ABSTRACT: The purpose of this hearing is to receive input from the
entire Planning Commission relative to major unresolved design issues
discussed at the May 7, 1992 Design Review Committee meeting. The
Commissioners should determine if these major design issues are
significant because a substantial redesign of the project would be
required. The direction of the Commission this evening will aid staff
and the developer in preparing for issues to be discussed at future
Design Review Committee meetings.

C. Site Characteristics: This site has been reserved for a
freestanding pad within the Vineyards Marketplace shopping
center- The pad has been graded and landscaped with drought
tolerant groundcover mix. All off-site improvements were completed
with development of the balance of the shopping center.
D. Parking Calculations:
Number of Number of
Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces

Fast food restaurant 1,989 1/75 27 27
Outdoor eating area 375 1/75 __5 __5
Total 2,364 32 32*
* The approved master plan included 65 "extra" common parking
spaces to accommodate tenants requiring a parking ratio greater
than the base ratio of one parking space per 250 square feet of
gross floor area- This use, combined with more parking
intensive tenants, currently in the center, account for
approximately 12 of these 65 "extra" stalls-
BACKGROUND: On November 29, 1989, the Planning Commission approved the
conceptual master plan for the Vineyards Marketplace shopping center,
which identified this pad as a sit down restaurant- According to the
developer, a fast food pad was not shown due to the varying requirements
for building size, unloading facilities, etc- of different fast food
restaurant chains. Therefore, a condition of approval was included in
the Resolution of Approval requiring a separate Conditional Use
Permit/Development Review application be processed for this freestanding
pad. The primary purpose of this condition was to ensure that the
building's tenant would enhance "usability" of the contiguous pedestrian
plaza; the Commission felt that restaurant uses providing seating in the
pedestrian plaza was ideal.
Since that time, the Commission granted a modification to the shopping
center master plan that allowed the pad immediately east of the
pedestrian plaza to be developed as a bank. During these proceedings,
the Commission reiterated their concerns that the adjacent buildings use
and orientation should relate strongly to the plaza, as indicated on the
approved Master Plan- Given that the bank use does not relate strongly
and the bank building is not oriented toward the plaza, the importance
of strengthening this relationship is, in staff's opinion, especially
important in considering this application-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-40 - FANCHER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
June 10, 1992
Page 3
Prior to submittal of a formal application, staff informed the applicant
that the proposed design was inconsistent with the approved master Plan
for the shopping center because the building was pulled away from the
pedestrian plaza- Further, staff indicated that the design was
inconsistent with the Planning Commission's adopted policies for
drive-thru businesses per Resolution No. 88-96. In staff's opinion, the
proposed si~e plan orientation, which places parking and drive-thru
access between the plaza and the entrance to the building, is contrary
to the General Plan policy that "Neighborhood Commercial Centers should
be designed as human-scale, pedestrian-oriented commercial areas-"
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to develop a 1,989 square foot
fast food drive-thru restaurant on one of the vacant building pads
within the Vineyards Marketplace shopping center. In addition to
the restaurant, the applicant is proposing to expand the corner
pedestrian plaza to the north and provide tables in an attempt to
be consistent with the intent of encouraging patrons of the
facility to utilize the plaza. Seven parking spaces are proposed
immediately south of the building for restaurant patrons. Access
to the site is available via Milliken Avenue, Kenyon Way and
Woodruff Place. The drive aisle immediately east of the building
is proposed to become one-way only to allow a safe and efficient
flow of vehicles and adequate stacking for drive-thru traffic, per
the recommendations of the on-site traffic study proposed for the
site- Additional berming and landscaping is proposed in the
Milliken Avenue streetscape setback area to screen the drive-thru
lane from view of Milliken Avenue.
B. Design Review Committee: On May 7, 1992, the Committee (McNiel,
Kroutil) reviewed the project and recommended that it be forwarded
to the full Planning Commission with the following recommendations:
1. The building should be relocated contiguous to the pedestrian
plaza to encourage use of the plaza. The parking area
proposed between the plaza and the building should be removed
or relocated so it will not conflict with the pedestrian
circulation, per the conceptually approved master plan for the
Vineyards Marketplace shopping center.
2- The overall circulation pattern for the pad should be
significantly revised to allow for proper access to, and
screening of, the drive-thru lane. In addition, a designated
area for unloading large trucks and additional enriched raised
paving connections from the building to the pedestrian plaza
should be provided-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-40 - FANCHER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
June 10, 1992
Page 4
3- The proposed "corporate" architectural s~heme should be
significantly revised to better integrate with other buildings
within the center (examples: modify mansard roof and parapet,
entry elements).
Other secondary and policy design issues were not discussed due to
the significance of the major unresolved design issues. See the
attached copy of the Design Review Committee Staff Report and
Action Comments (Exhibit "G").
Since the Design Review Committee meeting, the architectural
elevations and site plan have been revised to address committee
concerns as follows:
1. The building elevations have been significantly revised to
blend in with other buildings within the Vineyards Marketplace
Shopping Center through the use of similar tower elements,
roof pitches, materials, and detailing.
2. Additional enriched paving is proposed in the parking area
between the building and the pedestrian plaza.
However, it should be noted that the revised plans do not indicate
a relocation of the building contiguous to the pedestrian plaza nor
the parking area removed, which was considered to be the primary
design concern with the project-
C. Technical Review Committee: On May 6, 1992, the Committee reviewed
the project and determined that with the recommended standard
conditions of approval, the project is consistent with all
applicable standards and ordinances. The Grading Committee
conceptually approved the project at its meeting on May 5, 1992.
D. Environmental Assessment: Upon review of the Environmental
Checklist for the Vineyards Marketplace shopping center, the
checklist did include potential environmental impacts associated
with this and all freestanding pads within the project- No
significant adverse environmental impacts were found related to
this freestanding pad at the time the original study was
completed- However, this pad was analyzed as a sit down
restaurant- Given the potential change of use, staff required a
revised Environmental Assessment for this site, which yielded no
additional significant environmental impacts. Therefore, if the
Commission concurs, than adoption of a Negative Declaration would
be appropriate.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a p~blic hearing in
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been
posted, and notices have been sent to all property owners within
300 feet of the subject site-

