BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The City's Metrolink Station since it's opening in 1995 has been a success. An unfortunate consequence of this success has been that the original parking lot is being filled to capacity every workday. Later arriving vehicles have been forced to park anywhere they could. To alleviate this over-flow parking problem, the Council during its September 20, 2000 meeting, approved the Metrolink Station Expansion, Phase II Project. The primary goal of this project was the construction of a second parking lot. Southern California Edison Company has an existing easement though the project site for its transmission lines and poles. However the transmission poles, at their present locations, would be in the travel way of the new parking lot. Physical constraints caused by the alignment of the existing easement do not allow the relocation of the transmission poles onto nearby planter boxes. A new easement needs to be granted to CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Metrolink Station Expansion March 7, 2001 Page 2 the Southern California Edison Company so that the transmission lines can be realigned and the transmjssjon poles relocated. Upon completion of the realignment and relocation, Southern California Edison Company will quit claim their original easement through the project site.

Equestdan Trails. All new residential development within the Equestrian/Rural area designated by the General Plan shall require local feeder trail easements for equestrian purposes, to provide access to the rear of all lots. All non-residential development within the Equestrian/Rural area shall require local feeder trail easements for equestrian purposes where it is determined by the Exhibit A - Z 17.08-33 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 08. 090 Spacing for right-of-way widths, street sections, street radii, and intersections are to conform to the Street Design Policy available from the Engineering Division. f. Comer lots are to be wider than interior lots. g. Relate lots and streets to one another to create neighborhoods. Relate development to adjacent development relative to street design and lot pattem. i. Avoid long flag lots, key lots, and lots which side on to the rear of other lots. If the tract is bordered or surrounded by undeveloped land, prepare a conceptual subdivision plan for those properties to indicate that logical circulation and drainage can occur. k. Avoid double-frontage lots on intedor streets. Four-way intersections are generally preferred over offset "T' type on collector or larger streets. m. Avoid four-way, local-to-local intersections. n. Intersections, including knuckles, are to be perpendicular (radial on curves). o. The maximum length for cul-cle-sacs is 600 feet for single-family and 300 feet for multi-family developments. p. Local streets are to be a minimum of 150 feet apart. Align intersections with existing streets or provide adequate spacing between intersections. Only use pdvate streets where through traffic is not necessap/and where the private street is gated. For private, gated entrances, provide adequate turn-around space in front of the gate and a separate visitor lane with call box to avoid cars stacking into the public right- of-way. D. BuildinQ Desicln. Deskin Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established which is compatible with surrounding planned or existing developments and should be based upon prominent design features in the immediate area (e.g., trees, landforms, histodc landmarks). Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall character of the immediate neighborhood. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high quality and harmonious community appearence. 2. Architecture. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including harmonious building style, form, size, color, matedal, and roof line. Individual dwelling units should be distinguishable from one another and have separate entrances. Exhibi t A .-_,2 17,08-53 6/99 Rancho Cucarnonga Development Code Section 17. 08. 090 Shadow patterns created by architectural elements such as overhangs, projection or recession of stodes, balconies, reveals, and awnings contribute to a building's character while aiding in climate control. Further, changes in the roof level Or planes provide architectural interest. In particular, Low-Medium and multi-family residential development should be designed with upgraded architecture through increased delineation of surface treatment and architectural details. The architectural concept should also complement the grading and topography of the site. The City of Rancho Cucamonga seeks well thought out design solutions which reflect the best of a particular style, respect the community's hedtage, and relate well to their surroundings. The following guidelines should be considered: a. Provide architectural treatment to all elevations (i.e., 360-degree architecture). b. If the front of a house is sided, then provide siding to the other sides of the house. Consider compatibility with surrounding architectural character, including harmonious building style, form, height, size, color, material, and roof line. Develop individual expressions within single buildings in harmony with the neighborhood. Refrain from architectural gimmicks that sacdfice the integrity of the streetscape to a single structure. Roof lines are cdtical to the visual impact of a home. Provide roof lines which respond to the general design of other roofs along the street. f Vary rnnf massing and/orheights~on I~rg~r h. lildiOgS Upgrade design treatment of carport structures to reflect the architectural design of the dwelling units. h. Enhance architectural elements exposed to public view. Vary roof designs along rear elevations of units backing up to perimeter streets to provide a pleasant and varied streetscape. Coordinate exterior building design on all elevations from building-to-building to achieve the same level of design quality. On small lot subdivisions, avoid diverse architectural styles. Keep the design statement, materials, and details consistent. The use of mixed, incompatible architectural styles is strongly discouraged. For example, a Cape Cod style is incompatible with a Spanish style. Choose colors consistent with the chosen design theme. Avoid "trendy" colors which become quickly outdated. Low-key and earth-tone colors work best for primary colors; use of more vibrant colors should be limited to accents. m. Provide lockable storage spaces for multiple family units. n. Use 2.-car garages with bonus room on some floor plans or off set the third car space to avoid garages which dominate the streetscape. For multi-family projects, garages should be amhitecturally designed to compliment tl~e residences; consider varying the door treatment on multiple garage structures. Exhi bit A - ~ 17,08-54 6/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 08. 090 o. One-story massing is preferred on corner side yards. Shadow patterns created by architectural elements such as overhangs, trellises, reveals and recesses, and awnings contribute to a building's character while aiding in climate control. Avoid identical or similar elevation schemes plotted on adjacent lots or across the street from one another. r. Avoid identical color schemes plotted on adjacent lots. Integrate screens for all roof-mounted equipment into the building design (i.e., extend parapet walls) rather than as an afterthought. t. Design roof line in conjunction with building mass for consistent composition. On hillsides, design the form, mass, and profile of buildings and architectural features so as to compliment the natural topography. v. Use native rock for fieldstone. Other forms of stone may be manufactured products. w. Design chimney stacks with accent materials used on the house, such as brick or stone, except on interior chimneys. Use roofing material made of tile, slate, copper, or the imitation thereof, but not-including composition-shingles;-that will upgrade the character and the visual qua~ty of the structure. Scale. The mass and scale of the building should be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations, and surrounding developments. Setbacks and overall heights should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multiple family product type (i.e., apartment, condominium, townhouse) is discouraged immediately adjacent to lower density single family areas. All attached projects adjacent to existing one-sto~J single family developments shall be one story, unless the impact of two-story structures on the existing one-story neighborhood is fully mitigated with emphasis on privacy, views, and general compatibility. Buildings should emphasize horizontal as well as vertical appearance. This could be achieved by the use of projections or recessions of stories, balconies, windows and doors, and changes in roof levels and planes. In particular for multiple family product type, buildings over three stories should consider stepping back. Matedals and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. The matedais and colors chosen should complement the building character and enhance the visual quality. Siqninq. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement, sign scale in relationship with building, and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. EQuipment ScreeninQ. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally compatible in terms Exh i b i t A - J~' 17.08-55 6/99 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AMENDING CHAPTER 8.21 PERTAINING TO THE REGULATION OR PROHIBITION OF SMOKING AND AMENDING THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

Related Files: Variance 00-09 and Tree Removal Permit 00.41. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal filed in opposition to the project and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission approving the development review and variance applications. BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission reviewed the subject development review and vadance applications on January 10, 2001 and January 24, 2001. The January 10th meeting was continued to allow staff time to obtain and review Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's) for Tract 10035 (the subject tract) due to public testimony claiming the project violated view preservation provisions of the CC&R's. Staff reviewed the CC&R's and found that the view preservation provisions restrict homes to a height of 24 feet above the mid-point of the curb line elevation. The plans for the project were CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-47 AND VARIANCE 00-09 APPEAL - CONCORDIA HOMES March 7, 2001 Page 2 found to be in compliance with this restriction, contrary to public testimony. The Planning Commission approved the subject development review and variance applications at their January 24th meeting by a vote of 4 to 1. Commissioner Tolstoy voted against the project, stating that he had a concern for the maintenance of the large slope areas proposed. It should be noted that the applicant, Concordia Homes, intends to establish a Homeowner's Association that will handle maintenance of the slope areas. Furthermore, the entire site is one large sloped area, whether the slopes are left in their existing condition or graded per the applicant's development proposal, they will still have to be maintained once homes are built. The manufactured slopes are what allow this development to locate most of the homes below or barely above the existing curb elevation, thus maximizing view preservation. Lynn and Renee Massey filed the subject appeal in a timely fashion on February 5, 2001. ANALYSIS: The Massey's pose the following points in their appeal: "The elevation of homes does not follow the original elevation of the filed plans in 1987. Those plans call for the view of lots north of the development not to be unreasonably obstructed." Response: The question of the 1987 project is moot because the approval has expired. Staff has reviewed the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract 10035 approved in 1987 as well as the Conditions of Approval and conceptual plans for "Design Review for Tract 10035" approved by the Planning Commission in January of 1987. There are no Conditions of Approval that pertain to view preservation. Review of the 1987 conceptual plans indicates a split-level home design; however, all of the homes in the project were designed to take direct access off of Camino Predera, and those plotted across the street from the Massey's ranged in height from approximately 18 to 24 feet above the Camino Predera curb line (see Exhibit "B"). While a home with a roofiine that is 18 feet above the curb line would technically be lower than the 24-foot high homes proposed by Concordia, the homes proposed in 1987 were plotted much closer to the street, which places greater building mass closer to the Massey's. "The new Concordia Home plans are now 25 feet higher and will obstruct the total view of our property toward the valley." Response: It is assumed that the Massey's are referring to the previous 1987 approval. As noted above, the 1987 approval had homes across from the Massey's property that ranged in height from 18 to 24 feet above the curb line. The current request by Concordia proposes homes up to 24 feet above the curb line consistent with the CC&R's for the tract; therefore, the difference in home elevation between the current proposal and the previous 1987 approval ranges from zero to six feet. All of the homes in the 1987 approval were higher than the existing curb line by 18 to 24 feet; whereas, the current proposal only 8 of the 20 homes plotted such that the roofiines are above or slightly above (four feet) the existing curb line. It is also significant that the Massey's home, and all homes along the north side of Camino Predera are elevated above the street which further diminishes any view impact. When the project is considered as a whole the current proposal far exceeds the 1987 project in terms of view preservation. "The old plans were for split-level homes with part of the home cut into the slope of the property. This would keep with the consistency of the existing homes on the street." CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 0047 AND VARIANCE 00-09 APPEAL - CONCORDIA HOMES March 7, 2001 Page 3 Response: The appellant is correct, the home plans associated with the 1987 approval were of a split-level design and this certainly would be consistent with the existing homes along this stretch of Camino Predera (see Exhibit "B"). The currently proposed homes also have split-level foundations; however, the range of elevation split is approximately 3 feet compared to the 1987 approval, which has splits of 9 to 10 feet. The virtue of the greater split is not view preservation, but reduction in the amount of grading necessary to accommodate the homes. While the current proposal has far less foundation splits than the 1987 approval and involves more grading, the end result is that 12 of the 20 homes are plotted such that the roofiines are below, very near or slightly above (four feet) the existing curb line. Again, when taken as a whole, the current proposal far exceeds the 1987 project in terms of view preservation. "The new Concordia homes will be a traditional two-story style, which is not consistent with the current adjacent neighborhood." Response: The currently proposed homes are all two-story and they do have traditional styles. The home design was subject to substantial negotiation through the design review process. The Planning Commission and the Design Review Committee were not willing to accept anything less than the best home design because these homes will be visible from so many different directions. There are essentially no elevations that will be "hidden" as with typical fiat land tract homes. The Commission and Design Review Committee wanted the homes to appear to be custom built rather than have a tract home appearance. They wanted all sides of the homes to have the same level of architectural quality. Concordia's proposed homes exhibit true 360-degree architectural quality, so much so that it is difficult to tell which is the front or rear of a given home (the garage door is the only clue). There is substantial color and material variation, that combined with the variety of architectural styles fosters, a custom appearance. There are two-story homes in the neighborhood. "The elevations in the drawings given to me by Concordia Homes are not correct or misleading. The height of the homes on lots 2 - 4 is not correct; the elevations on the drawing of the same lot on the same drawing are different with top and side views." Response: The appellant provided a clarification of this item regarding Concordia's sight line plans for Lots 2 and 3, which are directly across the street from the Massey's. Staff has rechecked these plans in light of the appellant's comments and finds that in almost all cases, the plans are accurate and correct; however, there is one discrepancy. The sight line section for Lot 2 on Sheet 7B shows the home foundation approximately 10 feet lower than the plan indicates. In this case, the plan is correct and the sight line section is wrong. The information on Sheet 7B was not presented to the Design Review Committee nor the Planning Commission. Staff found the view-shed analysis that shows the front (north view) of the homes relative to the Camino Predera curb line as viewed from the north to be more useful to analyze view impacts of the project, and this was the exhibit relied upon for Design Review Committee and Planning Commission review of the project. This view-shed analysis has been reviewed and accurately reflects the project. "If these drawings are wrong and misleading, what other aspects of the submitted plans to Planning Commission and staff are wrong and misleading?" Response: The applicant has fully cooperated with the City to provide a set of development plans that accurately and comprehensively portray this project. An exhaustive view impact analysis was performed to clearly show what views would and would not be impacted. The plans were reviewed by City staff, the City's Civil Engineering consultant, and the Grading Committee. With the exception of the above item regarding a sight line cross section for one lot, the plans are accurate. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 0047 AND VARIANCE 00-09 APPEAL - CONCORDIA HOMES March 7, 2001 Page 4 The appellant also claims that the project alters the CC&R's for the tract. As stated previously, the CC&R's view provision limits homes to 24 feet above the curb line, and the Concordia Homes proposal fully conforms with this limitation. ALTERNATIVES: In light of the one error in the plans as noted above under item 5, the City Council may wish to request that the Planning Commission review the project again with this item corrected. Staff is of the opinion that the issue is minor; that other exhibits within the development package accurately reflect the view shed impacts related to the project. The Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission relied upon these plans, not the one with the error, for their deliberation and decision. 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.

