J. music, dancing, satellite television, and amusement devises (pool tables, dart boards), in conjunction with a bar and restaurent in the Community Commercial designation (Subarea 3) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 10134 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-601-07. Related file: Conditional Use Permit 97-23. BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission continued the public hearing on this item from the September 13, 2000, meeting. This was to provide the applicant with time to address properly maintenance issues identified by staff and neighbor's complaints. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS AND CODES: A. Neiqhborhood Issues: George Guidere owns the neighboring property to the east. Mr. Guidera complained about trash being thrown over onto his property, irrigation over spray, overgrown weeds on the club's site, and excessive glare from security lighting. The applicant has re-directed the sprinkler heads along the east property line (shared with George Guidere) to sprey water to the west instead of to the east in order to prevent irrigation over spray onto Mr. Guidera's property. The applicant has cleaned their site of weeds and trash. The applicant has contacted Mr. Guidera and asked if it would be okay to enter his property in the ITEMS B & C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP MOD 97-23, EP 00-02 - TWINS SPORTS BAR AND GRILL October 11,2000 Page 2 event customere throw trash over the east fence line. Mr. Guidera told staff that he will not allow the applicant to enter his property for any reason and suggested that the Twins security guards do a better job of patrolling the parking area and not allow patrons to drink outside the bar. The applicant has committed to keeping their site clean and orderly. B Site Inspection: Staff has observed the new westerly-aimed sprinklem and they appear to work. Without a solid wall along the east property line however, it will not be possible to completely eliminate all over-spray to the east due to daily breeze and seasonal high winds. Vines have been planted along the east property line fence that are intended to eventually grow in to provide a visual buffer between the Twins site and Mr. Guidera's property. The vines may also help prevent irrigation over-spray. The site appeare to be much better maintained than previously observed. Some of the dead and missing landscaping has been replaced and irrigated. The trash enclosure is in clean and tidy order and the roll up door has been fixed so that it can be closed. The security lights have been re-aimed to avoid casting glare on the neighboring residence. Trash, debris, and broken glass have been cleaned from the parking area. Staff noted that approximately 13 trees have died and 3 are missing. Also, several shrubs have apparently died. The applicant told staff that the dead and missing trees and shrubs will be replanted prior to the Planning Commission meeting and that all the plants will be hand watered until they are in a thriving condition. Staff will re-inspect the site prior to the meeting to verify completion of this task and present the findings at the meeting. C. Law Enforcement: The Police Department has provided a pdntout of calls for service for the site address from February through September 2000. The list includes one "assault with a deadly weapon" (Exhibit "C"). D. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control: The establishment was granted a license to serve alcohol in August of 1999. The Department placed a number of conditions on the license similar to those imposed by the City given the proximity of residences to the establishment (graffiti removal, no loud entertainment, maintain site free of litter, etc). One complaint was filed in March of this year and it is currently not resolved. The Department issued a warning for another issue in July of this year and that matter has been resolved. The Department cannot disclose the nature of either the outstanding complaint or the warning that was issued. HOURS OF OPERATION: The applicant would like to increase houre 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. Pending successful replanting of dead and missing plants and trees prior to the Planning Commission meeting, staff believes the applicant has demonstrated their ability to satisfactorily maintain the site. In light of this and the recommended conditions of approval, staff sees ne reason not to allow the increased hours of operation. The applicant believes that the longer houre will increase business, which would increase revenue that could be used for better property maintenance. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP MOD 97-23, EP 00-02 -TWINS SPORTS BAR AND GRILL October 11,2000 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION: Pending successful replanting of dead and missing plants and trees pdor to the Planning Commission meeting, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit 97-23 Modification and Entertainment Permit 00-02 through adoption of the attached resolutions of approval.

ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 00-02 - LAKEES {TWINS SPORTS BAR AND GRILL) - A request to increase hours of operation for entertainment including, but not limited to, D. J. music, dancing, satellite television, and amusement devises (pool tables, dart boards), in conjunction with a bar and restaurant in the Community Commercial designation (Subarea 3) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 10134 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-601-07. 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 CODES: A. Neiqhborhood Issues: 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. Guidere complained about trash being thrown over the Twins Club's easterly fence line onto his property, irrigation overspray, overgrown weeds on 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. Guidera (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.

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 "F"). VVith the establishment of the use, the applicant is proposing to bring the site up to current Code requdements. 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 ddveway 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 - TVVINS SPORTS BAR December 10, 1997 Page 3 B. Neiahborhood Compatibility: 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. Parkina 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, Secudtv Plan: The applicant proposes to have security 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 Ooeration: 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. Thes~ 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, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-23 & EP 97-02 - TVVINS SPORTS BAR December 10, 1997 Page 4 G. ~: 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 cells (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 crime 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 distdct 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. Entertainmen Permi: 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. That the applicant, or any other person associated with him as principal or partner in a position or capacity involving partial or total control over the conduct of the business for which such permit is sought to be issued, has not been convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction or any offense involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of any obscene show of an kind or of a felony or any crime involving the moral turpitude, nor has any approval, permit, license issued in conjunctions with the sale of alcohol or the provision of entertainment been revoked within the preceding five years. 5. That the normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the peace and quiet of the surrounding residential and commercial uses. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-23 & EP 97-02 - TVVINS SPORTS BAR December 10, 1997 Page 5 6. That the applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement of material fact in the required application. In reviewing the finding for both the Conditional Use Permit and the Entertainment Permit, staff believes that the potential incompatibility between the proposed use and the adjoining uses can be addressed through the improvements and procedures proposed by the applicant and the conditions of approval contained in the resolutions for both the Conditional Use Permit and the Entertainment Permit applications. 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.

Any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of .material fact in the required application shall be grounds for denial of the application for an entertainment 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 21 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 dart 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 bar 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.

Twins' entrance security, inside security, and parking lot security will use Hfr (Hand Transmitter 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 aH shrubs and furnish a clear walk way on the east of the building. In addition, them were suggestions of a wrought iron fence on the Southeast corner of the building facing Foothill. We agree this will add to additional security efforts and therefore we will build it.

