PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION A. Site Characteristics: The 158 lots are within the existing Summerfield project. The project is primarily in the last phase of development. For the entire subdivision, there are approximately 4.8 dwelling units per acre. Southern California Edison formerly owned the subject site for the future construction of a utility corridor located on the east side of Day Creek Boulevard from Highland Avenue to Base Line Road. The corridor is 330 feet wide over 4,000 feet long, totaling 32.6 acres. The site is generally fiat with slope inclination of 3-4 percent. B. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North - Future Route 30 Freeway (under construction); Foothill Freeway South - Vacant land and an historic winery; Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre). East - Single family dwelling units and a mini-warehouse; Low, Low-Medium, and Medium Residential (2-4, 4-8, and 8-14 units per acre, respectively) West - Vacant land; Village Commercial; Medium and Low-Medium Residential (8-14 and 4-8 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre between Highland Avenue and Silverberry Street; and Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) between Silverberry Street and Base Line Road. North Foothill Freeway South - Medium Residential East Low, Low-Medium, and Medium Residential West Neighborhood Commercial, Medium, and Low-Medium Residential ITEM A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR 00-35 - KAUFMAN AND BROAD September 13, 2000 Page 2 BACKGROUND: On October 14, 1998, the Planning Commission approved Tract 15875 for 158 single-family lots, ranging in size from 5,282 to 11,595 square feet. Five floor plans with four elevations ranging in size from 2,000 to 2,943 square feet were also approved. All of the homes have 2-car garages with an optional third car tandem space on the largest floor plan. The original application in 1998 was submitted by Lewis Development. The new application was filed by Kaufman and Broad. ANALYSIS: A. General: Because of the market demand for homes with 3-car garages, the applicant proposes to modify plan 506 to add a third garage (see Exhibit "A" elevation of 506). The applicant also proposes a new plan 511, with a 3-car garage (See Exhibit "B" elevation of plan 511). Plan 511 has similar architectural style as the other previously approved plans. This totals 15 homes that would either be modified or have an added third garage. B. Desiqn Committee: The project was scheduled for Design Review Committee as a consent item on August 1, 2000. The Committee, (McNiel, Stewart, and Coleman) recommended approval of the project. C. Technical and Gradinq Committees: The Grading and Technical Review Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval with the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. D. Environmental Assessment: On October 14, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the analysis addressed in the Certified EIR (SCH No. 97071043). No further environmental review is required. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve Development Review 00-35 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions.

PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: Larry T. McNiel, Chairman A'I-rEST: Brad Buller, Secretary I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 13th day of September 2000, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: 09/13/00 16:51 FAX 760 431 9624 US FISH AND WILDLIFE [~002 United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wil,tiire Service Ecological Servic~ Cadsba~ l~ish and WildlJ~ Office 2730 Laker Avenue West Car.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, California 91729 Re: Negative Declaration for Tentative Tract 15866 - Fieldstone, City ofRencho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, California Dear Mr. Le Count: This letter provides our comments on the above-referenced Negative Declaration, received in our office on August 24, 2000, for the proposed residential subdivision md subsequent development of 8 acres of vacant land at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue a~d Vintage Diive in the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City), San Bemardino County, California. The project would result in the development of 24 single family lots, plus a lot ['or future expansion of GTE facilities. We are enneemed about the potcnlial impacts of the proposed project to the federalty endangered San Bemardino kangaroo rat (Di£odomys m*rriamipar'tn~', "SBIiR.") end the threatened coastal California gnat, archer (Polioptila californica californtca, "gnatoalcher"), both of which are known to occur in dose proximity to the project. We provide the following comments in keeping with our agency's mission to work Lharith others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and planls and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people." Moreover, we provide commentS On public notices issued for a Federal permit or license affecting the Nation's waters pursuant to the Clean Water Act. We also' administer the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Section 7 of the Act requires Federal agencies to con,mit with us, ifil is dctermined that their actions may affect federally listed species. Section 9 of'the Act prohibits the "take" (e.g., harm, harassment, pursuit, injury, kill) of federally listed wildlife. ';Harm" is further defined to include habitat modification or degradation where it kills or injurcs wildlife by impairing essential behavioral patterns including breeding, feeding, or shcltcring. Take inddcntal to otherwise lawful activities can be authorized uadcr section 7 (Federal consultations) and sectionl0 (habitat conservation plans) of the Act. Potential impacts to biological resources at the project ske arc not adcquatcly addressed in the Initial Study. The document does not reference any biological assessment of the site, and discounts any potential biological value by noting that ~,he project site does not fall wi*bin an area identified for endangc[ed, threatened, or rare species or habitats." The Initial Study needs to include an on-thy-ground evaluation of habitat mitability. It is not appropriate to rely on a Brent Le Count 2 General Plan or other document in place of an actual habitat assessment or protocol survey. Listed species have be~n known to occupy vacant lots, even surrounded by development. The proposed subdivision and subsequent development of the site may result hi take of federally listed wildl/fe. We understand that the site contnin~ sage scrub vegetation. Therefore, protocol surveys for the gnatoatcher should be conducted by a permkted biologist prior to final approval ofth~ proposed proiect. In addilion, SBK,_R. are known to occur in the vkinity of the proposed project and gnatcatohers have been recorded nearby as recently as this yea~. Trapping for the SBKR. should also be Conducted to determine whether incidental tako authorization under the Act is needed for one or both of these federally listed species prior to any site disturbance. The project could reduce the numbers and mst_dot the range of the SBKR and gnatcatcher now and in the future. Due to urban, industrial, and agricultural development, SBKR and gnatcatcher have declined throughout southwestern San Bernardino County. The cumulitive loss ofsuilable SBKR and gnacatcher habitat is akeady a significant impact under the Califomla Environmental Quality Act. We urge the City to address th~ impaots to biological resources by requiring avoidance mesatms or mitigation for the cumulative loss of thee resources. We recommend that clmlulafive impaots be addres~xt through the Valley Wide Multiple Spocies Habitat Conservation Plan, as outlined in the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding among u~ the California Dopartmlmt offish and Ct, mae, and 15 local~fisdktions, including th= City. In the interim, we recommend the City require project proponents to mitigate onsite or offsite in a biologically viable manner to preserve or restore open, mderal, and vaoant land used by sensitive species. We recumm~d acquisition, at s 5:1 ratio, of mitigation land conti~,uous with existing habitat are~ for SBK_,R, gnatcatcher, and other species as appropri0;te. We apprcdate the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed projcot. Since the proposed project could result in take of federally listed specie& we request that these issues be resolved priOr tO 6hal project approval. We ar= available to work with you and the project proponent to resolve the £eAe~ally listed and other semitive spe¢i~ issues on tim projt~'l site. ltfyou have art5, questiom, please contact Doug McPherson of this office at (760) 431-9440. ~4~ li~ AttBartel Assistant Field Supervi-~or oc: CDFG, Chino I-Fills, CA (Attn: Glenn Black/Robin Maloney Ram~s) City of'Rancho Cucamonga Planning, CA (Atto: Larry HendersolffDan Coleman) J_L.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-52 - FIELDSTONF - The design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for Tentative Tract 15866 consisting of 24 single family lots with a separate lot for future expansion of GTE facilities on 8 acres of land in the Low Residential Distdct (2-4 dwelling units per acre) located at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Vintage Drive -APN: 225-251.47. VARIANCE 00-05 - FIELDSTONE - A request to increase permissible wall height from 6 feet to 10 feet to mitigate Route 30 noise for future homes within Tentative Tract 15866 on 8 acres of land in the Low Residential Distdct (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre), located at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Vintage Ddve -APN: 225-251.47. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Proiect Density: 3 dwelling units per acre B. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North Existing Single Family Homes; Caryn Planned Community South - Route 30 Freeway East - Existing Single Family Homes; Caryn Planned Community West o Existing Single Family Homes; Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) and Medium Residential (8 - 14 dwelling units per acre) C. General Plan Desiqnations: Project Site - Low Residential (2 - 4 dwelling units per acre) North - Low Residential (2- 4 dwelling units per acre) South - Route 30 Freeway East Low Residential (2 - 4 dwelling units per acre) West Low Medium Residential (4 - 8 dwelling units per acre). ITEMS B, E, F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Tentative Tract 15866 - FIELDSTONE September 13, 2000 Page 2 D. Site Characteristics: The site is located on the east side of Milliken Avenue between the future Route 30 Milliken off-ramp to the south and Vintage Drive to the north. The site is surrounded by existing single- family homes in the Caryn Planned Community to the north and east, and single-family homes to the west. The project is not a part of the Caryn Planned Community. There is a GTE facility at the southeast corner of the tract, which will be parceled out to GTE with the subdivision for future expansion of their facility. Up to a 10-foot high sound wall is required along the south tract boundary to mitigate noise from the Route 30 Freeway. The applicant has submitted Variance 00-06 for the increased wall height. ANALYSIS: A. General: The lots range in size from 7,995 square feet (minimum 7,200 square feet permitted) to 13,828 square feet with an average lot size of 9,000 square feet (minimum 8,000 square feet permitted). All of the homes are proposed to be two story with 2,872 to 3,522 square feet. The applicant, Fieldstone Homes, intends to use the same home product as they are currently building within Tract 15814 at the southwest comer of Rochester and Highland Avenues. This home design was the subject of significant negotiations through the design review process. The proposed homes are larger and feature more amhitectural enhancements than the adjoining Caryn development. The Tentative Tract 15814 project was built under the Innovative Standards of the Victoria Community Plan, which required architectural enhancements such as front porches, trellis covered courtyards near the front door, and garages tucked behind the front porch/entry in exchange for reduced lot size and reduced setbacks. The current project retains the architectural enhancements but is being built under Basic Development Standards so no reductions in setbacks or lot size are being requested. The side and rear elevations do not have quite the same level of architectural enhancement as the front elevations, but they still represent an upgrade over existing surrounding homes by using window surrounds, divided light, and second story balconies, which allow the developer to achieve the front enhancements. B. Variance: The site is subject to excessive traffic noise from the Route 30 Freeway to the south, and Milliken Avenue to the west. A noise study (Mestre G reve Associates - April 5, 2000) was prepared for the project that recommends sound walls as high as 10 feet along the south tract boundary to mitigate Route 30 noise, and sound walls up to 5.5 feet along Milliken. Since the City's maximum permitted wall height is 6 feet, the Variance application is necessary. Caltrans has constructed freeway sound walls of similar height in the adjoining Caryn Planned Community. Staff is of the opinion that location of the site adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway and the resultant need for noise mitigation justifies issuance of the requested Variance. Compliance with the 6-foot height limit would result in unnecessary physical hardship in that the only altemative noise mitigation would be a very high earthen berm which would severely limit the area of the site available for development and lead to a maintenance burden for the south side of the berm (out of sight, out of mind). Exposure of the site to excessive traffic noise constitutes an exceptional circumstance, as the vast majority of land within the Low Residential Distdct is not exposed to such excessive noise. These areas can be developed in conformance with the allowed density range without sacrificing substantial land area to mitigate noise. The increased wall height will not be detrimental to public health and safety or materially injurious to surrounding property. The intent is to provide necessary noise mitigation for future residents, and to provide a safe and enjoyable living space. Therefore, the wall will be designed to match the other sound walls along the Route 30 freeway and the wall will be lower than many of the others that have been built along the freeway. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Tentative Tract 15866- FIELDSTONE September 13, 2000 Page 3 C. Desi.qn Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) on August 15, 2000, and the Committee recommended approval subject to conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. Refer to the attached Design Review Action Agenda for further details. D. Technical Review Committee: The Grading and Technical Review Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval. E. Environmental Assessment: Parts I and II of the Initial Study were completed. In completing the checklist, staff identified potential impacts related to Geotechnical Hazards, Air Quality, and Noise Levels. The site is near the Red Hill Fault Zone and a Geotechnical investigation was performed (Highland Soils Engineering, Inc. August 11,1988) for a previous project on the site. The study found that no traces of fault line run through the site but recommended a series of grading methods to ensure seismic safety. An environmental mitigation measure will require compliance with these recommendations. Grading and construction activities will result in some dust and exhaust emissions. Compliance with the recommended air quality mitigation measures will reduce impacts to less than significant. Finally, the site is subject to noise from the Route 30 Freeway and Milliken Avenue. A noise study was prepared (Mestre Greve Associates - April 5, 2000). The study recommended a 10- foot high sound wall along the south tract boundary to mitigate Route 30 noise and 5.5-foot high walls at key locations along the west tract boundary to mitigate noise from Milliken Avenue. If the Planning Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order. 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 approve Tentative Tract 15866, Development Review 00-52, and Variance 00-05 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Related File: Variance 00-05. Desiqn Parameters: The site is located on the east side of Milliken Avenue between the future Route 30 Milliken off-ramp to the south and Vintage Drive to the north. The site is surrounded by existing single-family homes in the Caryn Planned Community to the north and east, and single- family homes to the west. There is a GTE facility at the southeast corner of the tract, which will be pameled out to GTE with the subdivision for future expansion of their facility. Up to a 10-foot high sound wall is required along the south tract boundary to mitigate noise from the Route 30 Freeway. The applicant has submitted a Variance request for the increased wall height. The applicant, Fieldstone Homes, intends to use the same home product, as they are currently building within Tract 15814 at the southwest comer of Rochester and Highland Avenues. This home design was the subject of significant negotiations through the design review process. The proposed homes are larger and feature more amhitectural enhancements than the adjoining Caryn developments. The Tentative Tract 15814 project was built under the Innovative Standards of the Victoda Community Plan, which required amhitectural enhancements such as front pomhes, trellis covered courtyards near the front door, and garaged tucked behind the front porch/entry in exchange for reduced lot size and reduced setbacks. The current project retains the architectural enhancements but is being built under Basic Development Standards so no reductions in setbacks or lot size are being requested. The side and rear elevations do not have quite the same level of architectural enhancement as the fronts but they still represent an upgrade over existing surrounding homes by using window surrounds, divided light, and second story balconies, which allow the developer to achieve the front enhancements. Code Inconsistencies: The following are technical issues that staff will address through the Technical Review Committee. Adjust home plotting for Lots 11 and 17 to provide minimum 27-foot corner side yard dimension. Adjust home plotting for Lots 2 and 9 to provide minimum 20-foot deep rear yards. Adjust frontage of Lot 10 to provide minimum 40-foot lot frontage at the front property line (right-of-way line). 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. Replot house on Lot 10 to provide greater setback from property line and the adjoining GTE facility. Although the proposed 5-foot setback complies with Code standards, it does not meet the intent to provide adequate light, air and open space for the residents. One possible replotting is shown in Exhibit "A." 2. Provide a decorative view fence at right-of-way line along Street "B" to secure Lot 25 for the purpose of discouraging dumping, graffiti or other undesirable activities until such time as GTE expands. If left open, Lot 25 could become an attraction for nuisance. Open "view" fencing is preferred for police and public surveillance. Also, developer should provide written notice to potential buyers that Lot 25 is intended for expansion of the GTE facility. DRC COMMENTS TT15866- FIELDSTONE August15,2000 Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. There is a 22-25 foot high slope between Lots 15/16 and 22/23, which will be visible by northbound traffic on Milliken Avenue. The developer is proposing substantial tree planting on the 20-foot high slope and decorative masonry block for the rear yard fencing of Lots 15 and 16. 2. Provide at least two trees per each home's front yard exclusive of street trees. 3. The 10-foot high sound wall along the south tract boundary should have the tan split faced block with fluted block accent to match the remaining Route 30 Caltrans walls. 4. All walls shall be stuccoed on both sides and all pilasters shall have natural river rock application on all sides. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Corner side yard fences/walls should be setback 5 feet behind sidewalk to provide a planter strip. Lots 11 and 17 must be revised. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above comments. Attachment Desi.qn Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Para Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Brent Le Count The Committee reviewed the project and recommends approval subject to staff's comments with the following revision: 1. The rear and side yard fencing for Lots 15 and 16 may be translucent glass to permit views from these lots at the discretion of the developer. The glass.fencing must meet the requirements of noise mitigation per the noise study for the project. / ENVIRONMENTAL · -, ......