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive
all public testimony relative to the project. If, in 'the opinion of the
Planning Commission, the project can be redesigned to address any
unresolved design issues, the Planning Commission should refer this item
back to the Design Review Committee. If the Commission feels the
project cannot be designed to address the major design issues, then
staff should be directed to prepare a Resolution denying Conditional Use
Permit 91-40 for adoption at the next meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-40 - TACO BELL
CORPORATION - The proposed development of a fast food drive-thru
restaurant totaling 1,989 square feet on 0.58 acres of land in the
Village Commercial District of the Victoria Planned Community, located
at the southeast corner of. Highland and Milliken Avenues - APN: .229-
011-22. Related File: Conditional Use Permit 89-08 (Vineyards
Marketplace Shopping Center)-
Abstract:
This is the third freestanding retail pad to be processed within the
Vineyards Marketplace Shopping Center; the Mobil Service Station is
completed and the Wells Fargo Bank is now under construction. When the
Planning Commission approved this Shopping Center (including the Master
Plan for all freestanding pads and shops buildings) a Condition of
Approval was placed requiring this pad to be processed under a separate
application.
In previous meetings ( most recently when the Wells Fargo Bank pad
location was switched with Shop Building 11), the Cor~ission strongly
urged the developer to select a tenant for Building 9 that would
increase the "usability" of the contiguous plaza. The attached Master
Plan (Exhibit "A") was approved by the Commission with Buildings 9 and
10 adjacent to the pedestrian plaza to indicate the importance of the
relationship between these buildings and the plaza.
Staff Co-~--nts:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Ma~or Issues:
The following broad design issues are intended to be the focus of
Committee discussion regarding this project:
Site Plan:
1. As previously noted, this pad was approved in concept contiguous to
the pedestrian plaza to promote the use of the plaza. The proposed
plan, despite the proposed pedestrian connection to the building,
will require pedestrians to cross the drive-thru lane or a parking
lot to reach the plaza · This modification to the relationship
between Building 9 and the plaza is inconsistent with the goals
established by the Planning Commission for encouraging pedestrian
use of this neighborhood center. Therefore, the building should be
relocated contiguous to the plaza to encourage its use and the
parking area should be removed or relocated as to not conflict with
pedestrian circulation.

2. As currently proposed, the drive-thru lane is oriented to allow the
viewing of vehicles from Milliken Avenue. To mitigate this
concern, one or a combination of the following methods should be
utilized to screen the drive-thru area from view of Milliken
Avenue:
a) Re-orient the building and the drive-thru lane so the
drive-thru area is screened through building orientation
(refer to Comment No. 1 for the suggested building location).
b) Provide dense landscaping, berming, and decorative
retaining/screen walls in combination with lowering the
building pad (similar to the Mobil Service Station to the
north).
Architecture:
1. Overall, the proposed architectural theme is consistent with the
previously approved Mediterranean style of the entire shopping
center- Given the much smaller scale of the fast food restaurant
building, many of the architectural features provided on the
primary buildings within the center may not be in proportion with
'the small size of this building- However, all elevations of the
building should be upgraded to be consistent with the level and
type of detail utilized on other buildings throughout the center.
Please refer to the attached elevations (Exhibit "B") for examples
of the architectural elements and details used in the center.
2. A different architectural solution should be used for the building
entrances that more closely resembles the tower elements utilized
throughout the center-
Secondary Issues:
Once all of the major issues have been addressed and time permitting,
the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Architecturally integrated low walls should be provided in place of
the proposed metal handrails in all situations-
2. Additional landscaping (including trees) around the building
perimeter should be provided.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
CUP 91-40 - TAC0 BELL CORPORATION
MAY 7, 1992

