BY: Vicki Chilicki, Engineering Technician
SUBJECT: VACATION O1: A 6' WIDE EASEMENT FOR I:)RAINAGE PURPOSES,
V-165, LOCATED BETWEEN SEVENTtl STREET AND SIXTII STREET,
ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF TI[E RAILROAD SI'UR CROSSING FOR BOTH
10401 SEVENTH STREET AND 10404 SIXTH STREET - APN 209-262-16 AND
15.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On September 25, 1985/he City accepted a 6' wide drainage casement along the west side of an
industrial building. The flows from Seventh Street were intercepted by a catch basin and transferred
to a rectangular gutter through an 15" RCP pipe. The flows were then channeled to Sixtit street
through tile gutter.
I it August, 1991 the City constructed a 30" storm drain widtin a 12' storn~ drain easement west of
the 6' storm drain casement. The 15" lateral was abandoned and the existing catch basin connected
to the new 30" stom~ drain.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staffrccomnmnds that the Planning Commission make tile finding. through minute action, that the
vacation conforms v,'ith the General Plan. This finding will be forwarded to the City Council for
further processing and final approval.

C. Site Characteristics: The subject site consists of 2 of the 11 Planning Areas within the
Empire Lakes Subarea 18 Specific Plan. The first area. Planning Area VIII. is 22.7 acres
located on the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Milliken Avenue. The second area.
Planning Area X, is 23.7 acres located west of Milliken Avenue, south of the rail road. and
includes approximately 10 acres developed as the Metrolink commuler rail station. The sites
contain active vineyards and undeveloped land.
ANALYSIS:
A. Backqround: The Empire Lakes Subarea Specific Plan was adopled by the City in 1994 to
provide a strategic, creative approach to address a pending vacancy of close to 1 million
square feet oi' office space and 300 acres of adjacenl vacant properties known as the
General Dynamics properties. The Specific Plan is designed to allow an adaptive re-use of
/he General Dynamics properties wilh a championship golf course (Empire Lakes Golf
Course) as the central theme. and a variety of supporting land uses surrounding the golf
course. The City and General Dynamics entered into a Development Agreement in 1994 Io
facilitate and implement the re-use and development of the area. The Empire Lakes Specific
Plan and Development Agreement include specific requirements and streamlined review of
projects. This application is being processed pursuant to the procedures in the Specific Plan
and Development Agreement.
The Subarea 18 Specific Plan was approved by City Council through adoption of their
Ordinance No. 525, which requires preparation of supplemental design guidelines. The
guidelines must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and are the subject
of a separate staff report on Ionight's agenda.
The Specific Plan requires a Master plan for each planning area at Ihe time of first subdivision
or development application. Once the Planning Commission approves Ihe Master Plan,
individual projects/buildings wilhin the area are subject to Cily Planner review and approval.
Development applications are exempted by lhe Specific Plan from lhe Design Review
Committee and are subject to review by lhe Technical Review and Grading Committees only.
B. General: The proposed Masler Plan indicates conceplual building locations, general land
uses. and circulation. The Master Plan is intended to serve a general conceptual guideline
for future development activities within the subject planning area. and is not intended to
"carve in stone" rigid development limitations. General Dynamics is not proposing specific
users or construction of buildings at this lime. Future development will be subject to separate
design review procedures. The Master Plan allows the parcel maps in the related
applicalions to be considered by the City.
C. Analysis: The attached Master Plan presents the design vision for the two planning areas
and shows lhe development potential of the sites. The master plan effectively articulates the
goals of the Specific Plan and is consistent with Ihe developmenl slandards and design
guidelines. The master plan highlights important standards and design requiremenls, such
as selbacks, golf course edge treatment. outdoor employee eating areas, truck loading. trailer
parking, and the use of two primary building materials. The Master Plan includes a "zero"
side yard setback to allow buildings to be joined in three areas, between Lots 2 and 3. Lots 6
and 7, and Lots 8 and 9. The Master Plan states that where development proposes zero