A MITIGATED~ATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ~igne : , ,.~ -'-' Brent Le Count, AICP Associate Planner August 10, 2000 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an explanation is required for all "Potentially Significant Impact," "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated," and "Less Than Significant Impact" answers, including a discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects identified. 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) COMMENTS: a-d) The proposed project was designed in accordance with the Development Code. The project site is located on the east side of Milliken Avenue, north of the Route 30 Freeway, which has a General Plan designation of Low Density Residential. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed and, therefore, no impacts will result from the project. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 3 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal'. a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. The proposed project will result in 24 single-family residences in the Low Density Residential District (2 to 4 dwelling units per acre), no increase in density is proposed. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use density for the site, and will not result in a significant increase in population not otherwise planned by the City in its forecasts. c) The site is currently void of any structures. No existing housing is located on-site. 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? ( ) (X) ( ) b) Seismic ground shaking? (X) ( ) c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? (X) ( ) d) Seiche hazards? (X) e) Landslides or mudflows? (X) f) Erosion, changes in topography, or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading, or fill? (X) g) Subsidence of the land? (X) h) Expansive soils? (X) i) Unique geologic or physical features? (X) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 4 Comments: a-c) General Plan Figure V-4, Geotechnical Hazards, indicates that the inferred Red Hill Fault Zone runs adjoining the site, to the south. A Geologic Investigation was performed to determine whether any actual fault lines are present. The report, prepared by Highland Soils Engineering, Inc., dated August 11, 1988, concluded that while there was no evidence of the fault on the subject site, and the site is not likely to undergo seismic ground rupture, homes should be constructed to withstand repeatable high-ground accelerations from a 6.5 magnitude earthquake on the Red Hill Fault. The site is not subject to potential liquefaction due to the depth of ground water and alluvial soils present. The project shall coreply with all of the recommendations contained in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Highland Soils Engineering, dated August 11, 1988. d) The site is relatively flat and surrounded by development. f-h) 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 and avoid erosion. Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Soboba. This soil association is not indicated to be subject to instability. The Building and Safety Division will require a soils report, prior to issuance of building permits. New structures are required to meet current earthquake standards, as required by the Uniform Building Code. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features beyond some pi!es of fill material previously dumped on the site. 4. WATER. Will the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration of surface water quality (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Changes in the amount of su dace water in any water body? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations, or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 5 g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a) The project is expected to result in incremental changes in absorption rates and drainage patterns due to an increase of paved surface area. The City Engineer must review and approve site and drainage plans that show that all runoff will be conveyed to existing and proposed drainage facilities which were designed to handle the subject water flows. b) Existing flood control/drainage improvements in the vicinity provide adequate flood protection. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. Stormwater runoff will be conveyed to the existing public storm drain system as approved by the City Engineer. f-i) The project will not intedere with groundwater management practices in the area because the site is not used for groundwater recharging. 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposah a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (X) ( ) ( ) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a) 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 being emitted during site grading. However, the project, at 8 developed acres, is below the AQMD Threshold of Potential Significance for Air Quality Impacts. Any impact to air quality is thus considered less than significant. d//¢ z.// Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 6 b) There are sensitive receptors, residences, adjacent to the project site. During construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces could affect these residences. NOxand PM10 levels may be exceeded during this phase, however due to the relatively short duration of construction and implementation of mitigation, the impact will be less than significant. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at 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. 4) The construction contractor shall ensure that all bare ground sur[aces will be sprayed with water or other acceptable dust palliatives to minimize wind erosion and fugitive dust emissions. c-d) The proposed project is to construct 24 single-family residences on 8 acres of land. This will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors. 6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 7 Comments: a) The project will result in increased vehicle trips compared to the current vacant land. The impact will be less than significant because the project is proposed to be developed within the specified density range for the site. b-c) Internal streets with access to Milliken Avenue have been designed to the City of Rancho Cucamonga standards for lines-of-sight at intersections, and provide ample access for both routine and emergency purposes. There are no incompatible uses anticipated. d) The project design meets the parking standards of the Development Code. e-f) The site design does not conflict with alternative transportation routes nor will it cause hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists. g) The site is not close enough to any airport to need noise or hazard abatement measures. 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and vernal pool)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x) e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a) The project site does not fall within an area identified for endangered, threatened, or rare species or habitats. b) The site is occupied primarily by overgrown weeds and shrubs. There is a small Eucalyptus tree adjacent to the GTE building at the southeast corner of the site, which will remain. c) The site does not support any locally designated natural communities. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) The project site is surrounded by developed properties. It does not function as a dispersal or migration corridor. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 8 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal'. a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? ( (X) b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner? ( (X) c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? ( (X) Comments: a-b) The project will not conflict with any energy conservation plans nor be wasteful. c) The project site is not located within an area classified as a Mineral Resource Zone. 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)? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush, grass, or trees? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a,c,d)There is no evidence of prior commercial or industrial uses. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes or discolored soils have been observed. There was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. b) The tract map has been designed to accommodate emergency vehicles and the homes will be required to have fire sprinklers. e) The site is surrounded by existing developed land and not located in a fire hazard area. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 9 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) The project will increase noise in the general sense of replacing a vacant lot with a tract of homes, but the relatively small size of the development ensures the increase will be to less than significant levels. The project is consistent with other residential uses nearby. b) The site is subject to potentially high traffic noise levels as it is adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway and the Milliken Avenue offramp. The site is also subject to traffic noise from Milliken Avenue along the west edge. A noise study was conducted by Mestre Greve Associates (April 5, 2000) which concluded that interior and exterior living areas would be exposed to noise levels exceeding City standards. The study recommends noise barriers and special construction techniques to reduce noise to acceptable levels. Construct a 6.5 to 10-foot high sound wall along the south tract boundary to mitigate Route 30 noise. Construct 5.0 and 5.5-foot high sound walls along the west tract boundary to mitigate Milliken Avenue noise. Provide special wall and window construction (including mechanical ventilation to permit closed windows) to mitigate interior noise levels on certain lots. The Grading Plan shows the recommended walls to the heights specified. 11. PUBLIC SERVICES.

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? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) 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.) ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) 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.) ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ( ) ( ) ( ) (X) Comments: a) The project site does not contain Natural Resources as identified on Figure V-3 of the General Plan. Additionally, the site is not known to contain any Coastal Sage Scrub, Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, or Delhi-Sands flowering-loving fly habitat. No sensitive species were detected on-site and it is unlikely any will move onto the site due to the lack of natural habitat. ~$,'30/00 09:44 8909 982 7777 ~4LL .~XD FORE~LA~X ~OOZ Irntiai Study for Cit'/of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract 15866 - Hall and Foreman Parle 13 b) 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 dudng this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of Construction vehictes and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. NO, and PM~o levels may be exceeded dudng this phase. Implementation of mitigation measures associated with approval of the map will reduce impacts to less than significant. c) The developer is required to pay development impact fees established by the City Council, the rates of which have been set to mitigate the potential impacts to fire protection service, police protection services, parks and recreational facilities, and other governmental services to less than significant. To the extent the project may impact utility resources provided by private utility companies, potential impacts upon such services will be mitigated by payment of rates and fees set by each utility agency. The project will also pay transportation impact fees to mitigate incremental impacts to the traffic system. d) The proposed project on 8 ac, ms would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located in a residential area along Milliken Avenue north of the Route 30 Freeway. Mitigation measures will reduce any potential impacts to a level of less than significant.

A. Recitals. 1. Fieldstone Homes filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. 00-05 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Vadance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 13th day of September 2000, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said headng on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on September 13, 2000, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Vintage Ddve with a street frontage of 698 feet on Milliken Avenue and 450 feet on Vintage Drive and lot depth of 450 feet, and is presently vacant and improved with a small GTE facility; and b. The properties to the north and east of the subject site are developed with single family homes within the Caryn Planned Community, the property to the south consists of the Route 30 Freeway now under construction, and the property to the west is developed with single family homes; and 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code, in that the only reasonable alternative to mitigate freeway noise would be to construct an earthen berm which would absorb a substantial amount of land available for development. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. VAR 00-05 - FIELDSTONE HOMES September 13, 2000 Page 2 b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district, in that the increased wall height is necessitated by the site location adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway and a vast majodty of land within the Low Residential Distdct does not have such adjacency to the Freeway. c. That stdct or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would depdve the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district, in that land within the Low Residential Distdct not adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway is capable of being developed to the mid point of the permitted density range and other residential land that is adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway has been allowed to be developed with similarly high sound walls. d. That the granting of the Vadance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, in that other residential land that is adjacent to the Route 30 Freeway has been allowed to be developed with similarly high sound walls. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, in that the wall will be constructed with tan split face and fluted block to match other Route 30 Freeway sound walls and the wall is lower than most of the other Route 30 walls. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1,2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below. PLANNING DIVISION: 1) The sound wall along the south tract boundary shall have the tan split faced block with fluted block accent to match the adjoining Route 30 sound walls. 5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DaY Of SEPTEMBER, 2000.

