pavement. Complete street improvements, including sidewalks and streetlights, will be
completed in conjunction with additional development within the master plan area north of
Target. The existing Liquidambar trees, which line the north face of the store, will be replaced
along the north side of the expanded building face.
D. Parkinq Calculations:
Number of
Type Square Parking Spaces
of Use Footage Ratio Required
Existing Store and
Garden Center 113,538 4.5/1,000 SF 511
Expansion Area 52,320 4.5/1,000 SF 235
TOTAL 165,858 746
Number of Spaces Provided: The parking calculations for Town Center, in its entirety, have
been updated to reflect the needs of the entire center (including Target expansion). With this
application, the required number of parking spaces is 2,806 stalls, and a total of 3,344 stalls
will be available on the site at the completion of this project.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: This Target Store has been very successful over the last ten years and the owners
now desire additional square footage to accommodate increased display areas in the store, a
basement level stock storage area, and the construction of a second building entry on the
westerly side of the building frontage on the south elevation. The increased building square
footage will be built along a portion of the north (rear) elevation, with the proposed basement
to be developed under the area of new construction. This will move the existing driveway to
the north by approximately 240 feet.
A lot line adjustment will also be required to increase the Target parcel from 8.45 acres to
11.45 acres. This will accommodate the increased building footprint as well as additional
parking spaces within the same parcel.
B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiei, Stewart, and Coleman)
reviewed the project on June 20, 2000. At that time, the Committee's primary focus was on
the northwestern portion of the building where a second-story storage space had been
proposed. Because of both exterior building design and structural seismic requirements, the
applicants have revised their original proposal to place the stock space in a basement, rather
than a second story. As a result, the design details of the north elevation were resolved bythe
use of building mounted trellis and including a small tower at the northwest corner of the
building for increased amhitectural detail from the Haven Avenue exposure. These
modifications have been prepared to the satisfaction of staff and are included within the
exhibits attached to this report, and no additional conditions of approval are necessary in this
regard.

CUP 99-40 -TARGET CORPORATION

The master plan of the area north of Target (including parking for Polar Ice and Edwards
Theater) was also modified from the original proposal. The applicants now propose to leave
the existing Edwards Theater parking area and entry drive in place, while simply increasing
parking immediately north of Target in order to tie the existing driveway into the modifications
at the rear of the store. This has been accomplished to the satisfaction of staff and is reflected
in the plans within this report, and no additional conditions of approval are necessary in this
regard.
The Committee also discussed signage on the south (front) elevation of the Target Store. The
applicant has proposed a PHARMACY sign on the front elevation. The Committee indicated
that such secondary signage, which is occasionally used in Town Center and Town Center
Square, are always associated with a separate building entrance, such as Montgomery Wards'
ELECTRIC AVENUE sign, orthe COPYMAX and FURNITUREMAX signs used by Office Max.
Therefore, unless the PHARMACY sign is associated with one of the building entries, the
Committee did not support the use of the secondary signage.
C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on June
21,2000. All standard and special conditions have been included in the attached Resolution
of Approval.
D. Environmental Assessment: The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study and staff
completed Part II, the Environmental Checklist Form. The attached Resolution of Approval
contains mitigation for air quality impacts during project construction and replacement of
existing Liquidambar trees along the north side of the existing building.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a
300-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission issue a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and adopt the Resolution of Approval for Conditional Use Permit 99-40, subject to all
conditions of approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-40- TARGET
CORPORATION - The proposed addition of 52,320 square feet to the existing 101,800 square foot
Target store with an 11,738 square foot outdoor garden center; an increase in the existing parcel
from 8.45 acres to 11.45 acres; and a modification to the Town Center Master Plan for the 61 .gacre
Terra Vista Town Center, located at the northeast comer of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in
the Community Commercial (CC) land use district of the Terra Vista Community Plan. APN: 1077
421-068, and a portion of 087.
Design Parameters: The Target store is located in the westerly portion of Terra Vista Town Center.
The existing Target store, along with much of Town Center was built approximately ten years ago.
The store has been very successful and the owners now desire additional square footage to
accommodate an increased display area in the store, a second-story stock storage area, and the
construction of a second building entry on the westedy portion of the south elevation.
To accommodate the additional parking demand as required to meet Development Code
requirements, the parcel associated with the Target store will increase from 8.45 acres to 11.45
acres. Adequate parking is available on-site to allow the increased square footage.
In addition, the Town Center Master Plan, for that area northerly of Target, is being modified to
accommodate the anticipated future users of this portion of Town Center. The modificatim includes
relocation of driveways from Town Center Drive onto the site, and recenfigudng of the existing
parking area in this location to accommodate anticipated uses in this portion of the project, as well
as the Target store and the theater.
All streets surrounding Town Center have been improved with curb, gutter and pavement.
Complete street improvements, including sidewalks, driveways,streetlights, etc., will be completed
along with the various phases of the amended Master Plan.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
TARGET Expansion Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project.
1. The second-story addition at the rear of the building may have a negative effect to the
.architectural integrity of the building as viewed from Haven Avenue, or parking and circulation
~n the rear of the store. The front of Target is approximately 600 feet north of Foothill
Boulevard, and the second-story addition is another 300 feet north of the front of the store,
therefore, the line-of-site from Foothill Boulevard will be minimized.
However, the west elevation, facing Haven Avenue, is approximately 240 feet east of the
street right-of-way. At some time in the future, a building may be constructed on Pad H that
may help to screen this elevation; however, there is no approved project for Pad H at this
time. Therefore, the easterly and northerly corners of the store addition will have the most
exposed view (see note 2). The Planning Commission worked hard to obtain a 360-degree
architecture in Terra Vista Town Center. The proposed addition is a simple box, with no
architectural interest other than a cornice, and is inconsistent with the very high quality of this
shopping center.
The applicant shall provide a true representation, by means of line-of-sight, of the degree of
visibility that the second-story addition will have from the parking lot behind Target from
Haven Avenue. Use an overlay to depict the second-story addition on the color rendering for
Committee review.

2. Address the northwest corner of the building through a combination of architecture and
landscaping. A tower element would work well at this corner as a focal point from both the
west and north as project entry points are odented in this direction. In addition, look at the
option of closing the circulation on the south side of Pad H, to provide a landscape screen for
the west elevation of Target.
3. Along the nodh edge of the loading dock (Rear Elevation), connect the walkway from the rear
exit door to the sidewalk running along the front of the parking stalls, and add landscaping
along the retaining wall separating the parking from the loading dock.
4. Add landscape planters at the front expansion at the new west entry (also around the comer
on the west side of the entry), similar to those at the front of the existing east entry.
5. The applicant is proposing additional building signage on the front elevation- PHARMACY.
The sign program permits this type of secondary signage, with DRC approval. Examples of
similar signage in Town Center and Town Center Square include: the existing GARDEN
CENTER sign at Target; the Wards ELECTRIC AVENUE sign; and the COPYMAX and
FURNITURE MAX signs at the Office Max. The Office Max is the only store with two
secondary signs.
6. Add landscaping along the most easterly projection of the east elevation (Right), this is an
employee entrance.
Master Plan Issues:
1. The southerly termination of the new entry off of Town Center Drive (easterly of Polar Ice)
lacks a focal point at the southerly terminus of the ddve aisle. A proposed solution to the
driveway alignment is attached for your consideration (see Exhibit "A").
2. The drive aisle that runs between Sav-On and Polar Ice shou d be shifted ea.s!,,e, rly (toward
Polar Ice) in order to create a better intersection behind Target, (see Exhibit B ).
3. The pedestrian promenade through the parking lot (between Polar ice and the Theater) shall
include the promenade elements used in the front portion of Town Center (i.e. kiosks,
benches, etc.). In addition, the large parking area shall include the concept of "Drifting"
sycamore (London plane) through the parking areas as is done in front.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be redesigned and retumed for further
review.

TARGET Expansion Issues
1/2. The Committee concurred thatthe 40-foot high wall at the rear elevation, and the northwest
comer of the building must be addressed with additional design detail. The applicant
presented an alternate Plan with the second story addition pushed to the east side of the
building. This Plan allows a stepping of the building height from the west elevation. They
also presented a second Plan, which reflected tower feature at the northwest corner of the
building (at the second story level).
The Committee felt that the wall needed features to bring it down to a human scale, such as
trellis. The Committee also expressed concern about the length/height of the rear elevation
and the desire for additional attention to details such as- enlarge the tile medallions,
change the locations and proportions of the building bands along with the height of the
building color change; use attached trellis elements with, or whiteout attached vines, etc.
The Committee preferred the tower detail in combination with some of the ideas discussed
with the architect. The architect can work with staffto adequately address the committees
concerns, prior to proceeding to the Planning Commission.
3/4/6. Include these comments as conditions of approval, or identify on revised plans.
5. The Committee did not approve the use of the Pharmacy sign as proposed. Throughout
Town Center, if a secondary sign was used, it was to identify a second entry into the store,
as noted above. However, the Pharmacy sign may be considered if it were placed near the
second entry. The Committee discouraged the use of two TARGET signs as suggested by
the applicant. The Planning Commission will review the proposed sign placement and make
the final determination.
Master Plan Issues
1. The applicant presented a layout solution to this ddveaisle that the Committee found acceptable.
The solution offers a large landscape island at the southerly end of the driveway, similar to the
example provided as Exhibit "A."
2. The applicant discussed with the Committee the various advantages and/or disadvantages
of relocating the driveway as shown on Exhibit "B." The Committee agreed to maintain the
driveway in its present design configuration, with the elimination of 6 parking spaces near
the northwest corner of TARGET so they would not be backing into the intersection.
3. Include as condition of approval.

