SUBJECT: VACATION OF A PORTION OF OLD COUNTY ROAD DEDICATION - A request
to vacate a portion of old County road dedication (future Wardman Bullock Road)
located along the west side of Tentative Tract 13564
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Tentative Tract 13564 was approved by the County of San Bernardino on August 24. 1987, and
revised by the County Planning Commission on November 17, 1988. As a result of the Plan Check
process, it was determined that a portion of old County road dedication will need to be vacated.
An abandonment note will be placed upon final map.
The road easement was conveyed to the County of San Bernardino by document recorded June
30, 1935, in book 1070, page 65 of official records, the interest of which has since passed to the
City of Rancho Cucamonga upon incorporation of the City. The subject road vacation is 20 feet
wide and lies within the boundary of the final map. It will be superseded by the dedication of
Wardman Bullock Road on the final map.
The vacation of the old County road dedication within the boundary of the final map is consistent
with the General Plan and the Development Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the finding that the subject road vacation
conforms with the General Plan. This finding will be forwarded to the City Council for further
processing and final approvat.

Dear Breat:
Fursu~t to Greg Wattson, we cannot support live entertainment outdoors at MVP Sports
Grill. However, we wish to support MVP Sports Grill for live entertainment inside the
space with [imitations.
As you kmow we have wrk~en letters to our t=nants and pursued responses over the
telephone. After speaking wi_th a few of our major tenants today, the3' will not agree to
entertainment at the shopping center unless the Landlord agrees to provide strict
limitations. We must reStera!e, that if one of our major tenant's declines support because
it violates 'daeir lease 'terms, then Foothill Marketplace must also withdraw their approval.
We are doing everything possible to obtain permission fi'om our tenares, and to support
Nf'V'P Sports Grill.
Please comast me should you have any questions at (714) 757-7776.
Sincerely,
Diana Pope

square foot lease space in the Regional Commercial designation (Subarea 4) of the
Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan located within the Foothill Marketplace shopping

Use Permit 97-30
BACKGROUND: This project was continued from the January 14, 1998, Planning Commission
Meeting to obtain approval of the property owner and to allow the property owner (Watson Group)
to obtain necessary approvals from other existing tenants in the Foothill Marketplace shopping
center. To date, the tenants have not responded to the Watson Group's request. The Watson
Group has agreed to a condition of approval that would require approval of all tenants within the
Foothill Marketplace shopping center prior to MVP Sports Grill initiating any of the entertainment
activities or outdoor serving of alcoholic beverages.
The applicant is proposing to legalize an existing sports bar with arcade and entertainment at the
Foothill Marketplace shopping center and add indoor and outdoor entertainment. The applicant
was issued a business license in November 1996 for a restaurant without entertainment.
Restaurants with entertainment require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and an Entertainment
Permit.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zonino:
North Church, offices, retail, service station (across Foothill Boulevard); Community
Commercial, Foothill Boulevard Specific plan (Subarea 4). Fast food restaurants
and video store to the north within the shopping center; Regional Commercial
(Subarea 4).
South - Metropolitan Water District Reservoir; Light Industrial, Foothill Boulevard Specific
Plan (Subarea 4)
East Vacant land and single family homes (across Etiwanda Avenue); Community
Commercial, Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (Subarea 4) and Low Residential,

West Fast food restaurant, retail; Regional Commercial, Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan
(Subarea 4)
B. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Commercial
North Commercial ,.
South - Industrial Park
East Commercial and Low Residential
West Commercial
C. Site Characteristics: The lease space is within the Foothill Marketplace shopping center.
Most of the surrounding lease spaces are occupied by a variety of fast food and retail uses
and services. The sports bar has been in operation since December 1996 with no record of
complaints filed with Code Enforcement.
D. Parkinq Calculations: The subject lease space is within the Foothill Marketplace shopping
center, which has sufficient parking to meet applicable Code requirements.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing a dance floor With D.J. music and band area, an arcade,
a children's play area, and an area with pool tables and dart boards in addition to dining
tables and a bar. The applicant is requesting to use the existing outdoor patio area for dining,
serving of alcoholic beverages, and live entertainment. The serving of alcoholic beverages
will be limited to an area next to the main entrance which will be physically separated from
the remainder of the outdoor patio area. The applicant is proposing the use of chain link to
section off the alcohol serving area; however, staff:recommends a decorative material such
as wrought iron railing or similar. As discussed in the January 11, 1998, staff report, It is
recommended that the specific placement of the alcohol serving section(s) and security fence
design be subject to City Planner review and approval to avoid conflicts with pedestrian
passage and other tenants. The design of any outside fencing is critical because this is the
main plaza for Foothill Marketplace and features a complex design (i.e., round forms, raised
planters, and multiple grade levels). Alternatives to fencing should be explored.