The containers include, but are not limited to, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, and bimetal cans. As a result of processing additional containers, the applicant has applied for the subject expansion. The project will consist of a 2.30-acre storage yard expansion that will be paved with slag. The project will include the addition of plants in the facility's storage area and front landscaped setback. An 8-foot decorative block will also be constructed around the storage area to screen materials and equipment from public view. No equipment or materials will be allowed to be stored above the height of the 8-foot screen wall (Exhibit "A"). B. Land Use Compatibility: The premise of all conditional use permits is to ensure the compatibility of adjacent uses and the separation of potential nuisance activities. The expansion of a recycling facility within the General Industrial Distdct is generally considered to be a compatible use. The recycling facility's storage yard expansion will not be seen from 6th Street; however, it will be visible from adjacent properties. It is unlikely that it will impact these properties since the expansion will be entirely screened from view with an 8-foot decorative screen wall. In addition, the project is not expected to impact adjacent properties with additional traffic tdps because no additional trips, automotive or truck, are expected as a result of the expansion. The proposed project is in compliance with all Industrial Area Specific Plan requirements. C. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Fong) reviewed the project on August 1,2000, and recommended approval (Exhibit "B"). D. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Committee reviewed the project on August 2, 2000, and determined that the project is consistent with all applicable standards and policies. E. Parking: Nine additional parking spaces will be added to the site to bdng the facility up to current City parking requirements. The new parking spaces will be placed behind the proposed screen wall (Exhibit "A"). F. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant and staff completed Part II. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust being emitted from grading the site. Sources of emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces. However, with implementation of mitigation measures in place, staff has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment and recommends adoption of a Negative Declaration (Exhibit "D").

( ( ) (,/.) 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 approximately 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 M~ 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is 12 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to rv~ 8.2 earthquakes, is 13 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincidedwith 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 landsliding or mudflows are not likely to occur. f) 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. 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. New developments on such soils are required to meet current earthquake standards as required by the Uniform Building Code. A soils report will be required by the Building and Safety Division prior to the issuance of building permits. The impact is not considered significant. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,/') Comments: a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety SupeF Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the 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. NOxand 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 site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2. Sixth Street and the Access Drive (if paved) shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~0 emissions. 5. 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. 6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-12 -TOMRA Page 7 7.

( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) Comments: a) The project is a 2.30 acre expansion of an already existing recycling facility located within the City's Industrial Area Specific Plan. The City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. In addition, the project is required to comply with standard conditions of approval for provision of adequate ingress/egress from the site, employee/visitor parking on-site, and large truck access. Compliance with conditions of approval will ensure that project-related trips are less than significant. b-d) The proposed recycling facility will continue to be accessible from 6th Street. Sufficient omsite parking will be developed. The building will be accessible to emergency vehicles. e/f) The recycling facility's storage area will be set back from the street and will not pose a hazard or barrier to pedestrians or cyclists g) Located approximately 2 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 00-12 - TOMRA Page 8 Impact Significant PotentiellYlmpact Impact Less Impact Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than Significant Mi[iga[ion Significant NO 7.

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 shod-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A shod-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 initial study did not identify any significant adverse ~mpacts to biological resources. The vegetation onsite has been highly altered for weed abatement purposes and does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threatened species. b) The project site is approximately 4.79 acres; however, grading will be limited to the 2.30 acres of vacant land, which will be used for additional storage area. There are no sensitive receptors nearby that would be significantly affected by noise and fugitive dust associated with expansion of the facility. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-12 - TOMRA Page 14 c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. The site is within an Industrial Area that permits this type of use. The initial study did not identify any impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's standard conditions of approval. d) The proposed recycling facility expansion would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.

IMPACT REPORTAND SUBAREA 18 SPECIRC PLAN AMENDMENT 00-01 - JPI - A request to add multi-family residential as a permitted use in the Mixed Use Planning Area IX of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan, located on the northwest corner of 6th Street and Milliken Avenue. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously certified in June 1994. An addendum to the EIR is being prepared to a~low multiple-family residential uses as an additional permitted use in Planning Area IX. The addendum is being prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) - APN: 290-272-17 BACKGROUND: Two Pre-Application Review workshops were held by the Planning Commission on September 29, and December 8, 1999. The Commission reviewed conceptual plans of the proposed project. The applicant was informed that the Empire Lakes Specific Plan does not address development standards for residential uses; therefore, an amendment is required. The amendment to the Subarea 18 Specific Plan is toadd multi-family residential (High-Residential Density up to 30 dwelling units acre) as a permitted use in the Mixed Use Planning Area IX. This issue is in response to a request by the applicant, JPI Westcoast Development, who is interested in developing a 521 multi-family residential unit proiect. The project, Development Rev~w 00-31, was approved by the Planning Commission on August 23, 2000, contingent upon approval of the proposed Subarea 18 Specific Plan Amendment to allow multi-family residential land use. The High-Residential Density is defined as follows: High-Residential Density: This district is intended as an area for high density multiple-family use, with site development regulations that assure development compatible with adjacent uses. Residential densities are up to 30 dwelling units per gross acre. ITEM D PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ISPA 00-01 - JPI September 13, 2000 Page 2 ANALYSIS: The Industrial Area Specific Plan establishes a comprehensive plan for the development of the industrial area. The Specific Plan is divided into Subareas based upon five major land use categories, which range in intensity from lightest to heaviest as follows: Industrial Park, General Industrial, Mixed Use, Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial, and Heavy Industrial. Each Subarea has distinct land use regulation and development standards. Subarea 18 is unique because it has its own Specific Plan consisting of 11 interrelated Planning Areas organized around the Empire Lakes Golf Course. The uses that are permitted in Planning Area IX, are research and developmentJlight industrial/business park type development; office/commemial; and restaurant- related uses. The proposal to add multi-family residential would add another land use. The proposed multi-family land use will be in concert with the concept of mixed-use. It would also allow for the accessibility of housing units that will be adjacent and/or withinclose proximity to existing industrial jobs in the area. Additionally, as other existing vacant industrial areas are developed, the proposed housing units ~ill be conveniently located. There are no development standards in the Subarea 18 Specific Plan for residential development. Therefore, the applicant also proposes a number of new standards as shown in Exhibit "A." The building setback along 6th Street is reduced from 45 feet to 44 feet. The parking setback along 6th Street for multiple-family residential uses in Planning Area IX is reduced from 25 feet to 19 feet (see Exhibit "A," Table 5-7, page 15). This setback is consistent with the "urban streetscape" concept presented to the Planning Commission at the second Pre-Application Review workshop in December 1999. Additionally, the standards for Major Arterial Divided (impacts Milliken Avenue, and 6th Street) are requested to be slightly modified to allow linear sidewalk and urban scale landscaping without undulating berming, which is also consistent with the "urban streetscape" concept. The applicant proposes on-site recreational and site amenities which is similar to the Development Code "recreation area/facility" list. These minor changes would only be effective for Planning Area IX (Figure 5-2). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified as a Master EIR for Subarea 18 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan in 1994. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Master EIR has been certified, no further EIR or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Master EIR. An Addendum was prepared to address the issue of residential development. In short, the proposed residential development will have less environmental impact than other mixed uses, such as industrial, office, or retail. The amendment to the Subarea 18 Specific Plan has been prepared in conjunction with an Addendum to the previously certified Rancho Cucamonga Subarea 18 Specific Plan final EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 93102055). The Addendum identified that there are no substantial changes in the project that require major revisions to the previous EIR. The appropriate findings of the Addendum are included in the attached Resolution of Approval. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in thelnland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were sent to adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the project site. Staff has also included a package of 11 letters from various businesses, which support the amendment and the residential development project (Exhibit "C"). Additionally, staff has also received a letter from the Chaffey Joint Union High School district stating that the project will generate approximately 104 high school students and that development fees will be collected (Exhibit "D").

INTRODUCTION o This proposed amendment to the adopted Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan (IASP) would amend the IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan for Planning Area IX would allow for development of this planning area with residential development, as well as the previously approved office, industrial, and commercial land uses. The amendment to the Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan has been prepared in accordance with California State requirements and City of Rancho Cucamonga requirements for Specific Plans. California law requires that a Specific Plan specify the type, location, intensity, and timing of development and ensures the systematic implementation of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The amendment to the Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan has been prepared in conjunction with an Addendum to the previously certified Rancho Cucamonga IASP Sub-Area Specific Plan final EIR. (SCH No. 93102055). The Addendum and Specific Plan provide for the needed development regulations and environmental documentation for Planning Area IX so that project-related subdivisions, site plans, grading permits, and/or discretionary approvals may proceed without new environmental documentation, absent significant changes in development conditions or proposals. 1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of Planning Area IX is to provide for a flexible mix of uses, including office, light industrial, retail, and residential uses. Planning Area IX proposes uses that are permitted under the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan land use designation of Mixed Use. Rancho Cucarnonga IASP Sub-Area 18 Specil~c Plan Planning Area IX Amendment 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Planning Area IX is a 20.5-acre site with proposed uses such as research and development/light industrial/business park; office/commercial; restaurant-related; and residential uses. 2.t REGIONAL AND LOCAL SETTING Planning Area IX is located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga in San Bernardino County. The planning area is bounded by Seventh Street to the north, Sixth Street to the south, Milliken Avenue to the east, and the Empire Lakes Golf Course to the west. 2.2 AMENDMENTS TO IASP SUB-AREA 18 SPECIFIC PLAN The following amendments are applicable to the IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan to allow multiple- family residential development as an additional permitted use within Planning Area IX. General Notes A. As set forth herein, all references to Planning Area IX shall be deemed to include multiple- family residences as a permitted use. B. The following land use category is hereby incorporated into the IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan: Residential Use-This category allows for high-density residential development in Planning Area IX of the IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan. High-density residential development shall be subject to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code for high-density residential uses, unless as otherwise noted in the Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan. C. The following land use table, Table A, is applicable to Planning Area IX. D. In instances in which the Development Guidelines are inconsistent with the implementation of an ~urban" development theme for Planning Area IX, minor departures from the Design Guidelines (because of changes in the marketplace, demand for different amenities and new technology) are acceptable subject to the approval of the Planning Director. E. In the event of a conflict between this Specific Plan, as amended, and the Development Code, this Specific Plan, as amended, shall govern.

The opportunity to live in a high quality multi-family community within walking distance of our offices will be very beneficial for a number of our staff. We are offering our support for the JPI Multi-family project located in the General Dynamics area. This is the type of lifestyle choice that has long been lacking in our area. It's my understanding that JPI is a leader in the multi-family market and builds a quality project with many amenities, not found anywhere else in the Inland Empire. The fact that they have chosen Rancho Cucamonga as their location says a lot about the job all of you have done in making this the premier place to live.

We are in the process of building two office buildings totaling 90,000 square feet and are currently under contract to purchase an additional 10 acres of land to the south at Sixth Street and Milliken Avenue for three office buildings totaling approximately 150,000 square feet. We have been aware for the last year of the high-density residential development proposed by JPI and have discussed the project with both our lenders and prospective tenants. The concept of a quality residential project within close proximity of our office buildings is ideal to help us market our facilities to the Southern California business community. Empire Lakes Center has the capability of developing into a unique mixed-use business environment that capitalizes on the location of the Metrolink Station, encourages a jobs to housing balance and is easily accessible to regional amenities including entertainment, transportation (Ontario Airport) and recreation (Empire Lakes Golf Course). We are pleased to be a part of Empire Lakes Center and the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and strongly encourage the City officials to support the quality high-density residential project proposed by such a superior company as JPI.

You can be assured that JPI knows their target market and where they are building will truly be a compliment and asset to the area. The lack of quality multi-family anywhere in the Inland Empire is, and has been a viable need.

First of all, JPI, much like the City of Rancho Cucemonga itself, is a class act. They build a top notch multi-family development that most any City would be proud of. This is the type of project that has long been lacking in the Inland Empire; and I'm not surprised that they have chosen Rancho Cucamonga as it will be an excellent marriage. I feel the JPI project would be a quality addition for the area and certainly a major compliment to the Empire Lakes Master Plan. Such a project will provide a life- style choice for people who are business professionals; and enjoy and expect the amenities this type of development will offer. Thank you for allowing me to offer my thoughts relative to this great project; and my complements to you for the superior vision you have developed and maintained for Rancho Cucamonga.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-0807 RE: JPE Project, Empire Lakes Center Dear Planning Commission: It has recently come to my attention that there are some exciting things taking place at the General Dynamics site. I wanted to personally express my interest and appreciation to you all for your foresight in seeing the need for quality multi-family projects that will attract and retain upper/middle income residents to live in Rancho Cucamonga instead of Orange County. Rancho Cucamonga has so much to offer to its residents. For those individuals who are not homeowners, high-end multi-family complexes are often the alternative they are looking for. Very few complexes meet these expectations in the Inland Empire. It is my understanding that JPI takes great pride in developing just such complexes and I can't think ora better place for them to locate than next to the golf course. That will definitely be an incentive for moving in! This project will attract the type of people that already choose to live in Rancho Cucamonga. Such individuals will help Rancho Cucamonga maintain the highest per capita income ranking in the Inland Empire and they will also spend some of their income at the businesses in the city. For all of these reasons, I am pleased to know the planning commission is considering such an exciting project and am sure it will prove to be another strong asset to Rancho Cucamonga~ Sincerely, Joani Finwall Director of External Affairs Pacific Bell EMPIRE LAKES August 22, 2000 City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission P.O. Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Re: JPI at Empire Lakes Center Dear Commissioners: Crown Golf Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of Empire Lakes Golf Course. We have been involved with General Dynamics during the last seven years in assisting with the design, construction and management of the Arnold Palmer designed golf course. The course has matured and is being recognized as one of the best public daily fee golf courses in the Western County. General Dynamics works very closely with our management team and keeps us apprised of all development concepts adjacent to the golf course. During the last two years we have seen the development program envisioning a high-end residential component for the project. We support the concept of bringing residential uses to Empire Lakes Center and look forward to the benefits we can mutually gain by the addition of high-density uses along the golf course edge. Our management team has explored ideas involving pick-up service, golf club storage and preferred tee times· All of these programs are reasonable and will help increase the number of rounds at Empire Lakes. During the last three years, two new high-end daily fee golf courses have been built within our marketplace and the competition will continue to increase. The City's approval of high-end apartments will have a beneficial impact to our business of the golf course and we support the quality architecture designs, which have been shared with us. Our company is very involved in community organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce and local high schools and colleges. General Dynamics has allowed us to provide free golf to the local high school and college golf teams to help promote the golf business we manage. Please give me a call if you have any questions, we would like to discuss our view in greater detail. Sincerely, Michael Lautenbach General Manager 'I 1015 $ixti~ Street * Rancho Cucamor~ga.

