ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15970 -
SCHNEIDER - A residential subdivision of five single family lots on 1.96 acres of
land in the Low Residential district (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located on the north
side of Pepperidge Court, west of Hellman Avenue - APN: 202-041-70.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Proiect Density: 2.5 dwelling units per acre
Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq:
North Single family residential; Low Residential District
South ~ Single family residential; Low Residential District
East Single family residential; Low Residential District
West Single family residential; flood control channel; Low Residential District
General Plan Desiqnations:
Project Site - Low Residential
North - Low Residential
South - Low Residential
East - Low Residential
West - Low Residential
Site Characteristics: The eastern portion of the project site is developed with a single family
residence. The remainder of the parcel is vacant. The site is surrounded on the north, east,
and south sides by single family residences and on the west side by a flood control channel.
The project site has a slope of approximately 5 percent from the northeast to southwest
portion of the site.
ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property and sell the lots. There is no
development application to build homes at this time; therefore, lots could be developed on an
individual basis as custom homes.

Desiqn Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(McNiel, Stewart, Fong) on a consent calender basis on April 14, 1999, and was approved as
presented,
Gradina and Technical Review Committees: The Committees reviewed the project and
recommend approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval.
The Grading Committee recommends that a 4-foot retaining wall with a 4-foot wrought iron
fence on top be constructed along the west property line (next to the flood control channel)
of Lots 1 and 2. The recommended 4-foot retaining wall would match the existing wall on the
adjacent property to the south and be consistent with the approved perimeter wall (along the
flood control channel) for Tentative Tract 15926, which is two lots south of the project site. In
addition, the natural slope is to be retained and grading minimized.
Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been prepared by the applicant and
staff has completed Part II of the Environmental Checklist. Staff feels the project will not have
a significant adverse environmental impact. If the Planning Commission concurs, then
issuance of a Negative Declaration would be in order.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 300-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract
15970 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issue a
Negative Declaration.

Comments:
a)
The project will cause changes in the absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate
and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape resulting from
subsequent development on the vacant site, Project design includes appropriate
drainage devices. The small size of the site will generate a less than significant amount
of water runoff; therefore, the impact is not considered significant.

16o MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
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 shod-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?

California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Tentative Tract 15970 Public Review Period Closes: April 28, 1999
Project Name: Project Applicant: Reiny Schneider
Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the north side of Pepperidge Court, west of
Hellman Avenue - APN: 202-041-70.
Project Description: A residential subdivision of five single family lots on 1.96 acres of land in the Low
Residential Distdct (2-4 dwelling units per acre).
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.
["l The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1)
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 cleady 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE
TRACT 15247 - SHI BATA - A request for a time extension of a previously approved
tentative tract map including design review for the development of 13 condominium
units on 1.4 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per
acre), located on the north side of 19th Street between Amethyst Street and Hellman
Avenue - APN: 201-474-05. Related file: Tree Removal Permit 91-29.
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 15247 was originally approved by the Planning Commission on
March 25, 1992. Since that time, the State granted automatic time extensions for several years
during the recession. This extended the expiration of the subject Tentative Tract to March 25, 1998.
On May 27, 1998, a time extension for the Tentative Tract was approved by the Planning
Commission. This extended the Tentative Tract's expiration date for one-year to March 25, 1999.
Prior to expiration, the applicant filed the subject time extension request.
TRACT TIME EXTENSION: In 1998, the City Council amended the City's Subdivision Ordinance
to provide for the maximum time extensions allowable under the State Subdivision Map Act. The
City may extend tentative tract maps for up to 11 years from the original approval date. Extensions
are granted in 12 month increments. There are four more 12 month time extensions available that
may be granted by the City (up to the year 2003).
Staff has analyzed the proposed time extension and compared the proposal with current
development criteria outlined in the Development Code. In 1991, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 465, which established new standards for multi-family development. The project
meets all standards, except does not provide 125 square feet of lockable storage space on the
exterior of the unit or within the garage. Staff believes that the project could easily be modified to
provide the required storage space as part of the re-application for a new Design Review approval
as noted below.
DESIGN REVIEW TIME EXTENSION: No further time extensions are possible and none was
requested by the applicant. The related Design Review application expired on March 25. 1999. In
December 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 596 establishing a five-year approval
period, with no time extensions. for Development/Design Review applications. Therefore, under
the current local law the related Design Review application would have expired on March 25. 1997.

The site contains many mature trees which am in conflict with the proposed
development and improvements. An arborist report was prepared for this site to
determine the significance of the trees and the feasibility of relocatin9 them to areas
which are not in conflict with the proposed project. As a result, the following
recommendations have been made (Exhibit "H"):
Trees No. 6-10, 13, 16, 22, 24: Not subject to protection because of size or
species. Replacement trees are not required.

Trees No. 1, 11, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21: Arborist recommends removal because
of poor 'health, structure, or species of tree(s). These trees should be
replaced with the largest nursery-grown stock available.
Trees No. 4, 5, 12, 17, 19: Arborist recommends preservation through
transportation elsewhere on site. Plotting should be incorporated into the
final landscaping plan.
Trees No. 2, 3, 23: Off-site, conservable. These trees should be protected
during construction because of their proximity to the proposed
improvements.
Staff has determined that any significant effects created by the proposed project can
be mitigated to a level that is insignificant with the relocation and replacement of
existing mature tees.

() (v) ()
(v) () ()
Comlllents:
a)
The project involves the development of 13 condominiums units. Construction
activity is likely to result in an increase in noise levels from associated grading and
development activity. Construction hours will be limited per the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code to lessen any construction-related disturbance in noise
levels to the surrounding properties. The resulting residential project is not likely to
produce a significant increase in existing noise levels.
b)
The residential project fronts 19th Street, designated as a State highway and a
secondary road in the City. The General Plan indicates that noise contours in the
601dn will be presented at the site. A noise study was prepared by Gordon Bricken
& Associates on April 8, 1991, to determine what mitigation measures would be
necessary to reduce noise levels to a permissible level. To mitigate significant
adverse impacts from traffic on 19th Street, the noise study recommends the
construction of a sound wall 5 feet in height for the first floor patios that face
south. A 4-foot high sound wall for the second floor balconies that front 19th
Street is also recommended. Noise from the future Route 210 Freeway will be
mitigated by sound walls included in freeway design, the physical separation from
Route 210, and the existing three-story apartments to the north.

of the tract map approval, construction of a storm drain and catch basin will be
required. The storm drain and catch basin will be built in accordance with the City
Plan for the storm drain system. The resulting impact on services is not likely to be
significant.

INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 99-01 - CATELLUS - A request
to allow the Community Commercial use on approximately 5.2 acres of land in
Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the
southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN: 229-011-32.
ABSTRACT: The applicant has requested amending the Industrial Area Specific Plan lISP)
definition of Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvements to allow buildings over 25,000
square feet when approved by a Condilional Use Permit. This amendment is necessary to
accommodate a Lowe's Home Improvement store proposed at the southeast corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Milliken Avenue.
ANALYSIS.:
General: The proposed text amendment would allow for home improvement stores to be
developed within Subarea 7. An application has been submitted for a Lowe's Home
Improvement store of approximately 185,225 square feet (135,200 square feet of floor area
and 49,025 square feet of garden center) and two restaurant pad buildings. The site falls
within Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Subarea 7 is intended
to function as a transition between large warehouse industrial development to the south and
the Terra Vista planned community to the north. In this vein, Subarea 7 currently allows for
retail and wholesale Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvement stores of 25,000
square feet or less. Staff believes that a large home improvement center would be consistent
with this transition of land use.
The use is being proposed as a conditionally permitted use. Lowe's has filed Conditional Use
Permit 99-04 in anticipation of the proposed amendment being approved. Site and use
specific issues would be analyzed and addressed with the Conditional Use Permit.
Environmental Assessment: The proposed amendment is not defined as a project by the
California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15378 and is, therefore, exempt from
environmental review per CEQA Section 15061 (b)l.
Facts for Findinq: The proposal is consistent with the Industrial Area Specific Plan and the
General Plan. The proposal will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or uses and will not
cause adverse environmental impacts.