DATE: February 11, 1998
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Brent Le Count, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE
TRACT 14405 - LEE - A request for an extension of a previously approved tentative
tract map including design review for the development of 20 single family lots on
4.39 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per
acre), located on the north side of San Bemardino Road, east of Vineyard Avenue -
APN: 208-091-08. Related File: Variance91-11
TIME EXTENSION FOR VARIANCE 91-11 - LEE - A request for extension of a
previously approved variance to reduce the required rear lot depth from 90 to
65 feet for one lot within a proposed 20 lot subdivision in the Low-Medium
Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre), located on the north side of San
Bernardino Road, east of Vineyard Avenue - APN: 208-091-08. Related File:
Tentative Tract 14405
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 14405 and Variance 91-11 were approved by the Planning
Commission on December9. 1992. Since that time, the State granted automatic time extensions
for several years during the recession. This extended the expiration of the subject Tentative Tract
and Variance approval to December 9. 1997. Prior to expiration the applicant filed the subject
extension request.
ANALYSIS: According to Section 66452.6(e) of the Subdivision Map Act, the City may extend the
time at which a tentative map approval expires by up to three years. However, the Planning
Commission approval also included design review for construction of homes on the lots and a
variance which allowed reduced lot depth for one of the proposed lots. Approval of the time
extension would also apply to approvals for the design review and variance. The Development
Code limits time extensions for design review and variance approvals to one year increments.
Staff has analyzed the proposed time extension and compared the proposal with current
development criteria outlined in the Development Code. Based on this review, the tract meets the
development standards for the Low-Medium Residential District.

REf Variance application of Lot 7 of Tract No. 14405
Dear Steve:
Tract No. 14405 is a development project of twenty single family
housing lots from a parcel of vacant land. It locates at the
north side of San Bernardino Road, opposite to the Thomas Winery
Commercial Project. The land is in a sharp triangular shape with
a fairly uniform slope from NW to SE. An offset cul-de-sac is
':hence necessary for designing the north corner of the triangle.
The design will create a triangular Lot 7 which is not standard.
I hereby apply for the City's approval of variance of said Lot 7.
Please note that the average lot size of this tract is 6706 sq.ft.
larger than the minimum net average of 6000 sq.ft. for LM zone.
The size of Lot 7 is 8072 sq.ft., larger than the minimum net
5000 sq.ft. The Tentative Map is being submitted for your review.
Sincerely,
Walter W. Hu

