The primary, goal of the March of Dimes this year is to improve the health of babies, including new born screening tests to help premature babies breathe. The long-term goal of the March of Dimes is to ensure that all babies will be born healthy, free from illness or birth defects.

RECOMMENDATION That the City Council conduct a public hearing and take public testimony regarding the application for funding and direct staff to prepare a final draft Action Plan to be brought back at a subsequent meeting for final adoption (see Exhibit "C" for the Draft Action Plan). BACKGROUND Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG) are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to cities and counties based on a formula which considers the community's population, extent of poverty, and age of housing stock. To be eligible for CDBG funding, activities must meet one of the two primary goals of the CDBG program: 1. The development of viable urban communities including decent housing and a suitable living environment; and 2. The expansion of economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. In addition, CDBG regulations provide that at least 70 percent of all funds must be directed to activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Of the activities proposed for the fiscal year 1997-98, 100 percent benefit low-and moderate-income persons. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG - FUNDING FY 1997-98 March 19, 1997 Page 2 This year's estimated grant allocation of $984,000 represents a $14,000 or 1.4 percent reduction from last year's grant amount. Last year's grant was reduced by 2.5 percent or $26,000 from the previous year. The City received 35 proposals of which 19 were public service-related activities. In evaluating the proposals, first priority was given to those projects which are consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's Five Year Consolidation Plan and that were in progress or on-going. (Attachment "A'° is a list of the proposals received and the funding recommendations. Attachment "B" is a summary description of each of the proposals). Please note, shaded areas on the left side of this Exhibit highlight newly requested programs, shaded areas on the right indicate programs which may merit additional consideration through City Council re-programming action if additional funds are made available. Capital Improvement: The following capital improvement projects are recommended for funding for Fiscal Year 1997-98: Tapia Via Drive Construction - Provide additional funds to those allocated last year to allow completion of the project. (Funds were moved from this project when the City's grant allocation was reduced). Monte Vista Street between Amethyst Street and Archibald Avenue (Design) - Staff conducted a special survey to qualify this area - begin the design process. Catle Vejar from Avenida Leon to Hellman Avenue and Avenida Leon from Arrow Highway to Calle Vejar - begin design process. -Sidewalk Grinding - Involves the grinding of displaced sidewalk and repaidreplacement in qualified target neighborhoods. - Wheelchair Ramps - Retrofitting of existing curbs to accommodate handicapped persons. Capital Facilities: Community facility improvements are intended to be provided, to the extent possible, based on CDBG eligibility requirements. While the Lions Center complex is not located in a qualified low income target area, handicap improvements to the facility are eligible. Funds to complete the extensive improvements to bring the Lions Center into ADA compliance have been banked for the last four years. Additional facility improvements recommended include the following: The design and construction of a new parking lot on the vacant property located directly east of the Rancho Cucamonga Senior Center; the design of landscape and irrigation improvements at the Rancho Cucamonga Senior Center; the design for the future expansion and extensive renovation at the Rancho Cucamonga Senior Center; and construction of improvements on the assistance league parking lot located west of the Rancho Cucamonga Senior Center for overflow parking. Home Improvement: The City's Home Improvement Program has been in existence since 1990. The program offers deferred payment loans of up to $25,000 and grants of up to $5,000 for low- income, owner occupied, single family and mobile homes. Since the program's inception there has been an overwhelming response for assistance from both the single family and mobile home community. There are currently 55 residents on CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG - FUNDING FY 1997-98 March 19, 1997 Page 3 waiting list for single family rehabilitation and 29 residents on the mobile home waiting list. Public Services: Federal Regulations allow communities to use up to 15 percent of their annual grant allocation to fund public service activities. The amount recommended for FY 1997-98 is $73,149 or 7.4 percent of the estimated allocation. (The new year allocation amount is reduced slightly due to reprogramming funding this year). The programs that are recommended meet the priority of assisting in immediate public health and safety needs or address a special needs area identified in the Consolidated Plan and include assistance such as food, shelter, youth-at-risk assistance and senior services. CORRESPONDENCE Notice of the public hearing and proposed funding allocations were published one month prior to the meeting on February 20, 1997, in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin as a display ad. Notice was also published in the La Voz and La Opinion newspapers as display ads. Additionally, notices were posted in several community areas including the Civic Center, Lions Center, the Rancho Cucamonga Senior Center and the Rancho Cucamonga Publlic Library.

