CHANCO - A residential subdivision of 37 single family lots on 8.3 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre), located at the southeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Lemon Avenue - APN: 201-252-04, 40, 41, and 49. BACKGROUND: On March 28, 1990, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 14459, a total residential development package, to expire on March 28, 1992. The applicant received a one-year time extension to expire on March 28, 1993. The applicant is currently requesting an additional one-year time extension which would expire on March 28, 1994. Provisions of the Development Code allow for time extensions in twelve-month increments, not to exceed five years from the original date of approval. The applicant may request one additional time extension to extend the tentative map until March 28, 1995. The project successfully completed the plan check process; building permits were never pulled and the plan check expired in May of 1992. ANALYSIS: Staff reviewed the proposed time extension request and compared the proposal with development criteria outlined in the Development Code. Based upon this review, staff determined that the project meets all of the basic development standards of the Low-Medium Residential District. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Planning Co~ission must make the following findings before approving this application: There have been no significant changes in the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the Development Code, or the character of the area within which the project is located that would cause the approved project to become inconsistent or non-conforming; and Bo The granting of an extension will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Site Characteristics: The vocational training facility is proposed within the Cucamonga Business Center at the southwest corner of Archibald Avenue and Arrow Route. With the adoption of the Industrial Area Specific Plan in 1981, this site was designated as General Industrial. The Specific Plan, however, acknowledged the project's design as a business park and granted special consideration to allow the project to be regulated by the uses and standards established for Industrial Park designations. While the standards for this site are slightly different than the adjacent properties, the vocational training facility does still require approval of a Conditional Use Permit application. B. Parking Calculations: Number of Number of Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Footage Ratio Required Provided Trade School 3,890 1 space/ 3 students 15 1 space/ employee 13 28 15 ANALYSIS: ao General: As noted in the applicant's letter (see Exhibit "A"), the vocational training facility is proposing to relocate from their existing facility at 9550 Foothill Boulevard (next to Vineyard Bank) to the Cucamonga Business Park. The facility will provide services for a maximum ITEM D PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-02 - COI~ VOCATIONAL SERVICES April 28, 1993 Page 2 of 45 students and 13 employees. The facility will provide training programs for developmentally disabled adults. The facility will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with students at the facility from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Compatibility: Being developed as a business/industrial park, the Cucamonga Business Park has typically leased space to office and related support services. Such is the case with the subject building and surrounding buildings. The subject Building 20 was designed and approved for office uses. Building 18 (see Exhibit "B") is occupied by the State of California, State Farm Insurance, and an evening driving school. Building 19 is occupied by the State of California. And Building 17 is the A.H. Reiter Company leasing office. Because of the limited nature of the proposed use and adjacent businesses operating during the same hours, staff does not perceive a problem with the uses. Parking: Under the Development Code, the closest use to the vocational training facility for parking purposes is a trade school. As noted previously, parking is required at a rate of one space for every three students plus one space for each employee. This would require 28 parking spaces to be provided for the use. The proposed use, however, is unique in that the students will be transported to and from the facility by mini- vans (i.e.,Dial-A Ride) because they are not able to drive. The facility will employ 13 people who will occupy the parking spaces. The management/leasing company will be designating 13 spaces for the employee parking. Additionally, the use type does not promote walk-in clients which would impact this or other businesses. With a condition of approval included to limit the number of employees to 13, staff feels the 15 parking spaces available are adequate to meet the demands of the applicant and the Cucamonga Business Park. RECOMMENDATION: Staff reco~ends that the Planning Co~ission approve Conditional Use Permit 93-02 through adoption of the attached Resolution.

Applicant is funded by the State of California, Department of Developmental Services to provide vocational and independent living training programs for adults with developmental disabilities. For example, the participants learn the reason for and use of community resources such as the bank, post office and library. This means that the participants will spend time at the program site and in the community. At the program site, there will be a maximum of 45 participants and 13 employees. In the community, there will be a maximum group size of 4 participants with 1 Cole Vocational Services' instructor. Hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., however, the participants' program hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants are transported to the program site and home by mini-vans.

