7 OPTIMUM YIELD BY LAND USE The optimum yield according to each land use is listed in the following chart: Land Use/Density Range Acres Optimal Yield "L" Low Density 2-4 du/A 297 832 Units "LM" Low Medium Density 4-8 du/A 616 3,511 Units "M" Medium Density 8-14 du/A 199 2,184 Units "MH" Medium High Density -14-24 du/a 126 2,457 Units "tt" High Density 24-30 du/A 32 920 Units TOTALS 1,270 9,909 Units OPTIMUM YIELD AS A PLANNING TOOL The optimum yield can be used as a planning tool by the City and the developers to determine the need and size of infrastructure, schools, community facilities, and public utilities. It can be used as the basis for projecting future population. Using an optimum yield of 8,047 dwelling units allocated in the manner described in this plan, the future population of Victoria can be summarized as follows: 32 Residential Persons Per Dwelling Population CateEorv HousehoM Units Projections "L" Low Density 3.4 832 2,829 "LM" Low Medium Density 3.4 3,511 11,937 "M" Medium Density 1.5 2,189 3,284 "MH" Medium High Density 1.5 2,457 3,686 "H" High Density 1.5 920 1,380 TOTALS 9,909 23,116 Page 151 - Text- Entry Hierarchy ENTRY HIERARCHY The Entry Hierarchy Plan (To be Revised) on the following pages shows the locations where a special landscape treatment should mark an entry into Victoria.

Brad Buller, City Planner, gave an overview of the purpose of the workshop. Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. John Mordsette, American Beauty Development Co., explained to the Commission the different levels of entitlereents that they hoped to achieve. He then turned it over to Bob Lacoss for a design presentation. Bob Lacoss, PDS West, described the village concept to the Commission. Chairman McNiel opened the meeting for discussion. Commissioner Tolstoy asked how the grades are taken up by the project. He also asked whether the wetland could be eliminated. Mr. Morrisette responded that the grading issue was still not resolved and will be addressed with the submission of the Tentative Maps. He also noted that the Corps of Engineer may consider removal if it could be demonstrated that avoidance of removing the wetland was found to be impractical. Commissioner Tolstoy thought the wetland might not be good for the neighborhood. He also felt there should be a trail along Church Street. Mr. Buller stated that one aspect of the workshop was to look at the imagery of product types prepared by the applicant and provide feedback. He said another aspect was to look at the central spine street and the winery buffer and maintenance issues of the open space elements as proposed. Joey Filippi, Filippi Winery, indicated that he agreed with the winery buffering shown on the concept and how it connects with the central spine street, Commissioner Macias responded that the maintenance of the vineyards within the winery buffedng area must be practical for the City. He suggested that the City, the applicant, and Filippi Winery work together to balance the need for buffering and the maintenance cost. Commissioner Mannerino believed that vineyards around the winery were appropriate but was against having vineyards along the paseos of the central spine street. Commissioner Tolstoy agreed that vineyards should not be within the paseos of the central spine street and that the City should not have to maintain vineyards in any park setting. Chairman McNiel agreed. Mr. Buller then requested discussion on residential uses. Commissioner Mannedno stated that he would like to see the central spine street straight. He indicated that the proposed Mixed Use must include a definition of the uses allowed. He said he wou Id like to see that the paseo along the central spine street tell the winery stodes. He thought that Church Street should connect to Etiwanda Avenue. Commissioner Stewart agreed with Commissioner Mannerino regarding the opportunity to tell the historyofwinemakingalongthecentralspinestreet. Shestatedthatthepicturasandtheimagedes of the housing products must be real in terms of the level of architectural elements and details provided to the products. She stressed the need for sufficient parking to be provided for people to visit the paseos along the spine street. Commissioner Macias expressed the need for quality of amenities within the village and the need to preserve the winery. He agreed with the comments made by Commissioners Mannedno and Stewad. Chairman McNiel expressed his concams with small lots (5 to 6,000 square feet) and the garage- scape that typically come with that size of lots. He suggested that the residential village should look at innovative lot design such as wide and shallow lots. He reminded the applicant that the village must have an up-scale design to it. The Consensus of the Commission was to review additional information on lots and housing products at the October 25 meeting.