RESOURCES AVAILABLE Federal Resources Community Development Block Grant Community Development Block Grant funds are the primary source of Federal Funds available to the City during the coming year. The City's grant allocation available for this year is expected to be $984,000, which is $14,000 less than in 1996-97. The City does not expect to receive any additional program income during the 1997-98 program year. San Bernardino County Housing Authority The San Bernardino County Housing Authority serves as the local housing authority for the region. The Agency currently operates over 5-,000 Section 8 housing units and has developed, or is in the process of developing, approximately 151 affordable units. The Agency currently owns 16 single family homes in Rancho Cucamonga and rents them to qualified households at affordable rents. Sources of funds available to City residents through the Housing Authority would include funds for the Section 8 CertificateNoucher Program as well as Comprehensive Grant Improvement Funds. County of San Bernardino Department of Economic and Community Development The County receives Federal funds to implement a HOME Consortium. The City joined the County consortium in July 1995. Based on an approximate distribution of the HOME funds, utilizing the CDBG formula, the City's share of funds will be approximately $263,746 of the County's total allocation of $3,365,000. The programs offered are on a first come first serve basis and therefore, it is possible that program benefits to residents of one community may exceed those indicated in the allocated amounts. Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 2 City of Rancho Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga Other Resources The Redevelopmerit Agency State law requires redevelopment agencies to set aside at least 20 percent of tax increment revenue for increasing and improving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. Between July 1, 1994 and June 30, 1999, approximately $23 million dollars will be generated by tax increment for affordable housing. Tax increment revenue for 1997-1998 is expected to be $5,082,930. However, it should be noted, that the Agency's tax increment has already been pledged against several on-going projects, and therefore, there is actually very little un-obligated funding available for Fiscal Year 1997-98. In July of 1996, the Agency approved in concept, the sale of tax allocation bonds to provide permanent financing for two community based non-profit organizations, Southern California Housing Development Corporation (SCHDC) and Northtown Housing Development Corporation, located within the City for affordable housing purposes. This amended all prior pledge agreements and proceeds are used as replacement financing for both agencies. On September 1, 1996, the Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $37.66 million were sold. The total pledge amount from the bond proceeds is 3.6 million annually, combined for both Northtown Housing Development Corporation and Southern California Housing Development Corporation. Proceeds of the bonds will be allocated in the following manner: 1. A pledge agreement through the year 2025 was signed with the SCHDC in which $783,333 will be provided annually for five years. Beginning year 6, if the provision of Redevelopment Law that allows for the acquisition of existing units with Housing Set- Aside funds has been extended beyond its current sunset, this $433,333 will be deposited into a "Future Project Reserves" fund for use in acquiring additional apartment complexes within the Project Area. If a program is not developed, the funds will be available for any Agency housing program. 2. In addition, the Agency negotiated a pledge agreement through the year 2025 with NHDC in which 1.5 million was paid to NHDC on June 30, 1996 and again on December 30, 1996. Additionally, 5 million in net bond proceeds were paid to NHDC. These bond proceeds will be used to complete a portion of the capital improvement plan for the North Town neighborhood which includes continuing development of in~ll housing on vacant lots, acquisition and rehabilitation of existing absentee-owned housing, and the completion of Las Casitas apartments. In addition, the annual pledge amount will be 1.4 million through the year 2025. Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 3 City of Ranctto Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga Leveraging and Matching Funds The primary source of fund leveraging will occur in conjunction with activities carried out through the Redevelopment Agency with 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. This is accomplished through public/private partnerships with non-profit housing development corporations such as the North Town Development Corporation and the Southern California Housing Development Corporation. Other potential sources for leveraging include HOME Funds and Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan 7~ Page 24 City of Rancho Cucamonga C,"ty of Rancho Cucamonga OTHER ACTIONS Obstacles to Meeting Under-Served Needs The primary obstacle identified toward meeting under-served needs was a lack of available resources. However, this is and will continue to be an issue. The best way to address this matter is to combine efforts and resources and tap new funding sources. The City is striving to do all three by forming public/private partnerships as well as seeking out new sources of funding, such as HOME Funds in order to better leverage available funding. Actions to Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing The majority of the Objectives and Actions identified as part of this plan are specifically aimed at increasing or maintaining the City's existing affordable housing stock. Activities such as new construction, conservation of at-risk units, and preservation of existing units are all striving to increase the affordable housing stock. Actions to Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing There were no significant barriers to affordable housing identified that would need to be revised or ameliorated. All of the regulations and policies currently in-place are necessary in order to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare. Actions to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazard In conjunction with the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City will continue to implement current Federal requirements concerning lead-based paint reductions. HUD requires that for any program utilizing CDBG Funds, all owners and/or tenants be notified in writing about the dangers of lead-based paint. In addition, units constructed prior to 1978, which are occupied by children under the age of 7, are inspected for defective paint surfaces. If a child residing in the home has an elevated blood lead level, then defective chewable surfaces will be treated and lead abated. It is also recommended that housing rehabilitation efforts carried out by the Redevelopment Agency also follow the same guidelines as those used for the CDBG Home Improvement Program. Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 25 City of Rancho Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga Actions to Reduce Poverty Generally, the City has relatively little control over the many factors which may affect the determination of an individual's income level. The primary activity that may be utilized by the City toward this end would be the support of public service agencies that incorporate job training and life development skills into their programs, which includes most of the agencies currently receiving funding from the City. Additionally, most of the activities funded by the City, particularly those related to non-housing community development, act indirectly to increase economic development in the City. Additionally, the City, through its CDBG contract activities, complies with Section 3 requirements encouraging the employment of local low income individuals. From a housing perspective, all of the priorities, objectives, and programs aimed at increasing affordable housing will hopefully increase the stock of housing available to those in the lowest income categories. Actions to Develop Institutional Structure and Enhance Coordination The Consolidated Plan evaluated gaps in the institutional structure and actions that might be taken to strengthen the system. It was determined that one main action that can be taken toward this end is the increasing expertise of staff and the