ITEM A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT COW 93-09 - WOMEN AT LARGE, INC. May 26, 1993 Page 2 ANALYSIS: Background: On January 27, 1993, the Planning Commission approved the applicant's use for another location (Conditional Use Permit 92-34 located at 9480 Utica). However, the lease was never consummated and the applicant searched for another location. Be General: The 'applicant intends to hold one-hour classes during business hours, which are proposed from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., daily. An average of approximately 10 to 20 students is expected per class. Peak hours are early morning (5:00 - 8:00 a.m.) and early evening (4:00 - 8:00 p.m.). The applicant intends to hire three part-time instructors to teach classes; however, only one instructor will be needed to teach a specific class. Exercise music will be played during class on portable "boom-box" stereos. For further information about the use, please refer to Exhibit "D." C. Issues: In analyzing the proposed Conditional Use Permit, three specific issues maybe associated with the use as follows: i! · Land Use Compatibility: The site is a multi-tenant mixed use project with a wide range of uses either permitted or conditionally permitted, per the requirements of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Specifically, Building B, which includes the proposed use, is a 16,967 square foot building. Currently, only one suite in this building is occupied: a 4,000 square foot contractor's office and storage facility. The two suites adjacent to the proposed use are vacant at this time. All of the existing users operate primarily during regular weekday business hours. Staff does not anticipate any land use conflicts with adjacent industrial or office users, particularly because of offset peak hours. Other like uses in similar settings have been successfully operating without conflict for many years in the industrial area. 2e Noise: Recorded music will be played on portable stereos during classes. The applicant will be required to limit noise to those levels specified in the Industrial Area Specific Plan. A Condition of Approval has been included in the attached Resolution of Approval that would require the Conditional Use Permit to be reevaluated by the Planning Commission if any adverse impacts (including noise) are created by the use. Parking: Realth studios require 1 parking space per 150 square feet of gross floor area, which amounts to 31 spaces. However, staff believes this ratio is inadequate for the applicant's proposed business because the maximum occupancy is 80 persons in the exercise area. Therefore, it is possible that up to 80 parking spaces would be necessary for this use, ass,,m~ng that PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP !)3-09 - WOMEN AT LARGE, INC. May 26, 1993 Page 3 nobody carpools, walks, or bicycles to class. Since a total of 12 spaces are allocated for this tenant space within the complex, (based on the standard 1 space per 400 square foot ratio required for multi-tenant industrial parks), staff recommends limiting the class size to ll students and 1 instructor during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday). However, during off-peak office hours, the number of students should be lint%ted to the maximum number of parking spaces in the complex subtracting a parking space for an instructor, or 77 students. With these limitations, staff believes that no parking conflicts will result from this use. Ce Fire District: The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District reviewed the conceptual plans and at this time feels the only upgrades required for this use are a conspicuously displayed, commercial type fire extinguisher in the exercise room and emergency lights near all exits. Based on the size of the exercise room, a maximum occupancy of 80 persons will be required to be posted in the workout area. Dm Building and Safety Division: The Building and Safety Division reviewed the conceptual floor plan and will be requesting that more detailed plans, prepared by a licensed architect or engineer, be submitted for review and approval prior to occupancy. The plans will help determine the occupancy type and maximum n~mher for the use. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 93-09 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

