TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE TRAC'f 13564 - AKINS - A request for an
extension of a previously approved County tract map consisting of
182 lots on 117 acres of land, located north of Summit Avenue and
east of Wardman Bullock Road - APN: 226-082-24, 25, and 26.
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 13564 was approved by the County of San
Bernardino on August 24, 1987, and revised by the County Planning Commission
on November 17, 1988. It includes five phases on 117 acres. An Annexation
Agreement was approved by the Rancho Cucamonga City Council and entered into
as of January 7, 1989. According to Section 3.7 of the Development Agreement,
Tract 13564 was due to expire on August 24, 1990. The applicant was granted
one-year Time Extensions on August 22, 1990; June 12, 1991; and September 23,
1992, extending the tract until August 24, 1993.
During this time period the tentative map underwent a substantial modification
which was approved by the Planning Commission on November 14, 1990, at a
public hearing. The City Attorney has determined that the five-year time
limit on the tentative tract map is counted as from the 1990 approval date,
rather than from the original approval date. Therefore, the tract map then
has the potential to remain active until November 14, 1995.
The applicant is currently requesting a one-year time extension to
November 14, 1994.
ANALYSIS: Staff has analyzed the proposed Time Extension and has compared the
proposal with the development criteria outlined in the Development and
Annexation Agreements. Based upon this review, staff determined that the
project meets the requirements of the Development and Annexation Agreements.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Commission must make all of the following findings in
order to approve this application:
ae
There have been no significant changes in the Land Use element of the
General Plan, Development Code, or character of the area which would cause
the project to become inconsistent or non-conforming.
The granting of an extension would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.

Subject: Time Extension Tentative Tract 13564
Dear Brad,
The purpose of this letter is to request a one year time extension for Tentative Tract 13564 located north
of 24th Street and east of Wardman Bullock Road in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The existing Tract
Map was approved by the Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission on November 14, 1990 and is due
to expire on that date this year.
As you are aware, the previous developer stopped processing final maps in 1991. Since that time, there
has been no development activity within this Tract. The time extension will allow us time to complete
the recordation of the tract and proceed with our purchase and development of the property.
Per the City's request, I have enclosed the following information to allow you to process our extension:
* Uniform Application
* Fee of $549.00
* Letter of authorization from owner
Brad, we appreciated the time you spent meeting with us on this project and look forward to an enjoyable
relationship with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. If you have any questions or if I can be of any further
service, do not hesitate to call me at (909) 353-1945.
Sincerely',

TIME EXTENSION FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 89-12 - DAVIES - A request
for a time extension for the development of Phases II and III of an
industrial complex, containing six industrial buildings totaling
22,940 square feet on 2.2 acres of land in the General Industrial
District (Subarea 3) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located
on Feron Boulevard east of Helms Avenue - APN: 209-031-87 and 88.
BACKGROUND: The request for approval of six industrial buildings on Feron
Boulew~rd and Helms Avenue was originally reviewed by the Planning Co,~ission
on April 11, 1990. At that meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed several
outstanding design issues, since the applicant was not in agreement with
Design Review Committee recommendations. The request was continued to
April !5, 1990, in order to allow the Commission members that reviewed the
proje~: during Design Review the opportunity to hear the item. One of the
major issues discussed at the April 25, 1990 meeting was the utilization of
sl,,mpstone block which was used on the first phase of the project. The item
was denied by the Planning Commission and was subsequently appealed to the
City Council by the applicant.
The appeal was heard by the City Council on June 20, 1990. At that meeting,
staff requested, with the consent of the applicant's attorney, to continue the
public hearing to July 18, 1990, in order to allow time to meet with the
applicant and work out a solution to the outstanding architectural, site
planning, and landscaping issues. Staff and the applicant worked out a
compromise which allowed for slumpstone block to be used in all buildings of
Phases II and III, which would keep the design of all the buildings
consistent. In return, the applicant agreed to certain architectural, site
plan, and landscape upgrades consistent with the original Design Review
Committee recommendations. The applicant's proposal addressed all but one of
the original Design Review concerns, that being the use of slumpstone block.
The a~?licant's proposal did include a new building design for a portion of
Phase ]CI and all of Phase III which was different in appearance and improved
in comparison with the existing buildings in Phase I. This revised project
was finally approved by the City Council on August 1, ~990, for a two-year
period ending August 1, 1992.