Council which in turn will increase efficiency and effectiveness. An additional activity would be to increase contact and coordination among internal City Departments. The City shall continue to encourage direct contact between itself and the Public Housing Agency and other service providers operating in the region. Most of the coordination efforts in the west end are tied to funding resources and the type of service provided. Public Housing Improvements Each year the City reviews the Annual Comprehensive Grant application submitted by the Housing Authority in that the City must certify consistency of the activities with the goals and objectives of the CHAS and now the Comprehensive Plan. Monitoring Monitoring serves as an effective tool to ensure that Federal funds are being spent in a manner consistent with the National Objectives of the CDBG program and that programs and projects are achieving stated goals. The following outlines the basic monitoring requirements that are followed in implementation of the CDBG program: Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 26 City of Rancho Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga Standards Utilized for Review · Is the program meeting intended objectives? · Is the agency capable of tracking/documenting necessary benefit information and is it capable of carrying out the responsibilities of its program consistent with Federal requirements? · Is appropriate documentation submitted correctly in a timely manner? Monitoring Procedures CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS All construction projects are expected to comply with Federal labor and procurement procedures as well as the various affirmative action and equal opportunity requirements required by various Federal and state laws. To ensure this end, the CDBG staff has developed a Procurement and Contract Compliance Manual that outlines in detail the various procedures and steps required as part of contract management. Additionally, the CDBG coordinator oversees and reviews contract preparation at each step from bid preparation, contract document preparation, pre-construction meetings, and on-going project inspections, including review of weekly payroll documents. SUBRECIPIENT AGENCIES All subrecipient agencies must sign a contract with the City in which the scope of work, time line, and documentation requirements are outlined. Agencies must submit detailed information regarding number and type of individuals benefitted with City CDBG funds on a monthly basis. Additional quarterly summation reports are required of some agencies in which further information is provided on activities accomplished in the past quarter. Finally, the City conducts an on-site inspection of each agency at least once a year, preferably toward the end of the funding cycle. Other Activities Generally, other activities funded through the CDBG program that do not fall under the above headings, are required to provide adequate documentation to ensure that appropriate eligible individuals are benefitting from the program and that all appropriate Federal procurement regulations are being followed. This is generally accomplished through the provision of monthly activity reports and through continual review of activities with the CDBG Coordinator. Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 27 City of Rancho Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga Fair Housing The City has contracted with the Inland Mediation Board since 1984 to provide education and enforcement of State and Federal housing laws for all residents who request assistance. Having Inland Mediation Board administer, the City°s Fair Housing Program assures that there are no impediments to fair housing choices in the program. in addition, affirmative outreach to program applicants most likely to experience impediments to fair housing choices at the hands of private individuals is assured, since the Inland Mediation Board routinely targets its fair housing program outreach programs to such persons. Recently, Inland Mediation Board conducted an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. A summary of the analysis is attached as Exhibit "A." Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Page 28 City of Rancho Cucamonga APPENDIX 77 EXHIBIT A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING A literature search was conducted in several areas; housing discrimination, City of Rancho Cucamonga Housing Element, the Grantee Performance Report 1994-1995, Federal and State fair housing laws, area demographics, national, State and local housing policies, public housing, 1990 census data, historical racial housing problems in renting and real estate purchases, zoning and discrimination correlation. Surveys were used to accumulate the data base. These surveys were formulated to gather information on housing discrimination, fair housing knowledge, quality of the present housing, and other information which could help housing policy makers to identify problem areas. 1. Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data was requested from eight lenders. 2. Eight lenders showed activity within the City. 3. Individual interviews were completed with tenants, property management and owners, and realtors. 4. Additional information and statistical data was contributed by CDBG City staff, County of San Bernardino Housing Authority, California Department of Fair Employment and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Housing Division. FINDINGS The data compilation identified the following major findings: Discrimination Issues · lack of understanding fair housing laws/differential treatment; · unequal terms/differential treatment; · buyer refusal; · lenders HMDA data tracking; and · tracking lender's housing loans. Page 30 7(5:} Housing Issues · affordable housing (both rental and for purchase); · neighborhood safety; · housing and rental deterioration in neighborhoods; · transportation; and · good schools. FAIR HOUSING ACTION PLAN The following plan of action outlines strategies reflecting the survey findings. Workable objectives have been identified in Rancho Cucamonga's Impediments to Fair Housing.

Page 32 CITY OF RANCHO CUCA~MONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: March 19, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 12.16 TO TITLE 12 PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF NEWSPAPER RACKS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF- WAY. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council introduce the ordinance for first reading tonight. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In the past year, a number of newspaper and magazine racks have appeared within the public right-of- way. These newsracks were installed without review by the City. Typically these newsracks have been located on the public sidewalk near an intersection. The City currently has no ordinance in place to deal with newsracks. Newsracks are permitted to be located on public sidewalks under the protection of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment as well as similar provisions in Califomia's Constitution. Basically, while the City may not totally prohibit newsracks on public property, the manner and extent of such activity may be regulated by reasonable location criteria. The attached article discusses the regulation of newsracks (see Exhibit "A")o SURVEY Staff conducted a survey of major streets within the community. A total of 22 newsracks were found, including 3 each at the Stadium and Metrolink Station. The largest concentration of newsracks were found at three locations: Red Hill Cafe, McDonalds on Foothill Boulevard, and the Post Office on Amethyst Avenue; however, these newsracks have been excluded from survey results because they are located outside the public right-of-way. PROVISIONS The City Attorney has drafted an ordinance which establishes reasonable "time, place, and manner" controls. The Ordinance initiates a permit process; placement and maintenance standards: and CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT NEWSRACKS - CITY OF R.C. March 19.1997 Page 2 penalties for violations, including impounding newsracks. The Ordinance would also prohibit certain matter from being displayed. If adopted, the Ordinance would require every owner of an existing newsrack to apply for and obtain a permit within 120 days of the effective date of the Ordinance. NOTICE All existing newsrack vendors were notified of this public hearing (see list in Exhibit "C").

