We plan 1o transfer the existing business v.'hich consists of a full retail wine and liquor license as well a full service gourmct dell. We arc currently known for our fine selcclion of fine allocated wines and spirits and we plan to expand on that as '...'ell applying for a wine tasting license which will cm'~ble our customers to taste a wine before connnitting to a large purchase. We also plan to have a small seating area which we will use both for our dell as well as our wine tastings. The idea is to expand our sen'ices to our earrent customers which include many of the local businesses as · .~:ll as to the new traffic ~eneratexl by the new and more visible proposed location. The new location should also create new jobs as well as higher paying jobs for the local community. It is still very much in our business plan to run a first class operalion has we have bccn doing for the last thirteen years. and if anything to improve the quality of the store to an ~'cn more gourmct establishment. Our hours of oporalion will probably be 7AM- I IPM Monday to Saturday and 9AM-9PM on Sunday.

Project File No.: Conditional Use Permit 99-15 Public Review Period Closes: May 26, 1999 Project Name: Project Applicant: Antonio Arcangeli, Haven Wine and Liquor Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Aspen and Spruce Streets - APN: 208-352-82. Project Description: A request to build a 4,521 square foot retail store with deli and liquor sales on 0.68 acres of land in the Industrial Park Distdct (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Related File: Parcel Map 15282, Development Review 99-04. FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: [] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but: (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.

Backqround: The project was reviewed along with the Catellus Master Plan at a Planning Commission Workshop on January 13, 1999. Primary concerns regarding the Lowe's project included: 1. Prefer locating the garden center on the east side of the building away from street frontages. If located on the west side, it must be architecturally incorporated with the building and screened from view. 2. The main vehicular entry should have a strong focal element destination. (Minor tower element provided). 3. The customer loading area must be designed to facilitate quick and convenient exiting similar to that of the Home Depot project. (Staff believes goal has been met). B. General: The project is pad of the Catel/us Master Plan which was approved by the Planning Comm ssion on April 28, 1999. The intersection of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is designated as an Activity Center per the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement. The Activity Center design is consistent with that established by the Master Plan. The garden center is proposed on the west end of the building, visually prominent from Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. There is also truck loading proposed at the southwest corner of the building visible from Milliken Avenue and the proposed cul-de-sac street intersecting Milliken Avenue. The loading dock is proposed to have a screening wing wall along the south side and a trellis cover. An 8- to 9-foot high berm and 8-foot high monument sign are also proposed southwest of the loading area for screening. A minor tower element is proposed just east of the main building entry to align with the main vehicular entry off of Foothill Boulevard. The garden center is proposed to be contained within stucco walls and wrought iron fencing. Stacking of merchandise is anticipated directly behind the garden center walls. A covered customer pick up area is proposed at the northwest corner of the building. The hours of operation are proposed to be 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday with 200 employees. Large container truck deliveries are expected between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. C.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-04 - Lowe's May 26, 1999 Page 3 E. 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. The U.S. Fish and W~ldlife Service identified the project area as a potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF). A habitat assessment and soils study were recently conducted by a biologist permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct surveys for DSF. Results of the habitat assessment (Thomas Qlsen and Associates, Inc. March 10, 1999. and amended April 1, 1999) and soils survey (Southern California Geological. January 11, 1999) indicate that 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. Major issues related to transportation impacts were addressed with the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Catellus Master Plan and Tentative Parcel Map. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Negative Declaration is in order. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 99-04 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration Respectfully submitted, Brad Buller City Planner BB:BLC:mlg Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Applicant's Letter Exhibit "B" - Master Plan/Location Map Exhibit "C" - Site Plan Exhibit "D" - Grading Plan Exhibit "E" - Landscape Plan Exhibit "F" - Elevations Exhibit "G" - Sight Lines Exhibit "H" - Design Review Action Agendas dated May 4 and 18, 1999 Exhibit "1" - Initial Study Part II Resolution of Approval with Conditions PROJECT DESCRIPTION LOWE'S HO~IE 15'IPROVE~!ENT WAREHOUSE This project proposal is for the development of a commercial home improvement warehouse comprising one building on approximately 14.69 acres. The site is located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard and the cast side of Milliken Avenue. The proposed site is located in Subarea 7 of the Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan. The site is also within the proposed Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan, and has been designed to comply with the Master Plan landscaping, architecture and site design guidelines. The Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse buiiding contains 179,193 square feet. Access to the site is provided by the main entrance on Foothill Boulevard, a secondary entrance on Milliken Avenue and two entrances on a proposed local street (Street "A"). The building architecture has been designed to provide visual interest along public areas, and is in accordance with the Corporate Park Master Plan and the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Quality landscaping with color enhanced, stamped, concrete paving will lead to the arrchitectural focal point on the building's norIll elevation facing Foothill Boulevard. The building design elements include arched window and entry treatments, covered promenades and elevation changes. Materials used to add richness and texture include, clay roof tile, accent blocks, accent tile, plaster cornice molding, and painted wood or metal trellises at selected locations along the exterior of the building. In order to enhance the elevation of the building along Milliken Avenue a quatrefoil plaster molding focal elements has been provided which reflect the architectural concepts provided along Millikcn Avenue. Foothill Boulevard is the City's primary commercial corridor and serves as a gateway to the City. TIle intersection at Milliken Avenue and Foothill Botdcvard has bccn designated as an activity center to promote couccntrated activity and cultivate unique design themes. The activity center is adjacent to the Lowc's Home Improvement Warehouse site and will be developed in Phase I along v,'ith the Lowc's center. The two restaurant pads along Foothill Boulevard will be integrated with various possible future uses to the east through the use of landscape and bardscape materials, and the continuation of the pedestrian and vehicular circulatiou patterns at the Lowo's center. The proposed building meets and, in many cases, exceed the development standards of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The attached tablc compares the specific plan standards to the project proposal.

The intersection of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is designated as an Activity Center per the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement. The Activity Center design is consistent with that established by the Master Plan. The garden center is proposed on the west end of the building, visually prominent from Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. There is also truck loading proposed at the southwest corner of the building visible from Milliken Avenue and the proposed cuPde-sac street intersecting Milliken Avenue. The loading dock is proposed to have a screening wing wall along the south side and a trellis cover. An 8-9-foot high berm and 8ofoot high monument sign are also proposed southwest of the loading area for screening. A minor lower element is proposed just east of the main building entry to align with the main vehicular entry off of Foothill Boulevard. The garden center is proposed to be contained within stucco walls and wrought iron fencing. Slacking of merchandise is an/icipaled directly behind the garden center walls. No landscaping is proposed along lhe entire front of lhe building. A covered customer pick up area is proposed at/he northwest corner of lhe building. Planninq Commission Workshop' The project was reviewed along with the Catellus Master Plan al a Planning Commission Workshop on January 13, 1999. Primary concerns regarding the Lowe's projecl included: 1, Prefer locating lhe garden center on lhe east side of the building away from street frontages. ff located on west side, it must be architecturally incorporated with the building and screened from view. (Plan has not been revised). 2. The main vehicular eOtry should have a strong focal element destination. (Minor tower element provided). 3. The customer loading area must be designed to facility quick and convenient exiting similar to that of the Home Depot project. (Staff believes goal has been met). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Revise entry tower element to be more in proportion to the overall building mass. Suggest bringing it back over/he building, at least doubling the depth oi' the tower roof area. The south elevation of the tower shall be architecturally treated to respect views from lhe south. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-04 - LOWE'S May4, 1999 Page 2 2. Provide a high screen wall (no higher than 8 feet exposed on street side) to completely screen truck loading area from Milliken Avenue and east-west cul-de-sac street. Suggest depressing the truck loading area substantially relative to the street to enhance screening. The project is designed with the truck loading area 4 to 5 feet above the level of Milliken Avenue. Both sides of the screen wall shall have decorative treatment consistent with the building architecture, and with vine planting at the base trained to climb the wall. 3. Provide trees and landscaping, wherever possible, along north elevation to soften, and help visually break-up, this 625 foot long building. See architects plan i'or suggested tree locations on North Elevation Sheet 3. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Avoid tacked on colonnade-like wall treatment on east elevation and replace with actual colonnade similar to the north elevation. 2. Provide trees to "fill in the holes" in parking lots. 3. Provide landscaping, including dense hedgerow planting. along north, west. and south walls of garden center. Hedgerow planting shall be of a material that will eventually cover entire wrought iron fenced openings in wails. 4. The Committee should discuss whether scored split faced block panels are appropriate wall treatment. These panel areas could be replaced with wall indents containing murals or other more sophisticated wall mounted features. 5. Provide decorative paving across the front of the building. Suggest use of varying pavement patterns, textures. colors, to differentiate loading area from pathways and driving surfaces. 6. It is strongly suggested that the wrought iron gates for the garden center be limited to one on the north, west, and south elevations. Where gates are proposed, provide extensive trellis and landscaping to screen openings. 7. Provide intensive use of vines and/or other planrings along all faces of the building and screen walls. 8. Revise the corner elements on the garden center wall to read as building features rather than "Hollywood Set" or false front appearance. Suggest using roofed tower elements. 9. Provide a tile roof element at the customer pickup area canopy. 10. Provide a more durable and architecturally enhanced wainscoting around the building similar to that of other shopping centers in the City. At a minimum, this should include a curb at the base of the building wall, tile wainscoting, and a bullnose or other provide trim element along the top of the tile. 11. Enhanced driveway paving shall occur at all entrances. The main vehicle entrance off Foothill Boulevard shall have decorative paving to the first east-west driveway intersection. Eliminate triangular median from this driveway entrance. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-04 -LOWE'S May 4, 1999 Page 3 12. At least one row of parking for each restaurant pad should not be counted towards required parking compliance as the areas will likely be used for future restaurant loading. 13. The parking area is shown to have a 4 percent grade on the Grading Plan. This is unusually steep for shopping center parking lots and could lead to problems with runaway carts. Suggest revising grade to approximately 2 percent. 14. Provide intensified landscaping, artwork, and lighting along main vehicle entrance driveway and enhanced architectural treatment on the tower element at the terminus of the driveway. 15. Provide a deeper driveway depth for the west driveway off Milliken Avenue to provide greater stacking distance and avoid on-site vehicle conflicts. 16. Revise truck circulation so that trucks enter and exit only off of the east-west cul-de-sac along the south of the site. No truck traffic allowed for west driveway off of Milliken Avenue. There appears ample room at southwest corner of site for truck maneuvering. 17. Eliminate car parking spaces from southwest corner/loading area. They conflict with loading activity and cannot be counted towards required parking. 18. Provide a public sidewalkJpedestrian connection from the northeast corner of the Lowe's site east to Masi Plaza. 19. Provide a sidewalk connection to Milliken Avenue from the front of Lowe's. 20. Provide wider (8 feet minimum) landscape islands at ends of drive aisles similar to that of other shopping centers in the City. 21. Incorporate cart storage areas with landscape islands in parking area. 22. The cart corral at the front of Lowe's shall be raised high enough to completely screen/contain the larger carts typically used at home improvement stores. The corral wall shall have treatment to match or be complimentary to the building wainscoting. 23. The letters in the "Lowe's" wall sign are 6-8 feet high compared to Home Depot wall sign letters which are 5 feet high. Revise wall sign letters to be a maximum of 5 feet high, 24. Provide cart storage for westerly and easterly parking lots. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roof and ground mounted equipment shall be fully screened from surrounding property and public rights-of-way. This may require increased parapet height given the natural climb in local terrain to the north. 2. Materials stacked within the garden center shall not exceed the height of the garden center walls nor be visible from surrounding streets or properties. 3. No outdoor storage of materials/merchandise is permitted, including temporary storage in staging area on south side of building. The garden center is not considered outdoor storage so long as the above noted enhancements are provided. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-04- LOWE'S May 4,1999 Page 4 4. Provide double door foyer design for main entry on north elevation to mitigate seasonal high winds. 5. Provide a minimum of five parking spaces per 1000 square feet of gross leasable floor area. Extra parking can be provided by utilizing land to the east. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised per the above items and brought back for further Committee review. Attachments Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pare Stewart, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the project and requested that it be revised in light of staff's comments and the following additional comments and brought back for furlher review. The Committee agreed to Committee action: 1. Revise tower entry element to be at least 10 feet deeper (measured north-south) than is currently shown (overall depth = 41 feet). 2. The Committee does not consider it necessary to provide an 8-foot high screen wall along the southwest corner of the site. The wing wall design as proposed will adequately screen truck loading activity from view of the street. 3. The colonnade along the east elevation shall be brought out at least 30 inches from the wall surface and be colored to match the customer pick up area colonnade. 4. Restudy screening of materials stacked within garden center. Wrought iron fencing with a mesh behind will not adequately screen materials, Suggest use of hedge/vine planrings to cover wrought ron fencing limiting number of gates to the minimum necessary use of heavy member trellises projecting out beyond the wall surfaces, use of vines, etc. 5. Revise corner elements of garden center wall to "read" like the customer pickup area colonnade treatment. 6. Provide tile wainscoting around entire building. Committee may approve padial application of wainscoting and vine pockets on south elevation if creatively and sensitively applied. 7. Car spaces at southwest corner of site, while not desirable given proximity to loading area, may be counted as required parking since applicant claims these will be designated employee spaces. 8. The provided 8-foot wide landscape planters at ends of parking lanes may be acceptable if cad storage areas are adequately buffered with landscaping. 9. Provide planter and decorative pavement treatment along the length of the north side of the building. 24' O C~ PNNTF..D M'TL. TRELLIS~- . W/VINE POCKET " "%' (' :""1 CONC.

Chades, Lamb, Ihe project landscape architect, reviewed Ihe landscape and street scope design intent to unify the masler planned development. Dennis Hill, proloci archltecl, reviewed the inlegralion and mix of architoclural design features throughout the project. Don V~nn, Lowo's representative, briefly described Iho Lowo's slylo of business, operallon. and size requlremenis. Brent Lo Count, Assoclalo Planner, indicalod Ihal slaff's commcnls would be presenled in accordance with the ouUino provided by the applicant. He observed Ihat Iocaling Iho district bounder), between Subareas 7 end 8 along Iho proposed public sireel is conslstont wilh Iho flexibility built into the Industrial Area Specific Plan and makes good planning sense. Given that land uses within Iho norlhoosl corner of Iho master plan area ore Iho least doffnod, he asked Iho Commission preference on how development in Ibis area relate Io Mas/Plaza, Foolhill Boulevard, and the Lowo's buildings. He observed that loading areas for Iho Lowo's projoel and rail spur served industrial buildings should be carefully Irealed given Iho proximity to M~lhken Avenue. He questioned how Ihe largo industrial building at the southeast corner of lhe ma.~Ier plan relales to the Quakes Stadium. ,',,,tr. Le Count indicated Ihat star," is suppo~ive of having the buildings "' ' designed to respect their usage rather than a:templing to convey an industrial ltalr. He suggested ...~. hard scope. street scope. and landscape elements could unify Ihe planning area. He Ihought \. industrial buildings fronting ~,,tilliken Avenue should have significantly upgraded architecture. He observed that the intersection of i',,,tilliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is a deslgna[ed Aclivity Center per Ihe Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) and Ihe master plan design for the inlersection 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 Iho south will establish a theme for the north. He remarked Ihal induslrial buildings Io lho soulh will creole a draw for Fargo container truck traffic Ihrough the northeast comer area. He recommend significant ros[udy of Lowo's architecture, because he felt il appears to be a hybridization of industrial and retail architecluro resulling in somelhing that fits inlo no;lher colegory. He suggested relocaling the garden center Io Ihe east side el building. or at a m[nlmum. designing it Io be complelely architecturally integraled wilh Iho building. He observed thai slgnaturo architociuro/or pad res~auranl buildings is acceptable and consislenl with Mimi's Col6 and Applebee's arch lecture; however. if a lasl food drive-lhru user is anlicipaled. thai should be shown now wilh the masler plan. He remarked thai Ihe main ddve aisle eniry [o Ihe Lowo's center has no lotreal dellned local poinl destination. Commissioner Mannerino fell Ihat the Lowo's building should nol be designed wiIh an industrial /lair. thai il should be designed to be whal it is. He thoughl Ihe evenlual land uses {or Iho notlheasl corner area should not be Iolally lefl Io markel demand bul should be nailed down as much as possible now. Ha favored having Ihe rail spur served building within the induslrial portion even if it means having truck loading Ironling Milliken Avenue. He also preferred commercial developmonl on Foolhill Boulevard insload of industrial. Commissioner Maclos echoed CommisslonerMannedno's commenl aboul commercial uses being appropdalo along Foothill Boulevard. He expressed concerns aboul circulation and thai Iho main onlranco to Lowo's cenler should have a lotreal de~'finallon/enlry slalement. He said the design should avoid long slrotchos oi' un~nlerruptod budding walls lot indu.~iHal buildings Ironling Milllkon Avenue. He expressed concern wilh how Ihe ~rojeci relates to Quakes Slad~um. g~ven Ihal a largo induslrial building ~s shown deslgnaled with Injck loading along the east side. Commissioner Siewart indicaled Ihal she does not wish to see s~gni/icanl areas el parking Ironllng onlo Foolhill Boulevard. She concurred regarding enlry polnls Io Ihe Lowo's center and said Ihe main onlry should be enhanced. She preferred Iho garden conlet be relocaled so it would be loss prominent relallve to sireel fronlages. She did nol layer the use of perforated metal lealures as a building matedal lot Ihe Lowo's building or garden conlet. She prelorred a seller design lot the Acfivily Conier at Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue as opposed to a more urban. Iormal troalmonl. She thoughl employee oallng areas. benches. bus shellors. and other podoslrian- Iriendly amentiles should be used ex[enslvely to facilltato usage el the project at a podeslrian level. Commissioner Tolsloy supported Iocallng the subarea dislricl boundary along the proposed public sireel. He commented Ihat teloil uses along Foolhill Boulevard are appropriate, as are signature pad buildings. He suggested Ihat the Lowo's project be carefully designed to lociblare cuslomor exiling lot customers purchasing large and bulky iloms such as lumber. similar to the way Home Depot at Rochester Avenue and Foolhill Boulevard is designed. He preferred Ihat roll served buildings be located in Iho induslrial portion wiIh truck load;nO fronl~ng M,II,kon Avenue ir loading areas are elfeclively screened. Fto thought parking along Foolhill Boulevard is acceptable to long as berm~ng and landscaping provide an adequalo buffer. He layered retail uses for gs in the norlheast Corner area if the market will bear El. He [ett the largo building in southeast comer area can be bul'fered from the Quakes S[adlum, He Ihought it may be best to relocate the garden cemer to be less vlsually prominenl relative lo s~ree~ Iron ages' o~herw/se. significant screening and design features will be necessary. Chairman MeN/el asked aboul anticipaled uses for the nor, beast corner area. Mr. McPhee responded frankly that Ihey are jus hal sure that retail may not be feasible given retail drain caused by the Mills project. He said that he has lined up inlereslod industrial users/or the buildings to the south but thai he has hal yel seen a relail or office inlerosl in the noelboast comer area buildings. He said Ihe inlent is Io simply demonsIrate potential building masslng in the northeast area o~' the plan. Commissioner Tolstoy intodotted Ihat he would hal wish [o see developmenl proposals come in for review in a piecemeal fashion. He also siressod the need for including public at1 wherever possible. Chairman McNiel indicated Ihal the Lowo's building should hal be designed wilh an industrial flair. that it's design should be conslslenl w/Ih its relail use. He slated retail development along Foothill Boulevard should be designed Io be user frienc~ly. warm. and comfortable and restaurants are encouraged. He concurred lhal the subarea boundary should be laceled along the proposed sireel. He commented Ihat landscaping along the Milllken Avenue Corridor should be as lush as possible. He felt lhe Foothill Boulevard/Milliken Avenue intersection street scapa design should hal have to follow Ihe Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Aclivity Center concept and felt the pedestrian aspeel of Ihe Acl/viIy Center isn't appropriale. He cautioned Ihe applicant to be sonsilivo to Iho inledaco between Iho proposed area and Masl Plaza and Quakes Stadium Io the easE. Chain'nan MeNtel felt the masler plan is a great idea and he welcomed Lowo's Io Iho City. Mr. Bullet asked for clari~calion on how Ihe Commission felt about having a north-south connection through Ihe norlheast Comer area. per Engineering recommendations,. given polenlial for Iruck Iraffic [/'~rough the area. Dan James. Senior Civil Engineer. indicaled Ihal a connection Could occur be~,een Iho proposed cul-do-sac and Arrow Route instead of Foothill Boulevard. He said thai/he cul-do-sac exceeds 600 feel in lenglh and therefore does hal meet Fire Safety access requ;remenls. Chairman MeNtel indicated that he would not wish Io see large container Iruck Ira/tic through Ihe no~lheasl comer area or the plan. The other Commissioners agreed. Mr. BuIler asked the Commission whether they would be in favor of allowing this masler plan to proceed forward and only show access palhis for the norlheasl corner of Iho project: Ihus deferring Platthing Commission review el' building localion. slzo shape. uses and archilocturo to a later date. ' ' ' Commissioner Tolstoy indicated he would hal objecl to such an approach so long as an archiIectural pallel for the area is defined. Mr. Bullet summarized the meeling: highlighting previous is sues raised by Mr. Lo Count and noted thai there appeared to be consensus that slgnoluro archltec[uro is acceptable for the pad buildings wilh Iho Lowo's cenloC only one median island break will be allowed on Foothill Boulevard: having the dislricl boundary happen along the proposed public sireel is acceplablo: the industrial perilart of Iho master plan is to remain flexible in letins of specific building size. shape. and lace on: and finally, lhat an lnduslHal Area Specific Plan Ie~ amendmen| win be necessary to accommoda:e the Lowe's project.

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? ( ) ( ) (V') b) Short term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term. environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) ( ) (v') c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that are individually limited. but cumulatively considerable? ("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.) ( ) (Y) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ( ) (~') EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN: 229-011-32. Project Description: A request to build a 128,997 square foot Lowe's Home Improvement store including a 50,196 square foot garden center and two future restaurant pads on 17.17 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: [] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but: (1) Revisions in Ihe 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.

The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with a medical building, the property to the south consists of vacant land planned for industrial buildings, the property to the east is vacant with land furlher to the east developed with the Masi Plaza. and the property to the west is vacant with property further to the west developed with industrial buildings; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. CUP 99-04 - Lowe's May 26, 1999 Page 2 c. The project is pad of an approved Master Plan for which a Congestion Management Program/Traffic Impact Analysis has been prepared to determine whether increases in vehicle trips or traffic congestion will be 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. This will reduce traffic related impacts to a less than significant level; and d. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identified the project site as potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly. Habitat assessments and biological surveys were prepared to determine potential impacts to the habitat. The studies (Thomas Olsen and Associates, Inc, March 10, and April 1, 1999). did not find adequate Sand Fly 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 site; and e. Storm drain improvements necessary to accommodate the project are not in excess of that provided by the master plan of storm drainage; and f. The project, with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with all minimum development City standards; and g. The project is consistent with the Industrial Park designation of the Industrial 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. h. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan objective to provide commercial facilities to meet the retail and service needs of the community, which are conveniently accessible; and i. The proposed design incorporates many architectural and landscape design elements consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan objective to provide compatible building elevations. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. c. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. CUP 99-04 - Lowe's May 26, 1999 Page 3 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed 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 Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows: a. The Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 19:70, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; said 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 Negative Declaration with regard to the application. b. Based upon the changes and alterations which have been incorporated into the proposed project. no significant adverse environmental effects will occur. c. 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 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 Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-l-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.

CII'Y OF RANCFIO CUCAMONGA ' STAFF REPORT DATE: May 26, 1999 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Brent Le Count, AICP. Associate Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TIME EXTENSION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-25 - RODRIGUEZ - A request for a time extension of a previously approved Conditional Use Permit to construct a 2,900 square foot drive-thru facility and a 5,548 square foot restaurant on 3.7 acres of land in the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue o APN: 207-211-12 through 15, 38, and 40. BACKGROUND: Conditional Use Permit 95-25 was approved by the Planning Commission on May 14, 1997. The approval will expire on May 14, 1999, unless building permits are issued. The applicant is currently in plan check for the Burger King restaurant but building permits are not anticipated to be ready for issuance by May 14, 1999, because of outstanding corrections. The applicant has requested the subject time extension in a timely manner. ANALYSIS: As of December 1998, Conditional Use Permits are approved for five years with no provisions for extension. The subject Conditional Use Permit was approved prior to adoption of this provision. In this situation, the Commission has the authority to issue a time extension for up to three years for an overall lifetime approval of five years. Staff has analyzed the proposed time extension and compared the proposal with current development criteria outlined in the Development Code and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The development standards have not been changed. Based on this review, the project meets the development standards for the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The applicant has prepared Part I of the Initial Study. Staff completed Part II, the Initial Study, and found that conditions in the area have not changed appreciably since the Conditional Use Permit received approval in 1997. Staff feels that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment and recommends the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, consistent with the Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted for the original project approval.

( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a-c) The nodhwesterly poRion of the project site is located within the Ci~ adopted Special Study Zone for the Red Hill fault. A geologic repod was prepared for the project site (Rasmussen. Janua~ 29, 1996) and reviewed by the Ci~'s geologist (Reeder. December 5. 1996). The geologic repo~ concludes that no faults cross the site, and fuRher concludes that none of the following are expected: ground rupture, landsliding or other slope stability hazards, or liquefaction. The geologic report concludes that "severe seismic shaking of the site can be expected within the next 100 years from an eadhquake along the Cucamonga fault." The repod contains a number of recommended mitigation measures that will be included as recommended conditions of approval forthe project. A revised geologic report was prepared in response to comments from the Ci~'s geologist; however, was not available at the time the Initial Study Pad 2 was completed. A mitigation measure was included with original the Conditional Use Permit that requires review and acceptance of a final geologic repod by the Ci~'s geologist prior to issuance of any permits. Since that time a final geologic repo~ was prepared and reviewed by the Ci~"s geologist and findings incorporated into the project. 4. WATER.

( ) ( ) ( ) (X) i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? ( ) ( } ( ) (X) Comments: a-b) The proposed project will result in changes to the absorption rates. drainage patterns or the rate and amount of surface water runoff through increases in developed area. buildings. and paved areas. The project will result in a surface water runoff of Q,~=I 8.0 cubic feet per second for the majority of the site, which is proposed to drain southwesterly. The project design includes a drainage system that will dived and collect surface water runoff into a pipe that will connect into existing Cucamonga Creek Channel. A permit is required from San Bernardino County Flood Control District for all work within their properly or easement area. f) The project will pave over 3 acres of land, thereby reducing percolation into ground water. The project design includes a drainage system that will dived and collect surface water runoff into a pipe connected into the existing Cucamonga Creek Channel, which ultimately drains into the Prado Basin spreading grounds where it can recharge the ground water. ,~,',¢o,,,'.',,,9 ....., ~,~ 5.

The City's General Plan indicates future noise levels at build out of the community at greater than 70 and acknowledges that the outdoor environment will seem noisy. The General Plan does not require sound attenuation mitigation measures for exterior areas. The General Plan does require a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements and incorporation of needed noise insulation features in the project design; however, indicates that conventional construction with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning will normally suffice. An acoustical study should be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer to address interior noise levels of all buildings within the project prior to issuance of building permits. PUBLIC SERVICES.

EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. The following earlier analyses were utilized in completing this Initial Study and are available for review in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division offices, 10500 Civic Center Drive (check all that apply): (X) General Plan EIR (Certified April 6, 1981 ) (X)Master Environmental Assessment for the 1989 General Plan Update (SCH #88020115, certified January 4, 1989) (X) Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan EIR (SCH #87021615, certified September 16, 1987) MITIGATION MEASURES: 1. The recommendations of the final geologic report shall be incorporated into the project, and verified during plan check, prior to the issuance of any permits. These recommendations include, but are not limited to, the following: a. No human occupancy structures shall be placed within the approximate restricted use zone as shown on Plate One unless a subsurface engineering geology investigation finds this portion of the site to be free of active faulting. The recommended restricted use zone applies to proposed structures only. The restricted use zone on the site can be used for purposes other than the placement of human occupancy structures, such as parking areas. b. The southeast boundary of the recommended restricted use zone shall be surveyed. This restricted area zone shall be shown on all site development plans. including Grading Plans. c. Positive drainage of the site should be provided, and water shall not be allowed to pond behind or flow over any cut or fill slopes. Where water is collected in a common area and discharged, protection of the native soils shall be provided, as the native soils are moderately to highly susceptible to erosion by running water. i>-z3 InE[~al Sludy for C~P-q5'25 Tim~ Ex~e,',~..~_~ f.

Project File No.: Time Extension for Conditional Use Permit 95-25 Public Review Period Closes: May 26, 1999 Project Name: Project Applicant: U.S. Properties Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the southwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue - APN: 207-211-12 through 15, 38, and 40. Project Description: A request for a time extension for the proposed development of a shopping center totaling 74,478 square feet on 8.9 acres of land, with proposed Phase I consisting of a 2,900 square foot drive-thru restaurant and a 5,548 square foot restaurant on 3.7 acres of land, in the Community Commercial designation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: [] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but: (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. NOTICE The public is invited to comment on the proposed Negative Declaration during the review period. May 26, 1999 Date of Determination Adopted By -2s RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A TIME EXTENSION FOR A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A 2,900 SQUARE FOOT DRIVE-THRU FACILITY AND A 5,548 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT ON 3.7 ACRES OF LAND IN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION OF THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND VINEYARD AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF, APN: 207-211-12 THROUGH 15, 38, AND 40. A. Recitals. 1. Gil Rodriguez Jr. has filed an application for a time extension for the approval of Conditional Use Permit 95-25, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject time extension request is referred to as "the application." 2. On May 14, 1997, this Commission adopted its Resolution No. 97-27, thereby approving, subject to specific conditions and time limits, Conditional Use Permit 95-25. 3. On May 26, 1999, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public headng on the application and concluded said headng that date. 4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set fodh 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 public headrig on May 26, 1999, including wdtten and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The previously approved Conditional Use Permit is in substantial compliance with the City's current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies; and b. The extension of the Conditional Use Permit approval will not cause significant inconsistencies with the current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies; and c. The extension of the Conditional Use Permit approval is not likely to cause public health and safety problems; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. TE FOR CUP 95-25 - RODRIGUEZ May 26, 1999 Page 2 d. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance; and e. The project was granted an initial approval pedod of two years. Subsequently, the City Council adopted its Ordinance No. 596, which established an approval pedod of five years with no further time extensions allowed; hence, the project may be extended for up to three years. 3. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all wdtten 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. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project which are listed below as conditions of approval. c. 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 the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-l-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby grants a time extension for: Project Applicant Expiration CUP 95-25 Gil Rodriguez, Jr. May 14, 2002 5.

A habitat assessment was prepared (Bruyca Biological Consulting, March 30, 1999) by a biologist permitted by the IJ.S. Fish and Wildlife Sereice to conduct su~cys for DSF. In stnnnm~, the results of the habitat-based su~ey indicate that the site represents ve~, poor quality potential DSF habitat based on the lack of Delhi fine sands, its location within a large industrial complex, severe soil disturbances (disking and grading) and the presence or industrial buildings to the cast, noah and south immediately adjacent to the site. Additionally, the relative lack of adjacent open space, nectar and other vegetative resources funher indicate the propc~y is not suitable for occupation by the endangered Delhi Sands flower-loving fly. Based on the biological rcpo,, the proposed development of the site will not likely result in adverse effects to DSF. 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES.

General: The applicant is seeking an expansion of an existing cigar shop with bar to include an additional 550 square feet and serving of alcoholic beverages in an outdoor seating area. The Planning Commission previously approved Conditional Use Permit 97-37 for this establishment to allow entertainment and billiards. ITEM F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-06 - GOOD FELLAS FINE CIGARS May 26, 1999 Page 2 B. Hours of Operation: Currently, the business is open from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays (indoors only). The applicant's proposed operating hours for the patio are 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays. Shelley's, adjacent to Good Fella's, is permitted to operate entertainment outdoors until midnight Monday through Thursday, and to 1:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Security: The applicant is proposing to have one employee supervise the patio area during the hours of operation and a security guard will be present at the patio entrance Wednesday, Friday. Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Staff recommends a security guard be present at all times during patio use. D. Fencinq: The applicant has proposed wrought iron fencing; however, staff recommends the use of planter boxes or low-level decorative fencing to fence off the outdoor patio area where alcoholic beverages will be served. The fencing shall be installed prior to the commencement of use. E. Alcohol: The applicant was fined by the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control Board for serving alcoholic beverages to minors on the patio and serving of distilled spirits (see Exhibit "B"). Staff recommends that the Conditions of Approval require a revocation hearing of the Conditional Use Permit upon receipt of any future alcohol related violations filed either through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control or the City.

Our hours of operation are from 2:00pro-2: 00am Mon.-Sat. and SUndays during Football season from 10:00am-10: 00pro. Currently Good Fellas operates with five employees. The number of employees will ' increase with the addition of the patio. Good Fellas will be adding one waitress to every shift as well as two security guards to work the entrance of the patio during peek hours of operation bringing our employee count from five employees up to nine employees. Good Fellas will be operating the patio from 4:00pm-2: 00amMon. -Fri. and from 2:00pro-2: 00am on Saturdays.

