STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 23, 1999
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Brent Le Count AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-17 - STEVEN WALKER HOMES - The design review
of detailed site plan and elevations for an 18-lot subdivision on 3.84 acres of land in
the Low Residential District (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre), located on the east side
of Hermosa Avenue between Wilson Avenue and Banyan Street - APN: 201-183-01
(Continued from June 9, 1999)
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq:
North - Existing single family homes; Low Residential (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre)
South - Vacant; San Bernardino County Flood Control District
East - Existing single family homes; Low-Medium Residential (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre)
West - Existing single family homes; Very Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre)
B Site Characteristics: The 3.84 acre site is vacant and void of improvements beyond previous
rough grading. The site slopes from north to south at approximately 6%.
ANALYSIS:
A. Backqround: The 18 home subdivision (including design review approval) was approved by
the Planning Commission on April 22. 1992. Since that time the final tract map has been
recorded but the design review approval of the former developer has expired. The applicant
is seeking approval of a new design review with different home designs than previously
approved. During the last time extension request, an existing homeowner to the nodh of the
subject site expressed concern that the home plotted on the lot below hers would unfairly
block her view and degrade her privacy. The Planning Commission determined that views
would not be blocked because of significant grade differential.
B. ,General: Three home plans are proposed, ranging in size from 2,580 square feet to 2,864
square feet, each with three elevation styles. All three home plans are proposed Io be two-
story with a maximum height of 26 feet (to roof ridge). Views of the valley from existing homes
to the north are not expected to be substantially affected by the proposed homes as the
finished floor elevations of the existing homes to the north are 15 to 16 feet higher than the
finished floor elevations of the proposed homes. All of the existing homes to the north are
two-story.

C. Desiqn Review Committee: The Committee (Mannerino, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the
project. on May 18, 1999, and recommended that the project be revised and brought back for
further review. The Committee (Stewart, Tolstoy, Henderson) reviewed the revised project
on June 1, 1999, and recommend approval. See the attached Design Review Action Agenda
for further details.
D. Neiqhborhood Meetinq: Due to the previous controversy during processing of the Tentative
Tract Map for the site, staff suggested that the applicant hold a neighborhood meeting. The
homeowners in the tract to the north of the site were invited to the meeting which was held on
June 16, 1999. One neighbor, Debbie Flores, was in attendance. Her concerns included
varmint and dust control during grading, re-plotting of the homes so that a one-story home be
located on the lot just south of hers, and future rear yard landscaping of that lot which might
block her views. She asked if Bayoun is the current developer and suggested the cost of the
homes should be at least $300,000 to help her property values. The developer indicated that
none of the homes are proposed to be one-story and that the previous approval had a two-
story home plotted closer to her home than the current proposal. Bayoun is not the developer
nor is the company involved in any way with the current proposal. The homes are expected
to start at $250,000 and may be as much as $300,000. Varmints will be controlled as much
as possible during clearing and grading, and water trucks will be on-site during grading
operations to ensure dust control.
The developer spent almost an hour with Mrs. Flores reviewing various aspects of the project
and provided her with the phone numbers of persons involved in construction so that she may
call them in case any issues arise during clearing, grubbing, or construction on site. At the
conclusion of the meeting, Mrs. Flores seemed amenable to the proposed project. However,
on June 17, 1999, the City Planner received a call from Mrs. Flores who indicated she did not
have sufficient time to review the plans at the neighborhood meeting. Plans were made
available to her for her review over the weekend. She believed if more of her neighbors were
aware that it was a new project, they would also have concerns. Staff believes the project has
been designed and plotted to address previous neighborhood comments raised with the
earlier projects and consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff would support a continuance for one meeting if, in fact, the neighbors need more time
to review the plans and meet with staff and the developer to look at vadous options. However,
it is possible, after a more thorough review of the plans by the neighborhood, that their
concerns have been addressed with the project design as submitted. ff this is the case, staff
is prepared to recommend approval of the project as submitted with conditions. Therefore,
staffs recommendation will be to either continue the review to July 14, 1999, or to approve
the project with conditions.
E. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Commission issued a Negative Declaration on
August 12, 1998, for the time extension for the subject subdivision.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
6:30 p.m. Brent Le Count May 18, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-17 - STEVEN WALKER HOMES - The design review of the detailed site
plan and elevations for an 18-lot subdivision on 3.84 acres of land in the Low Residential district (2 to
4 dwelling units per acre), located on the east side of Hermosa Avenue between Wilson Avenue and
Banyan Street - APN: 201-183-01
Background: The 18-home subdivision (including Design Review approval) was appreved by the
Planning Commission on April 22, 1992. Since that time, the final tract map has been recorded but the
design review approval has expired. The applicant is seeking approval of a new design review with
different home designs than previously approved. A key issue with the previous approval was a
contention by an existing homeowner to the north of the subject site, that the home plotted on the lot
below her would unfairly block her view and degrade her privacy,
Desi.qn Parameters: The 3.84 acre site is vacant and void of improvements beyond previous rough
grading. The site is surrounded to the west, north, and east by single family homes and to the south
by a flood control right-of-way. The site slopes from north to south at approximately 6 percent. Three
home plans are proposed ranging in size from 2,580 to 2,864 square feet, each with three elevation
styles. All three home plans are proposed to be two story with a maximum height of 26 feet (to roof
ridge). Views of the valley from existing homes to the north are not expected to be substantially
affected by the proposed homes as the finished floor elevations of the existing homes to the north are
15 to 16 feet hig her than the finished floor elevations of the proposed homes. All of the existing homes
to the north are two story.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following bread design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project.
1. All of the homes are proposed to have three-car, front-on garages. At least one of the three
home plans should be revised to have side-on garages to avoid having garages dominate the
street scene. Garage door surfaces should be staggered/offset for front-on garage plans.
5. Upgrade Elevation C on all floor plans which lack architectural style and detailing.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Upgrade elevations through use of color variation, adding decorative stone wainscoting, and more
extensive trim elements to provide more visual interest.
2. Carry more decorative elements used on front elevation, such as shutters, trim, and window
cutups around to the side and rear elevations as well.
3. Provide greater variation in the front yard setback for homes on Lots 12 through 16.
4. Provide more trees in front yard areas.
5. A 37-foot minimum average front setback is required. The proposed homes respect a 38-foot
average setback with homes on Lots 6 and 9 respecting 35- and 32-foot setbacks respectively,
While this meets the letter of the law, the Committee should discuss whether this is an acceptable
solution from an aesthetic standpoint. ~ ) '7