3. The flat stucco walls that protrude at corners should be modified
to provide a more interesting design.
4. The mansard roof/parapet design should be considered by the
Committee. This treatment is not utilized currently in this
shopping center; all roofs have either a continuous parapet or a
mansard tile roof where tile is completed to the roof line.
Policy Issues:
The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and
should be incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. The following items are inconsistencies with the City's Interim
Design Goals and Policies for drive-thru facilities. These issues
should be considered by the Committee as they relate to this
specific application:
a) The minimum building size shall be 2,500 square feet unless
modified by the Committee;
b) The primary building entry should be oriented toward primary
streets;
c) Separate pay and pick-up windows should be provided.
Design Review Conm~ittee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Otto Kroutil
Staff Planner: Steve Hayes
The Committee (McNiel, Kroutil) recommended that the project be
forwarded to the full Planning Commission with the following
recommendations:
1. The Committee could not support the proposed site plan for the
following reasons:
a) The overall circulation pattern for the site should be
significantly revised to allow for proper access to and
screening of the drive-thru lane, a designated area for
unloading large trucks and additional enriched raised paving
connections from the building to the pedestrian plaza.

b) The building should be relocated contiguous to the pedestrian
plaza to encourage its use. The parking area proposed between
the plaza and the building should be removed or relocated as
to not conflict with pedestrian circulation, per the
conceptually.approved master plan for the shopping center.
2. The proposed "corporate" architectural scheme should be
significantly revised to better integrate with other buildings
within the center (examples: mansard roof and parapet, entry
elements).
3. Several substantial tables with umbrellas should be provided in the
pedestrian plaza to encourage its use-
Given the significance of the referenced major issues, the Committee did
not discuss any secondary or policy issues other than those previously
referenced in the action comments.

RESOLUTION NO. 88-96
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA ESTABLISHING INTERIM DESIGN GOALS AND
POLICIES FOR BUSINESSES WITH DRIVE-THRU FACILITIES
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has expressed numerous concerns with
businesses that have drive-thru facilities including, but not limited to, fast
food restaurants. The concerns are compatibility of use, circulation, and
visual and aesthetic appearance. Previous projects have not adequately
addressed these concerns, especially in the screening of the drive-thru lane;
and
WHEREAS, there is a need to establish a design goal for businesses
with drive-thru facilities to guide future development; and
WHEREAS, development standards and design guidelines are necessary to
implement the design goal for businesses with drive-thru facilities; and
WHEREAS, such development standards and design guidelines are n~eded
to provide clear direction and guidance to developers and staff alike.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commission does hereby establish interim policies for businesses with drive-
thru facilities as follows:
Section 1: Goal Statement
The intent of the guidelines is to assist the designer in
understanding and complying with the City standards for
bui 1 di ng and site design. The goal i s to provi de hi gh
quality design, compatibility of use, and mitigate
environmental and aesthetic concerns that are created by
this type of land use. The following design standards and
guidelines shall apply to uses with drive-thru facilities
typically including, but not limited to, fast food
restaurants, banks, mini-markets, dairy, photo kiosks, or
auto service.
Section 2: Development Standards
A. Location - Uses with drive-thru facilities shall be
300 feet away from any intersection and from another
drive-thru facility on the same side of the street,
except within a shopping center or Master Plan.
Restaurants with drive-thru facilities shall be a
minimum of 200 feet away from any residential use or
district boundary.
PLANNING COMMISSI RESOLUTION NO.
DRIVE-THRU INTERIP, DESIGN GOALS/POLICIES
May 11, 1988
Page 2
B. Site Area - Uses with drive-thru facilities shall have
a minimum 1 acre net land area. This minimum land
area may be modified when the drive-thru facility is
within a Master Plan or an integrated shopping center
through the Design Review process.
C. The minimum floor area for drive-thru facilities shall
be 2,500 square feet. The minimum floor area for a
drive-thru facility other than a fast food restaurant
may be modified through the Design Review process.
D. The maximum site coverage shall be 40 percent of the
net lot area. The minimum on-site landscaping, which
includes articulated plazas, courtyards, and patios,
shall be 15 percent of the net lot area exclusive of
public right-of-way.
E. Parking and the drive-thru lane shall be setback 45
feet from the ultimate curb face. Greater setbacks
may be required as mentioned in the Specific Plan and
as deemed necessary during the Design Review process.
Section 3: Design Guidelines
A. Site Planning/Building Orientation - Future drive-thru
facilities in a Master Plan or shopping center shall
be identified early in the review process to avoid
retrofitring the uses at a later date. The site
design shall minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and
avoid locating driveways and service areas which
interfere with the flow of the on-site circulation.
Building placement shall be done in a manner to create
new pedestrian spaces and plaza area. Buildings shall
orient the public entrances toward the street.
Building layout should be oriented to screen the
drive-thru lane. Drive-thru lanes shall be screened
through building orientation, the use of a combination
of low screen walls, heavy landscaping, and trellis
work. Separate pay windows and pick-up windows should
be provided.
B. Stacking Distance/Parking - The drtve-thru lane shall
be a sufficient length to accommdate the necessary
stacking of cars. The stacking distance shall be
determined through a parking study as stated in
Section 17.12.040C, Special Requirements of the
Parking Ordinance. Each drive-thru lane shall be
separate from the circulation route necessary for
ingress and egress from the property or access to any
parking spaces within the site.
PLANNING COMMISS/"RESOLUTION NO.