ABSTRACT: This is a public hearing for the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as part of the required 45-day public review period after a Notice of Completion and Availability for Public Review of the Draft EIR was advertised in the newspaper. For this hearing, the Planning Commission should review the report, receive public comments, conclude the public hearing, discuss, and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding EIR certification. BACKGROUND: The applicant, American Beauty Development Co., first contacted the City in July of 1997 and informed staff of their property ownership of Victoria Lakes. As a result of reviewing their preliminary development concepts, staff determined that the proposed changes in land use, circulation, open space. and park were significant and would require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and multiple land use amendment applications. In January of 1998, the applicant formally submitted their General Plan, Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment applications. After selecting LSA, Inc. as the City's consultant, preparation of the EIR commenced in April of 1998, The Draft EIR was completed last December and circulated for public review. Because additional land use impacts and feasible land use alternatives were identified, the land use and alternatives sections of the Draft EIR were revised and re-circulated on April 1, 1999 with the public review period ending on May 17, 1999. ANALYSIS: A. Purpose of an EIR: The purpose of the Environmental Impact Report is to inform the public about any significant impacts to the physical environment resulting from a project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify alternatives, and promote public participation, Contents of the EIR become a planning tool for the Planning Commission and the City Council to use in determining the appropriate and the best land use arrangement for the project area and for the entire City. According to the State Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), once the EIR is completed, the City is required to make the determination of certifying the EIR within one year. Staff would like to stress that the certification of an EIR would only mean that the EIR is adequate and in compliance with CEQA. The certification of an EIR does not mean or imply support or approval of the proposed project. The proposed project must be reviewed on its own merits. The Draft Final EIR consolidates the first and the re-circulated draft EIR's into one document, is listed as Exhibit "A" and is a separate document from the staff report. B. EIR Process for GPA 98-01, VCPA 98-01. and ESPA 98-01: The EIR has been processed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 4 1. Notice of Preparation (NOP): A NOP for the EIR was prepared by the City and distributed on April 27, 1998. The NOP. describing the proposed applications and land use amendments and issues to be addressed, was distributed to the State Clearinghouse. responsible agencies, and other interested parties for a 30-day review period. The objective for distributing the NOP is to identify and determine the full range and scope of environmental issues of concern so that these issues could be fully evaluated in the EIR. Comments received during the NOP process have been addressed in the applicable sections of the EIR. 2. Public Scopinq Meetinq: The City held a noticed Public Scoping Meeting at the City on May 12, 1998. Responsible agencies, property owners within 1.000 feet around the project site, and key community representatives were invited to attend the meeting. Besides members of staff, consultants, and applicant, a total of 12 residents artended the meeting. Four of the residents were high school students, who artended the meeting for a school project. The remainder attendees were from the residential area west of the Day Creek Channel and east of Rochester Avenue. The intent of the Public Scoping Meeting was to receive public testimony on those issues that the public would like to have addressed in the EIR as related to the project and environment. The three primary issues raised by the attendees at the meeting were parkland. school, and traffic impacts. 3. Draft EIR Circulation. Notice of Completion, and Notice of Availability: The Draft EIR was completed on December 18, 1998, and circulated according to CEQA requirements with the 45-day public review period ending on February 9, 1999. The Notice of Availability for public review was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on December 18, 1998. A copy of the Draft El R was made available to the public at the City Planning Division and Library. A total of five agencies provided written comments on the Draft EIR. They are: Southern California Association of Governments; Governor's Office of Planning and Research; State Department of Conservation; California Department of Transportation (District 8); and South Coast Air Quality District. No comments were received from the general public. Our consultant, LSA. prepared responses to each environmental-related comment received, which are included in the Draft Final EIR. 4. Re-circulated Draft EIR, Revised Notice of Completion, and Revised Notice of Availability: During the 45-day public review period for the Draft EIR, based on discussions at the workshops with the Planning Commission and the applicant, there were additional land use issues and impacts identified that needed further analysis. As a result, the land use, the alternatives, and the biological resources sections of the Draft EIR were revised. According to CEQA, the proposed revisions necessitated the re- circulation of those revised sections of the Draft EIR. The following summarizes the changes: The Land Use section was revised to better discuss the project's land use compatibility with the adjacent Filippi Winery located on Base Line Road. the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist Temple located on Etiwanda Avenue. and the future planned regional commercial center south of Church Street. Additional mitigation was provided to reduce the project's impacts on land use compatibility. L PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 5 · The Alternatives section was revised to better discuss the reasons those particular alternatives were evaluated in the Draft EIR. Also discussed was the reason an alternative location to the proposed project was not evaluated in the document. A new Alternative 5 was also added which included a Special Overlay District in the area of the historic winery property to provide better buffering between future residential and commercial uses west of Day Creek Boulevard and south of Church Street. The Biology section was revised to analyze the impacts associated with retaining the 0.97-acre wetland on site. The applicant has obtained a Nationwide 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which allows retention of 0.97 acres of wetland onsite. The Summary of Impact section was revised to correct typographical errors that were made with the Draft EIR. New land use and biological mitigation measures were also included. The revised Draft EIR was completed and re-circulated on April 1, 1999, according to CEQA requirements with the 45-day public review period ending on May 17, 1999. A Notice of Completion of the Revised Draft EIR was filed with the State Clearinghouse and the Notice of Availability for public review was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on April 1, 1999. A total of five agencies provided written comments on the re-circulated Draft EIR. including Southern California Association of Governments; Governor's Office of Planning and Research; California Department of Conservation; California Depadment of Transpodation (District 8); and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. No comments were received from the general public. Again. our consultant has prepared responses to each environmental-related comment received. which are included in the Draft Final EIR. 5. Mitigation Monitoring Proqram (MMP): In compliance with CEQA, the City has prepared a monitoring program as shown in Exhibit "D." The MMP is a reporting program which identifies each adopted mitigation or required change in the project design that reduces the significance level of a particular impact. The MMP indicates responsibility and timing milestones for each mitigation measure. 6. Statement of Facts and Findinqs: CEQA states that the City cannot approve any project for which an EIR was prepared which identifies one or more significant effects unless certain findings are made and statement of facts are considered. A Statement of Facts and Findings has been prepared for this project as shown in Exhibit "E" 7. Statement of Overridinq Considerations If significant unavoidable environmental impacts result with a project. the City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. A Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared for this project as shown in Exhibit "F." PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 6 C. Summary of Siqnificant Impacts and Mitiqation: This section describes and summarizes potentially significant impacts resulting with the proposed project and those mitigation measures being recommended to reduce the level of significance for each impact as shown in Exhibit "C." 1. Land Use: Impacts: The proposed residential project is incompatible with surrounding commercial land uses including the Filippi W~ner.j, the Nichiren Shoshu Temple, the future regional mall, and the adjacent 1-15 freeway. Mitiqation: The EIR finds that implementation of noise and aesthetic mitigation measures, however, can reduce any potential incompatibility to an insignificant level. Examples of mitigation measures are: 8-foot high sound walls and/or earthern berms, 20-foot wide parkway landscape buffers, additional 25-foot setbacks from the property boundaries for dwellings, etc., The detailed description of the mitigation is listed in Exhibit "C." The EIR finds that the mitigation measures can provide the buffering between the incompatible land uses. Impacts: The project conflicts with the land use, open space, and design concept of the Victoria Lakes Village in the Victoria Community Plan, which shows 26 acres of lakes open space on site. Mitiqation: The EIR, however, findsthat implementation ofpublicservices and aesthetic mitigation measures can reduce any potential conflict to an insignificant level. The detailed description of the mitigation is as listed in Exhibit "C." Impact: The project creates a residential "island" within the Etiwanda Specific Plan and creates a "sandwich" effect of residential zones between commercial zones within the Victoria Community Plan. Miti~ation: Again, the EIR finds that implementation of air quality, noise, public services, and aesthetic mitigation measures as listed in Exhibit "C" can reduce any potential impact to an insignificant level. Staff Comment: Although the EIR finds that there are mitigation measures that can reduce the negative impacts and provide the buffering between incompatible land uses, staff believes that the approach is contrary to the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which states that land use shall be organized to avoid creating conflicts and nuisances. In analyzing the land use amendments, which will be reviewed and considered by the Commission at the June 9, 1999, meeting, staff believes that the current plan for the project site is far superior environmentally and fiscally than the proposed plan (project), where a Statement of Overriding Considerations would not be needed. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 7 2. Traffic and Circulation: Impact: The project will have an increase in traffic. A Traffic Study was prepared, which concludes that the following key intersections and freeway interchanges are impacted, which need improvements: · Haven Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Milliken Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Day Creek Boulevard/Foothill Boulevard · · Victoria Park Lane/Base Line Road Etiwanda Avenue/Highland Avenue Etiwanda AvenueNictoria Street · Etiwanda Avenue/Base Line Road Etiwanda Avenue/Church Street-Miller Avenue Etiwanda Avenue/Foothill Boulevard Etiwanda Avenue/Arrow Route ·Etiwanda Avenue/San Bernardino Avenue East Avenue/Base Line Road · Cherry Avenue/Base Line Road 1-15 Southbound Ramps/Base Line Road Iol 5 Northbound Ramps/Base Line Road SR-30 Eastbound - LA County line to Alder Avenue SR-30 Westbound - LA County line to Alder Avenue 1-10 Eastbound - LA County line to Citrus Avenue I-10 Westbound - LA County line to Citrus Avenue I-15 Northbound - Jurupa Avenue to Sierra Avenue I-15 Southbound - Riverside County line to Sierra Avenue Mitiqation: The applicant will contribute a traffic fee in accordance with the City's Traffic Fee Program for backbone infrastructure and will contribute on a fair-share basis to traffic mitigation determined by the City Engineer for those roadways and segments that will be directly affected by the proposed project. In addition, prior to approval of any tract map, a traffic study will be completed to determine whether the incremental increase in traffic resulting with the particular tract map will cause any of the affected intersections to result in unsatisfactory levels of service, If this occurs, the traffic study will determine required improvements, phasing of improvements, and funding sources, Based on the mitigation, the traffic impacts will be reduced to insignificant levels. 3. Air Quality: Impact: The short and long term air quality impacts as a result of the proposed project will exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance. Miti~lation: The EIR finds that the impacts coming from the grading and construction activities can be mitigated to insignificant levels. However, the emissions from increased vehicular trips, even with mitigation measures, will continue to exceed SCAQMD. This PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 8 is considered an unavoidable adverse impact of the project. This issue will be further discussed in Section D of the report. 4. Noise: Impact: The Noise Study that was prepared for the Draft EIR finds that noise will be generated from grading and construction activities as well as from increased traffic generation. Miti~ation: The EIR finds that Implementation of mitigation measures listed in Exhibit "C "will reduce impact to a level of insignificance. 5. Schools: Impact: The project area is within the Etiwanda School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. Schools within the two districts are at or above capacity. Future development will generate more students for the already impacted school districts. The total number of students generated by the project is based on the number of dwelling units for each land use category multiplied by the student generation rates from both school districts. The increased number of new students estimated for each of the two school districts are 597 students for K-Grade 5; 265 students for Grades 6-8; and 274 students for Grades 9-12. A total of 1,136 new students will be generated with the project. Mitiqation: Because the proposed project includes a new 10-acre school site, the EIR finds that it will help to accommodate students in K-Grade 5. To further reduce the impact to a less than significant level, the EIR requires that the applicant execute an agreement with the two districts to provide adequate mitigation and participate in the school districts' Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts for alternative methods to finance the mitigation of school impacts. 6. Parks and Recreation: Impact: The residential portion of the proposed project will increase the demand for parklands within the Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan areas. The project should provide 18.43 acres of parkland for its areas within the Victoria Community Plan and an additional 2.25 acres of parkland for its areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan; for a total of 20.68 acres of parkland. As proposed, the project will only provide a total of 13.8 acres of active recreational facilities, thus, resulting in a deficiency of 6.98 acres which is a potentially significant impact to park facilities. Mitiqation: To mitigate the impact to an insignificant level, the EIR finds that the applicant shall be responsible for the 20.68 acres of parkland by dedication or by fee. Furlher, a mitigation listed in the EIR requires the applicant to design and construct a park. Impact: The project will increase the demands for active recreational facilities including trails. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 9 Miti~qation: To mitigate the impacts, the EIR finds that future development proposals must provide additional acreage for trails to meet City needs. In addition, the applicant shall follow and implement the design concepts set out for Victoria Parkway. the community trails within the Victoria Community Plan, and the 25-foot parkway on the east side of future Day Creek Boulevard including the multi-use trail from Base Line Road south to terminate at the City's adult spods complex. Compliance with these recommended mitigation measures reduces park and recreational impacts to levels of insignificance. 7. Police and Fire Protection: Impact: Future development within the project area will place considerable demand on law enforcement and fire protection services. Mitiqation: The impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level by forming and/or joining the Law Enforcement and the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts to pay for and provide services to the project area. 8. Aesthetics/Visuah Impact: The project will replace 19 acres of proposed lakes and open space, resulting in a loss of planned open space. and alteration of existing and future public views and view corridors. Mitigation: The EIR finds that the applicant should account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a new focal point concept within the residential area. The focal point should include open space trail system linkages to the winery site and commercial areas to the south by an open space corridor incorporating such features as fountains. large gazebos, public art, public furniture, and/or increase open space/trails systems. The EIR finds that with these mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to insignificant levels. Impact: New light and glare will also be created with the project. Mitigation: The City's Design Review process will be the mechanism to ensure excessive light and/or glare is not created by future development. 9. Bioloqical Resources: Impact: The project will diminish habitat for wildlife or plants consuming 181.2 acres of alluvial fan coastal sage scrub. Miti~ation: Even though the project will substantially diminish habitat for wildlife and plants, the EIR finds that the potential impact is insignificant in this case because the quality of the alluvial fan coastal sage scrub is poor, and rare. threatened or endangered species were not observed on site. The EIR did not recommend mitigation for the loss of the habitat. However, the EIR finds that the cumulative impact is considered to be significant and recommends that the applicant participate in an off-site mitigation bank PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 10 to provide compensation for the loss of the habitat but with a less than 1: 1 replacement ratio. Staff Comments: According to the Interim Review Guidelines contained in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)for the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), the City is the lead agency which retains the discretion to make the determination whether a project within the MSHCP area, because of the project's characteristics, has no impact on the viability of biological resources and would not preclude long term preservation planning. In this case, staff concurs with the findings of the EIR that the impact is insignificant because of the poor quality of the alluvial fan coastal sage habitat and that there were no rare, threatened or endangered species sighted. Presently, there are tremendous development pressures in the City and the project area is already surrounded by development. However, within the City's sphere of influence is the North Etiwanda area, which contains better to pristine quality alluvial fan coastal sage scrub habitats. Therefore, the long term preservation planning of the habitats is not precluded. Based on this analysis, staff determines that the cumulative impact is insignificant and does not warrant mitigation. Impact: The proposed project contains 4.1 acres of man-made wetlands. The applicant processed and received a 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to remove 3 acres with the agreement of preserving 0.97 acres on site and participating in off-site mitigation bank for the loss of 0.4 acres. Retention may have an impact on the City's ability to maintain the wetland and improve or divert flows in the drainage system to the north. Additionally, retention of the wetland may increase the presence of vectors. Mitiqation: If the City chooses to eliminate the onsite wetland, an Individual 404 Permit must first be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 10. Cultural Resources: There are no known historic human burials and/or cultural materials present on site. In the event a cultural resource is uncovered, ground disturbing activities will be redirected and a qualified archaeologist will be retained to evaluate the find. If human remains are encountered, the San Bernardino County Coroner must be notified. If human remains are considered prehistoric, the Native American Heritage Commission will be notified. 11. Geolo~lic: Staff and consultant did not list geology as an impact because the project site is not within a Fault Zone or subject to liquefaction according to the City's General Plan, However, the California Division of Mines and Geology responded to the Draft EIR stating that the site is subject to significant ground motion and recommended that more stringent design standards for structures, especially schools, be applied. Staff has acknowledged this issue and will place a condition of approval for any proposed development within the project site requiring a geotechnical study on liquefaction and ground motion to be conducted by a registered engineering geologist and submitted to the City for review. Staff has for,warded the comments from the Division of Mines and Geology to the City's Building and Safety Division and Etiwanda School District. Staff will be contacting the State geologist to obtain information and supporting documents for our upcoming General Plan Study. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 11 D. Unavoidable Impacts: According to the EIR, all impacts except for long-term air quality impacts, will be reduced to insignificant levels with mitigation measures. The EIR finds that emissions for carbon monoxide, reactive organic compounds, and nitrogen oxide will exceed SCAQMD thresholds for daily operations by a large margin. Even with implementation of mitigation, air quality impacts cannot be reduced to insignificant levels. As discussed previously, the City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whetherto approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. A Statement of Facts and Findings (Exhibit "E") and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (Exhibit "F") has been prepared for Planning Commission review. E. Alternatives Considered: As required by CEQA, a total of five alternatives were evaluated, including No ProjectJNo Development; Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan; Low Medium Density Residential; School/Park; and Increased Regional Retail/Special Use Zone alternatives. 1. Alternative 1 - No Project/No Development Alternative Under this alternative, the project site will remain in its existing vacant condition. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project will be avoided, especially the proposed project's impacts on air quality. 2. Alternative 2 - Existinq Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan This alternative assumes the project site will be developed according to plans of the Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan. Under the Victoria Lakes Village Plan of the Victoria Community Plan, the project site is designated for higher residential densities. The character of the lakes was to be formed by the unique relationship of the residential, commercial, and recreational land uses surrounding a system of three terraced lakes. Under this alternative, the areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan would be develope.d Office/Professional. This alternative would result in greater impacts to air quality; noise; traffic; and police, fire, and school services because a greater number of dwelling units and land use intensity would be provided. However, this alternative would have less incompatible land uses and would require less land use mitigation. This alternative would reduce aesthetic impacts by providing more open space acreage in the form of a tiered lake feature from Base Line Road to Church Street. 3. Alternative 3 - Low Medium Density Residential Alternative This alternative would develop the project site as Low-Medium Density Residential (4 to 8 units per acre) north of Church Street, south of Base Line Road, between Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. The Office/Professional designation would be eliminated and replaced with Low-Medium Density Residential. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 12 With exception of impacts to public services, this alternative would result in impacts at the same levels or less than the proposed project. Unavoidable significant air quality impacts would continue to result with this alternative. Increased burden on police. fire, and school services would~ result. 4. Alternative 4 - School/Park Alternative This alternative would develop a school and park next to the winery, south of Base Line Road and west of Victoria Loop. An open space corridor would extend from the wetland area west of Victoria Loop south to Church Street. Proposed land uses west of Etiwanda and north of Church Street would remain Office/Professional; areas between Victoria Loop on the west, Etiwanda Avenue on the east. Base Line to the north and Church Street on the south would be designated Low-Medium. An Office/Professional buffer adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue would be provided. With exception of impacts to public services, this alternative would result in impacts at the same levels or less than the proposed project. Unavoidable significant air quality impacts would continue to result with this alternative. Increased burden on police and fire services would result. This alternative would provide an aesthetic benefit by providing a view shed corridor south through the park/school site from Base Line Road. 5. Alternative 5 - Increased Reqional Retail/Special Use Zone This "new" alternative was discussed in the re-circulated Draft EIR. This alternative proposes to retain 51.8 acres of the area between Day Creek Boulevard and the SCE easement as Regional Related Office Commercial. Medium-High and High Density Residential uses would be integrated with commercial uses through a master planned development. Approximately 15 acres along the northern perimeter of the site adjacent to the winery, would allow residential, commercial, and community uses within a Mixed Use Zone. Areas within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, currently designated Office Park would be converted to Low Medium Residential. The areas south of Church Street, between Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Loop would allow low intensity, "soft-retail" (low noise, low traffic commercial) uses; 19.7 acres would be converted from Low Density Residential to Low Medium Residential. This alternative would create traffic, noise, and air quality impacts at levels 9reater than the proposed project. Development of the 51.8 acres would generate greater impacts related to police, park, and school services. Other impacts would be the same between this alternative and the proposed project. F. Planninq Commission Workshops: During the public review period for the Draft EIR, the Planning Commission held a total of four workshops to understand and familiarize themselves with the different components of the project. These workshops serve to provide direction and guidance to the applicant and staff regarding environmental and land use and design issues within the project. Key community representatives of the Victoria and Etiwanda communities were invited to the workshops. These workshops in no case serve as a public hearing for the project. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01, ESPA 98-01 May 26, 1999 Page 13 G. Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concluded that the EIR has been prepared in compliance with CEQA. Again, staff would like to reiterate that determining the EIR is adequate does not mean or imply support or approval of the proposed project. However. before the proposed project can be approved, a Statement of Overrid ing Considerations would need to be adopted. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper. the property was posted with three 4 by 8 feet public hearing signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 1,000 feet around the project site. Also. key community representatives and residents of the Victoria Planned community and Etiwanda Community have been sent notices of this pubic hearing. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the report, conduct the hearing to receive public input and conclude the public hearing. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that the EIR is adequate for certification and forward that recommendation to the City Council.

This program has been prepared in compliance with the State law to ensure compliance with mitigation measures adopted for the project by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Assembly Bill 31g0 (Public Resources Code. Paragraph 201081.6), effective Janua~ I, 1989, requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those conditions of approval placed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on' the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliaucc during project implementation. The monitoring program contains the following elements: 1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures arc recorded with the action and proccdurc ncccssa~ to ensure compliance. In some in- stances, one action, such as plan review, may be used to verify implementation of several conditions of approval. 2. A procedure ofcompliancc and verification has been outlined for each action nccessa~. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will bc taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. 3. The program has bccn designed to bc ~cxibl6. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may bc ncccssa~ based on rccommcnda- lions by those responsible for lhc program. Ifchangcs arc made. new monitor- ing compliance procedures and records will be developed and inco~oratcd into tl~c program. t~IITIGATION ~IONITORING ~IATRIX [:INAL I!NVIRt)NMENTAL IMFACT REPORT VICTORIA ARnORS VILLAGE Monitoring and Monitoring ~ Responsible Mitigation Measures Reporting Process Milestones Party Initials Date Relnarks L-LND USE There are mitigation measures related to land use in other Refer to individual Refer to individual Planning Dept. sections of this E[R.

EXHIBIT A STATEMENT OF FACTS AND FINDINGS FOR THE VICTORIA ARBORS VILLAGE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT INTRODUCTION The following statement of findings and facts in support of findings is adopted for each environmental impact identified in the Final Eli>, (FEIR) as significant or poten- tially signi~canL For a more detailed description of each impact, each mitigation measure to be imposed, and the facts and data which support the conclusions reached herein regarding the significance of each impact after mitigation, please refer to the applicable sections of the FEIR and the technical appendices. The City Council hereby adopts and incorporates the data and analysis set forth therein as a part of this Resolution as though set forth here in full. L Description of Project Objectives The proposed project consists of approximately 291.8 acres. Of the total, the applicant, American Beauty Development Corporation, has proposed multiple land use amend- ments to approximately 192.4 acres within the Victoria Commumty Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In addition, amendments to the circulation and open space elements of the Victoria Community Plan would bc required. The proposed land usc amendments would result in the conversion of 64.3 acres of multifamily to sinSic family residential: 58.76 acres of regional rclated office com- mercial to single family rcsidcntial, medium density residential and high density residential: 18.74 acres of open space and lakes to residential: and 13.28 acres of multifamily residential to a school-park: 2.9 acrcs of community facilitics to single family residential and 8.44 of low-medium density residential to low density single family rcsidcntial in the Victoria Community Plan area (scc Figurcs 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5). Approximatcly 26 acres of of~cc/profcssional is proposed to bc convcrtcd to sinSic family residential in the Etiwanda Specific Plan (Figurc 3.3). The proposed project is part of the larger futurc master planned village (291.8 acres) in the Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan. It would facilitate a developmcnt proposal consisting of186.0 acrcs ofsinglc family dcvclopment, 18.6 acres of multiple family development, 10.6 acres for a school, 9.1 acrcs for a neigh- borhood/wethnd park, 6.7 acres of linear park, and 55.4 acres of commercial develop- mcnt. Project Objectives To provide a compact, inwardly-oriented community thcmatically tied to the historic winery and viticulturc. To provide housing types and locations that is conducive to the family orien- tation of the village. 5/13/99(R:\CRGg31\Final Rccirc EIR\Findings~FINDINGS,WPD) J Associates. Inc. To provide a mix of housing types orientcd around a cenn'ally located neigh- borhood school and park. To provide regional and village-scale trails and walkways with linear parks that will link the village to the adjoining community and commercial facilities to the south. To provide enhanced open space features and resting places to reinforce the village's connection to the regional trail system and adjoining uses. To restore a wetland area on site by designating the area a wetland park. II. Evaluation of AIteruatives For purposes of analyzing potential environmental impacts, the EIR evaluated the proposed project and four altematives. The four altematives evaluated are the No Project Alternative (as required by CEQA), Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan, Low Medium Density Residential, and School/Park Alterna- fives. These Statement of Facts and Findings address the proposed project as the alternative to be considered for approval by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, pursuant to staffs recommendation. Characteristics of the preferred alternative are provided herein. The following is a brief description of the altemativcs considered, scc Section 6.0 of the FEIR for more detail. Environtnentally Superior ,41ternatlve The No Project/No Development Alternative is an Environmentally Superior Alterna- tive since no development would occur on the project site. Unlike the proposed project or the project alternatives, the No Project/No Development Alternative would not increase demand for public services, increase traffic volumes, circulation. air emissions, and noise levels (associated with construction and operation of additional land uses), cause the additional need for recreational facilities, or increase potential impacts to biological or cultural resources, land use incompatibilities. and aesthetics that may otherwise result from development of the project site. Significant short-term construction emissions would be eliminated, and significant unavoidable long-term CO, ROC, and NOx emissions would be reduced with the No Project/No Development Alternative. As required by CEQA (Section 15126(d)(4), if the No Project/No Development Alter- native is selected as the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR shall also idcn- tify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives. Among the alternatives considered, there was not an alternative to the proposed project that would contain a development scenario that would not have a significant adverse impact on air quality. Even after mitigation is implemented, the Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative, the Low-Medium Ahcrnative, and the 5/13/99(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIR\Findings\FINDINGS.WpD) 2 School/Park Alternative would continue to have unavoidable adverse impacts on air quality. Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative has the least damaging environmental impacts on aesthetics with the inclusion of lakes and associated open space. Of the viable alternatives, the School and Park Alternative would result in a slight increase in daily and peak hour vehicle trips and contaminant emissions but when compared with the proposed project all other impacts are gener- ally considered the same. There would, however, be an increase in the available open space with this alternative by providing an open space trail system from the winery through the adjacent park south to Church Street. This would result in less impacts on open space than for the proposed project. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative. If the site is to contain the lakes and open space area proposed in the Victoria Lakes Village, the City would have to provide long-term maintenance of the area. The cost to maintain the lakes and open space may cause an additional burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for the open space and lakes is not certain. Low-Medium Density Alternative provided a more logical land use alternative to the impacts associated with increase noise and potential incompatibility issucs of locating officc commercial uses (OP) adjacent to single family residences (LM). This altcrna- live would rcquirc changing OP to LM in thc Etiwanda Specific Plan arca bctwccn Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. tlowcver, there still cxists the potcntial impacts of noise and increases pollutants by locating LM adjacent to thc 1-15 corridor in the area of Church Strcct. This is also an impact of the proposed project. Through thc analysis in Section 4.0 of the FEIR and thc alternatives analysis in this scction, it was dctcrmincd that thc proposcd project is thc environmcntally superior ahcrnativc. As discusscd abovc nonc of thc altcrnativcs with thc cxccption of thc No Build/No Dcvclopmcnt Altcrnativc reduccs the long-term impacts on air quality. With implcmcntation of proposed mitigation, thc proposed projcct's impacts on land use, traffic, noisc, aesthetics, parks, opcn space, schools, police, biological resources and cultural rcsourccs havc been reduced to levels of less than signi ticant. No Project Alternative Under the No Project/No Development Alternative, the project site would remain in its existing vacant condition. Most of the potential impacts associated with the pro- posed project would be avoided, especially the proposed project's impacts on air quality which remain significant after mitigation. Evaluation of the No Project Alternative The No Project/No Development Alternative would reduce and/or eliminate all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed pro- jeer. In particular, significant ad latcd to short term construe 5/13/99(R:\CRG83t\Final Rccirc EIRXFindings\FINDING.g. WI'D} 3 ZS~t tlssociates. Inc. tion emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds for daily operations by a large margin (especially NOx), would not occur with this alternative. Flowever, this alternative would result in impacts by elimi- nating opportunities to provide housing and meet the goals of the City's Gen- eral Plan Housing Element. This alternative would fail to meet three important objectives of the project and the City of Rancho Cu/:amonga. The first objective is to preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City and provide a variety of housing types for various income levels; the second ob- jective is to protect the neighborhood quality and residential nature of the neighborhood to the east; the third objective is to provide in~ll residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative This alternative suggests that the project site be developed under the approved plans of the Victoria Community Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Under the Victoria Lakes Village Plan of the Victoria Community Plan. the proposed project is dcsig- nated for higher residential densities. The character ofthe lakes was to be formed by the unique relationship of the residential, commercial, and recreational land uses surrounding a system of three terraced lakes that arc designated as the village open space. Under this alternative, the 25.48 acres residing in the Etiwanda Specific Plan of the proposed project would remain Office/Professional as designated in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Evahtation of the ~risting Victoria Contmunily Plan attd Etiwanda Specific Plan ,,tlternative The Existing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan AItcrna- tire would reduce but not eliminate all potentially significant adverse envi- ronmcntal impacts of the proposed project. In particular. significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the SCAQMD thresholds for daily opera- tions by a large margin would still occur with this alternative. However, this alternative would result in potentially greater impacts to air quality, noise and traffic because the approved Victoria Community and Etiwanda Specific Plans in this area propose a greater number of dwelling units and intensity of land use. This alternative would slightly increase the need for public services such as police and fire but especially schools. The proposed project provides for an elementary school site to house all elementary school students generated by the proposed project. The approvcd Victoria Community Plan does not pro- vide for a school site and would have a significant adverse impact on clcmen- tary schools in the area. This alternative would reduce the aesthetic impacts (open space) of the pro- posed project by providing more open space acreage in the form of a tiered C-- ' Pt 78 lake feature from Base Line Road south to Church Street. This linear feature would include active park space and a trails system. The proposed project includes a trails system that is in conformancc with the requirements of the Victoria Community Plan. This trail would tic the trail system north of Base Line Road to trails planned south of Church Street and west to Day Creek Channel. The proposed project also includes a 7.l-acre active community park adjacent to a 10.6-acre school site. Both the proposed project and this alternative lack the required park space needed to meet the needs of the planned increase in population. Mitigation would be required of both the proposed project and this alternative to reduce impacts to parks to less than significanb There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of The Exist- ing Victoria Community Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Alternative. If the site is to contain the lakes and open space area proposed in the Victoria Lakes Village, the City would have to provide long-term maintenance of the area. The cost to maintain the lakes and open space may cause an additional burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 2 18, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for the open space and lakes is not certain. Low-2~fedium Density Residential Alternative Under the Low-Medium alternative. the project site would be developed to have low- medium density residential north of Church Street, south of Base Line Road. between Etiwanda Avenue and Victoria Loop. This land use category allows for low medium density single family residential (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) which is appropriate in proximity to major community thcilitics, employment opportunities, and thorough- fares. The Office Professional designation would be eliminated and replaced with the Low-Medium designation (Figure 6.1). The low-medium density residential is the most common use in the proposed project and the addition of this use along Etiwanda Avenue would be compatible with what is proposed. Evaluation of the Low-b[edium Density tlltcrnative With the exception of potential impacts to public services. impacts associated with the Low-Medium Density Residential Alternative are either the same/similar or less of a potential impact than those stated in the proposed project. Significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emis- sions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin, would still occur with this alternative. Although this alternative would slightly increase the number of vehicle trips to/from the areas in ques- lion, this increase would not bc considered significant. Potentially greater impacts to public services would slightly increase the nccd for public services such as police and fire, and especially schools. The proposed project provides for an elementary school site to house all elementary school students gener- ated by the proposed project. Adherence to mitigation measures stated in the proposed project will reduce impacts to public services to a less than signifi- cant level. LSA A~sociate& Inc. School/Park Alternative Under the School/Park Alternative the school and park would be located adjacent to the winery, south of Base Line Road and west of Victoria Loop. There would also be an opcn space corridor that would extend from the wetland area west of Victoria Loop south to Church Street. This alternative would promote an open space feel between the winery and the park and could possibly tie the historic theme of the winery with the park. Proposed land uses west of Etiwanda and north of Church Street would remain Office Professional (OP) and Low-Medium (LM) (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) for the remaining areas between Victoria Loop on the west, Etiwanda Avenue on the east, Base Line to the north and Church Street on the south. This area is all within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. This alternative proposes to leave an OP buffer adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue that includes and Nichiren Shoshu Temple and the existing residen- tial property on the northwest comer of Church Street and Etiwanda. Evaluation of the School/Park Alternative With the exception of potential impacts to public services, impacts associated with the School/Parks Alternative are either the same/similar or less of a potential impact than those stated in the proposed project. Significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin would still occur with this alternative. Although this alternative would slightly increase the number of vehicle trips to/from the areas in question. this increase would not be considered significant. Potentially greater impacts to public services would slightly increase the need for public services such as police and fire, and espccially schools. The proposcd project provides for an elcmcntary school site to house all elementary school students generated by the proposcd project as does this alternative. Adherence to mitigation measures stated in the proposed project will rcduce impacts to public services to a less than significant level. This alternative would have a beneficial impact on aesthetics by providing a view shed corridor south through the park and school site from travelers on Base Line Road. The location or the park adjacent to the winery may also provide opportunities for activities including historic preservation and vine- yard related experience to occur. However, locating a park in the central portion of the project site can provide for a neighborhood connection to sur- rounding residential dcvelopment. EFFECTS DETERSfINED NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT OR MITIG.4 TED TO A LESS-THAN-SIGNIFICANT LEt/EL Land Use Significant Effect No. 1 Thc proposcd projcct consisting of single family residential would be in conflict with surrounding commcrcial land uses and adjacent 1-15. The proposcd project would crcatc an incompatibility betwccn existing and planned land uscs liar this arcs. This incompatibility bctwccn the proposed residential and the I-15 and planned commcrcial is a potentially significant impact. Finding No. 1 Changes or alterations have been required in. or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 1 The potential impacts pertaining to the incompatibility between existing and planned land uses for this area have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less'than'signifi- cant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. Those measures will ensure that land use compatibility will bc obtained through mitigation measures outlined in sections 4.4 (Noise) and 4.6 (Aes- thetics) for those measures that also benefit land use compatibility ofthe project. The mitigation measures are as follows: Noise 1. Noise studies shall be required to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to final map approval for residential units proposed within the following areas: · Within 249 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between future Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane; Within 378 feet of the eentcrline of Base Line Road between Victoria Park Lane and Eliwands Avenue; Within 66 feet of the centerline of Church Street between Rochcstcr Avenue and future Day Creek Boulevard; Within 194 feet of the ccntcrline of Church Street between future Day Creek Boulevard and Eliwands Avenue; Within 211 fcct of the centerline of future Day Crock Boulevard be- tween Base Line Road and Church Street; and 5/13/c)9(R:\CRag31\Final Recite EIR\Findings%FINDINGS.WPD} 7 · Within 269 feet of the centerline of future Day Creek Boulevard be- tween Church SWeet and Foothill Boulevard. Mitigation such as setback, concrete block wall, or earthen bcrm or their combination along the property line, proper building orientation, building facade upgrade, doublc-paned windows, and/or mechanical ventilation shall be provided. 2. Noise walls along future Day Creek Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, and Church Street shall be no more than 8 feet tail to avoid a sense of "visual enclosure" for these Scenic Corridors, and should be set back an adequate distance to allow landscaping on the road side of the sound wall. This re- quirement shall be attached as a condition of approval by the City Planning Department prior to approval ofany development bordering future Day Creek Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, and Church Street. Aesthetics 3. Landscape requirements shall be established for the far southern end of the project site to screen new development from the view of motorists along I-15 looking north. However. this landscaping should also allow views north towards the mountains, using the view corridor provided by the future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. The City Planning Department shall address such landscaping as a condition of approval for any development in the area of I-15. The landscape design shall be to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and City Planner. 4. The Design Review process for commercial establishments and public places shall ensure that no significant light or glare impacts shall result from the proposed project. Specific issues to be evaluated at the time ofdcsign review shall include the following: proposed exterior lighting and landscaping of parking areas to reduce visible lighting from outside these areas; use of shielding on exterior lights to focus light onto the ground; and, proposed architectural materials to ensure that reflective materials arc minimized. Significant Effect No. 2 The proposed project conflicts with the adopted land use, open space, and design concept of the Victoria Lakes Village in the Victoria Community Plan. This incom- patibility bctwccn these concepts of the Victoria Lakes Village is a potentially signi~- cant impact. Finding No. 2 Changes or alterations have been required in. or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. 5113/99(R:\CRG831\Fina[ Rccirc EIR\Findings\FINDINGS,WPD) 8 Facts in Support of Finding No. 2 The potential impacts pertaining to the conflicts with the adopted land use, open space, and design concept of the Victoria Lakes Village in the Victoria Community Plan have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-siSal ticant through imple- mentation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. Those measures will ensure that land use conflicts will be avoided through mitigation measures outlined in sections 4.5 (Public Services) and 4.6 (Aesthetics) for those measures that also benefit land use compatibility ofthe project. The mitigation measures are as follows: Public Services Parks and Recreation 1. The developer shall be subject to Ordinance No. 105 set by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to establish regulations for dedication of land, payment of fees, or both, for park and recreational land in subdivisions and planned communities.