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 comer and would then have to move the fencing. He said the comer 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 Unicom and Band Box. He said he will be assisting in running the bar and gdll. 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/Hen'nosa 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. Planning Commission Minutes -6- December 10, 1997 Mr. Buquet indicated whet chain 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 will 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 concemed about headlights shining onto residential properties to the nodh. 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. Buller 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. December 10, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes -7- ,g.-c $o Commissioner McNiel state as a matter of policy, the 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 right 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. Buller 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 Entertainment 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.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca91729 City ~'~ C~ancho Cucamong Division Dear Mr. Buller I was recently informed that the Twins Sport Bar located, at 10134 Foothill Blvd. has applied or is applying for change in their CUP permits 9%23. I am the property owner to the west of the bar. I oppose any changes at this time_ I1~ 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 openthe bar again.. At that time I_ submitted a letter to Breat in the planning dept. In that letter I addressed aH of my concerns. Which were at the time. Cross lot drainage, Block wall along the west property li~ Trash, Grading andDrainage/,and~eapin$. I ighting issues, Hours of operation. Please note that I did not oppose the bar opening again. THE REASONS AREAS FOLLOWS We {my brother and I} have lived on that property way before Cucamonga became a City. During that time whea the building, was built, it was called the CLUB 66_ We bari 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- fxom the store and hote~wolllCl blow into our property. Because they do not have trash enclosures for the store or hotel and that they only have onetra~h bi~xfor hothhasiness- [qo trash-encloses at either bu.~iness. Trash is only picked up once a week! Also note that the new trash enclosure was installed in a different location than what was de~i,gned. When it would rain and flood on foothill. Water would backup and cut across the properties and flood om:vineyards, blow that the stormdrain is being installed. We shouldn't have that problem. But the reasons for the block wall is still the same. Keep the water fi:omthe sprinklem from spraying 1_0' into our property and causing nmre weeds to grow. Which meansmore maintance on our part. The. sprinklers should be alongthe east property line and spraying to the west into the parking lot. Please read CUP-97-23 page item E-9. Drainage, from_the parking Itt would not ocllur oll to our property. Lighting: Larger and brighter light fixtures have been installed, That were not on the original permit. Now we can_pick strawherrle~ at night and watckthe2~get ri~e~ I have people that live in the home on the property. They have called me to complain about how bright the lights are. lfthi~ CU~. Was permitted and submitted Weren't th~ parking lot lights engineered and designed? So I ask you. Does longer business hours mean more trash and lxighter lights? Allofthese problems that Ihave addressed_ Startedbackin 1997_ During construction I inquired again to the Building inspectors. Before the final or certification of occupancy I walked_the project willlbuildlng in?ector JackBrown_ After. the final ][addressed the same issues to Bill Makshanof~ What happens is that I usually get told to call code enforcement. Alady their [Sue] toldme thatit's acivi[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 ResollltiOll I~10 97-67 item t~ [3 pleas:ere~ad Because ifa security person was on site. There would be no drinking in the parking lot. That is a ABC law.