Page 3
C. Parking - The parking requirements for drive-thru
facilities shall be according to Section 17.12 of the
Parking Ordinance. The gross floor area for outdoor
seating shall be subject to the same parking
requirement.
D. Pedestrian Orientation - The Site Plan shall create
opportunities for courtyards and plazas and other
landscape open space to promote safe and convenient
pedestrian movement with continuous landscape pathway
between buildings. The design should discourage a
need for pedestrians to have to cross a drive-thru
wherever possible.
E. Architecture - Standardized "corporate" architectural
styles associated wit a chain is prohibited. Drive-
thru facilities within an integrated shopping center
or Master Plan must have architectural style -
consistent with the theme established in the center.
Architecture must provide compatibility to surrounding '
uses in form, materials, colors, scale, etc. Building
planes shall have variation in depth and angle to
create variety and interest in its basic form and
silhouette of the building. Articulation of building
surface shall be encouraged through the use of
openings and recesses which create texture and shadow
patterns. Building entrances shall be well
articulated and project a formal entrance through
variation of architectural plane, pavement surface,
treatment, and landscape plaza.
F. Signing - All signs shall conform with the provisions
of the Sign Ordinance. Drive-thru facilities within
an integrated shopping center or Master Plan must
comply with the Uniform Sign Program as established in
the center.
Section 4: Performance Standards
A. Special performance standards for restaurants with
drtve-thru facilities: The use shall be operated in a
manner which does not interfere with the normal use of
adjoining properties. If, in the opinion of the City
Planner, the provisions of this paragraph are being
violated, the violations shall be grounds for
reopening Conditional Use Permit hearings and adding
conditions to control the violation. Performance
standards include, but are not limited to the
following considerations, which, where appropriate,
shall be incorporated as conditions of approval in all
use permits as determined by the Planning Conmnission
or City Council:

northeasterly portion. A large number of trees exist on the site
(please see associated report on Tentative Tract 14208).
LAND USE ANALYSIS:
A. Background: Although the properties within this site are currently
zoned Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwellings per acre), the General
Plan designation is Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling per acre).
The proposed District change would make the zoning consistent with
the General Plan- The reasons for the current discrepancy are
noted below:
Initially, this site was both zoned and General Planned
Low-Medium Residential, 4-8 dwellings per acre. In the
early eighties, the City of Upland approved a 12 unit per
acre townhouse project on immediately adjacent
properties- In 1985, the owners of this site requested,
and were granted, a General Plan amendment increasing the
potential density on this site to the Medium category.
Both the Planning Commission and the City Council
supported this change- However, during the hearings on
the General Plan change, it was clearly stated that
because of the constraints associated with the site, the
applicant should not expect approval of a multi-family
project at the maximum density of 14 dwelling units to
the acre. Rather, a density in the 10-12 unit range
would be more appropriate. It was also noted that single
story structures would be necessary along Base Line Road
to provide an acceptable transition to the single family
neighborhood to the south.
As a result, the General Plan change was approved, but
the necessary zoning was deferred pending the submittal
of an acceptable development project-
ANALYSIS: The proposed Development District change is clearly
consistent with the current General Plan designation, and if approved,
would eliminate the discrepancy between the Development Districts Map
and the General Plan-
The associated application for Tentative Tract 14208 appears to address
the concerns expressed in previous hearings- If approved, it will
result in density of 10.7 dwelling units per acre on its portion of the
site- A conceptual master plan submitted by the developer for the
remainder of the site illustrates the potential viability of future
development of the remaining parcels with similar housing types-

