Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga CA 91729 Ciw0tRanchoCucam0n~3 ' Planning Diwsion RE: Conditional Use Permit 93-17 - Shepherd of the Hills Luthern Church As residents at 10420 Banyan Avenue, only two houses west of the Luthern Church, we would like to protest this use permit in the strongest possible %eLms. The statistics quoted of "less than 2 dwelling units per acre" is misleading because of the topography of the area and the flood control zone immediately north of Banyan Avenue. The statement implies that no one lives in the area and therefore no impact would be felt. Currently the facility conducts Sunday morning services which creates excessive traffic problems on Banyan Avenue. The reason for this is a severe lack of parking space for the patrons of the church. 2hey park across the street on unimproved land which they may or may not have permission to use. The patrons park in front cf the private residential homes up and down Banyan with no consideration for the tenants of these homes. But more importantly, what happens when something is built on the land they are currently using for parking? This will only serve to exacerbate an already bad situation. We see nothing in this application which addresses the parking, only an application to further reduce available space. Every business\institution~facility is required to have parking for its patrons, we see no reason to exempt the Luthern Church from these requirements. The Banyan Avenue area is a ~uiet residential street, the addition of classroom space will not diminish or remain unchanged but will instead increase the noise level of the area. This in turn will have a negative effect on the already sagging property values of the area. It is invalid to argue that a library and classroom will be of benefit to the citizens of the area, unless of course they are all Luthern's attending that church. We strongly urge denial of %his conditional use permit on the basis of the problems cited above. '~ncerel~, - J D~ane ....Ma~ "-chie ~-~ Ji-m~O.

The roof type, color and building materials are consistent with the existing building. A 3 1/2 foot rock wall is proposed along the south side of the addition which is consistent with existing rock walls on the site. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher, Vallette, Coleman) approved the design of the church expansion with the following conditions: Submit a landscape plan providing upgraded landscaping along Banyan Street and additional tree planting in the parking area prior to the issuance of building permits. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed and approved the project on September 15, 1993, with the conditions noted in the Resolution of Approval. Grading Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the proposed grading plan on November 2, 1993, and approved it on November 18, 1993. Trail Issue: After the original approval of this church in 1980, the City adopted its first full General Plan which designated a public Community Trail along Haven Avenue. The church was developed in 1981, including curb, gutter and sidewalk, and later expanded in 1985. In 1991 the City Council approved the Trail Implementation Plan (and amended the General Plan accordingly) which identified specific trail alignments (see Exhibit "H"). The west side of Haven Avenue was chosen as the location of the Community Trail for the following reasons: A Community Trail had already been completed on the west side as part of the Northwoods Ranch development. 2. The east side of Haven Avenue, north of Banyan Street, has already been developed and fully improved without a trail. 3e It would provide a direct link to an important east-west Con~nunity Trail that existed through the Alta Loma Storm Drain Basins to the north of this church. 4. It was unlikely that a trail would ever be constructed across the Chaffey College frontage. Staff has recon~nended as a condition of approval that the Co,unity Trail be constructed prior to occupancy. The church objects to this requirement as stated in their letter of July 26, 1993, (see Exhibit "B"). The church notes in their letter that the northerly half of the church site is owned by Metropolitan Water District. The church requests deferring trail construction until such time as Metropolitan Water District builds the trail across their property. Staff believes that the church, as the developer of both properties, is responsible for full frontage improvements at the time of development.

However, we know that this trail is pan of the Rancho Cucamonga Master Plan and understand the trail construction on our property is our responsibility. Please delay the requirement for us to build the Ecluestdan Trail at tbi~ time for the following 1. Our property line ends five feet north of our existing buildings. Considering our property line and city requkements for the Equestrian Trail, our portion of the ii~l would only be 36 feet in length from our north property line to Banyan Street. If we built our section of the trail now, it would go fror~ nowhere to nowhere and would be unusable. 2. The remaining northern section of the Equestzlan Trail (from our property line to the existing southern limit of the trail) is on property managed by the Melropolitan Water Dis- u'ict. We request that you defer requiring us to build the Equestr/an Trail until the MWD buRds the section on their property, Tiffs would allow for compurable conslruction methods and styles, probably at less cost to both parties since the enti~ sect/on could be built at the ssme ame.