August 25, 1993
Page 2
Since the time of approval by the City Council on August l, ~990, the
applicant has proceeded through both the grading plan check and building plan
check process. Grading permits were issued on February 27, ~992. Building
permits were approved for issuance by the Planning Division on August 13,
1991, although they were never issued. A one-year time extension was granted
by the Planning Commission on September 23, 1992. The applicant is currently
requesting an additional one-year time extension to August 1, ~994. One
additional time extension could potentially be approved by the Planning
Co~ission.
ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed the time extension request and the Development
Review file for compliance with the Industrial Area Specific Plan, the
Development Code, and the General Plan. The project is consistent with
technical requirements such as setbacks and landscaping and design
requirements as defined by the Industrial Area Specific Plan for Subarea 3.
At the time of approval in 1990, all applicable development standards,
consistent with the Industrial Area Specific Plan, were applied to the
project.
~ECO~MENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve a
one-year time extension for Development Review 89-12 through adoption of the
attached Resolution of Approval.

1993. I am requesting an extension of time for a period of three
years for the reasons below.
The economic times are not conducive to building nor leasing at
this time, it also does not look like things will change for a
long period. I have an opportunity to lease the site pending a
Conditional Use Permit now filed with the Planning Department.
That C.U.P. as requested, is an interim Non-Constructive C.U.P.
for a period of 3 years. The 3 years is significate because this
is the prospective tenant's (Mayflower/Omni-Trans) contract
period.
At the end of the Mayflower/Omni-Trans lease I would like to
continue to build the Industrial Park, DR 89-12. Both you and I
have expended a lot of time and money on this project to let it
expire now and therefore I make this request.
Enclosed is the fee for the extension. If you need anything from
me please contact me right away.
Sincerely,
·

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-20 - EN AGAPE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP - A
request to establish a church in an existing building totaling
12,825 square feet on 1.1 acres of land in the General Industrial
District (Subarea 3) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located
at 9215 Arrow Route - APN: 209-012-09.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
ae
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Single family residential; Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units
per acre)
South - Vacant; Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 2 (General
Industrial)
East - Industrial; Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 3 (General
Industrial)
West - Vacant; Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 3 (General
Industrial)
Site Characteristics: The site is fully developed with a 12,825 square
foot industrial manufacturing building and related parking. The parking
area flows seamlessly into the parking area of the adjoining industrial
building because both properties were developed together under common
ownership. The property has on-site driveway access to Arrow Route and
previously accessed Hellman Avenue across the adjoining property. Mature
landscaping exists along the Arrow Route frontage and along portions of
the building.
ANALYSIS:
ae
General: The En Agape Christian Fellowship is proposing to move from
their present location (at Beryl and 19th Street) to an existing concrete
tilt-up industrial building on the south side of Arrow Route, a half-block
west of Hellman Avenue. The church intends to purchase the property and
would be the single occupant of the building.
The church services would be held on Sundays, with smaller groups meeting
in the evenings and on weekends for bible studies, choir practice, etc.
The church has a pastoral care and counseling ministry which would use the
ITEM C
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-20 - EN AGAPE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

building throughout the week for training counselors in small classes
(i.e., maximum 20). Church staff would occupy the offices during the week
for administrative and various ministry functions.
Proposed improvements include a 2,000 square foot multi-purpose room that
would be used for services and other gatherings. Wallpak lighting is
proposed to be added to the exterior for security. The existing bathrooms
will be modified to meet all handicap requirements. The church is also
requesting, as part of this application, the potential to convert the
warehouse storage space into a gymnasium (the church acknowledges that
extensive remodeling would be needed to comply with building codes). In
addition, the church proposes to restripe the parking lot to improve
ingress and egress frc~ their driveway and provide 61 parking spaces.
Issues: The primary issues associated with locating this type of use
within an industrial setting are compatibility with surrounding businesses
and parking availability.
Compatibility with surrounding uses: The only adjoining use is the
vacant industrial building to the west. With the proposed parking
lot restriping, the two users will have distinct parking and
circulation. The buildings are approximately 130 feet apart. The
proposed hours of operation for church activities will be during off-
peak hours in the evenings and weekends. The only hours for
potential conflict between the church and the future tenant to the
west would be on Sunday during church services. Typically,
manufacturers do not operate on Sundays. Even if they do, there is
ample parking for the church in close proximity on-site. The City
has many churches operating without conflict in industrial
complexes. The site is across the street fro~ a single family
residential neighborhood. These homes front onto Arrow Route;
however, their garage access is off a rear alley. The existing
mature landscaping, wall, and width of Arrow Route provides adequate
buffering between the church activity and the residences. Therefore,
no compatibility problems are expected.
Parking: A total of 57 parking spaces are required based upon a
2,000 square foot sanctuary without fixed seating (~ space per
35 square feet). The proposed site plan indicates that 61 parking
spaces will be provided. The church proposes 2~0 seats within the
sanctuary area. Staff believes that sufficient parking will exist
for the intended use.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Co-~,~ssion must make all of the following findings in
order to approve this application:
That the proposed use is in accordance with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the Industrial
Specific Plan in which the site is located.