RE: Application Submittal Package for the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan
Dear Mr. Buller:
On behalf of the Catellus Development Corporation, we are submitting applications for a
Development Review for the Master Plan, a Specific Plan Amendment to the Industrfal Area
Specific P/an, a Tentative Parcel Map, and the associated environmental Initial Study for property
located on approximately 140 acres in the southeast sector of Rancho Cucamonga.
The Master Plan has been 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 Plan further specifies master design cdteda while
meeting the individual design and development needs of specific projects within the area.
We are submitting a Development Review application for the Master Plan which receives approval
at the Planning Commission level. Concurrently, the Specific Plan Amendment application is
submitted, which continues on for City Council consideration after Planning Commission action.
While we realize that no final permits could be approved for an individual project until that Specific
Plan Amendment receives final reading, it does allow the project to move forward in design phases.
Another component to the process is the separate submittal by Lowe's Home Center for a
Conditional Use Permit to develop the site at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken
Avenue. The application is expected to be submitted to the City in approximately one week. This
will constitute the first phase of development for the Subarea 7 portion of the Corporate Park.
With this Application Package submittal, we are submitting the following items:
Uniform Application for Development Review, Specific Plan Amendment and Tentative Parcel Map
Completed Initial Study, Part I
Filing Fees for a total of $20,340.00
Development Review - $8553. O0

and a golf driving range in the southeast corner. The site slopes from north to south at
approximately 2 percent.
Parkinq: Parking compliance calculations will be performed with individual building projects.
The Conceptual Master Plan includes parking areas based upon building utilizations that
demand the lowest parking ratios; hence, it generally shows the maximum development that
could be allowed. Parking will be addressed as each phase is submitted for development
review.

ANALYSIS:
Backaround: The Planning Commission held a Pre-Application Review Workshop on the
project on January 13, 1999. Concerns raised by the Commissioners included ensuring
intensity of landscaping/screening along street frontages (especially Milliken Avenue),
interface with the City's Adult Sports Park/Epicenter and Masi Plaza (the Master Plan provides
for a 15-foot landscape swath and screen walls along the stadium site), large container truck
traffic circulation, and articulation of building facades. The Commission indicated that
departure from the established Activity Center concept schematic is acceptable so long as all
four corners of the intersection at Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard are addressed. See
attached minutes included as an exhibit in the Design Review Committee Action Agenda
(Exhibit "H").
B,
General: The Master Plan covers approximately 140 acres and may include more than a
dozen buildings. A new cul-de-sac street is proposed to intersect the east side of Milliken
Avenue near the dividing line between Subareas 7 and 8. A 66-foot wide private drive aisle
is proposed to connect Foothill Boulevard with the cul-de-sac bulb.
The northeast corner of the master plan area is anticipated to have research/development and
office/industrial uses, but no specific building locations have been determined. A Lowe's
Home Improvement store is proposed at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Foothill
Boulevard under a separate application (Conditional Use Permit 99-04). Other uses proposed
include warehouse, office, and restaurant. Three large (400,000 square foot plus) warehouse
buildings are proposed in the south portion of the Master Plan area. TwO of these buildings
have recently been submitted for design review (Parcels 9 and 11 ).
The site is split between Industrial Park (Subarea 7) on the northern third of the site and
General Industrial (Subarea 8) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan on the remainder. The
Industrial Park (Subarea 7) is intended to function as a transition zone between the General
Industrial area to the south and commercial/retail development to the north. The land use
program established by the Master Plan is consistent with this intent.
The City adopted the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement (included with the Design Review
Action Agenda - Exhibit "H") to establish special streetscape design features which "tie"
together the visual aspects of this important corridor. The intersection of Milliken Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard is designated as an Activity Center, The Master Plan proposes a departure
from the Activity Center design per the Supplement. The Design Review Committee has
reviewed the proposed Activity Center design and recommends approval.
Desian Review Committee: The Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Fang) reviewed the project on
April 6, 1999, and recommended approval. Please refer to attached Design Review
Committee Action Agenda (Exhibit "H").
D. Technical and Gradina Review Committees: The Committees reviewed the project and
recommend approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval.
Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant and
staff completed Part II. Staff identified potential impacts related to biological resources, traffic
congestion, and secondary access. The U.S. Fish and. Wildlife Service identified the project
area as a potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF). As a result, habitat
"PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 99-11- CATELLUS

Page 3
assessments and biological surveys will be required to determine potential impacts to the DSF
habitat for future development projects within the Master Plan area. A habitat assessment
and soils study were recently conducted for the Lowe's Home Improvement store project
(Conditional Use Permit 99-04), which covers approximately 5.2 acres at the southeast corner
of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue, by a biologist permitted by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to conduct surveys for DSF. Results of the habitat assessment (Thomas
Olsen and Associates, Inc, March 10, 1999, and amended April 1, 1999) and soils survey
(Southern California Geological, January 11, 1999) indicated that at least this portion of the
site does not contain adequate DSF habitat since there is a lack of actual Delhi series soils
present, the site has been disturbed through rough grading practices, and there are no
extensive areas of exposed sand. No other unique, rare, or endangered animal species are
known to be located on the project site.
A Congestion Management Program/Traffic Impact Analysis (CMP/TIA) has been prepared
to determine whether the project will cause increases in vehicle trips or traffic congestion in
excess of projections for the adopted land use. The CMP/TIA (Transtech Engineers. Inc..
March 15, 1999) concluded that the project will result in excessive future traffic congestion.
The report recommends certain roadway and freeway improvements to accommodate the
project's generated traffic. A mitigation measure requires the developer to install frontage
street improvements in their ultimate configuration, per City Ordinance, and to pay
Transportation Development fees for improvements within the City limits and CMP mitigation
fees for improvements outside the City limits. The project includes a cul-de-sac street (Street
"A") in excess of 600 feet in length; therefore. some form of secondary access to Foothill
Boulevard is necessary for fire safety. A mitigation measure requires such access be
provided. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration is in order.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development
Review 99-11 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and
issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration

Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park
Master Plan
Master Plan Overview
This Master Plan is designed to ensure that an integrated. well planned, high quality environment
for the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park is accomplished. Based on the goals of the Industrial
Area Specific Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement, this Master Plan provides for
orderly development of the project area while maintaining the flexibility needed to respond to
changes that may occur over time. A thorough review of the Industrial Area Specific Plan has
provided a base of understanding with which the plan is developed. A vocabulary of building
shapes and sizes, materials and' textures, landscaping and street furniture with an emphasis on
providing identifiers for entry statements, corddor treatments and comer monumentation is included
to create a cohesive and unique setting for the Corporate Park.
Project Description
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park is an approximate 140 acre development located within the
southeast section of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The Corporate Park is planned to contain
industrial facilities and a commercial element, with possible office, R & D, and recreational uses
that will complement its surrounding environment while providing distinguishing characteristics that
will benefit the City.
Project Location
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park is situated along both sides of Milliken Avenue, bordered by
Foothill Boulevard to the north and Arrow Route to the south. The Epicenter abuts the property to
the east. The project site is located within portions of Subareas 7 and 8 of the City's IndustrYal Area
Specific Plan, with Subarea 7 encompassing the northern portion of the site and Subarea 8
covering the remainder of the Corporate Park. The Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park is
delineated on Exhibit 1.

