STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 28, 1996
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Scott Murphy, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 15526 - LEWIS HOMES - The review
of building elevations and site plan for 55 single family homes for a previously
approved tract map consisting of 55 lots on 7,87 acres of land in the Low Medium
Residential designation (4-8 dwelling units), located at the southwest corner of
Miltiken Avenue and Mountain View Drive - APN: 1077-821-43 through 45, and 47
through 53,
SITE DESCRIPTION: The site is currently vacant with an average slope of 2 % percent from north
to south. The Greenway Trail borders the site on the south side. The project abuts existing single
family residential to the west. Mountain View Drive and Millikan Avenue border the site on the
north and east. respectively.
ANALYSIS:
A. Background: On September 8, 1993, The Planning Commission approved the Tentative
Tract Map and Design Review applications for Tentative Tract 15526. The original approval
consisted of 56 lots utilizing the same street configuration as shown with the application. The
product type was designed as two-story, zero lot line homes. The project was planned as
an extension of the 'Corsica' project to the west.
B. General: The applicant is proposing to develop 55 single family lots ranging in size from
3,509 to 6,572 square feet with an average lot size of 4,368 squar~ feet. The applicant is
proposing center plot units to replace the previously appreved zero lot-line product. In doing
so, one lot is being deleted from the original approval. The unit mix consists of one single-
story floor plan and three two-story floor plans. The single story units are plotted on corner
lots, where possible, and paired to provide variation in the streetscape.
Under the Terra Vista Planned Community requirements, single family residential
development shall maintain a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet with an average lot size
of 5,500. If however, the applicant proposes an "innovative" product type. the minimum and
average lot size requirements can be reduced to 3,500 and 4,000 square feet, respectively.
The proposals by the applicant are consistent with the "Calais" project located at the
southwest corner of Millikan Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway. The Calais project was
ITEM A

previously recognized by the City as an innovative product and was a Design Award winner
in 1989. The units provide low walls at the front of the buildings to provide greater variation
along the streetscape and create small coudyard areas within the front yard. The applicant
is requesting the Planning Commission continue to consider the units as innovative.
C. Desiqn Review Committee: On January 16, 1996 the Design Review Committee (Lumpp,
McNiel, Henderson) reviewed the application and recommended approval as submitted by
the applicant. Minutes are attached (see Exhibit "F").
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the Design Review
for Tentative Tract 15526 through adoption of the attached Resolution.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
· " 5:40 p.m. Scott Murphy January 16, 1996
DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 15526 - LEWIS HOMES - The review of building
elevations and site plan for 55 single family homes for a previously approved tract map consisting of 55
lots on 7.87 acres of land in the Low Medium Residential designation (4-8 dwelling its), located at the
southwest comer of Milliken Avenue and Mountain View Drive - APN: 1077-821-43, 44, 45, and 47
through 53..
Design Parameters:
The site is located north of the Greenway Park, east of Tract 14365, commonly referred to as "Corsica,"
and south of Tract 12671, commonly referred to as "Calais." On September 8, 1993, the subject site was
approved for 57 zero lot line homes. The applicant has been processing the final tract map and was ready
to record the map when they decided to pursue a different product type.
Staff Commen(s: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project:
1. Within the Low-Medium Residential standards of the Terra Vista Community Plan, there are two
sets of development standards - those that apply to single family, detached, center plot homes and
those that apply to "innovative" product types. Under the center plot requirements, the minimum
lot size shall be 5,000 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,500 square feet. Under the
innovative product type, the minimum lot size may be reduced to 3,500 square feet, with an
average lot size of 4,000 square feet.
As mentioned previously, the tract was originally approved with innovative product type (zero lot
line) allowing the reduced lot sizes. The applicant is now proposing a center plot unit consistent
with the Calais project to the north. When the Calais project was originally approved by the
Planning Cornmission, the product type was approved as "innovative" with lot sizes slightly
smaller than those proposed for this site. The project made use of a mix of one and two-story units
incorporating courtyards created by architecturally integrated wails at the front setback.
In order for the applicant to proceed with the Calais product type for this project, the Planning
Commission must reaffirm their determination that the Calais is an innovative product type.
Secondary Issue:~: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Single story units should be provided on all comer lots and within long rows of units to break the
two story massing along the streetscape.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee determine if the product type presented by the
applicant constitutes an "innovative product type" consistent with the Terra Vista Community Plan and
forward that recommendation to the Planning Commission. Also, the appropriate conditions of approval
should be attached to address any design considerations.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Heinz Lumpp, Larry McNiel, Larry Henderson
Staff Planner: Scott Murphy
The Committee reviewed the application and rgcommended approval as submitted by the applicant.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 28, 1996
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION NO. 2 TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-49 - WESTERN
DEVELOPMENT CO. - A modification to the master plan of an integrated shopping
center, Town Center Square, and the design review of the detailed site plan and
elevations for Buildings 3 and 7, two retail buildings totaling 51,820 square feet,
and Buildings 13 and 14, two freestanding retail buildings totaling 16,500 square
feet, in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Community Plan,
located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard, between Spruce and Elm Avenues -
APN: 1077-421-58 and 63.
ACTION REQUESTED: The approval of the revised Master Plan, the project entry and plaza
design, the building pads and elevations for Buildings 3, 7, 13, and 14, and the signs for Officemax,
the tenant for Building 7.
BACKGROUND: On December 19, 1995, the Commission held a workshop to review the
development proposals. The Commission identified several design concerns and directed the
applicant to work with staff in revising the development plans. On February 14, 1996, the
Commission held a second workshop to review the revised development plans. The Commission
determined that, with the recommended improvements, the revised development plans were
acceptable. A copy of the February 14, 1996 staff report is attached to this report for reference
(see Exhibit "A").
ANALYSIS:
A. Proposed Development: The applicant is proposing to modify the Master Plan by eliminating
building pads 10 and 11 within the lower central plaza so that the main entry driveway can
be extended to the upper central plaza. This entry driveway is treated as a major entry
statement consisting of a 24-foot wide landscape area on each side and embellished with
double rows of trees, seat benches, textured pedestrian walkways, textured driveway
pavement, and decorative light fixtures. Buildings 3 and 4, located west of the upper central
plaza, are proposed to be combined into one Building 3. Building 7 is planned for an
Officemax, a discount retail store of office products, office furniture, and services for printing
and copying. The names of the potential tenants for Buildings 13 and 14 have not been
released by the applicant.

