Site Characteristics: The narrow, long, basically rectangular site
contains several building foundations near the center of the site. These
foundations remain from the barrick buildings that served to house Italian
prisoners of war on the property during the later stages of World War
II. The site contains 222 mature trees, 69 of which are potentially
worthy of preservation, according to the City's arboricultural
consultant. Curb and gutter exist along the site's Arrow Route
frontage. The site slopes generally from north to south at an average of
3 percent.

ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing to subdivide this site for the
development of 159 single family detached homes. Even though the property
is zoned Medium Residential, the applicant is proposing detached homes
because of market research. Three common open space areas, each
containing a minimum of three amenities, are provided on-site and are
equally distributed within the project. Two paseo connections from the
north and south common open space areas are provided for access to the
future regional trail along Cucamonga Creek.
The site is proposed to be served by private streets with gated entrances
a].ong the Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route frontages. The private
streets are designed to meet the City's minimum width requirements for
local residential streets, but have a reduced parkway width behind the
curb line. The Foothill Boulevard vehicular access also provides ingress
and egress to the Case Volante Mobile Home Park, i~nediately west of the
site. Ultimately, the existing mobile home park access is planned to be
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
TT 15540 & VAR 93-03 - FU MAI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
June 23, 1993
Page 3
eliminated. The new access to Foothill Boulevard will be signalized and
have a median opening to facilitate safe traffic flow for vehicles leaving
these projects in accordance with the design guidelines and objectives of
the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
The proposed residential lots range in size from 3,280 to 7,038 square
feet with an average lot size of approximately 4,545 square feet. Four
floor plans with three elevations each (not including reverse plans) are
proposed. The four plans range in size from 1,202 to 1,817 square feet.
Plan 1 is the only single story floor plan. The largest plan also has a
side-on garage version that will be used along the main vehicular spine to
break up the potentially repetitive streetscape.
Variance: In conjunction with the subdivision and design review
applications, the applicant has submitted a Variance application to reduce
the minimum side yard building separations, the minimum building-to-curb
setback and the minimum percentage of common open space throughout the
project. The following analyses describe each part of the Variance
request in detail:
Building Separation Reduction: The applicant is proposing to reduce
the required minimum building separations, from 15 feet to a proposed
minimum of 10 feet, in 86 situations through the project. All of the
reduced separations occur in the side yards between units. A 15-foot
minimum building separation is required per the revised multiple
family development standards (Ordinance No. 465). The intent behind
the 15-foot minimum building separation requirement was to create a
proportionally sufficient open space between larger, more massive
multiple unit buildings in attached residential projects. The
multiple family development standards apply to this project since the
site is zoned primarily for multiple family development (Medium
Residential). However, the applicant is proposing to construct a
detached single family project at a density (6.5 dwelling units per
acre) typical of the Low-Medium Residential District. For
comparison, the Low-Medium Residential District allows side yard
building setbacks at a minimum of 5 feet from a shared property line,
thereby allowing adjacent buildings to be separated by 10 feet. Even
though the Development Code allows single family homes 10 feet apart
in the Low and Low-Medium Residential residential zones, the Planning
Co~nission has expressed that side yards should be increased on a
large percentage of lots to allow for recreational vehicle storage in
a visually concealed area. The applicant has stated that the
Covenants, Codes and Restrictions for the project will not permit RV
parking. Therefore, since this project takes on the appearance and
flavor of a project typical to the Low-Medium Residential District
and the applicant is addressing an RV storage issue, staff feels that
the granting of the Variance would not be inconsistent with the
objectives of developing small lot, single family detached
subdivisions within the City. Therefore, staff feels this portion of
the Variance should be granted.