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFEC'T ED
The environmental factors checked below would be poteptially affected by this project, involving
at least one impact that is "Potentially Significant Impact!" "Potentially Significant Impact Unless
Mitigation Incorporated," or "Less Than Significant Impabt" as indicated by the checklist on the
following pages.
( ) Land Use and Planning ( ) Transportation/Circulation ( ) Public Services
( ) Population and Housing ( ) Biological Resources ( ) Utilities and Service Systems
(v') Geological Problems ( ) Energy and Mineral Resources ( ) Aesthetics
( ) Water ( ) Hazards ( ) Cultural Resources
( ) Air Quality ( ) Noise ( ) Recreation
( ) Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
(v') I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
( ) I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described
on an attached sheet have been added to p ~ject, or
the r agreed to, by the applicant. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be p!epared.
( ) I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is requiredE
( ) I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at
least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addres,sed by mitigation measures based upon
the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant
Impact" or "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required; but must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
( ) I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects
1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 98-01 MASI
COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS - A request to amend the definition of
Auto Service Court within the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND: On January 14, 1998, the Planning Commission considered the
applicant's request to amend the definition of the Auto Service Court. After discussing the
merits of the proposed changes, the Commission, on a 3-1-1 vote, directed the applicant
to proceed with the submittal of an amendment application for further study and review.
The applicant has submitted such an application and paid the appropriate fees. Attached
for the Commission's reference is Exhibit "B", a copy of the January 14, 1998, Planning
Commission staff report and draft minutes.
ANALYSIS:
A. Applicanrs proposal: At the January 14, 1998, Planning Commission meeting, Mike
Scandiffio of Masi Commerce Center Partners, proposed to expand the acreage for
the Auto Service Court and expand the definition to include more auto-related types
of services such as auto detailing, auto sales, lease or rental, and auto body work and
painting. With the formal Specific Plan Amendment application, he has modified his
proposal to expand the acreage from 4 to 6 acres only and not to expand the
definition of adding more auto-related types of services. Attached is Exhibit "A" that
shows his current proposed changes.
B. Evolution of the Desiqn of Masi Plaza and the Current Development Status: A review
of the history and evolution of Masi Plaza may assist the Commission in
understanding and considering the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. The
following summarizes the evolution of Masi Plaza:
1. Evolution of the Master Plan for Masi Plaza: In July of 1992, the Commission
conditionally approved a Master Plan (CUP 91-24) for Masi Plaza, a mixed use

development comprised of 32 buildings. totaling 268,900 square feet. The
approval also included an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan that
established the Auto Service Coud as a land use category within Subarea 7 of
the Specific Plan. There were three main components in the Master Plan; the
Auto Service Court at the west end of theesite, the 18-acres plus of a mixed use
center at the southwest quadrant of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue
(consisting of restaurants, including a drive through, and multi-tenant retail and
office users), and the industrial center at the southern portion of the site, as
shown in Exhibit "C ." In December of '1993, the City Planner reviewed and
approved minor changes to Buildings 1,through 4, and 6 through 13, which
involved refinements to improve and enhance the parking area, the elevations,
and the floor plans. The design of the Master Plan remained intact as originally
approved.
In January of 1994, the Commission approved a specific Design Review
(DR 93-19) on Buildings 5, 14, 15, and 16. Building 5 was originally designed
as the Old Spaghetti Factory, which eventually found another site in the City.
This version of the Master Plan consolidated the smaller industrial buildings
along the north side of !'Sebastian Way. In April of 1994, the City Council
amended the General Plan and the InduStrial Area Specific Plan to establish a
Recreational Commercial Land Use category (Exhibit "F") which encourages
development of recreation facilities and allows region-serving specialty retail
uses such as sporting goods, apparel, ~lectronics, furniture, and appliances.
Sizes range from 3,500 to 55,000 square ,feet of floor area for the 27-acre Masi
Plaza. The City Council also expanded tl~e definition of the Auto Service Court.
At that time, the applicant requested a modification to the southern portion of
the Master Plan for development of a multi-screen theater, a roller rink, and two
ice rinks. The Commission conditionally approved the Master Plan modification
(CUP 94-26) in January of 1995, as shown in Exhibit "D." Both versions of the
Master Plan, the Industrially oriented :(CUP 91-24) and the Commercial
Recreational oriented (CUP 94-26) are valid. The applicant has the opportunity
to exercise either one or a combination of them.
2. Status of Current DeveloDment in Masi Plaza: The construction of Masi Plaza
began in 1996. Jack-in-the-Box was the first building completed in 1996. The
Auto Service Court with Mobil Gas station, Texaco Express Lube, Goodyear
Tire, and two other auto repair buildings were completed and occupied in 1997.
Also completed in 1997, were Denny's and two multi-tenant buildings (4 and 7).
Popeye's Chicken and the Frame Gallery occupy portions of Building 4 with two
other restaurants presently doing interior improvements. Several tenants have
begun interior improvements in Building 7, namely, a dental office, a cafe, a
florist shop, and a liquor/deE Under construction at this time are Buildings 13
and 14. The hardscape and the metal trellis within the Vintner's walk are