setbacks, all exposed property line walls shall be architecturally treated, even during interim
conditions. Staff added a clarification to the proposed tree palette (page 7 of the Masler
Plan) to indicate the street tree matrix is conceptual only, and that the actual tree species and
locations will be determined by the City. The Resolution of Approval includes the standard
condition that street trees shall be installed per City Standard in accordance with the City's
street tree program.
D. Environmental Assessment: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and
certified as a Master EIR for Subarea 18 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan in 1994. The
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Master EIR has been
certified. no further EIR or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects within the
scope of the Master EIR. A project will be considered "within the scope" of the Master EIR
if it is described within the document and will:
1. Have no additional significant effect on the environment that was not identified in the
Master EIR; and
2. Require no new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives.
Staff completed the Initial Study Part II and determined the project is within the scope ol the
Master EIR for Subarea 18 and that no additional significant effects. mitigation measures, or
alternatives are required. The appropriate Findings are included in the attached Resolution
of Approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval through adoption of the attached Resolution
of Approval. which includes an environmental determination that the project is within the scope of
the certified Master EIR for the site.

Planning Areas VIII
I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Rancho Cucamonga IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan (Specific Plan) is a
development concept for a mixed-use project comprised of approximately 380 acres.
The Specific Plan site is bordered by Fourth Street on the south. Milliken Avenue on
the east, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe (AT&SF) Railroad on the north, and
Cleveland Avenue and Utica Street on the west. The Specific Plan is commonly
referred to as the Empire Lakes Center Specific Plan. The Specific Plan was
prepared by the property owner, General Dynamics Propedies. Inc. (GD), and was
adopted by the City Council in July 1994. A Development Agreement stipulating the
responsibilities of both City and developer was adopted concurrent with the Specific
Plan. A wide range of uses are permitted throughout the Specific Plan area,
including recreation, hotel or conference center, retail, restaurant. entertainment,
office, research and development and light industrial.
The Specific Plan divides the project into distinct Planning Areas numbered I through
XI. The cornerstone of the Specific Plan is the Empire Lakes Golf Course, Iocaled in
Planning Areas IA and IB, which encompasses nearly 40 percent of the project
acreage. The provisions of the Specific Plan require that subsequent development
within Planning Areas III and V through XI would be accomplished via the
preparation of separate Master Plans. No Master Plan is required for Planning
Areas II and IV, or GD Buildings 601 and 602. In addition. to meet the requirements
of the Specific Plan. Supplemental Design Guidelines are required for the entire
380-acre site prior to or concurrent with any Master Plan approval.
A. Introduction
This Master Plan pertains to two of the planning areas, Planning Area VIII and X.
Planning Area VIII consists of 23 acres of land located at the southwest corner of
Sixth Street and Milliken Avenue. Planning Area X consists of 9 acres located
adjacent to the existing Metrolink Slation and west of Azusa Coud and Anaheim
Place.
The Master Plan for these planning areas responds to the requirements of the
Specific Plan and the marketing strategies developed by GD. The Master Plan has
been crafted in response to development inquiries that GD has received while
attempting to market individual planning areas over the past three years.
In discussions with potential developers, it became apparent Ihat there is a demand
for smaller development parcels in the range of one to three acres. To accommodate
these requests, GD has initiated a process to sub-divide the planning areas into these
Master Plan I ~ '
Planning Areas Vlll & X $ {i~ ~
smaller parcels. GD is also responding to the City's request to provide a temporary
parking site to accommodate the expansion of the Metrolink Station. The subdivision
of Planning Area X will create a 3 acre site for this purpose.
The Master Plan process presents a unique challenge for GD. The general purpose
of the Master Plan is to establish design parameters for the subsequent development
of the planning areas. These design considerations need to be established at a point
in time when no specified users have been identified. Further complicating this
process, both Planning Areas VIII and X permit a diverse range of potential land uses
including office, research and development, light industrial uses and commercial sites
for fast food restaurants or banking.
GD envisions that the majority of the proposed parcels will be developed by corporate
and/or high end research and development users. The Master Plan and the
associated Supplemental Design Guidelines have been designed ~o accommodate
individual property ownership without the need for an ongoing association to maintain
any portion of the properties.
The Master Plan is intended to conceptually present a design vision for the planning
areas. Subsequent detailed analysis of specific land use proposals, architecture and
design concepts are anticipated as individual parcels are developed. Consistent with
the administrative provisions of the adopted Specific Plan. these subsequent
development proposals will be reviewed and approved by the City slaff.
The Master Plan for Planning Areas VIII and X includes conceptual building locations.
overall circulation. points of ingress and egress to public streets, golf course edge
treatment. conceptual parking lot layouts, design concepts, conceptual architectural
guidelines, conceptual grading and drainage plans and subdivision plans. As
previously noted, land planning concepts and architectural designs for individual
parcels will be reviewed as pad of the subsequent planning review process.
I1. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The envelopes for future development within the Masler Plan areas are generally
defined by the setbacks regulating the properly. These setbacks are defined within
the Specific Plan and are presented in the following exhibits to assist the reader in
understanding the areas available for future development for each proposed parcel.
The application of the prevailing setbacks and the development standards presented
within Section 5 of the Specific Plan will establish the parameters for the site planning
of each proposed parcel.