O. Box 870 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Subject: JPI's Jefferson at Empire Lakes Planning Area IX Rancho Cucamonga IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan Dear Commissioners: Since mid-May of last year I have served as consulting design professional to General Dynamics Properties (GDP) as it receives and evaluates proposals for the development of its Empire Lakes property. Specifically, I am tasked with providing "review and critique of(developers') conceptual designs and plans..., for compatibility with GDP's overall goals and to guide (the developers) toward planning and design solutions which will win City approval." In this capacity I have had the opportunity to review a number of development proposals, including the one that is before you tonight. Prior to and during its earliest informal discussions with the City, JPI presented GDP with a series of concepts for the development of the project, and on each occasion I reviewed the concepts and provided input to GDP and JPI. JPI consistently responded positively to this input, and through several iterations eventually arrived at the concept which was presented to you in a workshop last September. Since then JPI and its design team have endeavored to embrace not only the comments received at that workshop but also the significant input that has been provided by City staff during the formal project application/review process, in a determined effort to provide a project that not only meets the City's standards but also raises the bar for project quality. In my view, JPI has succeeded handsomely. I recently had the opportunity to review the project drawings that are now before you, and I was delighted to see the many enhancements that are the result of City review. Among these, the most noteworthy are the focus that has been placed on the project's clubhouse by bringing it forward to Milliken Avenue; the greatly enlarged interior open space, with its many amenities; and the unique urban edges that the project will present to its Milliken Avenue and Sixth Stxeet frontages. 119905 Chair and Member of the Planning Commission 23 August 2000 Page 2 As you know, I served on the Planning Commission for six years, and I participated in the review and approval of GDP's specific plan. I was then, and I am now, a vocal proponent for quality development in this City. This project offers that kind of quality. I urge your favorable consideration and approval.

We intend to develop our own corporate office facility and additional office buildings in a community-oriented office park. We chose the Empire Lakes site due to the opportunity to locate on a premier golf course and current activity occurring in the area. We are cognizant of the proposed project by PPI. The prospect of having a quality housing development in such close proximity to us would compliment our project. JPI's reputation of locating in superior markets will only make it more attractive to our target market looking to relocate to the inland Empire.

The project is located within the Etiwanda High School attendance area. Enrollment at Etiwanda High School has exceeded capacity and any additional new development will result in additional overcrowding at the school. We estimate that this project will generate approximately 104 high school students and Etiwanda High School will be impacted by these additional students. Chaffey Distdct will collect statutory development fees for new construction throughout the District. Sincerely, Susan B. Sundell, Ed.D. Director, Business Services - RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF SUBAREA 18 SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 00-01, A REQUEST TO ADD MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AS A PERMITTED USE IN THE MIXED USE PLANNING AREA IX, AND ESTABLISHMENT OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 6TH STREET AND MILLIKEN AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 290-272-17. A. Recitals. 1. JPI Westcoast Development, L.P., has filed an application for Subarea 18 Specific Plan Amendment as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 13th day of September 2000, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public headng on the application. 3. All legal prerequisites pdor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission dudng the above- referenced public hearing on September 13, 2000, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property within the City; and b. The proposed amendment will not have a significant impact on the environment; and c. The proposed amendment is consistent with the flexible land use concept of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan or the General Plan and will provide for the logical development of the Planning Area IX and the General Plan and with related development; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION ISPA 00-01 - JPI September 13, 2000 Page 2 b. The amendment promotes the goals and objectives of the Industrial Area Specific Plan; and C. d. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and e. The subject application is consistent with the objectives of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan, and the purposes of the Subarea 18 Specific Plan; and f. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. 4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified as a Master EIR for the Empire Lakes Subarea 18 Industrial Area Specific Plan. The Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21157.1 provides that the preparation and certification of a Master EIR allows for the limited review of subsequent projects that were described in the Master EIR as being within the scope of the reporting accordance with certain requirements. However, because of the changes that are submitted by this project, an Addendum was prepared for said project. An Addendum to the Subarea 18 Specific Plan final EIR is appropriate documentation because some changes or additions are necessary to descdbe the proposed residential project but none of the conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the attached Addendum based on the following findings: a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions to the previous EIR because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in severity of previously identified significant effects. b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. c. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, 2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR, 3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or 4) mitigation measures or alternatives, which are considerably different from those analyzed in the final EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in paragraphs 1,2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application, and recommends approval of Subarea 18 Specific Plan Amendment No. 00-01, as shown in the staff report. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION ISPA 00-01 - JPI September 13, 2000 Page 3 APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2000. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: Larry T. McNiel, Chairman A3-i'EST: Brad Buller, Secretary I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 13th day of September 2000, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: DEAR PLANNING COMMISSION, Please allow me to apologize for my absence. Being a dual resident has its drawbacks and I want the commission to be sure that had I not been away on business I would definitely be present to speak hem today personally. One of the major reasons that our investment as a hotel operation has been so successful in Rancho Cueamonga (besides our excellent service @) has been the proximity of shops, restaurants and bookstores within walking distance of the hotel. However, until the opening of Twins there was no real Nightclub that we could comfortably refer to our -"bikqiffrsg"'client~le-without-h~viffg-a-co~em~of liability-due-to the questionable-clientele of the current bar/nightclubs in Rancho Cucamonga. Twins is what Rancho Cucamonga has needed for a long time. Twins is a club that caters to a more upscale clientele, and plays a broader range of music as not to displace any one nationality, gender or race. The service is always friendly and efficient and cocktail and food prices are better than expected. Twins underpromises and overdelivers from the time you enter the parking lot to ordering your first drink and that is the crux of any successful business. Furthermore, Robert and his nephews are very. savvy marketers. They are constantly supporting new events in the area and soliciting business in the form of flyers, newspaper print and radio media. This type of exposure for the city has a definite dollar value. If there is one club that is congruous with the type of Nightlife Social practices that Rancho Cucamonga intends to support and foster it is Twins Nightclub. I urge the planning commission to fully support the extension ora 7-day operating week for the establishment. As a resident and business operator in Rancho Cueamonga, I am all too happy to see this club succeed. My wife and I visit the club frequently as well as entertain guests and business clients there on a regular basis. A 7 day week would allow us to refer the majority of our 30,000 annual business guests to the property as our peak occupancy periods are Monday through Thursday. It makes good business sense for us service wise, Twins profit wise and the city tax-~vise, what could be a better fit? Thank you very much for allowing me to address the commission in absentia and I hope that I have shed some light on the benefits of approval on this matter.

Related file: Conditional Use Permit 97- 23. BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission approved the subject night club and sports bar on December 10, 1997, with a requirement that the Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit be brought back for Planning Commission review after six months of operation for the Commission to ascertain compliance with Conditions of Approval. The applicant opened the subject nightclub and sports bar in February of this year. The applicant is now requesting an increase in hours of operation so that the club may stay open until 2:00 a.m., seven nights a week (the club currently must close at midnight Sunday through Wednesday). The December 10, 1997, Planning Commission Staff Report is attached for reference (Exhibit "A"). COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS AND CODER: A. Ne_.~hborhood Issue____~s: The business is surrounded to the north and east by single-family residences, and to the west by a convenience store and transient apartments. During the first few months of operation, staff received complaints from George Guidera, the property owner to the east of the Twins Club. Mr. Guidera complained about trash being thrown over the Twins Club's easterly fence line onto his property, irrigation overspray, overgrown weeds on ITEM G-H PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP MOD 97-23, EP 00-02 -TWINS SPORTS BAR AND GRILL September 13, 2000 Page 2 the club's site, and excessive glare from its security lighting. Staff investigated the complaints and found many of them to be true. The Twins operators were contacted and made a verbal commitment to resolve the situation. Since that time staff, has received a May 25, 2000, written complaint from Mr. Guidera regarding the same issues. Mr. Guidera is also now requesting a solid wall along the Twins' east property line to mitigate trash and irrigation overspray. A wall would prevent irrigation overspray and may discourage trash from being thrown over onto Mr. Guidera's property. The applicant has continued to commit to resolving the complaints, but as of the date this report was written, Mr. Guidera is still not satisfied. Please refer to the attached letter from Mr. Guidere (Exhibit "B") for further details. On Tuesday, September 5, the applicant provided a written response to this matter (Exhibit "F"). Peter Halpin who lives on Stafford Street north of the Twins Club submitted a second letter of complaint. Mr. Halpin complains of excessive noise and inadequate security in the parking lot area (Exhibit "B-1 "). B. Code Enforcement: Records show that there are no outstanding complaints, other than the two noted above, related to the operation. There was a noise complaint in May 2000, but that complaint was resolved. C. Compliance With Conditions of Approval: The Conditions of Approval required several site upgrades that have been completed, including landscaping, wrought iron fencing, parking lot installation, painting the building and roofing, and new driveways. Routine inspections of late consistently reveal a minimal level of site maintenance. Broken glass, poorly irrigated landscaping, scattered trash, and a poorly kept trash enclosure have been noticed in the rear (north) parking area on several occasions. In the past, the operators have verbally assured staff that they will do a better job of maintaining the site and on September 5 they hand- delivered a written commitment. On Thursday, August 31, illegal promotional posters for the Twins were posted on telephone poles along major streets in the City. These signs remained up over the weekend. On Wednesday, September 6, after a call from staff, the applicant agreed to remove the illegal signs. D. Law Enforcement: The Police Department has provided a printout of calls for service for the site address from February through May 2000. The list includes one "assault with a deadly weapon" (Exhibit "E"). HOURS OF OPERATION: The applicant would like to increase hours of operation to remain open until 2:00 a.m., seven nights a week. They are currently required to close at midnight Sunday through Wednesday. The applicant has not yet demonstrated their ability to satisfactorily maintain the site and resolve issues with neighboring property owners. In light of the outstanding property maintenance issues and neighbor's complaints, increasing hours of operation may not be advisable. 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. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP MOD 97-23, EP 00-02 - 'I'WINS SPORTS BAR AND GRILL September 13, 2000 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION: In light of the outstanding property maintenance and complaint, staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue consideration of Conditional Use Permit 97-23 Modification and Entertainment Permit 00-02 for one month. This will provide the applicant time to demonstrate their ability to satisfactorily maintain the site and resolve issues with the neighboring property owners.

Related File: Conditional Use Permit 97-23 (also Conditional Use Permit 94~08 and Entertainment Permit 94-01 previously approved) BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to use a vacant building as a night club and sports bar. The building was the site of the original "Club 66" night club that operated in the City for 13 years. After "Club 66" ceased operation, another night club, "The Peppermint Elephant" used the facility until about 1986. In 1994, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit for a night club/sports bar but the business was not opened and the approvals have since expired. Many of these issues identified by staff in reviewing the previous request have been addressed by the applicant with the current project. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A.