Several trees exist near the homes, four of which are protected by the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. The western half of the site is vacant and contains no structures or significant vegetation. Curb, gutter, sidewalk, and driveway approaches for the existing homes currently exist along the Arrow Route project frontage. The land slopes naturally from northwest to southeast at approximately 4 percent. ITEM B PLANNING COF~4ISSION STAFF REPORT TT 15577 - MODERN CORPORATION December 8, 1993 Page 2 E. Parking Calculations: Type Square Parking of Use Footage Ratio Number of Number of Spaces Spaces Required Provided Multi-family 2/units 36 36 Residential (in garage) 1/4 units 5 8 Visitor Parking Total 41 44 ANALYSIS: General: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the project site for condominium purposes and construct 18 residential attached units. The 18 units will be contained with four buildings, two of which will have 5 units and two will contain 4 units. Two three bedroom floor plans, ranging from 1,437 to 1,444 square feet, will be available. Attached 2 two-car garage and private open space behind each unit will be provided. In addition, the main common open space area will include amenities such as a swimming pool, spa and barbeque facilities. The existing homes, which are not on the City's potential Historical Site List, are proposed to be demolished prior to development of the site. Two of the four mature trees on the property are proposed to be removed in conjunction with development of the site. One driveway off Arrow Route is proposed to provide vehicular access to the project. The driveway approach is located to comply with the City's driveway policies. In addition, a continuous east/west through access is shown on the site plan to facilitate future access to adjacent under developed properties. Advisory Committees: On October 5, 1993, the Design Review Committee (McNiel, Melcher, Coleman) reviewed the conceptual plans and recommended approval of the project subject to conditions. The Design Review Committee action comments (see Exhibit "L") have been attached for your convenience. The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on October 6, 1993 and determined that, with the reco~nended conditions of approval, the project is consistent with all applicable standards and ordinances. The Grading Committee recommended approval of the conceptual plans with conditions on October 12, 1993. Tree Removal Permit: In conjunction with the proposed Tentative Tract Map, the applicant has submitted Tree Removal Permit No. 91-42 for the removal of two of the four mature trees on the property. The two trees proposed for removal would obstruct development of the project as currently proposed. An arborist report was prepared for the project by a PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TT 15577 - MODEM CORPORATION December 8, 1993 Page 3 licensed arborcultural consultant under contract with the City. The arborist recommended preservation of trees nos. 2 through 5 at the time of report preparation. Since that time, the health of tree no. 5 has deteriorated significantly and is no longer worthy of preservation. In addition, tree no. 4 is in conflict with the proposed drive aisle. Therefore, a total of three trees are reco~nended for replacement planting (for tree nos. ~, 4, and 5) per the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Staff recommended conditions of approval pertaining to tree preservation and replacement are included in the attached Resolution of Approval for the Subdivision Map. Parks: The site in q~/estion is identified as a possible neighborhood park on the City's General Plan Land Use Map and Parks and Recreation Plan Map. However, the park location is a "floating designation" and can be located anywhere within the circular area as shown in Exhibit "J." In order to remove the park designation from this site, staff will administratively amend the General Plan Land Use Map to relocate the park to another vacant parcel of similar size within the circular area. 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 Arrow Route. An acoustical analysis prepared for the site recommended that, in order to mitigate exterior noise to "safe" levels, that a minimum 6-foot high wall be constructed along Arrow Route, along the top of the proposed streetscape berms and/or slopes. Sound walls have already been incorporated into the conceptual design of the project, but please note that the Design Review Committee recommended an alternate sound wall design using a combination solid wall/open fence and herming to open up views of the project from Arrow Route, subject to review and approval of the Planning Division. 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 Co~nission 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 and Development Code. The project will not be detrimental to the public health or safety or cause nuisance or significant adverse environmental impacts. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFFREPORT TT 15577 - MODERN CORPORATION December 8, 1993 Page 4 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. B. Design Review: The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan. The proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 3. The proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed design, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were sent to the adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the project site. RECOmmENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract 15577, the design review thereof, and related Tree Removal Permit No. 91-42 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions and issue a mitigated Negative Declaration.

