May 13, 1998 Page 2 ' ' C. ' Sit~ 'CharaCteFistiCS: The 82-acre site lies at the juncture of the Cucamonga Creek Flood Control Channel and Fourth Street, and is bordered on the north by Sixth Street. The project site has been rough graded with the approval of the first two tract phases. The site was rezoned early in 1997 to Low:Medium and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was completed to assess impacts of the land use change and the residential development potential. Phases 1 and 2 were approved in September 1997 and are currently under construction. ANALYSIS: A. General: The Master Plan of Walls and Fences, street landscaping, and Conceptual Grading Plans were previously. approved during the Tentative Tract, and Phases 1 and 2 applications. Phases 3 and 6 contain the larger lots within the development averaging 7,400 square feet for the combined phases. The phasing lines conform substantially to the phasing approved for Tentative Tract 15727. The front setbacks conform to Development Code variation and minimum average requirements, as wells as the side and rear yard minimum requirements, for all lots. With Phases 3 and 6 being the larger lots, the applicant is proposing three basic floor plans of 2,126, 2,630, and 2,740 square feet, each with four model elevations. With reverse floor plans and three-car garage/additional room variations, each phase has at least eight possible floor plan configurations. With the experience of Design Review Committee review and approval of Phases 1 and 2, Gdffin Industries, Inc. is proposing model elevations that satisfy minimum "360 degrees" architecture policy as noted in the Design Review Committee report, (Exhibit "E"). B. Design Review Committee: The Site, Landscaping, and Building Elevation Plans along with the western retaining/tract Wall Plan was reviewed by the Committee (Bethel, Macias, Fong) on April 28, 1998. The Committee recommended approval with the conditions and features as outlined in staffs Design Review Committee report with the following amendments: 1. Expanded porches (to the right of the front door) are required on all two-car garage options of Plan 1. The plans presently call only for expanded porches as an option for the bedroom 5 option. The extended porch shall be required for all bedroom, den and library options of Plan 1. 2. On Elevation C, Plan 1, the eave overhang above the front windows shall extend across the entire entry/porch elevation rather than stopping part of the way across. 3. Window surrounds shall be provided on all windows and all surrounds without shutters or other decorative details shall be painted an alternate complementary color (from the approved colors/materials schedules). 4. Two monument signs are approved for each corner of Fourth Street and Golden Oak Road subject to City Planner and City Engineer approval. The sign face shall comply with Sign Ordinance height and size requirements. The sign face shall be concrete with PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 97-44 - GRIFFIN INDUSTRIES. INC.

Related File: Lot Line Adjustment No. 404. Desiqn Parameters: The 82-acre site lies at the juncture of the Cucamonga Creek Flood Control Channel and Fourth Street, and bordered on the north by Sixth Street. The project site has been rough graded with the approval of the first two tract phases. The site was rezoned eady in 1997 to Low-Medium and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was completed to assess impacts of the land use change and the residential development potential. As part of the EIR process, certain mitigation measures were identified that are design related. The measures that are pertinent to the subject phases include the following: 1. Solid perimeter walls, where needed, to a height (8 feet 7 inches) sufficient to attenuate off-site noise. 2. Inclusion of historic themes in the project design. 3. Adequate storage space will be provided for each dwelling unit to ease separation of recyclable materials. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. The applicant has worked diligently adhere to the design issues of the first two phases as follows: Site Plan: Phases 3 and 6 contain the larger lots within the development averaging 7,400 square feet for the combined phases. The phasing lines conform substantially to the phasing approved for Tentative Tract 15727. The front setbacks conform to Development Code variation and minimum average requirements, as well as the side and rear yard minimum requirements, for all lots. Architecture: With Phases 3 and 6 being the larger lots, the applicant is proposing 3 basic floor plans of 2,126, 2,630, and 2,740 sq. ft., each with four model elevations. With reverse floor plans and two side garage variations, each phase has at least eight possible floor plan configurations. With the experience of Design Review Committee review and approval of Phases 1 and 2, Griffin is proposing model elevations that satisfy minimum "360 degrees" architecture policy by including the following: 1. Secondary accent material in the gables or add gable frieze bands on all side street elevations; and 2. Major side and rear elevation windows on second floors are provided with decorative shutters, if shutters are provided on the front elevations, as well as stucco or wood surrounds on all windows. EXHIBIT "E" DRC COMMENTS DR 97-44 - GRIFFIN INDUSTRIES, INC. April 28, 1998 Page 2 _ Staff believes the elevations can further be improved by including the following: 3. Expanded porches (to the right of the front door) should be required on all two car garage options of Plan 1. The plans presently call only for expanded porches as an option for the bedroom 5 option. The extended porch should be required for all bedroom, den and library options of Plan 1. 