Building-to-curb Separation: The application proposes to reduce the
minimum building-to-curb setback, from 15 feet to a minimum of
8 feet, in 26 situations throughout the project. All of the
situations are in the front yards where the larger, two-story units
are plotted on internal cul-de-sac lots. This standard was also part
of the new multiple family standards. The intent behind the 15-foot
building-to-curb separation was to allow for a landscape area
sufficient for specimen size trees to provide an immediate softening
for the larger scale, multiple unit residential buildings. Since the
applicant is proposing detached homes at a muximum height of two
stories the bulk of the homes will be less than the typical multiple
unit residential building. Therefore, staff feels that the intent
behind the building-to-curb setback does not apply in this
situation. Despite this, the applicant will be providing full front
yard landscaping (a minimum of two trees per front yard, four trees
per corner lot, not including street trees) in each individual
yard. Staff believes that the intent of the 15-foot building-to-curb
setback should not apply to detached single family projects in
multiple family residential zones; therefore, this portion of the
Variance should be granted.
Common Open Space: The applicant is proposing to reduce the common
open space area from 35 to approxi~tely 10 percent of the total net
project area. The applicant contends that their project provides
sufficient open space but, given the product type, a majority of the
open space is located in individual private yards. The Development
Code Table requires projects in the Medium Residential zone to have a
minimum of 35 percent common open space and a total of 40 percent
total open space within project boundaries. The proposed project,
despite having only 10 percent common open space, has approximately
50 percent of the net area in private open space, which amounts to
60 percent total open space, or 20 percent more than the total open
space required for this zone. Furthermore, the total number of
common open space amenities (5) required for a 159 unit residential
project is proposed in the three common open space areas. Staff
believes that the applicant has met the intent of the multiple family
standards by providing the necessary number of conon open space
amenities required for multiple family projects in a single family
project. In addition, the abundance of private open space typical of
a detached residential subdivision adequately substitutes for the
loss of common open space area. Therefore, this portion of the
Variance should be supported.
Pre-Application Workshop: The Planning Commission reviewed a conceptual
site plan, similar to what is now proposed, at a Pre-Application workshop
on June 4, 1992. Generally, the Co~unission felt the "cluster court" cul-
de-sac concept was an acceptable design on this irregnlarly shaped site,
but suggested that those units that front onto the main vehicular spine be
w~ried to a greater extent (i.e., duplex buildings, single story units,
PLANNING CO~ISSION STAFF REPORT

Be
etc.) to eliminate the prominence of garages and introduce a greater
variety of side yard building separations in these areas. In response,
the developer provided greater front setback variation and introduced a
Plan 4 side-on garage plotting on ten lots along the main spine. For
further details of this meeting, please refer to the attached Minutes
(Exhibit "L") dated June 4, 1992.
Neighborhood Meeting: On May 10, 1993, a neighborhood meeting was held to
allow property owners in the immediate vicinity of the site an opportunity
to review the proposal prior to the Planning Commission public hearing.
No objection to the design of the project was raised by attendees of this
meeting.
Design Review Committee: The Co~m%ittee (Vallette, Melcher, Coleman)
reviewed the project on two occasions, most recently on May 4, 1993. At
that meeting, the Co~m%ittee recommended approval of the project subject to
the following conditions:
The Plan 2 elevations should be modified to include stone/brick
veneer against the back wall of the porch, instead of false
window/shutter elements, and wrap around corners to the side return
walls.
2. The chimney caps should be painted to match the chimney stack color.
Adequate lighting for the common open space areas should be provided
to improve functionality and safety, to the satisfaction of the
Planning Division and Rancho Cucamonga Police Department.
The design of the on- and off-street visitor parking areas should be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Division prior to the issuance
of building permits.
The curved planter walls, along the streetscape frontages, should be
extended further in both directions, which will take on the
appearance of walls gradually blending into the undulating berming.
The specific design should be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Division prior to the issuance of grading permits.
The units on Lots 34, 131, and 132 should be set back further from
the recreation areas to the satisfaction of the Planning Division.
The final grading plan should be revised to indicate a lower
combination block/retaining wall and lower building pads for Lots 1
through 8, consistent with the revised grading exhibit shown at the
meeting.
Individual flag lot driveways should be "necked down" to a maximum
width of 12 feet at the driveway approach and include decorative
pavement banding to the satisfaction of the Planning Division.