IV. ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
The Architectural Guidelines are intended to create standards to ensure that the
development demonstrates an attractive, safe and enjoyable environment.
Consistency will also be created based on the architectural policies presented within
the Specific Plan. These guidelines are not intended to address every possible use
permitted within Planning Areas Vtll and X; rather, they are intended to provide a
framework for subsequent designers to consider when establishing individual
development themes.
A. Architectural Character
Buildings within Planning Areas VIII and X are envisioned to include a variety of
distinct architectural styles. These high-quality, contemporary buildings would be
situated within a "campus-style" business park setting and would be appropriate to
their proposed uses, location and site conditions. The architectural character of
buildings may reflect a distinct "corporate" image.
Ma~tcr Plan 8 .zt,~ --
Planning Areas VIII & X EMP,t~ LJ~IES
B. Building Mass
Exterior walls shall promote the use of openings and breaks to enhance articulation.
Exterior wall elevations should provide articulation through the use of openings and
recesses providing opportunities for texture and shadow patterns. Multiple story
buildings should relate to pedestrian scale, Roof lines should be articulated with
shorter elements to reduce apparent building massiveness.
C. Building Orientation
Buildings should orient their pedestrian entrances toward the interior street.
Buildings should also be oriented to take advantage of the golf course views through
the strategic placement of windows and/or plazas, Building configuration and
placement should create defined areas that can be adequately secured.
Nlastcr Plan
Planning Arcas VIII
D. Entries
Entries should be placed in obvious locations, adjacent to and visible from the
interior street. Additional creative architectural expression, including the use of both
formal and informal plazas, will be encouraged at the entry points.
,%,'faslcr Ph~n I0
Planning Arcas VIIi
E. Materials
Materials employed should be appropriate for the use and design concept of the
development. Materials used are expected to take into consideration form, scale,
location. consistency and function. A wide variety of solid building materials may be
selected from a palette of stone (natural, cut or stone veneer). masonry (brick, split
aggregate faced), textured concrete, or other materials that demonstrate a similar
architectural character. Glass will also be considered as a primary solid building
material. Each building is required to incorporate Ihe use of two variations of the
primary building ~naterials.
F. Colors
A variety of colors may be used ranging from neutral tones of white to deeper
shades of earth tones. The tasteful application of identifiable corporate colors, as
color accents, will be permitled. Colors and finishes should be coordinated on all
exterior elevations to achieve a total continuity of design.
G. Building Screening
In instances where development proposes the incorporation of zero setbacks, all
exposed property line walls shall be architecturally treated. If an exposed wall is
intended to be an interim condition to be screened by a future building, lhe interim
condition should be trealed, unless construction of both buildings is being
undedaken concurrently.
H. Windows
Use of daylight shall be considered in all buildings through the design of window
locations on exterior facades and interiors within "atrium" type structures. Proper
uses of daylight will enhance the potential for using low-consumption ~uorescent
lighting and time-controlled heating and air-conditioning units.

Outdoor employee eating areas shall be attractively designed and to the extent
possible, oriented in a manner to take advantage of existing views.
J. Signs
Signs should be architecturally integrated within the building design. The design of
signs, placement, materials, colors, Copy, size and construction details shall be in
compliance with the City Sign Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code).
K. Roof
Building design shall pay special attention to roof area treatments and materials.
Portions of flat roof areas may be considered for use as terraces. All exposed roof
material ballast or membrane will be color-coordinated with the building exterior
colors and shall be visually compatible with the surrounding area. Roof styles may
be fiat with parapet or sloped. Sloped roofs may use a variety of roofing materials
including metal-ribbed roofing or other high-quality materials that demonstrate
similar architectural character.