completed. However, the historic art works have not been installed. Exhibit 'T'
lists the outstanding items within Masi Plaza and their status.
C. Evolution of and the Proposed Changes to the Definition of Auto Service Court:
The Auto Service Court land use category was added to Subarea 7 in the Industrial
Area Specific Plan in 1992 and the definition was expanded in 1994 to include
maximum acreage and several development and design criteria and as shown in
Exhibit "F." Both amendments were requested by the applicant at that time. In
August of 1994, at the direction of the City Council to streamline the planning
process, the Auto Service Court land use category was added to eight other
subareas in the Specific Plan, Subareas 1 through 4, 8, 11, 12, and 13. Staff believes
that the proposed increase in size from 4 to 6 acres is acceptable. Because this land
use category can occur in eight other Subareas within the Specific Plan boundary,
staff recommends adding criteria to strengthen the design of an auto service court.
Such criteria includes the requirement of a master plan, increasing the percentage
of landscaping from a typical General Industrial category (12 percent) to an Industrial
Park category (15 percent), requiring usable and sizable plazas and pedestrian
amenities within the site, and significant architectural treatment to the buildings.
D. Proposed Auto Service Court Expansion and its Relationship to Masi Plaza Master
Plan: The applicant requested the expansion because of the success of the auto
service court. Exhibit "E" shows the proposed master planning of the auto service
court. He has submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 97-45) application for the
auto service court expansion. With regards to the undeveloped part of Masi Plaza,
he stated it is impossible to attract another theater user because of the two existing
megaplexes, Edwards and AMC, in Ontario Mills and he has no users for the pads
south of Sebastian Way. He stated that if specific users are lined up for the
undeveloped part of Masi Plaza, he will submit a modification to the Master Plan.
E. Conclusion: Staff believes that the proposed change to increase the acreage for the
auto service court is acceptable. Through master planning, the compatibility of the
auto service court with adjacent uses could be addressed. The design criteria
together with the clustering of auto related uses fosters efficiency in land use,
maximizes public safety, and increases the opportunities for creating landscaping
areas and pedestrian amenities which would create a more aesthetically pleasing
auto service court.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has determined that the proposed text
amendment to modify the definition of auto service court does not involve physical
development and is not defined as a project per Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, the proposed application is exempt from
environmental review.

Forecast for the Development of the Balance of the Lots Lying to the South of
Sebastian Way
AS par~ of C U P 91-24 (appmved July 22, 1992). we have approval for ten industrial buildings at
the south side o1' Sebastian Way.
The land development costs, in addition to the indebtedness associated with the City assessment
district bond linancing, mal<cs the development often industrial boxes economically infeasible.
Multi-tenant office/industrial and auto serv'ice buildings are a higher and better use.
Consequently. the land to the e~.st of the three proposed auto court buildings. totaling
approximately 3-1/2 acres. is probably best utilized tbr small, multi-tenant office/industrial users.
'lt~c industrial users would have a higher nf~ce build~mt and a higher parking ratio.
Comments on CUP 91-24~ CUP 94-26 and General Plan Amendment 93-02B
The CUP for the Mast Plaza Project, specifically CLIP 91-24 (approved July 22, 1992). grants
approval for ten industrial buildings south nf Sebastian Way and six industrial bnildings north of
Sebastian Way. DR 93-19 (January 12, 1994) allowdd tbr the consolidation or the six industrial
buildings on the north side of Sebastian Way into m'o multi-tenant industrial buildings (us well as
granted design changes to building #14 and design approval f~r building #5).
_- .,.,,:,-
CUP gS-ff7 (approaved January ~6, 1995), was intended to be a parallel CLIP to CUP 91-24 that
allnwed for a seven screen theatre on the north side of Sebastian Way and an ice skating rink on
the south side of Sebastian Way.
-" Due to the 52 screens built in Ontario, the movie theatre at Mast Plaza became inli~asible. Star
Time Cinemas, the then prospective tenure that led u~ to pursue the entitlement t~r the movie
theatre, dropped out of the deal once the 52 .screens in Ontario was announced.
Additionally. the prospect of an ice skating rink. either at the Ontario MilLs or as a City of Ontario
sponsored Ihcility, has greatly diminished interest in the Mast Plaza location. Additionally, the
elongated shape of the faciliS', along with a commercial (rather than industrial) quality of building
construction. made the proposed facility less competitive in terms of building cost.
It should be noted that Mast Commerce Center Partners has advertised in national ice skating and
roller skating magazines and advertised at national retail conventions in an at-tempt to attract a
skating rink developer or user. Additionally, major ice skating developers and operators were
coumcted and shown the prQject site; two mot with Ci!y Oflicials (lce-o-plex and Canlm~).
should also be noted that w°e spent nearly $75,000 in platruing, desi~ and marketing costs trying
to promrite the movie theatre/ice skating concept, but to no avail.