9. Sectional roll-up garage doors and automatic garage door openers
should be provided on all models.
10. Retaining walls should be composed of decorative masonry materials
and be limited to a maximum height of 4 feet.
11.
Decorative paving materials, such as interlocking concrete pavers,
should be utilized at all key pedestrian crossings, off street
visitor parking areas, common open space areas, entrances to cul-de-
sac streets, long driveways on flag lots, and at project entrances.
12. A minimum 5-foot wide landscape area should be provided between
corner side yard walls and sidewalks along the spine street.
13.
The visitor parking area outside the Foothill Boulevard entrance gate
should be screened from view of the major arterial through the use of
herming, dense landscaping, low walls or any combination thereof, to
the satisfaction of the Planning Division.
14. Wood fencing should be treated with a water sealant.
All of the items have been incorporated into the attached Resolutions of
A~roval for the project.
Technical Review Co~nittee: On April 21, 1993, the Technical Review
Committee reviewed the project and determined that, with the recommended
conditions of approval, the project is consistent with all applicable
standards and ordinances. The Grading Committee reviewed and conceptually
approved the project at its meeting on April 20, 1993.
Tree Removal: In conjunction with the Tentative Tract Map, the applicant
has submitted Tree Removal Permit No. 93-04 for the removal of 177 of the
222 mature trees on the property. An arborist report was prepared for the
site and recommended that 69 of the 222 mature trees remain on the
property because they were in good health and a valuable natural
resource. Prior to the Design Review Committee meetings, the applicant
was proposing to remove 31 of these 69 trees. The primary reasons for the
applicant's proposing to remove these 31 "conflict" trees were poor
structure, proximity to other trees proposed for preservation in place,
and the cost or infeasibility of relocation. In walking the entire site
with the development team, staff and the landscape architect concurred
that it would be feasible to preserve 46 trees on the property.
Therefore, only 23 of the 69 trees originally recommended for preservation
would be removed. A total of 176 trees on the site will require
replacement planting per the City Tree Preservation Ordinance. Staff
recommended conditions of approval pertaining to tree preservation and
r~lacement are included in the attached Resolution of Approval for the
subdivision map.

Historic Preservation Commission: On May 11, 1993, the Historic
Preservation Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
historic significance of the Cucamonga Labor Camp site, used primarily
during the later stages of World War II as an Italian prisoner of war
camp. The Commission recommended that the site be designated a local
historic point of interest and coremorated through the placement of
placards within the rock wall pilasters near the guard gate entrances at
Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route and the main recreation area. The City
Council approved this action at their meeting on June 2, 1993.
Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed
by the applicant. Staff has completed Part II, the Environmental
Checklist, and found that there could be a significant noise impact on
residents if sound attenuation devices (interior and exterior) are not
incorporated into the project design to screen noise impacts created by
traffic on Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route. An acoustical analysis
study prepared for the site recommended that, in order to mitigate noise
to "safe" levels, that a minimum 6-foot high wall be constructed along
both Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route, along the top of the proposed
streetscape berms and/or slopes. These walls are already incorporated
into the conceptual design of the subdivision. Secondly, the project
could have a significant effect on the environment by exposing residents
to the impacts associated with the Red Hill Fault. The northwest portion
of the site is located within the City's Adopted Special Study zone for
the Red Hill Fault. An updated geologic study was provided by the
applicant which concluded, after significant trenching and soil studies,
that the fault did not exist on this site. The City's geologist found the
study sufficient and concurred that the fault could not be in the area of
concern. Therefore, although the project could have a significant effect
on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case
because of the mitigation measures included in the project design and
conditions of approval. If the Commission concurs, then issuance of a
mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order.
FINDINGS:
A. Tentative Tract Map:
The project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
The project will not be detrimental to the public health or safety or
cause nuisance or significant adverse environmental impacts.
The project's use, subdivision map, and conceptual plans, together
with the conditions of approval, are in compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Development Code and City standards.