F. Background: The application for the development of Tentative Tract
14208, originally proposing 39 condominium units, was first
submitted on June 9, 1989, and it was deemed complete on July 11,
1990. After several design modifications, including reducing the
number of units to 35, the Design Review Com~aittee first recommended
approval of the project at their meeting on December 20, 1.990, but
technical issues had not been resolved at that time- When the City
Council adopted Ordinance No- 465 on November 20, 1991, the project
was redesigned to comply with the new multi-family standards- When
the revised project returned to Design Review it had more open space
and fewer units than when it was previously approved- For this
reason, the Committee recommended approval of the project to the
Planning Commission on March 5, 1992. However, additional technical
issues were not resolved until May 11, 1992, and the project was
then scheduled for review by the Planning Commission.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The proposed tract consists of 32 condominium units which
are located within nine buildings with varying configurations. On-
site amenities include two barbecue areas with arbor structures, a
pool and spa, one tot lot, and several large open lawn areas- The
project complies with the current Development Code standards and
guidelines for development within the Medium Residential Zone.
B. Design Review Committee: ~ne Committee (Vallette, Tolstoy, Coleman)
recommended approval of the project on March 5, 1992 subject to the
following comments being incorporated as conditions of approval:
1. The right elevation of all the two-story buildings should be
revised to eliminate the two pop-outs and instead provide a
decorative window for lighting the staiNell, such as that used
for the single unit building (see Exhibit "G-9").
2. Majestic trees, possibly multi-trunk, with a spreading canopy
should be provided in the circular planters at the entry (see
Exhibit "C-2")-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
TT 14208 - SOUTHWEST DESIGN GROUP
June 10, 1992
Page 3
3. Air conditioning units should be located in the patios in order
to be completely screened from public view.
4. All balcony drainage should be internalized to flow through the
building wall and out at ground level.
C. Technical Review Committee: The Committee last reviewed the project
on March 18, 1992, and did not recommend approval because of two
outstanding issues relating to Fire District requirements for
emergency ingress/egress- These issues have since been resolved.
D. Environmental Assessment: Part 1 of the Initial Study has been
completed by the applicant. While completing Part II of the
Environmental Checklist, staff determined that additional studies
would be required to assess the amount of noise generated by the
traffic on Base Line Road and to determine the health and
significance of trees located on the site.
1. Acoustical Analysis: In order to mitigate the ~oise generated
by Base Line Road to a less than significant level, units 25
.through 32 must have 6-foot sound barriers around the patios and
a 6-foot wall is also required for the open lawn area at the
southeast corner of the site.
2. Tree Removal Permit 91-40: The site has many mature trees, most
of which are in conflict with existing and proposed
improvements- An arborist report was prepared for this site to
determine the significance of the trees and the feasibility of
relocating those trees which are in conflict with the proposed
development. The report made the following recommendations (see
Exhibit "D" ):
a. Tree No. 5: Not subject to protection because it is dead.
Replacement trees not required-
b- Trees No. 20-31: Arborist recommends removal because of
poor health, structure, or species of tree- These trees
should be replaced at a 1 for 1 ratio.
c- Trees No. 1-4, 6-19: Arborist recommends preservation in
place or through transplantation elsewhere on-site-
Plotting should be incorporated into the final landscape
plan. The Design Review Committee recommended that each of
the trees requiring removal be replaced at a 2 to 1 ratio
with a tree species approved by the City Planner- The
Committee also recommended that the Oak tree be preserved by
relocating within the streetscape-
After reviewing the acoustical analysis and arborist report, staff
had determined that any significant effects created by the project
will be reduced to a less than significant level with the
incorporation of the proposed mitigation measures which include the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

construction of sound walls and tree relocation and replacement.
The attached Resolution of Approval contains special conditions
reflecting these recommendations.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Commission to approve this
application, the following facts for findings must be made:
A. That the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan;
B. That the proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the
Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site
is located;
C. That the proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code; and
D. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity-
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland ValleX DailX Bulletin newspaper, the project has been posted,
and notices were sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the
project site, as well as within an expanded notification area.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Tentative Tract 14208, and the related Design Review and Tree Removal
Permit, through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval and
issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration-