4. On Elevation C, Plan 1, the eave overhang above the front windows should extend across the entire entry/porch elevation rather than stopping part of the way across. Materials: Staff believes the materials requested for these phases are acceptable and superior to those approved for Phases 1 & 2. The applicant is requesting, therefore, authorization for these material schemes to be applied in a similar fashion to Phases 1 & 2 (instead of the previously approved material/color schemes). It is recommended that if the Design Review Committee approves these materials/color schemes for Phases 3 & 6, that they be approved for all phases of Tract 15727. The two materials boards will be available at the meeting for comparison. The coded elevations (colored) in the Exterior Materials Schemes booklet do not reflect the actual colors. The elevation colors (as shown) are simply used as codes for the materials' scheme charts. The "Cobble Aspen" trim should be called out as "native rock cobblestone" as required by Planning Commission policy. Walls: The combination retaining wall and perimeter tract wall along the western boundary will be constructed with these phases. The design, in keep.ing with the Master Plan of Walls, provides for two types of block (slump and split face) divided by an extruding block as a dividing accent line. Cobblestone pilasters are located at the property lines to Lot 28, Phase 3. The most recent noise study states that 7-foot perimeter walls are only needed along the Fourth Street frontage for sound attenuation. The wall height (less the retaining portion) along the west boundary is 6-foot in height. Staff believes the wall height should be increased to 7 feet (from the Fourth Street wall to the last pilaster) to ensure that any noise from Fourth Street directed to the first few side lots is sufficiently attenuated. Based on the top of wall heights provided, this additional 1 - foot should not extend the over all (retaining + perimeter tract) height beyond the maximum approved during the Tentative Tract process. In addition, the applicant is requesting to add monument signing at each Fourth Street corner similar in design to the City's entry signs. Staff believes the concept has merit but has concerns regarding the potential long term maintenance requirements of the sign faces. City maintenance experience does not favor granite due to irrigation spray residue buildup. Also, the monument wall cannot be higher than 4 feet (Sign Ordinance 14.20.080.3). It is recommend, therefore, that the entry monument be allowed at a reduced height and that any sign face (24 square feet maximum) be limited to recessed letters within concrete subject to City Engineer and City Planner approval. The grading and plant material placement should also be subject to City Engineer and City Planner approval and may not be as depicted on the conceptual plan. DRC COMMENTS DR 97-44 - GRIFFIN INDUSTRIES, INC. April 28, 1998 Page 3 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. The front entry/porch structures of all elevations of Plan 1 should not exceed 14 feet in height (as presently scaled). 2. The stucco corbels (#13 Materials Legend) adjacent to the front windows on Elevation B, Plan 1, should match the corbels on the entry columns. The corbels should also be included on the side column elevation of the entry structure. 3. The rear yard retaining wall on Lot 26, Phase 3 should be extended, or returned at a less severe angle, to provide 15 fe~t of level area from the northwest corner of the house. 4. On the right elevation of Plans 2 and 3, the large second floor window should have mullions as the first floor windows directly below. These windows will be visible from the street frontage. 5. The perimeter walls along Golden Oak are to be located outside of the landscape easement and the 8-inch wall width reduces the side yard dimension for those Lots (39, 40, etc.) along the street. The houses should be shifted westerly to insure that 5 feet clear is provided between the perimeter wall and the house. 6. Window surrounds shall be provided on all windows and all surrounds shall be painted an alternate complementary trim color. policy Issues: The following items are a ,matter of Planning Commission policy or were included in Phases 1 and 2, and should be incorporated into Phases 3 and 6 without discussion: 1. All walls, including retaining walls in rear yards potentially visible from the streets, should consist of a decorative exterior material or finish including a decorative cap (as provided in the Master Plan of Walls). 2. Provide double fascias along all eaves. Eave overhangs shall be at least 18 inches all around. 3. Provide a minimum 5-foot setback between fencing on corner side yards and sidewalk. 4. Wood fencing exposed to public view shall be treated with stain, paint or water seal. 5. Chimneys (and caps) should be integrated and treated to be consistent with the house design, to the satisfaction of the City Planner. 6. Decorative paving in individual driveways should consist of various patterns/textures of concrete, as well as the walkway leading to the front door, to the satisfaction of the City Planner. 7. Native rock should be used where cobblestone is called out. Other forms of stone/masonry may be manufactured products. 8. Eighteen feet of driveway area should not exceed 7.5% slope. This was the maximum driveway slope approved for Phases 1 and 2. DRC COMMENTS DR 97-44 - GRIFFIN INDUSTRIES, INC. April 28, 1998 Page 4 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Architectural Elevations with Colors and Materials, Site Plans. Landscape Plans, and Wall Plans be approved subject to recommendations contained in this report and final City Engineer and City Planner approval. Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Bill Bethel, Rich Macias, Nancy Fong Staff Planner: Alan Warren Of the items discussed in the staff comments, the applicant agreed to include the following numbered items listed in this report, as conditions of approval: Major Issues - Architecture Items 1, 2, 3, and 4. Walls - the applicant agreed to raise the wall at the southwest corner of the site for sound attenuation purposes but not to exceed the height approved with the Tentative Tract approval. The Committee concurred with this position. Secondary Issues - The applicant agreed to Items 1, 3, 4, and 5. The Committee and staff agreed with the applicant's suggestion regarding Item 2. The applicant will provide an alternate design in projecting the single garage door wall with a stucco corbel to match the opposite house wall, subject to City Planner approval. Policy Issues - The applicant agreed with all the policy issues, consistent with City policies. The Design Review Committee recommended approval subject to the items listed above and the following conditions: 1. Window surrounds shall be provided on all windows and all surrounds without shutters or other decorative details shall be painted an alternate complementary color (from the approved colors/materials schedules). 2. Two monument signs are approved for each corner of fourth Street and Golden Oak Drive subject to City Planner and City Engineer approval. The sign face shall comply with Sign Ordinance height and size requirements. The sign face shall be concrete with painted recessed letters. The City Engineer and City Planner may consider and approve alternative sign face material, similar to that proposed by the applicant, only if maintenance cost concerns can be sufficiently resolved. Otherwise, only concrete may be used for the sign face. 3. The new materials/color samples are approved for all phases of the prcject, subject to providing detailed production sequence sheets for City Planner's review and approval, prior to building permit issuance.