REQUEST FOR VARIANCE
LET1FER OF JUSTIFICATION/EXPLANATION
Environmental Setting
The subject property is located on the southwest comer of Foothill Boulevard and
Cucamonga Creek, north of Arrow Route Highway, in the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, C~llfornia. The site is bounc~ed by a flood control channel to the east, by
vacant land, a mobile home park and residences to the west, by Foothill Boulevard
to the north and by Arrow Route Highway to the south.
The subject property consists of a near rectangular shaped parcel of vacant land
covering approximately 24.3 acres. At the time of this investigation, the site is
vacant of any structures, The southern portion of the property exhibits remnants of
former structures.
In general, the property gently slopes to the south and south-east, with an overall
vertical relief of approximately 65 feet from the northwest to the southeast. It
appears that fills had been places adjacent to the easterly property line near the
middle portion of the site in the past up to approximately l0 to 15 feet in height. The
fill mater~{.~ consist of sand and gravel mixture with cobbles and boulders.
Surface vegetation at the site consisted of a moderate growth of grasses, weeds and
scattered trees. The open space designations on the proposed plan provide for the
preservation of many of more significant trees on the site.
Proposed Land Use
The proposed land use is for the planned unit development c~il~ for 159 single
family detached patio homes on lots which average just over 4,650 sq. ft. with a
recreation center and open park space. The proposed gross density is 6.5 units per
acre and is compatible with residential (LM) zoning which allows for up to a
maximum of 8.0 units per acre in accordance with the Optional Development
Standards.
Current Zoning
The current zoning for the property callu for Medium Residential (lV0 which would
allow for up to 14 units pe~ acre under the Optional Development Standard or 340
units. This zoning is essentially geared for multi-family attached product for which
various set back and open space issues may well apply. However, market research
and conshiner demand does not support the higher density attached products and
therefore the applicant is requesting a lower density development consisting of 159
single family detached homes designed as part of a somewhat unique and
innovative site planning concept utilizing a combination of clusters, wide and
shallow units and traditional patio homes. This approach provides a lot of interest
and variation on the street scene while blending pockets of common and private
open space through out the development.
Compatibility
The proposed residential project represents a good 'fit' into the surrounding context
of existing residential products. As previously described, the property is bounded by
a trailer park to the west for which a defined private access is provided for as part of
this proposed plan. The two entrances to the proposed project would ~1~o be
equipped with a gate guard system provided a sense of privacy and security for the
residents. The proposed location for the Foothill entrance, which serves both the
existing b-~iler park and the proposed development, is compatible with the Foothill
Specific Plan for median locations. This solution would resolve the t/aific concerns
as currently exist with regard to the t~ailer park project and provide an attractive and
sa/e entry feature for both projects.
Request for Variance
As currently proposed, the project will require three variances: 1) to reduce the
minimum 15 foot building separations, and/or the 10 foot interior side yard setback
requirements; 2) to reduce the 15 foot building to curb setbacks throughout the
project; and 3) to reduce the required common open space from 35 to approximately
10 percent.
The variances as requested would all be compatible with the Low Medium Zoning
(LM) for residential projects. The justification for a variance from the standard
Medium Zoning requirements are evident by the product type and density being
proposed.
1) The required 15 foot buildl,ag separation between bulldlr~gs makes sense for the
larger buildings associated with multi-family attached product. However, the
smaller mass of the single family units as proposed justifies a reduction in building
separation to 10 feet which is typical for detached dwellings.
2) The building setbacks in the proposed development vary from as little as 8 feet
from the curb to as much as 60 feet with the typical being 18 feet or more. All units
will be equipped with automatic garage door openers. These setbacks exceed those as
required by the Medium Zoning. The minimum interior site boune!~Sr setback is
proposed at 15 feet as opposed to the 20 feet as req,,ired by the Medium Zoning for
attached multi-family product. Again, the 15 foot dimension is appropriate for
single family detached product and is compatible with the Low Medi~m Zoning
requirement.
3) The open space req~irement for Medium Zoning calls for 35 percent in common
open space and approximately 5 percent in private open space bringing the total
usable open space to approximately 40 percent. The proposed development allocates
more private open space to the individ-~l units and less common open space which
is appropriate for detached product and compatible with the Low Medi~m Zoning.
The project provides for 10 percent in .common open space and approximately 50
percent in private open space bringing the total usable open space to approximately
60 percent! This exceeds the open space req-lrement for not only the Medium Zone
(40%) but also the Low Medium Zone (45%).
Conclusion
Due to the fact that all the variance issues as requested are compatible with the
requirements of the Low Medium Zoning, it is the applicants request that the
variance application be processed concurrently with the Tentative Map, with a
condition placed on the variance that a Zone Change and General Plan
Amen_drnent, changing to Zoning and General Plan designation from Medium to
Low Medium Residential, be approved prior to recordation of the final map.

PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW 92-03 - FU MAI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Review of the
conceptual site planning for a 25 acre site located west of Vineyard Avenue
between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, opened the workshop by explaining the purpose of
the Pre-Application review process and the history of its formation. He then
outlined the presentation procedures for the applicant and Commission and
presented a summary of the site history.
Steve Hayes, Associate Planner, presented an overview of the proposed site
plan and highlighted potential discussion topics for Commission consideration.
Loren Smets, Smmts Architectural Group, addressed staff's issues as outlined
by Mr. Hayes. He shared the positive and negative aspects of alternative lot
design approaches (zero lot line, Z lot, etc.) and commented that the proposed
center plot, cluster approach made the most sense for this site. He indicated
that the common open space areas were planned around existing healthy native
tree areas and that the amount of co~on open space complies with the
requirements for single family development in the Low Medium Residential Zone,
where the proposed product type is normally found.
Mr. Bullet again summarized staff's concerns.
Commissioner Melcher felt that if the project can be approved with private
streets and single family lots, then the single product type plotted centrally
on the lots was acceptable in this area. He asked if a 36-foot pavement width
was a minimum width requirement.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, responded that a 36-foot pavement width is
required in order to allow vehicular parking on both sides of the street.
Commissioner Melcher suggested that the visitor parking spaces on the cul-de-
sac streets be deleted. He felt that the 35 percent common open space was not
intended for this product type and 10 percent was acceptable in this
situation. He liked the cul-de-sac street design and felt it was an
outstanding approach to planning the site. He suggested that the southerly
dogleg be at more of an angle, as the Arrow Route entrance appeared
"squeezed." He also felt vehicular parking should be limited to one side of
the vehicular spine street.
Commissioner Chitlea felt the product type and cul-de-sac street design had
merit, but the streets should be designed to meet the City's criteria for
local public streets. She stressed that open space should be common open
space equally accessible to all residents within the project. She favored the
variation of lot shapes along the cul-de-sac streets and the barbecue pits in
the common open space areas.
Commissioner Tolstoy agreed the streets could be private but he felt they
should be designed to meet current local public street standards. He also
liked the short cul-de-sac street design approach, creating small
neighborhoods within a neighborhood, and the barbecues in common open space
areas. He felt that the cul-de-sac streets need vehicular parking areas, the
streets should meander to a greater extent and the Arrow Route entrance should
be upgraded. He summarized by expressing his satisfaction with the site
planning approach, in that he thought it was a good solution for a difficult
property.
Commissioner Vallette shared similar comments relative to her acceptance of
the proposed product type, her concern that streets should be designed to
local public street standards, and the needed enhancement of the Arrow
entry. Overall, she felt the project had merit as proposed.
Chairman McNlel expressed his concern with the view created by having a
considerable number of garage doors in areas where homes are proposed to front
onto the vehicular spine. He suggested that some units could become attached
duplexes or sero lot line homes with shared driveways in these areas to break
up the garage door repetition. He observed that a "T" intersection may work
better in areas where tight radius curves are proposed. He agreed that the
cul-de-sac street design was an acceptable design approach and liked the
common open space design.
Mr. Bullet summarized the Commission's comments by observing that they
supported the site planning approach if duplex or triplex unit plans for lots
that front the main vehicular spine are incorporated and all streets are
designed to meet local public street standards. He indicated the
Planning Commission Minutes
-2- June 4, 1992
· 'L-O
COmllsioners had mixed feelings about the common open space requirement but a
variance could be processed to allow for the proposed reduction.
Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, summarized the history behind the revised
multiple family development standards, stating that the common open space
percentage requirement was based on the assumption that multiple family
development would occur in the Medium Residential Zone.
Commissioner Tolstoy felt that flexibility should be considered in this
situation.
Mr. Bullet closed by stating the Commissions consensus for upgrading the Arrow
Route vehicular entrance, undulating the central spine to a greater extent,
and the overall acceptance of the cul-de-sac street/unit cluster approach.