O'Neil, City Engineer BY: John Martin, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 93-01- MASI RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that City Council conduct a/Public Heating for Assessment District 93-01, and direct the City Clerk to advertise the April ~ 1997, public hearing for the subject district no later than 10 days prior to the meeting. /7 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS This hearing was set at the February 24, 1997, City Council meeting, pursuant to the guidelines for public hearings established by the requirements of Proposition 218. Staff has completed the mailings of the Official ballots and instructions for the property owners within the district boundaries. To date, no ballots have been remmed for tabulation. The owners have until April 16 public heating to submit their ballots. Certificates of Compliance with the guidelines for such voting procedures have been completed. The notice for the time and date for the official public heating at which the ballots will be tabulated have also been mailed as required. The Maps and official Engineering reports have been completed and have been submitted to the City Engineer' s office for recording and review. Respectfully submitt?~7_L Willi~ City Engineer WJO:JM:dlw Memorandum City Manager's Office FrOm: Date: March 12, 1997 Subject: Satellite Police Reposing Of Hccs Last year, the staff recommended establishing satellite field reporting offices in various locations in the community in cooperation with the private sector. These satellite field offices, while not stations, will enable officers in the field to utilize the Digital Dictation System (D.D.S.) to make reports in the field rather than at the police station. This experimental approach is intended to: · Improve the efficiency of writing police reports · Increase proactive patrol times · Increase police visibility in the community · Increase community interaction A Federal Grant has been approved to fumish and equip the satellite reporting offices. Since receiving the grant, five field office locations have been negotiated at no rental cost to the City. A sixth location is pending. The City will pay the normal cost of utilities, etc. The attached report describes the entire program in greater detail and lists the sites for transponder location as well as the five field offices currently identified. The Federal Grant requires an Advisory Committee to review and endorse the program. An Advisory Committee with representation from the non-profit sector, local courts, local prosecutors, public schools, and law enforcement was created and recently met to endorse the program. Furthermore, a public hearing must also be conducted regarding the proposed program prior to implementation. Recommendation: The system has now been planned, the sites have been negotiated, the Advisory Group has met and endorsed the program. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and approve the implementation of the satellite field reporting office program. to( ~ TO: JACK LAM, A.L CP., CITY MANAGER CITY OF RANCHO C UCAMONGA FROM: RODNEYHOOPS, CHIEF OF POLICE RANCWO CUCAMONGA POLICE DEP SUBJECT: SATELLITE FIELD OFFICES/DIGITAL DICTATION SITES INTR OD UCTION The Pofice Department is continuously searching for programs that make our law enforcement operation within the City' of Rancho Cucamonga more cost effective and efficient. PR OJE CT DE FELOPMENT During the last year, the Police Department has assisted in the development of a unique report- writing ,system that when implemented will increase our proactive patrol time. This community-oriented poficing program is known as the "Digital Dictation System" (D.D.S.). At the present time, patrol officers must routinely return to the Station during their patrol shz.'~ to submit reports, conduct investigations, and interview suspects. Each of these activities remove the officer from his/her respective patrol beat. The basic concept of the DDS program will allow our patrol officers to electronically dictate their reports while remaining in the field. The "backbone" of the Digital Dictation System includes the use of six (6) satellite Police Stations and four (4) transmitter locations. SATELLITE LOCATIONS The six satellite locations will provide our patrol officers the opportunity to remain in the field. These store front locations can also be used by our Community &rvices Officers, Reserves, and Citizen Patrol Volunteers.

The satellite h~cations and transmission sites have been donated at no cost by various business and public entities throughout the City. PROJECT COMPLETION DATE The exact completion date is tentative at this time. We anticipate that this project will begin within the next ninety (90) to one-hundred (100) days. CONCLUSION The Digital Dictation 3~vstem is a "win-win "project. It willprovide for increased visibility of our Police operations within the community and will be accomplished with minimal cost to the constituents whom we serve. As service providers, we look forward to this project. CITY OF RANCHO CUCA:MONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: March 19, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Alan Warren, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: MR. DE BERARD'S REQUEST FOR LAND USE RECONSIDERATION At its meeting of January 22, 1997, the Planning Commission considered Jeffrey De Berard's request for additional commercial land at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Archibald Avenue (refer to attached staff report and meeting minutes). It was determined that there was not sufficient cause at this time for the Planning Commission to initiate a land use amendment in which to consider the issue. Mr De Berard has requested (see attached letter dated January 28, 1997) that the issue be forwarded back to the City Council for direction. If the City Council concurs with the Planning Commission's view that there is not sufficient cause or justification at this time for the expansion of commercial land in the area, the issue would rest with the proponent to make a formal application and provide additional evidence supporting the proposal. The Council may also, after review of the applicant's request and public input, direct staff to prepare an amendment. Amendment alternatives were presented in the report to the Planning Commission.