B. Desian Review: At the February 14, 1996, workshop, the Commission concentrated on the
design issues of the driveway alignment for the upper plaza, the tower design for Building 7,
the signs for Officemax. and the gable design entries for Buildings 13 and 14. At the meeting,
the applicant agreed to work with staff and the Design Review Committee to resolve these
design concerns. As for the remaining design comments and staffs recommended
improvements, the applicant agreed to revise the plans to address them. Exhibit "A" is a
copy of the February 14, 1996, staff report which includes the action or recommended
improvements from the Commission below each item (see bold face).
C. Environmental Assessment: A Negative Declaration for the Master Plan was issued on July
27, 1994. The proposed revisions are in substantial conformance with the Master Plan and
the Terra Vista Community Plan. Therefore, additional environmental review is not needed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the modification to Conditional Use Permit
9349 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 14, 1996
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION NO. 2 TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 9349 - WESTERN
DEVELOPMENT CO. - A modification to the master plan of an integrated shopping
center, Town Center Square, and the design review of the detailed site plan and
elevations for Building 3 and 7, two retail buildings totaling 51,820 square feet and
Buildings 13 and 14, two free standing retail buildings totaling 16,500 square feet,
in the Community Commercial District of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located
on the north side of Foothill Boulevard, between Spruce and Elm Avenues - APN:
1077421-58 and 63.
BACKGROUND: On December 19, 1995. the Commission held a workshop to review the
development proposals. The Commission identified several design concerns and directed the
applicant to work with staff in revising the development plans. The applicant has worked diligently
to prepare development plans for this workshop. Attached to this report are copies of the
December 19. 1995 staff report and a set of the revised development plans.
ANALYSIS:
A. Revised ADolication: The applicant revised his application to include Building 3 elevations
and increased the square footage of Building 3 from 12,000 to 15,800 and Building 13 from
7,500 to 9,000. The increase in square footage was to compensate for the elimination of
Building 11, which has a square footage of 3,500. The square footage for the original
approved master plan was 222,605; the square footage for the approved modification to the
master plan was 225,316; and square footage for this proposed modification is 227,318. The
number of parking spaces provided on-site can accommodate the proposed increase in
square footage.
B. Upper and Lower Plazas desion: The Commission stated that they would like to maintain
the view corridor and the pedestrian promenade within the plazas and directed the applicant
to study the options of having a centralized lower plaza or a major entry driveway. The
applicant revised the upper plaza by expanding southward and opening up the lower plaza
as a main driveway. This main driveway is treated as a major entry statement that leads
to and ends at the upper plaza. The treatment consisted of a 24-foot wide landscape area
on each side, a double rows of trees, continuous pedestrian walkways of textured material
with a pattern, decorative light fixtures, and textured driveway pavement. The upper plaza,
with the art piece display closer to the T intersection, will serve as a draw for pedestrians and
a destination place. Based on review of this design, staff has identified the following issues
as shown in Exhibit A:
PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
MOD. NO. 2 TO CUP 93-49 - WESTERN DEVEL. CO.
February 14, 1996

1. Provide dense planrings to achieve the proposed colorful plantings at the four corners
of the 4-way intersection at the main entry driveway.
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
2. Score sections of the curb at the middle section of the main driveway to coincide with
the concrete banding where the decorative light fixtures are placed.
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
3. Repeat the clusters of four palm trees at the upper end of the middle section as shown
in Exhibit A.
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
4. Provide the same kiosk design as Terra Vista Town Center for the seating at the four
corners of the 4-way intersection for the main entry driveway.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to provide seat benches subject to City Planner
review and approval.
5. Consider straightening the portion of the driveway alignment just south of the Building
3 tower and modifying the parking area at the southwest side of the plaza, as shown in
Exhibit A. The recommended improvements have the following advantages: cars
coming from the Foothill Boulevard main entry driveway can make a 90-degree turn;
traffic for the eastTWest main ddveway can be slowed down; increased square footage
for the plaza.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to work with staff in modifying the alignment of this
portion of the driveway subject to City Planner review and approval.
6. Enlarge the small scale plaza tree wells to allow for colorful shrub plantings similar to
the ones west of Starbucks.
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
7. Add four palm trees along the circular area for the art piece and two trees at the
northern portion of the plaza.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to provide a total of six palm trees along the circular
area for the art piece and add two trees at the northern portion of the plaza.
8. Embellish the plaza area with drinking fountains, colorful and attractive landscaping,
potted plants, lighted decorative bollards, kiosks, etc.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to embellish the plaza area with hardscape except for
· ~ kiosks or lighted decorative bollards.