It should also be noted tha~ file conanercial recreation zoning overlay (General Plan Amen,djnent
93-02B) was approved April 7, 1994, approximately 10 months prior to CUP 95~O~(ice
rink/nmvie theatre). It should bc emphasized that the movie theatre/ice rink application was ticver
offered as part of, or in conjunction with, or as an accompanying examptc to, the commercial
recreation zoning overlay application. I think the timing of the submittals and approvals o1' these
two district applications makes this obvious.
One last imporlant point - if there is interest eventually in the skating rink facility.
development of the three additional auto service buildings does not encroach upton land needed for
the skating rink.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 14, 1998
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Cbmmission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP. Senior Planner
SUBJECT: DIRECTOR'S REPORT 97-03 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS - A
request to consider amending the definitior~ of Auto Service Court in Subarea 7 of
the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND: The applicant, Mike Scandifiio of Masi C'ommerce Center, stated that he would
like to expand the size (acreage) for the Auto Service Court within Masi Plaza by developing an
additional 3.5 acres south of the existing site, see Exhi'bit "C." He would like to expand the
definition by adding more auto related types of services including auto body work and painting.
Attached is Exhibit "A." which shows the applicant's proposed changes to the definition of the Auto
Service Court. The proposal necessitates an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
According to the Development Code, only City Council or the Planning Commission may initiate
amendments to the Industrial Area Specific Plan, which is the reason for this report.
ANALYSIS:
A. The Intent of Auto Service Court: ' The land use carpgory of Auto Service Court was added
to the Industrial Area Specific Plan in 1992 and the, definition was expanded in April 1994.
The purpose of the Auto Service Court is to encourage an integrated development similar
to master planning where design criteria was established to address unique operational
characteristics such as roll-up doors and open bays. The design criteria together with the
clustering of auto related uses fosters efficiency of iand use, maximizes public safety, and
increases opportunities for creating landscaping areas which would be more aesthetically
pleasing. These are the reasons the Planning COmmission supported the Auto Service
Court at that time. The applicant recently completed his Auto Service Court in Masi Plaza
and stated that it has been a success, which is the reason for his request to expand it.
B. Proposed Chanqes to Auto Service Court: The applicant proposes to establish a minimum
of 5 acres and a maximum of 9 acres for the Auto Service Court and expand the auto
related services to include auto cleaning and detailing, auto sales. lease and rental, and
auto painting and body work. Staff believes that the increase in size (acreage). when
properly master planned together with the proper mix of auto related uses, could strengthen
the success of an auto service court. However, the proposal to include auto painting and
body work could create a compatibility issue since these types of uses can be intensive.

Body work is considered as major automotive repair because of the extent of work involved
and potential noise and vibration concerns. Perhaps additional criteria could be established
to limit the type of auto painting business where body repair is not required except for the
repair of minor dents and replacement parts. Staff believes that the applicant's proposals
warrant further study and recommends initiating an amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission, through minute action, direct the
applicant to submit an Industrial Area Specific Plan amendment with the accompanying fee.