RESPECTFULLY, JIM DIAZ THE CITY OF I~AN CllO CUCAHONGA Staff Report DATE: October 11,2000 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 97-38 MODIFICATION - CLUB MATRIXX- A request to expand the hours of operation for a nightclub and restaurant within the Thomas Winery Plaza, in the Specialty Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located at 8916 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 208-101-23. (Continued from September 27, 2000) ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 97-04 MODIFICATION - CLUB MATRIXX-A request to modify the conditions of approval regarding hours of operation, entertainment uses, and ages of patrons for a nightclub and restaurant within the Thomas Winery Plaza, located at 8916 Foothill Boulevard- APN~ 208-101-23. (Continued from September 27, 2000) BACKGROUND: In December 1997, the applicant, Mr. Ron Bozarth, received approval to have a nightclub with full bar service, limited food service, dancing, and entertainment. At that time, the club was known as Desperado and geared toward country western music. Now it is known as Club Matrixx and offers a variety of music. The club has been offering entertainment that was beyond their approval, and allowing patrons under the age of 21; therefore, staff directed the applicant to request a modification to the Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit. The above applications were to be heard on September 27, 2000, but were continued to this meeting at the request of staff with agreement from the applicant. The reason for the continuance was to allow time for the applicant, police, and staff to meet and resolve public safety and security issues. ANALYSIS: A. Approved Use and Entertainment: Club Matrixx was approved to have full bar service and entertainment between 4 p.m. and 2 a.m., Tuesdaythrough Saturday, and 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Sunday. The types of approved entertainment include disc jockeys, dancing and dance lessons, and live bands. A condition of approval requires that patrons must be 21 years of age or older when the bar is opened and dudng entertainment. Resolutions of Approval for the two permits detailing the conditions of approval are attached as Exhibit "E." ITEMS D & E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-38 AND EP 97-04 - CLUB MATRIXX October 11,2000 Page 2 B. Proposed Chanqes: The applicant would like to modify the two permits as shown in Exhibit "B" and as summarized below: 1. Expand the types of entertainment to include karaoke, dance contests, hard body contests, hot legs contests, costume contests, and other contests that might be in fashion. 2. Expand the hours of operation and entertainment to 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. 3. Modify the attire for security personnel by eliminating the word "security" back and front of their secudty shirts. 4. Allow patrons 18 and over to be in the nightclub during entertainment. The applicant proposes to use wrist or armbands to identify those patrons under 21 so that they are not served alcohol. The applicant also proposes to add four more security people on the premises. 5. In addition to the above, the applicant has indicated to staff that he would like to modify' the condition of approval allowing occasional concerts subject to City Planner approval of a special security and safety plan to include a special "teen night" for age groups between 13 to 17 years of age without the serving of alcohol. C. Compatibility of Use and Public Safety Concerns: In reviewing any proposed nightclub with entertainment, a major concern is to determine whether the use would impact the surrounding properties and tenants within the commercial center. Another major concern is public safety and the impacts to Police and Fire resources. Between the years of 1997 and prior to the applicant's proposed changes, staff has not received any complaints. Since then, staff has received police responses that showed a significant impact to their resources and safety concerns raised by neighboring tenants and other businesses close by. They are summarized below: 1. Summary of Preblems: This year there were a total of 20 calls for services made to the Police Department. These calls ranged in sevedty from vehicle burglaries, bomb threats, and vehicles being shot at with firearms to nuisance problems such as fights, vandalism, juveniles loitering in the area, and public drunkenness. 2. Police Response and Recommendation: Police stated that the increase in calls is adversely impacting their resources. The concerns of the police were brought to the attention of the applicant, who expressed a willingness to meet with staff and police representatives to discuss public safety issues and come up with programs or plans to address them. Police representatives and staff met with the applicant, his manager, and head security personnel on September 26, 2000. In the meeting, the police stated to the applicant that the secudty inside the premises is better than outside. The police recommended that the applicant increase the number of security personnel outside to two, with one monitoring the south parking lot and the other monitoring the north parking lot. The Police Department also made suggestions regarding when security personnel need to be more aggressive in deterring groups from loitering in the area and when to call police for services. The applicant agreed with the suggestions of the police. However, the police voiced concerns with allowing the types of entertainment such as PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-38 AND EP 97-04 -CLUB MATRIXX October 11,2000 Page 3 "contests that are in fashion from time to time," the business staying open after 2 a.m., and patrons under 21 yearn of age in the premises. The police stated that historically businesses that allow after-hours activity with under-age patrons have a high incidence of disturbances and vandalism, and a wide variety of other problems. The police also mentioned to the applicant that the City has a curfew of 10 p.m. for minors. The attached Exhibit "C" shows the recommendations from Police Captain Rod Hoops. 3. Concerns from Neiqhborinq Businesses: In response to the public headng notice, staff received four letters from tenants in Thomas Winery Plaza (Exhibit "D") and three phone calls including two tenants, Amy's Gardens and Souplantation, in the center, and one from the owner of the Mobil gas station at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. 'The letters and phone calls centered on concerns with increased robberies, break-ins, thefts, noise, vandalism, and juveniles loitering in the area and intimidating their patrons. 4. Similar Entertainment Use in the Center: There are three other businesses in Thomas Winery Plaza that have various entertainment uses approved. Koffee Klatch located in between Club Matrixx and The Wild Grape offers entertainment in the form of guitarists to live bands and they may play at the north side of the building within their open patio area. The hours of entertainment are between 7:30 p.m. to I a.m. Monday through Friday, 12 noon to 1 a.m., Saturday and Sunday. At the northeast side of the center is Zendejas restaurant, which has a full bar service and entertainment in the form of jazz or other live bands without dancing. The hours of entertainment are 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Thursday through Saturday. Both Zendejas and Koffee Klatch did not have to provide security personnel because they do not have dance floors, which is the requirement from the Entertainment Ordinance. At the northwest side of the center is Cue and View, a billiard parlor. Although there is no entertainment, their business is opened until I to 2 a.m. Cue and View is required to have a security person patrolling outside the premises and the parking area in their vicinity. These businesses, with their entertainment and nature of operation, could have contributed some of the nuisance problems. However, the police have stated that the majority of nuisance problems such as juvenile loitering and fights, are directly or indirectly related to Club Matdxx. C. Code Compliance: The Fire Department reviewed the proposed request and found a record of one complaint regarding overcrowding inside the premises last August. The Fire Department recommends a condition of approval requiring an inspection of fire exiting clearance. Staff contacted a representative of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), who reported that they have not received any complaints about the business nor it has been cited for serving alcohol to minors. D. Conclusion: Based on the above facts and analysis, staff concluded that the operation of Club Matrixx has impacted police resources and negatively affected neighboring businesses. Staff believes that in light of the safety concerns brought up by the police, the City should review expanded entertainment requests carefully so as not to further impact the police resource or the neighboring businesses. There is a need to examine the conditions of approval to see if additional mitigation is needed to address the safety issues so that Club Matrixx could be a good neighbor. The following are staff comments and recommendation to the applicant's proposals: PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-38 AND EP 97-04 - CLUB MATRIXX October 11,2000 Page 4 1. Expand the types of entertainment to include karaoke, dance contests, hard body contests, hot legs contests, costume contests, and other contests that might be in fashion. Staff Recommendation: Staff concurs with police recommendation that the types of contests need to be specific. Staff and police believe that there is a correlation to certain types of entertainment attracting certain groups of patrons that could increase the need for police resources. Staff does not recommend approving "hard body contests," "Hot Legs Contest," or "other contests that might be in fashion." Staff could recommend approval of karaoke, dance contests, singing contests, and costume and fashion contests excluding intimate apparel for men and women. 2. Expand the hours of operation and entertainment to 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Staff Recommendation: By State law, the bar has to stop selling alcohol at 2 a.m. On one hand, being open later with the serving of food, would afford the patrons time to sober up before leaving the premises. On the other hand, it does not stop the patrons from ordering multiple drinks at the "last call." Staff concurs with police recommendation that the hours of operation and entertainment be maintained at 2 a.m. 3. Modify the attire for security personnel, by eliminating the word "security" back and front of their secudty shirts. Staff recommendation: Staff believes that the uniform for secudty personnel inside the promises can be flexible. However, the secudty personnel outside the promises need an identifiable and distinctive uniform. Staff does not object to using the style of polo shirts with display of secudty patches instead of the word "security" displayed on the front and back of the shirt. In addition, staff rocommends that the condition of approval be modified to increase the number of security personnel outside the premises to two on weekdays and three on weekends. One should monitor the south parking lot and a second should monitor the north parking lot. On weekends, Fdday and Saturday, the third security person should monitor the entiro Thomas Winery Plaza complex. 4. Allow patrons 18 and over to be in the nightclub during entertainment. The applicant proposes to use wrist or armbands to identify those patrons under 21 so that they are not served alcohol. The applicant also proposes to add four more security people on the promises. Staff recommendation: All Entertainment Permits approved by the City include the condition that patrons have to be 21 and over. Allowing 18 years of age or over to be in the nightclub when the bar is opened and entertainment is on would set a precedent for all bars, restaurants, and nightclubs in the City. As stated by the police previously, businesses that allow after-hours activity with under-age patrons have a high incidence of disturbances and vandalism and a wide variety of other problems, which would then impact police rosources. Therefore, staff does not recommend approval of this proposed change. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-38 AND EP 97-04 - CLUB MATRIXX October 11,2000 Page 5 5. In addition to the above, the applicant has indicated to staff that he would like to modify the condition of approval allowing occasional concerts subject to City Planner approval of a special security and safety plan to include a special "teen night" for age groups between 13 to 17 years of age without the serving of alcohol. Staff recommendation: The applicant stated that the above proposal is to provide a safe venue for teens to have fun. He would only propose "teen night" as a special event and not as regularly offered entertainment. The applicant proposes to allow the age group between 13 and 17 and that the club will only serve non-alcoholic beverages. The applicant would also propose a special security and safety plan for those special events subject to Police Department and City Planner review and approval. Staff believes that if the element of alcohol is removed, the older age group (18 and over) is prohibited, it may be permissible with a heavy security plan. Staff recommends a 90-day trial period for such special events. Staff would like to emphasize that the conditions of approval or mitigation measures are not intended to be ovedy restrictive to affect the business. Rather, the City has an obligation to find the balance of having the police resources available to the entire City, businesses being good neighbors, and allowing different venues of entertainment for different age groups. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Commission must make all of the following findings to approve the modifications to the two applications: A. Conditional Use Permit: 1. 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. 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. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. B. Entertainment Permit: 1. The conduct of the establishment or the granting of the application would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals or welfare. 2. The premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an illegal, improper, or disorderly manner. 3. The applicant, or any person associated with him as principal or partner or in a position, or capacity involving partial or total control over the conduct of the business for which such permit is sought to be issued, has not been convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction of any offenses involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of any obscene show of any kind or of a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude or has PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 97-38 AND EP 97-04 - CLUB MATRIXX October 11,2000 Page 6 not had any approval, permit, or license issued in conjunction with the sales of alcohol or the provision of entertainment been revoked within the preceding five years. 4. The granting of the application would not create a public nuisance. 5. The normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the peace and quiet of any surrounding residential neighborhoods. 6. The applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement of material fact in the required application. 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 and the tenants in Thomas Winery Plaza. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission conduct a public hearing to review the proposal, take pubic input, and if the Commission concurs with staff recommendations, then approve the modification to Conditional Use Permit and Entertainment Permit through the adoption of the attached resolutions.