Significant Effect No. 14 Increases in noise levels could result from projcct-rclatcd traffic on access roads leading to the project site. Project-related long-term vehicular trip increases would be 45,487 daily. The incremental traffic noise level increases would be less than 2 dBA, except along Church Street between Rochester Avenue and future Day Creek Boule- vard, where the increase would be 4.7 dBA but no sensitive uses exist currently. No signi ticant traffic noise impacts on off-site sensitive uses are anticipated. However, proposed on-site residential uses would potentially be exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the 60 dBA Ldn standard recommended for residential uses. Finding No. 14 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 14 The potential impacts pertaining to exposing on-site residential uses to noise levels exceeding standards along area roadways have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measures are as follows: 5/13/g9(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIR\Findings~FINDINGS.WpD) 29 1. Noise studies shall be required to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to final map approval for residential units proposed within the following areas: Within 249 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between future Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane; Within 378 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between Victoria Park Lane and Etiwanda Avenue; · Within 66 feet of the centerline of Church Street between Rochester Avenue and future Day Creek Boulevard; Within 194 feet of the centerline of Church Street between future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue; Within 211 feet of the centerline of future Day Creek Boulevard be- tween Base Line Road and Church Street; and Within 269 feet of the centerline of future Day Creek Boulevard be- tween Church Street and Foothill Boulevard. Mitigation such as setback, concrete block wall, or earthen berrn or their combination along the properly line, proper building orientation, building facade upgrade, double-paned windows, and/or mechanical ventilation shall be provided. Public Services Schools Significant liyfect No. 15 As a result of the overcrowding in the classrooms of the Etiwanda and Charley School Districts, both districts have urged and continue to urge the City not to approve devcl- opmcnt applications unless adequate school facilities arc available to serve the dcvcl- opment project. Future development will generate more students for the already impacted school districts and is considered significant. School mitigation plans would be enacted between the Etiwanda School Districb~Chaffey Joint Union High School District and the project developer providing for a per dwelling unit fee rate for the residential portion of the project site. Findlug No. 15 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts iu Support of Finding No. 15 The proposed projcct's impact on schools has been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measures are as follows: 5/13199(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIR\Findings\FINDINGS.WpD) 30 LSA Associates. Inc. 1. The developer shall be required to execute an agreement with Etiwanda School District and Chaffey Unified High School District to provide adequate mitigation. Such an agreement shall be executed prior to Planning Commis- sion approval for any residential project within the General Plan Amendment area. Actual implementation of the agreement by the payment of fees, dedica- tion of sites or other mitigation will take place as building permits arc ob- tained. 2. In the event that the developer declines to execute a mitigation agreement, the City shall require full mitigation as a condition of approval. Full mitigation shall be accomplished by means of a requirement to form a Mcllo-Roos Com- munity Facilities district for school facilities. In order to reduce the burden on the future homeowners, it is possible to structure the community facilities district such that some of the special taxes would be prepaid by the developer. Parks and Recreation Significant Effect No. 16 The residential portion of the proposed project would increase the demand for active recreation facilities within the Victoria Community and Etiwanda Specific Plan areas. For the Victoria Community Plan area, the proposed project must provide 22.41 acres of parkland, and for the Etiwanda Specific Plan, an additional 2.35 acres for a total of 20.68 acres ofparkland is required for the proposed project. Currently, the proposed project has only provided for a total of 8.62 acres of active recreational facilities causing a deficiency of 20.68 acres of active recreation which is a significant impact to park facilities. Finding No. 16 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 16 The proposed project's impact on parks has been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measures are as follows: 1. The developer shall be subject to Ordinance No. 105 set by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to establish regulations for dedication of land, payment of fees, or both, for park and recreational land in subdivisions and planned communities. The developer is responsible for 24.76 acres of parkland either by fee or by dedication. 2. At the time of filing a tentative tract map or a minor subdivision plat for approval, the City Park and Recreation Commission shall determine whether dedication of property for 24.76 acres of park and recreational purposes or in lieu of fees are necessary. If the City desires dedication, the area shall be designated on the tentative tract map when submitted and a General Plan 5/13/99(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIRXFindings\FINDINGSWI'I)) 3 1 LSA Associaws. Inc. amendment indicating the location of any park shall be processed subject to Park and Recreation Commission review and recommendation. 3. Where dedication is offered and accepted, it shall be accomplished in accor- dance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. Where fees are re- quired, the same shall be deposited with the City prior to the issuance of building permits. Significant Effect No. 17 The residential and commercial areas proposed would increase the demand for active recreational facilities causing a significant impact to trail use in the City. Finding No. 17 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 17 The potential impacts of the proposed project on trails have been eliminated or re- duced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. To mitigate the potential impacts to trails and to also implement the City's Master Plan ofTrails, future dcvcl- opmcnt proposals must provide additional acreage for trails to meet the need within the City. The mitigation measures are as follows: 1. The parkway on the east side of "future" Day Creek Boulevard shall be wid- ened by 20 to 25 feet to provide a multi-use trail from Base Line Road south to terminate at the City's adult sports complex. Specific design of the trail shall be determined by the City at the time development plans are submitted for review and approval for any development proposals adjacent to "future" 'Day Creek Boulevard. The specific design shall tie in with the City's Day Creek Boulevard Master Plan design. The trail shall be designed to connect to planned and existing trail systems in the Etiwanda Noah Specific Plan and shall connect the residential areas north and south of Base Line to the regional commercial areas adjacent to Interstate 15. 2. The developer shall follow and implement the design concepts set out for Victoria Parkway, and community trail system within the Victoria Commu- nity Plan. 3. The developer shall provide a system of trails within the proposed projcct's linear park system connecting existing trails to the regional center within the Victoria Community Plan area. 5/13/99(R:\CRGRll\Final Recite EIR\FiBdings\FINDINGSWPD) 32 Police Significant Effect No. 18 The proposed project will result in a potentially significant impact as an increase in demand for police services. An additional five police personnel would be required for the proposed residential and commercial development. Finding No. 18 Changes of alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 18 The potential impacts of the proposed project on police have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measure is as follows: 1. As stated in the General Requirements and Approvals for the Police Depart- ment for the City, a signed consent and waiver form to join and/or form the Law Enforcement Community Facilities District shall be filed with City Engineering prior to final map approval or the issuance of building permits, whichever occurs first for any projects within the project area between Base Line Road and 1-15. Formation costs shall bc borne by the developer. Fire Significant Effect No. 19 Impacts of the proposed project on fire service for the City of Rancho Cucamonga arc potentially significant. Based on the standard response time threshold of five minutes, and the prgject's location relative to Stations 3, 4, and 5, the site is anticipated to fall within the five-minute response time criteria. Finding No. 19 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 19 The potential impacts of thc proposcd projcct on fire scrviccs havc bccn climinatcd or rcduccd to a Icvcl of Icss-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation mcasurcs and project dcsign dcscribcd within the Final EIR. Thc mitigation mcasurcs are as follows: 5/13/99(R:\CRG831\Final Recite EIR\FindingslFINDINGS.WPD) 33 ~s.~ ~ssociates. tnc. 1. The developer shall join the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District to provide fire protection services to the site. 2. The developer shall install automated fire sprinkler systems in commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential units in accordance with Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 15 and Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 22. Aesthetics Significant Effect No. 20 The proposed project would replace 19 acres of lakes and open space, for increased residential and commercial uses, causing a substantial loss of planned open space. This would significantly alter existing and future public views and view corridors. Finding No. 20 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 20 The potential visual impacts of the proposed project have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measures are as follows: I. New buildings within 100 feet of future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue shall be restricted to 35 feet in height to protect the view corridor of the mountains for motorists traveling north. The City Planning Department shall ensure that this condition is applied prior to approval of the proposed General Plan amendments. 2. Noise walls along future Day Creek Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, and Church Street shall be no more than 8 feet tall to avoid a sense of "visual enclosure" for these Scenic Corridors, and should be set back an adequate distance to allow landscaping on the road side of the sound wall. This re- quirement shall be attached as a condition of approval by the City Planning Department prior to approval of any development bordering future Day Creek Boulevard, Et wands Avenue and Church Street. 3. The City Planning Department shall amend the Community Design Criteria Part II of the Victoria Community Plan for its "recommended edge condi- tions" for future Day Creek Boulevard to show a similar landscape and set- back treatment on both the east and west sides of Day Creek Boulevard. This proposed landscaping shall be enhanced by short and tall drought-tolerant shrubs adjacent to sound walls to reduce the visual impacts of such walls. 5113199(R:\CRG831~Final Rccirc EIRXFindings\FINDINGS,WpD} 34 4. Landscape requirements shall be established for the far southern end of the project site to screen new development from the view of motorists along I-15 looking north. However, this landscaping should also allow views north towards the mountains, using the view corridor provided by the future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. The City Planning Department shall address such landscaping as a condition of approval for any development in the area oft-15. Significant Effect No. 21 New light and glare would be created by the addition of residences and commercial establishments in an area previously proposed as a utility corridor. The most signifi- cant glare would be generated by commercial uses at the southern end of the project site, especially in association with outdoor parking that may be lit at night and that would be visible from roadways such as the future Day Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard, as well as minor roads to the east of the project site such as Victoria Loop, Church Street, and Day Creek Boulevard East. Finding No. 21 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the cnvirnnmcnt. Facts in Support of Finding No. 21 The potential visual impacts of the proposed project by the introduction of additional light and glare into the project area have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less- than-significant through implcmcntation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measure is as follows: 1. The Design Review process for commercial establishments and public places shall ensure that no significant light or glare impacts shall result from the proposed project. Specific issues to be evaluated at the time of design review shall include the following: proposed exterior lighting and landscaping of parking areas to reduce visible lighting from outside these areas; use of shielding on exterior lights to focus light onto the ground; and, proposed architectural materials to ensure that reflective materials are minimized. 2. The developer shall account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a new focal point concept within residential area to be submitted for Design Review. The focal point concept could include an open space trail system linkage to the winery site and commercial areas to the south by an open space corridor, and incorporate such features as a fountains, large ga- zcbo, public art, public furniture, and/or increased open space/trails systems. 5/13199(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIR~Findings\FINDINGS.WPD) 35 Siguificant Effect No. ,22 The project could conflict with policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and recommendations found in the Victoria Community Plan. Finding No. 22 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts bt Support of Fiuding No. 22 The potential conflict of the proposed project with the policies of the City's General Plan Community Design Element and landscape recommendations found in the Victo- ria Community Plan have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measures are as follows: 1. Provisions shall be made to account for protection of viewsheds and plant palette plans shown in the Victoria Community Plan for major intersections along future Day Creek Boulevard, Victoria Park Lane, and Church Street. Such provisions may include the following: building setbacks within the project site; varied allowable heights with lower heights nearest the inter- changes; clustering of buildings; and, landscaping to complement the viewshed. These issues shall be addressed by the City Planning Department as recommendations for the Design Review process at the time of developing conditions of approval for any projects within the proposed project corridor. 2. To reduce potential conflicts with policies of the City's Community Design Element, recommended mitigation measures found under 4.6.1 shall also be implemented. 3. The Community Design Criteria Part II of the Victoria Community Plan shall be amended immediately following project approval to address new uses proposed as part of the project. However, as part of this amendment, some requirements shall be included to reduce visual impacts of new development by inclusion of landscaping near major roads that matches those proposed by the Plan, For example, trees shall be planted along the site's property lines and along roadways to screen new development from view. Within the site and adjacent to major east-west corridors, the City shall designate areas for landscaping, ensuring that land adjacent to the roads is planted with low- growing vegetation to maintain a degree of visual open space on the project site. Biological Resources Significant Effect No. 23 The proposed project would substantially diminish habitat for wildlife or plants; this impact is considered to be significant. 5/13/99(R:\CRG831'~Final Recirc E1R\Findings\FINDINGS.WpD) 36 LSJAssociate& Inc. Finding No. 23 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 23 The potential impacts pertaining to diminishing habitat for wildlife or plants have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measure is as follows: 1. Minimize the amount of coastal sage scrub lost as the result of development (i.e., preserve the majority of the habitat on site) through project and construc- lion redesign, and purchase off-site lands to compensate for those areas of coastal sage scrub impacted. 2. Restore (to ensure no-net-loss of acreage and quality) coastal sage scrub in annual grassland and/or abandoned vineyards to compensate for the loss of these habitats from elsewhere on site. 3. Participate in off-site mitigation bank (i.e., Team Arundo) to provide compen- sation for the loss of 0.4 acre of mixed willow series. 4. Purchase and preserve (in pcrpctuity) off-site lands to provide substitute resources for the coastal sagc scrub that would bc lost through project con- struction. Suitable lands would support coastal sage scrub and would be in a location that would facilitate management of this habitat type, such as adjoin- ing the North Etiwanda Preserve. Given the disturbed condition of habitat on the project site, a less than 1:1 replacement ratio. Significant Effect No. 24 The proposed project proposes to retain 0.97 acre of wctland on site. The retention may have a significant impact on the City's ability to improve or divert flows in the drainage system north of the proposed projcct area. Finding No. 24 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 24 The potential impacts have been eliminated or reduced to a level of Icss-than-signifi- cant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measure is as follows: 5/13/99(R:\CRG831\Final Recite EIR\FindingsNI:INDINGS WP{)) 37 Associates. Inc. 1. If the City desires to eliminate the retention ofthe wetland on site, an individ- ual 404 permit shall be obtained from the Corps by the applicant. Mitigation required by the Corps may include creation or enhancement of off-site wet- land habitat at a ratio ofat least 1:1 and as high as 3:1 (i.e., 3 acres created for each acre impacted). Provisions of the permit shall be adhered to prior to the issuance ofgrading permits for the area which contains the wetland. Cultural Resources Significant Effect No. 25 The potential for historic human burials and/or cultural materials may be present in the project area Finding No. 25 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding No. 25 The potential impacts pcrlaining to disturbance of human remains during construction have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than-significant through implcmcn- tation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EIR. The mitigation measure is as follows: 1. In the event a cultural resource is uncovered during the course of the project, ground disturbing activities in the vicinity of the find should be rcdirectcd until the nature and extent of the find can be evaluated by a qualified archae- ologist. If human remains are encountered, the San Bemardino County Coroner must be notified within 24 hours. If the coroner determines that the burial is not historic, but prehistoric, the Native American Heritage Commission must be contacted to determine the most likely descendent (MLD) for this area. The MLD may become involved with the disposition of the burial. 5/IM99(R:\CRG831\Final Rccirc EIR\Finding~\FINDINGSWpD) 38 EIR FOR GPA 98-02, VCPA 98-01 AND ESPA 98-01 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS EXHIBIT "F" 15A t~soctates. Inc. EXHIBIT B STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE VICTORIA ARBORS VILLAGE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT INTRODUCTION The following Statement of Overriding Considerations in connection with the Victoria Arbors Village proposed project and alternatives considered in the EIR, and related discretionary actions (collectively referred to as the "Project") is hereby adopted by the Raneho Cucamonga City Council ("Council") pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 ct scq. CCEQA"). CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable adverse effects, those effects may be considered acceptable (CEQA Guidelines section 15093[a]). CEQA requires the agency to provide written findings ~ (Exhibit A) supporting the specific reasons for considering a project acceptable when significant impacts are unavoidable. Such reasons must be based on substantial evidence in the FEIR or elsewhere in the administrative record (CEQA Guidelines section 15093[b]). Those reasons are provided in this Statement of Overriding Considerations. The fIR has identified significant and unavoidable adverse impacts that would result from the implementation of the proposed project and/or its alternatives. Operational emissions of the proposed project would result in total emissions of 2,034 Ibs./day of CO, 153 lbs./day oF ROC, 326 Ibs./day of NOx, 36 Ibs./day of SOx, and 47 lbs./day of PMt0. Emission levels ofCO, ROC, and NOx would exceed the SCAQMD threshold for long-term operations. Even after implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Final fIR, it is not guaranteed that the emissions would be reduced to below the signi fleanee thresholds. Therefore, the project's impact on air quality during daily operations would remain significant and unavoidable. The Council finds that the economic, social or other benefits of the Project and its AIternatives outweigh all of the Prnject's and its Alternati yes signi ticant and unavoidable impacts discussed in the Statement of CEQA Findings and Facts in Support of Findings and any other remaining significant effects found to be unavoidable including but not limited to the project's impacts on air quality. In making this finding. the Council has balanced the benefits of the Project and its Alternatives against its unavoidable impacts and has indicated its willingness to accept those adverse impacts. The Council finds that each of the following benefits of the Project and its Alternatives, independent of the other benefits, would warrant approval of the Project or its Alternatives notwithstanding the unavoidable impacts of the Project or its Alternatives. 5/12/99(R:\CRGf31XFinal Recite EIRXFindinRs~$TATEMEN.WPD) OVERRIDING CONSIDER,4TIONS 1. All feasible mitigation has been proposed to reduce or avoid potentially significant impacts identified in the FEIR, and no additional feasible mitigation is available to further reduce all potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance. 2. The adoption ofthc Victoria Arbors Vi Ilage project is necessary to provide for the orderly growth and development of the area by providing policies, regulations, and guidelines that will guide further development in a manner consistent with the pot icies ofthe City ofRancho Cucamonga General Plan and the desires of the community, and ensure provision of in frastructure improve- ments that are necessary to provide foradequate circulation, delivcry of utilities, control of drainage, and disposal ofwastcwater. 3. The Victoria Arbors Village project is necessary for the CRy to adequately control and regulate orderly development and help ensure that new development is consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. 4. The Victoria Arbors Village project provides a circulation system which incorporates bicycle, pedestzian, and automotive considerations resulting in a balanced transportation system within the project area. The trails will connect the residential neighborhoods with the commercial regional areas within the community. 5. The Victoria Arbors Village project provides for health, safety, and welfare through proper siting of public buildings/facilities, and by incorporating federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to seismic safety design and construction. 6. Although air quality impacts can be anticipated with any large-scale develop- ment of the subject property, the FEIR. imposes feasible mitigation measures that will reduce those impacts to the extent feasible in both the short and long- 5/12/99(R:\CRGS}I'~Final Recite EIR~Findinga~TATEMEN.WpD) 2 RESOLUTION NO.

These site development standards should be used in conjunction with the design guidelines which are set forth in Section 17.08.090 of this chapter. This section shall not be construed to supersede more restrictive site development standards contained in the Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions of any property or dwelling unit. However, in no case shall private deed restrictions permit a lesser standard in the case of a minimum standard of this section or permit a greater standard in the case of a maximum standard of this section. A. Development Standards. The development standards for residential development are arranged into two categories: (1) basic development standards, and (2) optional development standards. These standards are used in conjunction with the Absolute Policies and Design Guidelines during the residential land development/design review process as discussed in Chapter 17.06. Each residential development must conform to either the basic standards or the optional standards. 1. Basic Development Standards. These standards are intended to provide basic standards which will ensure good quality and compatible projects. A residential development over four units per acre is generally limited to the mid-point of the density range for which it is designated. These standards, as well as the density limitation, are intended to create a development which will be compatible and provide for proper transitions from more sensitive or less intense residential development. 17.08-9 5/99 Rancho Cucamo,,~,~a Development Code _ Section 17.08.040 2. Optional Development StandardS. Those standards are intended to provide high standards for the development of projects of supodor quality and compatibility. The optional standards allow development at the higher end of the designated density range. However, the standards and development expectations have been increased above and beyond the basic standards in order to ensure proper transitions and buffers from lower intense residential uses. The ultimate density allowed in any residential district shall be determined through the residential land development design review process and public hearings as described in Chapter 17.06. The Planning Commission shall have the authority to reasonably condition any residential development to ensure proper transition and compatibility to adjacent residential developments; existing or proposed. B. Basic Development Standards.. The following table, Table 17.08.040-B sets forth minimum d~velopment standards for residential development projects filed up to the mid-point of the permitted density range.

F. Land Use Conflicts. The matrix in Table 17.08.050-F indicates the conflicts that are presumed to exist between land uses, The types of mitigation measures listed in the following sections are the design tools that should be employed either separately or in combination to mitigate existing or potential land use conflicts. The Absolute Policies require that such conflicts be effectively mitigated in the project design. 1. Land Use Conflict Mitiqation Measures a. Open Space Setbacks. By providing an open space buffer between conflicting land uses, conflicts can often be avoided. The width of the buffer required will depend on the severity of conflict and the extent of landscaping- To work effectively, the ownership, use, and maintenance of the open space buffer must be clearly defined. b. Landscapinq and Topoqraphic Chanqes. As part of an open space buffer or as a treatment of land immediately adjacent to buildings, landscaping can be used to reduce conflicts. c. Dense plantinqs of everqreens can provide a visual buffe(. (1) Sensitive landscaping can soften the sharp visual contrast between two abutting land uses by subduing the differences in architecture and bulk and by providing a gradual transition rather than a harsh edge between uses. (2) Dense growth.of ptants can be visually appealing but also can be used to discourage unwanted and unsafe pedestrian or bicycte access between land uses. (3) Landscaping can be used in combination with other mitigation measures, such as reducing the width of open space buffer required and soften the visual conflict created by safety and security fences, 17.08-28 5/99 Rancho Cucamonaa Development Code Section 17. 08. 050 (4) Recontouring of the land can alter views, subdue sounds, reduce glare, change the sense of proximity, and channel pedestrian travel. d. Orientation. The strict spatial proximity between land uses and the apparent or functional proximity can be very different depending on the orientation of buildings and activities in the two land uses. (1) The buildings themselves can cause a buffer to be created by effectively turning their backs on each other -- orienting views, access, and principal activities away from the other land use. Care must be taken, however, that a hazardous and unaesthetic "no-roans" land is not created in the process. (2) Alternately, the intervening space can be eliminated altogether if the two buildings share a common back wall. (3} An entire site plan shall be oriented so that the activities and functions are aligned hierarcbically -- placing those least compatible furthest from the common boundary between land uses and those most compatible near that boundary (i.e., single story adjacent to single story). e. Barriers and Alleviation. It may be appropriate and necessary to use physical barriers to prevent the undesirable attributes of one land use from affecting the people and activities in the adjacent land use. (1) Fences, walls, and berms can prevent the passage of people into areas that would be unsafe or insecure. (2) Light and noise can also be mitigated through physical barriers such as fences, walls, betins, screens, and landscaping. f. Archit~. In addition to the architectural considerations involved in mitigation through orientation, the architectural design of buildings can reduce conflict and promote compatibility. (1) Materials, colors, scale, and prominence of buildings in adjacent land uses can be coordinated so there is a gradual transition from one land use to another rather than a sharp and displeasing contrast. Purely aesthetic details that are "tacked" onto a building to cover up land use conflicts, however, will cause more harm than good. (2) The architectural compatibility should rise from a total consideration of the function of each land use and the function of the space between them. g. Circulation. Streets and parking areas can often serve to reduce certain types of land use conflicts. Separation of conflicting uses with a street or parking area can provide a buffer. 17.08-29 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.050 Table 17.08.050-F - Land Use Conflicts -...,,...o-,..

Section 17.08.090 - General Design Guidelines A. Intent. The intent of the guidelines is to assist the developer in understanding and complying with the City's standards for building and site design. The guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plan, and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets. The guidelines establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. B. Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to all development within all residential districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any residential district subject to Development/Design Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06 shall adhere to these guidelines where applicable. C. Site Plan Desiqn 1. Existin Site ConditiOns. Natural features should be used to an advantage as design elements; such as, mature vegetation, landforms, drainage courses, grading, rock outcroppings, and views. Conversely, undesirable site features can be minimized through proper site planning and building orientation. 2. Buildinq Orientation. placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner compatible ~vith surrounding existing and planned uses and buildings. The setback from streets and adjacent properties should relate to the scale of the proposed building. Larger buildings require more setback area for a balance of scale and compatibility with adjacent uses. Buildings should be oriented along a north-south axis, as much as possible, to encourage energy conservation. For multi-family development, attached dwellings should be provided with relief and a sense of variety. This could be achieved by staggering the units. The placement of buildings should relate to one another and create a variety of view orientation for increased interest and openness. This could be achieved by skewing or angling the buildings. Buildings should be clustered around common facilities. 3. Access/Circulatio, ,vv~_-. -- n. The access and circulation should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system for vehicles and pedestrians. points of access shall comply with city access regulations and shall not conflict with other planned or existing access points. Two points of access shall be provided for all but the smallest residential developments. The circulation system should be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine access where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Curvilinear streets are encouraged 5/99 17.08-43 Rancho Cucamon8a Development Code Section 17. 08.090 whenever possible. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be separated, to the extent · possible, through the use of a continuous system of interconnected public and private sidewalks. 4. Parkinq Areas. Parking areas should be designed to minimize visual disruption of the overall project design. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, glare, and increases in ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through sound walls, screening with fences or hedges, trees, and separation of parking spaces and driveways from residences. a. Site Desiqn. Openness, reduced structure mass, and convenience of use should be characteristics of parking area design as implemented by the following: (1) Parking areas (open and covered) shall be designed to provide parking spaces conveniently located to the units they are intended to serve. (2) Long, unbroken lines of opposing garages/carports on each side of a drive aisle should be avoided. This type of design results in a "constricted alley" atmosphere. (3) Free standing garages/carports should be located not to disrupt the primary view of residential structures. (4) Views to landscaped areas should be maintained at the ends of drive aisles. Vistas should not be obscured by facing garages or carports. (5) Planter breaks and special paving should be included along the parking aisles. These features add interesting patterns to the driveway/parkway area rhythm. (6) In order to open up more of the parking area to adjacent landscaped areas and reduce the "alley" effect along the drive aisle, offset facing garages/carports are encouraged on lengthy drive aisles. b. Architecture. Garage and carport structures should exhibit designs which are compatible, supportive, and fully integrated into the overall architectural theme as implemented through the following provisions: (1) Long structures present difficulties in keeping proportions appropriate with the original design intent on the main structures, and therefore, the garage/carport structures should be limited to 8-12 cars. (2) Recognize garage doors as an element of design rhythm and use to create varying patterns. Extensive use of single width garage doors should be avoided. The perception of increased density can result from a parking area with large numbers of garage doors. An overly repetitious pattern of doors can be monotonous and should be avoided. (3) "Flimsy," "stick-like" carpor~ designs which portray an add-on, non-permanent perception are not desirable characteristics of a parking area. Substantial 17.08-44 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.08. 090 dosiOn elements should be integrated into the structure to convoy a more permanent concept for the carports. (4) Within multiple space garage structures, each car space shall be separated with a solid wall except whore two or more spaces are dosiOnated to a sinOlo dwelling unit. For single gareOe units, the inside dimension shall be increased to a minimum of 10 foot x 20 feet for convenience of use. 5. Lanclseapinq/Opon Space. Landscaping and open spaces must be dosiOnod as an integral part of proloot design and enhance the building design, enhance public views and spaces, and provide buffers and transitions whore needed, with emphasis on complomonting gredin~ and soltoning slope banks. LandseapinO must provide for solar access and shade to facilitate erierOy conservation. Open space should be provided in concentrated areas large enough to provide opportunities for active uses by groups. The appropriate use of/andscape materials is an important element of successful development. Plant materials should be used extensively to reinforce community idenfity, create a pleasant and livable environment, control erosion, provide protection from wind and hot summer sun, and to tie new development into the surrounding context. The following guidelines are suggested: a. Include existing mature trees worthy of preservation in the landscape concept. b. Select plant materials for their suitability to the environment and compatibility with Xeriscape principles (i.e., water conservation). c. Select plants that are tolerant of local conditions (i. e., hot summers and seasonal high winds) and relatively free of pests and disease. General criteria for selection includes low maintenance, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, wind tolerance, and fast growing. d. Select plants of appropriate size at maturity for their intended use to minimize maintenance or replacement when the plant outgrows available space. e. A void plants that have messy fruit/seed/flower droppings or brittle branches near paving as they are a potential safety hazard and a long-term maintenance liability. f. Locate plant materials in response to architectural design and site planning. Plants can be used to denote entries, contrast with or reinforce building lines and volumes, and soften the hard lines or blank wall expanses of architecture. g. Group plants according to their watering needs. h. Use plants to define outdoor spaces such as street edge or outdoor eating areas or movement paths between parking and dwelling units. i. Simple plant palettes are preferred over complex schemes. j. Use deciduous trees on southern and western exposures to screen summer sun, yet permit winter light. 17.08-45 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090 k. Use evergreen trees to block seasonal high winds and decrease heat loss. I. Provide landscape adjacent to and within parking areas in order to shade parking and pavement areas and to minimize the expansive appearance of parking areas. m. Maintain adequate sight lines for motorists at intersections and driveways. n. Densely landscape to screen unattractive views and features, such as parking lots, storage areas, trash enclosures, freeway structures, utility equipment (i.e., transformers, meters, backflow valves), and air conditioning units. o. Trees should be planted to achieve a continuity of form. General guidelines for the use of landscaping to achieve this continuity include: · Using the same tree form (i.e., columnar or round headed) along streets of the same type to reinforce the hierarchy of street types. · Planting trees in similar patterns on streets of the same type. · Using the same species for the entire length of a street or throughout an entire area. · Landscape front yard on lots averaging 4,500 square feet or less. · Treat driveways with decorative hardscape. · Use low maintenance plant materials on corner side yards that will be privately maintained. 6. Fencinq/Screeninq. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safety purpose. Where they are needed, color, material, and variation of the vertical and horizontal planes are needed to blend with the site and building design. The use of any fencing or wails should be consistent with the overall design theme. Fencing should reflect qua~ty and be complimentary to the architectural style. Fencing materials should be selected for permanency. The following guidelines are suggested: a. Provide decorative perimeter fencing (i.e., masonry) at tract edges and along streets. b. Vary wall setbacks adjacent to major thoroughfares to increase visual interest. c. Retaining walls exposed to public view are to be decorative masonry. d. Wood fencing exposed to public view is to be treated with stain, paint, or water seal e. Slope fencing along side property lines may be wrought iron or black, plastic-coated chain link to maintain an open feeling and enhance views. 17.08-46 5/99 Rancho C~ment Code Section 17.08.09__Q0 f. Provide a minimum 5-foot setback between fencing on comer side yards and sidewalk. g. Return walls and corner side walls to be decorative and compatible with the architectural stile. If more than one stile of house design exists, then a simple wall design is preferred. 7. ~. Adequate on-site lighting should be provided to ensure a safe environment while at the same time not cause areas of intense tight or glare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design character. 8. Utilities and Ancillary Equipment. On-site utilities and equipment shall be located in ~nconspicuous areas away from pdblic view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. 9. Grading. Development should relate to the natural surroundings and minimize grading by following the natural contours as much as possible. Graded slopes should be rounded and contoured to blend with the existing terrain. Split-level pads, built-up foundations, stepped footings, etc., can be used in areas of moderate to steep gradient. Above all, grading shall be designed to complement the project's orientation, scale, height, design, and transitions with surrounding areas. proper grading techniques that are sensitive to natural conditions must be utilized for reasons of public safetY, maintenance, aesthetics, and envirenmental pmtection. The following guidelines are suggested. a. Minimize the am°unt °f site grading needed f°r devel°pment and utilitI c°nstructi°n through proper site planning. b. Grade land and landscape in w°rkable increments t° av°id exp°sing vast expanses of bared earth at any given time to minimize soil erosion. c. Development in the foothills should relate to the slope in order to preserve the integriti of the hillside and minimize disruption of natural ground form. Adapt all structures in such areas to natural ground form through the use of split pads, built- up foundations, stepped footings, stem walls, etc. d. In hillside areas, development to be designed to preserve open spaces, protect natural features, and offer views to residents. e. Roadway alignments and gradients to be designed and located to avoid excessive grading and to reflect the existing land forms. f. Round off and contour all graded slopes to blend in with the existing terrain and present a more natural appearance. g. Establish proper soil management techniques to reduce the adverse effects (i.e., erosion) of grading. h. Provide driveways with a maximum slope of 15 percent. 5/99 17.08-47 Section 17.08.090 ~ent Code i. Provide an 18-foot area in front of the garage that does not exceed 5 percent. j. Minimize slopes between lots to preserve privacy. Where slopes cannot be minimized, mitigate concerns through other means, i.e., landscaping, fencing, etc. Minimize disruption of existing natural features, such as trees and other significant k. vegetation, natural ground forms, rock outcroppings, water, and views. I. Undulate berms to screen parking areas. 10. Fire Safety. Development should be designed in accordance with Fire District r'~quirements for two points of safe and ready access. Areas designated as high fire hazard areas should minimize fuel buildup around residences through greenbelts or cultivated fuel breaks. 11. ~. The site plan should consider compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods through providing proper transition of density, particutarly on infill sites adjacent to lower densities. Comparable densities, open space buffer zones, increased setbacks, and architecturat compatibility are encouraged along common boundaries to provide proper transition of density. Ctustering units can provide large open space areas as a buffer. Trails_. The City of Rancho Cucamonga places significant emphasis on the development 12. ~f regional, community, and local feeder trails. The General Plan establishes a trail system to provide an interconnected network of trails linking to parks, shopping, and employment centers with residential areas. To this end, the following guidelines should be considered: a. All new developments are to be designed in accordance with the Master Plan of Trails and adopted trail standards. b. Maintain trails on natural surfaces (i.e., no grading) and locate along natural features whenever possible. c. Consider existing bicycling, pedestrian, and equestrian access and traditional travel routes through the properly, particularly routes to schools. d. Within the Equestrian/Rual Area, provide trail connections through easements in order to connect disconnected trails and for needed access to recreation activities. e. provide local feeder trails on the rear of residential lots for equestrian access and related equestrian service access within the Equestrian/Rural Area. f. provide a means of public access to regional trails within subdivisions. g. Within subdivisions, provide an internal loop trail system of local feeder trails. h. Plot houses to provide reasonable rear yard opportunity for the keeping of horses and other animals within the Equestrian/Rural Area. i. Provide a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area in the rear yard of all residential lots within the Equestrian/Rural Area. 5/99 17.08-48 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17. 08. 090 j. Grade access from the corral area to the trail with a maximum slope of 5:1 and a minimum width of 10 feet. 13. Street Design. Vary street pattern to reduce streetscape monotony. Curvil inear streets, cul-de-sacs, front yard landscaping, and single-loaded streets are encouraged to provide streetscape variety and visual interest, particularly in the Low-Medium District. 14. House Plottinq. Clustering houses around common space, zero lot line, reverse plotting, angling house to the street, and side entry garages may be permitted if they provide streetscape variety and visual interest, particularly in the Low-Medium District. 15. Multi-Family Development. Well thought-out site planning is crucial in the development of successful projects. In addition to other standards outlined in the Development Code, the following should be considered: a. Re/ate the location of site uses with adjoining properties to avoid possible conflicts and take advantage of mutual potentials. b. Consider sharing curb cuts with adjoining properties. c. Buildings which are skewed in relationship to each other can create a variety of view orientations and streetscape interests. d. provide adequate common open space, including recreational facilities, tot /ots, and large open lawn areas. e. Logical pedestrian connections between open spaces and dwelling units and to perimeter streets, enhance the quality of life, are safer, and lower maintenance costs. f. Create a logical circulation system which is readily understandable to the user. g. Treat drive aisles like the streetscape - curvilinear lanes and parkway trees. h. Screen parking areas from the street with mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and lowering the grade of parking areas below the street. i. Screen exterior trash areas, storage areas, utilities, etc. from view using elements compatible with architecture and landscaping. j. Strengthen project en~ry statements with expanded accent landscaping, decorative paving and special architectural features incorporated into perimeter walls or monument signs. k. Terminate entry statement at an interior focal point, such as unique architecture or /andscape elements, fountains, plazas, streams and/or waterfall elements, or /andscape treatments which take aesthetic advantage of variations in grade. /. Consider street setbacks on adjacent properties, yet vary setbacks whenever possible. m. Preserve existing healthy trees in p/ace and design as a major feature. 17.08-49 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.08. 090 n. Provide two means of ingress and egress, not including emergency only access. o, Orient buildings to focus on good views. p. Consider visitor parking beyond minimum code requirements. q. Distribute parking evenly throughout project. r. Avoid dead-end drive aisles over 150 feet in length. 16. Sinqle-Family Development. Placement of houses in single family subdivisions is an important element in creating a functional quality living environment. Single family residential development should promote an attractive streetscape through architectural and site planing design elements that create variety and interest. Housing tracts characterized by repetitious street scenes of nearly identical two-story houses built at the minimum setback lines are not desirable. Generally, it requires the use of a combination of design concept solutions to achieve the goal of creating varied, interesting, and attractive streetscapes. a. Avoid excessive repetition of single family homes with near identical floor plans and elevations. Vary floor plans and elevations as follows: Number of Single Minimum Number of Minimum Number of Family Dwellings Floor Plans * Elevations per Floor Plan ** 5-10 3 2 11-20 4 3 21 - 40 5 3 41 - 60 6 4 61 - 80 7 4 81 ~ 100 8 4 Over 100 I add'l for each 40 du's over 100 4 The following may be counted as additional floor plans: (1) Reverse footprints. (2) Altemateorientationof9Odegreesorgreater. (3) Alternate garage.orientation (i.e., side entq/ or detached). · * Reversefootprintsshallnotcountasadditionalelevations, Variationsinthefollowing design elements which create a significant difference in streetscape appearance shall count as additional elevations: (I) planswithdifferentarchitecturalstyles. (2) Plans with changes in massing and scale. (3) Plans with roof ridges running in different directions. (4) plans with significant changes in roof pitch apProPriate to the stYle. 17.08-50 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 08.090 b. Vary lot size and lot width in order to provide designers with opportunities to include ' significant variations in house orientations that balance fivable open space with mass. For example, a wider lot creates opportunity for greater separafion between homes and accommodates side entry garages. c. Substantially vary setback and footprint orientation. d. Design house size and mass in proportion to the lot size and lot dimensions. Houses which project a two-story volume straight up at the minimum setbacks on sinaft lots are inappropriate. e. Provide extra deep setbacks for two-story houses on comer lots. f. provide larger side yard setback (i.e., 10-12 feet minimum) on garage side of lot to a~ow vehicular access to the rear yard. g. Provide greater variation in front yard setback on larger lots (i.e., ~ acre or larger). h. Locate driveways as far as possible from intersections, Substantially vary front yard setbacks. j. Provide two means of ingress and egress, not including emergency only access. k. Orient buildings to focus on good views. I. Vary garage treatments such as detached and semi-detached, side and rear entries, etc. m. On flag lots, use 12-foot width for that portion of the driveway providing access to the garage to minimize concrete and maximize landscaping potential n. Pair garages to create larger front yards, greater separation between driveways, and create variety along the streetscape. o. Taper three- or four-car garage driveways down to a standard two-car width at street. Subdivision Design. The proper layout of a subdivision's circulation, drainage, and lot pattern is important to the success of the project. The following guidelines should be considered: a. Provide two means of ingress and egress. b. Use side-on cul-de-sacs, as opposed to standard cul-de-sacs, when adjacent to streets or pedestrian trails. c. Curvilinear streets are to be used whenever possible. Avoid a grid pattern. d. Maximum 800-foot straight section to avoid long, straight streets. 17.08-51 5/99 Rancho Cucamon a Develo ment Code Section 17. 08.090 e. Spacing for right-of-way widths, street sections, street radii, and intersections are to conform to the Street Design Policy available from the Engineering Division. f. Comer lots are to be wider than interior lots. g. Relate lots and streets to one another to create neighborhoods. h. Relate development to adjacent development relative to street design and lot pattem. i, A void long flag lots, key lots, and lots which side on to the rear of other lots. j. If the tract is bordered or surrounded by undeveloped land, prepare a conceptual subdivision plan for those properlies to indicate that logical circulation and drainage can occur. k. Avoid double-frontage lots on interior streets, I. Four-way intersections are generally preferred over offset "T" type on co~ector or larger streets. m. Avoid four-way, local-to-local intersections. n. Intersections, including knuckles, are to be perpendicular (radial on curves), o. The maximum length for cul-de-sacs is 600 feet for single-family and 300 feet for multi-family developments. p. Local streets are to be a minimum of 150 feet apart. q. Align intersections with existing streets or provide adequate spacing between intersections. r. Only use private streets where through traffic is not necessary and where the private street is gated. s. For private, gated entrances, provide adequate turn around space in front of the gate and a separate visitor lane with call box to avoid cars stacking into the public right-of-way. D. ~ 1. ~. A recognizable design theme shall be established which is compatible with surrounding planned or existing developments and should be based upon prominent design features in the immediate area (e.g., trees, landforms, historic landmarks). Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall character of the immediate neighborhood. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high quality and harmonious community appearance. 5/99 17.08-52 Rancho Cucamon a Develo ment Code Section 17.08.09___q0 Architecture. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, 2 ..... including harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line. Individual dwelling units should be distinguishable from one another and have separate entrances. Shadow patterns created by architectural elements such as overhangs, projection or recession of stories, balconies, reveals, and awnings contribute to a buHding's character while aiding in dimate control. Further, changes in the roof level or planes provide architectural interest. In particular, Low-Medium density and multi-familY residentia! ~ should be designed with upgraded architecture through increased delineation of su~ace treatment and architectural details. The architectural concept should also complement the grading and topography of the site. The City of Rancho Cucamonga seeks well thought out design solutions which reflect the best of a particular style, respect the community's heritage, and relate well to their surroundings. The following guidelines should be considered: a. provide architectural treatment to all elevations (i.e., 360-degree architecture). b. If the front of a house iS sided, then provide siding to the other sides of the house. including c. Consider compatibility with surrounding architectural character, harmonious building style, form, height, size, color, material, and roof line. d. Develop individual expressions within single buildings in harmony with the neighborhood. Refrain from architectural gimmicks that sacrifice the integrity of the streetscape to a single structure. e. Roof lines are critical to the visual impact of a home. Provide roof lines which respond to the general design of other roofs along the street. f. Vary roof massing and/or heights on larger buildings. g. Upgrade design treatment of carport structures to reflect the architectural design of the dwelling units. h. Enhance architectural elements exposed to public view. i. Vary roof designs along rear elevations of units backing up to perimeter streets to provide a pleasant and varied streetscape. j. Coordinate exterior building design on all elevations from building-to-building to achieve the same level of design quality. k. On small lot subdivisions, avoid diverse architectural styles. Keep the design statement, materials, and details consistent. The use of mixed, incompatible architectural styles is strongly discouraged. For example, a Cape Cod style is incompatible with a Spanish style. I. Choose colors consistent with the chosen design theme. Avoid "trendy" colors which become quickly outdated. Low-key and earth-tone colors work best for primary colors; use of more vibrant colors should be limited to accents. m. Provide lockable storage spaces for multiple family units. 5/99 17.08-53 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.08.090 n. Use Z-car garages with bonus room on some floor plans or off set the third car space to avoid garages which dominate the streetscape. For mulfi-family projects, garages should be architecturally designed to compliment the residences; consider varying the door treatment on multiple garage structures. o. One-story massing is preferred on comer side yards. p. Shadow patterns created by architectural elements such as overhangs, trellises, reveals and recesses, and awnings contribute to a building's character while aiding in climate control. r. Avoid identical or similar elevation schemes plotted on adjacent lots or across the street from one another. s. A void identical co/or schemes plotted on adjacent lots. t. Integrate screens for all roof-mounted equipment into the building design (i.e., extend parapet walls) rather than as an afterthought. u. Design roof line in conjunction with building mass for consistent composition. v. On hillsides, design the form, mass, and profile of buildings and architectural features so as to compliment the natural topography, w. Use native rock for fieldstone. Other forms of stone may be manufactured products. x. Design chimney stacks with accent materials used on the house, such as brick or stone, except on interior chimneys. 3. Scale. The mass and scale of the building should be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations, and surrounding developments. Setbacks and overall heights should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multiple family product type (i .e., apartment, condom inium, townhouse) is discouraged immediately adjacent to lower density single family areas. All attached projects adjacent to existing one-story single family developments shall be one story, unless the impact of two-story structures on the existing one-story neighborhood is fully mitigated with emphasis on privacy, views, and general compatibility. Buildings should emphasize horizontal as well as vertical appearance. This could be achieved by the use of projections or recessions of stories, balconies, windows and doors, and changes in roof levels and planes. In particular for multiple family product type, .buildings over three stories should consider stepping back. 4. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. The materials and colors chosen should complement the building character. 5. Siqninq, Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement, sign scale in relationship with building, and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. 17.08-54 5/99 6. Equipment Screeninq. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally compatible in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable. 17.08-55 5/99 CHAPTER 17.10 - COMMERCIAL/OFFICE DISTRICTS Section 17.10.010 - Purposes and General Plan Consistency ............. 17.10-1 Section 17.10.020 - Commercial Office Districts ....................... 17.10-1 Section 17.10.030 - Use Regulations ................................ 17.10-2 Section 17.10.040 - Site Development Criteria ......................... 17.10-12 Section 17.10.050 - Performance Standards .......................... 17.10-15 Section 17.10.060 - General Design Guidelines ........................ 17.10-17 Section 17.10.070 - Trip Reduction ................................. 17.10-26 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 10.010 & 17. 10.020 CHAPTER 17.10 Commercial/Office Districts Section 17.10.010 - Purposes and General Plan Consistency A.

