BACF~ROUND: This item was continued and re-advertised from the last
meeting for the purpose of presenting an alternative land use
designation for the Planning Co~ission's consideration. The staff
report of February 9, ~994 is attached for your reference.
ANALYSIS: Staff can support retail on a limited basis as an alternative
to the request for General Co~ercial. The applicant desires region-
serving and sub-region serving speciality retail uses because of their
location along the City's primary co,~ercial corridor and proximity to
the I-~5 Freeway. Staff believes that the area can support some
additional commercial land. The Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sport Park and
Rancho Cucamonga Stadium, which adjoin the subject site to the south,
creates a unique opportunity for recreational co-~ercial activity.
ITEMS A & B
PLANNING CO~ISSION STAFF REPORT
GPA 93-02 & ISPA 94-02 - MASI
February 23, 1994
Page 2
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT: The General Plan currently has five commercial
land use categories to meet the City's need for retail and services.
These include: Neighborhood Co~nercial, General Commercial, Community
Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Office Professional. Staff
recommends that a new commercial land use category be created as
follows:
Recreation Commercial: Development of recreation facilities and
retail uses shall be encouraged along Foothill Boulevard surrounding
the Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sport Park near the intersection of
Rochester Avenue. The baseball stadium and year-round sports
activities in the Sports Park create a unique opportunity to provide
secondary region-serving speciality retail uses that are not major
general merchandise department stores or food or drug stores. They
generally use approximately 3,500 - 55,000 square feet of gross
leasable area and require sites with high visibility and high
traffic counts. These centers typically have convenient freeway
access and draw their customers from within a five to ten mile
radius. Uses in this category are regional in nature and not
normally found in neighborhood co~ercial centers. These types of
occupancies could include discount retailers, such as sporting
goods, apparel, electronics, furniture, and appliances.
INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN: Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific
Plan stretches along the south side of Foothill Boulevard from Day Creek
to Deer Creek, a distance of approximately two miles. Although it is
designated "Industrial Park" in the Industrial Area Specific Plan, land
use activities currently permitted include not only traditional light
manufacturing, but also a full range of office, administrative, business
support, and other business and personal related services, including
convenience retail, entertainment, and automotive services.
Staff recomends that the description of the purpose of Subarea 7 be
modified to reflect the current City policies and development patterns,
as follows:
Primary Function: Subarea 7 occupies an area directly south of
Foothill Boulevard which represents an important land use edge
between the City's Industrial Area and a large master planned
co~nunity to the north. Foothill Boulevard is the City's primary
commercial corridor and serves as a gateway to the City. Along
Foothill Boulevard, the intersections at Haven, Milliken, and
Rochester Avenues have been designated as activity centers to
promote concentrated activity and establish a unique design theme.
A major industrial and office development on approximately 300 acres
is currently undergoing phased construction between Haven and
Milliken Avenues. Within this area is the Rancho Cucamonga Civic
Center and San Bernardino County Courthouse.

Staff also recommends that language be added to reflect the proposed
Recreational Commercial land use designation for the Masi Plaza project
site. The following language is similar to the approach used in the
Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 7 regulations for the K Mart
center:
Special Consideration: At the southwest corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, adjoining the Rancho Cucamonga Adult
Sports Park and Rancho Cucamonga Stadium, the Development Code land
use provisions for the General Commercial District shall also apply
to the planned 27-acre mixed-use center, except that department
stores or food or drug stores shall not be allowed. These uses
shall be in addition to those uses allowed by the Industrial Park
(Subarea 7). The amount of general co~m~ercial shall not exceed 35
percent of the total gross leasable area for the project.
In 1992, the City Council amended the Industrial Area Specific Plan to
add a new land use type, "Automotive Service Court" to encourage
automotive repair uses to congregate into planned centers with
appropriate screening. Subsequently, an automotive service court was
approved and built on Archibald Avenue at 8th Street. Currently, major
automotive and truck repair, such as transmission and engine repair, and
k~dy work, are prohibited. Staff believes that general automotive
repair, such as transmission and engine repair, is appropriate and
compatible with other uses allowed within an automotive service court.
Therefore, staff recommends modifying the definition as follows: (The
design criteria do not change.)
Automotive Service Court: An integrated cluster of related
automotive service activities, which typically include: gas
stations; service stations, with or without ancillary uses such as
car washes and food marts; general automotive service and repair
including mufflers, shocks, alignments, brakes, oil changes,
lubrications, tune-ups, smog checks, tire repair and replacement,
and transmissions; installation of air conditioning, car phones,
stereos, windshields, and upholstery; windshield tinting; sale of
auto parts; and other related services.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has reviewed Part I of the Initial
Study and completed Part II and has found no significant adverse
environmental impacts that will occur as a result of the proposed
General Plan Amendment or Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment.
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 all property owners within 300 feet of
the project site.