John Morrisette, Amedcan Beauty Development Co., stated that they had taken the Commission's comments to heart and increased the width of the smallest lots from 50 to 53 feet. He then turned it over to Bob Lacoss for design presentation. Bob Lacoss, PDS West, described the seven altematives of plotting houses, an example of a residential block with the alternative house plotting, and a typical street-scene with the house design. Mr. Buller clarified to the Commission that the applicant was looking for a consensus on supporting a Mixed Use zoning, and the concept of the residential lot pattern as shown in the illustrative concept plan. He stated that the next level of review by the Commission was the Master Plan, which would have details of the subdivision and the housing products design. Mr. Morrisette clarified to the Commission that they would be coming back with a Development Agreement and would like to have a flexibility of the density range of 5 to 10 units per acre for the planning area at the northeast corner of Future Victoria Loop Road and Church Street. Chairman McNiel opened the meeting for discussion. Commissioner Mannedno liked the concepts of the seven house plotting altematives. He raised a concem regarding shared garage walls. Commissioner Macias agreed that he too liked the concept of the house plotting but said he would be looking for the details to be reviewed at the Master Plan level. He supported the Mixed Use zone. Chairman McNiel liked the concept as well and the mix of 5,300 square foot lots with the larger ones. He expressed concerns regarding increasing the density range to 5 to 10 units per acre. Mr. Buller summarized the conceptual support from the Commissioners present for the altematives presented. He noted that the concepts presented would next be seen in greater detail with the Master Plan and/or the Development Agreement for the project.

Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report and indicated that a revised land use exhibit hadbeenplacedinfrontoftheCommissioners. Shealsosuggesteddeletionofthespecifiedstreet width of 133 to 180 feet in the proposed Victoda Community Plan Amendment. Commissioner Tolstoy noted that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) shows traffic to be mitigated to below the level of significance but improvements are not shown as being constructed until 2015. He asked if there will be traffic problems until 2015. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that public infrastructure will be installed in phases when needed as phases are built. Commissioner Tolstoy asked how the improvements will be handled at existing intersections. Mr. James responded that those streets had been designed to standards with a regional mall planned. Commissioner Macias observed that under Mitigation Impact 4.2.1 regarding traffic impacts, it states that some intersections are forecast to exceed the minimum LOS standards under 2015 background plus project conditions. He questioned if the project should only mitigate those impacts that it directly produces, thus leaving the City or SANBAG to be responsible for cumulative impacts given background. Mr. James stated that the City collects a transportation fee that would take care of such construction. Commissioner Macias observed that the answer to Commissioner Tolstoy's question is that the developer is responsible for those impacts that the project creates and anything that goes beyond that is cumulative, which is spaced over time and paid for collectively by fees. Commissioner Tolstoy questioned if the fees will be sufficient to allow the backbone improvements to be constructed. He felt the City currently has a lot of intersections that are heavily impacted even though they have no connection with the freeway construction. Ms. Fong stated that when the EIR was prepared, the consultant had to consider cumulative impacts so they included many projects within the area of the project. She said the developer will pay their fair share in contributing to the impacts. Mr. Buller stated that Commissioner Macias' comments were accurate in stating what the developer is responsible for. He said the City is also aggressive in securing additional funds to improve the streets so it does not just rely on the transportation fees paid by developers. Commissioner Mannerino thought their were discussions regarding a development agreement, which would discuss fees among other things. Ms. Fong confirmed that a development agreement will be forthcoming which will discuss infrastructure improvements and the phasing of those improvements. Planning Commission Minutes -7- November 8, 2000 Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. John Morrisette, American Beauty Development Company, 16830 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 401, Encino, stated he too had some questions regarding the mitigations. He suggested that they spend time with staff to figure out the fees they will pay before the matter goes to City Council. He stated there had been discussions over a year ago regarding the poor quality of the coastal sage scrub on site. He indicated it is mixed in with the grapevines and that previously no mitigation was required. Ms. Fong recalled that the last time there was a public hearing on the EIR, staff and the Commission determined that the coastal sage