The intent of the guidelines is to assist the designer in understanding and complying with the City's standards for building and site design. The guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plan and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets. The guidelines establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. 17.10-17 5/99 .Rancho Cucam~ment Code Section 17.10.060 B. Applicabilib/. The provisions of this section shall apply to all commercial and office districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any commercial or office district is subject to DevelopmentJDesign Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. C. Guideline_ s. These guidelines are under the two major categories of site plan design and building design. The structure and its relationship to other structures, uses, views, existing site condition, and pedestrian orientation, should be the dominant factors in the design and orientation of buildings. Architectural statements, while being strong, should not conflict from site to site or building to building. 1. ~ a. ExistiniSeCtonditions. Existing site conditions such as mature vegetation, slopes, drainage courses, rock outcroppings, and views should all be considered as possibilities for inclusion in the project. Use of valuable existing site elements will assist in formulating a focused design theme, as suggested below (1) Relate the location of site uses with adjoining properties to avoid possible conflicts and take advantage of mutual potentials. (2) Provide buffer where site adjoins residential development, i.e., increased setbacks, height limited to one-story, and dense landscaping. (3)Consider street setbacks on adjacent properties. While variety is generally desired, the street must function as a whole and the setbacks must relate. (4) preserve existing, mature streets as a focal point. b. Bui~Y~ Orientation. placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses and buildings. The setback from streets and adjacent properties is directly proportionate to the scale of the proposed building and those around it. Larger buildings will require more setback area for a balance of scale and for the protection of solar access to the proposed building and adjacent sites. Lastly, placement of the building should provide the most aesthetic public views. The following guidelines should also be considered: (1) Plot buildings to create plazas and logical pedestrian connections. (2) For multiple buildings, vary placement to avoid parking areas which dominate streetscape (3) Avoid "strip-c<;mmemial" appearance where buildings are plotted in a straight row with parking along entire street frontage. c. Access/Circulation. The access and circulation of a development should be designed to provid~ a safe and efficient system, both on and off the site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City's access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduces conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points of access shah not conflict with other planned or existing access points. pedestrian 5/99 17.10-18 j Rancho Cucamonf(a Development Code Section 17.10.060 walkways shall connect every building with public sidewalks. The following guidelines should also be considered: (1) Possible sharing access with adjoining properties. (2) Align access with existing driveways, intersections, or median openings. (3) Circulation system to address needs of both motorists and pedestrians. Avoid designs that create vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. (4) Provide two means of ingress and egress, not including emergency only access. (5) Avoid dead-end parking aisles. (6) Access points must conform to the City's access control policies and standards. (7) Maintain adequate sight lines for motorists at intersections and driveways. d. Parkinq Areas. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through a combination of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, lights and glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound walls, general location, use of well-designed lights, and landscaping throughout the parking lot. The following guidelines should also be considered: (1) Screen parking areas from public view with mounding, landscaping, low walls, grade differentials, and building orientation. (2) For parking areas, include one tree for every three parking stalls for shade. (3) Distribute parking evenly throughout. (4) Consider the types of users desired and park project accordingly rather than trying to maximize building floor area. e. Landscape/Open Space. Landscaping and open spaces should be designed as an integral part of the overall site plan design. Landscaping and open spaces should enhance the building design, public views, and spaces and provide for a balance of solar uses', screening, and buffers and transitions. Additionally, the landscape design should accent the overall design theme through the use of structures such as arbors or trellises, herdscape, and special paving. The following guidelines should also be considered: (1) Clearly delineate on-site pedestrian walkways with special pavement, landscaping, and lighting. (2) Create a strong entry statement with textured pavement at project entrances. 17.10-19 5/99 ' Rancho Cucamonga Developmen t Code Section 17. 10. 060 (3) For industrial projects, provide plazas where employees can rest and eat lunch, preferably away from public entrances to buildings, loading areas, or other high-traffic areas. Provide tables, benches, shade trees, or structures. (4) The appropriate use of plant materials is an important element of successful development. Plant materials should be used extensively to reinforce community identity, create a pleasant and livable environment, control erosion, provide protection from wind and hot summer sun, and to tie new development into the surrounding context. (5) Locate plants in response to architectural design and site planning. Plants can be used to denote entries, contrast with or reinforce building lines and volumes, and soften hard lines or blank wall expanses. (6) Select plants for their year-round interest, as well as their form, texture, and shape values. (7) Provide canopy shade trees in parking areas. (8) Use mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees along streetscape for year- round interest. (9) Twenty percent of industrial projects and thirty percent of commercial and office projects are to be 24-inch box size. (10) Preserve existing mature trees as a focal point (11) Onsouthemandwestemexposures, usedeciduoustreesforsummershade and winter sun. (12) Useevergreentreestoblockseasonalhighwinds, screenunsightlYfeatures, and decrease heat loss. (13) provide special landscaping treatment, such as intensitying the density (size and/or numbed of trees, accent trees, and special paving, at all project entries and building entrances. (14) Provide one tree for every three parking stalls within a parking lot. (15) Select plants of appropriate size at maturity for their intended use t° minimize maintenance or replacement when plant outgrows the available space. (16) Avoid plants that have messy fruit/seed/flower droPPings or briftle branches near pa ring as they are a potential safety hazard and long-term maintenance liability. (17) Use plants to define outdoor spaces such as street edge, outdoor plazas, or movement paths between parking and building entrances. (18) Simple plant palettes are preferred over comPlex schemes. (19) Provide dense landscaping to screen unattractive views and features, such as parking lots, loading and storage areas, trash enclosures, freeway 17.10-20 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 10.060 structures, utilityequipment(i.e., transformers, meters, backflow valves), and air conditioning units. XERISCAPE GUIDELINES · Select plant materials for their suitability to the environment and compatibility with Xeriscape principles. Use drought resistant plants. · Group plants according to their watering needs. · Minimize turf by using more ground cover or decorative harriscape. · See Xeriscape: A Guide To Water Conservation for further information. (20) Plant trees to achieve a continuity of form. General guidelines for the use of landscaping to achieve this continuity include: (a) Using the same tree form (i.e., columnar or round headed) along streets of the same type to reinforce the hierarchy of street types. (b) Planting trees in similar patterns on streets of the same type. (c) Using the same species for the entire length of a street or throughout an entire area. f. Fencinq/Screeninq. The use of any fencing or wails should be consistent with the overall design theme. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safety purpose. Where they are needed, color, material, and variation of the vertical/horizontal plane are needed to blend with the site and building design. Orient loading areas away from the street. Where it is necessary for leading areas to face the street, screen them with buildings, walls, and landscaping. g. Liqhtinq. On-site lights should provide a safe, functional, and aesthetic design. Enough lighting should be provided to ensure a safe environment while at the same time not cause areas of intense light or flare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design. h. Utilities and Ancillary Equipment. On-site utilities and equipment shall be located in inconspicuous areas, away from public view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. i. Transit Improvements. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, bus pullouts, and bus pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and City Planner in consultation with the local transit provider. j. Master Planninq. The intent of a Master Plan is to "plan ahead" and look beyond the limits of a particular property to solve circulation, drainage, and neighborhood compatibility problems. Through the Master Plan process, there is opportunity to provide for integrated development and coordinate the efforts of many proper~/ owners and discourage piecemeal development. Master plannmg of defined areas 17.10-21 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17. 10. 060 will avoid development in a manner which would prevent or preclude future developmentofsurroundinglandin thebestwaypossible. TheintentoftheMaster Plan process is not to cast future development patterns in stone; rather, it is an attempt to discover problems before they develop, to deal with issues while they can be solved, and to take advantage of opportunities while they exisL The following guidelines for Master Planning should be considered: (1) Base the area of a Master Plan on logical planning boundaries and site conditions, rather than being limited by individual parcel lines. (2) Encourage harmonious site plan relationships, such as the potential for shared access and reciprocal parking. (3) At minimum, a Master Plan must address conceptual building locations, overall circulation, points of ingress and egress, parking layout, and conceptual grading and drainage. Areas for common use, such as shared access or pedestrian plazas, must be identified. Master Plans may be required by the zoning of a property or where deemed necessary by the City Planner. (4) Provide a Statement of architectural intent and/or conceptual elevations which include style, various product types, form, bulk, height, orientation, and materials. (5) Future development may be allowed to vary from a Master Plan provided the proposed project is compatible with the intentof the Master Plan or develops an acceptable alternative Master Plan. (6) For larger master planned projects, develop a package of design guidelines to guide future individual buildings and maintain the integrity of the Master Plan concept 2. Buildinq Desiqn a. Desiqn Theme/Architecture. A recognizable design theme shall be established for each building. That theme shall be one which creates a harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line, as it relates to surrounding planned or existing development. Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall design of the immediate area. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant, but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high quality and harmoniouscommunityappearance. The following guidelines shall be considered. (1) The City of Rancho Cucamonga seeks well thought out design solutions which reflect the best of a particular style, respect the community's heritage, and relate well to their surroundings. (2) Provide architectural treatment to all elevations (i.e., 360-degree architecture). 17.10-22 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 10.060 Make medium- and high-rise buildings less imposing by physically stepping them back from the street level. (4) Design roar elevations to be visually attractive by providing articulation to the building plane and vertical variation of the roof line. (5) Avoid expanses of blank wall that aro devoid of any articulation or embellishment. (6) Integrate scroening for roof-mounted equipment into the building design (i.e., extend parapet walls) rather than having a "tacked-on" appearance. (7) For commercial projects, vary the roof through the use of vertical separations, varying roof structure, or by varying the parapet line or ridge line. (8) For commercial projects, give special attention to creating pedestrian scale and an inviting place for pedestrians to shop. (9) Provide interest and variation to storefront designs for shopping centera to complement the architectural style. Design elements to be considered include: providing offsets or bays, strong base material, varying storefront treatment, multi-pane windows, and varying the bulkhead treatment. (10) Provide focal points in the architectural theme to create strong entry statements and provide a sense of place. Towers, spirals, domes, massing, color, trellises, fountains, public art, and plazas are encouraged. (11) Provide shelter from seasonal high winds through building orientation, materials, and entrances, particularly east of Haven Avenue. (12) paint roll-up doors and service doors to blend-in with main building colors. (13.) Architectural style should have a timeless quality rather than trendy designs that quickly become "dated." (14.) Architectural details can introduce accent colors; however, avoid too many bright colors which overpower the building. (15) Fit buildings into their context, including architectural style, massing, and proportion. (16) Design to be sensitive to, but not necessarily mimic, adjoining historic structures. (17) Consider site amenities, such as walls, harriscape, street furniture, trash enclosures, lighting, and monument signs, as part of the total architectural package for the project. (18) Screen drive-thru lanes from public view by orienting the building and a combination of landscaping, berming, and low screen walls. (19) For shopping centers, vending machines and newspaper racks are to be recessed into the building facade. 17.10-23 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.10.060 (20) Completely screen long-term shopping cart storage. (21) Integrate signs into the architectural program. (22) Articulate building entrances to create a formal entry statement. (23) For industrial buildings, design the office portion as the architectural focus with the appearance of an office building in terms of detail and amount of glass. (24) For industrial buildings, provide two primary building materials, as required by Planning Commission Resolution No. 89-158, such as concrete, textured concrete, textured block, brick, granite, marble, and similar materials. b. Scale. The mass and scale of the building needs to be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations, and surrounding developments. No matter what the scale of a building, setbacks and overall height should provide an element of openness and human scale, Multi-story buildings should be set back toward the center of the site or be designed in a stepped style. c. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. They should blend well with the environment and not cause abrupt changes, d. Equipment Screeninq. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally integrated in terms of material, color, shape, and size, The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable. 3. Siqninq. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement; sign scale in relationship with building and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. The City of Rancho Cucamonga's goal is to promote a quality visual environment by allowing signs which are compatible with their surroundings and which effectively communicate their message. a. Combininq Siqns and Architecture (1) Integrate signs into the architectural scheme. Indeed, the building itself can serve as a large and impressive sign. To achieve this effect, however, the individual signs on the facade must reinforce the character of the building, not obscure it or detract from it. (2) Use signs as a means of business identification rather than as a form of advertising. (3) Simple messages, layout, and color scheme make signs easier to read. (4) Select co/ors and materials which complement the architecture, including monument signs. 17.10-24 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17. 10. 060 (5) Size of signs must be proportional to the scale of the building and their affixed surface. (6) Use waft sign placement to direct the customer to the business location. (7) Visually balance the sign area with the building mass and height rather than designing to the maximum standard. b. Office and Industrial (8) Consider the layout and shape of the architectural features of the building. Design elements such as window pa tterns (vertical and horizontal rectangles, arches, squares, etc.) will help determine the sign shape that will suit the building. (9) For industrial buildings, use a non-illuminated type of sign because they are typically not open at night, nor do they need to attract customers like a retailer. (10) Use individual letters rather.than canister type signs. c. Uniform Siqn Proqrams (11) provideaUniformSignPregramforshoppingcentersandofficeorindustrial complexes with multiple buildings to create a coordinated project theme of uniform design elements, such as color, lettering style, and placement. (12) Specify a consistent sign type and avoid mixing different sign types, such as canister signs with channelized letters. (13) Use a consistent size (i.e., maximum height and length) which is proportionate to the building. (14) For shopping centers, use an 18-inch maximum letter height. For buildings plotted at the street setback line, use a 12-inch maximum letter height. (15) Limit sign length to be no greater than 65 to 70 percent of the leased space width. (16) Major anchor tenants may have variation in sign letter style, color, and size (i.e., height, area, length). For further information regarding sign design, please refer to the Guide To Better Signs booklet available in the Planning Division. (17) For sign programs with a single lettering style, up to three colors may be used. Where lettering styles vary, use a single color to maintain a consistent theme. (18) Use a single letter style and color for small projects. 17.10-25 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 10.060 & 17. 10.070 (19) Select colors for day and night visibility. For example, certain shades of blue and green do not read well at night. (20) Loges (i.e., graphic symbols) may be used to retain corporate or trademark identity.

The provision of improvements within the industrial area should seek comprehensive solutions to service and facility needs, rather than approaching these needs on an ad hoc, case-by-case basis, thereby enabling the costs of these improvements to be spread over as broad a tax base as possible. 2. The phasing of development shall be coordinated with the development of public improvements. 3. When public transit and other related improvements occur within the industrial area, the opportunities for joint development with private development shall be considered to enable the public to recapture some reasonable portion of the development benefits thereby created. 4. Promote an efficient pattern of land use and encourage the use of energy efficient modes of transportation, the use of renewable energy resources such as solar energy, and the conservation of energy. 5. Provide a safe and healthy environment for workers including adequate levels of police and fire protection. 6. Promote the use of existing railroad lines and enhance opportunities for future rail services. 7. Require water conserving, irrigation techniques and landscape/hardscape designs for new development. 8. Develop a toxic and hazardous materials storage and waste program in cooperation with other responsible public agencies. D. Circulation and Access Policies Goal: In order to ensure the effectiveness and capacity of arterials, it will be necessary to establish and enforce rigid access control policies. These controls are currently in effect under the provisions of Planning Commission Resolution No. 78- 29. 17.30-2 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17. 30. O10 Objectives 1. Non access to all arterials shall be dedicated to the City wherever suitable alternative access may be developed from local or collector streets. 2. Where access must be granted to an arterial, said access shall be limited to one point for 300 feet of frontage or one point per parcel with less than 300 feet of frontage. It is the intent of the policy to establish a minimum 300-foot spacing between driveways 3. Combined access to arterials between adjacent properties shall be encouraged wherever possible to reduce the number of encroachments. 4. Access points shall, wherever possible, be located a minimum of 100 feet from the back of curb returns at intersections on 4-lane or wider highways. 5. Where otherwise compatible with this policy, access shall be located opposite existing or planned points on the opposite side of the street. 6. In addition to the controls outlined in Plannin9 Commission Resolution No. 78-29, several additional restrictions wilt be necessary. a. Median island breaks and left turn access should be limited to approximately 1/4-mile spacings on the following major divided arterials: Haven Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, 4th Street, and 6th Street. Table 17.30.010-D shows the recommended arterial median opening spacing which will provide adequate storage lengths for left turn banes, signal spacing, and provide adequate capacity. b. Signalized intersections should be spaced a minimum 1/4-mile apart to achieve adequate two-way progression. c. For safety and efficiency, side friction along major arterials should be minimized. Therefore, on-street parking should be eliminated, median obstructions should be minimized, and left-turn movements and access to driveways should be confined to designated locations. d. Along Haven and Milliken Avenues, additional access restrictions may be required because of traffic volume constraints. 17.30-3 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17.30.010 Table 17.30.010-D Locations of Median Left Turn Openings on Major Divided Roadways MAJOR STREET MEDIAN OPENING LOCATIONS Haven Avenue Foothill Boulevard, Civic Center Drive, Arrow Route, Jersey Boulevard, 7th Street, 6th Street, Trademark Street, 4th Street.

Local Street Policy - The required local street pattern should allow the maximum flexibility to each parcel owner or developer while having the least adverse im pact on arterial traffic flow. The circulation pattern developed for the industrial area, complies with this principle by recognizing the following: a. Streets should be provided along property lines where possible. b. Intersections with arterials should be limited to one per 1/4 mile wherever possible. c. Local streets should be p~anned to relieve traffic demand on arterials by providing parallel routes. d. The street pattern within a parcel should not be a part of this plan, except where necessary to meet the above criteria. 17.30-4 5/99 Rancho Cucamonaa Development Code Sections 17.30.020 Section 17.30.020 - Industrial Development Districts Use of the industrial lands is organized to provide a broad range of industrial development opportunities ranging from light-industrial type of accommodations to sites for heavy, rail-served industrial plants. Based on consideration of road and rail access, the relationship to surrounding non- industrial uses, City-wide plan policies and the parcelization pattern, land within the Industrial Districts is assigned to major land use categories: A. industrial Park B. General Industrial C. Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial D. Heavy Industrial/Rail-Served E. Mixed Use F. Open Space These districts have been created for implementation of the goals, objectives, and land use designations of the General Plan. A. Industrial Park. Land is reserved for industrial firms seeking an attractive and pleasant working environment. and a location which has prestige value. Approximately 1,095 acres have been allocated to this use. The Industrial Park designation permits light industrial uses, office and administration facilities, research and development laboratories, limited types of warehousing, as well as support businesses and commercial service uses. The Industrial Park areas are characterized by a high employment density. The development and design standards are developed to protect lands in this use group from development which is inappropriate because of either function, appearance, or environmental effects. B. General Industrial. The General Industrial District provides for the widest possible range of light and medium industrial type activity, including manufacturing, assembling. fabrication, wholessling, heavy commercial, and office uses; totaling approximately 2,161 acres. This land use category is appropriate as a buffer between non-industrial uses and heavy industrial uses. In these areas, the applicable development and design standards are less demanding than those of the industrial park areas, but safeguards are provided to ensure a pleasant well- functioning environment. The required land area per parcel is also less demanding than other industrial areas so as to accommodate smaller firms. C. Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial. Approximately 537 acres is reserved for minimum impact heavy industrial uses. The development standards are designed to provide for heavy industrial uses which will not significantly impact the surrounding area. Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial activities include manufacturing, compounding, processing, fabrication, warehousing, storage, and freight handling. Uses typical of this group include, but are not limited to, forge shops, steel milling facilities, plastic plants, steel fabrication, metal fabricating facilities, woodworking facilities, heavy machine shops, and chemical storage and distribution. Not permitted within the area are uses which require massive structures outside of buildings or unscreened open air storage of larger quantities of raw, semi-refined, or finished products. D. Heavy Industrial. Approximately 675 acres of land east of the I-15 Freeway is reserved for Heavy Industrial uses. The development standards are designed to provide for all Heavy Industrial uses. Heavy Industrial activities include manufacturing, compounding, processing, fabrication, warehousing, storage, and freight handling. Use characteristics of this group would include large structures to facilitate processing and open air storage of large amounts of raw 17.30-5 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17.30.030 or somi-refinod products. Usos within this area typically includo, but are not limitod to: vohieular assembly plants, power plants, concrete product manufacturers, and batch plants. E. Mixed Use. Approximately 227 acres of land west Of Milliken Avenue, between 4th Street and the Metrolink rail line, is reserved for mixed-use development. This land use category is characterized by various combinations of commercial, office, recreation, and industrial activities within an integrated development project. F. Open Space. Approximately 150 acres of land west of Milliken Avenue between 4th Street and the Metrolink rail line, is reserved for open space. This land use category is characterized by natural or man-made open space which creates an attractive and pleasant environment for surrounding businesses. Uses within this area typically include golf courses, outdoor recreation areas, and parks.

The purpose of standards within General Provisions is to establish minimum standards regulating specific details in the development of any project within the Industrial Districts. The standards set forth in this section shall apply either within the entire industrial area or where stated by the land use category. 1. Condition of Uses. All business and manufacturing operations shall be conducted within an enclosed building unless specifically permitted and adequately screened from public view pursuant to this Section. 2. Siqns. Signs shall be used for the purpose of identification and direction. The design of permitted signs shall be architecturally integrated with the building design. Submittal of preliminary design concepts during the development review process is encouraged. The design of signs including location, materials, colors, copy, size, and construction details are all set forth in the City Sign Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code). 3. Uniform Siqn Proqram. A coordinated Uniform Sign Program may be required for any development, including wall and monument signs, to encourage design compatibility. 4. Liqhtinq. Lighting shall be used for the purpose of providing illumination for the security and safety of on-site areas such as parking, loading, shipping and receiving, pathways, and working areas. The following standards shall apply in all areas. a. The design of light fixtures and their structural support shall be architecturally compatible with the surrounding buildings. Free-standing light standards shall not exceed 25 feet or the height of the shortest on-site building. b.Security lighting fixtures are not to project above the fascia or roof line of the building. c. All lighting is to be shielded to confine light spread within the site boundaries. Particular concern shall be for lighting adjacent to residential areas. 5. Equipment Screeninq. The purpose of Equipment Screening standards shall be to allow for the use of equipment while preserving the architectural character and integrity of the surrounding environment. Equipment is deemed to include exterior mechanical or electrical equipment, such as NC units, fans, ductwork, cyclone blowers, cranes, and storage tanks. The following standards shall apply according to land use category: a. All roof, wall, and ground mounted equipment shall be screened from all sides within all land use categories except Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial and Heavy Industrial. b. Wherever possible, all roof-, wall-, and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened on all sides within the Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial and heavy industrial categories. c. All screening shall be architecturally integrated with the building design and where possible a roof parapet wall shall be used to screen roof or wall mounted equipment. Where roof-mounted mechanical equipment and/or ductwork projects vertically more than 1 V2 feet above the roof or roof parapet, it shall be screened by an architecturally designed enclosure which exhibits a permanent nature with the building design and is detailed consistent with the building. Where roof-mounted 17.30-21 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 30. 040 use or combination of concrete or masonry walls, berming, and landscape materials. 9. Maintenance. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of all buildings, structures, yards, landscaping, signs, parking areas, and other improvements in a manner which does not detract from the appearance of the surrounding area.

Any damaged, dead, diseased, or decaying plant material shall be replaced within 30 days from the date of damage. B. Master Plan Requirements. 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. Master planning of defined areas will avoid development in a manner which would prevent or preclude future development of surrounding land on the same or adjoining parcels in the best way possible· It is not the intention of the master planning process to "cast future development patterns in stone." The intent is to recognize and solve problems before they occur and take advantage of opportunities while they exist. 1. A conceptual Master Plan shall be required for City Planner and/or Planning Commission review in conjunction with development proposals whenever necessary to assure integrated development, enhance harmonious and orderly development, mitigate site constraints on the same or adjoining parcels, and maximize land potential. 2. The area of Master Plans shall not be confined by individual lot lines, but determined by logical planning boundaries and site conditions as required by the City Planner. 3. At a minimum, 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. 4. 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. C. Minimum Parcel Size. The purpose of a Minimum Parcel Size is to establish minimum lot size standards which will provide for the development and use of land within the industrial area 17.30-24 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 30. 040 according to the land use category and development standard. The Minimum Parcel Size is determined by a land use category with the exception of portions of Subareas 6, 7, and 12. 1. Lot Size. The Minimum Parcel Size shall be set forth as follows: Minimum Parcel Land Use Category Size (Acres) a. Industrial Park 1 or 2 * b. General Industrial Y2 c. General Industrial Rail Served 1 d.

The purpose of Rail Service Standards is to provide for the use of Rail Service to those properties which adjoin existing or proposed lead or spur lines as indicated on the subarea maps. Uses with dependency on Rail Service shall be encouraged to locate on properties (except those in Subarea 6) which adjoin such lines. Those uses which are not dependent on rail service are discouraged from locating on properties adjacent to lead or spur lines. The following standards are required for all developments which adjoin lead and spur railroad lines. 1. Rail service standards are suggested guidelines for developing rail access. The railroad and the PUC may consider modification of track standards, therefore the project designer should consult with the railroad at the time of project design. a. Easement width for a Lead Line single rail track: 32 feeti and for a double rair track: 41 feet. 17.30-34 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30. 040 b. Rail Lead track and nearby street elevations shall approximate one another in height, c. The minimum radius of curvature for a track shall be 180 feet. d. Maximum permissible gradient along spur tracks shall be no greater than 11/=, 2%. e, Dock height shall be set between 4V2 to 5 feet above the top of rail of the spur track. f. At grade road crossings by railroads should be avoided wherever possible. Rail crossing and any spur construction must be approved by the rail road and the Public Utility Commission. g. Spur trackage is not permitted along any building frontage and must be confined to the side or rear portions of the buildings. 2. Lot division and building layouts for properties which adjoin existing or proposed lead and spur lines shall be done in a manner to ensure full potential of future rail access and use and should not preclude rail access to other properties adjacent to such rail lines, Subdivision which could reduce a property's ability to accommodate potential rail served developments may not be authorized. 3, Easements shall be provided for lead/spur lines as indicated on the subarea maps in conjunction with development proposals or lot subdivisions. 4. Building design shall include rail service features to ensure the potential use of available spur lines. Finish floor elevations and dock height door or "kick out" wall panels shall be provided in all properties abutting rail lines. 5. Within portions of Subareas 6 and 11, rail access is permitted under condition that adequate screening is provided for non-rail service areas. Refer to Subareas 6 and 11 for further detail. 6. The above-referenced rail service development standards may be amended or deleted on a site-by-site basis during the Development/Design Review process. The following must be determined by the Planning Commission in order to authorize any modification of the rail service standard: a. That installation of a lead or spur track cannot be accomplished due to physical constraints on or adjacent to the project site; and b. Other existing or potential rail service properties will not be negatively affected in their ability to accommodate rail serviS:e activity as a result of modifications to the standards. 17.30-35 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 30.040 LEAD TRACK DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS -" LEAD TRACK 16.0' t6.0' R: 603.805' 90 30' 00' ~.I / ; / t t4" "~PROPERTY LHI!