LAND USE ANALYSIS:
A. Background:
1. Industrial Area Specific Plan~
Subarea 7 of ~he Industrial Area Specific Plan stretches along
the south side of Foothill Boulevard from Day Creek to Deer
Creek, a ~istance of approx~tely two miles. Although it is
designated "Industrial Park" in the Industrial Area Specific
Plan, land use activities currently ~ermitted include not only
traditional light manufacturing, but also a full range of
office~ a~ministrative, business support, and other business
and personal related services, including convenience retail,
entertainment, and auto~otive services. A list of permitted
and conditionally per~itted uses can be found in Exhibit mC.'
This very broad mix of uses is intentional. It was devised to
provide a viable transitio~ between the industrial and
employment areas to the south and the residential/retail
developments to the north. It also recognizes that Foothill
Boulevard, as the major east-west artery connecting to the 1-15
Freeway, will eventually attract high volume services needed in
the c~-~nity but not appropriately located within either the
industrial area to the south or the residential/retail areas to
the north.
At the same time, the current regulations stop short of
allowing a full range of unrestricted retail ac~ivities in
Subarea 7. The City~s current land use plan for Foothill
Boulevard recognizes that the co~unity must ~alance the amount
and location of retail/coBercial establishments along the
entire 6-1/2 mile corridor so as not to create a negative
impact on existing retail centers in the older part of the
com~unity or already planned co~ercial centers elsewhere.
The intention is to strike a balance. I~eally, an ~le ~-~unt
of CoBercial zoning should be available to acco0~0odate needed
retail services within the community without creating such an
overabundance of co~ercially zoned land that it cannot be
develope~ to its potential, resulting in marginal or temporary
land uses.
Previous ApDlicatious~
The Planning Co~ission reviewe~ a request to expand the list
of permitted and conditionally permitts~ uses in Su~rea 7 of
the In~uatrial Area Specific Plan (~PA 92-02) in March 1992.
The list of uses originally requeste~ included a broad range of
retail/co~ercial uses. Through the Planning Commission review
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
GPA 93-02B - MASI
February 9, 1994
Page 3
process, the request for such a broad array of additional
retail uses was denied. At the time of the previous request,
it was the Planning Commission~s belief that the co-~unity
could not sul~port the broad range of additional
retail/commercial establishments on this pro~erty without a
negative impact on the existing retail centers in the older
part of the community or already planned co~laercial centers
elsewhere. The Amendment in its final form as approved by City
Council on June 3, 1992, only included the addition of
"Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvement" and
"Automotive Service Court' as conditionally ~ermitted uses.
3. Proposed Land Uses~
The applicant has requested a change in the land use
designation from Industrial Park to General Co-~ercial. The
General Plan states that the General C~ercial categnry 'is
categorized by a broader range of use activities' than any of
the commercial designations. This category includes local
commercial, comunity shopping/office complexes, and commercial
uses surrounding the regional center. The General Plan intends
that future commercial activities be organized into planned,
group concentrations as opposed to being organized in a linear
fashion.
As an alternative to this the applicant has presented an option
which proposes a "special retail allowance" for their site and
other "eligible' sites which meet a set of locatiohal and size
criteria (noted in Exhibit #B"). The proposed uses include
sports related retail which is to include uses such as hobby
supplies~ arts and crafts sup~lies~ video/cd rentals and sales,
sporting goo~s, sports wear and accessories, western wear, and
antique and art sales. The applicant contemplates a 40,000
square foot cap on these uses.
A~ditionally, "specialty retail' is proposed as part of this
alternative which would include such uses es housewares,
appliances, electronics, home furnishings and accessories, auto
parts and accessories, sewing supplies, health and beauty
supplies, card and gift stores, plants and garden supplies~
apparel, footware and related items~ variety stores and other
related specialty retail items. The applicant proposes a
25,000 square foot cap on these uses.
The applicant also proposes that a "retail allowance" be
assigned which would be eClUal to 35 percent of the total
planned square footage for the proSect or 85,000 ~quare feet.
Also, the applicant proposes that these uses only be permitted
in certain building locations.
PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT
GPA 93-02B - MASI
February 9, 1994
Page 4
However, both of these alternatives are similar to the request
that the Planning Cornlesion denied on April 8, 1992 (ISPA 92-
02). If the Co---ission considers this option as a valid
proposal, then serious consideration should be given to
redesignating the southeast corner of Rochester Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard. This property has a similar setting to the
site being considered and is in closer proximity to existing
co~aercially zoned property and the I-~5 Freeway Corridor.
Land Use Issues= Notwithstanding the concerns noted above which
were voiced by the Planning Co-wzission on the previous application,
there are several factors which lend support to the concept of
additional co~ercial uses on the site.
Sports Complex=
The construction and completion of the Sports Complex in early
1993 has created a synergy and a niche for sports oriented
co~aercial which was not anticipated by the City'e General Plan
or Industrial Area Specific Plan. Additionally, the location
of the stadium physically separates the project site from the
industrially zoned area to the south.
2. Proximity to 1-15 Freeway=
The project site is situated 1/4 mile west of the 1-15 Freeway
corridor which makes it attractive for region serving
commercial develo~aent.
3. Activity Center:
The corner of Rochester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard has been
designated an Activity Center by the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan as well as the Industrial Area Specific Plan. As
such, this intersection must com~ly with specific design
stan~r~ which generally provide for a more formalized and
urban appearance. Such aspects as site design, reduced
setbacks, hardscape, pedestrian orientation, landscape,
lighting, and architectural concept must be considered. These
types of special ~esign considerations set apart Activity
Center intersections from other intersections along Foothill
Boulevard and therefore, could make the area more suitable for
comercial development.