V. GRADING PLAN
A. Planning Area VIII
The existing topography of Planning Area VIII slopes gently from the north to the
south. The conceptual grading design attempts to utilize the existing terrain by
stepping the proposed pad elevations from the north to the south. The pads are
designed to drain from the back to front with a proposed slope of one percent (1%),
The proposed street grades will be southerly sloping with grades varying from one to
2.5 percent. The proposed grading along the westerly edge of the site (along the
Empire Lakes Golf Course) will contain minor slopes from the existing ground up to
the proposed pads. The conceptual grading plan has been designed to balance cut
and fill quantities and will therefore not require any export or import during the
precise grading design.

B. Planning Area X
The existing topography of the site slopes gently from the north to the south. The
conceptual grading design attempts to utilize the existing terrain. Parcel 1 of the
Tentative Parcel Map has the proposed design sloping from nodh to south at 1
percent. At the southerly end of the parcel. there is a proposed slope (2:1
maximum). Parcel 2 is proposed to be graded in a slightly different manner. This
design will commence at the north and slopes to the south at 3 percent. The design
flattens out to 1 percent through the middle of the site then increases to 3 percent
again towards the south end of the site into the existing street (Anaheim Place) and
through a sidewalk culvert.

VI. DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
A. Planning Area VIII
The existing drainage on Sixth Street flows from Milliken Avenue to the west.
Milliken Avenue drainage flows to the south. The proposed drainage of the site will
flow from each pad to the street. The conceptual drainage plan proposes a low point
in the knuckle of the proposed interior street. Two catch basins for collection will be
constructed to convey the water to an outlet pipe on the south of the site. The pipe

Comments:
a) The Master EIR indicates various storm drain improvements will be installed, as
development of the Specific Plan progresses. to convey the post-development on-
site storm flows into the existing storm drain facilities adjacent to the site. The
proposed storm drain facilities will be sized and located to conform to the City's
current storm flow conveyance policy. Tentative Parcel Map 15350 includes an
interim drainage de-silting basin, low-flow pipe, and rip-rap on the parcel south of the
subject site to accommodate surface flows until the properties Io lhe south are

Comments:
a) The Master EIR identified the increases in emissions from grading, equipment, and
vehicles associaled with conslruction in the projecl area will result in excesses of lhe
South Coast Air Quality Management Oislrict thresholds of significance. Numerous
air quality mitigation measures are adopted in the Master EIR. which are also
applicable to this project (use low-emission fuel, develop a trip reduction plan, dust
suppression, suspend grading during smog alerts, and others). However, even with
miligation. air qualily impacts are identified as signi6canl. unavoidable impacts
associated wilh the development of the project site under the Subarea Specific Plan.
A Statemenl of Overriding Consideraliens was adopied by the City in 1994 in
conjunction wilh certi~calion o1 the Masler EIR.

Comments:
a) The Master EIR includes a delailed discussion of traffic and circulation based upon
a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for lhe project. Subsequent development
projects within Specific Plan are required to contribute a traffic fee in accordance
with the City's adopted traffic impact fee program (Transportation Development
Impact Fee Ordinance No. 445) as the project's fair share contribution to circulation
improvemenls idenlified as necessary al the time of issuance of building permils.
The Master EIR concludes the Subarea Specific Plan will incrementally contribute
Io significant adverse cumulalive impacts on lhe regional circulation system. As a
result. continued developmenl in the region combined wilh the developmenl of the
proposed project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts on the regional
circulation system, A Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted by lhe
City in 1994 in conjunction wilh cerlification of the Master EIR.

Comments:
a) The Master EIR idenlil'ied the increases in emissions from grading, equipment. and
vehicles associatedwith construction in ihe projecl area will resull in excesses oflhe
South Coast Air Quality Managemen~ Dislrict thresholds of significance. Numerous
air quality mitigation measures are adoplod in the Master EIR, which are also
applicable Io this project (use low-emission fuel, develop a trip reduction plan. dust
suppression, suspend grading during smog ale,ls, and olhers). However, even with
mitigation, air quality impacts are idenlified as significant, unavoidable impacts
associated with the development el Ihe project si~e under the Subarea Speci6c Plan.
A SIalemenl el Overriding Considerations was adopied by the City in 1994 in
conjunction with cedi6cation of the Masler EIR.
6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the