C. Buildinq 7 - Office Max: The Planning Commission directed the applicant to include
proposed signage on the elevations so that they could review the total design of the building.
The building design has not changed since the last workshop. However, concept of signage
for the tenant has been added and a building entry has been added to the west side of the
tall focal tower. Staff has identified the following design issues:
1. South elevation.
a. Add half-circle sconce light fixtures to the building entry consistent with the ones
in the center. (A previous comment and can be conditioned.)
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
b. Even with the proposed signage, the building face for the main entry needs
additional architectural elements. Staff previously recommended expanding
upward the canterra stone molding or adding architectural elements to treat the
building face.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to work with staff in addressing this issue subject to
· City Planner review and approval.
2. Tower at the southwest side of the Building. The revised design shows an arch
element with metal grill work and a building entry has been added. Staff recommends
the following improvements:
a. Staff feels strongly that the tower needs to be pulled to the west side, a minimum
of 6 feet, to allow pedestrians to walk under and through it. This would eliminate
the need for an awning. The proposed tower for Building 3 does not have
awnings.
ACTION: The Commission accepted the design solution of recessing the tower
entry at the west side and eliminating the awning.
b. Add concrete molding on the columns at the level where the arch metal grill
begins. (This item can be conditioned.)
c. Add light fixtures. (A previous comment and can be conditioned.)
d. Add architectural elements to the portion of the building face above the arch.
Without architectural treatment, this portion of the building face is primed for the
tenant to request placement of a signage.
ACTION: The above items b through c are conditioned.
3. North and west elevations. These two elevations are the same ones that the
Commission has reviewed. The applicant proposes to display an art piece on a portion
of the building wall at the west elevation, The treatment to the wall for displaying the
art has not been provided for review,
PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
MOD. NO. 2 TO CUP 9349 - WESTERN DEVEL. CO.
February 14, 1996
Page 4
ACTION: Applicant agreed to submit design of the wall treatment for the display
of the art piece in relation to the design of the plaza for City Planner review and
approval.
4. Signs for Building 7. The applicant requests approval of signs for the tenant. Office
Max proposes one primary sign and two secondary signs at the south elevation and one
secondary sign at the west elevation. The primary sign consists of the words
'OfficeMax" and has sign dimensions of 4 feet by 31 feet, with a sign area of 124
square feet. The two secondary signs consist of the words "Copymax" and
"Furnituremax." The sign dimensions for the two secondary signs are 2 feet by13 feet,
with a sign area of 26 square feet; and 2.5 feet by 28 feet, with a sign area of 70 square
feet, respectively. The one secondary sign at the west elevation is 'Copymax" and has
the same sign dimensions as the other one. The color for the signs is white.
a. The primary sign at the south elevation is acceptable.
ACTION: Applicant informed staff and the Commission that the color for the
primary and secondary signs is red. The Commission accepted the design and
size of the primary sign, as well as the color for the primary and secondary signs.
b. The two secondary signs of "Copymax", at the south and west elevations. are
acceptable because Copymax is a service business and has a separate entry.
This is consistent with past approvals where the Commission has allowed a
secondary sign if the service or product is singular and different from the main use
and has a separate entry.
ACTION: The Commission accepted the 24-inch sign/letter height secondary
sign at the south elevation only.
c. Since "Furnituremax" does not have a separate entry, the approval of this
secondary sign is inconsistent with Commission's policy.
d. The maximum sign area for a business on one building face, according to the Sign
Ordinance, is 150 square feet. The total sign area for Officemax at the south
elevation is 220 square feet. If Officemax adds a separate entry for Furnituremax,
the total signage still needs to meet the maximum of 150 square feet.
ACTION: (Items c and d) The majority of the Commission accepted the
scondary sign of "Furnituremax" subject to the following conditions: a
maximum of 24-inch sign/letter height and a well defined separate entry subject
to City Planner review and approval.
D. Buildinq 3: This is a multi-tenant speculative retail building. The overall design is weak and
lacks sophistication in areas of building form, architectural treatment and detailing.
1. South elevation. The building height of the retail space west of the tall tower is not in
proportion with the tower. The hip roof building entry and the storefront design lack
architectural treatment.
PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
MOD. NO. 2 TO CUP 93-49 - WESTERN DEVEL. CO.
February 14, 1996
Page 5
ACTION: Applicant agreed to work with staff in addressing the design issue
subject to City Planner review and approval.
2. East elevation. Other than the proposed trellis, the storefront design is essentially one
building plane, which needs to be architectural treated.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to work with staff in addressing the design issue
subject to City Planner review and approval.
3. Tower elevation. Same comments as items B2 b through B2 d.
ACTION: The item is conditioned.
E. Buildinq 13 and 14: The two buildings are designed for multiple tenants. The design has
not changed since the last review. The square footage for Building 13 has increased from
7,500 to 9,000 square feet.
1. Provide additional architectural treatment such as wider precast concrete molding and
key stones to the northwest gable entry for building 13 and the northeast gable entry
for Building 14. Provide the same architectural treatment to the southeast gable
elevation for Building 13 and southwest gable elevation for Building 14. (A previous
comment.)
ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
2. Modify the northeast gable entry for Building 14 to address the Santa Ana winds. (A
previous comment.)
ACTION: Applicant agreed to address this issues and submit final design for
Design Review Committee review and approval.
3. The overall design of the two buildings lacks architectural treatment and detailing. Add
light fiXtures, special mullion patterns, architectural elements to enhance blank walls,
etc. (A previous comment.)
'ACTION: Applicant agreed and the item is conditioned.
4. Increase the building setback for the southern portion of the west elevation to a
minimum of 10 feet from the curb. The site plan shows only 4 feet.
ACTION: Applicant agreed to work with staff in addressing this item, subject to
City Planner review and approval.
5. Extend or pull the gable entries out similar to the gable entries of Building X (Men's
Warehouse) in Terra Vista Town Center for Buildings 13 (northwest elevation) and 14
(northeast elevation).
ACTION: Applicant agreed to address this issues and submit final design for
Design Review Committee review and approval.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission provide direction to the applicant
regarding the above identified design issues. The application is pre-scheduled for the February 28,
1996 Commission meeting. If the Commission desires to review the revised plans or delegate
them to the City Planner to review before Commission's final review and action, staff will be
requesting a continuance of the hearing to another meeting.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to lease a vacant interior portion of Southem California
Edison's steam generating facility site. Southern California Edison plans to ultimately use the
site for expansion of their steam generating facility. The applicant has obtained a license from
Southern California Edison, which is the equivalent of a year-to-year lease with a one year
notice to vacate clause, but expects to occupy the site longer than five years. Therefore,
aeeording to the Development Code the use is permanent not temporary.
The applicant proposes to collect scrap steel on the site via truck transportation and ship it to
a processing plant by rail. In turn, the rail cars will bring finished steel to the site for
distribution in the area by truck. Therefore, the primary use of the site will be storage and
distribution. Scrap metal and finished product will be stored outside. Some metal shredding
will also occur. A small office building will serve as a check point for rail and truck transport.
An above-ground storage diesel fuel tank is proposed, as well as an equipment maintenance
The scrap operation may be allowed in the Heavy Industrial area (Subarea 15) subject to a
Conditional Use Permit and requires the scrap piles to be fully screened from public view.
Using a combination of berm, block wall, and landscaping, the applicant proposes to screen
the scrap piles from the Metrolink right-of-way adjacent on the north and from 6th Street
which is approximately 1,600 feet south of the scrap storage area.
B. Design Review Committee: On February 6, 1996, the Design Review Committee (Lumpp,
Henderson) reviewed and recommended approval subject to revised plans which include 200
linear feet of additional landscape screening on Southern California Edison property adjacent
to the Metrolink fight-of-way and conditions noted in the attached ResOlution of Approval (see
Exhibit "G").
C. Technical Review Committee: On February 7, 1996, the Technical Review Committee
reviewed and recommended approval of the application subject to the conditions noted in the
Resolution of Approval.
D. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has bee~ completed by the applicant and
Part II of the Initial Study has been completed by staff(see Exhibit "H'). Although the project
could have significant impacts on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this
case because of changes in the project design and mitigation measures which have been added
to the conditions of approval for the project. If the Planning commission concurs with these
findings, then issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration would be appropriate.

FACTS FOR FINDING: The project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and
the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The project will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or cause
significant adverse environmental impacts. In addition, the proposed use and site plan, together with
the recommended conditions of approval, are in compliance with all applicable provisions of the
Development Code and City standards.
.CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices have been sent to all property owners
within 600 feet of the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use
Permit 95-37 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval and issuance of a mitigated
Negative Declaration.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PER2MIT 95-37 - NORTH
STAR STEEL COMPANY- A request to construct a scrap steel recycling facility and finish steel
distribution center on a 29.26 acre lease site in the heavy industrial area (Subarea 15) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan generally located north of 6th Street, south of the Metrolink rightzof-
way, and west of Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 229-283-27.
The site is a vacant interior portion of Southern Califomia Edison's steam generating plant site. The
applicant has obtained a license from Southern California Edison which is the equivalent of a year-
to-year lease with a one year notice to vacate clause but expects to occupy the site longer than five
years. Therefore, according to the Development Code the use is permanent not temporary. The
primary design issue is screening. The Code requires that a scrap operation be fully screened from
public view by "a solid wall or solid view obscuring fence."
Staff Comments:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Commitlee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Metrolink Corridor Screen: Along the north and a portion of the west side the of the site, the
applicant proposes a combination of landscaped berm and block wall to screen the scrap pile.
The Code specifies a 15-foot high solid block wall, but a combination of berm and 8-foot high
solid block security wall will meet the intent. The sight line detail indicates that the proposed
combination will screen the scrap piles when viewed straight on. However, unless the screen
is extended 200 feet toward the railroad spur along the east portion of the site, the scrap piles
will not be fully screened from trains approaching from the east along the northeast sight line.
The applicant states that Southern California Edison will not permit the berm to be extended
beyond the lease site, nor permit a block wall along the east lease line. '
2. Sixth Street Screen: The applicant proposes to provide screening with a landscaped berm
adjacent to the right-of-way. The sight line detail indicates that the berm will screen the scrap
piles. A chain link security fence softened by vines is also proposed. Full right-of-way
landscaping is also proposed. Staff believes that with solid, view obscuring gates the
screening requirement will be met.
3. The applicant proposes a 1,300 square foot, two-story modular steel office building modified
by design elements such as a base course of split face block, as well as sheathing and a gable
element to disguise the steel support structure for the second story modular unit. The primary
function of the building will be to check incoming and outgoing trucks, therefore the building
is flanked on the east and west elevation by drive aisles. The 22-foot heigh building is
approximately 1,000 feet north of 6th street. It xvill be partially screened by the berm and

fence along 6th Street, but visible through the entry gate. Therefore, the applicant proposes
landscaping for the north elevation, primarily two columnar trees, such as Italian cypress.
Because of the distance from 6th Street and because the building functions primarily as a
checkpoint for track traffic, staff feels that the design is adequate.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the committee review the site plan, elevations, and line-of-sight diagram and
recommend approval of the application to the Planning Commission with conditions to address any
outstanding concerns.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Heinz Lumpp, Larry Henderson
Staff Planner: Miki Bratt
The Committee recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Screen noaheast comer of lease site with dense landscaping extending approximately 200 feet
eastward on Southern California Edison propen3' mixing plant material to match existing on
southern California Edison site and to match new planting, including trees, along lease site.
2. To provide for truck queuing, the primary access gate shall be located approximately 100 feet
north of the 6th Street right-of-way: it shall be constructed of solid material.
3. To provide Southern California Edison maintenance access, a second gate shall be provided
along the 6th Street frontage: the drive approach shall be constructed to Engineering.st,indards
and the gate of the lease site shall be obscured by construction out of solid material or by other
means.
4. The design of the office is acceptable and a color palette shall be provided with the final
submittal.