C. Economic Issues=
Market Analysis:
In order to evaluate the need and viability of designating the
site as General Commercial, staff requested an economic
analysis and market study. The applicant sul~nitted the
attached "Trade Area and Land Use Analysis" report. The study
was conducted by Claire and Associates and examines the
viability of designating the project site as General
Commercial. The study examines the existing and future trade
area demographic characteristics available to support
commercial and analyzes the attributes and constraints of the
site. The study recommends that the General Plan be amended to
designate the site as General Commercial.
In reviewing the report, staff has identified the following
deficiencies with the study=
ae
The need for additionally zoned commercial land within the
con.unity is not clearly demonstrated.
The study does not address how additional commercial land
is necessary within the context of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan, the community and the region. It is not
clear from the study why more comercial land is needed
beyond what is already planned for in the City.
b. The study is site specific only.
The study is site specific and does not address the City
wide impact of the proposed land use change to add more
commercial land. Previous studies have indicated that we
have an abundance of commercially zoned properties.
The study does not take into consideration already
dasiqmated commercially zoned property.
The study acknowledges the demand (i.e., "agglomeration")
for secondary region-serving retail and commercial service
in the vicinity of the planned Victoria Gardens Regional
Shopping Center. However, the study should indicate that
~here is already approximately 300 acres of comercial
property designated along Foothill Boulevard ~nd around
the Victoria Gardens project that can ~ulfill this
de-~nd, The study should analyze whether the existing
designations are adequate to meet the retail needs of the
trade area.

Effective buying income of ~he ~rade area is not analyzed
in relation to existing and planned commercial properties.
The study projects an effective buying income within the
tr&de area of over $3 billion in the year 2010, and total
retail store sales of $614,002,383. In order to give
meaning to these figures, the study should analyze the
amount of existing and planned commercial land and their
projected total retail sales. In other words, will
existing and planned commercial properties meet or exceed
the buying power of the trade area?
The study does not acknowledge the recent completion of
several commercial centers.
The study references sales 'leakage' in the trade area,
and particularly Rancho CucAmonge. It should note the
recent reversal of this trend with the completion of
several commercial centers, particularly secondary region-
serving centers, such as ~he Terra Vista Town Center
( Target, Mervyn ' s, Boss, Montgomery Wards, Service
Merchandise) and Posthill Marketplace (Price Club, Wal-
Mart). This has resulted in an increase in sales tax
revenue for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, whereas most of
the other cities in ~he region have seen declining or
stagnant sales tax revenues. Mhereas the region posted a
2.6 percent lo88 in the second c~sarter of 1993, the City
of Rancho Cucamonga saw an increase of 11.3 percent in
taxable sales (see Exhibit #Du).
The study does not consider pending General Plan Amendment
requests ·
Three such requests are currently being processed through
the City: 25 acres at the northeast corner of Spruce
Avenue end Foothill Boulevard, 12 acres at the southeast
corner of the 1-15 Freeway and Base Line Boad, and the
General Dynamics site which could potentially add 200
acres of mixed-use commercial land to the City. The
cu~lulative impact Of all these requests is significant.
The 8~udy does no~ justify the scope of retail uses
requested.
The study states that the trade area could "easily Support