SC-3~8 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: May 13, 1998 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer BY: Jerry A. Dyer, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: VACATION OF THE EXCESS PORTION OF A CITY DRAINAGE EASEMENT - A request to vacate the excess portion of a City Drainage Easement located on the easterly side and adjacent to the Beryl-Hellman Channel across the Lesondak property - APN: 202-041-70 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The City drainage easement, Instrument No. 83-107361 of Official Records of the County of San Bernardino, was originally obtained for the construction of the Beryl-Hellman Channel. The original easement included excess areas not now required for the channel and its adjacent access roads. The Channel has since been completed and accepted by the City. It would be appropriate to vacate the excess portions of those easements and return the property use to the owners. In fact by letter to the property owner dated March 5, 1986, the City offered to process the vacation. The property owner, Robert and Marilyn Lesondak, have now come forward requesting the vacation of the excess easement as mentioned above. The vacation is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the finding through minute action that the subject vacation conforms with the General Plan. This finding will be forwarded to the City Council for further processing and final approval.

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. Applicant's 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 Design 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 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ISPA 98-01 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS February 11, 1998 Page 2 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 Court 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 the site, 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, electronics, 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 the 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 Development 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/dell. Under construction at this time are Buildings 13 and 14. The bardscape and the metal trellis within the Vintner's walk are PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT IASPA 98-01 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS February 11, 1998 Page 3 completed. However, the historic art works have not been installed. Exhibit "l" lists the outstanding items within Masi Plaza and their status. C. Evolution of and the Proposed Chanqes 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.

The auto court is 100% leased and wc have much demand lbr addilional lease space, particularly for more specialty users such as German ante and Japanese auto s~cialists. and specialty services ,~.._k ~. ~1 ..... in:~La!!utitm m:d v'inds~ic!ds). By increasing the pem~issible area oFthe auto court to six acres, we c:.m build an additional 20,000 sq. ft. in three buildings so as to meet the additional demoted. We believe the larger ~mtu court will altow it to become a recognized sub-regional auto sen'ice centel', providing a full line of services i 1 a single integrated aura center environmeaL :~.s c::visloned. the tb. ree additional auto court buildings would replace the four single user industrial box buildings at the southwest career oFthe lvlasi project site that is adjacent to the City maintenance yard at the Spun.,; Center. These li~ur industrial buildings were previously approved as part o[' CUP 91-24. Feb-04-98 09:S6P Nancy Fnng "¢br arv 4. 1992 We believe this is a higher and better use/br this rear comer tfi'lhe Masi PlaTe site and is morc consistent with the eotnmercird development now underway on the site. Forecast for the Development of the Balance of the l,ols Lvin-~ to the South of Sebastian Way AS part of C U P 91-24 (appmved July 22, 1992), we bave approval for ten industrial bai ldings at the south side ul'Sebastian Way. '['he land development casts, in addithm to the indebtedness associated with the City assessment district bnnd llnancing, makes the development often indnsr. rial boxes economically infeasible. Muhi-tenant office/industrial and auto service buildings are a higher and better use. Consequently. the land to the east of the three proposed auto cc~urt buildings, totaling approximatcly 3-1/2 acres. is probably best utilized tbr small, multi-tenant oF~ctdindustrial users. The industrial users would have a higher office build-out and a higher parking ratio. Comments on CUP 91-24~ CUP 94-26 and General Plan Amendment 93-O2B The CUP for the Masi Plaza Project, specifically CUP 91-24 tapproved July 22, 1992). grants approval for ten industrial buildings south tffSeha.stian Way and six industrial buildings north Sebastian Way. DR 93-19 (January 12, 1994) allowed ~br the consolidation uCthe six industrial buildings on thc north side of Sebastian Way into two multi-tenant industrial buildings (as well as granted design changes to buildin~ ;~14 and de. sign appr CU~.9~-0'7 tapproved Janum'y 26, 1995), was intended to be a parallel CUP to CUP 91-24 that allowed for u seven screen theatre on the north side uFSuhastian Way and an ice skating rhlk on. d~c south sidc of Sebastian Way. "Due to the 52 screens buill in Ontario, the movie thcauc at Masi Plaza became inli~asible. SLat Time Cinentas. the U~en prospective tenant that led us to pursue the entitlement for the movie ,,. theatre, dropped out of the deal once the 52 scrt~ns in Ontario was announced. AdditionaJly. the prospect of an ice skating rLrd<. elLher at the Ontario MElts or a~ a City oF Ontario sponsored Facility, has greatly tLiminished interest in the Masi Plaza location. Additionally, the c]ongated shape of the f~ciliPz', along with a commercial (rather tl'am indusI~al) quality of'building construction. mad~ the proposed Facility less competitive in terms of buildbig cost. It .should be noted that MLLsi Commerce Center Partners has advertiscd in .qational it:c skating and roller .~ka[ing magazines and advertised at rafttonal reLai] convenfim~s in an atteiBpt to attracl a skating rink developer or user. Additionally, tnajor ice skating dcvclopcrs anti opcra(or~ were c<mtacted and shown the prqjcct site; two met with City Ofl)cla]s ([;e-u-plex and Canlan). tt should also be noted that we spent nearly $~5,00() in plannh)~n, desi~ and marketing costs trying to promote the movie theaLre/icc skatiug concept, but tu no avail. Feb-04-98 09:56P P,04 Nancy Fon~ ,ebruar¢ 4, ~ggg Page Three It should also be noted that tile commercial recreation zoning ovcrlav (Gcncrul Plum Amendment 93-0213) was approved April 7, 1994, appmximateb,' 10 months prior to CUP 95-O~"(ice rink/movie lheatrc). It should bc emphasized that the movie theatre/ice rink application was never ofl~rcd as part of, or in conjunction with, or as an accompanying example lo, Ihe cammercial recreation zoning overlay application. I think the timing of the submittals and approvals of these two district applications makes this obvious. One last important point- iF there is interest eventually in the skating rink facility, development of the three additional auto service buildings does not cmcroach ulxm land needed for the skating rink.