Comments:
a) The Master EIR includes a detailed discussion of traffic and circulation based upon
a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the project, Subsequent development
projects within Specific Plan are required to contribute a traffic fee in accordance
with the City's adopted Iraffic impact fee program (Transportallen Development
Impact Fee Ordinance No. 445) as the projecrs fair share contribution Io circulalion
improvements identified as necessary at the time of issuance of building permits.
The Master EIR concludes the Subarea Specific Plan will incrementally contribute
to significant adverse cumulative impacts on Ihe regional circulation system. As a
result. continued development in the region combined with Ihe development of the
proposed project would result in signi~canl and unavoidable impacts on the regional
circulation system. A Statement of Overriding Consideraliens was adopted by the
City in 1994 in conjunction with certificalion of the Master EIR,
7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered. threatened. or rare species or their
habitats (including. but not liralied to: planls. fish.
insects. animals. and birds)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
b) Locally designated species (e g. heritage trees.

eucalyptus grove. sage scrub habilat. elc.)? ( ) (x)
d) Wetland habitat (e.g.. marsh, riparian. and
vernal pool)? ( ) (x)
e) Wildlife dispersal or migralion corridors? ( ) (x)
Comments:
a) The Master EIR includes a biological assessment of plan~ communities. wildlife and
plant species. and .,,vildhfe habila[s present. Focused surveys for the Delhi Sands
flower loving fly. San Diego horned lizard. and orange-lhroated whiploll were
conducted and indicate Ihal no signi~canl hobliar will be impacted by the
development of the projecl. The projecl site has been subslantially dislurbed from
decades of agricultural activities. In addition. the project site is isolated from
important natural open space areas. receives human disturbance. and lacks native
plant communities. The Masler EIR states that no significanl impacts on biological
resources will result from construction of the project s~le; therefore. no mitigalion
measures are recommended for biological resources onsile,

CITY OF RANCt IO CUCAMONGA --
STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 25, 1999
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Warren Morelion, Planning Aide
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-35 - ROBERT A FREIS - A request to construct a
7,549 square foot single family home on .74 acres of land within the gated King
Ranch Estates (Tract 10277) in the Very-Low Residential District, located at 5073
Earl Court - APN: 1061-791-09. Related File: Tree Removal Permit 99-19.
ANALYSIS:
A. Applicable Requlations: The construction of the project will result in a cut of more than 10
feet in vertical depth and a cut and fill of more than 2,300 cubic yards. Because the cut and
fill exceed 5 feet and 1.500 cubic yards of soil, this project requires Planning Commission
review and approval according to the Hillside Development Regulations (Section
17.24.020. B.2&3 of the Development Code).
B. Backqround: The site is Lot 23 of Tract 10277. which is a 30-lot subdivision in a private gated
community. The tract was approved ;n 1981 and prior to adoption of the Hillside Development
Regulations. There are 9 vacant lots including the site remaining within the tract. They are
rough graded with house pads. A survey of existing houses within the tract showed that there
is a mix of single, and two-story homes with tuck-under garages. Many of the homes also use
terraced walls and contour grading to address the hillside conditions and soften the
appearances.
C. Proposed Project: The applicant proposes to build a single story home with a tuck-under
garage. The footprint of the single story house extends beyond the previously rough graded
pad area, which resulted in additional grading. Consistent with the existing houses within the
tract, the applicant proposes to use terracing walls, contour grading of the slopes, and
additional landscaping to soften the appearance of the project and address the hillside
conditions.
D. Desiqn Review Committee: On August 3.1999, the Committee (Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong)
reviewed the project and acknowledged that it is within a tract previously subdivided and
graded, prior to the Hillside Development Regulations. The Committee accepted the grading
concept with the condition that the applicant incorporate terraced walls and contour grading
and provide additional landscaping to screen and soften the size of the project and as shown
in Exhibit "G."