discotmt retailers. However, the applicant's request
i~cludes local-serving retail uses (see E~hihit #B#) which
typically are found in neighborhood shopping centers.
Consideration of Alternative Desi~nations= To provide the
Co~mission with alternatives to the existing and proposed
designations, staff has included an analysis of categories similar
in character to those under discussion. Office and residential uses
were not considered viable land use alternatives. Staff examined
the following land use alternatives=
Limited Sports or R~creation Related Coa~ercial= Although no
such land use category exists in the General Plan, a
specialized cometrial definition could be developed and added
to the Industrial Area Specific Plan, Sugared 7 as a
¢ondiUionally permitted use. This oom~ercial usage would take
into account the presence of the Sports Complex and would thus
acknowledge the unanticipated market this facility has
created. Potential uses would include sporting good stores,
sportswear and accessory stores, sports collectables and
trophies, and sports equipment rental, repair, and sales.
The Limited Sports/Recreation Co~ercial designation would
allow for a specific type of retail that would be directly
related to the Sports Complex. Staff could support this option
which could be processed as an Industrial Area Specific Plan
Amendment to expand th~ list of conditionally permitted uses
within Subarea 7. However, the applicant does not support this
option because of its limi~ation on the type of retail allowed.
General Cos~ercial with a cap of 40,000 S~uare Feet: This
category would be identical to the General Coma. trial
designation requested by the applicant except that a cap of
40,000 square feet would be added to a~y individual user. This
square foot li~ttation would ostensibly eliminate larger retail
ns.rs such a K-Mar~, Home Depot, Circuit City, etc., which
could locate elsewhere in General Commercial areas. Even with
~his limitatio~, it would be adding additional General
Cos~ercial uses to the Foothill Boulevard corridor without the
Justification to support it.
3e
Co---unity C~ercial: The General Plan defines this category
as intended =o provide residents with a greater. range of
services and merchandise than found at the neighborhood
co---trial level. Businesses located within Community
C~,rcial designations tend to provide general merchandise.
The amount of gross leasable area ranges from 100,000 to
300,000 ~luare feet. These =enters h~ve · trade area with a 3
to 5 mils radius and are between 15 to 50 acres in size.

same range of retail and service uses found ~n rmgional centers
slid typically aocomodate a junior department store or a
variety store. Ex-~p. les include: Foothill Marketplace (Price
ClILb, Wal-Mart) and the Terra Vista Town Center. Staff cannot
support this request because of the extent of commercial uses
which could be added to the site and the lack of justification
for additional Community Co--aercial uses on Foothill Boulevard.
Industrial Park (Subarea 7): The existing designation has no
inherent problems in staff's opinion and would still be an
appropriate land use. Adjacent property to the west is
designated for Industrial Park, as is land on the east side of
Rochester Avenue. This arrangement of industrially designated
land in Subarea 7 could allow for a viuble development in the
future. Staff could support the existing designation on the
site since Subarea 7 allows a full range of office, business
support services, business supply retail, convenience retail,
recreation, entertainment, and certain automotive services.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review of possible land use designations, staff has deter~ined
a recommended course of action which the PLanning Commission could
take:
Limited Sports/Recreation Commercial: If the Commission
believes that Limited Sports/Recreation Commercial uses are
most appropriate, then staff should be directed to prepare a
Resolution of Approval to the City Council for an Industrial
Area Specific Plan Amendment. This use would be added as a
con~itionally permitted use to Subarea 7! Industrial Park of
the Industrial Area Specific Plan. It is staff's opinion that
the following facts for finding. can be made:
am
The subje~ property is suitable for ~he uses permitted in
the proposed Industrial Area Specific Plan A~endment and
is co~patible with existing and surrounding land use
desi~nations as evi~*nced by the site's being bordered on
~he south by the Sports Complex which has created a unique
opportunity for recreation-re~ated commercial.
The proposed amendment will not have significant impacts
on the environment nor on the surrounding properties as
evidenced by the findings and conclusions listed in
Parts I & II of the Initial Envir~nmental Assessment of
this application.
The proposed amendment does not exhibit any conflicts with
the provisions of the General Plan and the Industrial Area
Specific Plan.

Recreational Commercial: Development of recreation facilities and retail uses
shall be encouraged along Foothill Boulevard surrounding the Rancho Cucmmonga
Adult Sports Park near the intersection of Rochester Avenue. The baseball
staduim and year-round sports activities in the Sports Park create a unique
opportunity to provide secondary region-serving specialty retail uses that are
not major general merchandise department stores or food or drug stores. They
generally use approximately 3,500 - 55,000 square feet of gross leasable area
and require sites with high visibility and high traffic counts. These centers
typically have convenient freeway access and draw their customers from within
a five to ten mile radius. Uses in this category are regional in nature and
not normally found in neighborhood commercial centers. These types of
occupancies could include discount retailers, such as sporting goods, apparel,
electronics, furniture, and appliances.