~lat the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity.
C. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Industrial Area Specific Plan and the Development Code.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and
notices have been sent to adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the
project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recoaunends that the Planning Commission approve
Conditional Use Permit 93-20 through the adoption of the attached Resolution
of Approval.

.To W~m It May Concern:
I~ May of 1980 .Dr. Harold R. Dewberry became senior pastor of the King of Glory
Lutheran ChUrch, located on the southeast corner of 19th Street and Beryl in Alta Loma. Under
his leadership,' the church subsequently separated from the Lutheran Synod, and became En
Agape christian Fellowship, a non-denominational church.
The church developed a Pastoral Care and Counseling ministry, reaching out to other
churches and groups (locally, throughout the U.S., and internationally) to train pastoral care
counselors. This training opportunity also draws counselors and pastors from many nations to
participate in small, 'in-depth classes. International ministry tours and seminars are handled under
the banner of Dewhew/Ministries, Inc., a California non-profit corporation, which maintains
administrative offices. within the En Agape facility.
Another facet of the ministry is the administration of extended family homes, wherein
retired or .semi-retired couples become "parents" to trainee counselors and counselees who
live-in on a 'short term basis.-'Part of the vision for ministry is to 'encourage retired men and

_Christian_.Fello.v~ship..~conducts .seminars open to the community on addictions,' multiple
personality disorders, marriage and family relationships, teenage conflicts, and other relevant
topics. Seminar speakers are often drawn from area hospitals and counseling centers.
Dr. Harold Dewberry and his wife, Sandy, moved from Arizona to become California
resident~ in May of 1980. They are supportive of programs which benefit the local community.
Both are actively involved in volunteer work at their children's schools in the Alta Loma School
District,. and encourage trainee counselors to become involved in community service projects as