There are a few reasons I feel it should be changed, they are as follows: ~:e: 1. The elevation of the homes does not follow the original elevation of the filed plans in 1987. Those plans call for the view of the lots north of the development not to be unreasonably obstructed. 2. The new Concordia Homes plans are now 25 feet higher and will obstruct the total view of our property toward the valley. 3. The old plans were for split-level homes with part of the home cut into the slop of the property. This would keep with the consistency of the existing homes on the street. 4. The new Concordia Homes will be a traditional two-story style, which is not consistent with the current adjacent neighborhood. 5. The elevations in the drawings given to me by Concordia Homes are not correct or mis-leading. The height of homes on lots 2-4 is not correct. The elevations on the drawings of the same lot on the same drawing are different with top and side views. 6. If these drawings am wrong and mis-leading what other aspects of the submitted plans to planning commission and staff, are wrong and misleading. Please review this information. I feel the original plans elevation should be followed as not to unreasonably obstruct our view with this new development. The CC&R's were drawn upon the original plans and allowed for view preservation. The new builder has been allowed to alter the scope and frameworks of the plans thus altering the CC&Rs. Renee A.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-47 (TRACT NO. 10035) - CONCORDIA HOMES - The Design Review of building elevations and detailed site plan for 20 existing lots within approved Tract 10035 on 15.7 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located on the south side of Camino Predera, south of Red Hill Country Club Drive - APN: 207-641-01 through 10 and 207-631-01 through 11. Related Files: Variance 00-09 and Tree Removal Permit 00-41. j% BACKGROUND: These items were continued from the January 10, 2001, meeting to provide staff the time to obtain and review Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) forTract 10035. This was as a result of testimony from property owners that the CC&Rs include view preservation provisions that they believe are contrary to the development proposal. A copy of the CC&Rs is attached. ANALYSIS: The CC&Rs contain view obstruction provisions (see Article II, Section 2.04). This section states, "the maximum roof height of Lots 1 to 21, inclusive, shall not exceed twenty-four (24) feet above top of curb at the center of the lot." The proposed grading and home design have been analyzed in light of this restriction. All homes except for those on Lots 19 and 20 are in conformance with the 24-foot height limit. The homes on Lots 19 and 20 were found to be a mere 3 to 4 inches above the maximum height limit. The applicant has revised the grading and plotting of homes on Lots 19 and 20 to lower the homes 6 inches to comply with the 24-foot height limit.' Note that twelve of the twenty homes are designed to be 8 feet to 41 feet BELOW the 24-foot maximum height limit. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47-Concordia Homes January 24,2001 Page 2 The issue of view preservation was a major item of discussion during the Planning Commission Workshop and the Design Review meetings on the project. The project design and grading has undergone numerous significant changes in response to staff comments and neighborhood concerns regarding sight lines. Upon completion of the Design Review process, it was determined that the applicant had done an exemplary job of preserving views wherever possible. This is exemplified in light of the 24-foot maximum height limit established by the CC&Rs, as a majority of the lots are so far below this limit. Although the City has no authority to enforce private CC&Rs, staff believes that the project, as redesigned, fully complies with the CC&Rs. CORRESPONDENCE: The Variance was advertised as a public hearing for the January 10, 2001, Planning Commission meeting 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. At the January 10, 2001, meeting, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing for two weeks. Staff received a follow-up letter from a resident in opposition to the project and also attached is a letter provided to the Commission at the last meeting because it was received too late to be included with the January 10, 2001, staff report (Exhibit "C"). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review 00-47, Variance 00-09, and Tree Removal Permit 00-41 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions and with issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Surely a better result for all adjacent property owners would be to build a style of home on these lots more in keeping with the fezrain--single main story, with a lower floor down the slope. This was done for many homes on Red Hill Country Club Drive, as well as for the Red Hill Condos which adjoin the development to the West to not intrude into neighbors' sight lines. If you do not move to require low-profile homes on these lots, it appears we have little de{ense available to us except purchase of Lot 1 ~rom Concordla-as CommiSSioner Marmerino suggested at the hearing. For us, it would be a real financial challenge, having to spend $175,000 for a lot we'd need to develop ourselves in order to recover. Thank you {or your consideration.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-0807 Re: Variance 00-09 (Tract 10035); Environmental Assessment and Development Review 00-47 - Concordia Homes Dear Brent: This is as a follow-up to previous discussions with you, John Snell of Concordia Homes and a neighborhood meeting with adjacent property owners the end of last week at our home. It is our understanding the project submittal is seeking approval of 20 production homes and a variance from the City's Hillside Grading Ordinance requirements to facilitate the proposed development. As a result of this activity, we are requesting Planning Commission consideration and favorable determination of the following at the January 10, 2001, Public Hearing for the referenced project: Street Tree Deletion: We are requesting that the street trees (Albizia J. 'Rosea'/Silk Tree) shown on the project Conceptual Landscape Plan for Camino Predera be deleted from the plan. We are asking that this area be planted with low growing Xeriscape materials more in keeping with the existing hillside contour of this street. Slope and Yard Tree Replacement: We are requesting that the Platanus Acerifolia 'Bloodhound'/London Plane and Schinus Molle/California Pepper trees shown on the Conceptual Landscape Plan be replaced with low growing trees or shrubs that will reduce canopy impact for existing views enjoyed by adjacent property owners in the area. Grading Study Options Review: We are requesting that the developer modify the project to incorporate Grading Study Phase 1 - Lots 1 Through 5 Option 3 that they prepared and provided to adjacent property owners before our recent neighborhood meeting. This Option 3 will provide for the following pad grade changes: Lot 3 reduced to 39.2' below top of curb; Lot 4 reduced to 35' below top of curb; and Lot 5 reduced to 44' below top of curb. The homeowner living in the existing residence located at the Southwest corner of Red Hill Country Club and Camino Predera continues to express his concerns about the impact of development of Lot 1 on his property. He has requested that careful consideration be given to reducing the profile of the home contemplated for construction on Lot 1. We are sensitive to his continuing concern, as he has lived in his home before the original custom lot subdivision was approved by the City. Pad Grade and Building Hei.clht Certification: The project developer has prepared and provided various exhibits that depict conceptual grade and related line-of-sight illustrations for residents impacted by the proposed project development. We are requesting that the developer provide adjacent property owners with section exhibits that clearly depict the project pad grade and top of residential structures in relationship to Camino Predera top of curb. As we discussed at our neighborhood meeting, we are looking forward to development of quality homes for what we believe is the last good opportunity to develop on Red Hill. As you will recall, the tract in question is part of what was originally a custom lot subdivision that was adversely affected by an economic downturn some years back. A component of this subdivision is Conditions Covenants and Restrictions (CC&R's) that were recorded with the original tract. These CC&R's provide for architectural and landscape design review by the property owners and provide for consideration of view preservation and protection for the property owners in the original tract. While we are supportive of a quality development endeavor, we want to ensure that the CC&R provisions pertinent to the referenced project review are respected as part of consideration and deliberation for any approval action contemplated by the City. Thank you for your continuing courteous and professional assistance with this matter of considerable importance to the adjacent property owners. We also want to acknowledge the courtesy and cooperation also extended by John Snell on behalf of Concordia Homes with this process. We believe that this cooperative spirit will result in a project approval that all adjacent residents can and will support. Please feel free to contact me at your eadiest opportunity should you have any questions or need of additional information concerning this matter. Sincerely, Charles J.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North - Vacant land and single-family homes; Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) South- Abandoned Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way, vacant land, and Foothill Boulevard; Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) and Office and Public land use districts of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan East Single-family homes; Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) West Single-family homes; Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) North - Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) South - Community Trail within former Pacific Electric Railway corridor East Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) West - Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes January 10, 2001 Page 2 C. Site Characteristics: The project site has steep grades ranging from approximately 8 percent to 32 percent; hence, is subject to the Hillside Development regulations. The current Hillside Development regulations prohibit development of land in excess of 30 percent gradient but the site was subdivided prior to adoption of these regulations. All of the lots within the tract have frontage on Camino Predera to the north and all but five back onto the Pacific Electdc Railway railroad right-of-way that will eventually accommodate a regional multi-purpose trail. BACKGROUND: Final Tract Map 10035 was recorded in 1985. That portion of the subdivision on the south side of Camino Predera contained 21 lots. The applicant proposes to reduce the number of lots to 20. A condition of approval requires a lot line adjustment process to accomplish the reduction in lots. This site has been the subject of several Planning Commission workshops with different developers. The proposed project was presented in a Planning Commission Workshop on February 23, 2000 (Exhibit "M"). At the most recent workshop, the Commission provided the following direction: A. It is recognized that steep slopes and high retaining walls are necessary to accommodate the development given the steep terrain on the site; however, reduce retaining wall height as much as possible. The developer showed the Commission retaining walls as high as 15 feet at the workshop. The current plans include 10-foot high retaining walls. B. Mitigate the appearance of high retaining walls by use of creative landscaping. Ce Include a one-story home plan. Preserve views for existing homeowners to the degree possible. It is acceptable to have no street trees along Camino Predera if that would help preserve views for existing homes. The Commission is willing to accept a minimal (3 foot) step in the home foundations so long as the overall quality of the project is commensurate with the eventual home values given the prime view location. ANALYSIS: General: The homes are tastefully designed and include 3 feet of elevation difference in the foundations to accommodate the terrain. Three home plans are proposed, each with 3 to 4 elevation types. The homes range in size from 2,759 square feet to 3,359 square feet. The homes are all two story with hip style roofs to preserve views. The homes have been designed to appear as though they are custom homes as opposed to typical tract homes. The homes exhibit true 360-degree architectural quality so much so that it is difficult to tell the difference between front and rear elevations except for garage doors. The project will have a minor impact on views of the valley for existing homeowners on Camino Predera. The applicant has provided view-shed cross sections to show these view impacts. The project will also impact views of the site from the south because of the substantial number of trees that are to be removed and because of the visual prominence of the site. The homes on Lots 1 through 5, 16, and 17 will have 6- to 7-foot high sound walls along the top of the slope in their rear yard areas. The bottom 3 feet of these walls is proposed to be decorative masonry with the remainder constructed of glass panels to preserve PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47-Concordia Homes JanuaW 10,2001 Page 3 views. These sound walls will provide a barrier between the future homeowner's useable rear yard area and the remaining slope area beyond which may result in property maintenance issues. Staff suppods the developer's proposal that a homeowner's association be established to maintain these slope areas. Desiqn Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on October 3, 2000 (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman). The Committee requested that the project be revised to reduce retaining wall height, lower pad grades as much as possible, and provide a custom home appearance with high quality 360 degree architecture. The revised plans were reviewed again by the Committee on November 14, 2000, (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) and the Committee requested further architectural refinement of the homes. The project was reviewed again on December 5, 2000, (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) and the Committee recommended approval. The Committee believes that the developer has exceeded all of the Planning Commission's design expectations. Referto the attached Design Review Action Agendas for further details (Exhibit "L"). Technical Review Committee: The Technical and Grading Review Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. Variance: A Variance is necessary to allow development of the site as proposed with retaining walls as high as 10 to 11 feet and slopes as steep as 1.5:1 (1 foot of vertical rise per 1.5 feet of horizontal run or 66 percent slope). The Variance is necessary due to the steepness of the site and the shape of the existing lots. The Variance is also necessary to lower house pad grades to preserve views for existing homeowners to the degree possible along Camino Predera. In many areas, the site is in excess of 30 percent natural slope falling directly away from the street. This means that for a given area of 30 percent slope, the terrain must be more than doubled in steepness to accommodate a reasonably flat area for placement of a home, yard, and driveway. The alternative would be to either use drastically raised foundations on top of a pier system or stepped foundations. In either case, the amount of vertical foundation change in a typical 80 foot deep home built on a 30 percent slope would be approximately 24 feet. This would still not include any flat area for driveways or yard areas. It would be an unnecessary physical hardship if a developer were required to provide this degree of vertical step in home foundations due to the extreme cost involved. Furthermore, the resulting homes would be difficult to market with such extreme changes in foundation elevation. The steephess and overall topography of the site are also exceptional circumstances not applicable to a majority of other properties in the Low Residential District. Strict or literal interpretation of the requirement for 2:1 slopes and 4-foot high retaining walls would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by owners of other properties in this district who are able to develop their properties with reasonable and normal grading and home construction techniques. This would not constitute a granting of special privilege because the site is not proposed to be developed with overly large homes or excessive density but instead with reasonably sized single-family homes. Specialized slope stabilization methods, specialized wall construction with walls that can accommodate landscaping on their surfaces, decorative block, and intensified landscaping offset any potential detriment to public health, safety, or welfare. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes January 10, 2001 Page 4 Tree Removal Permit: The site contains 32 mature Eucalyptus trees, a row of Silk Oak trees along the railroad right-of-way, 1 Coast Live Oak, 1 California Pepper, and 1 Brazilian Pepper, which will be removed to accommodate the proposed project. An Arbor/st Report was prepared by Jim Borer (dated June 29, 2000) for the project to assess the number, condition, and value of the existing trees. The report found that while the trees offer an appealing common canopy, none of the specimens are individually outstanding or unique. Many of the trees are extremely mature and represent a clear risk of shedding large limbs during heavy winds. The Silk Oak trees are planted too close to one another and are stunted in size and form from their natural disposition to grow. The trees do provide an aesthetic resource, as they are visible from Foothill Boulevard. Tree replacement with project landscaping will in time provide a similarly aesthetic resource and if anything, will enhance natural aesthetics because of the large number of trees and HOA maintenance and upkeep of the trees. Environmental Assessment: There are potential impacts related to noise, geological hazards, tree removal, and air quality. The site is subject to noise from Foothill Boulevard traffic. A noise study was conducted which establishes minimum solid wall heights for certain lots and upgrading window installation to mitigate traffic noise. The site falls within the City's Red Hill Fault Zone so a Geotechnical and Fault investigation was required forthe project. The study found that development of the site as proposed is feasible if certain construction and grading design techniques are used. The City required independent third party review of the Geotechnical Study and this review confirmed the findings and recommended mitigation as being accurate and adequate. There are several trees on the site, which will be removed to accommodate the project. While the trees do offer some aesthetic value, none of them are of exceptional quality and project landscaping will mitigate their removal. Finally, there may be air quality impacts during grading of the site. There is a series of mitigation measures derived from Air Quality Management District requirements, which will reduce air quality impacts to less than significant. With the recommended mitigation measures, all potential environmental impacts are reduced to a level of less than significant. If the Planning Commission concurs, issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is in order. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting on December 18, 2000, and 12 surrounding homeowners were in attendance. The primary concerns were as follows: None of the homes should take access off of Cam/no Predera. This will increase traffic in the neighborhood. Why are there any driveways on Cam/no Predera and why are they so steep? Cam/no Predera provides the only public street access to the site. These are existing lots of record; no subdivision request is before the Planning Commission. The homes will generate some increase in local traffic but this will not be in excess of the per home traffic generated by the existing homes. Only 9 out of 20 lots are proposed with driveways on Cam/no Predera. A majority of the lots will take access off of one common drive. This is a unique design solution, which allows the majority of homes to be located well below the level of Cam/no Predera, thus preserving views for the existing homeowners. The five lots at the western end of the site as well as the three lots at the eastern end cannot be reasonably accessed from this common driveway without provision of substantial grading and retaining walls (as high as 21 feet). This would be inconsistent with the intent of the Hillside Ordinance to reduce grading as much as PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes January 10, 2001 Page 5 possible. The driveways off of Camino Predera are as steep as 15 pement to allow the pads to be as low as possible to preserve views to the degree possible. 2. Why can't the site take access off of another street? The only available public street access for the site is off of Camino Predera. This is consistent with the intent of the original subdivision. It would be unreasonable to require the developer to extend San Bernardino Road westerly due to grade differential, separate property ownerships, and bridges that would be required over the flood control channel and rail corridor. Again, this is moot because the tract was already recorded and the application only deals with the design review of the homes. 3. Are the existing trees going to be removed? Yes, there is no reasonable way to develop the lots without removing the existing trees. While the trees offer some aesthetic value, this will be more than offset by project landscaping. 4. Is the building height in conformance with the Hillside Standards? Yes, the homes are weft within the 30-foot building envelope established by the Hillside Development Standards. The project is also in conformance with side yard setbacks. Can the street trees along Camino Predera be relocated further down slope to preserve existing views? Yes, in fact, this issue was discussed at the Planning Commission Workshop and it was decided that this would make sense for preserving views. A condition of approval will require that there be no street trees along Camino Predera. Where will all the coyotes and rabbits go when the project is developed? Will someone trap the animals for relocation? The project will displace the wildlife that may currently inhabit the site just as the existing homes displaced wildlife when they were built. There is undeveloped land to the west and south where animals may move to. The site is not indicated as supporting habitat for any sensitive or endangered species. The developer is encouraged to provide the concerned homeowners with a schedule for when the site will be cleared and grubbed so that the homeowners may initiate any trapping and relocation efforts they feel is necessary. The applicant has verbally agreed to permit entrance to the site for such trapping efforts. 7. What's the price range for these homes? According to Concordia, the homes will start at approximately $350,000. 8. When will construction start? According to Concordia, grading will begin towards the first part of summer 2001 with home construction in fall of 2001. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VA 00-09, DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes January 10, 2001 Page 6 9. Will there be a homeowners' association? Yes, a homeowners' association will be necessary to ensure maintenance of the common driveway as well as maintenance of the large slope areas. 10. Is the grading "balanced" for the site? No, the site will require 15,000 to 30,000 cubic yards of fill material to be imported. CORRESPONDENCE: The Variance was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Dailv Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site. On January2, 2001, staff received one letter from a resident in opposition to the project (Exhibit "O"). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review 00-47, Vadance 00-09, and Tree Removal Permit 00-41 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions and with issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