(3) D-,E I1 INTEROFFICE MEMO DATE September 26, 2000 PHONE 47-2880 FROM Rod Hoops, Captain Rancho Cucamonga TO Nancy Fong City Planning SUBJECT Club Matrixx In regard to the meeting with the ownership of the Club Matrixx and the'discussion that took place on their application for a New Entertainment Permit, the following are the Police Departments recommendations: · Eliminate the request to allow "contests that are in fashion from time to time", or change the verbiage to be more specific in the type of contests that will take place. (This should exclude any type of "adult" entertainment). · Disallow the practice of staying open after 2:00am, except on specific occasions which will be approved by the City Planning/Police Department prior to the date in question. · Review the security on premises, increasing the outside number of guards to a minimum of two (2) on Friday and Saturday nights until at least 2:30am, with an emphasis on active parking lot patrol. · Restrict the permit to allow patrons of (21) years or older for the purpose of entertainment in the areas of the establishment that primarily serve alcohol. Please contact my office if you have any questions regarding the recommendations. INTEROFFICE MEMO DATE September 5, 2000 ~ FROM Rod Hoops, Captain Rancho Cucamonga ~ TO NancyFong ~//' ~~!\ City Planning SUBJECT Club Matrixx The ownership of the Club Matrixx has made application to amend their original Entertainment Permit. Prior to approving their request for the proposed changes, please note the concerns we have as the responding law enforcement agency. They are requesting an amendment to the permit, which would allow the following: · Karaoke, Dance Contests, Hard Body Contests, Hot Legs Contests, Costume Contests, and" Other Contests" that might be "in fashion" Extend hours of operation until 4:00 am on Friday's and Saturday's. · Change the appearance and the requirements of their on-site security personnel. · Significant changes to allow under age patrons on the premises during times when alcoholic beverages are being purchased and consumed. (Please refer to the attached application for the New Entertainment Permit for specifics on the above changes). It appears that with the current entertainment allowed the Matrixx Bar is utilizing an inappropriate amount of police resources. The Police Department has responded to (12) calls for service over the last two- (2) months alone. These calls range in severity fi.om vehicle burglaries to bomb threats and vehicles being shot at with firearms. If the new permit is approved it would be much more lenient then the current permit, mixing under age patrons with alcoholic beverages. Historically businesses that allow after hour's activity with under age patrons have ahigh incidence of disturbances, vandalism, and a wide variety of other problems. I feel that the Matrixx Bar should adhere to the same standards set forth by the city for all businesses of this nature. It is my opinion in regard to changes in the hours of operation, type of activities allowed, and the age of the patrons, that the city not approve the new Entertainment Permit in it's current configuration. We would be more than willing to meet with the planning department and the owner of the Matrixx to voice our concerns, and to work on possible solutions to the current and future operation of this establishment. · ..

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 Dear Sir or Madam, 1 would like to respond to the permit modifications requested by Club Matrix. As a neighboring business, I have concerns regarding increased noise level and 9ustomer safety. We conduct evening classes Monday - Friday. Once Club Matrix begins their music, our teachers cannot conduct class. We have put up with this for months. In the interest of being fair-minded we have tolerated the noise level because it has been near the end of our classes. The classes are normally over at 9:30 PMk. However, if music begins earlier we will be unabl~ to teach, because the students cannot hear what the teacher is trying to explain. Many of our students have complained about young adults from Club Matrix sitting on our customers ears and otherwise intimidating them. This tends to be more problematic on Thursday night when the Club Matrix crowd is younger. The younger club goers seem to grofip together which tends to threaten our primarily female customers. We want some fodi~al assurance that opening the doors of a nightclub to a teenage crowd will not exacerbate the loitering, littering and vandalism problems that we currently experience due to Club Matrix. Thank you for considering these concerns.

There have been a number of break-ins, robberies, and thefts i~n the center in the past f~w months. So far, to my kno~o emus in the center have been harmed. While this is welcomed information, the number of incidents is alarming. I am not sure if the presence of the Matrix contributes to these attacks. I am aware of employees being locked in bathrooms at the Postal Plaza, the florist being robbed, the Hair Secrets Salon robbed at closing, the window at the liquor store being broken and the store robbed, and thieves walking out through the back of Zendejas with bottles of liquor. The attacks have occurred at. different times of day, from early moming hours to late in the day. If the Matrix's proposal for extended hours is accepted, I am concerned for the well being of my business and employees. Extended hours would mean more people in the Thomas Winery Plaza while the majority of business are closed, and therefore at risk. I would lik~ to ~ee a. more aggressive policing of this area in that case, either by the city or by the owners of the Plaza. My employees and I have not been subject to this vandalism to date, and I want to keep it this way. Sincerely, Richard Townsend ' · " President, Uniglobe Plaza Travel ' ' FASTFRAME #213 8956 Foothill Blvd., Suite 0-2 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Tel (909) 466-9151 Fax (909) 466-4237 September 23, 2000 Nancy Fong planning Commission City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Allow me to comment on the permit modifications submitted by Club Matrix_ We are long time tenants at the Thomas Winery Plaza, nearly 10 years and I am a founding member of the tenants' association. I'm confident that before you make a final decision On their request you will consult with the Sheriff's Department. They know what is occurring in and around the Club Matrix during their present hours of operation. People are wandering all over and the later it gets the worse it gets. Just drop by after 10:30 P.M. and witness for yourselves, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays. There is also a considerable amount of c~minal activiw/n_our ,~enter. We SUSpect that some of the perpetrators are.Matrix customers, who use their time in the area to .... target the individual stores, particularly the ones that deal with cash. The situation is compounded by the presence of numerous young people, loitering around the south side of the center and intimidating our female owners and employees. This is during the day; we certainly don't need them during the night at Club Matrix, as I believe they are proposing. We have shared our concerns with the center manager and the Sheriff's Depa~h,ent. Even if you disapprove the two modifications requested by the Club Matrix, and I trust you will, please advise them that their operation will be under close observation by the city authorities with a zero tolerance policy enforced. Respectfully, ,o/,,/o September 30, 2000 Nancy Fong Planning Commission City Of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 'Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, Ca 91730 Dear Nancy, I would like to express a negative decision be made on the Club Maatrix Conditional Use Permit. This additional traffic in our small center has created a graffiti problem, a trash problem, and a very abusive customer relations problem. The element this club brings in to our center has kept many customers away. If this continues we will be forced to change locations. The .dfrican-~lmerican teena~j~rs are very disrespectful to our patrons and the speed zone they completely ignore. Bottles, cans and trash are left all through the parking lot and it brings our center a very undesirable atmosphere. I have been in this location for 11 years and thispast 8 months have been the biggest crime wave we have ever had. I'm sure the amounts of police response calls can verify this.