PROJECT DRSCRIPTION
En Agape Christian Fellowship, currently located at the
southeast corner of 19th Street and Beryl Avenue, is
proposing to move to the subject property. The proposed
location includes a 12,825 sq. ft. concrete tilt-up building
fully improved with offices, storage, and open office spaces
on a 1.1 acre parcel. We propose to convert one of the open
offices into an approximately 2,000 sq. ft. assembly space
for the churches Sunday services. This multi-purpose room
will be improved with a fixed raised platform.
ThE; remaining offices will be used on a weekday basis for the
churches daily business. This includes church
administration, counseling of individuals and groups,
counseling training, and occasional evening meetings. In the
distant future, the warehouse space may be converted into a
gymnasium. This will require extensive remodeling to satisfy
building code issues; however, we would like to include this
future use within this C.U.P. Application.
Restrooms will be remodeled to meet current Title 24 handicap
and "ADA" standards.
The existing vehicular circulation for this parcel and the
adjacent parcel to the east enters the adjacent parcel, loops
around their parking and exits onto Arrow Route through this
parcel's driveway. A reciprocal access easement does not
exist and the owner of the adjacent parcel will not provide
the easement. Therefore,. the church will re-stripe a portion
.of their parking lot to redirect the vehicular circulation.
The proposed striping will allow ingress and egress from the
par'cel's existing driveway on Arrow Route. Diagonal parking
stalls are used as not enough distance exists to accommodate
a perpendicular double loaded drive aisle at current
standards.
Wallpak lighting will be added to the building for additional
security.
Existing landscape and vegetation is mature and no additional
landscaping is required.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-22 - DAVIES - A request for an interim use
to allow vehicle storage on 7.6 acres of land in the General
Industrial District (Subarea 3) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan,
located at 9449 Feron Boulevard - APN: 209-032-23.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
Action Requested by Applicant: The applicant has requested the approval of
an interim use for a parking and vehicle storage area.
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Vacant (Approved DR 89-12 Phase III); Industrial Area Specific
Plan
(Subarea 3 - General Industrial)
South - AT&SF Railroad; Industrial Area Specific Plan; (Subarea 3 -
General Industrial)
East Vacant; Industrial Area Specific Plan (Subarea 3 - General
Industrial)
West Construction Service Yard and Office; Industrial Area Specific
Plan (Subarea 3 - General Industrial)
General Plan Designations:
Project Site - General Industrial
North - General Industrial
So~th - General Industrial
East - General Industrial
West - General Industrial
Site Characteristics: The site is the location of an approved industrial
project consisting of six industrial buildings, (Development
Review 89-12). The project site is vacant but has been rough graded. Feron
Boulevard, which fronts the project site to the north, is currently under
construction.
ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing that a portion of the Development
Review 89-12 site, specifically Phase II, be utilized as an interim use for
vehicle storage. (The approved project would remain valid concurrently with
use of the site as an interim use.) Interim Uses are permitted by the
Industrial Area Specific Plan for a period of five years. The Industrial
Ar~ Specific Plan requires that such uses shall not preclude full
development of the site and that no permanent buildings are constructed.

The purpose of the Interim Use Standards is to establish minimum standards
for setbacks, landscaping, screening, and parking. The following items
should be noted on the attached plans:
The parking area is proposed to be surfaced with rock or slag. This is
permissible under the Interim Use Standards.
The buses will be screened from public view (Feron Boulevard) by a
chain link fence with wooden slats. This is permitted by the
Industrial Area Specific Plan.
3e
Parkway landscaping is proposed to consist of bermed turf areas and
trees. The Industrial Area Specific Plan requires 15-gallon size trees
and 5-gallon shrubs to afford maximum screening from public view.
A reciprocal driveway easement and storm drain easement is located
along the east project boundary; therefore, landscape screening has not
been required in this area.
Full street improvements and landscaping consistent with the approved
Development Review 89-12 have been provided along Feron Boulevard.
6. Parking on the site has been striped with 25-foot by 10-foot spaces in
order to accommodate large com~uter-size vans but not full size buses.
A drainage easement is located along the south project boundary
adjacent to the AT&SF railroad. An existing 8-foot block wall is
located along the perimeter of the project site for screening purposes.
Environmental Assessment: Staff has determined that the Negative
Declaration previously issued for related Development Review 89-12 on the
same site is sufficient for this project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Co~nission approve
Conditional Use Permit 93-22 through adoption of the attached Resolution of
Approval and issue a Negative Declaration.

ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing to relocate their existing Montessori
Academy in Pomona to a new facility in the Vineyard West Office Park.
C].ass hours are proposed from 7:50 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. with extended
programs available until 4:30 p.m. A closed campus is proposed, except
some students may have permission to leave the facility for lunch. The
applicant expects to have between 50 and 75 students and 7 employees,
ir~cluding administrators in the first school year, with potential for
growth in the student population of up to 125 students by the third
year. The students will range from 10 to 18 years of age. The applicant
expects approximately equal thirds of elementary age, junior high age and
high school age students to attend the school. Six classrooms, an
administrative office, a reception area, and rest rooms are shown on the
proposed floor plan (see Exhibit "C").
No outdoor play areas are proposed at this time; however, the applicant
plans to hold supervised physical education classes at the nearby Bear
Gulch Park during school hours. The Commission may recall the discussion
and concerns they raised concerning Wise Oak School's use of a nearby
public park. The Commission expressed concerns about safety of children
walking across a busy street which was unsignalized and had no STOP
signs. The project was ultimately approved with a plan for a van shuttle
until such time as the intersection was posted as a four-way STOP and a
painted crosswalk installed or a traffic signal installed. However, the
Montessori Academy students will cross Vineyard at the signalized
intersection on Arrow Route.
Regarding Montessori's proposed use of a public park on a regular basis,
the situation is similar to that of Wise Oak School: both parks in
question are "non-reservable." Wise Oak School also had an indoor
g~nasium for physical education. Therefore, staff recommends that the
same condition as was applied to Wise Oak School be used here; that is,
a~{ regular use of a public park by Montessori shall be subject to review
and approval of the Community Services Department.
A ]majority of the students will be dropped off and picked up by parents.
The applicant has noted that a well-formed car pool system is already in
operation for the current Rancho Cucamonga students.
For those students in the outlying communities that the school services
(Chino, Diamond Bar, Pomona, Claremont) a van pool service will be
provided from the existing Claremont facility. The school has one van and
will store it at the Claremont site when not in service.
In a conversation with the school administrator, she stressed that the
school discourages the students of driving age from driving to school by
requiring parental and the school director's permission, and proof of
in~urance to be on file. Last year, only three students had permission to
drive to and from school.