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Brent LeCount, Associate Planner
Darice Sebring, Planning Aide
SUBJECT: SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 99-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - An
amendment to restrict the submittal of the same application within 12 months and
require eight inch minimum lettering be placed on all monument signs.
BACKGROUND: At the May 12, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission expressed
concern that the Sign Ordinance does not prohibit the filing of a sign application that is substantially
the same as a previously denied sign application. The Commission requested that staff bring
forward a Sign Ordinance amendment that would preclude the filing of a sign application that is
substantially the same as a previously denied sign application within 12 months of the denial.
In addition to this most recent request of the Planning Commission, staff is also forwarding a request
to set a minimum eight inch letter size for copy on monument signs. This recommendation is
suppoded by previous discussions of the Sign Task Force and the City Council. The
recommendation is to require an eight inch minimum letter height for monument signs, replacing the
current text which reads "recommend an eight inch minimum".
ANALYSIS: The Sign Ordinance does not restrict how frequently an applicant can file a new
application following a denial or revocation. The Development Code has provisions that preclude
the filing of a Conditional Use Permit, Variance, Design Review, etc., for one year following denial
of the same or substantially the same applications on the same or substantially the same site. The
proposed amendment to the Sign Ordinance is patterned after the language of the Development
Code.
The Sign Ordinance suggests an eight inch miramum letter height for monument sign letters. The
amendment would establish eight inch high letters as the minimum standard. The purpose of such
a standard is to ensure that monument signs are legible to passing motorists. Letters smaller than
eight inches were determined too small to be easily read by traveling motorists, Although several
factors influence the legibility of a sign, including letter style, color, daytime versus nighttime, the
primary factor is letter size. Studies conducted by the National Electrical Sign Association found that
eight inch letters have a visibility of up to 350 feet (Exhibit "B"). The proposed amendment is
consistent with the goal of the Sign Ordinance which is to "direct persons to various activities and
enterprises, in order to provide for the maximum public convenience."