Primary Function~ Subarea 7 occupies an area directly south of Foothill
Boulevard which represents an important land use edge between the City's
Industrial Area and a large master planned community to the north. Foothill
Boulevard is the City's primary co~mercial corridor and serves as a gateway to
the City. Along Foothill Boulevard, the intersections at Haven, Milliken, and
Rochester Avenues have been designated as activity centers to promote
concentrated activity and establish a unique design theme. A major industrial
and office development on approximately 300 acres is currently undergoing
phased construction between Haven and Milliken Avenues. Within this area is
the R~ncho Cucamonga Civic Center and San Bernardino County Courthouse.
SDecial Consideration 'Foothill Boulevard is a major arterial which is
projected to carry a significant volume of traffic. In order to limit
vehicular access problems, the minimum parcel size requirement along Foothill
Boulevard is 2 acres and minimum parcel width is 200 feet.
For property within the boundaries of the Haven Avenue Overlay District, refer
to the Overlay District for a modified list of permitted land uses and special
development criteria.

Development Code land use provisions for the General Commercial District shall
also apply to the planned 27-acre mixed-use center, except that department
stores or food or drug stores shall not be allowed. These uses shall be in
addition to those uses allowed by the Industrial Park (Subarea 7). The ~mount
of general commercial shall not exceed 35 percent of the total gross leasable
area for the project.
To preserve and enhance the image of the community, special considerations
shall be given to the quality of site design, architecture, and landscaping of
all properties adjacent to the 1-15 Freeway. Attractive screening of outdoor
work,. loading, storage areas, roof- and ground-mounted equipment from
significant freeway points of view shall be required.

Additionally, the Planning Commission requested that a scaled floor plan be
provided for the billiard parlor (CUP 93-32) which would indicate the location
of the tables, the division between the adult and family sections, and the
location and number of amusement devices. It was requested at the meeting
that floor plans also be required for the martial arts studio (CUP 93-30) and
the indoor batting cage (CUP 93-29).
CUP 93-31 (health spa) was originally scheduled to be heard on February 9,
1994.. In light of the Planning Commission's discussion regarding the other
CUP's, the applicant and staff agreed it would be best to continue this item

The applicant for the billiards parlor (CUP 93-32) has requested 34
tables. Based upon the available parking adjacent to Building 14 and
next to Buildings 13 and 15 (68 stalls), 34 tables can be
accommodated. This limitation on the D,,mher of tables has been added
as a condition of approval in the attached resolution. Thirty-four
tables can be accommodated because of the decrease in square footage
of the proposed health club (CUP 93-31) in Building 15.

Note that the Development Code does not provide a specific ratio for
batting cages. A similar facility (Hitter's Haven) is located within
the City and was contacted regarding their parking facility.
Hitter's Haven is located in a 10,990 square foot industrial building
and has six batting cages and a small amount of ancillary retail.
The facility has four employees and is open weekdays from 3 p.m. to 9
p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The average length of stay
for a customer is one hour, although cages are rented in as little as
10-minute increments. The building was originally parked as an
industrial building at a ratio of 1/500 (which provided a total of 22
spaces). The owner of the facility indicated verbally that the
parking has always been adequate for his operation. Additionally, as
indicated in the previous report, a survey was conducted of different
cities in the area and none of the jurisdictions contacted had a
specific parking standard for this type of use.
If the proposed batting cage were to be parked at the ratio of 1/500,
then 24 spaces would be required for the facility. The parking ratio
utilized in the analysis is based on the assumption that one car
would be utilizing each cage at any one time, while a group in a
second car would be arriving and/or leaving. The slam ball court was
calculated at the ratio utilized for racquetball courts and the
ancillary retail was also calculated separately. The applicant
anticipates three employees. This method of calculating parking
requires a total of 23 spaces. The snack bar and office use proposed
are both 100 square feet in size and were considered to be negligible
and were not considered in the parking calculation.
Conditional Use Permit 93-29 (Indoor Batting Cage): The use is located in
12,000 square feet of Building 16 and will include five batting cages, one
slam ball court, one pitching tunnel, and related equipment (see Exhibit
"E"). A snack bar, office, an4 party room will occupy an additional 400
square feet. The party room will be utilized by teams and/or individuals
for birthday parties and other special occasions. Estimated hours of
operation are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to
11 p.m. on Friday; 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
Sunday. The applicant anticipates three employees. The applicant has
also requested three video games, one radar pitch, two skee ball games,
and one air hockey game, all of which are considered amusement devices.
Conditional Use Permit 93-30 (Martial Arts Studio): Typically, a martial
arts studio is one large exercise area and possibly a small office
space. The studio will occupy 3,000 square feet in Building 16 (see
Exhibit "E"). Three to four employees are anticipated. Potential hours
of operation are from 6 a.m to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday and l0 a.m.
to 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Twenty parking spaces are available
for this use; therefore, an adult class size limit of twenty students and
instructors is recozended.