Surrounding Land Uses
To the north, across Foothill Boulevard, the property is vacant. To the south, across Arrow Route.
the property is primarily vacant with a few industrial buildings (including KOT). To the east, are the
Masi Retail Center and recreational facilities (Epicenter). To the west, across the railroad tracks,
the property contains industrial buildings. Exhibit 1 shows the properties surrounding the Rancho
Cucamonga Corporate Park.
Purpose, Authority and Intent of Master Plan
The Industrial Area Specific Plan establishes that the purpose of Master Plan requirements is to
provide for integrated development throughout the Industrial Area at the earliest possible time in
the review process.
A conceptual Master Plan is required in conjunction with development proposals to assure
integrated development, enhance harmonious and orderly development, mitigate site
constraints, and maximize land potential.
The area of Master Plans will be determined by logical planning boundaries and site
conditions.
Master Plans shall address harmonious site plan relationships and the potential for shared
access and reciprocal parking by illustrating conceptual building pad locations, circulation
and parking lot configurations, and conceptual grading and drainage.
Future development may be allowed to vary from the Master Plan, provided the proposed
project is compatible with the intent of the Master Plan and satisfies all development
requirements within the Land Use category.
It is the intent and purpose of this document to provide a comprehensive set of development
regulations and guidelines consistent with the project land use, the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Genera/Plan and the Industrial Area Specific Plan. To the extent that the development and design
standards in the Master Plan are specifically intended to replace other regulations, guidelines,
policies and ordinances of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, the provisions contained in this Master
Plan shall apply. All other City requirements, regulations, guidelines, policies and ordinances not
addressed by this Master Plan remain in effect.
The Master Plan is adopted as policies by resqlution of the Planning Commission. Following
adoption, this Master Plan will constitute the legally established development guidelines for
properties within the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park. Development plans or agreements,
tract or parcel maps, conditional use permits, development/design reviews and any other action
requiring ministerial or discretionary approval within the Master Plan area shall be consistent with
the Master Plan as approved and adopted by the City.
H Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 3
Master Plan Framework
The Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan is intended to serve as a guide for
development within an overall framework directed toward achieving consistency with the City of
Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement.
The Master Plan will specify overall design criteria while allowing for individual design and
development requirements of specific projects.
It is not the intention of the Master Plan to 'cast future development patterns in stone.' Future
development may be allowed to vary from the Master Plan as long as the proposed project is
compatible with the intent of the Master Plan and satisfies all development and design guideline
standards.
Master Plan Revisions
In order to ensure that the Rancho Cucamonga Master Plan is kept current, the Master Site Plan,
which is conceptual by design, will be revised to reflect actual development of sites as they are
approved by the City. The Master Plan revision process will be concurrent with the individual site
entitlement process. Other components such as the Landscape Plan Concepts, Master Grading
Concept Plan or Master Infrastructure Concept Plan will not be updated in the Master Plan because
the basic concepts will remain the same. These individual elements will be submitted with the
development plans for entitlement of each site.
Industrial Area Specific Plan
The Industrial Area Specific Plan provides objectives, standards and guidelines for development
in the industrial area in an efficient, orderly and attractive manner. These overall guidelines and
standards have been incorporated into the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan. The
specific requirements for the two subareas that cover the site have also been considered in the
establishment of the guidelines for the Master Plan.
Subarea 7 - This is directly south of Foothill Boulevard which represents an important land use
edge between the City's Industrial Area and a' large master planned community to the north.
Foothill Boulevard is the City's primary commercial corridor and serves as a gateway to the City.
Along Foothill Boulevard, the intersections at Haven, Milliken, and Rochester Avenues have been
designated as activity centers to promote concentrated activity and establish a unique design
theme. Buildings are allowed to be located closer to the street right-of-way and strong pedestrian
links between sites are provided.
Subarea 8 - This area functions to provide for General Industrial activities and to assure for a
transition area from the Heavy Industrial category located south of this subarea. North of Arrow
Route and west of Milliken Avenue, the industrial uses should be allowed to continue and expand
with all service according to the development standards of the plan. These large-scale building
sites are more self-contained, with a strong emphasis on the streetscape design linking the
individual sites together.

Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement (to the Industrial Area Specific Plan)
The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan did not cover all areas of the thoroughfare, including the
vicinity of the Foothill Boulevard/Milliken Avenue intersection, which is included in the project site.
The Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement to the Industrial Area Specific Plan is intended to extend
the concepts of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan to the areas that were not covered in the
original plan. It is the objective of the Foothifl Boulevard Specific Plan to create a dynamic
boulevard that is attractive and contains development of high quality with an emphasis on the
human scale through the use of pedestrian areas and walkways. The intent is to establish a
unifying design image reflective of the community heritage and identity, in an economically viable
setting. The goal of the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement is to create a community im age that
expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho Cucamonga.
There are no existing buildings or landscape features located at the Milliken activity center
intersection. As a result, the Development Review process will establish the design theme and
concept for the area when reviewing the development proposals. Adjacent new developments
need not duplicate the architectural style of previous submittals but should be compatible in terms
of architecture and orientation with the other corners of the intersection.
The Master Plan accomplishes these objectives by providing a theme element at the intersection
of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Components of that theme element carries over to the
streetscape features and into the building sites to provide a unifying identification for the Corporate
Park.
H Rancho Cucarnonga Corporate Park Master Plan Page 5
Site Planning Guidelines
The site planning criteria for the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park is envisioned to create a
visually stimulating atmosphere that will establish a strong identity for the Corporate Park while
coordinating well with the design elements of existing development in the area. Exhibit 2 delineates
the Conceptual Master Site Plan for the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park.
Site Layout
Sites should be designed to be visually appealing and feature interesting attributes. Building and
parking layout will create opportunities for pedestrian orientation, landscaped areas containing
monumentation adjacent to streets. areas within the sites containing hardscape features, and safe
and efficient vehicular movement on site and between sites.
Subarea 7Features - A Bubble Diagram is included for Subarea 7 (Exhibit 2). The purpose of the
Bubble Diagram is to demonstrate potential development patterns without providing a conceptual
site plan. The size of the individual development is allowed to vary greatly in order to maintain a
flexibility to achieve compatibility with the established uses to the east (Masi Retail Center and the
recreation facilities). Discussed development for this area has focused on specialty retail and
restaurant, office, R & D, and recreational-type establishments. The intent is to create a
pedestrian-friendly environment with human scale architecture, along with a pedestrian and
vehicular circulation system that internally and externally ties sites together. Focal points such as
the Milliken Activity Center and major entry drives into sites will contain art work or have enhanced
architectural features on the buildings.
Given that Subarea 7 is a Bubble Diagram at this point. the access drive from Foothill Boulevard
to the cul-de-sac (Street A) is not defined. When this area is developed, particular attention will
be given to designing the access drive to discourage through-truck traffic without creating a
bottleneck situation. Also, signage stating that through-truck traffic is not allowed should be
installed where appropriate.
Phase I of Subarea 7 is the development of the Lowe's Home Center site, a long with two restaurant
pad sites. This initial phase will be designed to integrate with the various possible future uses to
the east through the use of landscape and hardscape materials, and continuation of pedestrian and
vehicular circulation patterns towards the adjacent parcels to the east. This phase will be submitted
with a Conditional Use Permit to allow the building contain 135,000 sq. ft.
Subarea 8 Features- The Subarea 8 portion of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park (Exhibit
2) has a conceptual site layout included with the Master Plan. Industrial Distribution Centers will
be the mainstay of development in this area. Sites will be designed to enhance the architectural
features of the buildings and landscaping will p~ovide a unifying effect to the area. Pedestrian
circulation will be focused within the streetscape portions of the area, where landscape and
hardscape features will be incorporated.
Subarea Division Line
With this Master Plan, the division line between Subareas 7 and 8 is established at a line that
projects east and west along the cul-de-sac street located south of Foothill Boulevard, as identified
in Exhibit 2.

Architectural Guidelines
Sites and buildings will be designed to blend with and complement surrounding land use and
architecture. As indicated in the Industrfal Area Specific Plan, climate, physical setting and
Southern California architectural traditions will be considered when sites are being developed.
Since there are no existing buildings located at the Milliken Activity Center, there is no pre-set
architectural flavor established for this area. New development will not duplicate the architectural
style of buildings in the vicinity, but will be compatible in terms of street orientation and architectural
quality.
Note: In each guideline section, guidelines for the entire Corporate Park are listed first, with any
specific guidelines for Subarea 7 and 8 subsequently listed, if required.
Building Street Orientation
O Building orientation will consider vehicular, transit, and pedestrian pattems.
o Building orientation will consider opportunities for wind protection.

through the various landscaping elements proposed in the Master Plan, specifically landscape
materials and hardscape features. These elements will unify the Corporate Park into a cohesive
environment, while still allowing for individual site identity through the use of enhanced theme
elements and architectural details.
Project unification will be further enhanced through the development of a pedestrian circulation
system utilizing a meandering sidewalk design within landscaped parkways. Within the Subarea
7 (northern) portion of the Corporate Park the focus will be on pedestrian scale orientation of
buildings by situating them closer to the street at key intersections, and designing for closer siting
of buildings along Foothill Blvd. Pedestrian links between the various sites will:be provided as well.
The Foothill Boulevard theme will be carded out through this portion of the corridor along with art
work or enhanced architectural features located at major drives into sites. The Subarea 8
(southern) portion of the Corporate Park is designed for larger industrial distribution type buildings
and will focus less on site-to-site pedestrian links, and use the street parkways to create pedestrian
circulation. The design of the Milliken Activity Center will create a focal point for the Rancho
Cucamonga Corporate Park and continue the high quality of landscaping established along Foothill
Boulevard.
Landscape Zones
Primary landscape design concepts should consider streetscape, on-site landscaping, special
accent treatment and pedestrian amenities.