General: The applicant is proposing a dance floor with D.J. area within the central portion of the building with a "social bar" at the south end and a "sports bar" with pool tables and dart boards at the north end. The applicant is not currently proposing live musical or comedy performances but may wish to include such activities in the future. A complete description of the proposed activities is provided in attached Entertainment Permit application (Exhibit With the establishment of the use, the applicant is proposing to bring the site up to current Code requriements. Additional parking will be provided at the rear of the site. Landscaping will be provided around the perimeter of the site as well as within the new parking area and adjacent to the building on the north, south, and west sides. A landscape planter with 5-foot high wrought iron fence will be installed in the parking area between the proposed sports bar and the existing motel and convenience mart. A 5-foot high wrought iron fence would also be provided around the perimeter of the site. Decorative treatment will be provided for the driveway entrance off Foothill Boulevard. Lighting will be provided for the building and within the parking area. The parapet along the east elevation will be extended to screen rooftop equipment and to provide a finished appearance to the wall. At the Technical Review Committee meeting, the applicant requested additional entertainment activities. This request was made after the public notice was sent to be advertised in the newspaper so it is not included in the description. If the applicant wishes to pursue additional entertainment, then'the public hearing must be re-advertised for the next available meeting. ¢ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-23 & EP 97-02 - TWINS SPORTS BAR December 10, 1997 Page 3 B. Neiqhborhood C0moatibilitv: In reviewing the previously approved Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit, staff identified potential conflicts between the existing motel and convenience market to the west and the proposed night club/sports bar. The motel essentially functions with month-to-month rentals and is therefore, similar in nature to an apartment building. As such, the motel is vulnerable to potential noise and outside activities associated with a sports bar operation. Also, the convenience market sells alcoholic beverages so there is potential for problems to occur in the parking area (uncontrolled outdoor consumption of alcohol) as patrons may go back and forth between the sports bar and the market. To mitigate these potential problems, installation of a landscape planter between the sports bar and the motel/convenience market was required. The current proposal includes a 6-foot wide landscape planter with a 5-foot high wrought iron fence between the sports bar area and the motel/convenience market area. The applicant also proposes to station a security guard at the convenience market and outside the proposed sports bar to minimize potential problems. A condition of approval limits the hours of operation and the maximum noise level generated by the establishment, including any live entertainment. C. Parkinq Issues: The majority of the parking area is located at the north (rear) end of the building and the main entry is located along the west side of the building. Because of the distance between the parking and the entry, the applicant is proposing valet parking. This will allow the applicant to provide convenience for customers while limiting the number of people in the parking area to aide security. The main entry is also proposed to be moved northerly from it's current location to provide room for vehicle stacking on-site off of Foothill Boulevard. D. Traffic: The applicant is substantially increasing the parking capacity of the site. There are existing inherent traffic conflicts because of the close proximity of the site to Hermosa Avenue and the adjacent convenience store. To address the increased traffic conflicts, the Engineering Division is conditioning the applicant to install the median island on Foothill Boulevard and consolidate the three existing driveways into one shared driveway. This will prohibit left turn movements to and from the site, thereby eliminating the primary traffic conflict. E. ~: The applicant proposes to have secudty personnel both within the building and walking the outside/parking area. Interior security will include a security guard stationed at the dance floor consistent with Entertainment Ordinance requirements. There will also be a video system to monitor the main entrance and each ofthe cash registers. The secudty plan, which has been reviewed by the Police Department, is attached as Exhibit "H." F. Hours of O eration: The applicant is requesting to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. seven days a week. It is recommended that the hours initially be limited to 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. This would decrease potential impacts upon the adjacent residential uses during the week while allowing the proposed business reasonable hours. These hours of operation are consistent with the previously approved Conditional Use Permit. The hours of operation could be modified at the six month Planning Commission monitoring review meeting per recommended Conditions of Approval 2 and 13 in the attached Resolution. l PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-23 & EP 97-02 - TWINS SPORTS BAR December 10, 1997 Page 4 G. Crime Statistics: Because of the concern over land use compatibility, staff requested a list of police calls received for the last two years in the surrounding area. The Police Department has provided such a list with a map locating the type of crime calls (Exhibit "1"). Note that most of the cdmes occurred in the residential areas to the north and south of the project site. Since the building has been empty for the past decade, no cdme statistics were requested regarding the previous nightclubs at this address. H. Environmental Assessment: The application is exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Conditional Use Permit: 1. That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That 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. 3. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Foothill Boulevard Specific plan. B. Entertainment Permit: 1. That the conduct of the establishment and the granting of the application would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare. 2. That the premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an illegal, improper, or disorderly manner. 3. That granting the application would not create a public nuisance. 4.

Any false, misleading or fraudukmt statement of material fact in the required application shall be grounds for denial of the application for an entertainment permit. ! The Environmental Setting/Existing Site Conditions: Currently the physical setting of 10134 W. Foothill Blvd. is 4.7 acres, the site has two operating businesses, an apartment type motel and a convince market. There is a parking lot separating the established businesses and the ten year vacant building where the proposed bar and grill resides. This 7,930 square foot vacant building was formally known as Club 66. The remainder of the property consists of open fields and one tree. A portion of the open field will be developed and used for additional parking. Proposed Land Uses: The primary goal is to develop this building and land surrounding to keep up with the current trend of Rancho Cucamonga, and make it a clean and pleasant sight. We will plant multiple trees and planters that will be irrigated We will also construct a new parking lot, which will be located to the rear of 10134 W. Foothill Blvd. Moreover, we anticipate, the location of this parking lot should minimize traffic congestion on Foothill Blvd. The proposed use of the location commonly known as 10134 W. Foothill Blvd., is a general business commercial venture that fits within the cities commercial zone ordinances. We propose to run and operate a 2! year and over restaurant, sports bar and grill. It will include D.J. music, dining, dancing and sport watching via satellite, live band and comedy are not, at this time included; but do not want to be excluded. Our sports bar and grill will include pool tables and da~t boards. Along with food we plan to serve alcohol Monday through Sunday. We plan to begin employing 25 to 35 persons, with a goal to employ 50 persons. This includes a high number of security to keep a positive atmosphere and a fully controlled environment. Our goal is also to provide Rancho Cucamonga with a clean quality location for social gathering and entertainment. At the same time, we want this establishment to reflect the City's heritage with its historical location on Route 66. Compatibility: The property to the West contains a motel and a convenience market. While most motels operate on a night-to night arrangement, the motel actually functions more like an apartment complex with week-to-week rentals. As witnessed with previous entertainment uses, bars/restaurants in close proximity to residential uses have had a tendency to create noise problems for the residents. Previously on this property, all that separated the bm' and grill and the motel was a paved parking area. In recognition, to provide buffering between the uses, we will build a wall between the two sites to alleviate the headlights from shining into the motel and to minimize noise. Since the convenience market has approval by the Planning Commission to sell alcoholic beverages (distilled spirits), we will want to regulate the flow of traffic between sites, to prevent consumers from drinking in the parking lot. To achieve this we will landscape a planter between the two sites. Also, the Police recommend a security guard be stationed in the parking area in the evening, we agree, and are will staff accordingly.

First level, licensed weaponless security guards; second, door attendants and third, an operations manager that will be staffed at all times of operating hours. Our goal is to provide a clean and safe establishment for our staff and clientele and the city of Rancho Cucamnnga. As an illustration, we will staff security appropriately, depending on the traffic flow of our business. Entrance and Inside: At Twin's main entrance we will place one door attendant in the day and in the evening we will add one security attendant. Their jobs include checking identification and enforcing all codes. We wiil have at least one security attendant at all times in the daytime hours. We will staff one security attendant on the dance floor when dancing is present. We designed our floor plan to enable us to easily identify any problems and quickly resolve them. We will add and subtract attendants depending on our occupancy. Outside and Parking Lot: Twins' outside security will consist of two security guards in a well lit parking lot at all times during the evening hours of operation. As a result, our clientele will be moving and not loitering. We will place one security attendant in front and around the convenience store. Once again to help II~inimi:~e loitering and the consumption of alcoholic beverages around the store or in the parking lot. The second security guard will also patrol parking in addition to the main building. Additional Efforts: In our willingness to provide Rancho Cucamonga with a safe place of social gathering, we discussed our security ideas with Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff's Department and The Crime Prevention Unit. In summary, we will install a security camera at the main ~entrance to assist in clientele identification if a situation should call for such. To assist with any imemal affairs we will also install cameras to monitor each cash register. To insure a rapid response security team, our secuxity systems will be in constant communication with one another. Twins' entrance security, inside security, and parking lot security will use I-I/T (Hand Transmitt~ Radios). The lighting in the parking lot will have a minimum of one foot candlelight on the pavement surface. We will also light the east side of the building. Correspondingly, we will remove all shrubs ami furnish a clear walk way on the east of the building. In addition, there were suggestions of a wrought iron fence on the Southeast comer of the building facing Foothill. We agree this will add to additional security efforts and therefore we will build it.

He out that the City standards require 70 mph rating and said he had never seen a pole come Hearing no further testimony, sed the public hearing.

Planning Comm,ssion Minutes -5-10.,...r...., ,I December 10, 1997 1 Chairman Barker stated it '~derstanding that the conditior all conditions applied on the previously approved project. Mr. Le Count responded that was correct. Chairman Barker observed that the applicant owns the adjacent convenience market. He asked what would happen if the applicant sells the store. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, stated there is a separate APN for the store and motel but said a title search shows it as one parcel. He said the applicant would have to split with a parcel map. Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated that conditions could be added to a Parcel Map split. Chairman Barker opened the public hearing. Chades Buquet, Chades Joseph Associates, 10681 Foothill Boulevard, #395, Rancho Cucamonga, provided photographs taken eadier in the day. He said he appreciated comments regarding traffic conditions at other locations with entertainment. He said his clients did not disagree with recommendations made by staff. He indicated the property is owned by the family and they have extensive night club and bar experience. He felt the site has become an attractive nuisance for transients. He acknowledged that it is one parcel and observed that significant infrastructure requirements were placed on the site. He pointed out that it is a non-construction conditional use permit and is a rehabilitation of the site. He indicated the conditions include $130 thousand for infrastructure costs. He did not disagree with the need but stated there is a cash-flow issue. He said there is a pending flood control improvement project on Foothill Boulevard. He said the applicant was willing to step up to the plate with $61 thousand but was asking for bonding or phasing of the balance of the improvements over a 5-year period. He said if the applicant does not go forward, the costs for the flood control would be fully borne by the City. He asked that they be permitted to be open until 2 a.m. on Thursdays. He requested deferring installation of the wrought iron fencing and utilizing the existing chain link fencing which he said is not visible from either Foothill Boulevard or Hermosa Avenue. He said the applicants would like to deal with the hotel on the corner and would then have to move the fencing. He said the corner has been unsightly for a number of years and he believed the project will be a positive impact. He indicated the applicant is planning on jazz bands. Commissioner Tolstoy asked the experience of the family with regards to this type of business. Mr. Buquet stated they were the original owners and operators of Club 66 and have run a total of seven different establishments. Robert Lakees, 11655 Sienna Ddve, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he was general manager for Club 66 for nine years. He said he also owned Club Unicorn and Band Box. He said he will be assisting in running the bar and grill. Chairman Barker stated he had talked to one of the applicants over the telephone and has known them since they were relatively small. He said his conversation was regarding tonight's proceedings. He asked if the applicant was requesting phasing and a bond to guarantee the phasing. Mr. Buquet asked that Engineering Conditions 1, 2, 3, and 8 be modified to allow for phasing of the frontage improvements on Hermosa Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, contribution toward installation of the Foothill Boulevard median, and contribution toward the special pavers within the Foothill Boulevard/Hermosa Avenue intersection. He suggested they work out the details with Engineering staff. Commissioner Tolstoy questioned the location of the chain link fencing that Mr. Buquet was asking that they be allowed to utilize in lieu of the wrought iron fencing. ¢ Mr. Buquet indicated wh ~ain link fencing currently exists, id they would like to work out the details with Planning staff. Commissioner Tolstoy noted there are residences located to the north and he feared the lights from the valet parking of cars wilt shine into the residential area. Mr. Buquet suggesting planting vines along the chain link fencing. He said there is also a general slope to the north. Chairman Barker observed that since the convenience store was also on the same property, something should be done about the excess signs in the store window. Mr. Buquet commented that the store would be in compliance within 72 hours. Commissioner McNiel asked if the applicant was wanting to defer development and payment of the improvements. Mr. James noted that the conditions call for payment rather than installation. Mr. Buquet stated that in working with the Engineering staff, the worst case scenarios have been identified. He asked to be able to work with Engineering staff regarding phasing. Chairman Barker asked where the fire hydrant is to be relocated. Mr. Buquet said it is not clear where it will have to be moved. Mr. James said that if the full frontage improvements are made at this time, the hydrant will have to be moved. He said it is not a Fire District requirement to move the hydrant. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing. Commissioner Tolstoy felt it would be nice to have the family who owns the property be involved with the business and he felt the City should be sensitive to their needs. He supported the applicant's requests and felt the details should be worked out with staff. He said his biggest concern was with traffic on Hermosa Avenue. He was also concerned about headlights shining onto residential properties to the north. He felt the City should do everything possible to have the building rehabilitated in an expeditious manner. Commissioner Bethel said his initial concern was with the applicant's request for a 5-year phasing plan. He felt that is a long time. Mr. James said the phasing time would be determined by an agreement process and it would most likely have to be approved by City Council. Chairman Barker observed that similar arrangements have been made in the past. Mr. Bullet said phasing has been permitted in the past for certain improvements on projects. He said if there was a consensus from the Commission that phasing should be allowed, the technical details could be worked out subject to approval by the City Engineer. Commissioner Tolstoy hoped the City Council would be sensitive to the request. He felt the Council has a goal to improve Foothill Boulevard. Chairman Barker felt the City would either have to agree or the building would be razed. Planning Commission Minutes '7-k~'~/1 m December 10, 1997 t Commissioner McNiel statee~J~l~t as a matter of policy, the Comr~ not previously allowed chain link fencing. Mr. Buller stated that chain link has been permitted only on a temporary basis. Commissioner Tolstoy felt that chain link would be appropriate where the fencing is not seen from the public dght of way. Commissioner McNiel stated he supported allowing the chain link in this particular situation but did not want to set a precedent. Chairman Barker suggested that chain link be allowed in only specific sections. He reopened the public hearing to ask Mr. Buquet where the applicant wanted to use the chain link fencing. Mr. Buquet requested that they be allowed to retain the chain link fencing along the northern and eastern property lines. The Commissioners agreed that would be acceptable on an interim basis with the details to be worked out to the satisfaction of the City Planner. Mr. Bullet suggested it could be chain link until the property north of the fence is further developed. He suggested perimeter landscaping to avoid the spillage of headlights onto adjacent property. Mr. Buquet reiterated that they would like to remain open until 2 a.m, on Thursdays. Chairman Barker again closed the public hearing. Commissioner Tolstoy supported the request. Commissioner Bethel concurred. Commissioner Bethel suggested a specific time table so that progress could be judged. Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Tolstoy, to adopt the resolutions approving Conditional Use Permit 97-23 and Entedainment Permit 97-02 with modifications to allow the facility to be open until 2 a.m on Thursdays; to allow chain link fencing on the northern-most and eastern property lines to the satisfaction of the City Planner; to require landscape planters around the perimeter of the site; and to allow an agreement to be processed with the City Council determining a payment schedule or bond amount for contribution toward frontage improvements on Foothill Boulevard and Hermosa Avenue, the Foothill Boulevard median (if not constructed), and the special pavers within the intersection.

O. Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca 91729 Cit. ~" ~ar ~ho Cucamon[ Division Dear Mr. Buller I was recently informed that the Twins Sport Bar located at 1013;t Foothill Blvd. has applied or is applying for change in their CUP permits 97-23. I am the property owner to the west of the bar. I oppose any changes at this time. In fact I would like the existing rules enforced. Because of the following reasons. In or about Dec. 1997 1 was notified of a hearing to open the bar again. At that time I submitted a letter to Brent in the planning dept. In that letter I addressed all of my concerns. Which were at the time. Cross lot drainage, Block all along the west property line, Trash, Grading and Drainage 14mdscapmg' Lighting issues, Hours of operation. Please note that I did not oppose the~ar opening again. THE REASONS ARE AS FOLLOWS We {my brother and I} have lived on that property way before Oicamonga became a City. During that time when the building was built it was called the CLUB 66. We had to install a fence back then because people would drive through the vineyards and destroy the vines. Throw trash and bottles and cans onto our property. Then the building was left empty or not used for many years. So I hope you understand why we have these concerns. During the years that the building was empty, trash from the storeand hotel would blow into our property. Because they do not have trash enclosures for the store or hotel and that they only have one trash bin for both business. No trash encloses at either business. Trash is only picked up once a week! Also note that the new trash enclosure was installed in a different location than what was designed_ When it would rain and flood on foothill. Water would backup and cut across the properties and flood our vineyards. Now that the storm drain is being installed_ We shouldn't have that problem. But the reasons for the block wall isstill the same. Keep the water from the sprinklers from spraying I0' into our property and_causing more weeds to grow. Which means more maintance on our part. The sprinklers should be along the east property line and spraying to the west into the parking lot. Please read CUP-97-23 page 3 item E-9. Drainage, fxomthe parking lot would not occur onto our property. Lighting: Larger and brighter light fixtures have been installed, That were not on the original permit. Now we can_pick strawberries at night and watcllthem get ripe_ [ have people that live in the home on the property. They have called me to complain about how bright the lights are_ ~thi~ CUP. Was permitted and suhmitled. Weren't the parking lot lights engineered and designed? So I ask you. Does longer business hours mean more trash and bn~ All of these problems that I have addressed_ Started back in 1997. During construction 1 inquired again to the Building inspectors. Before the final or certification of occupancy I walked the project with building inspector Jack Brown_ After the find[ i addressed the same issues to Bill MakshanofE What happens is that I usually get told to call code enforcement. A lady their [Sue] told me that it's a civil matter. According to the CUP 97-23 that was issued. Please read Page 2. item 11 and item 12, page 3 item 9. On page 3 of the final Resolution NO 97-67 item # 13 please read Because ifa security person was on site. There would be no drinking in the parking lot. That is a ABC law.

We do not concur with the conclusion in the Negative Declaration that the site does not provide habitat for the DSF. Although thia proposed project ama i~ not mapped as Delhi soils, it is adjacent to soils mapped as Delhi. Because use of the map is not a substitute for assessing the soil onsite, this area may provide suitable habitat for the DSF. DSF have been observed within vineyard areas within the past few years and other areas affected by past disturbance within the Ontario Kecovery Unit. Therefore, even though the subject site may have b~n used for agriculture, the project site has appropriate sandy soils and is near the only Imown sites supporting DSF within the Ollta.rio Recovery Unit and may support DSF. In addition, according to th~ San Bemardino Natural I-Estory Museum records, the sites are within the SBKR's historic range. The Negative D~larafion did not include an analysis for this species. As a result, the d~vdopment of the proposed projec~ may result in take of fode~ally listed wildlife. We recommend that protocol surveys be conducted by a permitted biologist for the SBKR and DSF to determlna whether inddental take authorization under the Act is necessary for one or both of these federally listed species prior to any site disturbance. Sites that conta/n unconsolidated sandy soils in the area are significant because they play a critical role in the recovery of the DSF in the Ontario Recovery Unit. The recovery plan for tho DSF identified the e~tshlishment of a recovery unit in the Onta~io/Raucho Cucamonga .area, wherein a secure habitat base will need to be conserved and r~stored to achieve population stability md recovery of the species. We are now working with ~ev~'al cities within San Bea'narclino County, including Rancho Cucamung~, to address issues relafittg to DSF regionally. This regional solution would ideotify lends that would be conserved for DSF and lands that could be developed outside of the reserve areas. Although the 101an is still being developed, the ultimate plan may provide a solution for properties such as the subject sites in the near future. This site should contribute to the proposed subarea reserve for the DSF and other species that occur throughout the Colton Dune ecosystem. Issues related to potential significant impacts to biological resources on the proposed project site need to be adequately addressed. The continual loss of SBK_K or DSF suitable habitat should considered significant under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City should require proper avoidance measures or mitigation for the loss of these resources. The proposed project may significantly reduce the numbers and restrict the range of the SBKR and DSF now and in the future. Proposed impacts to areas with the pote~ial to support DSF, even if shown not to be currently occupied, should be considered si~anific,xut and mitigated at a 3:1 ratio. We urge the City to address these potentially significant impacts to biological resources. Wa are concerned about potential impacts of the proposed project to raptors that use the area as fora~o~g habitat, and may result in siEnificant cumulative effects to migratory and residaut raptors. Therefore, we recommend that cumulative impaCtS to raptors be addressed through participation and implementation of the Valley Wide Multiple Speeles Ilabkat Conservation Plan as outlined in the 1995' M~morandum of Understanding among us, the California Department of Fish and Game~ and 15 additional local jurisdictions, including tho City. In the imerim, we reco,~,,end that the City requi~¢ project proponents to mitig~e omite or offsite in a biologically viable m~,~ner to preserve or rostor¢ the loss of open, rudcral, and vacant land used as for~sing habitat by raptors and other sensitive species.

Related File: DR-99-11 (Catellus Master Plan). Staff has prepared a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. .Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North Vacant land and the Rancho San Antonio Medical Building; Financial, Restaurants, Residential, Community Commercial, Hospital and Related Facilities, and Office uses; Terra Vista Community Plan South - owe s Home Improvement Store (under construction); Industrial Park (Subarea 7), L ' Industrial Area Specific Plan East - Vacant land planned for the Union Bank project, the Masi Plaza, and the Epicenter Stadium; Industrial Park (Subarea 7), Industrial Area Specific Plan West - Lowe's Home Improvement Store parking area; Industrial Park (Subarea 7), Industrial Area Specific Plan B. .General Plan Desiqnation,~: Project Site - Industrial Park North Commercial South - General Industrial East Industrial Park West Industrial Park ITEM I PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 00-15- Farmer Boys Restaurant September 13, 2000 Page 2 C. Site Characteristics: The site is located within the Catellus Master Plan area, which was approved by the Planning Commission in April of 1999, and within the Lowe's Home Improvement center approved by the Commission in May of 1999. 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. D. Parkin~ Calculations: The project is part of the Lowe's Home Improvement center for which a parking ratio of 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet of gross floor area is provide The pad on which the restaurant sits was master planned to have a 3,400 square foot building; and the current proposal, including the outdoor eating area, totals 3,400 square feet. Adequate parking will, therefore, be provided for the project. ANALYSIS: A. General: The building design incorporates some of the basic architectural features that were established by the Lowe's building, including tile roof, stucco, and tile accents. The restaurant is proposed to have a drive-thru lane, which will wrap around the north and west sides of the building. The building and drive-thru lane will be visually prominent from Foothill Boulevard and will contribute to the entry experience to the Lowe's center. The drive-thru lane is proposed to be screened by a landscape berm, a large porte-cochere on the west elevation, and a large trellis structure on the north elevation. An outdoor dining area is proposed on the north side of the building. The project represents a modification to the Catellus Master Plan, which did not include a drive-thru use in this location. However, the project meets the basic intent of the Drive-thru Design Policy, in that it is located 300 feet from an intersection and other drive-thru uses and the drive-thru lane respects the 45ofoot setback. B. Desiqn Review Committee: The project was considered by the Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) on June 20, 2000, at which time the Committee requested that the project be revised and brought back for further review. At the time, the building design was an overly simplistic box surrounded by a tile roof mansard. The project was substantially redesigned to incorporate some of the architectural features of the Lowe's and Union Bank buildings. The revised design was considered by the Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) on August 15, 2000, and the Committee recommended approval with conditions. Refer to the attached Design Review Action Agendas for further details. C. Technical Review Committee: The Grading and Technical Review Committees have reviewed the project and recommend approval subject to the Conditions of Approval 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. 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.

APN: 229-011-25, 31, and 32. Backqround: On June 20, 2000, the Design Review Committee requested that the project be redesigned and brought back for further review (see attached minutes). The applicant agreed to explore design revisions accordingly. The applicant's revised design incorporates many of the amhitectural features of the Lowe's building, such as a colonnade around key portions of the building. It also includes a substantial trellis feature and a porte-cochere over the drive-thru lane. The main east-west drive aisle between the Farmer Boys site and the Union Bank site to the east has been eliminated (this will help avoid a short vehicle stacking distance on the north-south entryto the site east of Union Bank). It is staff's opinion that the revised design successfully incorporates the direction provided by the Committee and recommends approval. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following items will be the focus of Committee discussion: 1. Provide a planter wall (heavy wall with planter on top) surrounding the outdoor eating area on the north side of the building to buffer the outdoor eating area from cars in the drive thru lane and to mitigate high seasonal winds. 2. Provide planters with trees and shrubs between parking lot and building, flanking entry. No Conceptual Landscape Plan was provided to clarify what areas are hardscape or landscaping. Secondary issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Change base of building to a Sawtee112-inch by 12-inch tile material to match Lowe's. 2. Signs - Ancillary information such as, "World Famous Hamburgers" or the like is prohibited by the Sign Ordinance. Business name only is allowed. Policy issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. All roof and ground-mounted equipment and utilities shall be fully screened. 2. Surround trash enclosure and Edison box with dense shrub planting. 3. Provide a double door vestibule at the main entry to mitigate strong seasonal winds. 4. Trash enclosure should feature overhead shade trellis and roll-up door. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee recommend approval of the project subject to the above conditions.

The content and final design of the wall sign shall be resolved through the Uniform Sign Program pending City review. 2. The Committee is willing to accept an alternative to the sawteel tile wainscoting to match the Lowe's wainscoting. The buff colored tile with teal colored accents that Farmer Boys showed the Committee are acceptable. 3. A double door foyer for wind protection was strongly recommended.