The applicant anticipates that this facility will be needed for all grades
for the next three years. At that time, they hope to move the upper grade
students to a new facility in the community. For further information
about the use and school history, please refer to Exhibit "D").
Issues: In analyzing the proposed Conditional Use Permit, two specific
issues may be associated with the use as follows:
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 5, which includes the proposed use, is
a 12,000 square foot building. Currently, only 3,000 square feet of
the building is occupied. 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.
Parking: The unique nature of the Montessori School's operation
makes it difficult to calculate parking requirements. The
Development Code requires 2 parking spaces for every elementary and
junior high classroom. For high school grades, the requirement is
1 parking space for every 6 students plus 1 for each school
employee. The school is proposed with six classrooms; however, at
Montessori students of all grade levels are mixed together in a
study hall from which students go to individual classrooms depending
on their course schedule. With an estimated mixture of 48 high
school students (38 percent x 125 total student body), the Code
would require 15 parking spaces (8 for students plus 7 for
employees). Student arrival times are staggered by grade levels,
which dilutes the peak parking demand in the morning. In addition,
the school offers a van pool service. Staff believes that, in the
worst case, no more than 20 parking spaces would be needed for all
grade levels. This would lead to a surplus of 12 parking spaces
within this office park. Therefore, an appropriate condition of
approval has been added to limit the school to use of 32 parking
spaces.
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, co~nercial type fire extinguisher
and emergency lights near all exits. Based on the size of the facility, a
maximum occupancy of persons will be required to be posted to the
satisfaction of the Fire District.
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 number of students for the use.