RE:HAZARDOUS WASTE STATEMENT
10. Describe the known cultural and/or historical aspects of the site. SIte all
sources of Information (books. published reports and oral history):
Southern Cnltforn2ta Edison Company purchased approximately 206 acres on
dune 6, 1951. The Edison Company built the Etiwanda Steam Station on
approximately 100 acres. The remaining 100 acres were not needed for the
steam station at that time. The Edison Company's records indicated that the
property in question was used for a vineyard prior to 1951 and vines have
continued on the property to date. The Edison Company has installed a
railroad spur. two transmission tines. one fuel oil pipeline and one water line
at different locations throughout the site. Easements have been granted to
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. and to A.T. & S. F. at two
locations for railroad spurs.
33. In the known history of th. ts property. has there been any use. storage. or
discharge of hazardous and/or toxic materials? Examples of hazardous and/or
toxic materials include; but are not titaired to PCB's: radioactive substance:
pesticides and herbicides: fuel. oils, solvents, and other timable liquids and
gases. Also. note understorage storage of any of the above. Please list t_he
materials and describe their use, storage. and/or discharge on the property. as
well as the dates of use. ff know.
The Edison Company knows of no known use of hazardous and/or toxic
materials on this site. The use of pesticicles and herbicides could of happened

SUBJECT: Request for Conditional Use Permit for North Star Steel Recycling Facility to be
located north of 6th Street, east of Etiwanda Avenue
BACKGROUND
North Star Steel Company is building a steel recycling mini mill in Kingman, Arizona. Finished
steel products from t~is facility will be shipped to a number of markets in the Southwest and
northern Mexico. North Star Steel will ship finished products into these markets by truck and
rail The trucks and railcars wilt be sent out with scrap metal that will be recycled into new
steel products at Kingman, or sold to other regional scrap consumers.
North Star Recycling Company (NSR), a subsidiary of North Star Steel (NSS) seeks to create a
scrap metal collection and distribution yard (Yard) on property owned by the Southern
California Edison Company (Edison) adjacent to their Etiwanda steam generating plant Edison
will provide NSR with a license for interim use of its property for the purposes oudined above.
NSR operates a number of scrap collection yards in the Midwest and southern United States.
The property is served by the Santa Fe Railroad and accessible by Sixth Street off of Etiwanda
Avenue. This yard will receive finished goods from NSS plants which will be transloaded for
shipment to customers in the southern California and northern Mexico region. Scrap will be
received at the site from scrap processing yards in the same area and loaded onto rail cars or
trucks for shipment to regional scrap consumers.
Some scrap may need to be cut to usable lengths at the site using portable or stationary shears
to facilitate rail or truck transpor~ Other loose scrap, appliances or car bodies may be
compressed into bundles to create a denser scrap form for shipment from the site.
The finished goods received at the Yard will be bundled, or coiled steel, ready for customer
shipmen~ It is anticipated that most finished goods will be shipped from the Yard to
customers within sevent~-t~vo hours, yet it is possible for some finished goods inventory to be
maintained at the Yard.
YARD CDNC~EPT
As designed, the Yard would be laid out to separate finished goods unloading, scrap handling
and scrap loading to ensure orderly vehicular movement on the property. Rail tracks and
roads will smoothly integrate off and on-loading of railcars and trucks. Intermodal truck and
rail activities would also be possible at the Yard.
The Yard is designed to handle rail shipments of finished goods into the yard, and rail
shipments of scrap out of the yard. Activity flow into and out of the yard is estimated to be
five rail cars per day during 1996. To support this volume, roughly twenty trucks per day will
EXHIBIT "A" PROJECT DESCRIPTION
deliver scrap and twenty trucks will pickup finished goods. In years 1997 and beyond, this
volume could approach ten to fifteen cars per day, depending on finished product and scrap
metal markets.
Coiled steel and bundled rounds and reinforcing bar are the finished products to be handled.
Bundles of round steel products will weigh a minimum of one ton, yet could weigh as much as
five tons. Coils will weigh between one and three tons. The finished steel will be unloaded,
staged and reloaded onto trucks for shipment in California and Northern Mexico.
Ferrous scrap metal will be delivered to the Yard by local scrap collection yards. The scrap will
consist of societal discards to be recycled. It is anticipated that much of the scrap steel will
already have been processed (sorted, cut to usable lengths or compacted). Scrap metal will be
received, sheared or compacted if necessary, then staged and loaded onto outbound railcars or
trucks as they become available.
No hazardous materials will be handled at the site. Automated radioactive monitoring along
with visual and other inspection procedures will be followed to ensure that no problem
materials enter the property.
PERCENT OF STORAGE VERSUS DISTRIBUTION OF NEVV PRODUCT
All finished steel received and handled at the site is for distribution to identified customers.
Product will be staged in rail cars as it awaits truck transportation. It is expected that over
ninety-five percent of all product will generally be shipped within twenty-four hours of receipt-
PERCENT OF STORAGE VERSUS DISTRIBIJTION OF PRODUCT FOR RECYCLING
All scrap metal received for recycling will be distributed within three weeks of receipt. Levels
of recycled material on-hand vary depending on railroad car availability and market conditions
for scrap metal.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RAIL CARS ARRIVING DAILY
The Santa Fe will switch cars once per day, after I I:00 p.m. and before 5:00 a.m. The
maximum number of cars anticipated at full operation is twelve railcars entering and leaving
each day. (Each on-site track cannot hold and process more than twelve cars. The maximum
number of cars on-site at any time is twenty-four.)
Maximum daily arriving rail cars to be unloaded: 12
Maximum daily departing rail cars being unloaded: 1.32
Maximum daily number of stacked railcars on-site 24
WORST CASE "STACKING" REOUIREMENT
The City's use of "stacking" is unclear. The finished product handled by this facility does not
lend itself to vertically "stacking" due to its size and weight- As indicated, product is received
for specific customer delivery, or it will not be sent to this facility.
Product must be off-loaded from rail cars directly onto trucks. If trucks are unexpectedly not
available, product will remain in rail cars. Alternatively, it could be laid on the ground until the
trucks are available, yet double handling of product would reduce operational efficiency and
backs up the product flow. On ground stacking is not contemplated and will be avoided to the
extent practical. (Due to weight and bulk, bundled and coiled steel products do not lend
themselves to vertical stacking above nine feet Coiled steel stacking would also be limited to
nine feet_)
Worst case on-site product storage is not expected to exceed twenty percent of the produc~
handled. Product will be rerouted to other customers, held by the railroad, or returned to the
originating facility.
Worst case scrap metal storage would be a continuous pile, not exceeding fifteen feet in height
and thirty feet wide at the base, located over the lined area parallel to the working secrjons of
rail
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRUCKS EXPECTED DURING A MAXIMUM DAY FOR
FINISHED PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION
Each outgoing rail car can carry a maximum of ninety-six tones of outgoing material for
recycling. Given that each incoming scrap vehicle carries twenty-four tons of scrap, it will take
four trucks to provide enough scrap metal to fill an outgoing railcar. Therefore, the maximum
number of incoming loads to fill twelve rail cars with material for recycling is forty-eight each
day for a maximum total of ninety-six in/outs.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TRUCKS EXPECTED DURING A MAXIMUM DAY FOR
INCOMING MATERIAL TO BE RECYCLFD
Each outgoing rail car can carry a maximum of ninety-six tones of outgoing material for
recycling. Given that each incoming scrap vehicle carries twenty-four tons of scrap, it will take
four trucks to provide enough scrap metal to fill an outgoing railcar. Therefore, the maximum
number of incoming loads to fill twelve rail cars with material for recycling is forty-eight each
day for a maximum total of ninety-six in/outs.
DOUBLE DUTY TRUCK~i THAT DELIVER SCRAP AND LEAVE WITH FINISHED
PRODUCT
It is estimated that ten percent of trucks bringing scrap will be equipped with drop sides and
leave loaded with finished product This will reduce the total number of ins and outs.
MAXIMUM TRUCK TRIP~;

I~IUMBER OF TRUCKS IN THE MAXIMUM HOLIR
Outgoing trucks will be scheduled to arrive for specific loading times. Trucks will be loaded
and unloaded sequentially, or simultaneously depending on equipment availability. The
maximum number of trucks handled per hour will be twelve trucks.
TIME TO LOAD PER TRUCK
It will take a maximum of thirty-five minutes to weight, load, tie-down and manifest furnished
product trucks. (Finished product trucks will be on-site for this period of time.)
Finished Product Trucks (ou~oing):
Arrival Weighting &Load Verification 5 minutes
Actual Product Loading &driver tie down 25 minutes
Departing Weighing & Verification 1.5 minutes
45 minutes
It will take a maximum of twenty minutes to weigh, unload and reweigh incoming trucks
carrying materials to be recycled. (Scrap trucks will be on-site for this period of time.)

Product Unloading I 0 minutes
Weighing & Departure Verification 5 minute~
20 minutes
WORST CASE ~;TA~IN~ RE0~JIREMENT
The "worst case" staging situation for this yard would occur because of unexpected truck
shortages. In such a case product would remain on railcars until trucks are available. If the
problem persisted, product would be unloaded from the railcars and placed on the ground
adjacent and parallel to the railcars, or roadway, to avoid railcar demurrace charges. If the
situation persisted, the Santa Fe would be advised not to deliver full railcars to the facility.
Product would not be assembled on the ground at the "truck staging area". The designated
truck staging area is used for truck waiting and load tie-down purposes, not to accumulate
stored product_ Trucks will be loaded along side the rail cars.

RADIATION DETECTION OPERATION
Radiation detection equipment is installed at entry point to identify any radioactive materials
that may inadvertently, or deliberately be included with materials to be recycled. Although not
typically seen, on a rare occasion a piece of radioactive material may be shipped by a scrap
dealer. The radiation detectors are present to prevent radioactive materials from entering the
property at Rancho Cucamonga.
The sensors are placed on each side of the road. Trucks pass between the calibrated
detectors, which can detect the presence of radioactive materials. Should radioactive materials
be detected, the vehicle and its load are not allowed to remain on the property.
~RKING
The operation of the facility will not require overnight or extended truck parking. Trucks
arrive to pickup a load or drop off scrap~ and then leave the property. Truck staging areas are
for standby parking and load tying. Trucks will be loaded alongside the rail cars as finished
product is removed from the train.
SITE INFORMATION
The property is owned by Edison. It is generally described as a 28 acre portion of APN
0229-283-27. NSR has entered into a property use license agreement with Edison for the
herein stated use of the property. The ten year agreement allows for either party to terminate
the license upon one year's notice.
It is Edison's opinion that the conditional use of this property is covered by Section 66428 of
the California Subdivision Map Act under which all transfers and uses of land to or from a
public utility are exempt from the parcel map requirements, providing however that such land
is not sold by Edison to another party.
NSR has conducted preliminary environmental and engineering analyses at the site to
determine that it is feasible for the use described herein. These efi~orts have included civil
engineering studies, physical and environmental assessments, availability of utilities, identification
of zoning requirements and other site studies. It is NSR's opinion that the site is workable for
the described use.
Edison itself, has placed a requirement on NSR to ensure that the site is restorable to its
original condition upon the termination of the license agreement. To accomplish this, Edison is
requiring NSR to place a plastic liner under the equipment maintenance area and the area that
will be used for scrap metal handling, storing, shearing and compacting. Edison's requirement is
not related to any aquifer protection or other local, state or environmental law. It is simply
Edison's insistence that the property be easily restorable to its preticense condition.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Insert property description here:
The property to be licensed does not have direct access to any public road. Primary access
will be near the vicinity of the intersection of Sixth Street and the Santa Fe Railroad spur,
approximately one-half mile west of Etiwanda Avenue.
Emergency access will be provided approximately one-quarter mile to the east of the primary
entrance.
FACILITY:
The Development Package Site Plan is a site use concept for the facility. This drawing indicates
the access to roads, facility locations, employee and truck parking, traffic flow, rail flow,
product storage and other appropriate .information. It does accurately reflect the activities and
product flows that will be conducted on the site.
Site plans and facility layouts will be refined after considering City comments regarding NSR's
plans for the facility, providing a workable concept with the City can be developed.
EMPLOYEES
There will be between three and five employees per shift working at the site. The scrap yard
will likely operate for two shifts, while it could operate for three eight hour shifts per day.
OPERATIN(~ EOIJIPMENT
The yard will use locomotive cranes, portable cranes and other transloading equipment to
handle finished goods. Scrap metal will be handled by magnet cranes and front end loaders as
appropriate. Equipment maintenance will be conducted on or off-site, depending on the type
of maintenance being performed.
FUEL STORAGE
Diesel fuel for operating equipment will be stored in above ground fuel tank(s). The tank(s)
will be constructed to meet all applicable zoning and environmental specifications for such
tank(s). On-site fuel storage will be approximately 2,0OO gallons. The tank(s) will be bermed
to comply with City and appropriate National Fire Code regulations. Fire protection will be
provided as required by the City.
WATER AND ~ANITARY REC)!,)IREMENT~
Water usage is modesL Water for dust suppression, domestic and landscape uses will be
supplied from municipal sources. Sewering will be by private on-site septic system.
TRAFFIC FLOW~
Vehicular volumes are consistent with established City zoning and traffic flows on Etiwanda and
Sixth StreeL Vehicular traffic would enter and leave the property via Sixth Street. NSR will
have an ingress and egress license from Edison to cross their property affronting Sixth Street.
Raw materials for the process will come from industrial scrap collectors and automobile
shredders in the Los Angeles area. The delivery routes of travel for finished goods and raw
materials are e×pected to be Etiwanda Avenue to Interstate Ten, or San Bernardino Avenue to
Interstate Fifteen. Scrap will be obtained from suppliers in the immediate area, Colton and
other nearby scrap processors.
Gravel, gravel substitute, or oil covered aggregate roads and rail beds will be established on the
site. Dust suppression, consistent with local requirements will be used to mitigate dust from
vehicular traffic.
BUILDINGS
The Yard will include temporary modular trailers for office, lunch room and domestic facilities.
Permanent buildings are not contemplated. Electric utility lines to the trailers will be
underground from the nearest Edison service lines. Sewering will be by on-site septic system.
The planned use of the site is consistent with the existing Air Quality requirements as defined
by the City for this industrial area. The site is adjacent Etiwanda Steam Plant, Tamco Steel Mill
and large industrial warehousing and trucking operations on Sixth Street. The property is
bounded by vacant land to the west

history or prehistory? Q
b) Shod-term: Does the project have the potential to achieve shod-
term, to the~,'~dvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A
shod-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definite period of time. Long-term impacts will
endure W,_ell into the future.) Q
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts which are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on
two or more separate resources where the impact on each
resource is relatively small, but where the effect on the total of
those impacts on the environment is significant.) Q
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly? Q
XXII. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION.
(Attach additional sheets with narrative description of the environmental impacts.)
Xlll. DISCUSSION OF LAND USE IMPACTS.
(Attach additional sheets examining whether the project would be consistent with existing zoning,
plans, and other applicable land use controls.)
XXIV. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program El R,
or other C EQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier E IR or Negative
Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached
sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for

Environmental Evaluation and Discussion
Project Description: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 95-37 - NORTH STAR STEEL COMPANY - A re_quest to
construct a scrap steel recycling facility and finish steel distribution center on
a 29.26 acre lease site in the heavy industrial area (Subarea 15) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan generally located north of 6th street, south of
the Metrolink right-of-way, and west of Etiwanda Avenue:
APN: 229-283-27.
I. Earth:
a) A study is on file: "Geotechnical Investigation for North Star Steel Co., Parcel N/o 6th
Street and W/o Etiwanda Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, January 12, 1996." The
site is not within any known unstable earth condition area.
b) The project will process, store, and load scrap metal; store and distribute finished steel
products; and maintain equipment on the site out-of-doors. Although no hazardous
materials are anticipated as part of the scrap operation, plastic liners will placed over
soil in the aforementioned areas to avoid any potential of contamination. Further, in
order to avoid soil contamination, the following will not be accepted on site:
automotive engines, automotive transmissions, or any metal wastes contaminated with
hazardous fluids or materials. No dismantling operations will occur on site. Diesel
fuel is proposed to be stored in an above ground storage tank which will be installed
to comply with the California Above Ground Storage Act requirements and
requirements of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District. There will be an office footprint
of approximately 1200 square feet, as well drive aisles and parking pavements. Site
coverage is consistent with industrial development expected in the area. The impact
is not significant.
c) The topography of the site will be altered slightly to accommodate the project,

V. Animal Life:
a) The site has been an SCE steam generation plant expansion area since 1951. There are
no known animals that currently occupy the site on a regular basis.
b) There are no known rare, unique, or endangered species on-site. Similar disturbed sites
in the area have been surveyed for Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly, including a 27.45
acre site on the southwest comer of Etiwanda Avenue and Sixth Slxeet; a 150 acre site
bounded by the AT&SF railroad, Fourth Street, Milliken Avenue, and Utica Avenue;
and the 11 acre site for the Milliken Avenue extension between the AT&SF Railroad
and Foothill Boulevard. No evidence of the fly has been found on any sites surveyed
within Rancho Cucamonga.
c) No new species will be introduced as a result of the project.
d) The project is .surrounded on the north by the Metrolink right-of-way and developed
heavy industrial uses, on the south by developed heavy industrial uses, on the east by
developed industrial uses, and on the west by a railroad spur line and vacant land zoned
for heavy industrial use. The project will have no impact on fish or wildlife habitat.
VI. Noise:
a) The site is currently vacant. It is bisected by a rail spur, which is used by SCE for
deliveries of fuel oil for the steam generating plant. The site adjoins the Metrolink
track. Nearby facilities include a steel processing plant, a scrap processing plant, and
the I-15 Freeway. No increase in existing noise level is anticipated.
b) The development of the facility will generate noise in the 80-110 Db range. Noise
generating machinery will be placed more than 1,500 feet from the public fight-of-way.
Consistent with City codes and the Industrial Area Specific Plan, noise levels will not
exceed 85 Ldn at the property line.
VII. Light and Glare:
a) New light and glare will be created because the property is currently vacant.
Consistent with City codes and the Industrial Specific Plan, a condition of approval
will require the applicant to submit a lighting plan for review and approval to ensure
the light does not spill over on to adjacent properties. The impact is not significant.
VIII. Land Use:
a) No land use alteration is proposed with the application. The site is identified as Heavy
Industrial in the General Plan. "Scrap operation" is a Conditionally Permitted Use in
the Heavy Industrial area of the Industrial Area Specific Plan (Subarea 15). Therefore,
the project is consistent with the present and planned land use of the area.
IX. Natural ResourceS:
a) The project will recycle steel; therefore, it is expected to have a positive impact on
conservation of resources.

area surrounded by a berm and with the underlying soil protected from potential leaks
or spills by a plastic liner. Fuel storage facilities will be constructed, maintained, and
operated to be consistent with all applicable codes of the City and the Fire District.
There will be no significant impact.
b) Two means of emergency access will be maintained consistent with all applicable
codes of the City and the Fire District: the primary access will be from Sixth Sweet and
a secondary access on an existing road across the SCE property to Etiwanda will be
maintained. There will be no significant impact.
XI. Population:
a) The maximum number of employees will be 22. The project will have no impact on
the population of the City.
XII. Housing:
a) The maximum number of employees will be 22. The project will not create the need
for additional housing.
XIII. Transnortation:
a) The project will generate construction trips. This is not a significant impact. When
fully operational the project will generate a maximum of 174 truck trips per day, as
well as employee trips. This is below the threshold of significance.
b) The site is sufficient in size to provide the parking spaces required by the City code and
Industrial Area Specific Plan.
c) Street improvements will be made to handle the additional traffic on Sixth Street and
there will be no significant impacts. Primary access for the project is Sixth Street. A
second emergency access will be maintained through an existing SCE access road from
the site to Etiwanda Avenue. A City traffic survey on January 24, 1996, counted 1500
trips for Sixth Street. Sixth Street is currently improved with 26 feet ofpavement and
dead ends at the AT&SF railroad spur which parallels the westem project boundary.
The Circulation Plan of the General Plan states that ultimately Sixth Street will become
a Secondary arterial with freeway access with 88 feet of right-of-way and 64 feet of
road pavement. Consistent with City codes and policies, the applicant will be
conditioned to dedicate right-of way and complete the north side of Sixth Street
fronting APN 229-283-27 to City specifications.
d) The project is consistent with existing circulation pattems for the movement of goods.
e) The project is rail served. The AT&SF railroad will switch cars once per day, between
11 p.m. and 5 a.m. The site is sufficient in size to provide stacking for 24 rail cars;
therefore, a maximum of 24 rail cars will be stacked on site daily. The site and
facilities are adequate; therefore, there will be no impact to air, water or rail traffic.
f) The project is consistent with the Circulation Plan for the City and the Industrial area
and will not increase traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to develop 43 single family lots ranging in size from
3,723 to 6,516 square feet with an average lot size of 4,371 square feet. The subdivision is
designed with two access points to Elm Avenue. The interior streets are proposed along the
north and south property lines with a cul-de-sac in the eastern portion of the site. The
northern street will run along the Greenway Trail. The unit mix consists of one single-story
floor plan and three two-story floor plans. The single story units are plotted on corner lots,
where possible, and paired to provide variation in the streetscape.
Under the Tetra Vista Planned Community requirements, single family residential
development shall maintain a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet with an average lot size
of 5,500. If however. the applicant proposes an "innovative" product type, the minimum and
average lot size requirements can be reduced to 3,500 and 4,000 square feet, respectively.
The proposals by the applicant are consistent with the "Calais" project located at the
southwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway. The Calais project was
previously recognized by the City as an innovative product and was a Design Award winner
in 1989. The units provide low walls at the front of the buildings to provide greater variation
along the streetscape and create small courtyard areas within the front yard. The applicant
is requesting the Planning Commission continue to consider the units as innovative.
B. Desion Review Committee: On January 16. 1996, the Design Review Committee (~.umpp,
McNiel, Henderson) reviewed the application. The Committee felt the architectural style
maintained the innovative concept originally approved with the Calais project. The Committee
felt that the location of "A" Street adjacent to the Greenway Trail was acceptable. The location
helped to open up the trail rather than having rear yard fencing. Also, the visibility of the trail
provided defensible space with visibility from the units. The Committee recommended
approval subject to the realignment of Lots 8 through 12 to take access from Streets "A" and
"C." This realignment will require the loss of one lot as indicated on the revised plan provided
by the applicant. The attached plans reflect this change. Minutes are attached, (see Exhibit
"H").
C. Technical Review Committee: During the Technical Review Committee, two issues for
Planning Commission discussion were presented. First, the subdivision design provides
pedestrian access to the Greenway Trail from "A' Street. The applicant is not proposing to
provide an additional pedestrian access from the cul-de-sac through the park. The applicant
is, however, proposing a lot at the cul-de-sac terminus to be maintained by the City. Staff
recommends that either a sidewalk connection be provided into the park or the lettered lot be
eliminated and ownership and maintenance be given to the property owners of Lots 33 and
34. The developer chose to provide a sidewalk connection as shown on the attached plans.
The second issue deals with the public improvements required for the south side of "C"
Street. Under normal circumstances, sidewalks would be constructed on both sides of the
street. Because a sidewalk will be provided on the north side of the street and no lots are
located on the south side of the street, there is not the need for the south sidewalk.
Residents from "D" Street can utilize the sidewalk on the north side of the street. The south
'~ side of the street is the expansion area for Coyote Canyon Elementary which may include

classrooms, administrative offices and parking. Staff is seeking Commission direction on the
location of the sidewalk along "C" Street.
D. Environmental Assessment: Staff has completed Pad 2 of the Initial Study and determined
that the application will have a cumulative impact on traffic within Terra Vista. As mitigation,
the project has been conditioned to install traffic signals at the four affected intersections.
Therefore, staff is recommending issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract
14803 through adoption of the attached Resolutions and issue a mitigated Negative Declaration
for the project.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:40p.m. Scott Murphy January 16, 1996
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 14803 - LEWIS HOMES - Review
of the subdivision design, detailed site plan, and buiIding elevations for 44 single family homes on 7.23
acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential designation (4-8 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista
Plarmed C0rru'nunity, located on the north side of Elm Avenue, east ofSpmce Avenue-ApN: 1077-421-
26 and 27.
Desio, n Parameters:
The site is located on the noah side of Elm Avenue, west of West Greenway Park and Coyote Canyon
Elementary School. The parcel south of the site was developed by the Central School District to supply
additional parking and an off-street drop-offarea for the school. The parcel to the north is part of the
Greenway trail connection between the noaheast comer of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard and
the northeast portion of the Terra Vista Planned Community.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project:
1. Within the Low-Medium Residential standards of the Terra Vista Cornmunity Plan, there are two
sets of development standards - those that apply to single family, detached, center plot homes and
those that apply to "innovative" product types. Under the center plot requirements, the minimum
lot size shall be 5,000 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,500 square feet. Under the
innovative product type, the minimum lot size may be reduced to 3,500 square feet, with an
average lot size of 4,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing a minimum lot size of 3,723
square feet and an average lot size of 4,371 square feet.
The applicant is proposing to use the "Calais" product type originally approved for the project at
the northwest comer of Milliken Avenue and Mountain View Drive. The Calais product type ~vas
originally deemed as innovative by the Planning Commission in approving that tract. In order
for the applicant to proceed with the Calais product type for this project, the Planning Cornmission
must reaffirm their determination that the Calais is an innovative product type.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Lots 24 through 27 should be reoriented to the east and west to provide a better relationship to the
other units within the tract. Units will be oriented front yard to front yard rather than front yard
to side yard.
2.... Single story units should be provided on all comer lots and within long rows of units to break the
two-story massing along the streetscape.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee determine if the product type presented by the
applicant constitutes an "innovative product type" consistent with the Terra Vista Community Plan and
forward that recommendation to the Planning Commission. Also, the appropriate conditions of approval
should be artached to address any design considerations.

To whom it may concern,
I am very much in favor of the proposed project to build 30 SF detached homes on Terra Vista Pkwy, west of
Belpine. The our community stands a better chance of maintaining the good quality of our neighborhood
with the addition of single-family homes vs. aparlment complexes. I feel that people who own their property
have mere appreciation foi' their neighborhood since they have some stake in the future of their
neighborhood when they decide to sell their home. That is not to say the rentere do not care about their
community - that is not true.. Rentere can show the same appreciation and respect for their community.
Another issue I would like to raise with the Planning Department is that of the intersection of Milliken and
Terra Vista Parkway. Recently, I spoke to a gentleman in the Planning Department regarding the danger of
crossing this intersection - and the desperate need for a traffic signal. I was told that a traffic signal was part
of the "master plan' for Tetra Vista. Well, I have been a homeowner in Terra Vista for over four years and
have yet to see the fulfillment of this aspect of our 'master plan". However, what I have seen i~ a number of
traffic accidents at this specific location. I don't know if it will take one of our neighborhood children being hit
while trying to cross (on foot), or a fatal traffic accident, but I think it would be in the city's best interest to
install a traffic light at this intersection as soon as possible. In addition to it being almost impossible to cross
Milliken at 5pro, the slope of Milliken m~kes it even mere difficult to detect northbound traffic. -
My final concern for our 'master plan' iq Tetra Vista is "Central Park'. This sign ha~ also been posted for
over four years. I have yet to see any type of development on this lot (on the north side of Baseline between -
Milliken and Valencia. When does the city (or Lewis Homes) plan to develop this piece of property? I have
also raised this issue with the Planning Department: but was referred to Lewis Homes. I did not receive a
satisfactory answer from either the city or Lewis Homes.
Thank you, in advance for attentio~ to these matters