Sincerely, 'eL Jack M~i '~\rtachn:tcnts CITY OF RA2qCHO CUCANIONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: January 14, 1998 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: DIRECTOR'S REPORT 9%03 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERR - A request to consider amending the definition of Auto Service Court in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. BACKGROUND: The applicant, Mike Scandif~o of Masi Commerce 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 Exhibit "C." He would like to expand the definition by adding more auto related types of services including auto body work and painting. A~ached is Exhibit "A," which shows the applicant's proposed changes to the definition of the Auto Service Coud. 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 category 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 land 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 Chancles 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. c I:FA f-ol, II PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT D[R. RPT. 97-03- MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS Janua~ 14,1998 Page 2 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.

DIRECTOR'S REPORTS 97-03 - MASI COMMERCE PARTNERS - A request to consider amending the definition of Auto Service Court in Subarea 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 recreational uses in the area. Commissioner Macias asked what is located between the applicant's property and the stadium. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated a maintenance building and 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 support nor stating opposition to the project. Chairman Barker invited public comment. Mike Scandiffio, Masi Commerce Padnets, 1510 Riverside Drive, 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 reclassifying 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 Macias did not object to allowing the applicant to submit an application but said he did not want that action to be construed as potential approval 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 furlher 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 lhe concept of a sports related commercial area. He did not want to entertain other uses at this time. Commissioner Macias said he liked 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 piecemeal planning and he preferred to have P,anning commission Min.,esI Vo / January 14, 1998 DRAFT the original concept carried out. He felt auto related uses are needed in this pan1 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. Buller 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 secudng 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 oppodunity 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.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAiMONGA ' ~ STAFF REPORT DATE: May 13, 1998 TO: · Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad BulleL City Planner BY: Brent Le Count, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 97-36 - CHEVRON - A request to construct a 2,930 square foot gas station/mini-market facility on a 1.06 acre parcel within the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center, within the Regional Related Commercial District (Subarea 4) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Marketplace Drive - APN: 229-031-34. (Continued from April 22, 1998). BACKGROUND: The project was continued from the April 22, 1998, meeting at the request of the applicant. At the meeting, the Commission deliberated on the issue of whether the project should be conditioned to construct the right-hand-turn lane on southbound Marketplace Drive per the Kimley-Horn Traffic Analysis (August 23,1995). The vacant pad to the west was previously conditioned to do so; however, a new Development Review application for a restaurant was recently submitted for that pad. Two of the three Commissioners in attendance were inclined to require the applicant to perform the construction. The applicant seeks to avoid such a requirement and requested the continuance in hopes that the full Commission will be present at the meeting on May 13, 1998. No new information has been presented by the applicant or property owner. See attached April 22, 1998, staff report for complete discussion of this issue. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the project site advertising the April 22, 1998, meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 97-36 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97~36 - CHEVRON April 22, 1998 Page 2 " ......... D: ' Parkinq Calculations: Number of Number of Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Footaqe Ratio Required Provided Service Station/ Convenience Mart 2,929 1/250 11.7 15 Car wash 2.5/car wash 2.--5 Total 14.2 15 ANALYSIS: A. General: Service stations and car washes are conditionally permitted in the Regional Related Commercial District. The site was included in the original Price Club/Foothill Marketplace Master Plan for development of a service station. The proposal includes a 2,929 square foot service station/convenience mart with 3 pump islands under a 3,230 square foot canopy and a self service drive-thru car wash. The station would operate 24 hours a day with 8 employees, a maximum of 2 of which would be on-site at any given time. The project is subject to the provisions of Resolution No. 88-96, which establishes specific development policies for drive-thru facilities. The Resolution indicates a 45-foot setback from ultimate face of curb for parking and drive-thru lanes. The proposed drive-thru lane would respect a 30- to 41-foot setback from the face of curb on Foothill Boulevard. The Design Review Committee supported the reduced setback with provision of intensified landscaping and berming along the street frontage to mitigate the reduced drive-thru lane setback. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The project was considered by the Design Review Committee (McNiel, Fong) on February 17, 1998, at which time the Committee returned the project for redesign. The project was revised by the applicant and again considered by the Committee (Bethel, Macins, Fong) on March 3, 1998, at which time the Committee recommended that the Planning Commission approve the project subject to minor modification conditions, see Exhibit "H." C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical and Grading Review Committees have reviewed the project and recommend approval subject to the conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval. D. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant and staff completed Part II. Staff identified potential impacts related to traffic circulation. A traffic study (Kimley-Horn and Associates, August 23, 1995) addressed current circulation problems in the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center and certain methods of mitigation. The study recommends installation of a right hand turn lane on the southbound portion of Marketplace Drive to ensure an adequate balance of capacities between Marketplace Drive and left turn pockets on westbound Foothill Boulevard, thereby avoiding vehicle stacking within the PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-36 - CHEVRON April 22, 1998 Page 3 intersection. The Planning Commission previously reviewed this study and conditioned the ........... project on the pad to'the west of Chevron to implement the recommendations. Chevron has demonstrated that the project design will not preclude installation of the right turn lane on Marketplace Drive and mitigation measures require the applicant to provide an easement or other right to access agreement to accommodate turn lane implementation and to prepare construction documents for the right turn lane improvements. Staff is not recommending that the applicant be required to actually perform the improvements because the project to the west, Development Review 95-18, has already been conditioned to do so. Development Review 95-18 is not in plan check and will expire on September 13, 1998 unless extended; however, a new Development Review 98-06 for a restaurant has been filed on that site. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss this matter to determine whether or not the Chevron project should be required to actually install the right turn lane. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 97-36 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Related File: Conditional Use Permit 92-17. BackGround: Chevron originally filed Conditional Use Permit 92-17 for the proposed development of a service station on this parcel on April 15, 1992. The project was processed to the point of review by the Design Review Committee, but the applicant decided to withdraw their application, prior to consideration of the Planning Commission. The new projec design is substantially different from that reviewed by the Design Review Committee in 1992. Desion Parameters: The project site is a vacant pad within the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center, directly adjacent to and west of the primary signalized entrance to the shopping center. The pad has been rough graded previously and includes no significant vegetation and no structures. Street scape planting has been planted along the Foothill Boulevard frontage and the east side of the parcel. The site slopes minimally from noah to south. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Since the previous submittal of Conditional Use Permit 92-17, the Site Plan has been redesigned to provide better vehicular circulation and larger landscaped setbacks along the perimeters of the parcel, especially along Foothill Boulevard. A traffic analysis approved by the Planning Commission on August 23, 1995 recommends a right hand turn lane be installed on Marketplace Drive. Revisions to the Site Plan are necessary to accommodate the additional lane. To date, these revisions have not been provided. 2. The general architectural concept of the building and canopy has been designed to emulate the architecture of other pad buildings within the shopping center by using like colors, finish treatments and accent elements. Staff has no major concerns with the general architectural flavor, but would recommend that the following issues be addressed: a. The tower element and column design should be carefully designed to match that of other pad buildings in the shopping center. b. A trellis or other architectural enhancement should be added to the north elevation. DRC COMMENTS CUP 97-26 - CHEVRON February 17, 1998 Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have bee. n addressed, and time ~ermitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Trees and extensive shrub planting combined with herruing should be provided along the west property line and in areas of the Street scape adjacent to parking stalls, the car wash drive-thru lane, and the canopy island area to screen vehicular activities from areas of public view. in general, upgraded and dense landscaping should be used at every opportunity for this project. 2. Canopy columns should be enlarged. 3. The trash enclosure should be relocated or faced a different direction as to not block vehicular traffic on the busy drive aisle south of the site. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of PIanning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1+ Signage should be consistent with the approved Uniform Sign Program for the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center. 2. The trash enclosure, light standards, pots, trash receptacles, etc., should be consistent in design with the standard designs used throughout the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center. 3 Above-ground mechanical equipment, such as transformers, should be completely screened from public view through the use of shrub hedges or decorative walls. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the project to the Planning Commission with the above items as recommended Conditions of Approval for the project. - - Attachment: Traffic Analysis Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Nancy Fong S~aff Planner: Brent LeCount The Committee (McNie[, Fong) recommended that the project be brought back to the Committee with the following revisions: i. Redesign the building to be more "welcoming" ~nd to be more compatible with the established architectural program in the center. For instance. raise the tower element and bring it out over the entry with more substantial columns; provide colonnade or trellis structures along the east side of the building wrapping to the north and south sides; DRC COMMENTS CUP 97-26 - CHEVRON February 17, 1998 Page 3 increase number and depth of recesses throughout; use of metal wall trellises on west elevation similar to that used on "Hollywood Video" building; increase use of wainscoting around entire building and avoid having glass run directly to ground level. 2. Resolve canopy setback encroachment (45-foot setback required from face of curb, 34 feet provided). Consider re-orienting canopy in an east-west alignment similar to the previous proposal (from 1992, since withdrawn). The Committee will not support issuance of a variance for the subject setback encroachment. 3. Relocate trash enclosure to avoid blocking sight lilies of vehicles exiting car wash and to avoid having structure face the main loop street/driveway. Provide sample of "aluminum composite material" for Committee review. 5. Address issues raised by staff including increased landscaping and berms along street frontages to screen canopy, drive-thru lane. and canNash; design trash enclosure. light standards, pots, trash receptacles, etc., consistent with the design standards used throughout the Foothill Marketplace center completely screen any above ground equipment through use of shrub hedges and/or decorative walls; signage to be consistent with sign program.

Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 97-36 Chevron Page 6 Comments: a, b, and e) The proposed service station would increase the number of vehicle trips in and out of this poEtion of the Foothill Marketplace shopping center. In particular, the station would increase the number of vehicles entering the shopping center off of Foothill Boulevard onto Marketplace Drive. A traffic study (VVPA Traffic Engineers, July 1995) documented on-site circulation problems. A second traffic analysis (Kimley-Horn and Associates, August 23. 1995) also confirmed circulation problems n the center, including Marketplace Drive. The study recommends installation of a third southbound lane, dedicated for right turning vehicles, on the west side of Marketplace Drive to accomodate the storage of vehicles coming into the center. This would provide a be~er balance between the capacities of the left turn pockets on westbound Foothill Boulevard and the southbound portion of Marketplace Drive thereby avoiding vehicle stacking and delays within the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Marketplace Drive and at the intersection of Marketplace Drive and the first on-site east-west circulation aisle. The Planning Commission previously reviewed these traffic studies and conditioned the project on the pad to the west of Chevron to implement the recommendations. 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 97-36 Chevron Page 7 a) Conflict with adopted energy conseNation plans? ( ) ( ) ( ) b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ine~cient manner? ( ) ( ) ( ) c) Result in the loss of availability o~ a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? ( ) ( ) ( ) (V) 9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil. pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? ( ) ( ) (V) ( ) b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ( ) (¢) ( ) ( ) c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? ( ) ( ) ( ) d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? ( ) ( ) ( ) (V') e) increased fire hazard in areas with ~ammable brush, grass, or trees? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') Comments.'. a) The service station activity includes the use of gasoline and possibly other hazardous and fiammable materials. Special permits will be required from the Fire Prevention District to minimize the potential risk of accidental explosion or hazardous material release, The impact is not considered significant. b) The increased number of vehicles entering the site off of Foothill Boulevard to use the seNice station, combined with insufficient capacity of southbound lanes on Marketplace Drive could lead to vehicle stacking within the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Marketplace Drive. This could block emergency vehicles on Foothill Boulevard and block emergency vehicles from entering or exiting the Foothill Marketplace shopping center in case of emergency. Compliance with the recommendations of the Traffic Analysis approved by Planning Commission on August 23, 1995 will mitigate this to a less than significant impact.

( ) ( ) ( ) (v') b) Short term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) () ( ) ( ) (V') c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?

CO/KoothZll. .r,pr -3- August 23, 1995 IMPROVEMENT CONCEPT \' Egure 5 presents an improvement concept that entails an extensive revision of the internal roadway system ;','hereby Street C would be realigned southerly at its western terminus such that it would intersect Street A at a common intersection with Street D. The benefit of this configuration would be that closely spaced 'T' intersections along Street A would be replaced by a single four-legged intersection. The proposed configuration would provide a clear definition to Ihe entry/exit via Street A and would eliminate the cones/on associated with the two closely-spaced interseclions on Street A. There would be virtually no delay to either southbound (entering) or northbound (exiting) traffic. Delay would nonetheless be encountered by those motorists turning lea from eastbound Street D to northbound Street A, those turning Ief~ from Street C to Street A, and those traveling east-west through the intersection. Table 2 presents a ~omparison of the existing circulation system with the improvement concept. With the improvement concept travel for many motorists within the center would be easier. It is understood that dne improvement would not solve all circulation problems in the western portion of Foothill Marketplace. RECOMMtENDATIONS Following are recommendations to improve inlernal circulalion in the western portion of Foo~ill Marketplace: A. Implement the improvement concept illustrated in Fi_,m, are 5 because the improvement would: 1. Consolidate two 'T" intersections into one four-iegged intersection thereby eliminating confusion and reducing to!a! de!ay as well as r~ucing opport'dnities for vehicular conflicts. 2.R~uce fine number of le~ turns for many toolot/sis. if a four-way s~op control is to be implemenled al the intersection of B and C Streets, it is recommended that a third southbound lane be added on B Street between Foothill Boulevard and Street C. The provision of a G'~ird southbound lane will increase the storage capacity on Street B between Foothill Boulevard a~d Street C by approximately 50%. Without the addition of such storage capacity, there would be a strong possibility that all vehicles entering the Foothill Marketplace during one traffic signal c,vcle could not be accommodat~ within the Center. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS At the intersection of Sircut B/Street C, wilh the ins~allaIion of four-way stop control there would be delays to all motorists using that intersection. While outside the scope of the current consideration of the 5,040 square feet retail use, it might be appropriate to analyze the desirability of installing a tra~'ic signal at the intersection of Street B and Street C. With a signal, delay to all tra~]c at the intersection can be kept at a minimum. With signal timing and operation synchronized with the signal on Foothill Boulevard, efficient ingress and egcess can be achieved. Because of the proximity of such a signal to the signal on Foothill Boulevard (controlled by Celttans), close coordination with Cabtans would be needed. 0940OS.