Conditional Use Permit 93-31 (Health Club): A floor plan has been
provided for this requested use. An analysis of the use was provided in
the previous staff report which has been attached. Note that the square
footage for the health spa has been reduced from 15,800 to 14,300 square
feet.
Conditional Use Permit 93-32 (Billiards Parlor): A floor plan and
management plan, as requested by the Commission at the hearing on January
26, 1994, has been attached to this report. The parking analysis and
attached exhibit indicates that there is space for 34 tables as requested
by the applicant. The applicant has indicated they also wish to provide a
basketball shoot, fooeball, eight dart games, four video games, and four
pinball machines. Approximately 250 square feet of the total area will be
utilized for these amusement devices. A business profile has been
included as an attachment to this report which provides background
information on the company.
As requested by the Commission, the applicant has provided a security
management plan (see Exhibit "K"). Planning staff has reviewed the plan
and finds it acceptable, except for the section regarding outdoor
security. A condition has been added to the resolution requiring outdoor
security should a problem with the facility arise. This information was
received by the Planning Division on February 10, 1994, and the Police
Department did not have the opwortunity to respond to the information
before this report was completed. Staff will be able to provide a verbel
update at the meeting.
Fo
Environmental Assessment: Staff has determined that the Negative
Declaration previo~sly issued for Conditional Use Permit 91-24 on the same
site is sufficient for these Conditional Use Permits.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Commission must make all of the following findings in
order to approve each of these applications:
That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives
of the Development Code, the Industrial Area Specific Plan, and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located.
Be
'That the propo ed use, 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.
C. 'That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code and Industrial Area Specific Plan.

INTRODUCTION TO BILLIARDS
The game of billiards goes back hundreds of years. It was very popular with
the European nobility in the 18th and 19th centuries. Napoleon was a devote'
and so were Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It was truly a sport of
the upper classes and was played amidst an arablance of style and luxury.
However, in this country, until the late 1980's, playing billiards conjured up
images of dark, smoke-filled saloons frequented by gamblers and assorted
undesirables. In most establishments, women and children were not even
allowed to be on the premises.
Times have changed. In the late '80's we began to see the emergence of
'~amily billiards". New billiard parlors were opened which offered attractive and
well-lit environments where anyone was welcome to play. In the last two or
three years, a few establishments went even further toward returning billiard
playing to its former elegance by launching a new generation of billiard parlors
which included state-of-the-art equipment, lavish decor, and truly upscale
recreational experience. At present, most of these upscale parlors are being
developed in the eastern and southern United States.
Despite the near critical shortage of the first-class billiard establishments, the
enormous interest in the game continues to grow throughout the United States.
With over 36 million participants, billiards rates ahead of major sports such as
golf, softball, and basketball with respect to the number of participants
nationwide. As billiard establishments become attuned to the needs and desires
of this growing billiard-playing public, more and more people will be attracted
to the sport because of its increased exposure and upgraded facilities.
GROWTH POTENTIAL
The most frequent participation in billiards is among male players in the 18-
35 year old age group which represents more than half of the estimated 36
million Americans playing pool today. However, the game of billiards is a sport
that can be enjoyed by and between all age and gender groups, single or
married. It requires no exceptional attributes or skills and almost everyone can
pick up the fundamentals of the game in a short period of time allowing them
to play to a level where they are enjoying themselves. This gives pool the
broadest spectrum of potential players of any participation sport.
Since billiards is played indoors, it is not weather or season dependent nor
is specialized attire required. Unlike golf, tennis, swimming and most other
recreational activities, it can be played at any time of day or night.
Fats Billiards business plan was conceived to appeal not only to the existing
core groups but also to attract large numbers of new players from other
demographic groups when they discover the special ambiance and diverse
appeal of Fats Billiards' wholesome, attractive and entertaining environment.
Several of these other groups which have impressive player participation
increases are:
* New Players - Increase of twelve million from 1990 to 1993.
* Ages 35-54 - Increase of 30% from 1990 to 1993 alone.
* White Collar ("Yuppie") - 46% increase in last two years.
* Women Players - Increase of 146% from 1990 to 1993.