ANALYSIS:
A. Proposed Project: The applicant proposes to construct the remaining three buildings within
the main commercial component of the Master plan as shown in Exhibit "C." The orientation
of the three buildings is in substantial conformance with the approved Master Plan that is still
valid as shown in Exhibit "A." The approval of the version for the Master Plan with a theater
and ice and roller rinks has lapsed, as shown in Exhibit "B." The applicant stated that Building
11 (formerly theater pad) is designed for a specific tenant, 24-hour Fitness Center; however,
the other two buildings are for speculative commercial/office uses. The floor area for
Building 11 is 42,000 square feet, Buildings 12A and 12B are 13,484 square feet, and
Building 16 is 12,870 square feet. On May 11, 1999, the applicant received approval of
Conditional Use Permits 99-22 and 99-23 from the City Planner, which established the
proposed fitness use in Building 11 and a beauty salon in Building 5, see Exhibit "H."
B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Macias and Henderson)
reviewed the proposed project on May 18, 1999, and recommended that the applicant work
with staff in revising the development plans to address the identified design issues. On
June 1, 1999, the Committee reviewed the revised elevations for Buildings 11, 12A, 12 B, and
16 that were submitted by the applicant at the meeting. The Committee (Tolstoy, Stewart,
Henderson) recommended approval of the revised elevations with conditions as shown in the
attached June 1, 1999, Design Review Committee Action Comments, Exhibit "G." The
Committee also directed the applicant to work with staff in revising the Detailed Site Plan and
Landscape Plan to address the Major Design Issues listed in the May 18, 1999, Design
Review Committee Action Comments, Exhibit "G." The applicant stated at the meeting that
he agreed. Appropriate conditions of approval are placed in the Resolution for any design
issues that have not been addressed in the revised plans.
C. Technical/Grading Review Committees: The Committees have reviewed the development
plans and appropriate conditions of approval are placed in the Resolution and Standard
Conditions for any technical issues that have not been addressed in the revised plans.

D. Parkinq: According to the applicant, the commercial center of Masi Plaza consists of
11 buildings totaling 152,000 square feet with a total of 877 parking spaces and as shown in
Exhibit ~'1 ." Based on the parking calculations by types of uses for the commercial center, the
total number of parking spaces required is 934. There is a shortfall of 57 spaces. The
applicant was informed of the shortfall at the review of the related Conditional Use Permits
for the fitness center and beauty salon in May, 1999. The applicant has agreed to reduce the
square footage of Building 16 in order to meeting the parking requirements. At the time of
preparing this report, staff does not have a Detailed Site Plan showing the reduction of the
buildingsizeforBuilding 16incompliancewiththeparkingrequirement. Instead, the applicant
has faxed to staff (Exhibit "K") a request to rescind the approval of a related Conditional Use
Permit 99-23 for establishing a beauty salon in Building 5, which requires a total of 90 parking
spaces. According to the applicant, the purpose was to reduce the parking requirement
without sacrificing the square footage for Building 16. Staff believes that this can be achieved
and appropriate conditions of approval have been placed in the Resolution.
E. Environmental Assessment: A Negative Declaration was issued for the entire Master Plan on
July 22, 1992. The proposed development is in substantial conformance with the approved
Master Plan. The site is graded and presently contains a construction trailer. Therefore,
additional environmental review is not necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review 99-21, through the
adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
8:30 p.m. Nancy Fong May 18, 1999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-21 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS- The design review of
the detailed sffe plan and elevations for three buildings totaling 69,354 square feet within the Masi
Plaza, a previously approved, mixed-used development master plan, in the Industrial Park District,
Subarea 7, of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the northeast corner of Masi Drive and
Sebastian Way - APN: 229-011-45, 46, 50, and 61.
Design Parameters: Exhibit "A" shows the version of a previously approved master plan that is still
valid. Exhibit "B" shows a version of the master plan with a theater and ice and roller rinks, where the
approval has lapsed. The applicant proposed to follow through with the development of the remaining
three buildings within this main commercial component of the master plan. He stated that Building
11 (formerly the theater pad) is designed for a specific tenant, 24-Hour Fitness Center; however/the
other two buildings are for speculative commercial/office uses. The floor area for Building 11 is 42,000
square feet, Building 12A and 12B, combined, is 13,484 square feet, and Building 16 is 12,870 square
feet. The applicant processed Conditional Use Permit 99-22 to establish the proposed fitness center,
and it was subsequently approved by the City Planner on May 11, 1999. The majority of the public
improvements such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk; driveways; drainage facilities; street trees; and
street lights are in. The site is rough graded with no vegetation other than weeds.
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. Based on the existing and proposed uses, the number of parking spaces required is 934 and the
number of parking spaces provided is 877. Exhibit "C' is a table showing the detailed parking
calculations. The site is short 57 parking spaces. The applicant is aware of the shortfall and has
agreed to reduce the square footage of Building 16 to comply with the parking requirements.
The detailed site plan must be revised to show compliance.
2. Staff commends the applicant in providing a large plaza area in front of Building 11. Staff
believes that this plaza area should be enhanced with following improvements as well as
designed to address the Santa Aria winds:
a. Break up the large expanses of herdscape with additional large landscape areas planted
with pedestrian scale trees, raised planters with seating benches similar to existing ones
in the center, etc.
b. Add pedestrian-scale amenflies such as, but not limited to: street furniture, light fixtures,
fountains, large free-standing potted plants, etc.
c. Provide a row of 5- by 5-foot planter areas (palm trees) and space equally along the edge
of the driveway curb for a formal entry design. In between the row of palm trees should be
another row of pedestrian-scale trees.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting. the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Site Plan