Sincerely, Jeffrey R. De Berard CITY OF RA2'4CHO CUCA~MONGA -- STAFF REPORT DATE: January 22, 1997 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Alan Warren, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF COMMERCIAL USES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ARCHIBALD AVENUE AND SIXTH STREET BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: On November 20, 1996, the City Council approved Industrial Specific Plan Amendment 95-04 that, as part of the Griffin Industries Cucamonga Cornerpointe project, authorized 5 acres of neighborhood commercial uses at the subject location. On December 4, 1996, the property owner, Mr. De Berard, requested that the City Council reconsider the decision and allow at least 10 acres of neighborhood commercial uses. The City Council determined that the Planning Commission should reevaluate the amount of commercial land appropriate for the area. Staffs recommendation for 5 acres Of commercial uses was based on the following issues: 1. Early in the project formulation, staff determined it would be a good idea to include a commercial component as one alternative for the City's consideration. Commercial seemed to be a viable alternative to provide some support retail uses for the expanded residential neighborhood. The project applicant did not propose any commercial development, nor did staff suggest a conceptual design for a commercial center. Instead, the Environmental Impact Report included 15 acres of "floating" commercial activity as one of four land use alternatives. 2. The commercial activities allowed in the industrial area are generally limited to those in support of industrial users. In many instances, staff is unable to approve business license applications in the industrial park area for commercial businesses directed at the general public. Staff anticipates an increased demand for resident-related commercial uses in the industrial park area because of the expanded residential neighborhood. To better accommodate this anticipated demand, staff proposed adding to Subarea 16's list of commercial uses. 3. The amount of commercial use recommended by staff, 5 acres, was the result of reviewing General Plan provisions for commercial designations. Neighborhood Commercial, which is the least intensive commercial land use, is intended to provide services for an immediate residential neighborhood. The suggested size for a neighborhood shopping center is 10 to 15 acres. It was not staffs intention, however, "ES" ( PLANNING CO,%IMISSION STAFF REPORT COMMERCIA' ~ S'v~C ARCHIBALD & SIXTH January 22.1997 Page 2 to design a neighborhood shopping center into the project, but merely allow for some expanded commercial activity for the residents. Within the General Plan Neighborhood Commercial designation there are provisions for Convenience Commercial centers at 2 to 3 acres in size. These centers are not specifically zoned as convenience commercial but can be authorized within the Neighborhood Commercial designation. Five acres appeared to staff as an appropriate amount of retail commercial within an industrial park to meet some of the neighboring residents' needs. It was not staffs intention to design a full neighborhood commercial center into the project. 4. The method of providing the commercial uses is intended to be permissive, not required. The property owner may include the commercial uses subject to a conditional use permit master plan. Staff believes it is important that these uses be logically placed within a larger industrial park to avoid a scattering of conflicting uses within a project. If the property owner wishes to provide commercial uses, it would be his responsibility to plan for them at (or near) the southwest corner of Archibald Avenue and Sixth Street. Staff felt this would be the most logical location. Because we did not specifically zone the area neighborhood commercial, the property owner does not have to include a commercial area within the ultimate development. The direction staff recommended was to allow for the flexibility of limited commercial development without mandating a typical neighborhood shopping center. The adopted provisions allow neighborhood commercial uses only in a designated area within a larger industrial park complex. Industrial park uses could move in and out of this commercial section. ALTERNATIVES: Because no new evidence was presented by Mr. DeBerard showing a definite need for a neighborhood center on his property, staff does not recommend increasing the amount of commercial land at this time. However, staff does recognize the potential for a larger than 5 acre neighborhood center, but without some market analysis could not support an increase.. Alternative approaches are as follows: 1. A General Plan Amendment and zone change could be processed to specifically designate an expanded area for the neighborhood commercial designation. However, this approach would not allow industrial park uses within the area so designated. 2. Allow for a larger area of neighborhood commercial uses within an industrial park project, an Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment could be processed to consider the following: a. Expand the commercial acreage limitation (5 acres) to a size (not exceeding 15 acres) the Planning Commission believes is appropriate, or b. Provide authority for the City Planner to accept a master plan CUP up to a specified acreage (maximum 15 acres) upon receipt cff a viable letter of intent to occupy a site near the corner from a neighborhood commercial user (food market or drug store) of at least 40,000 square feet floor area.

However, if the Commission believes that the recent changes are sufficient (given the present development situation) it would be appropriate to recommend that the property owner initiate formal consideration of the request with his own amendment application(s). The applicant would submit with his application a market study justifying the need to increase the average of commercial zoning.