July 19,1993
The Montessori Academy of Rancho Cucamonga is
requesting approval of a conditional use permit for
the purpose of providing instruction for students
ages 10-18 years in an existing 4,000 sq. ft. building
located at 8560 Vineyard Ave., Suite 510, Rancho
Cucamonga.
BACKGROUND
This proposed project is the result of the
continuing growth and success of the Montessori Academy,
owned by Sandra Schmidt. Ms. Schmidt, who received
her pedagogical training at Michigan University, was
trained at the Montessori Institutes at Los Angeles
and Washington D.C. Her teaching credentials include
certification to teach from pre-school through
adolescence. She founded the ~ontessori Academy of
Claremont in 1967. The school, located at 500 West
Baseline in Claremont, has grown from a small pre-school
to it's current status of having programs for children
from the age of six weeks through the twelth grade.
The Montessori Academy is dedicated to an academic
program guided by the precepts of Dr. Maria Montessori.
She devoted her life to refining a method of education
that opens the potential of a child by the coordinated
development of his "body, mind and spirit". Dr. ~ontessori
observed that the very young child acquires knowledge of
his environment primarily through his senses and that
each child passes through "sensitive periods" in which
his interest is spontaneous. The child is exposed to an
environment where the love of learning is paramount.
The School is approved and licensed by the Association
Montessori Internationale, State Department of' Education
and the Department of Social Services; and has applied
for accreditation by the Western States Association of
Schools and Colleges.
IMPACT AND BBNEFITS TO COMMUNITY
The Montessori Academy of Rancho Cucamonia is
proposing to move their secondary program from a leased
Page 2
site in Pomona. This program is one of only five or
six Montessori High Schools in the United States and
serves as a model for other private schools.
We own property at 9212 Baseline in Rancho Cucamonga
that we are hoping to develope within the next three years
to become a permenant home to our upper grade students.
We began the development process some time ago and had
to put the project on hold due to the depressed economic
market the State of California is currently experiencing.
The facility in Pomona we currently lease is not in
a desirable location to build clientel. Our current
student body consists of 50% Rancho Cucamonge students.
80% of the telephone inquiries we get come from the Rancho
Cucamonga area and are requesting elementary and above
openings. We would like to be able to establish our
client base in Rancho Cucamonga.
Our remaining clientel come from Clarmeont, Chino,
Ontario, Upland and Diamond Bar and are supportive of
our moving to Rancho Cucamonga.
This building offers the amount of space needed for
our purpose. It is laceted in the community in which we
hope to establish our school.
We feel that the pride exhibited by the Montessori
students and their parents shows in their support for the
school. The level of academic and social success in our
students is demonstrated in their committment and support
for community projects and activities. Emphasis is placed
on the student's responsibility to their neighbors.
USE
The building will essentially be used as it stands
for the purpose of offering educational programs to
Elementary, Junior High and High School aged students.
The school office will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday. Class hours are 7:50 a.m. to
2:40 p.m. with extended programs until 3:30 p.m. and
4:30 p.m. depending upon individual course selection.
Staff consists of one (1) Secretary and six'(6)
teachers during the largest shift.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-21 - ROBERT L. FISHER, SR. - A request to
permit an indoor shooting range within a 7,280 square foot building
on a 16,755 square foot lot within the General Industrial District
(Subarea 2) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, locate at 9049
9th Street - APN: 209-013-037.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to establish an indoor shooting range. Shooting ranges
are considered Recreational Facilities in the Industrial Specific Plan and
require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the General Industrial
District. The applicant operates indoor shooting ranges at several other
locations.
The proposed location is within a freestanding concrete tilt-up building at
the southwest corner of 9th Street and Flower Street. A variety of general
industrial users are located in the area. Two similar buildings are located
to the west and south which share driveways and parking with the subject
buil~.ng. The business to the west is an advertising graphics company, while
the southerly building is occupied by a manufacturer. Both of the adjacent
businesses operate during regular business hours.
The proposed facility will have a 50-foot shooting range with 12 divided
positions. In addition, a classroom and retail store will also be featured.
The range will be used primarily by the general public for practice and
instruction, but it may also serve as a practice, instruction, and
certification facility for off-duty police and security guards. The classroom
is designed to accommodate approximately 10 people. The applicant plans to
offer firearm safety classes to the general public on the weekends, and
security guard requalification courses during the week. Because of new
legislation (Assembly Bill 61S) which will soon require basic firearm safety
instruction for all handgun purchases, the applicant expects an increase in
the demand for instruction and training facilities, and he will offer courses
to meet this requirement.
The retail store will carry approximately 90 firearms for rental use at the
range. If the user likes the equipment, it may be ordered through the
store.. In addition to the firearms, the store will offer a-~unition, cleaning
kits, holsters, cases, targets, and reloading equipment. Gunpowder will not
be sold at the store.

The proposed hours of operation are, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.;
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The applicant
anticipates that his busiest hours will be after 4 p.m. on the weekdays and
all day Saturday and Sunday. Business is expected to be very light during
regular business hours, when most of the customers are expected to be off-duty
policemen and security guards.
Parking conflicts with adjacent businesses are not expected because the peak
hours of operation will be in the late afternoon and evening Monday through
Friday and on the weekends. Although the City's Development Code does not
address the parking required for an indoor shooting range, staff recommends
requiring one space for each employee of the maximum shift, plus one space per
shooting position, and one space for each three students in the classroom. As
shown below, this is a total of 18 parking spaces, which will be the n-mher
available at the building once the parking lot is restriped. Additional
parking is available within the three-building complex if more spaces are
needed, particularly in the evening and on weekends. The required parking
breaks down as follows:
Parking Calculations:
Proposed
Parking Required
Parking Provided
1/'employee 2 2 2
1/'position 12 12 12
1/3 students 10 4 4
18 18
Land use compatibility problems should not exist because safety and sound
attenuation improvements will be installed during the tenant improvement
stage. The existing concrete walls will perform most of the necessary sound
attenuation and will be bullet-proof as well. Thick steel plating will cover
the loading doors and any other necessary locations. In addition, the parking
lot will be restriped and the building repainted. As stated above, parking
conflicts are not anticipated.
REC0~NDATION: Staff reco~ends that the Commission approve Conditional Use
Permit. 93-21 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