FATS BILUARDS' HISTORY
The history of Fats Billiards dates back to the spring of 1988 when Patrick
Murphy opened Rack 'el Family Billiards, a family billiard establishment in Citrus
Heights,. a suburb of Sacramento. After years in the discount retail business and
retail video business, Mr. Murphy opened a modern family billiard facility in a
shopping center space on Antelope Road near 1-80 adjacent to a Raley's
shopping center. This facility consisted of approximately 4,500 sq. ft. and
included twenty championship tables and a very limited snack and beverage
service.
From the beginning, Rack'Em Billiards was a resounding success and by the
spring of 1990, Mr. Murphy was prepared to open a second site in Sacramento.
At this time, he began negotiations with J&R Holdings, Inc. for two additional
shopping center sites. The principals of J&R Holdings were so impressed with
the upscale billiard concept and its earning potential that in March of 1991, the
Fats Billiards Partnership was formed.
In April of 1992, Fats opened the first of its new prototype locations: an 8,000
sq. ft. club in Riverside, California. This $500,000.00 facility represents the
cutting edge of the modern billiards industry and is a "must see" for anyone
interested in billiards. Rarely is a new business an immediate success, but this
is most emphatically the case with Fats Billiards - Riverside. So much so that
in March of 1993, the club was renovated and expanded, adding 3,500 sq. ft.,
an outdoor patio, eight more pool tables, and full liquor service. Fats - Riverside
continues to be one of Riverside's top recreational attractions.
Fats' second operational location, an 11,000 sq. ft. club in suburban
Sacramento (Citrus Heights), opened October 10, 1992. Meticulously planned
and designed for 11 months, Sacramento's first Fats Billiard Club features all
of the amenities which made the Riverside club an overnight sensation and
much more. Sacramento's Fats added full liquor service accented by a
spectacular elevated 1,200 sq. ft. observation bar, the ultimate place to "meet
and mix and watch the action".
3
Fats' third location pioneered a new Fats design and color scheme,
emphasizing royal blue and gold coloring to accent Fats' extensive use of brass
and glass. In addition to winning the Billiards Digest Architectural Design Award
as one of the Ten Hottest New Pool Rooms in America, the La Mesa facility was
widely acclaimed throughout the billiards community and Fats selection as the
operator for San Diego's prime downtown Gaslamp location was the direct result
of the success of the La Mesa club. This was the first of Fats' "downtown"
locations.
Fats' fourth operational location, its most ambitious club to date, was a 17,500
sq. ft. club in downtown Santa Rosa. This massive club features over 40
championship tables, a private darts room, 3 private party rooms, a 6,000 sq.
ft. mezzanine, spectacular 16' ceilings, our unique separate non-alcoholic area,
antique tables, ceiling fans, and fun and games galore.
Fats' fifth operational location, and perhaps the flagship of our young chain,
is a 14,000 sq. ft., 2-story facility in the heart of San Diego's historic Gaslamp
District. This club is truly the heart of San Diego County's premier entertainment
center and is surrounded by over 40 restaurants, 3 comedy clubs, legitimate
theaters, Dick's Last Resort, and many, many more entertainment uses. The
club itself features a full restaurant, two bars, two patio eating areas and outdoor
billiards, all accented by historic antique brick with oak and brass finishings
throughout. The first floor includes a private room, one of San Diego's most
inviting pubs, and a split-level format for billiard playing. The second floor,
which is elevator-served, features over 30 tables in two separate rooms, a large
bar area, outdoor patio and dance floor for private parties.
From the formative days of the Partnership in March of 1991, through the
present, the principals of Fats Billiards have researched over 1000 potential Fats
locations and have devised and orchestrated a Business Plan and System of
Operation both innovative and unique to the industry.
Each Fats Billiard Club features a wide variety of entertainment, including
billiards for both the novice and advanced player, a professional darts area,
television screens throughout the club, as well as a big screen television for
sports events, a sports bar with full pub menu including sandwiches, beer and
wine (full liquor bar in most locations).
4
The atmosphere is that of contemporary elegance, featuring stylish
championship billiard tables, color coordinated carpeting and decor in a truly
'90's motif. The mood is set with state of the art CD sound systems, decorative
lighting fixtures, and modern and antique billiard tables and all the amenities for
a spectacular night out.
Fats Billiards currently has five locations in operation: Riverside, Citrus
Heights, La Mesa, Santa Rosa and Downtown San Diego (Gaslamp). In
addition, Fats Billiards is currently in negotiation on sites in Sacramento,
Freemont, San Jose, Fresno, Redding, Rancho Cucamonga, Reno, Nevada and
Portland, Oregon. It is our intention to acquire at least ten locations between
1994 and 1995.