Related File: Tree Removal Permit 91-42. Design Parameters: The site of the proposed development currently contains two single family residences and related accessory structures of its eastern half. Several mature trees exist in the area around the two homes, four of which are protected by the Tree Preservation Ordinance. The applicant is proposing a Tree Removal Permit to preserve two of the four trees in place, per the reco~endation of the City's consulting arborist. To the north, a tentative tract for a 132 unit condominium development has been approved but is not yet under construction. Single family residential development exists in all other directions of the property. Only one driveway off Arrow Highway is proposed to provide vehicular access to the site, which is located to comply with the City's driveway policies. In addition, a continuous east/west through access is shown on the site plan to facilltate future access to adjacent under developed properties. Curb and gutter exist along the Arrow Highway frontage. The land slopes naturally from northwest to southeast at approximately 4 percent. Background: Originally, the project area was submitted as two separate Tentative Tract Maps (Tracts 15138 and 15139) on September 17, and 18, 1990, respectively. The Tentative Tracts were reviewed concurrently by the Design Review Comittee on January 16, 1992 (see attached minutes.) At that meeting, the Committee directed the applicant to work with staff in redesigning the projects to meet the then recently adopted multiple family development standards and be sensitive to master planning for future ~/ltiple family development in the i~ediate area. After significant consideration and meetings with staff, the applicant's for each tentative map determined it infeasible to pursue the two maps separately as proposed and then submitted Tentative Tract 15577 which combines the two projects into one. is DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS TT 15577 - MODERN CORPORATION October 5, i993 Page 2 Staff C~ents: The following co~nents are intended to provide an outline for Con~nittee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: At this time, the project is proposed with a net density of 9.9 dwelling units per acre. This density exceeds that reco~ended by the Planning Commission for similar multiple family residential project of less than 3 gross acres· Typically, a density between 8 to 9 dwelling units per acre has been considered appropriate by the Planning Co~ission for previously approved projects. Therefore, the Co~ittee should consider if the proposed density as it relates to the conceptual site plan is acceptable for this specific project· The applicant is proposing to use one of two possible streetscape wall schemes along the Arrow Highway project frontage. One concept would be a decorative stucco block wall with vertical offsets and pilasters. The other concept would use solid walls in combination with wrought iron fencing and a lexan backing to minimize noise to safe levels as specified by the City'& acoustical consultant. Projects in the immediate area have been approved recently with solid decorative stucco walls along Arrow Highway. The Committee should consider which wall concept is more appropriate for the project frontage. (It should be noted that this wall needs to be setbeck an average of 55 feet from the ultimate curb along Arrow Highway to comply with the City's Development Code. In doing this, the design and location of the main common area will require revisions.) Secondary Issues: time permitting, design issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and the Co~ittee will discuss the following secondary A third recreational amenity, such as a tot lot or barbeque area with grill and tables, should be provided in one of the common open space areas, to comply with the Development Code standards. The sidewalk through the landscape finger island in the southernmost guest parking area should be eliminated and replaced with another parking space. Note: There are numerous errors in the elevations which staff wil~ attempt to have applicant correct prior to the Committee meeting. DESIGN REVIEW CO~TS TT 15577 - MODERN CORPORATION October 5, 1993 Page 3 Se~Ff ~ec~-~ndations: Staff reco~ends that the Committee consider the project in light of the proposed density and how it relates to the conceptual site plan. If the Committee feels that the proposed density is appropriate given the layout of the site plan, the Committee should recomend approval subject to correcting the errors in the elevations prior to scheduling for the Planning Commission However, if the Comittee feels the proposed density is not in compliance with the intent of the multiple family development standards (i.e., multiple family development on small existing lots of record), then the Committee should direct the applicant to revise the project accordingly and return to Design Review Committee. Design ~eview Co~!ittee Attic: Members Present: Larry McNiel, John Melcher, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steve Hayes The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following conditions and/or suggestions: The Committee directed the develop~- to pursue a combination retaining wall/open fence design wi~ betming foz the streetscape wall along Arrow Route. Committee suggestions included herming the landscape area up to meet a retaining wall and placing open decorative fencing on top of or 5 feet in front of the wall to meet all sound attenuation and safety requirements. The final design of the streetscape wall/fence and betming should be reviewed and approved by the City Planner prior to the issuance of permits for the project. The Committee felt the proposed density was acceptable in light of the substantial improvements to the site plan since the previous submittal and because the current proposal meets all current code criteria for ~altiple family development, including setbacks, building separations, open space amenities, and on-site parking. The landscape finger island in the visitor parking area should be removed and replaced with a special paving parking space or a landscape area and decorative walkway added to the proposed landscaping between the parallel and 90 degree visitor parking stalls. The final design solution should be reviewed and approved by the City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits. DESIGN REVIEW CO~ENTS TT 15577 - MODERN CORPORATION October 5, 1993 Page 4 4e A roof gutter system or other means to avoid the accumulation of dirt staining building walls should be incorporated into the building design for review and approval by the City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits. The Co~ittee suggested that the architect prepare some alternative architectural schemes for the rear building elevations addressing such potential Co~nission concerns as wall plane variety, detailing of pop-out window elements and fascias.