Moves With The Future  In a society that extols the virtues of being thin, it has been increas- ingly difficult for the overweight woman to find a place to exercise without feeling self-conscious. Criticized for her size. she learned to stay away from athletic clubs and exercise groups catering to the sw~ller woman. So, feeling alone and desperate, she resorted to futile crash diets, home exercise, walking alone, and other equally ineffective and oftentimes dangerous methods in her desperate attempts to squ¢cze herself into the typical image of today's woman. Her health and appearance are extremely important to her. There have bccn few alternatives awtl~ble in her quest to shed those unwanted pounds and inches, tighten and shape her body, improve her health and re-establish her shaky self-esteem. Until Women at Large Fitness C!~lbs. . . Since 1983, Women at Large Syst~,~s, Inc.' b~s dominated the field of physical fitness for the overweight woman, developing this grass roots industry and becoming the leadiug expert in tht~ once scorned, highly st)e~lt~l w~rket through hard work. con- st~r~t research and hands-on experience. ProvMtug an energy-packed, motivated, safe, yet highly effective exercise regime, Women at Large Systems, Irm* h_~-~ faced head-on, and overcome, every objection and obstacle, shattering myths like these: 'Overweight women will not exercise, they are too lazy, they can't move freely, plus. they just don't care!' St_~_rting with a two-level beginner's program. the member advances according to her ability: to sixty minute dance exercise. cross Wain2~, power wnlking, interval h-ainlng, hand weights. and statio~nry bikes. Heart rate is continuously monitored throughout all programs. Body composition avalysis and blood pressure checks are perfou~,ed on a regular basis. as well as Personal Fitness Matrix reviews. A custom-cut line of leotards and tights. exclusively under the Women at Ixzrge label, provide members with comfort- able and supportive workout wear. Now, the overweight. out-of-condition woman has it all... final¥ Her place to exercise and get in shape... Women at Large Fireess But Women at Large Systems. Irm* didn't stop there. In an effort to further improve the health of our members, and at their request, the issue of safe and long-term weight loss was addressed, then acted on. Our answer... EX'ftlF3 Marketing Niche Women at Large markets primarily to women who are, or feel that they are larger than the "norm." The Program includes low-impact aerobic and cross-train- ing techniques designed specifically for the larger female body. Coincidently, the exercise program has also been found to be excellent for any individual requiring low-impact aerobic activity. This includes former heart attack victims and cardiovascular diseased individuals, of both genders. In addition, a line of women's exercise wear is available at each facility; especial- ly designed to fit the larger body. For those wishing it, the Phytt Body System food plan and weight-loss program is stocked and available for purchase, along with a specifically designed fitness pro- gram for healthy loss of body fat and the building of body lean. The demographics of the site lead us to believe that 85% of our clientele will consist of women between the ages of 25-65 who are 10 to 100 pounds overweight. We also expect to attract clients of both genders between the ages of 60-75 who are in search of a good low-impact aerobic program (this group will make up approximate- ly 10% of our clientele.) In addition, we plan to pull approximately 5% of our cli- ents from males between the ages of 40-60 who are in need of such a program. Paula R. Brooks Business Plan (1~/92) Features and Benefits The facility will cater to the woman who has been typically ignored by the fitness industry. Over 50% of American women are overweight, and have no place to go to enjoy the benefits of exercise. The business will have floating wooden floors which prevent impact and stress damage on feet and joints. For the larger client, especially, this is beneficial. South- ern Californians typically live and work on concrete slab floors. Especially for the weight bearing body, this causes a myriad of painful foot and joint and back condi- tions. An uncarpeted floating wooden floor, therefore, is essential for exercise; even low-impact programs. The Spa is the only other competitor with a wooden floor, and it is carpeted. The medical profession has extolled the benefits of the Women at Large pro- gram, as well as the Phytt Body System (see affidavits). Clients who wish to lose weight along with the exercise program will not have to go to another facility or cultivate a relationship with another business to meet that need; it will be provided by Women at Large Fitness Club. Exercise clothing will be made available to the large woman to purchase right at the facility. Plans for an on-site Massage Therapist are being finalized in order to provide this added service to our clients. The business is customer focused and customer driven to meet the needs of ks clients. Courses will be added as clients ask for them. A suggestion box will be in place and constant client evaluations will be collected. In the nine years of, not only pioneering the field of exercise for the overweight, out of shape woman, but also of continuous hands on operation, Woman at Large has gained the credibility and expertise necessary to become a knowledgeable and solid franchisor. We are convinced that exercise, as well as weight loss for the weight-bearing body is not a passing fad, but rather, an exciting and viable concept on which to build a firm business. Paula K.