Master Grading Concept Plan
The Master Grading Concept Plan provides the preliminary grading engineedng for the Corporate
Park. Line-of-sight issues as defined in the City's Engineering Division Driveway Policy and Street
Design Policy will be addressed at the time of development of each site. Exhibit 3 delineates the
conceptual Grading Plan.
Master Infrastructure Concept Plan
The Concept Utility Plan provides preliminary engineering information for water and sanitary sewer
service to the Corporate Park. Storm drainage information is also included on this plan. Exhibit
4 delineates the Concept Utility Plan.
Water System
Water mains in Milliken Avenue and Arrow Route will provide service to the project site. Along
Milliken Avenue, a 12 inch water line will feed individual sites with 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch
connections. Along Arrow Route, a 16 inch water line will feed individual sites with 10 inch and 12
inch connections.
Sanitary Sewer System
Sanitary Sewer mains in Milliken Avenue and Arrow Route will provide service to the project site.
Along Milliken Avenue, an 8 inch sewer line will serve individual sites with 6 inch and 8 inch
connections. Along Arrow Route, an 8 inch sewer line will serve individual sites with 6 inch and 8
inch connections.
Master Drainage/Hydrology Concept Plan
The drainage concept plan for the project site will provide the required level of protection from
flooding. As it currently exists, the site surface drains from north to south along agdcultural
furrows. Additionally, rainfall runoff enters the site from the north through a storm culvert which
crosses under Foothill Boulevard. Over time this runoff has cut a swale which crosses the site
bearing to the southwest, eventually draining onto Milliken Avenue where it is intercepted by an
existing storm drain inlet 500 feet to the south. This storm drain continues south on Milliken
Avenue to Arrow Route, then turns to the east along Arrow Route, continuing past the project site's
easterly proper~y line. Existing storm drain laterals have been stubbed to property along Arrow
Route. A detention basin exists on the project site in the southeast portion of the project area
(currently in use as a golf driving range). This captures a large portion of the on-site runoff.
Improvement of the project site will require additions to the existing storm drain system in order to
eliminate the need for the detention basin. As the project is developed, the existing storm drain
laterals will be extended to the north as dictated by building and parking lot layout. Additionally,
the existing storm drain in Milliken Avenue will be extended to accommodate the drainage.
Exhibit 4 contains preliminary engineedng for the storm drainage coverage for the Corporate
Park.

Construction Phasing
Milliken Activity Center - Landscape and hardscape right-of-way improvements at the southeast
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue will occur when the first site is developed. At the
pad site, located immediately at the intersection, 'improvements will be made once that pad site is
developed. The Activity Center landscape plan indicates the phasing of this portion of the project
site. The southwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue will be improved with
landscape and hardscape improvements at the time that site is developed.
Streetscape Improvements - As individual sites are developed, the appropriate streetscape
improvements will be installed.
Along Foothill Boulevard, the entire Corporate park streetscape frontage improvements will be
installed with the development of the first site in Subarea 7. The median improvements will also
occur with the development of the first site.
Along Milliken Avenue, the development of the first site will include total streetscape improvements
at the site frontage, as well as installation of sidewalks and street trees along the remaining portion
of the Milliken Avenue parkway, on the side of the street the project is located. The remaining
landscape and hardscape features will be installed in conjunction with the development of the
individual sites. The streetscape features on the opposite side of the street would occur in similar
fashion.
With the development of the first site fronting Milliken Avenue, the entire median improvements will
be installed.
Along Arrow Route, there are two sites proposed, one on either side of Milliken Avenue. With the
development of each site, the streetscape for that portion of the north side of Arrow Route will be
improved.
Infrastructure Improvements - With initial Milliken Avenue improvements, the backbone
infrastructure for water, sanitary sewer and drainage will be installed. Individual feeder lines for
water and sanitary sewer will be installed as sites develop. As the project is developed, the existing
storm drain laterals will be extended to the north as indicated by building and parking lot layout.
Individual Site Development - As stated in the Master Plan Overview section of this document, the
Master Site Plan, which is conceptual by design, will be revised to reflect actual development of
sites as they are approved by the City. The Master Plan revision process will be concurrent with
the individual site entitlement process.
The other components within the Master Plan, such as the Landscape Plan Concepts, Master
Grading Concept Plan, Master Infrastructure Concept Plan, or Master Drainage/Hydrology Concept
Plan, will not be updated with the development of each individual site since the overall concepts
will not be altered. Specific site requirements for each of these elements will be addressed during
the entitlement process for individual site development, under the guidelines established by this
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan and per the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Development Standards and all Code requirements.

Review and Approval Process
Projects within the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park require approval by the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Commission in accordance with the development criteria and standards
established by the City's Development Code, Industrial Area SpeciFic Plan, and Foothill Boulevard
Design Supplement.
The owners/lessees of each project are required to implement all provisions of'these standards as
applicable to their specific project. All architectural plans, landscape plans and graphic designs
shall comply with City standards and with appropriate City, State and Federal laws.
Detailed and specific requirements for project reviews by the City of Rancho Cucamonga are
explained in the 'Check List for a Commercial or Industrial Design/Technical Review' package.
This form, available from the City Planning Department, specifies filing requirements, filing fees,
plan preparation guidelines and requirements.
For individual site entitlement, Permitted Uses will follow the City's Development Review Process
and Conditional Uses will follow the City's Conditional Use Permit Process. As the individual
entitlements are processed, the Master Plan Site Plan will be concurrently revised with a separate
Development/Design Review Process application.
In the event that the Master Plan requires a major revision, the Development/Design Review
Process will be followed, with appropriate revisions to individual concept plans within the Master
Plan, as well as additional environmental documentation, if required.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-11 - CATELLUS - A request
to establish a master plan for the development of the "Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park," a
140-acre commercial and industrial complex in Subarea 7 (industrial Park) and Subarea 8 (General
Industrial) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, including a sho0ping center anchored by a home
improvement store, to be located on Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route -
APN: 229-011-25, 31, and 32. Related files: Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 99-01,
Conditional Use Permit 99-04 (Lowe's), and Tentative Parcel Map 15295.
Proiect DescriDtion: The Master Plan covers approximately 140 acres and may include more than a
dozen buildings. The Master Plan area takes access off Foothill Boulevard to the north, Arrow Route
to the south, and Milliken Avenue runs through the site from north to south. A new cul-de-sac street
is proposed to intersect the east side of Milliken Avenue near the dividing line between Subareas 7 and
8. A 66-foot wide private drive aisle is proposed to connect Foothill Boulevard with the cul-de-sac bulb.
The northeast corner of the master plan area is planned to have research/development and
office/industrial uses. but no specific building locations have been determined. A Lowe's home
improvement store is proposed at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. A
separate Conditional Use Permit application will be processed for the Lowe's building on Parcel 5.
Other uses proposed include warehouse, office, and restaurant. Three large (400,000 square foot
plus) warehouse buildings are proposed in the south portion of the Master Plan area. Two of these
buildings have recently been submitted for design review (GATX) on Parcels 11 and 13.
Desiqn Parameters: The site is split ,between Industrial Park (Subarea 7) on the northern third of the
site and General Industrial (Subarea 8) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The light industrial
(Subarea 7) is intended to function as a transition zone between the medium industrial area to the
south and commercial/retail development to the nodh.
The City adopted the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement (see attached) to establish special street
scape design features which "tie" together the visual aspects of this important corridor. The intersection
of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is designated as an Activity Center. Certain features are
required for Activity Centers such as formal hard scape and landscape treatments. reduced building
setbacks from the street, and pedestrian orientation. The Design Supplement includes a schematic
Activity Center concept plan. which provides an example of how these elements can be designed. The
applicant is proposing a design for the Activity Center which incorporates these elements but is a
departure from the adopted Activity Center design. Note Major Issue 1 below.
Backqround: The Planning Commission held a Pre-Application Review Workshop on the project on
January 13. 1999. Concerns raised by the Commissioners included ensuring intensity of
landscaping/screening along street frontages (especially Milliken Avenue). interface with the City's
Adult Sports Park/Epicenter and Masi Plaza (the Master Plan provides for a 15-foot landscape swath
and screen walls along the stadium site). large container truck traffic circulation, and articulation of
building facades. The Commission indicated that depadure from the established Activity Center
concept schematic is acceptable so long as all four corners of the intersection at Milliken Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard are addressed. See attached minutes.
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. The proposed "theme element" Activity Center design for the intersection of Milliken Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard includes public art, raised planter/project identification monument signs,
F_

7-foot decorative planters pots, and special tree planrings. The Activity Center also includes a
unique paving pattern consisting of a 12-foot wide, grid patterned, earth toned main field with a
flush, 4-foot wide natural concrete sidewalk meandering throGgh it. In addition to considering the
merits of the applicants proposed design scheme, the Commission should discuss, as a policy
matter, how much flexibility should be allowed from the adopted Activity Center design. Design
variations have been allowed in several projects, such as Foothill Marketplace, Masi Plaza, and
Terra Vista Promenade.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
The main north-south drive aisle connection between Foothill Boulevard and the cul-de-sac bulb
shall be designed to prevent truck traffic from using that route to access industrial buildings. This
could be accomplished through limited turning radii/driveway offsets, the use of "no truck access"
signs, traffic channelization, or a combination thereof.
Jacaranda trees are proposed as accent trees framing driveway entrances and elsewhere.
Unfortunately, Jacarandas have not been found to hold up to seasonal high winds. Suggest
replacing with another type of accent tree such as Crape Myrtle (which is used in the Activity
Center landscape treatment).
3. Consider provision of public art .pieces in areas other than the Activity Center such as plazas.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
The Master Plan Architectural Guidelines shall include a provision for use of two primary exterior
building materials, consistent with Planning Commission Industrial Area Design Policy (Resolution
89-158).
2. The Master Plan Architectural Guidelines shall include a provision that all equipment, both
ground- and roof-mounted, shall be completely screened from view of surrounding streets.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the above comments.

PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW 98-11 - CATELLUS - The proposed master plan for the
development of "Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park," a 140 acre commercial and industrial
complex in the Industrial Park (Subarea 7) and General Industrial (Subarea 8) Districts of
the Industrial Area Specific Plan, and including a shopping center anchored by a home
improvement store, to be located on Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow
Route - APN: 229-011-25, 31, and 32.
Brad Buller, City Planner, explained the purpose and goals of the Pre-Application Review process
and indicated that due to complexity of the project. extra time would be provided for the meeting.
Pamela Steele, the applicant's planner, introduced the Catellus development team. reviewed the
basic aspects of the master plan. and outlined what they hoped to accomplish at the meeting.
Chades McPhee, Catellus representative, reviewed the anticipated land uses and the nature of
how Catellus develops land.
Chades, Lamb. the project landscape architect, reviewed the landscape and street scape design
intent to unify the master planned development.
Dennis Hill, project architect. reviewed the integration and mix of architectural design features
throughout the project.
Don Winn. Lowe's representative, briefly described the Lowe's style of business, operation. and
size requirements.
Brent Le Count. Associate Planner. indicated that staff's comments would be presented in
accordance with the outline provided by the applicant. He observed that locating the district
boundary between Subareas 7 and 8 along the proposed public street is consistent with the
flexibility built into the Industrial Area Specific Plan and makes good planning sense. Given that
land uses within the northeast comer of the master plan area are the least defined. he asked the
Commission preference on how development in this area relate to Mast Plaza. Foothill Boulevard,
and the Lowe's buildings. He observed that loading areas for the Lowe's project and rail spur
served industrial buildings should be carefully treated given the proximity to Milliken Avenue. He
questioned how the large industrial building at the southeast corner of the master plan relates to
PC Adjoumed Minutes
.,E

the Quakes Stadium. Mr. Le Count indicated that staff is supportive of having the buildings
designed to respect their usage rather than attempting to convey an industrial flair. He suggested
hard scape, street scape, and landscape elements could unify the planning area. He thought
industrial buildings fronting Milliken Avenue should have significantly upgraded architecture. He
observed that the intersection of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is a designated Activity
Center per the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) and the master plan design for the
intersection is different from the FBSP design. He suggested the master plan should include a
design for the north side of the intersection since what's done on the south will establish a theme
for the north. He remarked that industrial buildings to the south will create a draw for large
container truck traffic through the northeast comer area. He recommend significant restudy of
Lowe's architecture, because he felt it appears to be a hybridization of industrial and retail
architecture resulting in something that fits into neither category. He suggested relocating the
garden center to the east side of building, or at a minimum, designing it to be completely
architecturally integrated with the building. He observed that signature architecture for pad
restaurant buildings is acceptable and consistent with Mimi's Caf~ and Applebee's architecture;
however, if a fast food drive-thru user is anticipated, that should be shown now with the master
plan. He remarked that the main drive aisle entry to the Lowe's center has no formal defined focal
point destination.
Commissioner Mannedno felt that the Lowe's building should not be designed with an industrial
flair, that it should be designed to be what it is. He thought the eventual land uses for the
northeast comer area should not be totally left to market demand but should be nailed down as
much as possible now. He favored having the rail spur served building within the industrial portion
even if it means having truck loading fronting Milliken Avenue. He also preferred commercial
development on Foothill Boulevard instead of industrial
t
Commissioner Macia s echoed Commissioner Mannerino's comment about commercial uses being
appropriate along Foothill Boulevard. He expressed concerns about circulation and that the main
entrance to Lowe's center should have a formal destination/entry statement. He said the design
should avoid long stretches of uninterrupted building walls for industrial buildings fronting Milliken
Avenue. He expressed concern with how the project relates to Quakes Stadium. given that a large
industrial building is shown designated with truck loading along the east side.
Commissioner Stewart indicated that she does not wish to see significant areas of parking fronting
onto Foothill Boulevard. She concurred regarding entry points to the Lowe's center and said the
main entry should be enhanced. She preferred the garden center be relocated so it would be less
prominent relative to street frontages. She did not favor the use of perforated metal features as
a building matedal for the Lowe's building or garden center. She preferred a softer design for the
Activity Center at Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue as opposed to a more urban, formal
treatment. She thought employee eating areas, benches, bus shelters. and other pedestrian-
fdendly amenities should be used extensively to facilitate usage of the project at a pedestrian
level.
Commissioner Tolstoy supported locating the subarea district boundary along the proposed public
street. He commented that retail uses along Foothill Boulevard are appropriate. as are signature
pad buildings. He suggested that the Lowe's project be carefully designed to facilitate customer
exiting for customers purchasing large and bulky items such as lumber, similar to the way Home
Depot at Rochester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is designed. He preferred that rail served
buildings be located in the industrial portion with truck loading fronting Milliken Avenue if the
loading areas are effectively screened. He thought parking along Foothill Boulevard is acceptable
so long as berrning and landscaping provide an adequate buffer. He favored retail uses for
buildings in the northeast comer area if the market will bear it. He felt the large building in the
PC Adjourned Minutes -5- ~: '~'<~ January 13, 1999
southeast comer area can be buffered from the Quakes Stadium. He thought it may be best to
relocate the garden center to be less visually prominent relative to street frontages; otherwise,
significant screening and des!gn features will be necessary.
Chairman McNiel asked about anticipated uses for the northeast comer area.
Mr. McPhee responded frankly that they are just not sure, that retail may not be feasible given the
retail drain caused by the Mills project. He said that he has lined up interested industrial users for
the buildings to the south but that he has not yet seen a retail or office interest in the northeast
comer area buildings. He said the intent is to simply demonstrate potential building massing in
the northeast area of the plan.
Commissioner Tolstoy interjected that he would not wish to see development proposals come in
for review in a piecemeal fashion, He also stressed the need for including public art wherever
possible.
Chairman McNiel indicated that the Lowe's building should not be designed with an industrial flair,
that it's design should be consistent with its retail use. He stated retail development along Foothill
Boulevard should be designed to be user friendly, warm, and comfortable and restaurants are
encouraged. He concurred that the subarea boundary should be located along the proposed
street. He commented that landscaping along the Milliken Avenue corridor should be as lush as
possible. He felt the Foothill Boulevard/Milliken Avenue intersection street scape design should
not have to follow the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Activity Center concept and felt the
pedestrian aspect of the Activity Center isn't appropriate. He cautioned the applicant to be
sensitive to the interface between the proposed area and Mast Plaza and Quakes Stadium to the
east. Chairman McNiel felt the master plan is a great idea and he welcomed Lowe's to the City.
Mr. Buller asked for clarification on how the Commission felt about having a north-south
connection through the northeast comer area, per Engineering recommendations, given potential
for truck traffic through the area.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, indicated that a connection could occur between the proposed
cul-de-sac and Arrow Route instead of Foothill Boulevard. He said that the cul-de-sac exceeds
600 feet in lenglh and therefore does not meet Fire Safety access requirements.
Chairman McNiel indicated that he would not wish to see large container truck traffic through the
northeast comer area of the plan. The other Commissioners agreed.
Mr, Bullet asked the Commission whether they would be in favor of allowing this master plan to
proceed forward and only show access points for the northeast corner of the project; thus
deferring Planning Commission review of building location, size, shape, uses, and architecture to
a later date.
Commissioner Tolstoy indicated he would not object to such an approach so long as an
architectural pallet for the area is defined.
Mr. Buller summarized the meeting: highlighting previous issues raised by Mr. Le Count and noted
that there appeared to be consensus that signature architecture is acceptable for the pad buildings
with the Lowe's center; only one median island break will be allowed on Foothill Boulevard; having
the district boundary happen along the proposed public street is acceptable; the industrial portion
of the master plan is to remain flexible in terms of specific building size, shape, and location; and

III. DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. ACTIVITY CENTERS:
Activity centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevard corridor definccl as "Thcme" or
"Sta~ment" areas which "tie" together the visual aslx'cts of the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the city,
promote concentrated activity at tJ~se areas, and give identity and theme to the areas in which they are
located. The activity centers are localed contiguous to Foothill Boulevard as indicated in Figure 2.
ACTIVITY CENTERS
FIgure 2 - Activity Center Locations
Because tinge comers of the Haven Avenue intoneorion are fully or partially developed, the devel-
opment provis/ons of the activity center are limited to thos~ strutscape and landscape improvements within
the public right-of-way. Therefore, many of the following standards apply only to the MilIiken Avenue and
Rochester Avenue activity centers:
1. Streetscape:
a. All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The building
setback areas will be enhanced pedcstrian zones with spedal harriscape materials, formal landscape arrange-
ments, and pedestrian Icvel llghting.
b. Streetscape elements such as boliards, c~osswalks with spedal paving materials, light
standards, and street furniture should be uniform throughout the Foothill Boulevard corridor.
c. The concept within the activity center is to incorporate a formal, regularly spaced,
sircot tree planting systcm utilizing a palette oir informally shaped, colorful trccs.
d. The urban or formal streetscape design characteristic of the activity center should
extend along Foothill Boulevard and secondary/intersecting streets to a point of logical transition to the
suburban parkway. Typically, the design will extend to at least the tint driveway or as modified through the
design review process. The extent of ~e urban streetscape should he able to adjust to changes in public right-
'conditions, such as right mm lanes and bus bays.
?/91
SIte Planning:
a. At activity centers, buildings may be placed at or adjacent to the front setback line to
c~,ate a more appealing, active streetscape. Front yard areas of parking lots dominating the streetscene are
specifically prohibited.
b, Multi-story buildings shall be designed to relate to the pedestrian level, All ground
story facades shall be designed to relate to the human scale. This can be accomplished through the breaking
of facades into hays and the s/gnage brought down in size and location. Further, this reduction in scale can be
established through the use of denruts which add horizontal articulation to the facades. Examples of these
elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings. (Milliken & Rochester only.)
c. Buildings shah be designed to eliminate a fragmented, strip commercial appearance
and should be oriented tu the activity center (Milliken & Rochester only).
d. Architecture and outdoor spaces along Foothill Boulevard shall be tntegrally designed
and oriented toward the pedestrian experience. The experience should be visually diverse and stimulating
and should include activities that create a sense of variety and interest (Milliken & Rochester only).
e. Structures, pathways, and landscaping shall be incorporated wi thin the site so as to
ensure ease of access from one site to adjoining sites in a safe manner.
f. Building entrances shall be designed to accommodate logical pedestrian access from
the Foothill Boulevard right-of-way. This may include direct entrances from Foothill Boulevard, separations
in the buildings that allow access to the interior plaza areas, or other appropriate methods.
3. Architectural Concept:
a. Within individual activity center, the architectural style should be consistent to
provide continuity of design at the intcr~-'ction.
1. Milliken Activity Center - There are no existing buildings located at the Millikcn
activity center intersection. As a result, the Development Review process will establish the flavor for the area
when reviewing the development proposals. New developments need not "duplicate" the architectural style
of previous submittals but must be compatible in terms of architecture and orientation with the other
comer(s) of the intersection.
2. Rochester AcUvity Center - New proposals shall consider and respect the
architectural style of existing buildings. For example, the Aggazzotti Winery at the southeast comer of
Footh/ll and Rochester, is a potential National Historic Registry candidate. Any proposals for this activity
center should.be designed to be compatible with this structure. This does not mean that new proposals must
emulate the architectural style of the winery but, rather, that they must complement existing buildings.
b, Differentiate the ground floor facades from the s~x:ond floor in recognition of the
differences in the character of activities at the gn:mnd floor level. Ezamples include, but are not limited to, the
use of storefront glass, stepped-hack or tiered forms, fenestration, and other appropriate architectural features
facing Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, and Rochester Avenue.
4. Innclseape C, orlcept: The activity centers shall be distinguished from suburban (informal)
parkway areas through the use of formal, urban tree planrings. These formal plantings shall border all
activity centers and shall define these a.reas as being higher intensity, urban districts. The plantings shall
consist of an offset double row of C. rape Myrtle (Lagerst~oemia indica) trees along each road frontage. Addi-
tional plant materials ( evei~:julm canopy I='ees, palms, etc.) may be introduced to supplement the C. rape
Myrtle as a backdrop. The type and location of the additional materials should be based on the particular
buiding design, scale, and setback.

FIgure 3 - Activity Center Concepts/Examples
Foothill Botdevard Specific Plan
Part III. Section 8
8.3.2 Activity Center/Intersection Concept
All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage as much as
practicable. The 25 foot buildin9 setback areas will be enriched Pedestrian zones. with
special hardscape materials, formal landscape arrangements (see illustrative Site Plan),
and pedestrian-level lighting. Other streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks,
and street furniture should assume a decidedly village oriented theme of earlh-tone
colors and warm materials such as stained wood, river rock, black wrought iron, and
textured stucco.
Two activity centers exhibit some slight modifications to the concept described above.
Bear Gulch Village activity center will exhibit a less formal, more natural setting while the
Etiwanda activity center will be similar in appearance to the Foothill BoulevardNineyard
Avenue intersection. The concept wil be ess pedestrian meaning less harriscape
materials, plazas, and furniture and more turf. landscaping, and betms.
The concept within the activity center area is to ncorporate a formal, regularly spaced
street tree planting system utilizing an informally shaped. colorful street tree palette. The
trees are to be planted 30 feet on center and are to be placed between 2 to 5 feet inside
the property line.
The activity center/intersection concept urban streetscape design shall extend the full
length of the design plan priority areas along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. At the
cross streets. the design shall extend at least as far as the first ddveway north and south
on the cross streets. The extent of the urban streetscape design may be modified
through the design review process in order to adjust for local public right-of-way
conditions and ensure a logical alignment of similar features on opposing sides of the
street.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA ESTABLISHING DESIGN POLICIES FOR
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS REQUIRING ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT
AND CREATIVE USE OF BUILDING MATERIALS WITHIN THE
INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has expressed design concerns with
painted tilt-up concrete industrial buildings, as they lack variety, have
inadequate architectural treatment, increase maintenance, and create dated
building design and previous projects have not adequately addressed the design
concerns; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to establish a design goal to' guide future
development; and
WHEREAS, design policies are necessary to expound and implement the
established urban design guidelines and standards of the Industrial Specific
Plan; and
WHEREAS, such design policies are needed to provid~ clear direction
and guidance to developers and staff alike.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commission does hereby establish design policies for the additional
architectural treatment and creative use of building materials as follows:
SECTION 1: Goal Statement
The intent of the design policies is to assist the designer in
understanding and complying with the Urban Design Guidelines and Standards of
the Industrial Specific Plan. The goal is to ensure high quality and timeless
building design, which includes building entry focal point, sufficient
articulation to building plane, and the creative use of building materials.
These design policies expound the established Urban Design Guidelines of the
Industrial Specific Plan and shall apply to all industrial buildings within
the Specific Plan area.
SECTION 2: Design Criteria
Desirable architecture shall project a high quality,
progressive, sophisticated style of development.
Variations in architectural style, construction
methods and materials are encouraged.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
RE: ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT
December 13, 1989
Page 2
89-158
All building entrances shall be well articulated and
project a formal entrance statement through
variations of architectural planes, pavement surface
treatment, and landscape plazas, as well as relate
to pedestrians.
The articulated building entrances, together with
the landscape plazas, should be designed to relate
to and connect with the area-wide network of open
space, thus, unifying and fostering a sense of
community.
The degree of architectural treatment and
embellishments must relate to the scale and mass of
the building.
Accent treatment, such as changes in exterior
materials and texture, is required.
The creative use of building materials is
required. . A minimum of two (2) primary building
materials shall be used. The recommended primary
and secondary building materials are as follows:
o Primary building materials - concrete,
sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick,
granite, marble, and similar materials as
approved by the Design Review Committee.
o Secondary building materials glass, tile,
polished brass or copper, brick, concrete,
painted metal elements, painted accent stripe,
and other materials as approved by the Design
Review Committee.