BACKGROUND
1. Project File: Conditional Use Permit 99-40
2. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit 88-12 (as modified)
3. Description of Project:
The proposed addition of 52,320 square feet to the existing 101,800 square foot Target
Store with an 11,738'square foot outdoor garden center; an increase in the existing
parcel from 8.45 acres to 11.45 acres; and a modification to the Town Center Master
Plan for the 61.9 acre Terra Vista Town Center, located at the northeast corner of Haven
Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in the Community Commercial (CC) land use district of
the Terra Vista Community Plan. APN: 1077-421-068, and a portion of 087.
4. Project Sponsor's Name and Address:
Target Corporation
1000 Nicollet Mall
Minneapolis, MN 55403
5. General Plan Designation: Community Commercial
6. Zoning: Community Commercial/Terra Vista Community Plan
7. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting:
The Target Store is located in the westerly portion of Terra Vista Town Center. The
existing Target Store, along with much of Town Center was built approximately ten years
ago. The store has been very successful and the owners now desire additional square
footage to accommodate increased display area in the store, a basement level stock
storage area, and the construction of a second building entry on the westerly portion of
the south elevation.
To accommodate the additional parking demand as required to meet Development Code
requirements, the parcel associated with the Target Store will increase from 8.45 acres
to 11.45 acres. Adequate parking is available on-site to allow the increased square
footage.
In addition, the Town Center Master Plan, for that area north of Target, is being modified
to accommodate the anticipated future users of this portion of Town Center. The
modification includes a relocation of driveways from Town Center Drive onto the site,
and reconfiguring of the existing parking area in this location to accommodate
anticipated uses in this portion of the project, as well as the Target Store and the theater.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an
explanation is required for all "Potentially Significant Impact," "Potentially Significant Impact
Unless Mitigation Incorporated," and "Less Than Significant Impact" answers, including a
discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects identified.
1. I.I~J~3 USE I~ID ~ Would the proposah
a) Conflict with general plan designation or ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
zoning?
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project?
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
vicinity?
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
established community?
Comments:
a-d) The proposed project was designed to conform to the Community Commercial
District of the Terra Vista Community Plan. No increase in use beyond what is
anticipated by the Terrs Vista Community Plan or the Town Center Master Plan
is proposed, nor is a land use plan amendment proposed.
2. POPULATION ~ HOUS~C~ Would the proposah
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ) ( ) ( ) (x)
population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ) ( ) ( ) (x)
directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an
undeveloped area or extension of major
infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ) ( ) ( ) (x)
housing?
Comments:
a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. The existing Target Store employs approximately 300
persons. The management estimates that approximately 10 percent of the
store's current 300 employees reside within the City. Other employees are
drawn from the immediate area. The proposed structure addition will not impact
the local or regional population or housing needs.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: ~,. M~o. ~r,:~ ,o
C) The site is currently that of the existing Terra Vista Town Center, including a
variety of commemial, retail, and service uses. The proposed project will not
impact existing housing.
3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in or
expose people to potential impacts involving:
a) Fault rupture? ( ) (x)
b) Seismic ground shaking? (x) ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ) (x)
d) Seiche hazards? ( ) (x)
e) Landslides or mudflows? ( ) (x)
f) Erosion, changes in topography, or unstable ( ) (x)
soil conditions from excavation, grading, or fill?
g) Subsidence of the land? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
h) Expansive soils? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is
it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault.
The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within I mile south of the
site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 31/2 miles northerly.
These faults are both capable of producing IV~ 6.0-7.0 earthquakes, respectively.
Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is 11
miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2
earthquakes, is 15 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce
strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake
coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. The
site is otherwise located on stable soils. Adhedng to the Uniform Building Code
will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so landslides or mudflows are not likely to occur.
f) The site is relatively flat. Grading will be limited to preparation of approximately
35,000 square feet of foundation area at the rear of the building. Grading for the
foundation is necessary to create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper
site drainage.
g, h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively
drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They

are relatively stable but are subject to liquefaction when the water table is
relatively shallow. A soils report will be required by the Building and Safety
Division prior to issuance of building permits.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.
4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) (X) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) (X)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) (X)
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) (X)
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) (X)
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) (X)
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) (X)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) (X)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) (X)
groundwater otherwise available for public
water supplies?
Comments:
a) The proposed Target expansion will disturb a surface area of approximately 2~
acres that is part of an existing shopping center. An undeveloped portion of the
shopping center lying north of the existing Target Store will be included in site
improvements, due to the relocation of the drive-aisle which runs north of
Target. This construction will have a minimal impact to the drainage system at
the site.
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
c-e) Tl~e project site is not located near a body of water.

Conditional Use Permit 99-40 - Target Stores Page 6
Issues and Supporting Information Sources: P~o.~.~ u~,.. ~
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the
area.
5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal'.
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (X) ( ) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (X) ( ) ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, ( ) ( ) (X)
or cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (X)
Comments:
a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety
Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During
construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading
the site. Nonetheless, dust emissions could be sufficient to warrant the use of
water or other dust palliatives at this site.
Soumes of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from
construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of
construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. NOx and
PMlo levels may be exceeded during this phase; however with implementation of
the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less-than-significant
levels.
1) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy
efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the
construction grading plans include a statement that all construction
equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications.
2) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative
fuel powered equipment where feasible.
3) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading
plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment
when not in use.
c-d) The proposed Target Store expansion will not generate emissions that could
cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the
proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ( ) (X) ( )
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., ( ) ( ) (X)
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to ( ) ( ) (X)
nearby uses?
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ( ) ( ) (X)
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or ( ) ( ) (X)
bicyclists?
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)?
g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
Comments:
a) The proposed addition is providing additional square footage for a second front
entry (1,723 square feet), additional display area (34,691 square feet), and an
additional stock room (15,906 square feet). These store additions will increase
the demand for parking by 235 spaces (4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet), and
may contribute an incremental increase to customer traffic attracted to the Terra
Vista Town Center. No new uses are being added to the site operation.
b, c) The proposed addition to the Target Store will not create hazards or result in
inadequate emergency access to the site.
d) The existing store, consisting of 113,538 square feet, currently has 511 parking
stalls available on-site. With the addition of 52,320 square feet to the store, 235
parking spaces will be required, for a total of 746. Based on the latest parking
calculations for the entire Terra Vista Town Center, there are currently 3,178
spaces on-site. With the additional spaces being constructed by the Target
Store, that total will change to 3,251. With the Target expansion included, the
current required parking total is 2,806. Therefore, adequate parking is provided
on-site
e-f) The proposed addition to the existing Target Store will not impact cyclists or
pedestrians nor create transportation-related hazards. The perimeter of the site
is full improved with curbs, gutters, sidewalk, streetlights, signalization, and the
appropriate turn lanes.
g) Located 5 miles north of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight
path and will not be dangerous to users or aimraft.

7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or ( ) ( ) ( (X)
their habitats (including, but not limited to:
plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (X) ( ( )
eucalyptus windrow, etc.)?
c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( (X)
eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) ( ) ( (X)
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
Comments:
a) The site of the store expansion is developed with either landscaping, walkways,
or drive-aisles. No natural habitat exists on the site and the property is beyond
the boundary of potential habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly. No
sensitive species were detected on-site and it is unlikely any will move onto the
site because of the lack of natural habitat and the shopping center.
b) There are currently many mature trees on the north side of the Target building
which were planted at the time of construction ten years ago. Proposed removal
of all mature trees along the north edge of the building and driveway will be
done in conjunction within the project development. Some of the existing trees
meet the requirements for a tree removal permit (15 feet in height and 15 inches
in circumference as measured 24 feet above the ground surface). Any tree
subject to the Tree Removal criteria will be noted and a permit obtained prior to
grading permit issuance. As mitigation for removal, the trees shall be
replaced on a one-for-one basis.
c-d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site, nor is there a locally designated
natural community.
e) The site, along with much of the surrounding area, is developed. However,
development along Haven Avenue and throughout Terra Vista has eliminated
any wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.
8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
plans?
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
Conditional Use Permit 99-40 - Target Stores Page 9
Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PotefltiaJly UnleSs
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
inefficient manner?
c) Result in the loss of availability of a known ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
mineral resource that would be of future value
to the region and the residents of the State?
Comments:
c) The project site is not located in a Classified or Designated Mineral Resource
area by the State Mining and Geology Board as identified by the San Bernardino
County General Plan.
9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) (×)
hazardous substances (including, but not
limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or
radiation)?
b) Possible intederence with an emergency ( ) ( ) (X)
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) (X)
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) (×)
potential health hazards?
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) (X)
brush, grass, or trees?
Comments:
a/c) There is no evidence of commemial or industrial uses other than pnor vineyard
cultivation. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes or
discolored soils were observed during the construction of Terra Vista Town
Center. There was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal
dumping of refuse on-site.
10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
Comments:
a-b) The proposed project will not produce any noticeable long-term noise impacts,
as the existing Target Store, along with the rest of Town Center were developed
over ten years ago. The temporary increase in noise during construction, or
increased roadway noise by additional vehicle trips, is not considered significant

because they will not impact the existing pattern of noise which has evolved
over the last ten years since this shopping center was constructed. The nearest
residents are located'approximately ~.4 mile north of the site.
11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? ( ) (X)
b) Police protection? ( ) (X)
c) Schools? ( ) (X)
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including ( ) (X)
roads?
e) Other governmental services? ( ) (X)
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The site, located on the east side of Haven Avenue north of
Foothill Boulevard is served by a fire station located near Jersey Boulevard and
Milliken Avenue, approximately 2 miles from the project site. Standard
conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed
on the project.
Police Protection - The proposed expansion to the existing Target Store may
incrementally increase the need for routine police protection services, which is
consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and Development
Impact Fee Schedules adopted by the City Council.
Schools - The proposed Target Store expansion will not increase the need for
schools, because no new employees will be added to the store as a result of this
project. Nevertheless, development impact fees have been established by the
school district for commercial development, which will be payable prior to
building permits being issued.
Parks - The proposed Target Store expansion will not incrementally increase
the need for park and recreation services, because no additional employees will
be added as a result of this expansion.
Public Facilities - The proposed Target Store expansion may incrementally
increase traffic on adjacent streets, consistent with the expectations of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. Terra Vista Community Plan, and the
Terra Vista Town Center Conditional Use Permit. The appropriate Development
Impact Fees have been adopted by the City Council to address incremental
impacts to the city-wide circulation system.