Coury, Associate Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-09 - PATIEL - The development of a 10,944 square foot chumh with a religious education school on 2.86 acres in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at 9212 Base Line Road - APN: 202-242-09. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoninq: North - Single Family Residential, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Neighborhood Commercial East Single Family Residential, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West Single family Residential, Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) B. General Plan Desi.qnations: North Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) South - Neighborhood Commercial East Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) West Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) C. Site Characteristics: The site is located on the north side of Base Line Road, approximately 330 feet west of Hellman Avenue. The site is generally flat with less than 5 percent slope north to south. The lot is currently occupied by a vacant single-family dwelling at the (front) southwest corner of the site. The remainder of the site is undeveloped with native trees and grasses present. Single-family dwellings surround the property on the north, east and west. Properly immediately south of the site is developed with a retail commercial shopping center. Access to the site will be through an existing drive approach on Base Line Road (Exhibit "B"). ITEM F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 00-09 - PATIEL OCTOBER 11, 2000 Page 2 ANALYSIS: A. General: The project will consist of a 10,944 square foot church building with an office area, classrooms, and a prayer room. Finish materials for the building exterior include archway treatments to create horizontal and vertical visual interest, White/almond stucco finish, and tile roofs. The proposed windows will be arched and treated with mullions. The overall building height is proposed at 27 feet. Two minarets, 30 feet in height, mark the front entrance. The columns will be tiered and stucco finished with concrete caps (Exhibit "C"). · The applicant proposes to develop the property in three Phases. The first Phase will consist of tenant improvements to the existing single-family dwelling to be converted to a worship/education facility. In addition, the front parking lot and driveway approach will be constructed as part of Phase one. Phase two will include the development of the main prayer hall building and a majority of the central parking lot area. Construction time for Phase two is estimated at approximately 2 years. Phase three of the proposed project will include the construction of the office and classroom portions of the building, the remaining parking lot area, and completion of the proposed landscaping. The time completion for this phase is estimated at another 2 years (4 years from project approval). Since no elevations were submitted for Phase two, staff recommends the design be subject to Design Review Committee review, prior to issuance of building permits. The elevation should not have a blank, unfinished appearance. B. Desi.qn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the project at their September 19, (Exhibit "H") and October 3, 2000; meetings (October 30 minutes were not available at the time of preparation of this report). At the October 3 meeting, the Committee recommended approval of the project provided the applicant screen the proposed facility by adding landscaping at the north end of the property to reduce the visual impact on the surrounding neighbors. The Committee also asked that the applicant modify the front area site design to allow for a more expandable -use of the front building area, as well as incorporate additional landscaping (Exhibit "F"). Lastly, the Committee directed the applicant to enhance the architecture of the north building elevation (such as window treatments or arched insets) to provide additional relief to the proposed wall. C. Technical and Gradinq Committees: The Technical and Grading Committees reviewed the project and recommended approval with conditions. D. Neiqhborhood Meetin.q: A neighborhood meeting was held on July 12, 2000. Fourteen people attended the meeting, which included property owners from the surrounding residences to the north, east, and west of the subject site. The residents asked general questions regarding access and increased traffic impacts to the site, operations of the proposed facility, construction and development, and the architectural design of the building. The residents expressed concerns regarding the potential impacts of the development. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 00-09 - PATIEL OCTOBER 11, 2000 Page 3 E.

( ) ( ) ( ) (v') i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (/) Comments: a-c) No known faults pass through the site. It is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 1/2 mile southeast of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. In addition, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is .9 miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 12.5 miles northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are relatively stable but subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively shallow. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant. d) The site is not located near a body of water. e) The site is relatively fiat, so landsliding or mudflows are not likely to occur. f) The site is relatively flat, so grading in preparation of the building pad will be minimal. Grading will create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage. g-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Ramona-Arlington (Rc-AD/CD-2). The Building and Safety Division, prior to issuance of building permits, will require a soils report for compaction and foundation requirements. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

Will the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, (,/) ( ) or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? b) Exposure of people or property to water related (V') hazards such as flooding? c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration (v') of surface water quality (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)? d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any (,/') water body? e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction (,/) of water movements? f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either (,/) through direct additions or withdrawals, or through intemeption of an aquifer by cuts or excavations, or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? (/) h) Impacts to groundwater quality? (,/) i) Substantial reduction in the amount of (,/) groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? Comments: a) The project is expected to result in changes in absorption rates and drainage patterns. A final grading plan will show how stormwater runoff will be handled both during 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) The site is not located within the lO0-year flood plain. c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant will provide a grading plan 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. The site is not used for groundwater recharge. Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga CUP 00-09 Islamic Center of Inland Empire, Inc.

( ) ( ) ( ) (/) 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, thero is the possibi!ity of fugitive dust to be emitted from grading the site. Dust emissions could be sufficient to warrant the use of water at this site as a standard condition of approval for grading and earth-disturbing activities. c-d) The proposed project is to construct a chumh building of 10,944 square feet. The end use will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors. Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potaltially Unless Tha~ 6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION.

Compliance with conditions of approval will ensure that project-related trips are less than significant. Traffic associated with a church use is anticipated to occur at non peak-hour commute times. The church use will generate traffic primarily in the evenings and on weekends. b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel with a proposed entry driveway on Base Line Road. On-site parking is proposed south of the church building. The building will be accessible to emergency vehicles. e-f) The proposed building will be set back from the street and will not pose a hazard or barrier to pedestrians or cyclists. g) The site is located over 6 miles from the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ( ) ( ) (v') potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ( ) ( ) (V') to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ( ) ( ) (7) 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.)