E. Tree Removal Permit 99-19: The eastern portion of the site is a 60-foot wide easement that
contains a natural drainage feature, and a block wall that separates it from the buildable
portion. In front of this wall is a row of Eucalyptus trees (ten total}. The applicant proposes
to remove them and has submitted photos to demonstrate that the trees are infested with the
"Lerps" insects and as shown in Exhibit "H." Attached is general information regarding this
species of insect. Staff recommends removal of the trees with replacements at a ratio of one
to one.
F. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, pursuant to Section 15301 of the Slate CEQA
Guidelines.
CORRESPONDENCE: On August 3, 1999, the City received a letter from King Ranch Estates
Homeowners' Association approving plans for the development of the proposed single family home
on Lot 23 of Tract 10277(Exhibit "B").
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review No. 99-35 and Tree

.. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
8:30 p.m. Nancy Fong/~Varren Morelion August 3, t 999
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-35 - ROBERT A. FREIS - A request to conslruc( a 7,549 square fool
single family home on .74 acres of land within lhe gated King Ranch Estates (Tract 10277) in the
Very Low Residential District. located at 5073 Earl Courl - APN: 1061-791-09. Relaled File: Tree
Removal Permit 99-19.
BackOround and Desiqn Parameters: The site is Lot 23 of Tract 10277, which is a 30-1ol
subdivision in a private gated communily. The Iract was approved. prior Io Ihe adoption of the
current Hillside Development Regulalions. There are 9 vacanl lots including lhe project site
remaining wilhln Ihe tract. They are roughed graded wilh house pads. On Ihe east side of Ihe tract
is a nalural drainage feelure approximalely 60 feel wide. This drainage lealure reduces the
buildable area of lhe silo to .53 acres. and as shown in Exhibil 'A.' A 6-tool block wall and a
Eucalyptus windrow separale the buildable portion of Ihe silo and Ihe nalural drainage easemenl.
The applicant proposes Io build a single slory home wilh a luck under garage. The conslruction
of his proposed house will have a cul oil0 feel and a cul and fill of more than 2330 cubic yards of
din. Because the cut and fill exceed 5 feel and 1500 cubic yards. Ibis application requires Design
Review Committee review and recommendation and Planning Commission action, according to the
Hillside Development Regulalions in Ihe Development Code. The purpose o{ lhe review is Io
ensure Ihal Ihe proposed project meets the inlenl of Ihe Hillside Development Regulalions.
.Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an oulline for Commitleo
discussion.
Meier Issues: The following broad design issues will be lhe focus of Commltlee discuss/on
regarding this proiecl:
1. Gradlnq: The IDolprint of Ihe single story house wilh a luck under garage extends well
beyond lhe previously rough graded pad area. which resulled in excessive culling. 2 Io I
slopes. and high retaining walls. The primary Issue Is whether the proposed project
meets the inlent of lhe Hillside Developmenl Regulalions. The purpose el the Hillside
Develolamenl Slandards is to minimize grading and building mass. A survey of existing
houses in King Ranch Esta Ies showed Ihal they are two-slory wilh some houses having luck-
under garage. Most of lhe lois used letraced relaining walls. rounded contours and
undulalion (a mix of 2 Io 1, 3 Io 1. 4 to 1) of slopes to soften the hillside areas. To address
the Hillside Developmenl Standards. Ihe applicanl could reduce Ihe size of the house to
wilhin lhe already rough graded pad. which would reduce Ihe amounl Of grading, To lurther
reduce grading, the driveway could be moved back Io the original location. which is almosl
al the middle of Ihe silo. then loop soulhward to the luck under garage and as shown in
Exhibil 'B.' The only signilicanl grading left I0 do is the proposed luck under garage.
Secondan( Issues: Once all el/he major issues have been addressed. and tlmo permitllng. lho
Commitlee will discuss the Iollo,,ving secondary design issues:
1. Grading. The Iollowlng requirements are a minimum Ihat must be addressed whelher or nol
lho lootprint of the proposed house is reduced:
a. Provide contour grading and undulation and modulation el slopes with a mix Of 2 Io
3 Io I. 4 Io I and 5 Io I. This would solten tho hard edges left by cul and fill and give
/he finished conlouts a natural look.
b. Provide dense and marure landscaping for any slopes crealed by the pro~aosed grading.