This project is the remainder of a subdivision of 38 lots that was recorded in May of 1981. This site, like most of the Redhill area, is subject to development under the Hillside Development Regulations. Because of the shape of our lots, the topography of the site and our surroundings the strict application of the Hillside Development Regulations would deprive our property the privileges enjoyed by other properties in the area which are also under the Hillside Development Regulations. The granting of this variance will enable this site to develop to the same extent as others have enjoyed in this same vicinity. The granting of this variance will enable the development of this property for single family development for which the current zoning is intended. We have incorporated some design features to offset or mitigate the potential negative impact the granting of this variance might allow. The proposal for development that we have submitted reflects a reduction of one lot, resulting in 20 single family homes. This reduction was made to minimize the slopes and walls that will be required for this development, despite the fact that the final map has been recorded and a right for the development of 21 lots exists. The shape of our project along with the topography create a hardship unique to this project in the immediate area. The area, depth and width of the lots exceed the minimum standards of the zoning ordinance. The elevation differential of the site is over 90 feet from our highest point to the lowest. We have followed the recommendations in the Hillside Development Regulations in the design of our proposal. We have sloped the yards to follow the existing topography. We have introduced steps in our buildings that also follow the existing terrain. We are also proposing to give up one of our lots to minimize the grading and walls. To the extent possible we have aligned our roof lines to follow the slope of the ground. We have also attempted to break up our roof lines. Despite all of these efforts, we still have areas where we are proposing slopes as steep as 1.5: 1 and walls in excess of 3 feet up to 11 feet in two locations. It is our goal to build homes that are comparable to 1131 West Sixth Street · Suite 110 · Ontario, CA 91762 · Tel (909) 988-9000 · Fax (909) 988-5122 WWW.CONCORDiAHOMES.COM those in the area and to have building pads of similar shape and size. The granting of this variance will allow us to meet this goal and allow us to build our lots and homes to the same character that are typical of those in the area. All of our walls over 4 feet in height will be made of attractive block systems that use earth tone colors and a rough surface, "splitface". We will also be incorporating irrigation and planting at intervals of 4 feet vertically on the wall. When mature, the majority of the wall will be covered with plants. Our slopes will also be planted with a combination of ground cover, bushes and trees. This will not only provide for an attractive slope, but will also provide the surface stability necessary for the long term maintenance of the slopes. All slopes over 2:1 will be maintained by the Home Owners Association that we will be establishing for this project. It should be noted that the granting of this variance will allow this property, that has remained undeveloped for so many years, to be completed in charac.ter with the rest of the area. This variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges with the limitations upon other properties in this vicinity and zone. Concor ' Homes of outhem California, Inc.