RECONSIDERATtON OF COMMERCIAL USES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ARCHIBALD AVENUE AND SIXTH STREET (Related file Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment 95-04) Brad Bullet, City Planner, presented the staff report. Jeffrey DeBerard, P.O. Box 1757, Upland, read a letter to the Commission requesting they expand the commercial acreage limitation of 5 acres to 10 acres. Commissioner Macias asked Mr. DeBerard why he felt a market analysis is unnecessary. Mr. DeBerard felt a market analysis will be needed in the future. He pointed out a zone change is not being requested at this time, but an expansion of the current designation. Commissioner Tolstoy felt a change should be addressed at the time a specific project is brought forward. Chairman Barker asked the total acreage of the subject property. Mr. DeBerard responded 18.33 acres. Chairman Barker then asked what the plans are for the remainder of the property. Mr. DeBerard observed it is zoned for Industrial Park and he pointed out the requirement for a master plan for the entire parcel before any development can occur. Commissioner Bethel suggested that when a project is brought forward, the DeBerards not be required to pay for a zone change, but rather consider it as an expansion. He said there was still a policy issue on the need for an absorption study. Chairman Barker concuffed, stating Mr. DeBerard doesn't even have the promise of flexibility at this time; what is under discussion is the expansion of 5 acres of commercial use to 10 acres. Mr. DeBerard stated he requested the issue be addressed now because the zoning had just been changed. He said no development is planned at this time and they are actively farming the property. Mr. Buller noted that any decision other than the 5 acres would require an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan, which could be as simple as changing a 5 to a 10 but other alternatives could include completely zoning the parcel Neighborhood Commercial and taking it out of the Industrial category, or providing some flexibility subject to review and approval of a conditional use permit master plan at the time the applicant presents a project if the tenant mix requires more than 5 acres. He stated Mr. DeBerard does not have a project ready for presentation and even if the Commission gave him that flexibility today by minute action, no future Commission could be bound by that minute action, unless the code is amended. Mr. DeBerard asked why 5 acres was recommended instead of 107 Mr. Bullet responded the information could be found in the initial staff report. Mr. DeBerard felt the change was overlooked at the City Council level. Commissioner Macias asked Mr. DeBerard whether he currently had any plans ongoing for the subject property. Mr. DeBerard responded in the negative. Planning Commission Minutes -5- January 22, 1997 "C_" Commissioner Bethel noted the landowner was not responsible for initiating a zone change. He asked if the issue could be sent back to the City Council for a minute action. He concurred with Commissioner Tolstoy and felt an expansion should be project specific and asked how the Commission can give the landowner flexibility that will carry over to future Commissions. Mr. Buller indicated the only way to do this is to process an amendment. Commissioner Bethel recommended whatever process necessary to inform the City Council so the landowner does not have to initiate a zone change. He felt the landowner should not have to pay to initiate a zone change amendment when the City began the process. Chairman Barker pointed out there was no charge to the landowner for the initial 5 acres, but if more is requested by the landowner, he would then be responsible for those costs. He stated if the landowner comes in with a project, there should not be a problem with expanding the change to 10 acres. Mr. Bullet noted the minutes do offer a record of this Commission's decision. Chairman Barker agreed. Commissioner Tolstoy felt the decision should be made at the time a specific project is presented. Commissioner Macias concurred. Mr. Bullet stated the applicant can accept the intent and discussion of this Commission to support such a change by minute action, or request the initiation of a zone change amendment. Chairman Barker recommended, if the opportunity should present itself, a 10-acre parcel be designated as Commercial. It was the consensus of a majority of the Planning Commission that the City not initiate an amendment at this time, but wait until presentation of an actual project or more information to justify the request. I. 'I 'i" "i" 'I E. REVIEW OF ZONE CHANGE POLICIES FOR FOOTHILL BOULEVARD Mr. Buller presented a draft memorandum, as requested by the Commission, to the Mayor and Members of the City Council. Commissioner Bethel brought up the market analysis issue and asked that it be removed from the memorandum, with the understanding that it be discussed by the subcommittee. Commissioner Macias asked why the policy question regarding market analysis should be deleted and if Commissioner Bethel's objection involved determining who pays for it or the rationale for requiring it. Commissioner Bethel responded both. He stated a market analysis can be costly and unnecessary. He felt a market analysis should be determined on an as-needed basis. Chairman Barker cautioned this could result in preferential treatment. Commissioner Macias concurred. Planning Commission Minutes -6- January 22.1997//~ CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: March 19, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council, Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: Jenny Haruyama, Management Analyst, ,I--~,' SUBJECT: Council Chambers Television Studio System RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to bid up to $130,000.00 for the purchase of a television studio system for the Council chambers. In addition, it is also recommended that the City Council authorize the City to enter into a contractual agreement with the appropriate persons to provide technical assistance regarding the production and operation of the television studio system. B A CKG RO UND/AN AL Y SIS: The purpose of the proposed television studio system is to broadcast City Council meetings to the public. In November of 1996, the City entered into an agreement with the City of San Bernardino to provide research and design, installation, and testing services for the proposed Council chambers television studio system. The City of San Bernardino has provided the City with a list of equipment quotations from various vendors. The estimated cost of the proposed equipment is $122,933.03 per the attached document. Once the system has been installed and tested, the City will then need to contract for technical services to operate the television studio system equipment at the City Council meetings. It is estimated that this expense will amount to $7,000.00 per year. Purchasing personnel is also investigating possible maintenance warranties to cover all of the equipment. The total cost for this project including consultation services, equipment, and technical support staff is estimated to be $135,133.03. Below is a more detailed breakdown of the costs: · City of San Bemardino contract services for research, design, installation, and testing: $ 5,200.00 · Television Studio System Equipment: $122,933.03 · Annual cost for technical support staff: $ 7,000.00 TOTAL: $135,133.03 Per staffs discussion with the City Attorney, all costs, as indicated on the previous page, can be deducted from the PEG Access Fee Account, No. 70-276-501. According to Section 622, Subsection 2C, of the Cable Act of 1984, there is nothing in the law that precludes the City from using PEG Access Fee monies to contract personnel to operate the proposed television studio system. However, as a precaution, the City Attomey has advised the City to retain written approval from Marks CableVision regarding this matter. The approximate balance of the PEG account is currently $175,461.99. Staff expects to have the television studio system installed by the end of the fiscal year.