(f) The proposed 10-foot building separation is permitted in
lower density single family residential zones governed by the Development
Code, typical of the proposed density; and
(g) The variance for the minimum building to front curb setback
of 15 feet is needed to allow homes as close as 8 feet from the front curb in
26 situations throughout the project; and
(h) The minimum 15-foot building to curb setback requirement
also stems from the multiple family development standards. The intent of this
standard is to allow for a landscape setback area of sufficient size to grow
large trees to soften the appearance of the larger, more bulky multiple unit
residential buildings; and
(i) Front yard landscaping is required and conceptually shown in
the plan package to aid in softening the appearance of the less massive
detached homes from view of the private streets; and
(j) The variance for the reduction in common open space from 35
to 10 percent is needed to construct an individual lot single family detached
subdivision on the property; and
(k) The Development Code Table 17.08.040(c) requires 35 percent
common open space, 40 percent total open space (private and common) for
development in the Medium Residential Development District, Optional
Development Standards; and

(1) The application contemplates only 10 percent common open
space area, but 50 percent of the net lot area as private open space for a
total open space percentage of 60 percent, well in excess of the 40 percent
total open space required by the Development Code; and
(m) The application includes the required minimum number of
common open space amenities (5) per Ordinance No. 465.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
(a) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
(b) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district.
(c) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.
(d) That the granting of the
grant of special privilege inconsistent
properties classified in the same district.
Variance will not constitute a
with the limitations on other
(e) That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.

The following comments should be forwarded to the applicant as conditions to
approval of this project by the Planning Commission.
The building in question has been identified as an unretnforced masonry
building subject to repair by structurally upgrading or by demolition.
Per previous agreements, the City will allow partial retrofit on a tenant-
by-tenant basis until May, 1995, at which time structural upgrade of the
ent(.re structure must be complete.
Plans must be prepared by a California licensed architect or registered
engineer, and submitted for approval to Building and Safety. These plans
must reflect compliance to all locally adopted codes and ordinances.
Based upon our initial review, the proposed use most closely resembles an
amusement facility. As suc~ it may be classified as an A-4 occupancy, per
the Uniform Building Code.
The proposed occupancy presents several challenges with respect to general
building code compliance, particularly relating to the exiting
provisions. An exiting plan/scheme must be provided which reflects a
proactive approach to exiting people from all areas of the proposed tenant
space. Particular consideration must be given to occupants within the
proposed "catacombs' area. Issues relating to exiting include, but are
not limited to, path of travel, exit si~nage, emergency lighting, exiting
through adjoining areas, possible corridor protection and dead end
corridor limitations (based upon an approved occupant load), etc.
4. Plans must reflect all necessary construction details and wall and ceiling
finish information.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-18 - JONES - A request to establish an
indoor paintball recreation facility in a 14,000 square foot
warehouse within the Biane Winery complex on 6.7 acres of land in
the General Industrial District (Subarea 5) of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan, located at 10013 8th Street - APN: 209-201-19 and
20.
PBDJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
Site Characteristics: The site is the historic Biane Winery complex which
is made up of the large winery building along 8th Street and a number of
smaller buildings to the south. Mature landscaping exists throughout the
site, and parking is located south and east of the main building.
B. Parking Calculations:

Extra parking 5
TOTAL 138 143
* NOTE: In the absence of any specific Code requirement, staff
reco~ends these parking ratios for this unique business.
ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to
operate an indoor paintball recreation and training facility within the
14,000 square foot warehouse portion of the Biane Winery complex. The
application contemplates construction of a mock city "playing field"
consisting of various wood frame buildings/facades. Several different
businesses lease floor space within the complex. The businesses include a
catering and banquet operation, an auto repair business, a storage and
I'r~I C
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-18 - JONES

Page 2
distribution business, a small machine shop, and an electrical contractor,
as well as the leasing office for the winery. These tenants operate
during regular business hours, with the exception of the banquet facility,
which also has events on the weekends.
Paintball is a fairly new sport which is typically played outdoors, but a
number of indoor facilities also exist; one is located in Gardena,
California. In addition to the recreational activity for the general
public, the applicant plans to have law enforcement agencies use the
facility for officer training. In his letter, the applicant proposes to
operate from noon to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 10
p.m., Saturday and Sunday. No more than 30 players will be permitted at
any one time and the maximum number of employees during any shift will be
five. Because of the limited number of players in any one game,
reservations will be encouraged and will have priority over walk-in
customers. Planning staff does not anticipate any conflicts with the
existing tenants or with adjacent properties.
Be
Historic Issues: Although the winery complex is clearly historically
significant, it has not been officially designated because of reluctance
by the property owner. In allowing the proposed use, care will be taken
to assure that any modifications to the building will not preclude its
historic designation.
Ce
Building and Fire Issues: After an informal meeting with the Building and
Safety Division, it appears that there may be significant life safety
issues which will need to be addressed prior to occupancy. According to
Building and Safety staff, the easterly section of the building, which the
applicant intends to lease, has not been seismically upgraded and cannot
be occupied until this has been done. Building and Fire Code issues will
be addressed through the normal plan check process. Staff will provide an
oral update on these issues at the hearing.
RECO~IENDATION: Staff recomends that the Planning Comission approve
Conditional Use Permit 93-18 through adoption of the attached Resolution of
Approval.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 93-08 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS - A
request to construct a 33,000 square foot retail building (Circuit
City) and a 23,500 square foot retail building (Office Depot)
within a previously approved conmlercial retail center in the
Regional Related Congnercial designation (Subarea 4) of the Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan, located south of Foothill Boulevard, east
of 1-15 - APN: 229-031-41.
ABSTRACT: This application is the detailed review of the 2 remaining major
tenants of Foothill Marketplace - Office Depot within the eastern phase and
Circuit City within the western phase.
BACKGROUND: On February 24 and April 14, 1993, the Planning Commission
approved plans for the eastern and western phases, respectively, of Foothill
Marketplace. The approvals established the circulation, parking, and
architectural style for the phases. In each case, the major tenants now
proposed were omitted from consideration because the tenants had not been
secured.
ANALYSIS:
General: Circuit City will be located ingnediately west of Wal-Mart.
Circuit City is designed with an off-set tower at the main entry. An arch
has been inset into the tower that will be finished with a burgundy tile
field. A second tower with burgundy field will be provided at the
southwest corner of the building. The balance of the building will be
designed utilizing materials consistent with the center (e.g., pre-cast
cornice, wainscot, and columns, a free-standing trellis, etc.).
Office Depot will be located immediately east of Price Club. Office Depot
is designed with a gabled roof entry similar to the design of Michaels,
which was previously approved with the balance of the eastern phase. The
building will incorporate elements consistent with the balance of the
center.
Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the
original plans on May 4, 1993. At that time, the Con~aittee recommended
that revised plans be provided to address the following:
I'r~M D