The purpose of Interim Use Standards is to establish minimum ' standards for setbacks, landscaping, screening, and parking which meet the intent of the industrial districts. Unless specifically modified through the Conditional Use Permit, all other development standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall apply, including, but not limited to, grading and drainage, and street improvements. The following standards shall apply in all industrial areas: 1. The minimum streetscape and parking setback requirement shall be contiguous with the ultimate right-of-way line, but in no case less than 10 feet. 2. There shall be no minimum landscape coverage requirements, except that which is necessary for screening purposes as determined by the City Planner. 3. All parking and storage areas shall be paved with slag, crushed aggregate, asphaltic concrete, or concrete. The location, number, and design of said parking shall be in accordance with code requirements. 4. All parking and storage areas, and other interim uses which require screening as determined by the City Plan ner, shall be screened from public view through a combination of landscaping and fencing. Fencing may include a 6 foot chain link fence with slats, masonry or concrete, wood, or decorative metal. Screening must be maintained in good condition at all times. 5. Landscaping required for screening purposes shall include 15-gallon trees and 5-gallon shrubs to provide a dense landscape buffer to afford maximum screening from the public view, satisfactory to the City Planner. G. Material Recovery Facility Standards. The purpose of Materials Recovery Facilities Standards is to establish minimum standards for screening, parking, noise, and litter control which meet the intent of the industrial area. Unless specifically modified through the Conditional Use Permit, all other development standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall apply, including but not limited to, grading, drainage, and street improvements. 1. All business operations shall be conducted within an enclosed building unless specifically permitted within the General Industrial and Heavy Industrial categories and adequately screened from public view pursuant to Section 17.30.040.A, General Provisions, for the industrial area; in particular, screening from the Ontario I-15 Freeway shall be required. 2. All facilities shall be maintained free of litter and vermin and any other undesirable material and shall be cleaned of loose debris on a daily basis. 3. The facilityshall meetthe parking requirements forwarehouse uses. In addition, stacking space shall be provided for six vehicles or the anticipated peak customer load, whichever is higher. If no drive-up facilities are available, then a minimum of six additional spaces for customer drop-off shall be provided. 4. Power-driven equipment, including aluminum foil and can compacting or bailing, necessary for efficient temporary storage and shipment of material shall be permitted. 17.30-37 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.050 H. Indoor Wholesale/Retail Commercial Criteria. To ensure that surrounding land uses are not negatively impacted, additional filing requirements shall include a Site Management Plan and a Traffic Impact Study as described below: 1. Site Manaqement Plan: Issues such as security and site maintenance shall be addressed by the applicant to ensure that adequate services are provided for clientele and surrounding land uses. Items to be addressed within the Site Manaqement Plan are: a. Trash collection and site maintenance b. Security and safety control measures c. Parking attendants and circulation directors d. Graffiti removal and building maintenance e. Personnel management 2. Traffic Impact Study: Because of the possible traffic intensity related to the uses, a Traffic Impact Study shall be submitted to the City Engineer addressing the following items: a. Trip generation b. Traffic volume distribution c. Access analysis d. Internal circulation e. Mitigation measures, if required by the analysis, shall be shown Section 17.30.050 - Performance Standards The purpose of Performance Standards is to establish Industrial Use Standard characteristics which allow the uses to operate consistent with the overall characteristics of the land use category. This section bases its determination on land use characteristics of each category. The intent of the Performance Standards is to provide for a healthy, safe, and pleasing environment in keeping with the nature and level of surrounding Industrial activity. The Performance Standards contained with Table 17.30.050, are applied on a subarea basis as follows: CLASS A-6, 7, 12, 16, 17 CLASS B -1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8,10,11,13,14 CLASS C - 9, 15 CLASS A Performance Standards are the most restrictive of the Performance Standards. It is utilized for the Industrial Park Category. CLASS B Performance Standards are employed for the General Industrial Categories. These standards are intended to provide for the broadest range of Industrial activity while assuring a basic level environmental protection. CLASS C Performance Standards provide for a level of industrial activity associated with the Heavy Industrial use while providing safeguards. 17.30-38 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.050 TABLE 17.30.050 INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS CLASS A CLASS B CLASS C CLASS A. it is the intent of the standards of CLASS B: It is the intent of the standards of CLASS C: It is the intent of the standards of this section this section to ensure a high quality working this section to provide for uses whose to make allowances for industrial uses whose associated environmentandavailablesitesforindusthal operational needs may produce noise, processes produce noise, particulate matter and air and business firms whose functional and vibration, patticulate matter and air contaminants, vibration, odor, humidity, heat, glare, or economic needs require protection from the contaminants, odors, or humidity, heat, and high-intensity which ~uld adversely aftoct the functional adverse affects of noise, odors, vibration, glare which cannot be mitigated sufficiently and economic viability of other uses.

Section 17.30.060 - General Design Guidelines A. Intent. The intent of the guidelines is to assist the designer in understanding and complying with the City's standards for building and site design. The guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plan and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets. The guidelines establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. The establishment of Urban Design Standards and Guidelines provides the City with the ability to ensure that all development in the industrial area has compatible architecture and enhanced design quality. The guidelines are general and through the Design Review process are intended to encourage the individual creativity of project designers as welt as provide for the needs of the individual owner and user. B. Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to all industrial districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any industrial district is subject to Development/Design Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. C. Guidelines. The structure and its relationship to other structures, uses, views, existing site condition, and availability of rail access (if applicable), should be the dominant factors in the design and orientation of buildings. Architectural statements, while being strong, should not conflict from site to site or building to building. This section deals with the physical appearance of the industrial area. While more specific urban design guidelines for each subarea are incorporated in Section 17.30.080, this section describes the overall, area-wide design concept addressing physical form and appearance, open space network, special features, and gateways. D. Physical Form and Appearance. The Industrial Districts have been divided into 18 subareas, each of which is designated with one of the six land use categories. The development standards specified for each of these subareas will distinguish them from each other by the types of uses permitted or conditionally permitted, parcel sizes, setback requirements, landscaping, performance requirements, vehicular and rail access, and parking provisions. The distinction of each subarea would serve as a mechanism to create and enhance the identity of each subarea. The Industrial Districts form a part of the community fabric by integration into an arterial roadway network which serves the entire City. The area's identity is further enhanced by the development of specially designed landscape themes at arterial roadway entry points into the industrial area. Each land use category is further distinguished by general architectural themes based upon the planned land use intensity. While the themes may vary, hiqh quality of desiqn is expected in 17.30-40 5/99 Rancho CucamonS:a Development Code Section 17.30.060 all land use categories of the Industrial Districts. There are six land use categories in the Industrial Districts: 1. Industrial Park Cateqory has been designated for five subareas. Primary uses in this category include custom light manufacturing, light wholesale storage and distribution, administrative and office, and professional services. This area is reserved for firms seeking attractive and pleasant working environments and a location which has prestige value. High quality architecture is required and site planning must emphasize a pedestrian oriented, campus-like setting with the greatest amount of landscaping. The development of prefab, all metal for sheathing of buildings is considered inappropriate for this category. The Industrial Park category is typically located adjacent to special boulevards (major thoroughfares) to enhance major gateways into the community and create a high quality image. In addition, the Industrial Park category is used as a transition from industrial to residential uses. 2. General Industrial Cateqory has been established for seven subareas. This category is intended to accommodate a wide range of light to medium manufacturing and wholesale, storage, distribution uses. Typically, administrative and office and professional services are not allowed to reduce potential land use conflicts. Design and technical standards are less demanding than the Industrial Park category, but safeguards are provided to ensure a pleasant, well functioning environment. The development of prefab, all metal for sheathing of buildings is considered inappropriate for this category. 3. Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial is designated for Subarea 9. This category provides for heavy manufacturing and wholesale, storage, distribution uses which do not have a significant aesthetic impact on the surrounding area. Not permitted in this area are massive outside structures such as cranes, or unsoreened storage of raw or finished products. Landscaping requirements in Subarea 9 along Arrow Route have been increased to create a smoother transition to adjoining industrial park and general industrial property. 4. Heavy Industrial Cateqory has been designated in Subarea 15. Permitted uses include Medium, Minimum Impact, and Heavy Industrial Manufacturing and each of the wholesale, storage, distribution uses. Design and technical standards in this category allow massive outdoor structures and open air storage in an unscreened manner. A high degree of rail usage may also be typical. 5. Mixed Use Cateqory has been designated in a portion of Subarea 18. This category is intended to encourage the mix of different, but compatible, land uses and activities within a single integrated development. Mixed use developments are ideally suited adjacent to high activity nodes along major transportation corridors, particularly adjacent to public transit facilities to establish a built-in ridership. Mixed use projects can incorporate awide range of commercial and industrial activities, including medium, light, and custom manufacturing; research and development; office; recreation; and commercial. 6. Open Space has been designated for a portion of Subarea 18. Permitted uses include golf courses, outdoor recreation areas, and parks. E. Special Emphasis Areas 1. Haven Avenue Overlay District is located on both sides of Haven Avenue from Foothilt Boulevard south to 4th Street. As the City develops, Haven Avenue will become a major 17.30-41 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.060 north-south travel route and has a potential for high-end office development with the unique combination of direct access to the Ontario Airport and Interstate 10 freeway. The standards in the Overlay District are designed to enhance Rancho Cucamonga's image by providing an intensive, high quality, and prestigious gateway into the community. A progressive, sophisticated, and urban style of development is required and special site planning and landscaping requirements are included to enhance the pedestrian environment and create a campus-like atmosphere. 2. Interstate 15 (Devore Freeway) runs north-south through the industrial area and borders seven subareas in each land use category except General Industrial/Rail Served. Since this area is directly south of the future regional mall and related commercial activities at 1-15 and Foothill Boulevard, and views along the freeway have a major impact on the image and identity of Rancho Cucamonga, highest consideration should be given to design aspects that affect a positive image of the community as viewed from the freeway. Special considerations are contained in the Development Standards of each subarea which abuts the 1-15 freeway. (An 1-15 Overlay District could provide special development criteria to eliminate unsightly views.) 3. Special Boulevards. The General Plan states that travel routes are predominant elements of the community's image and encourages the distinctiveness of individual districts and roadway corridors. In addition, the General Plan states that a consistent design theme is necessary to reinforce the image of perception of a route. Within the Industrial Districts, nine special boulevards are included. The following is a brief description of the primary function and identity for the most significant special boulevards including Foothill Boulevard, Haven Avenue, Milliken Avenue, Archibald Avenue, and 4th Street. a. Foothill Boulevard serves as the major east-west transportation corridor in the City. It also links the emerging area east of Haven Avenue including the planned communities and regional shopping mall with the existing commercial area to the east. Within the Industrial Districts (Subarea 7), new development along Foothill Boulevard must provide a transition to commercial and office facilities within the Terra Vista, Victoria, and Etiwanda Specific Plan areas, and shall comply with Section 17.32.060, Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement. Given the high visibility, office and commercial service type uses will predominate. Any light manufacturing or warehouse buildings will have to be designed to the highest quality and be compatible with commercial and residential environments on the north side of Foothill Boulevard. b. Archibald Avenue serves primarily as a support service function to the industrial area. A variety of industrial, commercial, and residential uses exist along major portions of the street. The major opportunity along Archibald Avenue is on the west side of the street south of 6th Street. New development in this area must be compatible with adjacent residential uses and provide an appropriate transition in terms of architecture, site planning, and landscaping. One story buildings in scale with the single family homes fronting on 6th Street, and pedestrian connections to residential should be provided. 17.30-42 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17. 30. 060 c. Millikon Avenue will function as a primary north-south arterial through the industrial area and connect the planned communities of Victoria and Tetra Vista south to Interstate 10. Unlike other special boulevards with adjoining subareas designated Industrial Park, Millikon Avenue cuts through six different subareas and four land use catogodos, including Minimum Impsot/Heavy Industrial. Traffi¢counts will be similar to Haven Avenue, but a greater mix of truck traffic is oxpoctad along with the potential of d liforent commuter traffic hours because of varying employee shifts in the area. Given this soiling, the functional and visual identity of Millikon Avenue will be influenced by a wide range of land uses. Building types may range from offices in multi-tenant industrial to largo scale distdbution and manufacturing. However, to assure aesthetic quality and design uniformity, all architectural elevations along Millikon Avenue should be enhanced with variation of building form and articulation of services. tn addition, outdoor storage, loading areas, and truck parking should not be visible from the street. d. 4th Street is the boundary between RancUe Cucamonga and the City of Ontario, east of Cueamonga Crook (Hellman Avenue). As such, a series of gateways are planned at major intersections along 4th Street (Archibald Avenue, Haven Avenue, Millikon Avenue, Interstate 15, and Etiwanda Avenue). A consistoat program of special landscape features and street monumentalion signs with the City's emblem is to be implemented. F. Landscape Desiqn. Landscaping serves as a major design component of the urban design image of the Industrial Districts. Through the variation of landscaping design and standards, distinction and identity of individual subareas and roadways can be achieved. To this end, the average depth of landscaping along street frontages and the percentage of net land area devoted to landscaping is varied. To distinguish special boulevards, landscaped median islands, meandering sidewalks, and street name monumentation signs are planned. Throughout the industrial area, these primary landscape design concepts should be followed: 1. Streetscape: Street trees of similar species establish a consistent design pattern within the parkway of each street; evergreen trees shall be used as a backdrop for deciduous, particularly where needed to screen unsightly views and enhance building elevations; shrub planting and berming provides the desired screening of the parking areas. 2. On-Site Landscapinq: Provides canopy trees for shading outdoor pedestrian areas and parking lots; breaks up lengthy building elevations along the side and rear properties with tree planting; use evergreen pines for wind protection and to screen undesirable views. 3. Special Accent Treatment: Includes the addition of special landscape design features such as color accents, specimen tree planting, decorative rockscape, and pavement details to provide visual enhancements to roadway intersections, driveway approaches, pedestrian walkways, and building entries. 4. Pedestrian Amenities: Provides for the inclusion of a pedestrian circulation system and accompanying plaza and patios as an integral part of a unified site design. Such a plan provides for the safe and orderly transition of vehicular and pedestrian traffic by means of clearly identifiable and attractive walkways. 5. Tree Size/Staking: Specimen size trees (24-inch box or larger) are encouraged to promote the early establishment of mature plantings. Severe wind conditions require all trees to be staked or guy wires used per City standards. 17.30-44 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.060 6. DrouqhtTolerance: Beeausoofthoeommunity'saridclimate, thousoofdroughttolorant plant material is strongly encouraged. Tuff should be limited to areas of major design emphasis with the use of rockscape/hardscape and groundcover to limit water consumption. 7. Irriqation: Water conserving irrigation techniques are required. Deep root watering systems for trees, particularly in tuff areas are encouraged. 8. Open Space Network: Elements that constitute open space include parks, outdoor recreation areas, Greeks and channels, transmission corridors, and stormwater retention areas. In addition, to the extent that they provide amenities, development setback areas, and street landscaping with associated pedestrian and bicycle paths, also compliment open space. Easements for creeks and channels and powerline corridors traverse the Industrial Area, linking them with the City's regions, and National Forest open space areas. Directly south of 4th Street between Cucamonga Creek and Hermosa Avenue is Guasti Regional Park, comprised of approximately 200 acres, to which both Cucamonga and Deer Creek Channels connect. While all of these linear open space components run north/south, the Plan proposes east/west connections of open space, incorporating the setback requirements along major arterials, as well as related buffer landscaping provisions along certain land use edges. The private open space areas, developed internally within the planned industrial projects, should connect with .the area-wide open space network wherever possible, to avoid fragmentation of open space to unify the area-wide appearance. G. Special Features. Special features refer to areas of visual, historic, and activity focal points within and near the Industrial Area. These features should be respected and development and redevelopment around them should compliment and enhance their scale and character. The coordinated improvements of the special features and the corridors along which they are located, should further help unify the overall appearance of the industrial area and the City. The old Cucamonga historic commercial center at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue and the location of Thomas Winery at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, are also of historic interest. A 42-acre Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sports Park featuring year-round sports activities, including the Rancho Cucamonga Stadium, is located on the west side of Rochester Avenue, south of Foothill Boulevard. A 150-acre public golf course stretches from 4th Street to the Metrolink tracks, west of Milliken Avenue. The course provides significant vistas from 6th Street. Also along Foothill Boulevard near its interchange at Interstate 15 is proposed a major regional shopping center (over one million square feet of floor space containing six department stores on approximately 100 acres of land). This would be a significant commercial activity center of regional impact. H. Gateways. Certain points of access to the City will, by use, become major entrances to the Industrial Area. A significant portion of the visitors' and users' impressions of the Industrial Area are influenced by conditions at these locations. Hence, it is imperative that special considerations be given to the development and design of these gateway areas. 17.30-45 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.060 As shown in Figure 17.30,060, gateway areas are identified along the major roadways that form the industrial area (and City) boundaries--4th Street, Foothill Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, and Arrow Route. The gateway of primary importance is located at the intersection of Haven Avenue and 4th Street. Other major gateways to the Industrial Area include Archibald Avenue at 4th Street, Milliken Avenue at 4th Street, Interstate 15 interchange at 4th Street, the proposed Interstate 15 interchange at 6th Street, and Interstate 15 interchange at Foothill Boulevard. I. Utilities. To enhance the beauty and character of the community, all new and existing utilities lines including electric distribution lines of 34.5KV and less shall be underground as a condition of development. J. Amhitecture. The purpose of Architecture and Design standards and guidelines, is to ensure that the built environment within the Industrial Area is compatible with the nature and use of each land use category. The goal is to ensure high quality and timeless building design, which includes building entry focal point, sufficient articulation to the building plane, and the creative use of building materials. The standards and guidelines are intended to result in a well designed environment which is safe and pleasing to work within. The standards and guidelines shall apply on an area wide basis and, where noted, within certain land use categories. 1. The design of buildings and site plans should be compatible with surrounding land use and architecture, and should recognize the climate, the physical setting, and the best architectural traditions of Southern California. Building orientation should include considerations of wind protection of site activities. 2. Desirable architecture shall project a high quality, progressive, sophisticated style of development. Variations in architectural style, construction methods and materials are encouraged. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. The degree of architectural treatment and embellishments must relate to the scale and mass of the building. 6, Accent treatment, such as changes in exterior materials and texture, is required. 7. 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: a. Primary building materials - concrete, sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, granite, marble, and similar materials as approved by the Design Review Committee. 17.30-46 5/99 Rancho Cucamon~ea Development Code Sections 17.30. 060 b. Secondary building materials - glass, tile, polished brass or copper, brick, concrete, painted metal elements, painted accent stripe, and other similar materials as approved by the Design Review Committee. 8. All exterior wall elevations of buildings and screen walls shall have architectural treatment. Articulation of elevation surfaces is encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns and provide variety to a building plane or surface. 9. At ground level, expanses of blank building walls shall be minimized with creative use of materials, textures, color, and/or building form. 10. Colors, materials, and finishes shall be coordinated in all exterior elevations of the buildings to achieve a total continuity of design. 11. Building materials, colors, and textures shall be compatible with those of adjacent or nearby buildings. 12. Metal Buildings. The use of prefab, all metal steel for sheathing of buildings is prohibited from the Industrial Park and General Industrial categories. This is not to preclude the use of metal detail within architecturally designed buildings such as "Cortin" steel. Where used, metal buildings shall be architecturally designed to be compatible with surrounding land use and architecture. 13. Hefqht and Bulk. The height and bulk of buildings shall not unduly block views and the solar access of adjacent and other nearby buildings. 14. Maximum building or structure height shall not exceed four stories or 75 feet whichever is greater, unless approved as a Conditional Use Permit. K. Site Planning. The purpose of Site Planning standards and guidelines is to ensure for a functional, safe, and visually pleasing environment for those who may pass through or work in the area. The following standards and guidelines shall apply throughout the industrial area. 1. Building placement shall be designed in such a way to create opportunities for plazas or other landscaped open spaces and encou rage defined and spaciously enclosed open space on the same site or adjoining sites. Building orientation should include consideration of wind protection for site activities. The City Planner may require a detailed wind analysis of designs in question of adequacy (in wind protection) as a part of development application. 2. The access and circulation of a development should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system, both on and off the site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points of access shall not conflict with other planned or existing access points. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, pullouts, and pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and City Planner, in consultation with the local transit provider. 17.30-47 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.30.060 3. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize vehicle noise, lights and glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound wails, general location, use of well designed lights, and landscaping throughout the parking lot. 4. Landscaping and open spaces should be designed as an integral part of the overall site plan design, and be designed to create visual interest and variety to the streetscape; enhance building architecture; screen utilities; and buffer views of automobiles, pavement and service areas; and define and distinguish the pedestrian environment from vehicular spaces. Consideration should be given to wind protection of building and site activities by the buffer planting of wind tolerant trees and shrubs. 5. Pedestrian Orientation. Colonnades or loggias and other covered walkways or structures that provide shade to pedestrian spaces shall be utilized whenever possible. Employee outdoor eating areas shall be provided as an integral part of site designs. 6. At street level, the use of building materials and building details that relate to human activity shall be required where appropriate. 7. Convenient pedestrian circulation shall be provided throughout all projects to connect public streets, parking areas and public transit facilities with buildings and pedestrian open spaces. 8. Open spaces shall be integrated with pedestrian walks and defined by landscaping and other elements to create a sense of place. 9. Where possible, open spaces shall be accessible to the public. 10. Street Furniture. Benches, light standards, kiosks, drinking fountains, trash receptacles, and other street furniture in on-site open spaces shall be designed in a coordinated fashion to enhance the appearance and function of the site and open space. 11. Pedestrian areas shall be highly visible and well lit. 17.30-48 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17. 30. 070 & 17. 30. 080 Section 17.30.070 - Trip Reduction A. A minimum of one shower facility accessible to both men and women shall be provided for persons walking or bicycling to work for each project which meets the following thresholds: Commercial 250,000 square feet Industrial 325,000 square feet Office 125,000 square feet Hotels and Motels 250 rooms B. Office Parks with 1000 or more employees shall provide on-site video conference facilities. C. Ride-sharing encompasses all forms of transportation that involve pre-arranged shared rides for travelers with similar origins, destinations, and travel schedules. Included are carpools, vanpools, and subscription bus (commuter club bus) services. The primary market for ride- sharing is the work commute trip, which makes ride-sharing a promising means to reduce traffic in the industrial area. Within Rancho Cucamonga, ride-sharing is facilitated and promoted by Commuter Computer. Results elsewhere have indicated that employer-sponsored programs can be most effective, particularly for larger employers. Actions that can be taken by employers include: 1. Distributing ride-sharing matching forms to all new employees and regularly to continuing employees; 2. Surveys of employees to determine interest in ride-sharing; 3. Designation of staff member to assist other employees in finding carpcol matches; 4. Advertising and promotions to generate interest and viability for the program; 5. Tailoring of work hours to facilitate ride-sharing; 6. Provisions of preferentially located or priced parking for carpeelers; 7. Leasing of vans, at cost, for employees who vanpool; 8. Provision of company fleet cars at nominal cost for commuting by carpeelers; 9. Subsidization of subscription bus services, particularly in the early period of formation; and 10. Modified work hours. Section 17.30.080 - Overlay Districts & Subarea Development Standards Th is Section provides development standards for the individual subareas of the Industrial Districts and for specific sections of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard (Subarea 7) which cross through the industrial area. Because of the City-wide significance of Haven Avenue as the major entry into the City, the Haven Overlay District provisions have been placed at the beginning of this part followed by those of the subareas. 17.30-49 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30. 080 The purpose of preparing subarea development standards is to identify the most prominent development standards applied within each of the 18 subareas in the Industrial Districts. For each subarea the following categories have been identified and discussed: 1. Land Use Designation 2. Primary Function 3. Permitted and Conditionally permitted uses 4. Access and Circulation 5. Special Considerations The list described above does not intend to cover every specific development requirement which may be utilized in developing within the industrial area, but does provide a quick overview of the major development considerations within each subarea. Any person interested in ,developing within the boundaries of the Industrial Districts should refer to this Chapter in its entirety for an in-depth discussion of all the development constraints, opportunities, and standards. Any special conditions which may provide exception or modification to development requirement are discussed within the "Special Consideration" topic of each subarea. 17.30-50 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30. 080 FIGURE 17.30.080 z HAVEN AVENUE OVERLAY DISTRICT Revised 4/1/92 Urban Center CIRCULATION / 120' R.O,W. aromaroB 100' R.O.W. 88' or leaa R.O.W, RAIL SERVICE ! ~ i ~ r Existing '~+~'- Proposed TRAILS/ROUTES aFAR o o o o Pedestrian · s · · Bicycle /'~"'F_~ Regional Utility Easement "~ Access Points 17.30-51 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 A. Haven Avenue Overlay District 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Overlay District is to establish development standards which address the unique setting and character of the Haven Avenue Corridor. The Haven Avenue Overlay District is located on both the east and west sides of Haven Avenue extending from Foothill Boulevard south to 4th Street, as shown in Figure 17.30.080. 2. Applicability. The Overlay District is to be applied in conjunction with Subareas 6 and 7 and provides more specific and/or restrictive development policies, design standards, and land use regulations for both Subareas. Topics not specifically covered by the Haven Avenue Overlay District will continue to be governed by the regulations of the Industrial Districts. Development adjacent to the Haven Avenue Overlay District shall consider compatibility and integration with the Overlay District through the Master Plan process. 3. Settinq. Haven Avenue is located near the geographic center of the City and will be the most significant gateway into Rancho Cucamonga. Another important aspect is the distinctiveness of the Haven Avenue Corridor in relation to other major arterials designated as "Special Boulevards." Haven Avenue is the major travel route for the City and has the potential for high-end office development with a unique combination of direct access to the airport and the Interstate 10 freeway. This provides the City a rare opportunity to enhance its image by encouraging intensive, high quality office and professional development along the Haven Avenue Corridor. 4. Relation to General Plan. The General Plan affirms that travel routes are predominate elements of the community's image and encourages the distinctiveness of individual districts and roadway corridors. In addition, the General Plan states that a consistent design theme is necessary to reinforce the image or perception of a route. The Haven Avenue Corridor and the Industrial Park category should be designed to project a "campus like image for firms seeking an attractive and pleasant working environment with high prestige value." a. Goal Statement. Goals are statements that define the community's aspiration and intentions. The goal for the Haven Avenue Corridor has evolved from sessions with the industrial and business communities and the City's elected and appointed officials. This goal represents the current conception of and future aspirations for the best interest of the City for the Haven Avenue Corridor. Encourage long-range master planned development along the Haven Avenue Corridor which enhances Rancho Cucamonga's image by providing an intensive, high quality gateway into the City and by promoting a distinctive, attractive, and pleasant office park atmosphere in a campus like setting with high prestige identity. 5. Land Use Types. The intent of the following policies is to encourage land uses and development consistent with the design goal for the Haven Avenue Corridor as an intensive, high quality gateway into the community. a. The primary land use function along Haven Avenue is intended to be of an administrative/professional and office nature. However, on the parcels directly adjacent to the railroad, the Planning Commission may consider additional uses permitted in Subarea 6, subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, and a finding that such a use will be consistent with the stated design goal for Haven Avenue and all other provisions of the Overlay District. b. Select ancillary research services, and commercial and business support service uses shall not exceed 20 percent of the floor area in any Master Planned 17.30-52 5/99 Rancho Cucamon8a Development Code Section 17.30.080 development. Concentration of such uses in any building or along the street frontage is not permitted. c. The following land use types are permitted or conditionally permitted within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. All other uses shall be prohibited. (1) Permitted Uses Administrative and Office Administrative Civic Services Business Supply Retail Sales & Services* Business Support Services* Communication Services Cultural Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate Services Flood Control/Utility Corridor Hotel/Motel Medical/Health Care Services Professional/Design Services Restaurants (2) Conditional Uses Convenience Sales and Services* Day Care Facility Entertainment Fast Food Sales* Personal Services* Public Assembly Public Safety and Utility Services Recreation Facilities Religious Assembly Restaurants with Bar or Entertainment Schools *Ancillary uses limited to 20 percent of the floor area per 5.b above. d. Fast food services are specifically excluded as a primary use. This would preclude the development of typical free standing fast food restaurants, most of which require drive-through facilities, in the Overlay District. However, fast food could be permitted as an ancillary or secondary use, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, as a part of a larger project, provided such use not be located directly adjacent to Haven Avenue. e. Accessory/Ancillary 0se Restrictions. The purpose of the section is to set maximum development provisions for accessory/ancillary uses which are not normally permitted in the Haven Overlay District. The following provisions shall apply in the Haven Overlay District: (1) The total of all accessory/ancillary uses not listed as permitted or conditionally permitted uses* are limited to 20 percent of the total building and business area. The ancillary commercial and business support service uses listed in Section 5.b may exceed the 20 percent business area limitation. 17.30-53 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30. 080 (2) Accessory/ancillary uses must be located within main buildings housing permitted principal uses. No outdooraccessory/ancillary uses are permitted. (3) No accessory/ancillary manufacturing uses are permitted in the Haven Overlay District. * Only uses defined and listed in Section 17.30.030.D.can be considered as accessory or ancillary uses. 6. Master Planned Development. The intent of this section is to provide for integrated development at the earliest possible time in the review process. Through the Master Plan process, there are opportunities to coordinate the efforts of single or multiple property owners and discourage piecemeal development. Finally, master planning of defined areas will avoid development of single parcels of land in a manner which would prevent or preclude future development of adjacent parcels in the best way feasible. It is not the intention of the master planning process to cast future development patterns in stone. Rather, it is an attempt to discover problems before they develop, to deal with issues while they can be solved, and to take advantage of opportunities while they exist. The standards and guidelines which follow am intended to apply to all projects and should not be constrained by parcel lines or specific site boundaries. a. A conceptual Master Plan shaft be submitted for Planning Commission approval, together with any development proposal, including subdivision or parcel map applications. Such Master Plan shall address relationships to other parcels within the Master Plan area. b. At minimum, Master Plans shall indicate conceptual building locations, overall circulation, points of ingress and egress to both public and private streets, parking lot layouts, conceptual grading and drainage, areas to be used for landscaping and plazas, pedestrian circulation, and common signing. Areas intended for common use, such as shared access, reciprocal parking, or pedestrian plazas shall also be identified. In addition, a statement of architectural intent and/or conceptual elevations shall be submitted to indicate how the architectural concepts including style, form, bulk, height, orientation, and materials relate to other buildings or projects within the planning area as well as to the overall design goal for Haven Avenue. c. The Master Plan boundaries indicated in Figure 17.30.080-A are logical planning boundaries based upon physical constraints and property ownership. These boundaries may be modified when it is determined that the Master Plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. The City Planner may require master planning of property outside the Overlay District, adjacent to a project proposal, where necessary to assure integrated development and promote the goal .of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. d. No Parcel Map or Subdivision Map shall be accepted or approved without concurrent submittal and approval of a Master Plan to assure integrated development consistent with the goal of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. e. Architecture within Master Planned development shall have a compatible design style with variation in the building style, form, and materials in accordance with the architectural standards of the Overlay District. f. Lot Size. Minimum parcel size shall be 2 acres with a minimum parcel depth of 225 feet within a Master Plan development. A 300-foot minimum lot width shall also be required, consistent with the access control policies. The Planning Commission 17.30-54 5/99 Rancho Cucamon8a Development Code Section 17.30.080 may waive these requirements when it is determined that the parcel is part of a Master Plan which is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Overlay District. All lots of record are allowed to develop according to the requirements of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. g. Access. Vehicular access onto Haven Avenue shall be discouraged wherever suitable alternative access may be developed from other streets as determined through the Master Plan process. If vehicular access onto Haven Avenue is granted, said access shall be shared with adjacent parcels. The minimum distance between drive approaches shall be 300 feet with 100 feet being the minimum distance between a drive approach and the curb return of any intersection along Haven Avenue. Also, reciprocal parking and access easements shall be required, where appropriate, with any development proposal. h. Public Transit Facilities shall be considered within all Master Plans. Convenient pedestrian access shall be provided to designated transit facilities, such as bus stops. i. On-site circulation for both pedestrians and vehicles shall consider existing or planned circulation patterns on adjacent properties. Connections shall be made where appropriate to foster more integrated development and enhance pedestrian movement. 7, Site Orientation. The following standards are intended to promote integrated, pedestrian oriented, office park development in a campus-like setting: Pedestrian Orientation a. Site ptanning, including building configuration and placement, must create opportunities for courtyards and plazas and other landscaped open spaces and promote safe and convenient pedestrian movement with continuous landscaped pathways between buildings, b. Parking areas and circulation aisles along the Haven Avenue street frontage are discouraged and may only be approved through the Master Plan process when it is determined appropriate and necessary to implement the design goal of the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Their visual impact shall be fully mitigated through dispersed parking areas and extensive landscaping and berming. c. Vehicular circulation around the roar and side portions of a site is encouraged. Circulation aisles which fragment or disrupt the connection of pedestrian spaces throughout a project shall be avoided to the extent possible. Parkinq d. The use of dispersed parking areas which provide convenient access to buildings without interrupting interior pedestriaq spaces is encouraged to reduce the need for large parking lots. Where large parking lots are necessary, they shall be located in areas less visible from Haven Avenue and their visual impact fully mitigated with building placement and extensive landscaping and berming. e. On-street parking along Haven Avenue shal~ be prohibited. 17.30-55 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sectfon 17.30.080 FIGURE 17.30.080-A Z FOOTHILL MASTER PLAN AREAS Revised 4/1/92 MASTER PLAN AREAS CIRCULATION / 120' R.0.W. ~,l 100' R.O.W, ~ 88' ot less R.O.W. 2Sth RAIL SERVICE ::::; Existing ~++~' Proposed TRAILS/ROUTES AT · IF Re O O O O Pedestrian · · · · Bicycle ~SI::~Fn Regional Multi-Use 7th Power Line/ Utility Easement ,,-,-"~, Creeks & Chartlids ~'J Bridge ") Access PollIts ~ 1park <~ FIre Station Acres 17.30-56 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30. 080 f. Building placement at or near the streetscape building setback is strongly encouraged within all developments, particularly on corner lots with high visibility. Multiple bui Iding placement shou Id provide variable streetscape setbacks to reduce streetscape monotony. Setbacks g. A 45-foot average landscape setback and a minimum 45-foot building setback shall be required along Haven Avenue, as measured from the ultimate face of curb, including existing lots of record and condominium lots or lots within a center when designed as an integral part of a Master Planned development. h. Ancillary service and loading areas shall be designed and located where least visible from public view and adjacent properties designated '"Industrial Park." i. All existing and new utilities, including electrical services less than 34.5 KV, within the project shall be installed underground. 8. Landscapinq Requirements. The intent of the following standards is to enhance the visual quality of the streetscape and provide an attractive and pleasant working environment in a campus-like setting. Minimum Landscape Coveraqe a. A minimum 25 percent of net lot area (excludes right-of-way dedications and private streets) shall be landscaped areas and pedestrian herdscape plazas and courtyards. b. The landscape/hardscape coverage requirement may be modified for individual parcels within master planned developments when it is determined that the master plan, as a whole, meets the required coverage and the project is consistent with the intent and purposes of the design goal for Haven Avenue. c. A maximum 5 percent credit toward the required landscape/hardscape coverage may be permitted where appropriate public art is to be displayed in a setting which enhances pedestrian spaces and building architecture. d. A consistent streetscape design theme shall be developed along the Haven Avenue streetscape which incorporates intensified landscaping with specimen size trees, alluvial rockscape, mounding, meandering sidewalks, and appropriate street furniture. Landscaping materials shall be selected which provide an historic link to the City's past, such as Eucalyptus windrows, citrus trees, and grape vines. In addition, a program of.street name monument signs shall be developed to include low profile, natural alluvial rock monument signs with individual letters formed in a sandblasted concrete face. Berminq e. Landscaping and berming shall be designed to create visual interest and variety to the streetscape; enhance building architecture; screen utilities; buffer views of automobiles, pavement, and service areas; and define and distinguish the pedestrian environment from vehicular Spaces. 17.30-57 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17. 30. 080 Water Conservation f. A combination of water-conserving landscape and irrigation techniques are required such as the use of drought tolerant plant species and bardscape (non- irrigated) surfaces, and special irrigation systems such as drip emitters, low volume stream rotors, deep watering of trees and shrubs, tonsiomotors to measure soil moisture, and automatic timers. g. Landscape materials shall be selected for their low maintenance, drought tolerance, and heat and wind tolerance. 9. Open Space and Podostdan Environment. The intent of this section is to promote the functional design and location of pedestrian spaces, and provide convenient pedestrian circulation on- and off-site and promote a campus-like setting. a. The development of a pedestrian node or focal point, such as a plaza or courtyard is required within all projects. b. The location of plazas and courtyards should encourage maximum pedestrian use and be separated and/or buffered from vehicular parking and circulation. Such locations may be near a prominent building entrance or along a centralized pedestrian path. Pedestrian Facilities c. Pedestrian plazas or courtyards shall be designed to create an attractive, comfortable, and functional setting with a "sense of place." A combination of the following design elements are encouraged, but are not limited to: pavement or surface texture; elevation/grade changes; use of landscape materials and structures to provide shade and define enclosed spaces; seating (e.g., benches, steps, or raised planters); and outdoor eating areas. In addition, the use of water features, covered walkways, kiosks and public art are encouraged. d. Trash receptacles, drinking fountains, light standards, and other street furniture shall be designed to enhance the appearance and function of open space areas. e. Convenient pedestrian circulation shall be provided throughout all projects to connect parking areas and public transit facilities with buildings and pedestrian open spaces. 10. Architecture. The following standards are intended to promote a high-quality office park image with high prestige identity. Urban Style a. Desirable architecture along Haven Avenue shall project a high-quality, progressive, sophisticated, and urban style of development. While the use of a variety of exterior materials may be permitted to achieve this image; Spanish, Mediterranean, or traditional architecture styles are not generally considered appropriate for office buildings. b. Variations in architectural styles, construction methods, and materials for certain ancillary uses, such as restaurants and banks, may be permitted where the architecture is exemplary and consistent with the high quality image required for 17.30-58 5/99 J Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30. 080 Haven Avenue and where a particular design is necessary and more appropriate considering the intended use of the building. Multiple Story c. Multiple story buildings of sufficient mass are encouraged if they reflect the scale and proportion of the Haven Avenue right-of-way and streetscape setbacks. Low linear buildings are discouraged. d. Building design elements that are considered inappropriate for an office park atmosphere include retail type storefront elevations (linear configurations, continuous ground floor glazing, multiple doorways), and numerous overhead roll- up doom which promote concentrations of ancillary commercial and business support services, and are therefore prohibited. e. Service and loading areas shall be screened from public view and adjoining properties, wherever possible, to reduce site design constraints on future adjacent development. The design of loading doors shall be consistent with office architectural design features. All building equipment must be housed within the building or below finished grade. All equipment screening must be architecturally integrated into the overall office building design. Architectural Variety f. Within the Overlay District, all building features must exhibit an office style architecture regardless of the type of accessory/ancillary uses or equipment contained within the building or on the site. Amhitectural planes shall have variation in depth and angle to create variety and interest in the basic form and silhouette of the building. g. Articulation of the elevation surfaces is encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns and provide variety in the building plane or surface. h. Building entrances shall be well articulated and project a formal entrance statement through variation of architectural planes, pavement su~ace treatment, and landscaped plazas. i. Accent treatment such as changes in exterior materials and texture is encouraged in conjunction with variation in the major form-giving elements of a structure. Siqns j. A coordinated Uniform Sign Program shall be required for any development, including wall and monument signs. Building wall signs shall consist of individual letters and canned signs are prohibited. The size, number, typical design, and location of the signs, as permitted by the City's Sign Ordinance, shall be submitted with the development application and be reviewed concurrently. 11. Urban Centers. The following standards are intended to promote the highest quality development and intensity to create community focal points or "urban centers" near the key intersections of 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard. a. The applicability of these urban center standards for specific parcels shall be determined through the Master Plan review process. 17.30-59 5/99 Rancho CucamonS, a Development Code Section 17.30. 080 b. Multiple story buildings shall be of the highest design quality, particularly at the ' immediate corners of 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard. Desirable structural components include steel and concrete in conjunction with curtain walls, spandrels, and glass. Wood frame structures are discouraged. c. A minimum 30 percent of net lot area (excludes right-of-way dedications and private streets) shall be landscaped areas and pedestrian hardscape plazas or courtyards. d. Special landscaping and streetscape design features shall be developed for the intersections at 4th Street and Foothill Boulevard to create an intensive and prestigious gateway entry into Rancho Cucamonga and the Haven Avenue Corridor. e. The use of parking structures is encouraged to promote intensified development and maximize the site area devoted to urban pedestrian plazas and courtyards. Parking structures shall be harmoniously designed with the main building and located around the rear or side portions of the site. f. The minimum parcel size shall be 5 acres unless waived by the Planning Commission when it is determined that the pamel is designed as an integral part of a master planned development consistent with the intent and purpose of the Overlay District. 17.30-60 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.080 FIGURE 17.30.080-B CtRCULAT~ON TRAILS/ROUTES ~ 120' R.O.W. 0 0 0 0 pedestrian ~mmm,' q Creeks & Chanaels mttmmmt ~oo' R.O.W. · ® ® ® mcycSe [ IBridge .o,o: ..:;.:~:~:.:.~,o,J;:~.o,~;..,.~.,,o. o,..,o,..,.. ,.,.,..... ,.., .,., .. 17.30-61 5/99 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 30. 080 B.