Miller, Associate Engineer MODIFICATION TO TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 14331 LEWIS DEVELOPMENT - A request to delete conditions of approval no longer necessary with the reduction in size of Parcel 1 for a subdivision of 25 acres of land into two parcels in the Office Park (OP) designation of the Terra Vista Planned Community, located at the northeast corner of Spruce Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN: 1077-421-58 and 63. BACKGROUND: The tentative map (Exhibit "C") was approved on April 14, 1993, to create a separate Parc~ I for sale and development as a two-restaurant site (Exhibit "D"). The ap~icant is now proposing to reduce the size of Parcel i on the Final Map (Exhibit "B") and would like to delete several conditions of approval, as indicated in the attached letter. ANALYSIS: Parc~ I is being reduced to accommodate a single restaurant site, which can be adequat~y served by a sin~e driveway on Spruce Avenue. Therefore, the requirement to construct the Foothill Boulevard drive approach with development of Parcel I can be deleted from Engineering Condition No. 1 and from Standard Condition E.g. In addition, the reduced size of Parc~ I eliminates the need to provide interim drainage facilities across Parcel 1 to benefit Parcel 2. Therefore, all three Building and Safety conditions and Standard Condition A.10 can be deleted. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the modification to the Tentative Parcel Map conditions of approval through adoption of the attached Resolution.

City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division Because Red Lobster is not proceeding with their restaurant, and Parcel One is being reduced in size to accommodate only the Olive Garden, the new parcel line will fall on the storm drain, so that cross-lot drainage easements (A-10) will not be needed. In addition, because Spruce Avenue access is satisfactory to 0live Garden, the driveway on Foothill is no longer necessary, so that the last clause of E-2 should be deleted. Note that we are not oppo~'ed to installing the Foothill driveway, and in fact intend to design and submit it for City and Cal-Trans permitting, and install it as soon as possible, but only wish to avoid any Cal-Trans- induced delay in opening Olive Garden on time.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF APRIL 1993. PLANNING COMM~SION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ATTEST: /~'~'(~'f-~'~--~ I, Brad Bull.r, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cueamong&, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 14th day of April 1993, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: CHITIEA, MCNIEL, MELCHER, TOLSTOY, VALLETTE NOES: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ENVIRON~.NT~T. ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 14331 - LEWIS DEVELOP~NT - A subdivision of 25 acres of land into two parcels in the Office Park (OP) designation of the Terra Vista Planned Co~aunity, located at the northeast corner of Spruce Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN= 1077-421-58 and 63. Staff reco~aends issuance of a Negative Declaration. Betty Miller, Associate Engineer, presented the staff report. Commissioner Melcher asked if discussions had been completed on the question of park credit for the trails. Ms. Miller replied that discussions are still in process between the applicant and the Community Service Division. She said Engineering had decided it was not necessary to have a resolution as yet because the only trail involved will be developed in conjunction with Parcel 2. Commissioner Mmicher thought the Terra Vista Park Implementation Plan had been resolved several years ago. He questioned if the plan was being re-examined. Brad Bull.r, City Planner, stated that was correct. Ms. Miller stated the discussions regard whether lands submitted for park credit have been credited ap~ropriately and how the total n,,mher of parks in Terra Vista will be affected. Commissioner Tolstoy asked why Elm Street was not being required until the development of Parcel 2. Shintu Bose, Deputy City Engineer, stated that per the Subdivision Map Act, if a parcel map has 4 or fewer parcels, strelt improvements are deferred unless findings can be made that the improvements are necessary for safety reasons. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Mike Lesley, Lewis Homes, 1156 North Mountain Avenue, Upland, accepted the conditions. He remarked that Chris Keller from their co-~ercial leasing division and Mark Ber~onl from Madoil were available to answer questions. Commissionlr Tolstoy asked if the driveway from Foothill Boulevard to Spruce Street to the east of Parcel i would be constructed when Parcel I is developed. Mr. Lesley confirmed that it would. Commissioner Melcher asked for clarification about the master plan for the block. Me asked what would be in front of the parking structure to the east. Mr. Lesley stated they proposed retail shops or a health club which would be tied to the parking structure to act as a screen for the structure. He noted the master plan is conceptual only and would have to go through the Design Review process. Planning Commission Minutes -4- April 14, 1993 Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Melther stated he favored the parcel map. He felt that most likely the block will be developed with four restaurant pads with two pair each flanking a vast sea of parking and that on the west side the view acrsis the parking between the two restaurants would be to a parking garage. He felt there might be a request for signature architecture. Coa~iesioner Tolstoy asked if Commissioner Melcher's concern was that the view from Foothill Boulevard across the parking lot would be of a parking itructure. Co~aiesioner Melcher affirmed that will happen on the west parcel particularly. Conmmissioner Tolstoy felt a parking structure could be designed to be quite handsome. He thought the Commission should go on record that if Parcel 2 is developed per the master plan, the parking structure will have to be attractive. Chairman McNiel observed that it would be processed through the Design Review Con~aittee. Commissioner Chitlea shared Commissioner Melcher's concern about exposing the parking structure on the west side and she observed the proposed design fragments all of the restaurants. She thought moving the restaurants closer together with enhanced landscaping and pedestrian connections would provide a more interesting configuration. She did not feel the proposed plan is pedestrian friendly. Co~,iseioner Tolstoy shared Coa~aissioner chitiea's concerns. He felt a pedestrian circulation system could be added at the Design Review stage if one is not proposed by the applicant. He questioned if the lot will be large enough for the two restaurant padl, the pedestrian circulation system, and sufficient parking. Commissioner Chitlea stated that was why she had expressed her concern with the parcel map. Commissioner Vallette expressed support for the parcel map but she shared the concerns regarding placement of the building pads. She thought that restaurants with signature architecture should perhaps be separated more than if signature architecture is not used. She asked if the other Commissioners felt signature architecture would be appropriate. Chairman McNiel felt that some identifying elements of signature architecture are acceptable but typical off-the-shelf structures would not be appropriate. He reopened the public hearing to ask if fast-food restaurants are proposed. Mr. Lasley responded negatively. Planning Commission Minutes -5- April 14, 1993 Chairman McNiel ·gain closed the public he·ring. co~issioner Tolstoy observed that Parcel 1 may set the tone of the architecture for the Mr. Bullet commented that staff felt the proposed master plan was acceptable for allowing development of Parcel 1. He said the proposed distance between the restaurants would not be greater than elsewhere ·long Foothill Boulevard in some of the shopping centers. Commissioner Melcher did not feel the two buildings need to be clustered together and he thought the placement on one side of the driveway would co~pliment what is happening on the other side of the drive. Mr. Bullet suggested that · pedestrian passageway could be constructed similar to what is between Chili'a and Pads X and Y in Town Center; i.e., · landscaped pedestrian walkway ·long the main spine street. He said there would also be · walkway ·long Foothill Boulevard. Commissioner Tolstoy noted there will also be considerable herming to hide the parking lots. Mr. Bullet stated that the minutes would reflect that the Commission raised concerns about the buildings on view between the two restaurant pads on both the east and west side of the project and that the p·rking structures will need to be architecturally pleasing.