PLANNING COF~4ISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-25 - M.E.C.C.A.
August 25, 1993
Page 12
ANALYSIS:
General: The Muslim Educational and Co~ununity Center of America
(M.E.C.C.A.) occupied the space two years ago. The Planning Division
first became aware of the use upon receiving plan check for the tenant
improvements, at which time staff notified the applicant of the need for a
Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has been working with Building and
Safety Division and Fire Safety Division to comply with all building and
fire codes.
The applicant has established a church facility in Suites I and J of an
industrial park at 9375 Feron Boulevard. Prayer sessions are held
primarily on Fridays from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday School is available
for children from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every Sunday. The facility is
staffed with volunteers; hence, there are no daytime office hours for the
use. Approximately 20 to 30 people attend the prayer sessions and 25 to
30 children attend the Sunday School classes, with anticipated growth in
the future. Occasionally, the facility will be used for "communal get-
togethers," such as religious holidays.
Issue: In analyzing the proposed Conditional Use Permit, two specific
issues may be associated with church uses in industrial settings as
follows:
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 1, addressed 9375 Feron Boulevard, contains
16,470 square feet of leasable multiple tenant industrial space.
Currently, a day care facility run by Chaffey College occupies Suites
A and B of this building 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
with classes ending at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays. An animal care facility
occupies Suite C. San Bernardino County runs an alternative education
school for three students in Suite D. Suites E through H are
currently vacant. The applicant' occupies Suites I and J, at the south
end of Building 1. All of the other existing uses in the park operate
primarily during normal weekday operating hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday). with the exception of the prayer sessions,
the other church activities will occur during off-peak business hours,
thereby minimizing any potential inter-business conflicts. Therefore,
staff does not anticipate any land use conflicts with adjacent
industrial or office users.
Parking: A church use requires 1 parking space per 35 square feet of
sanctuary area without fixed seating. The floor plan indicates a
sanctuary area ("lecture hall") of 1,906 square feet, which would have
a maximum occupant load of 272 persons (7 square feet per person) and
require 54 parking spaces. The entire site has 74 ~arking spaces, of
which 7 spaces are allocated to this tenant. The applicant expects
between 20 and 30 people to attend the Friday afternoon prayers. The
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 93-25 - M.E.C.C.A.

site is non-conforming and under current regulations the total parking
required for the entire site is 163 spaces. Staff believes that the 7
parking spaces available for M.E.C.C.A. can accommodate up to 28
people on Friday afternoons, if the "fixed seat" ratio of 1 space per
4 seats were utilized.
Fire District: The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District has
reviewed and approved detailed plans for the project. Equipment
upgrades to the facility will include a conspicuously displayed
¢o~ercial type fire extinguishers and adequate emergency lighting and
signage at all interior exits, per the Uniform Fire Code.
4e
Building and Safety Division: The Building and Safety Division is
ready to grant the change of occupancy permit for M.E.C.C.A. pending
approval by the Planning Comission.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recomends approval of Conditional Use Permit 93-25
through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

Dear Sir or Madam:
AU6 1993
I~M
The Muslim Educational and Community Center of America (M.E.C.C.A.) was organized
in thE; later part of 1991 to provide educational, religious, cultural and communal
opportunities for Muslims living in the Rancho Cucamonga area.
Presently there is a mosque located in Claremont and a second one in San Bernardino.
In between these two centers, no facility is available for the growing Muslim Community in
this area. So that Muslims living in this area may have easy access to a community
center, this organization was established.
The basic purposes for which this facility will be used by M.E.C.C.A. are:
1. Provide facilities for Fdday (which is the Muslim Sabbath) prayers for Muslims of the
area. On Fridays the center will be used for 2 hours, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
To provide Sunday school for Muslim children of the area in the basics of their faith.
The center will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every Sunday.
To provide opportunities for communal get-togethers on special occasions. The times
the Center will be open for these special occasions will depend upon the occasion
itself and its religious significance.
The organization's only source of income is individual contributions by the members of the
community. Every one involved is a volunteer and there are no employees working for
the center.
We are requesting approval of our petition for conditional use permit so that as. members
of this growing community we can achieve our goal of attaining our religious identity and
enrich the community of which we are so proud to be a part of.
Sinfully, /- ,