Page 13 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Poh~tiallyUnits Than 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 proposed is a church expansion. The site is currently occupied with a vacant single-family dwelling. The church building will be developed within a portion of the site that is undeveloped with native grasses present. No endangered or sensitive species or habitats will be affected by this project. b) Because of the relatively small size of the building site area, slightly less than 3 acres, and the type of use proposed, no short-term impacts were identified. c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. The site is within a Low Residential area which allows chumhes through approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The initial study did not identify any impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's standard conditions of approval. d) The proposed chumh development on a 2.86 acre site would not cause substantial adveme effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located in a residential area near the corner of Base Line Road and Hellman Avenue. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

Project File No.: Conditional Use Permit 00-09 Public Review Period Closes: October 11,2000 Project Name: Project Applicant: Islamic Center of Inland Empire, Inc. Project Location (also see attached map): Located at 9212 Base Une Road -APN: 202-242-09. Project Description: The development of a 10,944 square foot church with a religious education school on 2.86 acres in the Low Residential Distdct (2-4 dwelling units per acre). FINDING This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding: [] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. [] The Initial Study identified potentially signiticant effects but: (1) Revisions in the. project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and (2) Them is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. If adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental impact Report will not be required. Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Divisioe at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847. NOTICE The public is invited to comment on the proposed Negative Declaration during the review period. October 11. 2000 Date of Determination Adopted By DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:10 p.m. Kirt Coury September 19, 2000 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-09 - PATIEL - A request to construct a new 10,944 square foot Church with religious education school on 2.88 acres in the Low Re~idential District, located on the north side of Base Line Road between Lion Street and Hellman Avenue - APN: 202-242-09. Desiqn Parametem: The site is located on the north side of Base Line Road, approximately 330 feet west of Hellman Avenue. The site is generally flat with less than 5 percent slope north to south. The lot is currently occupied by a vacant single-family dwelling at the (front) southwest corner of the site. The remainder of the site is undeveloped with native trees and grasses present. Single-family dwellings surround the property on the north, east, and west. Also to the east is an existing church. Property immediately south of the site is developed with a retail commercial shopping center. Access to the site will be through an existing drive approach on Base Line Road. The project will consist of a 10,944 square foot church building with an office area, classrooms, and a prayer room. The building will be built on the 2.86 acres of land. The building will be self sufficient with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish materials for the building exterior include archway treatments to create horizontal and vertical visual interest, reddish/brown split-face block, and a tile roof. The proposed windows will be arched and treated with mullions. The overall building height is proposed at 21 feet. The applicant proposes to develop the property in three phases. The first phase will consist of tenant, improvements to the existing single-family dwelling to be converted to a worship/education facility. In addition, the front parking and driveway approach will be constructed as part of Phase one. Phase two will include the development of the main prayer hall building and a majodty of the central parking lot area. Construction time for Phase two is estimated at approximately 2 years. Phase three of the proposed project will include the construction of the office and classroom portions of the building, the remaining parking lot area, and completion of the proposed landscaping. The time completion for this Phase is estimated at another 2 years (4 years from project approval). Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The primary design issue is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Development Code states that "Materials, colors, scale, and prominence of buildings in adjacent land uses can be coordinated so there is a gradual transition from one land use to the another rather than a sharp and displeasing contrast. Purely aesthetic details that are "tacked" onto a building to cover up land use conflicts; however, will cause more harm than good. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roof line." The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. Building Style/Form - Revise building style/form to a more residential character. The Prayer Hall, as a 2-story building, will be the most visually prominent structure and is located at the rear of the properbj surrounded by single-family homes. Introduce a combination of hip and gable roof forms and eliminate flat parapet lines. The long flat parapet wall along the north elevation is not consistent with the adjoining single-family homes. DRC COMMENTS CUP 00-09 - PATIEL September 19, 2000 Page 2. 2. Building Size - Staff believes that the size of the proposed 2-story Prayer Hall, which stands _ 21 feet high and has a footprint of 48 feet by 72 feet, is compatible with the area despite a larger mass than the small single family residences in the area. The Site Plan orientation place~ the Prayer Hall at the rear of the property with generous setbacks of 40 feet, 45 feet, and 80 feet from the east, north and west property lines. 3. Color- Change building color to a light shade rather than brown. The existing house of the subject site, the church to the east and the shopping center across Base Line Road all feature white stucco. 4. Material - The proposed split face block material is not compatible because there are no other split face block buildings in the immediate area. Change primary exterior wall material to stucco consistent with the area. 5. Roof Line - Change mansard roof line to a combination of hip and gable roofs. The neighborhood consists primarily of structures built prior to incorporation, including single- family homes, a chumh, and the Lions Park Community Center East (former County library). Although there is a mix of amhitectural styles and materials, it is significant to note that there are no other mansard roofs in the area. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Provide more trees and decorative landscaping in northern portion of property encimling the "proposed building to help screen visual impact of building on surrounding neighbors. 2. Incorporate angled parking with a landscape planter for parking spaces 19-50 as was done for parking spaces 51-72. 3. Relocate trash enclosure further away from southeast comer of building. The proposed Site Plan creates an undesirable continuation of asphalt paving right up to this comer of building. Suggest moving over to the west side of site to be more convenient to the kitchen and auditorium/dining hall. 4. Continue walkway from east side of building to the front side to provide pedestrian access for east parking lot area. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project subject to the modifications as recommended above. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Rich Macias, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Kirt Coury The Committee recommended the applicant redesign the project according to staff's identified "major" and "secondary" issues. The Committee expressed great concern relating to the site design, and the architectural compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood. It was recommended that the applicant work with staff regarding the mentioned issues, and that the item be brought back at a later date for Design Review Committee review. RESOLUTION NO.

SC-8-00 10 THE CITY OF I~AN C tl 0 CUCAMONGA S'o. ff Report DATE: October 11, 2000 TO:. Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Alan Warren, AICP, Associate Planner SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY REVIEW 00-12 - ETIWANDA SCHOOL DISTRICT - A review of the proposed site acquisition of an additional 2.12 acres of land for an elementary school site, for a total of 12.12 acres, located in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (ESP) on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, at Craig Drive, north of Base Line Road - APN: 227-131-20. ABSTRACT.: Under State law, the Office of the State Amhitect has the authority to review and approve school facilities. In order "to promote the safety of pupils and comprehensive community planning," the school district is required to solicit a written report from the Planning Commission prior to acquiring the land. The Planning Commission is required to investigate the site and detail its recommendations, in writing, to the school district. BACKGROUND: On July 12, 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed a 10-acre elementary school plan proposed for the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the Southern Pacific railroad right-of-way. At that meeting the Planning Commission concurred with the appropriateness of the site for an elementary school as outlined in the July 12, 2000, staff report and meeting minutes. The Etiwanda School District has now notified the City of its intent to include an additional 2.12 acres south of the initial 10 acres in the school site. SITE DESCRIPTION: A.