, c. Reduce the helghl ot the retaining walls by lerracing or slepping (hem for the up slopes
and down slopes of the site. The maximum retaining height is 3 leel separated by a 3-
loot landscaped area.
d. Provide 3-loot or lower relainlng/decorative walls for holding back Ihe 2 Io 1 slopes and
for framing Ihe driveway. which would ereale a formal entry Iheme.
e. The approval of Ihe Iract required Ihe preservation el exisdng frees. The applicant
proposes Io removal all Eucalyplus trees along Iho easl wall. Stall believes lhal many
of the Irees should be preserved in place.
Slatt Recommendation:
Slalf recommends lhat with Ihe secondary issues addressed Ihe proposed proice[ meets Ihe intent
of Ihe Hillside Development Regulalions. Stall recommends that Ihe existing Irees be preserved
as many as possible.

DATE: August 25, 1999
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Rebecca Van Buren, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: EMPIRE LAKES DESIGN GUIDELINES - GENERAL DYNAMICS PROPERTIES -
Review of supplemental design guidelines for the Subarea 18 Specific Plan, a 380
acre Mixed Use project surrounding the Empire Lakes Golf Course, and bounded
by Milliken Avenue, Fourth Street, Utica Avenue, and the Metrolink railroad. Related
files: Development Review 99-39 and Tentative Parcel Maps 15350 and 15346.
BACKGROUND: The Empire Lakes Subarea Specific Plan was approved by City Council through
adoplion of Ordinance No. 525, which requires preparation of supplemental design guidelines. The
guidelines must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. The intent of the
guidelines is to "create a distinguishing character for the Empire Lakes project" through such
unifying design concepts as entry statements, signage, and street furniture.
ANALYSIS: The attached supplemental design guidelines identify design concepts for entry
statements, street furniture, and project fencing. The proposed designs and materials are
consistent with the amentries provided for the Empire Lakes Golf Course and Country Club facility.
The applicant does not intend to construct project identification monument signs; hence, no sign
designs are proposed. The applicant believes that the land use flexibility of Subarea 18 Specific
Plan, which allows a range of uses from industrial to commercial. desea, es careful consideration
of sign design in conjunction with each development project. Staff agrees that the sign needs of a
shopping center are quite distinct from those of an industrial warehouse. Rather, the guidelines
illustrate where such signage may be constructed by each parcel owner, but do not identify specific
design elevations.
Staff worked closely with the applicant in the preparation of Ihese guidelines and believes they will
ensure a unifying character through landscape and hard scape design. It should be noted that the
Subarea 18 Specific Plan has extensive design guidelines and the attached guidelines are truly a
supplemental document, which must be considered in light of the whole Further, the "master plan"
process will refine the individual design solutions for each planning area.

I. SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
The intent of this document is to supplement the "Design Guidelines" portion of the Specific
Plan for Rancho Cucamonga IASP Sub-Area 18 as required in Ordinance No. 525, (Page
3, sub-paragraph 4), which is as follows:
"The applicant shall prepare supplemental design guidelines to create a
distinguishing character for the 380 acre project. The guidelines shall include
unifying design concepts for entOl statements, signage and street fumiture (e.g.,
lighting standards, bollards, benches, etc.) The guidelines shall be submitted for
review and approval by the Planning Commission prior to application for
development of any planning area, except the goff course."
The Specific Plan clearly identifies Empire Lakes Golf Course as the cornerstone and
unifying feature of the project area. In developing thematic elements pursuant to the
requirements of the Specific Plan, it is important to recognize that a variety of
developments already exist within the Specific Plan area. This development includes the
Empire Lakes Clubhouse. parking area and maintenance building. the General Dynamics
Properties. Inc. (GD) Buildings 601 and 602 with associated parking area, and the City of
Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Station.
Recognizing the existing development, the intent of this document is to create an overall
distinguishing theme for the project area, while not dictating an exact design that must be
followed. The individual property owner/developer will have the flexibility to make a unique
statement while adhering to basic design parameters. Also suggested in this supplement
are treatment statements for major project gateways and major/minor parcel entries.
conceptual wall and fence designs along the golf course and parcel boundaries. benches to
be used along public rights-of way, as well as bollards and trash receptacles.
The "Master Plan" process, as described in the Specific Plan. will be used to further define
the individual development solutions to the proposed design guidelines. Master Plans will
be submitted for each planning area (with the exception of Planning Area II, IV and GD
Buildings 601 and 602) at the first development/design review. The Master Plan process
for each planning area is to include conceptual design guidelines to indicate architectural
forms. landscape concepts, plazas, pedestrian circulation and areas for common use.