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

ANALYSIS:
A. Backqround: In August of 1986, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 12671
and the related design review application, commonly referred to as the "Calais" project. The
applicant constructed the majority of the development but left a remainder parcel at the
northwest corner of the site. In working with the Central School District, the applicant set
aside this parcel for use as a temporary school facility. Modular classrooms were brought to
the site and utilized until roughly 1994/95. W~th the completion of Coyote Canyon Elementary
and Ruth Musser Middle Schools, the modular classrooms were no longer needed by the
School District. The applicant is pursuing relocation of the modulars.
B. General: The applicant is proposing to develop 30 single family lots on the remaining parcel
from the original "Calais" tract. The lots proposed range in size from 3,543 to 6,876 square
feet with an average lot size of 4,163 square feet. The subdivision will complete the street
system originally planned for the area. The unit mix consists of one single-story floor plan
and three two-story floor plans. The single-story units are plotted on corner lots, where
possible, and paired to provide variation in the streetscape.
Under the Terra Vista Planned Community requirements, single family residential
development shall maintain a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet with an average lot size
of 5,500. If however, the applicant proposes an "innovative" product type, the minimum and
average lot size requirements can be reduced to 3,500 and 4,000 square feet, respectively.
The proposals by the applicant are consistent with the "Calais" project located at the
southwest corner of Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway. The "Calais" project was
previously recognized by the City as an innovative product and was a Design Award winner
in 1989. The units provide low walls at the front of the buildings to provide greater variation
along the streetscape and create small courtyard areas within the front yard. The applicant
is requesting the Planning Commission continue to consider the units as innovative.
C. Desion Review Committee: On January 16, 1996, the Design Review Committee (Lumpp,
McNiel, Henderson) reviewed the application. The Committee felt the architectural style
maintained the innovative concept originally approved with the "Calais" project. The
Committee also felt that the design of the project, as submitted, was acceptable and
recommended approval to the Planning Commission. Minutes are attached (see Exhibit "H").
D. Technical Review Committee: Under the terms of the Tetra Vista Planned Community,
residential projects are allowed to be developed within the next higher or lower density range
without going through a formal Development District Amendment (zone change). Such a
request, however, does require the City Council to approve the application. Because the
application is proposed at 8.7 dwelling units per acre, the development falls into the Medium
Residential category rather than the Low-Medium Residential category for which the property
is zoned. Therefore, the Planning Commission's action will be a recommendation to the City
Council.
E. Environmental Assessment: Staff has completed Part 2 of the Initial Study and determined
that the application will not have a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, staff is

Initial Study - Part II
Discussion of Environmental Evaluation
Project Description: TT 15725 - Lewis Homes
30 single family residences on 3.45 acres
Located on the S/S of Terra Vista Parkway. W/O Belpine
I. Earth:
a) The site is not within any known unstable earth condition area.
b) The site was previously graded to accommodate the modular buildings used for the
school. Additional grading will be required to provide the lots and streets for the
proposed subdivision. The grading will be conducted under the supervision of a
licensed surveyor or registered geologist. The impact is not significant.
c) The topography of the site will be altered slightly to accommodate the building pads
and streets. The grading will be supervised by a licensed soils engineer or registered
geologist to ensure compliance with Building Code requirements. The impact is not
significant.
d) No known or unique geologic or physical features exist on this site.
e) Upon completion, the site will be landscaped and/or paved to prevent soil erosion.
f) The subdivision should not affect any oceans, bays, rivers, or lakes.
g) The majority of Califomia is susceptible to earthquakes. The project is not within any
known special study zone that will require additional studies or that poses a unique
hazard.
II. Air:
a) The number of vehicles anticipated with this development is consistent with the
information contained in the Terra Vista EIR. The resultant air emissions will not
have a significant impact on air quality.
b) The proposed residential subdivision will not create any objectionable odors.
c) The proposed subdivision will not result in alteration to the climate or air movement.
III. Water:
a) The development of residential lots will not effect the currents or course of water
movement.
b) The absorption rate will be altered because of the paving and hardscape proposed.
All waters will be conveyed to approved drainage facilities which have been
designed to handle the flows. A Master Plan for drainage was considered as part of
the Terra Vista EIR and the mitigation outlined in the Master Plan will be
implemented with the development. The impact is not significant.
c) The project will not alter the course or flow of flood waters.
d) The development of single family lots will not affect the amount of surface water in
body.
Initial Study Part 2 Response
TT 15725
Page 2
e) The project will not be discharging into any surface waters.
f) No alteration of groundwater is expected to occur with this project.
g) No direct additions or withdrawals of ground water are proposed.
h) The project will be tying into existing facilities which have already been sized in
anticipation of this development. The amount of water usage is not significant.
i) The project is outside of the established flood plain.
IV. Plant Life:
a) All native vegetation was removed with the grading for the temporary school. Trees
and shrubs were installed as part of the school construction. The applicant will
remove existing vegetation and replace with comparable species.
b) There are known rare, unique, or endangered species on-site.
c) Landscaping introduced to the site will be compatible with existing landscaping
material. The plant palette will continue the pattem of existing development in the
area.
d) No agricultural crops exist on-site.
V. Animal Life:
a) There are no known animals that currently occupy the site on a regular basis.
b) There are no known rare, unique, or endangered species on-site.
c) No new species will be introduced as a result of the project.
d) The project is located within the interior of the City, surrounded by development.
In that no animals currently use the site on a regular basis, the development of homes
will have no impact on fish or wildlife habitat.
VI. Noise:
a) The noise level will be less than the previous school use but greater than the existing
unused site conditions. The level of noise is not significant.
b) The noise levels will be no greater than the existing noise levels from adjacent
development.
VII. Light and Glare:
a) New light and glare will be created because the property is not in use. The amount
and type of lighting is residential in nature and illuminates the immediate area.
Spillover is not expected.
VIII. Land Use:
a) No land use alteration is proposed with the application. The homes are permitted
within this area and are consistent with the Terra Vista EIR.
IX. Natural Resources:
a) The number of homes proposed will not significantly increase the rate of natural
resource consumption.
Initial Study Part 2 Response
TT 15725

X. Risk of Upset:
a) Single family residences do not typically contain materials of the type of quantities
that could lead to an explosion or the release of hazardous materials.
b) The homes will not interfere with emergency response.
XI. Population:

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
5:40 p.m. Scott Murphy January 16, 1996
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 15725 - LEWIS HOMES - Revie`,v
of the subdivision design, detailed site plan, and building elevations for 30 single family homes on 3.45
acres offand in the Low-Medium Residential designation (4-8 d`,velling units per acre) of the Terra Vista
Planned Community, located on the south side of Tetra Vista Park`,vay, ,,vest of Belpine Place - APN:
1077-091-35.
Design Parameters:
The site is located on the south side of Terra Vista Parkway on the previous site of the temporary Ruth
Musser Middle School and Coyote Canyon Elementary School. On September 8, 1993, the original tract,
Tract 12671 was approved by the Planning Commission. The tract was approved for 57 units but because
of the needs of the School District for a temporary school site, the final 30 units were not constructed and
the modular school buildings were installed. With the construction of permanent school facilities, the
site is no longer needed as a school facility. As a result, the applicant is looking to complete the project
with the same product type originally approved, the "Calais."
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project:
1. Within the Low-Medium Residential standards of the Terra Vista Community Plan, there are two
sets ofdeveIopment standards - those that apply to single famiIy, detached, center plot homes and
those that apply to "innovative" product types. Under the center plot requirements, the minimum
lot size shall be 5,000 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,500 square feet. Under the
innovative product type, the minimum lot size may be reduced to 3,500 square feet, with an
average lot size of 4,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing a minimum lot size of 3,543
square feet and an average lot size of 4,163 square feet.
As previously mentioned, the original tract was approved with the Calais product type on lots of
comparable size. The Calais product type was originally deemed as innovative by the Planning
Commission in approving the original tract. Staff believes that the completion of the tract with
comparable lot sizes and the same unit type is 'appropriate to maintain the continuity of the
neighborhood. Therefore, staff recommends that the product type be reaffirmed as "innovative"
to allow completion of the tract consistent with the original approvals and the existing'
neighborhood.
SecondaN Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Corru'nittee
will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Lots 21 and 22 should be reoriented to take access from Marmande Place. This will eliminate the
concem of vehicles backing out of the driveway on Lot 21 in close proximity to the street comer.
2. Single story units should be provided on all comer lots and within long rows of units to break the
two-story massing along the streetscape.