Re: Mecca
To whom it may concern;
Mecca,Muslim Educational Community Center of America,are located in our
Industrial Building at 9375 Feron Blvd. Rancho Cucamonga Unit I/J.
Mecca has always been a excellent tenant. At no time have we, Rogers/Shanks,
ever been approached with any complaints, of any kind about Mecca.
Mecca has always paid their rents on a timely manner, and have never bothered
anyone either in the park or surrounding area.
We feel that they are an asset to our Industrial Buildings.

CONDITIONAL USE pERMIT 88-12 - WESTERN PROPERTIES - A request to
amend the approved Uniform Sign Program for Terra Vista Town
Center, located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Haven Avenue.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this report is for the Commission to review and
approve the proposed identification signs for the Food Court.
BACKGROUND: The Commission approved the original Uniform Sign Program for
Terra 'Vista Town Center in February 1989. The Commission has amended the
Uniform Sign Program three times since then, including signs for the theatre,
Montgomery Wards, Service Merchandise, and various secondary identification,
directional, and pedestrian signs for the center.
At the time of the last two amendments, the applicant proposed pylon signs to
identify the Food Court, and those signs were rejected by the Commission.
However, the Commission indicated to the applicant that it would not object to
the concept of providing additional identity for the Food Court. The
applicant has redesigned the identification signs for the Food Court, which
are des:cribed and analyzed in the following section. Color renderings of the
signs will be available for Commission review at the meeting.
ANALYSIS:
A. Proposed Food Court Identification Signs: The applicant indicated that
there is a need to create an identity for the Food Court because it is set
too far back from Foothill Boulevard. The applicant proposes to add three
monument identification signs and one wall sign for the Food Court, as
shown on Exhibits 3, 4, and 5. Signs A, B, and C are to be located in the
traffic circle (see Exhibits 3 and 4). Sign D is to be placed on the
north elevation of Building W (see Exhibit 5). The proposed design is a
round emblem with ribbons flaring out on each side, as in a bow, with the
Terra Vista Town Center logo in the middle. The monument signs are made
of aluminum material and mounted onto pipe railing supported by a low,
decorative wall. The monument signs are lit externally while the wall
sign is internally illuminated.
Desion Issues: The design of the Food Court identification sign is very
festive looking. It will add interest to the traffic circle and also
create an identity for the Food Court. The design of the low decorative
wall and the pipe railing fence is consistent with the theme established
ITEM H
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 88-12 - WESTERN PROPERTIES

in the center. It will provide a pleasing backdrop for the signs. With
regards to the proposed wall sign, the sign is too big for the space
provided, causing the round portion of the sign to extend above the roof
and below the colonnade opening. The Sign Ordinance does not allow any
sign to project above the roof. Alternatives would be to: 1) reduce the
wall sign proportionally to fit the wall, 2) use a monument sign along the
street, or 3) use 24-inch letters in a wall sign identifying "Food Court."
Policv Issue: The proposed monument identification signs are higher and
bigger than any signs in the City. This brings forth a policy issue as to
how tall and how big a sign can be, given there are no specific
requirements because of the "Regional Center" status. The acceptance of
the proposed signs for their height and size will set a tone for future
signs.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff
approve the proposed
conditions:
recommends that the Planning Commission conceptually
signs through minute action with the following
1. The materials and colors for the low decorative wall and the pipe
railing shall be consistent with the established theme in the center.
A revised landscape theme within the traffic circle, that may include
the addition of tall shrub massing, colorful ground cover in front of
the sign, etc., shall be developed subject to City Planner review and
approval
3. The proposed wall sign for the Food Court shall be revised for City
Planner approval consistent with Commission discussion.
The proposed signs A, B, C, and D shall be renamed as Sign V - Food
Court Identification Sign Type, consistent with the format established
in the Uniform Si~n Program. Revised plans shall be submitted to the
Planning Division for review and approval.
Respectfully submitted,
City Planner