McNiel, Chairman ATTEST= Brad Bullet, Secretary I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Co~aission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing ~solution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, ~nd adol~ced by the Pl~nni~ Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Co~mission held on the 26th day of May 1993, by the following vote-to-wit= AYES COMMISSIONERS= NOESz COMMISSIONERS~ ABSENT COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: May 26, 1993 Chairman and Members of the Planning Com~nission Brad Buller, City Planner Steven Ross, Assistant Planner VARIANCE 93-04 - NERO - A request to reduce the required side yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet to allow the construction of a storage shed in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) located at 8593 Lemon Avenue - APN: 1062-461-07. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) South - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) East - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) West - Single family residence; Low Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) B. Site Characteristics: The site is fully developed with a single family residence. ANALYSIS: General: The purpose and intent of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and in the same district inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. Specific: The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required side yard setback to construct a storage shed and breezeway next to the garage. The shed was partially constructed when a building inspector discovered that it did not have permits. The shed is connected to the house by a covered breezeway, and a 6-foot wall is located in front of the structure. The Development Code requires a minimum combined side yard setback of 15 feet (5 feet on one side, 10 feet on the other) in the Low Residential District. The residence has a 5-foot setback on the east side, and a 16-foot setback exists between the house and property line on the west side where the shed has been built. Therefore, a 5-foot reduction in the required side yard setback is necessary to permit a 5-foot encroachment of the structure. ITEM B PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT VAR 93-04 - NERO May 26, 1993 Page 2 Grounds for Variance: The applicant contends that he is being deprived of the privileges enjoyed by his neighbors, because several of the other lots in the area have similar sheds, additions, or patio covers in the side yards which bring the side yard setbacks to 5 feet on each side. Staff visited the area and agrees that other properties do have structures encroaching into the side yards (the addresses are noted on Exhibit "C"). In his letter of justification, the applicant also stated that several homes along Napa Avenue were built at 5-foot side yard setbacks. Staff researched this and found that these homes were built in the early 1970's when 5 feet was the minimum setback required on both sides. The attached topographic map identifies these areas. In staff's opinion, strict and literal interpretation of the required side yard setback would deprive the applicant of the privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the area because many of them have structures within the required setbacks or were built when the required setbacks were 5 feet on each side. In addition, the design and setting of the structure both combine to mitigate its encroachment into the side yard. The shed has a pitched roof which covers a breezeway and allows a sidewalk to run from the rear yard to the front yard. Because the property is several feet lower than the property to the west, it is less visible from that side and well screened by large shrubs. The structure is also partially screened by a block wall in front, while the breezeway helps to create a more open effect. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order to grant this Variance, the Co~nission must make all of the findings as listed below: That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions ~licable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Ee That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Nero ADDRESS: 8593 Lemon Ave Alta Loma, Ca 91701 PHONE: (999) 989-2134 April 8, 1993 I am requesting a variance for the following reasons: (1) Table 17.08.949 of the City Development Code states the setback for interior side yards is 5' and 19' respectively. The addition of this storage shed on the west side of my existing garage will only maintain a 5' and 5' setback thus the request for variance. (2) There are now (8) existing homes within the sa~e block and within 599 feet of said property that only maintain the 5' and 5' interior yard setback. Homes are located at: 6318 Napa, 6339 Napa, 6357 Napa, 6369 Napa, 6371 Napa, 6378 Napa, 6277 Napa, and 6228 Amberwood Dr. (3) The slope of the existing property and the existing lack of water drainage from the rear to front yard are problems inherent with the property from inception. This storage shed project is located such that it is located directly between my existing garage and my neighbor's garage directly to my west. The location of this storage shed has also resolved my water drainage problems.This shed presents no problems with any surrounding home as it relates to view of the mountains, aesthetics, location, etc .... The height of the shed is below the ridge line of my neighbor's garage due to the difference in pperty grades. My property is 4-5 feet lower in grade. The homes directly south of my property are 12-15 feet lower in grade and are protected by a 15 foot retaining wall. This wall prevents anyone from seeing my property or my storage shed. The shed once completed will match the contour of the existing structure. (4) The approval of this variance would be consistent with homes already in the i~u~ediate area and once completed woul~m~onl¥ improve the value of the property but w~ld be/aesthetically appealing to the neighborhood. / Richard/~.

ABSTRACT: This item is the detailed review of Pad 9 (Claim Jumper) of the Foothill Marketplace Shopping Center. BACKGROUND: On August 21, 1991, the City approved the Master Plan for Foothill Marketplace, a 62-acre commercial center containing roughly 550,000 square feet of leasable space. Since that original approval, plar~ have been reviewed and approved for all major portions of the site. The buildings yet to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Co~ission are Circuit City, Office Depot, and several free-standing pads. On April 14, 1993, the Planning Commission approved plans for the western phase of the project. This approval established the general circulation and parking layout for the area, including the area adjacent to the proposed restaurant. ANALYSIS: General: The applicant is proposing to construct a 10,600 square foot restaurant. The building is designed with wood siding, rock veneer (native stone), and asphalt shingles. The restaurant will include a bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Alcoholic beverages will be served in both the bar and the dining area. Parking will be provided around the perimeter of the building. Planning Commission Workshops: During the initial workshops for Foothill Marketplace, staff and the center developer approached the Planning Commission about allowing "Signature Architecture" for free-standing restaurants. The Co~ission, acknowledging the Regional Related Co~nercial designation of the site, stated that ITEM C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-05 - SCHEER BRADEN ARCHITECTS May 26, 1993 Page 2 Ce Be signature architecture would be acceptable for Foothill Marketplace. As a result, the developer and the applicant have pursued submittal of the Claim Jumper restaurant. Design Review Committee: On April 20, 1993, the Design Review Committee (Melcher, Vallette, Coleman) reviewed the plans and recommended approval subject to the following: Samples of the rock veneer should be submitted for Planning Commission review. 2. The decorative paving provided at the main entry should extend to the handicap spaces adjacent to the entry. The asphalt shingles were acceptable provided the City's high wind standards are met. The Committee felt that asphalt shingles were appropriate given the design of the building. This item may be discussed in more detail at the Planning Commission meeting because of the present policy regarding roof material for new construction. Staff should work with the applicant to determine if a sidewalk could be provided on the east side of the building. As presently designed, a sidewalk would significantly reduce the landscaping. The site should be reviewed to determine if the building could be shifted to accommodate both the landscaping and the sidewalk. If the building can not be shifted, the Committee felt the landscaping was more important than the sidewalk. At the time of report preparation, staff was working with the applicant on alternative designs to provide a sidewalk. Staff will verbally update the Commission on possible design solutions at the meeting. Compatibility: Under the provisions of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, restaurants are a permitted use. The requirements for the Conditional Use Permit stems from the on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages. These requirements were imposed to allow consideration for the compatibility of adjacent land uses. In this particular instance, the restaurant is a free-standing pad. The facility m~ets the parking requirement as noted in the development (144 spaces required, 169 spaces provided). There are no residences within 1/4-mile of the site. Therefore, the use should be compatible within the center. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 93-05 - SCHEER BRADEN ARCHITECTS May 26, 1993 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION: Conditional Use Resolution.