ITEM E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PARCEL MAP 15155 - MASTER DEVELOPMENT May 13, 1998 Page 2 ANALYSIS The parcel map will create eight lots. Environmental Assessment for Development Review application 97-41, for the development of the eight lots was approved at the April 22 Planning Commission meeting. Full frontage improvements will be required along Jersey Boulevard and White Oak Avenue. The area is also required to detain a portion of the developed flow onsite to relieve the existing undersized storm drain system in White Oak Avenue. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study and staff completed Part II. Staff identified potential impacts related to flooding since the storm drain system that serves the site and vicinity does not have adequate capacity to handle increased flows from the added impervious surfaces. Mitigation measures limiting the amount of runoff from the site, through on-site retention, will mitigate this to a less than significant impact. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Negative Declaration with mitigations would be in order. RR P D Notices of Public Headng have been sent to surrounding property owners and placed in the Inland ~YtJI~L~bL~I. Posting at the site has also been completed. Staff recommends that the Planning: Commission approve Parcel Map 15515 by adoption of the attached Resolution and issue a Negative Declaration with mitigations.

Rev. 10/14/96 6 CITY OF RANCHO CUCANiONGA ' ~ STAFF tiF, PORT DATE: May 13, 1998 TO: Chairman and Members 8f the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller. City Planner BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 98-04 - THE BEER HUNTER - A request to establish a sports bar, arcade, and billiards in conjunction with a restaurant within an existing building with a total floor area of 7,900 square feet, in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Town Center, located at 10990 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 110 - APN: 1077-421-95. Related file: Entertainment Permit 98-02. ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 98-02 - THE BEER HUNTER - A request to have entertainment consisting of sport events coverage within a bar, restaurant, arcade, and billiards in an existing building with a total floor area of 7,900 square feet, in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Town Center, located at 10990 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 110 -APN: 1077-421-95. Related file: Conditional Use Permit 98-04. (WITHDRAWN) ABSTRACT: After reviewing the above two applications, staff determined that the Entertainment Permit is not needed because TV coverage of sport events is not considered as entertainment, according to the entertainment definition in the Municipal Code. A non-construction Conditional Use Permit is normally reviewed by the City Planner except if the application is in conjunction with an Entertainment Permit. The Planning Commission will be reviewing the above Conditional Use Permit in this case because the application has been advertised for this public hearing. ANALYSIS: A. Proposed Uses: The applicant, Bob Thomas, proposes a full service bar and restaurant, four pool tables and a maximum of five coin operated games. The restaurant also provides TV coverage of sports events such as football, boxing, etc., for the enjoyment of the patrons. The total floor area is 7,900 square feet including a 700 square foot mezzanine for a banquet room. The mezzanine is to be located at the building tower. The hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. During football season, they may open at 9 a.m. on week ends. One management person and a minimum of six employees on weekdays and fourteen employees on weekends will be available for each shift. B. Compatibility of Use: The building where The Beer Hunter will be located is within Town Center Square. Currently, there are three major anchors in the center, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble with Starbucks, and Office Max. Several food users and restaurants such as ITEMS F & G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 98-04- BEER HUNTER May13,1998 Page 2 Hometown Buffet, Pick-up Stix, Subway, Juice Up, and 24th Street Bagel are within buildings along Foothill Boulevard street frontages. Town Center Square is surrounding on three sides by developed and planned commercial/restaurants centers. The closest residential district and a park are north of Church Street, which is more than 750 feet away from the business premise. Staff believes that the proposed bar and restaurant with the billlard and arcade will complement the existing businesses and will be compatible with them. C. Public Safety Concerns: The Police Department has reviewed the proposed uses and has no comment. The Building and Safety Division and the Fire Prevent Unit have also reviewed the proposed uses. A Condition of Approval has been included that requires the applicant to meet all applicable codes for interior modification ,and improvements and that the building be inspected before occupancy. D. Floor Plan and Outdoor Patio Plan: Staff reviewed the Floor Plan and found that the kitchen, service areas, and restroom facilities are adjacent to storefront windows at the south, east, and north and the tower elevations. Staff recommends that the applicant consider modifying the Floor Plan to take advantage of a couple of storefront windows such as the tower elevation at the southeast side of the building and one of the storefront windows at the south side of the east elevation of the building by placing some seating areas next to them. A Condition of Approval has been included that requires the use of spandrel glass for the storefront windows with kitchen and service areas consistent with the ones used in the center. The applicant proposes to have outdoor seating area at the northwest side of the building, which would require eliminating a portion of the landscaped area. Staff believes that there is sufficient landscape area around the building to accommodate the expansion of hardscape for patio seating. A Condition of Approval has been included to require the patio area be consistent with the design established in the center, subject to City Planner review and approval. E. Parkinq: The total square footage for Town Center Square is 225,914. Based on the parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area, the total number of parking spaces required is 1,130. The number of parking spaces provided on-site is 1158. The parking ratio also takes into consideration allowing 15 percent of the total floor area (33,887 square feet) to be food users. The total percentage of food users including the proposed business (23,766 square feet) is below the 15 percent. Therefore, the site has sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed business. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code and the Terra Vista Community Plan, and the purposes of the District in which the site is located. B. 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. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT - CUP 98-04 - BEER HUNTER May 13, 1998 Page 3 "' ' '7 ' C:". '- The'Pi'oposed use complies With each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Terra Vista Community Plan. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 3004oot radius of the project site and all the tenants within Town Center Square. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 98-04 for a sports bar, billiards and arcade through the adoption of the attached Resolution with conditions.