Tho long-tango plan for this subarea is to maintain its function primarily as a community sowing industrial area, consisting of light manufacturing, warehousing, and other General Industrial group uses. The subarea is located in the eastern portion of the industrial area, between Arrow Route and 8th Street and Baker and Vineyard Avenues. In addition, the subarea includes the narrow strip of land on the north side of 8th Street, west of Baker Avenue, to a point midway between G rove and Baker Avenues. Surrounded by residential uses to the north, east, and south, the subarea contains a few existing industrial uses, which occupy approximately 25 acres. The subarea is also traversed by Cucamonga Creek flood control channel. While the subarea is directly accessible to the rail and from Ontario International Airport via Vineyard Avenue, the uses that exist today are not particularly dependent on these transportation modes. 3.

Properties adjacent to residential areas shall have a minimum of 45 feet of building setback from the property line on interior lot lines abutting residential districts, and 45 feet from ultimate face of curbs on abutting streets abutting residential districts. The minimum front parking setback shall be 35 feet for such parcels. In areas which abut residential uses, screening of industrial buildings, parking, storage, and equipment areas is required through the use of walls, fences, and/or berms. The screening, in conjunction with the streetscape setback and landscaping will soften the edge of the industrial development and provide an attractive design element. Screen wall/fence height shall not exceed 3 feet inside the 40-foot parking setback. In areas abutting residential- uses, access via internal circulation in place of residential streets is encouraged, when feasible, in order to minimize impact upon existing residential, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation patterns. Although the right-of-way on 8th Street west of Vineyard Avenue is greater than 54 feet, the local street setbacks for buildings and parking shall apply. However, considering the shallow depth of property on the north side of 8th Street, the average depth of streetscape landscaping required shall be determined during the Technical/Design Review process. 17.30-63 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.080 FIGURE 17.30.080-C SUBARESA 2' Revised: 4/1/92 :Z 17.30-64 5/99 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30. 080 C. Subarea 2 1. Land Use Desiqnation. General Industrial 2. Primary Function. The long*range plan for this subarea is to strengthen its manufacturing and warehousing activities, complemented by rail access. Poaions of this subarea have lead/spur rail lines proposed to accommodate Rail Service needs of industrial uses. It is the City's policy to encourage the development of Rail Service facilities on parcels with strong rail development potential. Standards have been established as a part of this Section 17.30.040.F which require the Rail Service development of all parcels which adjoin existing or proposed lead/spur rail lines. This subarea is bounded on the north by Arrow Route, on the east by Hellman Avenue, on the south by 8th Street, and on the west by Vineyard Avenue. Of the 155 acres in the subarea, approximately 60 acres are occupied by existing industrial uses, most of which are served by rail. 3. Permitted and Conditionally permitted uses: Refer to Table 17.30.030. 4.

Special Considerations. Parcels which adjoin existing or proposed lead/spur lines as indicated on the subarea map are required to be developed in accordance with Rail Service Standards (Section 17.30.040.F). Properties adjacent to residential areas shall have a minimum of 45 feet of building setback from the properly line on interior lot lines abutting residential districts and 45 feet from ultimate face of curbs on streets abutting residential districts. The minimum front parking setback shall be 35 feet for such parcels. In areas which abut residential uses, screening of industrial buildings, parking, storage, and equipment areas is required through the use of walls, fences, and/or berms.

Subarea 16 1. Land Use Desifination. Industrial Park 2. Primar,/Function. This subarea serves as a transition zone from more intensive industrial or commercial activities to residential areas in the southwest corner of the City. As such, new development must be sensitive to the surroundings with appropriate architecture and site planning to mitigate potential conflicts. Land uses within the industrial area should be compatible with surrounding uses north of 6th Street and along Archibald Avenue to provide for use activities associated with airpoas such as tourist commercial. This subarea is located between 4th and 6th Streets, west of Archibald Avenue and contains property substantially undeveloped. It lies adjacent to a direct access to the Ontario International Airport and is located at a gateway to the City. To the west and north are single family residential neighborhoods. 3.

Special Considerations. Because this subarea is located adjacent to residential development, prop,erty owners within 500 feet of the subarea shall be notified at the time of any development considerations. A revised conceptual Master Plan (revises the Master Plan of Development Review File No. 82-16) which outlines access, circulation, drainage, and timing of improvements is requi red prior to approval of development plans. All new development must be consistent with this Master Plan or the appropriate revisions approved. Neighborhood Commercial uses (listed as "permitted" or "conditionally permitted" in Section 17.10.030) may only be considered within a 15-acre area at or near the southwest corner of Archibald Avenue and 6th Street subject to approval of a master plan for those uses with in a larger industrial park project. In the event of a conflict between whether a use is permitted or conditionally permitted, the Industrial Park requirement applies. It is not the intent to allow neighborhood commercial uses to be scattered throughout an industrial project nor to permit such uses within any existing complex designed solely for industrial uses. (Ord. 583, 8/97) Propedies adjacent to residential areas shall have a minimum of 45 feet of building setback from property line on interior lot lines abutting residential districts and 45 feet from ultimate face of curbs on streets abutting residential districts. Minimum front parking setback shall be 35 feet for such parcels. 17.30-115 Revised October 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.30.080 In areas which abut residential uses, screening of industrial buildings, parking, storage, and equipment areas is required through the use of walls, fences, and/or berms. The screening, in conjunction with the streetscape setback and landscaping, will soften the edge of the industrial development and provide an attractive design element. Screen wall/fence height shall not exceed 3 feet inside the 40-foot parking setback. In areas abutting residential uses, access via internal circulation in place of residential streets is encouraged, when feasible, in order to minimize impact upon existing residential, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation patterns. To preserve and enhance the image of the community, special consideration shall be given to the quality of site design, architecture, and landscaping of all properties adjacent to the I-15 Freeway. Attractive screening of outdoor work, loading, and storage areas and roof- and ground-mounted equipment from significant residential and public right-of-way freeway points of view shall be required. Building height limit shall be 25 feet within 100 feet of abutting residentially designated property. No loading doors or facilities may face, unobstructed, towards any residentially designated property. No outdoor activities/storage or mechanical equipment shall be located beyond the rear wall of any building that faces, unobstructed, towards any resider~tially designated property or public right-of-way. The remaining portion of Subarea 16 at the northwest corner of Arch ibald Avenue and 4th Street, created by adoption of Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 95-04, is authorized to have a 4th Street single property line frontage of less than 300 feet. No further reduction of the 4th Street property line is permitted, except for the acquisition of public right-of-way. 17.30-116 Revised December 1998 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.080 FIGURE 17.30.080-R .... pC~yER LIME/.

Properties adjacent to residential areas shall have a minimum of 45 feet building setback from property line on interior lot lines abutting residential districts and 45 feet from ultimate face of curbs on streets abutting residential districts. Minimum front parking setback shall be 35 feet for such parcels. In areas which abut residential uses, screening of industrial buildings, parking, storage, and equipment areas is required through the use of walls, fences, and/or betms. The screening, in conjunction with the streetscape setback and landscaping, will soften the edge of the industrial development and provide an attractive design element. Screen wall/fence height shall not exceed 3 feet inside the 40 foot parking setback. In areas abutting residential uses, access via internal circulation in place of residential streets is encouraged, when feasible, in order to minimize impact upon existing residential, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation patterns. The portion of Subarea 17 located on the east side of Center Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Church Street is unique because it is bounded on the north by a flood control basin and on the east by a flood control channel. The unusual shape of the area, as well as its proximity to residential areas, presents special site development constraints. In addition to those uses which are permitted or conditionally permitted within Subarea 17, Extensive Impact Utility Facilities may be permitted in this portion of Subarea 17, subject to a Conditiona{ Use Permit and the special site planning and design considerations as described above. 17.30-119 Revised December 1998 Rancho CucamonSa Developmen t Code Section 17. 30. 080 FIGURE 17.30.080-S SU A SA 8 ~;tRCULATION TRA~LS/ROUTES II Revised: 6/5/94 17.30-120 Revised December 1998 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Section 17.30.080 S.

A. Community Desion Goal: Create a community design image that expresses and enhances the unique character and identity of Rancho Cucamonga. Obiectives 1. Develop a streetscape system which reinforces the existing suburban parkways as vehicular areas and designates major street intersections as pedestrian activity center nodes, throughout the corridor. 2. Provide a system of vehicular gateway nodes which announce and identify entries into Rancho Cucamonga and achieve an overall positive identify for the area. Promote compatible building elevations which provide transition at pedestrian areas to higher elevations while protecting adjoining residential neighborhoods. 4. Promote contemporary landscape treatments throughout the corridor particularly those that are low maintenance, drought resistant, and able to withstand high winds and intense urban conditions. 5. Provide for the elimination of visually objectionable views such as outdoor storage and loading areas through the use of design guidelines. 17.32-1 Revised December ~ 998 Rancho CucamonS, a Develo~vment Code Section 17. 32. O10 Policies 1. Develop consistent streetsape and architectural palettes which are sensitive to creating a "heritage" statement for Foothill Boulevard. It is not the intent of this themetic overview to discourage innovative or contemporary architectural expressions, or to imitate the architecture of the past, but to promote the harmonious coexistence of architectural styles varying from restoration to contemporary architectural themes. 2. Require compliance with the community desion ouidelines in plans for new development, expansion or redevelopment. and make community design a major consideration in site plan review and approval. 3. Utilize landsceDe materials within the corridor which are clean. safe. wind resistant. and relatively low maintenance. Formal forms and configurations should be utilized at activity center nodes while less formal, suburban type configurations should be utilized throughout the parkway links in between. 4. Develop an incentive program which rewards private sector development for providing certain "extra" desion amenities within their developments. Of particular interest are solar-control devices such as building overhangs, awnings, and extra planrings in parking lot areas. Consideration should be given to special paving materials used in place of asphalt in vehicular areas. 5. Consider economic incentives for owners who wish to architecturally rehabilitate, refurbish, or upgrade landscaping on existing properties of significant cultural/historical heritage, but not expand. 6. Designate special landsceDe and architectural features at major intersection locations, combining themetic plantings with complementary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive themetic character for these activity center nodes. Changes in paving materials, plant materials, lighting, signing and siting of adjacent structures should occur at major intersections to enhance their distinctiveness. 7. Any buildings identified as architecturally significant such as the Thomas Brothers Winery or the Svcamore Inn should, where feasible and if necessary, be restored and integrated into adjacent development. 8. Require development which is sensitive tQ ~iqnifiCant natural landforms such as the hillside at the Sycamore Inn site (Red Hill). B. Land U~e/Economic Goal: Create a Development Code which is sensitive to community land use and fiscal needs. Obiectives 1.

PromOte distinctive, intense, commercial clusters which are sensitive to historical CharacteriStics at key activity center nodes, such as those at the western entry to the City (Archibald, at Vineyard Avenue, and easterly from the Devore Freeway intersection). 3. Require master Dlanninc~ at key sites within the Foothill Boulevard study area to assure integrated development utilizing coordinated access, parking, building orientation/locations, pedestrian and transit facilities. 4. Employ a Mixed-use Development Concept to reduce the number of larger vacant commercial properties, and encouraae infill development, while providing opportunities for residential development. 5. Ensure the gradual upgrading of under-utilized land uses functionin9 at less than their market potential. 6. Recon~gure elongated parcels and improve access to lots which are located in the easterly subareas of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. 7. Devise mechanisms for the physical upgrading of existing developments with recognized significant architectural and historic value. Policies 1. Establish regulations and provide incentive bonuses which Oremote oedestrian oriented plazas; and encourage intensive commercial uses at key activity nodes along Foothill Boulevard. 2. Prepare Development Regulations and Guidelines which simplify the development review process. 3. Establish regulations for mixed Use developments which assure proper land use mixture, minimum lot size, access restrictions, buffering, and master planning. 17.32-3 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga De velolvment Code Section 17. 32. OI 0 4. Preserve historic retail commercial uses (i.e., Thomas Brothers, Sycamore Inn). 5. Establish an incentive/bonus proofare of lot consolidation for small, shallow parcels along the corridor to encourage development into planned concentrations as opposed to a linear strip commercial configuration. 6. Allow nonconforming uses to continue as per current City policies and regulations. 7. Encourage the formation of new redeveloPmerit proaroma to assist retail and service businesses with property improvements. 8. Develop incentives to encouraoe soecialht commercial clusters at key activity center nodes. C. Circulation Goal: Develop a circulation system which facilitates efficient and safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic and enhances the community design character along Foothill Boulevard. Obiectives 1. Limit vehicular access points on Foothill Boulevard. 2. Develop a mixture of land uses which reduce home/work trips within ,the Corridor and the 3. Provide for and phase necessary street improvements to maximize the efficiency of traffic along Foothill Boulevard. 4. Minimize vehicular throuqh traffic On adiacent residential streets. 5. Encourage the use of local transit Droorams (shuttle bus) whenever possible. Policies 1. Provide pedestrian-oriented amenities and circulation features within key activity nodes by providing incentives to private development for pedestrian improvements. 2. Reduce inter-site vehicular trips onto Foothill Boulevard by requiring private developments to secure Reciprocal Access Aoreements prior to development. 3. Provide for transit facilities along Foothill Boulevard at convenient pedestrian locations. 4. Allow shared Darkino and access to facilitate efficient parcel usage and to minimize traffic support facilities such as drives, parking spaces, etc. 5. Discourage new commercial and residential developments from taking any access from local residential streets, by developing internal circulation systems which direct traffic away from surrounding residential neighborhoods. 6. Designate selected residential streets within the planning area as local streets, where conditions promote pedestrian movements over those of the automobile. 17.32--4 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 010 7. Promote the installation of a raised median within Foothill Boulevard in order to ensure efficient and safe future traffic operations along Foothill Boulevard. 8.

Environmental Goal: Maintain the highest possible quality of environment within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, by balancing2 the impacts of develooment with environmental concerns. Ohioolives 1. Locate precisely that portion of the Red Hill Fault, which lies within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and establish land use restrictions for areas adjacent to the fault. 2. Establish regulations which oresewe sicmi~eant environmental features, such as mature trees and windrows within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Policies 1. Limit development within the 100 year flood areas as shown on the latest City flood insurance rate maps or provide flood protection measures in accordance with City flood ordinance as approved by the City Engineer. 2. Appropriate drainage facilities shall be provided for specific developments as approved by the City Engineer. 3. Precisely map that portion of the Red Hill fault which traverses the planning area. 4. Based on projected traffic volumes, map future noise contours. and establish land use restrictions and/or noise attenuation conditions for areas within noise impacted areas. 5. Require maDDine of all sianiflcant on-site environmental features which are worthy or preservation. 17.32-5 Revised December f 998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 010 6. For development within the Red Hill Fault area, reauire a detailed oeotechnical study edor to project approval of City permits to determine the location, if present, of the fault, and any other limitations presented by geetechnical conditions. 7. Through the project approval process and the imposition of conditions or mitigation measures, ensure that all development within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor will not result in a decrease in environmental quality, and will wherever possible create a higher quality environment. 8. Require the enfomement of the existing City Tree Preservation Ordinance. 9. Encourage that developments within the area impacted by noise provide sufficient noise attenuation levels to maintain exterior and interior CNEL noise levels at acceptable levels as defined by the City Development Code (Section 17.02.120, Noise Abatement).

Cultural and Historical Goal: Identif,J and preserve all historical and cultural resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. Obiectives 1. Make cultural and historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor known and accessible to the general public, 2. Preservation and enhancement of existing cultural and historical resources, and the establishment of new land uses compatible with and complementary to these resources. Policies 1. Encouraae the development of superior desion which, in time, will add to the City's architecturally significantJhistorical resources. 2. Establish land uses which complement existina cultural and historical features. 3. Establish a sianaae system to direct the general public to cultural and historical features. 17.32--6 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 020 4. Develop a public information program to aid in the public awareness of cultural and historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. 5. Prior to City permit approval or the issuance of building permits, ensure that all existing cultural or historical resources worthy of oreservation have been retained, salvaged, relocated, or otherwise protected from destruction. 6. Cooperate with local historical societies and representatives of qualified archaeological organizations in the identification and management of identified and potential historical resources within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. 7. Require new Droiects to incorporate existing cultural and historical structures/facilities into their designs. Section 17.32.020 - Foothill Boulevard Districts The Foothill Boulevard Districts are based on the concept of dividing the corridor into four major subareas; ali of which should be punctuated by higher intensity urban activity centers. Subareas were determined by various environmental features; such as topography, recent development patterns, architecture, blight, physical form, and circulation mutes (Section 17.32.080 - Subarea Development Standards). The activity centers are designed as neighborhood/subarea focal points. For example Bear Gulch Village, which already contains a variety of quality sit-down oriented restaurant uses, provides an overriding "restaurant row" theme which is unique to its subarea. Other subareas within the corridor also contain concentrations of unique ]and uses which foster the potential to create and strengthen higher intensity activity centers. Specific land uses within the corridor also contribute to the diversity of Foothill Boulevard. The corridor contains a variety of land uses ranging from higher intensity commercial oriented uses; such as convenience, specialty, and regional related commercial designations, to residential uses. Other land uses include office, light industrial, and public oriented uses. Related to these land uses are their accompanying Subarea Development Standards (Section 17.32.080) which provide the necessary setbacks and landscaping to buffer the adjacent properties. The Foothill Boulevard Districts have been created for implementation of the goals, objectives, and land use designations of the General Plan. 17.32-7 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 020 A. Commercial. The Foothill Boulevard Corridor contains a variety of commercial facilities which are designed to promote diverse and unique shopping environments. The corridor contains a wide assemblage of commercial land use categories which range from tourist oriented specialty uses to regional associated commercial uses. In general, the commercial land uses range in size and character, based upon their respective relationship to location, type, and intensity of use. Commercial land use categories include: 1. Specialty Commercial (FB/SC~. Specialty Commercial Land Use Districts are designed to accommodate specialty uses, which promote a special la. ndmark quality or create a special ambience, which is unique to a particular subarea. For example, specialty uses such as farmers markets, cafes, bakeries, gift shops, and other specialty theme oriented uses located adjacent to the Thomas Brothers Winery, complement the existing winery structure and provide a unifiJing theme. Other specialty uses, such as the establishment of tourist odented specialty uses (sit-down restaurants, specialty shops), lend support to the establishment of a theme oriented activity center which caters to visitors. Other specialty commercial activity centers include the Archibald and Vineyard intersections, all of which include uses designed to enhance the character of these respective subareas. A limited number of office uses have been included into the specialty commercial category in order to facilitate an interactive office/commercial environment. 2. Communit~ Commercial (FB/CC). This land use district includes a wide variety of uses which typically include drug stores, supermarkets, apparel shops, variety stores, and commercial recreation uses. In general, Community Commercial Districts function to promote the establishment of neighborhood/district level commercial foods and services. Typically, large community commercial complexes are designed to accommodate the needs of more than one neighborhood or subarea and include one or more major tenants accompanied by a variety of multi-tenant uses. Smaller, stand alone community commercial facilities are also permitted within various CC districts, located on smaller existing parcels, designed to accommodate small satellite land uses. 3. Reaional Related Commercial (FB/RRC). The Regional Related Commercial land use category is primarily designed to accommodate large regional related commercial uses such as hotel/motel complexes, junior department stores, major appliance stores, commercial recreation uses, home improvement centers, major entertainment facilities, and other regional related commercial establishments. The intent of the Regional Related Commercial Distdct is to cater to a veritable mix of uses which are designed to: a. Promote day and night-time patronage; 17,32-8 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 020 b. Complement its regional location adjacent to the I-15 Freeway Corridor. c. Attract patrons from surrounding market areas. B. Residential. A variety of residential land uses are proposed within the corridor, with a predominance of these uses being located within higher intensity residential districts. Residential land uses range from low density residential (FB/LR) districts, accommodating 2--4 dwelling units per acre, to medium high residential (FB/MHR) districts, encompassing 14-24 dwelling units per acre. The residential land use districts within the corridor are designed to provide a population/trade base for adjacent Commercial Activity Centers; provide unique and distinct urban oriented residential environments; provide a variety of residential densities and housing product types; promote a mixed use development concept in specified locations which integrates urban oriented residential uses with commercial/office functions; and promote residential districts which are compatible with existing adjacent, residential neighborhoods. 1. Low Densit,/Residential (FB/LR). Low Density Residential land uses are characterized by a density of 24 dwelling units per acre of land and consist of residential product types which include single-family detached residential structures. 2. Low Medium Density Residential fFB/LMR). Low Medium Density Residential land uses are typically characterized by residential product types which include patio homes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplex units. This Land Use District, located near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue, is intended to provide higher intensity residential uses designed to complement it's Haven Avenue setting. Low Medium Density Residential uses will be designed to remain compatible with existing. surrounding Single-Family Residential land uses. Typically, Low Medium Density Residential land uses are characterized by a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre. 3. Medium Densit'/Residential fFB/MR~. Medium Density Residential Districts are designed to accommodate product types which are characterized by a density of 8-14 dwelling units per acre. In general, Medium Density uses are associated with attached townhome units with enclosed garages coupled with common recreational amenities. 4. Medium Hioh Densib/Residential {FB-MHR). Medium High Density Residential Districts consist of densities which range between 14-24 dwelling units per acre. Medium High Residential products are typically associated with attached apartments and condominium projects, designed to exhibit urban qualities including reduced building setbacks, harriscape elements and common open space amenities. C. OffiGe- There are three types of office land use categories located within the corridor designed to provide varying levels of office related services. These three Office Land Use Districts include: Office, Commercial/Office, and Mixed Use. 1. Office (FB/O~ Land Use District is intended to accommodate professional/administrative office and personnel services as opposed to other commercial oriented land uses. Typically, uses consist of executive, management, administrative, or clerical uses including the establishment of branch offices, data processing centers and the provision of consultation establishments of a professional nature. 17.32-9 Revised December 'I 998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32.030 2. Commercial/Office (FB/CO~ land uses consist of activities which cater to business support and personal services. Uses typically include medical and health care clinics, travel agencies, insurance agencies, copy centers, and other like land uses. 3. Mixed (FB/MU) activities consist primarily of a mix of Medium Density residential uses, coupled with the establishment of convenience oriented sales and services. Typically, uses include Medium Density residential land uses of 8-14 units per acre and neighborhood oriented community commercial uses such as retail sales from the premises of frequently needed personal items (i.e., dry cleaning establishments, specialty markets, video rental outlets, cafes, sit-down restaurants, book/magazine stores, hair stylists, etc.). Each Mixed-Use/Retail site shall provide a master plan illustrating land use, site planning, circulation, access, and overall architectural and landscape architectural design concepts (see Section 17.32.030 Use Regulations). D. Industrial (FB/LI). In general, the Industrial Land Use Distdct is characterized by Light Industrial (LI) land uses which typically include light manufacturing, custom manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, wholesaling coupled with limited office/administrative functions. E. Utility (FB/UL Quasi-Public land uses are typically associated with public activities. Quasi- Public land uses typically consist of civic functions such a public administrative office, public museums, libraries, and public meeting halls/neighborhood centers. Quasi-public activities are also associated with public utility administrative offices and utility functions. F. Public (FB/P}. Public land uses are typically associated with public transportation facilities and rights of way. 17.32-10 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 030 Section 17.32.030 - Use Regulations Uses listed in Table 17.32.030 shall be allowable in one or more of the Foothill Boulevard districts as indicated in the columns beneath each district subarea. Where indicated with the letter "P," the use shall be a permitted use in that district. Where indicated with the letter "C," the use shall be a conditional use subject to the Conditional Use Permit process. In the event there is difficulty in categorizing a given use in one of the districts. the procedure outlined in Section 17.02.040 shall be followed. A. Permitted Uses. Permitted uses are those land uses allowed in a given subarea subject to the development regulations of the Development Code. Conditional permitted uses, because of their unusual site development requirements or unique operating characteristics, are subject to the granting of a Conditional approval by the Planning Commission. B. Conditional Uses. Projects requiring a Conditional Use Permit shall be required to comply with the regulations of Section 17.04.030. In addition to the pL~blic hearing and notification requirements of Section 17.02.110, additional notification of all property owners within the Foothill Boulevard subarea in which the property under review is located is required. 17.32-11 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 030 Table 17.32.030 - Use Regularlone for Foothill Boulevard Districts SUMMARY TABLE OF PERMITTED (P) AND CONDITIONALLY PERMITrED (C) USES Subarea One Subarea Two Subarea Three Subarea Four ~ETAIL COMMERCIAL USES SC CC O MR P SC CC O MR MHR SC CC CO LMR MR U MU CC!RR MR t_lz O C Antique Shops p p p p p p p1 p p a) Boutiques P P p p p p p p p b) General P P P P p p p p Appliance Stores and Repair P P p p p Art, Music, Photographic Studios and Supply Stores p p p p p p p p p ~4 C Auto Service Station C C C C C C C C C Auto Service (including trailers. motorcycles, boats, campers): a) Sales (with ancillary repair facilities) P P P P C b) Rentals P P P p p p c) Minor Repair (does not include major engine work. p p p p p muffler shops, painting, body work, upholstery, etc.) d) Coin-op Washing C C C e) Automatic Washing C C C C f) Parts and Supplies P P P ' p p Bakeries (retail only) P P P P P P P P p p Barber and Beauty Shops P P P P P P P P P P P ~4 p Bed and Breakfast C C C C C C C O C Bicycle Shops p p p p p p p Blueprint and Photocopy p p p p p p p p p Services Book, Gift and Stationery Stores P P P P P P P P P P P P C other than adult related material) Candy and Confectioneries p p p p p p p p p Catering Establishments P P P P P P P P P China and Glassware Stores p p p p p p p >4 Christmas Tree/Pumpkin Sales Lots (operating on a temporary P P P P basis) Churches C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C Cleaning and Pressing P P P P P P P P P P P P C Establishments Refer to Subarea 4 Section 17.32.080.F.7.b.