A. Recitals.
1. Hogle Ireland has filed an application for the approval of Development Review
No. 99-11, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of April 1999, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites .pdor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission 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 Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on April 28, 1999. including wdtten and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located on Milliken Avenue between Foothill
Boulevard and Arrow Route with a street frontage of 2,600 feet on Milliken Avenue (each side)
and 2,500 feet on both Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route and is presently vacant, abandoned
vineyards and the southeasterly portion is improved with a golf ddving range facility; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with a
medical building, the property to the south consists of industrial buildings. the property to the east
is developed with the Masi Plaza and the Quakes Stadium. and the property to the west is
developed with industrial buildings; and
c. A Congestion Management Program/Traffic Impact Analysis has been prepared
for the project to determine whether the project will cause increases in vehicle trips or traffic
congestion in excess of projections for the adopted land use. The project will be required to install
frontage street improvements in their ultimate configuration. per City ordinance, and pay
Transportation Development fees for improvements within the City limits and Congestion
Management Program mitigation fees for improvements outside the City limits. This will reduce
traffic related impacts to a less than significant level; and

d. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identified the project as potential habitat for
the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly. Habitat assessments and biological surveys were prepared
to determine potential impacts to the habitat for future development projects within the master plan
area. A 15-acre portion of the site was surveyed (Thomas Olsen and Associates, Inc, March 10
and Apdl 1, 1999), which did not find adequate Sand Fly habitat since there is a lack of actual
Delhi sedes soils present, the site has been disturbed through rough grading practices, and there
are no extensive areas of exposed sand. No other unique, rare, or endangered animal species
are known to be located on the site; and
e. The project includes a private driveway connection between Foothill Boulevard
and the proposed east-west cul-de-sac street intersecting Milliken Avenue, which will provide a
secondary means of access for fire safety equipment; and
f. Storm drain improvements necessary to accommodate the project are not in
excess of that provided by the master plan of storm drainage; and
g. The project, with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with all
minimum development standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga; and
h. The project provides for a coordinated development scheme for a large area of
land thereby avoiding potential land use and access conflicts of piecemeal development; and
i. The development of the retail/commercial component is consistent with the
Industrial Park designation of the Industr a Area Specific Plan, in that it will function as a transition
between more intense industrial development to the south and office and retail development to
the north.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
and
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan;
b. That the proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the distdct in which the site is located; and
c. That the proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code; and
d. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment
for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration based upon the findings as follows:

a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and. further. this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. That, based upon the changes and alterations which have been incorporated into
the proposed project, no significant adverse environmental effects will occur.
c. That pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a
whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence
that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the
habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon substantial evidence contained in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits. and the information provided to the
Planning Commission during the public headng, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the
presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations.

USE DETERMI NATION 99-01 - CHEVRON -A request to determine that a carwash
is similar to other Auto Service Station uses and is a conditionally permitted use
within the Community Commercial District (Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND: Chevron is intending to submit an application for the development of one of the
freestanding pads within the Lucky's shopping center proposed at the northwest corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. The proposed service station project would include vehicle
fueling, convenience market, and carwash (see Exhibit "A").
FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN: The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) currently
permits auto service station uses in the Community Commercial. Office, Commercial/Office, and
Regional Related Commercial districts in all subareas subject to approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. Car washing facilities, either automatic or coin operated, are conditionally permitted in the
Community Commercial, Regional Related Commercial, and Office districts of Subareas 3 and 4.
When the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan was established. the placement of car washing facilities
was specifically excluded from Subareas 1 and 2. That exclusion was directed at carwash facilities
where the car washing operation was the predominant use of the facility and not ancillary to the
primary use of the project site.
The distinction that requires further clarification is when a car washing facility is clearly incidental
and ancillary to the primary land use of the project site. As an example, there are two recently
completed auto service stations along Foothill Boulevard that contain car washing facilities as an
ancillary use. These facilities include the Chevron service station located in the Foothill
Marketplace. on the south side of Foothill Boulevard. between the 1-15 Freeway and Etiwanda
Avenue, and the Mobil service station located in the Masi Plaza, at the southwest corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Masi Drive. In both instances, the carwash and convenience market for the service
station are contained in one structure where the car washing facilities occupy 28 and 33 percent of
the floor area, respectively. Chevron is proposing a freestanding carwash facility. utilizing
approximately 30 percent of the floor area of the primary structure (see Exhibit "B").

Staff feels that the proposed use would operate in a manner consistent with an auto service station.
The establishment of auto service stations that contain car washing facilities ancillary to the service
station would be consistent with those uses often found at service stations. Those facilities
choosing to include ancillary car washing operations shall limit the car washing operation to a
maximum of 30 percent of the project floor area. The car washing facility could be either an
attached or detached facility. Based upon the description of uses presented herein, staff feels it is
appropriate to classify a car washing facility as an ancillary use to an auto service station and
permitted, where applicable, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Use Determination
99-01 to allow for carwash facilities that are ancillary to the auto service station land use, as
permitted in the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit,
in those districts which permit auto service stations.

RE: Proposed Chevron Service Station # 20-8371, Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Dear Mr. Coleman,
Based on our meeting at the City of Rancho Cucamonga on 2/2,1/99, I am writing this
letter to formally request a Use Determination be mode by the Planning
Commission.
The above referenced proposed project is to be located within the Lucky Shopping
Center currently being permitted at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Vineyard Avenue. Chevron's service station project is to include a convenience
market, vehicle fueling, and a self-serve canrash.
This site is within the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Subarea q\vo. The Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan Subarea Two development guidelines specifically prohibit
conyashes. However, we are submitting this Use Determination considering that
this project is for o service station and the conyash is simply an oncilliary use.
I thank you in advance for your prompt attention with regards to this matter.
Please contact me should you have any comments or questions or if I may provide
additional information related to this matter.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CI'FY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING USE
DETERMINATION 99-01, DETERMINING THAT AN ANCILLARY
CARWASH LAND USE IS SIMILAR TO AN AUTO SERVICE STATION
USE AND IS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE
FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF.
A, Recitals.
1. Chevron has filed an application for the approval of Use Determination 99-01, as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Use
Determination is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of April 1999, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites pdor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is' hereby found, determined. and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission 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 Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on April 28, 1999. including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application contemplates classifying auto service stations that contain
ancillary car washing facilities as similar to an auto service station, which is a conditionally
permitted use within the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and
b. The ancillary car washing facility would operate in a manner similar to an auto
service station and would provide a service consistent with those often found at auto service
stations. The applicant proposes to provide a convenience market, vehicle fueling, and car
washing facility; and
c. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan conditionally permits auto service stations
in the Community Commercial, Office, Commercial/Office, and Regional Related Commercial
districts.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The use in question has similar operational characteristics and intensity to an auto
service station which is a conditionally permitted use in the Community Commercial. Office, and
Regional Related Commercial Districts of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
UD 99-01- CHEVRON
Apd128,1999

