RE: Pre-Application Review of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan
Dear Members of the Planning Commission and Mr. Buffer:
On behalf of the Catellus Development Corporation, we are proposing a Master Plan for the
southeast sector of Rancho Cucamonga, located on 140 acres, which is situated on both sides
of Milliken Avenue, from Foothill Boulevard to the north and Arrow Route to the south. The
easterly property line abuts Quake Stadium. The proposed Corporate Park is located within the
City's Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 7 (northern portion) and Subarea 8 (southern
portion). The boundary line between the two Subareas is not specifically delineated and we are
proposing definition of the location with this process.
The Master Plan is being prepared to serve as a guide for projects within an overall
development framework directed toward achieving development consistency with the City of
Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan. The Master Ran will further specify master
design criteria while meeting the individual design and development needs of specific projects
within the area.
In conjunction with the Master Plan application process, a Development/Design Review
application for a Lowe's Home Center is proposed. The retail-oriented facility will be located at
the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue.
The Catellus Development Corporation is a land development entity which owns and develops
property throughout Southern California. A unique quality of Catellus' is that upon construction.
they frequently continue to own the facilities, thus establishing responsibility for long term
maintenance and security of the properties. The proposed Rancho Cucamonga Corporate
Park is one of those properties of which Catellus will maintain ownership and will. therefore, be
integrally involved in the well-being of the property, and in turn, the City.
V~th this Pre-Application Review submittal, we are submitting the following items for your
review and input:
Uniform Application for Pre-Application Review
Pre-Application Review fee - $325.00
Project Summary
Master Site Plan - 8 COlOr captes (11" x 17"). 8 black & white copies (11" x 17"). and 8 black & white

Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park
Master Plan
SUMMARY
This request is for Pre-Application Review of the Master Plan components for the proposed
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park.
PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed Corporate Park is located in the southeast sector of Rancho Cucamonga,
comprised of 140 acres. The property is situated on both sides of Milliken Avenue, from Foothill
Boulevard to the north and Arrow Route to the south. The easterly property line abuts Quake
Stadium. The project site is located within the City's Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 7
(northern portion) and Subarea 8 (southern portion). The precise location of the boundary line
between Subareas 7 and 8 is difficult to determine since there is no property line or other
specific identifier to place its position. Therefore, this application is also intended to firmly
establish the subarea division line.
MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW
A Master Plan is being prepared in
order to ensure that an integrated,
well planned, high quality environment
for the development of industrial and
warehouse uses is accomplished.
The plan is being prepared to provide
for orderly development of the project
area while maintaining a flexibility in
order to respond to changes in
market demand. A vocabulary of
building shapes and sizes, materials
and textures, landscaping and street
furniture is being prepared to create
a cohesive, yet unique setting for the
Corporate Park. In order to create a
unifying effect for the area and to set
aside this location as a business park,
there will be an emphasis on providing
identifiers for entry statements, corridor
treatments and corner monumentation.
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 2
Summary
The Master Plan will serve as a guide to the development within the project area, while
ensuring conformity to the Industrial Area Specific Plan, as well as defining methods by which
to accomplish the requirements of individual users for the various sites. The Master Plan will
include the following components:
Guidelines for Site Development
Site Layout
Development Standards
Permitted Uses
Conditional Uses
Parking Requirements
Access Drive Requirements
Service Loading Requirements
Refuse Collection Area Requirements
Architectural Guidelines
Building Street Orientation
Building Massing/Grouping
Building Elevation Concepts
Architectural Details
Streetscape Monumentation
Walls/Fences/Screening
Color Palette
Landscape Guidelines
Landscaping
Streetscape
Street Furniture
Corner Treatments
Plant Materials
Irrigation
Master Grading Concept Plan
Master Infrastructure Concept Plan
Master Drainage/Hydrology Concept Plan
Implementation
The Master Plan will contain maps and drawings which will be used to explain the guidelines in
a graphic manner. Bullet points with corresponding sketches will be used to give graphic
explanations of Master Plan design and development standards. The intent is to create a user
friendly Master Plan that can be easily interpreted by City Staff, the owner, and potential
individual site users.
The purpose of this Pre-Application review is not to review every aspect of the Master
Plan with the Planning Commission at this point, but to focus on the following elements:
Master Site Plan Layout
Architectural Concepts
Landscape/Hardscape Concepts
Lowe's Home Center Proposed Concurrent Application
Rancho Cucarnonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 3
Summary
MASTER SITE PLAN LAYOUT
The conceptual Master Site Plan layout is being submitted with this Pre-Application package.
Site development guidelines will be listed in the Master Plan. Since Catellus Development
Corporation is, for the most part, a build-to-suit developer, actual building footprint, square
footage and arrangement will change depending on the actual tenants. Catellus plans to
maintain ownership of the property, which will be a benefit to unifying the development of the
Corporate Park.
A conceptual lot map will be submitted with the Master Plan, identifying the relationship of
property to the east. Placement of the Subarea Line will be shown on this map. Lots are
proposed to coordinate with development appropriate to each Subarea. There will also be a
Tentative Parcel Map included with the overall package.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS
A contemporary architectural theme is proposed for the Corporate Park. Emphasis will be
placed upon entries into the buildings and street side elevations. An overall theme will be used
to create a unifying effect throughout the Corporate Park. The Lowe's Home Center will
incorporate architectural details that will be compatible with the other buildings within the
Corporate Park.
Building Design Features:
Offices and main entrances fronting on streets and pedestrian walkways
Incorporation of special materials, color, detailing, window glazing or equivalent
architectural treatment at major entries
Primary entries highlighted by the massing of the building and with landscape
treatments
Height variations to accentuate or highlight entries
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 4
Summary
Substantial variations in building massing to include changes in height and
horizontal planes
Simple roof forms to lessen building massing
Massing breaks and building projections to relate visually to the overall scale of
the building
Use of clean, contemporary building lines, reveals and accent scores
Pedestrian-scale entry ways
Employee patio areas that unite landscaping with building
Wall Treatment:
Variations in textures
Revealed pilasters
Building articulation
(2 ft. minimum) -
horizontal and vertical
Reflective window glazing
Creative use of reveals -
horizontal and vertical
Site screening
features to
consist of
concrete tilt-up
to complement
building exterior
walls with
accent
landscaping and
undulating
berming
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 5
Summary
LANDSCAPE/HARDSCAPECONCEPTS
The landscape theme for the Corporate Park emphasizes the major street intersections with
monumentation and more intense plantings. Primary entrances into sites provide enhanced
paving and focal points of landscape and/or hardscape features. Secondary entrances into
sites contain similar traits as the primary entrances, but on a more moderate scale. The
Foothill Boulevard frontage is designed with increased pedestrian scale orientation with
buildings situated closer to the street at key intersections. A preliminary plant list is provided
with the Landscape Concept Master Plan. Plantings listed are reflective of those approved in
the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
Landscape/Hardscape Features:
Enhanced landscaping at street intersections
Theme elements at street intersections