This provision is intended to facilitate the development of large regionally related uses. Regionally related commereial uses are typified by large scale businesses which serve a marl<el area signiftcantty larger than those businesses which drew customere primarily from the neighborhood or community level. C. Land Use Definitions 1. Specialty Retail. This use is typified as small shops and boutiques which specialize in limited product lines of unique and novel designs and/or purposes. Specialty Retail is defined as follows: a. Any retail business not listed separately in Sections 17.32.080.A through D, which limits its sales to product lines of singular purpose or of unique and special design (i.e., cutlery shops, small household or personal appliances, kitchenware, novelty gifts, etc.). Service businesses are not specialty retail use. b. Limited to a business area of 3,000 square feet totally within an enclosed building. c. Office and administrative use is ancillary to the specialty retail uses and should not exceed 50 percent of the gross floor area in any integrated Specialty Commercial Center or a master planned development. Through the Conditional Use Permit process, the percentage of gross floor area for office and administrative use may exceed 50 percent subject to the Commission's findings that the development meets the intent of Specialty Retail, is a benefit to the community, and furthers the goals of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. 2. Mixed Use Public Storaae. Activities include the rental or lease of small-scale enclosed storage units or parking spaces when in combination with retail or office uses. Uses typically include self-storage facilities with caretakers residence and recreational vehicle storage. Storage shall be set back a minimum of 100 feet from Foothill Boulevard and screened from view. Does not include automotive fleet storage, rental car lots, or Overnight storage of service vehicles. 3. Restaurants with Entertainment and/or Servina of Alcoholic Beveraoes. This use is typified as a full service dining facility with major portions of the floor area and business operations being devoted to the on-site preparation and consumption of food. Entertainment activities should be limited to ancillary support functions which shall form a minor part of the floor area and business operation. The serving of alcoholic beverages shall be in conjunction with restaurant usage and the availability of full listed menu items. The sale and serving of alcoholic beverages shall cease when such menu items are not available to customers. D. Master Plans. The intent of a master plan is to provide for integrated development at the earliest possible time in the review process. Through the master plan, there is an opportunity to coordinate the efforts of single or multiple property owners and discourage piecemeal strip commercial development. The following criteria is intended to apply to all projects and should not be constrained to parcel lines or site boundaries. 1. A conceptual master plan may be required by the City Planner when it is evident that piecemeal development will prevent or produce future development of adjacent properties in a manner not consistent with the intent of this Chapter. 17.32-18 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 2. A conceptual master plan shall be submittea for the Planning Commission approval, together with any development proposals and shall address all other pamels as they relate to the master plan. 3. A conceptual master plan shall contain, as a minimum, the requirements as set forth in the Development Code Section 17.20.030. E Non-Conformina Uses & Structures. This section is intended to provide flexibility in the regulation of existing non-conforming uses and structures by establishing alternative standards for the improvement of such uses and structures within the Foothill Boulevard corridor. In addition, this section is intended to control the number and extent of non-conforming structures by prohibiting their being moved, altered, or enlarged in a manner that would be detrimental to the goals and objectives of this Chapter. All provisions of Section 17.02.130 for Non- conforming Uses and Structures shall apply to development within the Foothill Boulevard corridor except as provided in this Section. 1. Alterations and additions to Non-Conformina UseS: a. Existing non-conforming uses may be expanded by conditional use permit up to 50 percent of the size, but not to exceed 5,000 square feet, of the use when the use became non-conforming. The Planning Commission must find that such expansion is not detrimental to the goals and objectives of this Chapter in addition to the findings required in Section 17.02.130. b. Expansion of existing non-conforming uses must be accompanied by improvement of existing non-conforming features (parking, landscaping, etc. ) which significantly decreases the degree of non-conformity. In addition, facade upgrading in compliance with the design concepts of this Chapter is required as part of any use expansion. 2. Alterations and additions to Non-Conforming Structures. Existing non-conforming structures may be altered or reconstructed by conditional use permit if such alteration and reconstruction is found to promote the design policies of this Chapter or the historic goals and objectives of the City. Existing non-conforming setbacks and building heights may be retained, untoedified, as part of the conversions through design review approval. Structures declared by the City to be of historic significance may be remodeled under the provisions of the State Historic Building Code. Section 17.32.040 - Performance Standards The conduct and operation of all uses in the Foothill Boulevard Districts shall comply with the minimum standards of performance set forth in Section 17.08.080 for residential uses, or Section 17.10.050 for all office and commercial uses. 17.32-19 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 Section 17.32.050 - General Design Guidelines This section establishes parameters within which the community character for the entire Foothill Boulevard Corridor can be created. To do so, a number of issues and design concepts have been previously explored. However, at the core of all discussion and investigation has been the attempt to define community character in an accurate, comprehensive, and pragmatic manner. The Community Design Guidelines are primarily focused on the creation of aesthetic character. It's purpose is to create a visual environment that evokes a distinctive and unifying image which is unique to Rancho Cucamonga. To accomplish this task, the Foothill Boulevard corridor must first distinguish itself from other major thoroughfares in nearby communities; and second, it must serve as a visually unifying concourse that links the entire community of Rancho Cucamonga. Lastly, it is important to have a design statement for the Foothill Boulevard corridor with each contributing community design element skillfully orchestrated to promote a contiguous, cohesive, community design image. The provisions of this section shall apply to all Foothill Boulevard districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any Foothill Boulevard district is subject to DevelopmentJDesign Review pursuant to Chapter 17.06. The community design guidelines consists of the following components: (A) Image Enhancement Features, (B) Community Design Vocabulary, (C) Existing Community Design Features along the Foothill Corridor, and (D) Overall Community Design Concepts. More specific urban design guidelines are incorporated in the Subarea Development Standards, Section 17.32.080, which describes the overall area-wide design concepts and guidelines. In addition, the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement, Section 17.32.060, extends the design concepts of the Foothill Boulevard design theme through portions of the Terra Vista and Victoria Community Plans and the Industrial Districts. A. Image Enhancement FeatureS, Community image is related to the way people experience the City - ddving through it, observing its natural qualities and the character of it's buildings, walking through commercial areas, and visiting specific destinations. The best communities have the following memorable image enhancement features: 1. A dear sense of arrival through a distinct change in landscape, hardscape, built areas, or special entrance monumentation features. 2. A civic, commercial, or cultural public urban open space, which defines the activities, history, commerce, or natural/manmade features which the community as a whole values. Typical public urban open spaces consist of plazas, courtyards, urban paseos, market streets, historic landmarks, and public parks. A clear oroanization of streets, identifiable districts, and landmarks which gives people a sense of direction and orientation. The extent of confusion in traffic circulation, and the amount of congestion increasingly figures in people's perceptions of cities. 3. UniqUeness. This quality can be derived from a single feature, a district-wide theme reflecting ethnic or historical themes, or an event which is staged in a special place each year. 4. A sense of olace in a shared past, which gives people a sense of belonging. 17.32-20 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 B. Communit,/Desian Vocabulary. In an effort to provide a unique community image for the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, a variety of existing or proposed image enhancement elements will be provided or enhanced, designed to increase corridor identity, Vocabulary of these image giving elements include the following: 1. Activity Centers. Activity Centers are points of intersection at major streets or landmarks along the Foothill Boulevard corridor. As such, they are points of concentrated activity which give identity to individual subareas. Major Activity Centers located contiguous to the Foothill Boulevard corridor includethe areas surrounding the following intersections: a. Foothill at San Bernardino b. Foothill at Vineyard Avenue c. Foothill at Archibald Avenue d. Foothill at Hermosa Avenue e. Foothill at Etiwanda Avenue The injection of small doses of urbanity at these key activity centers is suggested method for creating a more interesting, formal and diverse impression of the Foothill Corridor. The Activity Center at Foothill and San Bernardino is a more rural, informal village design concept. 2. Suburban Parkway TranSitions. It is recognized that the Foothill Boulevard corridor will not become a totally pedestrian oriented environment. Therefore, the five pedestrian oriented activity centers listed above, will be linked together by "suburban parkway" transition areas, These parkway transition sections will consist of informal landscape treatments, dominated by drifts of London Planes, California Sycamore, and Purple Plum trees. Other parkway characteristics include rolling turf berms and meandering/undulating sidewalks, designed to complement informal landscape treatments. 3. Landmarks Specific elements of the environment that exhibit and promote an individual or unique identity include landmarks. Because landmarks are, by definition, unique and distinct, they are also few in number. Landmarks are typically associated with historic structures/features or prominent land forms which exhibit memorable qualities and project a strong identity or image. Landmarks located contiguous to the Foothill Boulevard Corridor include: a. The Sycamore Inn b. The Oso Bear Monument c, The remnants of the Cucamonga China Town d. The Thomas Brothers Winery 17.32-21 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 e. The Virginia Dare Winery f. The First U.S Post Office site in Cucamonga g. John and George Klusman Houses h. Mitchell House i. Mandala House j. Bell House k. Guidera House I. Sacred Heart m Aggazzotti Winery n. Sections of San Bernardino Road east S.P. bridge, north of Foothill Boulevard. 4. Gateways. Gateway elements are typically associated with prominent landforms, landscape features, structures, or entrance monumentation signs designed to announce entrance into a community or special districts. Currently, these gateway features are nonexistent within the planning area, which contribute to an overall tack of corridor definition or identity. Gateways are proposed for the intersections of Foothill Boulevard/Grove Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard/East Avenue. ,,, ,. ENTRY PORTAL INCLUDE SPECIAL HARDSCAPE AND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS'_, IN PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AS ! "~"~ 17.32-22 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 5. Views. View opportunities are found within every subarea and range from expansive vistas of distant mountains, to tightly framed views of landmarks, prominent natural landforms, or other special features located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard. The critical requirement is that view opportunities be recognized and enhanced, and that all proposed developments be designed to preserve and protect the desired view. C. Key Existina Community Features. In an effort to promote community design within the Foothill Boulevard Corridor, a variety of existing community design features have been identified. It is the intent of the community design plan to identity these elements in order that they may be preserved or enhanced. The following key community features are significant structures and are worthy of preservation/restoration and should be incorporated into any future development proposals for their respective sites. Key community design features related to the Foothill Boulevard are described below. 1. Thomas Brothers and Virainia Dare Wineries. These wineries will become one of the major theme-setting community character elements for the Foothill Boulevard corridor. All streetscape/landscape and architectural components shall be sensitive to and compatible with the overall winery theme of Rancho Cucamonga. Key visual elements, such as grape arbors and trellis elements, shall be consistently repeated along the corridor. Architectural variations which fully reflect the hedtage of Rancho Cucamonga shall be encouraged. The Thomas Brothers Winery, first established in 1839, is among the oldest in the state. The building reflects early California/Spanish architectural influences, characterized by such elements as stucco walls, board and batten siding, gable roofs, Spanish clay roof tiles, heavy weathered wood doors and entrance gates, and a vine covered grape arbor that extends the entire length of the west and south building elevations. 17.32-23 Revised December :~ 998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 Typical Winery Barn Gable Barn with Hip Shed Roof 2. - Foothill Archibald Inter~ection. This intersection is located at the center of the Foothill Boulevard corridor and holds potential for establishing a major, urban oriented, activity center. Development surrounding this intersection will promote pedestrian oriented retail services designed to serve the specialty needs of the community. Major redevelopment on all comers, excluding the Millers Outpost Center, will promote active commercial uses within a pedestrian dominated context. The opportunity of establishing a "commons" or public urban open space should be explored, designed to reinforce and promote pedestrian usage integrating such features as: a, 25 foot urban setback b. Pedestrian level architecture stepped to upper levels c. Format landscape arrangement d. Urban streetscape vocabulary e. Major urban design statement along Foothill f. Public plaza space 17.32-24 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 : L . . _., .,_ .7'5 .... · : ..... ~ FOOTHILL - ARCHIBALD INIERSEGTION 3. Sycamore Inn. The Sycamore Inn activity center is dominated by a quality sit-down restaurant, complemented by small specialty oriented restaurants, shops, and support offices. Originally established in the 1880's this large two-story structure was constructed as an inn/stage stop in the area community known as Bear Gulch. The architecture is characterized by chateau and craftsman details. The building is sheathed in vertical wood siding and has a moderately pitched gable roof with a native stone chimney. The building and site are enhanced by the presence of numerous mature California Sycamore trees. 4. Maoic Lamp Restaurant. The Magic Lamp Restaurant is located in an eclectic building which is characterized by brick walls, and a unique clay tiled hip roof. The roof of the structure is composed of a variety of roof tiles stacked in such a fashion as to provide a rich textured effect. The restaurant lies within the Bear Gulch activity area. 5. Eucalyptus Windrows. The remnants of a windrow are found on either side of Foothill Boulevard, east of the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge crossing which traverses the boulevard. The trees are mature and appear healthy, although are not maintained and set a distinctive open space character along Foothill Boulevard. 6. Notable Structures. The following community features are notable structures and at the property owners option, can be incorporated into a future development proposal. Any such proposal must be required to upgrade these structures to current City Development Standards (i.e., building/safety, land use circulation/access, landscaping) or may be relocated off-site. a. Old Route 66 GaS Station (9670). This former gas station, located near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue, is comprised of two separate buildings which include an office, gas pump canopy and a separate 17.32-25 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.32.050 garage building. The architecture is characterized by the use of white stucco parapet walls with small roof caps, and Spanish roof tiles. b. San Bernardino/Foothill (8291). This unusual building shows signs of streamline/art deco architecture. The building is characterized by two streamline overhead drive-under canopies that appear symmetrical and is also characterized by metal elevation panels, a flat roof, and a large sign column which is integrated into the building facade. c. Duane's Service (12912 Etiwanda}.

Overall Community Desian Concept. The overall Community Design Concept is comprised of a hierarchy of urban design components which range from the development of large ,subareas, to specifically located district activity centers. The intent of the Community Design Concept is to provide a broad-brushed overview of Oeneral design components which ultimately lead to the development of SPeCifiC design guidelines. The overall Community Design Concept consists of Subarea structure, Activity centers, Suburban parkways, Overall architectural concept, and Overall landscape architectural concept 1. Subarea Structure. In an attempt to provide individual district identity, the corridor has been segmented into four distinct subareas. Each subarea contains an activity center or focal point, such as a concentration of urban oriented specialty uses, which is intended to increase the "imageability" of each individual subarea. These separate subarea identities will promote a sense of place for the residents and visitors to the Foothill Boulevard corridor, and will ultimately enhance property values. 2. Activity Centers. Each subarea within the planning area is punctuated by an urban oriented activity center. Typically located at major intersections, these activity centers function to provide a district level focal point which ultimately increases district level density. The activity centers will be composed of urban oriented specialty commercial uses, designed in such a manner as to accommodate pedestrian oriented activities. Individual structures and large commercial shopping centers will be designed in such a manner as to promote an urban oriented "Rancho Winery Revival" theme complemented by higher intensity built forms. 3. ACtivity Center/InterSeCtiOn-Concept All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage as much as practicable. The 25 foot building setback areas will be enriched pedestrian zones, with special hardscape materials, formal landscape arrangements (see illustrative Sketch), and pedestrian-level lighting. Other streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks, and street furniture should assume a decidedly village oriented theme of earth-tone colors and warm materials such as stained wood, river rock, black wrought iron, and textured stucco. 17.32-27 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 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 will be less pedestrian, meaning less bardscape materials, plazas, and furniture and more turf, landscaping, and berms. The concept within the activity center area is to incorporate 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 propert,/line. The activity center/intersection concept urban streetscape design shall extend the full length ofthe design plan priority areas along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. At the cross streets, the design shall extend at least as far as the first driveway 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. 17.32-28 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 A.URBAN FORM Single story str~cture at sidewatk edge with two, possibly 3 story structures behind. At major intersections, buildings should be sidewalk adjacent, with awnings of structural overhangs for solar relief for pedestrians. Buildings not within intersections zones. B. HISTORICAL/ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING POTENTIAL General lack of a strong architectural "theme." Potential based upon historic nature of Foothill Blvd. Winery at Vineyard may add some "ranch elements" to architecture such as grape arbors or front porches. Older gas stations along Foothill built during the '40's & '50's also contain special architectura; elements and material context. C. DESIGN THEME POTENTrAL A specific design theme is considered a weak idea and a conjured theme is also a poor idea. An overall scale, form, I and materials palette is considered most appropriate.

Parkway Transitions. In order to provide a gradual transition from urban oriented parkways, "parkway transitions" have been introduced within the plan. Parkway transitions are designed to transition formal harriscape elements found within the urban activity zone into informal landscape statements which incorporate rolling tuff berms, meandering/undulating sidewalks; and informal tree ptantings. Specifically, the parkway transition is characterized by a 75 foot transition zone, dominated by Flowering Plum accent trees. See sketch, Private Development Setback Line Property Line PARKVVAY TRANSITION 6. Circulation System Concepts. a. Center Median Islands. In order to preserve the level of service on Foothill Boulevard, access to commercial properties should be via the median breaks at signalized intersections, with off-street, internal circulation to be provided to serve the properties between intersections. It will also be necessary to accept an increased number of U-turns at the remaining intersections to reduce the greater friction caused by more frequent median openings. Any median break on a street with such high volume must be signalized for safety and when signals are placed less than approximately 700 feet apart, the speed at which progressive traffic movement can be obtained falls below an acceptable level. East-west arterials in the City will have to be capable of two-way progressive traffic service for a large part of the day. 17.32-32 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32.050 For these reasons, no median break has been planned, for example, at Red Hill Country Club Ddve, San Diego Avenue, or Klusman Avenue. Klusman Avenue is only 520 feet from Malachite Avenue, an important future intersection, and is at a questionable distance of 670 feet from Archibald Avenue. The necessary left-turn lanes for median breaks eliminate median planting and when such breaks am close together, reducing the aesthetic value ofthe median and its visibility. This creates the possibility of traffic from driveways attempting to make left turns, not realizing a median exists. Prior to the construction of a median island across the intersection of Klusman Avenue, a preemption traffic control system approved by the City Engineer and the Fire Distdct shall be provided at the intersections of Archibald and San Bernardino Road/Foothill Boulevard to facilitate emergency access to eastbound Foothill Boulevard. Alternate median breaks and emergency access across the medians may be considered subject to a detail traffic safety analysis review and approval by the City Engineer. The following Median Location Maps depict the Center Median Program for the four subareas. A 14 foot center median shall be provided within Foothill Boulevard designed to provide access control and a unifiJing landscape statement. The median will feature accent tree planting (Crape Myrtles) at the median nose areas, underplanted with a low evergreen ground cover. The major evergreen tree (Rhus Lancea) will be underplanted with shrubs. See the median design island concepts on page 17.32-37. b. Access Control Proqram. Business contiguous to Foothill Boulevard currently realize no access restrictions. In addition, existing fragmented parcel configurations promote a multiple of conflicting access points which disrupt traffic flow by causing increased side friction. A recommended program of access controls, consistent with current city access policies regulating access point, driveway cuts, and their location from one another; including the provision of reciprocal access agreements, and special vehicular access controls, (such as right-in, and right-out islands) is necessary due to the following: (1) Increased vehicular traffic capacity; (2) Increased perception of safety; (3) Reduced vehicular traffic conflict points; and (4) Reduced vehicle/pedestrian conflict points. 17.32-33 Revised December f998 Foothill Blvd, ~ FOOTHIT,I, BOULEVARD MEDIAN LOCATION MAP San Bernardino Road / Foothill Blvd. LEGEND "1- < :; ~ pr~e¢l Boundar/ MEDIAN LOCATION MAP FOOTHILL BOULEVARD San Be, ' ~ ~ t ~ Pr~ Sounda~ Foothill Boulevard ~ ~ m ~llN~ar~atlhb ~ ~n~" ~[DIAN LOCATION ~AP (b PLMINING "" FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PlAN ~"~"' ._,...___ Project Boundary / LEGEND .~ ACCESS POINTS pLANNING ' FOOTHILL BOULEVARD ....

Red Hill Realionment. The existing skewed angle intersection of Red Hill Country Club Drive and Foothill Boulevard is in close proximib/to an existing traffic signal at Grove Avenue. The combination of this close intersection spacing and skewed alignment creates operational difficulties with traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard. A feasible realignment has been determined by an in-depth traffic engineering study. The proposed plan is to realign Red Hill Country Club Drive to approximately 400 feet east of its present intersection at Foothill Boulevard, provide a median break, and install a two phase traffic signal (no left turn arrows). The recommended alignment is shown on this page. (Res 89-205, 513189) RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT 17,3240 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 d. San Bernardino Road Alienment. San Bernardino Road currently merges with Foothill Boulevard at an acute angle which promotes vehicular conflicts with autos traveling east bound along Foothill Boulevard. In an effort to remedy this situation, San Bernardino Road will be realigned in order to form a "t" intersection with Foothill Boulevard. The "t" intersection will be aligned with the Sycamore Inn entrance ddveway and traffic signal. 17.32-41 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 e. Hellman-Klusman Block Cimulation Master Plan. A cimulation master plan in conjunction with a detailed traffic/circulation analysis shall be developed with any future development proposals for the entire block in order to determine the following issues: (1) Access to San Bernardino Road. It is the intent of this Specific Plan to discourage direct access and through non*residential traffic from Foothill or on site to San Bernardino Road. The ultimate circulation master plan must show the necessity for access to San Bernardino Road and the ultimate on site circulation configuration and improvements. (2) Access Points. The arrows depicting access points are shown in order to limit access onto Foothill and Klusman and are located at points opposite existing roadways or future traffic signals. (3) Interior Circulation. A suggested interior circulation pattern is illustrated by dashed lines. It is not the intent to require public streets but rather to show a conceptual alignment which may be in the form of pdvate drives/aisles and streets. 17.32--42 Re vised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 f. San Die{~o Avenue Abandonment. San Diego Avenue/San Bernardino Road was formerly used as a short cut around the Vineyard/Foothill intersection creating traffic impacts to the residents on the north side of San Bernardino Road. In an effort to remedy this situation, it is the intention of the Ciht to vacate San Diego Avenue and cul-de-sac the western extent of San Bemardino Road to secure access to the properties which currently abut San Diego Avenue and the abandonment will include access provisions to San Bemardino Road and Foothill Boulevard as part of any development plan at the following locations: (1) At the point where San Diego Avenue currently intersects Foothill Boulevard; and, (2) Northerly and southerly of the westem extent of San Bemardino Road where the proposed cul-de-sac would be constructed. The abandonment shall be a condition of any development proposal and an access easement shall be provided in the abandonment agreements. (Refer to the diagram below). 17.3243 Revised December 1 g98 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32.050 7. Amhitectural Concept. The overall amhitectural concept is characterized by architectural elements which complement Rancho Cucamonga's heritage. A diversity of architectural styles are allowed within the corridor, rather than one specific style, in an effort to promote a richness of amhitecturat character. While no specific architectural theme is required, "Rancho Cucamonga Heritage" architectural styles such as California Barn, winery, mission, agriculture character are encouraged. a. These design elements for all buildings within the study area are encouraged: ( 1 ) Richness of surface and texture; (2) Equal void-to-solid building wall ratios; (3) Multi-planed, pitched roofs; (4) Vegetation integrated with building walls; (5) Roof overhangs; (6) Plazas; (7) Regular or traditional window rhythms; (8) Arebed windows and doorways; (9) Subtle warm earthen tones or pale pastels;* (10) White and off-white;* and ( 11 ) Bright color trims. * · These color ranges are examples and are only encouraged to be utilized. __, Exposed Rafter Tails __ Multi Planed Hip Roof -- Tower Focal Accent -- Grape Arbor b. Discouraged architectural elements include: (1) Highly reflective surfaces (steel); (2) Large blank walls; (3) Flat roofs; (4) Split face block (5) Exposed concrete block; (6) Reflective glass; (7) Metal siding; (8) Plastic siding; and (9) Irregular, modernistic window shapes and rhythms. 17.32-44 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32.050 c. General Materials Palette. There are six categodes of amhitecturel and landscape architectural elements that will formulate the basis for new development design for the corridor. When these elements are incorporated into contemporary development designs, the effect will retain individuality while retaining certain common design elements. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS ELEMENT 1: Sloping roof (shallow to moderate) Material: Clay barrel tile Colors:* Red to brown ELEMENT 2: Walls Material: Stucco (rough textured) Colors:* White, off-white, beige "fiat" finish; pate pastel colors Material: Wood Horizontal clapboard or board and batten used in horizontal planes Colors:* Dark brown - light brown ELEMENT 3: Accents Material: Tile Colors:* Glazed or unglazed terra cotta ELEMENT 4: Awning Material: Treated canvas (plastic laminated) Colors:* Dark green; reds/blues ELEMENT 5: Pavement Material: Interlocking pavers, and concrete Colors:* Integral color terra cotta ELEMENT 6: Fences/gates Material: Wrought iron Colors:* Painted black, reddish brown, or dark green These color ranges are examples and are only encouraged to be utilized. 17.32-45 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 Stucco Board & Brick RIver Rock W'alla Batten GENERAL MATERIALS PALETTE 8. Landscaoe Architectural Concept. The Landscape Concept for the Foothill Boulevard corridor proposes the use of a specific palette of trees in designated areas, designated to reinforce both urban and suburban architectural features. The activity centers will distinguish from suburban parkway areas to the use of formal urban oriented tree plantings except as noted in Bear Gulch. These formal tree plantings will border all activity centers and will define these areas as being higher intensity urban oriented districts. Informal plantings will provide a casual backdrop to suburban parkway areas which lie between activity nodes (see graphic). The informal plantings will be located between activity centers in order to relate to these lower intensity suburban transition areas. In addition, the overall landscape concept shall incorporate a mixture of landscape and hardscape features using native materials a. All sign casements, poles, street furniture, light standards and similar hardware within 10 feet of the public right-of-way, shall be painted a color chosen as the Foothill Corridor Theme Color; sign faces may vary and match the related architecture. 17.3246 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 b. Establish a colorful landscape edge at the base of buildings and avoid asphalt edges at the base of structures as much as possible. Plant materials located in containers are appropriate. c. Landscaping should result in a low profile image, i.e., use of blade grass lawn areas, (i.e., including water conservation practices/methods and drought tolerant plant materials) canopy trees in parking areas, use of hedges, and low walls to screen service areas. d. Internal pedestrian systems, linking office complexes with neighboring commercial or office developments, should be located close to buildings and be partially covered. e. Add large (15 gallon to 24" box) canopy trees to existing landscapes consistent with City standards. f. On-site plant masses should assume a non-uniform arrangement. The diversity of massing types should be great enough to provide interest, but kept to a level which evokes a relaxed, natural, feeling. g Water conserving irrigation systems and landscape materials shall be used in all public and private landscaping. 9. Site Plan Desjan. a. Existing Site Conditions. Existing site conditions such as mature vegetation, slopes, drainage courses, rock outcroppings and views should all be considered as possibilities for inclusion in the project. Use of valuable existing site elements will assist in formulating a focused design theme. b. Buildino Orientation. Placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses and buildings. The setback from streets and adjacent properties is directly proportionate to the scale of the proposed building and those around it. Larger buildings will require more setback area for a balance of scale and for the protection of solar access to the proposed building and adjacent sites. Lastly, placement ofthe building should provide the most aesthetic public views. (1) Orient/screen all auto related facilities (i.e., working bays, storage, etc.) from public view. (2) Buildings shall orient their public entrances toward Foothill Boulevard as much as possible. c. Access/Circulation. The access and circulation of a development should be designed to provide a safe and efficient system, both on and off the site. Points of access shall be designed in conformance with the City access regulations. The circulation system shall be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties, combine circulation and access areas where possible, and provide adequate maneuvering areas. Points 17.32-47 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 of access shall not conflict with other planned or existing access points. Pedestrian walkways shall connect every building with public sidewalks. LANDSCAPING: Randomly within 45' setback. VEHICULAR OPERATIONS: Three lanes in each direction with center required by the City'a Traffic SIDEWALKS &PAVING: The Sidewalk meanders within the 45' setback ultimate curb location will permit a . (curb to building face) meandering sidewalk between curb and building face. Paving should be d. Parking Areas. Parking areas should not be the dominant element in the overall design of a project and should be designed to minimize visual disruption. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls, and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, lights and glare, and ambient air temperature. This can be accomplished through the use of sound walls, general location, use of welt designed lights, and landscaping throughout the parking lot. Utilize the concept of "tuck under" parking where it is not visible from Foothill Boulevard or from any other side street. (1) Whenever possible, locate site entries on side streets in order to minimize pedestdanNehicular conflicts. When this is not possible, design the Foothill Boulevard site entry with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers to differentiate it from sidewalks. (2) Parking access points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, should be located as far as possible from street intersections. (3) Design parking' areas so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving cars. Minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles. (4) Driveways and parking areas should be separated from adjacent sidewalks or landscaped areas by a curb not less than four inches high. (5) All parking spaces shall be clearly outlined on the surface of the parking facility. 17.32-48 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 (6) In activity center locations, locate parking areas to the rear of buildings. (7) Link individual project parking areas with on-site driveways which are clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors. (8) New development projects shall delineate on all submittal plans where vehicular connection to adjacent sites are located. The applicant must also demonstrate provisions for access easement for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with an approved master plan. (9) As a condition of approval, the applicant may be required to combine parking facilities and access to serve more than one individual project. (10) Vehicular circulation through a parking facility should be directed away from the fire lane (adjacent to the rears of stores), to the outer edge of the parking lot where there is less pedestrian traffic. (11) Within suburban parkways, parking areas should be designed in a manner which links the building to the street sidewalk system, as an extension of the pedestrian environment. This can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced paving, trellis structures, and/or landscape treatments. e. Landscape/Open Space. Landscaping and open spaces should be designed as an integral part of the overall site plan design. Landscaping and open spaces should enhance the building design, enhance public views and spaces, provide buffers and transitions, provide for a balance of solar uses, and provide screening. Additionally, the landscape design should accent the overall design theme through the use of structures such as arbors or trellises, hardscape, and special paving. Bi- level landscape buffers shall be provided between different land uses designed to provide transition between high and low intensity land uses. The first buffering "level" consists of an 8 foot high concrete block wall. The second "level" is dominated by a dense 15 foot landscape buffer. 45' height limit (in excess of 100' from residential district) 25' height limit (if located within f00' of single family ~ residential district) = .-. 26' circulation aisle 19' parking stall ~5' dense 30' building setback (min.)~ BI-LEVEL BUFFER 17.32-49 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section i Z 32. 050 f. Fencinq/Screening. The use of any fencing or walls should be consistent with the overall design theme. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safety purpose. Where they are needed, color, material, and variation of the vertical/horizontal plane are needed to blend with the site and building design. g. Liahtina. On-site lights should provide a safe, functional, and aesthetic design. Enough lighting should be provided to ensure a safe environment while at the same time not cause areas of intense light or glare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design. h. Utilities and Ancillary EauiDment. On-site utilities and equipment shall be located in inconspicuous areas, away from public view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. i. Transit ImprovementS. Transit improvements such as bus shelters, bus pullouts, and bus pads shall be provided if determined necessary by the City Engineer and the City Planner in consultation with the local transit provider. j. Activity Centers. At activity centers place building at or adjacent to front setback line to create more appealing, active streetscape. Front yard areas with parking lots dominating the street scene are specifically prohibited. Connect meandering walks 'to street fronting building entries rn o O LL Parking lot at corner is undesirable - building should dominate street scene Curb adjacent walk ties to !corner plaza plaza parking Enriched cross walk paving BUILDING LOCATION 17.32-50 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32.050 k. Suburban Parkways. Along the suburban parkways it is encouraged to place buildings on the 45 foot front setback line and avoid large sections of parking lot frontages at the setback line. 10. Buildino Desian a. Desiqn Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established for each building. That theme shall be one which creates a harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line, as it relates to surrounding planned or existing development. Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall design of the immediate area. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high quality and harmonious community appearance. Design buildings to be visually connected in order to eliminate a strip commercial appearance. b. Scale. The mass and scale of the building needs to be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations, and surrounding developments. No matter what the scale of a building, setbacks and overall height should provide an element of openness and human scale. Multi-story buildings should be set back toward the center of the site or be designed in a stepped style. c. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures, and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of design. They should blend well with the environment and not cause abrupt changes. d. ViSibilit,/. In situations where buildings are highly visible from side streets and/or adjacent parking areas, blank walls shall be prohibited and special emphasis placed on creating architectural interest. e. Sianino. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement; sign scale in relationship with building and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material, and placement. (1) A sign should express an easy to read, direct message: keep it simple. Brand names of merchandise shall not be displayed. (2) A storefront should not have more than two signs o one primary and one secondary. The secondary sign, shall be pedestrian in scale and not visible from motorists on Foothill Boulevard. (3) Signs may identih/only the firm name or major enterprise on the premises on which the sign is located. Material and product advertising shall not be permitted except as primary identification of an establishment. Additional identifying logas of products may be incorporated within the signing but are considered part of the overall allowed sign area. (4) Temporary signs am regulated by the City of Rancho Cucarnonga Sign Ordinance. 17.32-51 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 (5) Pedestrian-oriented signs may be applied directly to the face of the building and may not exceed city sign area requirements. The shape of the sign can be a positive feature. (6)No signs shall extend higher than the ridgeline of the structure. (7) Window signs should not obscure the display area. The color of the letters should contrast with the display background. Light colored letters or gold leafed letters with dark borders are effective. (8) All buildings using rear parking lots shall clearly identiht their businesses with rear wall signage. All structures shall exhibit clear address information on the front facade; (recommended guideline: minimum address number size shall be 6 inches for a one- story building and 10 inches for a two-story building). For night identification, the numbers shall be internally or externally lit. Otherwise all signing shall comply with the Rancho Cucamonga Sign Code. (9) Existing billboards are regulated by the City of Rancho Cucamonga Sign Ordinance and new billboards are prohibited by the City of Rancho Cucamonga Sign Ordinance. f. EauiDment Screenine, Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally integrated in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable. 17.32-52 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17. 32. 050 Corntemporary street light withFormal street tree Restaurant with banner planting corner access and 2 story building · ' awnings 'with planted terraces - retail at ,street Signal Fountain/water container element Street seating FACADE ARTICULATION g. Facade Articulation. In the case of multi-storied buildings, it is important that they relate to the pedestrian. All around story facades shall be designed to relate to a pedestrian scale. This can be accomplished through breaking the facade into bays and the signage brought down in size and location. Pedestrian scale along Foothill Boulevard shall also be established through the use of pedestrian arcades and awnings which add horizontal articulation to facades. h. The Pedestrian ExPerience. Architecture and outdoor space along Foothill Boulevard shall be integrally designed and oriented toward the pedestrian experience. The experience should be visually diverse, stimulating, and include activities that create a sense of variety and excitement. (1) Site buildings to create new pedestrian spaces that complement and expand the existing pedestrian rights-of-way along Foothill Boulevard. This is accomplished by creating plazas and allowing wider sidewalks on Foothill Boulevard. (2) Site and design .buildings to minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and avoid locating driveways and service areas which interfere with the flow of Foothill Boulevard pedestrian movements. (3) Site and design structures to facilitate public access across sites where important pedestrian connections occur. Mid block passageways from rear parking lots can be created through a fully developed internal paseo system. 17,32-53 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 1 Z 32. 050 11. Streetscape Desiqn Details. a. Streetscaoe Furniture. This streetscape furniture/material palette depicts the elements to utilize along Foothill Boulevard. All furniture that is connected to the sidewalk shall be connected with shear bolts and not have concrete or other footings. This matrix applies to all of Foothill Boulevard, It should be noted that these furniture selections are for future direction only. It is not intended to be a final selection. The City may want to select other fumiture as appropriate and necessary.

StreetscaPe Liehtino. It is the intent of streetscape lighting to add a consistent, planned look for Foothill Boulevard dudng daylight hours and evening. Lighting can have a dramatic affect on the quality of streetscape design. All lighting fixtures in the public right-of-way shall be consistent and appreved by the City Engineer following the recommendation ofthe Planning Commission. Materials should be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme. Luminaires, poles and supporting hardware should also be consistent. All development areas outside the public right-of-way shall use high pressure sodium lighting. All direct light rays shall be confined to the limits ofthe building site. c. StreetscoDe Color Coordination. In order to aid in design continuity along the Foothilt Corridor, significant portions of all street furniture shall be finished with a 17.32-54 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Secaons 17. 28. 060 unifying color. A color shall be selected which will exhibit the same characteristics on a variety of materials (concrete, wood, metal, etc.) And provide a noticeable color element along the streetscape. Section 17.32.060 - Trip Reduction A. A minimum of one shower facility accessible to both men and women shall be provided for persons walking or bicycling to work for each project which meets the following thresholds: Commercial 250,000 square feet Industrial 325,000 square feet Office 125,000 square feet Hotels and Motels 250 rooms Section 17.32.070-Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement The portion of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and Interstate 15 was not part of the original Foothill Boulevard Study area; therefore the provisions of the original Plan did not apply to development within this "missing Link". Subsequently the Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement was prepared in order to provide specific streetscape design provisions through those portions of Terra Vista and Victoria Community Plans and the Industrial Districts. The Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement therefore extends the concepts of the Foothill Boulevard Plan through the "missing link". thereby creating a dynamic concourse with a unifying community design image reflective of the community heritage and identity. A. Activity Centers: Activity centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevard corridor defined as "Theme" or "Statement" areas which "tie" together the visual aspects of the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the city, promote concentrated activity at these areas, and give identity and theme to the areas in which they are located. The activity centers are located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard as indicated in the drawing below. · ACTIVITY CENTERS 'J 17.32-55 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32.070 Because three corners of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed, the development provisions of the activity center are limited to those streetscape and landscape improvements within the public right-of-way. Therefore, many of the following standards apply only to the Milliken 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 pedestrian zones with special hardscape materials, formal landscape arrangements, and pedestrian level lighting. b. Streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks with special 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, street tree planting system utilizing a patette of informally shaped, colorful trees. 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 first ddveway or as modified through the design review process. The extent of the urban streetscape should be able to adjust to changes iin public right-of-way conditions, such as right turn lanes and bus bays. 2. Site Plannine: a. At activity centers, buildings may be placed at or adjacent to the front setback line to create 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 bays and the signage brought down in size and location. Further, this reduction in scale can be established through the use of elements which add horizontal articulation to the facades. Examples of these elements include pedestrian arcades and awnings. (Milliken & Rochester only.) c. Buildings shall be designed to eliminate a fragmented, strip commercial appearance and should be oriented to the activity center (Milliken & Rochester only). d. Architecture and outdoor spaces along Foothill Boulevard shall be integrally 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 within the site so as to ensure ease of access from one site to adjoining sites in a safe manner. 17.32-56 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32.070 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 intersection. Milliken Activity Center - There are no existing buildings located at the Milliken 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 corner(s) of the intersection. Rochester Activit~ Center - New proposals shall consider and respect the architectural style of existing buildings. For example, the Aggazzotti Winery at the southeast corner of Foothill 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 second floor in recognition of the differences in the character of activities at the ground floor level. Examples include, but are not limited to, the use of storefront glass, stepped-back or tiered forms, fenestration, and other appropriate architectural features facing Foothill Boulevard, Milliken Avenue, and Rochester Avenue. 4. Landscape Conceet: The activity centers shall be distinguished from suburban (informal) parkway areas through the use of formal, urban tree plantings. These formal planrings shall border all activity centers and shall define these areas as being higher intensity, urban districts. The planrings shall consist of an offset double row of Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) trees along each road frontage. Additional plant materials (evergreen canopy trees, palms, etc.) may be introduced to supplement the Crape Myrtle as a backdrop. The type and location of the additional materials should be based on the particular building design, scale, and setback. 17.32-57 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 070 Formal Street Tree Planting Street Access to Two Story Building EnriChed Plaza .-.t.

The parkways will be designed with informal clusters of trees, rolling tuff berms, and meandering/undulating sidewalks evoking pastoral, suburban qualities. b. Streetscape elements such as bollards, crosswalks with special paving, light standards, and street furniture shall be identical in style and finish to those used in the Foothill Boulevard corridor. 2. Architectural ConceDt: a. The architectural characteristics shall be governed by the existing standards of the Development Code, Terra Vista Community Plan. and Victoria Community Plan. b. In situations where buildings are highly visible from the side streets and/or adjacent parking areas, special emphasis shaft be placed on creating architectural interest. 3. Landscape Concept: The planrings will consist of informal treatments, dominated by London Plane (Platanus acerifolia), California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa), and Flowering Plum (Prunus cerasifera) trees. Other species may be used to accent and/or supplement these designated tree types. The type and location of these species should be reviewed in conjunction with specific development proposals, 17.32-59 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32. 070 C. Parkway Transitions: In order to provide a gradual transition from the urban activity centers to the suburban, informal parkways, "parkway transitions" will be introduced along the corridor. Parkway transitions are designed to blend the formal bardscape and tree planting pattern of the activity centers with the informal landscape and herdscape treatment of the suburban parkways. Specifically, the parkway transition is characterized by a 75-foot to 150-foot zone, dominated by Flowering Plum trees. Other tree species may be introduced to supplement the Flowering Plum to assist in creating a smooth transition.