APN: 225-191-03, 04, 13, 15, AND 20 ABSTRACT: This report provides general information about the proposed high school site and identifies the major concerns and potential problems with the site. The Co~ission will be asked to make reco~endations to the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. BACKGROUND: This item was continued from the April 14, 1993, Planning Co~ission meeting at which the Commission first reviewed the written notification from Chaffey Joint Union High School District of its intent to acquire a site in Etiwanda for a future high school. State Law (Public Resources Section 21~51.2) requires school districts to notify the Planning Commission before acquiring property for a new school site. The City does not have jurisdiction over approval or denial of the site selection, but the Planning Commission is authorized to submit reco~endations to the school district for its consideration. Section 21~51.2 states as follows: "To promote the safety of pupils and comprehensive community planning the governing board of each school district before acquiring title to property for a new school site or for an addition to a present school site, shall give the planning commission having jurisdiction notice in writing of the proposed acquisition. The planning co~m~ission shall investigate the proposed site and within 30 days after receipt of the notice shall submit to the governing board a written report of the investigation and its recommendations concerning acquisition of the site. The governing board shall not acquire title to the property until the report of the planning co~ission has been received. If the report does not favor the acquisition of the property for a school site, or for an addition to a present school site, the governing board of the school district shall not acquire title to the property until 30 days after the commission's report is received." ITEM E PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PROPOSED ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL SITE April 28, 1993 Page 2 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Refer to the previous report dated April 14, 1993. ISSUES/ANALYSIS: Conformance with the General Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan: The proposed school use is not in conformance with the General Plan nor the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Both plans identify the locations of existing and proposed schools in the area. The General Plan Technical Update was adopted in 1988, and amended in 1991 with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, and reflects the proposed locations of schools within the community, as was provided by the various school districts at that time. The high school district had not previously indicated to the City the need for a high school at this site nor in the general area. The use of this site for a major school facility raises significant questions which were obviously not considered during the 1988 or 1991 General Plan Amendments. Site Constraints: The site presents numerous problems to development which include the following: The eastern portion (near half) of the site is within the Etiwanda Creek Flood Plain. The area is designated as Zone D, an area of undetermined, but possible flood hazard, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Drainage studies done by the previous owner of this site and other projects in the area, which have been reviewed by FEMA, indicate portions of the site are probably subject to flood hazards both from undetermined flows north of 24th Street and from a breakout of the Etiwanda Creek levee. Prior to any development on this site, a drainage study will be required to determine the limits of actual flood hazard (Zone A) and propose mitigation measures. Removal of the flood zone designation shall be approved by FEMA prior to construction on the site.. The site is located within Area 5 of the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Area Drainage Policy. Master Plan System 5 drainage facilities are in place south of the site, but must be extended north in East Avenue upon development. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District (SBCFCD) will eventually be extending the Etiwanda Creek Channel, along the east side of this site, north to 24th Street and construction of a regional basin. Current planning is contingent upon funding and environmental issues including the need for a wildlife corridor. Some of these will have to be resolved prior to construction of the Route 30 Freeway. If development of the site is delayed until after the freeway is in place, flood protection issues may be reduced. Caltrans is currently designing the Route 30 Freeway on the adjacent property south of this site. Our understanding of their current plans indicate the following: PLANNING COM~4ISSION STAFF REPORT PROPOSED ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL SITE April 28, ~993 Page 3 a) East Avenue will need to be elevated to pass over the freeway; and b) Caltrans will construct a frontage road on the north side of the freeway to provide access to parcels east of this site, including the Flood Control District. They may need to acquire right-of-way from this site. Noise studies should be instituted to ascertain the potential impact on school functions due to the freeway design configuration. Site access needs to be studied as the overpass ramp may block access along the majority of its East Avenue frontage, leaving only the northwest corner available. Driveway spacing along East Avenue shall conform to the City's Driveway Policy. Location of the freeway frontage road will affect driveway locations as well as future street locations on the west side of East Avenue. Driveways shall be located 100 feet from unsignalized intersections, 200 feet from signalized intersections, 300 feet from other driveways, and aligned with driveways across the street. These constraints make only one driveway feasible on East Avenue, with secondary access from the freeway frontage road. East Avenue is designated as a Secondary Arterial in the General Plan and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing street shall be reconstructed and widened to 64 feet (32 feet on the east side). The right-of-way dedication along this frontage will be 44 feet as measured from the center line. If development precedes the Route 30 Freeway, widening shall extend to the Highland Avenue intersection. This flood plain is also an undeveloped scrub/sage habitat associated with the California Gnatcatcher endangered species. A detailed biological survey and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) permit are required for any development proposal. Comments from the USFWS should be obtained through the environmental review (CEQA) process. Land Use Compatibility: The site is bordered on three sides (north, east, and west) by vacant single family residential land. Residential developments are the preferred neighboring land uses for schools. High schools, however, and associated activities can present greater impacts to the surrounding area than one might expect from elementary and middle schools. These impacts include: -Increased vehicular traffic and parking demands due to student drivers. Increased noise and lighting glare and vehicular traffic due to after school activities (athletic and special events, band practices, etc.). Community Services reports that at all current co,unity high schools the location of parking lots causes problems. Area residents complain about the lack of parking spaces which causes the students to park in the PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PROPOSED ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL SITE April 28, 1993 Page 4 neighborhoods. The other most common complaint comes from youth sports organizations who use the athletic fields. Their concern is the parking is located by the school buildings and none is provided for the athletic fields which results in the groups carrying their equipment long distances because they park and/or drop off participants in nearby residential areas. By locating a high school in the Very Low Residential District, fewer residents will be exposed to such impacts than in other residential districts with greater density. Alternatively, the school would present additional intrusive activities into the "rural atmosphere" of Etiwanda. The increased degree of intrusion may be cumulative when considered with future freeway impacts. The future freeway poses potential conflicts with nearly every use. For schools, the traffic noise could negatively effect the classroc~ environment and vehicle air pollution most certainly will have some negative effect on enjoyment of outdoor activities. Community Services: In addition to the previously mentioned parking concerns, Community Services recommends that any new high school be constructed with facilities to accommodate all varsity sports programs upon opening. For the last two school openings, the City has provided field and court space for high school athletics and had to limit public use as a result. Also, since the residential area being considered (in Etiwanda) has yet to have any major development, perhaps the school district should consider planning for lighted athletic fields and a high school sports stadium in this area. Public Safety: The site is designated by the General Plan as a fire hazard area due to the wildfire potential. The General Plan does indicate the future location of a fire station near 24th and East Streets. Fire District staff does not see any significant issues regarding the site selection. Concerns relating to the fire hazard area should be addressed by implementation of fire safety policies and measures as outlined in General Plan Chapter V (see attached applicable sections) for any development initiated in this area. The issue of the site configuration and the potential lack of double access routes (as recommended in the General Plan) does not necessarily provide cause to recomend against the site. These limitations can, in Fire staff's opinion, be negated by proper site planning which takes into account the need for good emergency access features through building/facilities design and orientation. In fact, development of a high school in this area presents some benefits over other developments due to the high degree of fire safety built into classroom buildings and the expanse of open areas typical of schools. The Police review of the proposal was not available at the time of the writing of this report due to the shift of personnel for emergency preparedness in response to the recent Los Angeles civil rights court case. It is anticipated that a police representative will be available at the meeting to comment on the proposal. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PROPOSED ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL SITE April 28, 1993 Page 5 Fe Environmental Review: A significant n,~mher of the comments made in this report are environmental issues (noise, flood, native plants/animals, traffic, etc.). Staff believes it would be appropriate, therefore, for the school district to review the proposed acquisition action under CEQA environmental review provisions. This recommendation is based on the assumption that any environmental review must take into consideration the ultimate project. Since the district's discretionary land acquisition is to result in the development of a high school, those environmental concerns which can be identified at this stage in the project must be addressed. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposal and d/rect staff to forward appropriate comments as contained in this report, to the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. Further, it is recommended that the Commission request that prior to the site's acquisition, an environmental review of the ultimate use of the site be completed for public review. The Planning Commission may wish to consider the following three possible actions: Forward applicable concerns and comments without an overall recommendation; 2. Forward a recommendation in support of the selection of the subject site with applicable comments; or 3. Forward a recommendation that the District not purchase the land based upon applicable concerns and ~om~ents.