BUSINESS PLAN
We believe that the next ten years will bring a 100% increase in participation
in the sport of billiards. Fats Billiards fully understands this trend and recognizes
the needs of the pool-playing public, and has uniquely positioned itself to take
advantage of this opportunity throughout the '90's. Fats Billiards has carefully
designed its establishments not only to reflect the state-of-the-art in upscale
billiards parlors, but also to be able to accommodate all of the potential billiards-
playing public by including a wide range of amenities.
Each Fats Billiards' location offers a first class environment for playing
billiards, as well as a full spectrum of other amenities, including:
*Snack and full menu food service (served until 4:00 am Thursday, Friday and Saturday)
*Separate Sports Bar (Adults only)*Video game area*State-of-the-art video and sound systems*Full-service Pro-Shop*Cues, cases, and billiards and darts accessories*Foosball, basketball shoot and other challenge sport games*Professional darts area*Private pool rooms
Fats Billiards is fundamentally an entertainment type of business. The majority
of sales occur at night and on weekends when we typically operate at 100%
capacity. With this in mind, Fats Billiards has applied a marketing strategy
designed to enhance "off hours" participation. For example, we offer lunchtime
specials, promoting free or reduced time charges for pool play with a minimum
purchase of food and beverage. This promotion targets nearby businesses,
seniors and traveling sales people. Other off hours promotions include: an
extensive banquet program, weekly pool tournaments, dart tournaments,
promotions with professional pool tournament players, professional trick shot
demonstrations, frequent player discounts, rIP Cards, Ladies' Night, Family Day,
"Dollar Pool Night'', two-for-one promotions, Happy Hour and local business team
tournaments.
9
MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
The marketing and advertising of the Fats Billiards Club concept plays an
important role in the success of every Fats location.
Fats Billiards utilizes a mixture of various media to market each location. For
pre-opening and opening, we rely heavily on the use of radio and newsprint to
announce the coming and Grand Opening of the various Fats Billiards locations.
After each Grand Opening, we generally curtail the use of print advertising and
shift the emphasis to more direct approaches, targeting our existing customer
base with tournaments and special events and expanding to other potential
participation groups, such as organized clubs and groups, private parties, etc.
We will continue to use our Luncheon Specials as a promotional tool to attract
business and professional customers to the game of billiards. The key is to
continue to keep excitement and entertainment in all our promotions.
10
SITE CRITERIA
For the past four years, Fats Billiards has done extensive site research,
reviewing over 1,000 potential sites in order to determine where Fats Billiards will
be most enthusiastically received and where it can best provide healthful
recreational activity for the billiards playing public. We chose markets where the
population is at least 75,000 in a 3-mile radius of the facility with a heavy
emphasis on the 15-44 age group. Although Fats is a "destination" business
which typically draws from the entire market area, we do look for certain specific
criteria in selecting our sites:
* Close proximity to multi-screen movie theater complexes
* Co-tenancy with high-volume restaurants, singles bars or night clubs
* Freeway or primary boulevard visibility and access
* Proximity to colleges or universities
* No local competition
* Co-tenancy with major sporting goods store or Health Clubs
* Close proximity to a high concentration of businesses
* Exceptional signage available
* Open and visible tenant space

The user originally requested 34 tables, however, available parking
adjacent to Building 14 will only accoanodate 29 tables. The
Development Code usels ratio of 2 mpaces l~er billiard table and
does not require that any ancillary uses (such as the bar and food
service area) be calculated separately. There are 58 parking spaces
directly adjacent to Building 14 which will be utilized completely
if 29 tables are permitted. Staff is recommending that only 29
tablll be aXlewed (lie Exhibit "C").
Proposed business hours for the facility will be from 10 a.m. to
3 a.m. Typically one to two employees will be at the facility until
6 p.m. At that point, approximately five to six employees will be
at the facility. NOL~u~lly, when conditional use permits which
involve the serving of &1cobol are reviewed, the hours of operation
of such facilities are limited. However, because of the proximity
of this facility to the industrial area and the potential expindod
hours of operation at the nearby Sports Complex, it Wal not felt to
be a major issue in this particular instance. There is a lack of
specific information regarding the floor plan and space allocation
for this pLt~cicul&r facility. Therefore, the applicant will be
required to submit a full operational plan, including n,,-~r of
employees, allocation of space, and indoor and outdoor security
measures to be employed.
The applicant has not expressed the desire to install any amusement
devices on the premises (which would require a conditional use
ComDetibilitv~ The main consideration with any proposed use within
a center is one of compatibility. The three Ulel proposed are

Note that the Development Code does not provide a specific ratio for
batting cages. A survey was conducted of different cities in the area and
none of the jurisdictions contacted had a specific parking standard for
t~is type of use. The City of Anaheim requires applicants to conduct a
parking study to justify their proposed parking, while the City of Ontario
requires one space per betting cage (if located in a multi-tenant
industrial building, they require a ratio of 1/500). The number used here
is based on the assumption that one car would be utilizing each cage at
any one time, while a group in a second car would be arriving and/or
leaving, (i.e., it provides for a certain amount of overlap).

Compatibility= The main consideration with any proposed use within
a center is one of com~atibility. The use proposed is compatible
with the other recreation oriented Conditional Use Permits which
have been approved for the center. The proposed use occupies the
entirety of Building 15 and therefore, noise and/or vibration will
not be an issue.
As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to su~mit
tenant improvement plans to the City for review. This review will
be conducted to ensure compliance with Building and Safety and Fire
District requirements.
Adequate parking is available for the uses proposed, subject to the
limitations described above.-

Declaration previously issued for Conditional Use Permit 91-24 on
the same site is sufficient for this Conditional Use 9ermit.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Cous~ission must make all of the following
findings in order to approve this application=
That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code, the Industrial Area Specific
Plan, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