scrub was such poor quality that mitigation was not warranted. John Lyons, 11984 Dorsett Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he lives west of the property. He said he was opposed to the plan because when the Victoda plan was approved, high density was permitted because there was going to be a way to pay for the City south of Base Line Avenue. He stated this land is located in the area that was supposed to pay for the City and he felt the land needs to be Commercial in order to pay. He thought the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and the I-15 Freeway needs to be all Commercial with no residential. He observed that there are no car or motor homes dealerships in Rancho Cucamonga. He opposed residential uses in the area. He felt the future of the City depends upon having Commercial in the area. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Mannedno thanked staff and the applicant for a long period of negotiations to arrive at what appears to be a good plan. Commissioner Stewart concurred with Commissioner Mannedno. She appreciated the fact that the developer and landowner worked with the General Plan updates and saw the vision of the City. Commissioner Tolstoy agreed; however he expressed concerns with having some of the area designated as Mixed Use because in past times that has led to patchwork development in such areas. Chairman McNiel felt the Commission needs to be sure projects are what the Commission determines to be appropriate mixed use. He agreed it had been a long and arduous process and the applicants had come a long way. He commented that sometimes some of the things that are envisioned for the City do not happen. He thought a good example was the rail service intentions in the heavy industrial area. He felt the likelihood of the area developing as all rail-served is very slim. He stated the General Plan is a living document and things change. He commented that even though this plan may not be the best and most apprepdate use in the long term under the best possible scenario, it would be a compliment to the community. Motion: Moved by Macias, seconded by Tolstoy, to recommend adoption of the Statement of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations for General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01, and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01 and recommend approval of General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment, Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01, and Victoria Community Plan Amendment 00-04 with modification to eliminate the requirement to mitigate for the loss of sage scrub.

Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report and indicated that a revised land use exhibit had been placed in front of the Commissioners. She also suggested deletion of the specified street width of 133 to 180 feet in the proposed Victoria Community Plan Amendment. Commissioner Tolstoy noted that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) shows traffic to be mitigated to below the level of significance but improvements are not shown as being constructed until 2015. He asked if there will be traffic problems until 2015. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, replied that public infrastructure will be installed in phases when needed as phases are built. Commissioner Tolstoy asked how the improvements will be handled at existing intersections. Mr. James responded that those streets had been designed to standards with a regional mall planned. Commissioner Macias observed that under Mitigation Impact 4.2.1 regarding traffic impacts, it states that some intersections are forecast to exceed the minimum LOS standards under 2015 background plus project conditions. He questioned if the project should only mitigate those impacts that it directly produces, thus leaving the City or SANBAG to be responsible for cumulative impacts given background. Mr. James stated that the City collects a transportation fee that would take care of such construction. Commissioner Macias observed that the answer to Commissioner Tolstoy's question is that the developer is responsible for those impacts that the project creates and anything that goes beyond that is cumulative, which is spaced over time and paid for collectively by fees. Commissioner Tolstoy questioned if the fees will be sufficient to allow the backbone improvements to be constructed. He felt the City currently has a lot of intersections that are heavily impacted even though they have no connection with the freeway construction. Ms. Fong stated that when the El R was prepared, the consultant had to consider cumulative impacts so they included many projects within the area of the project. She said the developer will pay their fair share in contributing to the impacts. Mr. Buller stated that Commissioner Macias' comments were accurate in stating what the developer is responsible for. He said the City is also aggressive in securing additional funds to improve the streets so it does not just rely on the transportation fees paid by developers. Commissioner Mannerino thought their were discussions regarding a development agreement, which would discuss fees among other things. Ms. Fong confirmed that a development agreement will be forthcoming which will discuss infrastructure improvements and the phasing of