bollards, tree well seat walls, decorative planters, benches, trash receptors, seat
walls, bus shelters, etc.
Employee patios containing
tables and chairs, seat walls,
buffer planting, paved patio area,
shade trees in tree wells, etc.
Driveway entrances into
sites incorporating enhanced
landscaping and pavement
feature, as well as
opportunities for signage,
sculpture and flagpoles
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 7
Summary
LOWE'S HOME CENTER CONCURRENT APPLICATION
A Lowe's Home Center is proposed for a site
within the Master Plan area (southeast corner
of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue). It
is intended that the Development/Design
Review application will be submitted with the
Master Plan so that the processes can run
concurrently. The site for this retail-oriented
establishment has restaurant pad sites
proposed along Foothill Boulevard, as well.
The Lowe's building, as proposed, consists
of 115,000 square feet of retail area, with
20,000 square feet of office, receiving and
storage space. The building elevations for
the Lowe's Home Center are proposed to
contain the same vertical massing elements
at the main entryway, along with horizontal
reveals along the exterior wails with accents
of enhanced block/materials to reflect the
overall theme of the Corporate Park, while
maintaining a retail-oriented originality to the
Lowe's Home Center.
A special consideration of the Lowe's
Home Center site ks the screening of
the truck yard area at the southwest
corner of the site. Tilt-up concrete
walls with accent landscaping and
undulating berming will be utilized to
decrease the massing of this wall and
to blend it with the overall them of the
Corporate Park.

pRE-APPLICATION REVIEW QUESTIONS
With this Pre-Application Review, we are requesting input on the overall outline of the Master
Plan and on the proposed layout of the project area. The following items are of pdmary
concern:
Content of Master Plan - Is proposed outline of Master Plan Document acceptable?
Master Site Plan - Are areas of proposed uses and coverages acceptable?
Architectural Concepts - Are proposed design features, wail treatments, etc.
acceptable?
Subarea 7 is proposed to have more signature architecture, with restaurants,
recreational facilities, offices - smaller and more pedestrian-oriented buildings -
Can we use signature architecture for these type uses? We would like to
maintain flexibility of design and layout for the buildings east of Lowe's - can we
leave those details for discussion when actual uses are identified?
Subarea 8 is proposed to have more industrial-type architecture with design
features that promote unity among the buildings without each being exactly the
same - Is this architectural concept acceptable?
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 10
Summaq/
Landscape Concepts - Are proposed landscaping and hardscape features, use of street
furniture, etc., acceptable? We propose to have a pedestrian-access plan that is more
heavily oriented in Subarea 7, with less intense pedestrian amenities for Subarea 8. A
site p/an identifying pedestrian circulation will be provided within the Master P/an.
Delineation of the Subarea line between Subareas 7 and 8 - can subarea line be placed
at proposed cul-de-sac?
Lowe's Home Center o Are proposed elevations and site elements, specifically the
screening features, acceptable? Is the proposed garden center location at Mi/liken
Avenue frontage acceptable ?
Development Concept and Proposed Uses for Areas B, D, & E - Are proposed uses
accer~table ?