Desian Parameters: The project site has steep grades ranging from approximately 8% to 32%; hence, is subject to the Hillside Development regulations. The current Hillside Development regulations prohibit development of land in excess of 30% gradient but the site was subdivided prior to adoption of these regulations. All of the lots within the tract have frontage on Camino Predera to the north and all but five back onto an old railroad right of way that will eventually accommodate a trail. The project will impact views of the valley for existing homeowners on Camino Pradera. The applicant has provided view-shed cross sections to show these view impacts. The project will also impact views of the site from the south because of the substantial number of trees that are to be removed and because of the visual prominence of the site. The homes on lots I through 5, 16 and 17 will have 6 to 7-foot high sound walls along the top of the slope in their rear yard areas. The bottom three feet of these walls is proposed to be decorative masonry with the remainder constructed of glass panels to preserve views. These sound walls will provide a barder between the future homeowner's useable rear yard area and the remaining slope area beyond which may result in property maintenance issues. Staff supports the developer's proposal that a homeowner's association be established to maintain these slope areas. The homes are tastefully designed and include 3 feet of elevation difference in the foundations to accommodate the terrain. While this is not nearly enough to truly "fit" the terrain, it is the most foundation stepping the applicant is willing to provide. Three home plans are proposed, each with three to four elevation types. The homes range in size from 2,759 square feet to 3,359 square feet. The homes are all two story with hip style roofs to preserve views. There is less than dramatic differentiation from home to home, especially for side and rear elevations. Pre-Application Review: The project was subject to two workshops with the Planning Commission ......... (~'~e att~chei:l minutes):'At th~ost~e~ht ~'fk~jS, th~C~ffn~i~iorf providdd the 'followifig direction: It is recognized that Steep slopes and high retaining walls are necessary to accommodate the development given the steep terrain on the site. However, reduce retaining wall height as much as possible. The developer showed the Commission retaining walls as high as 15 feet at the workshop. The currant plans include retaining walls as high as 22 feet. 2. Mitigate the appearance of high retaining walls by use of creative landscaping. 3. Include a one-story home plan. Preserve views for existing homeowners to the degree possible. It is acceptable to have no street trees along Camino Predera if that would help preserve views for existing homes. The Commission is willing to accept a minimal (three foot) step in the home foundations so long as the overall quality of the project is commensurate with the eventual home values given the pdme view location, DRC COMMENTS DR 00-47 - CONCORDIA HOMES October 3, 2000 Page 2 Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. 1. Grading: The grading design for the project includes two alternatives: 1 ) off-site grading within the Pacific Electdc Trail railroad corridor along the south of the site, and 2) on-site grading. The proposed off-site grading within the rail corridor appears to respect the minimum of 70 feet needed to accommodate the trail design and future rail of the Pacific Electric Trail corridor (see Sections on Sheet 6). Under the off-site grading alternative, the retaining wall will be 6 feet high. Under the on-site grading alternative, the retaining wall will have to be up to 17 feet high. Both alternatives include substantially high retaining wails on- site up to 22 feet high. It is staff's opinion that the alternative with no off-site grading will have substantial visual impacts as it results in two very high retaining walls in close proximity to one another, visible from Foothill Boulevard. On the other hand, the developer will have to provide a viable means for long term maintenance of the off-site slope/wall area within the rail right-of-way for the other alternative. The high retaining walls are proposed to be of a "Loefelstien" type crib wall. This is e type of wall that has a slight slope to it and has pockets that can be planted with vines or other plants. The developer used this type of wall for Tract 14207 on Beryl Avenue, south of Heritage Park. The wall is now built and landscaped and looks better than a traditional retaining wall. A Variance will be necessary to allow the high walls as the maximum 4-foot height allowed retaining wall height per the Hillside Development regulations is 4 feet. The developer had shown conceptual plans to the Planning Commission at workshops that included a slope stabilization technology referred to as "geo-grid." This has been dropped from the project as the slopes have been reduced from a 1:1 to 1.5:1 slope gradient. However, the Hillside Development regulations allow a maximum slope grade of 2:1; therefore, a Variance is required for the steeper 1.5:1 slope. Further, under the off-site grading alternative, slopes must be maintained by the Homeowners Association. No Variance application has been filed as of this date; hence, staff has not fully analyzed the proposal. 2. View Impacts:' Lower the pad elevations for lots 16 through 21 to preserve views from existing uphill neighbors, as much as possible, or use 1 -story homes. The developer claims that there is insufficient room to accommodate single story home plans given the size of the lots and the amount of grading required. Architecture: Provide stronger 360 degree architecture because the homes will be visually prominent from all angles. Upgrade the side and rear elevations of the homes to have the similar level of architectural detail and quality as the fronts including; increased use of corbels, window treatments (shutters, pot shelves, keystones, and divided light), trim, stone or brick wainscoting, and column treatments. DRC COMMENTS DR 00-47 - CONCORDIA HOMES October 3, 2000 Page 3 Secondan/Issues:. Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. The "loefelstien" walls should be planted with a hardy vine or shrub that will eventually completely cover the walls and irrigated accordingly. The down slope side of the high retaining walls should also be well landscaped to soften the walls. Provide low maintenance landscape plant materials for the slope areas. Provide railroad tie steps or similar means to facilitate maintenance. Home sites with rear yard sound walls such as lots 1 through 5, 16, and 17 will have to have some form of gate or wall opening to permit slope maintenance. Provide cascading vines or similar plant types along the top of retaining wails and train them to cascade down over walls. 3. All manufactured slopes shall have a natural or "contoured" look as opposed to a harsh, angular look. 4. Slope drainage features shall have a naturalized, dry streambed appearance through the use of river reck application. 5. Provide landscape planters around the base of the homes where possible to soften their appearance and reduce visible bulk. PolicV Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All walls shall be decorative masonry (split faced block - both sides) with decorative masonry caps. No wood fencing shall be permitted (even between homes) given the visual prominence of the development. All pilasters shall have river rock or similar treatment on all sides. All river-rock treatment shallbe natural-rive~rock asopposed to manufactured.~/eneer~ Other rock treatment, such as slate, may be of a manufactured product. 3. Provide a minimum of 15 feet of usable rear yard depth at the rear of all homes. 4. Provide additional landscaping (additional trees, large sized trees and shrubs) along the south down slope side of the homes to screen down slope elevations. Staft Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and brought back for further review. Desieln Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count DRC COMMENTS DR 00-47 - CONCORDIA HOMES October 3, 2000 Page 4 The Committee requested that the project be redesigned and brought back for further review subject to staff's comments and the following additional comments: The Committee is in favor of using variation in slope gradient in order to reduce the height of the 22-foot high retaining wall. Lower the pad elevations on Lots 16 and 17 by utilizing the sewer access easement as access similar to lots to the west. 3. Lower the pad elevatioNhome elevation of Lot 18 by providing longer, steeper driveway. Significantly upgrade the architectural design of the homes to provide 360-degree architecture and greater differentiation from home-to-home. Homes should have a custom look as opposed to tract home appearance. Provide a mix of architectural styles. Provide divided light windows throughout. Provide second story balconies on rear elevations. Use upgraded building materials (stone, brick, etc.) on all elevations. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 p.m. Brent Le Count November 14, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-47 (TRACT NO. 10035) - CONCORDIA HOMES - The Design Review of building elevations and detailed site plan for 21 existing lots within approved Tract 10035 on 15.7 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre), located on the south side of Camino Pradera south of Red Hill Country Club Drive- APN: 207-641-01 through 10, 207-631-01 through 11. Backqround: The Committee reviewed the project on October 3, 2000 and requested that the project be revised and brought back for further review. The Committee had the following comments: The Committee is in favor of using variation in slope gradient in order to reduce the height of the 22-foot high retaining wall. The applicant was able to reduce the height of the 22-foot high retaining wall down to 10.5 feet by utilizing a variable slope gradient and by introducing retaining wall terraces on the slopes. The current wall configuration is a lO-foot wall along the south edge of the site (within the rail road right-of-way), a lO.5-foot high wall along the mid portion of the site (previously 22 feet high), and scattered segments of 2- to 6-foot high retaining walls throughout the slopes. The grading has also been contoured to have a more natural, rounded appearance. Lower the pad elevations on Lots 16 and 17 by utilizing the sewer access easement as access similar to lots to the west. The project has been revised to lower the pad elevations for Lots 16 and 17 substantially. The homes on these lots will now utilize the sewer easement as suggested by the Committee. 3. Lower the pad elevation/home elevation of Lot .18 by providing longer, steeper driveway. The driveway has been steepenned to approximately 9 percent grade and the garage sits about a foot below the level of Camino Predera. The Hillside Development Ordinance allows a maximum driveway grade of 20 percent, which would allow the garage to be lowered an additional 3 feet. Significantly upgrade the architectural design of the homes to provide 360-degree architecture and greater differentiation from home-to-home. Homes should have a custom look as opposed to tract home appearance. Provide a mix of architectural styles. Provide divided light windows throughout. Provide second-story balconies on rear elevations. Use upgraded building materials (stone, brick, etc.) on all elevations. The revised architecture has been minimally upgraded with some window treatment (shutters and pot shelves on some windows), some rear waft change of plane, and the use of an occasional second story balcony. Staff is of the opinion that substantially more enhancement is necessary to provide true 360-degree architectural qua~ty, as there are still substantial areas of blank stucco walls. The homes still have a very tract-like appearance. There is substantial room to provide greater differentiation from home-to-home (custom appearance) by changing architectural styles, use of divided light windows, and material upgrades. Upgrade DRC COMMENTS DR 00-47 - CONCORDIA HOMES November 14, 2000 Page 2 the side and rear elevations of the homes to have the similar level of architectural detail and quality as the fronts. The rear elevation of the Plan 3 homes comes closest to the desired level of detailing. With the addition of upgraded building materials and divided light windows the rear elevation of Plan 3 serves as a good example for the remaining plan side and rear elevation treatment. Outstandinq Secondan/Issues: The following issues have not been addressed in the revised plans but staff is of the opinion that they can be conditions of approval once an acceptable level of architectural design is achieved: Reduce the elevation of the pad for Lot 18 by increasing the driveway grade to the maximum grade allowed, 20 percent if possible. The "loefelstien" walls should be planted with a hardy vine or shrub that will eventually completely cover the walls and irrigated accordingly. The down slope side of the high retaining walls should also be well landscaped to soften the walls. Provide low maintenance landscape plant materials forthe slope areas. Provide railroad tie steps or similar means to facilitate maintenance. Home sites with rear yard sound walls such as Lots 1 through 5, 16, and 17 will have to have some form of gate or wall opening to permit slope maintenance. Provide cascading vines or similar plant types along the top of retaining walls and train them to cascade down over walls. The manufactured slopes on Lots 1,2, and 3 shall have a natural or "contoured" look as opposed to a harsh, angular look. Slope drainage features shall have a naturalized, dry streambed appearance through the use of river rock application. Provide landscape planters around the base of the homes where possible to soften their appearance and reduce visible bulk. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: All walls shall be decorative masonry (split faced block - both sides) with decorative masonry caps. No wood fencing shall be permitted (even between homes) given the visual prominence of the development. All pilasters shall have river rock or similar treatment on all sides. All river rock treatment shall be natural river rock as opposed to manufactured veneer. Other rock treatment, such as slate, may be of a manufactured product. 3. Provide a minimum of 15 feet of usable rear yard depth at the rear of all homes. Provide additional landscaping (additional trees, large sized trees, and shrubs) along the south/down slope side of the homes to screen downslope elevations. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised in light of the above comments, especially related to home design, and brought back for further review. DRC COMMENTS DR 00-47 - CONCORDIA HOMES November 14, 2000 Page 3 Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee was in favor of the revised grading concept but directed the applicant to revise the architectural design of the homes to provide better 360 degree architecture, more variation from home to home (a custom appearance). The rear elevation of Plan 3C-U is a good example of how rear elevations should be designed. Avoid several homes of the same plan type adjacent to one another. The applicant agreed to restudy the design.

Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Rich Macias, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee reviewed the revised plans and recommended approval subject to the following: 1. The brick veneer on the left elevation of the Plan 3 home shall terminate near the support column by providing a furred out feature for the veneer to die into. 2. The wood siding may be removed from the Plan 2 home at the discretion of the applicant. 3. Avoid use of wood siding on chimneys. Chimneys shall either be stuccoed or covered with stone VeReeF. 4. Any slope drain devices that are visible from surrounding streets or property shall have a naturalized appearance which may include use of river rock to evoke a dry stream bed appearance and colored concrete to visually blend with surrounding landscaping. CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Adjoumed Meeting February 23, 2000 Chairman McNiel called the Adjourned Meeting of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission to order at 7:35 p.m. The meeting was held in the Rains Room at Randno Cucamonga Civic Center, 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California. ROLL CALL COMMISSIONERS: PRESENT: John Mannedno, Larry McNiel, Pare Stewart STAFF PRESENT: ABSENT: Rich Macias, Peter Tolstoy Bred Buller, City Planner; Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer; Brent Le Count, Associate Planner NEW BUSINESS A. pRE-APPLICATION REVIEW 00-02 - CONCORDIA HOMES - Review of grading concepts for 21 lots within approved Tentative Tract 10035 on 15.7 acres of land in the Low Residential Distdct (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located on Camino Predera south of Red Hill Country Club Drive - APN: 207-641-01 through 10 and 207-631-01 through 11. Related File: pre-Application Review 99-04. Bred Buller, City Planner, reviewed the purpose and basic procedures of the pre-application review. John Snell, Vice President, Concordia Homes, introduced himself to the Commission and reviewed the project. He stated that Concordia is now in escrow on the property and needs to decide whether or not to purchase the property. He indicated the purpose of this second meeting was to ascertain whether the Commission would be willing to accept the grading and home design concepts. He explained the greding will include up to a 15 foot high retaining wall along the south property line, 15 foot high Loffelstein walls (which are similar to crib walls and allow some amount of landscaping on the wall surface), and one-to-one slopes in the southwest comer area. He said the one-to-one slopes will be stabilized with a synthetic matedal called geo-grid and they will work with the City's engineering staff to demonstrate structural viability of the slope stabilization method. He reported it will be used to remedy the slope failures at the Padtic golf course and said that is an example of how capable the method is. Mr. Snell recognized the City's concern for ensudng a high level of aesthetic appeal with substantial landscaping and high quality home design. He also recognized neighborhood issues, primarily view preservation and he thought the proposed design minimizes view blockage to the degree possible. He felt the homes will have tasteful design and reported they will step with the pads 2 to 5 feet. Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, reviewed staffs concerns. He indicated that he and Mr. Snell had visited a Concordia project now under construction in Monterey Park that utilizes the geo-grid slope stabilization method. He said that the one-to-one slopes appeared sparsely landscaped with few trees, and that this style of slope landscaping would not be consistent with the City's Hillside Ordinance. He also said that Mr. Snell has assured staff that so long as trees no larger than 15 gallon are used, Concordia can plant as many trees as are required (minimum 1 tree per 150 square feet of slope area). Mr. Le Count reviewed the other issues associated with the project: design; view blockage, high retaining walls, visual impacts to Foothill Boulevard treffic, and steep driveway slopes. Commissioner Stewart said that the developer still needs to satisfy staff and the Commission that the geo-gdd system is viable. She expressed concerns about preserving views as much as possible and recognized that neighbors may have concems. She preferred the 15 foot high retaining wall be lowered as much as possible and said it should be designed to be as visually pleasing as possible. She felt the 20% driveway grade is acceptable because it allows several of the lots to have homes set far below street level which will preserve views. Commissioner Stewart liked the architectural design of the homes but felt a one story home plan should be included. Commissioner Mannerino stated he is open to the use of the geo-gdd but that the developer would have to resolve viability issues. He acknowledged that the City does not have a view preservation ordinance but he felt the developer should preserve exjsting views as much as possible. He thought not having street trees would be acceptable to that end. He indicated he would like to see some sort of Route 66 mural or other historic feature included on the high retaining wall along the south property line. Commissioner Mannerino liked the home design and recognized that an avant-garde engineedng solution is necessary for grading of the site (geo-grid). Chairman McNiel said that the high Loffelstein walls can be obscured with vine planting. He indicated he is in favor of the project. He agreed with Commissioner Mannerino that the developer should give due consideration to view preservation even though the City does not have a view preservation ordinance. He suggested clustering of street trees. He was not in favor of using the high retaining wall along the south property line for Route 66 features. He thought the project appears workable and he supported going forward with it. He concluded by stating that the overall quality of the project should reflect the eventual home prices the developer will be able to charge. Brad Buller, City Planner, summarized the Commission's concerns and comments that the project appears to be viable and the site constraints necessitate a unique style of grading and landscaping to make the lots developable.. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chuck Buquet. neighbor on the north side of Camino Predera was present. He indicated that he looks forward to implementation of the project, and thought it will rid the neighborhood of an attractive nuisance. He felt the project is an opportunity for a high quality development.

A Geotechnical Investigation was performed for the project site by GeoSoils, Inc. (dated July 26, 2000). The report includes review of previous studies conducted by the RMA Group (prepared in 1998), and Gary Rasmusen and Associates (prepared in 1997). The report concludes that the site is suitable for the proposed development from a geotechnical and geologic viewpoint provided that the recommendations presented in the report are incorporated into the design and construction phases of site development. The GeoSoits, Inc. study was reviewed by an independent registered geologist, RGS Geosciences, that validates the findings of the study. f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the project as the site is currently vacant. Grading will be done in accordance with a Grading Plan approved by the City Engineer and in compliance with the recommendations of the GeoSoils, Inc Geotechnical Investigation dated July 26, 2000 (which indicates that slope stability is adequate). With mitigation, the impact is not considered significant. i) The site has slopes up to 30 percent in steephess and is located on the southeast side of the landform known locally as Red Hill. The site topography will be modified to accommodate construction of the homes but the basic sloping trend of the site from north to south will be maintained.

(,/) (,/) ( ) Comments: a) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape proposed on a site which is currently devoid of structures. A Hydrology Report was prepared for the project by Boyle Engineering Corporation, which indicates that the general drainage patterns for the project will emulate the existing drainage patterns and points of discharge. The flows will be conveyed to existing facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows and must be approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. The impact is not considered significant. b-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant has provided a drainage study showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed. f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area because the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

( ) Potentially Signi~car~t Impact Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant NO () () (,/) () () Comments: a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. While the homes anticipated by the project are not expected to have air quality impacts; during construction, there is the possibility that fugitive dust will be generated from grading the site. Sources of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. NOx and PM~0 levels may be exceeded during this phase; however, with implementation of the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less-than-significant levels. The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. Camino Predera shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~0 emissions. m The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on low-emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel-powered equipment where feasible. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in Use. Initial Study for DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 The construction contractor shall ensure that all bare ground surfaces will be sprayed with water or other acceptable dust palliatives to minimize wind erosion and fugitive dust emissions. c-d) The proposed project is the construction of 20 single-family homes on existing lots of record. The homes anticipated by the project will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors. m Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant Impacl Less Polentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant NO TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion?

( ) ( ) f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) (v') () (v) () ( ) (v) Comments: a) The project will increase the number of vehicle trips with development of single- family homes since the site is currently vacant; however, the project does not propose development of the site with a density in excess of that provided for by the Development Code and the General Plan. There is no impact. b-d) Access to the site is provided by Camino Predera. This street allows full access without impeding the through traffic. There is a common driveway proposed to take access to the homes off of Camino Predera. The driveway terminus will be finished with a hammerhead to allow access for emergency vehicles; however, the driveway is very steep at certain points, which will prevent emergency vehicles from entering the site. As mitigation, each of the homes shall be installed with fire sprinklers. e-f) The proposed development will not cause a hazard or barrier to pedestrians or cyclists because adequate points of ingress/egress have been provided. d) Located approximately 3 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes Page 8 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to: Potentially Significant Impact Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mgigafion Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (,/) ( ) ( ) eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and vernal ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') Comments: a, d-e) The project proposes development of 20 single-family homes on approximately 16 acres of land. The surrounding area is vacant home sites and developed with single-family homes to the north, east, and west, and abandoned railroad right-of-way to the south. The site is located on the southeastern slope of Red Hill, which is essentially built out with single-family homes. There is no wetland habitat on or in the vicinity of the site; and because of the development in the area, no wildlife corridors exist. The site is not identified on maps as potential habitat for any rare or endangered species of plant or animal. b &c) The site contains 32 mature Eucalyptus trees, a row of Silk Oak trees along the railroad right-of-way, one each Coast Live Oak, California Pepper, and Brazilian Pepper, which will be removed to accommodate the proposed project. An Arborist Report was prepared by Jim Borer (dated June 29, 2000) for the project to assess the number, condition, and value of the existing trees. The report found that while the trees offer an appealing common canopy, none of the specimens are individually outstanding or unique. Many of the trees are extremely mature and represent a clear risk of shedding large limbs during heavy winds. The Silk Oak trees are planted too close to one another and are stunted in size and form from their natural disposition to grow. The trees do provide an aesthetic resource as they are visible from Foothill Boulevard. Tree replacement with project landscaping will in time provide a similarly aesthetic resource. Those trees removed to accommodate the project, which meet the criteria for Heritage Trees, shall be replaced at a ratio of one to one with the largest nursery grown trees available and incorporated into the project landscaping. It is not necessary to match the species of the existing trees. With mitigation, the impact is not considered significant.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: Potentially Significant Impact Less POtentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant NO a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of () () () (,/) hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') 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 () () () (v') potential health hazards? e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable () (v) () () brush, grass, or trees? Comments: a-d) There is no evidence of previous commercial or industrial uses. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, or hazardous wastes was observed. There was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. e) The site is not indicated to be in a high fire hazard area, but because of the upslope orientation of the homes, specialized construction methods will be required during Initial Study for DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 plan check to reduce fire potential. The homes shall be installed with fire sprinklers to mitigate lack of emergency vehicle access due to the steep common driveway. The impact is not considered significant. 10. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: NOISE. Will the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? Potentially Significant Impact Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant NO Impact Incorporated Impact Impact ( ) (/) ( () () ( () Comments: a) The proposed project may produce noticeable project-related noise during grading and construction. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed 65 dBA, plus the limits specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120oD, as measured at the property line. Weekly, the developer shall monitor noise levels, monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Planning Division. Developer shall report their findings to the Planning Division within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above standards, then the Developer shall immediately notify the Planning Division. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or halted. b) The site is subject to traffic noise from Foothill Boulevard. A noise study was prepared for the project by Gordon-Bricken and Associates (dated August 23, 2000), which indicates that 6 to 8-foot high noise barriers will be necessary for Lots 1 through 5 and 16 and 17. The report also suggests barriers for Lots 18 through 20 to avoid future occupant complaints (though not technically necessary). The report also recommends window upgrades for certain homes to mitigate interior noise levels. The project is designed with clear acrylic sound barriers in conformance with the recommendations of the Gordon Bricken study. The project shall comply with all recommendations of the noise study prepared by Gordon Bricken, dated August 23, 2000, including noise barriers and window upgrades.

( ) ( ) ( ) ('/) Comments: a-e) Fire Protection - The project site, located on the south and east sides of Camino Predera, would be served by a fire station located on the north side of San Bernardino Road, west of Archibald Avenue. The homes are required to be installed with fire sprinklers. Standard Conditions of Approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project so no impacts to fire services will occur. Police protection - Police protection for the area is provided under a contract with the County Sheriff's Department. Additional police protection is not required, as no residential homes are proposed for development at this time. .Schools - The Central School District serves the subject site. The homes are proposed to be built on existing lots of record and school impact fees will be paid at the time of building permit issuance. Parks - The proposed project will result in the construction of 20 new single-family homes on existing lots of record, and will not generate a substantial number of new people to the area; therefore, the project will not adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities. Public Facilities - The proposed project will not significantly increase traffic on adjacent streets and it is consistent with the Development Code, which designates the area as Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre) with suspected future traffic after development. 12. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially s~gai.cant UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.

Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the refuse at a permitted landfill. The project will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape proposed on the currently vacant site. Storm drain improvements will be constructed to direct drainage to existing facilities located south of the site, and will not result in substantial alterations to the master plan of storm drainage. The impact is not considered significant since it can be mitigated by providing proper stormwater drainage per the City Engineer. 13.

( ) ( ) (v') ( ) Comments: a-b) The project will be visually prominent relative to Foothill Boulevard. The design of the grading, landscaping, and home architecture are subject to review by the City's Design and Grading Review Committees to ensure compliance with community design policies. The homes have been designed to appear as large custom houses consistent with the character of the Red Hill area. The proposed project will blend with current and proposed surrounding development. c) The project will create new light and glare with future development of single-family homes; however, the site has been identified as a residential site so future light will not significantly affect sensitive receptors such as other residential development in the area. .21b Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-47 - Concordia Homes Page 13 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant Impact Potentially Significant Impact Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant Incorporated Impam No 14.

There are no known cultural or historic resources on the property. The Red Hill area, in general, was inhabited by native Indians; however, due to the severe topography of the site, it is highly unlikely that any habitation actually occurred here. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped with eucalyptus and silk oak trees on-site. In the event that cultural resources are discovered during grading and site construction, the contractor shall contact the property owner and the San Bernardino County Museum for proper recovery or documentation. 15.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Potentially Significant Impact Potentially Significant Impact Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant Incorporated impact No Impart a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? 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.) c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ( ) ( ) (,/) (,/) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) (v) Comments: a) The Initial Study did not identify any significant adverse impacts to biological resources. b) The construction activities on the 15.7-acre site could generate fugitive dust during site grading. The contractor will be required to minimize dust generation through water applications per the City's Standard Conditions of Approval. Additional mitigation measures presented in Section 5 of this Initial Study will reduce impacts to less than significant. Noise associated with site construction will not result in a significant impact given the small size of the site and the short-term nature of the construction activity. Roadway noise will be mitigated by providing noise barriers and specialized sound attenuating windows. 2/2.

Dear Mr. Le Count am o TM ....... Our names are H. Lynn and Renee Massey. We live at 8088 C in .l~q 0 2 Predera in Rancho Cucamonga, We're writing to you to expresscl~laF RANCHEl concerns with the property development of Concordia Homes on the 15.7 acres in that area, Our desire is not to stop this development but to protect our rights with the property we own. Please review our concerns and respond to us in a timely fashion. We are working on a tight time schedule and need to have your written response before the January 10th meeting. The issues are as follows: '1. The fair market value of our home will drop. We paid a premium for the city views our property provides. With the building of these 5 new homes our view will be reduced by more than 80%. Our home was $32,000 more than similar homes because of the view. We believe the elevation of the new homes should be lowered to maintain the views and added property value. 2. There could be a "breach of privacy" issue with 5 additional homes being built across the street. Our front door will be in direct view of 5 homes all within 100 yards, compared to none now, 3. The additional traffic of 5 new homes across from us as well as the building of 15 other new homes using the street to access the new properties is a concern. The street has a very pronounced turn with a steep slope, 10° or more, and people misjudge the speed. It's logical that with more traffic, there's a greater chance of an accident. With 20 more new families using this street, the increase of accidents are bound to happen. There is no other access to this new area provided but there are three other possible entries to the new area. 4. There are fire safety issues to be considered. The environmental checklist form initial study part II, completed by you states that the entrance to the site is a concern. The study states that the driveway is very steep at certain points and the emergency access might be inadequate. It also states that if the builder puts sprinklers into the homes the lack of access will not be an issue. If the sprinkler system fails (which could happen) our home could be put in jeopardy if firefighting equipment can't get to a burning structure. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with single family homes, the property to the south consists of vacant land and abandoned rail corridor (future regional multi-purpose trail). the property to the east is developed with single family homes, and the property to the west is vacant and developed with condominiums; and c. Absolute compliance with the maximum slope gradients and retaining wall heights per the Hillside Development Regulations would cause a physical hardship for the property owner due to the steepness and topography of the site as well as the size and shape of the existing lots of record; and PLANNING COMMISSIOIESOLUTION NO. 01-10 VA 00-09 CONCORDIA HOMES JANUARY 24, 2001 Page 2 d. There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the subject property that do not apply to a majority of other properties in the Low Residential District which have much lesser slopes and less drastic topography; and e. Stdct interpretation of the maximum slope gradient and retaining wall height would deprive the property owner of development pdv!leges enjoyed by other properties in the Low Residential District which are able to take full development potential with normal and reasonable grading and construction practices; and f. The Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege as it accommodates reasonable and provident use of the land with homes of reasonable size in conformance with the density provisions of the district; and g. Specialized and sophisticated grading and construction methods as well as intensified landscaping will prevent any detrimental affects to the public health, safety, or welfare, h. Retaining walls are necessary to lower house pad grades to minimize impact upon viewshed of existing homes to the north. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. c. That strict or literal interpratation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. d, That the granting of the Vadance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application. 5.

Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, gave the staff report. He noted that a change had been made in the Resolution of Approval found on Page F & G 99, number 11. He stated the reworded condition should read 'q'he homes shall be installed with fire spdnklera to mitigate the length of the common driveway," He mentioned that correspondence was received from several residents, Paul Gomez, Gloda Romero, Wallace and Charlotte Schultz, and Renee Massey citing issues of view obstruction, slope alternatives, water run-off. the removal of trees, and the possible endangerment of the local wildlife. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. John Snell, Concerdia Homes, 1131 West 6th Street, Ontado, complimented staff for their assistance. He commented that this project has evolved through many changes and that numerous options were considered. He mentioned that he understands that the project is a balance between the intent of the Grading Ordinance, preserve views, technical issues, steep grades, retaining walls and landscaping and that they tded to minimize the impact of the project. He appreciated the compliment in regard to the architectural design. He stated that following the neighborhood meeting, suggestions were brought up and the engineer has completed some early studies regarding slopes, preserving views, wall height and estimated costs. He noted that the Planning Conditions call for street trees but the conditions from Transportation call for street trees and sidewalks. He commented that they would work with staff on conflicting conditions and that he presumed the special conditions would prevail. He indicated the existing sidewalks would remain and that they will repair any damaged sidewalks. Renee Massey, 8088 Camino Predera, Rancho Cucamonga, stated she lives across from Lot 3 and that Lots 1-5 are in the line of sight of her home. She noted that she moved to the Red Hill area because of the attractive views and that the original CC&Rs for her area addressed the issue of views. She noted that she attended the Neighborhood Meeting and that John Snell agreed to draw optional plans to address the issue of a blocked view. She reported that she is in favor of Option ~3. Chuck Buquet, 8725 Predera CoUrt, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that he lives across from Lot 15. He reported that he met with staff and Mr. Snell and his engineer. He indicated that he is not in opposition of the development, but that he feels the development should be compatible with the neighborhood. He reported that the original approval in 1985 was for a custom subdivision and that now it is a tract and the slopes have been revised. He commented that he understands that these Planning Commission Minutes -9- January 10, 2001 slope issues can be difficult to deal with and that the developer has shown a good effort. He noted that the neighbors have made good comments about the development and that the CC&Rs are an important factor and that they include some pretection for the buyers and some provisions for design review, landscape review and they apply to this development. He added that the correspondence documents were provided to Mr. Snell after the neighborhood meeting. He noted that a vadance request cannot be a special privilege and that there are 5 cdteria that must be satisfied by the vadance request. He indicated fiat he assumes all 5 findings were actually made. He asked that the Rosea Silk trees shown on the plans should be deleted and that there should be no street trees on that street. He added that they would like low growing shrubs and Xeriscape should be used in the rear yards. He also asked that the developer not use certain varieties because if they are tall with large canopies it would defeat the purpose of dropping the pad elevations of the homes because the foliage would create a view blockage. He indicated Mr. Snell previded 3 Options to address the view blockage issue. Mr. Buquet favors dropping Lots 3, 4, & 5 to the area where the lower private drive is located. He also suggested adjusting the Pad grades and building heights and he asked what the actual pad elevations would be for each of the lots. Vince Elefante, 7966 Camino Predera, Rancho Cucamonga, indicated that his view is impacted the most over the other residents but that he did express cencem about the blocked view and he voiced his concern that the entrance to the homes will cause treffic impact on the neighborhood. Wallace Schultz, 8513 Red Hill Country Club Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, reitereted his concerns about the blocked views, the blocky design of the proposed homes, the high roof lines of the proposed homes, and the possible adverse affect on his property value. He noted that he supports development but he believes the CC&Rs prevents him from building a second floor and that he would appreciate the same consideretion from the developer. Shirley O'Morrow, 8547 Calle Carebe, Rancho Cucamonga, stated she is cencemed about the loss of trees, the possible shooting of coyotes and the access for the abandoned reil treil. Tom Snedeker, 7949 Camino Predere, Rancho Cucamonga, voiced his concem about the wall shown in the plans and how that would affect floor control. Donald O'Morrow, 8547 Calle Carebe, Rancho Cucamonga, noted that the storm drain currently has 3 feet of water in it, which runs 30 mph. He reported that water percolates into the drein off the property all year round and that this development may be hampered by the drainage situation because the water flows dght threugh the lots. He also voiced concern about 100 year old trees that are slated to be removed from the property. Ray Keeley, 8837 Calle Corizon, Rancho Cucamonga, said that the City seems to be building on every bare piece of land and that allowing this development changes the pleasant aspects of the Red Hill area. He cited issues of view, tree removal, treil access, and the stripping of wildlife. He added that he did not receive notice of the project and that he only lives one street away from the proposed project. Mr. Snell asked staff to respond to the issue of the trees and the trail. He responded to the residents by indicating that he does not believe it is up to the City to become involved with the CC&Rs, but that we do acknowledge them. He noted that the plans submitted are consistent and that they plan to move ahead to plan check with them as they are. He reported that the traffic issues have been addressed because the street designed for the project have been reviewed by staff and they are acceptable. He noted that they do not intend to shoot, kill, or poison coyotes. He indicated that since they will not begin the development for several months, the City may trap or remove animals if they desire. He added that the drainage issue has been accounted for because there is a storm drain at the east end of the project and the drainage should not be a major issue. Planning Commission Minutes -10- January'10,2001 Commissioner Tolstoy asked if staff or the Design Review Committee had asked the developer to use single-story designs. Commissioner Stewart reported that single-story designs are not feasible on this project and that they had come to that conclusion following 2 Preliminary Design Review Workshops and 3 Design Reviews following that. Joe Long, Boyle Engineering presented 3 alternatives to address the view issue. He reported that Alternative #1 is the least costly and the net result is that Lots 3,4,&5 are pushed down 3-3 ~ feet. Alternative #2 pushes down Lots 3 &4 approximately 9 feet. He noted that Alternative #.3 is the most drastic grading, the most costly, and because of the excessive high wall, is the least desirable. It creates a common drive for Lots 6-17 and drops the homes 38 feet from the current design and would result in a 37-foot retaining wall. He added that Mr. Buquet submitted his own idea, which would swing the extension of the common drive further up the slope, but he noted that it has some of the same issues as the other options but would lessen the wall height to 20 feet. Chairman McNiel clarified the impact on the height of the proposed wall and summarized them: Altemative #1 has a 16-foot wall, AItemative #2 has a 16-foot wall, Alternative #3 has a 37-foot wall and the Alternative #4 (Buquet Plan) has a 25-foot wall. Commissioner Mannerino asked if the homeowners had seen all of the altematives with exception to Altemative #4 (Buquet Plan). Mr. Long replied affirmatively. Chairman McNiel asked if Altemative #3 is a crib style wall. Mr. Long said that it is. Chairman McNiel asked what the degree of angle is on Alternative ~3. Mr. Long said the slope is 1:32 foot slope but with the planting boxes it comes back to about 25:1, straight up and down. Chairman McNiel asked how a wall that high would be maintained. Mr. Long replied with a very long ladder (tongue in cheek). Mr. Snell stated that the impacts of the grading and the proposed alternative wall would be too great to consider and that he felt sure the City would not approve a 37-foot wall. He said that now he has had a chance to review these alternatives, he would elect to go with the plans that they have already submitted. Mr. Bulier asked Brent Le Count to respond to the issues of the trees. Mr. Le Count indicated that 200 trees are to be removed and that the Landscape Plan includes more than that to be put in place that more than mitigates the loss of the existing treeS. He noted that most of the. trees, although old, are not of special quality and an arbodst recommended they be removed with replacements as recommended. Mr. Buller reported that the City, in cooperation with our neighboring cities, will be constructing a multi-purpose trail using the abandoned rail mute which will eventually connect us with our neighboring cities via this trail. He noted that there is a provision for a light rail system in the future. Planning Commission Minutes -11- January 10, 2001 He added that the trail is in the Master Plan but it is not required to be built by the developer or at the same time as this proposed development. Commissioner Mannedno noted that Mr. Buquet eluded to CC&Rs recorded against this property and asked if there are any restrictions for height and view that may be impacted by this development. He asked that if we have reviewed the CC&Rs if only for informational purposes even though the City has no jurisdiction over CC&Rs. Mr. Le Count said that he had not seen any CC&Rs. Mr. Buller noted that although the City gives consideration to their restrictions, but it is not the City's responsibility to enforce them. Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney, clarified the matter and stated that the City has no jurisdiction to enforce CC&Rs but that the City may take into account existing legal arrangements regarding the property, however, even if the CC&Rs clearly preclude 2-story homes, the City does not need to use its power to effectuate those private agreements. The Commission can chose or not chose to be guided by their provisions. You are not required to enforce them. He added that the Resolution of Approval for the Variance does have a section which outlines sufficient facts and findings made for the Variance found on Page F&G-63 of the agenda packet. Commissioner Mannerino indicated that he is opposed to the project at this time after considedng counsel's comments. He noted that he is not opposed because of the issues of diminishing the view, the removal of the trees and the diminishing wildlife, but that at this time he is opposed to the project until they have the opportunity to consider the CC&Rs. He added that if the CC&Rs pertain to the tract in question and if the developer is aware of CC&Rs, and that the Commission knows they exist, and if in fact the height of the proposed homes violate the CC&Rs, and the Commission can consider them, then the Commission should be aware of what they say. He noted that if there is no way to avoid the CC&Rs restrictions then the owners are free to take civil action. He indicated that the other concems previously mentioned are hollow and ingenuous. Chairman McNiel stated that he had not seen the CC&Rs but that he did not believe the homes are greater in height than homes already built. Commissioner Mannerino indicated that he would be surprised if the CC&RS have truly been violated by the design of this project, however, if someone alleges that CC&Rs on the property in question have been violated, then he wants to see them to determine is the statement is true or false. He strongly encouraged that the CC&Rs be reviewed. Chairman McNiel stated that tonight was the first time anyone has mentioned CC&Rs that might apply to the project being built. Commissioner Mannerino emphasized the point that the developer has acknowledged the existence of CC&Rs, which apply to his tract. He indicated that perhaps the developer had not been totally forthright in Design Review about telling staff about their existence. He noted that he would be surprised if in fact those CC&Rs limit the height of these homes. Commissioner Stewart agreed. Mr. Ennis noted that one of the required findings for the Design Review is in the Resolution of Approval for the variance states 'q'hat the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity." He added that the Commissioners should take the CC&Rs into account if they should desire to do so, but that it is not the City's job to enforce them, that is a private matter. Planning Commission Minutes -12- Janua~ 10,2001 Commissioner Mannedno stated that he would rather not deny the project but would move to continue the headng until the Commission can confirm the existence of the CC&Rs, determine if they actually apply to this project, and confirm any restrictions that may be in the CC&Rs. Commissioner Stewart agreed. Mr. Bullet recommended the public headng be re-opened so that it can be continued and ask Mr. Snell how available the CC&Rs would be for the Commissioner's review. Chairman McNiel re-opened the public headng and Mr. Snell came forward. Mr. Snell stated that he has a copy of the CC&Rs in his office and that he can forward a copy to the Commissioners tomorrow. Commissioner Mannedno clarified his position by stating that he was not suggesting the developer was trying to conceal facts. Butthe during the course of the hearing, facts are sometimes disclosed and the purpose of the hearing is to hear the relevant facts. Mr. Buller recommended the CC&Rs be delivered to the City tomorrow and that copies can be provided to any interested parties and the item be continued to the January 24th meeting to allow staff the opportunity to evaluate the CC&Rs. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that he finds the architectural design of the homes acceptable and that there is no view ordinance in the City and no one likes to lose a view and the Planning Commission tdes to preserve views if feasible. CC&Rs are not our business; it is a civil matter, he agreed that they should know what they say. Commissioner Tolstoy continued stating he would not vote in favor because of the excessive slopes and that cdb walls do not work well in floods. He noted that he has never seen a cdb wall in a desert area that grows and are not viable in this situation. He also felt that steep slopes are not managed properly, and for those reasons he would vote no on the project. Mr. Snell clarified and said that the walls are not crib walls, they are closed cell walls. Chairman McNiel interjected that the crib walls were part of the alternative wall plans, which were open to discussion. The reason the slopes were treated that way was to lower the homes to get the homes to a lower view level. Commissioner Tolstoy reiterated that he feels the slope management presented is not acceptable. Chairman McNiel stated that he did not feel the CC&Rs are their problem. He commented that the design team worked hard and that the project as presented is acceptable, He noted that this is a difficult piece of property and the developer made exceptional efforts to bring the project to this point. He said he would approve it dght now but he added that Alternative #3 is not acceptable. Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Stewart to continue Variance 00-09 and Environmental Assessment and Development Review 00-47 (Tract 10035) to the January 24, 2001 meeting to allow staff the opportunity to review the CC&Rs.

Related files: Variance 00-09 and Tree Removal Permit 00-41. (Continued from January 10, 2001) Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Chairman McNiel indicated the public hearing remained open. John Snell, Concordia Homes, 1131 West 6th Street, Ontario, thanked the Planning Commission for the continuance. He said they had gotten the CC&Rs to staff immediately. He noted that the spreadsheet in the staff report (Exhibit "B") shows compliance with the CC&Rs and he showed an exhibit of the house plotting which illustrated the chart. Renee Massey, 8088 Camino Predera, Rancho Cucamonga, stated her property is located across the street from Lots 1 through 5. She said that the Fire Protection District Technical Review comments dated September 30, 2000, state that the project is located in a high fire hazard area, but the Initial Study indicates the site is not indicated to be in a high fire hazard area. She stated that the Initial Study references a report from Gary Rasmussen and Associates prepared in 1997 but the GeoSoils, Inc. study states that the Rasmussen report was prepared in 1987. She said the Commission approved the CC&Rs in 1988 and she believed the Commission originally requested single story homes because of the CC&Rs. She noted that Commissioner Stewart had indicated it had been determined that single story homes were not feasible. She hoped the determination was not based on cost and felt the builder could modify its plans to build single story homes. Mrs. Massey stated that she had been told by staff that a variance had never before been granted for a 10-foot retaining wall and that such a variance could not be granted unless there are unusual circumstances or the lots are unusually small. She did not see any special circumstances or reason to grant a variance. She noted that the Hillside Ordinance calls for slopes to be as gentle as possible and not manmade. She felt the 2:1 slope is substantial and observed a gradient of 1.5:1 would increase the grade even more. She said staff could not recall such a request having been granted in the past. Mrs. Massey observed that she and her husband had gone on record at the previous meeting to request Option 3 offered by Concordia Homes but had never been consulted on Planning Commission Minutes -4- January 24,2001 a fourth option. She stated that Mr. Snell had indicated none of the options was feasible. She withdrew her previous support of the project and asked that the project be denied because it does not reflect the type of homes in character with the community, is not in keeping with the CC&Rs, requests variances which have not previously been approved by the Commission, and is at odds with the Hillside Ordinance. She agreed with sta~'s comment that a portion of the homes are below the level of the street, but said that there are no homes opposite those lots and the upper five and the lower five homes will obstruct the view from existing homes. She said they would exercise their right to seek civil action against all parties involved if the project were approved. Lynn Massey, 8088 Camino Predera, Rancho Cucamonga, thanked the Commission for allowing him to present his concerns. He thought the facts presented were misleading. He showed a picture of his house and indicated that the level of sight from his front door and his balcony is equal or within 6 inches. He felt the line-of-site drawings were misleading because they show two different elevations for his house. He stated his view of the valley and city lights will be obstructed by homes on Lots 2 through 5. He felt that 75 percent of his view will be obstructed and that he will lose all of his view when trees are grown by the new homeowners. He read from two advertising flyers from Concordia Homes from other communities and severel real estate advertisements which highlighted a view as one of their selling features. Mr. Massey stated the community is semi-custom homes with the majority being split level or single story. He thought the Commission originally requested single story homes but staff felt Concord ia's proposal for two-story homes was feasible. He believed the property is better suited for split-level homes and that property values may not be increased because the new homes are not congruent with the community. He indicated that if the Commission approved the plan, it may be encouraging a civil matter between a voter, taxpayer, and citizen toward an entity that can't vote or pay taxes and is not in the community. Chuck Buquet, 8725 Predera Court, Rancho Cucamonga, stated his is one of the homeowners who spoke at the last meeting regarding CC&R issues and sensitivity to the fact that it was previously a custom lot subdivision which is now being transitioned to a production lot development. He agreed with the Massey's comments and noted that the variance is needed to enable the project to move forward. He stated that variances are granted only when there are overwhelming reasons and specific findings must be made. He felt there should be a reliance on the requirements and ordinances. He said he had seen some bad projects which have not made it this far. He asked that the Commission carefully weigh the granting of a variance to facilitate development on the last good spot on Red Hill to ensure that what is built is consistent with the neighborhood and the rural topography of the area. He appreciated that alternatives had been presented. He said he and a lot of other residents spent a lot of time attending meetings amongst themselves and with the developer and City staff reviewing options which were then stated to be infeasible. He explained he had not seen the staff reports and his only question was what the recommended conditions are. He appreciated that Concordia had made a considerable investment, but said he plans to be there for a long time and he hopes it is a win/win scenario. He felt it is impo~ant to keep a balance between view capture and view hoarding and he asked for careful evaluation of the impacts that will occur with a proposed two-story product sitting on a pad created for a two-story product rather than a split level product which currently exists in the area. Mr. Snell felt that most of the comments had been addressed more than adequately by staff and had been discussed at the previous meeting. He said the house and elevations on Mr. Massey's house appeared to have different elevations because the engineer drew the section through the house where that view would be from. He said at one position he was over the garage and at the other, he was at ground level. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Mannerino asked staff to review the supporting findings for the retaining wall for the Planning Commission Minutes -5- January 24, 2001 benefit of the audience. Mr. Le Count stated the site has slopes in excess of 30 percent. He indicated a site with 30 percent slope could not be developed under current standards; however this is an existing subdivided property and the only way to achieve development of the site is to have some slopes as steep as 1.5:1 and some retaining wails as high as 10 feet. Commissioner Mannerino stated that would be true regardless of the height of the houses being built on the property. Mr. Le Count confirmed that was correct. Chairman McNiel stated there have been proposals for th is particular property for almost as long as he has been on the Commission. He observed several projects have come and gone and they were not built because the timing was not right or the product turned out to be not doable. He said if nothing is ever built there at all, he would not be unhappy and noted he also lives on Red Hill. He noted a comment had been made that the character of the community of Red Hill might be damaged because of these houses. He observed that there are two tracts of houses that defy any simulation of character and there are houses of every conceivable architecture style, size, and configuration and various lot sizes from large to small. He did not think there is a "Red Hill character" and it is an eclectic community. He thought Concordia had gone a long way in an effort to satisfy the wants and desires of the neighbors in the community. He noted the bulk of the houses are below street level. He said they are not small houses and he did not think they would negatively effect anyone's property values. He observed the Commission needs to deal with whether or not the project is approvable. He noted that if civil action is taken elsewhere, it is not the Commission's concern. He expressed suppod for the project. Commissioner Mannerino said it is a tough situation because it is a tough property. He indicated he knows a number of the people who spoke this evening and earlier. He noted it is a tract which was approved in 1985 and the developer purchased the property with an expectation of being able to build on the property. He said the Commission was not considering the approval of a tract map. He believed it was unfair to say that view is not important to the Commission. He felt view is important but it is not within the Commission's jurisdiction to ensure it unless there are conditions elsewhere such as in the CC&Rs. He observed it had been his suggestion that the matter be continued so that the CC&Rs could be reviewed. He said staff and the Commissioners had reviewed them and the project is within the stated height as modified by Concordia. He said there is a reasonableness standard set forth in Section 2.04 with regard to view obstruction and that standard sets a maximum roof height on these lots at 24 feet. He did not feel it was the intent of the draffers of the CC&Rs to make that at the discretion of the Planning Commission and it is a contractual relationship among the people who buy into the tract. He understood that the variance for the wall is necessary regardless of the height of the homes. He thought that if the Commission finds the variance is inappropriate, that would take away the developer's right to build on a recorded tract map. He was reluctant to support the project because he understood the concerns raised regarding obstructing the view which they thought would always be there, but he saw no legal reason to deny the project. Commissioner Stewart agreed with the comments made by both Chairman McNiel and Commissioner Mannedno. She noted that Section 2.04 of the CC&Rs also stated in part that each owner by accepting lots in the project may be subject to subsequent obstruction as a result of future construction or plantings. She felt the developer had done everything possible to look at resolving view issues, traffic issues, planning issues, wall issues, etc. presented by citizens, staff, and Commission members. She noted there had been two workshops and three Design Review Committee meetings. She said there have been other developers on the same property and each time elaborate geo grid patterns for berming sections. She felt everything had been done to get a Planning Commission Minutes -6- January 24,2001 good quality development for the neighborhood. She noted there is 360 degree architecture and the homes had been redesigned in many areas including retaining walls. Based upon what she had seen and reviewing the CC&Rs, she supported the project. Commissioner Macias stated he had not been at the last meeting but he listened to the tape and reviewed the minutes and the CC&Rs and had also been involved early in the design review process. He did not feel the variance request is unreasonable and is no different from variances which are routinely approved. He felt the issue is view shed and it is hard because people want to hold on to what they have with respect to surrounding undeveloped land. He felt that approving this project would not be inconsistent with how those issues have been dealt with in the past. He supported the project and moved approval. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he heard a lot of talk about the CC&Rs at the last meeting. He said he had reviewed the CC&Rs and did not feel this project violates them in any way. He felt the architecture will add value to the neighborhood but said he could not support the project because of the treatment of the slope area adjoining the old railroad right of way. He acknowledged he is not an engineer but said he has witnessed a number of slope failures in other cities. He thought the slope area will be a problem for the owners to maintain and thought it could have been designed better in that respect. He said he would vote against the project only because of that issue.

Planning Commission Minutes -7- Janua~ 24,2001 City of Rancho Cucamonga NEGATIVE DECLARATION The fofiowing Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code. Project File No.: Development Review 00-47 (Tract No. 10035) Public Review Period Closes: March 7, 2001 Project Name: Project Applicant: Concordia Homes of Southern California Project Location (also see attached map): Located On the south side of Camino Predera south of Red Hill Country Club Drive - APN: 207-641-01 through 10, 207-631-01 through 11. Project Description: The Design Review of building elevations and detailed site plan for 21 existing lots within approved Tract 10035 on 15.7 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre). Related files: Variance 00-09 and Tree Removal Permit 00-41. FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but: (I) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and (2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. If adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847. NOTICE The public is invited to comment on the proposed Negative Declaration during the review period. March 7. 2001 Date of Determination Adopted By 3/8/o~ Mayor and City Council: The attached are handouts from last night's Council meeting. Debbie March 7, 2001 Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of DR 00-47 and Variance 00-09 We have performed a quick study that shows that it is feasible to lower Lots 4 and 5. This design seems to address the primary concern of the Massey's and we hope will be acceptable to them. This appears to have about the same slope area as the prior design. These design appears to reduce the amount of retaining walls in comparison to the prior design. We have not been able to complete a review of a suggestion to use split level homes on the lots that access Camino Predera. We wish to continue to review this option and if it is feasible, to work with staff on the design of these homes. We request that the following approval and guideline be incorporated in a resolution. Lots 4 and 5 shall be lowered and have access off of the private drive. Slopes to accommodate this may be as steep as 1.5:1 and walls may be necessary up to 10 feet in height. Detailed review to be done by engineering and planning staff during development plan review. Homes on lots 1,2,3, 18, 19 and 20 may be revised to be split level (garage and living space at street level with one floor below) at the developers discretion. Exteriors and project grading shall be subject to staff approval and shall be of the same nature and character of the elevations approved by Planning Commission. Heights and building envelopes shall comply with the project CC&R's and the Hillside Ordinance. 1131 West Sixth Street, Suite 110, Ontario, Ca 91762 909-988-9000, ext 329 909-988-5122 fax RESOLUT,ON NO. a l - a A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION APPROVING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-47 TO APPROVE THE DESIGN REVIEW OF BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND DETAILED SITE PLAN FOR 20 PROPOSED HOMES WITHIN 21 EXISTING LOTS WITHIN RECORDED TRACT 10035 ON 15.7 ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE), LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CAMINO PREPERA, SOUTH OF RED H ILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE - APN: 207-641-01 THROUGH 10 AND 207- 631-01 THROUGH 11. A. Recitals. 1. Concordia Homes has filed an application for the approval of Development Review 00-47, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereina~er in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of January 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on Development Review 00-47 and continued that meeting to allow time for analysis of tract Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. 3. On the 24th day of January, 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date. 4. The decision represented by said Planning Commission Resolution was appealed in a timely manner to this Council. 5. 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 City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part "A," of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on March 7, 2001, including, but not limited to, written and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning Commission meeting, and the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-11, and together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located along the south side of Camino Predera with a street frontage of 3,300 feet and lot depth of 260 feet and is presently vacant; and CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. APPEAL OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-47 - MASSEY March 7, 2001 Page 2 b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with single-family homes, the property to the south consists of vacant land and abandoned rail corridor (future regional multi-purpose trail), the property to the east is developed with single-family homes, and the property to the west is vacant and developed with condominiums; and c. The potential environmental impacts related to air quality, tree removal, noise, and geological hazards can be mitigated to a level of less than significant through compliance with the recommended environmental mitigation measures; and d. The proposed homes are of very high architectural design quality with 360-degree enhancement; and e. The project is designed with a majority of the homes set well below the level of the street, thereby preserving existing views far beyond what is typically achieved elsewhere in the City; and f. The design includes a sophisticated retaining wall system that allows landscaping to be planted on the surface of walls, intensified slope landscaping, and decorative block walls that will enhance the visual quality of the project; and g. The project is designed to be consistent with all requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations with the exception of slope gradient and retaining wall height for which a Vadance application has been requested; and h. The project will enhance the surrounding area by virtue of high quality home and landscaping design that exceeds that of the area; and i. The project fosters provident use and development of existing lots of record; and appearance. The grading design includes rounded slopes to provide a softer, more natural 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on March 7, 2001, including, but not limited to, written and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning Commission meetings, the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-11, and together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows with reference to points raised by the appellant: a. The proposed project differs from the design associated with the Design Review for Tract 10035 approved by the Planning Commission in 1987, but this previous approval has since expired and has no bearing on the current project; and b. The home design associated with the Design Review for Tract 10035 approved by the Planning Commission in 1987 is of a split level concept, however the design would not have substantially preserved views for the appellant, and would have far greater overall view impacts for the neighborhood than would occur with the current project application; and c. The proposed homes will be no higher than 24 feet above the mid-point of the curb line of Camino Predera, consistent with the view obstructions section of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restriction for Tract 10035; and CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. APPEAL OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 0047 - MASSEY March 7, 2001 Page 3 d. A majority of the homes will be located below, very near, or nominally above the curb line of Camino Predera; thus maximizing view preservation for a majority of the existing neighborhood and future home sites on the nodh side of Camino Predera, far in excess of what would be achieved via conformance with tract CC&R's; and e. The project will enhance the surrounding area by virtue of high quality home and landscaping design that exceeds that of the area; and f. The conceptual plans submitted for review by the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission have been found to accurately reflect the existing conditions in the area and the proposed project design with the exception of one sight line cross section shown on Sheet 7B which, while included in the overall set of exhibits, was not relied upon during Design Review meetings nor the Planning Commission hearings; and 4.

A. Recitals. 1. Concordia Homes has filed an application for the approval of Variance 00-09, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Vadance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of January 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on Variance 00-09 and continued that meeting to allow time for analysis of tract Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. 3. On the 24th day of January, 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date. 4. The decision represented by said Planning Commission Resolution was appealed in a timely manner to this Council. 5. 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 City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part "A," of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public headng on March 7, 2001, including, but not limited to, written and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning Commission meeting, and the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-10, and togetherwith public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located along the south side of Camino Predera with a street frontage of 3,300 feet and lot depth of 260 feet and is presently vacant; and CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. APPEAL OF VARIANCE 00-09 - MASSEY March 7, 2001 Page 2 b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with single- family homes, the property to the south consists of vacant land and abandoned rail corridor (future regional multi-purpose trail), the property to the east is developed with single-family homes, and the property to the west is vacant and developed with condominiums; and c. Absolute compliance with the maximum slope gradients and retaining wall heights per the Hillside Development Regulations would cause a physical hardship for the property owner due to the steepness and topography of the site, as well as the size and shape of the existing lots of record; and d. There are exceptional circumstances, such as shape and size of lots which limit development alternatives given the extreme 30 percent existing natural slope and a grade difference of over 110 feet, applicable to the subject property that do not apply to a majority of other properties in the Low Residential District which have much lesser slopes and less drastic topography; and e. Strict interpretation of the maximum slope gradient and retaining wall height would deprive the property owner of development privileges enjoyed by other properties in the Low Residential District which are able to take full development potential with normal and reasonable grading and construction practices; and f. The Variance will not constitute a grant of special pdvilege, as it accommodates reasonable and provident use of the land with homes of reasonable size in conformance with the density provisions of the district; and g. Specialized and sophisticated grading and construction methods as well as intensified landscaping will prevent any detrimental affects to the public health, safety, or welfare. h. Retaining walls are necessary to lower house pad grades to minimize impact upon view shed of existing homes to the north. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on March 7, 2001, including, but not limited to, wdtten and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning Commission meeting, the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-10, and togetherwith public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows with reference to points raised by the appellant: a. The increase in retaining wall height and slope gradient are necessary in order to locate a majority of the proposed homes below, very near, or nominally above the curb line for Camino Predera, thus maximizing view preservation for a majority of the existing neighborhood including future homes on the north side of Camino Predera; and b. The appellant did not present any information that would refute any of the findings established by the Planning Commission in their decision to grant approval of the subject Variance application 4. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on March 7, 2001, and upon the specific findings of fact set forth in paragraphs 1,2, and 3 above, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. APPEAL OF VARIANCE 00-09 - MASSEY March 7, 2001 Page 3 a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same distdct. c. That stdct or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. d. That the granting of the Vadance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. e. That the granting of the Vadance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Council hereby denies the appeal, upholds the action of the Planning Commission, and approves the application subject to all Conditions of Approval contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-10, attached hereto. 6.

I~ANCHO CUCAHONGA S 3ffReport DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: March 7, 2001 Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager Duane A. Baker, Assistant to the City Manager JUVENILE ACCOUNTABILITY INCENTIVE BLOCK GRANT (JAIBG) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the allocation of the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant to the Regional Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition (RJCEC) for San Bernardino County to support youth, school and community safety. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: In 1999, the California Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) issued funds under the JAIBG Program. The purpose of this Program is to provide funding to local governments to develop programs that promote greater accountability in the juvenile justice system. There are 12 program purpose areas that can be funded by this grant: (1) Facilities including building, expanding, renovating or training correctional staff; (2) Developing and administering accountability based sanctions for juvenile offenders; (3) Hiring juvenile judges, probation officers or defenders; (4) Hiring prosecutors; (5) Prosecution funding to address drug, gang and youth violence prosecutions; (6) Technology and equipment for prosecutors; (7) Juvenile court and juvenile probation officers for accountability and reducing recidivism; (8) Establish juvenile gun courts that target young firearm offenders; (9) Establish youth drug courts; (10) Establish and maintain interagency information-sharing programs to make more informed decisions; (11 ) Establish and maintain accountability-based programs designed to protect students and school personnel from drug, gang and youth violence; and/or (12) Implement a policy of juvenile drug testing within the juvenile justice system. The JAIBG also allows for the creation of a Regional Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition (RJCEC) to develop a coordinated juvenile enforcement program and to allow lesser fund amounts allocated to cities to be leveraged as a larger regional amount. The City is scheduled to receive $17,489, which is slightly higher than last years allocation. A greater impact was created because of this collaborative partnership between the cities, county and high schools. The grant was used last year to hire seven juvenile probation officers and one juvenile hearing officer that were assigned to school campuses. While it is too early to evaluate objective statistics about the program, the participating schools, including the Chaffey Joint Union High School District, have affirmed their support for continuing the program. This program is designed to insure that juveniles are held accountable for their actions and not lost in the system. With increased probation officers and a presence on schools the chances for keeping juveniles from repeating mistakes increases. It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution that will pool our JAIBG funds with other cities, school districts and the county. This will enable this cooperative program of juvenile accountability to continue for a third year. ~::~T, ub~,,/~,/~,,,,~--_,,__ Duane A.

Salazar, AICP, Associate Planner ANNEXATION 00-02 - A request to approve the Tax Revenue Exchange for annexation proceedings (LAFCO No. 2872) between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Rancho Cucamonga for approximately 60 acres of the San Bernardino County unincorporated area, generally located at the northeast corner of Banyan Street and Milliken Avenue. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution approving the Tax Revenue Exchange between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. BACKGROUND The Tax Revenue Exchange negotiation is part of the annexation proceedings before the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the Chaffey Joint Union High School District (Los Osos High School), located in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County (Exhibit "B"). This annexation is tentatively scheduled for public hearing before LAFCO on March 21, 2001. Approval of the Property Tax Revenue Exchange by the City and the County is a prerequisite of the annexation proceedings. The County of San Bernardino uses a formula to determine properly tax allocation for annexations. The school district, as other public agencies, is not required to pay any property tax.

THE CITY OF I:~ANCIIO CUCAMONGA Staff Report Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, City Manager Mayor Pro Tem, Diane Williams and Council Member Jim Curatalo, Members of the Public Safety Subcommittee BY: DATE: SUBJECT: March 7, 2001 Red Light Camera Enforcement Program RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council award a contract for Red Light Camera Enforcement services to Nestor Traffic Systems. BACKGROUND: Over the past year, the Public Safety Subcommittee has been discussing the issue of traffic safety and the increasing occurrence of red light running and collisions due to red light violations. To reduce the number of red light violations, the Subcommittee researched a variety of red light camera enforcement programs designed to produce photographic evidence of vehicles that illegally run red lights. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in the Spring of 2000, which resulted in a total of three (3) proposals for red light camera enforcement services. After careful review of each proposal, Nestor Traffic Systems (NTS) was selected as the apparent successful bidder. NTS has more than four (4) years experience in the digital/video traffic monitoring industry, and provides services to a number of California and non- California cities. NTS Program Overview CrossingGuard, NTS' red light monitoring system, captures red light runners through a digital video sequence of a violation, recording the full context of each red light running event. The digital video provides solid evidence of the violation and the identity of the vehicle so that it can be successfully defended in court if necessary. Moreover, NTS' equipment monitors both the front and rear images of violating vehicles to ensure that the license plate is recorded. Currently, at least 20% of California vehicles do not display the required front license plate. The CrossingGuard system can automatically detect a vehicle that is violating the red traffic signal; measure and record the time of the violation; the preceding amberphase time; the elapsed time between the onset of the red light and the time of the violation; and the speed of the vehicle when it enters the intersection. This information is captured by the CrossingGuard equipment at the intersection, transmitted in real time to a central monitoring facility and stored in a violation database. The CrossingGuard system operates day and night, under a variety of weather and visibility conditions to provide 24-hour, 7-days-a-week monitoring. Approaches from north, south, east or west bound traffic, including left hand turn signals can be monitored. The estimated time frame for implementation is between 90-120 days. Site Selection NTS will conduct an engineering analysis of the candidate intersections to determine the extent of the red light running and to assess installation requirements. As a part of this analysis, NTS will review available data on traffic flows, traffic patterns, peak traffic times and violation and crash data. This information will help provide a snapshot of violation behavior that will aid in a "before and after" analysis to document the program's effectiveness on an intersection by intersection basis. Equipment Installation The CrossingGuard installation makes use of two different kinds of video cameras at an intersection to capture red light violations. All video camera equipment will be mounted under a 9-inch camera dome suspended from pole mast arms over the roadway. NTS will provide CALTRANS approved poles that meet the City's requirements. CrossingGuard's communication equipment, known as a Roadside Station, performs the vehicle detection and violation enforcement, and is housed in a standard traffic controller cabinet which is weatherproof, vandalproof and lockable. A benefit of this above ground system is that it does not rely on inductive loops, and as a result, no roadway will be torn up or damaged. During the life of the contract, NTS has agreed to maintain and operate the CrossingGuard equipment. Citation Processing NTS' citation processing system includes citation preparation, citation approval and citation mailing, specially tailored to meet the needs of the City. NTS will provide all citation preparation and processing services which includes the review of violation data and retrieval of DMV data for the approval of law enforcement. No citation will be issued for mailing without the approval of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. -2- Electronic copies and all citation files and associated violation video will also be available at the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department for review by the public. The citation form will be generated subject to Court approval and in the format required by State law. The form will contain all required information about the actual violation, the registered owner information, color copies of the image frames depicting the violation and payment information. Changes to the content, format or design can easily be modified to meet the City's needs. Warning Perrod In conformance with the California Vehicle Code, NTS will operate the CrossingGuard system for the first 30 days to issue warnings to drivers caught running red lights at monitored intersections. No citations will be issued during this warning period. The CrossingGuard system will operate at no charge to the City during the 30-day warning period. Court Suppod/Expert Witness Testimony For those citations that are contested in court, NTS will prepare and provide a complete evidence packet for court support. The evidence packet will include a color printed copy of the citation, as mailed to the violator, a certificate of mailing, as well as all associated electronic files of video information from which the citation violation images were selected. The evidence packet will also contain a record of equipment test data and relevant electronic log files certifying proper equipment operation at the time of violation. NTS will also provide law enforcement with adequate training to ensure that they are thoroughly prepared to testify about the principles of the CrossingGuard equipment, operation and citation processing steps. If necessary, NTS can provide additional expert witness testimony to support law enforcement needs. Public Education Campaign and Outreach NTS will work closely with the City to develop a public education program that will both inform the public and build support for the new traffic enforcement system. The public education campaign will highlight the features of the red light camera system, the location of the cameras, the ticketing process and penalties, and the goal to improve intersection safety. Methods of informing the public may include, but are not limited to: Roadway signage at monitored intersections and entrances to the City; press releases; City publications; cable television (including RC'I'V-3); informational meetings; and the City's web page. -3- ANALYSIS: Cost NTS' proposed traffic monitoring contract is for a three (3) year period and is based on a per paid citation fee for two (2) intersections. At each intersection, four (4) different directions of traffic, commonly referred to as "approaches" will be monitored. NTS will charge the City approximately $94 for every paid citation. NTS has also established monthly minimums it must receive per monitored intersection. NTS' monthly minimum per intersection approach is $4,230. However, for the first year of the program, NTS has agreed to waive its monthly minimum requirements. The Red Light Camera Enforcement Program will be funded through funds received from red light citations, The City receives $132 per red light citation. The Subcommittee recommends that any additional revenue received as a result of the program be placed in a special fund to be used to expand the program. Program Efficiency Due to glare from the sun, extreme weather conditions, missing license plates or unclear photos of the ddver, the issuance rate for red light violations is 40%, Of that 40%, 70% of violators will pay the citation· FOr the program to be cost effective, each monitored "approach" should detect a minimum of 5 to 6 violations per day. Taking the issuance and actual payment rate in consideration, the number of paid violations per approach per day needed for maximum efficiency is 1.7. If for any reason the number of citations issued drops significantly, making the program inefficient, the City will have the option to relocate the equipment to an alternative intersection. Conclusion The Public Safety Subcommittee recommends monitoring two (2) intersections within the City limits. North, south, east and westbound traffic should be monitored at each intersection. Intersection candidates include: Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue and Base Line Road and Carnelian Avenue. Both intersections have been surveyed by NTS and meet the minimum number of violations required for program efficiency. Pending Council's approval, it is anticipated that the Red Light Camera Enforcement Program will be implemented by July 2001.