Our mission statement and goals are too, Establish The Beer Hunter as "the" place where friends gather. To strive to be the most exciting and successful sports theme restaurant in America~ We exist to provide "you" the guest with the verF finest in sports entertainment, quali~ food unique beverages from around the world, and most o falll an atmosphere for fun and enio}'ment. all delivered with exceptional service bF our friendlF staf[. As our company statement reflects the tone of the business, we are "The" Place were friends gather. We also go to great lengths to ensure our guest have an environment with fun & enjoyment. With that in mind. the sports theme ' and the surrounding arabianee consist of several tools to achieve that. Using our La Quinta store as a model to ' ~t ~ [o.~ explain our concept, we have five pool tables located around the dinning area as well as the sunken area below our bank of TV's suspended abovi~'r the ultimlte viewing of sporting events. We also have one dartboard. one 2~d :L~ basketbail game. two computer golf games, and one shuffleboard and one pinball machine. We have CA Lottery as well in all our stores. Our operation on a daily basis consists of 6 to 14 employees per shift de~ending on weekdays and weekends. A normal day consists of two shifts. The point is, it must be a complete package that has all the ingredients to survive. In your city alone, you 'know how many businesses have come and gone. It takes a special formula to survive in this transient environment. Though the income from those machines equal only 2 V: oercent of total sales. they are a necessity for the concept to work. We have never been approached that we even resemble an arcade. The five games in La Quinta in 1997, generated only S8,400 of the S2,100,000 of total net sales. Again. it is a fond concept with a sports theme. What we have created is tkree fold; first being a place where one can enjoy great food at moderate priceks; second. we have surrounded our guest with some form of distraction and amusement for their pleasure while waiting for the arrival of their food; third. we have created the most incredible viewing for all live sportin.g events in the US. Packaged with an aggressive food philosophy we feel we have a winning combination. Our food concept starts with a Breakfast menu served during football season. We have an outstanding lunch and dinner menu as well including two to three specials daily. This menu is served till 10pro every dayof the year. From 10pro till 2am. we offer a cafi menu with a limited number of our specialties. This menu works extremely well with the late night employees from the local hotels and other re~aurants, as well as late night rnoviegoers. We have added banquet facilities to our concept to capture more of the hotel and sports league business in the market place. We feel strongly that will increase our food sales dramatically. What we propose for all new locations is four or five pool tables. one shuffleboard, one dartboard, two computer golf games, one pinball machine. and possibly one foosball tabIe if room allows. Our prototype location has a variety of TV's viewable throughout the restaurant and bar area. The purpose for the CUP is for the sale of alcoholic beverages and an entertainment Iicense. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Bob Thomas CO D 0 I'7~ / Director of Operations /:' ......................

CITY OF RANCHO CUCA~MONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: May 13, 1998 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: DESIGN AWARDS NOMINATIONS BACKGROUND: Presented annually, the Awards for Design Excellence program honors projects which exemplify superior design and resourceful use of land. Awards may be given in the following categories: residential, commercial, office, institutional, and industrial. The program is intended to recognize a variety of projects such as new construction, historic rehabilitation, master planning, remodeling, and landscaping. The Commission has established a policy that projects, such as a shopping center or subdivision, should be at least 75 percent complete to be eligible. The Commission also determined that only those projects which were subject to the City's review process were eligible; therefore, public schools are not eligible. ANALYSIS: Attached is a list of projects that were completed during the 1997 calendar year that may be considered for this year's program. The list is quite extensive and we encourage each Commissioner to visit these proiects prior to tonight's meeting and bring your list of projects that you feel are worthy of further consideration. If the Commission decides to proceed with the program, staff will tally your lists and bring back a "short list" of those projects which received a majority vote.