I. DIRECTOR'S REPORTS 97-03 - MASI COMMERCE PARTNERS - A request to consider
amending the definition of Auto Service Court in Sub:~rea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Chairman Barker asked the location of the Commercial Recreation zoning.
Ms. Fong replied that it covers the area north and east Of Sebastian Way and Masi Drive.
Chairman Barker commented there are no commercial r:ecreational uses in the area.
Commissioner Macias asked what is located between t~e applicant's property and the stadium.
Brad Buller, City Planner. stated a maintenance building ~nd some landscaping. He observed that
the purpose of tonight's meeting was to determine if the Commission wished to allow the applicant
to submit an application to amend the Industrial Area Specific Plan, not necessarily lending suppod
.- nor stating opposition to the project.
Chairman Barker invited public comment.
Mike Scandiffio, Masi Commerce Partners, 1510 Riverside Ddve, Burbank, thanked Ms. Fong for her
assistance in processing the application.
Chairman Barker remarked he had asked staff to prepare a report on outstanding issues with regard
to Masi Plaza and some of those items were quite far behind schedule. He said he expected those
items to be completed and said he was reluctant to give anything when the applicant had not
completed what was proposed.
Commissioner Tolstoy observed that a long time ago the Commission had been asked to consider
reclassitying the site to Recreation Commercial and so far the City had not seen any of it. He said
he had supported the concept of Recreation CommerCial because of the close proximity to the
stadium. He was very disappointed that nothing has been developed.
Commissioner Madas did not object to allowing the applicant to submit an application but said he
did not want that action to be construed as potential ~pproval of the request. He said he was
concerned regarding some of the proposed uses.
Commissioner Bethel felt allowing the applicant to proceed with an application would constitute
further erosion of the original plan. He felt the City is losing the flavor of what it was trying to do in
the area. He did not think the applicant should be able to submit an application until past issues
have been completely resolved.
Commissioner Tolstoy said he liked the concept of a sports related commercial area. He did not
want to entertain other uses at this time.
Commissioner Macias said he ked what Commissioner Bethel said about not having demonstrated
an ability to successfully meet conditions. He stated he did not conceptually object to the request.
He suggested waiting three weeks to allow the applicant to complete the other requirements.
Commissioner Tolstoy stated a plan had been submitted With a clear idea of what the City would get.
He thought the development is now being dictated by p ecemeal planning and he preferred to have

p,ann,ngcomm,ss,onM,nutes1 :7'
DRAFT
the original concept carried out. He felt auto related uses are needed in this part of town but he
thought the previous plan was being diluted inch by inch.
Chairman Barker said he heard Commissioner Tolstoy say he was not interested in considering an
amendment because of dilution of the previous plan and Commissioner Bethel say he did not feel
the amendment should be considered.
Mr. Bullet observed that there has been a long history on the site. He stated the applicant wanted
straight Commercial but staff and the Commission had moved the applicant to Recreational
Commercial with the south side of Sebastian Way being more industrial. He commented the
applicant had shown a plan with elements which the Commission supported, such as theaters and
a proposed ice rink on the south side. He explained that the applicant had been unsuccessful in
securing such users and has found that auto related uses are successful and now wants to process
an amendment to allow for expansion of those uses.
Commissioner Bethel did not think it would be fair to the applicant to support initiation of an
application if he did not feel he could support the amendment.
Chairman Barker observed that several of the Commissioners wanted to see a good faith effort so
far as meeting existing conditions. He recommended staff not process an amendment until the old
issues are resolved.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt the applicant should be given an opportunity to submit an amendment but
asked that staff indicate what auto related uses are already allowed in the industrial area.
it was the consensus of the Commission (3-1-1, Bethel no, McNiel absent) that the applicant be
permitted to submit an Industrial Area Specific Plan amendment with the accompanying fee.

INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 98-01, A REQUEST
TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF "AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COURT"
WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN, AND MAKING FINDINGS
IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.

Amendment No. 98-01, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,
the subject Development Code Amendment is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of February 1998, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found. determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission
