General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Community Commercial North - Community Commercial South - Industrial Park East - Community Commercial West o Community Commercial C. Site Characteristics: 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. All streets surrounding Town Center have been improved with curb, gutter, and I TEI.I ~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-40 - TARGET CORPORATION August 9, 2000 Page 2 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. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-40 -TARGET CORPORATION August9,2000 Page 3 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.

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. DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-40 - TARGET CORP, June 20, 2000 Page 2 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. Attachments: DesiRn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Debra Meier The Committee recommended approval subject to the following changes being worked out with staff, prior to Planning Commission: · DRC COMMENTS CUP 99-40 - TARGET CORP. · June 20,2000 Page 3 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.

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. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Conditional Use Permit 99-40 - Target Stores Page 2 All streets surrounding Town Center have been improved with curb, gutter and pavement. Complete street improvements, including sidewalks, driveways, street lights, etc., will be completed along with the various phases of the amended Master Plan. 8, Lead Agency Name and Address: City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 9.

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.

( ) ( ) ( ) (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 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Conditional Use Permit 99-40 - Target Stores Page 5 Im~ct Sig~lJ§caRt Potent~llYlm~acl Irn~ct T~ Impact Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unal~s 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. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga 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.

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.

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 7 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Conditional Use Permit 99-40 - Target Stores Page 10 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: s~o,,~.t .~,~ sL~fi~,.~ No II, o .1 I 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.

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? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Conditional Use Permit 99-40 -Target Stores Page 13 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.

General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Community Commercial North - Office Park South - Community Commercial East - Community Commercial West ~ Community Commercial C. Site Characteristics: The proposed Polar Ice facility is located in the northwesterly portion of Terra Vista Town Center, north of Target, and west of Edwards Theater. This is one of the few remaining undeveloped portions of the overall Town Center Master Plan. The existing Target and Edwards Theater, along with much of Town Center were constructed approximately ten years ago. A}I perimeter streets were completed with curb, gutter, and pavement at that time. With this application, any missing public improvements, such as sidewalks and streetlights, will be completed. ITEM B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT INC. August 9, 2000 Page 2 D. ~Calculations: Number of Type Square Parking Spaces 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.

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. Attachments 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.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) 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.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) 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.

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.

( ( ) ( ) (,/') 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 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-21 - POLAR ICE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

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.

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.

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.

ITEMS C & D PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-61 & TT 15349 - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY~LDC PLATTE, LLC August 9, 2000 Page 2 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. D. Parking: Number of Number of Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Footaqe Ratio Required Provided Residence N/A 2/unit 2 2 Self-storage (within garage) Office N/A N/A N/A 3 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. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 99-61 &TT15349 - LEWIS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY~LDC PLATTE, LLC August9,2000 Page 3 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.

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. ~ ENVIRONMENTAL " "' .......

( ) ( ) (,/.) 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. " Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 99-61 - Lewis Development Company Page 5 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. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Po~on~,,y Unlsss Tllan 4. WATER.

(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.

As the site is relatively small (less than 5 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. In the event that a historic or cultural resource is found, the contractor will be required to contact the owner of the site and the San Bernardino County Museum for the proper recovery and removal of the artifact.

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. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga 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.

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 Design Review Committee. The attached exhibits reflect the proposed plan changes. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Initial Study was prepared. Staff 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.

Surroundinq Land Use and Zoning: North - Vacant land and the Rancho San Antonio Medical Building; FinanciaI, Restaurants, Residential, Community Commercial, Hospital and Related Facilities, and Office uses, Terra Vista Community Plan South- Lowe's Home lmprovement Store (under construction); IndustriaI Park (Subarea T), Industrial Area Specific Plan East Vacant land and the Masi Plaza and the Quakes Stadium; Industrial Park (Subarea 7), Industrial Area Specific Plan West Vacant land planned for Farmer Boys Restaurant and Lowe's Home Improvement Store parking area; Industrial Park (Subarea 7), Industrial Area Specific Plan B. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Industrial Park North - Commercial South - General Industrial East Industrial Park West Industrial Park PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 00-18 - UNION BANK July 26, 2000 Page 2 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: Number of Number of Type of Square Parkinq Spaces Space Use Footaqe Ratio Required Provided Bank 6,000 1/250 24 30 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-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. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 3.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,") i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) 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. : Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-18 - Union Bank Page Issues and Supporting Information Sources: .~..,~,y unless Than 4.

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.

( ) ('/) 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.

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.

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 · Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 00-18- Union Bank Page 11 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.

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.

("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.

Auqust 9, 2000 Date of Determination Adopted By · DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 5:30 p.m. Brent Le Count June 20, 2000 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. DRC COMMENTS DR 00-18 - UNION BANK June 20, 2000 Page 2 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.

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. DRC COMMENTS 00-29 - GREG WATSON July 18, 2000 Page 2 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. RESOLUTION NO.

ITEN G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 00-27 - MCA ARCHITECTS, INC. August 9, 2000 Page 2 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. August 9, 2000 Page 3 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.

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.