Circuit City
The tower height was not proportionate with the balance of the
building. Sketches should be provided to depict the lowering of the
tower and/or lowering of the tower in conjunction with raising the
parapet height.
A sketch should be provided to depict how the depressed loading
spaces will be designed.
3. The front elevations should be revised to:
a) Extend the trellis to the east and west.
b) The arches should be eliminated (excluding the tower).
c) The planters should be concentrated into one large planter.
The side elevation should provide a bolder statement. Suggestions
include combining the small lattice arches into a larger arch,
providing a furred-out element, etc.
5e
The burgundy tile stripes at the base of the cornice should be
eliminated.
The "Customer Pick-Up" can sign should be relocated adjacent to the
customer pick-up door under the canopy.
Office Depot
The entry tower should be redesigned to provide a better transition
between the roof and the columns.
On May 18, 1993, the Design Review Committee (Melcher, Vallette, Coleman)
reviewed the revised plans submitted by the applicant. The Committee
recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
Circuit City
The depressed loading area design provided by the applicant is
adequate.
2. The square arcade openings west of the entry should be increased in
height to compensate for the increased height of the parapet.
3. The partial parapet east of the entry tower should be extended south
to look more like an integral part of the building.
The planter east of the entry should be expanded to allow tree
planting.

EVALUATION AND COMMENT ON PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR SCHOOL SITE IN
ALTA LOMA - ALTA LOMA SCHOOL DISTRICT Pursuant to State Law
(Public Resources Section 21151.2), the School District requests
that the Planning Co~ission comment on a proposed 13 acre
elementary school site located at the southeast corner of the
Chaffey Community College site - APN: 201-191-15, southeast
portion.
ABSTRACT: This report provides general information about the proposed
elementary school site and identifies preliminary issues to be addressed. The
Commission will be asked to make recommendations to the Alta Loma School
District at your July 14, 1993 regularly scheduled meeting.
BACKGROUND: On June 9, 1993, the Planning Division received written
notification from Alta Loma School District of its intent to acquire a site in
Alta Lom~ for a future elementary school. State Law (Public Resources
Section 21151.2) requires school districts to notify the Planning Co~ission
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 recommendations to the school district for
its consideration and reco~endations should be made within thirty days.
Following receipt of the City's recommendation, the final decision on the
acquisition is made by the school district governing board.

Site Characteristics: Much of the site is level turfed athletic fields
built up with fill from neighboring residential developments to the
east. Westerly on the site is unimproved land and a vehicle storage yard,
and mature pine trees border the athletic fields. A 30-foot high slope
bordering Banyan Street is planted with a variety of groundcovers, shrubs
and Eucalyptus trees.

date and rather short
those areas which have
The remainder of the
Conformance with the General Plan and Development Code: The General Plan
identifies the site as Chaffey College and no other school is proposed for
the immediate area. A future school is identified for the area near
Archibald Avenue and Banyan Street. The General Plan Technical Update was
adopted in 1988 and reflects the proposed locations of schools within the
community, as was provided by the various school districts at that time.
The use of part of the Chaffey College site for an elementary school does
not appear to be in conflict with the General Plan Goals or Policies. The
future association may be beneficial to both institutions.
Site Constraints: Although no site plan was submitted with the notice
from the School District, it is our understanding that they are
considering an approximately 13 acre parcel of land at the southeast
corner of the college property. At the writing of this report we were
unable to make a more precise map of the proposed parcel available for
Co~mnission review.
Access to the proposed site will become an issue upon subdivision of the
college property. Current City policy requires all parcels to have access
to a fully dedicated and maintained City street. An%her Lane, extending
2,900 feet from Haven Avenue to the subject site, is a private street. If
~le college agrees to dedicate Amber Lane, a second means of public access
will also be required, with both accesses brought up to current street
standards. Although the proposed site may have frontage along Banyan
Avenue, the approximately 30-foot high slope on the north side of Banyan
Street would be difficult to take access across.
The slope on the north side of Banyan Avenue, which extended the existing
pad in the southeast corner of the property, was installed about 4 years
ago. This was done as a private arrangement between the college and a
nearby developer with no City involvement or review. It is suggested that
the school district research the stability (soil condition) of the site
(for school construction purposes) before deciding to purchase it.
If the site does have Banyan frontage, installation of parkway
improvements would be a condition of development, including curb and
gutter, street lights, sidewalk and street trees. Development of the site
will increase runoff and trigger the requirement to extend the City Master
Plan Storm Drain north of Banyan Avenue from a stubout at the southeast
corner of this site. Site drainage shall be directed to the storm drain
system.