BACKGROUND: In June 1989, the Planning Co~ission approved the Uniform Sign Program for "Foothill Village." The program established criteria for the 3 major tenants and the minor tenants within the center. Briefly, the Sign Program provided the following: A. Major Tenants Defined as Buildings A, B, and C occupying 9,900 square feet, 10,000 square feet, and 12,000 square feet, respectively. 2. Allows individual channel letters a maximum height of 36 inches. 3. Allowable colors are red and yellow. B. Plaza Tenants 1. Defined as all remaining buildings. 2. Allows individual channel letters a maximum height of 18 inches. 3. Allowable color is red. ANALYSIS: Request: The applicant is now requesting an amendment to the Uniform Sign Program to address two main areas (see Exhibit "A"). First, an "intermediate tenant" category would be created. An intermediate tenant would be defined as any tenant occupying between 3,000 and 7,500 square feet. An intermediate tenant would be allowed an individual channel letter sign a maximum height of 24 inches. And second, the applicant is requesting the colors for major tenants be expanded to include blue and that these colors be allowed for intermediate tenants.

BB:SM:mlg Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Letter From Applicant Exhibit "B" - Uniform Sign Program PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SP NO. 90 - FOOTHILL VI?.LAGE May 26, 4993 Page 2 B. Staff Comments: Letter Size - In considering the request, staff has reviewed the sign programs for a number of neighborhood shopping centers within the City. In the majority of neighborhood centers, the sign program criteria has been established with two tenant categories - major tenants and minor tenants. The ~jor tenants are allowed flexibility in sign height, ranging between 24 inches and 66 inches. (The 66-inch sign only occurs with the "H" in Hughes Market. The balance of the letters are roughly 36 inches.) The minor tenants are typically limited to 18 inches in height. There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this criteria. Haven Village (northeast corner of Haven and Highland Avenues) allows 24-inch letters for minor tenants. Terra Vista Village (northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Base Line Road) appears to be the only neighborhood shopping center with an intermediate tenant category. Tenants ranging from 5,000 to 9,999 square feet in area are allowed 24-inch letters. And, Central Park Plaza allows tenants with upper and lower case letters to have 24-inch letters for the upper case letters and upstrokes and downstrokes of letters. Staff believes that there are locations where 24-inch letters may be appropriate given certain criteria, such as building size, sign band location, and architectural compatibility, proportions of sign to sign location, etc. It is difficult, however, to create criteria specific enough to provide clear direction to a potential tenant. Having seen how the Sign Program has worked for Terra Vista Village, staff believes that a consistent application could be considered for this center. Therefore, staff supports the use of 24-inch letters for those tenants over 5,000 square feet. Letter Color - As with the letter size, the majority of sign programs are consistent in limiting the number of colors available to minor and intermediate tenants. The centers typically require tenants to use red letters. Those centers that do have variation (Vineyards Marketplace) allow a second color consistent with the major tenant (i.e., red and white, red and blue). During the original program approval, much discussion centered on the sign colors - House of Fabrics originally wanted a yellow sign, Blockbuster Video wanted a yellow-orange sign. The Comission determined that 2 colors would be allowed for major tenants and only one color would be allowed for plaza/minor tenants. While 2 colors may be acceptable, staff is reluctant to recomend approval because of previous discussions with other tenants and the possibility of additional colors being proposed at a later date (i.e., Blockbuster's yellow-orange). , .....