Site Plannine: a. Buildings shall be sited to create new pedestrian spaces that complement and expand the existing pedestrian rights-of-way along Foothill Boulevard. This can be accomplished by creating plazas and allowing wider sidewalks on the boulevard. b. Buildings shall be designed and placed to minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. Driveways and service areas shall be located to avoid interfering with the flow of pedestrian circulation in and around the site. c. All auto related facilities (i.e. working bays, storage, etc.) shall be oriented/screened away from public view. d. Buildings should be oriented to encourage restaurants, services, limited retail uses (as permitted by the applicable Community Plan or Chapter 17.30), and other high intensity pedestrian uses on the ground levels of all buildings within activity centers. 17.32-60 Re vised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32. 070 2. Parking Lots: a. Whenever possible, entries shall be located on side streets in order to minimize pedestrian/vehicuIar conflicts. When this is not possible, the Foothill Boulevard site entry shall be designed with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers (behind the public right-of-way) to differentiate it from the sidewalks. b. Parking access points, whether located on Foothill Boulevard or side streets, shall be located as far from street intersections as possible. c. Parking areas shall be designed so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving vehicles and minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles. d. Individual project parking areas shall be linked with on-site driveways which are clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors. New development projects shall delineate on all plans where vehicular connections to adjacent properties are located. The applicant must also demonstrate provisions for access easements for such vehicular movements to adjacent properties consistent with approved master plans. e. Parking areas shall be designed in a manner which link the building to the street sidewalk system to encourage and facilitate pedestrian movement. This can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced paving, trellis structures, and/or landscape treatments. 3. Landscape Desian: a. All street furniture, light standards, bollards, and similar hardware within 10 feet of the public right-of-way shall be painted a color chosen as the Foothill Corridor Theme Color. Sign faces may vary and match related architecture. b. A colorful landscape edge shall be established at the base of buildings. Asphalt edges at the base of structures are prohibited. Plant materials in containers are appropriate. c. Internal pedestrian circulation, linking office complexes with neighboring commerciai Or office developments, should be located close to buildings. d. Planting clusters should assume a non-uniform arrangement. The diversity of massing types should be great enough to provide interest but kept to a level which evokes a relaxed, natural feeling to the observer. e. Water conserving plantings and irrigation should be used in all landscaped areas. (Refer to City Ordinance No. 411-Xeriscape.) 4. Streetscape Lighting: a. It is the intent of streetscape lighting to add a consistent, planned look for Foothill Boulevard dudng day and evening hours. Lighting can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the streetscape design. 17.32-61 Revised December 1998 Ran cho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17.32.070 b. All lighting fixtures in the public right-of-way shall be consistent along Foothill Boulevard and approved by the City Engineer following recommendations of the Planning Commission. Materials shall be consistent and in keeping with the desired theme. Poles and supporting hardware shall be consistent with City standards. c. All development areas outside the public right-of-way shall use high pressure sodium lighting. All direct light rays shall be confined to the limits of the building site. E. Foothill Boulevard Circulation Improvements 1. Center Median Preqram - Based upon traffic analyses, a continuous 14-foot wide raised landscaped median shall be provided on Foothill Boulevard. The median can provide benefits necessary to accommodate increased development and traffic demand through increased vehicular capacity, increased vehicular/pedestrian safety, increased vehicular mobility, and increased vehicular level of service Median breaks shall occur only at major signalized intersections as determined by the City Engineer. Alternate median breaks may be considered subject to a detailed traffic analysis and subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. 2. Median Desiqn - The 14-foot wide median shall be designed to provide access control and a unifying landscape statement. The median will feature basic types of planting. Accent tree planting (Crape myrtle), underplanted with a low eergreen groundcover, will be provided as median noses. Evergreen trees (Phus lancea), underplanted with shrubs and groundcover, will be planted throughout the balance of the median. 17.32-62 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 070 PATHWAY MEDIAN ACCENT TREES (CRAPE MYRTLE) TRAINGULAR SPACING 6; CURB W/fB" CONCRETE PAVER MAINTENANCE EOGE MAJOR EVERGREEN TREE 24" CONCRETE ?AVERS ~N ~ % I MORTAR BED c~oNcne'n ' ""' ' ' 'DETAIL SECTION 7'-o" ~,- NTS PARKWAY/MEDIAN ACCENT TREE CRAPE MYRTLE MAJOR EVERGREEN MEDIAN TREE (RHUS LANCEA) SHRUBS/GROUND COVER SECTION MEDIAN ISLAND DESIGN CONCEPTS 17.32-63 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 070 F.

Section 17.32.080 - Subarea Development Standards This Section provides development standards for the individual subareas of the Foothill Boulevard Districts. The purpose of preparing subarea development standards is to identify the most prominent development standards applied within each of the four subareas in the Foothill Boulevard Districts. For each subarea the following categories have been identified and discussed: 1. Background 2. Activity Center Area 3. Building Siting 4. Architectural Imagery 5. Landscape/Streetscape Imagery 6. Community Design Palette 7. Land Use Regulations 8. Site Development Standards The list described above does not intend to cover every specific development requirement which may be utilized in developing within the Foothill Boulevard, but does provide a quick overview of the major development considerations within each subarea. Any person interested in developing within the boundaries of the Foothill Boulevard Districts should refer to this Chapter in its entirety for an in-depth discussion of all the development constraints, opportunities, and standards. 17.32-65 Revised December 1998 o) LEGENd) .ESIDE.TiA~,' ~ MIXED USE r'~ Low DENStTT EESIDENTIAL ~ OFFICE ~ LOW-MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL ~ COMMERCIAL/OFFICE 0 ~ MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL ~ MEDIUM-HIGH RESIDENTIAL CO.MMERCIAL ~ LIGHT INDUSTR AL COMMERCIAL ~ COMMUNITy COMMERCIAL ~ PUBLIC " · -- ~"'"" ~" Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 A. Subarea 1 1. Background. Subarea 1 is the least "linear" subarea within the Foothill Boulevard Distdct boundary. Land uses currently cover a spectrum of intensities, from single-family to medium-density residential structures, as well as office and commercial uses. Because of the variety of existing land uses, and the future emphasis on specialty commercial uses, it is logical to delineate this area as a "village." A large portion of this "village" is physically removed from the remainder of Foothill Boulevard by a railread trestle bridge and a large natural land form (Red Hill) in the central portion of the subarea. The Sycamore Inn and Magic Lamp restaurants are the most architecturally distinctive buildings in the area. Their location and proximity to one another provides the basis for the activity center of "Bear Gulch." The scale of these restaurant structures will keynote future architectural harmony for Bear Gulch Village. Other buildings are not as architectureliy significant. Significant numbers of sycamores are found in this subarea, as well as a preliferation of the use of river reck in a number of structures. Many negative aesthetic features exist in this area as well. Least-appealing is outdoor storage visible from Foothill Boulevard. SUB-AREA 1 - DESIGN ANALYSIS MAP 2. Activity Center Area.

Village streetscape vocabulary f. Rear and side parking ....... .....:.:.:.:.. SUB-AREA I, ACTIVITY CENTER MAP 3. Building Siting. The concept for this activity center is to reinforce existing restaurant use with similar and complimentary uses. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be reduced to 25 feet from the curb (13 foot parkway and 12 foot setback from property line). Architectural scale is to remain at a "village" scale, one-story along sidewalks, with two- story structures allowed beyond the 50 foot setback (38 feet from property line) limits. Parking lots between the front property line and major structures, are strongly discouraged. Front setbacks for parking araas shall be 45 feet from the ultimate curb line (33 feet from property line). An 8 foot sidewalk will be located behind a 5 foot turf strip. The remaining land area within the front setback shall be either informally landscaped or an additional harriscape area expanded, depending upon proposed building entdes, windows, and walls. The sidewalk material shall be a "medium broom" finish, terra cotta colored concrete. Natural colored concrete is not recommended due to its highly reflective nature, lack of interest, and inability to carry through the desired "village" design concept. 17,32-68 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 There will not be a requirement for existing structures and parking lots to comply with these new standards. Only new development and redevelopment of the exterior facade shall incorporate these setbacks and design concepts into their designs. 25'0" building setback from curb -- 25'0" second story setback | ay -- 5'0" turf strip Private jor tree Calif, Sycamore Development (irregularly spaced) Enhanced entry pavement . ~: ,' NOTE: Shaded areas behind R.O.W. line depicts landscaped or pedestrian hardscape surfaces 4. Architectural Imaaerv. All buildings should project a design vocabulary sensitive to the architecture of the Sycamore Inn and Magic Lamp, which includes multiple low-pitched roofs. traditional window shapes and placement. porches, arcades, and porticos. Overall scale should relate to the pedestrian, with a decidedly intimate "human scale." Buildings over two stories in height are not recommended in the activity center. Vadous architectural details, forms, materials, and colors are appropriate if they harmonize with the basic materials and color palette for Bear Gulch Village summarized in the Community Design Palette and the General Design Guidelines of Section 17.32.050. 17.32-69 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 Gentle Roof Pitch Multi-Paned Windows Multi-Planed Roofs Deep Porch Simple, Unadorned Porch Colurns Board and Batten Siding 5. Landscaoe/Streetscaoe Imaoerv. The sequence of views upon entering Rancho Cucamonga at Grove Avenue will shape the opinion of motorists as the quality of the city they are entering. Therefore, the importance ofthe imagery of landscape and streetscape elements is paramount in Bear Gulch Village. The concept within the activity center area is to incorporate an informal street tree planting system utilizing an informally shaped, colorful street tree palette. The trees (Sycamores and Crape Myrtle) are to be planted in an informal arrangement inside the property line. 6. Community Desion Palette a. Architectural Character Determinant.

Crape Myrtle (secondary activity node) Sycamore (primary activity node) Carolina Laurel Cherry (major median species) Flowering Plum (secondary suburban parkway and median accent tree) In order to prevent a barren wintertime street scene, street, parkway, and median trees have been selected to avoid a completely deciduous palette. Activity center trees planted in informal styles shall be at a minimum of 30 inch box size in order to achieve a sufficient height for clear visibility under the canopy. 7. Land Use Reaulations - Subarea 1 a. Priman/Function/Location. Subarea 1 is located contiguous to the Foothill Corridor between Grove and Vineyard Avenues. Subarea 1 will act as a major gateway into the community, dominated by a Specialty Commercial Activity Center, (Foothill and San Bernardino) designed as the primary activity center within the subarea. In addition to the public hearing and notification requirements of Section 17.02. t 10, additional notification of all property owners within the Foothill Boulevard subarea in which the property under review is located is required. b.

The Thomas Brothers Winery, which is located on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, is one of the few historical structures in the corridor. Research into the regional history of the Cucamonga area has led to the establishment of a Rancho Cucamonga Heritage image which reflects the agricultural heritage of the entire region. The activity center in Subarea 2 is located at the intersection of Vineyard Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The parcels located in this area are currently designated "CC", Community Commercial, and "SC', Specialty Commercial. The remainder of Subarea 2 is composed of relatively new development, completed under pre-Foothill Boulevard zoning. There is very little vacant land within this subarea. The small amount of vacant land which exists is in the activity center at Vineyard Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

Bulldine Sitina. The concept for this activity center is to concentrate specialty commercial and community commercial uses at the intersection of Vineyard Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue are to be 25 feet minimum from the u!timate curb line. All off-street parking is to be set back at least 50 feet from the ultimate curb line. Parking lots located between the front property line and major structures are strongly discouraged. In addition, building masses should not have large expanses of parking located between structures. The environment on each of these properties should be conducive to pedestrian movements from major parking areas to commercial establishments. Due to the depths of these properties it is impractical and wasteful to require all buildings to be located on the front setback line. However. all sites should have some building or portions of buildings located on the front (street) setback line; consistent with site development standards for these properties. 17.32-77 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 Camtemporary street light withFormal street tree Restaurant with banner planting corner access and 2 story building  awnings ',vith planted erraces - re all at ~treet t Signal o~ ,~in a er ree sea in ' container le; t/w t St t t g FACADE ARTICULATION 4. Amhitectural Imaaerv. As previously mentioned, the Thomas Brothers Winery is the style determinant in this subarea. The main buildings at the Thomas Brothers Winery do not portray "special" architectural features other than a grape arbor and multiple shed roofs. Investigations into the architectural heritage of winery buildings suggests that the structure is representative of the California Barn Style (see sketch). The simple, clean lines of the barn in profile provide an almost unlimited range of architectural expressions. The barn silhouette is universally recognized as a symbol of the winery culture and is uniquely suited to serve as the pdmary amhitecturel prototype for this subarea. Repeated use of building materials, color, and basic architectural elements, can be expanded so that proposed buildings can be designed in harmony with the basic contextual "feel" of the winery. 17.32-78 Revised December f998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 .Red Tile Roof ~arn Roof Shapes Multi-Planed Roof Exposed Rafter Tads . .: ,: :.

It contains the "central" activity center at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue. This activity center, known as the Cucamonga Towne Center, will be more urban in nature than all other activity centers along Foothill Boulevard. Land uses vary considerably within this subarea, with small- to medium-sized commercial uses dominating the central portion of the Subarea. Fb'ofhlll Blvd. SUB-AREA 3 - DESIGN ANALYSIS MAP 2. Activity Center Area. Unlike any other subarea, Subarea 3 has two activity centers located within it. The first activity center is located at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue. Its boundaries are irregular and do not correspond to a land use district, but generally relate fo the CC and SC land use designations. The second activity center is located at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Hermosa Avenue. This is referred to as the Hermosa Intersection. It is a minor center with less formality than the Cucamonga Towne Center. The Community Design Plan for this minor activity center will relate to the CC and CO land use designations. 17.32-84 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32.080 3. Buildina Sitina. The concept for the Cucamonga Towne Center is to create a retail commercial core which emphasizes pedestrian cimulation. This will be accomplished by promoting building clusters with parking lots located away from pedestrian travel routes. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be 25 feet from the curb with hardscape and landscape predominant. Parking is prohibited in the front setback areas. Setbacks for the second and third stodes of any building located in this activity center are 50 and 60 feet, respectively.' Ground floor courtyards or plazas on private property are encouraged. The intersection at Archibald Avenue will become the primary focus for Foothill Boulevard. Buildings at this location should incorporate architectural features which emphasize urban qualities. Features will include corner cut-offs and vertical elements such as towers, flagpoles, trellis structures, etc. In the activity center, no setbacks are required at the side or rear property lines for buildings located on the 25 foot front setback line; in order to encourage a continuous row or cluster of buildings sited in the activity 17.32-85 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 1 Z 32. 080 center with parking located between the primary structure entry and the street shall provide full side and rear-yard setbacks.

LandscaDe/Streetscaoe Imaaerv. The landscape/streetscape concept within Cucamonga Towne Center is highlighted by a formal, double-row street tree planting utilizing an informally-shaped, colorful street tree. Landscape and harriscape materials am selected to perform a variety of functions; including improving and sof~ening building appearance, improving street appearance, and promoting sound absorption. The double row of trees promotes an "urban image" which acts as a counter point to suburban oriented themes. This urban accent will remain predominant throughout the planning area. In addition to the double row of trees on Foothill Boulevard, an equally urban palette of shrubs, turf, potted plants, attractive paving, benches, lighting, and other elements will make the pedestrian streetscapes attractive and usable. Sidewalks located within the Cucamonga Towne Center contiguous to Foothill Boulevard will extend from turf islands to building walls. To avoid any design/safety problems with Caltrans, a double row of traes shall be planted on private properbJ. The trees are to be planted in a regimental fashion (see graphic in Section 17.32.050 for clarity). The sidewalk material shall be a "medium broom" finish, incorporating a terra cotta color.

Subarea 3, located contiguous to the Foothill Corridor between Archibald Avenue and Deer Creek Channel, contains a variety of commercial, office, and residential land uses ranging from Low-Medium Residential uses to higher intensity Community Commercial uses. This Subarea also contains a Mixed-Use district composed of Convenience Commercial and Medium-High Density Residential uses. A community activity center will be located at the intersection of Archibald Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, designed to increase Subarea 3 identity.

Subarea 4 1. BackorOund, Subarea 4 is the final subarea within the Foothill Boulevard corridor and is physically separated from the other subareas. This physical separation, however, should not be allowed to disrupt the overall design continuity of Foothill Boulevard. This "Etiwanda Gateway" subarea is the least urban of the four subareas. Structures in the area do not currently have strong architectural style or thematic sense. This Subarea serves as a major entry into the Foothill Corridor, and as such, should project a strong design image. As the stone curbing along Etiwanda Avenue has been recognized as a unique historic feature, all new development shall be required to restore and/or reconstruct the stone curbing from Foothill Boulevard north to 24th Street (Wilson Avenue), in conformance with adopted City Standards acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. (Ord. #440, 2/20/91 ) 2. Activi~, Center Area. The Community Design Plan for the urban activity center will relate to the CC, and RRC land use designations at the intersection of Etiwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Subarea 4 is much less urbanized than the other three subareas. Due to the amount of vacant land and non-descript architectural legacy, there was no purpose in developing a design analysis map. However, all of the architectural, landscape architecture and streetscape elements will come directly from the other sub- area to ensure the design continuity of Foothill Boulevard. Unlike the other activity canter Foothill Boulevard, the activity center at Etiwanda will not require detailed pedestrian amenities. It is recommended that landscape and rolling berms be utilized instead of hardscape materials. -L SUB AREA 4 - ACTIVITY AREA MAP 17,32-96 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 080 SUBAREA 4 - ACTIVITY CENTER 3. Bulldine Sitine. The concept for the Etiwanda Gateway is to create character which portrays a regional commercial oriented image. Building setbacks along Foothill Boulevard will be 25 feet from the curb, with bardscape and landscape treatments predominant in this area. Parking is prohibited in this 25 foot setback area for properties at this intersection. 4. Architectural Imaeerv. As with other subareas, no fixed architectural "style" is mandated for the Etiwanda Gateway area. Buildings in this area should reflect the community design palette established generally for Foothill Boulevard. This palette incorporates the architectural "models" provided for by the Thomas Brothers Winery and Sycamore Inn. Buildings and structures shall incorporate such architectural elements as bdck, wood, tile, and stucco details in order to maintain a "human" scale within this regional oriented area. Cement block, tilt-up concrete, and similar :industrial-type" materials are prohibited from the activity center properties. 5. Landscaoe/Streetscaoe ImaQerv.

A. Economic Develooment Strateoies. This section outlines the Economic Development Strategy incorporated along with the Foothill Boulevard Districts. These efforts are intended to provide the framework for financing area public and private improvements, which can bring the circulation and design components of the district concept to reality and establish other mechanisms which will ultimately promote the viability of business activity along the Foothill Boulevard Corridor. In following brief notes on the purposes of an economic development strategy, the discussion turns to five key components which constitute the economic blueprint for the planning area. Each component is described in terms of it's rationale, potential phasing, private and public responsibilities, and appropriate funding sources. An Economic Development Strategy is but one part of the overall Foothill Boulevard District concept, though it is crucial to achieving a land use pattern which is viable in the marketplace while supporting the design objectives of the corridor. It is one of the focused blueprints for implementation of goals and objectives. In addition, it functions as a coordinating device between such features as traffic, design image, and land use. Finally, it enumerates the various administrative and financial resources which will be required for effective implementation. Economic development covers just one of the many policy blueprints necessary to bring the district's design, land use, and circulation sections into reality. Policies aimed toward retail and 17.32-101 Revised December 1998 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17. 32. 090 service land use, eventually will be evaluated not so much for their popular appeal, but whether or not they were carried out in practice and strengthened the local community. Therefore, this strategy is grounded in the findings of an earlier economic analysis conducted under the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan program and in the goals and objectives established with citizen input. Finally, an Economic Development Strategy enumerates the conditions under which various types of public assistance may occur. It also specifies what is expected of both private and governmental participants in the implementation process. Because resources for implementation are always limited, it is essential to pricritize objectives for the future and to reexamine these as time brings changes to the Rancho Cucamonga area. An underlying philosophy for economic development along the Foothill Corridor is that commercial proposals should be initiated by the private sector. Local government participation primarily will be used to provide a receptive climate in response to those proposals and to install special mechanisms that foster private action among retail and service businesses. Implementation policies may be divided into two types; administrative mechanisms and financial incentives. Some changes in the administrative climate for economic development are generally necessary to make use of specific incentive devices. Moreover, local government policy should give priority to improving the climate for the local economy rather than on the provision of financial subsidies. 1. Redevelooment Proiect Area Amendment. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has supported the concept of redevelopment through formation of a project area that extends over much of the study area lying between Vineyard Avenue and the 1-15 Freeway, The Redevelopment Agency has amended its original plan to include a provision for Foothill Boulevard improvements, contemplating potential public participation in areas where such participation might be necessary to properly plan for and develop portions of the project area. The amendment increases the agency increment financing potential, its bonding capacity, and its time limit for implementation. This plan amendment provides the opportunity for the Redevelopment Agency to consider targeting specific public actions commensurate with its ability to finance the same. Consideration of such options should commence with a special report to the Redevelopment Agency outlining areas of potential public involvement, potential costs and priorities. This report will address such potential policy areas as: a. Participation in underwriting of certain street and intersection construction and reconstruction in identified problem areas b. Public design treatment as a positive force c. Elimination of physicai obstacles to private redevelopment d. Public participation in parcel consolidation e. Joint public-private participation ventures f. Applicable financing programs g. Redevelopment program schedules 17.32-102 Revised December 19 98 Rancho Cucamon$'a Development Code Sections 17. 32.090 The central aim of this policy is to provide a mechanism for public participation in areas where public action is necessary to eliminate major obstacles to the proper development of the corridor and to help provide better physical relationships to encourage future economic investment. 2. Infrastructure UDaradina. Creating an enhanced economic climate for Foothill Boulevard requires public sector commitments as well as private activity. This can include, where appropriate, such items as drainage improvements, street widening, and intersection reconstruction. Marking key entries to Rancho Cucamonga with "gateway" design elements is treated elsewhere in the corridor although it is tied to other infrastructure upgrading. Storm drain and related flood control investments are the heart of the infrastructure improvements. In order of possible phased development, specific improvements proposed for the plan area are: a. Hermosa Avenue area storm drain (from Deer Creek to Ramann along Foothill) $988,000. b. Archibald Avenue storm drain $2,943,000. c. Hellman Avenue storm drains, including connector with Cucamonga Channel $3,372,000 d. Foothill and East Avenue $1,809,000 e. Etiwanda Creek area approximately $3.3 million Funding for improvements number a. through c. and e. above can come from a Redevelopment Agency bond issue or a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District. The Mello-Roos Act has become a significant method of financing public capital facilities serving new development through bond issues authorized by special taxes. Since the Etiwanda Creek area will be among the last land areas in the corridor to undergo development, the City will continue its drainage fee collection system and will examine the possibility of either assessment district proceedings or a separate redevelopment bond issue as future land use needs are more clearly defined. 3. Incentive Program for Small-lot Consolidation. The Foothill Boulevard Districts recognizes that problems of traffic congestion and marginal land use are often associated with a pattern of small commercial land parcels. Highly fragmented ownership and land use arrangements also seriously hinder plans for renovation or expansion of businesses operating within such areas. Therefore, an incentive program for small-lot consolidation along the Foothill Corridor will be established. Assistance to support lot consolidation would apply only under the following conditions: a. Three or more legal parcels are involved in the consolidation; and b. None of the parcels alone exceeds one-half acre in size; and 17.32-103 Revised December 1998 Rancho CucamonSa Development Code Sections 17. 32. 090 c. Plans are submitted for a new development which exceeds the combined valuation of the land and improvements on the affected properties. The Redevelopmerit Agency can work with applicants on lot consolidation on public improvements within the project area to stimulate eventual recycling of existing uses. These would be applied on a case-by-case basis, depending on the current pattern of development and the proposals submitted. In addition, the City will consider potential properly acquisition for common parking areas to provide additional development potential for properties with difficult site constraints. Appropriate target areas for this program are sites between Grove and the railroad undercrossing, from Hellman to Klusman, and between Hermosa and Center. 4. Attraction of Hiah Sales Volume/Market Void Uses. A market analysis prepared during the preparation of the original Specific Plan process identified a number of retail and service activities which are under-represented in the Foothill Corridor. Efforts to attract these land uses should be made to the extent that they would compliment rather than compete directly with land uses planned for the Victoria Gardens Mall and its immediate surroundings. This wi!l be an ongoing implementation activity, having a greater potential for positive results after infrastructure improvements are in place and local populations rise than if tackled early in the life ofthe corridor. Types of businesses which would be targets of the marketing effort include high sales tax and employment generators. In order for this economic development program to be successful, it will be necessary to make corridor sites more attractive to private investment than sites in the immediate vicinity of the regional mall. The use of the redevelopment process and land assembly (with available funds) may need to be a part of this effort. 5. Initiate a Small Business Assistance Proqram. New business promotion and redevelopmerit activity do not mean that the needs of existing Foothill Corridor retail and service outlets will be neglected. The Foothill Boulevard Districts is committed to strengthen the operation of those firms which are viable contributors to serving neighborhood and community-wide consumer demands. In order to assist the small business sector, the Redevelopment Agency will work toward establishing a program for use by businesses to finance facade upgrading and on-site improvements. The program would be open to owners of commercial propert,/, and loans would be available for up to 80 percent of the authorized improvements, not to exceed $50,000.00 per properb/. Interest rate on the loan shall be prime rate. The criteria for improvements to be eligible for the Business Assistance Program are as follows: a. that improvements promote and are not in conflict with the goals and objectives of this Chapter. b. Eligible improvements may include costs to repaint, re-stucco, re-roof, upgrade landscapin9, resun'ace parking facilities, or other minor on-site upgrading. 17.32-104 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Sections 17. 32. 090 c. That all facade and on-site improvements are approved through the Design Review process. d. That improvements for non-conforming uses and structures are in conformance with provisions of this Chapter. e. Addition of new building and site features (not to include additional floor or parking area) which reduce the degree of non-conformity of existing features is encouraged under this program. Other small business assistance programs which the City can investigate includes the establishment of a local development corporation in conjunction with the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce. Seed money for such a venture is available through Community Development Block Grant Section 108 provisions and the Small Business Administration 504 Program. The function of this nonprofit organization would be to stimulate the health and expansion of small businesses through low-interest loans or grants. This funding would support: building construction leasehold improvements renovation and modernization machinery and equipment land acquisition CDBG and Small Business Administration regulations each set the criteria for firms that may receive financial aid. For example, eligible businesses must have a net worth of less than $6 million and be the actual user of assets purchased with loan funds. The concept of "shared risk" is advanced as the SBA program will provide loans only up to 40 percent of project costs; owner equity and conventional bank/private sector lending must make up the remainder. 6. Promote HOUSinG ODeortunities SuDDOrtiVe Of Commercial Land Use Incentives. A strong retail and service sector along any major traffic artery draws its life-blood from local and subregional consumer patronage. Both the business community and local government must work diligently to promote shopper use of the Foothill Corridor over other alternative destinations. Part of this strategy involves bringing more residents to the corridor vicinity because existing and planned businesses cannot rely exclusively on through traffic for their viability. The commercial intensity recommended for Foothill Boulevard presents Rancho Cucamonga with a most ambitious land use target to achieve. Attracting patrons from Upland and western Fontana to Foothill businesses is not likely to provide a sufficient base of support. Therefore, the City should promote housing development on those properties designated for residential use along the corridor and adjacent areas. Medium Residential land uses are appropriate densities for consideration with the bordering Low Density neighborhoods and as an aid to the business sector viability. B. Sign and Street Furniture Maintenance District. The City should consider the establishment of a Maintenance Assessment District for the Foothill Corridor which will accumulate funds to 17.32-105 Revised December 1998 Rancho Cucamon~a Develoi~ment Code Sections 17. 32.090 improve and maintain public and private signs and appurtenances. The funds will be accumulated by charging a special fee for signs in the Foothill Corridor. The fee will be charged at the design review building permit stage. C. Foothill Corridor Color Coordination. In order to induce design continuity along the Foothill Corridor, the City will begin a painting and clean-up program. All appropriate sign hardware, street furniture, poles, barriers, signal signs and related objects in the public right-of-way of Foothill Boulevard in the study area shall be painted a distinctive and consistent color. D. City Sign Locations. In those areas designated as key locations for City signs, (as discussed in-Section 17.32.050) the City should proceed to negotiate a least cost use of private property (i.e., lease, acquisition, etc.). 17,32-106 Revised December 1998 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ' STAFF REPORT DATE: May 26, 1999 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Brent Le Count, ACIP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTALASSESSMENTANDDEVELOPMENTREVIEW99-15-GATX- A request to construct two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 885, 160 square feet (Building A - 443,190 square feet and Building B o 441,970 square feet) on 43.56 acres of land in Subarea 8 (General Industrial) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located on the east side of Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route - APN: 229-011-32.

The project is in conformance with this required ratio. ANALYSIS: A. Backqround: The Planning Commission held a Pre-Application Review Workshop on the project on January 13, 1999. Concerns raised by the Commission included ensuring a high intensity of landscaping/screening is provided along street frontages (especially Milliken Avenue), how the project will 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), provisions for large container truck traffic circulation, and the articulation of building facades. See attached workshop minutes included as an exhibit to the Design Review Committee Action Comments. B. General: The project consists of two separate warehouse buildings within the Catellus Master Plan. which was approved by the Planning Commission on April 28.1999. The sites currently contain vineyards and an interim golf driving range use, with a 2-3 percent grade from north to south. The buildings are quite large, approximately 310 feet wide and 1,500 feet deep. The north elevation of Building A (1,500 feet long) will be visible from Foothill Boulevard until the area to the north is developed. Likewise, the south elevation of Building B will be visible from Arrow Route until the southern parcel of the Master Plan is developed. The south side of Building B is proposed to have 85 dock-high loading doors with 129 semi-trailer parking spaces on the south property line. This provides a significant screening challenge relative to Arrow Route during the interim period, prior to construction of the southern parcel. Even after a building or buildings are built on the southern parcel, there may be view corridors through the southern site to the Building B loading area. Truck parking and circulation is also proposed along the east sides of both buildings visible from the Masi Plaza and the Adult Sports Complex/Epicenter. Significant screening is necessary along the south and east project perimeter for loading activity. The office entry areas are appropriately enhanced with architectural relief and use of spandrel glass as an accent. C. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (McNiel, Stewart. Henderson) reviewed the project on May 4, 1999, and requested that the project be redesigned and brought back for furlher review. The Committee (McNiel, Macias. Henderson) reviewed the revised project on May 18, 1999, and recommend approval with conditions. Please refer to the attached Design Review Committee Action Comments for further details.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:40 p.m. Brent Le Count May 4, 1999 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-15 - GATX - A request to construct two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 885, 160 square feet (Building A - 443, 190 square feet, Building B - 441.970 square feet) on 43.56 acres of land in Subarea 8 (General Industrial) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan located on the east side of Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route - APN: 229-011-32. Related files: Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 99-01, Development Review 99-11 (Catellus Master Plan) and Tentative Parcel Map 15295. Desiqn Parameters: The project consists of two separate warehouse buildings within the Careflus Master Plan, which is scheduled for Planning Commission on April 28, 1999. The sites are vineyards, and an interim golf driving range use, with a 2-3 percent grade from north to south. The buildings are quite large, approximately 310 feet wide and 1,500 feet deep. The north elevation of Building A (1,500 feet long) will be visible from Foothill Boulevard until the area to the north is developed. Likewise, the south elevation of Building B will be visible from Arrow Route until the southern parcel of the Master Plan is developed. The south side of Building B is proposed to have 85 dock high loading doors with 129 semi-trailer parking spaces on the south property line. This provides a significant screening challenge relative to Arrow Route during the interim period, prior to construction on the southern parcel. Even after a building or buildings are built on the southern parcel, there may be view corridors through the southern site to the Building B loading area. Truck parking and circulation is also proposed along the east sides of both buildings visible from the Masi Plaza and the Adult Sports Complex/Epicenter. It is proposed to be screened with a 14-foot high wall, which is 6 feet in excess of the maximum allowed wall height; therefore. would require a Variance application (none submitted), The office entry areas are appropriately enhanced with architectural relief and use of spandrel 91ass as an accent, However, only one primary buildin9 material is proposed (painted concrete). 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. Significantly upgrade the north elevation of Building A. This may include but is not limited to adding more glazed archway pop-outs, vertical and horizontal changes of plane, free-standing tilt-up concrete elements/arches, and sandblasted concrete bands. 2. Provide dense, evergreen landscaping along south property line of Building B site to screen loading area from Arrow Route. 3. Provide minimum of two primary exterior building materials. Sandblasted concrete and brick veneer are the most common materials used to enhance painted concrete tilt-up buildings. Emphasis should be on office portions; however, the large scale of these buildings warrants enhancements throughout. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. The easterly enhanced element on Building A north elevation should be relocated to align with driveway from Foothill Boulevard to provide a visual focal point. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-15- GATX May4,1999 Page 2 2. The north side of Building B is proposed to have landscaping (see Sheet L-2); however, the section of this area shows an 8-foot walkway (see Sheet 5.1, Section C). Staff prefers landscaping to soften the building mass. 3. Provide significant, heavily landscaped, meandering herins within landscape setbacks along the street frontages to completely screen parking areas from view of Milliken Avenue. The lushness of berm landscaping should be on par with the slope landscaping on Milliken Avenue where it crosses under the Metro-Link trestle south of the subject site. 4. Signs shall be posted on the driveways off Milliken Avenue precluding truck access. The only truck access shall be through the driveway entrance off the cul-de-sac street north of Building A. 5. Security gates and associated fencing fronting Milliken Avenue shall be opaque to fully screen truck loading areas from view of Milliken Avenue. The gates shall be automatically operated so that they are open a minimum amount of time. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. The buildings shall include use of a minimum of two primary exterior building materials, consistent with Planning Commission Industrial Area Design Policy (Resolution 89-158). 2. All equipment, both ground- and roof-mounted, shall be completely screened from view of surrounding properties and public rights-of-way. This includes vantage points from the north of the sites, which are of a higher elevation than the sites. 3. Provide tables, chairs, and shade structures for outdoor employee eating areas. 4. Screen walls shall not exceed an exposed height of 8 feet as viewed from public rights-of-way and surrounding properties as set forth in the Industrial Area Specific Plan. 5. Truck parking spaces shall be a minimum of 14 feet wide by 50 feet deep. 6. Provide a minimum side setback of 5 feet. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the project be revised and brought back to the Committee for further review subject to the above comments. Desiqn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewad, Larry Henderson Staff Planner: Srent Le Count The Committee (McNiel. Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the project and requested that it be revised in light of staffs comments and the following additional comments and brought back for further review. The applicant agreed to Committee action: 1. Enhance north elevation of Building A by adding freestanding concrete archways between enhanced wall surfaces. The freestanding archways should be at least 1-foot thick and be set at least 4 feet from the building wall surface. L ~ ~ DRC COMMENTS DR 99-15 - GATX May 4, 1999 Page 3 2. Provide spandrel glass within square elements near top of parapet for office entry area enhancement and sandblasted concrete in remaining squares. 3. Provide sandblasted concrete around entire base of buildings. 4. Temporary screening along south boundary of Building B site need not include wrought iron fencing but shall include, at a minimum densely planted trees and shrubs of a species that's fast growing and has large coverage. Trees and shrubs should be staggered to form as opaque a screen as possible. 5. Provide very dense landscaping in front of both buildings to screen truck loading area behind. It is not necessary to provide landscaping along the north side of Building B. 6, Provide dense tree planting along the east property line to augment screening of truck loading/circulation from Quakes Stadium.

( ) ( ) ( ) (v') Comments: a) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identifies the area to the north of the subject site as potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF). As a result, habitat assessments and biological surveys were required to determine potential impacts to the DSF habitat as a result of the Lowe's project to the north. The studies were conducted 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 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 not extensive areas of exposed sand. While the subject site is outside the limits of the DSF area. the findings of the studies indicate that the nearby designated area does not contain adequate habitat. No other unique, rare, or endangered animal species are known to be located on the project site. 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES.

Project File No.: Development Review 99-15 Public Review Period Closes: May 26, 1999 Project Name: Project Applicant: Hogle Ireland, Inc. Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the east side of Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route - APN: 229-011-32. Project Description: A request to construct two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 885,160 square feet (Building A - 443,190 square feet, Building B - 441,970 square feet) on 43.56 acres of land in Subarea 8 (General Industrial) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Related files: Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 99-01, Development Review 99-11 (Catellus Master Plan), and Tentative Parcel Map 15295. FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to deten~ine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: [] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but: (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.