The depiction of a fire station is an indication of a projected future need that may be adjusted over time as the City develops. All proposed development shall satisfy the structural fire protection standards contained in the moat recent editions of the Uniform Building Colts and the Uniform Fire Code. All proposed development shall be adequately served by water supplies for community fire protection. All proposed development shall meet the Foothill Fire Protection District's requirements for safe and ready access for fire and other emergency equipment. The design of roads and street systems should meet the following standards. Each development or phase of development should have at least two different ingress-agrees routes. Cul-de-sacs should not exceed 600 feet and should provide a turn-around right of way not lass than 90 feet in diameter. Street grades should not exceed 12 percent' except for short diatancss where topographic conditions de not permit lesser grades. In areas designated as high fire hazard, the City and County should undertake or continue progmmsto minimize fuel buildup around residences and other _oc~__,pied structures. Establishment and maintenance of a greenbelt or cultivated fuel break between fire risk areas and urbanized areas. The City should undertake programs to manage the interface between light ground fuels and heavy forest fuels so that easily staffed fires with low burning intensity can be controlled before they have the opportunity to ignite the heavier fuels such as dense chaparral and those of the woodland areas. Such programs should include the following measures. Fire buffers along heavilytraveled r_~ should be created by thinning, discing, or controlled buming subject to air quality restrictions. Brush, but not woodland canopy, should be cleared from the road for 10 feet on both sides of the road. Firebreak programs in risk areas where there are no roads should be continu~. A minimum firebreak from 30 to 100 feet should be maintained in these areas. The existing rows ol eucalyptus should be topped and trimmed, and combustible and dead vegetative material at the base should be removed. The fire hazard posed by existing blue gum species of eucalyptus should be recognized and the feasibility of replacing these trees should be considered. All applications for development in the fire hazard area shall include an interim fuel management program to reduce the risk of fire. The County and City shall encourage clustered developments to provide for more localized and effective fire protection measures such as consolidation of fuel buildup abatement, firebreak maintenance, fire fighting equipment access and water service provision. Fire protection water systems and fire hydrants necassan/to serve development within the Foothill Fire Protection District's minimum response time should be in place and operative pdor to combustibles being brought on-site. If required fire flow cannot be met, other mitigation measures, as approved by the Foothill Fire Distr/ct, shall be provided. The City, in cooperation with the Foothill Fire District, adopted ordinances governing the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems for specific commercial and industrial buildings, In addition, the Fire District encourages installation of this system forotherCommercialand Industrial buildings as well as smoke detector installation for residences.

KNAPP 13054 Victoria Avenue Etiwanda, Calif. 91739 (909)899-3929 be ohosan for any CC: ~affey Joint Union High School District DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: April 28, 1993 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT Chairman and Members of the Planning Co~mnission Brad Buller, City Planner Scott Murphy, Associate Planner AMENDMENT TO UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM NO. 118 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS - A request to amend the Uniform Sign Program for Foothill Marketplace to change the definition of a "major tenant" and to allow for "logo graphic signage" within a previously approved co~nercial retail center in the Regional Related Commercial designation (Subarea 4) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between 1-15 and Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 229-031-27 through 44. BACKGROUND: Under the City's Sign Ordinance, no specific criteria is established Regional Related Con~nercial designation. The sign criteria, therefore, is submitted by the applicant and is reviewed and approved by the Planning Con~nission. On May 21, 1992, the Planning Commission approved the Uniform Sign Program for Foothill Marketplace. The program established a hierarchy of signs for anchor, major, intermediate, and shop tenants (see Exhibit "B"). To date, three signs have been approved within the center - the two anchor tenants (Price Club and Wal-Mart) and the freestanding pad (In-N- Out Burger). ANALYSIS: The applicant is now requesting an amendment to the sign program to modify the definition of a Major Tenant (see Exhibit "A") and to allow for a registered trademark/logo without accompanying individual letters. Definition of Major Tenant: This sign criteria established for Foothill Marketplace creates a hierarchy of signs