However, the project meets the basic intent of the Drive-thru Design Policy in that it 'is located 300 feet from an intersection and other drive-thru uses and the drive-thru lane respects the 45-foot setback. 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. Exterior should be completely redesigned, starting with the elimination of the mansard roof. The building lacks a strong amhitectural statement,which detracts from the quality desired for a building so prominently located on Foothill Boulevard at the entrance to Lowe's. The strongest element is a tile mansard roof, which gives the building a dated appearance. This style of mansard roof has become synonymous with the "corporate" design of fast food drive thru chains. Suggest incorporating gable and/or hip roof elements, and curved arches, consistent with architectural theme established by Lowe's (see Exhibit "A"). Secondary_Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the ~ommittee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. Eliminate or smooth out the awkward curve in main eas~-west drive aisle between Farmer Boys and Union Bank to avoid potential head-on collisions. 2. Provide Iow screen wall to enhance screening of drive-thru lane. See Carls Jr. at Foothill Boulevard and Masi Drive, or Texaco/'l'aco Bell at Foothill Boulevard and Elm Avenue. 3. Provide porte-cochere or large member trellis out over the drive-thru lane on the north side of the building to help minimize the presence of the drive-thru lane and incorporate it with the overall building. 4. East Elevation - Entry feature should project more by making columns same depth as width (i.e., 2 feet 9 inches) to provide a true covered entry. 5. Change base of building to a Sawtee112-inch by 12-inch tile material to match Lowe's. DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-15- FARMER BOY'S RESTAURANT June 20, 2000 Page 2 6. Signs - Andllary information such as, "Wodd Famous Hamburgers" or the like is prohibited by the Sign Ordinance. Business name only, 7. Plant trees between north side of building and drive-thru lane. 8. Extend enhanced paving into both handicap stalls at building entry. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All roof and ground mounted equipment and utilities shall be fully screened. The Iow 15-foot parapet height may not be sufficient to screen roof-mounted equipment from public views along Foothill Boulevard because building pad is 3 feet below Foothill Boulevard. Restaurants typically have larger/taller roof equipment because of cooking facilities. A detailed cross section should be provided to demonstrate screening. 2. Surround trash enclosure and Edison box with dense shrub planting. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be redesigned in light of the above comments and brought back for further review.

A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. / Brent Le Count ' Associate Planner June 27, 2000 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an explanation is required for all "Potentially Significant Impact," "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated," and "Less Than Significant Impact" answers, including a discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects identified. Significant Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would theproposah a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,-) policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,,) vicinity? d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') established community? ~omments: a-d) The project site is part of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park and was previously analyzed under the Initial Study prepared for Tentative Tract Map 15295, and included a detailed look at the subdivision of the 140-acre area into 13 individual parcels. The area is designated Industrial Park and General Industrial and is zoned Subarea 7 and Subarea 8, respectively, and is located on Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route. The proposed restaurant would be consistent with existing and permitted land uses in Subarea 7. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 2. POPULATION AND HOUS~G. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') population projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ) ( ) ( (v') directly or indirectly (e.g.. through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major nfrastructure)? c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ) ( ) ( (v') housing? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 4 Comments: a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. Operation of the restaurant will include 25 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 1.12 acres are proposed for development. The restaurant will be constructed in an area designated Industrial Park (Subarea 7). There are no residential structures within the vicinity. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: pot~ltially UnlSSS 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLBVI& Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? ( ) ( ) ( ) b) Seismic ground shaking? ( ) ( ) (v~) ( ) c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ( ) ("~) ( ) d) Seiche hazards? ( ( ) ( ) ('~) e) Landslides or mudflows? ( ( ) (~) f) Erosion, changes in topography, or unstable soil ( (v') conditions from excavation, grading, or fill? g) Subsidence of the land? ( ) ("/) h) Expansive soils? ( ) ( ) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Rod Hill Fault. The Rod 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 M,~ 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-DelhL 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. initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page ~ 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. Issues and Supporting ,.~ L.~ Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than 4. WATER. Will the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) ( ) (,,-) ( ) or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) hazards such as flooding? c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) of surface water quality (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)? d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) water body? e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') of water movements? f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') 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? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 6 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 Ill-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 stormwater 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. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) ( ) ('/) ( ) an existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) ( ) 0 (v') c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) ( ) ('") cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) Comments: a-b) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the site. However, the site is too small (1.12 acres) to generate significant PMlo 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 consistent with established grading practices. c-d) The proposed project is to construct a 2,775 square foot fast food drive-thru restaurant for public use on 1.12 acres of vacant land. Adequate parking and landscaping will be provided in accordance with the City Development Code. Minimal emissions will be generated from the cooking of food. The restaurant will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ( ) ( ) (,/) ( ) b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? c) Inadequate emergency access or access to ( ) ( ) ( ) (¢-) nearby uses? d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, b cycle racks)? g) Rail or air traff c impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') 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. b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel with an entry to the site from Foothill Boulevard. The entry is set back from the main drive aisle intersection so that visitors to the site will not conflict with vehicles in the drive aisles. The proposed project includes on-site parking and a fast food drive-thru. 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.

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') vernal pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') Comments: a) The site is an abandoned vineyard and is currently being graded as part of the Lowe's project improvements. No natural habitat exists on-site, and the property is not within the Ontario Recovery Unit, as indicated in Figure 6 of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (DSF) habitat. On-site vegetation is sparse and consists of non-native species. It is unlikely that any DSF will move onto the site due to the lack of natural habitat. b-c) The site is an abandoned grape vineyard with no native vegetation on-site. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) Intermittent industrial development in the area has eliminated any wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: unless Than 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES, Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) ('/) plans? b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) (/) inefficient manner? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 ~ Farmer Boys Page Issues and Supporting Information Sources: P~....,u~y Unless Than 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: a-b) The project will be required to conform to applicable City standards for energy conservation. c) The project site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an area classified as a Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ-2). An MRZ-2 zone contains deposits of known value and marketability. However, the State Geologist has determined that due to urbanization, the site is not in a Designated Area of available resources. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 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 inter[erence with an emergency ( ) ( ) (,,,) response plan or emergency evacuation plan? c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') health hazard? d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') potential health hazards? e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') brush, grass, or trees? 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. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 10 b) The project will not interfere with the flow of traffic on Foothill Boulevard or Milliken Avenue. Project plans will be reviewed and approved by City departments to determine adequate access for emergency vehicles. e) The project is not located in a high fire hazard area and is located within a shopping center. ImpactS~gnif~can! Potenfia~lYlmpact Impect Less Impact Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) (v') ( ) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~') Comments: a-b) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the development would add people and traffic to the area. Noise will be consistent with existing levels, which includes traffic on Foothill Boulevard and surrounding commercial use. There are no sensitive receptors in the area and impacts to noise were not considered significant. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PotentiallyUnleSS 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? ( ) ( ) ) b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) ) c) Schools? ( ) ( ) ) d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? ( ) ( ) ) ('") e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) ) (v') Comments: a-e) Fire Protection - The site is located on the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue, and is served by a fire station located on the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue, approximately 1.5 miles south of the project site. Standard Conditions of Approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project. The addition of a 2,775 square foot restaurant is not considered significant. _.~._~3 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 11 Police protection - Additional police protection is not required, as the addition of the restaurant will not change current facility operating hours and will not have a substantial increase in area to be patrolled because the project site is relatively small, slightly larger than one acre. Schools - The proposed restaurant 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 restaurant will require 25 full-time employees that will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. Therefore, construction of a restaurant will not adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities. Public facilities - The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities and will be consistent will the City of Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') b) Communication systems? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution ) ( ) ( ) (~,) facilities? d) Sewer or septic tanks? ) ( ) ( e) Storm water drainage? ( ) ( ) ( (,/) f) So d waste disposal? ( ) ( ) ( (./) g) Local or regional water supplies? ( ) ( ) ( (./) Comments: a-g) The project will use existing gas, electrical, and communication systems. Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler. Currently municipal solid 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.

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 cf time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-15 - Farmer Boys Page 14 c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ) ( ) ( ) (v') are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ) ( 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 too small, slightly larger than one-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 2,775 square foot restaurant 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.

Secondary design material accents such as colored panel reveals bands and blue reflective glazed glass is also proposed. The office portions of the building will front onto the southeast corner of 6th Street and Hermosa Avenue and at the southwest portion of the site, along Hermosa Avenue. The office elevations feature a well articulated building surface, with vertical and horizontal changes to the building plane, color variation, and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glass accents. The building plane along north, south, east, and west elevations will feature 3 horizontal panel reveals bands (painted silver shimmer) and a scored reveal design theme between each building panel. In addition, two vertical parapet elements extending above the roof, along the west elevation facing Hermosa Avenue, are proposed to add relief to the long roofline elevation. The loading area of the building will front onto Hermosa Avenue and be screened by an 8-foot screen wall. The screen wall consists of painted tilt-up concrete, with horizontal panel reveals to compliment the architectural design of the building. Landscaping will be provided along the rear elevation to soften views from the Deer Creek Regional Trail. B.

Comments: a-d) The proposed project was designed in accordance with the Industrial Area Specific Plan guidelines for development in Subarea 5. The project site is located on the southeast corner of Hermosa Avenue and 6th Street, which has a general plan designation of General Industrial. The designation allows for manufacturing and warehousing activities. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed and therefore no land use impacts will result from the project. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PotentiallyUnless Than 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ) ( ) (,,') population projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ) ( ) (v') directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ) ( ) (,,') housing? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 4 Comments: a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. The number of people to be employed by future tenants is currently unknown. However, new employees will not likely create a demand for additional housing as it is anticipated that a majority of the workers to be hired currently reside in the City or surrounding communities. c) The proposed project will be constructed on a total of 27.75 acres of land. Approximately 17 acres of the site was used for agricultural purposes. The remaining south portion of the site contained two, single-family residences. The older of the two homes was likely a farmhouse possibly constructed in the 1930's (historic photographs indicate that the site was used for agriculture since at least 1938). The second home was constructed much later possibly in the late 1970's. The property owner obtained the necessary permits and had the structures demolished in-place and removed in accordance with City codes. The area is designated Subarea 5, General Industrial. The removal of the two residences will not have an impact on the City's housing supply. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless l~en 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEIV~. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? ( ) ( ) ( ) (¢') b) Seismic ground shaking?

( ) (,/) i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) (,/) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site and 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 one mile northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately five miles northwest. 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 13.5 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 15 miles Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 5 northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The project site is not located near a body of water. The Deer Creek Channel, which runs adjacent to the east and south boundary of the site, contains water intermittently generally dudng heavy storms and would not present a seiche hazard. e) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal and 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 gravelly loamy sand in scattered tracts 10 to 20 acres in size. Also included are small areas of Delhi fine sand. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features. I Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Un~es$ Than 4. WATER.

( ) Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 6 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PolenliallyUnless Inched i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) ( ) (v~) groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Comments: a) The project is expected to result in changes in absorption rates and drainage patterns as the vacant land will be developed with a large industrial building and related hardscape. A final grading plan will be prepared in accordance with City standards and show how storm water runoff will be handled both dudng construction and operation. Approval of grading plans and conditions applied to the project by the City Engineer to ensure adequate site drainage will make this impact less than significant, b) A small portion of the site, consisting of approximately 50 feet of the westernmost site boundary and the drainage channel located west of the site is 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. The remainder of the site is located outside of the lg0-year and 500-year flood zones. The City has adopted standards for flood protection related to minimum building elevations and flood proofing. Drainage .and flood protection facilities will be provided for the project to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 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 because the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (,") ( ) ( ) an existing or projected air quality violation? b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) ( ) cause any change in climate? d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 7 Comments: a) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super- Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During grading, fugitive dust (PM10) will be generated. Any impact to air quality from generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following measures: 1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 2. Hermosa Avenue and 6t~ Street shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3, Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~0 emissions. b) There are no sensitive receptors within ¼ mile of the project site. During construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces may cause NOx and PM~0 levels to exceed daily significant thresholds. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at less than significant levels. 5. 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. 6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 7. 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 is to construct a 640,300 square foot concrete tilt-up industrial building, on 27.75 acres of industrial land and provide adequate parking and landscaping in accordance with the City Development Code. The end use of the proposed project, warehousing and distribution will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

( ) ( ) ( ) (.z') f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') Comments: a) The project site is part of the larger Industrial Specific Plan area. The City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessar,j to support adequate traffic circulation. In addition, the project is required to comply with standard conditions of approval for provision of adequate ingress/egress from the site, employee/visitor parking on-site, and large truck access. Compliance with conditions of approval will ensure that project-related trips are less than significant. b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel with two, 50-foot driveways and two, 35-foot driveways on Hermosa Avenue, and a 35-foot entry on Sixth Street. There is an entry set back designed in all of the driveways to allow for flow through truck traffic and to eliminate the stacking of vehicles into the streets. e-f) According to the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, the Multi-Purpose trail does not cross at any point within the project area and therefore is not impacted. f) Located 3.0 miles north of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (,,') ( ) ( ) eucalyptus windrow, etc.)? c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)? d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) ( ) ( ) (,,') vernal pool)? e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') Comments: a) The site is not within the Ontario Habitat Recovery Unit for the Delhi Sands Flower- Loving Fly (DSFLF) as identified within Figure 6 of the US Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the DSFLF dated September 14, 1997. b-c) The proposed project will be constructed on a total of 27.75 acres of land. Approximately 17 acres of the total site is a vacant, abandoned vineyard. A majodty of the other plants that occur within this vineyard are non-native weedy species. Until recently, the remaining south portion of the site contained two, single-family residences. The structures were demolished in-place in accordance with applicable permits acquired by the owner. Surrounding the residential properties were several mature trees. An Arborist Report prepared for the site by Knapp Associates, indicated that all of the trees were in poor, declining health, with the exception of a Queen Palm proposed for relocation. The report recommended the removal of all trees on site. Appropriate tree removal permits were not acquired but the trees were removed in conjunction with site clearance and demolition of existing buildings. The following measure will mitigate impacts associated with the removal of the trees. 8. Trees removed as a result of site development will be replaced with increased container or trunk diameter size of woody trees as recommended in the Arborist Report. An appropriate landscaping plan must be submitted prior to issuance of grading permit. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) Intermittent industrial development along the west side of Hermosa and the north side of Sixth Street has eliminated any wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.

Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ( ) (,") hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) ( ) (,/) response plan or emergency evacuation plan? c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') health hazard? d) Exposure of people to existing soumes of ( ) ( ) (¢') ( ) potential health hazards? e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (v') brush, grass, or trees? Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 11 Comments: a/c) In November 1999, ATC Associates (ATC) conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the site. During the site visit ATC observed minor amounts of municipal solid waste dumping throughout the site. Waste observed included paper, plastic, tires, and wood debris. No staining was observed in these areas. The report concluded that due to the non-hazardous nature of the material, it is not considered an environmental concern of the site. Subsequently, during demolition and removal of the buildings, the site has been cleared. b) The proposed project will include manually operated metal gates with knox-pad locks at the request of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department. Two, 50-foot driveways and three, 35-foot driveways will provide adequate access for emergency vehicles. Fire hose locations will be approved per Fire Department. d) Observations on the northeast portion of the site included concrete debris and roofing material. Roofing material is considered a potential asbestos containing material. Only sampling and analysis can verify asbestos content. Additionally, properties located on the south portion of the site (physical addressed of 9507 and 9509 Hermosa Avenue) were evaluated in a survey report for potential asbestos- containing materials (ACMs). Materials or structures containing materials that may potentially contain ACMs must be tested and removed prior to demolition under the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 1402. Based on a Asbestos Abatement report prepared by ATC Associates Inc., various materials likely to contain ACMs (wallboard/joint compound, resilient floor tile and exterior stucco) were analyzed and found to contain Iow levels of asbestos (less than 1 percent) by Polarized Light Microscopy. These samples were re-analyzed by the Point Counting Method and found to contain less than 0.1percent asbestos. Materials containing less than 0.1 percent asbestos are non-regulated and do not require removal prior to demolition. The only re§ulated ACM (greater than 0.1 percent asbestos) identified was the roof penetration mastic~ Regulations required the removal of this material prior to demolition. Removal of the ACM was performed on May 5, 2000 by American Environments Control, Inc. Monitoring services were preformed by ATC throughout the abatement phase of the project. Monitoring resufts indicated the contractor's area preparation, engineering controls, worker protection and work practices were all in general conformance with regulatory specifications. A Close Out report and clearance tests (to be performed at the completion of abatement) were completed. Removal of the ACM and demolition of the two onsite structures in accordance with applicable regulations, has eliminated potential exposure to know hazardous materials. Existing sources of potential health hazards have been removed. No additional impacts related to potential exposure of existing sources of hazardous materials have been identified. No mitigation measures are proposed. e) The site is located in an industrial area and is not located in a brush/wildtand fire hazard area.

Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project. Police Protection - The proposed project will be constructed on 27.75 acres of land. The area is relatively small and will not increase the patrol area, as most surrounding properties are developed and currently patrolled. Schools - The proposed project will generate new job opportunities. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has been a housing rich community since incorporation. Development of industrial uses will allow the City to reach a jobs/housing balance by providing jobs for the local population.

Comments: a) The Initial Study did not identify any significant adverse impacts to biological resources. The site is currently an abandoned grape vineyard and does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species and is outside of the Ontario Recovery Unit for the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly. Likewise, the site does not contain cultural or historical resources. b) Grading could cause emissions of criteria pollutants above SCAQMD thresholds. Mitigation measures identified in Section 5 of this Initial Study would reduce these to less than significant. c) Cumulative effects of the 640,300 square foot industrial building may include incremental increases in traffic within the immediate vicinity. However the impacts are not considered significant as the site plan includes set backs to prevent stacking in the street, and the applicant will be required to pay appropriate transportation fees established for development within the Industrial Specific Plan Area. Fees are used to make roadway improvements with the area to keep the circulation system at acceptable levels of service. d) Development of the 640,300 square foot industrial building 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. Observations made by ATC Associates Inc. during a site walk included concrete debris and roofing material included on the northeast portion of the site. Roofing material is considered a potential asbestos containing material. Only sampling and analysis can verify asbestos content. Additionally, properties located on the south portion of the site (physical addresses of 9507 and 9509 Hermosa Avenue) were evaluated in a survey report for potentially containing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Materials or structures containing materials that may potentially contain Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DR 99-77 Page 17 ACMs must be tested and removed prior to demolition under the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 1402. Based on a Asbestos Abatement report prepared by ATC Associates Inc., various materials likely to contain ACMs (wallboard/joint compound, resilient floor tile and exterior stucco) were analyzed and found to contain Iow levels of asbestos (less than I percent) by Polarized Light Microscopy. These samples were re-analyzed by the Point Counting Method and found to contain less than 0.1peroent asbestos. Materials containing less than 0.1 percent asbestos are non-regulated and do not require removal prior to demolition. The only regulated ACM (greater than 0.1 percent asbestos) identified was the roof penetration mastic on one of the structures. Regulations required the removal of this material prior to demolition. Removal of the ACM was performed on May 5, 2000 by American Environments Control, Inc. Monitoring services were preformed by ATC throughout the abatement phase of the project. Monitoring results indicated the contractor's area preparation, engineering controls, worker protection and work practices were all in general conformance with regulatory specifications. A Close Out report and clearance tests (to be performed at the completion of abatement) was completed. Removal of the ACM and demolition of the two onsite structures in accordance with applicable regulations, has eliminated potential exposure to know hazardous materials. Existing sources of potential health hazards have been removed. No additional impacts related to potential exposure of existing sources of hazardous materials have been identified.

',~ DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:40 p.m. Rudy Zeledon April 18, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-77 - CABOT-A request to construct a 561,450 square foot industrial building on 24.28 acres of land in the General Industrial Distdct (Subarea 5) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the southeast comer of Hermosa Avenue and 6th Street-APN: 210-072-14, 25,30, and 37. Design Parameters: The site is surrounded to the north by a multi-tenant industrial center across 6th Street, to the west by vacant land across Hermosa Avenue, to the east by the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel and to the south by vacant land. The site slopes from north to south at approximately 2 percent. There are two existing single family homes on the southern portion of the site. The site contains approximately 13 mature trees. The applicant has submitted an arborist report to assess the condition of the trees and the possibility of preservation. The street frontages along both 6th Street and Hermosa Avenue are unimproved, with no curb, gutter, driveway approaches, sidewalks or street trees. The proposed industrial building will be oriented on a north and south axis. A gated pedestrian connection from the project site to the planned Deer Creek Regional Trail is proposed at the southeast corner of the site. The building incorporates two primary building materials: painted and sandblasted concrete. Secondary design material accents such colored panel reveals bands, and blue reflective glazed glass are also proposed. The office portions of the building will front on to the southeast comer of 6th Street and Hermosa Avenue and at the southwest portion of the site, along Hermosa Avenue. The office elevations feature a well articulated building surface, with vertical and horizontal changes to the building plane, color variation and use of sandblasted concrete with blue reflective colored glass accents. The building plane along north, south, east, and west elevations will feature 3 horizontal panel reveals bands (painted silver shimmer) and a scored reveal design theme between each building panel. In addition, two vertical parapet elements extending above the roof, along the west elevation facing Hermosa Avenue, are proposed to add relief to the long roof line elevation. The loading area of the building will front on to Hermosa Avenue and be screened by an 8-foot screen wall. The screen wall consist of painted tilt-up concrete, with horizontal panel reveals to compliment the architecturally design of the building. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion: Major Issues: The following broad issues will be on the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. The proposed screen wall, along Hermosa Avenue, must meet the building setback of 35 feet, as measured from ultimate face of curb. The building setback requirement also includes a 35-foot setback from curb face at all right turn lanes. The Site Plan shows a wall setback of 32 feet from curb face on Hermosa Avenue and a 20-fret wall setback from curb face at all right turn lanes. Revise plans to comply with the 35-foot building setback code '~l ~ requirement. DRC COMMENTS DR 99-77 - CABOT April 18, 2000 Page 2 2. The screen wall should be 14 feet high on truck side (see attached sketch). Secondar~ Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. All screen gates should be automated to ensure that the gate is open the minimum time necessary to allow trucks in and out of the loading areas. 2. Increase the height of the landscape berming on the right and left sides of both gate entrances, along Hermosa Avenue, in order to reduce the wall height to the allowable 8-foot maximum height. 3. The screen wall along Hermosa Avenue should jog in and out about 2-feet, to compliment the design, of the building and add visual interest to the streetscape. 4. Undulating landscaped berms at an average height of 3 feet (maximum slope not to exceed 31/2:1), along 6th street and Hermosa Avenue should be used in the streetscape areas to provide visual interest in areas exposed to public view. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the .Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the conditions as recommended above. Attachment Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Rudy Zeledon The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to staffls comments. In addition, the Committee made the following comment: 1. The proposed industrial building is parked at a ratio to accommodate warehouse use only. If any portion of the building is to be used for manufacturing, the on-site parking will have to be adjusted to comply with the parking requirement of 1 parking space per 500 square feet for manufacturing use.

DEVELOPMENT CO. - A request to initiate an amendment to allow Public Storage as a permitted use in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 17) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. BACKGROUND: On August 16, 2000, staff received a letter from R.G. Development Company requesting that the Planning Commission consider initiating an amendment to allow Public Storage as a permitted use in Subarea 17 of the Industrial Park District. R.G. Development Company is interested in constructing a mini storage on 2.8 acres of land north of Foothill Boulevard on Center Avenue. The subject property is bordered by industrial buildings to the north, south, and east. Single family homes exist on the west side of Center Avenue. ANALYSIS: The definition of Public Storage activities include mini-warehouse or recreational vehicle storage, and facilities for the rental or lease of small scale, enclosed storage units or parking spaces, primarily to individuals. This is similar to the Light Wholesale, Storage, and Distribution which is a permitted use and allows wholesaling, storage, and warehousing services if the activities are conducted in enclosed buildings and occupy 50,000 square feet or less of building space. The process of approving a Public Storage facility would typically include a caretaker's residence, which requires a Conditional Use Permit. Staff believes that Public Storage is similar to Light Wholesale and Distribution, particularly for a small scale, mini storage development. Staff also concurs with the Development Code, which states that the caretaker's residence shall be approved by a Conditional Use Permit. In the Industrial Section of the Development Code (Section 17.30), Subareas that allow Public Storage as a permitted use are: Subareas 3, 8, and 15. The Subareas, which allow Public Storage as a conditionally permitted use, are: Subareas 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 14. Currently Public Storage is not permitted in Subareas 4, 5, 12, 13,16 and 17 (Industrial Use Matrix, Exhibit "B"). Subarea 17 is designated as Industrial Park, which is the least ITEM K PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTOR'S REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-02 - R. G. DEVELOPMENT CO. September 13, 2000 Page 2 intensive industrial zone. Subarea 17 (Exhibit "D") is unique among the industrial subareas because it includes three separate areas of the City: 1) Along Center Avenue, north of Foothill Boulevard, 2) Along 9th Street, east of Baker, and 3) South of Main Street, east of Archibald Avenue. Therefore, any amendments to Subarea 17 will affect three distinct areas of the community. Public Storage is not allowed in any Industrial Park zone in the city; however, staff believes that it may be appropriate in Subarea 17. This subarea is characterized with smaller infill sites, which are in close proximity to residential areas. The primary function of Subarea 17 is to serve "as a transitional zone from more intensive industrial or commercial activities to residential areas." Public Storage facilities are less intense and have less impact upon surrounding properties than manufacturing uses in terms of traffic, noise, vibration, and odors. Further, Subarea 17 also consists of small and/or narrow parcels that are challenging for industrial building design, yet suited to public storage facilities. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission agree to initiate an amendment pending submittal of a formal application and fees by the applicant. Respectfully submitted, Brad Buller City Planner BB:EVV~Is Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Applicant's letter dated August 16, 2000 Exhibit "B" - Industrial Land Use by Subarea Matrix Exhibit "C" - Location map of proposed use Exhibit "D" - Subarea 17 Map August 16, 2000 City of Rancho Cucamonga Brad Bulier Nancy Fong Planning Commision City Council I would like to request a change to your Industrial Specific Plan for sub-area 17. I would like to know if you would consider adding public storage to your permitted uses. The parcel of land in question is 2.8 acres that is on Center Avenue, just north of Foothill Boulevard. This property is bordered by industrial buildings to the north, south and east. Center Avenue creates a partition to the single family homes on the west. After review of your permitted uses, I believe public storage would have a very minimal adverse affect on the area. I would like to propose a high quality development of public storage, that would compliment the ama. Public storage has a very low traffic count. Noise and pollution levels are very minimal. As with all business transactions, time is of the essence, so any and all feedback as soon as possible, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. ceived R. G.