Twenty-three applications were received. The twenty-three applications were copied and distributed to the City Council for their review and interviews were set for March 4, 1997. The City Council then directed staff to call all of the applicants and advise them that due to the large number of applications received, the City Council would not be able to conduct all of those interviews on the evening of March 4, 1997 and that the City Council would re-discuss the Task Force at the March 19, 1997 City Council meeting. All applicants were called by staff. This item is on the City Council agenda for the Council' s discussion and further direction to staff. Re., ~e.ct itted, Ril ~ Co pment Director CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: 2/20/97 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Councilmember Biane and Councilmember Curatalo, As Members of the Cable TV Subcommittee SUBJECT: Government Access Policy/Guidelines RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Government Access Policy/Guidelines remain unchanged as RCTV-3 is not intended to be a public access channel and as a result, should continue to serve only local government, local public educational institutions, local public agencies and agencies whose events are co-sponsored by the City. ANALYSIS: It is true that there are many service, community and non-profit groups whose programs and activities contribute greatly to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. However, should the scope of the Government Access Policy/Guidelines be broadened to include service/community/non-profit organizations, the City would be faced with making the difficult decision of determining which groups' events best serve the community's needs. In addition, this type of policy change may make the City obligated to display the program/activity messages of all service/non- profit/community organizations, including those that are highly controversial. There is, however, an alternative for these groups. For a minimal fee, service/community/non-profit organizations can have their messages displayed through a public access forum by utilizing Channel 54. Therefore, it is for these reasons that the Government Access Policy and Guidelines should remain unchanged.

The Center will showcase natural habitats, wetlands, nature trails, citrus orchards and vineyards, and state of the art conference/banquet facilities. The Center will also feature special events, a weekly farmer's market, and a gift shop where visitors can buy produce, books, and other mementos to remind them of what they learned and saw. Jeff Wilson, District Manager for the Inland Empire West Resource Conservation District, has forwarded a letter to staff with specific information regarding the marketing of the Center. This letter is attached, along with the District's information packets for the City Council's review. As indicated in the packets of information, the District's purpose is to help all residents conserve and develop their natural resources through good conservation practices. Specifically, the District promotes urban innovations which include the following: Special programs to encourage conservation such as tree planting for urban forestry Water conservation through efficient landscape irrigation and plants Green waste recycling through various programs like Christmas Tree recycling, backyard composting and workshops, and educational materials Assistance to landowners and local government to protect water quality. The District has been contracted by the County of San Bernardino to provide public relations, awareness and educational services and programs for the County-wide Storm Water Program (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System). As the City Council is aware, the City of Rancho Cucamonga is a co-permittee with the County of San Bernardino and other valley cities to implement the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. I have also asked staff to research the legality and applicability of utilizing AB 939 funds for these purposes and have been advised that AB 939 funding could be utilized for this purpose. I am requesting that City Council consider approving participation in this project for Fiscal Year 1996-97 by utilizing a portion of the AB 939 Reserve fund for this project so that the current Fiscal Year 1996-97 budget is not affected.

Best Regards Jeff Wilson CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: March 19, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam. AICP, City Manager FROM: Suzanne Ota, Community Services Manager SUBJECT: INFORMATION REGARDING HIGH SCHOOL USE OF CHAFFEY COLLEGE STADIUM BA CKG ROUND/ANAL YSIS At the City Council meeting of March 5, 1997, concerns were raised regarding the restrictions instituted by Chaffey College for College Stadium use by the local high schools. The stadium at Chaffey College has been used by the College, the three (3) local high schools and non-profit youth sports and civic groups for many years. Although the high schools pay for stadium use, the College has begun restricting the stadium use due to overuse of the field, which have resulted in poor field conditions. The primary user of the College Stadium is, of course, the College and the three Rancho Cucamonga high schools which are a part of the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The local high schools use the facility to host football games. It is important to note the three local high schools negotiate use of the college stadium not the School District. The District provides stadiums at Chaffey and Montclair High Schools for District football games. It has been the preference of the local high schools to play closer to home. Therefore, the schools are responsible to pay the fees set by the College for use of the stadium. These fees are paid for by gate receipts and other services such as snack bar proceeds and support of the school booster clubs. In addition, local non-profit groups such as Pop Warner Football and AYSO have rented the College Stadium for games and opening day ceremonies. The local Rotary Club uses the facility annually for a youth track and field meet. Over the course of the last few years, the non-profit groups, except Rotary, have stopped using Chaffey--AYSO due to increased rental costs and Pop Wamer due to the wear and tear of the fields. CURRENT STATUS Chaffey College is in the process of renovating the College Stadium field. They have requested that the local high schools limit the amount of game usage starting this fall. The College has limited stadium field use to two games per week including the College games. Therefore, if the College has a home game on Saturday, the local high schools schedule would have to allow for only one high school game. The other school games would need to be away. Chaffey College also requires that a day of rest be placed between game days, creating more Thursday high school games. CITY COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION REGARDING HIGH SCHOOL USE OF CHAFFEY COLLEGE STADIUM March l 9, 1997 Page 2 The schools were not in favor of this but were able to work out a football schedule for all the local high schools this year so that each school will be playing one home game at Chaffey High School in Ontario and the rest of their games at the College Stadium with only one Thursday game for each high school. School staff is unsure of being able to work out this schedule in future years as the agreement is on a year to year basis. The schools are also concerned about the effect on stadium scheduling with any future addition of a fourth local high school. The local non-profits are currently using City fields for their games and opening ceremonies. The Rotary is still using Chaffey College for their annual tract meet. Traditionally, high school districts have provided high school stadiums to meet their sports needs. The lack of a high school stadium for the three local high schools is a pressing problem which is being faced by the Chaffey Unified High School District.