b. The use in question meets the purpose and intent of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan. The Goals of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan include "to create a dynamic
concourse that is attractive and of high quality with a unifying community design image, reflective
of community bedrage and identity, providing an economically via ble setting for a balanced mixture
of commercial and residential uses with safe, efficient, circulation and access" (Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan Page 11-4.1 ). Additionally, "to develop a specific plan which is sensitive to community
land use and fiscal needs" (Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Page 11-4.2). The use is adaptable
to existing commercial developments along the corridor, without compromise of a design image,
and provides a necessary service to further the needs of the community; and
c. The use in question meets and conforms to the applicable goals and objectives
of the General Plan by providing for commercial activities along the heavily auto-dependent
Foothill Boulevard corridor. The use furthers the General Plan land use objectives for commercial
activities by "providing commercial facilities to meet the retail and service needs of the
community."
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby determines the establishment of auto service stations that contain car
washing facilities ancillary to the service station would be consistent with those uses often found
at service stations. Those service stations providing ancillary car washing facilities shall limit the
car washing operation to a maximum of 30 percent of the project floor area, either detached or
attached to the pdmary facility.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 28TH DAY OF APRIL 1999.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AMENDMENT POLICY
DISCUSSION: At the meeting on April 14, 1999, the Planning Commission discussed various
policies (Exhibit *'B") to limit General Plan land use amendments during the process of/he General
Plan Update program. The discussion focused on the three staff recommended scenarios as
follows:
Establish a site-specific moratorium on General Plan Amendments (GPAs) during the entire
update process as established by State law.
Establish a city-wide moratorium on all GPAs until a draft General Plan Update is endorsed
by the City. Following that, allow those GPAs which are consistent with the Draft General Plan
to proceed through the amendment process. GPA requests that are not consistent would be
denied without prejudice to reapply after the General Plan is formally adopted. The consultant
expects to have a draft General Plan ready for City consideration by mid-September 1999.
In addition to Nos. 1 and 2, a deadline for land use amendments requested for consideration
within/he General Plan Update process should be established. Such a policy may allow for
some land use questions to be included and analyzed in the draft General Plan alternatives.
Staff recommended a deadline of May 12, 1999, for such proposals and requiring the payment
of the established GPA fee plus a consultant time and material fee to cover added General
Plan Update costs due to expanded analysis by the consultant. The resultant analysis would
be used in formulating alternative land use plans.
The Planning Commissioners' discussion focused on use issues as they would be applied to the
General Plan Update. Rather than any staff-recommended site specific moratorium, the
Commission felt that limiting the amount of commercial land use changes (plus or minus acreage)
was one of the key concerns during the update process. After discussions between Planning staff
and the City Attorneys office, the City Attorney advised against limiting land use amendments to
only specific land use categories.
In light of further discussions with the City Attorney, staff again suggests that the Planning
Commission consider area-wide moratoriums based on land use issues in specific areas of the City,
Since any land use change has the potential to affect neighboring areas regardless of their land use
designation, the City may wish to delay formal consideration of any land use changes in areas
where commercial development requests are anticipated.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
GPA UPDATE/POLICIES

There are three designated areas where significant land use redesignation for commercial activities
has been discussed:
A=
The area around the mall site bet~Neen Base Line Road and Foothill Boulevard east of
the I-15 Freeway and west of Rochester Avenue because of the enhancement of the I-15
Freeway on/off ramps and large amounts of vacant land.
Generally, area on either side of the I-15 Freeway from Summit Avenue to Arrow Route,
and the area on either side of the Foothill Freeway Corridor from Haven Avenue to the
1-15 Freeway - Staff believes that land adjacent to these very significant transpodation
corridors are potentially critical commercial windows to our community and have been subject
to land use change discussions in the past, Staff has defined this area as:
The area 600 feet west of the Haven/Highland Avenues intersection, east to the 1-15
Freeway, north of the freeway corridor in line with (and east/west extension oo Lemon
Avenue, south of lhe freeway corddot in line with Highland Avenue. and
The area 2,000 feet west of the I-15 Freeway between the northern City limit and Arrow
Route and between Miller Avenue and Foothill Boulevard west of Etiwanda Avenue.
The area on the south side of Foothill Boulevard to Arrow Route between the Deer
Creek Channel and the 1-15 Freeway - This area, like the two freeway corridors, has been
discussed in the recent past and continues to be subject to requests for major land use
changes of commercial character,
Again, because any land use change has the potential to significantly affect neighboring properties.
staff recommends that any moratoriums apply to all land use change requests within the
recommended moratorium areas.
Finally, staff also suggests that a 10-acre maximum be established on all GPAs not covered by the
selected area moratoriums. Hopefully this approach will limit the need roamend the General Plan
Update/EIR contract to readjust the costly consultant data qatherinq and analysis.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider endorsing the
following changes to the current GPA policies:
A designated area moratorium on all General Plan land use amendments, in conjunction with
a 10-acre maximum site limitation moratorium in all other areas, as authorized by the State
Government Code.
The payment of the current GPA fee plus a consultant time and material fee to cover added
General Plan Update costs due to expanded analysis by the consultant.
3. This policy is to be applied to all GPA applications not considered complete by May 12, 1999.
Any General Plan land use amendment application will be evaluated with the draft General
Plan Update (after it receives General Plan Update Task Force endorsement), for compliance
with the draft plan's recommended land use policies.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AMENDMENT POLICY
DISCUSSION: During the General Plan update process, consultants will be gathering information
about the community and analyzing potential alternatives and their anticipated impacts. This work,
at some point, must be able to develop a preferred alternative for the General Plan Update.
Developer initiated General Plan Amendments (GPA) can significantly impact the review and
approval process. If these amendments are considered during the General Plan Update they would
complicate and fragment the consultant's work products.
Attached is a listing of those amendments which are in process and those that staff anticipates may
be filed in the near future (Exhibit "A").
Staff recommends that the City consider establishing a policy regarding General Plan Land Use
Amendment requests during lhe update process from the following options:
Continue to allow GPA applications to proceed as normally scheduled during the City's
established GPA cycles. Presently the City has established regularly scheduled cycles for
GPA review and action as follows:
The 2nd meeting of the Planning Commission in the month of January. The
deadline for submittal shall be no later than 5:00 p.m., November 15, of the
preceding year.
The 2nd meeting of the Planning Commission in the month of May. The
deadline for submittal shall be no later than 5:00 p.m., March 15, of the same
year.
The 2nd meeting of the Planning Commission in the month of September.
The deadline for submittal shall be not later than 5:00 p.m., July 15, of the
preceding year,
One floating date which may be scheduled as necessary by the City Council
or Planning Commission.

Establish a city-wide moratorium on all GPAs during the entire update process as established
by State law.
Establish a site specific moratorium on GPAs during the entire update process as established
by State law.
4. Establish a site specific and acreage limitation (10 acres) moratorium on GPAs during the
entire update process as established by State law.
Establish a city-wide moratorium on all GPAs until an interim General Plan update is endorsed
by the City and then allow those GPAs which are consistent with the Draft General Plan to
proceed through the amendment process. GPA requests that are not consistent would be
denied without prejudice to reapply after the General Plan is formally adopted. The consultant
expects to have a draft General Plan ready for City consideration by mid September 1999.
In addition to Nos. 2 through 5, a deadline for land use amendments requested for
consideration within the General Plan update process should be established. Such a policy
may allow for some land use questions to be included and analyzed in the draft General Plan
alternatives. Staff recommends a deadline of May 12, 1999, for such proposals and requiring
the payment of the established GPA fee plus a consultant time and material fee to cover
added General Plan update d~sts due to expanded analysis by the consultant. The resultant
analysis would be used in formulating alternative land use plan(s).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission select from Options No. 2
through 6. Staff prefers Option No. 3, and secondly Option No. 6. Option No. 1 could easily
complicate the process of updating the General Plan.

PENDING AND PROPOSED GPA APPLICATIONS
(Refer to attached map for locations)
Presently there are three GPA's in progress as follows:
1. GPA 99-01 (Medium to Low-Medium) at the northeast corner of Highland and Lemon
Avenues has been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and is
scheduled for City Council consideration on April 21, 1999.
2. GPA 99-02 (Low to Low-Medium) for 5.1 acres at the southeast corner of 19th Street and
Hermosa Avenue is to be considered by the Planning Commission on May 12. 1999.
3. GPA 98-02 (Medium, Medium-High and Regionally Related Commercial 1o Low-Medium)
for 192 acres north of the Victoria Mall site is tentatively scheduled to be forwarded to the
Planning Commission in mid-June 1999.
These three projects will easily fit into the consultant's draft General Plan and their inclusion should
not create any significant difficulties.
Staff has had discussion with development representatives on potential GPA applications at the
following locations:
4. Office to Commercial at the nodhwest intersection of Haven Avenue and the Route 30
freeway. ,
5. Low-Medium to Commercial at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and the Route 30
freeway.
6. Medium to Low-Medium east of the future Day Creek Boulevard on the north side of B~.s.e
Line Road.
7. Medium to Low-Medium at the southwest intersection of East Avenue and the I-15 Freeway
and Low-Medium to Medium between Etiwanda and East Avenues, north of the commercial
land on the north side of Foothill Boulevard.
8 Low-Medium to Commercial or Office for land adjacent to the 1-15 Freeway, nodh of the
commercial land on the north side of Foothill Boulevard.
9. Industrial Park to Low-Medium for about 18 acres south of the intersection of 6th Street and
Archibald Avenue adjacent to the existing Griffin residential development.
10. Industrial Park to Residential for land around the golf course at the northwest corner of
4th Street and Milliken Avenue.
These projects may cause significant difficulties depending on when they are formally submitted.
The next Planning Commission GPA cycle is for September 22, 1999 (filing deadline is July 15,
1999), which is after the anticipated completion of the draft General Plan.