to the building plane and adding concrete trim along the lower edges of the tower element
of the main building entry.
b. Increase the depth of the columns to enhance the articulation of the south and west
elevations of Building 11.
c. Enhance the south elevations of Buildings 12A and 12B because they are subject to view
from Sebastian Way. Enhance the north elevation of Building 12A because the main
driveway from Foothill Boulevard terminates at the northeast side of the building.
d. Repeat the same storefront window mullion pattern (the upper portion) as existing for
Buildings 12A, 12B, and 16.
e. Increase the depth of the columns for Building 16 and the south elevation of Buildings 12A
and 12B.
f. Use full-round columns instead of half-round for the tower elements - Buildings 12A, 12B,

Darice Sebring, Planning Aide
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-22 - MASI COMMERCE CENTER PARTNERS -
A request to establish a fitness center in a leased space of 42,000 square feet within
the Masi Plaza. in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Specific
Plan, located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue -
APN: 229-01145 and 61.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The proposed fitness center will be located in the proposed Building 11 as shown
in Exhibit "B." Currently, a related Development Review (Development Review 99-21)
application for Buildings 11, 12, and 16 is scheduled for May 18, 1999 for Design Review
Committee review. The fitness center features aerobic/cardiovascular machines, body
building equipment, a basketball court, swimming pool, weight control center, aerobics,
martial arts, yoga, and exercise equipment. It has ancillary services such as a 1,233 square
foot child care facility, a pro-shop, a nutrition center, juice bar and food sales, sports
medicine, chiropractic care and massage services (2 to 3 rooms totaling 250 square feet),
4 tanning rooms (200 square feet). The fitness center will be open 24-hours daily. It will
have a total of 30 employees.
B. Land Use Compatibility: Masi Plaza is a 27-acre mixed use center consisting of retail, auto
service. multi-tenant corn mercial, and industrial users of approximately 267,500 square feet.
The proposed fitness center is within the commercial component of the site, which is
bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Rochester Avenue, Sebastian Way, and Masi Drive. The
uses within the commercial center consist of seven restaurants such as Jack-In-The-Box,
Popeyes, Compass Creek, Dennys, etc., and service and retail uses such as dental. carpet
sales, and liquo~deli. The site, being so close to the Adult Sport complex, is conducive to
have a fitness center. The proposed use will be compatible to the existing uses in the
center.

C. Massaqe Services: The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code massage regulations restrict
massage uses to be conditionally permitted only in the General Commercial District.
Because it is not unusual for businesses such as beauty salons or health clubs to offer
ancillary service like facial or body massages, the City Planner has allowed them if the
establishments meet the following criteria: a maximum floor area of 100 square feet, no
separate permanent or temporary signs, and require separate massage technician permits.
The applicant is aware of the criteria and has agreed to comply. The criteria and
requirements are placed as conditions of approval as shown in the attached Resolution of
Approval.
D. Parkinq: According to the applicant. the commercial center of Masi Plaza consists of 11
buildings totaling 152,000 square with a total of 877 parking spaces and as shown in
Exhibit "B." Based on parking calculations by types of uses for the commercial center, the
total number of parking spaces required is 934. There is a shortfall of 57 spaces. Because
Buildings 11, 12, and 16 are in design review process, the applicant agreed to reduce the
square footage for Building 16 in order to meet the parking requirements. Staff has placed
an appropriate condition of approval in the attached Resolution requiring parking per City
code.
E Environmental Assessment: The application is exempt per Section 15301 of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Planner approve Conditional Use Permit
99-22 with conditions through the adoption of the attached Resolution with Conditions.