When city staff re, commended a 5 acr~ coma ercial designation on our property, we were deliShted. At the Planning C< ,remission and City Council meetings we had t~lueste~ that tho oornmercia designation b~ expanded to 10 acres. Wo based this request on that typical neighborhood developmont (as an example) of a major superm~ :et, drugstore, and small shops would require :3 ~ o o o -3'27000 square feet of land or i pproximately 10 acres. We also felt that due to tho lack of commercial sen ices in the area, with respect to the proposed new residential projsct and e~ fisting homes, that the expanded designation would be beneficia/-not only t ~ the communi~ and residents, but to the city in incr~asecl tax revenues. I am here tonight in a catch 2 2 situation. At the City Council Meeting on ~ber 4, 1996. that adop'e,d ordinance #95-04 regarding sub area 16 and Griffin Industries, our ret ~est was posifivsly discussed by this council, relative to increasing the size .f the commercial desiSnation fxom 5 acres to 10 acres, but was not made a art of the motion. The city attorney stated to Mayor Alexander, that since t le motion on the ordinance was voted on and approvsd as read, that the oou ~cil, per legal requirements, could not amend their action. Therefore, it ~as requested by Mayor Alexander, afl~ conferring with Mr. Buller, tha the issue had to be sent back to city staff for March 19, 1997 BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANNOUNCEMENT I would like to announce that the Fire Department took delivery of its new rescue track this week.

Dear Council Members, As a subscriber of the Daily Bulletin, I read the article in the paper today, Old Winery- New Debate. I recall visitng the Regina Winery neumerous times with the family and we enjoyed it so much. There was a grand old bar in the one room and there was also barbecued chicken, garlic bread. It was always nice to taste the wines and select a good one and have a lunch there at the picnic tables outside. They also had the small Argentinan horses for the children to have tides. It was a very popular place on weekends with families of the Cucarnonga area. I have used the Regina vinegars for years and when my aunt and uncle came they tried them and took them home to Ohio. I must go out and refurbish my supply. I used the red wine vinegar in salad dressings and other recipies. It has been a product I have relied on. When the Fillippi vinter family leased the Regina Winery area I had hopes that eventually the old ambiance of the Regina would be returned and the Fillippi Winery staff and the owners have reassured me it would be. I note they have planted vines as well. The Regina Winery brings back fond and enjoyable memories of that time and it has been good to see the Fillippi Winery there. I hope that this will continue for many years. These wineries and others of our area have been a drawing card for years. They are a part of the California and Rancho Cucamonga history and the others in immediate areas to. I feel that the Regina Winery must be preserved. We cannot turn all of our land into tracts and businesses and parking lots. I understand to that there may be water rationing if this trend continues. The people want to see the mountains and not to have the landscape obstructed with rooftop to rooftop housing and what have you. The people want to see these wineries preserved as a part of our legacy of California. How enjoyable to go to the old Regina Winery as we used to and now the Fillippi Winery, and in comparison to shopping for these products at the local groceries and the liquor stores. The Casa de Rancho was preserved and my daughter was a part of that while she attended the local Junior High School. Her teacher was the one who called the man who owned that land and the Rains House and the teacher and the children stood the bulldozer. Look at what we have today. The Jewel of the Inland Empire Museum System. And in fact, these wineries are museums and to our past and an enjoyable present and future as well. We cannot bulldoze our past and our significant past. The "cost" will be much greater in what we lose. Today, so many values are cast out in this world. We must keep that which is worthwhile. Not just human values but our past and our legacy and that of historical significance. It is indeed sad to see the Thomas Winery as it is today. We enjoyed and countless others, going to the Thomas Winery as well. It was a step back into time and the grand old bar there. The hugh wine vats. It should be a museum on Rt. 66 for the tourist and for Californians. I hope some day it will be restored to its old grandeur. And as you know it is just below Casa de Rancho. Both wineries have been a fixture of the area for years. Doing away with these would not be progress but a step back and more casting out of values in this world. Sincerely, Mrs. Robert R.