those improvements. Planning Commission Minutes -7- November 8, 2000 Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. John Morrisette, American Beauty Development Company, 16830 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 401, Encino, stated he too had some questions regarding the mitigations. He suggested that they spend time with staff to figure out the fees they will pay before the matter goes to City Council. He stated there had been discussions over a year ago regarding the poor quality of the coastal sage scrub on site. He indicated it is mixed in with the grapevines and that previously no mitigation was required. Ms. Fong recalled that the last time there was a public hearing on the EIR, staff and the Commission determined that the coastal sage scrub was such poor quality that mitigation was not warranted. John Lyons, 11984 Dorsett Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he lives west of the property. He said he was opposed to the plan because when the Victoria plan was approved, high density was permitted because there was going to be a way to pay for the City south of Base Line Avenue. He stated this land is located in the area that was supposed to pay for the City and he felt the land needs to be Commercial in order to pay. He thought the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and the I-15 Freeway needs to be all Commercial with no residential. He observed that there are no car or motor homes dealerships in Rancho Cucamonga. He opposed residential uses in the area. He felt the future of the City depends upon having Commercial in the area. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Mannerino thanked staff and the applicant for a long period of negotiations to arrive at what appears to be a good plan. Commissioner Stewart concurred with Commissioner Mannerino. She appreciated the fact that the developer and landowner worked with the General Plan updates and saw the vision of the City. Commissioner Tolstoy agreed; however he expressed concerns with having some of the area designated as Mixed Use because in past times that has led to patchwork development in such areas. Chairman McNiel felt the Commission needs to be sure projects are what the Commission determines to be appropriate mixed use. He agreed it had been a long and arduous process and the applicants had come a long way. He commented that sometimes some of the things that are envisioned for the City do not happen. He thought a good example was the rail service intentions in the heavy industrial area. He felt the likelihood of the area developing as all rail-served is very slim. He stated the General Plan is a living document and things change. He commented that even though this plan may not be the best and most appropriate use in the long term under the best possible scenario, it would be a compliment to the community. Motion: Moved by Macias, seconded by Tolstoy, to recommend adoption of the Statement of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations for General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment 98-01, and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01 and recommend approval of General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Community Plan Amendment, Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-01, and Victoria Community Plan Amendment 00-04 with modification to eliminate the requirement to mitigate for the loss of sage scrub.

TH CITY OF 0 CUCAMONGA Staff Report DATE: December 20, 2000 TO: Mayor and Member of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP City Manager FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Mike Smith, Planning Technician SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 00-03 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend the Wireless Ordinance, Chapter 17.26 of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code, to allow the development of major wireless communication facilities within 300 feet of a residential structure or residential district. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of Development Code Amendment 00-03 by adoption of attached Ordinance. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The Development Code currently limits the siting of major wireless communication facilities to areas at least 500 feet from residential structures, residential districts, or other major wireless facilities. The purpose of this requirement is to limit the negative visual impact such a facility would have on the surrounding neighborhoods. This restriction can potentially conflict with the needs of a wireless communication provider. Clear, uninterrupted wireless coverage can be affected by various factors including topography, the presence of tall structures, and the distance between facilities. Therefore, most wireless companies will locate and construct their facilities according to the need to overcome these limitations. Because of the existing 500-foot minimum distance requirement, many areas of the City are "off-limits" to facility siting. Thus, locations where cellular services would be needed most, such as major streets, commercial areas, and the new Foothill Freeway, would have limited coverage. Most wireless communication providers can now disguise their facilities. Generally, they are willing to work with staff in designing facilities that blend into their surroundings to minimize their visual presence. Staff believes that reducing the distance requirement from 500 feet to 300 feet will mutually benefit the wireless companies and the City. The locations where a major facility may be located will increase to include "pockets" where their presence will have limited visual impact. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DCA 00-03 - WIRELESS ORDINANCE December 20, 2000 Page 2 Furthermore, all major wireless facilities will continue to be subject to the Conditional Use Permit process and review by the Planning Commission. Attached are the Planning Commission Staff Report, Minutes, and Resolution 00-117 for City Council consideration. Respectfully submitted, City Planner BB:MS\jc Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Planning Commission Staff Report dated November 8, 2000 Exhibit "B" - Planning Commission Minutes dated November 8, 2000 Exhibit "C" - Planning Commission Resolution 00-117 Ordinance THE CITY OF ~ANCHO CUCAI, IONCA DATE: November 8, 2000 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Dan Coleman, Pdndpal Planner BY: Mike Smith, Planning Technician SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 00-03 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend the Wireless Ordinance, Chapter 17.26 of the Rancho Cucemonga Development Code, to allow the development of major wireless communication facilities within 300 feet of a residential structure or residential district. BACKGROUND: The Rancho Cucamonga Development Code defines a wireless communication facility as a facility that is used for the reception and transmission of cellular personal phone services and/or data radio communications. Typically, these facilities consist of a pole, antenna array, and base transceiver equipment. The Development Code separates wireless communication facilities into two types: major and minor. These two types of facilities are defined in Section 17.26.020 (see Exhibit "A"). The pdmary element that differentiates a major facility from a minor fadlity is the overell height of the pole. Poles that exceed the maximum height requirement of the surrounding zone are classified as major facilities. In general, minor facilities may be located in all zones, including residential zones, provided they meet the development criteda set forth in Section 17.26.030 through 17.26.050 (Exhibit "A"). However, major wireless facilities are limited to sites that are at least 500 feet from a residential structure, residential district, or other major wireless facility. The purpose of this requirement is to limit the negative visual impact such a facility would have on the surrounding neighborhoods. ANALYSIS: Clear, uninterrupted w{reless communication service is dependent on adequate coverage. Various factors, including topography, the presence of fall structures, and the distance between facilities, can affect the quality and the strength of the communication signal. Therefore, most wireless companies will locate and construct their facilities according to the need to overcome these limitations. ITEM B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 00-03 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA November 8, 2000 Page 2 Because of the 500-foot minimum distance requirement, most of the City west of Haven Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard, and the majodty of the Etiwanda areas, would be "off-limits" to facility siting (see Exhibit "B"). Thus, locations where cellular services would be needed most, such as major streets, commercial areas, and the new Foothill Freeway (SR-30), would have limited coverage. Fadlities that do not exceed the height requirement of the surrounding zone may be located within 500 feet of residences. However, the number of these shorter, minor communication facilities would need to be greater to achieve the same level of coverage as a taller, major communication facility. Furthermore, the aesthetic impact of these minor fadlities on the surrounding neighborhoods would increase. Most wireless communication providers are able to disguise their facilities in a manner that is unobtrusive. Generally, these providera are willing to work with staff in designing facilities that blend into their surroundings to minimize their visual presence. Designs that mimic trees work especially well when other living trees are in the vicinity. Staff believes that reducing the distance requirament from 500 feet to 300 feet will mutually benefit the wireless companies and the City. The locations where a major facility may be located will increase to include "pockets" where their presence will have limited visual impact (Exhibit "C"). The proposed change is indicated on the attached excerpt, Section 17.26.030(A)(5) of the Development Code (Exhibit "D"). This amendment will continue to protect the interest of the City's residents while allowing the wireless communication companies to provide adequate service. All major wireless facilities will continue to be subject to the Conditional Use Permit process and review by the Planning Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The amendment is exempt from the requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3). RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 00-03 to the City Council.