The District has determined that an additional 2.12 acres of property located immediately south of the approximate ten acre site previously specified in our June 16th letter will be needed for the proposed elementary school site. Attached is a map of the additional property to be acquired for the cunstmction of the elementary school. Section 65402(c) of the Government Code and Public Resources Code section 21151.2 provide that if a general plan has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired for public purposes until such acquisition has been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to the conformity with the adopted general plan. The Etiwanda School District hereby submits the request required by section 65402(c) of the California Government Code to the planning agency of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

ABSTRACT: Under State law, the Office of the State Amhitect has the authority to review and approve school facilities. In order "to promote the safety of pupils and comprehensive community planning," the school district is required to solicit a written report from the Planning Commission prior to acquiring the land. The Planning Commission is required to investigate the site and detail its recommendations, in writing, to the school district. SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundinq Land Use and Zoninq: North - Building materials yards; ESP Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units/acre) South - Vacant land; ESP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) East -Vacant and single-family residence; ESP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) West - Historic church and single family residence; VCP Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units/acre) B.

Site Characteristics: The site is predominantly vacant with one single-family house of historical significance. The house is in need of major refurbishment. There are mature Eucalyptus windrows along the northern boundary (railroad right-of-way) and native Palms interspersed with numerous mature Silk Oaks, along the Etiwanda Avenue frontage. The rest of the site is undeveloped with , native grasses. The conceptual site plan addresses some of the traffic concerns by providing an extensive drop-off area on site, along the Eitwanda Avenue frontage, and a school bus circle at the southwest corner. The majority of the school buildings are clustered near the center with play areas along the site's pedphery. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Etiwanda School District is proposing to purchase property to construct a new elementary school. The conceptual design consists of approximately 50,000 square feet to accommodate around 775 students in grades K through 5 with 30 teachers/administrators. Attendance boundaries are not known. ANALYSIS: A. Land Use: The proposed school site is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan which calls for a proposed elementary school in this block. The property is located within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay Distdct (Exhibit "C") which encourages protection and enhancement of the visual and historical character and quality of Etiwanda Avenue and its immediate surroundings through special setbacks, building orientation, river rock curbing, and landscape treatment. In addition, the Etiwanda Specific Plan calls for preservation of the Eucalyptus trees along Etiwanda Avenue. Although public schools are not subject to the City's zoning regulations, we would encourage the applicant to follow the spirit of these regulations whenever possible. B. Traffic: ESP Policy 3.43.200 discourages traffic increases in the area as follows: "In recognition of its historic character, discourage excessive traffic on Etiwanda Avenue, particularly north of Base Line, in order to maintain current street widths and design character where possible, and to carefully define those areas where change may be required because of traffic demand." The location of an elementary school will increase traffic along Etiwanda Avenue at peak student drop-off and pick-up pedods. Since the ESP shows this area as a potential elementary school site, this situation could be considered as justification to accept the increased traffic for school purposes. The Engineering staff has requested information from the school district regarding from where the students are expected to travel (school attendance boundaries). A pedestrian activated signal may be warranted for crossing to the school from the west side of Etiwanda Avenue and temporary sidewalks may be needed on both sides of the street for students. C. Historic Preservation: The palms and Silk Oaks along the frontage are part of the original Etiwanda Avenue street tree plan and therefore should remain as part of any site development due to their histodc significance. The existing home, known as the "Fisher House," is designated a local Historic Landmark (#32) and was built in approximately 1895. The District's plan shows the structure being included in the site development off of a parking lot traffic circle at the southwest corner. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PR 00-12 July 12, 2000 Page 3 Other landmarks that are in proximity along Etiwanda Avenue include the Chaffey-Garcia House, Etiwanda Congregational Church, Isle House and the Pacific Electdc Railroad Station. This grouping of historic structures lends itself to form the basis of an historic district within Etiwanda. D. Gradinq: Drainage issues affect most development within the Etiwanda area. A drainage study is needed. The grading plan should be considered early in the planning process and should designed so as not to significantly impact the surrounding properties and street. The proposed grading plan and alternatives and should be evaluated in the environmental assessment process. E. Investiqation: The proposed site acquisition does not require Design Review Committee review or Technical Review Committee review; however, the site acquisition was investigated by the Planning Division. The following comments are offered for the Planning Commission's consideration: 1. Preserve the "Fisher House" on the site in a setting compatible with the structure's historic context as a "citrus grove house." The house should be placed in an open setting of approximately one acre in size with landscaping in keeping with the early 1900's. Placing the house next to a busy drop-off area without sufficient buffer must be considered a significant adverse impact to the structure's, historic context. The ideal location is at the northwest corner of the site because it would complete the cluster of historic buildings (Pacific Electric Station, Chaffey-Garcia House, Etiwanda Congregational Church, and the Isle House) at each corner of the railroad corridor. 2. Preserve in place the Eucalyptus trees along the northern property line and the Silk Oaks and palms along the Etiwanda Street frontage when developing the school site. Those that cannot be preserved in place, should be relocated elsewhere on site if the age, size, and health of the trees make replanting a viable alternative. Because the Windrows of Etiwanda have been identified as a National Register eligible Rural Landscape Historic District, a replanting plan should be an identified mitigation. 3. Decorative metal fencing, rather than chain link, should be used to secure the site. The school's design should emulate the historic architectural styles of the community. 4. The school's site plan should be sensitive to the guidelines of the Etiwanda Avenue Oveday Distdct and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The special Etiwanda Avenue setback requirement of 25-30 feet (ESP Figure 5-25) in addition to the standard 20-foot setback should be incorporated into the school site plan. The parking area and buildings should be set back from the rock curb by 50 feet. 5. Street frontages should be improved to the standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. 6. The school district should coordinate street improvements and access locations with the City Traffic Engineer. 7. A Development Review application including, but not limited to, site plans, building elevations, and landscape plans should be submitted to the City for a courtesy review. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PR 00-12 July 12, 2000 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide comments, which will be forwarded in writing to the school district for their consideration. · Respectfully submitted, City Planner Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Location Map Exhibit "B" - Letter from Etiwanda School District Exhibit "B2" Conceptual Site Plan Exhibit "C" - Etiwanda Avenue Overlay Distdct Regulations Exhibit "D" - Etiwanda Avenue Overlay Distdct Map Exhibit "E" - Photos of the "Fisher House" Exhibit "F" - Engineering Preliminary Review Comments PR- 00- 12 Location Map 0.1 0 0.1 0.2 Miles Gene Newton ~ Board of Trustees Superintendent ~ Brynna R.