12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the
proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies
or substantial alterations to the following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? ( ) ( ) (×)
b) Communication systems? ( ) ( ) (X)
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution ( ) ( ) (X)
facilities?
d) Sewer or septic tanks? ( ) ( ) (X)
e) Storm water drainage? ( ) ( ) (×)
f) Solid waste disposal? ( ) ( ) (X)
g) Local or regional water supplies? ( ) ( ) (×)
Comments:
a-g) The proposed Target Store expansion will include the construction of 52,320
square feet of retail floor space and stock storage space. Existing utility
systems are available to the existing store. The proposed expansion will not
require major modifications or alterations to the existing utility systems.
13. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal:
a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
effect?
c) Create light or glare? ( ) ( ) (X) ( )
Comments:
a/b) The Target Store is located within the Terra Vista Town Center, which was
developed approximately ten years ago under very strict design guidelines
regarding architecture, landscaping, and signage. The proposed expansion to
Target will be held to the same high design standards as reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission.
c) The proposed Target Store expansion may incrementally add to creating
additional light or glare within the area. The existing store is within a shopping
center, with retail and office development surrounding the site.
14. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposah
a) Disturb paleontological resources? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
b) Disturb archaeological resources? ( ) ( ) ( ) (×)

c) Affect historical or cultural resources? ( ) (X) ( )
d) Have the potential to cause a physical change ( ) ( ) (X)
which would affect unique ethnic cultural
values?
e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within ( ) ( ) (X)
the potential impact area?
Comments:
a-e) No cultural resources have been observed on-site or during grading of the
existing shopping center. As the proposed expansion will impact a surface area
of approximately 2~ acres, and the adjacent and surrounding areas have been
disturbed, the likelihood of unearthing cultural resources is minimal and impacts
are considered less than significant.
15. RECREATION. Would the proposal:
a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
regional parks or other recreational facilities?
b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? ( ) ( ( ) (X)
Comments:
a) The proposed Target Store expansion will not incrementally ~ncrease the need
for park and recreation services because no additional employment will be
created as a result of this expansion.
b) The proposed Target Store expansion will have no impact to existing
recreational opportunities. The surrounding properties have been developed
with either retail or office park development.
16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?

Issues and Supporting Information Sources:
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( ) (X)
environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The proposed Target Store expansion will be an addition of 52,320 square feet
to the existing 113,538 square foot store. The site is completely landscaped.
The proposed expansion will be placed within a portion of the site that presently
is a drive-aisle, which will be relocated further north of the store. No
endangered or sensitive species or habitats will be affected by this project.
b) The proposed Target Store expansion will impact approximately 21,,~ acres and
grading will be limited to preparing the pad for the building foundation and
development of the roadbed along the north side of the building. There are no
sensitive receptors nearby that would be significantly affected by noise and
fugitive dust associated with construction of the facility.
c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable. The site is within a commercially zoned area which permits this
type of retail store development. The initial study did not identify any impacts
that could not be mitigated through the City's standard conditions of approval.
d) The Target Store is located on an 11.45-acre portion of Terra Vista Town
Center. The proposed expansion to the store would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located
in a commercially zoned area along Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-21 -
POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT INC. - The proposed development of a 75,000
square foot ice skating facility, including on-site sale of alcoholic beverages within
the food concession area, on a 5.19 acre portion of Terra Vista Town Center and a
modification to a portion of the Town Center Master Plan, located near the southeast
corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Ddve in the Community Commercial (CC)
land use district of the Terra Vista Community Plan - APN: 1077-421- 87.

of Use Footaqe Ratio* Requ red
Recreation and
accessory uses 75,000 3.75/1000 281
* Based on parking analysis conducted specific to ice rink requirements.
Number of Spaces Provided: The parking calculations for Town Center, in its entirety, have
been updated to reflect the needs of the entire center (including Polar Ice, as well as
Conditional Use Permit 99-40- Target expansion). With this application, the required number
of parking spaces is 3,087 stalls, and a total of 3,344 stalls will be available on the site at the
completion of this project.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Polar Ice has proposed the development of a 75,000 square foot facility which
includes two ice dnks, a retail sales area, and a food concession area which proposes the on-
site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. A small loading dock is provided at the rear
of the b. uilding to facilitate the occasional remova of the Zamboni for servicing, maintenance,
or repairs. One rink will be equipped with bleachers for audience observation of activity on the
rink.
The design of the facility is in keeping with the overall architectural guidelines and
expectations of Terra Vista Town Center, while incorporating aspects of Polar Ice corporate
architectural symbols and elements such as the arched building entry and distinct corporate
signage which has been incorporated into design of the towers and building facades.
B. Desiqn Review Committe~. The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, and Coleman)
reviewed the project on July 6, 2000. Staff had identified for the Committee that the rear
elevation of Polar Ice should be consistent in the level of detail used on the rear of the Target
store. The applicant addressed the concern by presenting modified elevations for Committee
review. Polar Ice will include a condition of approval requiring consistent landscaping along
the driveway between Target and Polar Ice, including the use of Liquidambar Trees along the
rear building elevation. The applicant agreed to incorporate the use of benches near the front
entry space for the convenience of those who will be picked-up or dropped-off at the ice rink.
The master plan of the area east of Polar Ice (including parking for Polar Ice and Edwards
Theater) was also modified from the original proposal. The applicants now propose to leave
the existing parking area and entry drive in place, while simply increasing parking in the area
along the southeast corner of the Polar Ice building, in order to tie the existing driveway into
the rear of the building. This has been accomplished to the satisfaction of staff and is
reflected in the plans within this report, and no additional conditions of approval are necessary
in this regard.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:00 p.m. Debra Meier July 6, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-21 - POLAR ICl-
ENTERTAINMENT INC. - The proposed development of a 75,000 square foot ice skating facility on
a 5.19 acre portion of Terra Vista Town Center; and a modification to a portion of the Town Center
Master Plan, located near the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and Town Center Drive in the
Community Commercial (CC) land use district of the Terra Vista Community Plan.- APN: 1077-
421-87.
Desi,qn Parameters: Polar Ice is located in the northwesterly portion of Terra Vista Town Center.
The existing Target store immediately to the south, along with much of Town Center was built
approximately ten years ago. Primary access to Polar Ice will be from Town Center Drive.
In addition, the Town Center Master Plan, for that area east of the proposed Polar Ice and west of
the Theater, is being revised to accommodate a modification to the parking lot and on-site
circulation. The modification includes relocation of driveways from Town Center Drive onto the site,
and reconfiguring of the existing parking area in this location to address the parking needs of Polar
Ice, the Target expansion and the Theater. The parking lot will be reconstructed and landscaped as
necessary.
All streets surrounding Town Center have been improved with curb, gutter and pavement.
Complete street improvements, including sidewalks, driveways, streetlights, etc. will be completed
along with the various phases of the amended Master Plan.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Polar Ice Architectural desiqn issues:
1. The South elevation shall be detailed to a level similar to the existing Target, including a
wainscot-like trim/molding and color change. In addition, the projection from the building
that serves as the dock access to the Zamboni, may also present a natural place to add a
roof element for additional distraction of the long building face.
2. The entry design on the north elevation should use a stronger element, such as increasing
height or using a major tower and at the same time the proposed tower on the right side
appears more dominate than the entry. Also extend an overhead trellis on one or both sides
of the entry and include with bench.
Polar Ice Landscape and Site Plan desiqn issues:
1. Provide consistent landscaping on both sides of the drive between Target and Polar Ice-
Target is proposing to remove and replace the Liquidambar, while Polar Ice is proposing
Austrian Willow.
2. Add trees to the space west of the Zamboni dock.
3. Use decorative pavement across the drive aisle on the east side of the building where the
pedestrian promenade crosses.
DRC COMMENTS
CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
July 6, 2000
Page 2
Master Plan Issues: (Master Plan Issues are identical to those raised with Conditional Use
Permit 99-40 - Target Expansion):
1. The southerly termination of the new entry off of Town Center Drive (easterly of Polar Ica)
lacks a focal point at the southerly terminus of the drive aisle. A proposed solution to the
driveway alignment is attached for your consideration, Exhibit "A."
2. The drive aisle that runs between Sav-On and Polar Ice, should be shifted easterly (toward
Polar Ice) in order to create a better intersection behind Target, see Exhibit "B," attached.
3. The pedestrian promenade through the ~arking lot (between Polar Ice and the Theater) shall
include the promenade elements used in the front portion of Town Center (i.e. gazebos,
benches, etc.). In addition, the large parking area shall include the concept of "Drifting"
sycamore (London plane) through the parking areas a's is done in front, Exhibit "C."
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee discuss the issues noted above,
along with any other issues as identified by the Committee, determine appropriate conditions of
approval and or modifications required prior to Planning Commission consideration.

Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart and Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
The Committee requested that the remaining details to be worked out with staff and the project will
be scheduled for the next available Planning Commission meeting:
Buildinq Desi,qn and Site Plan Issues:
The architect presented revised building elevations in response to staff comments, the rear
elevation (south) has been appropriately detailed similar to Target, and the front elevation (north)
was described by the architect to fully detail the variations in building I~eight and plane. As a result,
the Committee approved the front elevation as proposed by the applicant without any further
revisions.
The applicant will work with staff to place benches near the front entry in proximity to the drop-
off/pick-up zone.
The landscaping along the rear of Polar Ice shall be consistent with the use of Liquidambar Trees
unless design circumstances warrant modifications.
The Master Plan of the parking area east of Polar Ice will not be reconstructed/redesigned as
originally proposed. The existing driveways and parking will remain; the Site Plan will be modified
only to tie the Polar Ice and Target parking and aces into the existing layout. The Committee
concurred with this arrangement, details to be reviewed by staff.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: po~.~y u.~.~ ~
1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal:
a) Conffict with general plan designation or zoning? ( ) ( ) ) (./')
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) ) (,/)
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project?.
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
vicinity?
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ( ) ( ) ( ) (V')
established community?
Comments:
a-d) The proposed ice dnk was designed to conform to the Community Commercial
District of the Terra Vista Community Plan. No increase in use beyond what is
anticipated by the Terra Vista Community Plan or the Town Center Master Plan is
proposed, nor is a land use plan amendment proposed.
Issues and Supporting Information Sources: ~o.~y un,,= Th.~
2. POPI. YLATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ) ( ) (,/') ( )
population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an
undeveloped area or extension of major
infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
housing?
Comments:
a-b) Polar Ice will employ 50-60 people, and, with the exception of the General Manager,
all employees will be drawn from within the City and/or the local region. This level
of employment growth is not in excess of regional or local population projection.
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. Page 4
Only the General Manager is expected to locate from outside the region. This one
additional family to the city or region is not considered growth inducing.
c) The site is currently that of the existing Terra Vista Town Center, including a vadety
of commercial, retail, and service uses. The proposed project will not impact
existing housing.

3. GEOLOG~ PRDBLEMS. Would the proposal result in
or expose people to potential irnpacfs involving:
a) Fault rupture? ( ) ( ) ( ) (V')
b) Seismic ground shaking? ( ) ( ) (~') ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
d) Seiche hazards? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,f)
e) Landslides or mudflows? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
f) Erosion, changes in topography, or unstable soil ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
conditions from excavation, grading, or fill?
g) Subsidence of the land? ( ) ( ) ( ) (V')
h) Expansive soils? ( ) ( ) ( ) (./)
i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies
Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill
Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within one mile south of
the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 31/2 miles northerly.
These faults are both capable of producing MW 6.0-7.0 earthquakes, respectively.
Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to MwT.5 earthquakes, is 11 miles
northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is
15 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground
shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an
extended pedod of heavy rains raising the local water table. The site is otherwise
located on stable soils. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that
geologic impacLs are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat, so landslides or mudflows are not likely to occur.
f) The site is relatively flat. Grading will be limited to preparation of approximately
10acres for building pad and parking lot development and/or reconstruction.
Initial Study for* City of Rancho Cucamonga
CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. Page 5
Grading of the site is necessary to create the necessary slope gradient to allow
proper site drainage.
g/h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively
drained, heady level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They are
relatively stable but are subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively
shallow. A soils report will be required by the Building and Safety Division, pdor to
issuance of building permits.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) 0 (,/) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?.
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ( ) ( ) (,/)
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ( ) ( ) (,/,)
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/.)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies?
Comments:
a) The proposed Polar Ice will disturb a surface area of approximately 10 acres that is
part of an existing shopping center. This is the last undeveloped portion of Terra
Vista Town Center. This construction will complete the on-site drainage system
providing connections to the public storm drain as necessary.
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga

5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (,/') ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (,/) ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) (,/)
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (,/)
Comments:
a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-
Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is
the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the site. Therefore, dust
emissions could be sufficient to warrant the use of water or other dust palliatives at
this site.
Sources of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from
construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of
construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. NOx and
PM10 levels may be exceeded dudng this phase; however with implementation of
the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less-than-significant
levels.
1) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used
on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The
construction contractor shall ensure the construction Grading Plans
include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered
equipment in-lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible.
3) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction Grading Plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in
use,
c-d) The proposed Polar Ice will not generate emissions that could cause climatic
changes or objectionable odors.

6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the
proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ( ) ( ) (,/') ( )
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
nearby uses?
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ( ( ) ( ) (,/')
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? ( ( ) ( ) (,/')
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)?
g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
Comments:
a) The proposed addition of Polar Ice to Terra Vista Town Center may incrementally
increase the traffic congestion in the immediate vicinity due to the development of a
destination-oriented commercial ice dnk. This northwesterly portion of Terra Vista
Town Center was once envisioned to be a "Design Center;" however, due to the
recent approval of Say-On drugstore and the proposed expansion of Target, the
proposed ice rink is a compatible addition to the existing retail uses, the theater, and
the nearby food court.
b/c) The proposed ice rink will not create hazards or result in inadequate emergency
access to the site.
d) The development of Polar Ice includes the necessary on-site parking to compliment
the use and the surrounding uses (i.e. Edwards Theater and Target expansion), as
determined by an update to the overall parking tabulation for the entire Terra Vista
Town Center.
e-f) The proposed Polar Ice will not impact cyclists or pedestrians nor create
transportation-related hazards. The perimeter of the site is fully improved with
curbs, gutters, sidewalk, streetlights, signalization, and the appropriate turn lanes
and the on-site pedestrian promenade will be extended and completed through the
site.
g) Located 5 miles north of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path
and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft

7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) ( ) (-f)
habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish,
insects, animals, and birds)?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., hedtage trees, ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
eucalyptus windrow, etc.)?
c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, dpadan, and ( ) ( ) ( ) (,f)
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
Comments:
a) The proposed site of Polar Ice is the only remaining undeveloped portion of Town
Center, which was developed approximately ten years ago. The site has been
maintained for weed control and no natural habitat exists on the site. The property
is beyond the boundary of potential habitat for the Delhi Sands flowering-loving fly.
No sensitive species were detected on-site and it is unlikely any will move onto the
site due to the lack of natural habitat and the shopping center.
b-c) There are currently mature trees on the site, which were planted at the time of
construction ten years ago and which will be preserved.
d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site.
e) Much of the surrounding area is developed, which has over time eliminated any
wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.

8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) (-/')
plans?
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
inefficient manner?

9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ( ) ( ) (,/)
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ( ) ( ) (,/)
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
potential health hazards?
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
brush, grass, or trees?
Comments:
a/c There is no evidence of commercial or industrial uses other than prior vineyard
cultivation. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes, or
discolored soils were observed during the construction of Terra Vista Town Center.
There is no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-
site.

Comments:
a-b) The proposed project will not produce any noticeable long-term noise ~mpacts, as
the Terra Vista Town Center has developed over the past ten years. The temporary
increase in noise dudng construction, or increased roadway noise by additional
vehicle tdps, is not considered significant because they will not impact the existing
pattem of noise which has evolved over the last ten years since this shopping
center was constructed. The nearest residents are located approximately 1/4 mile
north of the site.

11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the preposal have an
effect upon or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
c) Schools? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/')
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The site, located on the east side of Haven Avenue north of Foothill
Boulevard, is served by a fire station located near Jersey Boulevard and Milliken
Avenue, approximately 2 miles from the project site. Standard conditions of
approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project.
Police protection - The proposed Polar Ice may incrementally increase the need for
routine police protection services, which is consistent with the City of Rancho
Cucamonga General Plan and Development Impact Fee Schedules adopted by the
City Council.
Schools - The proposed Polar Ice may incrementally increase the need for schools,
due the increase of 50-60 employees to the facility. However, the company
anticipates that many of these employees will be residents of the immediate area.
Nevertheless, development impact fees have been established by the school distdct
for commercial development, which will be payable, pdor to building permits being
issued.
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. Page 11
Parks - The proposed Polar Ice may incrementally increase the need for park and
recreation services, because 50-60 persons will be employed by the facility, a small
number of these employees may be new to the community.
Public facilities -The proposed Polar Ice may incrementally increase traffic on
adjacent streets, consistent with the expectations of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
General Plan, Terra Vista Community Plan, and the Terra Vista Town Center
Conditional Use Permit. The appropriate Development Impact Fees have been
adopted by the City Council to address incremental impacts to the city-wide
circulation system.

12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the
proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies
or substantial alterations to the fo/lowing utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
b) Communication systems? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)

d) Have the potential to cause a physical change, ( ) ( ) (/)
which would affect unique ethnic cultural values?
e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within ( ) ( ) (/)
the potential impact area?
Comments:
a-e) No cultural resources have been observed on-site or during grading of the existing
shopping center. As the proposed expansion will impact a surface area of
approximately 10 acres, and the adjacent and surrounding areas have been
disturbed, the likelihood of unearthing cultural resources is minimal and impacts are
considered less than significant.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) ) (,/)
potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) ) (,/')
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( ) (./')
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. Page 14
Comments:
a) The proposed Polar Ice is a proposed 75,000 square foot bce dnk, which will include
parking lot improvements and landscaping. The developed portion of Town Center
is completely landscaped. The proposed ice dnk will be placed within the only
remaining undeveloped portion of the site. No endangered or sensitive species or
habitats will be effected by this project.
b) The proposed Polar Ice will impact approximately 10 acres and grading will be
preformed in order to prepare the pad for the building foundation, and development
of parking areas. There are no sensitive receptors within 1/4 mile of the site that
would be significantly affected by noise and fugitive dust associated with
construction of the facility.
c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable. The site is within a Commercially-zoned area which permits this type
of commercial recreation development. The Initial Study did not identify any
impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's standard conditions of
approval.
d) The proposed Polar Ice is located on a 10-acre portion of Terra Vista Town Center,
the proposed ice dnk would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly. The site is located in a commercially zoned area along
Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

C. Site Characteristics: The site is located in the southwest quadrant of the Terra Vista
Community Plan. The site and the surrounding araa was historically used as a vineyard;
however, the vineyards were removed when much of Terra Vista was rough graded in 1984.
There are no existing trees or other structures on-site. Milliken Avenue and Chumh Street
have been improved with curb, gutter, and pavement. Any missing public improvements, such
as sidewalks and streetlights, will be completed with either Conditional Use Permit 99-61 or
Tentative Parcel Map 15349.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The self-storage facility is accessible from Milliken Avenue with emergency access
available at the southeast corner of the site, which will be accessible from Church Street. The
facility will offer a variety of storage options including recreational vehicle parking and storage
units ranging in size from 5 feet x 5 feet to 14 feet x 28 feet. The facility has been designed in
a Mediterranean theme, which is compatible with the residential character of the area as well
as the design standards used throughout Terra Vista.
The application includes a master plan for the entire parcel on the northeast corner of Milliken
Avenue and Church Street. The master plan anticipates a senior assisted living center and a
day care center. Access to the assisted living facility will share a drive approach with the self-
storage facility on Milliken. Both the assisted living facility and the day care center will have
primary access from Church Street. The site plans, building design, and architecture are
preliminary only and are intended for approval in a master plan format. Any future use of
Parcels 2 and 3 of Tentative Parcel Map 15349 will be subject to design/development review.
B. Desiqn Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Macias, Stewart, Coleman) on July 6, 2000. The overall architectural concept was approved
by the Committee with no further modifications or conditions. The monument signage shall be
designed to be compatible with the building architecture.
Staff had identified for the Design Review Committee a concern with the orientation of the
three land uses as presented on the master plan. Staff had suggested that the residential use
and the day care center would be better served by being directly accessible to the open space
and park site to the north. The Committee believed that adequate trail access would be
available to these users, and that in the present configuration, the orientation of the long side
elevations of the self-storage facility are better screened. It was decided other minor technical
issues related to fire access requirements would be addressed directly with staff. No further
conditions are necessary.

C. Technical Review Committee: on July 5, 2000, the Technical Review Committee reviewed the
project. All standard and special conditions have been included in the attached Resolution of
Approval. The Fire Department requested a second means of access onto the site due to the
depth of the site. The applicant has chosen to provide secondary access through the
southeast corner of the site, and the site plan has been modified to reflect this change.
In addition, the Engineering Division identified that the trail type "D" required by the Community
Plan along the north property line, should be located entirely on this pamel (see Exhibit "G").
The property immediately north of the self-storage site is owned by the City and at one time
was the intended site of the YMCA. At this time, there are no immediate plans for the pamel,
which lies immediately south and adjacent to Milliken Park. Trail type "D" is a 15-foot
minimum greenbelt that would connect the greenway and park to the trail coming north along
Milliken Avenue. The final alignment of the trail will be determined to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer and the City Planner prior to the issuance of any permits or final approval of the
pamel map. A trail type "E" is required along Milliken Avenue, which consists of a 6-foot
sidewalk and 6 feet of additional landscaping behind the sidewalk (applicant is proposing
more).
D. Environmental Assessment: The Initial Study has been prepared. The attached Resolution of
Approval contains mitigation for air quality impacts during project construction.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a
300-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval through adoption of the attached resolutions.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:30 p.m. Debra Meier July 6, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-61 - LEWIS
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY/LDC PLA'FI'E, LL~ - The proposed development of a Self-Storage
facility totaling 96,132 square feet of building area and parking for 60 recreational vehicles on
4.86 acres of land (Parcel I of Tentative Parcel Map 15349); and a Master Plan for Parcels 2 and
3 located at the northeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Church Street in the Recreational
Commemial (RC) District of the Terra Vista Community Plan - APN: 227-151-26 and 227-151-80.
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 15349- LEWIS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY/LDC PLA I I ~-, LLC - The
proposed subdivision of 8.99 acres into three parcels, located at the northeast comer of Milliken
Avenue and Chumh Street in the Recreational-Commercial~RC)-District-of-the-~Term~/ista
~nrnm~ni~ Plan - APN' ?:)7-1.~1-?R ~nH ?:)7-1RI-RI3
Desiqn Parameters: The self storage facility will utilize approximately 4.7 acres of the 9 acre site
(Tentative Parcel Map 15349); located in the southwest quadrant of the of the Term Vista
Community Plan. Land Uses surrounding the site include the Milliken Avenue Park and a vacant
parcel, which had previously been intended for the YMCA to the north; the San Antonio Medical
Center is located south of Church Street; the parcel immediately to the east is vacant and
designated Medium-High Residential in the Terra Vista Community Plan; and on the west side of
Milliken Avenue is an existing apartment development.
The Proposed Terra Vista Self-Storage project is designed to accommodate 60 recreational
vehicles and a wide-range of storage demands from 5 feet by 5 feet up to 10 feet by 10 feet, as well
as on-site mangers leasing office and apartment. The architectural style is Mediterranean in style
similar to other commercial development projects within the Terra Vista Community.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Master Plan
The proposed master plan anticipates an assisted living center for seniors, along with a day care
center, in addition to the self-storage project. Staff has discussed with the applicant the concept of
orienting either one or both the senior living center and the day care center toward the park and
open space elements both for aesthetic as well as access to these facilities to complement these
uses. The applicant has indicated a desire for the self-storage operation to be accessible from
Milliken Avenue as a high pdodty in the project design. The Committee should consider the
orientation of the three uses in relationship to the immediately adjacent uses to discuss apprcpdate
use and site orientation.
Self-Storaqe
No further Site Plan, landscape, or architectural details ara identified for specific concern or
discussion; tt~e applicant has responded to all concems previously identified by staff in terms of
architecture, landscaping and Site Plan details.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the items identified for
discussion, along with any other issues identified by the Committee; and, upon resolution of these
issues, that the proposed project be forwarded for Planning Commission review and action.
July 6, 2000
CUP 99-61
Desiqn Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Macias, Stewart and Coleman
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
Site Plan/Buildinq Desiqn
The committee agreed that the specific site and architectural details of the self-storage
facility were very well done, and needed no further modification.
Master Plan Issue
Upon discussing the master plan layout with the applicant, the Committee concurred
with the applicants master plan. Locating the residential uses on Chumh Street provides
better access to these users, rather than from Milliken. Access to the park and open
space areas can be conveniently accessed via trails.
Committee Recommendation:
The remaining technical details can to be worked out with staff and the project will be
scheduled for the next available Planning Commission meeting.

measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project, or agreed to,
by the applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
( ) I find that proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
( ) I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measured based
upon the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially
Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
() I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects 1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier
EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed
project~ , ., ,

3. GEOLOGlCPROBLI~IS. Would the proposal result in
or expose people to potential impacts involving:
a) Fault rupture? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
b) Seismic ground shaking? ( ( ) (v') ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ( ) (,/) ( )
d) Seiche hazards? ( ( ) ( ) (,/)

g) Subsidence of the land? ( ) ( ) (,/)
h) Expansive soils? ( ) ( ) (,/.)
i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) (,,,)
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies
Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill
Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 2 miles north and
west of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 5 miles northerly.
These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes, respectively.
Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 14 miles
northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is
15 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground
shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an
extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. The site is otherwise
located on stable soils. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that
geologic impacts are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so landslides or mudflows are not likely to occur.
f) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal to allow proper drainage and
development of the building pads.

g-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively
drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They are
relatively stable but are subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively
shallow. A soils report will be required by the Building and Safety Division, prior to
issuance of building permits. The impact is not considered significant.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) () (/) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? '
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) (,/)
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) (,/)
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) (/)
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) (,/)
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) ( ) (/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies?
Comments:
a) The project is expected to result in changes in absorption rates and drainage
pattern. A drainage study/plan showing how stormwater runoff will be directed to
the Spruce Avenue storm drain shall be approved by the City Engineer, prior to
issuance of a grading permit.
b) The site is not located within the lO0-year flood plain.

5. AIR OUALITY. Would the proposah
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (Z') ( ) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (v') ( ) ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) (V')
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (v')
Comments:
a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-
Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the Terra Vista Community
Plan EIR. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted
from grading the site. Nonetheless, dust emissions could be sufficient to warrant
the use of water or other dust palliatives at this site.
Sources of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from
construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of
construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. NOx and
PM~0 levels may be exceeded during this phase; however with implementation of
the following mitigation measures, impacts will be reduced to less-than-significant
levels.
1) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used
on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The
construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans
include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered
equipment in-lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible.
3) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in
use.
c-d) The proposed project will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes
or objectionable odors.

Comments:
a-f) The proposed self-storage facility will not generate a substantial number of vehicle
trips. The proposed land use is consistent with the Terra Vista Community Plan.
The project proponent will be required to construct necessary street improvements
and pay traffic impact fees as established by the City Council to off-set the
incremental increase in traffic as a result of the project.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) (,/)
potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) (V') ( )
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one, which occurs,
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) (/')
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ((,/')
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The site is not within an identified habitat area for any endangered species. Native
vegetation was cleared for the site in 1984 and annual weed and erosion control
measures have been undertaken annually since that time. Although previously in
vineyard cultivation, the site was graded to "super pad" condition in 1984 when
much of Terra Vista was rough graded. There are no existing trees or structures
on-site.

CUP 99-61 - Lewis Development Company Page !.~
b) The project site is 4.7 acres and grading will be limited to establishing proper
drainage on the site and developing building pads. Development of the self-storage
facility will not significantly impact the existing residents of the multi-family
development located west of Milliken Avenue through implementation of erosion
control and dust suppression measures.
c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable. The site is within the Terra Vista Community Plan, which permits this
type of self-storage development with the Recreational Commercial designation.
The initial study did not identify any impacts that could not be mitigated through the
City's standard conditions of approval.
d) The proposed development on 4.7-acres would not cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located in a
commercial land use designation along Milliken Avenue.

SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-18
UNION BANK - The development of a 6,000 square foot bank on 1.2 acre of
land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific
Plan, located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, east of Milliken Avenue.
APN: 229-011-25, 31, and 32.
BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission continued consideration of this project from the
July 26, 2000, meeting at the request of the applicant. This was to provide the applicant time to
provide revised plans for Commission review.
PROJECT REVISIONS: The project has been revised to eliminate the east-west drive aisle
south of the site connecting the two north-south entry drives. Essentially, the proposed change
is a return to the originally approved Master Plan for this center. This provides better parking
layout for Union Bank (and the Farmer Boys project to the west currently in Design Review) and
avoids a potential vehicle stacking problem within the north-south entry drive east of Union Bank
(similar to the Foothill Marketplace problem). A row of parking spaces along the west elevation
has also been removed. The project has also been revised to group trees along the Foothill
Boulevard frontage so that sight lines to the Union Bank signs on the north and west elevations
are more visible from Foothill Boulevard. The total number of required trees will still be
provided; hence, staff supports the tree cluster concept. All of these revisions occurred after

C. Site Characteristics: The site is located at the main entrance to the Catellus Master Plan area,
which was approved by the Planning Commission in April of 1999; however, the approved
Master Plan was left "blank" in this area due to uncertainty of ultimate land use. It is northeast
of the Lowe's Home Improvement store now under construction. The site slopes from north to
south at approximately 3 percent.
D. Parkinq Calculations:

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The site will be graded so that it sets approximately 3 to 4 feet below the level of
Foothill Boulevard. The building design incorporates the basic amhitectural features that were
established in the Lowe's building. The bank is proposed to have a drive-thru lane, which will
wrap around the east and north sides of the building, with ingress from the south. The building
will be visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard. The drive-thru lane is proposed to be
screened by a berm along the street frontage, a porte-cochere on the east side of the building
and a large member trellis on the north side.
The project represents a modification to the Catellus Master Plan, which did not define
building pads or circulation in this area. An on-site traffic study was prepared which indicates
that the proposed location of the east-west driveway spine will not lead to circulation conflicts
with main access from Foothill Boulevard. The main access point, which aligns with future
Mayten Street to the north, will be the only signalized access from Foothill Boulevard. The
Master Plan submitted with the application is a conceptual illustration only and is not part of
this approval.
B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Mannerino, Tostoy, Coleman)
reviewed the project on June 20, 2000, and recommend approval with conditions. Refer to the
attached Design Review Action Agenda for further details.
C. Technical Review Committee: The Grading and Technical Review Committees have reviewed
the project and recommend approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached
Resolution of Approval.
D. Environmental Assessment: The Environmental Initial Study, Parts I and II, were prepared.
Staff has determined that the project will not result in substantial impact to the environment. If
the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Negative Declaration would be in order.

Comments:
a-d) The project site is part of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park and was
previously analyzed under the Initial Study prepared for Tentative Tract Map 15295,
and included a detailed look at the subdivision of the 140-acre area into 13 individual
pamels. The area is designated Industrial Park and General Industrial and is zoned
Subarea 7 and Subarea 8, respectively, and is located on Milliken Avenue between
Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route. The proposed bank would be consistent with
existing and permitted land uses in Subarea 7.

Comments:
a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. Operation of the bank will include 11 full-time employees.
The addition of these employees will not create a demand for additional housing as
they will likely reside within the City or surrounding communities.
c) Approximately 1.14 acres are proposed for development. The bank will be
constructed in an area designated Industrial Park (Subarea 7). There are no
residential structures within the vicinity.

Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it
in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The
Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 2 miles northwest of the site,
and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 6 miles northwest. These faults
are both capable of producing a M,~ 6.0 - 7.0 earthquake, respectively. Also, the
San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is 9 miles
northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is
12.5 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground
shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an
extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. Soils type on-site and in
the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are relatively stable but subject to
liquefaction when the water table is relatively shallow. Adhering to the Uniform
Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal. Grading will even out the site
and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.
f-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga Soboba association. These soils are
excessively drained, readily level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans.
Runoff is very slow, and hazard of erosion is slight. Included with this soil in
mapping are areas of Tujunga gravely loamy sand in scattered tracts 10 to 20 acres
in size. Also included are small areas of Delhi fine sand. The project site is east and
outside of the Delhi Sands Special Study Area. Therefore, the site does not contain
significant amounts of Delhi sand or appropriate habitat for the Delhi Sand Flower-
Loving Fly.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ( ) (,~) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ( ) ( (v')
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) ( (./)
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of sudace water in any ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) ( )
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) ( ) (./)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (./)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies?
Comments:
a) The absorption rate will be altered because of the paving and hardscape proposed.
All runoff will be conveyed to approved drainage facilities which have been designed
to handle the flows. No other improvements beyond the master plan of drainage are
necessary to accommodate the project. The impact is not considered significant.
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain as indicated on Figure III-G/2
"Flood Hazards" in the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan EIR.
c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant will provide a
drainage study showing how storm water runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance
of a grading permit.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as
the site is not used for groundwater discharge.

a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to (,/) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (¢)
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) (,/)
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ('/)
Comments:
a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-
Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is
the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the site. However, the site
is too small (1.14 acres) to generate significant PM10 contamination that would
exceed the SCAQMD thresholds. Nonetheless, dust emissions could be sufficient to
warrant the use of water or other dust palliatives at this site.
c-d) The proposed project is to construct a 6,000 square foot bank for public use on 1.14
acres of vacant land. Adequate parking and landscaping will be provided in
accordance with the City Development Code. The bank will not generate emissions that
could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

Comments:
a) The project site is part of the 140-acre Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park. An
Initial Study was prepared for Tentative Tract Map 15295 and included a review of
the subdivision of 140 acres of land into 13 parcels in the Industrial Park (Subarea 7)
and General Industrial (Subarea 8). Transtech Engineers, Inc. prepared a
Congestion Management Program/Traffic Impact Analysis (CMP/TIA) study, as part
of the review, to determine whether the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park would
increase vehicle trips or traffic congestion in excess of projections for the adopted
land use. The CMP/TIA concluded that the project would result in excessive future
traffic congestion. The report recommended certain roadway improvements to
accommodate the project generated traffic. Recommendations were incorporated
into the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) adopted for the master plan.
Implementation of the MMP will maintain traffic impacts to less than significant.
The master plan for the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park showed a main
east-west drive aisle leading from the Lowe's site to parcels to the east. This east-
west drive aisle/spine was approved much further south than is specified for the
subject project. This was intended to provide sufficient vehicle stacking distance on
the main north-south drive aisle (east of Union Bank) between the point at which the
main east-west drive aisle intersects the north-south drive aisle and Foothill
Boulevard. An on-site traffic analysis was prepared for the project (RKJK and
Associates, May 9, 2000) to address this issue. The findings of the report indicate
that the distance between Foothill Boulevard and the main east-west drive aisle
intersection is sufficient to provide adequate vehicle stacking on the north-south drive
aisle located east of Union Bank. The report recommended that the drive-thru entry
point for Union Bank be relocated westerly to avoid an awkwardly tight "U" turn
movement for those entering the site off Foothill Boulevard via the north-south drive
aisle. The project has been redesigned in light of this recommendation to the
satisfaction of RKJK and Associates. Through redesign of the project in
conformance with the traffic report, on-site traffic impacts are not considered
significant.
b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel with an entry to the site on both Foothill Boulevard
and Mayten Street. There is an entry setback designed so that visitors to the site will
not be backed up on either streets. The proposed project includes on-site parking
and drive through ATM.
d) Located approximately 6 miles northeast of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) (v')
habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish,
insects, animals, and birds)?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (,~)

c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( )
eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) (,'~)
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) (v~)
Comments:
a) The site is an abandoned vineyard and is currently vacant. No natural habitat exists
on-site, and the property is not within the Ontario Recovery Unit as indicated in
Figure 6 of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the Delhi Sands
Flower-loving Fly (DSF) habitat. On-site vegetation is sparse and consists of non-
native species. It is unlikely that any DSF will move onto the site due to the lack of
natural habitat.
b-c) The site is an abandoned grape vineyard with no native vegetation on-site.
d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site.
e) intermittent industrial development in the area has eliminated any wildlife corridors
that may have occurred in the past.

Comments:
a/c/d) During a site visit, no evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes,
or discolored soils were observed. There was no indication of underground
storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. Based on the fact that the site
is an abandoned vineyard, pesticides were probably used in the past. However,
the project site is being developed as a commercial use where people will not
likely be exposed to soil. Therefore. this is no impact.

10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) (-/) ( )
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('/)
Comments:
a-b) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the
development would add people and traffic to the area. Noise will be consistent with
existing levels, which includes traffic on Foothill Boulevard and surrounding
commercial use. There are no sensitive receptors in the area and impacts to noise
were not considered significant.

11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v~)
b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('/)
c) Schools? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('~)
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? ( ) ( ) ( )
e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) ( ) ("~)
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The site is located on the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Milliken Avenue, and is served by a fire station located on the southwest corner of
Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue, approximately 1.5 miles south of the project
site. Standard Conditions of Approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will
be placed on the project. The addition of a 6,000 square foot bank is not considered
significant.
Police protection - Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the
commercial bank will not change current facility operating hours and will not have a

substantial increase in the area to be patrolled, as the project site is relatively small,
slightly larger than one acre.
Schools - The proposed bank building will not generate a substantial number of new
job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area. Therefore,
construction activities will not adversely impact local schools.
Parks - Proposed construction activities will not generate a substantial number of
new job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area. Operation of the
bank will require 11 full-time employees who will likely be hired from within the City or
surrounding communities. Therefore, construction of a commercial bank will not
adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities.
Public facilities - The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities and will be
consistent will the City of Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan.

12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the
proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies
or substantial alterations to the following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? ( ) ( ) ( (,,,)
b) Communication systems? ( ) ( (~,)
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution ( ) ( )
facilities?
d) Sewer or septic tanks? ( ) ( )
e) Storm water drainage? ( ) ( ) (,,,)
f) Solid waste disposal? ( ( ) ( ) (~,)
g) Local or regional water supplies? ( ( ) ( ) (,,,)
Comments:
a-g) The proiect will use existing gas, electrical, and communication systems. Solid
waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler. Currently
municipal so[id waste from the City is taken to San Bernardino, Riverside, or Orange
County landfills for disposal; depending on the hauler. The project will increase
demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape
proposed on the currently vacant site. Storm drain improvements will be necessary
to accommodate the project. This does not result in substantial alterations to the
master plan of storm drainage. The impact is not considered significant since it can
be mitigated by providing proper storm water drainage per the City Engineer.

design and exterior elements of the bank will be consistent with design standards set
forth in the Master Plan.
c) The project will create new light and glare because the site is currently vacant. The
design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans, which require
review for consistency with City standards. The impact is not considered significant.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/)
potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) (,,,) ( )
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 00-18- Union Bank Page 14
Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PotentiallyUnless Tttan
C) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) ( ) (v~)
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The project site is a former vineyard. The vines have been removed and the site has
been disced for weed abatement and graded for the placement of a disused
driveway. There is no habitat suitable for rare or endangered species and there are
no locally protected species on-site. The site has no wetland and is cut off by
development to the north, east, and west, so it cannot serve as a wildlife corridor.
b) The site is small, slightly larger than 1-acre, and would not generate significant
amounts of criteria air pollutants during site grading. No short-term impacts will
result from the proposed project.
c) The Initial Study for the Catellus Master Plan did not identify any impacts that could
not be mitigated through the City's standard conditions of approval or mitigation
measures identified in the Catellus Master Plan.
d) Development of a 6,000 square foot bank would not cause substantial adverse
effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The initial study did not identify any
impacts that would have a potentially significant affect to the environment.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative
Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on

FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
[] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant ,
effect on the environment.
[] The In,al Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public reviewwould avoid the effects or mitigate
the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised may have a
significant effect on the environment.
if adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-18- UNION BANK- The
development ora 6,000 square foot bank on 1.2 acres of land in Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan, located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, east of M ken
Avenue. APN: 229-011-25, 31, and 32.
Design Parameters: The site is located at the main entrance to the Catellus Master Plan area,
which was approved by the Planning Commission in April of 1999; however, the approved Master
Plan was left "blank" in this area due to uncertainty of ultimate land use. It is northeast of the
Lowe's Home Improvement store now under construction. The site slopes from north to south at
approximately 3 percent. The site will be graded so that it sets approximately 3 to 4 feet below the
level of Foothill Boulevard. The building design incorporates the basic architectural features that
were established by the Lowe's building. The bank is proposed to have a drive-thru lane, which will
wrap around the east and north sides of the building, with ingress from the south, The building and
drive-thru lane will be visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard.
Master Plan: The project represents a modification to the Catellus Master Plan, which did not define
building pads or circulation in this area. An on-site traffic study was prepared which indicates that
the proposed location of the east-west driveway spine will not lead to circulation conflicts with main
access from Foothill Boulevard. The main access point, which aligns with future Mayten Street to
the north, will be the only signalized access from FoothillBoulevard. Master Plan (Sheet A0) is a
conceptual illustration only and is not part of this application; therefore, no comments will
be made,
Staff Comments:The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project.
1. Provide a porte-cochere matching that on the east elevation, or a major trellis, over the drive
thru lane on the north side of the building to minimizethe presence of the lane relative to
Foothill Boulevard. This will also add articulation and visual interest to the north elevation,
most visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard. Provide decorative wainscoting on this
elevation as well.
2. Eliminate or smooth out the awkward curve in the main east-west driveway spine west of the
site to avoid potential head-on collisions.
3. Mayten Street Entrance: Median island should be minimum width of 10 feet. Provide
minimum 20 feet of enhanced paving at entrance throat, outside public right-of-way, as
transition from Foothill Boulevard.
Secondary Issues: Once ali of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. The backsides of the parapet walls should be finished with cornice treatment to convey a
sense of quality. Decorative parapets should have returns to provide a sense of depth and
avoid a movie-set appearance.
2. Provide Iow decorative walls and landscaped berms on the east and north sides of the drive-
thru lane to screen cars from public view. Examples include the Texaco station at Foothill
Boulevard and Elm Street, and the Carl's Jr. at Foothill Boulevard and Masi Drive.

3. Provide planter area against the building between columns on west elevation, north of the
main entry.
4. Provide decorative driveway paving at the driveway entrance to Union Bank parking area.
5. Extend landscape finger planters to the full length of parking stalls (i.e. 18 feet).
6. Extend enhanced paving to include both handicap parking stalls at main entry.
7. Provide additional trees to shade northerly row of parking spaces.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. The Planning Commission Drive-thru Design Policy requires drive-thru businesses to be
located at least 300 feet away from any intersection (such as Foothill Boulevard and Mayten
Street) and from another drive-thru facility on the same side of the street. In this case, the
Union Bank and Farmer Boy's restaurant will be 300 feet apart. Union Bank is located at the
intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Mayten Street. The policy can be waived when a
project is being developed within a shopping center or master plan. Other examples of ddve-
thrus approved at intersections include the Mobil car wash, Jack-in-the-Box and Carl's Jr.,
which are all located at Foothill Boulevard and Masi Drive, about one half block to the east.
2. All roof and ground mounted equipment and utilities shall be fully screened. Surround trash
enclosure and Edison box with dense shrub planting.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and return for further
review.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: John Mannerino, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Brent Le Count
The Committee recommended approval subject to staff's comments with the following revisions.
The applicant agreed to all of the items and the following:
1. The Committee is open to provision of a trellis along the north side of the building over the
drive-thru lane instead of a porte-cochere. The trellis members should be substantial with
heaVY and decorative footings.
2. The median is the driveway entrance from Foothill Boulevard, at Mayten Street and may
require modification or elimination subject to review and approval of the Engineering
Division.

Re: Development Review 00-'18 - Union Bank
Dear Brent:
This is a request that the Public Hearing for the above-referenced project (Scheduled for July
26t~) be postponed to the following hearing on August 9th for the following reasons:
The progress of the Lowe's project, more specifically their parking area, has forcedus to create
an alternate parking configuration that salvages more of the recently completed work. Per your
request, we are having the traffic engineer evaluate the new plan and will submit their findings
with our final package. In addition, there are a number of modifications to the building and site
(resulting from the DRC and technical review) that we felt should be reflected in the "official"
approved documents. These include the extended trellis, berm and landscaping adjustments, a
tower element on the north elevation, and removal of the raised median. Other comments from
the staff report have been incorporated into the drawings as well.
Thank you for your attempt at continuing to expedite our project through approvals. Our hope is
this postponement will ultimately save time and confusion through plancheck.
If you have any comments or questions regarding this request, please contact me as soon as
possible.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:40 p.m. Brent Le Count July 18, 2000
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-29 - GREG WATTSON - The development of a 6,600 square foot
multi-tenant retail building within an 82 acre idtegrated shopping center known as the Foothill
Marketplace Shopping Center in the Regional Related Commercial Distdct of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan (Subarea 4), located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwand
Avenue - APN: 229-011-32.
Desiqn Parameters: The site is the last pad within the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center and is
along the Foothill Boulevard frontage. The pad has been graded and parking and landscape
improvements, including parkway improvements on Foothill Boulevard frontage are in-place. The
site is located between the Taco Bell building to the west and the Hollywood Video building on the
east. The proposed architecture, colors, and materials are consistent with the existing buildings
within the shopping center. The building is of relatively simple design with heavy reliance on trellises
and color variation to provide relief and visual interest.
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. The north elevation, facing Foothill Boulevard, has the least amount of wall articulation and
visual interest. Provide a smaller tower element or other visually prominent feature on the
north elevation to address the Foothill Boulevard Frontage. The site falls within the Activity
Center so a 25-foot minimum setback from Foothill Boulevard is permitted. This provides
more than enough room for substantial enhancement of the north elevation.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Retaining wall around patio should be decorative wall to match those walls north of Golden
Spoon pad.
2. The dimensions of the wall pop outs on the south and north elevations should be increased
to provide a greater sense of depth.
3. Eliminate the entry tower pediment on the east elevation to be consistent with the center.
4. Colors, materials, and light fixtures shall match the theme established in the Foothill
Marketplace shopping center.
5. Eliminate parking space no. 7 and replace with landscaping to provide enhanced site entry.
6. Provide intensified landscaping around the trash enclosure and Edison box.
7. Roof/parapet projections should be finished all the way around to avoid looking clipped on
the rear and provide a more finished look.
8. Provide vine pockets at base of trellis columns so that vines will climb trellises.
9. Provide metal wall-mounted trellises on the north and west elevations with vines trained to
climb.

10. If the trellis-covered area at the northeast corner of the building is to be used for outdoor
eating, Iow walls or other means of wind reduction should be used given seasonal high
winds out of the northeast.
11. East facing doors are subject to high winds in the area. Suggest double door foyers if they
can be accommodated.
~: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Roof equipment shall be fully screened from view. It appears that the NC units are planned
to be higher than the parapets and may be visible from Foothill Boulevard. Either specify
lower units or raise parapet height.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments.
,Desiqn Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Steward, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner Brent Le Count
The applicant's architect provided revised plans to address staff comments. The Committee
recommended approval of the revised plans subject to staff's suggestions and the following
additional comments. The applicant agreed to all requirements.
1. Provide an archway for the wall pop-out on the north elevation to match the archway on the
east elevation. Also provide a quatrefoil on the north wall pop-out.
2. It is strongly suggested that future tenant improvements include double door foyers on east
facing entrances to mitigate strong seasonal winds out of the northeast.

ANALYSIS:
A. Backqround: On February 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved Development Review 99-57
for remodel and upgrade of the facades of Building "A," Building "B," and the Rite Aid storefront, within
the Alta Loma Square Shopping Center (Exhibit "B"). The Vons Store was not a part of the
Development Review application.
B. General: The project proposes to remodel the storefront facade for the Vons store to be consistent with
the previously approved design scheme for the center (Exhibit "E"). In addition, Vons is proposing to
expand the front entry out 8-feet 6-inches, for a total of 500 square feet and expand the rear of the
building out 25-feet, for a total of 3,850 square feet (total building expansion of 4,350 square feet).
The storefront fat:ade will be extended to create a colonnade for a covered pedestrian walkway. The
two store entrances will incorporate a tower element, with recessed tile niches. The fa(;ade will feature
recessed tile niches above each column, to compliment the tower element. The columns will consist of
pre-cast concrete with decorative concrete caps and slate tile bases. To compliment the slate tile base
columns, the storefront will feature slate tile wainscoting treatment and the cart storage area walls will
feature the slate tile exterior. The existing Spanish tile roof will remain.
Recently the Washington Mutual building underwent a facade upgrade. The upgrade is architecturally
compatible with the proposed design upgrade of the shopping center and the Vons store. In addition,
the proposed design concept for the remodel will be compatible with the Blockbuster building, which
was constructed in 1998.
C. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the
project on July 18, 2000, and recommended approval with conditions, which have been incorporated
into the attached Resolution of Approval. Design Review Committee Action comments have been
attached for your convenience (Exhibit "G").
D. Technical Review and Gradinq Committees: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project
and recommended approval subject to the conditions contained in the attached Resolution.
E. Noise Study: Arup Acoustics prepared a noise study to examine the potential noise impacts that could
result from the proposed expansion including mechanical equipment and loading dock activities. The
study concluded the following findings:
1. Buitdinq Services Mechanical Equipment
Future roof-mounted equipment will be shielded from the residential properties to the east by a
parapet wall construction at the roof edges. The estimated noise levels due to the building
services mechanical equipment at the nearby receptors is expected to increase the existing
ambient noise levels by up to 3dBA (Exhibit "F"). However, it is expected that the mechanical
equipment will operate at a lower capacity during nighttime hours due to lower demand, which will
result in lower mechanical noise levels. Therefore, significant noise impact would not be expected
as a result of the proposed project.
2. Loadinq Dock Activities
Noise sources associated with the typical operation of the loading docks include loading and
unloading of delivery trucks (large and small), refrigeration equipment (truck-mounted), engine
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 00-27 - MCA ARCHITECTS, INC.

idling, and air brakes. Noise associated with loading dock activities; however, would be short-
term and would occur only when delivery trucks are at the dock areas.
a. A new loading dock will be located on the northeast corner of the building and will be used
primarily by delivery trucks. The construction of a wall along the east side of the loading
area, will block the view of the trucks parked in the loading area from the adjacent
homeowners. In addition, the wall will mitigate the noise generated by the trucks'
refrigeration units, the airbrakes, and engines.
b. A second new outdoor loading area for small trucks will be located on the southeast corner
of the building. The location of the loading area will be behind the trash enclosure, which
will provide additional noise reduction to the residences.
The estimated noise levels generated at the loading dock area will be similar to that of the existing
daytime ambient noise levels and the project noise criteria, at all residential receptors, thus
significant noise impacts is not anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
F. Environmental Assessment: The application is exempt per Section 15302(b) of the California
Environmental Quality Act because it is less than 10,000 square feet.
FACTS FOR FINDING: Before approving the application, the Planning Commission shall make certain
findings that the following circumstances do apply:
A. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
B. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code.
D. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Development Review 00-27 through adoption of the
attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.

Desig_~_ Parameters: On February 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved Development
Review 99-57 for remodel and upgrade of the fac~,ades of Building "A," Building "B," and the Rite Aid
storefront, within the Alta Loma Square Shopping Center (Exhibit "B"). The Vons Store was not a
part of the Development Review Application. Vons has now submitted a Development Review
Application requesting to remodel and upgrade the storefront fac,,ade to be consistent with the
previously approved design scheme for centers upgrade and remodel (Exhibit "C"). In addition,
Vons is proposing to expand the front entry out 8-feet 6-inches, for total of 500 square feet and
expand the rear of the building out 25-feet, for a total of 3,850 square feet. The storefront fac,,ade
will be extended to create a colonnade fora covered pedestrian walkway. The two store entrances
will incorporate a tower element, with recessed tile niches. The far,,ade will feature recessed tile
niches above each column, to compliment the tower element. The columns will consist of pre-cast
concrete with decorative concrete caps and bases.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Major Issues: The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project:
Staff has no major issues with this project; the applicant has worked closely with staff in resolving
earlier issues.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. The column bases should consist of slate tile, consistent with the column design approved
for the center, in addition, clarify what type of material will be used for the wainscoting
treatment along the storefront. Ceramic tile or slate tile?
2. The exterior finish of the trash enclosure and retaining wall, along the rear of the store,
should consist of stucco treatment and color to match the building.
3. Clarify what will be visible through windows in photo room and offices within main tower. A
concern is to hide views of the backside of display racks, cabinets, etc. Photos of other
Vons stores may help explain.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Ail signs proposed for the building shall be designed in conformance with the City's Sign
Ordinance and the Uniform Sign Program for the shopping center and shall require review
and approval by the City Planner prior to installation

THE CITY OF
I~ANCl]O CUCAM ONGA
DATE: August 9, 2000
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Larry Henderson, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 00-02A - DAY CREEK BOULEVARD
FREEWAY INTERCHANGF
Discussion: Recently an application was filed on behalf of Lewis Retail Center for a
General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Low-Medium
Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) to Neighborhood Commercial for a 1.2-acre parcel
located between Day Creek Boulevard, Highland Avenue, and Route 30. The
application is being made in antic pation of developing the site for an automobile fueling
and washing facility.
A small piece of land adjacent to the site is still owned by Cai Trans. Therefore, the
land use applications do not include the Cai Trans portion. Lewis is in purchase
negotiations with Cai Trans, hopefully to add this remnant portion to its site. Staff
believes that the Cai Trans portion should be included in the land use determination
with the Lewis owned parcel.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission authorize staff to
file City initiated General Plan Amendment and Victoria Community Plan Amendment
applications for the remaining land between Day Creek Boulevard, Highland Avenue,
and the ultimate freeway right-of-way.