within the center. To briefly summarize the sign program, the criteria is as follows: Anchor Tenant - Occupies 75,000 square feet or more Letter Height Allowed - 4 feet 6 inches maximum Major Tenant - Occupies between 30,000 and 74,999 square feet. Letter Height Allowed - 30-inch letters allowed with the potential to obtain a maximum letter height of 36 inches through Design Review Co~ittee review and approval ITEM F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 90-37 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE April 28, 1993 Page 2 Intermediate Tenant - Occupies between 10,000 and 29,999 square feet Letter Height Allowed - 24-inch letters allowed with the potential to obtain a maximum letter height of 30 inches through Design Review Co~nittee review and approval d. Plaza Tenant - Occupies less than 10,000 square feet Letter height allowed - 18-inch letters maximum The applicant is proposing to modify the definition of the Major Tenant to lower the square footage requirement from 30,000 to 23,500 square feet. By doing this, two tenants (Majors 3 and 4 of the eastern phase) will be reclassified from Intermediate Tenants to Major Tenants. within the center as a whole, the mix of tenants would change as follows: Type of Tenant Original No. Revised No. Anchor 2 2 Major 3 5 Intermediate 3 1 When reviewing signs for a tenant, one of the key elements considered is the relationship between the size of the sign and the building face. with small tenant names, 36-inch letters may be proportionate to the building, but there is always the concern that tenants with larger names will try to "force" a sign design in order to obtain the larger letter. Staff feels that the current criteria is sufficient to allow signage that is proportionate to the building and will provide adequate visibility. Also, staff believes the current criteria provides a better blend of tenant signage rather than dramatic differences between adjoining tenants. Therefore, staff does not support the modification to revise the definition of Major Tenants. Trademark/Logo: The applicant is requesting a modification to allow the use of trademarks/logos for those users that do not use individual letters for their signs. The sign program currently provides for the use of trademarks/logos, as follows: Anchor Tenant - "Business logo identity graphics and colors" are allowed subject to landlord and City approval on a case-by-case basis. Staff interprets this to allow trademark typestyle and graphic symbols. Major Tenant - "Business logo identity graphics and colors" are allowed subject to landlord and City approval on a case-by-case basis. Staff interprets this to allow trademark typestyle and graphic symbols. c. Intermediate Tenant - Logos not addressed by sign program. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 90-37 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE April 28, 1993 Page 3 Plaza Tenant - "Business identity graphics and colors for the logo symbol only" subject to landlord and City approval on a case-by-case basis. Staff interprets this to allow only the use of graphic symbols and to ensure that typestyle conforms to the two typestyles shown in the sign program. As an example, Wienerschnitzel is approved for a large "W" with Wienerschnitzel included in small letters underneath (see Exhibit "C"). For this sign type, the applicant is proposing the same criteria approved by the Design Review Co~nittee for Central Park Plaza. The criteria reads as follows: "A registered trademark/logo, without adjacent individual letters, may be included within the calculated sign area provided the allowable area is reduced by 33 percent of the allowable area and that the logo may not exceed four feet in any dimension. The logo shall also be sized to be in proportion to the building face to which it is attached. This sign is subject to review and approval by the Landlord and the City of Rancho Cucamonga." Because of the reduction of sign area for the trademark/logo, staff supports the proposed modification. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Co~nission approve the use of trademark/logo signs and deny the modifications to the Major Tenant definition through minute action.

In doing so, it has become apparent that at this time I must request a modification to our Uniform Sign Program. Of our six tenants, all are highly visible and/or nationally recognized. Five of the six tenants are larger than 24,000 square feet. In most cases, these national tenants have established signage that is much larger than allowed in our sign program. I am not in full agreement with the tenant's desire to enlarge their prototype sign height, but I do support a modification to our program to lower the square footage definition of a major tenant from 30,000 square feet to Z3,500 square feet to allow these tenants a sign that is more in scale to their building size and frontage. Also, I would like to add verbiage similar to what has been previously approved by the city (ie. Central Park Plaza) to allow registered trademark/logo signage for all tenants but our plaza tenants. I appreciate your consideration in this matter and if you need additional information please call. Sincerely, THE WATTSON ARNO COMPANY Gregor~ ~.