Expand the Site Plan to show surrounding land uses, existing driveway locations within 200 feet (north, south and across the street) and label the SANBAG right-of-way. 2. Provide a Site Utilization Map indicating areas from which students will be walking and where they will cross Etiwanda Avenue. Install a pedestrian activated signal for a school crossing of Etiwanda. Install temporary asphalt sidewalks off site on both sides of Etiwanda for school age pedestrians. 3. Identify the location of the school's main entrance gate on the Site Plan. Show a pedestrian path on site from the Etiwanda Avenue pedestrian signal to the main entrance gate. 4. Dedicate an additional 4 feet of right-of-way for Etiwanda Avenue (44 feet measured from the street centerline). 5. Etiwanda Avenue shall be fully improved upon development. Widening may not be required, but existing cobble curb and gutter shall be repaired as needed (see Standard Drawing 105-B): Recent projects north and south 0f this site used a 46-foot curb-to-curb dimension and removed and replace existing pavement as needed. Install a 5-foot property line adjacent sidewalk (about 15 feet back of curb) and street trees per attached Etiwanda Specific Plan figure 5-25. Install street lights and "No Parking Any Time" (R26) signs to City standards. 6. Street improvement plans, prepared by a registered Civil Engineer, shall be submitted to and approved by the City Engineer. Prior to any work being performed in public rights-of-way, fees shall be paid and a construction permit shall be obtained from the City Engineer's office. Security shall be posted and an agreement executed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and City Attorney guaranteeing completion of the public improvements, prior to the issuance of a City construction permit. 7. In accordance with the attached "Existing Overhead Utility Requirements" handout, development will be required to underground existing overhead utilities along Etiwanda Avenue when the street improvements are installed. 8. Provide a conceptual Grading Plan that shows how the site will be drained. If the east side of the site will be raised to drain to Etiwanda Avenue, site boundary cross sections shall show the resulting edge conditions along the east and south property lines. Developed flows cannot cross property lines without easements or written drainage acceptance agreements from the adjacent property owner(s). 9. Provide a drainage study to determine the increase in runoff (Q100) to Etiwanda Avenue as a result of developing this site. Determine whether additional catch basins are needed on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue and how far north of its existing terminus the local storm drain in Etiwanda needs to be extended. It currently ends about 60 feet south of this site. 10. The site is located in Area 8 of the attached Etiwanda/San Sevaine Area Drainage Policy. That policy calls for installation of an interim master plan basin along East Avenue south of the I-15 Freeway to replace a temporary facility on the south side of Base Line Road north of the I-15 Freeway. The master plan storm drain in Base Line would need to be extended east to and south along East Avenue at the same time. Property for the interim basin shall be acquired by the developer. 11. Drive approaches shall conform to City Standard Drawing 101, Type C. Minimum width is 35 feet. Driveways shall be spaced at least 300 feet apart, since this is an Arterial street. 12.

PRELIMINARY REVIEW 00-12 - ETIWANDA SCHOOL DISTRICT - A courtesy review of the proposed site acquisition of approximately 10 acres of land for an elementary school site, located in the Low-Medium Residential Distdct (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (ESP) on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, adjacent to and south of the Southern Pacific Railroad dght of way. -APN: 227-131-15 and 23 through 27. Alan Warren, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Commissioner Tolstoy noted that the staff report recommended the Eucalyptus trees be preserYed. He asked the age of the trees. Mr. Warren replied he was not sure of the age, but they are substantial and have large canopies. He indicated they may be on-site or they be on the Southern Pacific Railroad site. Commissioner Tolstoy felt they were pretty old. He cautioned that many times they are rotten in the center. He recommended that they be carefully inspected and removed if they are not sound because he did not want to subject children to danger. Chairman McNiel invited public comment. John Golden, Superintendent, Etiwanda School District, P. O. Box 248, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he was pleased to speak to the Commission regarding the project. He noted the School District has experienced significant growth and said they try to develop good education programs and beautiful sites. He indicated they are having difficulty finding sites and getting funds. He stated the School Board has been sensitive to the histodc location and incorporating the Fisher House should not present a problem. He said the architects have done a sample plan to have the house near the parking lot. He said they are willing to make changes in their site plan. Chairman McNiel asked how many students are in the School District. Mr. Golden replied they currently have 7,700 students in nine schools and will open a new school in the fall and will have 8,600 students. He said they will open their eleventh school in September 2001 but need another site centrally located in the area. Chairman McNiel asked what percentage of students live in Rancho Cucamonga. Mr. Golden replied approximately two thirds. Chairman McNiel asked if there are any proposed sites in Fontana. Mr. Golden replied that sites have been dedicated but developers have not yet purchased. He said their next school will be in Fontana. Commissioner Tolstoy commended the School Distdct for its efforts to save the Fisher House. He thought it would be an asset to the school and noted that other historical structures are located nearby. Chairman McNiel agreed it would be a wonderful opportunity. Commissioner Tolstoy requested some historical information on the house. Planning Commission Minutes ~ July 12, 2000 ~--~/Z//~ ~- '-2~" Jim Frost, 12996 Victoda Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated the Fisher house was the site of the first telephone company. He said the Community Services Oveday Distdct was initially adopted to allow uses other than residential. He felt that Commissioner Tolstoy was probably right regarding the trees and believed the use of Silk Oaks may need to be readdressed because they are being topped. He thought the School Distdct has a significant opportunity to utilize the histodc site. He noted the school is needed. Chairman McNiel asked if Mr. Frost had any comments with respect to architecture. Mr. Frost hoped it would be Larry Wolfe or someone of his ilk. Mr. Golden indicated that a small architectural firm from Redlands had been selected. He said they are a small firm that is sensitive to Board requests and suggestions. He stated they have a prototype plan for but they take community input on layout and aesthetics. He said they look forward to working with the community. Brad Buller, City Planner, commented that the School District has been very cooperative in considering City staff's input since Mr. Golden became Superintendent. The Commission supported staff's recommendations and directed staff to forward comments to the School District. -_'NTS comments at this time. G.
